Chapter 25 That year I cut the wind and rain with a knife
The most comfortable season in Fengyun City is not spring, but autumn. The cool breeze blowing from the Tianshan Mountains, golden pears hanging on the trees, and golden leaves will be dyed by the willow river.
Li Ye and Agui walked through the streets in the early morning. The quiet town had just woken up and had not yet begun a noisy and prosperous day. Only the sound of the wheels of the water truck rolling against the bluestone slabs intermittently.
Without the bowl on his head, Li Ye was not walking much faster, and each step was not much or less. In Li Ye's words, as long as he didn't work hard, he didn't have to run wildly.
After entering the husband's yard, passing through the path hidden by purple bamboo, he came to the house where his husband liked to be quiet. In front of him was a tea table made of Tianshan black jade, and there was still a daily pot of purple clay and red mud. There was a small charcoal stove next to it, and there was still a steam in the copper pot on the furnace.
Just don't see the sir.
Li Ye did not go to make tea, but let Agui stay here, watch the fire, and don’t boil the pot.
After walking around, I found Mr. in the cloister of the kitchen.
The gentleman pulled a rope under the eaves of the corridor and dried the marinated beef upwards. Each piece was thin and marinated very evenly. When the wind blew, it was filled with a faint spice and salty smell.
There was a pot of meat and a knife for cutting meat next to it. Li Ye picked up the knife in the pot and asked his husband: "Sir, this is not the New Year, why do you want to marinate so much meat? Also, why is this knife not like a kitchen knife?"
After saying that, he picked up the meat slices from the basin and hung them on the rope.
The gentleman glanced at Li Ye and continued to hang meat.
After a while, he said, "Aren't you practicing boxing from the old monk? You've only been there for a few days before you run out?"
"You have almost done your practice. In the words of Master, you have entered the school and will not make any breakthroughs in a short period of time. You will come back. You will continue to practice when you go to the mountains to collect herbs in a few days." Li Ye replied.
The gentleman nodded and continued, "Well, the matter of cultivation is not urgent. What the old monk said makes sense. The meat is only about fifty kilograms after drying it. When you go to the mountains and you can't find food, you can use it to help."
"Mr. I'm still thinking carefully. I'm thinking about what to prepare when I go to the mountains with Mr.," Li Ye replied with a smile.
The gentleman looked at him and thought for a while and said, "What do you like to eat? Go to the market tomorrow to buy more with you. After all, the mountains are hard, and there is not much to eat when you have to spend the winter there."
Li Ye looked at the husband and smiled and said, "Disciple knows, I will go to the market tomorrow. I will buy it together what the husband likes to eat."
The gentleman shook his head and did not reply to his words.
The two of them hung the last piece of meat, Li Ye picked up the basin and a knife and walked towards the kitchen.
The gentleman also went to the kitchen to fetch water, wash basin and knife, wash his hands, and then the master and apprentice returned to the hall.
When he returned to the hall, the water was ready to boil. Li Ye sat down and started to warm the pot, wash the tea, wash the cup, and add the tea water to the gentleman. In a moment, the tea fragrance was filled with mist and the fragrance of tea was everywhere.
Looking at the copper pot that was steaming out, Li Ye couldn't help asking: "Sir, I accidentally punched in the heavy rain yesterday. The fist qi broke through the rain fog and reached five feet away. Somehow? Can my Fuhu Luohan Fist also practice fist qi? Haven't you heard from the old monk master?"
The gentleman drank the tea in his hand and did not answer Li Ye's question.
Li Ye was anxious and asked again: "Has sir been trying it long ago? Can you solve your doubts with your disciple?"
The gentleman pointed to the cup in front of Li Yeqian and said, "Drink tea." Then he looked at the sky again.
Li Ye picked up the teacup, still confused. Just as he was about to speak, the gentleman pointed at the sky and said, "Wait for the rain!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the study room. After a while, he came out with a cloth bag in his hand and placed it on the stage, saying, "This is the gold coins brought by the owner of Hongxiulou. You asked Agui to take some of the old monk masters for you, and this is the rest."
Li Ye looked at the bag in front of him, thought for a while, stretched out his little hand, opened the cloth bag, and slowly counted out a hundred pieces from it and placed them in front of his husband.
He said seriously: "I have not paid tuition since I practiced with you. Besides, I still owe you a lot of money for herbs. I will give these to you first, and then I will give them to you later."
The gentleman looked at the gold coins in front of him and said nothing, but looked at Agui.
He said, "Take it to the study and put it in. I will go to Tianshan with Li Ye in a few days. I don't know when I will come back. When I am not here, I will hand over this yard to you, and I will use these gold coins."
Agui nodded, stepped forward to take the gold coins from the stage, and turned around and entered the husband's study.
The gentleman looked at Li Ye and asked, "How many days have you practiced in the Great Buddha Temple? What are your gains?"
"The realm has not improved. I occasionally felt it under the tree a few days ago, and I felt that my body was a little more sensitive than before." Li Ye replied.
The gentleman signaled Li Ye to let go, then reached out to observe the meridians, slightly circulated the true qi, and carefully observed.
"If your meridians were trickle before, but now your meridians were streams that could accommodate more water flow, do you understand this principle?" After closing his fingers, the gentleman looked at Li Ye and said.
