There are light autumn clouds outside the window, and the yellow leaves in the courtyard are turning. Above the blue sky, a bird's shadow rarely passes by, and its cry is lonely and desolate.
Slenderly, she raised her plain hands and slapped her face hard. The slap was slapped for no reason, but the sound still echoed in her ears. The left side of her face was a little hot, and the soft, boneless jade hand slapped her face, but it turned out to be ordinary.
Hot. There was a bronze mirror placed on the desk by the window. Yang Zhaoxi grabbed it with one hand, it was quite heavy, and looked at his left cheek. There were five faint fingerprints on it, as bright as peaches and plums.
Yang Zhaoxi sighed a few times, then sat down in front of the outside plan, took out the vegetarian food from the wooden box, and started chewing it. Maybe he was imprisoned in the manhole for a few days, and his stomach was starved. At this time, the hunger came back, and a look on his face
The appearance of eating was really ferocious. It was like a glutton with a huge mouth, the wind was blowing, and half a stick of incense was not available, so he ate all the vegetarian food in the food box. Yang Zhaoxi stroked his swollen belly and burped several times. See
Before Gongsun Zhenren came back, he sat back on the wooden couch and continued to practice Qigong.
This time the exercise took a long time. Even in the middle of the journey, Shui Xizi Luo Rou followed Huang Shuo and quietly came in and took away the wooden box containing the vegetarian meal. However, the various illusions that emerged from the state of thinking were not noticed.
It’s ever-changing:
Near the upper Dantian and Yintang point, the colorful sun, moon, stars, clouds, purple light, etc. alternately change, making it impossible to distinguish between day and night; near the middle Dantian and Tanzhong point, there are majestic scenes of mountains, rivers, forests, lakes and swamps.
, which makes people feel open-minded; however, the area near the Lower Dantian and Qugu Point is mysterious and dark, with dark rivers, rotting water, strange plants, and pale green mist, creating a desperate situation. And these three places are in great contrast.
The illusions not only appear at the same time, but also merge and connect, as if they indicate the destiny of all things in the world.
Autumn night comes early, and there is no time to wait for those distant dusk drums in the city. The rooms where several virgin Taoist priests sleep in Linjiguan are all lit up, and the orange candlelight writes horizontally and vertically on the window lattice in the courtyard.
, like an abstract chessboard. There are also female Taoist priests who are not resting, printing their graceful silhouettes on the window screens, vivid and pleasant. This is just an ordinary night in Linji Temple. Gongsun Zhenren is walking under the stars in the courtyard.
, on such an ordinary night, I returned to Linji Temple after a long journey.
Among the guest rooms in the front yard, only one had lights on. Faint laughter could be heard from inside, but it was Zhu Jieran and Zhuo Songtao who had borrowed Go from Linjiguan's junior sister and were fighting furiously.
Huang Shuo was watching the battle attentively, his stance wavering. One moment he helped Zhu Jieran point out several positions, and the next moment he reminded Zhuo Songtao which area contained ambushes. The three brothers kept pushing the chess board up while they were noisy.
situation.
Gongsun Zhenren then entered the room next to the lighted guest room. The room was silent, with only a thin figure sitting on the wooden couch, motionless. The breath between his mouth and nose was faint, but the acquired Qi in his body was surging.
Surging. Master Gongsun was a little surprised when he felt this scene. Although the Taoist sect has a saying that "the master leads the door, and the practice depends on the individual", practicing kung fu and qi is a dangerous path. If you perform wrong once, you will be injured.
As well as yourself, you must have a master with profound knowledge to guide you to ensure that nothing goes wrong. It is extremely rare for people like Yang Chaoxi, who are self-taught without a teacher, to be able to perform smoothly.
"Is this the heaven-defying talent of the 'Chosen One'?" Gongsun Zhenren thought, but he did not dare to step forward and disturb him. He even withdrew his hand that was about to hold the lamp, for fear of disturbing his performance.
The key point was to ruin this young disciple's entry into the country.
With this in mind, he sat down in the darkness, thinking about the arrangements after returning to the mountain, and paying attention to Yang Chaoxi's performance. After waiting for nearly an hour, Yang Chaoxi released the increasingly powerful acquired power.
The Qi dispersed into three strands and was placed in the three Dantians. A ray of thought also escaped from the state of contemplation layer by layer. He opened his eyes, and a faint light flashed in his eyes.
Although the room was dark, Yang Chaoxi also saw Gongsun Zhenren: "Viewer! You are back!" After saying that, he got up and was about to stay on the bed to salute. He leaned down halfway and then remembered that he was not wearing any clothes.
He quickly retreated and wrapped himself in silk quilt, not knowing what to do.
Gongsun Zhenren had lit the lamps and candles at this time, and when he saw the Taoist robes hanging everywhere inside and outside the guest room, he couldn't help but smile. So he took them off one by one and handed them to Yang Chaoxi: "Chong Lingzi, you don't have to pay for the common etiquette."
, put on your Taoist robe first! There is no one to disturb you at this time, so you can follow me to the martial arts field. This time I came down from the mountain, but I have stayed here due to various things, and I have not bothered to take a test on your swordsmanship." Yang Chaoxi.
I answered it in one go and put it on even faster.
Not long after, the two of them stood in the martial arts arena, and their position was exactly at the two fish eyes of the huge yin-yang fish pattern. As Gongsun Zhenren waved his robe sleeves, two more bamboo swords came out of his hand, and they separated
He took out one and threw it to Yang Chaoxi: "Chong Lingzi, fight me with all your strength, no need to hold back."
Yang Chaoxi took the bamboo sword, nodded, swung it a few times, and assumed an attack posture. Seeing that Zhenren Gongsun was still hanging his sword by his side, he knew that he was going to attack first, so he stepped up, swung his sword, and struck directly.
