Chapter 14: Three Years of Cold

Forest, waterfall, stream, juvenile.

There is no dusk drum and morning bell here, only birds and cicadas, no wind and snow here, only quiet and quiet, no intrigue here, only loneliness. This is the Twilight Forest, a place that seems quiet and peaceful, but it is full of dangers. The paradise of the beasts, the hell of the walkers.

Between the green mountains and lush forests, the waterfall rushes, like the water sleeves of the fairy falling, the young man stands on the rock, let the water impact and stand still. As soon as you raise your hand, the waves are stormy, and you are thousands of miles away.

Of course, this is a picture imagined by Yunfeng, but the reality is......

"Smack!" the water splashed, and the clouds and wind staggered, falling from the rocks and falling into the pool, how embarrassed and embarrassed it was.

Although the posture of falling into the water is not very funny, Yunfeng still comes out of the water in a way that he thinks is heroic, spits out a mouthful ......of water, and then swims towards the rock wall. He couldn't remember how many times he had fallen into the water, all he knew was that he had to take half an hour's walk at the bottom of the waterfall to meet Tsukihime's minimum requirements.

This is not an easy task. On the cliffs, the difference between the river and the fault is tens of meters, and even though the vertical drop of the water is blocked by the raised rocks, which reduces some of the impact, the bottomless pool is enough to prove that it is still strong. And the rock underneath is polished as smooth as jade, making it difficult to gain a foothold. Even though Yun Feng tried his best to finally settle his horse on the rock, it was ruthlessly washed down by the current in less than a moment. After that, try again, over and over again, until you get exhausted.

The back, which has already been patted red, and the skinny legs may be annoying, but for Yun Feng, it is very happy. Because he can finally walk on his own legs without the help of any external force. It was a wish he had dreamed of since he could remember.

All of this was made possible by Tsukihime.

Two years ago, Tsukihime took Yunfeng on a long journey to the Twilight Forest to collect all kinds of strange herbs, and under her treatment, Yunfeng's leg meridians, which were judged by many famous doctors to be irrecontinuable, were miraculously repaired.

After nearly a year of rehabilitation training and overcoming thousands of difficulties, Yunfeng finally got rid of his dependence on a wheelchair and walked down-to-earth. But the difficulties did not diminish because of this, and not only did his cultivation path not go all the way, but in order to meet the harsh requirements of Tsukihime, he worked hard all day and kept training.

Although Yueji is the teacher of Yunfeng, he has not officially held a worship ceremony, and Yunfeng has never received the teacher's instructions, so he does not know the teacher's name and the rules of the sect's patriarch. It's just that after waking up from that injury, I heard my father introduce a sentence of "Que senior".

"Could it be that the teacher is self-taught?" Although Yun Feng had this guess, he felt that it was unlikely. In the Underworld Continent, if a person has not been taught by a sect or received guidance from a master, it is extremely difficult for him to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth.

After all, life is short, in a short life to break through the shackles of the world, to build the avenue, it is difficult to climb to the sky, a wrong direction, may take half a lifetime of time, so the ancestors have worked hard to sum up the experience, is one of the most valuable resources. And this kind of resource is mostly monopolized by various academies or sects, unless you can have a huge family force like the Zishu family to support it, otherwise you basically have no chance with high-level practitioners.

Once, Yun Feng finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Teacher, what kind of school does our sect belong to?

Yueji said indifferently: "Heroes don't ask where they come from, it's like someone else eats a very delicious egg, and they don't ask which hen it laid." ”

Yun Feng pretended to be confused and continued to ask: "Teacher, do you mean that the ancestor is a hen?"

Tsukihime: "No, I mean you can be a good egg. ”

Yunfeng: "......"

The training continued, and Yun Feng was drowning in sweat and Tan water every day, and he no longer had the time and strength to think.

Repeat, over and over again.

