Chapter 2: Monthly Exam Assembly
The middle-aged man who rescued the baby Hao Qi from the battlefield was named Xu Duo. He was a martial arts master in Zhongcangzhou, the sixteen prefectures of Qinghai. Although his sect was not very famous, he was indeed one of the major sects of Cangzhou. In addition to the core disciples, there were tens of thousands of disciples inside and outside the disciples, and the network of relationships almost spread throughout Cangzhou.
Although Hao Qi is considered an idiot and a fool by everyone outside, he is one of the core disciples of the Shougui Sect. Of course, this also has the relationship between nostalgia and trust. After all, Hao Qi was raised by Xu Duo himself from a baby, and he is also a fool himself. No matter what, there will never be any betrayal. As for nostalgia, it is even more so. A cat and a dog will have feelings after being raised for a long time, let alone a person?
So although Hao Qi is a fool in everyone's eyes, he will definitely be present as a core disciple when the sect's monthly exam at the end of each month. In fact, not only the monthly exam or some affairs of the sect, but also all of them were taught to Hao Qi. Although no one except Hao Qi, there was no one expecting a fool to learn martial arts.
In fact, Hao Qi learned the martial arts of the Shou Gui Sect. He even carefully studied this set of martial arts, called Gui Shengshou. This is a set of martial arts that is completely different from almost most of the martial arts he knows about the Seven Seas World. In the martial arts common sense known to Hao Qi, all the martial arts in the Seven Seas World initially train the body, and then temper the body to the limit, and then shape the energy circulation system from the body, thus transforming from an ordinary person to a strong internal force realm, from ordinary life that relies on food to a half-energy and half-matter existence.
However, the martial arts of the Shougui Sect are different. In fact, not only the martial arts of the Shougui Sect, but Xu Duo is also a long-standing warrior. He has wiped out countless bandits and even the chaotic army. He has also collected a large number of martial arts from this era. These martial arts are all listed in the Secret Hall of the Shougui Sect. Core disciples like Hao Qi can watch them at will. During the past sixteen years, even though Hao Qi's body speed was scary, he has read dozens of martial arts books. These martial arts books are completely different from the martial arts known to Hao Qi, just like two different systems.
All martial arts in this era, including Turtle, have a characteristic, that is, they do not focus on physical exercises at all, and there are even some extreme martial arts that do not have the content of physical exercises. The martial arts in this era train the true meaning of martial arts. In the statement of Hao Qi in that era, they were trying to realize the gods from the beginning, and with the tempering and accumulation of the gods and the improvement of quality and quantity, when they are about to reach the limit of the first enlightenment of the gods, they can naturally become a strong person in the internal power realm. This is completely different from the Seven Seas Age where Hao Qi lived.
In the past ten years, although Hao Qi had no way of knowing clearly which era this was and where it was, he also had some speculations about the world he was in. This should be an ancient or ancient era. During the Seven Seas Age, he knew from some books on the Red Sea that humans were actually changing from generation to generation. In the ancient times, humans had no internal force genes. It was not until the great destruction of the ancient times that in order to deal with the great destruction that the ancient government carried out the so-called new human plan, artificially changing the human genes, so that humans could absorb the free energy of the heaven and earth, and thus became a new human with energy cycles in their bodies.
According to some discoveries in the archaeological process of the Red Sea, it is said that in the late ancient times, ancient times, and even early ancient times, the achievement rate of human internal strength was very high. It is said that in ancient times, it was even more said that the martial arts grand occasion was even more powerful in the social system of that era, and the unified government in that era was extremely powerful, and used the three underground layers as a breeding farm to produce infinite treasures of heaven and earth, but some discoveries in archaeology have led scholars of the Red Sea to believe that from the great destruction of the ancient times, the genes in human bodies have been evolving since ancient times, from ancient times, and then to the Seven Seas Age, it is estimated that humans in that era were very likely to become internal strength because their genes were still in the state of the ancient new human beings that had not been fully integrated.
Hao Qi didn't know if this guess was correct, but judging from the martial arts of this era, this possibility is likely to be true. Moreover, Hao Qi also found that these martial arts are actually quite crude. In addition to some unique views on Wushen, they are rough in terms of both using internal strength and fighting, which is completely equivalent to martial arts below the third level of the Seven Seas Age.
