Chapter Eighty-Three: The Secret of Snake Island
The kite was huge, Gu Shengchao lay on it and was uneasy, and when he came to the sky above Snake Island, he was sincerely afraid, and that inexplicable surprise and panic were intertwined in his heart.
He was shocked to find that Snake Island was like a giant lying on its back, with its head, body, arms, and legs.
The kite carried Gu Shengchao over the belly of the "giant", and the streams were clearly recognizable. From a bird's-eye view from above, the streams are clearly the meridians on the "giant", clearly telling the people above that the direction of each meridian and the connection between the meridians.
Gu Shengchao didn't dare to be careless, and carefully wrote down everything he saw.
The wind swept by, and the big kite moved with the current, slowly crossing Snake Island, and finally landing on the river on the other side of Snake Island.
Wan Ruo was worried about Gu Shengchao's safety, so he led many disciples to bypass Snake Island and come to the river to watch nervously, but he was relieved to see that he was swimming in the river.
After going ashore, he didn't bother to wipe his body, and he was wearing a wet robe, Gu Shengchao and Wu Jun asked for pen and ink, and simply depicted the scene he observed on a piece of paper, and it was also a surprise if he saw it.
"I didn't look carefully at a lot of places, and I also had a kite, just to try it at the end." Gu Shengchao pointed to the picture on the road.
Knowing what happened, Wan Ruo immediately refused: "No, what if you get hurt, anyway, there is enough time, we can go to Snake Island to check slowly." She turned to her disciples and shouted, "Go back, we don't need kites, you can dispose of them as you please." ”
The disciples received the order and drove back under the leadership of Wu Jun and Yu Ji. After a while, Gu Shengchao and Wan Ruo saw the kite rise high and go away amid the cheers of the disciples.
There was no one around, Gu Shengchao went to the hut on Chijin Mountain to change his clean clothes, and if he was naked, he smeared the medicinal mud, and the two of them set foot on Snake Island again.
This time with directions, the two focused on observing the direction of each stream, marking them one by one on paper. It took them three days to figure out where all the springs started and where they flowed.
Back in the wooden house of Chijin Mountain, the two posted the drawn drawings on the wall, and sat side by side to carefully study them.
Gu Shengchao looked at it, and the true qi in the meridians inadvertently began to run according to the diagram shown, and the more he practiced, the more surprised he became, where is the secret of the Feng Wu Sword Technique, which is clearly the core mystery of the Five Souls Array. The way True Qi traveled in the meridians was exactly the same as the Five Soul Array that Lu Chuan had taught him.
Noticing the change in Gu Shengchao's expression, seeing that he was sometimes relieved and sometimes surprised, Wan Ruo thought that he was going crazy, and lightly touched it and said worriedly: "Xianggong, you are fine!" ”
Gu Shengchao shook his head: "I'm fine, we're not the first to discover this secret." ”
"What, who else could there be?" If they didn't believe it, how could anyone know the secret they had worked so hard to get by accident.
Gu Shengchao told her: "It's Lu Chuan's senior, and he is earlier than we all need to know." ”
"Brother Lu, what credentials do you have?" Wan Ruo couldn't believe that Lu Chuan had left the Valley of the Four Kings more than twenty years ago and never returned, which made her absolutely incomprehensible.
With the Five Soul Array's mental method and mantra in mind, he told Wan Ruo word by word, and finally said: "I suddenly understood just now that Senior Lu should have discovered this secret very early, and then he realized it when he was healing in the valley under the Seven Star Cliff, and only then did he create the Five Soul Array based on this secret. In this way, I met the woman in black on the boat on Luoxian Lake in the capital, and I didn't trap her with the Five Soul Array, it should be that the Phoenix Dance Sword Technique and the Phoenix Sword Technique are originally of the same origin, and if the woman is really a faction of the Phoenix Sword Technique, it is easier to understand that the Five Souls Array can be resolved. ”
Wan Ruo pondered for a moment and said with admiration: "You are right, Brother Lu Chuan's views on martial arts are originally unique, and he must be suspicious when he sees the strange appearance of springs and streams when he collects medicine on Snake Island. Let's work hard to toss like this to understand, it is estimated that Brother Lu has long been confident, and he can find these things by walking around. ”
At that moment, Wan Ruo will practice the Five Souls Array.
Gu Shengyue admired her understanding, racked his brains, and later taught him the skills in the capital Lu Chuan by hand, and Wan Ruo easily mastered them all.
Practice is rising, Wan Ruo waved the sword in his left hand, the figure and the sword shadow fused into one, and the phoenix dance swordsmanship made the furnace perfect. Gu Shengchao was stunned, he had never seen someone so skilled in swordsmanship. After finishing her set of swordsmanship, she slashed at the big tree in front of her, and the big tree immediately dislocated from the middle, and the upper part slipped down and fell to the side.
"This, this, how did you do it?" Gu Shengchao's eyes widened and he looked at her incredulously.
Retracting the sword, Wan Ruoyun said lightly: "I just learned, the set of internal strength and mental methods on Snake Island can not only be used in the Five Souls Array, but also in terms of swordsmanship and palm skills, it depends on whether your talent and Huigen are this material." ”
"But I don't seem to be in touch yet." Gu Shengchao scratched his head, a little regretful.
Holding Gu Shengchao's hand, Wan Ruo stared at him dotingly, and said indifferently: "What are you afraid of, your lady I will, are you still afraid?" ”
Gu Shengchao was happy: "Teach me quickly." ”
With a roll of his eyes, Wan Ruo said charmingly: "If you want me to teach you simple, you have to satisfy me first." ”
"Can you do it another way?" Gu Shengchao discussed.
