Chapter 26: Declaration of War from Shihu Village Early in the morning. Before dawn. The Yu family mansion became busy. There were more than a dozen servants, each with their own duties, including washing clothes, cooking, cleaning the yard, feeding horses, moving equipment, etc. All these tasks had to be completed before dawn. Five forty in the morning. It's time for the master to get up. The four pretty maids, Mei, Zhu, Lan and Ju, entered the main room on time, paid their respects to their master, first served him hot water and towels, helped him wash and change clothes, and then served him breakfast, the latest newspapers, etc. Today's breakfast includes: a bowl of medicinal tonic porridge, a bowl of blood swallow eight immortals soup, and two secret seven-treasure cakes. Seems unremarkable. In fact, it is carefully prepared.
More than twenty kinds of precious medicinal materials are used. Even the Seven Treasures Cake, which is used as a staple food, is actually made with aged mountain ginseng for replenishing qi and nourishing blood, selected poria for strengthening the spleen and calming the mind, premium yam for replenishing the spleen and nourishing the stomach, and lotus seeds for strengthening the kidneys and consolidating the essence. It can be said to be very luxurious! Yu Xiao noticed. The maids were a little abnormal. Each of them looked at themselves secretly with a slightly red face. “Is there anything different about me today?” "Don't dare!" The four maids lowered their heads quickly. Yu Xiao: "It's okay, tell me." Xiao Zhu mustered up the courage to speak out his true feelings: "We just think that the master is more handsome than usual, and his temperament seems to be more attractive than before..." Yu Xiao nodded with satisfaction. He is not being narcissistic. I didn't think the maid was complimenting me. There is an essential difference between cultivators and mortals! Even if his cultivation level is low and he is only at the Qi Refining stage, he is still different from ordinary mortals. After Yu Xiao finished his breakfast, he asked the maid to clean the room. Then he walked to the inner courtyard and saw that except for Master Liao who was teaching at Yiguan, all the other masters had already arrived. "Morning, Master!" The seven masters clasped their fists. "Well, let's start early practice!" Yu Xiao said: "Master Tang taught me the Flying Swallow Step a few days ago, and today I want to learn the Leaf Picking Skill!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Mr. Yu is too impatient. After practicing one martial art for only a few days, you want to learn something else. Tang Yang immediately tried to persuade him: "Master Yu has only practiced Feiyan Step for a few days, and he still needs more practice to consolidate his skills. It is not appropriate to practice other skills right away. After all, biting off more than you can chew is a big taboo in martial arts practice!" Yu Xiao didn't explain either. He mobilized all the blood and energy in his body, circulated it to his feet, and suddenly leaped more than three meters. Amidst everyone's puzzled gazes. Use your toes to gain some leverage on the branch. He jumped another two or three meters high. Standing on the eaves. "This……" Not only Tang Yang was dumbfounded. Wang Zhong, Xu Qingfeng, Bai Yajie, etc. Several martial arts masters who were guarding the courtyard were all stunned! The strength and physical reflexes of an eighth-grade warrior far exceed those of ordinary people, but it is absolutely impossible for him to have such nimble skills. Flying Swallow Step! It’s the Feiyan Step from Feiye Martial Arts School! Although I can't say that I have mastered it to a very high level, there is no doubt that I have already glimpsed the basics! "How can this be?" Tang Yang couldn't believe what he saw! Because Yu Xiao had only practiced Feiyan Kung Fu for three or four days in total, it was great that he could remember some tricks. How is it possible to reach this level in such a short time? Yu Xiao jumped down from the eaves. "How am I doing?" When I saw the shocked looks on the faces of several masters. He couldn't help but want to laugh. Although in the eyes of several masters, it was only three or four days, but in fact, for Yu Xiao, more than two months had passed. During this period of time, most of my energy was spent on Qi training. But I would also take some time every day to consolidate my blood, energy and martial arts. These days. I practiced the Feiyan step a lot. He also received help from his senior brother Wei Biao. This is quite an exquisite light skill in Dajing, but it can be taken to the main world and is just a basic body movement. Although Wei Biao was not good at Qinggong, he had practiced some body movements, so it was not difficult for him to give some guidance on Feiyanbu.
