Chapter 990: Four Elephant Palms

Liu Yu pushed open the door and saw that the exterminator was meditating, he gently walked to the extermination master's side and stood there quietly, just waiting for the extermination master's order, and did not disturb the exterminator. And the exterminator didn't seem to have the intention of speaking again, but just dialed the Buddha beads in his hand one by one.

Time passed quietly, but the master and apprentice in the meditation room seemed to be still, and the surrounding environment with only the sound of wind made it seem as if the place was completely frozen. I don't know how long it took, the exterminator suddenly opened her eyes, and she looked at her apprentice, and saw him standing there quietly, with no anxious look on his face.

Liu Yu saw that the exterminator was looking at him, and moved slightly. At this time, the exterminator had already come down and stood side by side with Liu Yu: "Since you came here, you must have gone to the martial arts training ground today?" ”

"Yes. Senior Sister Ji said, Master, do you have something to do with me? Liu Yu replied respectfully.

The exterminator did not answer his words, but asked about his injuries: "Are all the injuries on your body healed?" Although the exterminator was asking, he didn't wait for Liu Yu to answer, but directly reached out and pulled Liu Yu's arm, opened his sleeve to look at his wound, and pinched the acupuncture points of the muscles and bones: "Hmm...... It's too good to be true. Immediately afterwards, the exterminator put down Liu Yu's hand: "Come with me." After saying this, the exterminator took the lead in leaving the meditation room. She took Liu Yu to the place where Guo Xiang and Fengling Shitai were enshrined. "Incense." After the exterminator finished worshipping herself, she instructed Liu Yu to do the same.

Liu Yu took the incense from the extermination master and bowed three times to the tablet. At this time, he was very puzzled in his heart, and he didn't know what the exterminator was going to do. And Liu Yu's next move surprised Liu Yu even more, he saw his master walk to the corner of the wall, and he didn't know what mechanism he touched, and a sound sounded on one of the walls in the room. A moment later, a small door appeared in front of him.

The exterminator had already taken two steps forward, and seeing that Liu Yu hadn't followed, his brows furrowed slightly and he called out: "Don't keep up yet." Liu Yu woke up as if from a dream and hurriedly followed his master's footsteps.

Behind this door is a narrow corridor, and there is a permanent light every hundred steps. The light of the ever-bright lamp was very faint, and it added much light to the dim walkway. The aisle spiraled downward and was so narrow that only one person was allowed to walk through, and the exterminator master and Liu Yu walked deeper one after the other.

The two of them walked for about a quarter of an hour before they came to a new door. At this time, the exterminator turned his head and pointed to a place at Liu Yu: "Take a good look at the mechanism here." Then she showed Liu Yu how to open the mechanism.

When the stone door opened, the two of them suddenly saw a stone room in front of them, which was very large, and there were far more permanent lights around it than outside. The whole room is extremely bright. Liu Yu walked in with the exterminator, and subconsciously looked up and down at the stone room. This stone room was found, except for a small bookshelf in the southeast corner with dozens of volumes. It's empty, and there's nothing to look at.

The exterminator only let Liu Yu stand on the periphery, and walked to the center of the stone room by himself, and his voice still had a usual faint tone when he spoke: "There is a 'Four Elephant Palms' in this sect, this set of palms has a square in the circle, yin and yang, and hides the yin and yang of heaven and earth, and the four images of movement and tranquility in the square circle. It can be called the world's best learning, you can see it carefully. ”

Immediately afterwards, Liu Yu saw that the exterminator was too moving, and demonstrated this set of palm techniques to him, and at the same time explained to him: "There is a square in the circle. Yin and yang are combined, those who are round outside are yang, those who are square in the middle are yin, those who are round and moving are the sky, those who are still are the earth, the yin and yang of heaven and earth, and the square and the circle are moving and static......*"

Liu Yu stared closely at the movements of the exterminating master, this set of palm techniques did live up to its reputation as a peerless master, although it was only a martial art of the Middle Thousand Worlds, but when it came to the subtlety of the changes, I am afraid that it could not even match the top martial arts of many Great Thousand Worlds.

The basic palm of the four elephants is not complicated, there are only four moves in total, and each move only has eight styles, but the magic is that each of its moves and each style can be disassembled at will, just like the "Book of Changes" - the four elephants give birth to eight trigrams, and the eight trigrams turn all things.

