Chapter 9 Dangdangdang
Standing on the stage, Zhou Qing looked at Lu Ning, who was a little calm in front of him, and his heart really didn't see through this person, it seemed that this person was silent in the past, and he never came out among the few people in Duan Tianya, except that he was lazy when he talked a lot, and he didn't expect to show such strength now.
"Senior Brother Lu is really a big surprise." Zhou Qing said with a smile.
"Really?" There was not a trace of waves on Lu Ning's face.
"I thought that Brother Duan's martial arts were amazing enough, but I didn't expect Senior Brother Lu to have such good kung fu and actually enter the finals."
Although Zhou Qing's words were a little belittling of Lu Ning, they were also the truth, no matter who was familiar with Lu Ning, even Duan Tianya and the others probably thought so in their hearts, Lu Ning smiled bitterly, and said in his heart If it weren't for you, why would I come to participate in this big competition. Of course, I just said it in my heart, but I didn't say it. Lu Ning glanced at Xiao Hongyi in the distance, and saw that she was standing in the crowd and looking at the stage, she was still smiling at herself, so she looked at the person in front of her.
Lu Ning felt a burst of sadness in her heart, it turned out that Zhou Qing was so important in her eyes, and she was just her friend, hehe, a wry smile appeared on her lips, people often say that grief is greater than heart death, but if the heart is still not dead, this kind of sorrow is also irresistible. Lu Ning looked at Zhou Qing: "Senior Brother Zhou, do you know why I am standing opposite you?" β
"Why?" Zhou Qing looked at the other party with a smile, but wondered why Lu Ning was hostile to him.
With a long sigh of relief, his heart steamed again, Lu Ning knew why he was so impetuous in his heart, the reason was that he was standing on the opposite side, as long as he defeated him, he still had a chance.
"You've won, I'll tell you again." Lu Ning slowly pulled out the long knife...
Zhou Qing looked at the other party's eyes, black and shiny eyes, where there was clearly hidden infinite war intent for himself, "Okay, Zhou Qing will accompany the junior brother to have a good game." With that, he drew his sword.
Zhou Qing's sword is still the standard sword originally issued by the Wudang faction, thin and slender, the blade of the sword is covered with more than a dozen gaps, holding a sword flower, the sword blade is pointed obliquely at the ground, Zhou Qing looked at Lu Ning, as if waiting for his attack.
Lu Ning looked at him, watching him stand upright proudly, and the whole person was like a sword, standing in front of him, surging with fierce sword intent.
"It turns out that your swordsmanship has reached the peak realm."
"That's good, so let's use your strongest move."
"That's not necessary," Lu Ning didn't have a trace of expression on his face: "Others say that I have a good understanding, maybe I can enter the peak like you in this ring." β
"We'll see." Zhou Qing felt a little turbulent in his heart, he couldn't see the mind of the person in front of him, did he simply want to defeat himself, or did he want to fight for his position in Wudang?
Zhou Qing stepped up to the sword, stretched out his hand and set the moon with three rings, the sword body turned into a ball of snowflakes, wrapped around Lu Ning's chest, Lu Ning waved his knife to dodge, only to hear a snort, the clothes on his chest had been pulled out of a hole. Zhou Qing stood still and did not attack.
Lu Ning glanced at him, the long knife in his hand protruded, slashing at Zhou Qing like a storm, and when he saw that he was about to touch his body, he only heard a sound, the knife momentum was blocked from the sword, Zhou Qing stood on his own with a horizontal sword, and a gap was split on the sword body.
"Senior Brother Lu's sword technique is really strong." Zhou Qing looked at his long sword with regret, he has used this sword since he started learning swords, and he has defeated many challengers so far, and he is getting stronger and stronger, but this sword is slowly damaged.
Lu Ning slashed a few more times, the knife was ruthless, and it slashed Zhou Qing directly, and Zhou Qing raised his hand to meet the sword without hurry, repelling every move of Lu Ning.
Lu Ning didn't give up, he jumped up quickly, slashed again, and his figure jumped in the air, with thousands of forces only in a knife.
When he screamed, he was blocked by Zhou Qing again,
"Have you ever heard of Dangdang?" Lu Ning suddenly closed his body and looked at Zhou Qing, with a slight smile on his lips.
"What?"
Zhou Qing was a little speechless, remembered the funny line, and smiled on his face.
