Chapter 7: Descending from Heaven
In his sleep, Helian Longshan and his three elder brothers went out hunting together, galloping and chasing on the meadow, so happy; when he got home, his wife served mutton and poured spirits, and he made two bowls of it himself, admiring his wife's beauty in a drunken haze: long eyebrows and sideburns, autumn water was full, skin was like snow, white and red, and her body was plump and well-proportioned. Unconsciously the spring in his heart, he stood up and hugged her tightly in his arms, suddenly his wife frowned slightly, tears poured down, and then her face was distorted and deformed, and finally became a man's appearance, and hurriedly pushed it away, and under a closer look, it was Hu Yanqige, he was holding a scimitar, and was slashing at his neck, Helian Longshan hurriedly dodged, struggled and woke up, but it was Nan Ke a dream.
Thinking of the death of his relatives one after another, and now he is left alone in this world, he can't help but cry like rain; he thinks of his enemies, and his blood is boiling, and he has already broken them into thousands of pieces in his heart; suddenly he remembers that he is now alone, and looking for his enemies is like hitting a stone with an egg, and his mood is extremely depressed.
Looking up at the night sky, the crescent moon is like a hook, hanging obliquely on the mountain, the clear light is pouring down like mercury, the leaves in the valley are falling insects, all into the bottom of the ear, and the whole valley is even more quiet.
Helian Long Mountain has never spent the night in the open air in the wilderness, at this time lying on the stone, looking up at the moon sky, by this hazy, dreamlike beauty of the impressed, the mood gradually calmed down, for a while unable to sleep, then enjoy the moon.
When I was a child, I listened to my mother's stories and knew that there was a fairy Chang'e on the moon, who was the wife of the great hero Hou Yi in ancient times. At that time there were ten suns in the sky. The scorching sun scorched the crops, roasted the grass and trees, and made it difficult for the people to continue their lives. Husband Hou Yi stepped forward, climbed to the top of Kunlun Mountain, used his divine power, pulled out the divine bow, and shot down nine extra suns in one go, so that everything in the world could multiply again, and the people lived a happy life. Hou Yi shot the sun, and the Jade Emperor in the sky gave him an immortal pill, and after taking this medicine, he could immediately ascend to heaven and become an immortal. However, he was reluctant to leave his beloved wife, so he handed over the elixir of immortality to Chang'e for safekeeping, and continued to live an ordinary life of love with his wife. Hou Yi's exploits spread all over the world, and there was an endless stream of people with lofty ideals who came to learn from him. Among the disciples, there was a man called the Fool, who was treacherous and cunning, and had an improper mind. When he heard that his wife Chang'e had hidden an immortal elixir, he wanted to steal it for himself. One day, the master wanted to take his apprentice out hunting, but he pretended to be sick and stayed at home. After everyone left, Xiaomeng forced his wife to hand over the immortal medicine, Chang'e knew that she was not Pengmeng's opponent, so she was in a hurry, took out the immortal medicine and swallowed it in one gulp. Chang'e swallowed the medicine and floated off the ground and flew into the sky. But she was concerned about her husband, so she flew down to the nearest moon and became a fairy.
Helian Longshan hated Xiaomeng. He broke up the loving husband and wife, causing Houyi and Chang'e to be separated forever, and suffered from lovesickness every day. The crescent moon is bright, and there is indeed a shadow in the middle, in a trance, like a beautiful woman wandering in the moon. As he gazed, the shadow flickered, detached from the moon and floated down the mountain wall.
Helian Longshan was shocked, hurriedly rubbed his eyes with his hands, and looked at it again, there was no doubt that it was clearly a figure. The crescent moon is like a hook, hanging on the side of the mountain, and Helian Long Mountain mistakenly mixes the figure with the shadow of the moon. He thought to himself: The mountain wall is as smooth as cutting, and there is almost no place to borrow strength, this person climbs down the rock, light and free, like a gecko swimming on the wall, if there is no supreme martial arts, it will be difficult to do. In an instant, the man fell to the ground and disappeared into the shadows of the trees.
Barren mountains and mountains, three watches in the middle of the night, why did the peerless master go down from the cliff, could it be that his home was on this dangerous peak, Helian Long Mountain was puzzled. Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and it was heard very vividly in the quiet night, from far and near, it was from the direction of the figure descending the mountain, Helian Long Mountain couldn't help but get nervous when he climbed, and he was busy covering his body with branches, and he lay on the stone and did not dare to move.
In the moonlight, a man walked quickly, walked to the middle of the meadow in front of the stone, sat cross-legged, silent, and after about half an hour, he slowly stood up, drew his sword from behind, and danced under the moon.
Helian Longshan knew a little about swordsmanship, so he took advantage of the moonlight to appreciate it carefully. At the beginning, the man's movements were not very fast, and his body shape and footwork could still be distinguished clearly, only to see his sword moving with his body, walking with his sword, splitting and pricking, flashing and moving, like mercury pouring on the ground, beads rolling jade plates, it was really a combination of body and sword, hearty; later, the long sword danced faster and faster, it was like a storm, and the whole body was shrouded in sword light, and the body shape and footwork were completely unclear, only to see a cloud of white light on the grass flickering east and west, back and forth, rolling around.
Suddenly, the man jumped up, like a storm in the air, circled up, the long sword in his hand danced, the sword light above his head was shining, and when the rise was exhausted, he immediately swooped down, and the long sword pulled several sword flowers in a row, and when he was about to hit the ground, he suddenly shrank his abdomen and twisted his body, turned his body over, and landed firmly on his feet, without moving;
Helian Longshan enjoyed watching it, and wanted to cheer loudly, afraid of being alerted by the other party, so he hurriedly covered his mouth. The man leaned over and tossed the leaves from the ground, as if to gauge the number of fallen leaves, and then put his sword into its sheath, placed it on the ground, and sat cross-legged again, and did not move.
Helian Longshan had never seen such a superior martial arts, and he couldn't help but be deeply impressed by him: ordinary people are not easy to jump up a foot, he is in the air, more than two feet, and the strength on his feet is not known to be several times greater than ordinary people. Helian Longshan didn't know that there was still light body kung fu in this world, so he speculated with common sense that the higher he jumped, the greater the strength in his legs. Recalling the scene of the right talent, the man's long sword did not touch the leaves, and why the leaves fell all over the ground were really incredible. I can't help but think: If you can learn such a miracle, why worry about revenge.
After another half an hour, the man slowly stood up, stretched his waist, stretched his arms and legs from side to side, and then jumped up, and his body turned sideways in the air, with his back to the ground, and fell down, but when he landed silently.
Helian Longshan was amazed in his heart, and he didn't understand what kind of Qimen martial arts this was. I saw that the man jumped higher and higher, and the landing part was constantly changing, sometimes waist on the ground, sometimes shoulder on the ground, sometimes chest on the ground, and sometimes knees on the ground, but no matter how the landing part changed, there was always no sound when landing. After practicing like this for about half an hour, the man took up his sword and disappeared into the woods from which he came.
Helian Long Mountain looked at the mountain wall, and sure enough, he saw a figure climbing up from the same place. As the day began to dawn, Helian Long jumped off the boulder and looked closely, and the place where the man practiced was firm and smooth, with no grass growing and leaves all around.
Helian Longshan thought to himself: It turned out that this flat land was opened up by that person for practice, and yesterday evening, the light was dim, and he didn't notice it. Helian Long Mountain speculated that there should be many shallow pits on the ground, and that the man would inevitably smash out many marks when he jumped up and fell from the sky. But he searched back and forth, but found no sign of potholes.
