Chapter 172: Grinding Dao
The scenery on both sides retreated like arrows, no, faster than arrows, at least Xiao Yan couldn't see clearly. Murong was leaving faster than when she came—at this time, she was carrying Xiao Yan, and she didn't need to accommodate Xiao Yan's speed anymore.
Xiao Yan closed his eyes and silently turned his internal breath to stop the bleeding.
When she arrived at the Yulin Academy, she no longer dripped, but she was covered in blood, and it was terrifying enough to look at.
The sound of the piano flowed like a spring of stones, coming from within the courtyard walls covered with verdant vines.
Murong Jue carried people over the wall and entered.
The maid on the corridor first said "ah", and when she saw Xiao Yan covered in blood, her mouth was surprised again, "Oh!?" ”
Dugu Jing looked calm, didn't even mess up the sound of the piano, and said with a smile: "Senior Qianshan, well, no, it's Grandmaster Murong - and Senior Brother Xiao, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Xiao Yan was already able to move, and when Murong Jue put it down, he immediately walked away from her, raised his bloody hands and saluted to the corridor, and said, "Senior Dugu, I took the liberty of disturbing you." "It's not what she meant.
Murong Jue seemed to be quite familiar with Dugu Jing, and sat on the corridor railing, and said in a voice as cold as cold snow: "Still a senior." His chin was raised to Xiao Yan, "I brought a wounded man, and I was tired of healing." ”
Xiao Yan slandered in his heart, this iceberg can still say a few more words.
Dugu smiled quietly, and turned back to his original title from kindness, "Senior, is this a discussion with Senior Brother Xiao?" As he spoke, his white fingers changed his tone, and the sound of the piano in Feiquan Shuyu was like a spring breeze blowing in the forest, the spring rain moisturized things, the grass rose from the joints, and the rich vitality gurgled out from the sound of the piano.
Xiao Yan immediately sat cross-legged, stared at his breath, and healed his injuries with the sound of the qin, but after listening to the two tunes, he jumped up and opened the boxing in the courtyard, and the internal qi flowed with the sound of the qin, and every punch fell on the rhythm of the sound of the qin. The forging fist she played was different from the past, not a violent thump, but as soft as a branch swinging, like dancing a green waist dance, but every time she shook her arms, punches and flicked her legs, a column of water soared in the stone well outside Zhangxu.
A touch of surprise flashed in Dugu's quiet and quiet eyes, a smile appeared on his lips, and he said in his heart: Sure enough, he is very talented, so he can instantly realize the artistic conception of "yin and yang are born together, and all things are born" in the rhythm. It's no wonder that Senior Qianshan is going to take action in person.
Xiao Yan felt that this qin sound was extremely good, making her inner qi condensed in the sword array more condensed, and the flesh, bones, bones and meridians were also tempered again in the healing of the qin sound treatment, and the internal qi of her forging body was tempered again, becoming more tenacious, and the dark wounds in her internal organs were also nourished by the vitality contained in this sound wave, and they were also tempered, which was several times better than the healing effect of her own forging body fist.
The tune fell, Xiao Yan just closed his fist, and the beat was natural.
The maid saw her standing in the courtyard with a long jade body, still dressed in blood, but her demeanor was extremely clear, like a full moon in a clear summer sky, clear and clear, and even the blood-stained clothes did not feel dirty at all.
Xiao Yan solemnly saluted Dugu Jing and said, "Thank you Senior Dugu." ”
He bowed to Murong again, "Thank you Senior Qianshan for your advice." ”
Although Murong Jue was ruthless, it was extremely helpful for her to condense her internal qi, and Xiao Yan was also sincerely grateful. Whether others have good intentions or bad intentions towards her, with her clear and keen heart, can clearly discern it.
Dugu Jing smiled slightly: "Mutual help and mutual benefit." Brother Guan Xiao's boxing practice also inspired me. He smiled softly, like a spring breeze blowing through a willow branch, and said, "Welcome to come often to heal your wounds." ”
Xiao Yan was a little embarrassed when he heard this...... Is this wishing her a lot of injuries?
Murong Jue had already answered on her behalf: "Come back tomorrow." ”
The corners of Xiao Yan's mouth twitched, predicting that he would bloom again tomorrow.
