Chapter 7 Huaishui Soup

At this moment, the laughter of "fluttering" on the river came, and when I turned my head to look, a two-story boat more than five feet long approached the river bank, and the mast of the ship was hung high with a wind lantern wrapped in green yarn, which turned out to be a flower boat in the world of amusement.

There were six or seven people standing at the bow of the boat pointing to themselves, and one of them was a beautiful maid with knotted hair and a double beard, leaning up and laughing, pulling the beautiful woman next to her, Biluo's sleeves shook more than once, the woman's hair was lightly pulled, and she naturally pulled a bun, inserted a green jade hairpin, decorated with light gold beaded flowers, wearing a green floral brocade jacket, her plump body was undulating, she smiled skillfully, and her eyes were looking forward to it, and she was a little similar to Youli.

Xu Ruyu was stunned for a while, his hand was still in the air, in a strange pose, and he forgot to be annoyed or ashamed. The people on the boat became more and more convinced that he was a fool, and they did not laugh as fiercely as they had just been.

The flower boat stretched out the gangplank and put it on the bank, the woman in blue clothes walked out first, stepped on the sand and mud on the riverbank, couldn't help stretching her body, and her lazy demeanor was full of expression, she saw Xu Ru looking at her stupidly, and thought: Nerds also know beauty, so they smiled and beckoned to him and said, "Fool, come here." ”

Xu Ruyu saw that she called herself a fool, she was annoyed, turned around and ignored her, and thought about it: If you are a fool to me, I will be stupid to show you. Jumping from the mouth of the stream to the stunning woman: "Sister, you call me?" ”

The woman in blue frowned and scolded: "Who made you call it that?" ”

Xu Ruyu turned around, looked around, and exclaimed, "Hey, who asked me to call it?" ”

Seeing that he was so stupid, the woman in blue clothes stopped teasing him, and couldn't ask Mingtang when she wanted to ask, Gu Shou looked at a young man with a long figure and a handsome face behind him, and said lightly: "Young Master Yi, do you know what the name of this stream is?" The voice is tactful and pleasant, and it seems to be soft and feminine.

Xu Ruyu looked at the man, only to feel that he was twenty years old, with a magnificent figure, a plump and heroic appearance, and his eyes were shining, and he had a domineering momentum, and saw that the woman in blue had an intimate attitude towards him, and his heart was a little strange, and he snorted secretly: The masters are like this, as if they are afraid that others will not know. Seeing that his eyebrows were a little easy to seal the dust, he remembered that Yi Huaxilai, the youngest son of the Jiangjin Yi family, who had heard about it in the teahouse, and he didn't know if the person in front of him was him.

Never seeing anything like the woman in the blue clothes anymore, and instead of looking at her, Kazui lay on the soft sand and mud, staring blankly at the sky, thinking that if they left, they would cross the mouth of the stream and go west.

Yi Huaxi followed behind the woman in blue clothes and said softly: "Water girl, just call me Huaxi, although this stream is small, its fame is not small, it is called Lishui locally, and Li Zhongyuan, the author of the old dynasty who commented on "Shanshui Wen", was hidden here in his later years, so he got his name. Xu Ruyu listened to it and thought: Sure enough, it's him, he was known for his reputation in Jiangjin when he was a child, so it seems that it is true, at this time he knows who the woman in blue clothes is, she is the same as Jiang Youli, she is a famous female artist who travels all over the world.

I was a little curious, and I wanted to look at her, but I was afraid that I would despise her, and I thought: Now that I am a fool, how can I still be afraid of being despised by others, I turned over and lay on the sand and mud, pretending to be stupid, and looked around.

At this time, the beautiful maid and the three middle-aged people who looked like musicians went ashore one after another, and the three boatmen sat on the side of the boat, basking in the warm winter sun, looking very leisurely. Xu Ruyu thought to himself: Most of these flower boats will go to Jiangjin, if you can take a boat to Jiangjin, every time you lie on the bow of the boat, basking in the sun, but it is also very freehand.

