Chapter 76: Intercepting the Miss

Fifteen articles?

Li Guanyi thought of the most secret method of the Murong family in the soul-refining method among the ten great martial arts in the Central Plains mentioned by Xue Daoyong before, "The Twelve-story Tower in the Misty Rain of Jiangnan". He looked at Murong Qiushui, who smiled and looked at Li Guanyi: "It's just an insignificant method."

"There are too many people in the world who know this little trick."

Li Guanyi said: "Many people know this little trick, but who can use it?"

Murong Qiushui stretched out her hands and pinched Li Guanyi's cheeks, then clasped her hands together and flattened the boy's cheeks, making his mouth bulge out, and said angrily, "This is not important, Li Nuer."

"The last part was figured out by my aunt herself."

"So, apart from me, there will only be one person who can do it."

Li Guanyi didn't ask any more questions.

He and his aunt have been dependent on each other for ten years. Although he still has many confusions in his heart, he will not ask unless his aunt tells him. Anyway, his aunt will not harm him. If the skills can be used, then he will just practice them. However, these seemingly complicated techniques made Li Guan feel overwhelmed, but he got the hang of it right away when he practiced.

The body works on instinct.

This is not learning, it's more like memorizing.

The changes and transitions in internal energy and spirit are the ups and downs of the piano sounds.

God’s maintenance is like a finger gently pressing on a guitar string, which makes the string taut and produces a long overtone.

It was as if he had completely focused his attention, discarding all thoughts of cultivation and just keeping a normal mind.

I have been practicing this technique for ten years.

During the ten years, he did not regard it as a secret skill, but simply studied the technique of playing the piano, simplifying the complex, and finally reaching the extreme. He then picked up many of the applicable techniques again, and then he could do it as he pleased, naturally, just like a tree with solid roots, which naturally produces luxuriant flowers.

This wave of strings is a tune of the piano.

But they are all the internal flow of this technique.

Li Guanyi was playing the zither when he heard his aunt's suppressed cough. He stopped playing the zither, looked at Murong Qiu Shui who was covering her lips, and said, "Aunt, your old illness is coming back again?!" The young man threw down the zither and walked over quickly.

Murong Qiu Shui suddenly fell ill a few years ago.

She was coughing non-stop and looked pale. She was the one taking care of Li Guanyi before that day.

After that day, it was the young children who took care of her.

So much so that the thirteen-year-old Li Guanyi was working at Huichuntang, but later he brought his aunt back to the Xue family and took good care of her daily diet and daily life. His aunt had not coughed for a long time, and Li Guanyi gradually calmed down, but today she had an attack again.

Li Guanyi supported Murong Qiu Shui, and his internal energy circulated and passed to her from his palms.

Murong Qiushui's body was obviously not forged. She was not a warrior who was used to killing. Li Guanyi's internal energy could only be transmitted an inch away before it naturally dispersed and collapsed. Murong Qiushui held Li Guanyi with her backhand and said softly, "It's an old problem."

"Don't worry about Auntie, Li Nuer."

Li Guanyi looked at Murong Qiu Shui, who had a slight smile on his face and calm eyes.

Li Guanyi retracted his hand and said, "Then don't worry, Auntie. I can play the piano by myself. I will ask the kitchen to make some nourishing soup for you."

Murong Qiushui immediately held the young man in his arms and said with a smile, "Yeah, not bad."

"Auntie coughed deliberately, and my slave cat served her more food. She is really filial."

Li Guanyi twitched his lips: "You!"

"Are you trying to scare me again?"

Murong Qiushui laughed out loud and said proudly, "Didn't my aunt say that?"

"Be careful with pretty girls, they are the best at deceiving you."

"Isn't my aunt beautiful?"

Li Guanyi grinned and said bluntly: "Ban Lao Xu..."

Then I got hit hard on the forehead.

Murong Qiu Shui glared at him angrily. Her eyebrows and facial features were more beautiful than those of a young lady who was still young and had not fully grown up. She was also much more lively than Yao Guang. Li Guanyi covered his forehead with his hands and ran to play the piano. While playing the piano, his eyes became quiet and there was no playfulness as before.

