Volume 2 Water Bo Chapter 50 Before the Battle
Early in the morning of the second day, the area near the river outside Muyunzhuang was in full swing, and the sound of sizzling was non-stop. The shoddy arrow target is embellished with several crossbow arrows.
Li Mengren was commanding there like a dog, with a smug face. His long-lived uncle sat on the ground, sipping a sip of wine, which was delicious.
When Du Lengqiu passed by, he saw such a scene.
He walked over rather speechlessly, and went to the deserted forest in the distance to test the Hundred Miles Ling Feng Technique. The southwest of Middle Earth is known as the 100,000 mountains, densely forested, and full of tigers and leopards.
More than ten miles behind Muyunzhuang is this extremely primeval forest. There are villages on the edge of the forest where the crops are poorly harvested due to the geological conditions. As a result, people here live in extreme poverty. Everyone grows widely and harvests thinly, and usually goes to the forest to hunt and subsidize the family with high-quality furs.
The Zheng family had a carpentry mill near the forest, employing many workers who dried logs and made grain boats, providing a lot of extra income for the surrounding farmers.
When Du Lengqiu approached the forest, he saw rows of felling traces. The surface of the stump was already mossy on the surface, and next to the roots, clumps of seedlings rose from the ground, and the delicate branches and leaves swayed in the wind.
Randomly found a tree stump to stand on, Du Lengqiu squinted his eyes, and then jumped up, rising more than a foot high. At this time, the breeze was blowing, Du Lengqiu stretched his arms, his long sleeves fluttering, and walked with the wind, sliding three feet away. When he was about to land, he waved his sleeves forward, making a popping sound of air, and in an instant, the person appeared like a phantom ten feet away.
"See you for a long time, and say yes and go against the wind. As he spoke, he looked at the branches that were swaying in the wind, and said to himself, "Is it because the wind is too weak?" ”
Yesterday, after Du Lengqiu obtained the Hundred Miles Ling Feng Technique, it only took half an hour to comprehend it and refine it to the peak of the sixth layer. This is the Grand Master. Just like Zhang Wuji, who was a great achievement in Jiuyang, whether it is Shaolin Dragon Claw Hand or Taijiquan, it only takes a moment of effort to easily learn.
But learning and being able to use it proficiently are two different things, to use a well-known example.
The secret book of this learning is equivalent to mastering a mathematical formula when reading a book, and the skillful use of it is solving a problem. Everyone knows that it is impossible to solve problems skillfully without the painful sea of questions tactics. In the same way, there is no way to use kung fu correctly in the fight against the clock without applying it thousands of times.
One failure could not dampen Du Lengqiu's enthusiasm. This is the first light skill he has started, and he is naturally extremely attentive. He bent his legs and leapt to his feet, once again wrestling with the air.
This light skill is mainly about the understanding and application of wind. Du Lengqiu has a great advantage in this regard, he has practiced the first move in the Phoenix Sword Sutra, "Wind Change", and he has already exhausted the changes of the wind. It is very helpful to practice the Hundred Miles Ling Feng Technique.
One morning's cultivation is enough to make a hundred miles of Lingfeng Recipe a small success. At this point, Du Lengqiu completely concluded that this hundred-mile Lingfeng technique had nothing to do with Liezi Lie's Imperial Kou. This kung fu is not to say that it is a hundred miles away from the wind, not even ten miles. Du Lengqiu estimated that there was still some hope for resisting the wind for two or three miles without landing after Dacheng.
The name of this kung fu can only be listened to, and if you are serious, you will lose.
Just like Uncle Cao's generals dare to claim 800,000 when he has 200,000 soldiers, and Li Zicheng dares to claim 500,000 when he starts 60,000 troops, in this way, the name of this 100-mile Lingfeng Jue is not too outrageous.
At noon, Du Lengqiu was fluttering and swaying at an altitude of twenty meters, and a certain hunter in the village at his feet was maintaining his longbow, and when the greasy animal skin was rubbing the bowstring, his mouth opened wide, and as a result, the animal skin was smeared on his son's face.
Not to mention the chickens and dogs jumping in the village under his feet, Du Lengqiu rode the wind for more than 80 meters, and the height gradually decreased, and he was a little above the treetop of a catalpa tree before he continued to gallop forward with his strength.
