Chapter 80: A Million Years Ago (6)
Duan Lili said: "Brother, you'd better not tell anyone in the future, but it's best to hide the sword spectrum in a place where no one knows, even I don't know." ”
"Why are you doing this, sister?"
"Brother, listen to me, this is the only way to save you. ”
The leopard was stunned: "Is this the only way to save lives?"
"yes! Who doesn't want a sword book, once you know you have it, will you take it, if you give it to him, he will kill you. ”
"Why did you kill me?"
"Because he's afraid people will know that he has, so he killed you? If you're dead, no one will know that he got the book. ”
"Sister, now you don't say it, I won't say it either, who knows?"
"Little brother, how do you know I don't want this sword?"
"So you killed me?"
"Okay, kill you, and no one will know I'm holding it. ”
"Sister, you won't kill me. ”
"How do you know I'm not going to kill you?"
Leopard smiled: "My sister really wants to kill me, she won't tell me!"
Duan Lili thought to herself: It seems that this stupid boy is not stupid. He thinks differently than the average child. So he smiled and said, "Okay, listen to my sister, hide it somewhere else tonight." ”
"Sister, why are you hiding? This is a secret between you and me, and no one else knows. ”
"Little brother, you go back to Dali with me. There was not a single person in this ancient temple. Aren't you worried that someone will come in and tear down the temple or remove the Buddha statue?
"Sister, I'm going to take it away. ”
"Oh! That would be worse! If we lost it on the way, or someone with sharp eyes found it and secretly poisoned us, would we still be alive?"
"In that case, I'll hide it tonight. ”
"Little brother, that's right, you should learn your master's swordsmanship until you have mastered a set of self-defense skills and know how to walk in the Xuan Ling. ”
"Wouldn't it be better to learn Master's swordsmanship?"
"Little brother, you only know the truth of martial arts after you learn it. If you don't have internal strength and other kung fu as a foundation, you won't be able to learn swordsmanship well. Listen to my sister, first patiently learn my kung fu, and then learn your master's kung fu! ”
"This is! ”
After they closed their eyes and rested for two hours, Duan Lili first opened her eyes and looked out of the cave.
As the sun sets, the sky is covered with sunset, and the mountains and forests are crimson.
She stood up, wanting to look outside.
The leopard also jumped up and asked, "Sister, can we go back to the temple now?"
"You woke up so quickly?" Duan Lili asked with a smile.
"Sister, won't the wicked come again?"
"It's hard to say. I'm going to go out and have a look. You wait here for me, and I'll be back in a moment. ”
"Okay. ”
Duan Lili's body was like a light swallow, flashing out of the cave and jumping onto the top of the hanging rock.
She looked up and saw that the sunset was like blood, the sunset was like fire, the mountains and fields were boundless, and there was no trace of anyone.
Then he listened intently for a while, but there was no movement around.
Convinced that there was no one around the ancient temple, Duan Lili flew down the mountain, turned around and returned to the cave, and found that the leopard was not in the cave.
She was startled when she heard footsteps behind her.
She looked back and saw that the leopard had already put the clean dishes and chopsticks in her hand and appeared at the entrance of the cave.
Duan Lili raised her eyebrows and asked, "Did you go out too?"
Leopard smirked: "Sister, I can't sit still after you leave, then go to the creek and wash the dishes, chopsticks and pots, the creek is not far from here, and I will know it when you come back." ”
It turned out that in this bushy, overgrown valley, a small spring bubbled out of a crack in the stone wall below the cliff, forming a small puddle, which then overflowed to form a babbling mountain stream.
Along the cliffs, it winds its way through stones and weeds and out of the entrance to the valley.
Duan shook his head and said, "Fortunately, I didn't meet the Poison Dragon King. It's dangerous for you to get out of the cave like this. ”
"Isn't it dangerous for my sister to go out?"
"Ah! I'm different. I know martial arts, I'm not afraid of other kung fu, as long as I don't run into the Poison Dragon King!"
After a long time, the leopard said, "Sister, since there are no more people from the Poison Dragon King, can we go back to the temple now?"
"Why do you want to go back to the temple? It's nice to be quiet here! Let's wait until it's dark before we go back to the temple." Little brother, you put down the plate, and when there is no one here, I will teach you light skills. ”
"Okay, sister. ”
Duan Lili asked Leopard to sit down, and first let him memorize by rote through his Duan Lili way.
Leopards have a good memory.
He would soon be able to recite ten sentences, so Duan Lili led him out of the cave and taught him how to jump between the rocks.
Leopard is light and agile, and under Duan Lili's words and deeds, in less than half an hour, he learned to get started with light skills.
