Chapter 160: The Ancient Temple (2)
"Is it the same for Elder Mo?"
"Brother Leopard, I don't believe it, but it's better to know one less than one more, especially about the cave, it's better not to let anyone know, in case there are too many people. If something goes wrong, it will set off a grudge against the Xuan Ling! Because of your master's superb martial arts, I am afraid that most people in the Xuan Ling will want to seize a rare treasure. I once heard my master say that more than a hundred years ago, in order to learn the martial arts of Taiyi, almost everyone was on the path of black and white. You're afraid I'm going to learn it, and I'm trying to stop you from learning it. I don't know how many people threw their bodies in the countryside and stained the mountains with blood. It is estimated that almost a thousand people were killed in this battle. It wasn't until the master of Taiyi Sect was forced to go out that the massacre gradually subsided. If you don't want so many people to die for your master's martial arts secrets, you'd better keep it a secret. ”
The leopard felt that the matter was too serious and that thousands of lives were at stake.
He hurriedly said, "I don't say it, I never say it." ”
Cuicui blinked her eyes and said, "You did a great thing and saved thousands of lives. ”
The leopard said to herself: "Why are so many people greedy! In order to learn martial arts, they even risk their lives!"
Cuicui said, "Otherwise, why did Master hide his sword in this hard-to-find cave? Isn't it good to engrave it on the wall of the ancient temple? Brother Leopard, you should learn from your Master's Shadowless Sword, don't let him down." I think this Shadowless Sword is the best. Shadowless Sword, Shadowless Sword, I haven't heard of it in the Xuan Ling. ”
"Cuicui, let's learn together!"
"Aren't you afraid that your master will be angry in the grave?"
"Ah, Master loves me the most, he won't be angry, and you have learned swordsmanship, you can do good deeds with me on the rivers and lakes, and his old man will be even happier. ”
"You don't have to worry that I will learn your master's sword. Did you do something bad?"
"Cuicui, you're not that kind of person. ”
"That's good! I'm going to learn with you. ”
The leopard was delighted.
Then go with Cuicui to see the first painting on the stone wall.
The picture shows a man holding a sword in his right hand, the tip of which is slightly stretched outward, and the tip of the sword is pointing towards the ground.
His left hand, with five fingers together, rests on his chest.
The sword's action is known as "Jade Rabbit Wants to Rise".
The leopard was stunned: "How do you call the jade rabbit want to rise? The rabbit is just jumping and running!"
Cuicui said, "Hey, the Jade Rabbit is not a rabbit's rabbit. ”
"I don't know, what is it?"
"That's the moon. ”
"The moon?"
"Literati often used the jade rabbit as a metaphor for the moon. ”
The leopard thought to himself: how can the jade rabbit be compared to the moon?
But he didn't say it, just watched how things went.
Cuicui is more experienced in learning swords than leopards.
When she was six or seven years old, she studied swords with the White Fairy.
Almost all the people she saw on the tip of Cangshan were sword masters.
As soon as she saw that the general moves were static braking, attack and defense, there would be more than ten kinds of moves, and there would be more than ten kinds of defensive moves.
It's like spying on the enemy.
It is unpredictable.
Cuicui couldn't help but nodded secretly, looking towards the second photographic pattern.
The second painting is called "Long Sun Butterfly Flying": the sword in the hand swings from left to right from the bottom, forming a half-arc.
The sword shook out, protecting the vital point of his body, and then suddenly stabbed in the middle of the sword's arc, like a spark of carbide.
Cuicui couldn't help but be moved when she saw it, and said "Huh".
Leopard was stunned: "Cuicui, what's wrong with you?"
Cuicui said, "I don't care. I was just surprised. The second sword of the Shadowless Sword is a bit like the twenty-eighth style of the Shadowless Sword that I have learned, called 'Bird Suddenly Frightened Fly', but it is much better than the Shadowless Sword Technique! ”
"Really, could it be that my master's Shadowless Sword and Returnless Sword belong to the same sect?"
"That's impossible. I just looked at it. ”
The leopard was still figuring out how to give the sword to the first picture, and Cuicui had already looked at the fifth picture.
The fifth painting, titled "A Thousand Miles of Clear Waves", depicts the infinite variation of the sword's power.
