Chapter 17: Out of the Mountain
Ten days later, Su Jiulin was completely cured. And the mental state seems to be even better than before the injury.
During this period, Huang Mu, Gu Chang, and Li Chaoyang also came to see his injuries many times. watched Su Jiulin's injuries get better day by day, but the three of them never found out what the reason was.
On this day, Gu Chang and Li Chaoyang came to the mountain where Huang Mu's door was located again, because today Su Jiulin wanted to show how he used the "Hundred and Two Guan Mountain", and Gu Chang and Li Chaoyang also wanted to see how Su Jiulin did it without knowing the mental formula.
When everyone had arrived, they went halfway up the mountain.
There was a clearing halfway up the mountain, and Su Jiulin was already standing in the clearing. In the distance in front of it, there is a rock that protrudes out of the mountain, more than seven feet high and more than two feet thick. A group of people stood behind him.
"Master, I'll start."
"Let's get started."
I saw that Su Jiulin, who received the answer, was first pranayama according to Huang Mujiao's basic exercises such as guidance, breathing, fetal breathing, and contemplating the spirit. Then, while taking a big step to the right with his right foot, his arms quickly stretched out to the left and right sides of his body, but he didn't stop like Jin You, but directly raised above his head.
Then Su Jiulin pressed down his body, his knees bent, and he walked like a horse. And the arms raised above the head still didn't stop, and immediately slashed straight forward!
The two arms instantly burst out with two streams of true qi and smashed into the boulder in front of them.
"Ping!"
"Smack!"
In an instant, rubble flew sideways.
Looking at it again, two shallow dents had been smashed on the boulder.
It's even more powerful than when Jin You used this move that day!
Su Jiulin just looked at the rock in front of him that was dented by him, he still felt that this move was very simple, just luck first, and then when he raised his hand, he lifted the internal force to his arm and threw it forward forcefully.
"Third junior brother, Lin'er's trick is slightly different from the method we use..."After Gu Chang finished reading it, he also muttered to Huang Mu in a low voice.
Because among the four disciples of Wu Chongzi, Huang Mu has the highest attainments in the "Liuhe Xuanjian Palm", so he naturally has the most right to speak, and he often wants to ask his opinion.
Who knows, Huang Mu didn't seem to hear Gu Chang's words, and slapped his thigh and shouted: "Why didn't I think this trick should have been done like this?!" ”
Subsequently, in the surprised eyes of everyone, Huang Mu stepped forward and followed Su Jiulin's method to also make "One Hundred and Two Guanshan".
With a loud bang, the boulder was instantly smashed into two cracks. This is just a random blow from Huang Mu.
"Refreshing!" Huang Mu let out a loud shout, then turned his head to look at Jin You, "You'er, bring the sword!" ”
Hearing this, Jin You hurriedly drew his sword and threw it to Huang Mu.
After Huang Mu took the sword, he used the "One Hundred and Two Guan Mountain" again. This time, though, he slashed a sword. I saw a sword qi hit the boulder, and the boulder instantly cracked out a crack that was deeper than the previous two.
This is the method of "borrowing true qi", which requires the caster to be able to control his own internal force freely before he can use it.
Su Jiulin opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time.
"Lin'er!" Su Jiulin was surprised, and Huang Mu spoke again, "You take this trick seriously as a teacher!" ”
With that, Huang Mu threw away his long sword and slowly walked towards the rock, stopping about a foot away from the rock. The sleeve of his right hand that hung down also began to rise automatically without wind.
I saw Huang Mu slowly raise his right hand, and then put his five fingers together into a palm, with his palm facing up. When it is raised to the chest, it stabs forward sharply, and in the process of stabbing, the palm of the hand is flipped and the back of the palm is facing up.
At this time, Huang Mu's four fingertips except for his thumb had hit the rock, and the gravel flew sideways in an instant!
There are words in his mouth.
"A stack!"
Then, Huang Mu's right hand did not retract, but luck took another step forward, and at the same time, the middle knuckles of the five fingers were bent, forming four fingers that hit the rock, and smashed a piece of gravel.
"Stacks!"
In the end, his right hand was not able to come back and continued to move forward, while the knuckles of his fingers were all bent, and he formed a fist and struck the rock.
"Bang bang!"
The fist wind instantly pierced through the boulder more than two feet thick, and chiseled out a hole the size of a fist!
"Yangguan Three Stacks"!
Su Jiulin was dumbfounded, while Jin You and Chu Shifan applauded again and again.
Then, Huang Mu turned his head to look at Su Jiulin and said, "You come and try it." ”
"Yes, master."
After that, Su Jiulin wanted to step forward, but Huang Mu stopped him again and asked him to stand in place and try.
Hearing this, Chu Shifan and Jin You were both confused, when Huang Mu taught them, they had to practice against the stone, they really couldn't understand how to use the air, Su Jiulin was more than a foot away from the boulder at this time.
