I survive in the weird Liaozhai

In the early morning, in the backyard of Qingyang Temple, a shirtless young man was doing boxing under the old tree again.

There is really no shortcut to learning Kung Fu. It's just a matter of training hard in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer.

If you want to become stronger and avoid being beaten to death, then you have to practice hard, practice desperately, practice until you are exhausted, practice until you feel like vomiting, then... then you are probably not far from death.

Alas! Martial arts requires talent.

Haven’t you seen how Li Xiaoyao in “The Legend of Sword and Fairy” learned the Shushan sword-wielding technique in three seconds and became invincible in less than a year?

If you try replacing it with someone who has no talent, it will probably be the same until death.

It is even possible that even if you hand over the secret manual to someone, he still may not understand it.

For example, Shi Long, the number one master in Yangzhou in “The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty”, wow, wow, wow, what a miserable person he is.

"The Secret of Immortality" is awesome, right? It's a peerless secret book written by Huangdi's teacher Guangchengzi. But... I haven't figured it out even after more than ten years of studying it.

Finally, he replaced them with two talented gangsters, and within a few years, he became invincible again.

There are too many examples, so in short, talent in martial arts is more important than hard work.

Fortunately, Gu Nian'an has always had good talent, and he was able to figure out some tricks from a humble book called "Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist".

But no matter how talented you are, you will be helpless without martial arts secrets!

Li Xiaoyao is invincible because he has the "Shushan Swordsmanship".

The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty were invincible because they possessed the "Secret of Immortality".

Why don't you try changing them to the "Iron Shirt" and see if they can become indestructible?

As for creating your own martial arts, haha! Don't be ridiculous, that requires a high level of planning.

Only when you have studied martial arts thoroughly, or at least read many martial arts secrets and have a certain understanding of martial arts and the human body, will there be a slight possibility.

Otherwise, the person who created the martial arts in the morning will die at noon, and his death will be very unpeaceful.

So Gu Nian'an is a little helpless now. He has really reached his limit. In the past few years, he has almost mastered the "Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist" to perfection.

But this thing is not up to standard. If you want to go further, you must find some better martial arts secrets for reference.

But this is a bit embarrassing. Third-rate or even higher martial arts secrets are not easy to find.

Moreover, Gu Nian'an really didn't dare to go down the mountain and wander around.

This experience of going down the mountain told him that the world might be more dangerous than he thought. No one could tell how many monsters and demons there were in the complete world view of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".

It’s a vicious circle, a vicious circle. There’s really no good way to solve it for the moment.

So just practice first. It doesn’t matter whether you make progress or not. If you are lazy for a long time, it will be funny when your martial arts skills regress.

"Brother, it's time to eat."

Suddenly, a sweet shout came from the side.

Sigh! Sometimes when practicing martial arts, I really don’t have any concept of time. It’s already gone in the morning.

"Junior sister, you eat first. I'll take a shower, change clothes, and come right over."

Looking at the cute and lovely junior sister standing at the kitchen door, Gu Nian'an always felt his legs and feet trembling.

Women, regardless of age, are particularly keen on shopping.

Yesterday morning, no…it should be said that he spent the entire morning “shopping” with his junior sister.

Oh! Women are really scary.

After a while, Gu Nian'an cleaned up and walked straight into the kitchen. He looked around and saw that there was only Junior Sister and Master.

After a moment's silence, he asked, "Junior sister, are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

When the little girl mentioned Taoist Qi Yuan, she became a little depressed.

"Well, Master has not been feeling well since yesterday. I just went to see him and he didn't look very well."

Hearing this, Gu Nian'an frowned.

"Then you eat first, Junior Sister. I'll take some food to see Master."

The little girl stood up and took out a tray from behind the stove. On the tray were a bowl of porridge, a plate of pickles and two steamed buns.

"Brother, I have prepared everything and am planning to send it to Master later."

Gu Nian'an walked up slowly and touched the little girl's head.

"Okay, let's go together."

Arriving at the door of Taoist Qi Yuan's room, Gu Nian'an knocked on the door, three soft sounds: dong, dong, dong.

After a while, the old Taoist's somewhat weak voice was heard from inside the house.

"Come in, the door is unlocked"

The two pushed the door open and entered.

At this time, Taoist Qi Yuan was half lying on the bed with a pale face. Seeing his two disciples coming in, the old Taoist supported himself on the bed with both hands and tried to sit up with some difficulty.

Seeing this, Gu Nian'an hurried forward to support him, but as soon as he touched the old Taoist's hand, his expression changed slightly and his brows frowned.