Cuicui looked at it and felt that the air was rolling in her chest, and her chest was so tight that she wanted to vomit, uncomfortable and abnormal, and suddenly a stream of blood spurted out, and the person was also knocked over on her back.
The leopard was shocked, and couldn't wait to help Cuicui sit down, and asked, "Cuicui, why did you vomit blood? Did you get injured when you fought with the python?"
Cuicui's face turned pale and she struggled to say, "No." I- I want to take a break. ”
The leopard walked around the rivers and lakes for more than a year, and also knew how to save the injured, so he put his hands on the acupuncture points on Cuicui's back, and slowly healed Cuicui's injuries, in order to heal Cuicui's internal injuries.
Cuicui's face turned red and said, "Brother Leopard, you don't have to give me luck, it's okay! ”
"Cuicui, how can you vomit blood and faint?"
"Brother Leopard, it seems that your master's Shadowless Sword is the best set. There is no inner strength. Not to mention to learn, or even watch it several times. ”
Cuicui is not wrong about this.
With decades of experience and painstaking efforts, Fang Wu has not only mastered the essence of all sect swordsmanship, but has also come up with clever ways to solve these problems in order to create this Shadowless Sword on the basis of which it will definitely be good.
Zen Master Fang Wu was defeated by Murong Zhi and lost his left arm as a result.
After Zen master Fang Wu became a monk, he often thought about how to break the confrontation.
It can be said that he devoted almost all of his energy to the sword.
He also came up with more than a dozen ways to fight against the Ximen Blowing Snow Sword, but in the end he sighed.
Simon swordsmanship can be said to have reached the highest level of swordsmanship: it is the hair of the sword. Because of the change of the enemy, there is no constant power, only the ability to conquer nature, which cannot be broken, only clumsy and slow control.
In this way, you can be on an equal footing with Ximen's swordsmanship and be invincible.
It seems that it is impossible to defeat Simon Swordsmanship.
The unpredictable swordsmanship and superb swordsmanship often give it a huge advantage in battle.
In battles between the two sides, victory or defeat often does not depend on the strength of the martial arts and the level of swordsmanship, but in this person, courage, wisdom, change and swordsmanship.
Of course, it's not good to be too far away, and in the slightest difference, you can often see bravery, wisdom, change, and tension and play in battle!
Good swordsmanship alone is often defeated by weaker swordsmen.
Therefore, although Zen Master Fang Wu had studied more than a dozen moves that could break through the West Gate and blow snow, he still did not dare to say that he could control the West Gate.
It depends on the play and tension of the scene, not the movement pattern of the deceased.
However, after decades of painstaking study, Zen Master Fang Wu created this set of shadowless swords, and practiced it to the fullest, comparable to the Ximen Blowing Snow Sword!
With such excellent swordsmanship, how can you learn it without excellent internal strength?
Fortunately, Cuicui still has deep internal force, drank a few mouthfuls of blood, and then added internal force, wanting to pass, Cuicui was afraid that after seeing the twelve forms, the real spirit was red, and she walked into the bifurcated path, and the meridians were confused, and she fell to the ground and fainted!
Now, after looking at five images in a row, she vomited blood and collapsed to the ground.
She has quite a deep internal force!
Other people who generally know martial arts, I'm afraid that after seeing the photos, they will be really angry and can't stand up when they squat on the ground.
With Cuicui's current inner strength, if she wasn't too greedy, she would look at a painting or two, sit down and rest, and close her eyes to rest.
She'll be fine, she'll gradually learn this good sword, but it will take her a year to learn.
Of course, ordinary people don't know about the Shadowless Sword, see the Shadowless Sword, and then nothing happens.
Because I didn't know how to use this sword, I couldn't see where this sword was going, how to stab this sword with true qi, and what happened after this sword.
It's like looking at an ordinary painting.
The reason why Zen master Fang Wu asked Leopard to come and see it was that Leopard had not learned any martial arts and did not understand swordsmanship at all;
Second, teach the leopard internal force, this peculiar internal force, can withstand any external force, the attack of internal force, there is no danger to life, after looking at the pattern, learn to act, no serious things will happen.
Fang Wu didn't expect that the leopard would not see his sword and would run down the mountain.
