Chapter 56: Strange vines in the backyard
It's not just Dian Yin who is curious about the power owl vine black spear in his heart, and the yearning for martial arts that are higher than himself is almost the instinct of every martial artist, especially Su Yue, after the battle with the Taishou Mansion and the nine masters of the Bai family, he even more highlighted the shortcomings of his sword skills, and tonight, seeing these eight masters who are inseparable from him are like children with burning sticks in front of Quan Yu, which makes him feel that he has fallen behind. It was not only Su Yue who was shocked by Quan Fei's martial arts tonight www.biquge.info but also Dian Yin and Liao Tingyun who had similar thoughts to him. Therefore, when Quan Ou pushed open the wooden fence in the backyard, Su Yue, Liao Tingyun and Dian Yin all followed him as if they were enchanted, and they all seemed to know that the secret was in this mysterious backyard mountain forest.
There is a damp path in the backyard, and the trail is covered with moss, and you can squeeze out cool water when you step on it. Tong Xi followed at the end, he did not have the solid lower game and superb martial arts of the four people in front of him, so he always took one step and three steps. Although the night came, some faint jasper-colored light faintly appeared in the depths of the backyard.
The path at the other end of the fence was cramped, as there seemed to be tall trees on either side, and there was a faint woody scent from the trees. The soles of Tong Xi's feet slipped again, and his hands pressed on the tree, feeling that the bark was also wet. The feeling of being soft like snot gave her goosebumps.
After walking for a while, it suddenly dawned on. It turned out to be a large square courtyard. The woody fragrance in this backyard is strong, and all kinds of vines and trees surround this yard, almost impermeable to the wind, but it does not feel stuffy. There are also dense foliage on the top to cover it. What's even more strange is that the trail is so damp that there is not a single mosquito in this backyard. The four corners of the courtyard wall are lined with long, fluorescent vines, which are the light source seen on the path and the reason why it is as bright as day.
Quan Fei said: "At that time, I lived in seclusion in this mountain for a few years, and came from the east to a Qi master who traveled in Youzhou and was profound, named Delong, this mage Qi is superb, especially good at making vines, and admires the martial arts of our Central Plains people very much, and the old man has been admiring Qi Shu for a long time, so we hit it off and learned from each other. At first, the old man was also very worried, our martial arts were practiced since childhood, and he was almost in his twilight years at that time, he had no foundation at all, and he might not be able to hold a gun, so how could he talk about dancing with two guns? The speed with which it can get started and the speed with which it progresses is simply amazing. We spent two years together, and he learned my marksmanship, and I learned his Qi skills. ”
After speaking, he sighed: "To say that the Qi people are really the children of the earth, their familiarity and control of nature are beyond the reach of you and me." You see that kind of long vine that glows, it's called a fluorescent vine. This vine is like fluorite, absorbing enough sunlight during the day, and at night it can be lit up for most of the night. There is also a kind of mosquito repellent tree, do you smell the fragrance, this kind of tree grows to adulthood, and there are no mosquitoes in a radius of a mile. There is also the kind of iron wood tree that was used by the Qi people for hunting, the tree is as hard as iron, and the Qi people often use the trunk as a spear and the branches as arrows. ”
When everyone heard him say this, they couldn't help but be amazed, especially Tong Xi, who smelled the mosquito repellent tree for a while, looked at the fluorescent vine for a while, and touched the iron wood tree for a while. The mosquito repellent tree looked like an oak tree, with a straight trunk, tall and straight. The bark and branches and leaves of the tree all exude a strange fragrance, especially the bark and trunk are the most fragrant, which makes people smell the spirit. In fact, there are thick and thin, thick and short, thin and long, thick like broken wood, thin like grass vine, thick rattan is bright yellow light, thin rattan is a faint yellow-green light. This shrub glows at night to attract phototaxis insects. The name of the firewood tree is actually a shrub that is not thick, and the thickest is no more than the shaft of a gun, which is hard and brittle. As a weapon, its most powerful thing is not the trunk, but the branches, which the Qi people call firewood arrows, and are often used as natural arrows for hunting. Once the firewood arrow is shot into the body of a person or prey, it is very easy to break when it is pulled out, so the person who is shot is very susceptible to infection, often the foot breaks the leg, the hand breaks the arm, and the other parts are shot, only waiting for death, so the deterrent effect is great. In fact, at that time in the deer forest, when Alinbo's tribe besieged Dian Yin and Su Yue, there were Qi people holding firewood arrows, and thanks to Su Yue's strong martial arts, they took it first.