The beautiful maid looked around at Xu Ruyu, and she didn't avoid the eyes of others, and scolded: "Why are you stupid lying here casually, dirty and smelly, stay away." ”

Xu Ruyu smiled at her, got up, leaned in front of her, and grinned his teeth, trying to scare her. When the beautiful maid saw him coming over with his teeth, she was disgusted in her heart, and she slapped it away, and when she was in her body, Dan Xi spit out. Xu Ruyu saw that she was so heavy-handed, completely indifferent to human life, she couldn't help but be indignant in her heart, and suddenly thought that she was pretending to be crazy and stupid, and hurriedly collected the Dan Xi in the hundred bones into Xiao Zhoutian, and let her body be directly hit by her, and slammed into the side of the boat with a "bang", and then fell into the water again, causing a splash.

Xu Ruyu struggled in the water, sometimes sinking into the water, sometimes struggling out of the water, and did not forget to peek at everyone's reactions. Seeing that Yi Huaxi and everyone on the shore were struggling in the water with great interest, he thought: It is really as he thought. And I thought: Since you love to watch, let you watch it happily, with hatred and hatred in your heart, with masochistic pleasure, you flutter in the water with all your might, and your mouth is babbling endlessly.

Xu Ruyu is proficient in the surname of water, pretending to be drowning is the same as the real one, and he is not afraid that others will see the flaws, and he feels that it is almost the same, so he condenses and lets his body sink slowly, ready to lie at the bottom of the water. At this time, among the three boatmen sitting lazily on the side of the boat, one person jumped down, plunged into the icy river in waves, dived to Xu Ruyu's side, held him under his armpits, tread water with both feet, and leaned towards the shore.

dragged Xu Ruyu ashore, pressed his hands together on his chest, and pressed them together to rescue him. The other two boatmen also came from the plank, made amends to Yi Huaxi and others, and turned around to complain about him. The shipwright who rescued people frowned, and he was not afraid of Yi Huaxi hearing it, and said: "Although he is a fool, he is a life." Xu Ruyu listened and secretly admired his style. was afraid that if he didn't wake up at this time, he would use his mouth to save himself, so he forced out the water in his abdomen and pretended to wake up leisurely.

Seeing him refute himself like this, the two shipwrights were dumbfounded for a while, and they were afraid of angering Yi Huaxi and the others, and they didn't know what to do for a while. But Shui Ruying was slightly apologetic, and when she saw that there was no death, she didn't ask anything, only Yi Huaxi frowned, and a cold light flashed in her eyes, wanting to say something.

Xu Ruyu jumped up and shouted: "It's so cold." "Jumping around in the sand. The boatman took off his jacket to reveal the cotton wool and handed it to him. Xu Ruyu took it, wrapped it around his body indiscriminately, and said in his mouth: "It's so cold." The boatman chuckled, showed a mouthful of white teeth, and said to him, "You must take off your wet clothes." So saying, I went to help him.

The beautiful maid knocked him down with a palm and scolded: "You're not afraid of staining Miss's eyes? ”

Xu Ruyu didn't stop undressing, and instantly rolled up the wet clothes in his hands, and came out of his upper body naked, seeing the beautiful maid raise her palm to slash at herself, Shunyi threw the wet clothes over, and the beautiful maid didn't notice it for a while, and one palm hit the wet clothes, hitting countless splashes, and scattering everyone's faces. The beautiful maid was the most embarrassed, her face was full of cold river water, her pink face was blue with anger, and an arrow was forced to Xu Ruyu's side.

Xu Ruyu fell in panic and kicked her with both feet. Although the beautiful maid has been practicing martial arts for a long time, but has little actual combat experience, seeing him kicking with both feet, no lazy look, but one of the three or four feet is in his own empty space, just to block his offensive, when he happens to be so, but there is no way to think, his heart is ashamed and anxious. When others saw her, she didn't want to touch the fool.