If he had been too greedy for life and afraid of death to stand up and save people, he would not have successively held masters such as the Poison Dragon King and Zhan Taiwu Black Arrow, and absorbed his body into his body, thus becoming the true qi of his body.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the unique internal skills that Master Fang Wu taught him when he was a child.
Others may have died several times.
Because Leopard Er had such a strong True Qi, he was at least slightly influenced by the sword diagram carved by Zen Master Fang Wu on the stone wall.
Because of this, he listened to Cuicui's words and felt at a loss, how could he vomit blood and faint when he saw the sword spectrum?
Why not me?
He asked Cuicui, "What's going on?"
Cuicui said, "I don't see it! Go and see! Your inner strength is stronger than mine, and nothing can go wrong." However, if you don't feel comfortable after looking at more patterns, don't look at it anymore, let alone think about the trend of swords. Sit down, close your eyes, and rest for a while until you recover. ”
"What about you, when you're recovered?"
"I'm afraid I'll only see it tomorrow! Tonight, I want to practice the technique of internal force first. ”
"In that case, let's go to the ancient temple first, and come back tomorrow. ”
"Why don't you watch it?"
"Cuicui, look at the lights on the cave, it's getting late! Besides, we've been in the cave for so long that the leopard doesn't know what to do outside. ”
Cuicui thought for a while: "Okay, let's go back to the ancient temple first." ”
She stood up.
The leopard asked, "Are you okay, do you want me to hug you?"
Cuicui wanted to say no, I can walk by myself, but the thought of being able to get close to him like this made her face red, so she whispered: "That, that's good!"
The leopard said, "How hard it is!"
As he spoke, he put the green on his back, leaving this big hole across the deep pool.
Cuicui whispered in his ear, "Brother Leopard!
"Don't worry, it's not going to slip. ”
Finally, they came out of the mysterious cave and found that it was already dusk, the sky was covered with rosy clouds, and the mountains were red.
The big leopard was happy to see them come out and ran over to wipe them with his head and body, hugging them tightly like a docile big tabby cat.
Cuicui struggled from the leopard's back to the ground, and stroked the leopard affectionately: "Brother Leopard, are you in a hurry?"
The leopard sang in a low voice, as if asking: Why did it take you so long to come out?
Cuicui patted it: "Okay! Now let's go back." ”
She said to the leopard, "Now I don't need you to carry it!"
"Oh, can you go by yourself?"
"Brother Leopard is carrying me! Wouldn't it be more comfortable for me to lie on his back?"
The leopard also thought about it, looked at the body of the python over there, and said, "Cuicui, if this python is placed here, it will stink tomorrow, so I will bury it so as not to emit a bad smell." ”
"Then I'll go with you to bury it. ”
"No! you're in good shape to play with the leopard. I'm going alone!"
The leopard jumped over the stream, dug a big and deep pit under the cliff, and threw the python, which was not yet fully done, into the pit, and was about to throw the python skin into it, when Cuicui shouted, "Hey, Brother Leopard, you can't bury the python skin." ”
With that, she rode over on a leopard.
"You want skin?"
"This python is as strong as a stone and is waterproof. If we make it into clothes, won't we wear it on our bodies? How do you make clothes out of python skin?"
"Will come in handy later. ”
"If you say stay!"
The leopard buried the python and put its skin in the hole.
By this time it was already dark, and night was slowly falling.
Cuicui rode a leopard, ran out of the deep valley with the leopard, and ran towards the ancient temple.
At this time, Cuicui is more like a leopard goddess on the mountain, and there is a guardian saint who is respected in the back!
Turning over the mountain, Leopard and Cuicui looked at the ancient temple, only to see a smoke rising from the ancient temple, and a bright light.
The leopard "huh": "There are people in the ancient temple!"
Cuicui said, "Isn't it what Sister Qing and my master are looking for?"
The leopard paused for a moment and said, "What if they come to us?" Cuicui, you go and see them. ”
"You're not going?"
The leopard shook his head: "I'd better avoid it." ”
"Then I'm not going either. ”
"Cuicui, why don't you go to see them?"
"Do you think I saw them and they want me to go back to the Tibetan Mountains? I won't tell you, will I?"
