20. Try your skills for the first time
Wu Yingshao is an active person, he likes to travel the mountains and rivers the most, if there was a chance to go down the mountain in the past, he begged the elders to take the initiative to run out, but this time it was unusual. Tiaohua persuaded him a few more words, his eyes drifted around, and he reluctantly said, "I don't have to go, right?" Ning Yuan and Ning Ning are all good in cultivation, they can all lead the team. β
Tiaohua said helplessly: "If you really don't want to go, there must be a reason." The acting head of the sect, Bozu, has long been promoting you to be the archdeacon of the Dingjian Pavilion, if you can make a contribution to the treasure hunt mission, wouldn't it be justified for him to mention you? β
Dingjian Pavilion is the palace of Taisu Palace's collection of famous swords in the world, and it has always been only the elder of the sword or his chief disciple who can serve as it. Now the sword elder Chen Yuyi, as the acting head of the sect, cannot concurrently serve as the archdeacon of the Ding Sword Pavilion, and his eldest disciple Qin Yingqi is mediocre, and he has never been his favorite candidate. So, Chen Yuyi put his hope on Wu Yingshao, who had the best swordsmanship.
Although Wu Yingshao has high talent, he is too young to have any qualifications. Chen Yuyi was afraid that his disciples would not accept Wu Yingshao, so he naturally wanted to pave the way for him. Chen Yuyi's thoughts, Wu Yingshao understood, but Yuan Hua revealed in front of Lu Fenfang that he had no cultivation but no combat achievements, which made him so embarrassed. He frowned and looked down, growing more and more unhappy.
Lu Fenfang saw that the two of them had to argue for a while, and it was inconvenient for her to be around, so she got up and said, "I'm a little tired after practicing for so long, go back to the room and rest for a while, you guys can talk slowly." β
"Sister Lu and live. I'm going to ask for your opinion on this matter as well. β
"Huh?" Lu Fenfang sat down suspiciously, she didn't understand what the treasure hunt in Taisu Palace had to do with her. Tiaohua said: "I heard that Sister Lu's hometown is in Qiandi, I don't know which county in Qianzhou?" β
"My hometown is in Qingyan Town." Lu Fenfang came to her senses and asked, "Are you going to go this time?"
"Yes. On behalf of the head of the family, Uncle Xiao, Ning Zhen, Cheng Ling and my team went to Yaoshan in Qianzhou, which is not far from Qingyan Town. β
Lu Fenfang was silent. The homeland of the Taoist priest is difficult to leave, but after seven years of leaving, that homeland is already very strange to her; Her father died, her sister married away, and she had no relatives there.
When she left with her uncle seven years ago, Lu Fenfang only said that she would never return to her hometown, so she broke off the idea of going home. But if she could go back today, she wanted to go back againβit would be good to see her parents' graves.
Lu Fenfang didn't react, but Wu Yingshao frowned and said, "No, Lu Fenfang is already our incense servant, how can I go back to Qiandi again?" β
Tiaohua shook her head and said, "I don't want Sister Lu to go back to Qiandi, it's up to her to decide whether to go or not." I just think that since we have the opportunity to go to Qiandi, if Sister Lu misses her homeland and wants to go back to see it, we can take her for a ride. β
"There are a lot of big demons in Yaoshan, and it's extremely dangerous to go here, so I think it's better not to take her there." Wu Yingshao said.
"I didn't say I was going to take her to Yaoshan. Let's just send her to Qingyan Town, and when we come back from Yaoshan after running errands, we will meet in Qingyan Town. β
Tiaohua said it reasonably, but Lu Fenfang still hesitated. Bofu sneered, "You're worried too, aren't you?" In case they leave you in Qingyan Town without saying goodbye, you can only stare dryly. β
"No, it won't. Tiaohua is upright and won't do that to me. Lu Fenfang dismissed Bofu and said to Tiaohua: "I am willing to accompany you, just ask not to drag you down too much." β
Seeing that Lu Fenfang agreed to go to Qianzhou together, Wu Yingshao was anxious and hurriedly said, "What? Are you going with Ning Zhen and Cheng Ling? No way, no way! Ning Zhen's cultivation is still shallow, Cheng Ling is frivolous, and Miss Lu needs protection, I have to go with you! β
Wu Yingshao's wind direction was inevitably turning too fast, and Lu Fenfang lowered her head and pretended not to hear. Tiaohua nodded and said, "There is one more thing, if Sister Lu goes, she will have to go with Chengling." The matter of Linglingxiang last time has not yet been decided, and the elders mean that the treasure hunt is a big matter, and the rest of the matter can only be put aside for the time being, and I hope that the two of you can release your past suspicions and live in harmony. β
Lu Fenfang is helpless, it seems that this road is too peaceful. Bofu sneered again: "If you sow evil causes, you will have to bear the consequences, and you must face them by yourself!" β
Lu Fenfang said in her heart, I won't run away, let alone be afraid of Chengling. With so many people walking, is she going to kill me with a sword on the road?
