Chapter 044: Zhongnan Mountain, Practicing the Body in the Snow
On the fourth day, Li Haoran lifted the stone slab and took out the snake skin. Everyone worked together to peel off the front and back layers, leaving only the thin layer in the middle. The processed snake skin was as thin as silk, with a smooth and soft texture.
Duan Susu looked at each person's body and cut it into six parts, saying, "This skin is precious and flexible, made into clothes, and ordinary swords cannot be cut. After soaking vinegar, it is no different from ordinary snake skin. Everyone sew it as soon as possible and soak it in vegetable oil for ten days, and it will become a treasure armor that does not penetrate the sword and does not soak it in water and fire."
When the woman went out, she naturally brought a sewing bag. Li Haoran's clothes were almost all sewn by Su Su. He found that her lover was taller than when she was on the mountain, and it was no different from the size. The snake tendons were made of thread and the snake skin was cloth, so she was quickly made. Xiaoyao School was all-round, and she was the best among them. In the darkness, she had already become a robe. The three girls of Xiaolongnu, Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang had only completed half of it, and they all admired such speed.
Duan Susu smiled indifferently and did not take their admiration seriously. Because the material is precious, she spent some time designing it to perfection. If she changed to ordinary fabrics, she could make it in half a day. This snake skin robe is light yellow in color and elegant in luxury. Li Haoran draped the robe on her body, length, width and width, all close to her body. As soon as this luxurious robe was on her body, it immediately looked more graceful and elegant, and everyone cheered.
The next evening, everyone tried their new clothes. The handsome men and beautiful women, and the unified colors formed a unique scenery in the valley. The remaining leather materials were made into soft shoes by them. Duan Susu and Xiaolongnu saw the Black Iron Sword and the Qingming Sword had no sheaths, so they also made it.
After several days of conditioning, the Divine Eagle's bloated body was almost half thin, with black and shiny feathers, making her look extraordinary, and the red sarcoma became darker and no longer as disgusting as before. In Yang Guo's words, this Divine Eagle is more powerful than the Peach Blossom Island Double Eagle, and the name of the Divine Eagle is actually true.
The Divine Eagle seemed extremely happy, looking around all day long, constantly causing laughter from everyone. But it was still the same, looking at the birds flying through the sky from time to time, and its big eyes seemed even more urgent. It was recalling the scene of free soaring in the vast sky in the past, and it was also looking forward to the day when it returned to the sky.
Half a month later, everyone bid farewell to this isolated valley. The Divine Eagle turned around in one step and looked reluctantly at the valley that had lived for decades. Now it has become accustomed to living with humans. Recently, it has been eating cooked food with them. Now it has let it eat raw animals, which is tasteless. What's more, with Li Haoran and Yang Guo competing with it, life is very easy. Even if it is allowed to stay, it may not do it.
Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang rode together on one horse, and the remaining one was left for the Divine Eagle. After staying in Xiangyang for nearly a month, the six people set out on the road to Zhongnan Mountain in Shaanxi again.
Along the way, Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu tried their swords when they had time. They were all building their own sword skills and trying to find a breakthrough to a higher level. In this case, the fastest progress was not Li Haoran, Duan Susu, nor Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu, but Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang sisters.
Cheng Ying is well-behaved, gentle and considerate, understanding, and has a very high qualification. She is deeply loved by Huang Yaoshi and has taken her as a disciple. Huang Yaoshi is deeply worried that there is no successor in the Peach Blossom Island lineage. He teaches all his unique skills in his life, so that she can remember them silently. Therefore, she knows everything about "the splashing of fingers", "the sword technique of the jade flute", "the sword palm of the Luoying", "the whirlwind sweeping the leaf legs", and "the orchid brushing the hole hand". However, some profound martial arts are limited to skill and cannot be used. Since eating snake blood, snake gallbladder, and learning the "Nine Yin Scriptures" from Lu Wushuang, her internal strength can be said to be a thousand miles a day. Compared with Huang Rong, her skills are not as frustrated as practical experience. Just by taking time and step by step, she can reach the realm of a first-class master.
Lu Wushuang was in bad luck and had a bad life. Although he had to meet a "famous teacher", Li Mochou hated her to the core and was always on guard. How could he teach him advanced martial arts?
Xiaolongnu knew that she was a fellow disciple, and she also liked this lively sister. Once she had time, she would tell her the formula from the "**" from shallow to deep.