Lu Ning responded with a smile: "Dangdangdang is γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" After saying that, he slashed at Zhou Qing again. In a blink of an eye, he was blocked by Zhou Qing again.
Zhou Qing's face was helpless, and there was a whisper from the audience, "It seems that Senior Brother Lu is only here, so let's end it as soon as possible." As he spoke, he also attacked Lu Ning.
Zhou Qing first defended himself with swordsmanship every time he was on stage, and waited until the opponent was weak before slowly stepping forward to defeat the other party, but this time he was inexplicably made by Lu Ning, the long sword in his hand stabbed quickly, as fast as a snake, stabbing at Lu Ning, and Lu Ning slashed many times, it seemed that his physical strength was a little consumed, and he didn't dodge, and was scratched by the long sword on his body with a few scars.
"Senior Brother Lu still doesn't admit defeat?" Zhou Qing felt strange in his heart.
"Huh." Lu Ning smiled.
Zhou Qing ran with a sword again, Lu Ning dodged over, turned around and stabbed again, the brush was blocked by Zhou Qing, the sword body flashed sharply, forcing Lu Ning's shoulder, Lu Ning's horizontal knife resisted, a strong force came from the knife, the shock made the hand numb, Zhou Qing forced the long sword again, Lu Ning hurriedly dodged and retreated, Zhou Qing followed, the sword attacked like a dragon, Lu Ning walked on the edge of the ring, dodging every sword of Zhou Qing, Zhou Qing followed closely, and his hand was often pressing step by step.
Lu Ning suddenly turned around and slashed, and from top to bottom there was another flash of light, Zhou Qing's long sword was in a hurry, but Lu Ning shouted loudly: "This is Dangdang Dang!" With a snap, there was a crisp sound in the air, and I saw Zhou Qing's long sword break in response to the sound and fall to the ground, and the audience exclaimed, as if they couldn't believe it.
Zhou Qing immediately stepped back, looked at the broken sword in his hand and muttered, "I see." β
"You've been thinking about breaking my sword move like this?" Zhou Qing asked.
"That's right," Lu Ning stood with his sword raised: "After all, you are Zhou Qing, and no one in Wudang has defeated you in swordsmanship." β
"Haha, it's really amazing, Lu Ning, I really underestimated you."
Lu Ning did not answer.
"But why?" Zhou Qing asked suddenly. "Why do you want to beat me so much? I know you don't care about the empty stuff. β
"I said if I beat you, I'll tell you." Lu Ning snapped and threw down the single knife in his hand, causing an exclamation from the audience.
"Come on. I know, you're not just good at swordsmanship. β
"You want to compete with me?" Zhou Qing was puzzled.
"What, you're afraid?" Lu Ning said leisurely.
"Hahaha, come on."
After that, Zhou Qing attacked Lu Ning with a palm, and the two immediately opened a fist and a palm in the ring, although Lu Ning had never learned boxing seriously, but the internal force was churning in the abdomen, surging, and infusing his arms, blocking the offensive from Zhou Qing.
But Zhou Qing seemed to be a good hand in his palm, a pair of fleshy palms flew up and down, attacking like a flood beast, pressing Lu Ning out of breath. But Lu Ning still held on, trembling slightly between his arms and arms.
I didn't expect Zhou Qing's fists and feet to be so powerful. Duan Tianya said.
"But Lu Ning was even more unexpected." Li Linghui said lightly.
"yes, I don't know how much hard work he has put into secret." Duan Tianya sighed.
Xiao Hongyi was also a little surprised by Lu Ning's performance in his heart, although he knew that he was not Zhou Qing's opponent, but he was also a little worried about his style of play, why is this guy so desperate? It's just a game, so why bother. His personality is not like this, thinking so in his heart, the figure on the stage has become unfamiliar.
Lu Ning's fist skills were gradually messy, and he was hit by Zhou Qing from time to time.
"Senior Brother Lu, do you still have any tricks?" Zhou Qing said lightly.
Lu Ning couldn't stop gasping. Looking at Zhou Qing in front of him, his face still did not change.
It seems that the gap in internal forces cannot be bridged by stratagem.
"It's good that you know, I'd like to try again."
"You..."
"Take me again." Lu Ning raised his fist and approached, but was slapped in the chest by Zhou Qing, and a trace of blood bloomed from his mouth.
"Stop fighting, come down." There was no one in the audience shouting.
