If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 37: The Frustrated Tiger Minister

"What, there's a ghost lying on my back?"

Guan Zhong, with a dull and exhausted look on his face, jumped up from the ground like a frightened frog, and kept turning his head to look and patting his back.

He was still shouting, "I've already burned so many gold ingots for you, why don't you go pick up the money? What are you looking for me for?"

His stupid way of spinning in circles amused Xiao Yu. She laughed and said, "When the ghosts see you burning gold ingots, they know that you are the endless gold and silver mountain. The smart ghosts naturally want to cling to you."

"Miss Yu, stop joking. There really is a ghost behind me. Is it teasing me?"

Guan Zhong had a sad face, but there was expectation in his eyes, expecting Xiaoyu to be joking.

"There really is a ghost behind you, but I can't see it clearly. I can only see a dark shadow."

Xiaoyu herself felt a little strange. She was not afraid at all when she saw the ghosts.

Could it be that after seeing the old ghost, he no longer has any feelings for the little ghost?

Saint Zhang is an old ghost, but he looks more amiable than a living person.

"Yu'er, you shouldn't have been able to see those ghost shadows before, right?" Hu Chen walked out and said.

"Before, I just felt a gust of cold wind in the yard." Xiaoyu said.

Hu Chen looked at Guan Zhong, and the Immortal Eye activated. A three-meter golden light was like lighting up a one-thousand-watt incandescent lamp in the yard.

"Buzz buzz buzz~~~" The golden light swept everywhere, and ghosts fled in panic wherever it passed.

"Well, let alone the wandering ghosts attracted by the night sacrifice, there is no shadowy ghost in the entire Hengsha Pass now."

Guan Zhong let out a long sigh, and his whole body relaxed. "Master, you have extraordinary powers. I feel much more relaxed and my mind is clearer now. It seems that I was indeed targeted by an evil creature just now."

Hu Chen turned to Xiao Yu and said thoughtfully, "Asking the Immortal to transmit the truth may have slightly hurt your soul. When your spirit is weak, evil will invade you, so you can vaguely sense evil things.

Don't be afraid, they can't hurt you.

Well, the less you fear them, the less they can do to you."

Then he said to Guan Zhong, "Starting tomorrow, prepare an extra bowl of soul-warming soup for the young lady twice a day, morning and night."

Xiaoyu truly felt the harm of an incomplete soul.

In addition to being mentally weak and easily seeing unclean things, it also became difficult for her to rest.

I lay down on the bed, feeling very tired but unable to fall asleep.

Unable to fall asleep, feeling even more exhausted, having a burning sensation in the heart, feeling even more uncomfortable, and unable to sleep.

She almost couldn't help herself and ran to Dongyuan to find Hu Chen to ask for the Shadow God Map.

Zhang Huasheng is not a real immortal, but he has the "immortal painting skills" to give souls to the characters in his paintings.

It was equivalent to adding an extra soul to Xiaoyu, instead of extracting the spirit from her soul and integrating it into the Shadow God Diagram.

Extracting spirit from the soul and integrating it into the Shadow God Picture means that 100 souls are divided into 99 and 1, with 99 going to the human and 1 going to the person in the painting. Enlightening immortals means increasing the total number of souls to 101, with the 100 remaining unchanged and the extra 1 going to the person in the painting.

Both methods make the soul incomplete.

If you want to return to normal, you need a long period of rest and adjustment.

If you carry the Shadow God Map with you, the symptoms of mental weakness can be greatly alleviated.

Because Zhang Huasheng enlightened the "painting spirit", Xiaoyu can also absorb spirit from the Shadow God Picture and strengthen his soul.

This is part of the benefit of genuine Qianxian Fax.

A genuine fax to summon immortals, with negligible side effects, and it can also calm the mind and strengthen the soul.

"The enlightenment of the immortal spirit seems to be somewhat similar to the fierce tiger spirit in "Tiger Soul Seven Kills"!"

Xiao Yu had trouble falling asleep, so he sank his consciousness into the Purple Palace and continued to study the secret of "Tiger Soul Seven Kills".

"To enlighten a fairy is to give a dead object spirituality out of thin air. The fierce tiger spirit is also to imitate the fierce tiger and create a fierce tiger spirit.

It’s just that the will of the fierce tiger god is his own, and he needs to separate a part of his soul to imitate the true fierce tiger god.

