Chapter 116 Herbs

Zhang Xiaohua put down the book and told her second brother about the situation during this period. Of course, Zhang Xiaohu was concerned about his right hand. Helplessly, Zhang Xiaohua had to raise his right hand in front of her second brother again, bent his five fingers a few times. Looking at her brother's thin right hand and his fingers that felt a little flexible, Zhang Xiaohu was still a little relieved, and was full of expectations, hoping that Zhang Xiaohua's right hand would recover as before.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Xiaohua finally asked the main topic: "Second brother, how are you practicing your internal skills?"

When Zhang Xiaohua heard the question asked her, Zhang Xiaohu couldn't hide his excitement in his eyes and said, "Guess?"

When Zhang Xiaohua saw her second brother like this, she naturally knew it and said in surprise: "Second brother, have you succeeded?"

Zhang Xiaohu said: "Yes, a few days after I came back from you, I successfully found a sense of anger."

Zhang Xiaohua asked: "Then, second brother, is it because I have found a sense of qi to practice the internal strength and mind skills?"

Zhang Xiaohu shook his head and said, "It's still early. Finding the qi feeling is just the first step at the beginning. The road ahead is still very long. It means that I can practice internal energy. With the direction, I can gather qi in the dantian and lay the foundation for the luck in the meridians in the body in the future. If I can't even find the qi feeling, I will have no way to practice internal energy and mental methods."

This was a foggy story on Zhang Xiaohua. Although he had read a lot of books during this period and even had martial arts books, he had never been exposed to anything about internal skills and mental methods. Zhang Xiaohu's professional names made him scratch his head.

I had to ask: "Second brother, can you tell me what is qi sensation, what is dantian, what is qi gathering and luck?"

Looking at Zhang Xiaohua's appearance, Zhang Xiaohu thought about it, got up and looked outside the door, closed the door, and then said to Zhang Xiaohua: "Actually, these names are very common things. As long as anyone can practice the internal skills and mental methods, they must know it, and there is no secret. Although Mr. Qu San explained that the content of the internal skills and mental methods cannot be revealed, I think these common sense things should not be within this range."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua said, "Second brother, if you really can't talk, I'll go back and ask Captain He."

Zhang Xiaohu smiled and said, "If I really can't tell you, I won't tell you. Since I can tell you all this, why bother asking others?"

Zhang Xiaohua jumped up happily and said, "I knew my second brother was nice to me, so I'll tell you quickly."

Zhang Xiaohu sorted out his thoughts and said in a leisurely manner: "When it comes to internal strength, we must first talk about the meridians. The meridians are some meridians distributed in our body that can run true qi. Through these meridians, the true qi can be sent to all parts of the body. The moves produced by using true qi also have internal strength. Do you understand? Xiaohua?"

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said, "I understand. The punch that ordinary people only have their own strength. If there is true energy in the meridians of the fist, there will be internal strength. Is that true?

Zhang Xiaohu nodded and said, "That's right, so, this cultivation of internal energy is a process of accumulation of true qi. The accumulation of true qi is a process from nothing to something. This process is called qi sensation. With qi sensation, it means the first wisp of true qi. The true qi is usually stored in a place called dantian, right here, under the navel, when practicing and exercising qi, it comes out of the dantian and flows along the meridians of the whole body or where you want it to go. Generally speaking, the process of qi sensation is the process of gathering qi. There will be more and more true qi, and the more true qi is mobilized, the greater the internal energy."

Zhang Xiaohua thoughtfully said, "Last time, Yu Deyi's purple clay palm, did he use internal force, just adjust the true energy from the dantian to the palm to produce such a great power."

Zhang Xiaohu nodded and said, "Yes, the transport of true qi is a rigorous process. It must be run on a fixed route and cannot be disturbed. If there is a slight interference, it will deviate from the original route and run to the fork. At the very least, the body will lose control, and at the worst, the life will be lost. This is what is often called "going to the point of being obsessed. In fact, when we practiced boxing before, we would not be obsessed without using true qi, haha."

