Sky Star Peak is the highest of the eight mountains surrounding Zhuhai Village, and it is also the only way for this village to access the outside world.

Zhuhai Village is a small mountain village located in a continuous mountain range, and the other seven mountains are further down to endless mountain forests, stretching all the way to the area of Daxinganling. Only by walking in the direction of Sirius Peak can you get to the nearest town in the shortest time.

Sirius Peak is also the most beautiful of the eight mountains, and it is home to the largest natural waterfall in the vicinity, known as ambergris by locals. It means that this mountain range is connected into a dragon's body, the Sky Wolf Peak is the dragon's head, the ambergris waterfall is just in the dragon's mouth, and the ambergris is the dragon's water flowing from the dragon's mouth. In terms of feng shui, this is an excellent mountain, especially the location of Zhuhai Village, which is coiled and protected by this giant dragon in the middle, and I don't know how 6 Changming found it back then.

"It's almost there, it's ahead. The old man glanced back at 11, who was following him unhurriedly, and was very satisfied with 11's physique.

Don't look at the fact that the Sky Wolf Peak is not far from the village, with the foot strength of the old man and 11, they actually came out before dawn, and they still haven't arrived until it's almost noon, which shows how far the distance is. Especially the mountain roads are difficult to walk, and people with a slightly poor physique have long been unable to bear it.

The two climbed the hill for another half an hour, and finally a few huts made of rubble appeared in their field of vision. The cottages are set in a bamboo forest, and there is a large lake in front of the house, and the innermost part of the lake is the Ambergris Falls. In this season when the water flow is not much, you can hear the "boom" of the waterfall from afar. If it is changed to June and July, when the waterfall is at its highest, I really don't know how majestic it will be.

I don't know why they built their house here, don't they make a lot of noise?

There were still a few children playing outside, and when I saw the old man and 11 coming from a distance, these children were jumping and running over, shouting loudly from afar: "Grandpa......"

"Uncle ......"

The old man had a loving smile on his face. When the children came closer, they said, "Don't you see any guests?"

The children looked at 11 with puzzled eyes, apparently they had never seen this man.

The old man and the children chatted a few words, then told them to play by themselves, and then continued to walk towards the stone house. As he walked, he said: "This is where Uncle Huang lives, and Uncle Huang is inconvenient. Therefore, I moved with another senior brother and the two families to take care of him nearby. After a pause, he said: "Uncle Shi doesn't like to live in the village, and I think it's annoying that our juniors come up and knock on the door every day." Oh, we can't beat him. So he moved here with him. However, after living here for a long time, I also think that this place is very good, at least it is much quieter than when I lived in the village. ”

He glanced at the old man, but said nothing. \

Between the words. The two had already walked outside a stone house. 11 noted. These stone houses do not have doors, and a curtain is hung on the location of the gate, which is regarded as a door panel.

The old man stood outside the house, and just as he wanted to speak, an old voice came from inside and said, "Come in." ”

"Yes, Uncle Shi. The old man lifted the curtain and walked in, and 11 followed him.

It's not big, and the furnishings are very simple. There is only one bed. A toilet and a wooden box presumably for clothes. At this time, there was a half-lying and half-sitting man on the bed, and he was sitting straight on the bed with his clothes on. But his legs were still warm in the bed.

When he came in from 11, he immediately felt a pair of sharp lights shining directly on his face, and when he looked at the man on the bed, he could no longer feel the sharp gaze just now. In his eyes, there was only an old man with a yellow face and thin muscles, an old look, and a look like a decaying wood. The old man's eyes were devoid of energy, like black holes, with some gray taste. But 11 knew that the old man had reined in his edge, otherwise he wouldn't have felt that dazzling gaze looking at him just now.

The old man was looking at 11, and 11 was also looking at him, neither of them spoke, and even the old man stood respectfully to the side without saying a word.

After a long time, the old man asked, "Are you Chu Yuan?"

It was 11 answers.

The old man smiled and said, "I know about you from Senior Brother's letter. Senior Brother's letter was originally written to Senior Brother Eight, but he didn't know that Senior Brother Eight had passed away a long time ago. Oh, big brother, is he okay?"

"Hmm. ”

The old man sighed and said, "Even if we haven't seen each other for fifty or sixty years, alas, there are only three people left in our generation, the senior brother, the fourth brother and me. ”

It may be that when people are old, their thoughts will always slow down. The old man sat on the bed in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking, and the room fell silent again.