Also, the theoretical environment of martial arts in the two worlds is different. Many of the references and suggestions given by Senior Brother Wei were exactly the blind spots that Master Tang would not have thought of. With such complementary strengths and weaknesses, and after practicing for a month or so, it was not surprising that he had a glimpse of the tricks. While the others were still in a daze. Bai Yajie reacted the latest. She quickly clapped her hands and flattered him: "Wow, so impressive, Master Yu is indeed a martial arts prodigy that is rarely seen in a century!" Wang Zhong showed admiration on his face: "In terms of martial arts talent, I am far inferior to you!" Xu Qingfeng said with emotion: "With Master Yu's talent, I'm afraid that within fifteen years, Dajing Jianghu will have another top master. It's true that every generation has talented people!" "..." Although there is an element of flattery. But several masters were indeed shocked. Faced with this situation, Tang Yang was naturally convinced and immediately began to teach Yu Xiao the secret of leaf picking skills. Although Feiyanbu and Zhaiyegong are not considered top-level martial arts, they are very practical before reaching the first level, especially when combined with Chunleiquan, which is enough to greatly increase Yu Xiao's combat effectiveness. The morning passed quickly. Yu Xiao has initially mastered the basic formula of leaf picking. But it will take some time to fully understand it. It doesn't matter. There is plenty of time. He then performed the Thirty-Six Forms several more times. Yu Xiao could clearly feel that his blood and energy had improved, and he felt that his training efficiency had increased by at least four or five times compared to before! After successfully refining Qi. It's just different. At this rate, it would take less than a month to reach the seventh rank! Martial arts training is completed. Today is almost over. Just go out and stroll around in the remaining time. Yu Xiao has no shortage of time, so there is no need to be tense all the time. He should always leave some time to enjoy life and run his career. This way he can relax in moderation and be more beneficial to his body and mind. How do you spend your time today? Let’s go to the charity house to see the children first. Then we went to the militia's base to express our condolences to the militiamen who were working hard in training! until now. The militia has recruited nearly four hundred people. All of them are carefully selected militiamen from all over the country, and they meet at least two basic conditions.
First of all, be young enough, no more than thirty-five years old. Secondly, he has no criminal record and his character and reputation should not be a big problem, so as to prevent future impact on the reputation of the militia. In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the militia, Yu Xiao not only purchased sophisticated equipment, but also specially invited instructors from the provincial military academy, and they have been training hard during this period. I believe that we will soon be able to form combat effectiveness. however. at this time. Yu Ruqian ran in with a panicked look on his face: "Brother Xiao, this is bad, something big has happened!" "what happened?" Yu Ruqian: "The temple... the temple fair was attacked. It was done by the Shihuzhai bandits!" "what?" Everyone at the scene was shocked when they heard this. Wang Zhong: "How dare these gangsters be so rampant?!" Temple fairs are a type of gathering. The gatherings are usually spontaneously organized private business gatherings by villagers from all over the village, and are held according to a certain cycle, such as "the first, fourth, sixth, and ninth day of every month". The frequency is higher. To meet transaction needs. Temple fairs can be seen as a supplement to gatherings. However, it is usually only held during major festivals such as the Spring Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival. It not only has the commercial function of a gathering, but also comes with functions such as worshiping gods and ancestors, praying for blessings, as well as cultural entertainment. Temple fairs in some places can even attract tourists and believers who come from far away, which shows that it is a very important cultural activity. Local governments also attach great importance to it and will send special personnel to maintain order. did not expect. The bandits from Shihuzhai. They actually attacked the temple fair. Yu Xiao then asked: "What is the loss situation?" Yu Ruqian said quickly: "The villagers had a lot of money and food robbed, and nearly fifty people were taken hostage, from all towns and villages, and moreover..." Yu Xiao: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't be so hesitant." Yu Ruqian said: "The leader of Shihu Village, Guo Shanhu, left a letter. This letter is specially written to you, Brother Xiao!" Done. He handed over a letter he had just copied.
After reading it, Yu Xiao's eyes turned cold: "Guo Shanhu from Shihuzhai is a great guy. He is challenging me!" (PS: Please vote!) (End of this chapter)
