Chapter 360: Horse Stepping on Duckweed
Lin Xuan opened his arms and hugged Tian Meng tightly, using his body to warm her.
"I'm afraid, I've seen such a scene before, it was when I was a child, my father practiced a kind of kung fu all year round, which is a kind of ancient light skill that has long been lost, my father called it 'horse stepping duckweed', which is said to come from the famous ...... of the Southern Song Dynasty."
Without waiting for Tian Meng to finish speaking, Lin Xuan had already figured it out.
He can't see the situation in the dense fog clearly, if the stones are really arranged like a pontoon bridge, then they are artificially manipulated, and this kind of kung fu that first uses internal force to suspend the stones in the air, and then uses light power to step on the stones to fly across, is called "horse stepping duckweed", which is ten times more clever than "floating on water, climbing Ping to cross the water" and other ordinary light skills.
It is rumored that this strange technique was the original invention of the famous general Yue Fei of the Southern Song Dynasty, and in the battle against Jin in the north, his beloved general Yang Zaixing was lost in the silt of the Xiaoshang River and was killed by the enemy's arrows, which became his lifelong regret. So, he combined light skills with horsemanship, and finally practiced to the point where he could ride a horse and gallop on duckweed.
The weight of a person and a horse adds up to hundreds of catties, and the carrying limit of duckweed with the size of a copper coin is only the weight of an adult dragonfly, which is a huge difference between the two and is almost an impossible task.
Before Yue Fei died in the Wind Wave Pavilion, he taught this magic to his friends Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu, and then the rivers and lakes understood the trick. What really carries the weight of a man and a horse is not duckweed in the water, but a floating road built by the rider using his own internal force.
This kind of magic is similar to the illusion of "pulling out your hair and crossing the river in the air" in the legend, but unfortunately, future generations are impetuous and suspicious, and they can't practice Yue Fei's realm, so they denounce it as a strange force and nonsense.
In the organization's investigation report, it is clearly recorded that Tian Yunong has several kinds of strange skills, including this kind of "horse stepping duckweed". Moreover, Lin Xuan had seen the video of Tian Yunong performing this kind of strange art, and he was amazed by his amazing skills.
"Your father is in the fog? Is it? Under the sudden change, Lin Xuan still remained calm.
"That's right...... When I saw those floating stones, I thought of watching my father practice when I was a child. The genealogy of our Tian family can be traced back to the relatives of Liang Hongyu's family in Jiankang Mansion at the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. I believe your words now, my father is not dead, just in front......" Tian Meng bit his lip tightly, put his hands on Lin Xuan's chest, and stood up straight suddenly.
She took a deep breath, lowered her right hand, and drew her gun on the ground.
"Don't worry, wait patiently." Lin Xuan immediately reminded.
Tian Meng did not tear off the blindfolded scarf, but slowly bent his knees to form a kneeling position, facing due west, and his left arm was crossed, forming a shooting bracket for his right arm.
"If Tian Yunong is on the other side of the wind tunnel, if he can return by stepping on a pumice stone, then who is chasing him? Could it really be the underworld he said? Can Tian Yunong really recognize the 'cold imaging' channel in the void with the naked eye and come and go freely? He's in the leylines again? How much does he know about the leylines and the axis of the earth......" Lin Xuan held his breath and sank into the dantian, like a stone Buddha, firmly rooted in the ground.
He didn't think that he was more clever than Tian Yunong, he simply calculated his combat power and technical skills, and he admitted that he was inferior to the other party.
Then, he may not be able to stop the pursuers and save Tian Yunong and Tian Meng.
If he was smart enough, his most correct response would be to rush back and join Samantha and the others at the camp to defend against the strong enemy.
The reason why he stayed was because he knew very well that if Tian Yunong did not show up, Tian Meng would not escape alone, and the love between father and daughter was unforgettable.
"Fight—that's it!" That's the decision he made at the last minute.
"Three hundred meters, two hundred and fifty meters, two hundred ......meters," Tian Meng counted in a low voice, "I can see clearly, it's my father, his right arm is seriously injured and drooping, his body is bleeding in more than a dozen places, and his running speed is getting slower and slower...... Oops, I'm not sure if he'll be able to gather the internal strength to support this side of the cliff......"
Lin Xuan lowered his hand, pulled out a rope from his waist, and quickly tied a slipknot.
The inner wall of the wind tunnel has been subjected to strong winds for many years, and there is no place on the surface to fix the ropes.
"Tian Meng, here you go." He put the slipknot in Tian Meng's right hand, "I need you to give me a signal, this rope is about thirty meters long, so we can only shoot within thirty meters, and there is only one chance." Your signals must be extremely precise and leave no room for error. ”
He tied the other end of the rope into a slipknot and put it on his left hand.
If Tian Yunong's internal strength is exhausted and falls, he must fly off the cliff and rescue him in the air.
He had practiced this aerial rescue technique countless times in a helicopter, but today was the first time he had used it.
Of course, even if he catches Tian Yunong smoothly, it depends on whether Tian Meng can pull the weight of two adult men.
"I promise to give you precise signals, one hundred and fifty meters, one hundred and twenty, one hundred and ten, ninety...... Regardless of whether you can succeed this time, and whether your father needs to save him or not, eighty, seventy, sixty...... Lin Xuan, I owe you a favor, and I am willing to make a promise...... Fifty, no, the pumice in front of him is falling, and the pursuers behind him are running too fast, forty, thirty, twenty, oh no, go, go-" Tian Meng roared sharply.
Lin Xuan exerted his strength with both feet, ran forward, and then jumped up, striding in the air, and after flying out of about ten meters, he fell in a parabolic trajectory.
Suddenly, he saw the situation in front of him clearly, Tian Yunong, who was dressed in gray and white tights, rushed towards him, and the straight-line distance between the two approached rapidly, slamming into each other.
Lin Xuan's right arm bent and grabbed Tian Yunong's armpit, and then the two of them fell heavily, slamming heavily on the stone wall.
The stone wall was so hard that Lin Xuan felt that his back was almost shattered, but fortunately, at least after he used his body as a cushion, Tian Yunong's injury would not worsen.
"Hey, hey, can you hold on?" His mouth was close to Tian Yunong's ear and he shouted.
"The Undead Legion...... The Immortal Legion really exists, and the Immortal Legion really exists......" Tian Yunong's eyes widened to the limit, but he had no look, empty and dazed.
"Tian Meng is on it, we have been saved, don't worry." Lin Xuan said.
The shape shì seemed to have been arrested, and the rope on his wrist swayed, slowly pulling upward.
Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and tightened Tian Yunong's hoops.
"I'm willing to make a promise—" He remembered what Tian Meng said, and suddenly his heart was sweet, and an irrepressible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"The undead legion exists zài...... The world of the undead, the ...... of the immortals" Tian Yunong's spirit seemed to have collapsed, his neck stiffened, his eyes glazed, and he was allowed to be carried upward by Lin Xuan.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine." Lin Xuan sued him.
The mist was still wet and heavy, but the solid ice on the stone wall helped a lot, saving Lin Xuan's back from friction, and the two of them were able to rise smoothly. However, Lin Xuan vaguely felt a little uneasy, after all, Tian Meng was the only one left in the wind tunnel, and with her body, she shouldn't be able to drag the two of them up lightly.
"Probably the reinforcements from the camp have arrived." Lin Xuan could only think about the best.