When the men had already agreed, they packed up their own bags. Two days later, Lu Fenfang went to Langmei Courtyard to get civilian clothes, wound medicine, silver and so on, according to what Tiaohua said. Lu Xiangfang's parcel has been tidied up, and inside it is an indigo Luo skirt, thirty taels of silver, two bottles of gold sore medicine and two bottles of Huoluo San, and a map of the water system of the Zhangjiang River.
In fact, there is no need to go to the fragrant Yaoshan Road, but now she sees the Mandarin Duck Lake, Cuigu Waterfall, Di'e Forest, Demon Wind Cave, etc. depicted on the map, and she can't help but be fascinated by the beautiful mountains and rivers, and she is very curious about the legendary demon. She's seen a monster like a ghost, but she doesn't know what the other monsters look like? Do you also know how to speak human words, as smart as a ghost?
Lu Fenfang suddenly felt that she should follow Wu Yingshao and them to Yaoshan to have a look. She really wanted to find out whether the Zhuqiu Dan Furnace was one of the treasures of the sea, and she wanted to know the progress of the investigation of the Taisu Palace. If one day they had already found Lu Fenfang's head, and she didn't know it, wouldn't it be extremely dangerous?
Lu Fenfang was looking at the map in a daze, when she suddenly felt a gust of cold wind coming. She subconsciously stepped back, and actually called someone to catch the air. She felt sharp and reacted quickly now, and the South China Sea Butterfly Pill was not in vain.
"You're going to go down the mountain to hunt for treasure?" Cheng Ling glared at Lu Fenfang angrily, her eyebrows almost twisted into a rope. Lu Fenfang was not in a good mood when she saw her, and said lightly: "Senior Sister Yang is good." β
"Huh." Cheng Ling hugged his shoulders, his eyes were about to roll to the sky, "It's really ridiculous, we went to Yaoshan to eliminate demons, but we didn't go to the mountains and rivers, I didn't have time to take you to play blindly!" β
"I'm not going to Yaoshan." Lu Fenfang said, "I just went back to Qingyan Town, Qianzhou to visit relatives, and Sister Tiaohua took me for a while." β
"Hmph. Do you think it's cheap to take Sister Tiaohua's flying sword? Doesn't Edgeworth have to consume True Qi? Useless waste wood will only harm others everywhere! Cheng Ling sneered.
Cheng Ling's words really ignited the anger in Lu Fenfang's heart. Lu Fenfang looked at Cheng Ling with hatred, only to feel that the bougainvillea bush behind her was as dazzling as a fire rushing to the sky. Lu Fenfang gritted her teeth and said, "What are you afraid of consuming true qi?" Sister Tiaohua's cultivation is profound, unlike some people who have to die or live if they consume a little bit of true qi, and they can't slow down after lying in bed for so many days. β
"You!" Cheng Ling heard that Lu Fenfang was satirizing her about Linglingxiang, and reached out to grab Lu Fenfang's collar, and Lu Fenfang slipped and dodged.
As soon as the two of them said a few words, the disciples who had good things quietly looked at the excitement. Cheng Ling's dignified qi practitioner couldn't even catch Lu Xiangfang's mortal women, embarrassed in front of so many people, she couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and the grievances of the past few days suddenly came to her heart, and she forgot all the words that Tiaohua persuaded her, and sneered: "Hmph, Lu Fenfang, I have long seen that you are not scheming to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and the elders don't make decisions for me, so I will seek justice for myself!" β
Cheng Ling was about to draw his sword as he spoke, and then thought about it, do you still need a sword to deal with such a straw bale? At that moment, his palm flew over, and he slapped it towards Lu Fenfang.