The Taoist master's hands were too cold, something was wrong.

"Master, where are you feeling uncomfortable? Let me take a look at you."

The old Taoist held himself up and waved his hands.

"It's okay, it's okay. I know the condition of my body well. It's just that I've been running around and hurt my energy. I'll be fine in two days."

Gu Nian'an ignored the Taoist's explanation and placed his right hand on the Taoist's somewhat skinny wrist to diagnose the problem carefully.

The pulse is a little weak, but the beats are relatively stable. Yellow skin, sallow complexion, pale lips, and fatigue are symptoms of deficiency of both Qi and blood.

"Junior sister, please take care of Master first, I will be back soon"

After giving instructions, Gu Nian'an stood up and ran out quickly.

The old Taoist wanted to stop him but Gu Nian'an was too decisive. Before he could say anything, he had already disappeared.

However, at this time, Taoist Master Qi Yuan was still quite moved. He felt that the past ten years of raising this disciple was not in vain.

Gu Nian'an picked up the kitchen backpack and went straight to the mountain to collect some medicinal herbs.

It seems that the old Taoist is seriously ill this time. He is too old to withstand the hardship, so he needs to recover as soon as possible.

He was very familiar with the hills within a radius of dozens of miles, so it wouldn't take too much time to find them. He also had a rough idea of ​​where the medicinal herbs grew, so he should be able to find them all as soon as possible.

Gu Nian'an was agile and moved through the mountains and forests, always finding the most suitable place to land with every step.

After all, I've walked here hundreds of times in the past six years, so it's hard not to be familiar with it.

One reason why we need to know the surrounding environment so clearly is for hunting.

On the other hand, he has no sense of security. If he doesn't understand his own territory, he won't be able to sleep well.

But it turned out that caution was necessary, about three years ago.

He found a "big tiger" on a hilltop five or six miles away from Xiaoqingfeng.

When Gu Nian'an saw the guy from afar, he was stunned.

This...~~ Is this thing really a tiger?!?

It must have grown up eating feed. It was a huge worm that was over two meters tall and six or seven meters long. It really opened his eyes.

Later, Gu Nian'an fought a battle of wits and courage with the giant insect for two months before he barely managed to drive it away.

As for killing the tiger, you were overthinking it. The long insect was not only a good fighter, but also very smart. It ambushed him several times. If he hadn't been cautious, he would have turned into a pile of feces.

Later, we had to use bows and arrows to remotely disrupt its feeding and finally drive it away.

Tried to shoot it with a bow and arrow, but couldn't get past its defense, which is fucking ridiculous.

Now that I think about it, that fight with the big tiger was actually quite interesting.

The tiger chased him, and Gu Nian'an climbed a tree and ran away.

The tiger ran away, and Gu Nian'an climbed a tree to chase it.

The tiger was hunting, and Gu Nian'an shot arrows to interfere.

Gu Nian'an was eating when a tiger attacked him.

The tiger was sleeping, and Gu Nian'an shot an arrow to attack it.

Gu Nian'an was sleeping when a tiger climbed up a tree and attacked him.

The man and the tiger went back and forth in an area of ​​dozens of miles for seven or eight days.

In the end, Gu Nian'an was almost out of ammunition and food, and was extremely exhausted.

The tiger hadn't eaten much for seven or eight days and was so hungry that it was just skin and bones. It was really terrible.

Later... ~ Later, the big tiger couldn't bear it anymore, so he decided to make a living far away from Xiaoqingfeng's mountain.

After that, Gu Nian'an went to the nearby hills to check almost every few days. Only after he found that the big tiger had really moved did he feel a little relieved.

After all, he would not allow others to snore beside his bed. He would have to keep an eye out even when this thing was hovering around him.

In fact, he was not too diligent in sweeping the mountain, probably only a small raid every five days and a big raid every ten days, and he even had to take a holiday during the holidays.

However, he did not cause too much killing. If he thought there were any dangers, he would just try to expel them and would not kill them all.

Maybe it’s because I’ve died once (traveling to another world is almost the same as dying in a confused state), so I still have some awe for life.

Soon, in about an hour, Gu Nian'an had obtained all the necessary medicinal materials.

Go down the mountain quickly. Illness cannot be delayed. The sooner it is cured, the more at ease he will feel.

After returning to Qingyang Temple, Gu Nian'an skillfully handled the medicinal materials, and then began to prepare the medicine with swift hands and feet.

Two hours later, he personally helped the Taoist priest drink the medicine.