"Nope." She saw that Gu Shengchao was about to run, and now she used the Five Soul Array to trap him, and stepped forward to push him down and rode up......
Chijin Mountain stayed for a few days, the two of them integrated the Five Soul Array and the Phoenix Dance Sword Technique, and the Nine Heavens Biluo Palm was even more sophisticated, and under Wan Ruo's point, Gu Shengchao finally understood a truth.
Kung Fu is dead, but man is alive.
In Gu Shengchao's cognition, all martial arts moves must be completed meticulously in strict accordance with the mental method and mantra, such as the Five Soul Array, when Lu Chuan planted five swords in his dantian, it was because the dantian was destroyed and the sword array was used to nourish the true qi. Later, his dantian had been repaired, and the capital told him the final use of the Five Soul Array, so he stubbornly moved it and didn't dare to let the five swords come out again.
When he saw Wan Ruo apply the Five Soul Array as he wanted, he realized that the sword array in the dantian had long since lost its original effect, and it could be taken out for other purposes.
There is also the Feng Wu Sword Technique, he only knows how to copy the mantras in the Luocrow Bay Cave to practice, who would have expected that Wan Ruo would have already mixed her own mental method to apply. With the discovery on Snake Island, it is immediately innovative and exerted, and the actual power is much higher than that of Gu Shengchao.
Gu Shengchao thought of the fact that there are many people who seek the Phoenix Sword Technique, why only the Beihu Three Demons faction has developed a strong perception, the reason is that the same content, different people use different methods, and they can derive completely different things.
Wan Ruo reminded him: "I have a lot of disciples, why do you only value Wu Jun and Yu Ji? ”
"They are obedient and please you!" Gu Shengchao said without thinking.
"Wrong." Wan Ruo corrected his erroneous view, "I started treating everyone equally, but later I found that when I taught the same thing, and others were still confused, these two people were the first to understand. It's the same with the assignment on weekdays, some disciples have to get by and live a chaotic life, and some disciples work hard but always have difficulties and need to be taught by hand to barely complete it, these two people can immediately understand my intentions without much effort, and they are more thoughtful. ”
Looking at Gu Shengchao's eyes became resolute, Wan Ruo was like a big sister and taught respectfully: "The gap between people and people is like this, some seem to be almost the same, and some are actually different from each other, it depends on how you tell the difference." ”
On the way back, Gu Shengchao asked: "We have made a lot of trouble on Snake Island, and now there must be rumors in the valley, how should we tell the valley lord when we go back." ”
Wan Ruo said without hesitation: "Just tell the truth, but it is only limited to the three chapters of the Phoenix Dance Sword Technique and the spring water and the direction of the stream that you see on Snake Island, and the rest depends on their creation, and it is not in our obligation." ”
She was afraid that Gu Shengchao would not understand, so she explained: "For a smart person like Brother Lu Chuan, you can understand without saying much; But for some stupid people, you just give everything you think, think, and get with both hands, and the other party will not appreciate it, and abandon it like a shoe, and finally make a wedding dress for others, which is not worth it. ”
Back in the Valley of the Four Kings, they didn't go home to rest, and went directly to find the valley owner Qiu Xiao Yuming's discovery on Snake Island. Qiu Xiao listened to the two of them calmly, showing the calmness and wisdom that a leader should have, and he immediately ordered to send a pair of men and horses to block the entry and exit of Snake Island, and did not allow the medicine farmers to go to Snake Island to catch poisonous snakes to refine medicinal materials, so as to prevent the scene from being destroyed by evil people with evil intentions.
The valley lord Qiu Xiao then assigned the two of them a task, and recently there were many unknown strangers in the town outside, so they were stationed in the town for a period of time to deter those outsiders with bad intentions.
After that, he handed Gu Shengchao a jade pendant: "This is a certificate exclusive to you, with this one, even if the guards don't know you when entering and leaving the Valley of the Four Kings, you can pass freely." ”
Gu Shengchao took it carefully with both hands, and there were complicated patterns on the jade pendant, with the word "super" in the middle. He instantly understood why Lu Chuan also had such a jade pendant, which was the proof that they belonged to the Valley of the Four Kings.
Gu Shengchao came to the Valley of the Four Kings to perform his first mission, and he was extremely happy, and he accompanied Wan Ruo out of the valley in a small boat that day.
After going ashore, Gu Shengchao looked at the road again, and only then did he notice that although the cave at the entrance was hidden, the whole was in a herringbone shape extending to both sides, and blindly climbing over the dangerous peaks above could only get farther and farther away from the valley, no wonder he couldn't find it that day.
The river water was clear and flowing, Wan Ruo held Gu Shengchao's arm, and the two walked down on the pebbles on the bank of the river.
Gu Shengchao asked uneasily: "The valley lord sent people to block Snake Island, will they be like us, and they will also fly to the sky as kites to check." ”
After thinking about it for a while, Wan Ruo shook his head and said, "Impossible, as far as I know, no one in the Valley of the Four Kings can enter and exit Snake Island as freely as you, and you have to be naked, smeared with medicinal mud before you can go up." If you rush up, you will inevitably die. I guess the valley lord must check it himself, let them go, anyway, what we say is the truth, unless they are lucky enough to make new discoveries. ”
"Is it possible? We've been to every corner of Snake Island. Gu Shengchao didn't believe that others could make new discoveries.
The breeze blows across the river, the water ripples, and the mountains and trees are reflected in the water, blending in with the mountains on the shore, making it even more towering and majestic.
"It's really hard to say, who knows if it's going to hide something in the dense bushes." Wan Ruo seems to have great expectations for Snake Island.