Li Ye nodded and said, "No wonder he felt a little stronger these days. I guess the punch he punched in the rain is the same."
The gentleman took the knife that had just piece of flesh, wiped it slowly with a soft cloth, and said, "Aren't you asking what kind of knife this is? The length of an ordinary knife is about three feet long, and this knife is one foot and five inches long, half of the ordinary knife, and weighs only two kilograms."
Said Wu handed it over, Li Ye took it with both hands and looked carefully, and saw that the knife was shiny all over, brighter than his iron armor, but lighter than his iron armor. There were faint cloud patterns on the blade, and the blade was like autumn frost, revealing coldness.
The gentleman took it, slashed towards the fallen leaves outside the hall, and then put away the knife. Agui ran out of the hall and picked up the leaves that fell on the ground. He saw that a few of them had been broken into two pieces, the breaking point was neat and smooth, and the blowing blade was broken.
Li Ye took the leaves from Gui's hand, stroked the incision, and thought to himself: Can you do this with such strength?"
The gentleman seemed to know Li Ye’s intentions, so he put away the knife and said, “This knife is named Wuming. I got it by chance. I just thought that I would always have weapons when I went to Tianshan to collect herbs. This knife is not suitable for you. I will find another sword for you. If you have learned the Luohan Fist, you can practice my sword technique.”
Li Ye was happy after hearing this and replied, "This is going to cause trouble for the sir."
As I was talking, the sky suddenly became dark clouds and sunny, a strong wind blew, and heavy rain poured down.
The gentleman looked at Li Ye and said softly, "Look carefully." After that, he stood up, pushed away the chair, waved his sleeves, and walked into the wind and rain.
Li Ye and Agui opened their eyes wide and saw the gentleman holding a black knife. When he stepped into the rain, a faint light surrounded him. He walked to a stone platform in the middle of the yard, stood up, raised his right hand and waved his knife to slash the bamboo forest ten feet away...
A sword energy passed by, forming a stream of air in the heavy rain, chopping on a purple bamboo dancing in the wind. Putting down the knife on the stone platform, the gentleman walked back towards the hall.
It was neither too slow nor too slow, one or two feet, just like Li Ye's usual steps, the gentleman returned to the front of the tea table, sat down, picked up the copper pot, added water and charcoal. The purple bamboo cut in the distance fell down until then.
Agui was stunned and forgot to close his open mouth.
Li Ye turned around and noticed that there was no drop of rain on his robe and hair on his clothes. He thought to himself: Is this the legendary body protection true energy?
The gentleman looked at Li Ye's thoughtful look and said, "This is the strengthening of true qi, called Gangqi. Logically speaking, you can release the true qi after building the foundation, but I don't want you to bully others with your skills, so I didn't teach you to practice. Since you have realized it yourself in the rain, you can try to practice the true qi leaving the body and Gangqi protects the body."
Li Ye was delighted, left the tea table, rolled up his sleeves, and rushed towards the storm.
I was thinking about the true energy in my meridians, and Li Ye, who was like a gentleman, had just rushed into the rain and was dripping with a chicken.
But he didn't care at all, but his energy sinks into his dantian, his body is covered with horses, his front hand is like a bow, his horse stance is steady, and he fights the Tiger and Arhat Fist in the courtyard.
The Tiger-Subduing Arhat Fist means controlling the dragon and tiger, refining oneself and maintaining one's heart, harmonizing yin and yang, gathering the great and righteous energy of heaven and earth, and masculine energy and the power of the soul, just like a Vajra Arhat, invincible and invincible.
When the momentum is started, the storm and storm hits the body, making the fists and feet unable to stretch, and the energy cannot flow outside the body as usual.
After I hit it once and then the second time, the meridians in my body seemed to have woken up, and a faint true energy rushed out of my body. Whenever I swung out, a white air flow hit the rain and fog with the force of the fist. It was just that the heat was not bad, and the Qi could not protect the body.
The fight was so exciting that Li Ye picked up the black knife that his husband placed on the stone platform, punched the knife with his left hand, and waved the knife with his right hand, not caring about the distance between the knife.
Suddenly, the punch that I had in front of my house yesterday appeared in my mind. My true energy gathered in my right arm, imitating my husband's appearance, and slashed at the bamboo forest with all my strength...
This knife was not amazing, and even when Mr. Li Ye talked about it many years later, he could no longer remember it.
However, this knife gathers all the true energy of Li Ye’s third level of foundation building, condenses the essence of Li Ye’s introduction to the Tiger and Arhat Fist, and gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at this moment.
This knife cut through the heavy rainstorm, condensed a white sword aura, and slashed into the purple bamboo forest two feet away.
I saw more than a dozen purple bamboos in the storm, cut off in half and fell neatly to the ground, just like the rice harvested in autumn.
Seeing the sword he swung, Li Ye was stunned.
Looking at Li Ye cutting through the rain fog, the gentleman and Agui were stunned and could not speak for a long time.
Li Ye held his fist, held the knife, and stood in the rain.
At this time, the storm in the sky washed his thin body, and large raindrops dripped down the nameless blade to the ground.
The black hair tied with silk thread was already scattered on the shoulders. Although there were raindrops, it was blown away by the strong wind.