Only then did Zhang Xiaohua realize that this is how she is so obsessed with it.

Then, Zhang Xiaohua continued to ask: "How does that true qi come out? Did it come out of the soles of the feet? Or did it come out of thin air?"

In connection with his own feeling of being cold and hot, and its movement in his body, Zhang Xiaohua felt vaguely that this seemed not the true qi that the second brother mentioned. Instead, the warm current produced when using the sword move was a bit like true qi. However, it did come out of thin air from the shoulders, not from his own dantian.

Zhang Xiaohu thought about this question and said, "I don't know if every internal energy method is the same. When I practice, I sit there with my five hearts facing the sky, looking at my nose and my mouth, and then my tongue presses against the upper jaw of my mouth, thinking of gas flowing in from my forehead, and swallowing it with the body fluids in my mouth, guiding these gases to my dantian. This process is the key. I have been doing this some time ago, and it has only recently been truly aggregating true qi in my dantian."

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned. This process was really far from her. However, he still asked unwillingly: "Second brother, does that true qi have to exist in the dantian? Have you entered from one part of the body and out from another part of the body?"

Zhang Xiaohu was stunned and frowned and said, "I can't say this, but I heard from Master Qu San that the dantian is the center of true qi. Without dantian, you cannot cultivate internal strength. Moreover, the martial arts of the useless people in the world are to point out the dantian. I think if there is no dantian, it may not work. Moreover, true qi is transported from the dantian when you want to use it. If it comes from one place to another, then how do you use it? Can it be called true qi?"

Then, he asked again: "Xiaohua, why are you asking so many incredible things?"

Zhang Xiaohua opened her mouth and wanted to tell the truth, but when she thought about the consequences of the second brother's devil just now, she was afraid that it would affect her second brother's cultivation. Besides, she couldn't explain clearly what she was. She said it but made her worried, so she just kept it from him and told her until she figured it out.

Having made up his mind, Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Isn't this curiosity about internal forces? I finally found someone who understands it, so why don't you ask more questions?"

Zhang Xiaohu patted his chest and said with a worried look: "Master Qu San also said that the cultivation of true qi is extremely dangerous. It usually takes the guidance of an experienced master, otherwise it will be easy to get possessed. Don't practice blindly."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "I understand, second brother, I want to practice, but where did I get the internal skills and mental methods?"

Zhang Xiaohu also smiled and said, "That's true."

Then, Zhang Xiaohu asked about the Liuhe Fist that Zhang Xiaohua learned. When he heard that Zhang Xiaohua only remembered seven moves, he was very dumbfounded and didn't know how to comfort Zhang Xiaohua.

However, seeing that Zhang Xiaohua didn't agree with it, she didn't say anything. In fact, she still wanted to ask him how he learned boxing. But I didn't think there would be too good news. I was afraid that it would reveal the scars in my brother's heart and make him sad, so I stopped mentioning it.

The two brothers met and chatted casually, and time passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, most of the day passed. When it was almost dark, Zhang Xiaohua said goodbye to her second brother and returned to Huanxi Villa.

When he returned to the villa, it was already dark. Walking on the road in the villa, holding the books about medicinal cultivation in his hand, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but feel a little funny. I remember that he joked for Li Jinfeng last time, but he actually took it as real. It was really enough... No, thinking about Li Jinfeng's last time he came to the villa, Zhang Xiaohua immediately understood that Mr. Li was really good at it. However, thinking about Sister Qiutong's kindness to him and Li Jinfeng's frankness and simplicity, Zhang Xiaohua was still willing to do something about it. However, I still don't know what Sister Qiutong feels to Mr. Li, so I will talk about it later.

After entering the courtyard, he passed by He Tianshu's house and saw a light in the room. Zhang Xiaohua knew that He Tianshu should be in the house. He looked at the books in his hand and came to the door. Before he could knock on the door, He Tianshu's slightly hoarse voice came from inside: "Who, come in."

