Huangxiu

Chapter 5 Beginning Training
Zou Fang was wearing a blue robe and holding a white jade whisk, standing motionless at the door of the study.

In the study, Chu Zhiyuan sat lazily behind the desk, looking at Feng Xi who was slightly bent over, and saw the bitter smile on his face.

You know something went wrong without asking.

"Didn't chase him?"

Chu Zhiyuan took a sip of tea and asked slowly.

"My Lord, I am incompetent and let them escape."

"Are those two guys so powerful?"

There is a gap in realm between Xiantian and Grandmaster, and they were in a position to suppress him, yet they were able to escape. This shows how powerful these two people are.

"His disguise skills were superb. He changed his appearance while slipping into the crowd. His aura also changed at the same time, and he disappeared without a trace in an instant."

Chu Zhiyuan took another sip of tea, thoughtfully.

This is a special and extraordinary skill.

In a world where martial arts are so prosperous, a secret anti-tracking technique is not impossible, but it is definitely rare.

The identities of these two people are becoming more and more unusual.

He thought for a moment and asked again: "Did they find you?"

"I guess the slave girl hasn't been found."

"Is he from the imperial court?"

"..."

"Both of them are from the imperial court?"

Chu Zhiyuan frowned and stared at him.

Feng Xi quickly replied: "The other one should not be a master from Zhenwu Division."

There are two sources of masters in Zhenwu Division. One is the masters in the army, who are passed down in the army, and the other is the masters from the four major sects.

Feng Xi could conclude that one of them was a master of Zhenwu Division, and the other was not.

"Zhenwu Division..."

Chu Zhiyuan stood up and paced in front of the desk with his hands behind his back.

The trend of martial arts practice is prevalent in the world today. There are many sects, including four major sects, eight major schools, and thirty-six schools, as well as numerous small sects and schools. It is very lively.

But in terms of strength, the imperial court is the strongest.

The imperial court set up the Zhenwu Division to specifically deal with crimes committed by martial arts masters.

The Zhenwu Division was separated from the imperial bureaucracy and was under the direct command of the emperor, with an independent status.

It should be the emperor's order that the masters of Zhenwu Division monitor me. I don't know their intention but it should be safe.

But the other one is not from Zhenwusi, so we have to be careful.

"My Lord, the person who is most skilled in tracking and tracing in our palace is Liang Guanjie. How about letting him go with me tomorrow?"

Chu Zhiyuan raised his voice and said, "Zou Fang, let Liang Guanjie come over."

"Yes."

Zou Fang quickly brought in a fat and strong middle-aged man.

The fat and strong middle-aged man was wearing a brocade robe and had a smile on his face like Maitreya Buddha. He did not look like a martial arts master but rather like a wealthy man.

He entered the study, clasped his fists and bowed with a smile.

Chu Zhiyuan sat back at the desk and said, "Lao Liang, go follow the sons of your tenth and thirteenth uncles tomorrow to see if there are any people following him... Be careful and don't get caught."

He suddenly thought of one thing: were these people only following him, or were they also following other princes? If they were following others, there was no need to be too nervous. But if they were only following him, he would have to be extremely careful, and even have to take the initiative to attack.

This is what is more important.

Compared to Feng Xi's Grandmaster level, Liang Guanjie is only at the Innate level, so of course he would choose Feng Xi to be by his side.

"Don't worry, Prince. It's a small matter." Liang Guanjie patted his chest and grinned.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Feng Xi: "Are there any tracking experts in the mansion?"

Feng Xi hesitated.

Chu Zhiyuan knew that was all, so he turned and looked at Liang Guanjie.

Liang Guanjie scratched the back of his head and shook his head: "Sir, there were originally two in our house, but they left the house five years ago and returned to their hometown to become rich men."

"Then find some help from your fellow soldiers."

Liang Guanjie was once an elite member of the Yingyang Battalion. An elite must have elite friends, and he had many powerful comrades in Beijing.

"This..." Liang Guanjie looked embarrassed.

Chu Zhiyuan snorted, "Is it because we are not close enough or because we don't have enough face?"

Liang Guanjie scratched his head and chuckled, "There are three old buddies who are all working in the City Guard Office. They have responsibilities to fulfill, so it's not good to trouble them."

"What's your character?"

"They are all straightforward people, not good at flattery, otherwise they wouldn't be in the state they are in now."

"Ask them for help and tell them that we have a vacancy in the palace guards."

He was deeply aware of the shortage of talent in the government.

People who are good at tracking may seem useless outside the military, but they can actually be very effective.

Intelligence is crucial at all times.

Although the Prince Qing's Palace is in decline, it depends on who you compare it with. The salary of the palace guards is at least three times that of the city guards. What's more, compared to the busy and tedious work of the city guards, the palace guards are much more idle, have less to worry about, and have more time and energy to practice. It can be said to be a top-notch job.

If the Prince Qing's Palace was still in its original closed state, it would be tantamount to being in prison. A quarter of the palace guards have left in the past thirty years.

Now that the Qing Prince's Palace has been unsealed, even though it is in decline, it is still the prince's palace, and there will definitely be people vying to become palace guards.

Liang Guanjie's eyes lit up immediately, and he patted his chest vigorously: "Hey, Prince, leave it to me!"

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Feng Xi and said, "Manager Feng, let the three of them help you find out where that guy is!"

"Yes." Feng Xi nodded solemnly.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Old Liang, explain the situation of those three people clearly to Manager Feng, and don't let anything go wrong. This matter is very important." "Don't worry, Your Highness!" Liang Guanjie patted his chest again.

