Xiao Longnu closed her eyes and concentrated, pinched the lotus fingers with her hands, and sat cross-legged to make luck. As the internal energy traveled through her meridians, strands of white air rose from the top of her head.
However, this mysterious and mysterious state did not last long. She suddenly groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood, then covered her chest, and her cold and pretty face looked a bit haggard.
"As expected...as expected, it still doesn't work?"
Xiao Longnu sighed secretly and shook her head subconsciously.
"I should have paid attention to it a long time ago. Why was I so careless? Now that the meridians are damaged, I'm afraid I really can't defend the ancient tomb left by the master."
She stood up weakly and walked straight to the stone room nearby.
The stone slab on the roof of this stone chamber is covered with various patterns and symbols, all carved with sharp tools, some deep or shallow, seemingly without any rules, but in Xiao Longnu's view, she can study them one by one according to the secret method taught by her master.
Essential.
Xiao Longnu raised her head and looked at the pictures on the ceiling.
I saw a large picture engraved in the corner of the roof, probably no less than seventy or eighty of them. They all seemed to look like women, with different movements, and there were traces of fine lines scattered all over the body.
This is the secret art of the ancient tomb heart technique [Jade Girl's Heart Sutra] that Li Mochou, Hong Lingbo, and even Chen Xuan have been thinking about.
When Xiao Longnu came here, she raised her hand and planned to destroy the Heart Sutra in the stone room, but as soon as she raised her hand, she couldn't help but think of every detail of practicing the Heart Sutra with Yang Guo in the past.
She was now over 20 years old, almost reaching the threshold of 30.
It's just that her martial arts skills are extremely high and her talent is extraordinary, so she doesn't look old by nature, so she still looks like a girl in her late teens or early twenties.
She grew up in an ancient tomb and knew nothing about the world.
In addition, the main point of ancient tomb martial arts training is to restrain the seven emotions and six desires, so she and Yang Guo, master and disciple, faced each other day and night.
However, Xiao Longnv's personality was cold and indifferent, and Yang Guo also cherished the opportunity to practice martial arts very much and was respectful in everything, without being overly polite in the slightest.
So even if Xiao Longnu wanted to come now, it would just be a pity for her and Yang Guo's master-disciple relationship.
Thinking of Yang Guo, who had lived with her for many years, Xiao Longnu couldn't help but feel sad.
When Yang went outside the valley, he unexpectedly discovered a clump of red flowers in the valley.
The rows of red flowers are several feet long, layer upon layer, and the fragrance is astonishing.
He saw that the flowers were like a big screen, with red flowers and green branches, it was really beautiful, and the trees hanging down all around made it look like a natural flower house and tree house.
Yang Guo knew that Xiao Longnu wanted to practice the Jade Girl Heart Sutra, so he hurriedly went back and took Xiao Longnu to see him. He said that the two of them were sitting on one side, separated by the cluster of red flowers, and even without their clothes, they could not see each other.
Xiao Longnu felt that it made sense. She looked around and saw that the surrounding area was quiet and quiet, with only the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. There was no one around. It was indeed a good place to practice.
Since the death of her master, Li Mochou has been coming back often to seize the ancient tomb inheritance, and Xiao Longnu is also eager to improve her martial arts.
That night, Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu came to the red flowers.
It was late at night and the fragrance of flowers was even more intense. Xiao Longnu specially practiced the Jade Girl Heart Sutra and talked about it. Yang Guo also patiently asked about the difficult points in it.
According to the plan, the two of them sat on both sides of the cluster of red flowers, and then began to practice.
I have been practicing this way for two months and have been fine.
The Jade Girl Heart Sutra is divided into nine sections. After that period of practice, Xiao Longnu has reached the seventh section and Yang Guo has also reached the sixth section.
That night, the two of them continued to practice each other across the flowers. Their bodies were steaming with heat, and when they diffused the fragrance of the flowers, they became even more fragrant.
However, the accident happened unexpectedly.
Watching that day, the moon reached its zenith, and in half an hour, the two of them had completed their cultivation.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the uninhabited valley near the ancient tomb.
According to common sense, the Quanzhen Sect and the Tomb Sect are close neighbors, and because of the relationship between Wang Chongyang, the founder of the Quanzhen Sect, and Lin Chaoying, the founder of the Tomb Sect, they both look down upon each other.
The area near the ancient tomb has always been regarded as a forbidden area by Quanzhen disciples and is rarely set foot on.
Xiao Longnu secretly felt that something was wrong, but there were so-called rules of "yin advancing" and "yang retreating" in practicing the Jade Girl's Heart Sutra.
Yang Guo practiced the "Yang Retreat" Kung Fu and could stop at any time. However, Xiao Longnu's "Yin Advance" practice had to be completed in one go. There should be no slight setbacks in the middle, otherwise the Qi and blood would surge back, which could cause damage to the meridians, or even kill him on the spot.
