Chapter 3: Sword Practice

"Hey, Xiliang! Xiliang, come on, I'll show you a baby, I've caught him! "Senior brother Dinghong, a full fighter, likes to compete with swords, likes to cut down trees when he doesn't read scriptures in his spare time, and you can't see him stop except meditating.

"What? Big brother. Xi Liang was holding the "Strange Beast Record" at this time, wearing a wide gray robe, and the cuffs were folded and folded before his little hands leaked. He asked, putting down the book and turning his head sideways.

Xiliang has been here for almost a month, borrowing all kinds of books from the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion during the day, or removing weeds from all over the mountaintop, and meditating at night according to the posture that the master said, and there is still no sense of qi that the master said for most of the month, and getting up every morning is not the posture of last night's meditation. Life was very uneventful.

As for the black ring that appeared on his left hand inexplicably, it was not uncomfortable to take it off and wear it, so Xi Liang ignored it.

"What did you catch? Big brother. Xiliang walked up to Dinghong and asked.

"Look." Dinghong spread out his hand, and there was a small colorful beetle in the palm of his hand.

"It's beautiful!" Xiliang said.

Dinghong raised his hand in front of Xiliang's eyes, and then pinched the beetle's head,

The beetle's butt spewed out a cloud of white mist.

"Uh... It stinks! Stinks to death! Xiliang was sprayed by the white mist, and rolled on the ground with his eyes closed and pinching his nose.

"Hahaha, it's a spank." Ding Hong bent over with a smile, laughed for a while, saw that Xiliang was so uncomfortable, and hurriedly went to fetch a basin of water to help Xiliang wash his face.

"I'm going to ignore you anymore! Big brother! Xi Liang turned around with a straight face and walked towards "Strange Beasts".

"Hey! Don't, I was wrong, I'm sorry. Dinghong hurriedly said. 6-year-old Xiliang is just up to Dinghong's waist.

"Xiliang! I taught you great swordsmanship, can you learn it? Dinghong squatted down and said to Xiliang.

"Really? I'll learn! Xiliang immediately turned around and replied.

"Hahahaha, you go back and change your clothes first, I'll go find you a sword, and I'll wait for you here later." Dinghong stood up and said.

"Good!" After speaking, Xiliang picked up the book and ran towards his hut.

Not long after, Xiliang stood in front of Dinghong in short-sleeved shorts, the wound scratched by the leopard on his left forearm had healed, and his chest was almost better, and his senior sister would help him change the dressing every day.

Dinghong handed him a short iron sword that had been cut off, and said, "Follow me." Then he took a step and began to lead the way.

Xi Liang dragged the iron sword to follow behind, although the iron sword was truncated, it was still very heavy for Xi Liang.

After walking for a while, Dinghong stopped in front of the diamond pear grove where he often cut down trees, turned back to Xiliang and said:

"I'll show you first."

After speaking, Dinghong held the sword in one hand, his eyes were instantly sharp, and he rushed into the pear grove and chopped it, Xiliang watched him flicker and move, and he didn't know how to do it.

After 2 minutes, Dinghong stopped, and a layer of leaves fell on the ground.

"How? Brat? ”

"......" Xiliang looked at Dinghong with wide eyes, and opened his mouth and didn't know what to comment.

"Uh... Ahem, I know I'm scared of you, you can't learn this yet, I'll teach you the basics first, come here. ”

Dinghong led Xiliang to a stump of a large King Kong pear tree that had been split into a "Y" shape, and said:

"You chop for half an hour first, the next plate must be steady, holding the sword in both hands, you must hold the hilt of the sword tightly, and hold it with the greatest strength, otherwise it is easy to hurt the muscles. I'll give you an example. ”

After saying that, Dinghong's left leg lunge was in front, the sword was raised above his head, and he slashed it vigorously, and a few pieces of sawdust bounced off the stump, and then changed to a lunge with his right leg, and split a sword.

Xi Liang learned to pose in the same pose, and the senior brother patted his leg and said, "Very good, that's it, let's practice." ”

Xi Liang slashed his sword on the tree stump, like slashing on a stone, Zhen's arm was numb, and he almost couldn't hold the sword, and there was not a single trace left on the stump.

"Senior brother, can I beat a leopard if I practice like this?"

"Haha, the most powerful leopard won't dare to fight you after training." Dinghong closed his eyes at this time, and whenever a fallen leaf fell, the sword pierced every leaf accurately as if it had eyes.

After getting the reply from the senior brother, Xi Liang split it seriously, and the anti-shock force made him let go of his hand a little every time, and his palm quickly turned red.

