"Green Mountain, from today on, you will learn how to use a gun with your elder brother, Yong Xiang." Teng Yunlong said.

  Teng Qing Shans marksmanship wasnt considered top-notch, but his actual shooting skills had long surpassed those of his uncle. He didnt want to waste any more time, so he smiled and asked in return: "Uncle, do you have any new techniques that you can teach me?"

  "This......" Tong Yongxiang was too embarrassed to speak.

  The shooting skills of the Heng familys village, are just those farm-style moves, what new ones are there? However, with the same move, different people display it, and the power is vastly different. Its just... this requires experience, not something that can be taught.

  Kan Tingqing and Qing Shan have already practiced before, their foundation is very good, theres nothing much to teach them.

  "Our Teng familys marksmanship is just that one set, only that one set, worth our whole life of hard work." said Teng Yongxiang.

  "Ive already understood the basics and some common sense, Ill think it over carefully myself," said Teng Qing Shan.

  Hong Yunlong and others looked at each other, but had nothing to say. At their level, there was nothing more they could teach Hong Qingshan.

  "Will you be exercising with the men of the tribe starting tomorrow?" Teng Yongxiang asked.

  "I was a little kid, still practicing alone in the woods on the west side." Teng Qing Shan had long been planning.

  ******

  Hengjiazhuang is located at the foot of Dayan Mountain and was built along the mountain.

  Because of its proximity to the mountains, whenever there is a heavy rain or strong wind, rocks occasionally roll down from the mountain. For safety reasons, on the west side of Tengjia Village, which is close to the mountains, rows and rows of large trees were planted. After thousands of years of growth, it has become a dense forest.

  Even if there are rolling stones, they will be easily blocked by rows of big trees.

  At this moment, in the forest, there is a child wearing a green cotton jacket, holding a green nan gun. Teng Qing Shan stands casually with his right hand stretched out flat.

  "Huh." His right hand grasped the end of the long spears handle with all five fingers, and he forcibly held it level.

  Teng Qing Shan closed his eyes and stood there, motionless.

  "What is this kid Qing Shan doing?" Not far away, Teng Yongfan and Teng Yongxiang were secretly watching, Teng Yongxiang whispered, "Yongfan, your son is holding a big gun, motionless. What kind of shooting practice is this? I dont understand it."

  "I dont know either." Teng Yongfan shook his head.

  "With a long spear like that, its exhausting to hold, Qing Shan is strong, but I estimate he can only last for a cup of tea, and then the spear will droop down." Teng Yongxiang commented.

  Having spent half his life on marksmanship, Teng Yongxiang certainly has the right to speak.

  Half an hour had passed... Teng Qing Shan remained motionless.

  An hour passed... Teng Qing Shan remained still as ever.

  "How is this possible?" Teng Yongxiang and Teng Yongfan, who had already finished their morning exercise, were shocked to find that Teng Qingshan was still motionless.

  "Go, its in the past." Chen Yongfan said.

  Teng Qing Shan stood still with his eyes closed, but strangely... his bodys muscles and bones emitted an extremely faint humming noise. Suddenly, Teng Qing Shans ears moved, and he withdrew his long spear. He turned to face the newcomers, smiling as he said: "Father, Big Uncle, how did you come here?"

  "Qing Shan, what are you practicing until now?" Teng Yongfan asked in puzzlement.

  "Whats the point of holding a long spear like that?" Teng Yongxiang didnt understand either, "You should be practicing thrusting and stabbing instead."

  Teng Qing Shan hesitated slightly in his heart: "Should I say it or not? If I do, Father and Eldest Uncle will probably be shocked. Never mind, Ill take a little risk and give them a slight warning." Teng Qing Shan said in a childish tone: "Father, Eldest Uncle! This is how Ive always trained. I think... no matter what weapon it is, theyre all just extensions of ones fists and feet. If I can master it, the spear will become a part of my body, and Ill be formidable."

  A childish remark, yet it stunned both of them.

  "Part of the body?" Tong Yongxiang and Tong Yongfan were both stunned.