Bodhidharma crosses the river with a reed, and the light work is superb, but it still needs the reed to borrow. Chu Liuxiang's light skills are unparalleled, and they are only swept away. Yan madmen have no eyes left, and they have never flown away.
In mythology, only the gods can fly to extinction without the help of any external force, and it is not for nothing.
Flying in the sky, the difference between man and god.
This hundred-mile wind trick still needs to fly with the help of the wind, to be precise, it is like a kite, if there is no wind, it will not be able to fly. It's not really flying, but it's still amazing. Coming and going on the ground, there is no dust, and the afterimage is layered, fast as a ghost.
Practicing the Hundred Miles Ling Feng Technique, although it is only a light skill, but the bonus to Du Lengqiu's combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. If he met Pai Zu again, Du Lengqiu would never be as embarrassed as last time.
When he returned to Muyunzhuang, the disciples of the Iron Arm Sect who were practicing crossbow arrows by the river were each holding bowls and chopsticks, and their mouths were full of oil. As a big dog in Dongmu Mansion, Zheng Mansion has never lacked silver. Fresh fish soup, roast mutton, let these guys eat with their bellies open. The so-called emperor is not a hungry soldier, he will go to the battlefield tomorrow, and he has not paid a single copper plate salary. If they want to be obedient, the only way is to show that they are not bad for money.
At the door of the study, Zhu Hao waited there quietly with a burden on his back, without the slightest resentment. He bowed respectfully towards Du Lengqiu, "Childe, you've got it!"
"Okay!" Du Lengqiu smiled and pushed the door in.
Zhu Hao untied the burden, and the layers of black cloth wrapped it were half of the jujube core. The jujube pit is gray, as if it has been cut whole by a sharp object, and the edge of the jujube pit is very smooth, about the size of a gourd.
There was ready-made tea on the table, Du Lengqiu poured it directly into the jujube pit, and after a while, a burst of wine fragrance filled the study. You don't need to taste it, you really want to know it.
"Okay, it's really Qingtian pot. Elder Zhu, you have made a great contribution. How can I not reward it?" Du Lengqiu circled around the table twice, stopped, and said with a smile: "What you are thinking about here is to kill the general and avenge your whole family." But do you know how to achieve innate qi?"
"This, I don't know. The corners of Zhu Hao's eyes twitched twice, and his expression was excited. He crossed his hands, "Please also ask Childe to make it clear." ”
"Old Zhu, you are an innate master, so can you release your true qi outside your body to form a qi wall?"
"No, you can't. ”
"Then can you run the true qi in your body to all the veins and veins without missing a single bit?"
"Neither can it. ”
"That's why. In order to become a gangqi, the true qi must be released, and the true qi must be released, first of all, all the veins must be connected. The question is, Elder Zhu, are you smart enough to practice the mental method?"
Zhu Hao moved his lips slightly and was silent.
"After the true qi is released, it is necessary to attract the qi of earth, water, wind and fire and turn it into gangqi. Among them, there is a doorway, which must be integrated into the four squares in order to lead the earth, water, wind and fire. Does Elder Zhu know how to unite the four squares?"
Zhu Hao continued to be silent.
Du Lengqiu smiled slightly, "Your merit is enough to exchange for an immortal fruit, but it alone can't help you cultivate your innate qi and become a great martial arts master." ”
"I can't let you practice Gang Qi, but I can help you get revenge. "Du Lengqiu has to be like this, this Zhu Hao stole the Qingtian pot, if such a heavy treasure is not rewarded, it will inevitably make people centrifuge and betray morality. Therefore, proper promises are a must. It's like a promotion and a salary increase in later generations to stimulate work initiative, and the two are the same.
"Immortal fruit, or revenge. You can choose one of them. ”
Zhu Hao's eyes flickered, and after a long time, he sighed, took a few steps back, leaned against the wall, tilted his head slightly, and tears flowed down.
"The one who wiped out my family was Li Siming, the general of Zuo Xiaowuwei. Please avenge me!"
