Chapter 8: The Sudden Storm
Seven days have passed, and the injuries have improved. But Liu Mu, the general of Dingyuan, did not arrive, according to Liu Jinghao, he came from Liangzhou, and it will take time, so everyone will be patient.
During this period, Li Chengtang Feng was handsome, and his image like a god of war in the fairy world had been spread in the army. One person fought the top ten masters alone, killed more than a thousand soldiers and fierce generals, and even rumored to fight 10,000 people alone. Rong Yao autumn chrysanthemum, Huamao spring pine, one time only.
At the right time, Li Chengtang has changed his original simple clothes, wearing a dark robe with a gold thread crimson pattern, stretching the atmosphere, smart and elegant. In addition, he has washed all the dust all the way and returned to his original appearance, he was originally angular and handsome, and at this time, there was an aura in his big eyes. The wind god is bright, cold and extraordinary, and outstanding. Walking in the army, the soldiers are all respectful of gods.
Li Chengtang's residence is next to Liu Jinghao's general camp tent, and four personal guards are specially arranged, and next to it is the yurt of Ah Ge's family, so that Ayi can take care of Li Chengtang nearby. Ayiyi has not left Li Chengtang for seven consecutive days, serving her close to her like a maid, and she is not ashamed of a girl's family, and she lies in the tent when she is sleepy, of course, Kazakhs don't care about the etiquette of these men and women.
Li Chengtang was very reluctant to go, in fact, he didn't have any major injuries, and he had already improved greatly in a few days of pranayama, and he had already moved freely three days ago. But Ayiyi refused to leave, since she saw Li Chengtang saving her family from danger, as well as the handsome and heroic posture of killing the enemy like a star, her heart has long been attached to it. She has a straightforward temperament, is not good at hiding her feelings, and even pesters Li Chengtang to teach her martial arts.
"Brother Li, let Yiyi be your girl in the future, you teach Yiyi martial arts, so that you can fight the bad guys together." Ayiyi pestered Li Chengtang Jiao.
"How can it be, I treat you as a sister, how can I let my sister be a girl, and besides, I am a big man walking the rivers and lakes with a girl, how inconvenient!" Li Chengtang Zhengse said.
"Brother Li is disgusted with Yiyi's stupidity, he can't serve people, he doesn't know martial arts, and he's not a Han Chinese." Ayiyi "pouted", twisted Xiaoman's waist unhappily, and the ornaments on her waist "dingdong" sounded.
"But Yiyi is very powerful in archery on the grassland, and he can definitely help Brother Li, besides, we Kazakhs don't have so many rules, Yiyi likes you, and I can do anything with you." After Yiyi finished speaking, a pair of autumn water eyes stared at Li Chengtang's big eyes.
Li Chengtang stroked Ayiyi's face, there was really no way to take this Kazakh little sister, he scraped her nose with his hand, and said in a harmonious voice: "Silly girl, how can Brother Li dislike you, you see how this is, I will teach you some self-cultivation and qi cultivation skills first, and when you have achieved something, how about coming to the Central Plains to find me." ”
Martial arts, unless the root bone is wonderful or has an organic fate, it can be practiced overnight. Li Chengtang said this because he wanted to put an end to Ayiyi's thoughts. At the same time, I thought that it would be okay to let Ayiyi practice true qi and strengthen her body.
Ayiyi listened to Li Chengtang's words and agreed, and made an agreement with Li Chengtang very seriously.
For three days in a row, Li Chengtang taught her a set of martial arts methods hidden at home. This set of mental methods was accidentally obtained by Li Chengtang when he was a child in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion at home, and his grandfather told him that this set of exercises was suitable for women to practice, and he never practiced it. At this time, it was passed to Ayiyi and explained in detail.
Although Ayiyi only started to practice martial arts at such an age, his comprehension was still acceptable, and he worked very hard, and he comprehended the principles of this set of qigong exercises in three days, and meditated and practiced every day.
On the evening of the seventh day, Li Chengtang was meditating and practicing, and his true qi was running for a week, and the "dragon sword" was faintly sounding beside him, as if it was out of the sheath. Ayiyi opened the curtain door and came in, looking very happy, "Brother Li's kung fu is really amazing, are you the number one master in the Central Plains?" ”
Li Chengtang put away the exercises, got up and said with a smile: "Martial arts has a long history, many peerless hidden masters are not born, Brother Li is not the first, by the way, you don't practice, what are you doing here?" ”
Ayiyi was full of joy and said, "Come to you to watch the moon together, today is the fifteenth, the moon on the grassland is so beautiful." Without saying anything, he took Li Chengtang's hand and walked out.
Outside the tent, the moonlight was bright and clear. The grassland was filled with the heat and the scent of the smoky grass, and the moon cast a silver net over everything. To tell the truth, since Li Chengtang entered the WTO, he has never been so quiet and serene.