There were many thoughts in my mind. What exactly was going on with my aunt's old illness...

If the method his aunt taught him was really the most secretive of the ten great martial arts in the Central Plains as described by Old Xue, "The Twelve-Storied Tower in the Misty Rain of Jiangnan".

My aunt must have a very high level of cultivation.

He is not like a warrior who has murderous intent at every step, but at least he has some attainments in the divine realm.

Something she couldn't handle.

Li Guan immediately thought of the poison in his heart.

Escaped that year.

He is extremely poisonous.

Can my aunt really get away with it?

My aunt said that his father was wearing a mask. Was it the Duke of Taiping, or were the others also wearing masks? After all, in General Xue's memory, the Duke of Chen, the ancestor of the State of Chen, also wore a dark gold mask.

The more we trace back to those days, the more mysteries we discover.

Li Guanyi suppressed his complicated thoughts.

Knowing that his thoughts were too many and too complex, if they were reflected in the sound of the piano, they would not escape Murong Qiu Shui's ears, so he played the piano quietly.

My internal energy will be transmitted to my aunt's meridians and will naturally disperse.

It was because after entering the state, the internal energy could leave the body, but it had only completed the body building and had not yet condensed the energy. The energy was not condensed enough, and after leaving the body for a period of time, it would naturally dissipate. It seemed that I had to explain this to old man Xue Daoyong.

Said he had completed the body casting.

You need to practice the next stage of exercises.

In order to prevent their disciples from being greedy for merit and making reckless advances, most sects and families will pass down their skills stage by stage to ensure that their disciples do not suffer from an unstable foundation due to their desire to improve their realm quickly.

Li Guanyi has not said that his body has been forged in the past few days.

It takes an ordinary person three years to forge a body, but I completed it in just ten days. It is really outrageous. I plan to find a good time and talk to the old man in detail.

But we have to go to Jiangzhou City.

Then you should improve your realm.

If you want to figure out what’s wrong with my aunt’s health, you need to at least condense your Qi.

There is also Old Man Siming. Li Guanyi's "Tiger Roaring Bone Tempering Technique" has reached the door of the final level. According to the records of the technique, if one can use the various kinds of luck between heaven and earth to temper the practice, he can push this "Tiger Roaring Bone Tempering Technique" to the extreme.

What Li Guanyi was thinking about before was the starlight.

Now, let’s use the roaring sound of the fallen Tuyuhun nation as the final step to help us see to what level we can practice the “Tiger Roaring Bone Tempering Technique”.

[The warrior's physique is raised to a higher level, and hidden injuries are cleansed and hidden poisons are eliminated] huh...

An idea emerged in the boy's mind.

If it is driven by the destiny of destroying a country.

How much can it be improved?

It’s not written in the book.

Because none of the White Tiger Sect's successive generations had achieved the feat of destroying a country when they practiced this technique. No, there was one person, the only one before him, who had the luck to destroy a country when he was young and practiced this technique.

Li Guanyi remembered.

That was exactly the opponent of Chidi, the founding monarch of the dynasty eight hundred years ago.

The overlord of troubled times, the forger of the Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd.

The strongest White Tiger clan since ancient times.

so far.

The only practitioner who has completed this level of Tiger Roar Bone Tempering Technique.

………………

Li Guanyi quickly mastered the "little tricks" that Murong Qiu Shui mentioned.

However, he discovered a new problem, that is, there is still a long way to go between learning a skill and being able to use it perfectly. In the following days, Li Guanyi played the piano more attentively every day and his skills became more and more proficient, but he could not maintain the disguise of "God" all the time.

After practicing the piano that day, he took up his halberd and practiced martial arts at the Xue family's martial arts field.

He was already very proficient in the Xue family's halberd fighting method, but he still had difficulty using the rolling waves.

