Chapter 13: The Sword Technique
The right arm traveled through wind and rain for several days, and finally came to Taishan Stream, came to a restaurant in Taishan Stream early in the morning to eat and drink, and after preparing to drink and eat enough, he went up the mountain to fight the tiger like Wu Song. was eating and drinking, and heard a few people at the next table discuss:
"I heard that there are tigers eating a lot of people by the lake near this Taishan stream, which makes everyone panic. ”
"But no, this is a tiger? It's a tiger spirit!"
"Uncle Zhang's family next door went to the lake to fish, but they didn't come back, and when the county government sent someone to investigate, they found a pile of white bones by the lake, and there was no skin left. ”
"Uncle, how big is this tiger?" asked with his right arm leaning over.
"I haven't seen it either, I've heard about it. One of them replied.
"Yes, yes, it's all news from people over there, who is going to see it, it's a long life!"
"Everyone who has seen it has gone to report to Lord Yama!"
"I want to meet this evil tiger, may I ask you, uncle, how did you get past that lake?" said with a glass of wine in his right arm.
"You go straight along this road, and you will reach the junction in front of you over the mountain. A man stretched out his hand and pointed the way.
"Thank you! Xiao Er checks out!" put down the wine money in his right arm and said with a smile. Then he walked towards the Taishan Stream Lake.
Turning over that mountain, a huge lake appeared in front of his right arm, sparkling, sparkling and beautiful.
"It's so fresh air! If Master Zu is here, he will definitely like it here. How can there be tigers eating people in such a beautiful place? It's a pity, it's a pity!" sighed with his right arm.
Strange to say, the right arm waited by the lake all morning, and did not see the shadow of a tiger. The bored right arm had a dog's tail grass in his mouth and walked around the lake. By noon, when the sun was getting stronger and stronger, his tired right arm came to rest under a big tree by the lake, squinting his eyes and thinking, "Where did this tiger come from?"
After a while, his right arm seemed to be awakened by a sound of fighting in his sleep, he raised his hand to rub his sleepy eyes, opened his eyes and looked, frightened, a Taoist priest with a cloak and a flying sword was fighting on the surface of the lake with a blue snake body and a yellow tiger head.
The right arm quickly got up and stood up, and watched the battle carefully on the side, thinking to himself, "This goblin should be the tiger in the eyes of those villagers, this tiger is really ugly! It seems that this tiger has been taken first, let me take a look first."
As he spoke, the goblin flung over with its tail, and the Taoist priest quickly dodged, and the goblin's snake tail slapped heavily on the surface of the lake, causing a huge splash and splashing on the right arm of the lake. When his right arm was patting the water on his body, he found that the Taoist priest flew behind the goblin, folded his hands, and recited the incantation:
There are buds in spring, frogs in summer, and the sword travels the world!
Autumn yellow leaves, winter snowflakes, slash all the magic!
The sword is in the hand, the wine is in the mouth, and the sorrow is relieved!
Establish the world, build the soul, and sing the world!
Life is short, love is long, and it is difficult to remember, blindly solve the millennium!
Why bother to sigh and sigh every day,
And sell wine, sing and dance, slash demons, and pick up demons!
"Third Master!Third Master!I am a disciple of Wudang Mountain's drunken master-right arm!" As soon as the right arm heard this swordsmanship, he immediately realized that this should be the uninhibited and wandering Xiaoyao in the eyes of the ancestor master, he spit out the dog's tail grass in his mouth, and waved and shouted by the lake.
After reciting the mantra of the Xiaoyao Sword Technique, Xiaoyaozi pulled out the stopper of the wine gourd behind him and threw it into the air, and the wine fell from the sky and fell straight into the mouth of the Taoist priest. "Xiaoyao Sword Technique, as urgent as a law!" Suddenly, the sword under Xiaoyaozi's feet flew to his chest, thumping, emitting a burst of golden light, and a sword turned into thousands of swords, these swords formed a Taiji circle, and the sword qi spread out in a circle.