Su Jiulin thought for a while after answering, and recalled Huang Mu's move just now. Then he still breathed a little bit first, and then he learned Huang Mu to raise his hand to his chest, and then stabbed forward in the void.
It's just that Su Jiulin's stabbed arm was not as straight as Huang Mu.
"A stack!"
But it only stirred up a breeze, and the boulder did not react.
"Stacks!"
The boulder still didn't react.
In the end, when Su Jiulin clenched his fist in "Three Stacks", his arm was also straightened out, and at the same time, his left body increased the strength of his punch. A fist slammed into the rock from his clenched fist.
"Pong!"
The fist wind actually smashed the boulder out of a groove the size of a fist!
Chu Shifan and Jin You both widened their eyes in disbelief.
At this moment, Huang Mu, Gu Chang, and Li Chaoyang were all convinced that Su Jiulin was really a genius who practiced the "Liuhe Xuanjian Palm"!
To say that Su Jiulin realized it when he watched his brothers practice, it was absolutely impossible.
Because, if you want to use the "Yangguan Three Stacks" to play the boxing style, you need to practice the fourth and fifth palms before you can use it like this, and the only one who can use it in the air is Huang Mu and the three of them.
In the days that followed, Su Jiulin had an extra daily routine of practicing "Liuhe Xuanjian Palm" every day.
When Su Jiulin was familiar with the first three palms in two months, he went to ask Huang Mu the fourth palm.
At this time, he knew that the fourth palm "Four Scattered and Scattered" and the fifth palm "Five Together" were actually not palm techniques, but the mental methods that urged the third palm "Yangguan Three Stacks" and the sixth palm "Six Gods Without Masters".
And when Su Jiulin asked about the move of the sixth palm, he was told by Huang Mu that it could be regarded as no move.
"Once, Zou Yifan, the master of Luofu Mountain, brought a friend to our Shangqing Temple. After the meal, your master once had a martial arts experience with Zou Guanzhu's friends in the back mountain, and your master once made the 'six gods without masters' to palm. At that time, your master and I were only ten years old, and it was the first and only time I saw your master use the trick of 'six gods without masters'. ”
Huang Mu recalled seriously: "The other party's kung fu is extremely high. I saw that the other party used an incomparably powerful palm to attack your master, and with one palm, the wind was raging. Wherever the palm wind goes, it is flying sand and stones. Seeing that palm true qi is about to attack your master. ”
"And your master just slowly pushed forward a palm, and actually blocked the man's palm power a foot in front of him. The two of them were in such a stalemate, until the end, your master did not let the other party's palm force move another half step forward. The other party later commented that your master's martial arts could be ranked among the top three in the world at that time. ”
"And what about that Zou Guan Master? How many places does he rank, has he learned martial arts from his master? Su Jiulin was very curious, Zou Guanzhu's friends were so strong, he expected that Zou Guanzhu should also be very strong.
"Master Zou Guan doesn't know martial arts," Huang Mu said and looked at Su Jiulin again, "But his Taoism is very profound, and your master is ashamed of himself." Speaking of which, Master Zou Guan has come to our Shangqing Temple many times to discuss the Dao Method, so it stands to reason that we have to visit him when we have the opportunity. ”
"It's far away, let's go back to the battle when your master made the 'Six Gods and No Master'. After the two finished fighting that palm, they didn't try again. Later, your master talked to us about the palm of the 'six gods without masters', and asked us if we had realized anything..."
Hearing this, Su Jiulin turned his head to look at Huang Mu and asked, "Master, have you realized anything?" ”
"No......" Huang Mu also turned his head to look at Su Jiulin, "If you want to say that there is, it should be your master and me, who have practiced the sixth palm within two years, and your other three masters have not been able to enter the sixth palm until now." But in fact, I don't know how to practice the sixth palm..."
When Su Jiulin heard this, his eyes instantly widened bigger than eggs.
"Master! You'll be the sixth palm! Teach me! ”
Huang Mu frowned, and took Su Jiulin to practice the "Yangguan Three Stacks" that day.
The two of them were standing three feet away in front of the boulder, only to see Huang Mu looking at the boulder in front of him, but he raised his left hand and put it on the mountain rock beside him, without any other movement, just looking at the boulder in front of him that was already somewhat broken.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang!
"Boom!"
Su Jiulin was frightened, as if he felt something explode in front of him, and immediately raised his hand to block it. When he reacted and looked closely, the boulder in front of him that he had practiced the "Yangguan Three Stacks" had all exploded in an instant and ceased to exist!
Su Jiulin was speechless for a long time, looked at the boulder, and then looked at Huang Mu.
"Look at what I'm doing, that's how your master taught me to practice."
"I've also taught you the palm method, and I've also taught you the mental method, so you can practice it yourself."
With that, Huang Mu took care of himself and left, leaving Su Jiulin, who had not yet recovered his senses, alone.