Chu Zhiyuan picked up the white jade teacup.

Liang Guanjie bowed and said goodbye, then walked out.

Feng Xi stayed under Chu Zhiyuan's gaze.

Chu Zhiyuan put down the white jade cup and looked at Feng Xi, revealing his doubts.

Feng Xi said knowingly: "Old Liang likes to talk big, but he is still very steady in his actions."

Not everyone can enter the Yingyang Camp. It is for the elite among the elite in the army. Otherwise, even if you are discharged from the army, you cannot enter the palace.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "Find out the details of Lao Liang's three friends."

If you really want to be taken into the palace, you need to have a clean background and no hidden dangers.

"I understand." Feng Xi nodded solemnly.

People's hearts are fickle. They are Lao Liang's comrades, but they may have other intentions. We still need to investigate.

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand.

Feng Xi bowed and walked out.

Chu Zhiyuan came to the yard.

There are bamboo forests at the foot of the wall. When the breeze blows, the bamboo forests rustle. The name Tingtaoyuan comes from this.

There are several strings of lanterns in the courtyard, lighting up the room brightly.

The green bamboo under the light casts sparse shadows.

The night sky is dotted with stars, and the bright moon is hidden within a few dark clouds, illuminating the sparse areas of the clouds like layers of silver scales.

He stared at it for a long while.

Is this bright moon the same bright moon in my previous life?
What is the connection between this world and my previous world?
As I was lost in thought and admiration, the dark clouds drifted away, revealing a bright moon like an icy wheel.

The soft moonlight fell from the sky and fell into the bright light in the courtyard.

He flashed and disappeared from where he was, and the next moment he appeared ten feet away, and then flashed again and was three feet away.

His figure flashed in the yard, and each time he flashed he crossed about three meters.

The "So Close Yet So Far" footwork has already been mastered to a certain extent.

The route of the "A World Away" step is complicated. If you want to make the internal force flow along such a complicated route and practice it so well that there will be no mistakes, it should be divided into two steps.

The first step is to explore.

Use internal strength to open up this route.

This route is neither within the twelve main meridians nor within the eight extraordinary meridians, but is a new meridian in the body.

From one acupoint to the next and then to another, passing through thirty-two acupoints, it finally leads to the Yongquan point on both legs.

The internal force stored in the Dantian changes every time it passes through an acupoint. After undergoing thirty-two changes in thirty-two acupoints, it is completely different from the internal force cultivated by the Little Purple Yang Jue. It can make the body light and swift, and burst out with powerful strength in an instant.

The second step is to become proficient and fluent.

After opening up a mental route, one must also become proficient in it, be able to operate it smoothly with eyes closed and without distraction, and operate it subconsciously, making it as instinctive as drinking water and eating.

If you can't do this, you'll easily go wrong if you get nervous during a fight, which could lead to a stop at best, or even injury at worst. Doing this during a life-and-death fight would be tantamount to suicide.

He discovered that it was not only his facial features that had mutated, but also his brain.

Otherwise, you won't be able to easily accept the complex and vast flow of information brought by the extension of your five senses without feeling dizzy.

Before I knew it, I had a photographic memory.

He memorized the complicated exercise route after just one try, became proficient at it after three times, and became an instinct after twelve times.

There is no need to concentrate on moving your internal energy, you can do it as skillfully as others who have practiced for decades.

He shook his head and sighed, realizing that he was indeed a martial arts genius.

A genius is someone who can do things effortlessly that others need to spend a lot of time to do.

This means that others may only be able to master two or three martial arts in their lifetime, but you can master countless martial arts.

He then shook his head. The most fundamental thing is the realm. If the realm is not up to par, having a variety of unique skills will be just a show.

Most of your energy should be focused on practicing internal skills and improving your realm.

In the following time, his figure continued to flash, and the distance he crossed increased from three meters to four meters, five meters, and then no longer increased.

Due to the purity of internal energy, five meters is already the limit.

If you want to improve further, you have to improve the level of your internal energy.

He then asked Zou Fang to bring a long sword, tied it to his waist, and drew the sword out of the sheath and stabbed it again and again, faster and faster.

Before I knew it, the bright moon had moved westward.

The night grew darker.

A cold light flashed at his waist, and the sword was already stabbed in the air with incredible speed.

The Great Avalanche Sword Technique has been mastered.

Whether it is the "A World Away Steps" or the "Avalanche Sword Technique", they all have one thing in common, they are explosive martial arts.

What we pursue is swiftness and novelty.

This is what he chose based on his own characteristics.

With two masters, Zou Fang and Guo Chi, around, he only needed to use the "A World Away Step" to avoid the first or second attack. Zou Fang and Guo Chi would not allow the other party to use the third move.

The Great Avalanche Sword Technique is to condense all the cultivation in the body into a sword. A single sword can decide life or death. Combined with super senses, one can see through the opponent's weaknesses and judge the timing of one's own sword strike. Add in the acceleration of the "A World Away Step" to maximize the power.

As soon as he relaxed, he felt pain all over his body. It was as if his meridians were about to break from the excessive impact.

He lay on the couch, gagging for air. The pain was so unbearable that he couldn't sleep. He needed to divert his attention to relieve the pain, so he concentrated on the Jade Lock and Golden Gate Technique.

Then he sighed.

No wonder no one has mastered the Jade Lock and Golden Gate Technique so far.