After a while, the exterminator was too powerful and looked at Liu Yu: "How, how many do you understand?" ”

Liu Yu pursed his lips, not daring to show his eyesight and memory too much, and said with reservations: "Only fifty percent...... There are a lot of changes in the intervening period...... I didn't figure it out......"

Unexpectedly, the extermination master nodded: "Fifty percent is good, in the past, when I first saw your ancestor Fengling Master Tai use this kung fu, I only understood thirty percent, in fact, in terms of understanding, you are better than being a teacher." ”

Although the extermination master was just a bland statement, Liu Yu did not dare to slack off: "Master has won the award, Liu Yu does not dare to ......"

The exterminator shook his head slightly: "What the teacher said is the truth, and there is nothing to dare to." She paused for a moment and then spoke: "From today onwards, you can learn the 'Four Elephant Palms' with me." The 'Four Elephant Palms' is one of the best martial arts in this sect, its principle is taken from the Book of Changes, and the tricks are also in line with the Book of Changes. Guo Xiang, the ancestor of the founding father, Guo Xiang, is the granddaughter of Huang Yaoshi, one of the five masters of the rivers and lakes in the past. It is said that after Patriarch Guo Xiang created this set of 'Four Elephant Palms', Zhang Zhenren of the Wudang School was also amazed when he saw it, saying that he wanted to devote himself to creating a set of 'Taijiquan' that could be compared with the 'Four Elephant Palms'. It's just that after 30 years, I haven't heard of the birth of 'Taijiquan'......"

After the exterminator was too proud, he carefully admonished: "...... If you want to cultivate the 'Four Elephant Palms' to the fullest, you must be proficient in the number of Yi Li, you can study the "Book of Changes" more in your spare time, and now the teacher will explain to you the changes of the 'Four Elephant Palms', you pay attention to the ......"

The Four Elephant Palms themselves are not difficult to learn, and after careful decomposition, there are only 32 styles. However, these 32 forms can be arbitrarily coordinated with each other, and if they are used according to the theory of Yi Li, they can produce endless subtle changes, so these four elephant palms can be said to be a kind of palm method that is easy to learn and difficult to master.

Although Liu Yu is not proficient in the Book of Changes, his memory is extremely amazing, and even if he can't combine moves by himself, he can remember all the changes that the exterminator has performed. It's just that he still cares about the Heavenly Dao in the end, and he didn't show all this achievement in front of the extermination master. Although now Liu Yu has gotten rid of the direct control of the Heavenly Dao. But he didn't dare to guarantee that Tiandao would spy on him, an important supporting character in the original book, so it was still necessary to keep a low profile!

Liu Yu was in the center of the stone room, and only showed fifty percent of his learning results to the exterminator, but he still got her praise. The exterminator beckoned to Liu Yu, led him to the bookshelf in the southeast corner of the stone room, and pointed to one of the grids: "The books on this have some of Yi Li's works that Wei Shi has collected over the years, and there are also some experiences of Wei Li. Take these and see them first, if there is anything you don't understand. Just come over and ask me, you and Xiaofu will come over later......"

Liu Yu nodded, obediently listened to the instructions of the exterminator, and walked out with the book handed to him by the exterminator. After putting the book in his room, Liu Yu fulfilled the instructions of the extermination master. In order to confirm one of his thoughts, he went to the place where he practiced martial arts in the back mountain. He moves relatively quickly. It's not time to go there yet. Many disciples are still practicing martial arts, and some are young and lazy, and they will rest and be lazy when they see that this will be left unattended.

Liu Yu didn't pay too much attention to the peers around him, but focused on Ji Xiaofu. At this moment, Ji Xiaofu's martial arts practice is extraordinary, every move is elegant and high, without a trace of fire. But with Liu Yu's eyesight, you can see the fierce murder contained in it.

Sure enough, it was impossible for the Heavenly Dao to let the exterminator give up Ji Xiaofu too lightly! Liu Yu's steps paused for a moment, and his heart was not completely bitter, but he felt relieved. At least. This shows that Tiandao is not doing anything in secret, which alleviates Liu Yu's inexplicable worries a lot.

