Chapter 322: Qi Xiu Fa Jue
He thought of the quiet Xuanying, with whom he and Yu Aqi had secretly planned for several months in Jiaoshan. They were close friends. He wondered where he was now and whether he was doing well. He was confused and filled with emotion.
Seeing that it was getting late, he said goodbye to Gao Tinggeng and the others. When he returned to the camp, it was already 3 p.m., and Wangang's team had already returned.
Chu Xiaomu called everyone together and said that he had something very important to discuss with everyone.
Zhou Weide glanced at him and said, "Mu Tou, you are always so secretive. If you have something to say, why don't you just speak out? There is no one in this damn place. Are you afraid that others might eavesdrop?"
Wu Sheng immediately refuted him: "Brother De'er, you are just talking nonsense."
Zhou Weide said angrily: "Where did I lie?!"
Wu Sheng said, "You said Mu Tou was always so mysterious. What else could you say if it wasn't nonsense? The truth is that Mu Tou was rarely so mysterious. He used to be very open and honest. I said that people can change. Do you believe me now?"
Zhou Weide was about to scold him for talking nonsense, but Chu Xiaomu hurriedly pulled him to sit down, took out the "Returning Stars Technique" that Yang Luo had given him from his arms, and placed it in the middle of the people gathered in a circle. He said, "This is the book that Yang Zhongjun gave me to open the Force, called "Returning Stars Technique"."
Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect Yang Luo to call Chu Xiaomu over that day and actually gave him a strange book that could open the Force. Zhang Hou quickly stretched out his right hand towards the book, wanting to take it and take a closer look. When he was about to touch the book, he suddenly stopped and asked Chu Xiaomu, "Is there anything strange about this book that will cause anyone who touches it to fall to the ground immediately?"
Chu Xiaomu laughed and said, "If it was so powerful, wouldn't I have died long ago?"
Zhang Hou thought so too, and stretched his hand a little further, but finally held back, sighed, and said, "Such a treasure must not be dirty."
Zhou Weide said, "Hou Pi'er, you finally said something right. The treasure given by Yang Zhongjun is not something that everyone can touch." After a pause, he asked Chu Xiaomu, "Mu Tou, what is the meaning of taking out this thing? Just tell me." Everyone looked at Chu Xiaomu, not knowing what he meant by this.
Chu Xiaomu said word by word: "I want everyone to practice the Force with me."
Everyone was excited when they heard this. Wu Sheng, however, poured cold water on them, saying, "It's okay to learn it, but it's very difficult to open the force. I want to know how this "Returning to the Stars" compares to the "Qi Sea Seeking the Origin" that the soldiers of Bicheng often practice. Is it better or worse? If it's too different, then it's better not to practice it. It's a waste of time."
Chu Xiaomu said: "I don't know which one is better compared to "Qi Hai Xun Yuan". But everyone knows Yang Zhongjun's ability. Apart from the general, he is the best in Bicheng. He cultivates the Force according to this "Gui Xing Fa Jue". "Everyone nodded, thinking that it was well known that Yang Luo's Force martial arts were very high. It turned out that the Force was not cultivated according to the common Kaiyuan technique "Qi Hai Xun Yuan" of the Bicheng Army, but this "Gui Xing Fa Jue". It seems that this technique is more powerful than "Qi Hai Xun Yuan".
Chu Xiaomu continued, "But Yang Zhongjun also said that the 'Return to the Stars Technique' is radical and mysterious, and not suitable for everyone to practice. He told me not to show it to you easily."
Wang Gang said, "Xiao Mu, then just put it away. You must listen to Yang Zhongjun's words." Everyone also advised him to put it away.
Chu Xiaomu said, "We have been in the Bicheng Army for more than half a year. Due to various reasons, we have not been taught to open the Force. I am also responsible for this. If I had not chosen to come to the Nanding Army, I might have opened the Force a long time ago." Then he said, "General Yang didn't mean that I couldn't show it to you. He meant that some people are suitable for practicing this, and some are not."
Lingweidou said: "Brother Xiaomu, how do you know whether we are suitable or not?"
Chu Xiaomu said: "That's what I mean. None of us knows whether we are suitable for practicing the Return to the Stars Technique, so let's all practice it to see if we are suitable or not."
Everyone was silent, even the hot-tempered Zhou Weide and the sarcastic Wu Sheng did not speak.
Chu Xiaomu said: "Although Yang Zhongjun said that it was only for me, he only said that it cannot be transferred to others at will, not that it is forbidden to transfer to others; and as the captain, I cannot keep it to myself."
After a long silence, Wangang said, "Xiaomu, I will practice with you. If the people of Sand come again for some reason, we won't be able to defeat any of them without the power of the Force. By then, we won't be able to save our own lives, so how can we protect the city and the people?"
Once these words were spoken, everyone's doubts and worries were completely dispelled, and everyone responded, saying that they were willing to practice "Guixing Fa Jue" with Chu Xiaomu.
Chu Xiaomu was very happy. He immediately turned the page of the book and recited the practice formula with everyone.
This went on day after day, and after patrolling the border every day, everyone used their free time to practice the "Return to the Stars Technique". Chu Xiaomu gradually understood the few parts that he didn't understand at first after discussing with everyone.
However, practicing the Force was extremely boring. Chu Xiaomu was obsessed with revenge for his grandfather, Huai Xiaomeng and others, so he was always energetic and never slacked off. Zhang Hou was lazy by nature. After practicing for only a few days, he used the excuse of going to the top of the mountain to see what was going on on the grassland, but in fact he lay on the grass and fell asleep. Although Zhou Weide and Zhou Weiyi tried their best to persist, they often yawned in less than an hour, and then they began to be confused as if they were sleepwalking. The most unexpected thing was Wu Sheng. Although he spoke harshly, he was very energetic in practicing the Force. Sometimes Chu Xiaomu had already fallen asleep, but he was still hiding in the tent to recite the formula and practice the exercises. He was really hardworking.
After months of herding horses, they had gained considerable experience in surviving in the wild and mastered various techniques. Sumi was an excellent archer and could hunt four or five gray rabbits, chickens and other game every day. Once they encountered a group of long-horned antelopes and they easily shot down two of them, which was enough to feed them for more than half a month, and with all kinds of wild fruits and grass stems, it was considered a very rich meal.
Even if they failed to catch any game, they could still use their military pay to buy two fat sheep in Dongxi Village, about 20 or 30 miles away, so they did not have to worry about food.
Moreover, without the winter wind, snow and severe cold, everyone has regained the joy of herding horses that they had a few months ago.
The most surprising thing is Qisheng, a pony less than one year old, but he is already as tall as an ordinary two or three-year-old horse, and he is also growing very strong.
But it never allowed anyone to ride on its back. Chu Xiaomu tried to test its leg strength several times, but was thrown off the horse's back each time, causing everyone to laugh.
