Chapter 40 Four Gates and Seven Paths When Liang Qu dressed neatly and appeared in the hall again, everyone's eyes lit up. Ape arms, bee waist, and mantis legs. In short, he has long arms, long legs, a thin waist, and broad shoulders. In addition, the cowhide belt holds the clothes tightly together, revealing the figure, making Liang Qu look tall and handsome, like a spear. Yang Dongxiong praised loudly: "Great, this is the vigor of young people!" "It's over, my title of the most handsome guy is really going to change!" "Brother Xu, please save yourself the trouble. It's always me, okay?" Cao Rang sneered. "It's a pity that the eldest brother is not here. He is the richest man, and the things he can give must be the best. Who knows, it might be a panacea." "By the way, Master, have you informed Senior Brother?" Yang Dongxiong nodded: "I wrote a letter last night, but I haven't sent it yet. I'll send someone to deliver it later. I'll get a reply in about a month, and I'll definitely make it up to you by then." Seeing Liang Qu's doubts, Xu Zishuai explained, "Big Brother has joined the Western Army and is now a captain of a thousand households. I heard that he will be promoted again soon, so it is not convenient for him to come back, so you didn't see him." Liang Qu suddenly realized.
Everyone chatted for a while, mostly asking about Liang Qu's living conditions. After half an hour, the third brother Lu Gang said goodbye. He was not good at speaking and preferred blacksmithing. He wanted to go back to design a spear. "Junior brother, just come to my house in the evening. If you follow the road in front of Yang's house, you will see a grain store called Xuji. There is an alley next to it. If you go in and keep walking, you will see a big anvil. That is my house." "Okay, I'll remember that. Take care, Third Brother." After Lu Gang left, the others chatted for a while, then decided it was about time and left one after another, leaving only the three youngest disciples. Yang Dongxiong took a sip of tea and said, "Xiaojiu, you are so angry." Liang Qu didn't want to deceive people about cultivation, as it would only harm his own interests in the end, so he said frankly, "It's about the thickness of my index finger." Hu Qi and Xiang Changsong were both shocked when he heard this: "Junior brother, you have only been learning for a month, how come your progress is so fast? I haven't seen you take any medicine!" "I caught another precious fish a few days ago." Liang Qu scratched his head. "It was an eel, all scarlet, with a cow's tail growing from the back. I was so excited that I stewed it and ate it. After eating it, my whole body felt hot and I kept punching. After I finished, my qi, which was as thick as a chopstick, was as thick as my index finger." "A vermilion eel with a bull's tail?" Hu Qi and Xiang Changsong fell into deep thought. It seemed that they didn’t have such a precious fish in their memory. "Master Yang, do you know what kind of fish this is?" "I don't know either, but the Jianghuai marshes are so vast, there are so many unknown fish species, it's not surprising." Yang Dongxiong concluded. It’s okay not to know, I just made it up. Liang Qu initially wanted to say that he had caught another bighead carp, which was the best fish he knew. But then he changed his mind and thought that this fish could not directly increase his blood and energy to the thickness of his index finger, so he just made up a story. There are so many species that are not found in modern rivers, let alone ancient environments. Moreover, there are red blood bass weighing one liang to one jin, and bull horn pomfret weighing two liang to one jin, so there must be other precious fish weighing ten liang or one hundred liang to one jin. It is not surprising to see any effect. "But Junior Brother, you can train until your penis is as thick as a chopstick in a month without taking any medicine. You have great talent. Master, when you have time, you can measure your horoscope to see what your talent is. There is still too little that can be revealed by touching your bones." Fate?