Murong Jue still climbed over the wall and walked out of the courtyard, as if he didn't know that there was such a thing as a courtyard gate. Xiao Yan estimated that Dugujing's master and servant had become accustomed to it, and didn't he see anyone look surprised? Maybe Murong Jue just saved the trouble of sending each other, and simply went in and out of the wall - with her simple and steep temperament, she really did it. Xiao Yan blinked, thinking that he might as well jump over the wall and go out, didn't he see that the maid didn't open the door there? Hey, she is regarded as a senior of Qianshan all the way. bowed to Dugu Jing, and Xiao Yan jumped out with a "whoosh", but he jumped out from the wall next to the courtyard gate, and finally passed through the door.
Dugu Jing smiled, feeling that the temperament of this "junior" was as the master said: "Very good", treating people politely but without losing ease: if he is really rigid in words and deeds, he is afraid that he will not go far in martial arts; But the ease to indulgence was annoying—at least, she didn't like it. Xiao Yuezhi, just right.
Xiao Yan didn't know that one of her actions made Dugu Jing's favor rise, she swept around and fell outside the courtyard, and saw that Murong's eyes were like ice and snow, cold and soaking bones, as if she was procrastinating, and when she came out, she only said "Beidou tomorrow", and went away like an arrow.
Before the voice fell, I saw a coat of white clothes, Xiao Yan still raised her hand and saluted in the direction she left: "What the senior said is." ”
The pressure on her from the Southern Dou Sword Formation was indeed not enough, if it weren't for Murong Jue's attack, condensing her internal qi in the Sword Array today would not have such an effect.
Although Murong Jue was indifferent and made his own decisions about her, Xiao Yan didn't take it to heart, as long as he treated her well, the result would be good to her, and she didn't care about these small sections. Although Murong is absolutely cold and difficult to communicate with few words, Xiao Yan feels that it is a human nature, and he can't force it, at most he slanders in his heart, but in fact he is respectful, otherwise, he would not be so polite and respectful to her.
After she saw Murong Jue's white clothes disappear, she turned around and went to the North House, thinking that the direction of Senior Qianshan's departure was not to go back to the West House?
Slightly surprised, then I thought that she was the Zhonglang general of the Jing'an Division, maybe she had to go back to the capital government office in the afternoon? Thinking of Jing'ansi, she thought of Lu Harmonic's case again - I have to ask Senior Qianshan another day, has Lu Harmoni's case been settled?
Of course, she didn't care about Lu Harmonic, but thought that if Lu Harmonic's crime was settled, what would be implicated by the descendants of the Lu family's officials in the court? The head of the family, Lu Zhi, should be demoted and demoted - what impact will this have on the Lu family? What impact does it have on the Lu family's in-laws? Xiao Yan remembered that Shen Qingyi's mother-in-law, Mrs. Lu, was Lu Shi's sister and the eldest daughter of the Lu family of Wu County.
Xiao Yan was concerned about what impact this matter would have on Shen Qingyi's biological mother in the Shen family—and at the moment, she couldn't say for sure. At least, it depends on how much Lu Zhi is implicated after the case is settled - this will involve the game between the families, as well as the attitude of the saint and the prince towards the Lu family...... Li Yuzhen's attitude is also very important: if she wants to fight the Lu family, she will take this opportunity to suppress it; If you want to support the Lu family, you will take it lightly.
Xiao Yan turned these thoughts, shuttled through the forest, and returned to the North House.
An Yexi jumped up when she saw her covered in blood. "The injury has healed, what are you shocking?" Xiao Yan smiled and asked her to prepare water, and after taking off her clothes and bathing, she changed into a lake silk shirt. It was already lunch time, and An Yexi went to the kitchen to pick up blood tonic food. After Xiao Yan used it, he walked in the woods for two quarters of an hour, and when he came back, he went into the study to write a letter.
The so-called "the way of civil and martial arts, one piece and one relaxation", Xiao Yan did not practice martial arts again in the afternoon, because there will be high-intensity training tomorrow, so that the body can take a proper rest, so that he can cope with the battle in a better state.
Xiao Yan felt that Murong Jue would still make a move.
If the Beidou Sword Array couldn't suppress her, she would definitely experience the ruthlessness of the Blood Sealing Sword again.
A sword and a thousand mountains, thousands of miles of blood - the former is talking about the power of her sword like a thousand sword shadows, while the latter is talking about the blood flowing from the corpse under her sword can be summed up into a river, if it is frozen in winter, it is blood that seals thousands of miles.
