Chapter 41: The Battle
He An and Fan Dazhi had dinner in the dining hall, and as soon as they returned to their residence, two handymen knocked on the door and sent a brazier, and the cold dripping water in the room turned into ice, but after experiencing the bone-chilling cold of the confinement room, this winter was not too difficult for the two of them.
Fan Dazhi smiled and put the remaining half of the frozen roast chicken in the morning on the brazier, the charcoal in the basin was burning, and the fat dripping on it sizzled, and it was already hot after a while.
The basin was already frozen, He An poured out the broken ice, and was about to wash the bloodstained clothes that had been soaked for a day, Fan Dazhi puffed out his cheeks and handed He An a piece of hot chicken breast.
"Xiao An, you're going to compete tomorrow, let me do these trivial things, you go and concentrate on practicing." Fan Dazhi chewed the chicken in his mouth and said vaguely.
He An wiped his clothes with a pair of wet hands, took the piece of chicken, and a warm current surged in his heart, and the good brothers of Dazhi are becoming more and more sensible.
He went back to the side room and opened the window, it was dark outside, but the snow was clearly visible.
The heavy snow of the day finally stopped, and the nurseries, trees, and rockeries in the distance turned into branches and jade leaves, wrapped in silver, and the eyes were a white world.
The cold air was inhaled into his lungs, stimulating He An's mind was clear, and he played twice with the clouds, until his muscles and veins stretched his qi and blood and activated his blood, and sat cross-legged on the couch, the steaming heat on his body turned into curling white smoke.
He An silently ran the exercises, and after a while, the true qi accumulated in the lower abdomen Danji was surging like a flood that opened the floodgates, and at the same time, the heaven and earth vitality outside frantically gathered, pouring into his body from the window like a galactic outpouring out.
As expected, He Anxin was secretly happy, the domineering medicinal effect still continued, but this power seemed to be even more violent than yesterday, He An closed his eyes and carefully sensed his body, there was still some dull pain in the lower abdomen, and there was some stagnation between the operation of the exercises.
The master of the "Hedao Realm" is really terrifying, if Huang Daogong strikes with all his strength, I am afraid that he will be crippled if he does not die...... He sighed to himself, Dan Ji Nei's true qi was wandering around, and he began to show signs of disorder.
He An raised his hand to slowly guide the true qi in his body and infused his right arm...... Just like last night, the "Shocking Finger" came out, and a fierce energy shot out of the window, and where it passed, it seemed that the air had become a little distorted.
With a "click", a birch tree with the thickness of a small arm broke off at the waist and smashed on the ground, splashing a cloud of snow mist.
The strength of the fierce force continued unabated, and it sank into a tall cedar, and the pine branches trembled, and the snow covering it collapsed one after another, and fell with a pop......
He An was completely stunned, a little incredulous.
"Shocking finger", the power is terrifying!
He slowly incorporated the true qi into the Danji like last night, and at the same time as his body absorbed the vitality of heaven and earth, his left finger pointed to the center of his eyebrows, and his right hand changed his fingering, trying to perform the second form of "Astonishing Finger" - "Killing Immortal Finger"!
He had already been familiar with this secret book by heart, but unfortunately, no matter how much he urged his strength, the true qi infused in his arm would no longer stagnate when it reached the "Tianjing Acupoint".
"If you want to hurry, you can't reach it", He An deeply understands this truth, not to mention that the first form of "Amazing Finger" has gradually become proficient, so he reined in his mind and concentrated on absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth gathered above his head.
I don't know how long it took, He An heard the sound of "bang, bang" in the hall outside, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, Fan Dazhi hadn't seen him for a long time, could there be something wrong?
He An jumped out of bed and rushed to the hall, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he froze again.
I saw Fan Dazhi sitting on the Luohan chair, stretching out his hands and waving lightly in the air, sometimes making pressing and kneading movements, there was a big basin of water on the ground not far from him, the water in the basin was flowing, rippling, He An's clothes were floating in the water, rolling, and there seemed to be an invisible big hand rubbing it vigorously in the floating load.
The two fat hands in the void were shrouded in a hazy white brilliance, and He An keenly sensed that it was a condensed layer of heaven and earth vitality, thick enough to be close to the essence of heaven and earth vitality, extremely pure.
Fan Dazhi squinted his eyes slightly, not noticing He An's existence at all, and was having fun.
He drew circles with his palms together, and sang happily in his mouth: "Red sun, white clouds, mom laundry, I'll dry it, mugwort, mugwort, ......mugwort, mugwo
In the midst of his cheerful singing, the water in the basin spun rapidly, and the speed became faster and faster, gradually forming a whirlpool, and the clothes also swirled, but the water splashed but not a drop splashed on the ground...... He An saw clearly that the basin was also shrouded in a layer of misty brilliance.
"You...... You are...... Do you do laundry like this? He An couldn't help but laugh and asked out loud.
"Uh......" Fan Dazhi woke up, stopped his movements, scratched his head a little embarrassed and smiled: "This water ...... It's so cold, I have to do it, hehehehe! ”
"When did you practice this kung fu?" He An looked at the basin of water that was gradually regaining its calm and asked again.
"Alas...... I've been practicing for a long time, but I still can't transform my vitality, but ...... It's still possible to manipulate the Heaven and Earth Vitality! Fan Dazhi looked a little depressed when he said this, and his round fat face drooped.
"Oh! Do you still practice your consciousness every night? How far can you get out now? He An looked at Fan Dazhi's appearance and laughed in his heart.
"The consciousness is not fun, it is freezing now, and the streets are deserted at night...... I can now go up to the outside of our Zhixing Temple...... Suzaku Street is 30 zhang away, and how far is it...... Not really! Fan Dazhi said dejectedly.