Nearby, there are tents, sporadic bonfires, and quiet patrols. In the distance, empty and fresh, the moon hung like a jade disk in the quiet night sky, so close and yet so far away. It's a quiet and vast prairie moonlit night.
Li Chengtang let Ayi pull him to a small hill in the distance. A lake under the hill, sparkling in the moonlight.
The two sat down and watched the moonlight on the grassland. Ayiyi looked coquettish, "Brother Li, don't you see it's beautiful, I like to come here to see the moon whenever the moon is full, do you like it?" ”
Li Chengtang looked at this grassland in a daze, the empty moonlight covered the vast grassland, shaking off the dust all the way. The earthy grass is fragrant, serene and serene. I couldn't help but secretly swear in my heart that I must protect this pure land, and the stability and tranquility of Datang are the reliance of this grassland.
Ayiyi was not only stunned when she looked at his resolute, handsome, and bright face, but was about to speak again. Suddenly, Li Chengtang made a gesture of silence, and he heard a sound of talking from under the hill.
"Hou Zipeng, who are you and who are you passing the news to!" A woman's voice came.
Someone laughed and said: "Miss Ran, you are meddling, the old man has been taken care of by the Ran family for many years, and he didn't want to do anything to the Ran family, if he said it, he was afraid that it would be bad for the Ran family, and Xiaogushan was not something that your Ran family could afford to provoke!" ”
This female voice is Ran Jingjing, she is in a family, she has heard the name of Xiao Gushan, but she doesn't know much about it, she shouted sharply: "You are a person from Xiao Gushan, what is the intention of hiding in my Ran family for many years?!" ”
Li Chengtang led Ayiyi to sneak closer, and saw that the person named Hou Zipeng was the doorman of the Ran family who used a sword. I remember that this person was injured at that time, and the cultivation of the nine-stage master was instantly exposed, but looking at his current injury, he is much better.
Hou Zipeng smiled coldly: "It's okay to tell you, anyway, you don't want to leave this place." After speaking, he deceived himself and walked towards Ran Jingjing, "Xiao Gushan originally wanted your Ran family's 'flying sword trick', although he didn't find news for many years, he didn't think about hurting the Ran family, and now that there are ancient sword gods in the world, it is not worth the trip, your Ran family should be happy to escape this catastrophe temporarily, but you have to be nosy, you can only die if you know!" ”
Ran Jingjing knew that it was not his opponent, and seeing him deceive forward, she slowly retreated while talking, preparing to escape back to the big tent in the military camp in the distance.
"You are passing the news to Xiao Gushan, Li Gongzi is not easy for you to bully!" With that, she suddenly flew up and fled in the direction where Li Chengtang lived.
Hou Zipeng came first and intercepted Ran Jingjing. Ran Jingjing didn't dare to slack off, shook her long sword, picked up a sword flower, and stabbed at Hou Zipeng. He didn't stop and fled to the side.
The two of them have a five-dan entry and a ninth-dan master, and the gap is too big. Hou Zipeng lightly touched the scabbard, and Ran Jingjing staggered back a few steps. I secretly regret that I don't usually practice martial arts very hard, otherwise I wouldn't be so unbearable.
Hou Zipeng sneered, "You blame only the surnamed Li for his guilt, remember that the old man is ruthless!" I saw him pull out his long sword, cut the sea with a sword, and splendor was magnificent, and slashed towards Ran Jingjing.
Ran Jingjing had no power to fight back, her face was bleak, and she had to wait for death.
When Li Chengtang heard Hou Zipeng talk about the ancient sword divine soldier, he was secretly a little angry, but it turned out that everything was caused by himself, and at this time, with a light scream, the heavy sword flew out, and suddenly blocked in front of Hou Zipeng.
Hou Zipeng was shocked, and suddenly felt that gravity pressed his chest, and the sword in his hand was a little uncontrollable. At a glance, I saw Li Chengtang walking out of the shadows.
Ran Jingjing was waiting for death, and at this time, she suddenly saw Li Chengtang, staring at his body under the moonlight, staring at his big eyes, and suddenly a burst of misery came to her heart, and she couldn't help hugging Li Chengtang, and her tears couldn't stop falling. Li Chengtang rescued her several times, and her handsome body has left a deep impression in her heart. At this moment, she was even more aggrieved in her heart.
In fact, Ran Jingjing has always wanted to take care of Li Chengtang, or visit him, and she has never forgotten it in her heart for seven days. It's just that after setting up camp, Ran Fei told her that the two disciples were hiding their martial arts cultivation, and they must have a plan, so she kept an eye on it. Ran Jingjing stared at the two doormen by herself, and she was already exhausted, and she couldn't be idle for a moment.
Fortunately, the doorman with the knife was relatively safe, but the man with the surname Hou often wandered around, and released a few carrier pigeons from time to time. Tonight, she followed this point, but was unexpectedly discovered by the surnamed Hou, which almost cost her life.