Yi Huaxi had some doubts in his heart at this time, and after going around to Xu Ruyu's side, he slashed at the back of his neck with a palm. Xu Ruyu's body rose up, rolled out of thin air, and rushed straight towards the beautiful maid. Xu Ruyu hugged her with both hands and threw all the momentum on her, but Yi Huaxi's Dan Li in his palm was all under it, and he forced out a mouthful of blood and sprayed it on the beautiful maid's flower-like face.

The beautiful maid was hugged by the half-naked Xu Ruyu, rushed to the ground, and was sprayed on her face by him with a mouthful of dirty blood, since she was born, how could she have been so wronged, tears gushed out and hung on her face like a rain pear flower, Xu Ruyu felt very disgusted, and when she struggled a little, she let go and rolled aside, closed her breath and pretended to pass out. I thought: If she comes to beat me again, I will kill her with one palm, and then break through and escape, and now he has a starry sky and a great increase in confidence.

The beautiful maid didn't wipe the tears on her face, gritted her teeth and forced Xu Ruyu to kill him. When the boatman saw that the fool was about to lose his life, he hurriedly rolled over, stopped in front of Xu Ruyu, and said, "Please look at the face of the Donglin Society, and show mercy to the palm." ”

The beautiful maid's face was cold, and she reprimanded: "The brand of the Donglin Club can also be carried by your little boatman." "I want to cut it off.

Shui Ruying saw that the sleeves were talking too much, and felt that the matter had gone a little too far, and just saw that Xu Ruyu was completely unguarded to take over Yi Huaxi's Sancheng Danxi's palm, and there was no doubt in his heart, so he hurriedly stopped: "Sleeves stop." ”

The sleeve was out of reach, and the palm was in the middle of the boatman. The other two boatmen were furious and said angrily: "A boatman in the Donglin Association is also a human life, please take our surnames and lives together, and there will be people from the Donglin Association to find and explain to the sleeves." ”

Shui Ruying knew that the Donglin Society was very short-sighted, even an insignificant boatman had to ask for an understanding, knowing that the sleeves were bad, he hired three boatmen from the Yongning Branch of the Donglin Society, and disappeared inexplicably together, which would offend the Third General Assembly of the world, and he didn't know how to do it for a while.

The downed boatman scrambled to his feet and stood there. Shui Ruying was overjoyed to see it, only when the last palm of the sleeve had already regained a lot of strength, the young boatman was strong and strong, and seemed to have been rough in martial arts for a few days, and he was slapped by the sleeve, of course, he would not cause any death, and he never thought of anything else, Yi Huaxi also looked at Shui Ruying when she slashed, and did not see the reality of her palm, and it was very good to see that there was no need to offend the Donglin Society. Seeing that he had failed to meet Xu Ruyu three times, his confidence had been snatched away, and he saw that he didn't kill an ordinary boatman with all his strength, but he only thought that he was really not good at learning and lacking strength. Only the young boatman was the most puzzled in his heart, he was hit by a palm in his sleeve, fell on Xu Ruyu's body, his breath was all closed for a while, the huge force was chaotic in his body, his blood was surging, and his heart was so uncomfortable that he wanted to die. Just when he was unconscious, the strange ice release of Juli disintegrated, and his mind suddenly recovered, I don't know why, but his surname is straight, and he didn't expect Xu Ruyu to be just pretending to be crazy and stupid here.

The water has been stuffy on the boat for several years, and now the sun is warm, and the clear stream is clear and pleasant at first glance, so it is up to get off the boat and walk around, not wanting to make trouble about these things, and the interest is all lost, so he wants to return to the flower boat and anchor to leave.