I don't know if it was the leopard who got the leopard's milk, or if his master laid a deep foundation for him in martial arts.
He was bouncing briskly on the rocks, his body was gentle and gentle, like an agile leopard, which made Duan Lili pleasantly surprised and surprised, thinking: The light skills of my Duan family, in his application, have a unique style, which seems to be better.
I couldn't help but say: "Little brother, you have a very good foundation in learning martial arts! If you continue like this, a martial arts master will appear in less than three years." ”
Leopard didn't know what kung fu was, what a master was, but Duan Lili praised him and made him feel comfortable and happy. Asked: "Sister, is it light for me to jump around like this?"
"Count! Why not? If your light skill is not a martial art, then there is no light skill in martial arts! Come on, little brother, let's leave the valley and go to the woods to practice. ”
"Sister, can't this be seen?"
"Oh! Look at the sky. It's almost dark. Who's going to see it? I'm afraid you can't see well in the moonlight, and you won't be able to practice. ”
"Don't worry, sister, my master told me that I was born with leopard-like eyes. I can see everything at night. ”
Duan Lili was surprised and delighted: "Really?"
"Sister, I'm not going to lie to you. ”
Duan Lili thought to herself: If you can watch it at night, only the most powerful martial artist can do it. "This is what people call the night eye in the mystical spirits. Are leopards born with strong inner strength, or are they born with dark eyes?
She couldn't help but look into the leopard's eyes.
I saw that the leopard's eyes were big and round, bright like a clear spring, and I remembered that the leopard pushed Ma Laosi with the palm of his hand, and actually pushed Ma Laosi out of the temple scene, which is not the strength that ordinary young people should have.
Obviously, a generation of demon kings has passed his extraordinary set of internal work on Guan Fei, which has laid a solid foundation for him to learn martial arts in the future, but this stupid boy doesn't know.
So he said, "Okay, and I'll see if you can see it at night."
"Sister, can we leave without cooking?"
"Are you hungry?
The leopard shook her head: "I'm not hungry, I'm afraid my sister will be hungry." ”
"Oh! We're not going to be busy eating. Let's go and practice in the woods first. ”
Their original valley, into a forest, at this time, at night, the mountain bends the waning moon, rises to the sky, the moonlight from the spread of leaves, speckled, although in the dark woods, but in the presence of the moonlight, and in the forest things, still faintly recognizable, Duan Lili asked: "Little brother, will you go up the tree?"
"Yes!
"Oh, how did you get there?"
"Climbing trees, I climb trees very fast. ”
"Little brother," Duan Lili said with a smile, "it's not easy to climb a tree. You have to jump. ”
"The tree is so tall that I'm afraid I won't be able to jump. ”
"You memorize this method, and then do what I taught you. ”
"Okay. ”
The leopard followed the method taught by Duan Lili, his legs were slightly bent, his toes were a little strong on the ground, his whole body suddenly rose to the sky, he wanted to jump to the bottom of the tree, I don't know if he was too strong or too light, he almost rose to the branch of the tallest tree.
The branch was more than thirty feet above the ground.
The leopard felt like he was flying in the air, panicked, and then fell, he left, unconsciously used his climbing ability, grabbed another horizontal fork, quite agile, like a leopard landing on a branch horizontal fork, did not fall, and thought: I can jump so high?
Leopard didn't know that he had obtained a leg from Zhan Taiwu and a palm from the Poison Dragon King, and the two great martial artists had almost become internal force, entering his body, which actually increased his internal strength, of course, at this time, his internal strength, and there were still flaws in the distance from excellent masters.
He was born with a volley and jumped almost high in the treetops.
That's why the leopard doesn't know.
If the leopard's heart hadn't been trembling, and he held his breath, he would have easily landed on the cross at the top of the tree.
This phenomenon made Duan Lili not strange.
She was amazed that the leopard had such inner strength;
Interestingly, in such a hurry, the leopard completely destroyed the graceful movements of the family's light work and turned it into a strange movement that had never been seen before in martial arts.
It looks like a cat, which is really funny.
In the moonlight, she saw leopards rising and falling on the twigs.
She smiled and asked, "Little brother, how are you?"
It took a long time for the leopard to calm down and say, "Sister, how can I fly so high?
Duan Lili smiled even more happily: "How did I force you?" I thought, "I'm a stupid brother, and I don't know the internal strength of my Xuanling master!"
It's stupid.
The leopard was afraid of falling from the top of the tree, so he climbed down carefully.
Duan Lili shouted again: "Hey, how did you become an ape? No need to climb. ”
The leopard was stunned: "Won't you get hurt if you jump?"
"Where's the method I'm teaching you?"
"Jump!"
"Sister, will you fall to your death?"