"Many walkers blindly expand the sea of qi, but despise the balance of the physical body. After all, the body is the host on which the qi depends. If we compare our practice to a bow and arrow, the qi is the arrow, and the physical body is the bowstring, and only if the bowstring is tough enough can the arrow give the arrow the maximum momentum and make it break through the clouds. At this time, Yun Feng was carrying his side legs, standing on the plum blossom stake, and receiving the cultivation path instilled in him by Yueji.

Carrying the side leg is part of the training program, with both hands moving one leg above the head and the other standing on a stake. Since Yunfeng sits in a wheelchair all year round, his legs are undoubtedly his biggest shortcoming, so Tsukihime has formulated many plans to train his leg strength in a targeted manner. These include a horse step under the waterfall, a leg on a plum stake, and a weight-bearing run.

The blood-colored sun, the sunset returns to the west. The twilight forest began to reveal the most primitive and natural state of existence, in every corner, danger and killing are everywhere, survival of the fittest, and the eternal laws of nature.

In the twilight, Yunfeng lay on the grass, and the fatigue accumulated from a whole day of intensive training was released at this moment. A few stars hung sparsely in the night sky, shining brighter and brighter as the sky sank.

A straight silhouette fell into his sight.

"Come here. Tsukihime didn't stop in Yunfeng's sight, and flashed by.

Yunfeng stood up neatly and followed Tsukihime to an open area. For two years, Yueji didn't teach him a move and a half, nor did she teach him how to sense the five elements element, except for physical training. Yunfeng had a hunch that the teacher might teach him something different from the past tonight, so he couldn't help but have some anticipation and joy in his heart.

"I'll only do it once. Yuehime's words fell, and the brilliance and momentum on her body instantly converged into her body, like a sword hidden in the scabbard, which made people's hearts beat and stared intently, lest once she came out of the sheath, she would die before she saw her shape. Then, Yueji slowly raised her hands, and in Yunfeng's preoccupied eyes, Yuehime moved so slowly, but Yunfeng didn't have time to think, let alone react.

At this moment, Tsukihime danced!

Jumping, whirling, in one go, rapid advance and retreat, crisp start and end, distinct rhythm, or suddenly, or abruptly stopped, moving like thunder and lightning, amazing, stopping like the river and sea, clear light and condensed. One picture after another, one action after another, flashed quickly in the retina of Yunfeng.

"Remember?" Tsukihime's white robe fell, and the powerful aura disappeared in an instant.

In such a short period of time, Tsukihime actually performed a dance perfectly, which included at least a dozen difficult movements, even if Yunfeng had a good memory, I am afraid that he would not be able to remember it. But for some reason, these actions seem to have been hidden in Yun Feng's mind for a long time, and Tsukihime's interpretation suddenly activated it.

"Hmm. Yunfeng replied with confidence.

"Repeat. ”

"Good. Under Tsukihime's puzzled gaze, Yunfeng walked straight to the grass in the distance and said to the air, "Get up." Then he went back to the same place: "I'll only do it once".

"What are you?" Tsukihime didn't know what the meaning of Bai Yunfeng's unrelated actions were.

"Didn't the teacher tell me to repeat it?" replied Yun Feng as a matter of course, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. For Yunfeng's funny that he won't die if he doesn't die, Tsukihime didn't get angry, but just watched him continue to perform with a blank face.

I have to say that Yun Feng's imitation of Tsukihime in front of him really has a taste or two, but when it really comes to the time when he needs to repeat Tsukihime's movements with real knives and guns, Yunfeng is like a baby toddler, crooked, using all his strength, and only barely completing a few movements, and the pain is so twisted and hideous, there is no Tsukihime's previous strength and beauty at all. If it weren't for a year's physical forging, even if he broke his hands and feet, I am afraid he would not be able to complete half of the movement.

There is no doubt that Tsukihime performed a beautiful dance, and Yunfeng performed how to make this dance unbearable. He proved a truth with his actions - no matter how elegant the art is, it can be mutilated by him.

