The mind is sometimes awake and sometimes confused in the darkness.
Vaguely, it seemed that Lu Hongti was carrying him on his back, whizzing through the forest. A soft touch.
"How did you find me..."
"How do you think I found your home? I put medicinal powder on you, and my Xiaoqing can track you. If you betray me... But this time you went too far..."
"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have fought so hard..."
"What?"
The flame was burning, and the yellow light illuminated the messy surroundings. The roof tiles above the field of vision were broken, and the statues were peeling off and collapsed. Lu Hongti squatted next to him, quickly untied the bandage on his left hand, and then took out
Medicine, a gourd filled with water, quickly treated the burns on his left arm, and the light shone on the attentive profile.
"I...I need pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and I want to write a letter...help send it to Jiangning City, my home...otherwise they will start looking for it, it's best not to look for it..."
"You still think about these things at this time."
"There is a friend named Nie Yunzhu who lives in... There is a two-story building over there. She lives there with her maid. It seems... I want to see if she is okay..."
"Noted it down."
"There are two people. There are two people who want to be killed. They are...in a courtyard near Xinlinpu. One is called Xiaosi..."
"Good guy or bad guy?"
"They want to kidnap my friend..."
"You have so many things going on."
His consciousness dimmed again, and when he woke up again, Lu Hongti brought some pens and ink, and his left hand had been bandaged. The other party seemed not to want to wake him up, but when he saw that he was awake, he helped him up and put the pen into his right hand.
.
"Can I still write?"
"Barely...okay."
"I really underestimated you before..."
"It just has to be done... Is my left hand useless?"
"If you hadn't met me, you would have been useless."
"Oh, thank you..."
"What on earth did you do before..."
"...I met a psychopath."
"Go to sleep and wait until I come back."
The figure whizzes away.
What happened next that night was unclear. The things that were on my mind had been spoken out, and then the fatigue came over me like an overwhelming force, overthrowing everything.
I woke up the next morning, my body still ached, and I was so tired that I felt like I couldn't get up at all. The sounds of birds were chirping, and the morning light poured in diagonally from the crack in the roof.
After all, he struggled to get up. His chest, shoulders, and left hand had all been put on new bandages, and his clothes had also been changed. The original one on his body was actually one that was found from the houseboat. There was no blood, but it was much larger. This is a mountain forest.
In the ruined temple in the middle of the room, when she walked out of the door, Lu Hongti was boxing in the woods ahead. She was wearing a black skirt, her clothes were flying in the morning light, but every blow she used was full of the iron blood of the battle.
And the aura of killing, the beauty of hardness and softness, the wind of fists and the roar of palms. This is indeed not martial arts in the martial arts world, this is the iron-blooded martial arts tempered in the battle formation. The morning light also tilts in the woods.
Ning Yi sat on the steps in front of the ruined temple and watched quietly. After a while, Lu Hongti calmed down and looked over, looking at him for a long time.
"Okay, I changed my mind."
"Um?"
"You do seem to have useful skills in martial arts, and you also have a good character."
"Ha." Ning Yi laughed, "This is the best news I have heard in these days."
"There is a set of exercises I can give you. You won't be able to become a first-rate person, but if you become a second-rate person, it will be enough to protect yourself. I questioned the mistress and his accomplices, and then took a look along the road you came here...
..." She shook her head and smiled, "It scared me."
"The rabbit is cornered and just bites people."
"All the things you said have been done. Your family was in a hurry last night. The little maid was jumping with anxiety. But she is not bad. She doesn't cry when she is anxious. She just told the servants to do something and go find someone. I will
You secretly put the note away for her to see. She cried immediately after holding it. Then she ran over to tell your wife that she was safe while crying, and even fell down in the process. The girl named Nie Yunzhu was also fine. When she went there, she was
sleep."
Ning Yi wrote on the note that he had left home for a few days because his friend had something to do. When the note arrived, Xiaochan and the others would not be too worried. Nie Yunzhu would be fine if nothing happened. As for the mistresses, it didn't matter.
Asked. The two sat on the steps for a while, and Lu Hongti said, "I'll cook you some porridge."
Lu Hongti probably lived in this broken temple for a while before. There was a broken pot. She also had an extra luggage package on hand. She probably put it somewhere in Jiangning, so she brought it out this time. The two of them sat in the broken pot.
After breakfast in the temple, Lu Hongti said: "Once you really learn martial arts, sometimes you can't help but use it to solve problems. After using it as a way to solve problems, you will become violent without knowing it. We
This is the only way over there, there is no other way, but you are different. If you encounter an enemy and you can avoid taking action, it is better not to take action in the end. You are knowledgeable and have a tough mind. I want you to promise me that you will understand when
We really should take action.”
Ning Yi thought for a while: "I don't like to rely on personal violence to solve problems. I promise you this."
Lu Hongti nodded: "That's good, I'll start teaching you later."
Ning Yi raised his left hand: "Can I learn like this? And I don't have any strength now. I am a seriously injured person."
Lu Hongti laughed out loud: "I'll teach you some basics first. You can write them down in your mind. If you have the strength, you can also write them down on paper. In short, you can't start practicing until you go back."
