Volume I, Chapter 71, Twenty-Four Styles
Tang Xi was gorgeously tired after completing less than a third of today's task, after all, it was not easy to carry eighty pounds, and he fell asleep again until the next morning.
"Master, this training intensity is not something that a normal person can do! Tang Xi's mouth was still stuffing things, and his bulging cheeks looked very pitiful.
"What's not convinced, if it's just for you to be a normal person, what else do you train?" Ying Xiaoling said slowly and methodically as he drank the small porridge.
"You see I've had a meal here. Tang Xi muttered quietly.
"If you have the ability, don't fall asleep next time, I don't have to worry about eating. But then again, there's nothing wrong with me saving food for my family, hehe!" Ying Xiaoling gave Tang Xi a ghostly look.
"Master... What is my task today?" Tang Xi was mentally prepared, this would definitely be a difficult day.
"Today, rest. Ying Xiaoling said casually.
"What?" Tang Xi couldn't believe his ears.
"Don't you hear clearly, then keep training. Ying Xiaoling continued.
"No, no, no, I know, rest, rest. Tang Xi hurriedly said.
"If the strings are constantly tightened, they will collapse sooner or later, and Master is not a black-hearted old demon, hurry up and go to rest after eating." Ying Xiaoling continued to nibble on the corn in his hand.
"I, this, Master, aren't we going to take a look at Xiao Tan?" Tang Xi asked cautiously.
"You have to ask Uncle for directions. Ying Xiaoling gave Tang Xi a small look, and then glanced at Louis, who was quietly eating breakfast on the table next to him.
"Ahem. Xiao Ling, when did you learn to be sneaky, if there is anything you want to ask, just ask directly. Louis's hearty voice rang out.
Ying Xiaoling secretly grimaced.
"It's not Tang Xi yet, he said that he wanted to go see Jian Tan, I just advised him not to worry about it. Ying Xiaoling happily sold Tang Xi.
"Master... I, this, you..."Tang Xi felt his tongue knot.
"What's mine, yours?" Ying Xiaoling had a threatening expression.
"It's nothing, yes, I just want to know how Xiao Tan has been doing these days, has she been very hard. Tang Xi gave in.
"Xiao Tan, I'll watch it, don't worry about it, don't bother her in the last few days. Especially Xiaoling girl, don't think I don't know that you secretly wanted to cross my barrier to the bamboo forest last night. Luis said.
Tang Xi immediately understood that he had been fooled by his master again.
"Uncle Lu, I didn't go later. Ying Xiaoling said.
"Cunning girl, that's because you know that if you continue to walk, you won't be able to pass my formation. Louis debunked Ying Xiaoling's trick.
"Hmph, Uncle Lu, you can save some face for me in front of my apprentice. Ying Xiaoling turned around in anger.
"I'm afraid that you will teach such a down-to-earth apprentice badly. Louis gave Tang Xi a look.
Tang Xi is not stupid, at least he has not lost for the sake of sycophancy. "Uncle Lu, don't worry, my master is so clever and cute, and he won't teach me badly, you see that she knows that I'm tired, so I'll give me a vacation immediately, where can I find such a good master?"
"Hmph, Tang Xi, it's good to know. Ying Xiaoling followed Tang Xi's words and went down the steps.
Louis stepped lightly on the weeds in the field, step by step towards the verdant bamboo forest, he still had a lunch box and a bottle of water in his hand, and a little smile in his eyes, it was time to be satisfied.
It's not that Louis hasn't been here in the past two days, every time he is observing Jian Tan from a distance, and when he sees Jian Tan, he is not only relieved, but also shocked. Every time she looks at Jian Tan in the bamboo forest, her figure will stand in different positions, on the big stones of thousands of shapes, on the muddy ground covered with bamboo leaves, on the tender bamboo swaying horizontally...
Gifted comprehension ability, Louis sighed inwardly.
Jian Tan's standing posture is strange, sometimes the white crane flashes its wings, sometimes the golden rooster is independent, and sometimes the left and right kicks the tail, Louis only smiled deeply.
Louis entered the bamboo forest, put down the food box and water in his hand, and sat down cross-legged not far from Jian Tan's location, he waited calmly, and Jian Tan seemed to be still intoxicated in a closed posture, and there was silence in the bamboo forest.
Finally, Jian Tan's body moved, as if he had come back to his senses and returned to his normal standing posture, Jian Tan turned his head and saw Louis smiling not far away, no matter where the background is, Louis always harmoniously integrated into this natural environment, this is the realm.
Jian Tan put down the bamboo thorn in his hand and walked over slowly.
"Drink some water, sit down and have something to eat. Louis nodded gently to Jane Tan and handed the water to Jane.
"Thank you. Jian Tan took the water and drank it all with a grunt.
Louis Mi raised his eyes and said meaningfully, "Sure enough, he is a good boy." ”
Jian was stunned for a moment, it seemed that Ying Xiaoling had told Louis about herself, and after thinking about it, there was nothing to hide. Picked up the lunch box, the food in it was very hearty, and it was still warm, Jian Tan had already passed the hunger period, and he didn't gobble it up like Tang Xi, but still ate it slowly, one bite at a time.