However, Tsukihime was not indignant about this, which seemed to be all in her expectation: "The reason why I am strict with you in terms of physical fitness, in addition to strengthening your weak physique as soon as possible, the most important thing is to lay the foundation for "Spirit Star Dance". But now it seems that your body has been useless for the past two years, except that you have been swollen in the waterhole. ”

After two years of hard training, he was completely denied by Yueji, Yunfeng was not aggrieved and dissatisfied, nor did he feel ashamed, which only made him more angry and responded to what Yueji said with strength. However, success does not happen overnight, as his physical fitness continues to increase, the more he practices, the more Yunfeng discovers the profundity of "Spirit Star Dance".

Half a year later, he has been able to complete the training indicators set by Tsukihime, but for the all-important "Spirit Star Dance", he is still in the introductory stage.

"Teacher, why do I always feel that my movements are fine, but I just can't reach the perfect angle? "Yun Feng has now been able to complete the dance completely, and the movements are basically the same as Tsukihime, but the effect is very different.

Tsukihime didn't say anything, and pointed at herself with a finger, and then at Yunfeng.

"Teacher, are you saying that I don't have any intentions?" Yun Feng looked at Yueji and pointed to his chest, and suddenly realized: "There are no two things in the world that are exactly the same, and dance is even more so, it is precisely because everyone's movements and interpretation methods are different, there will be different styles, if it is the same, it will lose the most important creativity of art." But no matter which way to interpret and adapt, the most important thing is to use the heart, without the heart, the dance will have no soul and vitality. ”

Tsukihime shook her head and interrupted Yun Feng: "I mean, can men and women be the same?" ”

Cloud Wind: ......

After Yueji finished speaking, she handed Yun Feng a crystal clear jade bottle.

"What is this?" Through the sunlight, Yunfeng found that it was filled with a red viscous liquid, and when he smelled it, there was a faint fishy smell.

"Your talisman, the essence blood of a high-level alien beast. Although Tsukihime's tone was light, it didn't mean that the essence blood of the high-level alien beasts was as cheap as cabbage, and it could be seen everywhere. In fact, such items are often priceless and sought-after. If it is easily exposed, it will only lead to death.

"Thank you, teacher. Yun Feng was like a treasure, and hurriedly put the jade bottle into his arms. He was well aware of the importance of the jade vase, but he also understood that the best talisman in this world was himself, and before his cultivation was completed, Tsukihime was undoubtedly his biggest leaning staff.

"I'm going to do something, and if you don't come back in half a year, you can leave on your own. Tsukihime said calmly, as if the decision was insignificant.

Although Yun Feng was prepared in his heart, Tsukihime's sudden departure was still beyond his expectations. With Tsukihime's strength, there seem to be few things she can't do. But Yun Feng heard a heavy taste from it, and felt that if he didn't return this time, it would be goodbye.

"Remember, don't mention me to outsiders when you go out, and don't try to find me. ”

"After you have achieved success, let's go to the Ancient Moon Country. These were the last words left behind when Tsukihime left.

......

......

The water in the pool is rippling, and the swimming fish are visible.

An unknown fish followed the end stream and swam upstream, eventually finding a comfortable habitat in a deep pool beneath the waterfall.

"Smack. A figure fell from the rock above, and the fish swam away in fright. It was only after a moment that Yunfeng emerged from the water and spat out a pool of water upwards as usual, feeling like it was watering the entire sky.

Floating quietly on the water, the clouds close their eyes and enjoy the cool feeling of the breeze caressing their skin. Because the water in the pool is hit by the current, which produces a large amount of oxygen, the swimming fish like to gather here, so the clouds and winds will encounter the small swimming fish from time to time, slippery. This intimate contact with nature fascinates him.

When the first rays of sunlight hit his body in the morning, Yunfeng finally opened his eyes, and although he was reluctant, it was time to leave.

"Farewell, Twilight Forest. Yun Feng picked up the bookbag he had packed and looked back at the place where he had lived for three years.

Half a year has expired, and Tsukihime has not returned.