It can be known.
At this time, she was practicing at a critical juncture and completely ignored the footsteps and voices.
Yang Guo on the other side could hear it clearly. He was surprised and hurriedly breathed out his luck, secretly calmed his breath and listened carefully.
The two people from the Quanzhen sect gradually approached, and their voices were very familiar. One of them was Zhao Zhijing, the master that Guo Jing and Qiu Chuji had discussed when Yang Guo had joined the Quanzhen sect.
The other person is his uncle Yin Zhiping.
The two of them were talking louder and louder, and seemed to be quarreling.
I only heard Zhao Zhijing say, "Junior Brother Yin, it's useless no matter how much you deny it. I'm just going to report it to Uncle Qiu and let him verify it."
Yin Zhiping said angrily, "Why are you forcing me so hard? Do you think I don't know? You just want to perform well and strive for credit in everything, so that you can be the leader of the three generations of disciples in the future, and you want to take charge of Quanzhen in the future."
!You are so hypocritical and claim to be righteous, aren’t you making people laugh!”
Zhao Zhijing sneered and said, "You yourself do not abide by the rules and have violated the major precepts of my religion. How can you be the first disciple again?"
Yin Zhiping argued, "What major precept have I committed?"
Zhao Zhijing shouted loudly, "The fourth commandment of Quanzhen! The commandment of obscenity!"
Yin Zhiping's face turned pale when he heard this, looking particularly gloomy under the moonlight, and he just said in a low voice.
"I do not know what you're talking about!"
But when he said this, he secretly reached out and pressed the hilt of the sword, obviously having murderous intentions.
Zhao Zhijing didn't know it yet and sneered proudly.
"Junior Brother Yin, do you really think I don't know? Ever since you saw the little dragon girl in the ancient tomb, you have been distracted all day long. You have thought about her so many times, and you just hugged the little fairy in your arms.
Wanton provocation, but you enjoy it a lot? What I teach is about cultivating the mind and character. Since you are attracted to that little dragon girl, haven't you already violated the precept?"
Although Zhao Zhijing had no evidence, when Yin Zhiping heard his accusation, he seemed to feel guilty and said in a trembling voice.
"You're talking nonsense! Can you know what I'm thinking?"
Zhao Zhijing sneered and said, "Of course I don't know what you are thinking, but can't I hear you talking in your sleep at night? You write Xiao Longnu's name over and over again on the paper, and I can't even look at it?"
When Yin Zhiping heard this, he felt as if he was struck by lightning, and his whole body shook twice.
Zhao Zhijing took out a piece of white paper from his arms, waved it a few times, and said proudly.
"Junior brother Yin, come and have a look, is this your handwriting? I don't think it's better. We give it to Uncle Ma and Uncle Qiu can recognize it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Zhiping's eyes suddenly turned cold, and with a "swish" sound, the long sword was unsheathed and stabbed Zhao Zhijing in the heart!
Zhao Zhijing seemed to be silent, but he was also very scheming and had already taken precautions.
At this moment, he turned sideways to avoid it, stuffed the white paper into his arms, and said with a sinister smile.
"What? Do you still want to kill me and silence me? I'm afraid it's not that easy!"
Yin Zhiping had a sullen face, said nothing, and stabbed three swords quickly in his hand, but Zhao Zhijing avoided each one.
When it came to the fourth sword, there was only a "ding" sound, and Zhao Zhijing also struck with the long sword.
However, the two junior brothers turned against each other and started fighting right next to the red flowers.
Both of them are the third generation high disciples of the Quanzhen Sect, one is the first disciple of Qiu Chuji, and the other is the first disciple of Wang Chuyi. Their martial arts skills are naturally on par between them.
Yin Zhiping here was holding back his heart, gritted his teeth, and tried every means to eliminate this hidden danger.
Zhao Zhijing, on the other hand, had long known his junior brother's temper. During the fight, he would occasionally taunt him, hoping to anger the opponent and take the opportunity to defeat him.
The two jingled their swords and struck dozens of moves. Yin Zhiping kept attacking, while Zhao Zhijing kept moving to defend while sneering.
"Good junior brother, you can do what I know, and I have practiced what you know. You want to kill me? I'm afraid it will be difficult, but I want to see how Uncle Qiu will deal with you, a traitor!"
Zhao Zhijing was very defensive when he said these sarcastic words. Yin Zhiping had a sullen face and said that he frequently made killing moves, but every move was blocked by him.
It's just that the two of them were fighting so hard that they couldn't help but see their footsteps moving towards the red flowers.
Yang Guo knew that Xiao Longnu could not be easily interrupted while practicing the Jade Girl Heart Sutra, so he thought to himself.
"No, it will be terrible if these two Taoist priests hit my aunt!"
Thinking of this, he hesitated and was about to rush out.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhao Zhijing suddenly fought back, and the long sword in his hand shook like a snake, forcing Yin Zhiping back!