After a long time, the old man raised his head and said, "Xiaodong, you go back first." ”

East is the real name of the old man who brought 11 to the place, and his surname is Ma and his single name is an east character.

Ma Dong replied and asked again, "Senior uncle, isn't he here?"

"He went into the mountains to collect medicine for me. ”

"Yes, then I'll go out first. Ma Dong glanced at 11, turned around and opened the curtain and went out.

The old man said, "Sit down." "I said I was sitting, but there was really no place to sit in this room, and at most I was sitting on the edge of the bed.

said lightly: "No, I'm standing." ”

The old man didn't insist either, and asked, "Can you tell me how you and Senior Brother met?"

Rhetorical question: "He didn't say it?"

The old man shook his head.

"Then I won't say either. ”

The old man smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm just curious." The elder brother has a strange nature, and he doesn't like to be close to people since he was a child, so he just practices martial arts and swords all day long. He has never confiscated an apprentice in his life, let alone an apprentice, and he has not even taught his own son for a day. After hearing about you, I was really curious if he decided to accept a successor because he was old and enlightened. I didn't know until I asked Xiaodong to go down the mountain to meet you, and he came back and told me about your kung fu path. Senior brother hasn't taught you either. No wonder he asked us to teach you on his behalf in his letter, and I wonder if his apprentice is teaching someone else?"

"What did he say in the letter?"

"It's nothing, it's mostly about you, and it's that you're badly injured. Sent here to recuperate. If we can save your life, let us teach you martial arts on his behalf. ”

"Your martial arts are not for me. ”

"I know. Senior brother also knows. The old man nodded and said, "He said in the letter that you are practicing the Long family's internal martial arts. The kung fu of the Long family has always been known for its fierceness, and it is quite similar to the strength of Shaolin Di, and we take the opposite path of the Sword Sect. But the senior brother said in the letter that he had also practiced the kung fu of the Long family......"

Up here. The old man showed a wry smile on his face: "Senior brother is really a martial idiot, and he doesn't even care about the taboo of martial arts." ”

Here, only 11 know that 6 Yang was abolished because of his kung fu. Only then did he switch to practicing the exercises of the Long family. Otherwise, he really wouldn't dare to try. 6 Yangdi's younger brother 6 Qing himself is the successor of the Sword Sect, of course, he knows very well the route of the Sword Sect's internal strength, he deliberately locked 6 Yang's pipa bones, and then broke several of his important luck tendons, so that the internal strength can not run, this body of power is equivalent to abolishing.

A lifetime of hard work was all ruined in the hands of his younger brother, and it is no wonder that 6 Yang will hate 6 Qing to the bone.

It stopped for a long time. The old man continued: "Senior Brother said that the Long family's kung fu is indeed unique. Its biggest advantage is its explosiveness. With the sudden explosion of energy, it produces a huge destructive force in an instant. This is the biggest advantage of Longjia Kung Fu. Senior Brother thinks that this martial art is very suitable for you, so he doesn't want you to transfer to our Sword Sect's internal skills. ”

Interjected and asked, "Then you said that he asked you to teach me martial arts on his behalf?"

"It's martial arts, not martial arts. The old man smiled and corrected: "This is different, skills are skills, but arts are diverse, including martial arts. In fact, the meaning of Senior Brother is not to let us teach you the martial arts of the Sword Sect, but to teach you a kind of body technique in the sword duel, the Moon Dance Steps. ”

"Moon Dance Steps?"

"Well, the Moon Dance Step is actually not original to the ancestors, it originally came from the light dance in the Taoist Walk-free Footwork, and then improved by our Sword Sect ancestor Chang Ming Gong, and integrated this set of footwork into the sword moves to create the Imperial Sword Duel. However, this set of footwork was originally to be coherent with the sword move before it could be wielded, and the footwork alone was not powerful at all. Senior Brother is worthy of being a generation of wonder materials from my Sword Sect after Chang Ming Gong, he actually stripped this set of footwork from the sword moves, and then let us pass it on to you after improving it. Although the senior brother explained these in detail in the letter, but my qualifications are limited, it still took me a month to develop it, so I asked Xiaodong to take you up the mountain and pass on this set of senior brother's body method that was originally tailored for you from generation to generation. ”

Without showing much interest, he asked calmly, "Is the Moon Dance a body method?"