Half an hour later, Xi Liang's hands grinded eight big blisters, his shoulders were also sore and unbearable, and after splitting the last sword, he sat on the ground with his butt.

Dinghong walked over and saw Xiliang's hand and said:

"I'm practicing tomorrow, let's go to the Danfang to find some medicine first, and I'll go down the mountain to find you a thinner sword."

Returning the same way, Xiliang was sweating, and there was wind on the top of the mountain, blowing through Xiliang's exposed skin, and he shivered. Dinghong silently took off his robe and put it on Xiliang.

"Under the moon a pot of wine, the sword danced and asked the weeping willow. The weeping willow knows not to answer, and it is free to travel. Dinghong held his head in his hands and hummed a song quietly.

"Senior brother, do the immortals also drink?" Xiliang asked curiously.

"Haha, the gods also have hurdles that they can't get over." Dinghong said with a smile, "It's almost time to get to the Danfang, you can go over by yourself, Wen Qian should be inside." The clothes will be given to me tomorrow. After saying that, Dinghong turned around and walked towards the path down the mountain.

Wen Qian is the woman who saved Xiliang, and now she is his senior sister, kind-hearted and likes to refine medicine.

"Senior sister! Are you in there? Xi Liang stood at the door of the Danfang and shouted in.

"Here, come in." Wen Qian responded.

The Dan room is very simplely furnished, with a large Dan stove standing in the middle of the door, surrounded by large wooden closets that are as high as the beams of the house, and small drawers are covered with labels.

Wen Qian was sitting on a futon and putting medicinal herbs in the Dan furnace.

"What are you going to get? Little junior brother. Wen Qian asked while weighing the medicinal herbs.

"Senior sister, I have a few blisters on my hands, what medicine should I use?" Xiliang stretched out his hand to show Wen Qian.

"I'll give it to you." Wen Qian stood up and took out a bottle of Earth Dragon Paste from the drawer, "Earth Dragon Paste is very effective for some bloodless wounds, I'll apply it to you." After speaking, Wen Qian opened the porcelain bottle and patiently smeared it to Xiliang.

"How do you get so many blisters?" Wen Qian asked.

"Learn to split the sword and chop the tree with the senior brother." Xi Liang said a little crampedly.

"You're still too young, how can he teach you that!" Wen Qian said indignantly, "Well... Do you want to learn alchemy with me, it's much easier. ”

Xiliang agreed without thinking about it, just like if you ask a child if he wants to eat peaches or pears, he says he wants to eat peaches, and he will eat pears if you give him, as long as it is delicious, he will eat whatever you give.

"Senior sister, is it difficult to refine medicine?" Xiliang asked.

"It's not difficult, the refined medicine can also be exchanged for spirit stones." Wen Qian replied with a smile.

"Then I will practice sword and leopard with my senior brother in the morning, refine medicine and exchange spirit stones with my senior sister in the afternoon, and meditate and practice qi in the evening according to what the master said, but senior sister, can I practice qi and become a god by meditating like that?"

"First of all, you have to have a sense of qi, at night when you close your eyes, it seems that you can see a wisp of white smoke in your body, and when you see white smoke, you can go to the master, and practicing qi is still far from becoming a god."

"And when will I be able to fly?"

"I've been practicing qi for 7 years, and I guess it will take another 7 years to fly."

"Ah, it's going to take so long."

"Don't be discouraged, junior brother, I seem to be a child as old as you yesterday, and I have grown up in a blink of an eye, and time flies quickly! I'm still refining medicine! Little junior brother, don't go, let's get familiar with the medicinal materials here first. After speaking, Wen Qian hurriedly returned to the Dan furnace, opened the furnace and looked inside, and continued to sit down to weigh the medicine.

"Okay, senior sister." Xiliang stood next to Wen Qian and watched her weigh the medicine.

"You go to the closet behind me and get me a blue orchid, on the top floor, don't get the dragon paste on your hand." Wen Qian said.

Xiliang went up the herringbone ladder and found the blue orchid in the middle of the top floor, and there was a jade box when the drawer was opened, and the orchid inside the jade box was still very tender.

Xi Liang carefully pinched the orchid stem and handed the flower to Wen Qian.

"Let's go pick medicine tomorrow, a lot of medicinal materials are gone." Wen Qian took the orchid and said.

"Okay." Xiliang replied.

Wen Qian said that a thick copy of the "Elixir Illustration" beside her handed it to Xi Liang and said, "Here, read it slowly." ”

Xi Liang took the book and sat down on another futon, each page was painted with pictures of different medicinal materials, and an introduction was written next to it, Xi Liang turned over the pages one by one, and he didn't know how much he had memorized.