But in essence both are creating another soul.

Is it true that there are three thousand great ways, but all the paths lead to the same destination?"

Unconsciously, Xiaoyu had been completely immersed in the study of the fierce tiger's divine will, and then fell asleep in a daze.

The next morning.

"Xia Zhi, tell the kitchen that one bowl of warming spirit soup is not enough, at least two jars are needed."

When Xiaoyu woke up in the morning, he was not as energetic as before, but still pretty good.

But when she started to eat breakfast, when she drank the amber paste - the soul-warming soup, her eyes lit up and her heart started pounding.

After drinking the soul-warming soup, she was not sure about its therapeutic effect on her incomplete soul, but she immediately found that her Zifu, which had been running intensively last night and was now slightly weak, was like a long-awaited rain after a long drought or an electric car plugged into a charging station.

what does this mean?
Zifu is like a human computer that deduces Taoism, consuming her brain and physical strength. Physical strength is easy to recover by drinking a bowl of bone-strengthening soup, and the effect is immediate, but the mind and soul can only be restored by rest.

Now I am better. The Bone Strengthening Soup replenishes my essence, and the Spirit Warming Soup replenishes my spirit. My Zifu can now function for a long time.

"Miss, two jars of soul-warming soup, can you really drink it? You also have two jars of bone-strengthening soup!" The maid Xia Zhi looked at her as if she was looking at a pig monster.

Her Miss Yu is not a "medicine person" who takes medicine as food.

Miss Yu took a lot of medicine, but it never delayed her meals. She was very particular about her meals, combining meat and vegetables, liquid and dry food, and having fruits and desserts after meals.

When eating fruit, people require it to be colorful and wish they could have all seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, blue and violet.

The master is not as versatile as she is.

"Xia Zhi, let me give you a suggestion. Don't worry about whether I can drink it before I have a nosebleed." Xiao Yu picked up the bowl and drank the soul-warming soup in one breath.

"Zhang Lai has a nosebleed." Yongxue said.

"Zhang Lai? What happened to him?"

Yongxue looked at her strangely and said, "The young lady said that one must be brave and diligent in practicing martial arts, so she drank two jars of bone-strengthening soup a day. When he heard about this, he gritted his teeth and shouted, 'I, Zhang Lai, am not inferior to others.' Then he took up the bone-strengthening soup and gulped down two large bowls. His face turned red like a cooked shrimp, and his nose bled. He fainted and has not recovered yet."

"Miss, you are really amazing." She gave a compliment at the end.

"The young lady is indeed amazing." Xia Zhi nodded in agreement.

They were not praising Miss Yu's martial arts.

She did practice martial arts, and they had all seen her somersaults, tiger jumps, and pulling her fists and feet.

To be honest, they are worthy of being called barbarians.

But they really admire Miss Yu's ability to eat.

"Haha, I have something even more powerful."

Xiaoyu put down her bowl and chopsticks, rinsed her mouth, and then strode out of the yard.

When Hu Chen was found, he was practicing martial arts.

"Yu'er, your father will now demonstrate the sword technique of Tiger Soul Seven Kills for you."

Seeing Xiaoyu coming, Hu Chen didn't waste any time and immediately fulfilled his promise from last night and demonstrated the forty-nine moves of the Tiger Soul Sword Technique in sequence.

At first, Xiaoyu could still see Hu Chen's movements clearly. Each move was extremely fierce, like a tiger coming down the mountain to pounce on its prey.

Hu Chen's movements became faster and faster, and gradually only his shadow could be seen.

Then gradually, Hu Chen was wrapped up in the snow-like sword light, and Xiao Yu could no longer see him. There was only a ball of snow on the ground, rolling around in the yard, floating up and down, and flying around.
Xiaoyu's lips turned pale and her eyes opened wide, trying desperately to record Hu Chen's movements, but she was powerless.

——It’s just a move, the simplest element among the mind, spirit, intention, qi and body. How could it be more difficult than the heart formula?
心诀
Xiao Yu had a flash of inspiration, closed his eyes, and entered the state of the fierce tiger's spirit.

“Roar, roar, roar~~~”

The whistling of swords that surrounded Hu Chen and tore through the air turned into the roars of tigers.

Gradually, the tiger's roar became regular and rhythmic.

