Ink panel: Hunting the sun and surveying the sky from the bow

In the village, the sky was getting dark, and bursts of smoke were rising.

The barking of dogs occasionally broke the silence, and then it quickly returned to silence.

Chen Yuan found that at this hour, Chen Tai and Chen An still showed no sign of returning, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Even the pile skills that he had already mastered on weekdays could not be practiced at this time.

"Both of them are veterans. They have been wandering in the mountains since they were young. Even if the third brother is playful by nature, he should not come back after dark."

Suddenly, Chen Yuan had a bad guess.

He glanced at the sky and knew that it was the same as dying on the mountain at this time, so he put on an animal skin jacket and slammed the door out, knocking on the neighbor's door.

The person who opened the door was a member of the same generation of the Chen family. In the Chen family, they are called Chen Laowu: "What's the matter with Chen Ada?"

Chen Yuan asked directly: "Lao Wu, did you see my two younger brothers when you went up the mountain today?"

Chen Laowu, who was questioned, was slightly startled, and immediately replied: "No, I went up the mountain with a few people from the hall, but we didn't meet anyone else. What's wrong? My cousin and the others haven't come back yet?"

Chen Yuan shook his head and said, "I haven't replied yet."

"Just wait for me. I'll ask everyone in the Chen family to go door to door and ask questions."

There are more than thirty households in Hongshan Village, including ten of the Chen family. There are many people in the village.

Living in such a remote place, blood relations have become an important bond.

When a family has trouble, the whole family helps.

People like the Tian family with a small population are often at a disadvantage in a place like Hongshan Village.

With that said, Chen Laowu put on a ragged coat, followed Chen Yuan, and called out all the men in the Chen family.

Suddenly, the quiet Hongshan Village suddenly became agitated and noisy.

"Open the door, open the door."

"Old Tiantou, are you at home? I have something to do with you."

"..."

Everyone in the Chen family went door to door and asked. Some people had already gone to bed to rest, and they were all called up.

Faced with the fierce attack of the Chen family, no one in the village dared to disobey.

In a simple adobe house.

Shen Qing is concentrating on practicing the Nine Skills Brocade.

As he continues to practice, the progress of this technique is visible to the naked eye.

Every breath Shen Qing takes is like swallowing the essence of heaven and earth, integrating it into his own Qi and blood, causing his skin to gradually glow with a faint red light, as if he is full of Qi and blood.

[Skill: Jiu Gong Brocade (Introductory)]

[Progress: 18/100 points]

[Status: Cannot be upgraded]

[Remarks: It is a skill for tempering qi and blood. Continuous practice can improve the progress. When qi and blood are perfect, you will be as strong as an ox. 】

"According to this training progress, it only takes one day for me to break through this martial arts to the next level."

After practicing for a while, Shen Qing's waist and knees felt numb and weak, and his legs were sore as if they were being pricked by needles.

He collapsed directly on the ground, panting heavily.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but after practicing for a while, he felt that most of his newly full stomach had been eaten.

The whole body was filled with heat and he didn't feel cold at all. This experience made Shen Qing feel a little strange.

Shen Qing looked at the blue booklet in front of him, but felt a little pity in his heart.

In addition to pictures, there are also some textual annotations.

He guessed that it might have something to do with some realm essentials, but unfortunately he was illiterate and couldn't fully understand its meaning.

Feeling the magic of martial arts, Shen Qing felt that he had to work hard to learn how to read and write.

Now his life is getting better day by day, and he can take out some things and go to Zhang Shuchi in the village to read Braille.

Just when Shen Qing was making up his mind, he suddenly heard a burst of noise and noise outside the house.

For some reason, he immediately became alert and asked Shen Fang to throw the items he brought down from the mountain today into the bed and hide them.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Shen Qing, are you at home?"

"Coming, coming. Be gentle and don't knock on my door."

Shen Qing opened the door and it was Chen Laowu.

Before Shen Qing could speak, Chen Laowu had already asked: "Did you see the two Chen brothers when you went up to the mountain today?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qing's heart beat twice more.

Fortunately, he was an extremely calm person, and there was nothing unusual about his face. He said calmly: "I've never seen it before. People in the village think my hunting skills are immature, so they don't want to take me. I've always been alone. Go hunting in the mountains."

Chen Laowu looked at Shen Qing twice and found no clues, so he said twice: "Chen Tai and the others have not come back today. Please pay attention if you go up the mountain later."

"I understand." Shen Qing lowered his head and said, "If you see me, I'll tell you right away."

"good."

Chen Laowu didn't think much, walked to the next door and knocked on other people's doors.

Shen Qing looked at Chen Laowu's leaving figure, secretly breathing a sigh of relief in his heart, and closed the door with a creak.

That night, the Chen family kept busy until half the night.

All the people living in the village dared not speak out.

On the second day, the Chen family, who had been struggling for half the night, went up the mountain together to look for the whereabouts of Chen Yuan and Chen Tai.

Only then did the villagers realize that the two brothers had gone hunting in the mountains all night and had not returned home, and their whereabouts were unknown.

Most of the people in Hongshan Village rely on hunting in the mountains. If they know this situation, they will most likely die in the mountains.

There are many dangers in the mountains, including wolves, insects, tigers and leopards.

If you are not careful for a moment, you may find yourself on the road.

It was just that they didn’t expect that Chen Tai and Chen An, who were still so majestic the day before, were gone in the blink of an eye.

Tian Chuan’s parents, who heard the news, stood at the door and said that God had opened his eyes, and they cried with joy, which made people sigh.

Because the Chen family members all rushed into Shicheng Mountain, the mountain was crowded and chaotic.

Many hunters did not go into the mountain to hunt again, and chose to rest at home.

Shen Qing was the same.

He put all his energy into practicing the martial arts of Jiugongjin at home.

As for the bodies of Chen Tai and Chen An, Shen Qing was not worried that the Chen family would find them.

Shicheng Mountain was too big and it was snowing.

Shen Qing was running around randomly that day. If there was no mark now, he might not be able to find them, let alone them.

Even if they were found by the time they were found, they might have been eaten clean by wild beasts.

Shen Qing locked himself in the house and practiced the first four piles of Hunyuan pile, Contradiction pile, Infant pile and Floating Cloud pile repeatedly.

As he continued to practice, he felt a warm current as thick as a hair, which began to flow in his body.

And this warm current became thicker and thicker as Shen Qing stood still for a longer time.

Compared with the beginning of yesterday's practice, he found that the feeling of fatigue and pain was much less today.

"After all, this is a serious martial art for health preservation, used to refine qi and blood. As long as you can get through it and get into the door, it will become easier and easier to practice."

Shen Qing knew that this martial art was definitely not good among the major martial arts halls in the county, but this did not prevent him from placing high hopes on it and knocking on the door of martial arts.