Xiao Yan felt that if it accumulated for three months, the blood on her body would be able to flow out of a stream......
In a letter to Xiao Chi, the son of martial arts, he teased himself and said: "Looking at the future, it is bloody." I felt that the second great-uncle would definitely laugh when he read this letter, and then squinted and took a sip of wine, saying: "Under the sword of the beauty, the blood is also merry." Xiao Yan couldn't help laughing, this is really what a beautiful master can say. But the people who died under the blood sword of the senior of Qianshan are estimated not to have this kind of "merry" feelings.
She wrote a letter to Ah Niang in a happy mood—this letter was to be sent out tomorrow: she had promised Ah Niang to write her a letter every day, and it would be delivered to Ikezawa stationed outside the east gate of the academy from An Ye Xishi. With such a former control crane guard in the late stage of the Ascending Extreme Realm as a full-time messenger, Xiao Yan felt that it must be safe. Of course, the letter to A-Niang only mentioned Senior Qianshan's help to him, and only mentioned a few words about his injury.
After writing the letter, I read the book for another hour, and it was time for dinner. It is still a blood-replenishing meal, Xiao Yan used the evening meal, so he changed into a robe with a lack of crotch, and took An Yexi to visit Senior Liu in the South House, and was told apologetically by his entourage: "A certain Langjun went out to practice today, and he may not return to the academy in the near future." Xiao Yan expressed regret, after returning to the house, he smoked incense and meditated, practiced the words for an hour, washed and went to bed, meditated, and went to bed.
The next day, before dawn, Xiao Yan still got up, went to Zhuhai to meditate and vomit, and then practiced boxing, returned to the school at two o'clock, bathed in the morning food, and went out at the right time.
When I got out of the courtyard gate, I saw that the white clothes were as cold as snow, and they were coming out of the verdant and lush forest.
Xiao Yan didn't wait for Murong Jue to say "go" this time, he stepped forward and saluted and called "Senior Qianshan", and consciously followed.
Soon arrived at the Sword Formation Alley with iron walls, and this time it was into the Big Dipper Seven Star Sword Formation. The second number plate that King Shen gave her was the appointment today, and it was obviously expected that the Nandou Sword Formation would not be able to suppress her, so she would only enter once, not the second time.
The alley of the Beidou Array was wider than that of the Southern Dipper Array, and the seven Xuanyi swordsmen stepped on the seven-star position, holding their swords, and Xiao Yan felt a sense of silence before he entered the formation.
She drew her sword and performed a warrior salute, and the seven of them returned the salute with their swords.
Xiao Yan put the knife into the sheath, and stepped over the white line of the formation with one foot, and felt as if she was in death, and the world within the reach of the sword array seemed to be drained of vitality, making people feel suffocated, and even her internal breath was a little stagnant.
Of course, the vitality of this heaven and earth was not emptied, but was imprisoned by the sword array, and only circulated on the star position stepped on by the seven people, for the needs of the seven people; However, the attackers are not replenished with vitality, and as soon as they enter the formation, they are fighting a war of attrition without supplies, and sooner or later their internal strength will be exhausted and they will fall.
Therefore, the Southern Dou Sword Formation is called the Array of Life, which kills people with excessive vitality; And the Beidou Sword Formation is called the Death Array, which is the death of people due to the exhaustion of vitality.
Xiao Yan first tested two punches, and after attacking more than a dozen punches, he figured out the mystery of this Beidou array.
Like the Southern Dipper Sword Array, the seven swordsmen of the Beidou Array are almost the same, because of the perennial cooperation, they are very familiar with each other, the sound is connected, the heart is imprinted, the vertical and horizontal strikes are mutually resonant, the head is the tail, the tail is the first to respond, the waist is the first and the last to respond, and the strain is very mysterious. Moreover, the strength of the seven people is connected, and she punches out, only hitting with two or four of the sword lights, but it is equivalent to fighting with the internal force of the seven people at the same time, and the combined attack force far exceeds the total strength of the seven people.
Therefore, this Big Dipper Seven Star Array is also called the Big Dipper Seven Rotation Array, because each person is seven turns, Xiao Yan is equivalent to fighting with the sum of the internal forces of the seventy-seven forty-nine swordsmen in the late stage of the Ascending Extreme Realm.
So Xiao Yan felt the pressure when he entered the battle.
