Chapter 9: Give You a Stand

Since the night I pierced my scapula,
The heavenly book in Xu Zhiqiu's inner vision revealed a second method.

Blowing Air

The term "blow air" originally refers to Bajiquan's unique method of exhaling and making sounds.

By uttering the two words "heng" and "ha", the internal organs can be shaken, so that the internal qi can penetrate downward and shock all living things.

The blowing of air here is similar to the ability of the two generals in "The Investiture of the Gods": Chen Qi and Zheng Lun.

——When the two yellow and white Qis of Heng and Ha come out, the souls of those who see them will dissipate.

If this technique is used well, just uttering the word "hum" can break stones and split monuments.

Saying "Ha" can shock living creatures.
If you perform this skill at close range, you can also temporarily blast the enemy's soul out of the body.

Protecting yourself and your life is no problem.

………………

"We have known each other for such a long time, but I still don't know your name..."

As usual, Qu Niang performed medicinal baths and acupuncture on him, and four days had passed.

Thanks to the help of the medicine, Xu Zhiqiu recovered quickly and the wound has scabbed over.

Moreover, the yang energy in the body becomes more abundant, and the qi and blood become more vigorous.

This young and flawless body has almost reached the state of extreme yang.

This is exactly what they expected.

When the pigs are fattened, it's almost time to slaughter them.

Early this morning, Yuning'er came to inform me.

Three days later, it was three quarters past midnight.

With the help of the extremely yin time and the extremely yin earth energy, Xu Zhiqiu's extremely yang cauldron can be transformed into a precious medicine.

It is said that taking this "medicine" can theoretically increase Fairy Sanmiao's cultivation by sixty years.

"You and I just met by chance, so what does it matter if I know your name?"

There was a circle of copper nails on the edge of the bathtub, and Xu Zhiqiu used them to polish a bronze mirror.

The bronze mirror is large in size but very light and thin.
And it has been worn thinner, as if it could be bent by hand.

He had a hard time grinding due to the limitations of his shoulder blades.

"Sir, you are wrong. Now that I know your name and hometown, if you have any last words or a message, I can do it for you."

Qu Niang's tone was very serious.

Although she tried hard to act as usual these days, she still showed some heaviness.

"Without roots, how can there be any last words?"

Xu Zhiqiu chuckled, did not accept her kindness, and continued to polish the bronze mirror in his hand.

Suddenly, there was some hesitation:
"Well, I do have something to say to you..."

"Leave it to me?"

Qu Niang was a little surprised and her beautiful eyes opened slightly.

She had been serving him for so long, but this was the first time Xu Zhiqiu took the initiative to say something to her.

"What do you have to teach me, sir?"

"How can I teach anyone? I am just telling you something from my heart... I am glad you can listen to me, but if you can't... just ignore it."

Xu Zhiqiu's attitude towards her was unusually gentle, perhaps because he had gotten to know Qu Niang's true character over the past few days.

Qu Niang listened quietly, and Xu Zhiqiu slowly blurted out:

"It's not easy to be a human being. Don't waste the rest of your life here. You are not the same kind of person as them."

He turned his head and looked directly at Qu Niang, saying in an earnest tone:
"Find a chance to leave here, find a safe place to live, and live peacefully. Live uprightly like an ordinary person..."

………………

The birthday of the head of He Huan sect is approaching.
The sect was filled with a lively atmosphere, with red and colorful decorations everywhere, creating a very festive atmosphere.

Even the lowest-ranking maids in the sect began to dress up more often, either by putting on expensive rouge or by taking out the colorful clothes that they usually didn't want to wear.

In front of the dressing table,

Apply clean water to your face, remove the makeup, and reveal the fine wrinkles at the corners of your eyes.

Few people know that the so-called "Qu Niang" is just a pseudonym.

She was born into a family of officials and lived a wealthy and carefree life in her childhood.

When he was twelve years old, a war struck and destroyed his wealthy family.

At this point, all the sons of nobles were reduced to pariahs. After years of wandering around, surviving in rags, their relatives around them became fewer and fewer.

Finally, the family was so hungry that they could not survive.

In order to have enough food to eat, her parents sold her to a wealthy family as a slave in exchange for just a few bags of rice.

From then on, he broke off all ties with his biological parents and never heard from them again.

Because he was quite handsome when he was young, he inevitably attracted bees and butterflies.

But before a year or so had passed, her mistress became jealous and sent her evil servants to defile her body, and then sold her to a brothel at a low price.

She once prayed to God for advice: I am always trying to do good and never have the intention to harm anyone, so why am I so unlucky?
The fortune teller told her righteously: A brothel girl like her has a humble fate, it is just fate.

She didn't believe it, but she couldn't refute it.

When she was sixteen, she gave birth to a son, but it was unknown which playboy's son he was.

As soon as she was born, she was snatched away by the brothel owner and drowned in the moat...

She cried for several days, and just like before, she accepted it submissively.

Later, by chance, I entered Hehuan...

Although Hehuan is a demon sect, it might as well provide a place for an ant like her to stay.

Provide her with a full meal and a good night's sleep.

Of course, apart from the dignity of being human.

Just like the life before her,

Perhaps she made a mistake that day and was whipped to death, and that was her end.

She was undoubtedly clear about what evil things Hehuan had done.

After all, he comes from a noble family and is well-educated.

Unlike other maids here who just want to survive, even if they are muddleheaded and become accomplices to evildoers,

She is one of the few people who dares to "come out of the water to breathe" and think about right and wrong.

Life is essentially an experience.
Good or bad, miserable or happy, it's all like this.

But given her aptitude, this is all she could do.

Looking back on my life, I have only gone with the flow and passively accepted things.

A weak woman has no power to change at all.

Precisely because of her "knowledge but lack of understanding", she lives a life with more distress than others.

……

She dressed in front of the mirror, drawing her eyebrows and applying her lipstick, her movements were meticulous.

But in my heart, ripples were stirring.

Thinking about what Xu Zhiqiu said to her——

"Leaving..."

Although Hehuan is a demonic sect, it does not have the rule of allowing entry but not exit.

Besides, she was just a low-level maid, and one more or one less would not matter much.

but,

"Where can I go after I leave?"

Do people with humble fates deserve a legitimate place to stay?
Are you worthy of living an upright life?
She pulled out a dusty box from the bottom of the dressing table.

Opening the box, there was a deep blue pill inside.

This is the Yin Dan.
If a woman eats this, she will die from excessive yin.

It is said that not only can one die without pain, but one can also restore the deceased's most beautiful appearance in life.

Quite romantic.

She obtained this elixir by chance and kept it for many years.

I will just wait until the day when I can no longer stand this turbid world and give up.

I took it out at this time, but it was not because I wanted to eat it.

Gein,

This pill, when taken by men, can reverse the meridians and transform yang into yin...

There was no one around at this time, so she muttered to herself to the pill:
"I know you would rather die than help them, so I will give you a 'Standing Tall'."