"Little brother, have you ever thought about finding a way back?" asked Louis suddenly.
Jane swallowed a mouthful of food and replied, "I thought about it when I first came. ”
"And now?" Louis continued.
"At least not until you destroy all of them. Jian Tan replied.
"Haven't you ever worried that after you destroy all the Spirit Demons, you may not be able to go back?" asked Louis.
"I was worried and confused, and Nanhai Guanyin said a word to me in a dream. Jane said quietly.
"You've actually seen Nanhai Guanyin, can you tell me what she said?" Louis was a little surprised.
She said that only by letting go of the past and letting go of the future can we follow our heart. There was a helpless smile on the corner of Jian Tan's mouth.
"Hahahaha! Interesting, interesting. Louis burst out laughing heartily.
"Now you are the most suitable person to inherit my twenty-four style swordsmanship. Louis stood up suddenly.
"My twenty-four forms come from the purity of nature, I don't look back at the past, I don't worry about the future, I just live in the moment! ”
"Little brother, let me ask you, what have you been doing these two days?" asked Louis with interest.
"Jian Tan is stupid, and I've been trying to forget the sword shadow engraved in my mind by my predecessor for the past two days. Jian Tan replied.
Louis nodded, "How much have you forgotten now?"
"Forget about it. Jian Tan replied.
"That's good, that's good. You were trying your hand at sword dancing?" Louis had a gleam in his eyes.
"I want my body to have the toughness to bring out the strength of my swordsmanship. Jian Tan nodded.
"The body is indeed the basis for exerting a powerful sword qi, and the most powerful swordsmanship is never to draw a gourd in the same way, but from the most basic moves, to connect the most suitable moves for yourself, from learning to comprehension is like a process of burying memories, although the memory is erased, but the flowing movements are in your bones from this moment. You're forgetting faster and better than I thought. Louis stood up suddenly.
"The breathing of the sword technique is also divided into natural breathing, abdominal breathing, abdominal reverse breathing and fist breathing, no matter which one is used, it should be natural, even, slowly swallowed, and naturally coordinated with the movements. What I'm going to teach you today is the twenty-four styles that I am most proud of, and the most basic moves in swordsmanship, remember, pay attention to my breath and breath!"
"Hum!" A bright light competed with the day, piercing the heavens and the earth, and what Louis held in his backhand was a long sword with white light all over his body, and the Longquan sword in Jian Tan's drawer was trembling slightly.
"The sword is like frost and snow, and the long sword dragon is chanting!" After a pause, Louis lowered his voice, looking more serious and heavy, Louis's momentum changed, and at this moment, the majesty on his body was not weaker than the soul of the ancient emperor above Mount Tai!
The bamboo leaves fall, and the breeze rises.
"This is the momentum!" The dashing figure leaped forward, the tip of the sword lifted, the white light glittered and disappeared, the sword shadow cut the bamboo, and a sword dance alarmed the Quartet.
The heart moves with the person, the sword swings with the heart, the body dances with the sword, the shadow floats with the body, and the light that penetrates into the bamboo forest is like a spotlight, focusing on the person who dances the sword, disturbing the rows of bamboo shadows!
The movement of the sword is so continuous!
Louis's momentum has changed again, his swordsmanship is domineering, his swordsmanship tells tenderness, the sword is not just killing, the sword also represents protection!
"The spectator is like a mountain and depressed, and the heavens and the earth are low for a long time!" Suddenly, the lively particles of various elements in the field came from a distance, and the colorful light gathered on the tip of the sword, and the brilliance bloomed in an instant!
"From nature, from nature. After the closing dance, the clothes of the figure in front of him hung down with the wind, the elements between heaven and earth scattered and returned to their duties, and the peerless sword dance returned to calm in an instant, only the dragon chant was still flashing with dazzling white light!
At this time, a blue light could no longer be suppressed, and it shot out! The white light also broke away from the master's right hand, and the two shining lights constantly collided and entwined in the air!
"Dragon Spring, Dragon Yin, maybe they have a certain origin?" Louis was deeply moved to receive such a pleasant emotion from the Dragon Yin Sword for the first time.
"Maybe their spirits are of the same race, which is why they resonate so strongly. Jian Tan looked at the sky, and there was a hint of relaxation on his face.
"Cherish your sword. Louis uttered a heartfelt sentence.
"Definitely. Jian Tan assured.
"About swordsmanship, I have nothing to teach you, the next few days, you can only rely on your own practice and understanding, this field and bamboo forest under my formation, there are very sufficient natural elements, I have arranged a few mechanisms in the field, you can challenge according to your actual situation. Luis said.
"Thank you, senior, by the way, Xiaoling and Tang Xi?"
"Although Xiao Ling is naughty, it is more than enough to be a qualified master, not to mention me. Don't worry, when you can get out of this bamboo forest and field, Tang Xi will at least have the ability to protect himself. ”
After speaking, Louis smiled heartily and walked away slowly with his hands behind his back.
