Chapter 37 Harvesting Evil Spirit
"The breathing method is the key to transforming whole strength into power, and this breathing method is still a part of the Spirit Ape Great Strength Skill. It can only be taught after being promoted to an apprentice..."

Try monkey breathing in your own bed.

Short, fast, slow and gentle, there is a frequency that seems to be able to mobilize the strength of the whole body.

"Convert all your strength into strength..."

Practiced for an hour.

Chen Ku looked at the breathing method and finally understood what Hua Jin was.

"To transform strength is to adjust the strength of the whole body into one through the mysterious breathing method. When one moves, the whole body moves. Strength is dead, and a thousand pounds of force is also dead strength."

“But the power is different.”

"If you can turn your strength into power, and the power reaches all four extremities, you can hit whatever you point at!"

"The so-called four extremities are fingers, tongue, hair, and teeth."

“Once the strength is turned into power, even fingers and tongues can hurt people.”

Do not know why,

Chen Ku thought of a peach-clothed killer wearing a long gown.

"No one would kill someone with their tongue for no reason, and it's not considered dirty."

Putting aside this rather ridiculous idea, one has to admit that when the strength reaches that level, the realm is truly terrifying.

"This Spirit Ape Breathing Method is actually only a breathing method for the stage of transforming strength into energy. Next, we need to open up the 'Three Combinations' before we can cultivate internal energy."

"The so-called three combinations refer to three levels."

"Combining moves and strength, this is the first combination, which requires the 'secret fighting method' to achieve.

The 'White Ape Knocking Mountain Stick' and the 'Bone-Cutting and Butchering Knife' taught to me by Master Ke are the stairs to the roof in this level.

The secret fighting style allows people to experience the "combination of moves and strength". Each move contains a kind of secret strength. "

“The second combination is called the combination of strength and intention, and requires a fundamental diagram to be taught.

It contains the purest "divine will" of our martial arts. Only by experiencing this divine will can one be said to have mastered the foundation of martial arts."

"The third combination is the combination of mind and qi. This involves the stage of internal qi."

"This breathing method does not record what is needed to 'combine mind and qi'. It seems that it is intentionally concealed. But I guess it is related to the inheritance of the 'Qigong Secret Book'."

Chen Ku looked at the division of strength training stages from the "Spiritual Ape Breathing Method" and could only sigh:

"The Spiritual Ape Great Strength Exercise has been broken down into not only standing exercises and moves, but also breathing techniques, secret fighting techniques, fundamental diagrams, and subsequent qigong techniques... This shows how carefully and cautiously each school and sect takes care of their own heritage."

I practiced the breathing method for an hour.

Chen Ku could indeed feel the strength in his body being vaguely mobilized according to his breathing, but the process of this mobilization was extremely slow.

Even when he activated the Thin Dog Transformation, it was still extremely slow.

"Is there no fine dog breathing method?"

Chen Ku sighed inwardly:

"Now that I have activated the Thin Dog Transformation, the process of converting 1,800 kilojoules of energy into 'internal energy' through breathing must be slower than for others."

He couldn't help thinking:

"I practiced the 'Dog Fist' with the Thin Dog Transformation, and made rapid progress. This is due to the fact that I can use the same method to improve the form."

"Since this breathing method is called the Spirit Ape Breathing Method."

"That must be derived from the breathing of apes. Warriors generally create their own methods in this way, observing the strengths of the world, mountains, rivers, beasts and spirits to improve the upper limit of humans."

"If this is the case..."

Chen Ku thought to himself:

"If I can cultivate 'Ape Transformation', will the speed of practicing the entire Spirit Ape Great Power be incredibly fast, or even tailor-made for me?"

Thinking here.

"Monkeys and apes are two different things."

"Otherwise, this martial art should not be called Spirit Ape Great Strength Kung Fu, but Ape Great Strength Kung Fu."

Apes have always been a higher level than monkeys.

Monkeys have tails, but apes do not. Apes are intelligent and closer to humans.

"ape?"

Chen Ku pondered in his heart, where can he find an ape to kill and transform into another transformation of himself?
Thinking about it.

"sleep."

Lying on the comfortable single bed, Chen Ku took a rest.

Because it suddenly occurred to him.

Before leaving, Ke Yansheng said that tomorrow he would be able to follow the masters and seniors in the slaughterhouse to prepare animals by himself.

Help slaughter cattle and dogs to obtain ox gall and dog treasures.

This is what the apprentices have to do. Before, Chen Ku would come to the butchering house to help, but it was not his turn to do the butchering himself. Because this obviously involves the teaching of the "bone-cutting butchering knife", and the guys don't have this blessing.

Now, he has to learn the knife for cutting bones and butchering cattle.

You are now qualified to take action.

"Perhaps, there is a chance that I can come across an ape in the slaughterhouse? Let me kill it?"

Yaowangtang claims that everything can be used as medicine. Not only does it have its own "hunting team" that goes into the mountains, it also collects medicine and animals throughout the county.

