The young man is chivalrous and makes friends with heroes from all five cities. He has a hole in his liver and gallbladder, and his hair is standing tall. During the conversation, he agrees on life and death. A promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold. He is brave and bold. He is lightly supported, flying together, fighting against the east of the city. Drinking wine, spring scenery The floating cold urn sucks the sea and the hanging rainbow. The eagles and dogs are chirping leisurely, the white feathers are picking up the carved bows, the cunning holes are empty. The joy is in a hurry.
It's like a dream of a yellow beam, saying goodbye to a red phoenix; the bright moon is shining together, and the solitary ponchos are floating in the sky. The officials are redundant, and they are full of resentment; the cages falling from the dust are like a collection of books. I'm thinking of the sad old man. He doesn't ask for a long tassel, but takes the talent of a genius. His sword roars in the west wind. He hates climbing mountains and facing water. He sends a seven-stringed tung tree in his hand to see him off when he returns home.

…
While Bai Fu was soaring and circling, he saw a cave on the cliff opposite. There were two stalactites at the entrance of the cave, one was like a lion and a tiger, and the other was like a turtle lying on the beach. This cave was the Turtle Lion Cave where Bai Fu had lived for three years. .
Passing through the Guishi Cave is the Yincui Valley, filled with flowers, fruits, birds and animals...
Bai Fu shook his head and stopped his thoughts. When the geese return to the south, it is difficult for people to come back...
…
Returning to the Ghost Oath Platform again, Bai Li and the two said goodbye to the enlightened beast. Bai Fu said: "Thank you for the gift of the tripod, senior. The mountains are high and the rivers are long. After I finish handling the secular affairs, I will return to the valley to keep my senior company!"
The enlightened beast touched Bai Fu with its head, let out a tiger roar, ran down the canyon, and disappeared among the mountains in an instant.
…
After leaving Qingcheng, Bai and Li headed towards Chengdu.
Along the way, Bai Fu told Li Xuexuan exactly what he had learned about the mystery of the Nine Cauldrons. He also taught Li Xuexuan the cuneiform and oracle bone inscriptions he had sorted out from Prince Yin's mansion and the remaining stele in the Forest of Steles.
In addition, Bai Fu dismantled the martial arts he had improved in Lihentian, move by move, to Li Xuexuan.
In prison for three years, Bai Fu played the following blind chess game, playing against himself in his mind every day. Many unnecessary moves were deleted, crushed, rearranged and created by Bai Fu:
Which move can be more powerful, which style can be simpler, which pace can be faster...
Bai Fu refers to tiger hunting, mobilizing every muscle and condensing the whole body's strength into one place. Once killed, the momentum will be domineering and powerful;
Imitate the swooping of an eagle, design the most perfect arc and trajectory, spread out your body skills, and look like a ghost. Hiding under the nine earths and attacking above the nine heavens;
Imitate the way a lizard sticks out its tongue to catch insects. It is ready to strike and fires with every inch of force. The sword is drawn out like the blink of an eye. The sword is so fast that it is almost invisible...
Li Xuexuan said: "Senior Brother Fu, why are your new martial arts almost all offensive and rarely defensive? If so, wouldn't the offense and defense be unbalanced?"
Bai Fu said: "Good question!
When Master Zhongji taught me the art of war, he said: The best art of war is to kill others without killing them. Attack is the best defense.
Invasion is like fire, exposing the opponent's weaknesses and defeating the enemy with one strike!"
Li Xuexuan was not convinced and asked back, "What would you do if the opponent's defense was tight and there were no flaws?"
Bai Fu said: "Even if the opponent's moves are flawless, there are still gaps between breaths. The transition between breaths is the most dangerous moment, when the old strength has been exhausted and the new energy has not been released.
As long as you attack the opponent, suppress him, make his breathing rhythm unbalanced, his breathing chaotic, his inner breath deviated, you will be defeated if you don't attack."
Li Xuexuan said: "The swordsmanship of the Sword Master and the Sword Demon are unique in their own way, and they are very different from Shaolin's boxing and kicking skills. What is the primary and secondary role? If they are combined by force, will they care about one and lose the other?"
Bai Fu said: "Swords, fists and kicks are extraordinary changes. Don't be rigid and stick to the past.
The strange and the right arise from each other, with the right combination, with the strange victory, infinite like the heaven and the earth, inexhaustible like a river, ending and beginning again, repeating the cycle, just like one person transforming into two people, ever-changing, without beginning or end, endless."
…
Li Xuexuan is also a person with excellent martial arts skills and a very smart person. He understands everything quickly. He not only understands quickly, but also puts forward many suggestions for improvement.
Li Xuexuan was filled with emotion and said: "Senior Brother Fu, Senior Sword Demon did not misjudge you. You are truly a unique martial arts genius!"
Bai Fu smiled bitterly and said: "At that time, my hand tendons and hamstrings were picked, and my martial arts was no longer good. If I were outside prison, I would never have any thoughts of martial arts again.
But the long night in the prison was long, and there was nothing to do. At first, it was just to pass the time, play games, and summarize and consolidate what I had learned.
In the end, my soul was wandering in the sky, I was enjoying it and couldn't stop."
Having said this, Li Xuexuan asked: "Brother Fu, how are your hand tendons and hamstrings recovering? Are there any hidden dangers?"
Bai Fu said: "Uncle Qingtan has superb medical skills. He extracted the tendons from my thighs and connected the tendons of my hands and feet. At first, Uncle Qingtan was worried that there would be future troubles, but it might be the reason for the Qilin blood. The tendons
The tendon has recovered well and is stronger than before."
Li Xuexuan looked at Bai Fu's disabled right hand, tears welled up in her eyes again, and asked: "Is it possible to reconnect the thumb?"
Bai Fu smiled hoarsely and said, "If my thumb can regenerate, wouldn't I become a monster?
My thumb is broken, it’s just that I can’t use the sword with my right hand, it’s no big deal. I still have my left hand! Now I’m practicing swordsmanship with my left hand. Although I’m still not very proficient in it, as long as I practice diligently, one day I will be as comfortable as my right hand.”
Li Xuexuan smiled with tears in her eyes, nodded and said, "Senior Brother Fu, you can definitely do it."
The two chatted for a while and practiced playing against each other. When they found a problem, they stopped and continued to dismantle and discuss the moves. Both of them are people with excellent martial arts skills. They met their opponents and had the same mind. After several battles, they benefited a lot from each other.
…
That morning, after breakfast, Bai Fu was about to continue explaining, but Li Xuexuan stopped him.
Bai Fu was confused and said with a smile: "Junior Sister Li, what do you mean by this? Are you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?"
Li Xuexuan stared at Bai Fu with dark eyes and remained silent for a long time.
After a long time, Li Xuexuan sighed and said: "Senior Brother Fu, you have given me everything you have to teach me. Do you intend to die on the battlefield and have no hope of surviving?"
Bai Fu was silent for a moment, smiled faintly, and said: "Once you go to the battlefield, life and death are determined by God. How can you make the decision yourself?"
Li Xuexuan shook his head, with a solemn expression and a firm tone, and said: "Brother Fu, promise me you will come back alive!"
Bai Fu took a deep breath, smiled brightly, and said, "Okay!"