Lu Wushuang has not revenged his great revenge, and he worked harder than everyone else, and he devoted himself to memorizing the "**" every day. What she learned was originally the ancient tomb sect kung fu, which is connected by lineage and is easy to understand. Gradually, he learned the profound things and encountered the things that were not clear. Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu also tried their best to explain them one by one.
Along the way, six people practiced moves during the day, meditated at night, and practiced quiet skills. Whenever they encountered difficult points to understand, they read the scriptures of the Nine Yin Scriptures and often could be explained from the scriptures. Many of the incomprehensible points in the scriptures can be verified in the moves. The two questions and confirmations are questioned and integrated, and many of the difficulties that have been in my heart for many years have been completely resolved.
After just over two months, except for Li Haoran who encountered a bottleneck again and could not break through, everyone felt that his martial arts were diligent, which was not comparable to those in the past and he practiced more vigorously. However, there were always many things that could not be realized from scriptures and moves. When they encountered this, they would always look for Li Haoran. At first, Li Haoran could still solve it casually. As various problems deepened, he thought for a longer time and longer time.
Although Li Haoran was worried and troubled, every time he solved a question, his insights on martial arts became more and more profound. Compared with the beginning, his knowledge increased almost exponentially, but it was a rare opportunity, laying a strong foundation for his future growth in martial arts.
Everyone walked and stopped until the middle of winter to Shaanxi. Along the way, many thieves crossed the road took a fancy to the beauty of the four girls, and were disguised by Yang Guo to try it out. At this time, the Divine Eagle had completely restored its style and it was no longer difficult to fly. Sometimes it soared in the sky, and sometimes it would rest on the back of the white crane. Compared with the valley, life was extremely free.
...
Zhongnan Mountain has thousands of green peaks and beautiful scenery. It is known as "the capital of immortals", "the crown of the cave" and "the best blessed land in the world". The terrain here is dangerous and the roads are rugged. There are five large valleys and more than a hundred small valleys. It is so big that it is thousands of miles away.
When we left, the mountains were green and birds were singing in secluded. But when we returned, the snowflakes were falling, and the mountains were quiet and became more and more heavy.
The ancient tomb of Zhongnan seems to be destined to be isolated from the world since the Broken Dragon Stone fell. In today's world, except for Yang Guo, Xiaolongnu, Li Haoran, Li Mochou, and Hong Lingbo, who knew that there was no way out in the mountains and rivers, and there was another village with dark willows and flowers?
The blue pond is filled with mist, and the two thatched huts are still there by the pond.
On the day of separation, I was sad and desperate, but I returned to my hometown but had my wish fulfilled. Thinking about the past, Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu seemed to be in a dream, both happy and sad, sweet and bitter, just like: the difference is a taste in my heart.
Li Haoran, Duan Susu, Cheng Ying, and Lu Wushuang have profound martial arts skills. Although they are not afraid of the coldness of the green pond, they are too lazy to like the feeling of wetness all over, so they have not entered the ancient tomb.
Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu returned to the ancient tomb once and brought jade honey juice to the guests. Everyone worked together to log wood to set up a house to shelter from the wind and snow. Yang Guo went down the mountain again and bought kitchen utensils and oil rice, with the idea of temporarily settling down outside.
Snowflakes dance, lonely people in the mountains are not lonely, good friends and couples gather together, even the fairy palace in the sky is not the same.
By the blue pond and by the hut, there are laughter and joy, and the horses are singing and crying, bringing endless joy to the fairy mountain in Zhongnan. The sword energy is scattered in the daytime, and leaning on the building to listen to the wind and snow at night, there is nothing better than this in life.
The bell of New Year's Eve is approaching. Although the six people live in a simple place, how can the children in the world care so much? Only with a beloved partner, where isn't there a happy family?
It was snowing heavily on this day, and the four girls were in high spirits and asked each other to climb a mountain to watch the snow. Yang Guo, the owner, was sitting cross-legged by the pond and meditating. As for the magic eagle, since she enjoyed the fun of soaring, she almost disappeared all day long. She only talked about wild game to change to cooked food when she was hungry.
Li Haoran was bored and lay in the hut to watch the snowflakes fall. Suddenly, he heard the cooing sound, and the divine eagle ran over, pulled the corner of his clothes with his mouth, and latched the heavy sword and walked out.
Li Haoran was idle and followed, walking together with the eagle, one by one, and then went to a very empty place. The eagle abandoned its sword on the ground, and it cheered, jumped to the open ground, spread its wings, rolled up a strong wind, and blew the snowflakes away. But the eagle's wings were rolling more and more powerful, and although the snowflakes were dense, no one fell to its body.