"If you're a man, why are you so afraid of death? Jump, you won't fall. ”
The leopard once heard her say that she was afraid of death, and a stubborn force rose: "Okay! ”
"Oh, little brother, don't be angry, don't jump, use the simple method I taught you, hold your breath, stand on your tiptoes and fall. ”
As soon as the leopard came to her senses, she thought: Why am I angry with my sister?
My sister said this about me for my own good!
"Sister," he said, "I'll remember." ”
The leopard was lucky. According to the method that Duan Lili taught him, he jumped down first, and then landed on his toes. As expected, he didn't fall and was not loud.
Duan Lili smiled and asked, "Did you fall to your death?"
Leopard smiled not too shyly: "My sister taught me a good method!"
"Is that so? And you jumped up the tree again. Remember, retract your breath and don't use your hands. In the meantime, if you want to jump on that branch, use your toes with maximum force. ”
"Yes! ”
The leopard didn't do as much as the first time, and he jumped on the third branch.
However, when he landed on the cross branch, he was worried that he would not be able to stand, so he gave it a hard blow, causing the cross branch to rise and fall.
Duan Lili added: "Little brother, what's wrong with you? You just fall down like this, and then try not to break the branches? If you land on the tile, it will crush, and you have to lift yourself up so that you will fall to the ground like a stump." Look at me, little brother, how I did it. ”
As Duan Lili said, she jumped up like a swallow and landed on the horizontal branch next to the leopard, but the branches and leaves did not shake, like a bird flying towards the branch.
When the leopard saw this, she was stunned and said, "Sister, you are so tall! How can I compare with you?"
Duan Lili said, "Little brother, do you know what this light skill is called?"
"What's your name?"
"Tread the snow without a trace. ”
"Walking in the snow without a trace?"
"Yes, even if I walk on the snow like the Duan family, I won't leave footprints. When I get home, I can fall on the tofu without rotting, like a cloud of light smoke floating on the tofu without leaving any traces. ”
The leopard's eyes couldn't help but widen: "Can this really be the case?"
"Of course!"
But I didn't practice walking on tofu so I dad. ”
The leopard was surprised for a long time and asked, "Sister, how long does it take to practice walking on tofu?"
"Advanced ability, at least seven or eight years!"
"Seven or eight years?"
"I mean a period that requires a lot of skills. It is probably impossible for an average person to practice it all their lives. I've been practicing since I was a kid, and now I'm only able to get to that point. Is it too long for you, little brother?"
The leopard was a little deflated and said, "It seems that I will not be able to practice for the rest of my life." ”
"I can see it, brother, you are very capable, and you must be better than me. ”
"I'm willing to do what my sister did. ”
"Brother, why are you so unambitious? You are a man, you should be better than me. Well, little brother, you jump from tree to tree. Be careful, concentrate and don't fall too hard, if you hear the sound of branches breaking leaves, it's not bad. ”
The leopard looked at the tree in the moonlight.
The nearest branch was only four or five feet away from him, and he could jump farther as he jumped over the rocks of the valley.
Then he said, "Good!"
Then, focusing on his breathing, he jumped up and climbed to the nearest branch.
Duan Lili was overjoyed when she saw this: "Little brother, it's okay! Practice jumping from one tree to another in the woods." ”
The leopard saw that he had successfully jumped in a tree for the first time, and he became confident.
Firstly, he found jumping from a tree more fun and enjoyable than ever, and secondly, he felt that he had learned this skill, and in the future, when faced with ferocious beasts and evil people, he could escape from the woods, which was in line with the purpose of a decent martial artist learning martial arts - self-defense.
He never thought about defeating his opponent, nor did he think about flying over a wall to steal.
He carefully chose the nearest distance from the tree, jumped a few times, and slowly he became bolder, jumping farther vertically, sometimes jumping down, sometimes jumping up from the bottom, like flying, sometimes even making noise, he jumped vertically, shaking naturally, he climbed agile before the figure, with his hands and feet, more like a soft spirit leopard, vertical jumping,
Lunging in the woods, unconsciously mixing the light skills of the Duan family with his previous agile and light movements!
Duan Lili's light kung fu became plausible, creating a kind of light kung fu that had never been seen before in martial arts.
Duan Lili tried to correct his movements a few times, but she felt that his hand and foot movements were elegant, soft, sensitive, and light, which seemed to be better than the original light movements of the Duan Lili family.
She thought: If he can continue to develop like this, it will be good, and people who study martial arts will not see him as our family's light skill, and he will not cause trouble in the future.
Duan Lili is grateful for the kindness of the leopard to rescue her, she wants to return to Dali, and she can also leave if she meets the poisonous dragon king or other underworld people along the way, so she boldly preaches the leopard's light skills, she is very sad, and now she sees the leopard flying, this specious light skill, do it better, it will not affect herself, it is correct.
