The Xiao Yao Faction
Chapter 15: Sharpen your sword to become a woodcutter
“Build!” Xuan Zhenzi waved his hand lightly, and Huang Xiao felt a force lift him up.
“Is this internal power?” Huang Xiao said in surprise.
"Haha, now I have a younger brother. Master, what is the name of the Tao younger brother? "Qinghe said with a smile, while Qingfeng and Qingyun were more reserved than Qinghe, and they just smiled.
“Yeah, you all come from the Qing generation, and your real name is Huang Xiao, so your Taoist name should be Qing Xiao!" After Xuan Zhenzi said this, he turned his attention to Huang Xiaodao, "Murid, how about this Tao No. Do you have any doubts?"
“Murid, I don't mind,” replied Huang Xiao.
"You don't need to pay too much attention to this Taoist name. It's just a title. The brothers in the temple are addressed by this Taoist name. As for coming out, you can also use the name Huang Xiao. Of course, you can also use Qingxiao." Xuan Zhenzi smiled. He said, "Qing Xiao, since you are now my disciple, I still have to explain some things to you."
Huang Xiao listened respectfully to Xuan Zhenzi's story of some of the sect's historical origins. The Xuan Zhenzi sect called "Secte Qing Niu" Its founder was a Taoist a hundred years ago, who called himself Qing Niu Zhenren. After achieving great success in martial arts, he saw incredible people and places on Zhongnan Mountain, so he built the "Qingniu Temple" here. Xuan Zhenzi was a third generation leader. The Qingniu Sect has never been this popular. Taoist Qingniu only accepted one disciple, teacher Xuan Zhenzi. Xuan Zhenzi was also his only teacher disciple, yet when Xuan Zhenzi became the leader, he accepted three disciples, of course Huang Xiao who numbered four.
“Master, our ancestors must have been peerless masters, right?” Huang Xiao asked.
"I don't know about this. I heard from your ancestors that after he built the 'Qing Niu Temple', he never took action again.." Xuan Zhenzi smiled and said, "Qing Xiao, I know that you are a scholar. Did you know that you are willing to practice martial arts?"
“Murid ready!” How could Huang Xiao not be willing? Then he continued, “Actually, not long ago, the disciple also learned a series of grappling techniques.”
“Oh?” Qinghe was a little surprised. He had not expected Huang Xiao to know martial arts. When Huang Xiao said he was a scholar before, he did not think of any other aspect. Of course, the main reason was that Huang Xiao had no internal strength, if he had internal strength, Qinghe would naturally be able to see through it.
“Male sister, can you use two moves to show me?” Qinghe continued.
Huang Xiao saw Xuan Zhenzi also smiling and nodding, he did not hesitate and completed a series of moves with concentration, then waited for Xuan Zhenzi's evaluation.
"In terms of movement alone, this could be considered a middle to high level grappling technique. Teacher, what do you think?" Qinghe asked.
"This "Snake Wrapping Hand" had its own uniqueness, yet there were many such techniques in the martial arts world. Boxing techniques, foot techniques, and palm techniques that imitated a savage beast in the mountains could all be classified into this category. Mako said, "You haven't trained any internal skills yet, so the strength of your own movements is much weaker."
“Master, when can this disciple train internal skills?” Huang Xiao asked expectantly.
“Male sister, don't be impatient when training internal strength,” Qingfeng said with a smile.
“Yes, yes, developing internal strength requires developing a state of mind,” Qingyun said as well.
Huang Xiao had a puzzled expression on his face, He knew that internal strength was not easy to practice, and not everyone could practice it, but he did not know how his state of mind was during this exercise.
“Then how to develop a state of mind?” Huang Xiao was extremely curious as to whether he could develop internal strength.
“There are many ways to develop a state of mind, and everyone can find a way that suits him. Of course, like our Taoist sect, reading various scriptures and being kind to others is one way to develop a state of mind." Xuan Zhenzi said, "Let's do this, Qing Xiao, you should stay with Qingfeng for a while. Qingfeng, your little brother will be handed over to you for a while."
"Teacher, I want my younger brother to temporarily be in charge of sorting out the scriptures in the scriptural space. Of course, he also needed to do the morning lessons and chant the scriptures with me. Do you think so?" Ask Qingfeng.
“Qing Xiao, what do you think?” Xuan Zhenzi asked Huang Xiaodao.
"Murid doesn't mind. Senior brother is busy! "Said Huang Xiao.
“As an older brother, of course I have to take care of you,” Qingfeng said with a smile.
“That's great, you don't need to rush to learn internal skills and mental methods. As long as your mental state is high, practicing skills in the future will naturally get double results with half the effort, and sharpening the blade.will continue to cut down wood." Xuan Zhenzi could see what Huang Xiao was thinking.
“Murid, teach!” huang Xiaogong said, and he also realized that he was a little impatient. However, this is human nature. Ever since he learned the "Snake Wrapping Hand", he had always been eager to learn internal skills and mental techniques. Now that the opportunity had been given to him, he was naturally excited.
Unwittingly, Huang Xiao had been in Qingniuguan for over two months, during that period, he also asked Qinghe about the location of Liu Qiang's village back then. Although the village was more than 300 miles from Qingniu Temple, Huang Xiao returned once to find out the situation of the village.
Although there was a glimmer of hope in my heart, but the reality was cruel, the cottage had long since been destroyed, the traces of burning fire everywhere.
However, when Huang Xiao saw the hundreds of graves not far from the village, he knew that even though most of the villagers in the village had been killed by the Wang family, there were at least survivors, otherwise, he knew that even though most of the villagers in the village had been killed by the Wang family, no one could bury the grave.
In Huang Xiao's mind, this must be Liu Qiang, after all Liu Qiang was not in the village at that time. Huang Xiao did not know where Liu Qiang was going now, from his current point of view, he could not help much. However, Huang Xiao also noticed this, someday he would have the strength to seek justice for the villagers in this village.
Except for this long trip, Huang Xiaobian had been staying at the Qingniu Temple and taking morning classes with Senior Brother Qingfeng every morning. For the rest of his time, he had also learned some potion refining methods from his second elder brother, Qingyun. It's just that the art of alchemy is very mysterious and cannot be studied in a short time.In two months, Huang Xiao had only recognized the efficacy of some herbs.
Of course Qinghe would not let go of her younger brother, she often invited Huang Xiao to practice martial arts together. However, Huang Xiao had yet to learn internal skills and mental methods, therefore, Qinghe had taught Huang Xiao many moves, in terms of strength, they were much more advanced than the "Snake Wrapping Hand".
Although Huang Xiao was very interested in martial arts, he was now also interested in some Taoist scriptures. Huang Xiao spent most of his time in the 'Silk Room' at night, sorting out the scriptures. During the compilation period, Huang Xiao had also read a lot, certainly in contrast to the books he had read before, yet containing countless insights and life principles. When he had many questions, he turned to his elder brother Qingfeng, In terms of scriptural comprehension, he only lost to his teacher Xuan Zhenzi.
As for Xuan Zhenzi, Huang Xiao had not seen him too often in the past two months, He learned from some elder brothers that his teacher was currently busy refining the 'Zengyuan Pill'.
'This 'Zengyuan Pill' was especially prepared for Bai Qi's sixtieth birthday, sect Leader Huaqing in one month.Secte Huaqing is the only second-rate sect within a thousand miles and has a small reputation in the world.
