The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 15: March, Seven Moves of the Dragon
Baisha County is a standard upper-class county with a population of over 100,000 households and sufficient population.

But Baisha City is also very small, especially in the upper circles, where information flows very quickly.

Chu Zhou's entry and exit of the Iron Spear Martial Arts School was of course inconspicuous, but the change in the properties of the 500 acres of top-quality paddy fields was truly eye-catching.

Not to mention, for the next three days, the wife of Master Wei Wu of the Iron Spear Martial Arts School, along with her son and daughter, went to Xuanzhen Temple to burn incense and pray.

There was a lot of fanfare as they went back and forth, with dozens of strong men leading the way, their attitude almost written on their faces.

This went on for three days. Even a fool would know that Xuanzhen Temple was now under the protection of the Iron Spear Martial Arts School.

Unless you want to turn against Tieqiang Martial Arts School directly, don't think about attacking Xuanzhen Temple.

It has to be said that Wei Jinkui's credibility is impeccable and he did a great job. After all this operation, Chu Zhou felt that his 500 acres of paddy fields were really worth the money.

It was also at this time that Chu Zhou reflected on his experiences during this period and his various operations. Gradually, he felt more at ease.

Killing people to fight ghosts is to show strength and intimidate the enemy!
Recruiting apprentices on behalf of the teacher, reducing or exempting land rent and interest, and rewarding the shopkeeper and employees are both ways to win people's hearts and to maintain domestic stability.

In addition, the Iron Spear Martial Arts School is used to win over divisions, find allies, and unite against external enemies.

In this way, after three consecutive moves, Chu Zhou believed that any force in Baisha City would have to weigh the pros and cons repeatedly in their minds when they wanted to attack Xuanzhen Temple again.

They have to think about whether it is worth facing the wrath of the Iron Spear Martial Arts School for the sake of the Xuanzhen Temple's business?

They also had to think about whether they would be able to withstand the inevitable backlash if they failed to kill the snake and let the little Taoist escape?
When ghosts kill people, it is a case that even the government cannot solve. If the case is not handled properly, when a person dies, he is really dead.

For big shots, if someone dies and the money is not spent, isn’t that a huge loss? !

In this way, when this group of people began to weigh the pros and cons, Chu Zhou's goal was achieved, and Xuanzhen Temple had a peaceful life.

He doesn't even ask for long-term peace and stability, because that is impossible. He has a mission to accomplish, and if others don't cause trouble, he will have to do it himself.

But now, with a short period of peace, he can finally stay put and develop.

The side effects of the secret technique were too great. Chu Zhou didn't want to be like Taoist Xuan Zhen. Killing seven people in one night was impressive, but the backlash also turned him into a useless person.

He would never make such a choice!

This is also the reason why he is unwilling to easily drive his minions to his side and instead seek allies outside.

But even without the secret arts, isn’t there still martial arts?
This time, he planned to work hard on the martial arts book "The Angry Dragon Flipping the River".

……

When Taoist Xuanzhen's funeral was held, the weather was quite good. Even though it was autumn, the sun was shining brightly.

But after only three or four days, the weather changed completely. Cold winds howled and autumn rain fell between heaven and earth.

Although they are not big, when they fall on people, they cut the skin like a knife.

As the saying goes, every autumn rain brings a chill. The weather takes a sudden turn for the worse, and it gets colder day by day.

Until winter came completely, snowflakes began to float in the sky, falling heavily. Overnight, everything was covered in silver, and the sky and the earth were covered in white.

As the saying goes, when the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, it doesn’t necessarily mean that there will be no human habitation even if winter comes.

But the reality is that most farmers cannot find so many cold-proof and warm clothes, and they have to reduce their activity as much as possible, so they can only stay at home and rely on the prepared firewood and charcoal to keep warm.

This situation will not get better until the spring when everything comes back to life.

In this way, Xuanzhen Temple finally spent three months in peace and stability.

At this time, in the backyard,

The snow finally stopped falling after a night of meditation, and Chu Zhou, who had been standing in meditation all night, began to move.

I saw a snowman suddenly exploded, his muscles pulsating rhythmically like waves, snowflakes shot out like arrows, creating layers of huge waves, revealing Chu Zhou's strong body.

Normally, people around sixteen or seventeen years old would be a little thin, and the original body was the same.

But after three months of nourishing the body and practicing martial arts, Chu Zhou now has full muscles and tight skin, and his chest and abdomen rise and fall more and more with every breath.

In just a moment, just like the pumping of bellows, the rumbling sounds became one and the roar was truly like the roar of an angry dragon.

Along with the dragon's roar, Chu Zhou's muscles, flesh, skin and bones seemed to be alive and moving rhythmically.

Sometimes his muscles and bones stretched, his body grew taller, and in a flash, his body seemed to be over two meters tall.

Sometimes the muscles tense and the skin becomes taut, as if it were made of iron and cannot be shaken.

Sometimes, pieces of muscle move under the skin, driving the blood and strength, which surge layer by layer, gathering more and more, as if they are about to merge into a surging river.

Of course, it is not easy to maintain this state. Chu Zhou could not last long and could no longer control the pores on his skin.

I saw a large amount of hot air rising from under my skin, colliding with the cold air, rising like smoke and enveloping myself.

If an outsider were to look at it, he would seem to be able to sense the heat rising and the blood boiling, as if he saw an angry dragon roaring to the sky.

If Taoist Xuan Zhen were here, his eyes would probably pop out of his head.

Because, this is the dirty practice method of "The Angry Dragon Flipping the River", the Angry Dragon Swallows!
However, when the heat dissipated and Chu Zhou's figure appeared, he had a frown on his face. "Failed, still failed!"

