Chapter 16: Quicksand Between the Fingers
Night is the bedding of the sky, when the autumn heaven and earth are tightly wrapped in thick bedding to block the coolness of the withered yellow scenery, it means that the night has come.
Chu Muyun sat on the top of the mountain alone with his sword, opposite him was the cliff where the Seven Stars Soul Restoration Grass was found, and above his head was the boundless and endless gray surging clouds.
Perhaps because the height of this mountain peak is relatively close to the stars, his handsome face can still be seen in the faint starlight between the gray clouds.
These ten days of penance have made him look a little rare maturity now, he stretched out his palm, his fingers were slightly forced, clenched together, he felt full of strength, he must be able to hold the sword in his hand tightly, just like the confidence in his hand now.
For nearly half a month, the clouds accompanied the top of the mountain almost day and night, and the autumn wind seemed to understand his efforts and his protection, and it whistled violently with him, and the wind that swept through his ears seemed to encourage him, telling him that this was also an experience.
His slightly thinner physique also seemed to be much stronger than before, of course, this was only a superficial phenomenon, after all, it was only half a month, and it was impossible for him to have too incredible changes.
If there is any obvious difference from before, it is his own strength.
The two cultivation fighting tactics of "Canghai Moon Ming Swordsmanship" and "Reverse Step Seven Star Technique" had been comprehended by him to the fullest, and such a speed was something he himself had never expected, and to his consternation, these two fighting tactics would have an amazing increase in power under each of his drills.
He had a faint illusion that he felt as if he had invisibly entered the late stage of the Enlightenment Spirit Realm, because that feeling of touching spiritual power brought back familiar memories from his cultivation seven years ago.
Looking at the gray churning sea of clouds in the distance, he collected his mind, the rain in late autumn was about to wash the earth and mountains under his feet, and he couldn't stay for a long time, before going down the mountain, he decided to perform these two fighting tactics again......
"The key to the sword trick of "Canghai Yueming Swordsmanship" lies in one word, Ping! Ping is both stable and quiet. Imagine that Qianli Ping Lake is immersed in the red sunset, although occasionally the wind brings ripples and even waves, but his fluctuations are within an appropriate range, which is called stability. ”
"Therefore, when performing the swordsmanship of Canghai Yueming, you must not rise and fall, open and close, you must be as calm as water as always, and your heart must be as calm as water, and the cold light of the sword should be regarded as a little remnant sun sprinkled on the Qianli Ping Lake, as a foil for an attack, rather than a real nirvana, so as to accumulate sword momentum in battle. When a long-awaited round of bright moonlight rises at the end of the world of Pinghu, it is the same color of Pinghu Lake and the night sky......
"The most appropriate and shortest way to cultivate the Seven Stars of the Backward Step is the Big Dipper that can be seen in the ordinary night sky. Each of its footsteps is a combination of arrays according to the arrangement of the seven stars, although it seems a little complicated and difficult to understand at first, but it is the same, as long as you remember the beginning of the seven stars in your heart, then every change of its steps will seem the most reasonable and easy to understand......"
............
The autumn rain fell and stopped, the night was full and bright, and the remaining half a month was like quicksand that could not be grasped between the fingers, chased and dissipated by the wind.
And as the day of clan comparison approached, the cultivation atmosphere of the entire Chu family in Guhanshan Town became more and more intense, and those naughty and mischievous guys in the past were also forcibly dragged back by their respective parents, staring at their cultivation.
The clan comparison of the Chu family is an extraordinary experience and opportunity for all the teenagers and girls in Guhanshan Town.
If you stand out from the clan comparison, not only will you be cultivated by the family, but also the status of your parents in the family will also rise. For the younger generation of Guhanshan Town, who are not members of the Chu family, it is also necessary to grasp it.
Because in the clan competition of the Chu family, after the ranking competition within the clan, there is a free ring competition, whether it is the younger generation of the Chu family or not, they are eligible to go on stage to challenge the top five in the Chu family.
In the end, a few people who are really outstanding will represent the entire Cave Hanshan Town to meet the Qingyun Ling Selection Contest a month later!
On the penultimate day before the clan comparison, a young man surnamed Chu appeared in Guhanshan Town, which seemed very strange to many people.
His age is almost the same as Chu Liancheng, but his temperament is very different.
He was not wearing a robe that symbolized the Chu family's family emblem, to be exact, he was not wearing a robe at all, but a piece of wolf fur that looked like it had been seriously handled, his arms were exposed, and although he was young, he had a strong physique with great explosive power.
His face is also a little attractive, and he will even feel a little handsome after looking at it for a long time, but ordinary people will definitely not stare at his face seriously, and neither will the young people and girls of the Chu family, it should be said that they don't dare!
Because he will show his unruly wildness in his inadvertent manners and throws, like a wild wolf that has escaped from the leash, so that people dare not approach. His eyes were cunning, and there was a dangerous charm to them, as if he had been born out of a pack of wolves.
Yes, he was really born in a pack of wolves, and was raised by wolves until he was five years old, only to be found by the people of the family about the lost child.
He has a name surnamed Chu, called Chu Liankun, but the young man in the family likes to secretly call him another name, Little Wolf......
These days, Chu Muyun, in addition to continuing to practice the two fighting tactics borrowed from the Shu Pavilion, also reviewed some of the fist and foot techniques he had learned, although these things were the most basic, but in his opinion, they were the most practical for exercising his physique.
In addition to this, he also did not fall behind in the incomplete high-level fighting tactics "Seven Strings Slash".
It's just that according to the remaining fragment of cultivation in his hand and his current perception of spiritual power that is close in front of him but far away in the sky, he has never been able to successfully condense the spiritual power remnant moon, so as to completely perform the first slash, although he is a little disappointed, but he is relieved when he thinks about it later.
On the last night before the clan competition, after Chu Muyun returned from cultivating on the top of the mountain as always, he went to find his grandfather Chu Fengnan with the strange hilt of the sword.
Because he inadvertently discovered that the flickering sword eye was actually absorbing a black gas in his body!
