Chapter 24: Lotus Roots, Danger!

The long breath in the chest circulated for a circle, gradually dissipating in the internal organs, bringing a faint warm and comfortable feeling.

"Hoo, Ape Fist is still suitable for me."

Liang Qu wiped the fine sweat from his forehead.

After so many days, he had finished learning all the refining methods, and the qi sense in his chest was about the thickness of half a chopstick, progressing extremely rapidly, and at the same time, he had a deeper understanding of the "law" of martial arts.

Many things, if you don't experience them yourself, it is difficult to find the way.

After practicing the three fist techniques for so long, Liang Qu had already summarized some roles of bones. Simply put, each set of exercises actually has one or more perfect body proportions, which he calls adaptability.

For example, his ape arms, wasp waist, and mantis legs are very suitable for the Ape Fist in the three fist techniques. Practicing it is like taking an exam with the answer, and every time it is a full score, so it is naturally fast to practice.

The other two, Tiger Fist and Crane Fist, are not so suitable. Every time he finishes practicing, he feels that it is only eighty points and sixty points. Over time, the gap will be very obvious.

Like Li Libo, his Ape Fist is about eighty-five points.

Chen Jiechang is suitable for Tiger Fist, but it is only about ninety points.

But the pile method in the exercises can be modified. As long as there is someone with sufficient level to guide, adjustments can be made to improve adaptability.

The so-called mountain does not see me, I go to see the mountain.

It is a pity that Cao Shixiong Hu Qi cannot do it, let alone Lu Shaohui. Even if he could, he might be too lazy to say it. In the entire Yang Family Martial Hall, it is said that only Master Yang can do it to improve some results. In the last five days of each month, the martial arts disciples also ask for these.

A good teacher is very important.

Of course, in addition to the visible paper score of body proportion adaptability, there is also a hidden score in the martial arts exam paper. Adding them all up is a person's total aptitude.

The most typical one is that your body proportion is wrong, but you are born with strong blood-qi, or your comprehension is superb, you modify the exercises yourself, and lead qi to refine the body. These cannot be seen by touching bones, or cannot be seen completely.

That can get twice the result with half the effort when practicing, and adding up can get a super high score of over one hundred!

This is also why Hu Qi said that body proportion is not important, it does not represent a person's total aptitude. Perhaps someone has extremely poor proportion, but practices faster than everyone else.

Liang Qu felt the diversity of people in his heart, and only by doubling his efforts can he create miracles.

It is a pity that after learning for three days, the one hundred-plus wen he earned last time was spent again. If he doesn't work, he will starve to death.

If it weren't for hearing Cao Shixiong Xiang say this morning that Master Yang would come to give lectures in the afternoon or evening, he would have been ready to go out by boat after finishing Crane Fist. Now he can only wait for Master Yang to come before leaving.

Really envy the rich brothers.

Liang Qu looked at the fifty-plus martial arts disciples on the other side. Only after entering the martial arts hall did he find that only a few of them paid seven taels, while the rest paid at least ten taels of silver, completely detached from production to learn martial arts, without having to go to work to earn money every few days, and the efficiency was several times higher.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Scabby Zhang for a long time."

"Hey, yes, I didn't see him when paying taxes a few days ago. Wouldn't he be a runaway?"

"Not necessarily, he goes everywhere to take advantage every day, and no one dares to provoke him, so he is afraid he can't pay taxes?"

On the side, Li Libo and Chen Jiechang were also sitting on the edge of the flower bed to rest, chatting, not knowing why they talked about Scabby Zhang.

Capturing the keyword, Liang Qu pricked up his ears.

Chen Jiechang said unhappily: "Why do you care about him? It's good not to see him, he is not a good person anyway."

"Also." Li Libo didn't think much, scanning the circle, "Eh eh eh, look, there are actually a few little girls over there, hiss, the leader is quite cool."

"Don't look around, maybe they have some big identity? Be careful."

"Just look at it..."

Liang Qu saw the topic was diverted and felt relieved,

and then began to practice Ape Fist again.

But after practicing less than halfway, the spiritual link in Liang Qu's mind suddenly began to jump wildly.

