As usual, Li Qing delivered meals to Master Gu. Outside the camp, Li Qing heard another very rapid cough. "Cough cough cough!" Opening the curtain, I saw Master Gu lying on the bed. The aura of death on his body was stronger, and there seemed to be a few more age spots on his face. This is a sign of a dying person. Seeing this scene, Li Qing sighed slightly inwardly. It is really a tragic thing when life comes to an end, especially when you are suffering from lung disease, and you may not be able to walk safely. "Master Gu, it's time to eat." Li Qing placed the rice bowl in front of Master Gu, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. Whether it was due to the favor of passing on the karma or the care he received during his time in the army, Li Qing had to admit that without Master Gu, he would not have been able to live such a prosperous life in the frontier. Master Gu seemed to have captured Li Qing's mentality. He looked at Li Qing and said, "Er Niu, I am not going to die soon. I have something to ask of you." Is this about explaining the funeral arrangements?
Li Qing muttered in his heart, then he lay beside the bed, looked at Master Gu sincerely, and said: "Master Gu, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I can't repay the kindness of teaching, I will try my best to do it." arrive." "Do you want to leave the frontier fortress?" Master Gu looked at Li Qing intently, as if he wanted to see through him. Isn't this nonsense? There will be war soon. Who doesn't want to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible? Of course, it was impossible for Li Qing to say this. Even if Master Gu was about to die, he would not completely trust him. "Leaving the border troops without authorization is a serious crime..." Li Qing pretended to be shocked and looked extremely stupid. Coupled with his cowherd-like face, there is something honest and honest about him. "Ahem! I'm from Qingzhou, and my family lives in Chongning County. Because of some things, I got carried away with anger and offended the local magistrate, so I was sent to the border army as a blacksmith." While coughing, Master Gu continued: "Chongning still has my descendants. If there is a chance in the future, I hope you can pass the "Ancient Xuan Hammer Technique" back to the Gu family. Things from our ancestors are not good for me. That’s it.” Li Qing was silent. He thought for a while and then said: "Master Gu, if I retire from the army in the future, I will definitely return the "Ancient Xuan Hammer Technique" to the Gu family!" "Okay, I'm relieved because of your words, cough, cough, cough!" Master Gu coughed, and then said: "While I'm still alive, I'm going to give you some pointers on this skill. Seeing how you look like this, I went to bed last night It must have been a lot of practice.” Master Gu, who has been practicing "Ancient Xuan Hammer Technique" for so many years, naturally noticed the strangeness of Li Qing's legs and feet at a glance. This was a posture that he only showed when he was standing for the first time. "Thank you, Master Gu!" Li Qing quickly thanked him. "Stop talking nonsense, stand up now and show me." Master Gu waved his hand and urged. Li Qing immediately followed the instructions and started to stand up according to the movements recorded in Hammer Skill. After he stood up, he closed his eyes and began to silently recite the mental method of this hammering skill. Seeing Li Qing's proficiency, Master Gu's cloudy eyes lit up slightly. I just gave him the "Ancient Xuan Hammer Technique" last night, and he was able to practice it to such an extent in just this little time. He is indeed a good martial artist. Master Gu nodded secretly and admired Li Qing's talent in his heart, but he didn't say much. Based on his life experience, what kind of person has he not seen? The talent Li Qing displayed can only be said to be good, and it is far from being a genius.
"Yes, you should be able to stand for nearly half an hour now, but there is another very important point in the foundation of this hammering skill, which is to exhale and inhale." Master Gu gave leisurely instructions. "Exhale and sink into the Dantian, calm down, and feel carefully..." Li Qing closed his eyes and stood still, listening carefully to the ancient master's teachings. Under the guidance of Master Gu, his standing efficiency this time was surprisingly high, and he soon entered a state where his whole body was warm and his energy and blood seemed to be activated. "call!" Half an hour later, Li Qing let out a long breath, and there was a trace of sweat on his honest and honest face. "It's a pity that it's too late for you to practice martial arts. If you could start from a young age, you might be able to achieve something in the martial arts in the future." Master Gu looked at Li Qing with a look of regret. On the road to martial arts, it is best to start practicing from a young age while your bones are still in shape. Because the human body has its limits. After the age of forty, Qi and blood decline, and the physical body begins to gradually age. It is almost impossible to make progress. As for Li Qing, he only started at the age of sixteen and is still spinning at the basics. From the perspective of the ancient master, it is really too late. This kind of gap cannot be smoothed out with just a little talent. "Master Gu, I didn't expect to make great achievements in the martial arts. I will be satisfied if I can gain two more points of strength to strike iron in the future." Li Qing scratched the back of his head and said honestly. Master Gu burst out laughing. He climbed up from the bed with difficulty, and said, "In the army, those centurions are nothing, but there is a centurion named Yuan. If you have any communication with him, Qian Please pay attention to this person.” "In addition, there is a female captain named Qian. This person has a mysterious origin and must not be offended!" Li Qing heard this, blinked his eyes, and then nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice. "I am just a small blacksmith. I will never have any chance to interact with those adults. Master, don't worry." "Hahaha, that's enough. Let's go. It's a blessing to have an apprentice when I am about to die." Master Gu waved his hand and drove Li Qing out of the tent. After leaving the tent, Li Qing washed the rice bowl as quickly as possible and returned to his own tent. He lit the furnace and began to smelt iron ingots to forge the farm tools and cutters that the Yan family wanted. The iron forging conditions in the army are much better than those in the Polar Night World. It is more efficient to melt iron ingots and forge things here. As for the Polar Night World, because the speed of time is three times that of this world, Li Qing plans to practice martial arts there in the future. In this way, the advantages of the two worlds can be maximized. . Dang! Ding! Ding! After the iron ingots were smelted, Li Qing began to hammer them one by one. Soon, he was pleasantly surprised to find that he was now more comfortable swinging the hammer, and his strength was much greater. "It should be the effect of the Ancient Mysterious Hammer Technique... This will greatly improve my efficiency in forging iron!" Li Qing said to himself in surprise. Just practicing the basic pile training has such an effect, which makes Li Qing more determined to practice the Ancient Mysterious Hammer Technique to perfection. ...