He had enough weapons and his body was forged, but he had not condensed his Qi. When his Qi was released, it would always disperse when a move was completed. Li Guanyi was not discouraged and practiced one move after another. Xue Changqing was envious. After Li Guanyi finished practicing, he also ran to pick up the halberd and practiced.

Li Guanyi looked around and didn't find any familiar figures. He said:
"Why didn't the young lady come?"

Xue Changqing thrust forward with the halberd, holding the end with both hands, his hands trembling a little:

"Ah? You're asking my sister?"

"Why don't you ask me!"

Li Guan raised his hand and touched the boy's head.

Xue Changqing could only mumble and answer:
"There is a verbal order from the palace, asking my sister to enter the palace."

Li Guanyi paused for a moment and said, "Enter the palace?"

Xue Changqing said, "It is said that Aunt is lonely in the palace. In the remaining month, the Emperor has to fast, bathe, and meditate to prepare for the grand sacrifice. He cannot accompany her all the time, so he wrote a letter, asking you to go to the palace to accompany Aunt until the grand sacrifice is over next month, and then come back with Grandpa."

"Sister is not very happy."

Li Guanyi: "Unhappy?"

Xue Changqing said: "There are so many rules in the palace. My sister only looks like a young lady from a noble family. In fact, she doesn't like so many rules in the palace. Even eating, drinking, and walking have to follow certain etiquettes. It can drive people crazy."

"But, it seems that my aunt is six months pregnant."

Xue Changqing sighed, "Her mood often fluctuates, so His Majesty the Emperor personally wrote a letter. There are many women in the Xue family who can accompany her now, but for such an opportunity, it must be a woman of the direct lineage. Doesn't that only leave my sister?"

"Grandpa agreed without any hesitation."

"We have already started preparing the carriages and horses."

"All those ladies from the noble families congratulated my sister and envied her. It seemed like there was some kind of outing and singing party."

"I guess I don't have the heart to practice martial arts today."

Li Guanyi said: "Is that so."

He thought about it and let Xue Changqing practice martial arts by himself while he went to see the young lady. As a result, he ran into the young lady coming out. Zhao Dabing was driving. Xue Shuangtao saw Li Guanyi here and asked curiously, "Didn't you go to practice martial arts?"

Li Guanyi smiled and asked Zhao Dabing to make room for him.

Then he sat down and said, "Nothing, I'm tired of practicing martial arts every day, so I'm going to go out for a walk. Brother Zhao, is that okay?"

Zhao Dabing had already prepared the salt-baked peanuts and scented tea very skillfully.

Undoubtedly unobtrusive.

Xue Shuangtao asked: "Did Changqing tell you that?"

Li Guanyi betrayed the little guy and said sincerely:

"Don't blame the kid for having a big mouth."

Xue Shuangtao sighed, looking at the familiar scenery outside the window for a long time, and said: "I really don't want to go to the palace. It's boring and boring. Everyone's words have hidden meanings and there are many thoughts hidden in their hearts. It's really tiring to live there."

Li Guanyi said: "Can't I not go?"

Xue Shuangtao said: "If I don't go, wouldn't all my efforts be in vain? I am the daughter of a noble family. I have been nurtured by my family since I was young. I have never lacked for food, clothing, shelter and transportation. There are gains and losses. If I am needed, I will naturally not be able to escape."

"You gain something, you lose something, it's always like this."

"Many daughters of aristocratic families only want to gain, and are unwilling to lose, which is why they feel angry and miserable."

She opened the curtain and looked at the scenery outside. It was spring now and the scenery along the Jiangnan Road was just perfect. She placed her hands on the curtain and rested her chin on it, saying, "It's just that I won't be able to see scenery like this for a long time. But I could only see it when I went to a private school before. Now I want to see more of it."

Li Guanyi asked in confusion: "If you want to see it, go and see it. Isn't it an outing today?"

Xue Shuangtao laughed and said, "How could that be possible? Even if we went outing, we would go outside the city with the ladies, reciting poems and composing couplets beside the stream. They said they wanted to see me off, but in fact they just wanted to use this opportunity to get together, compare this and that, and compete with each other."