At this time, the goblin twisted the tiger's head and spewed a flame to Xiaoyaozi, the flame was like a fire dragon rushing towards Xiaoyaozi, Xiaoyaozi roared "out of the sword!", thousands of swords flew towards the fire dragon at the same time, instantly crackling in the air, the fire was full of light, the fire dragon was suddenly annihilated, the monster saw the sword qi fierce, forced it over, fell straight into the water, dived to the bottom of the lake, and disappeared.
"Return to the sword!" Xiaoyaozi put away the sword, flew to the lake, looked at his right arm, patted his right arm on the shoulder and smiled: "Are you the right arm?
The right arm smiled and said: "Third uncle, I have come to Taishan Jian to look for you for several days, and there has been no news from you! I didn't expect to meet you here! Master and Master Zu are very good, but everyone misses you, I hope you will return to Wudang as soon as possible." Hehe......"
Xiaoyaozi said with a smile: "Right arm, the third master is carefree by nature, loves freedom, likes this mountain and water, and does not like to be bound by the rules and precepts of Wudang Mountain! Besides, now the sky is dark, and the demon road is rampant, you also saw it just now, that evil Jiao has devoured several fierce tigers and is about to become essence, if I don't get rid of it, I'm afraid there will be endless trouble!"
He knelt down on one knee with his right arm and said: "Third Master, I can't hide it, Wudang is in danger now! I went down the mountain this time to follow the will of my ancestor and find the third master to return to Wudang as the head." Master Zu said that he is old, the master has gone astray, and there may be a bloody storm in Wudang, and his right arm implores the third master to return to Wudang to provoke the beam and take justice!"
Xiaoyaozi scratched his head, hurriedly went to help his right arm and said, "You stinky boy, you get up first!"
"Third Master, if you don't agree to go back to Wudang!
"Then I'll go, you kneel down slowly, be careful that the evil Jiao will swallow you!" Xiaoyaozi put his hands behind his back, walking farther and farther. After walking for a while, when he looked back, his right arm was still standing there, he shook his hand, shook his head, walked back and said, "Okay! I promise you! But wait until I get rid of this evil dragon before I set off back!"
The right arm quickly stood up, patted the dust on his knee, rubbed his knee and said with a smile: "Third Master, I'll help you eliminate this evil Jiao." Just now, I saw the Third Master's set of carefree swordsmanship, and he has the aura of ten thousand swords returning to the sect, so he is so powerful! Teach it to me!"
"You kid, you're still as oily and smooth as when you were a kid, I already knew you wanted to learn. This set of carefree swordsmanship is my own creation on the basis of Wudang Taiji Sword to add the domineering spirit of the sun, moon and mountains and rivers, and I have never taught it to others. However, I saw that you are a disciple of a drunk senior brother, and you have novel bones, and you look naturally arrogant, and you are a good material for martial arts, so I will take you as an apprentice and teach you what I have learned all my life-the Easy Sword Technique!
The right arm followed closely behind him to a thatched hut on the side of the road.
"Right arm, this is the house I rented last month, you and I will stay here, while learning the sword technique, and at the same time helping to evacuate the nearby passers-by, so that they will not be killed by the evil Jiao when they pass by the lake again. Xiaoyaozi pointed to a large wooden sign erected on the side of the road and said, "There is a man-eating evil Jiao on the shore of the lake ahead, take a detour to avoid it!"
"Obey, Third Master!" said with a smile holding the sword in his right arm.
Xiaoyaozi looked at it and said, "Boy, look at it!" while singing the mantra of Xiaoyao's swordsmanship, raising his sword and dancing in the air:
There are buds in spring, frogs in summer, and the sword travels the world!
Autumn yellow leaves, winter snowflakes, slash all the magic!
The sword is in the hand, the wine is in the mouth, and the sorrow is relieved!
Establish the world, build the soul, and sing the world!
Life is short, love is long, and it is difficult to remember, blindly solve the millennium!