She can easily distinguish and keep up with the rhythm, and even seems to be at ease.

So Xiaoyu opened her eyes again, still unable to see every move of Hu Chen, but a smile of enlightenment and relief appeared on her face.

Why do we have to see his every move?

What difference does it make whether you watch or not when those feints don't hit your vital points?
She couldn't see his every sword move, but she saw his sword momentum very clearly!
In her eyes, Hu Chen's image changed again.

It changed from a snowball of knife light into a tiger leaping back and forth.

No matter how the tiger moves, the core of its moves is always at three points: tail, mouth, and claws.

Hu Chen's countless sword moves were ultimately just a combination of the seven killing methods that a ferocious tiger can use with its tail, sharp teeth and claws.

The secret of the Seven Killings is the soul of the seven methods of killing.

Xiao Yu has already grasped the essence of the moves. When she watches Hu Chen practicing the swordsmanship, she still cannot see the movements clearly, but she does not need to see the movements at all.

He used numerous moves to create a momentum: a tiger biting, a tiger waving its claws, or a tiger swiping its tail.
Just like ordinary people cannot see the operation of the countless mechanical and electronic components inside the "Gundam robot", but can clearly understand the movements of the Gundam robot itself.

Tiger Chen's action moves are the mechanical movements of countless parts inside the "Tiger Gundam"; the "sword force" of Tiger Chen's moves that actually acts on the enemy is the punching and kicking movements of the "Tiger Gundam".

Ordinary people are just one of the countless parts in the "Tiger Gundam" and can only see the operation of the parts in front of them.

Xiaoyu has already escaped from the "flesh" (moves) level, and his soul has been sublimated to a higher perspective, directly ignoring the appearance and seeing the essence.

"Yu'er, how do you feel? What do you realize? What did you see?"

About an incense stick later, Hu Chen put away his knife, and moved extremely fast, then stopped instantly without moving, without even taking a breath except for a few drops of sweat on his forehead.

Xiaoyu admires his physical fitness.
Maybe it's the effect of the breathing method?

She looked thoughtful as she watched his chest rise and fall rhythmically.

"Godfather's swordsmanship is superb. Yu'er can see it with his heart. His eyes and hands are thousands of miles behind."

"The heart can see, but the eyes and hands are thousands of miles behind"

Hu Chen lowered his head and chewed for a while, and a light flashed in his mind: she could completely see through his sword moves and sword intentions.

Her realm is even higher than he thought!

"What a 'seeing heart'! Yu'er, you are truly a martial arts genius that is unseen in the world." Hu Chen's expression was very complicated, "Although you haven't learned the training method and breathing method yet, you have already mastered the essence of Tiger Soul Seven Kills.

The most difficult level in practicing Tiger Soul Seven Kills has been broken through by you.

From the perspective of 'spirit' and 'intention' alone, you are already a master. But you just came into contact with "Tiger Soul Seven Kills" yesterday.

Oh, this is really"

——What a talent that makes others despair!
Hu Chen had the urge to throw the precious sword in his hand into the toilet, never practice with the sword again, or even close his eyes when he saw the sword.

"Godfather, you are too kind. Yu'er doesn't even know the training and breathing methods, how can he become a master? I haven't even started yet, I need to continue learning from you." Xiaoyu said seriously.

Hu Chen sighed, “My father has been practicing Tiger Soul Seven Kills for forty years. Before the age of thirty, I could only see the moves and only pursued sharp moves and swift movements.

At the age of thirty-one, after taking a Bodhi seed, my father entered a state of enlightenment, and finally saw for the first time the scene you see today - countless moves were forgotten as soon as they were seen, and only a ferocious tiger roaring to the sky was seen.

This is the first move of the Seven Killing Techniques, the Tiger Roaring Blade.

Now I am forty-three years old. During this period, I have consumed countless rare treasures and finally raised the realm of Tiger Soul Seven Kills to the fifth level, which means I have comprehended the five mysteries.

Tiger Roaring Sword, Sky-tearing Sword, Tiger-biting Sword, Tiger Tail Sword, Ghost-slaying Sword.

The sixth level God-Splitting Sword and the seventh level Immortal-Proud Sword are still not within reach.

And you"

He looked at her steadily, "Could it be that you have mastered all seven mysteries and have reached the Great Perfection of Divine Will?"
