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

It was a deep sleep.

Due to Shen Qing's practice of Jiu Gong Brocade, his whole body's energy and blood are very full. Even if he occasionally stays up all night, he will not feel tired.

So as usual, at about the same time, Shen Qing hit his biological clock and woke up, full of energy.

Morning.

Shen Qing and Shen Xiaohu habitually squatted on the threshold of the inn's backyard.

The two of them each held a large bowl in their hands, sucking porridge along the edge of the bowl.

After Shen Qing took a big mouthful of white porridge, she said to Shen Xiaohu: "Pack up your things today. Let's go back to the village in the afternoon."

"Why are you leaving so quickly and not staying any longer?"

Shen Qing said: "I haven't been back for a long time, and I'm a little worried about my sister. Spring is about to start, so I have to go hunting in the mountains early to avoid being left behind after the spring starts."

Shen Xiaohu joked: "Brother Qingzi, you already have so much money, why do you still want to pay attention to the odds and ends of hunting?"

He was personally involved in Zhao Ba's matter, and he knew about the money Shen Qing received. It was a hundred taels, which was quite a lot.

"How long can I practice with this little money? What if I run out of money in the future and my ability to eat becomes rusty again? You won't have time to regret it then."

"oh."

Shen Xiaohu lowered his head and said nothing more.

Shen Qing took a sip of porridge, his eyes twinkling.

In fact, he was in a hurry to go back, mainly because he wanted to avoid the limelight.

After killing Zhao Ba, Huang Tianjiao was involved again, and he still had three treasures in hand, so it was not safe in the city.

It's better to go back to Hongshan Village and stay there for a while.

Let’s wait until things settle down a bit here.

In addition, I want to take advantage of the spring ban to practice hunting, archery and other skills to improve my progress.

These two may be of great use in the future.

Of course, these things can only be kept in mind and cannot be discussed with Shen Xiaohu.

After breakfast, Shen Qing packed up everything in the room and rushed to Linfeng Hall with Shen Xiaohu.

When he entered Linfeng Hall again, he didn't know if Shen Qing was a little sensitive, but he felt that the atmosphere in Linfeng Hall had become much more solemn.

But I can’t tell you exactly.

All in all, not very good.

The eldest brother and the uncle of the hall haven't come back yet.

Shen Qing just kept his head down and practiced fighting according to the method taught by Li Linfeng before.

After thinking about it last night, Shen Qing suddenly felt more comfortable practicing this style of play today, and even the progress of proficiency became much faster.

Shen Qing recalled the little finger he used last night and understood it carefully.

There is no doubt that Cai Jiasheng is a martial artist in the skin-forging realm, and he is good at using boxing techniques.

Judging from his current perspective, Cai Jiasheng's boxing technique is actually very rough, with many flaws, and is definitely not as meticulous as Linfeng Zilai's.

It's all about relying on one's state of mind and all one's strength to face the enemy.

It was precisely because of this that Shen Qing subconsciously caught the loophole in his little move, and that's what happened next.

Thinking of this, Shen Qing gradually understood why Li Linfeng had to focus on basics and speed while also increasing his strength.

Because only in this way can there be fewer flaws, tight defense, and at the same time, attack faster than the opponent and kill the opponent with one move.

If he had been stronger at that time, or if he had developed more strength, he would have been able to kill Cai Jiasheng with a single finger.

Shen Qing put away his thoughts and continued to practice hard.

At this time, Xiao Zhi, who was also in the inner courtyard, quietly came over and said, "Shen Qing, do you know about Tieniu's death yesterday?"

"I heard about it." Shen Qing said noncommittally, "Oh... we obviously had dinner together yesterday."

"Oh, you don't have to be sad. There's no way it's such a mess outside, especially those who are hanging out in the outer city." After saying that, Xiao Zhi continued mysteriously: "Did you know that Tieniu's death involves the Huangtian Sect?"

"Ah? There is such a thing?" Shen Qing was surprised: "I really don't know."

"Let me tell you, Huang Tianjiao went to the yamen last night, and people from Weiwusi took action overnight and went to the outer city. It really caused a lot of confusion. Now everyone in the city is panicked."

Shen Qing asked casually, as if with deep meaning: "Has the county government dealt with Huang Tianjiao?"

"It won't be long before the county will definitely post a notice saying that all the criminal culprits have been arrested. It's not like you don't know our county government's work style? To what extent does it go, who knows?"

"Too."

"Let's hurry up and learn our skills well."

Shen Qing echoed a few words, and the two said no more.

By the afternoon, it was almost time.

Shen Qing went to the backyard, took care of her aunt, and then planned to return to the village.

Coming out of her aunt's room, Shen Qing once again met the young man with unusually developed chest muscles.

She has a square face, and her appearance is somewhat similar to that of the hall master's uncle.

There is no preference for boys over girls in the Zhou Dynasty. As long as they are talented enough, both men and women can learn martial arts, and after completing their studies, they can also hold positions in the court.

It’s just that women have to get married sooner or later, and they are physically inferior to men.

Not many people are famous for their martial arts skills.

I heard my aunt occasionally mention that this is Li Lingchan, the fourth daughter of the hall master's uncle. She has some talent in martial arts, so she is also the child that the hall master's uncle focuses on training.

"What are you looking at?"

Li Lingchan, the female young master who met him head-on, glared at Shen Qing and was very dissatisfied with his look.

Shen Qing didn't want to cause trouble for herself, so she lowered her head and looked away without looking further, and passed her by.

When he glanced at it, he found that the back of this female young master was tall and thick, with a strong back and a strong waist, just like a man.

As expected, he has some talent for martial arts.

"Coward."

Shen Qing retracted his gaze and turned a deaf ear to Li Lingchan's words.

In the afternoon, he took Shen Xiaohu away from Linfeng Hall.

Just like before.

He went to the street to buy some daily necessities and then went straight to the city gate.

I don't know if it's because of the Huangtian Sect, the guards at the city gate have been much stricter.

Fortunately, these guards still have some impression of Shen Qing and did not make things difficult for them. In addition, leaving the city was easy and there was no money, so the guards checked them casually and let them pass.

This time, Zhao Ba died, and the Weiwu Division got involved. The shantytowns on the west city gate side are much more stable than the previous times.

Almost no one came around, and even the beggars who passed by were not seen.

After walking for a while, Shen Qing found black smoke coming out of the shantytowns in the distance.

It seemed that there was a big fire over there, and there were still embers.

"Make way, make way."

Five or six officials suddenly appeared on the street in front of them, squeezing on the avenue and pushing pedestrians to both sides.

Behind them, a dozen people were tied with ropes and walked towards the city.

These people were like prisoners, with their hands tied with ropes and their mouths tied with ropes, and were pulled forward by the officials.

Some people in the crowd recognized their neighbors and couldn't help whispering.

"Auntie Wang is actually a member of the Huangtian Sect. She doesn't talk much."

"And the little tailor is the same. I have asked him to sew pants for me."

"..."

Familiar people were recognized one by one, causing a commotion in the crowd.

When these people passed by Shen Qing, he found that their eyes were bright and there was no fear. He could faintly hear them chanting in a low voice: "Heaven is below, Huang Tian is above..."

It made people feel inexplicably irritated.

Shen Qing watched these people go away, without saying a word, and drove the car again, heading towards Hongshanzhai.