Tong Xi was walking and watching, but he noticed a strange rattan, five or six feet long, shaped like arms and feet, and similar to the palms and fingers of the forks. Calling loudly to attract people to watch, Quan Ying came over and introduced: "This is a chiroped vine, dioecious, dry and grind the female plant into powder, sprinkle it on the body, and then uproot the male plant, it can attach to you, as long as the smell of the female plant is still there, the male plant on your body can stand for seven days without dying." Master Delong said that when the Qi people hunted in ancient times, if they were bitten off by fierce beasts, they would replace them with a hand-foot vine, from which the name of the hand-foot vine came from. When I fought those people in front of me, I had six hand and foot vines wrapped around my waist. ”
Su Yue said: "We have also seen similar vines in a place called Lulin on the border of Zaide and Huang, but that person's ability to make vines is very different from that of Dashuai, and the power is not very great. Why is that?"
Quan Fei said: "The old man studied with Master Delong for two years, and then studied it himself for more than ten years, and slowly realized that Qishu, like our martial arts, depends on talent and master. And according to the master, Qi Shu is also divided into three, six, nine and so on. Probably what you're seeing is just a few sideways that don't go into the flow. ”
Su Yue and Dian Yin both nodded in understanding.
Quan Fei and Su Yue said: "If you insist on looking for the entrance to the Central Plains, even if you go out of Xinshu and Damu, there will still be open guns and hidden arrows along the way." If you can apply the 'sword snatching duel' and your exquisite sword technique to the vine, then your skill will definitely be doubled. The old man has a copy of "Wood Qi Genealogy", which was left by Master Delong back then. The old man does not fight for fame and fortune. This book is for you, learning the above Qi art will be good for all of you. After speaking, he took out a green cloth bag from his arms, opened it layer by layer, and put it in Su Yue's hand.
Before Su Yue could look at it, he said with a sad face: "How can I understand this Qi language?"
Su Yue left home at a young age, and after the death of Qinglongzi, he joined the army, and since he was a child, he has been with his parents less and more, but he has been working under the tent of Quan Fei all the year round, so in his eyes, he has always regarded Quan Fei as his father, and Quan Fei has always regarded Su Yue as his own child. Even though Su Yue had been guilty after killing Quan You, Quan Yu's words made him feel a lot more relieved, which brought the relationship between the two closer. Therefore, although Quan Yue's words moved Su Yue's heart, it was also similar to the family relationship between father and son, and there was no feeling of awkwardness.
"The old man doesn't understand Qi language, can he learn it well?" Quan Fei smiled, "You don't have to worry about this, there are still Qi people who don't understand our words? After speaking, I opened it and showed it to Su Yue, and sure enough, it was full of Youzhou Chinese characters. I didn't expect this book to be heavy enough, and there was a table of contents. When Su Yue looked at it, he found that it was quite thin, crown trees, shrubs, flowers and plants, all kinds of plants have a special chapter, and of course, long vines are indispensable.
Seeing that Su Yue was staring at Na Qi Pu without blinking, Quan Fei nodded and said: "You are all martial arts masters, the things in this book are of great benefit to you, you learn from each other, communicate with each other, and only by going north can you alleviate a lot of resistance." ”
Dian Yin excitedly came over to look through it with Su Yue, but Liao Tingyun was still cold and disdainful.
Quan Fei didn't seem to see Liao Tingyun, and said, "Let's go back to eat first, it's not early." Let's rest early tonight and go down the mountain together tomorrow morning. After speaking, Su Yue took the parchment book into his arms. Dianyin also turned back. Tong Rhino came over to pull Liao Tingyun, but was thrown away. Tong Xi was also used to her temperament, and he couldn't feel her pulse, so he didn't pay attention to her, leaving her alone and slowly following behind.
Su Yue and Quan Fei side by side, said as they walked: "Tomorrow, we can go down the mountain by ourselves, and the handsome don't need to be sent." ”
Quan Fei said: "The old man didn't send you. This Xinshu Taishou is a child's temper, irritable temperament, indefinite in doing things, and loves to show off. The surnamed Bai went back to report to him, and he had to pretend to come and arrest me for a while?"
Su Yue was ashamed, lowered his head and said, "It's the shaft that dragged down the handsome." Quan Fei waved his hand and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? Wu Chishan has always invited me to Caizhuang as a guest. I really wanted to go, but I was too lazy to walk down the aisle, so now I have to go. Can't I thank you for that?"
The two laughed, led everyone into the hut, drank and ate, and said nothing that night.