Why bother to sigh and sigh every day,
And sell wine, sing and dance, slash demons, and pick up demons!
Bursts of sword qi were like spring thunder and summer rain, shocking thunderbolts, overwhelming the sky, and suddenly the wind was blowing and the leaves were flying. Looking up, Xiaoyaozi jumped a few heels, hung upside down in the air, the sword touched the ground, and the sword qi rebounded, as if stirring up seven layers of snow-like waves, roaring back. It is also like a green dragon coming out of the moon, sweeping through the four fields, and trying to match thousands of troops and horses. Ten thousand swords returned to the sect, and a mighty aura between heaven and earth approached the blue sky, and thousands of sword blades were like galloping and agitated wild horses, swallowing the sun and the moon. The sword qi struck the trees on the side of the road, destroying the branches and breaking the leaves, and the fallen leaves were all over the ground, and the sword qi swept across the water, and the water surface suddenly exploded in rows, and the water column soared into the sky.
"Third Master, it's really amazing! This set of carefree swordsmanship is wild and uninhibited, like a wild horse, and it is magnificent, I will definitely practice it well! Carry forward this set of swordsmanship!" As he spoke, he pulled out the sword on his back and practiced.
At that moment, a woman in red came over, and saw her wearing red clothes and blue shoes, her long hair combed and floating on her back, carrying a burden on her back, and a rolled leather whip stuck in her waist. Without waiting for her right arm to speak, the woman patted her right arm on the shoulder and smiled: "Little Taoist, I heard that there are evil tigers eating people nearby, I heard about it when I passed by, so I wanted to take it by the way!"
"Girl, my name is Right Arm, a Taoist priest from Wudang Mountain. I'd advise you not to go, lest the sheep fall into the tiger's mouth!" said nervously, looking at her with his right arm.
"Hehe, little Taoist, I am the great disciple of Taishan's very Taoist sect - Hongying, who has subdued countless mountain and wild demons, and has made great achievements!
"Haven't heard of it!" said the right arm, shaking his head.
"It's okay, it may not be so famous now, but sooner or later it will be on par with your Wudang!" Hongying touched the leather whip on her waist, calmed down, and calmly pointed to the sky and said.
"Well, I'm looking forward to that day coming sooner rather than later. The right arm smiled, "Red tassel girl, it's hot, do you want to come to the house for a cup of tea." In the lake in front of me is the lair of the evil Jiao, and my third uncle didn't pay attention to letting the monster escape today. ”
"Okay, isn't it said that it is an evil tiger? Why is the storyline reversed so quickly, and the tiger has become an evil dragon? Okay, then you can tell this girl about this evil dragon. Hongying said, and approached the hut with her right arm.
"Third Master, her name is Hongying, she is a disciple of Taishan's very sect, and she also came to kill that evil Jiao this time. While introducing with his right arm, he beckoned Hongying to sit down, and continued to introduce while making tea by the tea stove, "This is my third master of Wudang Mountain-Xiaoyaozi, I just had a fight with the evil Jiao at noon, and the evil Jiao fled to the bottom of the lake." ”
"Dao Chief, please. Dao Chief, how could this evil Jiao be falsely rumored to be a tiger?" Hongying smiled as she motioned for Xiaoyaozi to drink tea.
"Girl, I don't know, this is a dragon that absorbs the essence of heaven and earth, the aura of the sun and the moon, maybe it swallowed the evil tiger in the mountain, and the evil tiger's anger and soul are attached to it, so it gradually became a goblin with a snake body and a tiger head. It's a pity, it's a pity!"
"I see. Now that it has become a goblin, we can't let it continue to plague the world!Dao Chief, let's eradicate it together!" Hongying said excitedly.
"Good. Girl, it's getting late now, and there's no inn nearby, so you eat with me and sleep in the next room at night. Tomorrow morning we'll work together to eradicate this goblin. Xiaoyaozi smiled.
"Okay, okay, I'm going to find some mushrooms and wild vegetables, and make a fire to cook!" said his right arm, happily running to the back kitchen.