Liu Yu stood there quietly for a while, watching Ji Xiaofu practicing swords not far away, what she was practicing now was the most exquisite "Jade Xiao Swordsmanship" in Emei. This was the proud skill of the Eastern Evil Yellow Medicine Master back then, in addition to his personal disciple Cheng Ying, only the granddaughter of the little Eastern Evil Guo Xiang was taught.

After about a moment, Jing Xuan loudly announced that today's practice was over, and I saw that all the disciples had gradually collected their martial arts moves, and they gathered together in twos and threes and walked back. When many people saw Liu Yu, they greeted him. At this time, Jingxu also saw Liu Yu: "Senior brother, are you better?" I haven't had a chance to ask you about it just now. ”

"Thank you Senior Sister Jingxu for your concern, Liu Yu's injury is not serious, and he is almost better now."

Jingxu walked over and patted Liu Yu: "Are you here to practice?" Today's practice is over, in fact, your injury is just right, it is better to rest for a few more days. ”

Liu Yu replied with a smile: "I came to find Senior Sister Ji." ”

"Looking for me?" Ji Xiaofu, who was standing not far away, heard them talking about him, turned to look at Liu Yu with a little surprise, and after a pause, he walked towards this side: "Senior brother, do you have something to do with me?" ”

Liu Yu shook his head: "Master asked you to go with me to find her." ”

Ji Xiaofu glanced at Liu Yu and responded quietly.

Liu Yu and Ji Xiaofu came to the outside of Mrs. Extermination's house, the two glanced at each other, but Liu Yu went and knocked on the door: "Master, Senior Sister Ji and I are here." ”

"Come in."

After the two walked in, they saw the exterminator standing with his back to the two. After a while, the exterminator Taicai turned around, and his face was still with the usual indifferent expression: "Xiao Fu has been practicing the 'Jade Flute Sword Technique' for a few days, how do you feel?" ”

"Back to Master, the 'Jade Flute Sword Technique' is exquisite, and the ten moves that Master taught before Xiaofu have not yet been fully practiced."

"Don't rush, take your time." The exterminator looked at Liu Yu again: "What about Yu'er?" ”

Liu Yu said with some sneer: "Back to Master, I read the book yesterday, Yi Li is broad and profound, and I really don't understand a lot of things. Although Liu Yu's memory can allow him to memorize all the Yi Li books in one night, his comprehension is not so strong, at least his comprehension ability in Yi Li makes him feel anxious.

The exterminator snorted: "You don't have to be in a hurry, Yi Li's cultivation should be gradual." After she asked a few simple questions, she talked about the real meaning of calling them over: "'Jade Xiao Sword Technique' and 'Four Elephant Palms' are two of the most exquisite martial arts handed down by the master, and since the master taught them to the two of you separately, he is putting the burden of Emei on you." ”

When Ji Xiaofu and Liu Yu heard Mrs. Exterminator say this, they both knelt down, and they didn't even dare to say anything.

I saw that the exterminator Taiyi flicked his sleeves, and there was already a stern tone between his words: "Why don't you dare? When Master was a little older than you. Your ancestors taught me the position of the head of Emei. Since Master is interested in the two of you, you should take up this responsibility. ”

Liu Yu and Ji Xiaofu heard what the exterminator said, how dare they make a mistake, so they naturally shouted in unison: "Yes." ”

The exterminator nodded with satisfaction: "In addition, there is another matter for the master to call you here today. The two of you have been practicing the 'Blue Wave Formula' for several years, and the foundation has been established. Now Yu'er is practicing the 'Four Elephant Palms', and Xiaofu is practicing the 'Jade Flute Swordsmanship', and it is no longer enough to practice internal skills through the 'Bibo Jue'. So, starting today. You can practice 'Emei Jiuyang Gong' with your teacher. ”

Since then, Liu Yu and Ji Xiaofu have no longer practiced the "Bibo Jue", but practiced the advanced internal skill of the Emei faction "Emei Jiuyang Gong" with the extermination master. Ji Xiaofu concentrated on practicing the "Jade Flute Sword Technique", while Liu Yu put his mind on the "Four Elephant Palms". And this competition containing the battle of the fourth generation of first apprentices came to an end. It is foreseeable that the fourth generation of Emei heads will inevitably be born between Liu Yu and Ji Xiaofu. And Jingxu and the others will have a hard time having a chance to fight after this competition.

