#12Chapter 12: Learning the Nine Merits and Refining Qi and Blood
Fortunately, Chen Dahe didn't notice anything unusual.
Seeing that Shen Fang was not seen in the house, Shen Qing guessed that she had gone to her aunt's house.
After thinking about it, Shen Qing took two mountain bunnies, pulled out a feather arrow and walked out.
Considering that he now had meat at home, he carefully locked the door before leaving.
Shen Qing walked through the snow to her uncle's house, knocked on the door and shouted, "Uncle, aunt, are you at home?"
After a while, there were bursts of rustling sounds coming from the door.
There was a squeak.
The old wooden door opens.
When Shen Xiaohu saw it was Shen Qing, he turned around and shouted into the room: "Brother Qingzi is here."
When she heard that it was Shen Qing who came to the door, her aunt looked a little surprised. She sat on a chair doing needlework without even raising her head.
"Brother." Shen Fang, who was helping her aunt with work, looked relieved as usual when she saw that Shen Qing came back safe and sound.
Shen Qing glanced at the room and asked, "Where's uncle?"
Shen Xiaohu replied: "I have been taking Shanba up the mountain with me for a while. I guess I will be back in a while."
Shen Qing hummed, put the two hares in his hands on the ground and said, "Today I shot some mountain bunnies on the mountain and brought them to you, aunt."
"Brother Qingzi, you'd better take it back. It's not easy for you and eldest sister. I have a father at home, so we still have food." Shen Xiaohu hurriedly picked up the hare on the ground and stuffed it back into Shen Qing's hand.
Shen Qing declined and said, "I shot a lot this time, and I still have some at home. It's not that expensive."
He was slightly stronger than Shen Xiaohu. Shen Xiaohu couldn't push it away, so he had no choice but to give up.
"You still have some conscience." The aunt at the side snorted coldly.
"Auntie." Shen Xiaohu called out with a somewhat complaining tone.
Aunt Wang rolled her eyes at him and said nothing.
Shen Qing took advantage of the situation and put the hare away, then took out some arrows from his armpit, handed them to his aunt and said, "It just so happened that I found all the arrows I had lost today. These are the arrows I borrowed a few days ago. , Just give it back to my uncle and aunt."
Aunt Wang lowered her head, bit off the needle and thread, and said, "Put it on the table. I'll tell Uncle You later."
"Okay." Shen Qing put the arrow on the table and said, "There's nothing to do now. I've been bothering aunt here for a long time. Sister, please go back with me."
With that said, Shen Qing was about to turn around and go back, but his aunt Wang stopped him: "Wait a minute."
"What's the matter, Auntie?"
Aunt Wang placed an old patched coat on Shen Qing's body and gestured, "It looks just right."
"Aunt, what is this?"
Aunt Wang said: "I saw that you have been wearing this robe for a long time, and it is already short in many places. I used your brothers' old clothes to change it into one for you."
"this..."
"Stop the ink stains and go back quickly."
Aunt Wang directly issued an eviction order.
After getting along for a while, Shen Qing also knew his aunt's temperament, so he didn't say anything more and took Shen Fang home.
On the way, Shen Fang complained softly: "Qingzi, just give me one. Our family doesn't have much to eat. When we get rich in the future, it won't be too late to give more to my aunt's family..."
Shen Qing didn't respond. He walked to the door and opened the door to let Shen Fang in.
As soon as she entered the door, Shen Fang saw the wild roe deer piled up in the house, and her muttering suddenly stopped.
Shen Fang's eyes were full of disbelief: "Qingzi..."
"Good luck, I killed an extra silly roe deer." Shen Qing looked back at Shen Fang and said with a half-smile: "Sister, can you cook roe deer meat?"
…
Facts have proved that Shen Fang is not only good-looking, but also good at craftsmanship.
In her hands, after being smoked by firewood, the meat of the roe deer became firm and elastic. You can feel the toughness and chewiness of the meat fiber with every bite.
A slight burnt aroma formed on the surface of the bacon. This burnt aroma was combined with the tenderness of the meat. Although it was a bit raw, it made Shen Qing eat it with relish.
The two siblings had eaten a lot of food without being so open-minded. They devoured the food as if they were swept away by residual clouds, and ate up the roasted wild roe deer meat completely.
Even so, there was still a lot of roe deer meat, and the two siblings only ate a very small portion.
The remaining ones will not rot in the winter. Shen Qing plans to take half of them to the county town and sell them in exchange for some money.
After filling her stomach, Shen Fang consciously went to clean up the housework, while Shen Qing, who was rarely free, took out the "Nine Gong Jin" martial arts book under the sky and looked at it carefully.
This martial arts book is an introductory martial arts book. It just tempers the blood and lays the foundation for martial arts masters to practice martial arts.
The entire martial arts book involves nine major skills, without any fighting or killing methods.
It's a bit similar to the health-preserving martial arts like Baduanjin in my previous life.
Considering the understanding of practitioners, the entire booklet is mostly presented in the form of a picture book, which is easy to understand and can be practiced according to it.
However, Shen Qing also knows that the easier this kind of martial arts looks, the more difficult it is to learn it.
There are often many details here that are difficult to notice and easy to overlook.
And often the success or failure of learning lies in these details.
After reading it once, Shen Qing understood the general practice method, and began to practice the first four piles (Hunyuan pile, contradiction pile, baby care pile and floating cloud pile) according to the postures of the characters in it.
He put the blue book on the table, opened one of the pages, and then clenched his fists and stood up as described in the book.
At first, there was no discomfort, but after only a dozen breaths, Shen Qing felt a burst of pain under his waist and knees, and the pain became more and more obvious.
Shen Qing had a blank expression and gritted his teeth to support.
After a while, the muscles of his whole body trembled slightly with the rhythm of his breathing, as if an invisible force was flowing in his body.
As his breathing deepened, Shen Qing's body began to tremble slightly, and the blood under his skin began to roll.
Suddenly, it seemed that he felt something.
Shen Qing's consciousness moved.
In his sight, a drop of ink spread out, and ink characters emerged one by one
[Skill: Jiugongjin (beginner)]
[Progress: 0/100 points]
[Status: cannot be improved]
[Note: A skill to refine qi and blood. Continuous practice can improve progress, qi and blood are perfect, and the strength is as strong as an ox. ]
Looking at the ink characters that appeared in his sight, Shen Qing couldn't help but smile, and his heart finally fell.
It seems that his ink panel is not only for improving archery and hunting, but also for martial arts.
Now that the martial arts of Jiugongjin can be displayed in his sight, as long as he continues to practice, he will be able to achieve it forever and continuously improve his progress.
Given some time, he will be able to learn Jiugongjin perfectly.
When he thought of this, Shen Qing seemed to be full of energy.
Even though his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, he seemed to be unaware of it and was fully immersed in the practice.
