Chapter 42

After chatting for a while, Liang Qu went back to the room to change his clothes and went to look for Hu Qi.

Hu Qi apologized to the few people he was teaching, and took Liang Qu to a quiet room.

There was a wooden cabinet and a low table in the quiet room. Hu Qi took out the key to open the cabinet, touched out a long incense, lit it and inserted it into the incense burner next to it. The room was soon filled with an indescribable fragrance.

Immediately after, Hu Qi took out several booklets from his arms. The top one was a human body diagram, which was very detailed, from internal organs to blood vessels to skin membranes.

For the ancient environment, this is very precious and scarce knowledge.

"This human body diagram booklet can be taken back by Liang Shidi for careful observation. The remaining few are medicinal prescriptions, which are the supporting medicinal prescriptions for the Three Fist Method.

Master Yang's method is not just the Three Fist Method, but the Three Fist Method is very easy to use for laying the foundation, so our disciples, unless there are special cases, usually practice the Three Fist Method before breaking the meat barrier.

Liang Shidi Liang, you are very compatible with Ape Fist. Next, you can practice based on this boxing method.

I know that you and Liang Shidi Li and Liang Shidi Chen are fellow villagers and have a good relationship, but Liang Shidi, remember, this medicinal prescription cannot be easily passed on.

You can grab medicine for them to eat. The back of the medicinal prescription has another version, which adds many useless, incorrect dosage medicinal materials, and the effect is also 80%, but you must not leak the medicinal prescription."

Liang Qu straightened his upper body and said: "Cao Shixiong Hu, I know."

"I see that Liang Shidi Liang is not a person who doesn't know the importance, just mention it."

Hu Qi packed up the diagrams, put them together on the low table, and continued.

"The key to breaking the skin barrier is to stimulate the fascia and skin of the whole body with blood and energy, that is, the energy in the chest, to achieve the effect of refining the skin. The so-called blood and energy is the energy that appears in the chest when you practice boxing. It is the essence condensed by the human body and the foundation of life.

After breaking the skin barrier, you can make the skin membrane of the whole body look no different from ordinary people, but it is actually tough like cowhide, and the defense is greatly increased. If you stimulate blood and energy, you can go to a higher level."

"Then how to stimulate the fascia and skin of the whole body with blood and energy?"

"This is not easy to say, and it is not easy to do. I will demonstrate it to you directly and you will understand. You start practicing Ape Fist first."

Liang Qu did as he was told.

About at the end of the fourth pile skill, when starting the fifth, Hu Qi stepped forward and pressed a palm on Liang Qu's chest.

Liang Qu felt a warm airflow soaking in from his chest, directly combining with the energy in his chest, wrapping the energy in his chest and flowing toward the limbs and bones, and finally turning into a hot current and disappearing when it reached the fascia and skin.

Gradually, Liang Qu's skin began to heat up. At first, it was fine, then it began to burn, and finally it was surprisingly hot!

The sweat vapor of the whole body was steaming like a steamer!

Hu Qi said in a deep voice: "Don't deflate, hot is a normal reaction, it is your blood and energy tempering the skin!"

Liang Qu almost wanted to scream in pain. After hearing this, he gritted his teeth and endured it.

He could feel his skin contracting and tightening with the beating of his heart, until a quarter of an hour later, the burning sensation gradually disappeared, and the skin relaxed again.

"Did you remember the feeling of guiding the energy?"

"Only remembered half."

"It's okay, let's do it again."

With the experience of the first time, Liang Qu was much calmer the second time.

It's just that it seems that because the energy in the chest was consumed in a short time and did not recover, the skin didn't feel much after doing it again, but Liang Qu remembered better how to diffuse the energy and integrate it into the skin.

He vaguely grasped the answer to why the blood and energy must be as thick as a little finger to break the barrier.

"You felt it, if the blood and energy don't reach a certain level, the effect of using it to break the barrier is minimal. Instead, it will consume blood and energy because of refining the skin, leading to no growth in blood and energy and a deficiency in the body.

In the past, Cao Shixiong Xu taught it a few times in the martial arts hall. Many people were unwilling to fail and continued to try after leaving the martial arts hall, resulting in practicing the body badly, so later, unless your blood and energy arrive, the martial arts hall generally will not teach you how to refine the skin.

You try again to see if you really remembered."

Liang Qu nodded. He closed his eyes, practiced Ape Fist, and after stimulating a trace of blood and energy again, according to the feeling transmitted by Hu Qi earlier, he dispersed the blood and energy in his body in an instant and slowly guided it to the fascia and skin.

Blood and energy dissolved and submerged, Liang Qu's skin was slightly hot, that is, completed a skin refining. He opened his eyes: "Thank you, Cao Shixiong Hu, I have already remembered."

"That's good. What I just lit is the concentration incense, which will make you more easily guide blood and energy. Without concentration incense, it may be difficult to guide."

"If the food is sufficient, Liang Shidi Liang should be able to break the barrier within two decades. At that time, you will be a real martial artist."

Twenty days, not long.

Liang Qu really wants to know the scene of himself truly becoming a martial artist.

"Liang Shidi, do you want to continue practicing here, or go back to practice? If you are ready to go back to practice, you can take the incense back."

"Third Cao Shixiong asked me to go to his house at night to see the blueprints. I will practice here. It is too far to go back and come back."

"Okay, but let's eat first. It's meal time."

"Okay."