The young boatman glanced at Xu Ruyu, who had fainted, and thought: If this fool is left alone in the wilderness, most of them will not be able to live, so he knelt down on one knee in front of the water like a shadow, and said, "I hope Miss will have mercy on him and let him stay on the boat." ”

Shui Ruying saw the determined look in his eyes, and secretly thought: Although he is a small boatman, his ambition cannot be taken away, and he feels that he has done something too much, and he has a little remorse in his heart, and said impatiently: "Okay, just leave him on the deck." ”

Everyone on the boat thought that Xu Ru would die if he didn't say anything, so they threw his body into the river and let him curl up on the bow deck, except for the boatman, and no one else took care of him. I don't want him to be stupid, but after three or four days, he has eased up, and he is lazy and lazy on the deck, eating and sleeping well, but he is not afraid of the cold, wind and frost.

Along the way, Yi Huaxi and the water are not in a hurry to hurry, said to sail at night, if you meet the grass in Qingchuan, often dock to find the secluded and explore the secrets, although it is only five or six hundred miles away from Jiangjin, it has not arrived for more than ten days. Xu Ruyu was so happy that he lay on the deck all day, looking at the trip to the moon and the splendid stars, only to feel the cold wind, the surging water waves, hitting the bottom of the boat, the sound of the water was slight, as if returning to the scene of the young Li flower boat, so that Xu Ruyu was fascinated, and he did not feel that the boat was slow. In my heart, I silently filtered the moves and mental methods I had learned in the past one by one from my heart. When he followed Wu Chu, he was still young, and most of the martial arts described by Wu Chu were very eloquent, even if he was brilliant, he often couldn't pay attention to one or two sentences out of ten, and Wu Chu didn't expect him to be able to understand clearly, and when he saw that he was puzzled, he asked him to memorize it to death. In the past six months, he has learned Buyun Light Body Technique, followed the eldest uncle to learn boxing in Wanling, and practiced Biluoge and Amazing Spear by himself, but because of the tedious war, he never had time to clean up what he had learned.

Xinfeng City under the mind into the realm of the five senses to return to the heart, and in the side of the wild plum unintentionally used the "starry sky fragrance" sword move, a month to repeat the sword move at that time, has been thinking hard about the sword intent, until the mouth of the Qingjiang River, suddenly enlightened, from the body of the water swimming fish to realize the "royal potential for the empty" of the road, to make the real "starry sky fragrance" to, at this time his martial arts purpose rose to a new realm. Every time I go to see the light clouds and flow volumes, scattered without a trace, the breeze sweeps around, the face touches the skin and is cold, Shen is magnificent, the little stars are gorgeous, everything follows the way, every time the spiritual sense emerges, and the martial arts moves that I think I have mastered are all in doubt. Xu Ruyu was happy in his heart, knowing that this was because of his realm improvement and the opening of his eyes, and these many doubts had always existed there, but his cultivation was insufficient in the past and he couldn't realize it.

In the past, many things that Wu Chu asked him to memorize have forgotten a lot over the years, but at this time, they suddenly revived and reappeared in his mind, if Xu Ruyu had doubts, he did not deliberately recall what Wu Chu said, thinking: Those things that are buried in the depths of Knowledge can only be touched by his own inspiration, and memories cannot be done lightly, even if he forcibly recalls, he still cannot truly comprehend the meaning. Although he felt that his enlightenment was very slow, he had gained a lot, and he felt that lying in the open air was very much in line with his heart, and even if someone let people sleep in the cabin now, he had made up his mind not to go here, and a fool had his own stupid way.

Looking at the head, the light was soft, and there was no more dazzling feeling, and his heart moved, and then the footsteps started, and he knew that the boatman who was maintaining him was coming. Xu Ruyu didn't judge it from the voice, but the more subtle feeling directly grasped his existence very vaguely.

