Ink panel: Hunting the sun and surveying the sky from the bow.

Chapter 12: Learning Jiugongjin and Refining Qi and Blood
Fortunately, Chen Dahe did not find any abnormality.
Seeing that Shen Fang was not in the house, Shen Qing guessed that she must have gone to her aunt's house.

After thinking about it, Shen Qing took two mountain goblins, pulled out a handful of feather arrows and walked out.

Considering that there was already meat in the house, he carefully locked the door before leaving.

Shen Qing walked on the snow to his uncle's house, knocked on the door and called out, "Uncle, aunt, are you home?"

After a while, there were rustling sounds coming from the door.

There was a squeak.

The old wooden door opened.

When Shen Xiaohu saw that it was Shen Qing, he turned around and shouted into the house: "Brother Qingzi is here."

When she heard that it was Shen Qing who came, her aunt looked a little surprised. She sat on the chair doing needlework without even raising her head.

"Brother." Shen Fang, who was helping her aunt with the housework, saw Shen Qing return safely, and her face was relieved as usual.

Shen Qing glanced around the room and asked, "Where's my uncle?"

Shen Xiaohu replied: "I have been taking Shanwa up the mountain for a while. I think we should be back soon."

Shen Qing hummed, put the two hares in his hands on the ground and said, "I shot a few mountain crickets in the mountains today and brought them to you, Auntie."

"Brother Qingzi, you'd better take it back. It's not easy for you and your elder sister. I have my father at home, so we still have food to eat." Shen Xiaohu hurriedly picked up the rabbit on the ground, stuffed it back into Shen Qing's hand and said.

Shen Qing declined, saying, "I made a lot this time, and I still have some at home. This isn't that expensive."

He was slightly stronger than Shen Xiaohu, so Shen Xiaohu couldn't refuse and had to give up.

"You still have some conscience." The aunt beside her snorted coldly.

"Mom." Shen Xiaohu called out with a somewhat complaining tone.

Aunt Wang rolled her eyes at him and said nothing more.

Shen Qing put the hare back in place, then took out some arrows from his armpit and handed them to his aunt, saying, "It just so happens that I found all the arrows I lost today. These are the arrows I borrowed a few days ago, and I just want to return them to you, uncle and aunt."

Aunt Wang lowered her head and bit off the needle and thread and said, "Put it on the table. I'll tell your uncle later."

"Okay." Shen Qing put the arrow on the table and said, "There's nothing to do now. I've been bothering you for so long. Come back with me, big sister."

Shen Qing was about to turn around and go back, but his aunt Wang stopped him: "Wait."

"What's the matter, aunt?"

Aunt Wang put a mended old jacket on Shen Qing and said, "It looks just right."

"Aunt, what is this?"

Aunt Wang said, "I see you've been wearing this gown for a long time, and it's too short in many places. I've altered one of your brothers' old clothes for you."

"This……"

"Stop wasting time and go back."

Aunt Wang immediately ordered them to leave.

After spending some time together, Shen Qing also knew his aunt's temper, so he stopped talking and took Shen Fang home.

On the way, Shen Fang complained in a low voice: "Qingzi, just one is enough. We don't have much food at home. When we have more money in the future, it won't be too late to give more to my aunt's family..."

Shen Qing did not respond. He walked to the house, opened the door and let Shen Fang in.

As soon as she entered the room, Shen Fang saw the wild roe deer piled in the room, and her muttering suddenly stopped.

Shen Fang's eyes were filled with disbelief: "Qingzi..."

"Lucky, I killed an extra silly roe deer." Shen Qing turned back to look at Shen Fang, and said with a smile: "Sister, do you know how to cook roe deer meat?" ...

Facts have proved that Shen Fang is not only good-looking, but also has good skills.

In her hands, after being smoked by wood fire, the roe deer meat becomes firm and elastic, and you can feel the toughness and chewiness of the meat fibers with every bite.

A slightly burnt aroma formed on the surface of the smoked meat. This burnt aroma combined with the tenderness of the meat, although a little primitive, made Shen Qing eat it with relish.

The brother and sister had never eaten so heartily before, and they ate the roasted wild roe deer meat with relish, finishing it all up like a cloud of leftovers.

Even so, there was still a lot of roe deer meat, and the brother and sister only ate a small portion of it.

The remaining ones will not rot in the winter, so Shen Qing plans to take half of them to the county town to sell them for some money.

After filling her stomach, Shen Fang went to do the housework very consciously, while Shen Qing, who had a rare free time, took out the "Nine Powers Brocade" martial arts book under daylight and examined it carefully.

This martial arts book is an introductory martial arts book, which only trains the blood and qi and lays the foundation for martial artists to practice martial arts.

The entire martial arts book involves nine major stances, and there is no fighting or killing method.

It is somewhat similar to the health-preserving martial arts like Eight Section Brocade in the previous life.

Taking into account the practitioners' ability to comprehend, the entire booklet is mostly presented in the form of picture albums, which are easy to understand and can be practiced according to the instructions.

However, Shen Qing also knew that the easier this kind of martial arts looked, the harder it was to learn.

There are often many details here that are difficult to notice and easy to overlook.

Often, whether you succeed in learning or not depends on these details.

After reading it once, Shen Qing had a general understanding of the practice method, so he began to practice the first four stances (Hunyuan stance, Maodun stance, Tuoying stance and Floating Cloud stance) according to the postures of the characters in the book.

He placed the blue book on the table, opened a page, then clenched his fists and stood up in the Hun Yuan Zhuang Gong as described in the book.

At the beginning, there was no discomfort, but after just a dozen breaths, Shen Qing felt a burst of soreness below the waist and knees, and the soreness became more and more obvious.

Shen Qing had a blank expression on his face and held on with gritted teeth.

After a while, the muscles all over his body trembled slightly with the rhythm of his breathing, as if an invisible force was flowing in his body.

As his breathing deepened, Shen Qing's body began to tremble slightly, and the blood under his skin began to churn.

Suddenly, I seemed to feel something.

Shen Qing's consciousness moved.

In the sight, a drop of ink spreads out, and ink characters emerge one by one
[Skill: Jiugong Brocade (beginner)]

[Progress: 0/100 points]

[Status: cannot be upgraded]

[Note: This is a skill to cultivate Qi and blood. Continuous practice can improve your progress. When your Qi and blood are perfect, you will be as strong as an ox.]

Looking at the ink characters that appeared in his sight, Shen Qing couldn't help but smile, and his heart finally settled down.

It seems that his ink-and-wash panel is not only capable of improving archery and hunting, but can also improve progress in martial arts.

Now that I can display the martial art of Jiugongjin in my sight, as long as I continue to practice it, I will gain permanent enlightenment and continue to improve my progress.

Given some time, he will be able to master the Nine Skills Brocade.

As soon as he thought of this, Shen Qing seemed to be filled with energy.

Even though his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, he seemed unaware of it and was completely absorbed in his cultivation.
