After Jian Ning finished her practice, Ma Xiaomai asked her what kind of Kung Fu she had practiced today, as he couldn't keep up at all. Jian Ning was taken aback by his question, and after thinking about it, it seemed that what she practiced was not Kung Fu, because she didn't use any internal force at all, but spiritual energy.
She felt as if she could strike something from a distance. She tried the technique she'd just practiced, and sure enough, she was able to focus all her spiritual energy on two fingers. She asked Ma Xiaomai to watch, then placed two fingers together and pointed them at the pile of bricks that had been removed by Mr. Ding Sanye and his son the day before. With her mind, the spiritual energy instantly transformed into a beam of light and struck the bricks.
"Boom!" Dust flew and the pile of bricks turned into mud in an instant.
Ma Xiaomai and the four little ones exclaimed in unison upon seeing this. Jian Ning herself was also shocked. She could actually use spiritual energy to hit objects from a distance, and her lethality seemed to exceed that of a laser sniper.
"Master, why did those bricks break? Was it you who did it just now?" Ma Xiaomai asked in confusion.
"Didn't you see a beam of white light?" Jane Ning saw it herself.
Ma Xiaomai shook her head.
Jane Ning asked the four little ones again, and they also shook their heads.
Could it be that only she could see that beam of light? Jian Ning suddenly remembered Wu Fengxian's demon-subduing pestle. It was clearly above her head at the time, but for some reason it shook and then fell down and hit Wu Fengxian on the head.
She screened the people who were present that day and found that the most likely person to help her secretly was Blind Liu. She had suspected him that day. She glanced towards the east room and thought about asking Ding Youtian later. If the booklet was given to him by Blind Liu, then it must be Blind Liu who helped her last time.
"What I practice is not martial arts. I haven't figured out what it is specifically yet. I will teach you when I figure it out. You can continue with what I taught you yesterday." After Jian Ning finished speaking, he reminded the four little ones to practice well, and then walked towards the kitchen.
"Cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck~" The hens' cheerful cries could be heard from the chicken coop that was reinforced by Ding Yang and Ding Jian yesterday.
The four little chickens all looked over, Guoguo was the first to rush to the chicken coop, followed by Ma Xiaomai. The two chickens were no longer afraid of Guoguo, and the hen still lay in the coop and cried happily when she saw him coming.
"Go away, let me take a look." Ma Xiaomai pushed Guoguo aside, reached into the chicken coop, felt under the hen's belly, and took out three eggs.
"Wow!" He lifted the egg and shook it towards the four little ones. "Your hen has laid an egg. I'll take it to Master."
He ran towards the kitchen. The four little ones couldn't move until they had stood there for a long time, and their eyes followed him all the way to the kitchen.
"Master, your hen has laid eggs, three!" Ma Xiaomai excitedly handed the three eggs to Jian Ning.
"Oh, it really laid an egg." Although it was not big, Jane Ning held it in her palm like a treasure and looked at it again and again.
She marked three eggs, took a few more, and boiled them in their shells. She told Ma Xiaomai, "These three eggs from our chickens today, you and Dabao will share one, and the other two will go to your four sisters. I've marked these three, so if I'm away later, you can share them with them. Remember not to take the wrong ones."
"Promise to remember and complete the mission resolutely." He put his legs together, snapped his hands, and saluted Jian Ning.
He just looks a little funny, not like a little soldier, but more like a little spy.
Jian Ning smiled and deliberately asked, "Where did you learn this? What is this?"
Ma Xiaomai grinned and said, "My father taught me this this morning. He said it's the same as bowing. Master, my father started practicing again this morning. I watched him practice it, and it's different from what he practiced before."
"Master knows everything your father knows and can teach you. But your father may not know what Master knows. For example, your father cannot do what Master just practiced. Master is a little bit better than your father, so you don't need to think about changing Master."
"I haven't thought about changing. Once a teacher, always a teacher." Ma Xiaomai really didn't think about changing his master. Here, he could practice with Jian Ning as an assistant teacher. Practicing martial arts with the four little ones made him feel more interesting and more motivated.
He went out to continue practicing.
Not long after Ma Xiaomai left, Ding Youtian came in. He got up and opened his eyes, intending to take the booklet from yesterday and look at it again, but he couldn't find it after searching the whole house.
Although he remembered clearly that he had left it in the kitchen yesterday, he still came to look for it with a try-it attitude.
"What are you looking for?" Jane Ning saw him looking around as he came in. She knew in her heart that he was probably looking for that booklet, but she still asked.
"Master gave me a booklet yesterday. I didn't see it when I woke up this morning, and I had to return it to Master in the evening. I don't know where I left it. It's really strange."
It turned out to be Blind Liu.
Jane Ning took out the booklet from her bosom and said, "It fell on the corridor."
"I thought so. I clearly didn't remember leaving it in the kitchen." He opened it and flipped through it. "I don't know what this rubbish is. There's not a single word on it. It says nothing about Taoist priests. My master even asked me to read it and tell him what I could see."
"Take a deep breath first, then put aside all distracting thoughts in your mind. Stare at the Taoist priest without blinking. Stare as long as you can and see what you can see."
Jian Ning demonstrated to him how to take a deep breath, and he did as she said. He calmed down and stared at the Taoist priest in the booklet without blinking, until he was about to cry, then he closed his eyes and raised his head.
"Didn't you see anything?" Jane Ning asked.
He shook his head, "My lady, have you seen it? But what did you see?"
"I thought it was dropped by Ah Man's followers. I opened it and looked at it for a while. The Taoist priests were able to move. It looked like a martial arts move, but it wasn't. I opened it without your master's permission. Do you think your master would be angry?"
"Not really. Madam, can you really see those Taoists move? Why can't I see it?" Ding Youtian didn't believe it and tried to take a deep breath. He looked closely until his eyes were sore, but those Taoists didn't move at all, as if they were against him.
"Forget it. It seems I need some wisdom. I'll tell Master that my wife can see the Taoist priest's movements and ask Master to lend her the booklet..." He stopped talking before concentrating on thinking, and continued, "Master once said that some people in this world who practice immortality can fly with a sword after reaching a certain level of practice, just like the immortals in Journey to the West that my wife mentioned. That Monkey King can fly in the sky on his somersault cloud, and immortals can also fly in the sky on swords. I used to be your master..."
He stopped talking again before he finished, glanced at Jian Ning, shook the book in his hand, and said, "My lady, please don't borrow this book. I believe you have wisdom. If you really become an immortal and fly away, what will happen to me and Dabao? It's better not to read it. This book is harmful."
"I didn't ask to borrow it. I don't want to be an immortal, but..."
"But what?" Ding Youtian suddenly became nervous.
"Nothing, I just thought it would be pretty cool to be able to fly with a sword."
"Enjoyable?"
"It's so refreshing! Just think about it, if I could fly in the sky, just like Brother Qiu, I could go wherever I want. It wouldn't take long to fly to the capital when I have nothing to do. Wouldn't that be so much easier?"
"What a joy!" Ding Youtian cursed unconsciously. "My dear, have you ever seen anyone flying in the sky in broad daylight? They might be mistaken for monsters and shot to death with arrows. Otherwise, I can't say this booklet is harmful."
"My husband, you are at least a scholar. How shameful of you to be so polite!"