It wasn't that 'Swallow the Angry Dragon' failed, but his attempt to integrate the internal organ training method into the 'Body Tempering' stage failed!

This was also a sudden idea of ​​his. Since the four levels of "tendons, flesh, skin and bones" can be trained together to become the body tempering stage, can the internal organs be trained together?

With this idea in mind, he made many attempts, from theoretical planning, to step-by-step design, to research on dirty training methods, to the final integration...

He put in a lot of effort, but when he actually tried, he encountered many setbacks.

Just like last night, he stood in the snow and adjusted his breathing for the whole night. He felt that his control had reached the peak at this stage, and he successfully used the method of practicing internal organs.

But in the end, it still failed!
As for the reason?

He summarized a lot, but the most important points are probably two.

Firstly, the internal organs are too fragile. Only after crossing the four levels of 'tendons, flesh, skin and bones' and achieving a subtle level of control over qi, blood and strength can one truly strengthen the internal organs.

He actually managed to do this, even though he spent a whole night concentrating his energy for it.

Secondly, the principle of the internal organ training method is to stimulate the circulation of Qi, blood and strength through ultra-high intensity breathing, which then penetrates into the internal organs little by little.

But this requires extremely high physical strength.

Just now, Chu Zhou failed at the last moment because he could no longer lock in his energy, blood and strength due to that kind of breathing.

The heat rising from his body and his scattered strength indicated his failure.

However, Chu Zhou was not that disappointed. Although he failed, he also gained a lot of knowledge about the internal realm training, so it was not a loss!
At dawn in winter, the cold wind blew past like a knife, and Chu Zhou shivered suddenly.

He is not immune to cold and heat, but he can still resist when his qi, blood and strength are circulating.

But now that the anger has been released, he can hardly bear it anymore.

However, Chu Zhou still did not hide in the house. Instead, he raised his hand and took out a medicine bottle, poured out three pills, put them into his mouth and started chewing.

Blood-replenishing and Qi-invigorating soups are certainly good, but they are only used to strengthen Qi and blood. When it comes to the Body Tempering Stage, although they are useful, their effects are limited.

Therefore, there is this pill for strengthening muscles and bones.

As the name suggests, it is most suitable for strengthening muscles and bones and improving the body. It is also an advanced prescription recorded in the secret book of "The Angry Dragon Turning the River Hand".

In terms of the efficacy of the medicine, it is of course good. After just a breath, Chu Zhou felt a stream of heat flowing from his lower abdomen to his whole body.

The hands and feet that were frozen by the cold were warmed up.

Well, it is good, but it is also expensive to make!

Not to mention the complicated production process, the expensive medicinal materials added, such as ginseng, tiger bones, deer antlers, etc., push the cost price of each pill to five hundred coins.

When it comes to Chu Zhou, because he has to train his muscles, skin and bones at the same time, he has to increase the efficacy of the medicine, and he has to use three pills in a row each time.

Just like this, to practice once, the expense is one tael of silver and five hundred big coins, which is expensive beyond imagination!

But it’s expensive, and there’s a reason for it!
In an instant, Chu Zhou started moving. His spine was like a dragon and his body was like a python. He twisted his body at will, and his muscles and bones rubbed against each other. The sound of "crackling" could be heard.

Then he leaped into the air like a dragon, and in an instant he jumped several meters away. His limbs were stretched to the extreme, and his blood rushed out, and his strength was like a tide, reaching the ends of his tendons and bones, as if it would penetrate his body.

When landing, his limbs were as light as feathers, but the snow on the ground flew around like a small shock wave.

Chu Zhou took another deep breath and stood up straight. His energy and blood gathered in his hands, and his strength surged out. His claws attacked like a madman.

There was a sound of "chi chi chi chi" breaking through the air, and suddenly hundreds of claw shadows appeared in the void, crossing the sky in all directions with astonishing power.

It was the same 'Three Moves of Wandering Dragon', but when Chu Zhou used it this time, it was no longer the same as before, and its momentum was more than ten times more powerful.

But this is not over yet. After finishing the "Dragon Claw Style", Chu Zhou leaped again, his body like a dragon or snake. In a short while, he had taken twenty-eight steps, leaving strange traces in the backyard.

This is the 'dragon-snake style'!
Then his posture changed. Chu Zhou squatted down with his head held high, like a dragon or a tiger, mighty and domineering.

This is the 'coiling dragon and crouching tiger' style!
Then his legs were like a dragon's tail, kicking out one after another, sometimes swift, sometimes fierce, sometimes in the air, sometimes stomping on the ground, sometimes soft, sometimes unpredictable...

It is incredible that it is just a simple leg technique and yet it can produce so many characteristics.

This is the 'Cicada Shedding Dragon Transformation'!
Finally, Chu Zhou strode through the courtyard again.
Although it looks like it is just walking, its posture is very mighty. When it looks around, there is a dragon-like murderous aura spreading out, which becomes thicker and thicker, making others dare not look directly at it.

This is the 'Dragon Walk and Tiger Step Style'!
If the internal organs training method is successfully integrated, there should be an eighth form. Chu Zhou has already thought of a name for it, which is called the 'Dragon Roar and Tiger Roar Form'.

It's a pity that this world combines the four major trainings of 'tendons, flesh, skin and bones' together, and divides the training of the internal organs into separate categories. There is a reason for this.

But even so, the Three Swimming Dragon Styles were expanded to the Seven Swimming Dragon Styles, which could temper every part of the 'tendons, flesh, skin, and bones', including almost all the large tendons, large muscle groups, and bone membranes.

And this is one of Chu Zhou’s achievements in March of winter.
