Chapter 15: The Drunken Concubine, Jade Ring and Mandarin Duck Feet

The battle between Wu Song and Er Ruan was a fierce fight, and both of them were actually seriously injured.

Even though they have achieved great success in refining their essence, their defense and recovery abilities far exceed those of ordinary people, when they relax, they become listless, as if their energy and spirit have been drained away, and their entire bodies even begin to swell.

After all, they are human, not demons. Even if they are the reincarnation of great demons or gods, they are now trapped and dead in human bodies.

If you are wounded you will bleed, and if your head is chopped off you will die.

They all had bruised faces and noses, they didn't look like brave men at all.

Especially Wu Song, who fainted from exhaustion and needed to be well taken care of.

Cao Jie was not a stingy person. He took out more than ten taels of silver and asked Wu Da and Jiao Ting to get up early to buy a batch of chicken, duck, fish and meat. He then went to the pharmacy to buy some dietary supplements such as Panax notoginseng and ginseng.

As the morning glow rises, a red sun suddenly jumps out from the horizon, and a ray of faint morning light spreads across the vast land.

From the dilapidated two-story building of Wuhan University, smoke rises and the air is filled with fragrance.

There were seven or eight trays of steamed cakes in the steamer, and Panax notoginseng stewed chicken was simmering next to it. On the table were braised pork elbow, sweet and sour carp, lion's head and other dishes.

Cao Jie cooked the meal himself and everyone enjoyed the delicious food.

"Ji Lang, when is dinner?"

Jiao Ting was drooling and his stomach was rumbling. He had asked this question many times.

"Wait until the second and fifth brothers wake up! If you are hungry, eat some pancakes."

Jiao Ting swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "I'll bear it for a while, I only eat meat..."

After a great battle and staying up all night to rush back, even the toughest man was tired and needed sleep to recuperate.

After saying that, Cao Jie continued to stare at the boiling water under the steamer in a daze.

As the saying goes, when you are well fed and warm, you will think about sex. Now that Wu Song is in his hands, another famous figure from Qinghe County keeps appearing in his mind.

This hot water, this steam, is so white, so big, and so fragrant...

"I'm just curious... I'm not greedy for her body..."

"Logically speaking, she should have awakened her soul!"

…………

"Wake up, wake up!"

Wu Da's voice was heard from the room on the second floor.

Cao Jie came back to his senses, picked up the can of chicken soup, and went upstairs in two steps.

"How do you feel, brother?"

This voice sounded very familiar to Wu Song, but his nerves and mind were so dull that they were indescribably stiff for several seconds.

"elder brother……"

Wu Song's physical condition at this time was completely different from the vigor and vitality he had when fighting against the two Ruan brothers.

"It's okay, it's okay. The secret agent you shot is not dead. He was saved by Brother Cao."

"I thought I was dead, and I even had a fierce fight with two heroes..."

"If it weren't for Second Brother Ruan and Fifth Brother Ruan showing mercy, would you still be lying here and talking to me? Second Brother Cao is here, brother, this is Second Brother Cao Jie, my savior."

Looking at the young man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, Wu Song struggled to get up and greet him.

Cao Jie put the chicken soup can into Wu Da's hand, put his hand on Wu Erlang's shoulder, and said with a smile: "You are not well yet, so you don't need to get up yet. Drink the chicken soup to nourish your body. I am not good at medicine, but I am good at cooking and making soup. You can try it."

Wu Da poured a bowl of chicken soup and handed it over: "Brother, Second Brother Cao started cooking these delicacies before dawn, saying that taking medicine is not as good as taking food. Second Brother's medical skills are like those of a god, and he has brought the dead back to life."

"Second brother."

How could the ancients bear such a test? Wu Song was so moved that he said, "From now on, you are my brother."

Just after taking a sip of the soup, Wu Song suddenly remembered something and said, "The two heroes who fought me fiercely are also injured. This soup should be given to them."

"Don't worry, we have them all."

At this time, Ruan Xiaowu's voice rang out from the next room: "We've been drinking for a long time. Wu Erlang, try Cao Erlang's cooking later. It's so delicious that you can't give it up after trying it once. You have to follow him for the rest of your life."

Ruan Xiaoqi laughed next door: "We have so many big-bellied men, and we all rely on Erlang to support them! Wu Erlang, one more of you won't make a difference." "Erlang heard of your reputation and came to Qinghe County on purpose."

Everyone burst into laughter, and the room was filled with a happy atmosphere.

"If it weren't for my second brother, Wu Song would have had to flee to the ends of the earth. This is a blessing of rebirth! If my second brother doesn't mind my dullness, I'm willing to serve as a small soldier under my command and repay my kindness..."

"Okay, I have Wu Song, just like Zhaolie has Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. From now on, we brothers will share life and death and work together."

