"Flying Stones" Technique
Zhang Qing is a formidable opponent in combat for his "flying stones" technique, although he is ranked average in the use of his primary weapon, the spear, in comparison with the other Liangshan warriors. His "flying stones" technique is to simply fling heavy pebbles and stones at certain points on the face of an enemy with the mere flick of a finger. His stones often strike the enemy with extreme accuracy and power and stun them with the pain which follows. He usually targets the nose, center of the brows, eyes or mouth. When the enemy is disabled after being hit, he will then proceed to finish off the enemy with his spear. His "flying stones" technique complement his elusiveness on horseback, as he often lures his opponents into a trap by feigning defeat and retreating. The opponent becomes an easy target when he comes nearer as Zhang Qing will attack him with the stones and then kill him. The only drawback of his technique is when his opponents manage to dodge the stones.

“Three million of such stones would be needed before the work was done. Three million stones of an average weight of 5,000 pounds, every stone cut precisely to fit into its destined place in the great pyramid. From the quarries they pulled the stones across the desert to the banks of the Nile. Never in the history of the world had so great a task been performed. Their faith gave them strength, and their joy gave them song.”