The old man thought for a moment and shouted, "Xiaodong, come in." ”

Ma Dong, who had left, didn't know if he had been staying outside the house, and as soon as the old man called him, he saw the door curtain lifted again, and Ma Dong walked in and said, "Uncle Shi." ”

"You play a set of sword duels and show Chu Yuan. ”

Dong did not have any objections to 11 and said, "Follow me." ”

The two walked outside the house, and Ma Dong went to another room first and took out a sword, and after standing still, he said, "Look carefully." ”

It's just that the long sword in Ma Dong's hand suddenly circled around his wrist, and then the sword separated from his hand, and it was incredible that it danced in the void on its own. Ma Dong's body is light and constantly circling around the middle, and the long sword has been circling around his body, during which it is rare to see Ma Dong use his hand to control the sword, as if there is an invisible hand dancing this sword. Ma Dong seemed to be dancing lightly in the field, and the sword was also dancing on its own, if there was really an enemy in front of him, it was indeed impossible to resist in the face of this magical sword move. While blocking the constantly attacking palms, you must always pay attention to the sword that suddenly stabs from a tricky angle.

This is one of the three great tricks of the Sword Sect, the sword duel? There is such a magical kung fu in the world, and the person who created this set of kung fu back then is really worthy of being a genius among geniuses.

However,11 soon noticed that the sword was not actually dancing on its own, but was still under the influence of Ma Dong. It's just that Ma Dong coordinates the sword moves with the footwork very perfectly, every time the sword momentum is exhausted, he can step on the sword move first, let the sword turn around in his hand and give birth to new power to continue to move.

Just when 11 watched the heart, Ma Dong's set of sword moves had been played. At this time, exclamations and cheers sounded nearby. It turned out that at some point, Ma Dong and his senior brother's family members were also watching outside.

Ma Dong put away his sword and asked, "Do you see it clearly?"

Nodding, he turned around and went back to the old man's room.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, the old man asked, "What do you know?"

Said calmly: "Footwork." ”

The old man nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, you can see through the mystery for the first time." The most important thing in Edgeworth's duel is footwork, followed by spiral energy. The ancestor Changming Gongshi came out of Wudang, and Wudang was the most famous for Tai Chi. The gold wire is entwined with spiral energy in Tai Chi's internal strength, and once it is entangled by this energy, it will be involuntary, and it will passively change its moves with the opponent's change of moves. ”

Nodding, the kung fu of Tai Chi Winding Jin is indeed there, and he has seen it with his own eyes. The winding strength is like a spider silk with a high stickiness, and the person who attacks it is like a moth pounced on the spider web, once the two hands are glued together, it will stick to it and can't shake it off.

The old man continued: "That's how the sword duel works, use spiral strength to control the castration of a good sword, and take back the sword with the body method before every sword move is exhausted, and re-energize it. So it seems that the sword is like another life, and it will attack on its own if it is not controlled. ”

"And what about footwork?"

The old man smiled and asked, "Do you have any peculiarities about Xiaodong's footwork?"

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Light, fast." ”

"Yes, it's light and fast, flexible, and it looks like it's dancing, hence the name Moon Dance. The Moon Dance was originally created for this set of sword moves, and without the sword moves, the Moon Dance would have lost its meaning. However, the senior brother was able to take a new path and evolve another set of body methods from the Moon Dance steps. It's a pity that I can't get out of bed and teach you personally. However, Xiaodong has been accompanying me to study this set of body methods this month, and he has a lot of understanding, I will let him teach you, and I will point to it from the side

After a long pause, the old man said again: "This is the method that Senior Brother has worked hard for you, you have to study hard, don't waste Senior Brother's suffering."

"When will it start?"

"Just today, from today onwards, you have to get up early in the morning when the rooster crows and stand on the stake for three hours. After breakfast, go to Ambergris Falls, hold the stone slab above your head, stand under the waterfall, and let the water wash until noon. From afternoon to evening, you should learn the moon dance steps, and you should rest after the moon is high. Don't look at me like that, these are the training methods set by the senior brother for you, he said that your foundation is too poor, I am afraid that I will not be able to cooperate well with the moon dance steps, and I need to increase the intensity to lay the foundation. ”

"Got it. 11 asked lightly, "How long is the training?"

"It depends on how much progress you make, maybe a few months is enough. If it's slow, it may take years, or it may not be able to learn in years. ”

Nodding his head, he said, "Moon Dance Steps, I'll learn them." ”