He An pressed the shock in his heart, and said with a narrow smile on his face: "You have also explored the women's dormitory?" ”
"Consciousness flies...... Just simply skimmed over ......" Fan Dazhi's face turned red, and he continued to smile: "Really...... There seemed to be some prohibition around the house of the woman's bedroom, and I couldn't see anything clearly when my mind swept over, and when I looked inside, I was inexplicably blocked...... Our Zhixing Academy is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Xiao An, do you think it will be the formation of that master? ”
He An smiled dumbly, this brother is obviously extremely talented, but he just likes to play, his divine sense probes the women's bedroom, and he manipulates the vitality to wash clothes, and he can come up with it.
He An didn't know what to say, and for a while, he just patted Fan Dazhi's shoulder gently.
"Brother, one day, you will be famous all over the world!"
On the morning of the second day, until the first class, Han Chanjuan still did not appear, He An looked at the empty seat from time to time, and was a little worried, she was tired of being chased and killed that night, and then her life was hanging by a thread all the time, could she have suffered internal injuries? Or sick?
He An spent the morning in a cranky thought, and when he walked out of the school building after the school bell rang, he found that the thick snow on the road had been cleared by the handymen, and there was a pile of snow like a hill under the trees in the corner.
The sun peeks out of the clouds, the sun shines on the body, there is no trace of warmth, the winter snow is clear, and the air is cold.
At ten o'clock at noon, when it was time for the agreed martial arts competition, Gu Qingzhou, Fan Dazhi and a group of male students in the school surrounded He An and rushed to the martial arts hall.
As soon as he walked to the door, he happened to meet Cui Mengshu and other people, Sun Biao was still wearing a wide robe to cover his face, and he walked among the crowd with his arms crossed, and he just glanced coldly when he saw He An and the others.
The two groups of people looked at each other with angry eyebrows, no one spoke, and each walked into the martial arts hall.
The martial arts hall is very spacious, and there is a red vertical flag hanging on the wall in the center, which reads "stop fighting for martial arts" four golden characters, and it is a ladder and high platform, and several chairs are placed on it.
In the center of the hall directly opposite the high platform is a jousting ring made of wood, surrounded by wooden stakes and ropes around the ring, and colorful pennants and small bells are hung on it, and it is not known what it is used for.
The Zhiwu Hall is crowded with students who came to see the excitement at the moment, the buzzing is very lively, everyone is discussing today's competition, there has been no battle between the students of Zhixing Academy for a long time, the weather is cold and snowy outside, I heard that there is a lively scene in the Zhiwu Hall to see, and even many female students have followed.
He An and the others squeezed into the crowd, and there was a sudden commotion in the hall, and then it quieted down, and the crowd automatically separated into an aisle like a tide, only to see Feng Shaotang, Zou Zheng, Qiu Qingxi, and another gray-haired teacher slowly walking up to the high platform and sitting on the chairs in turn.
The gray-haired teacher stood up, coughed lightly, and said in a loud voice, "Everyone...... Be quiet, please! ”
The buzz in the hall paused, and everyone looked towards the high platform in unison.
"The old man is Xu Kangnian, the chief of Zhiwutang, and he is also the judge of this competition, and He An, a student from Chuzhou Mansion, has an appointment with Sun Biao, a student from Jingzhou County, to compete in martial arts, and the rules of the competition between the two sides are known, and the "War Book" takes effect!" He paused and raised his voice and shouted, "Enter the ring!"
In the cheers of everyone in the hall, Sun Biao took the lead in flying and jumping into the ring, he pulled away the wide robe that covered his face, revealing a fierce face, and hugged his fists to signal around.
The ring was about seven or eight feet high, and Sun Biao deliberately tossed a few times in the air when he jumped up, causing the audience to applaud.
The crowd of onlookers looked at He An, and the people nearby consciously retreated to make way for him, Fan Dazhi came to He An and pulled his sleeve and whispered: "Xiao An, be careful!"
He An nodded, dusted off his chest and shirt, walked to the edge of the ring, lifted his breath and jumped up, his toes were a little on the thick wooden stake of the ring, and the person was already standing firmly in the center of the ring.
The audience burst into sparse applause......
He An didn't care, first bowed to several teachers on the high platform, and then learned Sun Biao's hands to clench his fists and gesture around.
"Good! Both sides retreated...... The joust begins! Feng Nandi shouted loudly, and as his voice fell, the colorful flags on the ropes around the ring fluttered and the bells jingled.
He An stood in the corner of the ring, lowered his eyes, he could feel the fluctuation of the colorful flags and bells around the ring, they seemed to have been blessed by some mysterious power, but after a while, everything was silent, and the entire martial arts hall was silent.
"Hi ......"
Sun Biao shot first.
He took two steps forward, twisted his body, and the soles of his shoes rubbed against the floor, making a screeching sonic boom, and slapped his palm at He An in the corner.
The power of this palm is amazing, and before the palm arrives, He An's cheeks are painful.
He An's pupils constricted.
The jet-black palm faintly shimmered with metallic brilliance, and the wind slapped fiercely.
When He An was not allowed to make a move, he flashed sideways, and Sun Biao's palm slapped on the stake, and the sawdust flew one after another.
In the exclamation of everyone in the audience, He An sank his shoulders, raised his elbows, and "scattered with the clouds" attacked Sun Biao's shoulders and armpits.
"Bang bang" twice, He An punched and slapped Sun Biao's body, like a defeat, the other party didn't care at all, and the bullying was another palm.
He An's body quickly retreated, and at the same time, he turned his palm into a knife and slashed at Sun Biao's neck.
Between the lightning and flint, the two of them flickered and moved, and dismantled more than a dozen moves, but they were on par.
Sitting on the high platform, Feng Shaotang said softly: "Old Xu...... Look at these two young people, which one will win? ”