It's not that Huang Mu refuses to teach, the main thing is that he doesn't know how he suddenly learned it, and he really can't teach. He thought, maybe just like Wu Chongzi said, because he has good qualifications, or maybe he can learn if Su Jiulin also sees such a duel.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Su Jiulin has been worshipping Shangqing Temple for eight years.
In the past eight years, in addition to doing some daily cultivation, meditation, and practice in Shangqing Temple, Su Jiulin still spends half a year going out to find his father Su Mingfeng.
He ran all over the large and small towns around Chongqing City, but there was still no news of Su Mingfeng. And whenever he returned to Qingcheng Mountain disappointed, he would jump on the roof at night to see the starry sky.
As for the sixth palm, "Six Gods Without Masters" and "True Qi Borrowing", he still hasn't been able to learn it.
But even so, he was already the best martial artist among the disciples of the Shangqing audience, especially the speed at which his true qi was condensed, Huang Mu was a little out of reach. But he always made moves with Huang Mu, but he still couldn't accept Huang Mu's few moves.
Because there are many things to do and places to go, Su Jiulin has learned a lot of skills in the past eight years.
In addition to working as a restaurant handyman, a man and a merchant in Chongqing City, he also did all of them later, such as blacksmiths, slender men, sandys and horsemen. In eight years, he had saved eighteen taels of silver.
On this day, just after delivering flour to the Haitian Gang, Su Jiulin took over another job of delivering rice and drove a carriage from Pixian County to Xindu County. And when Xindu was about to leave the city and return to Pixian after unloading the rice, he was stunned at the gate of the city.
On the city wall of the new capital, the government actually posted a wanted portrait of Su Mingfeng!
"Warrant
The criminal Su Mingfeng, who fled in the first year of Sejong, recently discovered that he was still alive and constantly inciting the people to rebel, and fled everywhere after being discovered, so it is hereby announced that the whole country is arresting this person. If anyone can take this person and report it to the state and county government, he will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver. If there is concealment and failure to report, the offender is guilty of the same crime.
Twenty-five years of Sejong
By order of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs of Tianfu"
"This official, where did this wanted criminal appear?" Su Jiulin asked the official who posted the notice stupidly.
The official turned his head, pointed to the writing on the wall, and said, "Look carefully, the whole country is wanted." How do I know? I still want to get this hundred taels of silver! ”
When Su Jiulin returned to Pi County, he found that Pi County had also posted Su Mingfeng's wanted portrait.
Su Jiulin then did not hesitate, and directly resigned and returned to Qingcheng Mountain. After packing his bags, he went down the mountain.
"Lin'er, this world is big, do you know where to find your father?"
At the foot of the mountain, looking at Su Jiulin, who couldn't wait to leave with his bags on his back, Huang Mu was very worried.
"Master, Lin'er has been taken care of by you and the two senior brothers for the past eight years, and has lived a good life for eight years." Su Jiulin knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes.
"But Lin'er's father is suffering outside now, and there are a lot of bad people who want to harm him, so Lin'er has to leave!" As he spoke, Su Jiulin kowtowed to Huang Mu.
"Master," Su Jiulin raised his head to look at Huang Mu, and continued, "If Lin'er finds her father, she will definitely come back to see you!" ”
Huang Mu stepped forward and slowly helped Su Jiulin up, and Jin You and Chu Shifan had also come to him.
Chu Shifan couldn't see Su Jiulin shed tears, immediately put his hand on Su Jiulin's shoulder, and said bluntly: "Third junior brother, if you find your father, remember to come back early." ”
"It's not like you don't know how unpalatable the food is cooked by Senior Brother." Saying that, Chu Shifan sighed, "It's too late to come back, I may be hungry and only have bones left......
"Poof......
Jin You couldn't help but laugh, but he didn't get angry, and then Chu Shifan's words said: "Yes, I'm still waiting for you to teach me how to cook, if the master says that my cooking skills don't improve, he will expel me from the master's door, and you don't want to come back next time only the second senior brother is without the senior brother." ”
"Big brother...... Second Senior Brother ......" Su Jiulin wiped his tears and looked at Jin You and Chu Shifan.
"As a teacher, it's still the same sentence as before, Qingcheng Mountain, you are welcome back at any time!" Huang Mu's eyes were also full of reluctance.
Su Jiulin finally reluctantly left Qingcheng Mountain.
Halfway up the mountain, Gu Chang and Li Chaoyang were watching Su Jiulin drift away.
Li Chaoyang, who has never spoken much, spoke up at this time: "Senior brother in charge, I have a high probability that he is after the chaos of the party." ”
"Oh." Gu Chang just replied lightly.
"Aren't you afraid that after you let him out of the mountain, it will bring disaster to Shangqingguan?"
"I don't know what is good or bad......" Gu Chang finished speaking, but he left on his own.