As an outsider, Du Lengqiu naturally didn't know which green onion Li Siming was, but he didn't care, and smiled faintly, "No matter who he is! No matter where he is hiding! From the moment you opened your mouth, Old Zhu, he was already a dead man." ”
The next day everyone got up early. At this time, before the rooster has time to crow, it is the darkest hour before dawn, the waning moon is gone, and the stars are shining.
At the entrance of Muyunzhuang, more than 20 torches were burning, illuminating the open space at the door.
More than 200 people have gathered here. They gathered together in twos and threes, and the sound of small muttering converged to form an annoying noise.
Li Meng led the Iron Arm Gate and the people with crossbows/bows on their backs and gathered around the three carriages. The heaviness of the carriage made the ruts deep, pressing deep marks on the ground.
Du Lengqiu, who had been pranayama all night, walked out of the study, pushed the door and saw Ah Cuo waiting at the door, her eyes were slightly red, and she choked up: "Childe, come back early." Ah Cuo makes Mulian tofu at home, and he must put more sugar. Childe, you must come and eat. ”
Du Lengqiu couldn't cry or laugh, he was a foodie in the end, and his farewell words were so fresh and refined. Saying this, Du Lengqiu was a little hungry.
"Childe, I don't like to eat sugar, remember to put less sugar and more vinegar. ”
"There are still people who don't like to eat sugar." She hurriedly asked, "Why do you want to put more vinegar? Is this a new dish?"
"Because you're too sour, Atso. Far away, Du Lengqiu waved his hand and disappeared around the corner.
Du Lengqiu walked out of the gate quickly and jumped onto the top of the carriage. He clasped his fists around and saluted, saying, "You heroes have traveled thousands of miles to see the high righteousness. Zheng thanked everyone for the third son. ”
"I won't hide it from everyone. These three carriages were full of silver, a total of 100,000 taels, all of which were raised by the third son of the prime minister's family. As he spoke, his feet shook, and the carriage was torn apart, and the white silver rolled down in all directions on the spot.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is only an upfront payment, three hundred taels per person. But the big guy went to kill the demons, and the silver was too heavy to wear on his body. I will first deposit it in my Muyunzhuang, and when everyone returns victoriously and makes meritorious contributions, I will give three thousand taels of silver! I, Zheng Qiu, am not short of money, and there will be no shortage of copper plates. ”
After a pause, Du Lengqiu's gaze swept over everyone, and when he saw them staring at the Thousand Silver Ingots, their eyes were shining, their breathing was heavy, and they smiled with satisfaction. Why do our country-army brothers have to serve Yinyang before every big war, because the effect is good enough!
"If you are seriously injured and difficult to recover because of the demon slaying and demon slaying, you are unfortunately dead. There is no need for the third son to come forward, my Zheng family will take his family to the house, so that they will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. ”
"All of you here are witnesses. ”
"Let's go. ”
I went straight out of the east gate, got into the carriage, and went straight to Zhongsu Mountain.
Du Lengqiu sat on the top of the carriage and sat cross-legged.
The footsteps of more than 200 people were very heavy, and the sound of dong dong gave people a feeling of blood boiling. Du Lengqiu seemed to feel that he was lifting his strength and killing the enemy. Then he laughed dumbly, and next to him was not a strong army, but a rabble. What they want to kill is not the Hu people, but the monsters.
By the time we arrived at Zhongsu Mountain, the sky was already dawning, and a few pink rays resembled the corners of a colorful skirt, showing a charming curve. The glow of the glow gives the 300-meter-high Zhongsu Mountain a layer of soft light, and the grass and trees are verdant, and the glow is even more gorgeous. At the foot of the mountain, the water is surrounded by jade belts, which is beautiful and picturesque.
Looking ahead again, I saw a five-mile-long turbid wave rolling in Qinshui, and the snow-like splash was twenty meters high, as if the end of the world was coming.
Such a scene is not in the world. There was a burst of exclamation in the ranks, and there was also a wave of uneasiness in the hearts of the people.
Du Lengqiu was unmoved, he drove the carriage forward, and soon, Shuibo's temple appeared in front of him. It was an ordinary red-walled and blue-tiled temple, more than three meters high, and it seemed incomparably small compared to the monstrous waves.
Du Lengqiu stood on the roof of the car and looked around, only to see a little golden light tearing through the morning glow, shooting from the direction of Fucheng.
The city god is coming.