He made three quick moves, and Yin Zhiping took three steps back in succession. He was unable to resist for a moment.
Yang Guo was feeling happy when he saw the two of them retreating away, when Yin Zhiping suddenly crossed his sword to his left hand, and struck Zhao Zhijing's chest with a "whooshing" palm from his right hand!
However, Zhao Zhijing was still not afraid of this extremely spiritual move, and even smiled a bit.
"Good junior brother, even if you have three hands, you can only pick flowers from across the wall. Want to kill me? Practice again!"
While speaking, he also raised his left palm and clapped it.
The two of them went into battle with swords, fists and feet, and the fight was even more fierce than before.
Seeing the two of them fighting with real fire, Yin Zhiping roared and seemed to be in a hurry, he stopped blocking Zhao Zhijing's sword moves and just attacked fiercely.
Zhao Zhijing secretly thought something was wrong, knowing that his junior brother was anxious.
The two were divided into the first disciples of Qiu Chuji and Wang Chuyi. Because they would later take charge of the Quanzhen Sect, they always fought fiercely.
Now Zhao Zhijing dragged Yin Zhiping to the forbidden area of Quanzhen Sect and showed his trump card. In fact, he wanted to have a private chat with his good junior brother.
But I didn't expect Yin Zhiping to be so strong. I would rather be killed by him than let the news leak out.
Although Zhao Zhijing and Yin Zhiping have always been at odds with each other, at least they come from the same school and are brothers, so they have some feelings for each other.
In addition, after getting rid of Yin Zhiping, he will become the head of Quanzhen in the future. How can he now be held responsible for Yin Zhiping's death?
Because of this, Zhao Zhijing was unable to resist the anxious Yin Zhiping for a moment.
Yin Zhiping took this opportunity and stabbed with his long sword "咻咻"!
Zhao Zhijing was in panic and had to retreat continuously!
At the critical moment, Yin Zhiping swiped his sword horizontally. Zhao Zhijing was in a panic and did not dare to take the move. He had to suddenly jump up when the situation was extremely critical, hoping to avoid this swipe and use the momentum to distance himself.
Yang Guo hid in the dark and watched for a long time, watching the two of them fight back and forth, and finally reached the cluster of red flowers.
Seeing Zhao Zhijing jump back, he was afraid that he would jump into the red flowers where Xiao Longnu was hiding!
Yang Guo was shocked when he saw this. He didn't think much about it for a moment and hurriedly jumped up. He put his hand on Zhao Zhijing's back and tried to throw the weighing 100 kilograms of Zhao Zhijing away.
However, he stood up suddenly, and he had nowhere to use his strength in mid-air. At this moment, he had to catch Zhao Zhijing and push him out with his palm, but his hand was slightly weak.
Suddenly, he staggered and knocked down a flower branch on one side of his body.
The flower branch bounced back quickly, and by chance, it hit Xiao Longnu on the face.
With just such a slight flick, Xiao Longnu was shocked, her inner energy suddenly went into chaos, and she broke into a cold sweat at the sight.
She happened to be at the critical moment of practicing the Jade Girl Sutra, and the rapidly rotating internal energy in her internal energy meridians surged violently, instantly damaging her meridians, causing her to groan and collapse to the ground on the spot.
This sudden change shocked all three people present.
Yang Guo reacted first and shouted, "Auntie!"
Then he hurriedly pulled the skirt of her clothes over, covering her body, and picked her up.
Yin Zhiping, who was already red-eyed with murder, saw the man in his dream at first sight, and immediately froze on the spot, with no murderous intent at all.
Zhao Zhijing, who had fallen out, managed to stand still. Looking back, he saw Xiao Longnu's face clearly through the moonlight, and sneered.
"Okay, it turns out that this little naughty dragon is stealing men here!"
Yang Guo was furious when he heard this and shouted, "You two stinky Taoist priests are not allowed to leave! I'll come back to settle the score with you!"
During these words, he seemed to be saying the same thing, but seeing that Xiao Longnu was dying, he remembered that she had repeatedly told him not to be disturbed by external objects while practicing the Heart Sutra.
At this moment, she was suddenly frightened. She was afraid of damaging her meridians. She was extremely frightened. She hurriedly reached out and tremblingly touched her forehead and asked softly.
"Auntie, are you okay?"
Xiao Longnu said "hmm" but didn't answer. Her expression was obviously wrong.
Seeing how close the master and apprentice were, Yin Zhiping stood there in a daze, speechless for a moment.
Seeing his stupid look, Zhao Zhijing burst out laughing and pretended to be sarcastic.
"Junior brother Yin, the one you love is here with this yellow-haired boy Ye He. Don't you like her so much? You just fought so hard with my senior brother, why don't you kill this boy with a sword now?"
Yin Zhiping turned a deaf ear and remained silent.
