Volume 1 The Human World Chapter 98 The First Victory
Xu Xuan's face was burning and he was ashamed, but Lin Lingsu shook his head and said hesitantly: "No, no, according to the beating you just now, the first person to be stabbed to death must be this stupid boy surnamed Xu." ”
The two were stunned for a moment, and Lin Lingsu said again: "The two swords are combined, in addition to the combination of yin and yang, the most important thing is to be heart-to-heart, and take care of each other, so that the offense and defense can be unified and invincible." Little goblin, you only care about killing the enemy and making ruthless moves, but you don't think about this kid, but this kid cares about you wholeheartedly, and always makes up for your flaws. The sword just now seems to have cut through the corners of your clothes, but in fact, he blocked it for you, but you rushed to attack with your body, one behind the other, and only then did you have this risk. If he really started with those strange people outside the cave, he would be hacked to death with an axe before he could make three moves. ”
Xu Xuan couldn't help laughing and said, "It turns out that I, a stupid person with no foundation, died like this." ”
Xiao Qing glanced at him, his face turned red, and he argued with self-force: "When life and death are fighting, how can you think forward and backward like him, and be timid? It's strange that I'm not dragged down by him. ”
Lin Lingsu laughed and said: "Although what you said is crooked, [looking forward and backward, timid, these eight characters are well summed up." If someone stutters, it must be because they think too much before they open their mouths, and the more they think about it, the harder it will be to say what they say. This is especially true when facing an enemy battle, the more you think, the slower you spawn. The qi must be turned at will, and the mind must be united. ”
Li Shao said softly: "Emperor Zun is right. That's why you sit together every day. Hearts and minds are interconnected, and when they are fighting, they can form a tacit understanding in an instant. In addition, the thirty-six swords we have taught may seem simple, but they cover the moves to resist the opponent's attacks from all directions, and as long as you are skillful, even if you can't kill the enemy by chopping melons and vegetables, it is enough to protect yourself and let you come and go freely in the middle of this group of strange people. ”
Xiaoqing didn't say anything at this time, pulled out the long sword again, and practiced with Xu Xuan.
Unconsciously more than an hour passed, until Xu Xuan was sweating profusely and his breath was not continuous, Lin Lingsu signaled the two to rest. Although the cooperation between the two is still quite rusty, it is much smoother than stumbling and dragging mud and water.
At this time, the sunset is all over the sky, the red sun has been blocked by several hanging mountains in the west, and half of the sky lake is shining with golden light. The wind blew against the undulating forest waves, and the temperature was noticeably cooler.
The air screamed and screamed, and a flock of large birds swept over in the dark. Suddenly, silver light danced wildly, and dozens of sword lights shot into the sky. In an instant, hundreds of big birds fell into the mountains and grassy slopes with a sad cry, and were plundered and snatched away by strange people hiding everywhere, and then dissipated to Yu Jingjing.
Xu Xuan Da Rin, the strange people control the sword fast and ruthlessly, they can take people's heads dozens of zhang away, hundreds of people are in one place, and the power is even more terrifying. If you rush out of the hole, you are afraid that the end will be the same as these tired birds returning to the forest.
Not long after, the smoke of cooking in the mountains and forests was everywhere, and the smell of barbecue wafted in the wind. The four of them practiced in the cave for a long time, and they were all hungry, and their index fingers moved even more when they smelled it.
Lin Lingsu closed his eyes and sniffed a few times, and said, "Okay, it's time for dinner." Xu boy, little goblin, you go and grab a few roasted birds and come back. ”
Xu Xuan and Xiaoqing glanced at each other, and wanted to turn around and pick up the two demons, but Lin Lingsu suddenly opened his eyes again and shouted: "If you leave us and you can't even grab a few birds back, how can you escape from here and search for the 'Heaven Refining Stone Map,'?" You've learned enough moves today to deal with for a while, so go."
The two had no choice but to jump out of the cave side by side. Li Shao's slightly soft voice came from behind him: "Remember, heart to heart, mind to mind, qi to turn at will, offense and defense to obey." ”
In the past few days, Xu Xuan's wind control technique has made great progress, and after getting the guidance of the two demons, he is more familiar and comfortable, and at this time, he and Xiaoqing are swept side by side, and it is not too difficult. The two followed the aroma and rushed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, they rushed into the mountains and forests in the southwest.
In the bonfires, dozens of strange people are sitting in groups by the stream and the grassy slope, roasting the big birds that have just been killed, "crackling" and overflowing.
The little green belt flew, entangled a few roast birds like lightning, grabbed them, and then immediately turned around and swept away.
The strange people did not expect that they would dare to rush to grab food at this time, and they were caught off guard, shocked and angry, and roared and chased after them.
In an instant, the light danced, the air exploded, and the swords, guns, and sticks broke through the air in all directions.
The first to be attacked was the sword in the rear left, then the axe in the right, and then the spear in the front left...... Xu Xuan's thoughts flew, and the moves he had learned during the day naturally responded to the pressure, first with a "wind shaking bamboo wave", swinging away the long sword, and then immediately turned around to the front of Xiaoqing, and when she shook the axe, she struggled to knock the whistling spear away.
The two practiced hard for a day, although the cooperation was quite rusty, but they had initially had the awareness of taking care of each other, hurriedly shuttling each other, maneuvering to attack and defend, seemingly full of dangers, but always avoided at a critical moment.