  "This, this..." Teng Yongxiang suddenly exclaimed, "Yongfan, Ive heard of the realm man and gun as one before, what Qing Shan said, the long gun becoming a part of the body, is it... isnt that man and gun as one?"

  Heng Yongfans eyes also lit up.

  Man and gun united as one, the villagers of Tengjiazhuang had also heard of it, but no one knew how to achieve that state, after all, a gun is a gun, a person is a person, how can they be combined into one?

  "Green Mountain, how can a long spear become part of ones body?" Teng Yongxiang asked in succession, and Teng Yongfan also looked at his son.

  Teng Qing Shan smiled with satisfaction: "This is the method I was thinking of, grasping the gun handle and feeling its power. When you practice to this point, even if a fly lands on the handle, you can clearly sense it, then youre almost there." In fact, this method is the foundation of Tai Chi Fist, one of the three major internal martial arts of the previous generation - Big Gun Stake.

  Its easy to talk about big guns.

  Thats it!

  When practicing to the point where a single hair touches the spear, it can be clearly felt. When ones listening energy is sensitive to this degree, the spear is no different from ones own hands and feet.

  At this level, when they reach the battlefield and clash with their opponents weapon, its likely that in an instant, they can easily follow the opponents force, like a venomous snake, and slip into the opponents body, leaving a hole inside. A true masters killing move is always just one strike.

  From now on, marksmanship is the foundation of his survival, and he must lay a good foundation. This big gun stake is something he will definitely study carefully.

  There are two reasons why the long gun was chosen as a weapon. Firstly, in cold weapon combat, one inch longer is one inch stronger, and long weapons have an advantage. In a duel between two people, my long spear can reach you, but your sword may not be able to reach me. However, the longer the weapon, the more difficult it is to use.

  Secondly, Xingyiquan itself is a spear fist, and on spears, Teng Qing Shan himself has attainments.

  "Holding a gun, feeling the power of the gun?" Teng Yongfan and Teng Yongxiang exchanged a glance, both somewhat skeptical, but didnt say much, just entrusted a couple of words and left.

  Hong Qingshan smiled.

  The Big Gun Stake is recognized as one of the best methods for practicing gun in internal martial arts.

  "Weapons are always an extension of ones fists and feet! To master a weapon, one must first master their fists and feet to the highest level. Otherwise, whats the point of using a weapon? My Xingyiquan has already reached the level of a grandmaster, now its just right for me to practice with a spear." Tan Qing Shan smiled as he held his spear once again.

  Holding the gun with one hand, his body emitted a very faint humming noise once again.

  This is the sound of muscles and bones.

  "Spears for months, swords for years, guns for a lifetime! This shooting technique is the most complex. Although my fist technique has reached the realm of the grandmaster, my shooting technique still falls far short. The Xingyiquan Five Elements Fist itself is connected to the gun technique, from today on, I will start to derive the Xingyi Five Elements Gun through the Xingyiquan Five Elements Fist."

  In his heart, he had such a plan, but Teng Qing Shan understood that turning the Five Elements Fist into the Five Elements Spear was not something that could be accomplished in just three to five years.

  Many people spend their whole lives practicing shooting and still cant be considered a good shooter, which gives you an idea of how difficult it is to master.

  *******

  Time flies, and more than three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

  In the martial arts arena.

  "Mother, brother is practicing shooting in the woods, why hasnt he come back yet? Its almost time for lunch." The little girl with rosy cheeks asked her mother Yuan Lan.

  "Your brother practices shooting all day, like a madman, and says hes useless." Yuan Lans face had a hint of a smile, her son was so diligent and hardworking, as a mother she was naturally proud. Moreover, over the past three years, Teng Qing Shans reputation in Teng Family Village had grown bigger and bigger, with many things becoming more and more exaggerated.

  For example, character recognition, for good people in the clan, starting from the age of six, they have to start recognizing characters, at least learning the most basic 3,000 characters.

  Other children need to study for several years, but Tuen Ching Shan can learn it in just one month.