The most terrible thing is that her internal force cannot be replenished, but the seven people in the sword array can absorb the vitality, and with the help of the large circulation formed by the combination of the internal forces of the seven people, the vitality is transformed into internal force, and it is endless.
But Xiao Yan's eyesight and comprehension are very high, and after more than a dozen punches, he can see the key to breaking the formation, as long as he knocks down the Heavenly Power Swordsman who intersects with the Kui Ladle and seizes the Heavenly Power Position, the Beidou Sword Formation will lose the hub of the body and the handle of the fight, and thus be broken.
But Xiao Yan's purpose in entering the formation was not to break the formation, but to use the superimposed pressure of the sword array to quench the internal qi, so she did not use the method of skillfully breaking the formation, but used strength to resist the formation.
But her internal strength cannot be replenished, and she must fight fast.
With a certain thought, she punched like the wind, and in an instant, it was forty-nine punches, and each star position struck out seven punches, and each punch was the strength of Yokoyama.
I saw that the shadow of the fist was like a net, and the sword light was also like a net.
The fist wind collided with the sword qi, and the uninterrupted force was like a thunderstorm, blasting out the air current, screaming and rushing towards the iron alley wall.
Under the snap of Murong Jue's fingers, everything disappeared into invisibility.
Half an hour passed.
An hour passed.
The more the seven swordsmen fought, the more frightened they became, even if it was a consummation in the late stage of the Ascending Extreme Realm, this was too much of an animal, right?
Or iron cattle that don't eat grass!
There are tens of thousands of tricks in this, right?! Without the replenishment of Yuan Force, there is still no sign of exhaustion of internal force, on the other hand, most of their internal strength has been consumed - although there is a replenishment of Yuan Qi of the sword array, the speed of replenishment is not comparable to the sharp consumption after all.
Finally, they felt that the opponent's fist style weakened! I'm happy in my heart, that's right! If it was really an unworthy "iron animal", they would all have to vomit blood!
The sword light instantly became stronger, and he decided to knock the young man down with one blow.
The fist wind and sword qi collided.
"Boom!"
When Xiao Yan's strength was weak, he was shocked by the combined sword qi of the seven people, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood.
The seven of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and were almost cleaned up by this young man.
was about to put away his sword, but he saw the man in the air hovering in a big circle, and flew back with a "whew", and shot down with both fists in the air.
That power is much more powerful than the original fist style!
Is this a big tonic pill taken in the air?
The seven people had a feeling of being dumbfounded, but their reaction was not slow, and the seven sword lights were connected like Beidou in an instant, converging to the Tianshu Star, and striking out a majestic sword qi.
"Boom!"
The sword qi was connected with the heavy fist wind, and the seven people felt a sweet throat, and the secret path was not good, but when they were unstable, suddenly the sky was full of blood, and the death battle was killed, and suddenly the whole "live". The seven of them instantly shook their internal qi, only to feel the power of Sen Han pouring in, and they couldn't help but shout in unison, and the sword qi was destroyed, and they defended this punch.
Xiao Yan only felt that the sword array changed, as if the evil qi of heaven and earth was pouring in, and the silent death array instantly became a bloody array.
She knew that Murong had made a move.
When Xiao Yan was shocked into the air due to internal exhaustion, the "Book of Changes" suddenly floated in his mind. What is "easy"? It is easy to have Tai Chi, which is to give birth to two instruments; The two rituals, yin and yang; The two qi are sympathetic, and all things are born and change. At the moment of her epiphany, the dantian was divided into yin and yang poles, rotating like a whirlpool, and the speed was so fast that she couldn't see the yin and yang colors clearly. The two qi are sympathetic, endless. The depleted internal force is instantly reborn and complete, and it is twice as strong as it was at its peak!
So, she broke Beidou with one punch.
But as soon as Murong Jue made a move, the shape was reversed.
The fist wind and the sword qi intersected, and after a few moves, Xiao Yan fell and flew out, this time the "bang" fell to the ground, his body was full of blood, and his face and neck were full of blood, like a blood gourd.
The corners of the seven people's eyes twitched, and they said in unison: It's so miserable!
In my heart, I also admired that this young man was two points stronger than the one who broke into the battle three years ago. It is really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, and they are all beaten to death on the beach by the back waves.
"Can you still move?" Murong Jue's voice was cold.
The "blood gourd" on the ground raised a hand.