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned, pushed the door open and entered the room, and asked strangely: "Captain He, I haven't knocked on the door yet, how did you know that someone is coming?"

When He Tianshu saw that it was Zhang Xiaohua coming in, he smiled and said, "This, you will know when you practice your internal strength. If you transfer your internal strength to your ears, you can hear the movements within a few feet of the surroundings."

Zhang Xiaohua said in surprise: "Ah! It's so magical."

He Tianshu said: "It depends on the depth of internal strength. Some people can still listen to it for more than ten feet."

Zhang Xiaohua looked up at the little stars with her eyes.

However, he immediately thought that sometimes he could feel the people walking outside, but it seemed that he just felt it.

Then, He Tianshu asked, "I'm going to the Lotus Escort Agency today. How about your brother there?"

Zhang Xiaohua said happily: "Yes, Captain He, I haven't seen my second brother for a while. Go and see. He is very good and is practicing internal skills."

"Huh~" He Tianshu was a little surprised and said, "I feel angry so quickly?"

Zhang Xiaohua said proudly: "Yes, didn't I say that my second brother is a genius."

He Tianshu offered him a thunderous offer and said, "I just didn't expect your second brother to feel angry so quickly, but I didn't say he was a genius. People with distracting thoughts in their hearts are not easy to get started. However, like your second brother, they are not considered genius. The disciples of the Piaomiao Sect will get angry for two or three days."

"o, that's how it's." Zhang Xiaohua opened her mouth wide. She thought that her second brother was already very idol. If so, wouldn't the disciples of the Piaomiao Sect all their idols?

This idol is too cheap.

Zhang Xiaohua looked at He Tianshu and asked again: "How long does Captain He feel angry?"

He Tianshu scratched his head, pretended to be contemplative, and said, "It seems that I have been in four days. I am not very qualified, so I was assigned to the Pharmacy Hall."

"Oh," Zhang Xiaohua sighed, lowered her head and said, "I guess I'm going to the food room."

"Come on, it's so easy to enter the food room of the Piaomiao Sect." He Tianshu was not polite and said honestly.

It hurts self-esteem, and Zhang Xiaohua's face is not very good-looking.

However, He Tianshu said again: "If you were selected into the Piaomiao Sect when you were young, you might be assigned to Shenjitang."

Zhang Xiaohua's face was happy and said, "Shenjitang? It sounds very majestic, what's it for?"

He Tianshu said: "The Piaomiao Sect's early weapons, they envied your strength."

"Ah~ That's it." Zhang Xiaohua completely understood that people were not interested in her qualifications, but it was strange that she was not as strong as she used to be, so why is she so powerful now?

Could it be that spring?

Just as he was thinking, He Tianshu asked, "By the way, is there anything you have to do?"

Zhang Xiaohua then remembered the reason why she entered the house, so she asked: "Captain He, you have always looked frowning during this period. I heard from Xiaoer Nie, are they those medicinal herbs that cannot sprout?"

"Well, yes, it's almost a year, I'm a little worried." He Tianshu sighed and couldn't help but say to Zhang Xiaohua: "These medicinal materials were planted at the beginning of this year. I don't know why, but they don't sprout. Actually, it's okay for me to stay here, but if this continues, it will ruin the big things in the sect. Many medicines rely on these medicinal materials, then..."

As he said that, he suddenly stopped, as if he realized his incompetence, and said embarrassedly: "Anyway, I feel a little guilty."

Zhang Xiaohua raised the book in her hand and said, "Oh, when I went to the escort agency to find my second brother, Mr. Li Jinfeng and Mr. Li brought me some books on medicinal materials. I want to use it for you to see if it will be helpful."

He Tianshu heard this and patted Zhang Xiaohua on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, thank you, you are really concerned."

