Chapter 181: Spirit Horse Dragonfly
"My spirit horse is called Diaoyan! It's the head of my herd of spirit horses, and it's jade-colored. And this Yan character happens to have both the meaning of king and jade. Ouyang Xueye said with her hand caressing the carved horse's mane.
Xia Qiu followed his example and put the horse flute to his mouth and blew it gently, and sure enough, her horse flute also made a six-tone sound different from his. The green spirit horse called a dragonfly in Ouyang Xueye's mouth was full of hooves, and its long mane flew in front of her, looking extremely majestic.
The dragonfly lowered its head and wore a rough fit from its nostrils, but Xia Qiu was not afraid and put her hand on its horsehair like Ouyang Xueye and stroked it, and when it gradually got used to her smell and petting, a black leather saddle actually grew out of thin air on its back.
"What is this?" Xia Qiu asked suspiciously.
"Lingma comes from the lake, who is amphibious. No one knows exactly how they reproduce, but they come to the island on their own shortly after birth. Since then, they have had their own saddles, but they are usually invisible and will only be visible when they encounter the saddle of their trusted rider! Get on the horse and let me see how your riding skills are trained in the Demon Realm! After Ouyang Xueye finished speaking, she flew on her horse, and then looked back at her.
Xia Qiu skillfully grabbed the horse's reins and mane with his left hand, stepped on the stirrup with his left foot, jumped up and turned onto the horse's back, the whole process was smooth, and the posture was also very beautiful. But Ouyang Xueye didn't seem to be satisfied, but shook his head and said: "Although the posture is standard, it takes too long, you have obviously regained the ability to fly and mastered the basic flying skills, why do you have to work so hard to get on the horse in the most primitive way?!" ”
"Hmm!" Xia Qiu responded.
From his tone, she could hear the stern taste, at this point he was very much like Ouyang Hongye, no wonder the two of them were a pair of good brothers. A person who usually looks so casual, but when he teaches people, he is unforgiving. And when he's training his flying skills, she's already learned that he's walking exactly as he had planned, and that he won't slow down just because you're a beginner.
"The Infinite Heavenly Realm is connected to the Soul Separation Realm where you have stayed before, and the feeling of driving a horse is the same, let me ask you, what should your body be like when riding fast?" Ouyang Xueye suddenly threw a question.
"The body should lean forward and lie on the horse's back, so that it is easier to grasp the balance." Xia Qiu replied to him in the affirmative.
"Forget the tricks you've learned! Or is it the same sentence, what can a person who knows how to fly, even if he falls off a horse?! You'll learn to be able to move freely on horseback at breakneck speed, whether you're shooting with a knife or a bow. Ouyang Xueye's tone didn't sound like a joke at all.
"Okay!" Xia Qiu nodded in response. She knew that it was pointless to show her suspicions or refute Ouyang Xueye's words, because what he had already decided would never be questioned.
Ouyang Xueye thought that this little girl would complain about him, but she didn't expect her to be unexpectedly calm. But it's no wonder that, although she has only heard a rough story, what she has experienced in the year she has been a blood pact signatory is far beyond what a human can bear. And in her, he saw the same quality as his wife Ran Susu, that is, adaptability, whether it is to the environment or fate, the kind of resilience in them is even beyond his reach.
"Then you go first! From here to Ziyunju, remember, straighten your body! Ouyang Xueye ordered, he needed to follow behind and observe her riding posture.
"Good!" Xia Qiu responded.
Then she only "drove" on the ground, and the spirit horse dragonfly rushed out. The dragonfly's speed was as fast as lightning, and at first she always reflexively wanted to lower her body, but she would always force herself to raise her head because she remembered Ouyang Xueye's request, and it was repeated over and over again.
"Focus your eyes on the Purple Cloud Residence!" Ouyang Xue Ye shouted behind her.
She tried to do what he said, and although she was still a little timid, she soon found that it was indeed the most effective way, and the position of Ziyunju in mid-air made her straighten up unconsciously, and she would not subconsciously fall on the back of the horse again. Although her body almost fell off the horse due to violent shaking countless times, it was saved countless times.
Finally came to Ziyunju, she tightened the reins of her horse and called the dragonfly to stop. I thought that I could get a few words of praise from Ouyang Xueye for my performance just now, but I didn't expect him to stop Diaoyan in front of her, but he said coldly: "The understanding is too bad!" And you haven't figured out the relationship between you and the mount, how can you use its full speed when you put all your power on it?! And if the distance is longer, I'm afraid your body will be bumped and unbearable! ”
Xia Qiu understood that she hadn't thought of using Ziyunju as a reference to control her body in advance, but she didn't quite understand the relationship between her and the mount that Ouyang Xueye said later, so she asked, "Can you talk more about it in more detail?" Straightening up the body itself will make the body bump even more! ”
"That's because you're putting all your weight on the horse, relying on it to support you. The center of gravity of your body should still be in your hands, imagine that as you travel, its body is a line of countless support points, and although you have to use these support points, whether you can move forward or not depends on constantly moving your own feet. Ouyang Xueye explained.