Ran Jingjing's mood was a little calm, and she gently pushed Li Chengtang away, wearing a low-cut wipe skirt that was slightly messy, and a pair of mellow jade peaks were exposed, and she said shyly: "Is the child's injury already healed?" ”
Li Chengtang smiled slightly, "It's no big deal, thank you Miss Ran for your concern, and you stand aside." ”
Hou Zipeng saw Li Chengtang suddenly appear, he was terrified, he had seen Li Chengtang's killing enemy Tianwei, he didn't dare to be careless, he secretly thought about the response plan in his heart, and suddenly saw him look up to the sky and make a "whistle".
Li Chengtang looked at him, his face sank like water, and said, "Do you have a last word, you want my sword, let me weigh your cultivation!" "Hou Zipeng killed Ran Jingjing for his sword, which has made Li Chengtang murderous.
After speaking, as soon as he drew his sword, the heavy sword was handed to Hou Zipeng without warning. Hou Zipeng had seen him kill the apprentice of "Fan Maitreya", and the master of the ninth section had no power to fight back in front of him, how dare he take the move, and quickly retreated.
Li Chengtang followed him like a shadow, and the scabbard was still less than three inches away from Hou Zipeng, as if Hou Zipeng had not retreated.
Hou Zipeng was frightened and inexplicable, his true qi ran all over his body, desperately trying to give up one arm, and danced a sword curtain with a style of "blue sea breaking the stream", retreating while fighting, and did not dare to break his true qi at all. In an instant, the two of them had already made three moves and twenty-four styles.
After all, Hou Zipeng is a master of the ninth section, and he is a master of Xiaogushan. Xiaogushan martial arts watched the sea and understood, gushing endlessly, and the power was huge. But with Hou Zipeng's cultivation, this kind of play that consumes true qi can't last long. Li Chengtang actually only used one move, and Hou Zipeng kept dancing the sword curtain to resist. It's like a monkey.
Li Chengtang saw that he was still dancing to himself, and he punched him with his left hand.
Suddenly, a figure in the distance was like lightning, and with a loud "bang", it collided with Li Chengtang's left fist. I saw Hou Zipeng and the figure quickly retreat and fly away, leaving a voice in the air.
"You can't get it in person, your own family teacher has no end to get it, and there will be a period in the future!"
Li Chengtang was afraid that this person would have a back hand, so he didn't chase after him. At this time, the people in the barracks rushed over when they heard the "whistle". Li Chengtang briefly told everyone about the situation, and when everyone saw a false alarm, they returned to the camp together.
In the tent, Li Chengtang, Qin Haotian, Ran Fei, Ran Jingjing, Ayiyi and General Liu Jinghao sat in a group. Ran Jingjing explained the reason in detail again.
"Since I found out that they have hidden strength, I know that they have bad intentions, and they are really thieves! I don't know who Shangguan Chi is. Ran Fei said indignantly. Shangguan Chi is his family's doorman with a knife.
"I don't think Shangguan Chi is like a bad guy, I'm afraid there is something else to hide." Liu Jinghao said.
Qin Haotian brushed his beard and thought about it: "Brother Li is armed with immortal weapons and artifacts, all of which are the treasures of martial arts, and the 'Dragon Sword' has the effect of improving cultivation and sharpening the way of the sword, if people in the martial arts know it, they will definitely snatch it crazily, although the little brother is not afraid, but I am afraid that they will secretly take it, and the little brother can't guard against it." ”
After a few days of pranayama and cultivation, Qin Haotian had already faintly comprehended the great use of the "Dragon Sword" while his true qi had improved. It is not only a magic weapon, but also a first-class master of the rivers and lakes, it has the wonder of "Ding Furnace".
Ran Fei said gloomily: "Speaking of snatching the rivers and lakes, I really didn't expect that Xiao Gushan had already set his sights on the Ran family, and this time it also affected Little Brother Li, and I didn't expect that the old guy was still alive!" ”
"That's Sa, that old guy is said to have died thirty years ago, I didn't expect to be alive, I'm afraid it's a little bigger than the old man, isn't he really an immortal now, if he makes a move, Brother Li will have to give birth better!" Qin Haotian said worriedly.
"Xiao Gu Mountain's 'Hidden in the End of the World' hides all the world's martial arts secrets, divine weapons, it is said that Lonely Boundless collects for his own personal gain, kills all the clans at every turn, and slaughters all the doors, which is notoriously ruthless and vicious, ruthless."
Ran Fei muttered in a low voice, he was worried about Li Chengtang at the same time, but also worried about the future of the Ran family. The martial arts he inherited learned from his generation, and his talents withered, and the supreme sword method "Flying Sword Duel" of this sect was lost for many years, and his ranking in the martial arts was not as good as before, so he wanted to go further and was not able to do it.