  For example, in practicing gunplay, Teng Qing Shan created the "Duan Da Qiang" (Big Gun Stance), which is actually a large gun stance. Elite members of the clan, such as Teng Yong Xiang and Teng Yong Fan, who were quite skilled in gunplay, discovered that after trying out the "Duan Da Qiang" for several months, their gunplay had made significant progress.

  Gun, seems to have had a spiritual surname.

  For example, take physical strength. Teng Qing Shan has been exceptionally strong since he was a child. At the recent annual festival, nine-year-old Teng Qing Shan astonished everyone by lifting a massive 600-jin stone in one breath. In comparison, another genius Teng Qing Hu could only lift 300 jin at the age of nine. Whenever people from outside villages mention Teng Qing Shan, they would exclaim "his strength is boundless".

  There are many legends about Teng Qing Shan. In short, in the Teng Family Village, Teng Qing Shan is a genius that appears once in a thousand years within the clan.

  In the forest.

  A young man in casual clothes held a green nan gun, looked up at the withered yellow leaves on the big tree, and kicked three consecutive lightning-fast kicks on the trunks of three large trees around him.

  "Rustle!" The big tree shook violently, and a large number of leaves fell from high above.

  When the first fallen leaf fell to a position three inches from his head, Teng Qing Shans hand moved with the Azure Wooden Spear!

  "Brush!"

  The entire spear instantly turned into thousands of arrows, and the shadow of the spear flashed across the sky. The top of Teng Qing Shans head was completely covered by the shadow of the spear. In just an instant, all the fallen leaves fell to the ground. If someone observed carefully, they would find that each leaf had a small hole pierced through it.

  "The fist collapses like an arrow, transforming the collapsing fist of Xingyiquans Five Elements Fist into a shadow-following-body spear technique, and it wasnt until today that it was fully mastered."

  Glanced casually at a large tree beside him.

  A long spear shook, and the long spear flashed out like lightning, "Puff!" pierced to death a caterpillar on the trunk of a large tree. However, the bark of this big tree did not have any wounds at all.

  Obviously, Teng Qing Shan stopped his spear the moment he killed the caterpillar, without even touching the bark. This level of control would have stunned people like Teng Yong Fan if they had seen it. In their eyes, this level of marksmanship was already unbelievable.

  But in Teng Qing Shans eyes, this was nothing.

  "Internal martial arts seniors have said that practicing spear requires a lifetime, and indeed its not in vain, this spear technique is really difficult! The so-called unity of man and spear is just the foundation for spear masters. The Xingyiquan Five Elements Fist has evolved into the Five Elements Spear Technique. Until now, Ive only managed to evolve Bengquan into Ruyinxingshen (Like a Shadow Following the Form) Spear Technique, and Hengquan into Hunyuan Yiqi (Mixed Origin One Breath) Spear Technique."

  Horizontal Fist, belonging to the Earth element, is the only defensive fist technique in the Five Elements Fist.

  The Mixed Yuan One Qi gun method is also a defensive gun technique.

  Teng Qing Shans shooting technique has no fixed moves, only a state of mind. Whether it is Tai Chi Fist, Xing Yi Fist or Bagua Palm, when they reach the peak, they all emphasize the state of mind. When the state of mind is right, every punch has great power. This shooting technique is the same.

  "Like a shadow, follow the form gun technique, the implied meaning is the same as the Bajiquans. To transform the fist techniques meaning into gun technique is extremely difficult, Teng Qing Shan spent three years of effort and only succeeded in mastering two moves."

  It can be said.

  For three whole years, Teng Qing Shan had been practicing these two moves. This was still due to the fact that he was previously a master of Xing Yi Quan.

  "An inch longer, an inch stronger. The same concept applies to the spear, with much greater power." Teng Qing Shan thought to himself, "These two moves, one for defense and one for offense. Now that my spear skills have taken shape, its time to test them out." With that, Teng Qing Shan turned around and headed home. It was about time for lunch anyway.

  PS: The master of Xing Yi is practicing his gun again, will he be more fierce? Hehe, lets wait and see...... By the way, dont forget to vote!