Xia Qiu didn't seem to understand it, and roughly understood that dragonflies could not be regarded as all the focus of attention, because in this way, riding a horse would be more laborious than flying. Thinking about flying again, she suddenly had a little enlightenment, since she can fly by herself, then use her own strength to connect the support points composed of dragonflies, maybe Ouyang Xueye said this is what she meant.
"Continue to go back and forth the same way, when I say qualified, when can I stop!" Ouyang Xue Ye commanded.
He also felt that he might be too harsh, after all, she had just arrived in this unknown world, and her future was uncertain, and her heart must be full of all kinds of fears. But he knew even better than she that the time left for them was running out, and it was unrealistic to think that he would be able to master the ability to break through the Infinite Heavenly Realm Waterfall barrier within forty-nine days, let alone forty-nine days, even if it was forty-nine months, or even forty-nine years, it was unknown whether he could do this.
And losing all her strength means that everything has to start from scratch, and even if she can get out, the enemies she faces will not be easily defeated, and there must be more powerful commanders hidden behind those white cloaks. Thinking of all this, he had to be ruthless. Because he clearly felt that his son Ouyang Xiaoleng also needed her by his side, sending her back to the original world might be the only thing he could do for his son in this immeasurable heavenly realm.
While he was still thinking, Xia Qiu had already rushed out, and he was also following closely. This time, her body was noticeably more relaxed than the last time, and although she still hesitated a few times to lower it, she had already corrected herself before he could remind her, and he seemed to sense that she had somewhat understood what she had just said that the center of gravity should be in her own hands.
Although riding a horse like this is much less effort than just now, Xia Qiu is still tired and hungry after a few rounds, in this world, her body seems to be more prone to hunger than usual, but she doesn't know how to open her mouth to Ouyang Xueye. And he was obviously so focused on teaching her that he ignored that her body had already reached its limit.
On the way back to Ziyunju that I can't remember how many times, she finally fell headlong because of her physical exhaustion, Ouyang Xue hurriedly flew up from the horse, hugged her at once, and took her unconscious back to her carving back. He reached out and found that she was hot all over, this is not a good phenomenon in the Infinite Heaven Realm, here only when the spiritual power is used to the limit will the symptoms of body fever appear, he then reacted that he may be too anxious, and this stupid girl is obviously unable to bear it, but she is still persevering, and he can't help but feel distressed.
After returning to Ziyun Residence, he ordered the elk fairy to put a large pool of hot water soaked in the flowers on the bauhinia elk's antlers, and then threw her and her clothes into the bath. The scent of redbuds and the spiritual power they brought continued to enter her body, and she regained consciousness in a few moments. In addition to the physical pain, the pain in her hands was particularly noticeable, and she took them out of the water to see that they were covered with red blood and blisters, all of which had been sharpened from the horse's reins.
But the miraculous thing is that after soaking her hands in the hot water for a while, the blisters and red marks gradually disappeared, and the tiredness of her body was relieved a lot, which was obviously the effect of the flowers used for soaking in water. She simply sank her face into the pool and spat out bubble after bubble to stop her urge to cry. She felt that she was really stupid, and she didn't know if she would be able to meet the forty-nine day deadline if she continued like this.
Although the dinner prepared by Elk Fairy was sumptuous, she was a little appetizing and absent-minded during her meal. Ouyang Xue Ye frowned and said, "Tomorrow's training will be even harder, if you feel that you can't bear it, you can give up now." ”
"I can do it!" Xia Qiu retorted, and then began to gobble up the meal.
Tears silently slipped down the corners of her eyes, she thought that she would not be seen by Ouyang Xueye if she lowered her head, but in fact, he had already found out. His heart was also stung by the tears, but he was powerless, he could protect her in the Infinite Heavenly Realm, but if he could really get out of here, she would have to rely on herself, so he had to make her strong.
After dinner, Xia Qiu flew to the grass below Ziyun Residence, and her horse flute had been strung with a beautiful rope with the help of Elk Fairy so that she could hang it around her neck. As soon as she played the horse's flute, the dragonfly came from the herd, and it must have been exhausted from the day's training, but it was clearly familiar with her, rubbing its face against her like a puppy.
At this time, Xiao Libai flew back from somewhere, and landed on her shoulder, she felt that this little guy was a lot heavier, and she didn't know how much it had stolen and eaten.
Under the seven-colored moon, she silently made a wish in her heart, praying that the next training would go more smoothly. In the circle formed by seven moons, Ouyang Xiaoleng's face faintly appeared, and the deep night sky was just like his eyes.
