Chapter 218: Body Shape Changes, Xi Shaoqin Is Dead
After practicing the Six Paths of Whale Swallowing Art, the muscles on Shen Qing's body that swelled like mountains seemed to come alive and began to squirm under the instigation of true energy.
His body shape also underwent subtle changes as he squirmed.
This change is not like the previous practice of Ba Blood Kung Fu or Ling Feng Finger, which was just simple expansion and stacking, but began to be refined and reshaped.
Shen Qing's swollen muscles began to compress inward, becoming like bronze casts, with smooth lines, and their strength was also restrained.
After almost ten breaths, this change finally stopped.
Shen Qing lowered his head and looked at it. The clothes he was wearing became looser and much wider.
He knew it wasn't that his clothes had gotten bigger, but that his body had shrunk a bit and he was no longer as tall and strong as before.
Shen Qing sat up from the bed, raised his arms and clenched his fists.
He discovered that the explosive power originally hidden in his flesh and blood had not weakened at all, but had been enhanced to an unprecedented degree during this transformation.
Generally speaking, the bigger the martial artist, the better, and the bigger the muscles, the better.
Larger muscles mean more energy is consumed in daily maintenance, and the loss is greater, making it difficult to improve your cultivation.
Therefore, most people who practice martial arts do not train to death and only pursue muscle size.
Some martial arts masters will deliberately reduce their size and condense their true energy and energy when they become more advanced in their training.
Shen Qing did not expect that the Six Paths Whale Swallowing Art after Xiao Cheng would directly bring his body to such a state.
It was an unexpected surprise.
A smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
At this time, it was bright in the east, and there were already busy movements in the yard.
Shen Qing, who had not slept all night, did not feel tired at all. He only felt better than ever before. He was full of energy and seemed to have endless strength in his body.
He pushed the door open directly and walked to the courtyard as usual to give instructions on the martial arts of Tian Xiaohu and others.
During this period, after he provided martial arts to the court, their respective cultivation levels also improved by leaps and bounds.
Xiao Zhi has already begun to forge his skin, Tian Xiaohu has already forged his bones, and even Shen Shan, who was the last to learn martial arts, has reached the state of perfect Qi and blood and can stretch his muscles and strengthen his bones at any time.
In the quiet courtyard where the morning light had just begun to break, the three of them all got up early. Now they were facing the morning glow, practicing hard.
After seeing Shen Qing, the three of them began to take turns asking Shen Qing about his confusion in cultivation as usual.
"My boss, the Hunyuan Zhenfa that I practice emphasizes the unity of the inside and outside, so that the true energy can flow freely. However, after refining the bones, and when I practice recently, I always feel that the true energy is stagnant. I don't know why?"
Shen Qing's figure stood quietly in the courtyard like a touch of warm jade in the morning light. Hearing the words, he said with a slight smile: "Xiao Hu, the Hunyuan True Dharma is broad and profound, and the true energy may be stagnant or due to restlessness. You can try to practice while practicing. Beforehand, meditate calmly and let your mind become calm. Just like there are no waves on the surface of a lake, the true energy will flow freely. "
Tian Xiaohu suddenly realized what he said.
"Do you have anything else to ask?"
"No." The three shook their heads and replied.
Shen Qing ordered Tian Xiaohu: "Xiaohu, I've been patrolling several cities by myself recently, and I'm a little too busy. Go to the city and see if there are any reliable candidates to patrol the cities under my jurisdiction for me. Once there is one, You can notify me in time if there is any trouble.”
After these days, he found that Zheng Yuanqiu had not given him any intention to recruit new subordinates, and he still had to find a way during this gap period.
Tian Xiaohu looked stern and said, "I know, I'll go and do it today."
Shen Qing warned: "Money is not an issue, people must be reliable and not do bad things."
Tian Xiaohu nodded heavily in agreement.
…
In the next few days, Shen Qing returned to his usual life of patrolling and practicing, living a simple and practical life.
However, in a quiet life, Shen Qing keenly noticed that Dong Jing seemed to have intentionally or unintentionally distanced himself from him since that party, and was no longer as enthusiastic as in the past.
When the two met in the government office on weekdays, they would nod politely and exchange a few polite greetings at most.
He was a little confused at the beginning, but when he occasionally heard that Dong Jing, Xi Shaoqin and others stopped calling him when they were gathering, he understood what was going on.
He didn't care.
Everyone has his or her own ambitions, and it is normal for fate to come together and come apart.
The circles are different, so there is no need to force integration.
Instead of indulging in the vortex of warmth and coldness of human relationships, it is better to focus on improving your self-cultivation.
Shen Qing quickly put the matter behind him and focused all his energy on cultivation.
It's November in a blink of an eye, and the weather is getting colder.
After Shen Qing's inspection, he was wearing a thick cotton coat and a big cloak, and walked back to the Weiwu Si Yamen office, intending to hand in the value card.
When he walked into the Weiwu Si Yamen Office, Shen Qing found that many people gathered in a circle in the courtyard, seeming to point out something.
Curious, he grabbed a guard's arm and asked, "What's going on?"
The officer who was dragged by him was about to get angry and was a little impatient, but after seeing Shen Qing, he swallowed his complaints back.
"The chaplain of Group Four is dead."
Shen Qing's expression changed: "You said Xi Shaoqin, Xi Chasi is dead? He was so good, why did he die?"
"I don't know, everyone said it was a cat demon." The officer pointed to the front and said, "The body is placed in this yard. Chief Shen can go and see it by himself. Does Mr. Shen have anything else to do?" "
Shen Qing let go of his hand and looked solemn.
The officer whose arm he grabbed bowed and left quickly.
"Sorry, please make way." Shen Qing squeezed in and looked forward, his face changed.
The scene in front of him shocked him, even a little creepy.
The person who was sitting next to him a few days ago was now lying on a simple wooden board in an indescribable tragic posture.
His internal organs were almost emptied, empty, with only a large intestine left, hanging outside.
His whole body seemed to be eaten by something, even his face was gnawed beyond recognition, it was really horrible.
The many officers and officials of the Weiwu Division who were watching were shocked by the tragic scene, full of shock, fear, speculation and confusion.
For a time, everyone was talking about it.
"How could Lord Xi end up like this?" An older officer asked in a trembling voice, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Yeah, I heard that he was fine last night, how come he became like this overnight?" Another officer took over, his eyes lingering on Xi Shaoqin's body: "Could it really be... that cat demon killed him?"
"Nonsense! How could there be demons in this city? Besides, Xi Chasi is very powerful, it must be man-made!"
"..."
Shen Qing stood in the crowd, silent, observing coldly.
Yongzhou now feels a little uneasy.
"What do you think will happen next, now that Group 4 has no officer? Will they promote someone internally or recruit someone from outside?"
"This is all decided by the chief officer, how do we know?"
As everyone was talking about this, a long-serving servant came over, found Shen Qing and said, "Master, please ask Shen Chasi to come over."
"The chief officer is looking for me?" Shen Qing recognized that this long-serving servant was the subordinate of the chief officer Zheng Yuanqiu. He did not neglect it and directly bowed and said, "Please lead the way."
The long-serving servant nodded and said, "Shen Chasi, please follow me."