"However," He Tianshu took the books, read them roughly, and said apologetically: "Although I can read the text and verbal, I am only limited to martial arts books. I can't understand this thing. Moreover, the elders of the Pharmacy Hall are studying this every day, and they probably read it a lot. If there were solutions here, they would have discovered it long ago."

Zhang Xiaohua disagreed and said, "The content of this book is written by people. What everyone sees and experiences may not be the same. The ancients said that it is good and brainstorming is also beneficial."

He Tianshu was speechless. He had no experience in learning the "Beidou God Fist" from ordinary boxing books, so he naturally sneered. However, he immediately turned his head and said, "Let's do it, Zhang Xiaohua, only you have extraordinary talent in literature (voice-extra, martial arts talent is a mess). This task will be given to you. You can read these books first, and then, if not enough, I will lend you more from the Pharmacy Hall. What do you think?"

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned. What's this? I just kindly recommended you a way of thinking. You put this task on me. Will you still let me speak in the future? Anyone who provides a reasonable suggestion is just a sentence, "I'll leave it to you." Who can stand this? It's pure bureaucracy.

However, Zhang Xiaohua was still unable to refuse He Tianshu's order, so she had to nod and agree. Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's helpless look, He Tianshu was also helpless. He gave such a burden to the half-aged child, not to destroy Zhang Xiaohua's enthusiasm, but it was also a waste of time to be a living person. It was the best way to find a method, and it would be okay if he couldn't find it. He just asked him to read a few more books, but the ending was probably the latter, and He Tianshu could guess it with his heels.

Zhang Xiaohua drooped her head and returned to her hut with a few books. She lit the oil lamp. She did not rush to open the book, but turned around and called the lantern, and went out to practice her boxing and swordsmanship in the woods.

Sword technique is a thing used to save lives, so naturally the more proficient it is, the better. After many days of practice, the warm current in the left sword from the shoulder to the fingertips seemed to be much faster, and the speed of his left hand drawing sword seemed to be faster, and the angle was even more weird than before. Zhang Xiaohua couldn't figure out how to practice this left-hand sword. Could this move change also evolve with his own practice?

The right-hand sword is still the same and does not change with the left-hand sword, but his right-hand fingers are obviously flexible, and the injury is developing in the expected direction.

What excited Zhang Xiaohua the most was the Beidou God Fist he had pieced together. The 100-single and eight moves did not change like the left-hand sword, but were just like what I learned before. Although it was different from the tutored or recorded in the boxing score, it was fixed. The feeling of flow was still practiced nine times in a row. The only change was that in perception, the flow seemed to have grown a little.

However, Zhang Xiaohua was still a little depressed. How good would this flow be left in her body? She could also use it. What would it be for this simple appearance and disappear in vain? Could it be for traveling in her body? I really can't figure it out.

After finishing his daily practice, Zhang Xiaohua returned to the house and found the one he had read in the morning. He continued to read with relish. Anyway, the books in his house had been read, and there was no place to find something to read for the time being. Now Zhang Xiaohua has developed a good reading habit. It is not possible not to read books on weekdays, so just treat these professional books as leisure time pastime.

So in Zhang Xiaohua's life, in addition to practicing three times in the morning, noon and evening, he also read this subject. Except for working in the medicine field, Zhang Xiaohua always holds a book.

Zhang Xiaohua not only reads simply, but often combines theory and practice according to the content in the book. However, He Tianshu and his friends manage few medicinal fields, and there are not many types. Moreover, there are many medicinal materials in the books that are not recorded in the books. As a last resort, Zhang Xiaohua often goes to Tian Chongxi and their friends to find real objects.

Tian Chongxi was nothing. After all, he was aware of the affairs and never got tired of asking questions. He admired Zhang Xiaohua's learning attitude very much. However, Ma Jing and others didn't think so. Maybe he was jealous of Zhang Xiaohua having a meal, or maybe he was jealous of Zhang Xiaohua's ability to read and write, and kept sarcastic words. Where could Zhang Xiaohua listen to it? Just think it was a dog barking.