He found some wild vegetables and mushrooms in his right arm, caught a few fish in the river, made a pot of rice, lit a fire and grilled a few river fish, and Xiaoyaozi took out the old wine he carried with him from the kitchen. In the evening, the three of them gathered around the fire, grilled fish while eating, and drank the old wine that Xiaoyaozi had just opened.
"Dao Chief, I really envy you for wandering the world and traveling all over the world. It's not like we are very demanding to take orders every month, go to various places to kill demons and get rewards. Life is really boring, boring......" Hongying blushed, raised her wine glass and said drunkly.
"You envy me for being at the end of the world, wandering alone, seemingly chic, and I still yearn for that kind of life where someone has hot food and a hot meal waiting for you to go home. What is there to envy?" Xiaoyaozi said and drank it all, drew his sword and walked outside the house, and danced wildly with the strength of the wine.
The night breeze outside the house and the moonlight of the valley echoed his singing:
There are buds in spring, frogs in summer, and the sword travels the world!
Autumn yellow leaves, winter snowflakes, slash all the magic!
The sword is in the hand, the wine is in the mouth, and the sorrow is relieved!
Establish the world, build the soul, and sing the world!
Life is short, love is long, and it is difficult to remember, blindly solve the millennium!
Why bother to sigh and sigh every day,
And sell wine, sing and dance, slash demons, and pick up demons!
"Right arm, your name is so funny, what's so special about your right arm? Come, let my sister take a look!" Hongying said, and got up, leaned over to her right arm, and wanted to roll up the sleeve of her right arm to see.
"You get up, don't look at it! You drink too much, I'll send you to your room to rest." He put down the grilled fish in his hand with his right arm, ready to help the red tassel to rest.
"Get up, I'm not drunk, I'm going to kill that evil Jiao after drinking this glass!" Talking, drinking, and after a while, he fell asleep on the table.
The right arm sent the red tassel into the ear room, covered the quilt, cleaned up the pots and pans in the living room, and rested.
The next morning, the three of them got up, finished breakfast, and went straight to the lake. The trio went according to plan.
The right arm and the red tassel put on a headscarf, disguised as a pair of old men and old women, and slowly walked around the lake with laughter and laughter, trying to lure the evil Jiao out of the lake. Suddenly, there was a loud "plop" behind him, and when he looked back at his right arm and red tassel, he saw that the evil Jiao had indeed flown out of the big lake, staring at the two of them with his teeth and claws and salivating. "Run!" roared with his right arm, pulling up the red tassel and running away, the evil Jiao spitting flames out of his mouth as he chased after him. Turning over the ridge, the right arm and the red tassel took off the turban, and the right arm drew the sword and stabbed at the evil Jiao, "Hurry as the law! The red tassel quickly pulled out the leather whip from his waist, and a whip passed, really tied the tail of the evil tassel, the evil tassel struggled and roared, and shook the tail fiercely, and the red tassel was thrown into the air in an instant, seeing that the red tassel was about to smash into a big tree, the right arm walked like a fly, soared into the air, hugged the red tassel that was thrown, the red tassel swollen and blushed and hugged his right arm, and the two slowly landed in the air.
As soon as the right arm and the red tassel fell to the ground, the flames of the evil Jiao erupted like fire dragons, and a raging fire ignited on the ground. The evil dragon shook its long tail, and while opening its teeth and claws to grab its right arm and red tassel, it spewed flames from its mouth. Jumping up and down with the red tassel in his right arm, flashing left and right, running out of breath for a while, stopping to rest.
"Let me go!" she snapped and shouted to her right arm.
"Sorry, I forgot. The right arm quickly put down the red tassel, and the two ran away separately.
Hongying hurriedly picked up the leather whip that fell to the ground, and whipped it violently, a whip tied one of the claws of the evil Jiao, she pulled the rope tightly, and said with a smile: "Little Taoist, how about my sister make you a spicy snake soup tonight!"