"No, no, you can't say I'm here. Just say you didn't see me. ”
"Will they believe it?"
"Well, then it's better for you to avoid it for the time being. ”
Cuicui thought for a while, looked at the ancient temple, and said, "I'll go and have a look." ”
"But don't mention me. ”
"I suspect it's not them. ”
"If it weren't for them, who would go to the ancient temple?"
"Hasn't anyone been to this ancient temple before?"
"Yes, they are mostly mountaineers, burning incense and worshipping the gods. But they had already gone home before dusk and did not want to spend the night in the ancient temple. ”
"Has no one ever slept in an ancient temple?"
"Here, sometimes one or two hunters who go up to the mountains to hunt come to the old temple to beg for lodging. ”
"So I'm worried they're hunters!"
"What if they're looking for a sister?"
"Well, let's take a look in secret. If it's young people, why don't we avoid them?"
"Cuicui, whether it's Sister Qing, whether it's a hunter or not, I don't want to show up. ”
"What if it was a gang of people who killed people and robbed the women of the people to go to the temple or something?
The leopard's eyes widened.
"Are they thieves?"
"Have you forgotten that your sister was robbed to the temple by the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain thieves before?"
"Well, it's ......"
"Brother Leopard, let's go and see! Otherwise, we'll avoid it. ”
"That's good! Let's go check it out. ”
In the dark night, they quietly came to the ancient temple, let the leopard lie on the stone grass, and jumped on a tree to peek at the scenery of the ancient temple.
In the center of the ancient temple there was a fire burning, and four strong men, with simple swords hanging from their waists, were torturing a man.
The fierce man asked the man, "Tell me, why do you want to hire a man to bring a cart of gold and silver here?"
The man said, "I'm not saying that I came here to build this ancient temple. Who the hell are you?"
The fierce-eyed man whipped him: "I'm asking you now, not you asking me." ”
The leopard leaned against the tree, saw this, and wondered, "What if these people are robbers who rob people of their gold and silver?"
Apparently not robbers!
If they weren't robbers, would they be nobles?
He couldn't stand the bloody whipping of the man and wanted to jump in and intervene.
Cuicui pulled him and whispered, "Don't go down yet, and then see." ”
The man said, "I have indeed come to build this ancient temple." Otherwise, why should these craftsmen be invited? ”
The vicious man whipped him with a whip, until the man's blood splattered, and said coldly: "Do you think I don't know you? You are a close confidant of the prince of Dali Duan. ”
"Okay! I'm from Duan Wangfu. ”
"Then what are you doing here with a cart of gold and silver? Do you want to buy the bandits in this area, expand their power, and fight against the imperial court?"
"Nonsense!"
Another fierce man said, "If he doesn't move, kill him!"
The sinister man said to the man, "You'd better think again." You said you could go home with this gold and silver for the rest of your life, instead of killing you. If you want to be an official, we can get you a good job in the county. ”
"If you want to kill, kill it! I thought I had falsely accused Duan of betraying Lord Duan, so you should die of this heart. ”
"Is that how you want to die?"
"And what do you want?"
"I'm going to torture you to death, I'm not afraid that you won't come out. ”
"Come on!"
Hang him upside down on a beam, and roast him with coals of fire, so that he may taste the coals.
Another fierce man said, "Hurry up, why do you suffer from the pain of flesh and skin?"
We had eighty-eight kinds of torture, even the torture of the iron men, and in the end we had to tell them. ”
"I have indeed come to build an ancient temple. What do you want me to say?"
"It's a desolate ancient temple with not many people around. What are you doing here? Do you want to send this cart of gold and silver to the Huai River?"
"Buddha".
The hanging eyes snapped, and a whip struck the person on the body mercilessly.
The leopard can't stand it anymore!
Falling from the tree, on the stone steps in front of the main hall, he read, "Stand for me!"
Four fierce men saw such a young man suddenly appear in the darkness.
They were stunned and asked, "Who are you?"
At this moment, a girl's voice sounded from the darkness, like a silver bell: "He! is the boy under the seat of Guanyin Bodhisattva." ”
The voice fell, and Cuicui appeared in front of them.
The fierce-eyed man asked, "What are you?"