"We share life and death and work together!" everyone said in unison.

Wu Song then began to drink in big gulps. A warm stream flowed into his throat, and his stomach began to move violently. The delicious aroma of the food seemed to revive his entire throat and digestive system.

If a person who practices martial arts eats as much as he wants, his body will recover faster.

In just one day, Wu Song had recovered 50% to 60% of his injuries.

Refining essence is related to every aspect of the body. When reaching the peak state, it is possible to regenerate severed limbs.

Although Dasong regards pregnancy of the spirit as the most important thing, there is actually no superiority or inferiority among refining essence, nourishing qi and pregnancy of the spirit, and each has its own merits.

Even the legendary immortal realm requires the unity of essence, qi and spirit to achieve.

In the evening, the golden sunset shone in the yard, and Cao Jie and Jiao Ting were fighting.

Jiao Ting has thick skin and is not afraid of Cao Jie's punches and kicks, so he is suitable to be a sparring partner.

On the way from Yuncheng to Qinghe County, Cao Jie practiced Taizu Changquan to perfection, and he had reached the half-step minor success level of refining essence. Now he could perform combat operations in a very professional manner.

With a run and a step, a dense sound of bowstrings burst out from his body. He pressed forward and launched a full attack towards Jiao Ting.

The head-on attack, the long fist rolling and chopping, the seventy-two-move continuous slash, the mad arrow shooting!

Jiao Ting's defense was flawless and Cao Jie's fight was full of passion.

After several rounds, Cao Jie's breath became a little chaotic. He stopped and smiled at Wu Song who was standing under the eaves watching the fight:
"I'm sorry that I'm not good enough in my skills. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

Wu Song shook his head and said, "Brother, your medical skills are amazing. It would be better if you could learn some martial arts to strengthen your body."

Cao Jie wiped the white sweat from his forehead and said worriedly: "I think the world is going to be in chaos. Learning medicine can't save the people! That's why I want to give up medicine and practice martial arts."

"Brother is right. I was hanging out in Qinghe and there were quite a few ruffians who wanted to go up the mountain and become bandits... Alas! They couldn't survive!"

"No matter how the future changes, as long as we learn enough skills, we will be able to stand out one day."

"Second brother is right. I have a set of leg techniques. Would you like to learn it?"

"Yes!" Cao Jie laughed, "I want to learn hundreds of martial arts to bring peace to the world."

"Brother Shezha, you actually have such ambitions. I, Wu Song, have never thought about it. I just wanted to drink all day. Recently, following brother, I feel that I have understood life a little more and am no longer muddle-headed."

"Now that we have a goal, these hard days finally have meaning!" Cao Jie patted Wu Song on the shoulder.

Wu Song's specialty is the Yuhuan Step and the Mandarin Duck Kick, whose full name is "The Drunken Concubine Yuhuan's Step and the Mandarin Duck Kick".

Why are they called Yuhuan Step and Yuanyang Foot?
It comes from Tang Minghuang's beloved concubine Yang Yuhuan. The concubine was drunk and her steps seemed messy, but in fact they were more charming.

Yang Yuhuan was a dancer with a strong sense of body coordination and rhythm. When she was drunk, she became even more charming, which made Emperor Minghuang of Tang like her even more. It was truly like "Drunk in the emperor's arms, dreaming of the love of the Tang Dynasty."

When was Wu Song at his strongest?
When you are drunk, if you are 30% tipsy, your ability will increase by 30%. If you are 80% tipsy, your ability will increase by 80%. If you are 100% tipsy, you are really drunk.

Although it seems that he is staggering, his movements are actually well organized. When facing the enemy, he first uses the Jade Ring Step to confuse the opponent, and then uses the Mandarin Duck Kick to attack the opponent.

The part in the book where Wu Song beats Jiang Menshen while drunk is very vividly written. Wu Song first made a scene in the store and then threw Jiang Menshen's wife into the wine jar.

Jiang Menshen rushed over and saw that Wu Song was drunk and a little underestimated his enemy, so he started fighting.

Wu Song waved his fist in front of Jiang Menshen's eyes first, then suddenly turned and left. He expected that Jiang Menshen would rush forward, so he grasped the rhythm well, turned around and kicked Jiang Menshen in the lower abdomen with his left foot.

Jiang Menshen covered his stomach with his hands and squatted down. Wu Song turned around and kicked Jiang Menshen in the forehead with his right foot. The man fell to the ground. Wu Song stepped forward, stepped on his chest, and started punching him.

The whole fight was smooth, clean and neat.

However, compared with the 22 postures of Taizu's Long Fist passed down in the army, the difficulty of the Drunken Concubine's Jade Ring and Mandarin Duck Kick has increased by several levels.

Under Wu Song's patient and careful teaching, Cao Jie managed to master several skills.