"Hey, hey." Lu Ning smiled, wiped the blood from his mouth, and then deceived forward, pushing his hand to slap it, Zhou Qing flashed over, and after avoiding it, he stretched out a palm, hitting Lu Ning's back, snap, Lu Ning staggered a few steps, Zhou Qing followed closely, and another palm attacked, Lu Ning suddenly stepped forward and met Zhou Qing's palm, Zhou Qing remembered what he had broken his sword just now, and immediately flashed back, Lu Ning suddenly showed a smile on his face, only to feel that his whole body was not his own, and rushed towards Zhou Qing in front of him.
In the audience, it seems that this Lu Ning is already in a death match, the crowd looked at Lu Ning who was not afraid of death, Zhou Qing also became angry in his heart, he had never had an enmity with him, why bother fighting with himself with his life like this, thinking that since then, he raised his palm, and slapped Lu Ning who rushed from the opposite side, Lu Ning did not dodge or dodge, let this palm hit his body, and immediately wrapped Zhou Qing's arm, and hit Zhou Qing's chest with his fist. With a bang, both of them took a few steps back, and a trace of blood flowed out of Zhou Qing's mouth, covering his chest with his hands. Lu Ning's body was shaky, and he could stand firmly.
"Hehe, it seems that I really can't compare to Senior Brother Zhou." Lu Ning glanced at the audience, Duan Tianya and several people over there looked at him with concern, but Xiao Hongyi looked at Zhou Qing's back worriedly, glanced at himself, seemed to be a little indifferent, so far away from him, as if he didn't know.
"Then Senior Brother Lu can talk about why he is so hostile to Zhou Qing. cough cough..." Zhou Qing covered his injuries, his tone was still flat, and he felt inexplicable anger in his heart.
Lu Ning looked at the figure in the audience, turned to look at Zhou Qing and said lightly: "Why? Because I like her. β
So that's it! Zhou Qing looked at Lu Ning's pale face, and suddenly remembered Xiao Hongyi's closeness to him, so it was. After perceiving Xiao Hongyi's closeness to him, Zhou Qing also liked this girl's innocence and carefreeness in his heart, he carried the name of Wudang's big disciple on his back, and he had to urge himself hard every day, torturing and abusing himself to be the strongest, and every time he saw her, he could let go of the burden in his heart and talk and laugh with her quietly.
"No wonder." Zhou Qing smiled bitterly.
Lu Ning picked up the knife on the ground with difficulty, walked down slowly, and said to him, "Treat her well." Then he stepped into the crowd.
Lu Ning ignored Duan Tianya and a few people coming over, smiled at them, and walked out of the crowd.
"What's wrong with him?" Xiao Hongyi was going to repair Lu Ning well, but saw him leave the square directly.
"Maybe there's something on your mind." Don't be thoughtful.
Lu Ning walked straight to the peak of the martial arts practice that night, different from that night, the picturesque spring color shining in the sun, the wind was warm, and the mountains and forests seemed to be calm and only himself, Lu Ning threw away the single knife in his hand, lay down on the ground, feeling his heartbeat in the wind and the earth, a mountain forest seemed to be calm and only himself.
"Don't be so stupid next time." Lu Ning told himself in a trance.
When he woke up, it was already close to dusk, and the mountain was dark, and a mountain shadow was obliquely reflected, Lu Ning only felt that his body was about to crack, so he staggered up, picked up the single knife on the ground, and returned to the mountain gate.
When they came to the residence, Duan Tianya and several people had already returned, but they didn't see Xiao Hongyi's figure, and when they saw Lu Ning coming back, they suddenly calmed down.
"What the hell is going on today?" Duan Tianya saw that his injuries were not healed, so he came over to sit down with him and asked.
"Actually, the last time I came back, I worshipped Zhang Wuxia as a teacher." Lu Ning glanced at everyone, saw that they looked like they were really good, and guessed that he had an adventure in himself.
I know that something good must have happened to you kid. Duan Tianya slapped Lu Ning on the chest.
"And then?" Mo Chou asked earnestly, very curious about these details.
Lu Ning told them about the events of the day, and said that Zhang Cuishan told him not to tell others. Everyone was a little envious.
"Then why are you working so hard with Zhou Qing?" Li Lingfu asked dumbly beside him? It aroused doubts in everyone's hearts.
"This..." Lu Ning really couldn't open his mouth in his heart.