Chen Ku thought that instead of searching blindly on his own, it would be better to lean against a big tree to steal the evil spirit.

"As a last resort, even if I don't encounter an ape in the short term, let me kill it. At least I won't have to worry about the evil spirits in the slaughterhouse in the future."

Animals will die when they are killed, and nothing can remain calm while being slaughtered, especially wild beasts.

He had experienced this when he was slaughtering a pig. If he hadn't been very strong, he would have been almost knocked flying. The evil spirit was so strong that it was astonishingly strong.

The same is true for slaughtering in the slaughterhouse.

I guess, tomorrow, it will be time for the Greyhound to reach the third level.

……

The next morning, after Chen Ku washed his face and went out, he saw an apprentice coming out of the front room first, showing a hint of kindness to Chen Ku:
"Hello, Brother Chen. I'm Sun Zhuang."

This man was a bit bloated and fat, and it seemed like he had made the right decision to come to the slaughterhouse, as he looked like a butcher.

"Hello, Brother Sun."

"Brother Chen, how about we have breakfast together first?" Sun Zhuang walked over as if he was familiar with everyone.

Chen Ku thought about it for a while, and looking at the other party's reaction, he guessed some of the content.

That is, in yesterday's monthly exam, he got first place in both subjects. Although it cannot shock the entire Medicine King Hall, at least among the apprentices, everyone knows about his existence.

Naturally, people will come to make friends.

Chen Ku did not refuse and said with a smile: "Okay."

After a while, we arrived at the cafeteria.

As usual, he lined up in one of the three queues, but after only a month, he was in the middle queue.

It seemed as if he saw someone paying attention to him.

Chen Ku looked at it and was slightly stunned.

It was Zhang Erniu and Huang Wenbao, roommates who had shared a room with him. When they saw him looking back at them, their reactions were different.

Huang Wenbao's smile was fake and it was obvious that he had already dragged Chen Ku into the group of apprentices who needed to be flattered.

Zhang Erniu's face turned pale, unable to hide his disappointment, and he forced a smile. It was obvious that his efforts had not been rewarded and that the blow he had suffered in life was too great.

Chen Ku nodded to them but didn't say much. He was not good at comforting others. At this time, there was no need to feel anything. Everyone was just trying to survive and seek promotion.

The apprentice's breakfast today consists of boiled eggs, eight-treasure porridge, steamed buns, and seven or eight kinds of pickles. This kind of meal would have been considered sumptuous even in his previous life.

Looking at the waiter's breakfast, it is rather simple. Although it is better than what the people in Dachen Village eat, it is just pickled vegetable steamed buns and a bowl of white porridge.

Chen Ku took ten eggs, five steamed buns, a large bowl of porridge, and some pickles and ate until he was seven-tenths full, just right. Then he exhaled and thought to himself:
"I wonder what the owner of Yaowangtang eats every morning. What does the magistrate of Baojiao County eat?"

The last time I was eating stew, I envied the apprentices’ meals and the masters’ meals.

Now that I’m eating the meals of an apprentice, I find that I can’t even imagine what a real big shot eats?
The happiness of rich and powerful people, at least for now, is simply unimaginable to him.

Finished breakfast.

Sun Zhuang brought Chen Ku to the slaughterhouse and said to Chen Ku:

"Brother Chen, Master Ke told us yesterday that you have been taught the 'Ox-butchering and Bone-cutting Knife', so you can help us slaughter cattle and dogs. It just so happens that ten cows and twenty dogs were delivered today. There is about a 50% chance that they can produce ox-bile and dog treasures. There are three apprentices in total who are responsible for slaughtering cattle and dogs. Each of them will be assigned three or four cows and seven or eight dogs. You can first watch me and another person use the 'Ox-butchering and Bone-cutting Knife'..."

After that, the two came to the slaughterhouse. Chen Ku looked at another apprentice in the workshop, a big man with a dull expression, who had already started slaughtering.

A sharp bone-cutting knife was moving back and forth in the dissected cow's stomach like a butterfly flying through flowers, performing the "jie" technique used in the cow-butchering and bone-cutting knife.

"Do we have to kill so many cows every day?" Chen Ku asked softly.

"These are medicine cows, born to be killed."

Sun Zhuang patted Chen Ku on the shoulder:

"Let's get started. Sword skills are something that can be acquired through practice. The more you kill, the more practice you will have. Your sword skills will become perfect. Therefore, the apprentices in our butcher's house are the ones who learn kung fu the fastest."

Chen Ku watched Sun Zhuang busy himself.

He also spotted a cow in the cowshed, picked up a knife, and slowly walked over.

Moo~~
Faced with the threat to life, it is not difficult for it to develop evil spirits.

soon.

This morning was spent in the process of slaughtering dogs and cows. Chen Ku was unlucky and failed to obtain ox gall and dog treasure.

but.

The evil spirit of the third level of the greyhound's transformation is enough.