Gongsun Zhenren's heart. Gongsun Zhenren smiled and nodded. When the bamboo sword was about to hit his heart, he turned sideways and turned his right wrist. The bamboo sword in his hand was like a soft whip, using the force of twisting to deflect Yang Chaoxi's attack.
, the rushing force was also eliminated. Yang Chaoxi's thoughts suddenly changed, and he changed his moves before the battle. He turned around and slashed directly at Gongsun Zhenren's right shoulder. Gongsun Zhenren's moves were calm, and he held the hilt of the sword backwards.
With a sweep of his hand, he removed the force of the slash...
After more than a dozen moves like this, Gongsun Zhenren leaned back, opened a distance of more than ten feet, and said calmly: "Use your 'qi to use force' method!"
Yang Chaoxi nodded in agreement, and when he struck again, the bamboo sword cut through the air, making the sound of gold and stone! The acquired energy in his body also began to flow rapidly. This sword cut straight, but it was the neck. Gongsun Zhenren slightly
He tilted his head and swung his bamboo sword in one stroke. This was a powerful slash, and then it was deflected again, as if a punch hit an empty space.
Yang Zhaoxi sheathed her sword and retreated quickly, recalling the moment when the bamboo swords met. The bamboo sword did not contain any energy at all. It seemed that with just a little bit of skill, she had resolved all her plans for how to draw the sword.
.Yang Chaoxi naturally would not give up. He kept moving with hidden strength, and his swords were full of power. The endless sword moves were like locusts and arrows, rushing towards him.
At first, Gongsun Zhenren was just taking time off, picking out moves as he saw them. Later, from the continuous sword moves, he realized a slightly different sword intention, a sword intention that was better than the previous one! So he no longer hid his clumsiness and was slow.
Slowly bring Yang Yuan Qi into the sword moves bit by bit, and every time he swings out, there is a sound of swords. The two bamboo swords are now more powerful than the copper and iron swords, and the sound of "Du, Du" is not clear and crisp.
, but it resounded throughout the martial arts arena, and there were even echoes.
The figures of the two people intertwined, sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly, and kept moving with the sound of fighting. Yang Chaoxi's sword intention was no longer limited to the sword intention of Gongsun's swordsmanship of "conquering hardness with softness", but also combined "
The sword intention contained in "The Picture of Five Saints and Thousand Officials" has been integrated into it. The moves are both flexible and stern, but the combination of hard and soft moves has made them more and more proficient. To be split into two
After more than a hundred moves, he finally struck out with an unparalleled sword, and was lifted up by Gongsun Zhenren's backhand, cutting him into two pieces.
Yang Zhaoxi put away the half-cut sword, bowed to Gongsun Zhenren and said, "Thank you, Lord Guan, for keeping your hand under the sword!"
Gongsun Zhenren also put away his bamboo sword and said with a happy smile: "Chong Lingzi, I didn't hold back much this time. Your swordsmanship has suddenly improved, and the last time you performed martial arts in Zhaitan, you have already begun to show signs of it. However, I also
I can’t figure it out, what kind of opportunity did you get?”
When Yang Chaoxi saw Zhenren Gongsun asking a question, he raised his hand and replied: "On the morning of the Duanzheng month, the "Five Saints and Thousand Officials" painted by Wu Daoxuan that we went to see contained a lot of sword intentions. I don't know how he did it.
It’s because the disciple got some of the sword spirit in that painting that he made the sword skills you taught seem plausible. Now I want to change it, but I can’t change it back no matter what.”
Gongsun Zhenren waved his hand and said with a smile: "Since you have the sword intention in the painting, why do you want to change it back? You can't defeat me today. It's just that you haven't practiced swordsmanship for a short time and you lack experience in handling the sword. It's not that the sword intention is not good enough. In time,
The swordsmanship you use will definitely surpass what I taught you. This is one of the reasons why I dare to teach swordsmanship to others in recent days."
Gongsun Zhenren stepped forward a few more steps, looked at Yang Chaoxi's blushing face and said: "The sword intention contained in the "Five Saints and Thousand Officials" is the swordsmanship of the Sword Master Pei Min. At that time, General Pei Min should
Wu Daoxuan was invited to Luoyang to do a sword dance. Wu Daoxuan's painting skills were so perfect that he integrated the sword's meaning into the painting on the spot. There are many people who know about this, but he can realize the sword's meaning from the painting and turn it into a painting.
I’m afraid you’ll be the first person to use it.”
Seeing that he had no intention of blaming him, Yang Chaoxi completely put down her uneasy thoughts. She suddenly asked: "Last year, the master suddenly agreed to teach me swordsmanship. I have always been grateful. I just don't understand why.
Why don't your disciples be allowed to call you master?"
Gongsun Zhenren stroked his crown of hair and said with a smile: "I taught you swordsmanship last year, but it was just at the right time, and I had a sudden idea. First of all, although this swordsmanship is good, it is not superior, so I naturally don't use a bad broom to cherish it.
.Secondly, selfishly, I also want to find a successor for this sword technique. When you saw the sword technique that night, I felt that you had some chance with this sword technique, so I didn’t teach it deliberately. But you didn’t.
It is quite unexpected for me that you failed to meet my expectations, but you were able to learn it happily and improve every day. Today I see that you can integrate other swordsmanship, and I have no regrets about this swordsmanship.
As for the name of this master, how can I compete with fellow Taoist Changyuan!"
Yang Chaoxi heard his sincere words and was moved in her heart. She knelt down and kowtowed three times respectfully. However, she could not say the two words rolling in her throat for a long time.