Hao Qi's current vision has long surpassed the so-called masters. Even in the Seven Seas Age, he was the peak of a generation of martial arts masters. Looking at the martial arts of this era with his eyes, you can find too many mistakes from these martial arts. Many places belong to the kind of planning and design that takes Hao Qi's evaluation. If Hao Qi must evaluate it, it is simply a martial art designed by a half-baked warrior, and there is no mature martial arts obtained after thousands of trials.
But even so, these martial arts can make people burst out internal energy. Although Hao Qi has only seen two or three internal energy realms in this era, their situations are basically the same. The body itself has not been tempered to its limit. On the contrary, their gods are only one step away from reaching the situation of enlightenment of the gods. This can also prove that the theory that the scholars of the Red Sea Age of the Seven Seas may be true. In ancient times and in ancient times, humans at that time were more likely to explode internal energy realms because the human genes in that era were different from those in the Seven Seas Age of the Seven Seas.
All of this belongs to Hao Qi's own guess. Although he also learned the martial arts of Turtle Shou taught by Xu Duo, he himself could not enter the path of internal energy and internal energy, because even this body had been transformed into a level human body by his ancient spirit. He felt very clear that as he gradually increased his age, his hair was getting smaller and smaller. By now, he had obvious signs of baldness at the age of sixteen. According to his estimate, when his body and consciousness were completely integrated, his hair was completely lost. This was really a tragedy...
Thinking of this, Hao Qi reached out and touched his hair. Of course, his movements looked ridiculous to others. The mentally retarded child slowly raised his hand, very slowly, and his expression was dull. He raised his hand over his head and touched his head. He touched the pitiful few strands of hair, showing a mentally retarded expression like sighing, and then put his hand down. This scene made the people around him tremble with their eyebrows.
"Wu Ming! If you move randomly, believe it or not, I will kick you out!" Xu Duo's daughter and Xu Wei, who are childhood sweethearts, suddenly shouted angrily.
Hao Qi showed a helpless expression. To be honest, if an ordinary person showed such an expression, others would naturally understand it. But if he slowed down this expression to a slow speed of ten times or even dozens of times, then this expression would look like a mentally retarded child making a face. Xu Wei's breath suddenly became much thicker, and blue veins rose on the back of his hand.
"snort."
A low hum made Xu Wei quiet suddenly. The core disciples next to him were all still in motion, as if they had no idea what was going on. This was obviously Xu Duo warning Xu Wei.
Xu Duo sat on the platform, behind him were the core disciples who rushed back from this monthly exam, and there were hundreds of inner disciples in the audience. The whole square was quiet, and only Xu Duo's martial arts sounded. He relied on his internal force to condense and transmit the sound on the square. Everyone could clearly hear his words. Outside the square, even the outer disciples guarding the gate could not hear a little voice, this hand was enough to show his internal force control. He was already infinitely close to the first time he realized the internal force realm.
"... The turtle's longevity is the previous word. The martial arts of this sect are inherited from your master. The artistic conception adopted is the artistic conception of the turtle's longevity."
"The turtle is calm and quiet, day after day, year after year, accumulates strength in deep waters and pools, and gradually grows into a giant. Even if you are old and long, you still have enough strength to achieve your goals and have accumulated ambitions to achieve your goals. This is the martial arts artistic conception of our school. By training your soul and achieving the combination of body and mind, you can understand the explosion of internal strength."
"The core application of Turtle Shou's martial arts is essentially saving. This is also the reason why I have always told you that you can tolerate it, don't use martial arts easily, and don't fight easily, because the characteristic of our martial arts is accumulation. Even if people who have not understood the explosive internal energy learn that Turtle Shou's health, and years of meditation and exercise can solidify a huge force in their body. Although this force is not blessed by internal energy, it is enough to make ordinary people beat ten in a short period of time. From this point of view, Turtle Shou's martial arts can be regarded as a strange science, and it is enough to rank among the top five in the current Qinghai martial arts rankings."