It was nine o'clock in the morning when he came out of Yang Mansion. He bought some things and practiced martial arts for a while. It was time for a meal, especially after consuming a lot of blood and energy just now, Liang Qu was already empty in his stomach.

As a direct disciple, what they eat is different from ordinary apprentices.

In a separate small room, there was a large basin of sauce beef, a large basin of boiled mutton, a large basin of steamed vegetables on the square table, plus a sufficient amount of white rice, all the size of a washbasin, emitting steaming heat.

Liang Qu was shocked: "The three of us eat so much!?"

"What is this? When Liang Shidi Liang breaks the skin barrier in the future, you will know how much you can eat. Sit down quickly, don't be polite, we are all our own people."

Xiang Zhangsong lifted his hem and sat on the long bench. After dividing the bowls and chopsticks, he filled a bowl of rice and ate it fiercely, and Hu Qi did the same.

Liang Qu just picked up the bowl, and Xiang Zhangsong put a large piece of beef in his bowl.

"Eat! The beef stewed by Chef Liu is very rotten, very fragrant, and there is mutton, not at all muttony. Move your chopsticks more, I will only pick this once."

"Okay."

Hu Qi swallowed a piece of beef: "By the way, Liang Shidi, looking at you fighting with Lu Tingcai and the others last night, your fighting method is too poor. Obviously, your physical fitness is a cut above those seven people, but you suffered a lot of injuries."

Liang Qu put down his chopsticks: "I haven't learned the fighting method yet, and I rarely fight on weekdays. Master has said this."

"Don't put down the chopsticks, our own people don't care about this, talk while eating."

"Oh, okay."

"I know you haven't learned it, so I remind you not to just learn the refining method. Martial artists originally have the need to fight with people, although strength is great, but also pay attention to skills.

You learned Ape Fist well, and Ape Fist's fighting method pays attention to dragon shape, snake waist, fish scale step, the ground is like ice, and the rubbing step and ground attack technology in it are unique. If you could use it last night, fighting and avoiding, restraining them, you could completely solve the melee at a smaller cost."

"I remember."

"I will teach you the fighting method in a few days after you break the barrier. At that time, Lu Tingcai and his ilk, no matter how many people double, it is not a problem.

Don't be embarrassed, if you have something to say, if you have any questions, just ask. We senior brothers are all like this. I was brought out by Cao Shixiong Xu, and Liang Shidi Xiang was brought out by Cao Shixiong Cao. Now Master handed you over to me, it's all the same."

"Thank you, Cao Shixiong, I remember."

After speaking, there was a silence, leaving only the swallowing sound of three big men, and the collision sound of chopsticks and porcelain bowls.

Only a quarter of an hour.

The three large basins of dishes were actually wiped out by the three of them. Of course, Liang Qu only ate a fraction and was full.

It turns out that becoming a martial artist can also increase appetite. If I had such a big appetite when eating crabs, wouldn't the fusion degree be full?

Liang Qu thought.

In the afternoon, he continued to practice martial arts. After dinner in the evening, Liang Qu said goodbye to the two senior brothers and followed the address left by Third Cao Shixiong to find the house with an iron anvil at the door.

It is also a large mansion, but it looks completely different from Yang Mansion. It is also huge, but very rough.

Standing outside, he saw several huge chimneys in the house, emitting rolling thick smoke.

Liang Qu entered the house, and the heat wave hit his face.

Several big men were shirtless and blacksmithing. The huge iron furnace burned with rolling fire, and distorted airflow could be seen everywhere. He couldn't feel a trace of winter's cold at all. Inside and outside the house seemed to be two worlds.

He also found that the bottom of a furnace was not burning charcoal, but some unknown ore, the size of a heart, definitely not charcoal. The black stone was covered with orange-red patterns, like flowing magma.

The one using this furnace was Lu Gang. He saw Liang Qu, turned around, took out a stack of blueprints and waved: "Ninth Liang Shidi! Just right, come and see the style of your long spear."

Liang Qu was extremely concerned about his long spear. With a long spear, his underwater combat ability would definitely rise by a large margin, so he hurriedly stepped forward to check.

The blueprints were drawn with charcoal strips, unexpectedly clear and neat.

Each blueprint is one-to-one, with the size, shape, and estimated weight of the long spear next to it. There are more than ten sheets. Liang Qu looked at them one by one, and suddenly he was attracted by the blueprint of a long spear with exquisite patterns.

The tiger head that turned into a cloud tiger was wrapped around the gun neck, and the nine-inch gun front spit out from the tiger's mouth was like half a sharp sword.

The metal was wrapped to nearly two feet and five inches in front of the gun barrel, which was very good-looking.

"Cao Shixiong, is this okay?"

"Of course, why would I take it out if it doesn't work? Liang Shidi is a good picker. This tiger-head gun is considered the best-looking and easiest-to-use one among all the guns."

Lu Gang's speaking speed was not slow or fast, very steady, giving people a feeling of extreme reliability.

"Tiger tooth gun is more complicated, about two decades, then you come to see, if you feel it is okay, I will paint glue."

"Thank you, Cao Shixiong Lu."

Lu Gang shook his head: "All are senior brothers, don't be polite, you can walk around, I will go busy first."

Liang Qu was about to look around, but suddenly paused, and then proposed to say goodbye to Lu Gang.

Lu Gang didn't think much, thinking that his shop was too dirty and hot, and just told Liang Qu to pay attention to safety on the road.

Liang Qu apologized, turned and left the blacksmith shop and ran toward Yixing City.

Damn, Afei discovered treasure fish again!