Liang Qu learned a new word and chewed it silently, not understanding its meaning. As if seeing Liang Qu's confusion, Hu Qi said, "This fate is not that fate. It does not mean destiny, but talent. Junior brother, just understand it this way. The details will become clear after the fate is measured." Unexpectedly, Yang Dongxiong shook his head: "I don't have any more incense ash, and my tools are incomplete. It will take some time to weigh the horoscope." Liang Qu asked, "Master, I heard from Senior Brother Hu that if the air in the chest is as thick as a little finger, it can break the skin barrier. I didn't know how to break it before, so I forced it to the thickness of my index finger. Will there be any problems?" "Don't worry about it. It makes no difference. After breaking through the skin barrier, you still need to continue to accumulate energy in your chest. A little finger thick is just the minimum requirement for breaking through. A thick index finger will only make it easier." Liang Qu felt relieved. He was indeed worried that he might have practiced it wrong. After all, he had never been exposed to it before, and the novels he had read could not be relied upon. One was fantasy and the other was reality, so they definitely could not fit together. He couldn't help feeling uneasy. "Your injury hasn't healed yet, so you can wait until it heals before practicing. Next, you should follow Hu Qi. He can teach you when he's at the martial arts gym. He can also teach you some common sense and key points. Then, let Xiang Changsong take you to the Changchun Medical Clinic to familiarize yourself with the clinic. It will be more convenient for him to prescribe medicine in the future." Yang Dongxiong settled the matter with just a few words. He would accept Liang Qu as his disciple, but Liang Qu's realm was too low, so there was no need to teach him personally. It would be the same if Hu Qi came instead. "By the way, are you literate?" "Some, but not much." "Then you have to take time out every day to go to a private school to learn to read. I will arrange a teacher for you." "Thank you, Master." By the time Yang Dongxiong had finished explaining everything, it was already nine o'clock in the morning. Liang Qu and his two brothers did not linger any longer and went to Changchun Medical Clinic to get acquainted with themselves. Changchun Medical Clinic is the largest medical clinic in the entire Pingyang Town. In the lobby alone, there are four or five doctors sitting behind the counter providing consultations, and there is a long queue at the door. Hu Qi and others had no intention of queuing and took Liang Qu into the lobby. As soon as he entered the door, Xiang Changsong shouted to the counter: "Manager Chen, this is my master's new ninth disciple, my junior brother, come and show him around." The gray-haired shopkeeper quickly left the counter and came forward to greet him. He looked at Liang Qu and complimented him, "This must be the Ninth Young Master, right? The Ninth Young Master is truly a handsome man, unforgettable. The rest of you, come over here and call him. Be smart." Several busy servants put down their work and came forward to greet him, but they did not call him Young Master Jiu, but Master Jiu. "Do you remember clearly?" "Reply to the shopkeeper, I've made sure of that." "Come on, get back to work." Shopkeeper Chen turned around and said, "Then let's follow the old rules. As long as you come, it will be 50% of the price." "Thank you, Manager Chen." "You're welcome. It's a great honor for us to have you here." After a brief chat, the three of them were about to leave the clinic. Before leaving, Hu Qi grabbed three more packets of medicine, but the shopkeeper refused to take any money, and just took it as a celebration of Master Yang for having another good disciple. Liang Qu was flattered and felt deeply moved when he thought of the IOU he had written when he accompanied Chen Qingjiang to the clinic to get medicine. It's really a step to heaven. On the way back to the martial arts gym, Hu Qi began to explain to Liang Qu how to break through. The method is very simple, which is to stimulate the blood and qi, that is, the long qi in the chest, let the long qi flow and dissipate, and stimulate the skin all over the body. When stimulated to a certain degree, the skin will experience a dramatic increase in strength and become as tough as cowhide.
"This training is somewhat dangerous, so it's best to have someone lead you. I'll show you again when we get to the martial arts gym." "As for the seven paths after the four levels of skin, flesh, bones and blood, they are divided into Galloping Horse, Wolf Smoke, Hunting Tiger, Perfect Elephant, Silence Dragon, Furnace and Transformation Rainbow. Each path has further subdivisions." “At the peak of the Galloping Horse Realm, one can pull back dozens of galloping horses without moving them. In the wolf smoke realm, the blood is like wolf smoke, dense and high, like a god, the power is stimulated like being attacked by a pack of wolves, the momentum is terrifying. In the tiger hunting state, the blood surges like tides, and the strength is stimulated. Ordinary people are frightened at the sight of it, like a weak rabbit encountering a tiger, their hearts and gallbladders broken. When you reach the realm of Xiang, you can shake the earth, collapse mountains and suppress rivers with just a move of your hands, and you can be a great general when you go in and out. In the Yaolong realm, people are like celestial dragons, able to break free from the shackles of heaven and earth, leap three thousand feet into the clouds, and become the martial saint of a country. I don't know much about the Furnace and Huahong. I only heard that Huahong can transform his physical body into Feihong and ascend to heaven. In fact, there should be another barrier of internal organs after the skin, flesh, bones and blood, but because once the barrier of internal organs is broken, it is the initial stage of the galloping horse, so the two realms are usually mentioned together. " Is martial arts in this world so awesome? Liang Qu wasn't sure whether this description was exaggerated or not, but it did sound pretty awesome. "What realm is Master Yang in then?" "Tiger hunting." "Tiger hunting!?" Liang Qu's pupils shrank slightly. How could a small town like Pingyang have a strong tiger hunter? Is it true that it is very easy to make breakthroughs in martial arts, but it is actually like cabbage? Hu Qi smiled and said, "Junior brother, do you know that there are three martial arts schools in Pingyang Town?" "knew." "The other two stayed in Pingyang Town because they only had enough money to open a museum in Pingyang Town. Master Yang stayed in Pingyang Town just because it is his hometown." Liang Qu suddenly realized, it’s just the difference between 100 points and 99 points? The martial arts in this world are much stronger than he imagined, and he is looking forward to breaking through the barrier more and more. As for Mr. Zhao, the Damocles who once hung over his head, what an old jerk? (End of this chapter)