Xu Duo's voice resounded throughout the square, and then he explained in detail the practice method of Turtle Shou. Of course, Turtle Shou is the core exercise of the Shou Turtle Sect, and although the inner disciples can practice, they can only practice the first half of the level, that is, the level that ordinary people who are not in the internal force realm can practice. Then, how to temper and condense the divine thoughts, how to unite the divine thoughts with the body and mind, and how to burst out internal force, only the core disciples can know these things.
After a brief explanation, Xu Duo began to ask the top three people in the monthly exam again. This is also a benefit for all inner disciples. They have a chance to ask Xu Duo questions every time they take the first three in the monthly exam. They can even involve some questions about the second half of the Turtle Shou Fung. If an inner disciple is in the top three in the monthly exam for a year in a row, then he is qualified to apply for the second half of this exercise. Even if he succeeds in learning, Xu Duo will accept him as his core disciple.
Now the top three people are asking their own questions, most of which involve martial arts, martial arts, practice, etc. After asking these three questions, Xu Duo looked at the core disciples including Xu Wei and Hao Qi. Xu Wei did not look closely. When he saw Hao Qi, he sighed. When he saw the other core disciples, he said, "Do you have any questions to ask?"
Several core disciples asked their questions. These core disciples are not in the sect on weekdays. Such a large sect, thousands of people's food and drink depend on their busy schedule outside. The entire Shougui Sect has a large number of industries around the surrounding area, including land, shops in cities, and merchant troupes. As far as Hao Qi knows, there is also an eight-ship fleet that is a sect industry, and these industries are operated by core disciples plus a large number of external inner disciples and external disciples, so these core disciples do not have much time to receive Xu Duo's teachings.
After answering the questions of the core disciples, Xu Duo originally wanted to disband this monthly exam gathering. However, Xu Wei suddenly asked: "Master, I don't know what are the other skills in the top five, and what are their special things?"
Xu Duo was slightly stunned, but said, "Okay, let me tell you some things in the martial arts world. You can also brighten your skills when you walk in the martial arts world in the future... The first martial arts in Qinghai are recognized as the first martial arts in the whole of Qinghai. It is owned by a family. This is a hidden family. It does not recruit disciples, does not travel in the martial arts world, and does not protect the people. It is said that when this family is a unified government, the remnants of Qinghai's military personnel were later destroyed and destroyed. The military returning from outside established a new unified government, but they acted violently and lawlessly. After being overthrown, they went underground. The people of this family rebelled against the unified government of the military at that time. Although they were soldiers of various surnames, after they decided to establish a family, they all unified the surname Qing. Now this family is called the Qing family. This set of Cangqing magic skills is said to originate from the previous unified government period, and it is a set of methods that can directly point to the soul."
"The second and third ranks have little difference in power. They belong to the Chiyan Sect and the Hanfrost Sect respectively. After the martial arts are completed, they can activate the power of nature and evolve violent flames and extreme ice cold through their souls. These two sects are mortal enemies. They make a fight every ten years to determine the ranking of each other's sects. Therefore, the martial arts of the second and third sects have been changing, but no matter which one is, the power is very huge."
"The fourth is a cross-sea sect from the Black Sea. It is extremely mysterious and specializes in cultivating souls. I don't know very well about the specifics, but I think it is indeed much more powerful than our turtle's martial arts... Next is our core martial arts, although the turtle's longevity, can accumulate strength in normal times until it explodes at one time in wartime, with amazing power, and can even challenge it higher than the level. It is just the hard work accumulated in daily life and the powerlessness after the accumulation is exhausted, which makes us ranked fifth."
Looking at Xu Wei's expression that seemed to be ignorant and the expressions of the disciples around him, Xu Duo smiled complacently. After more than ten years, he worked hard to run a sect after becoming famous. For thirty years, his sect finally grew stronger...
But at this moment, a gloomy voice suddenly said, "Turtle Although Shou sounds so powerful... I wonder how long has the Master Xu been a turtle accumulated and can he be able to challenge the higher level?"
As the voice sounded, a gust of cold wind blew, and several translucent phantoms stood above the square.
At this moment, Hao Qi widened his eyes. He saw these phantoms of figures. The first thought in his head was...
(My grass! Ghost!!)
