Chapter 693 Ding Qi's Sword (1)
It was already midnight when Aqi, Chu Xiaomu and Xiaoying returned to the Dongzhong Army camp.
Chu Xiaomu thought of what the old man in Liucao Village said and couldn't sleep the whole night.
Xiaoying comes from Baihuading. She has lived with spirits such as Flower Fairy Sister and Xiaoxuan since she was a child. This is a strange thing in itself.
However, she had no spiritual power, nor did she have some characteristics that only alien spirits have. She herself said that she was different from spirits like Sister Hua. Although she couldn't explain the specific differences, Chu Xiaomu was certain that she was a human and not a spirit.
As for her origin, he thought that the Flower Fairy sister might have suddenly picked her up on the beach, just like his grandfather suddenly discovered Bai Yixing, the Snow Countryman. This was not impossible, and this was the only possibility that made sense.
But he thought, what if Xiaoying is really a spirit? What should he do? Can he still be with her? Do the rules of this world allow him to be with her? What if he is like General Biye and the Flower Fairy, and is bound by the rule that spirits cannot love and stay together?
In other words, what should I do if Xiaoying finds out one day that she is a spirit and doesn't want to be with me...
He was filled with wild thoughts and couldn't help feeling scared in the middle of the night.
Over the next two days, everything returned to normal.
Yu Aqi was busy with the affairs of the Dongzhong Army. He ran back and forth between the camp and the checkpoint every day. He seemed to be much busier than in the previous few days.
Xiaoying was still as lively and active as ever. She had actually become familiar with two of Aqi's guards and often made appointments with them to race horses on the flat ground near the military camp to see who could run smarter and faster.
Chu Xiaomu was peacefully recuperating from his wounds in Aqi's central military tent. After taking the medicine Aqi gave him, his wounds recovered very quickly and would be healed in three or four days.
He would also talk to Cheng Huang from time to time and ride it around the camp for a few laps.
Cheng Huang was already three and a half years old. According to the age of normal horses, he was not yet fully grown, but he was as tall as the other horses in the military camp. He was also becoming more and more majestic and strong, and the red bead on his forehead began to appear faintly, which made him stand out from the crowd wherever he went.
But this does not fit with Chu Xiaomu's personality. Although he often has a stubborn and arrogant character, he does not like to be too conspicuous. He does not like to be stared at wherever he goes, as if he were looking at a strange spirit.
Chu Xiaomu also took time to visit Ding Qi twice and found that his complexion had obviously begun to improve, his mood was better, he ate more, and his body was recovering little by little.
Ding Qi asked Chu Xiaomu about his time in Jinyang City. When he learned that Chu Xiaomu had fought with the current top martial artist of Cangmu Country, Jin Dao Hei Jian, he was very surprised. The young man in front of him, who was not much older, was completely different from when he first arrived in Bicheng. He also knew that Chu Xiaomu's mount was the divine horse Chenghuang, and he couldn't help but think that he might be another extraordinary person after Shenwu Bumie.
Ding Qi said, "The only one in Bicheng who can fight against Golden Blade and Black Sword is our general. The general is a spirit king. Although he has also opened the force, his most powerful skill is still spirit magic. According to my guess, if he hadn't been in a frenzy, he would be on par with Golden Blade and Black Sword. It's hard to say who is stronger and who is weaker. The second most powerful one is my fifth brother Yang Luo, but I guess he can only last about thirty moves against Golden Blade and Black Sword, no more than forty moves. As for the others, I guess they can only last about ten to twenty moves."
Chu Xiaomu nodded and said, "I fought four palm strikes with Golden Blade and Black Sword. Although his original force is also very strong, what is even more powerful is that his energy is cultivated in a very strange way, making it very difficult to resist. Fortunately, his stamina seems to be a little insufficient, probably because he has not fully recovered from the injury by the general." He thought to himself that it was fortunate that Golden Blade and Black Sword had not recovered from his injury, otherwise he might have died in Jinyang City.
Ding Qi nodded and said, "This is the strength of martial arts masters. The Force is the foundation of martial arts practice. The deeper and thicker the Force, the higher and more amazing the martial arts can be practiced. But if the Force is only strong, it is useless. For example, if you only lay the foundation but don't know how to build a house, it is useless. If you meet someone with weaker Force than you but much higher martial arts, you will inevitably suffer a great loss."
"Xiao Mu, you were able to take on four strikes from the Golden Sword and Black Sword without any obvious injuries. Your Force realm has at least reached the level of the Golden Sword and Black Sword, and it's possible that you've even surpassed him... It's really unexpected that you've achieved this at such a young age."
After Chu Xiaomu had fought with the Golden Sword and Black Sword for a few times, he knew that his Force should have reached the sixth level of the Reverse Waterfall, which was only available to the Golden Sword and Black Sword. Therefore, he was not surprised to hear Ding Qi's words. Moreover, Ding Qi was the first big shot to tell him this, so he was naturally very happy to hear it.
Ding Qi changed the subject and continued, "But you are the one who has the foundation but doesn't know how to build a house, and you hold the magic weapon but don't know how to use it. It's a pity..."
Chu Xiaomu sighed and said, "You are right, Ding Zhongjun, but practicing martial arts seems to be even more difficult. The master I worshipped only has spiritual power but not the Force, and he doesn't understand martial arts. Now that the Red Soldiers are rampant, even if I want to worship another master and learn properly, it won't work."