The boatman was about twenty years old, his face was purple and red by the river wind, his smile was honest and honest, his eyes were bright, he looked at Xu Ruyu with kindness, and said softly: "My mother often says that I am cheap, I say, your life is cheaper than mine." ”

Xu Ruyu grinned at him, seeing that his eye sockets were slightly deep, and his nose was drooping, as if he was from Miao Yinan. Thinking that he said that he wanted to defend himself regardless of offending the anger of the public, and he still had to deceive him, he was always not happy in his heart, and he was afraid to tell him the truth, he was not good at falsifying to Yi Huaxi and others to see the flaws, and he would not be able to take the boat so freely, and he hesitated for a while. At this time, my heart moved, and I knew that the beautiful maid sleeves were coming.

Thinking back to the situation, I felt that there was something suspicious, but I couldn't say that something was wrong, and I didn't mention it to Shui Ruying, and often sneaked to Xu Ruyu's side quietly, and I didn't know that Xu Ruyu could find out in advance, seeing that Xu Ruyu was still the same as before, staring at the dazzling sun, and I didn't know that my eyes were dizzy, and the saliva overflowed from the corners of my mouth and flowed to the neckline, and the boatman didn't forget to wipe the saliva on his cheeks with his hands, thinking of the situation when he was knocked down, he was disgusted and angry.

"Liang Bao, you get out of the way for me." As he spoke, he pushed the boatman aside, crossed his waist and looked down at Xu Ruyu, only to see his deep pupils looking at the empty space behind him, stunned for a while, and secretly said How could this fool have such good eyes, a layer of light red fog seemed to cover up from his neck, and he forgot what he was going to do for a while, got up and snorted coldly at the boatman's pretty face, and turned to leave.

Liang Bao looked at her delicate and shy face, her apricot eyes were full of anger, and the figure that turned away was Miaoman, and she was stunned for a while, standing there in a daze, letting a gust of cold wind blow.

Xu Ruyu said secretly: Your surname is so upright, how can you fall in love with such a vicious woman? Although Xu Ruyu said that he had a deep affection for Youli, he still didn't understand the love for men and women, and there was no reason for men and women to have feelings, not to mention that when Liang Bao saw his sleeves, he didn't know what her heart and surname were.

Liang Bao sighed, walked to the front of the deck, stretched his hands and feet for a while, and then started punching. Xu Ruyu has been peeking at him boxing for more than ten years, and at the beginning I saw that he was extremely skilled in boxing, and his moves were extremely ordinary, and there was no power to speak of when he came out. That said that Xu Ruyu said that although Xu Ruyu said that the Dan Xi invaded his body, it was only reasonable that his hundred bones and scriptures should be slightly damaged, even if he was physically strong, ordinary people could not stop the invasion of the Dan Xi on the meridians, but he stood there as if he was nothing, which made Xu Ruyu surprised, but he had no time to explore the situation of his meridians, and he didn't know what was going on. Now seeing that he is punching vigorously, but there is no trace of Dan breath overflowing, I wonder if he will completely contain his internal breath like himself. After pondering for a few days, he didn't feel like it, and he intuitively felt that when he performed this set of punches, the Dan Xi would converge on its own, and even if the boatman cultivated the Dan Xi, it was extremely weak, but according to the situation when he was struck by the sleeve, this Dan Xi was extremely pure.

In the first two days, Liang Bao changed the normal practice of boxing in the morning and dusk, got up in the middle of the night and said some stupid things to Xu Ruyu as if talking to himself, and started boxing under the starry sky, perhaps with tenderness in his heart, the boxing is not as strong as Pingshu, stretching and soft, and wanting to gradually dissolve into the starry sky. Xu Ruyu saw that although his moves were not powerful at all, and there was a sense of clumsiness, during which the business was full of business, Xu Ruyu took the risk of closing the five senses, and completely used the knowledge of the "five senses to return to the heart" to check him, and he could vaguely see the trajectory of his fist path under the starry sky.