The strange people in the vicinity heard the howling and rushed after them. The silver light danced wildly, and the sharp and fierce waves of qi rubbed the edge of the two people, crashing and passing through, roaring and shaking, becoming more and more dangerous.
Fortunately, this mountain forest is the closest to the cave, and the two of them are running at full speed while closing their swords together and blocking the weapons attacking from all sides in a thrilling manner.
Seeing that he was about to rush back into the hole, a figure suddenly rushed out in front of him, the light waves were flying, and there was a continuous sound of "bang", Xu Xuan's arm was numb, his back and shoulders were cut by the air waves, and blood was splashed.
The two of them blocked a few moves in a row, and the fishy sweetness in their throats swelled, and it was difficult to parry, so they had to turn over and sweep back together. Xu Xuan saw the man's face clearly, and his heart sank with anger. The person who came was actually a young man in Tsing Yi who had a close relationship with the girl in purple
The young man in Tsing Yi paused and stared at Xu Xuan in surprise, as if he also recognized who he was, and a look of hesitation flashed in his eyes. Glancing at Xiaoqing again, he whispered "Ah", his face turned purple, and his whole body seemed to freeze instantly.
How could Xiaoqing miss such an opportunity? Taking advantage of the situation, a few swords attacked like lightning and almost stabbed him. Xu Xuan hesitated slightly, and then rushed forward.
The young man in Tsing Yi flew backwards, and waved his sword lightly to block, but his eyes were always staring at Xiao Qing like a magnet, his expression was confused and in a trance, until he heard the shouts of those strange people, he woke up like a dream, lowered his voice, and said a long series of words to the two of them, and then flashed to the left, pretending to be slashed by the tip of Xiao Qing's sword, and shouted and turned over and jumped away.
The two were stunned for a moment, not knowing why he wanted to give way to life, at this time the strange people had chased within ten zhang, and they had no time to think about it, and the two swords flew staggered, swinging away the various weapons that were whistling and crashing from behind, and rushed into the cave at full speed.
The two of them stepped into the cave on tiptoe, and the strange men immediately stopped their pursuit, gathered their weapons, stood around coldly, and then disappeared into the twilight like ghosts.
Lin Lingsu clapped his hands and smiled: "Very good, very good, as your first time together, it is quite good." After a few more days of practice, we will be able to go to the stream and catch a few fish for us. ”
Xu Xuan and Xiaoqing were shocked, the wind blew, their whole bodies were sore, and they were soaked in cold sweat, as if they had collapsed, they leaned against the stone wall, gasping for breath.
It's just two miles away, but it's like walking through the ghost gate. After this catastrophe, the two unconsciously became intimate again, turned their heads to look at each other, their cheeks were burned, and they wanted to laugh, but they didn't even have the strength to laugh.
Two of the five roast birds that Xiaoqing snatched also fell, half-cooked and covered with mud. But the people were hungry at this time, and they couldn't take much care of it.
Xu Xuan untied the roast bird from Xiaoqing's ribbon, threw two to Lin Lingsu and Li Shaowei, patted the remaining one off the mud, tore it in half, and ate it with Xiaoqing.
The loot was exceptionally delicious. The bird meat is thick and tough, bitter and sour, but at this time, it tastes better than cooking by yourself, and it is far better than the famous dishes of any chef in Lin'an. Xu Xuan devoured too much of a hurry, the tip of his nose and face were covered with sludge, and Xiaoqing couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.
Lin Lingsu quickly ate the whole big bird, licked his oily fingers, and sighed: "It is said that all the immortals who live in Penglai are his grandmother's, these immortals can't even roast a bird, and the hard board doesn't chew at all, I think they still call it." ”
Everyone laughed. After this day of getting along, the hostility and vigilance between the four of them have subsided a lot, and at this time they were able to eat again, they were in a good mood, and their speech gradually became casual.
Xu Xuan had a question in his heart that he had hidden for a long time, and couldn't help but ask Lin Lingsu: "These people have Qin and Han, Jin and Tang, how can they understand each other's words when they get together?" What were they yelling about? ”
Lin Lingsu said hesitantly: "What they say is neither the language of the Qin and Han dynasties, nor the official language of the Three Kingdoms and the Two Jins, nor the language of the Sui and Tang dynasties, but the ancient words spoken by the ancient snake clan. ”
"Snake Clan?" Xu Xuan and Xiaoqing were stunned.
Lin Lingsu said: "Back then, Nuwa used the four remaining five-colored stones to ambush the four fierce beasts, sealing the Qinglong in the East China Sea, the White Tiger in Kunlun, the Xuanwu in the North Sea, and the Vermilion Bird trapped in the South Pole. In order to make these four beasts never able to escape, they sent the elite division of the snake clan to guard these four places for generations. Later, although Kunlun was hit by the Gonggong and was not well organized, the other three mountains have been preserved, and the vicissitudes of life are changing, but the old customs of ancient times are still retained on these three sacred mountains.
He broke a thin bird bone and picked his teeth, smacked, and said, "For thousands of years, I don't know how many people have come here to Penglai to look for immortals." Some of these speak the Warring States dialect, some speak the Han and Jin languages, and some speak the Chang'an official dialect of the Sui and Tang dynasties...... You can't understand it, and I can't say it clearly, the donkey's head is not in the horse's mouth. Later, as a last resort, everyone could only follow the local customs and learn to speak the ancient snake language, so that they could communicate. ”