"Okay! I haven't eaten snake meat for a long time! I am as anxious as the law! "Out of the sword!" Suddenly, the evil Jiao spat out flames, burning the red tasseled leather whip, and the fire burned along the leather whip towards the red tassel.
The red tassel grabbed the leather whip and ran up, stepped on the shoulder of her right arm and jumped up, the red tassel flying in the air jumped to the sky above the head of the evil jiao, she put down the leather whip in her hand, and quickly pulled out a thin willow leaf sword from her waist, and the willow leaf sword cut through the sky like a meteor. At the moment when the red tassel fell, a perfect arc flashed from the chest of the evil jiao, and the red tassel cut off the claws of the evil jiao with a sword, and the evil jiao instantly bled like an infusion, jumping up and down in pain. The red tassel landed lightly, drew her sword and turned around, and at that moment she was simply handsome in the eyes of her right arm.
"Red tassel, handsome!" looked at the red tassel with his right arm and put on a powerful pose. Hongying smiled shyly.
The painful Evil Jiao tumbled over the air and wanted to run towards the lake, but when it was about to cross the ridge, it was firmly grasped by the cobwebs that Xiaoyaozi had already arranged, and the evil Jiao struggled in the cobwebs for a while, and when it saw that there was no way out, it spat flames and tried to burn the cobwebs, and it fell into a sea of fire.
"Third Master, you can eat roast snake sticks today!" said with a smile as he drew his sword in his right arm and pointed at the burning evil Jiao.
"Easy Sword Technique! Urgent as a law!" Xiao Yaozi shouted, and the flying sword instantly formed a Taiji circle in front of the evil Jiao, and the ten thousand swords slammed, and the sword aura was cold. "Out of the sword!", in an instant, ten thousand swords fired together, slashing horizontally and vertically around the evil Jiao in the sea of fire, and pieces of burning snake bodies and tiger heads fell down in time and space.
"Return to the sword!" Xiaoyaozi withdrew the flying sword, fell to the ground and smiled, "I finally solved this beast today!"
Hongying put away the leather whip and hugged his fists and said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Wudang's swordsmanship is exquisite, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary!
With his right arm, he inserted a few branches into the body of a few snakes, handed them to Xiaoyaozi and Hongying, and said with a smile: "Freshly baked roasted snake sticks!
"Stinky boy, it's a roasted tiger whip!" Xiaoyaozi patted his right arm and smiled. Everyone laughed happily together, and the happy and hearty laughter was like the warm sunshine in the mountains, wishing this land peace and tranquility in the future.
"Commander Xiaoyaodao, right arm, since the evil Jiao has been removed, I am going to find the flamingo, this is my main task this time. I'm leaving, we'll meet later!" Hongying smiled with a fist clenched.
"Flamingo, the girl is talking about the flamingo, the sacred bird of Taishan Mansion. Xiaoyaozi's face suddenly became serious.
"Exactly. I went down the mountain this time to catch the flamingo on the instructions of the master. Hongying replied.
"Legend has it that this flamingo has the soul of the sun in its body, and its head is shining with ten thousand golden lights, and its divine power is extraordinary. Master Zu also asked me to look for it back then, it is directly related to the people of the world and the people of Li. If it falls into the hands of evil forces, there will be a catastrophe between heaven and earth. Xiaoyaozi said slowly.
"Since the Dao Leader is also looking for this flamingo, let's go on the road together!" Hongying smiled, thinking that with the help of these two people, he would definitely capture the flamingo this time, as long as he caught the flamingo, even if they wanted the flamingo in Wudang, I would use a little trick, and the flamingo would eventually fall into my hands.
"Okay, okay, let's go on the road together, everyone will take care of each other!" said his right arm on one side.
"Alright then, let's go to Tarzan together to find this flamingo. Xiaoyaozi smiled.
Subsequently, Xiaoyaozi and his right arm returned to the thatched hut, packed their luggage, and together with Hongying, the three of them set out on the road to find the flamingo.