The days of the Emei faction passed little by little. Not long after the contest ended. A letter of worship was sent to Mount Emei. At that time, the extermination master was teaching the disciples martial arts in the back mountain.

Liu Yu took the prayer post from the nephew who was guarding the mountain gate, and handed it to the extermination master in front of his wife with the post he had sent in his hand: "Master, the old man of the Golden Whip Ji has sent a prayer post, and he wants to come to Emei on the Mid-Autumn Festival of the next month." ”

Just as the exterminator was looking at the post, Ji Xiaofu walked over to this side. She was standing not far away, and when she heard Liu Yu say that her father was coming, she couldn't help but come here to see the situation. "Daddy is coming?" Ji Xiaofu heard the news. Yuhan said happily: "I haven't seen my father for a long time." ”

"That's right, it's indeed the old hero Ji who is coming." The exterminator handed the post to Ji Xiaofu too easily, and when she saw Ji Xiaofu looking at her expectantly, she said lightly: "You have to practice martial arts well before the fifteenth day of next month." On the fifteenth, Master allowed you not to practice, and to receive Ji Lao Hero with Master. Seeing Ji Xiaofu's smile all of a sudden, the exterminator shook his head slightly: "Such a big person, how can he still look like a child." ”

Ji Xiaofu pursed her lips and suppressed her smile. But the corners of her mouth were still crooked, and her eyes couldn't stop showing a smile, and the whole person was a little shy because of the words of the extermination master, and replied in a low voice: "The disciple knows, Master." ”

Many disciples in the sect cast envious glances at this side. Most of the disciples accepted by Emei are children who are lonely and miserable due to wars, famines, or other natural disasters, and most of them have no homes. Not to mention their families, not even a person outside the mountain who cares about them. So at this time, when I heard that Ji Xiaofu's father came to see Ji Xiaofu, many disciples were silently envious in their hearts.

On the fifteenth, the old hero of the Golden Whip Ji came to Emei on time, and Ji Xiaofu welcomed him in with the exterminator. Because of Ji Xiaofu's learning from the extermination master, the relationship between Ji Lao Hero and Emei is very good, and there is not so much politeness between the two parties.

After the three of them exchanged pleasantries, Ji Lao Hero put forward his intention: "Since the little girl worships under the Shitaimen, she should have concentrated on cultivation, but I am a middle-aged woman, just such a descendant, after all, I hope she will have a good home." ”

After hearing Ji Lao Ying's words, the exterminator paused, and pondered for a long time before he said: "Ji Lao Hero's meaning is poor, Xiao Fu will not become a monk, and now that she is old, it is time to consider marriage." ”

Ji Xiaofu blushed when she heard her master and father talking about her life's events. And Zhao Lingzhu, who was with her on the side, squeezed her eyebrows and made some small movements at her, which made her even more shy.

How could these little exterminators not feel it, she coughed, and without waiting for Ji Lao Hero to speak, she first ordered: "Xiaofu, the tea is a little cold, you go and bring a pot of hot tea." ”

Ji Xiaofu saw that his master said this, how could he have two words, so he hurriedly went out. When Ji Lao Hero saw his daughter showing the posture of a little daughter, he couldn't help but smile, and the exterminator also smiled faintly.

"Nowadays, there are many martial arts talents, and I don't know which young hero Ji values." The exterminator turned around and asked what Ji Lao Hero meant.

Ji Lao Hero looked a little cramped: "Wudang's Yin Liuxia is known as a chivalrous name, and he matches the age of the little girl, so he ......"

The exterminator raised his eyebrows: "Wudang has been friends with Emei for generations, and they have always had a good relationship, since Ji Lao Hero belongs to him, Poor Ni has no opinion." Moreover, the poor nun is already an outsider, and he doesn't want to ask more about Hongchen, so at this time, it's all up to Ji Lao Hero to make his own decisions. ”

In fact, the old hero of the Golden Whip Ji came to Emei this time because he heard that the exterminator had the intention of cultivating his daughter as the heir of the Emei faction, so he rushed up to stop it. As he said, he has a middle-aged daughter, and he cares for Ji Xiaofu very much, so he naturally doesn't want her to end her life as a green lamp ancient Buddha, after all, no one has married the fourth generation of Emei disciples, and the previous three heads are all monks...... However, to his surprise, the exterminator didn't seem to have much opinion on his arrangement, so the matter was settled. (To be continued......)