Li Haoran immediately understood that this magic eagle was teaching his own sword practice. In the past, Yang Guo practiced a mysterious iron heavy sword because of the divine eagle's careful teaching. Now Yang Guo chose to take the path of lightness and elegance, and he probably wouldn't have the chance to learn this sword technique again. His thoughts moved: "It's okay to be idle, but practicing sword in the snow is also elegant."
Li Haoran picked up the heavy sword and danced in the snow. The heavy sword was like the wind, slashing, sweeping, breaking, chopping, chopping, rounding, twisting, sending, wrapping, and sticking. At this moment, he was empty and did not use any sword technique. He had no moves or thoughts of sword intent in his heart. His purpose was very simple, just not to let the snowflakes fall on his body.
The snowflakes were flying, getting bigger and bigger. Li Haoran concentrated in his mind, as if he was slow and fast. He had a deep skill, but after dancing the heavy sword for a long time, he was a little sore and numb. However, in order to challenge his physical limit, he held on.
With the mountain wind, more than 80 kilograms of heavy swords were like terrifying geese, making a sound, sometimes calm and sometimes light and agile. With the heavy sword, the left hand formed a palm, fist, finger, claw, either chop, hit, hit, or send.
When the heavy snow hit, his sleeves waved. Whenever he saw snowflakes falling, he used sword energy, palm wind, fist strength, finger strength, and sleeve strength to swing the snowflakes. After playing with this for half a day, his whole body felt sore. Although his skill did not increase significantly, his arm strength was much thicker.
The heavy snow lasted for several days, and Li Haoran was practicing swords in the snow. After a while, he gradually realized the method of condensed energy and exerted force. The heavy sword was round and wishful, and it was no longer as tired as before.
On the afternoon of the eighth day, Li Haoran was in the air, and the black iron heavy sword sprinkled out sword winds, and the sword shadows seemed to be rolling down, and snowflakes were flying in the sky, but they could not enter several feet outside him.
Duan Susu, Cheng Ying, and Lu Wushuang held a flower umbrella with their hands, stood in a distance and watched the sword. Seeing him in the air, moving and dodging on the ground, dancing gracefully, everyone was dazzled and speechless.
After a while, Cheng Ying sincerely admired: "Brother is such a strange man. More than 80 kilograms of black iron heavy swords are lifted in his hands. What's even more rare is that the sword technique is so light and smart. If you don't act with your strength, you may only have such ability to do it."
Duan Susu's beautiful eyes were filled with affection, and he looked at the figure in a flash. At this moment, he heard Cheng Ying's words and smiled sweetly, saying softly: "Ran'er skillfully broke the 'Jade Girl Suxin Sword', but he was not satisfied with it because he used the Tai Chi sword intent, rather than winning with the heavy sword. He was arrogant and became a fool of martial arts. Since he took the heavy sword, he would never make it a decorative thing. He was familiar with the Qi Condensation Method of the heavy sword! You may think that he used his peerless skills to destroy the heavy sword. Facts
Not so. He felt the lightest and softest nature in the snow. He was following a certain trajectory to draw the sword without any real effort. Once he changed to an ordinary long sword, what speed would be like is really exciting. Ran'er is practicing body. Practicing body is a must-take for foreign masters. Foreign masters generally win by relying on their strong physique. In short, if this road is perfect, even if he does not use true energy, Ran'er can defeat the enemy with speed and strength."
Lu Wushuang said in confusion: "With this happening, wouldn't it be a waste of the true energy I have practiced hard?"
Duan Susu smiled and said, "This may not be the case. People in the martial arts world generally think that true qi is the most important. In fact, they are all wrong. The most powerful body. When the Ren and Du meridians have not been opened, the true qi is always in trouble. At this time, it depends on a person's natural strength and the flexibility of the body. If two people's true qi is equal and when the true qi is exhausted, the strength of the body is related to the final victory. Of course, Ran'er doesn't have to worry about the exhaustion of the true qi. He practices swords in the snow on the first day, and everyone sees his fatigue. That is the consequence of excessive use of true qi. Now he is gradually familiar with the method of using swords, but he no longer has to be so tired."
The martial arts that Li Haoran knows are based on the Xiaoyao Sect and moves to win. If he chose the Xuan Iron Heavy Sword at the beginning, he would be on the path of great cleverness and clumsiness. He has his pride. Since everyone thinks that heavy swords cannot take the path of lightness and agility, then he will use his actions to prove that there is nothing wrong with it, and there is nothing absolute in the world.