This kind of clumsy boxing method contained the faint Dan breath in Liang Bao's body, but Xu Ruyu had just entered the realm of the Five Senses and returned to the heart, and he couldn't observe the operation of the Dan breath in his body out of thin air, but it was certain that this kind of boxing was a long-lost breath practice boxing method. When Wu Chu commented on the various Dan Breath techniques to him back then, he also mentioned a kind of Dan Breath Technique that is now lost.

Human society is still in the stage of drinking blood, people find that they often do a kind of action, can get rid of illness and fitness, light and strong, gradually this kind of action is combined with people to practice, forming some simple self-cultivation boxing road, and later from the people who often practice self-cultivation boxing found the existence of Dan Xi, self-cultivation boxing road has also developed into the later practice of breathing boxing, this is a kind of breath training method to guide the breath, heaven and man induction, human body meridians, viscera and hundreds of bones are corresponding to heaven and earth, when the fist style secretly coincides with the heaven and earth, it will naturally trigger the qi machine, guide the Dan breath, Later generations of the family (Danxi) boxing also relied on this principle to bring the power of the move to the extreme.

Later, it was found that the mind can also guide the Dan breath, and the effect of the intention is more obvious than the shape of the breath, and the Dan breath technique of the intention is gradually popular, and the practice of breath boxing has become an auxiliary exercise, but the two can not be practiced at the same time, so the practice of breath boxing is gradually lost and is not heard of in the world.

Wu Chu once said: martial arts follow the way to the extreme, in order to reach the extreme, more than 10,000 years of successive succession of the practice of breath boxing is in line with the reason, the power of the display must be great, should not be lost, just because the way of boxing and Dan breath is not parallel development, Dan breath has just entered the era of the intention of the breath, the study of martial arts is far behind, Dan breath is only as a strong body to increase the existence of the body, not with the martial arts moves together to exert its real power out, so the real mystery of the practice of breath boxing is not aware of it. After the gradual loss of practice breath boxing, martial arts developed to the stage of "methodism", and found the magic of the tricks and the way of harmony, and people of insight re-realized the importance of practice breath boxing, but later generations can only find some remnants of the boxing method, but by virtue of this remnant of the secret book, to develop, and evolve the contemporary peerless mystery martial arts. Martial arts is not inherited and developed, but it is a pity that the practice of Xiquan accumulated by human beings for thousands of years of experience has not been continued, and the research of nearly a thousand years in later generations has not been able to make up for the shortcomings, in a sense, in the past thousand years, there has been no substantial development of martial arts. It's a pity that I can't find the way to practice all the way, and I can't explore the reasons in detail.

Xu Ruyu is almost certain that Liang Bao is a kind of practice boxing, but it has been passed down for dozens of generations, and there is no heir to the top of martial arts to discover the mystery, the boxing road is also affected by the fighting techniques of this world, the pursuit of offensive and defensive efficiency, the moves have been deformed, and the original boxing road in the ancient clumsy rhyme is all destroyed, if it is not for Xu Ruyu to learn the clear heart thaumaturgy of stopping the water heart sutra, to achieve the realm of "five senses return to the heart", although the Dan breath technique is not a great success, but the understanding of the Dan breath technique is passed on by Wu Chu, in order to recognize this peerless relict practice of the breath boxing method. In addition, only the three great masters in the world can discover the mystery from this deformed fist path. It's a pity that the ancient practice of Xiquan has lost its ancient charm, and returning to its original appearance is not much simpler than re-establishing all the way to the Aoyi Fist.

Xu Ruyu said that he analyzed the boxing path of the ancient practice of breathing boxing, except for one of the martial arts to deduce one of the styles because he recently realized that "the power is empty", the rest gained nothing, knowing that his martial arts cultivation is not enough in the end, and it is not only useless to study such a deformed boxing method, but it will seriously affect his cultivation mood, so he let go and return his mind to clarity. "Starry Sky Fragrance" originally only had a trick and no sword style, Xu Ruyu will comprehend this style from the ancient practice of breathing boxing as its first style, the name of "fragrance through willow style".