The fat catfish and Cannot-Move were sending him information frantically!

The treasure plant lotus root in the water was attacked!

And a big guy?

Liang Qu's face changed instantly.

Treasure plant lotus root, his first pot of gold.

Although only twenty-plus pieces can contribute Water-Marsh Essence, the whole lotus root field is tens of meters, and the remaining hundreds of lotus roots that cannot provide Water-Marsh Essence also have good therapeutic effects, which he regards as treasures, and usually lets Cannot-Move take good care of them.

The fat catfish also needs to stay on the side to take care of it when it has nothing to do.

Some small fish and shrimp came to harass, and were all killed and eaten by the two beasts.

What kind of guy is it that even a crocodile plus a six-bearded catfish can't deal with, and keeps sending him emergency information?

Thinking of this, Liang Qu couldn't stay, hurriedly said goodbye to Li Libo and Chen Jiechang, packed his things, and prepared to leave.

The two were very surprised and asked: "Why leave now? Maybe Master Yang is coming, don't you stay and let him point it out?"

Liang Qu hesitated for a while: "I have urgent matters now, I should be able to catch up after dealing with it?"

It is morning now, go back and come back, maybe you can catch up.

Li Libo and Chen Jiechang saw that Liang Qu seemed really anxious, so they didn't persuade him, only telling him to be careful on the road.

Looking at Liang Qu's back, Li Libo scratched his head: "Really strange, last time too."

"Last time?"

"Yes." Li Libo nodded, "Last time Ah Shui was also in the middle of learning from Master Hu and left in a hurry. I didn't see anyone coming to notify him of anything."

"What are you thinking about so much, maybe Ah Shui had already made an appointment."

"Also."

Fallen leaves fell, piled up layer by layer on the mud, turning into black-brown humus.

After leaving the martial arts hall, Liang Qu saved his strength and jogged all the way. The ten-plus miles from Pingyang Town to Yixing Market took less than half an hour.

After arriving at the pier, Liang Qu slowed down his breath, pretended to be fine after calming down, untied the rope and went out by boat. After seeing no one, he rowed quickly to the vicinity of the lotus root water area and knocked on the water surface.

A moment later, a Pig-Mother Dragon and a six-bearded catfish surfaced.

Liang Qu touched the heads of the two beasts, let them roll, looked around, and found that the two beasts were not injured, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Before, he had given orders to the two beasts, letting them observe whether they could deal with the ones stealing lotus roots. If they could deal with it, go up and deal with it. If not, retreat, don't fight hard.

Saving the land and losing the people, both people and land are lost; saving the people and losing the land, both people and land are saved.

Although lotus roots are precious, they are not as good as the two water beasts Liang Qu cultivated.

The two beasts that ate treasure fish underwent secondary development and became more and more powerful. Now Cannot-Move is over 2.2 meters long, and the fat catfish has reached 2.4 meters!

The whole body is several circles larger, and even the Water-Marsh Essence needed for evolution has decreased by more than four points each.

Growing up is naturally a good thing, and his subordinates are naturally the fiercer the better.

But Liang Qu is even more strange, what kind of guy is it that can make Cannot-Move and the fat catfish have to retreat together?

Just as he was thinking, the fat catfish in the water suddenly arched its body, put its head into the boat, opened its mouth, and spat out five lotus roots, which collided with the wooden board and made a muffled sound.

Liang Qu picked up a piece to check and was very surprised: "This is a lotus root with Water-Marsh Essence? Did you take it away before the monster came?"

The fat catfish and the Pig-Mother Dragon flicked their tails, splashing water on Liang Qu, but he was not angry, even a little moved.

Before, he left a few lotus roots containing Water-Marsh Essence for emergencies and let the two beasts take good care of them. He didn't expect the two beasts to be so smart, even knowing how to transfer major assets.

Promising, really didn't raise them in vain.

Liang Qu turned over and picked up the wooden spear. The muscles on the side of his face tightened involuntarily, revealing sharp lines, and he squinted his eyes.

"Very good, let's go down and see who dares to steal my lotus roots." ===== CHAPTER 25 =====