"I feel that apart from their family background, they are no worse than me."

"They don't say it directly, but they say it in secret. Then I have no choice but to respond with a smile. It's very tiring."

Li Guanyi:
"What kind of outing is this? Isn't this a fight?"

"It doesn't make any sense yet."

Xue Shuangtao smiled, looking very familiar: "It's like this for aristocratic families."

Li Guanyi looked at the young lady and saw that she looked calm, which was different from usual. He looked at the knife on his waist and thought about the bow and halberd behind him. Li Guanyi felt that he could not just sit there and watch. He rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "Do you want to go for an outing?"

Xue Shuangtao asked: "Hmm?"

"What do you mean?"

Li Guanyi grinned: "I'm just asking you, do you want to see it?"

The eldest lady nodded and said, "Of course I want to see it, but..."

Li Guanyi said: "If you want to see, just come out and see. There's so much to say, but the view from this place is much clearer than from a small square inside." He stretched out his hand. Xue Shuangtao hesitated and grabbed her sleeve to come out, but who would have thought that the boy would grab her wrist with his backhand.

Then pull it out.

The scenery of Jiangnan Road and the sky outside suddenly caught Xue Shuangtao's eyes.

The wind of Jiangnan, the blue sky, the white clouds, the willow trees on both sides, the wind fluttering in the young man’s sleeves, and his unbridled laughter.

Not within the scope of that small grid.

Li Guanyi grabbed him and pulled him out.

He grabbed the dagger with his right hand, turned around and slashed it.

The cold light of the dagger flashed.

The reins of the two horses in the carriage were pulled apart, and with a clang, Zhao Dabing's carriage suddenly stopped on the side of the road. Zhao Dabing was startled, and then he saw the young man pulling Xue Shuangtao up. Li Guanyi was sitting on one horse, and Xue Shuangtao was pulled up by him, and then fell on another horse.

The young man turned around and shouted, "Brother Zhao, can I borrow your horse?"

"When we get back, I'll tell the old man!"

"I'm taking the young lady out for an outing."

The two horses were about to run wildly, but when Li Guanyi glanced at them, the tiger beside him became quiet, and the two horses became docile, then let go of all four hooves and ran away. Xue Shuangtao rode the horse in a skirt, her eyes wide open, and said, "You, you, you, where are you going?!"

"I have already received the invitation, so I have to go. Please let me go back."

Li Guanyi said: "I find those poetry gatherings where the ladies from noble families are so friendly with each other and scheming against each other boring to me."

"If you don't like it, then don't go. You look so miserable, which doesn't seem like a young lady at all."

He joked:
"If you were in a bad mood, you wouldn't have put my weapons under your account, right?"

Xue Shuangtao's eyes widened.

I felt nervous, as if I had violated the rules I had always followed, and my heart was beating fast.

Instinctively replied: "But this is not polite."

"I have to go. If I don't go, what will they say to me?"

Li Guanyi said softly:
"Miss, you don't have to live in the eyes of others."

"Even if you enter the palace, don't make yourself too tired."

He expressed his concern: "These things will not affect the Xue family. It is not wrong to make yourself happy within a reasonable range. You will stay in the palace, so it's okay to do whatever you want in the end."

The two horses galloped quickly on the street, away from Zhao Dabing and the Xue family's carriage. Old Zhao shouted, "Hey, hey, hey, brother, be careful, don't hit anyone!"

The maid Qing'er over there shouted, "Li Keqing, Master, no, Li Guanyi!"

"what are you doing?!"

"How am I going to explain this to the ladies over there?"

The young man raised his eyebrows and said, "That's what you said, Sister Qing'er..."

He turned around, and for some reason, he didn't go to play the piano.

At this moment, his spirit changed, as if it matched the style of the second chapter. He naturally had a hint of free and brisk charm. He did not deliberately change, and he was not even aware of it. However, the skills began to work naturally and began to gradually ascend the stairs. He just smiled and said:

"There's an unruly fellow who kidnapped your young lady!"