"This is the fourth-layer rain gathering palm of Qi training, quickly dodge!"
Lu Fenfang listened to Bofu's order, her arms were raised lightly, and she rose up like a butterfly, and she dodged Cheng Ling's palm. Cheng Ling didn't expect Lu Fenfang to be so good at light weight, and said that it was the result of Wu Yingshao's careful guidance over the past few days, and he was even more angry.
Lu Fenfang's dodge just now seemed to be unhurried, but in fact, it was all a subconscious move of the body, and she didn't know whether she could dodge it or not. Bofu said: "Do you know why her palm technique is called the rain palm?" β
Lu Fenfang hurriedly said: "When is it, tell me the origin of the name of the palm method!" Tell me how to hide! β
Bofu said unhurriedly: "Boxing proverb 'I'd rather suffer ten punches than one palm', not to mention the six layers of Chengling's Qi training, the palm power is even more bearable." If you fall for her 'light rain**' just now, we will only see each other in the next life. β
What the? Was that just a light rain? Lu Fenfang felt a big headache, and while avoiding Cheng Ling's attack, she asked wildly: "How should you tell me how to deal with it!" β
Bofu is still unhurried. He put the words of loss on his lips, but this time he was not worried about Lu Fenfang's life at all. Seeing that Lu Fenfang dodged Cheng Ling's two palms again, Bofu said: "Don't hide next, take her three moves!" Imagine what it would be like if a butterfly landed on your hand? β
What the? Lu Fenfang was panting, flustered in her heart, and she didn't understand at all. I want to ask again, but Cheng Ling's moves are sharp, where can she be crossed. She remembered the first time she went to Mengzhen Cliff, the feeling of the South China Sea butterfly landing on the back of her hand. The butterfly has six legs and is slender, but it can be tightly grasped on the back of her hand, and she can't shake it off; The chest and abdomen are light, and there is nothing attached to the hands. What if she landed on Cheng Ling's palm like a butterfly?
Lu Fenfang didn't dare to think about it. She just took the South China Sea Butterfly Pill, and she hasn't practiced light body kung fu yet, so she doesn't know if she can do it. She was hesitating, and Bofu said, "Here it is! She's going to hit your right chest in this 'bit by dusk'! β
Lu Fenfang knew how high she should jump, and immediately jumped upwards with enough breath, her body was like a clear wind, and she rose in the air like a crane, and her toes were light, landing on the back of Cheng Ling's left palm.
This scene stunned the onlookers and disciples. Cheng Ling's style of "bit by bit" was originally slapped sixteen palms in a row between two breaths, if it was in the middle of the fragrant chest, it would break her ribs at the least, and at worst, her lungs would be shattered, and her life would be worried.
Cheng Ling originally planned to just slap two palms and let Lu Fenfang suffer a little, but who expected her to jump onto the back of her hand. Suffering from this great humiliation, Cheng Ling was not annoyed or bored, but calmed down. She made up her mind that she would not be soft again, the elders would punish her for three years, if she didn't kill Lu Xiangfang today, she would no longer have the shame to stay in Qiyun Mountain to cultivate!
"She's going to grab your ankles, and she won't come down yet!"
Lu Fenfang jumped backwards and landed on top of the bougainvillea flower like a butterfly. Bofu said angrily: "It's too much, you don't pretend to fall off!" β
Lu Fenfang understood, and before everyone could see it clearly, she stepped into the air and fell into the flowers. Cheng Ling hurriedly caught up, his palms flew up, but it was the final form of the rain palm, "how many buildings are in the smoke and rain", the palm shadow in the sky is like smoke and rain everywhere, and the real power is endless, and the bougainvillea flowers are torn apart like red rain in the sky!
The flowers fell in disarray, and pieces of red silk slid across the clear sky, like blood splashing. Cheng Ling tore off the empty branches and leaves with a few palms, and then slashed behind the flowers.
"Bang-"
Cheng Ling was bounced away by a fierce true qi and fell heavily on the brick floor. The disciples exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly came to help her. Cheng Ling wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and raised his head, but in the entire field of vision, he only saw Wu Yingshao's cloudy face.
"What are you doing?"