At this time, Xiao Hongyi also came back, and when he saw Lu Ning in his eyes, he also had a strange look, it seemed that Zhou Qing had already told him.
Lu Ning was a little embarrassed in his heart, and everyone thought that it was Zhang Cuishan who told him not to tell others, so he didn't ask again.
Several people talked about the situation of the big competition after Lu Ning left, Zhou Qing won the first place without any suspense, and the first 20 or so disciples will choose to worship the master tomorrow according to their own exercises, which Zhang Cuishan also said to Lu Ning, and said that he would not accept other disciples, so those disciples all worship under the other six heroes.
Xiao Hongyi didn't speak, but just went back to his residence, Lu Ning felt a lot of feelings in his heart, only that the two of them could no longer be as happy as before, and secretly sighed in his heart.
"I want to go out and break in." Lu Ning told everyone that this was also a thought that had arisen in his heart from time to time in the past few days, if he left and thought that Xiao Hongyi and the two would not be gone, he would not be so troubled in his heart.
"Why?" Duan Tianya and the others were greatly surprised, and they really felt that Lu Ning had changed a little, no longer as casual as before, and there were many things hidden in their hearts.
"It's nothing, listening to the master talk about the heroic deeds of those heroes in the rivers and lakes, it's really desirable, I'm going to go out to travel, take a walk to a bigger city, what Tielingγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
"Ahem, cough..." Duan Tianya saw that Lu Ning was getting more and more outrageous the more he said, and he didn't pay attention to the degree of chasing the Spring Festival Gala program group, and interrupted with a few dry coughs: "This time, the advanced exercises of the Dabi Houmen Sect will soon be open to the disciples of the family, you leave at this time, what should you do next?" β
"I want to leave tomorrow," Lu Ning said, "I will beg the master to pass on the advanced exercises to me tonight." β
"So fast?" A few people were surprised, but it was not easy to say anything more, after all, Lu Ning had some secrets, he didn't want to say it, and he couldn't force it to others. There was a ripple in my heart. In fact, in the past few months that Lu Ning has been here, the other six people have been playing around all day, and everyone feels that the atmosphere is a lot more active, with him by his side, even San Li, who is lifeless all day long, also has a relaxed feeling, and has always regarded him as his own person in his heart, and when he heard the news of parting today, he realized the reluctance in his heart.
Since it can't be retained, a few people don't have the mentality of being a mother-in-law and a mother-in-law's children, since they have entered this game, they naturally have a trace of pride in their hearts.
After seeing Zhang Cuishan, when he told him what he was going to do, Zhang Cuishan also had some emotion, although the master and apprentice had only been together for a month, in fact, he had already taught Lu Ning as his own child in his heart.
"In martial arts, if your qualifications don't have to worry me too much, it's just that the wind and lakes are surging, and now as a teacher, I can't tell you too much experience, so you can only be more careful when walking by yourself, don't trust others too much, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable."
"I understand."
"I also have a copy of "Pure Yang Gong" here, which was originally to be taught to the disciples at the same time after Dabi, and I will give it to you now, I hope you will walk the rivers and lakes and pass on my martial arts chivalrous spirit, so as to live up to the teacher and teach you." Zhang Cuishan handed over the cheats to Lu Ning.
"Pure Yang Gong" is a mental method created by Zhang Sanfeng according to the exercises of Jiuyang Shengong he learned, but at that time his cultivation was not completed, and this mental method was not as famous as the "Tai Chi Shengong" he created in his later years.
"Master, the disciple will leave tomorrow, I don't know when I will be able to come back, I can't serve the master, Lu Ning is ashamed of the grace of teaching the master!" Lu Ning said in his heart that there must be a fake, Zhang Cuishan is the first master he has entered the rivers and lakes, treat him like a parent, teach him carefully every night, so that he can take a lot of detours in martial arts than his own cultivation and exploration in the same sect, and from time to time he has also added a lot of experience to himself in the martial arts deeds.
"It's okay, anyway, a year later will be your descent from the mountain, and there will be a parting at that time, so don't be a child." Zhang Cuishan is very open-minded, after all, he has experienced a more cruel parting of life and death than this. "When you have a certain reputation in the rivers and lakes, let's take a look at the teacher."
Lu Ning secretly blamed himself for leaving his master so quickly, but he had a deep sense of going in his heart, so he had to say goodbye to Zhang Cuishan and return to his residence.