After a while, the gourd sat up again under the gaze of the seven swordsmen, stood up again, and began to whirring and punching, the blood on its body did not fall from the money, and then it dripped less and less, until the end of the punch, and the sword wound on the body had condensed.
Then I saw the blood-colored sword light splitting down again......
It didn't take long for another blood gourd.
"Can you still move?" Murong Jue held the sword in his hand, the thin sword was like blood, and Xiao Yan's gaze was as snowy as ice, freezing and ruthless.
Seven people, but at a glance, they felt a chill on their backs.
In the blink of an eye, the blood gourd sat up again.
Stand up, punch, stop the bleeding.
The blood-colored sword light slashed down again......
Xiao Yan punched directly.
Blood flowers, splashes.
When Xiao Yan fell again, the corners of the eyes of the seven people were no longer twitching...... Numb.
Anyway, it's just a gourd baby on the ground, and it can't be killed.
"Can you still move?" There was a faint smile in Murong Jue's cold voice—although it still sounded frozen cold to others.
Compared with yesterday, Xiao Yan supported her nine more swords.
Not bad.
Murong Jue appreciated it in her heart, and sure enough, she didn't choose the wrong person.
As soon as she fought on Qianzhang Cliff, she felt that this person was extremely resolute, resilient, and extremely high in understanding, and he was a strong man who really knew how to fight and was willing to face life and death to seek a breakthrough.
The real strong person is not only strong, but also the belief in the Tao, never fear, never retreat!
Xiao Yuezhi is a strong man like himself.
Murong Jue's gaze at Xiao Yan couldn't help but soften, although this softness was like a thousand years of cold ice turning into a thousand years of cold ice, making people completely unable to notice the difference.
In Xiao Yan's eyes, it is as cold as ever.
Her eyes moved.
The strength of the whole body was gone, and looking at Murong Jue's white clothes, there seemed to be a ghost.
She knew that it was internal exhaustion and excessive blood loss.
She was elbowed and wanted to sit up...... Although he was unable to do so, he did not give up.
Green tendons burst out on the back of his hands and forehead.
Suddenly felt that his body was light, and he was lifted up by Murong Jue.
Seeing the white clothes go away like arrows, the seven people wiped a cold sweat - this kind of training is really not something ordinary people can bear.
The Murong family is as cold as ever; The Xiao family is indeed a "livestock".
Xiao Yan didn't know that since her battle in the Southern Dou Sword Formation yesterday, the name of "livestock" had quietly spread in the Sword Formation Alley.
At this time, this "animal" with blood all over his body was lifted into the "sun and moon in the well" again.
Dugu Jing smiled like a clear spring, "Welcome to Senior Brother Xiao." ”
Xiao Yan had a speechless feeling of "welcome, come back to heal", cleared his throat, bowed upright, and said, "There is senior Lao." ”
When she looked up, Dugu Jing saw the sword wound on her face, and the corners of her eyebrows couldn't help but pull: In front of this face, Senior Qianshan is really good!
Xiao Yan noticed her gaze, and thought that it was good to wipe the blood on her face with a handkerchief on the road, otherwise it would be too rude to have a bloody face. As for the sword marks on her face, she didn't care.
Dugu Jing smiled at her and pressed the strings with her fingers.
The sound of the piano is like the wind, blowing, like rain, fluttering, weeping willows pulling strips, grass buds growing, new leaves are born, and all things are full of vitality and prosperity.
Xiao Yan punched and danced.
The maid carried a pot to make tea, served it to Murong Jue with a tray, and stood on the edge of the corridor, looking fascinated.
Murong Jue sat leaning over the blue bar, his two long legs lightly together, this kind of posture that did not conform to the etiquette of the family, but it was unique to her chic and lonely, as if every "inappropriate manner" in the world would freeze into slag and shatter into powder under her coldness. She put one hand on the corridor railing, her handsome bones were like frozen ice and snow and her fingers were gently tapped, and the other hand held the glass cup, raised it to the thin lips and took a sip, the fresh white buds in the cup stood upright, floating up and down, the fragrance of tea curled out, the slightest heat seemed to melt the ice and snow in her eyes, and her eyes softened two points when she looked at Xiao Yan.
Perhaps, she can really like her?
Murong Jue thought to himself, his eyes looked at the sky, and became distant.
It is too difficult to cultivate the Tao of Absolute Affection.
The grinding stone that suits your heart can be met but not sought.
When you finally come across one, you have to give it a try.