The time was almost up, and Duan Lili said, "Little brother, that's enough." We'll stop here tonight and go back to the temple. ”
Leopard asked, "Sister, aren't you going back to the valley to cook?"
"Isn't there any rice in the temple?"
"Yes!"
"I thought there was no rice in the temple! Since there is, let's go back to the temple and cook, instead of going back to the valley." ”
"Sister, aren't you afraid that someone will come?"
"No one is coming now, and I'm afraid no one will be here tonight. Little brother, go back to the temple. I'll cook on the fire, and you go and hide your master's sword book. After eating, go down the mountain overnight. ”
"Sister, do you really want to hide it again?"
"Do you think I'm telling you to play? You don't hide anymore, once you get away for the wicked and the murderer, you are not afraid that he will bring disaster to the world? At the same time, how can you be worthy of your unjustly killed master?"
Seeing that Duan Lili was angry, Leopard Er hurriedly said, "Sister, don't be angry, I'll hide it." ”
Duan Lili laughed again: "Why am I angry? If it weren't for the fact that you saved me, I wouldn't bother to care about your life and death!"
When the leopard heard this, he was a little disappointed and silent. Duan Lili became strange again and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Leopard shook her head: "Sister, now I don't have a relative in the world, I think you are my own sister in my heart, listen to you, but you don't treat me as a little brother, you only think about what to repay to save you, I feel a little sad, in this case, you don't pay attention to me." ”
This is the true feelings of an innocent young man, Duan Lili was stunned for a while, and couldn't help but say apologetically: "Brother, my sister was wrong for a while, in the future, I will treat you as my own brother, and never mention that incident again, okay?"
"As long as my sister is my own brother, I will listen to my sister for everything. ”
"Okay, let's go back to the temple. ”
Back near the ancient temple, Duan Lili listened intently for a while, and after making sure that there was no one inside or outside the ancient temple, she said: "Brother, sister wants to see your light skills, let's not enter through the gate, first jump on the tile, and then jump off the patio." Brother, go up first, and don't make a noise. ”
The leopard thought to herself: "There is no one in the temple, what are you afraid of?"
But when Duan Lili asked him to do so, he didn't answer and jumped onto the tiled surface of the ancient temple and the temple.
Although he didn't fall like a leaf, he didn't jump up the tree like a soft panther to make any noise.
Duan Lili was happy again: "This is the first time this stupid boy has shown his exercises. He was so outstanding. His future achievements will not be lower than his own. ”
Her beautiful eyes scanned the temple in the moonlight, and she said, "Little brother, go and hide your master's things." ”
"I'm going to the kitchen and I'm going to cook the rice first. After speaking, the figure flashed, and it had already rushed into the temple behind the kitchen.
The leopard wants to say: Sister, since we are brother and sister, isn't it good to hide?
But when he saw Duan Lili leaving, he had to make a helpless gesture.
He jumped into the courtyard and looked at the Great Buddha Hall.
The long, bright oil lamp was still on, emitting a faint glow.
When the leopard son saw this scene, he remembered the master in his life.
His tears were dripping down like pearls with broken threads.
After standing for a while, he jumped on the altar and moved the Buddha statue, thinking to himself, "How much is the sword book that Master left me? Is it really rare?"
The Buddha statue was removed, and sure enough, there was an envelope under the Buddha's cushion with the words "Leopard Son Personally Enlightened" written on it.
The leopard was strange again, and thought to himself, "Is this envelope made by the sword that the master said?" He opened the envelope and found that there was no sword in it, only a few lines of writing were written to him.
The leopard looked at the letter by the light, and the letter read: "The sword book is hidden in the cave you often visit, you should look for it and cherish it." ”
The following signatures: Master.
The leopard was shocked again. The cave that I frequented was three caves that I frequented, one was a small cave under the cliff behind the temple, one was where the Master was buried, and the other was the one where he fell into the ditch, which was a cave in the valley.
Three caves. Which one is it?
Because the sword spectrum is not under the Buddha statue, there is no need to hide it anymore. When I come back from Dali, I will slowly find it. So the leopard moved the Buddha back to his place, burned the letter, and went to the kitchen.
Seeing that he came back so soon, Duan Lili asked, "Hey, have you hidden it?"
"Sister, there is no sword spectrum under the Buddha statue, only a letter from the master. ”
"Letter?"
"yes!" the letter said......"
"Oh, don't tell me, you'd better burn that letter. ”
"Sister, I burned it. ”
"It's better to burn it. Then we have dinner, little brother. When you're done eating, pack up your things and get out of here. ”