"Do you want to kowtow and become a disciple?"
"No need, I'm only teaching you second-rate kung fu anyway." Lu Hongti thought for a while, "Let's continue talking about the Dragon and the Eight Parts of Heaven in the afternoon. It's best to finish it during these days."
"Oh, okay."
In the days that followed, the two of them lived in that ruined temple.
In the morning, Lu Hongti talked to him about the cultivation methods of the second-rate kung fu, and occasionally made gestures and described various situations. In the afternoon and evening, Ning Yi talked about the Long Ba Bu that day, or chatted and talked about some random things.
It was almost the dog days of summer. It was hot during the day and night, and there were many mosquitoes. At night, Lu Hongti used some strange leaves to repel mosquitoes in the ruined temple, driving Ning Yi away, laughing and cursing a few words.
To put it more ambiguously, it felt like a poor couple who settled in this ruined temple. They really didn’t have much. The broken pot was used for cooking rice, vegetables and water. Fortunately, Lu Hong proposed to go out the next day.
One time, he came back with pots and bowls, but there was nothing except a baggage. In the evening, Lu Hong would give Ning Yi painkillers, one on his left hand and one on his chest and shoulders.
Yi couldn't do it with one hand, and Lu Hongti didn't care.
"I've seen all the men on the mountain. You're not good-looking, you're just a little sturdier than the average scholar." She always looked disdainful.
Ning Yi has been exercising for a year and has made himself a little stronger, but he still doesn't have much muscle. Naturally, he can't compare with a man who really fights in battle, but he feels that he is quite well-proportioned. He wanted to ask if he had looked at it from above or from below.
I've seen it all before, but it's a different era. You can't make this joke randomly, otherwise you might get beaten up. I have to admit in my heart that the other party, who seems a little embarrassed every time, is well-informed.
Bandaging people and applying medicine on the battlefield is probably a little different from bandaging people in this situation. However, Ning Yi stopped thinking about it occasionally.
There is a mountain spring not far behind the ruined temple. During the day, he would use gourds or bamboo tubes to fetch some clean water. Lu Hongti raised a green bird and liked a fruit with a special taste, so Lu Hongti took the fruit
If you turn it into powder and sprinkle it on someone, the smell will last for several days. If not, she wouldn't be able to find the city that night.
On the third day, there was a thunderstorm, and the small ruined temple looked like a ship about to sink in the pouring rain. Lu Hongti picked some dense branches and leaves to reinforce the top of the ruined temple, and then built it.
Ning Yi sat in the only dry corner of the ruined temple and chatted. Listening to Ning Yi's stories, he felt like the last two people standing guard in an overturned world.
Occasionally, Lu Hongti would talk to Ning Yi about Luliang Mountain, not in a complaining tone, but Ning Yi could probably guess how difficult life would be if the Liao army invaded. Lu Hongti probably now
She is leading one of the Luliang bandits, and the scale may not be very large. Her master is also a woman, very smart, but she went into danger in order to assassinate a Liao general. After succeeding, she was besieged and fought until she was exhausted.
He committed suicide in order not to be caught. This is probably why Lu Hongti refused to teach martial arts.
"Master is smart and powerful. If her martial arts weren't so powerful, I wouldn't even consider assassinating her. If she uses a strategy, she might be able to kill her. Even if she can't be killed, at least she won't die. If Master doesn't die,
With us later, we will probably be able to survive more people... Therefore, you should not be superstitious about martial arts. As you said, it is enough to understand things clearly. Smart people... don't take risks with your life and live.
More useful..."
People who have been on the verge of life and death pay more attention to this life and death. Perhaps it is also because after the death of the master, the burden fell on her shoulders. The weight she felt because of this, if you want to carry a small group, you don't need to be brave. Everyone.
This kind of organization and coordination are difficult. The more sensitive a person is, the more likely they will be able to feel these. Although Lu Hongti has not read a book, she is smart. Her master may have told her that she would say this at this time.
, not surprising.
So on the seventh day, Lu Hongti had probably finished teaching about the practice of martial arts, but Ning Yi hadn't finished that day. When she complained, Ning Yi said: "I also want to teach you something, maybe it will be helpful to you."
You are useful, I originally wanted to trade this martial arts with you."
"Huh?" Lu Hongti's eyes lit up, "Are they those weird doorways again?"
Although she had always said that Ning Yi's things were crooked, she also knew that Ning Yi's character might be reliable in some aspects. Since she could present it with such confidence, it would be useful to her. Ning Yi nodded: "
Maybe part of it is that it's a lot and very complicated. I didn't know much about your situation before. I haven't fully understood the system yet. I don't know if you can use it. So first of all, I know a few sets of martial arts. Maybe you can
For reference."
Lu Hongti frowned, thinking he was joking, and Ning Yi laughed: "Let's take a look at the head office. Maybe the stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. It's up to you to decide whether it's useful or not. Some things, such as vital points, are
, joint skills and so on should be relatively systematic."
Lu Hongti breathed out: "...I don't even know what you are talking about."
However, I'm used to it anyway. It's like molecules, atoms, chemistry, and physics. I often don't understand why he's crazy. He wants to teach himself martial arts... obviously...
