Chapter 24: Years in the Mountains (2)
Two consecutive days of light rain, so that a bamboo forest next to Alchemy Lake covering an area of three or four acres of land overnight appeared countless sharp corners, the sun penetrated the thin clouds into the bamboo forest, and the crystal rain on the bamboo leaves slowly slid down the earth, constantly feeding the mushrooms after the rain.
The damp ground rises a layer of mist after being irradiated by the sun, in the thin mist, a ** upper body, a young man with long hair on his head is shuttling up and down in the forest, a sword as thin as a cicada's wings in his hand, with his flexible wrist constantly dancing, like a snake shuttling through the bamboo forest is very good-looking.
This young man is Jiang Qi, who is hiding in the mountains and practicing martial arts, and he has spent five spring and autumn seasons here since he was injured and left his hometown that year, and now when the spring flowers are blooming today.
Now Jiang Qi has faded away from the ignorance of his childhood, and has become a handsome young man, after several years of valve tendon forging bones, although he is only eleven years old, he looks like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, his height has exceeded seven feet, although his body does not look very strong after valve training, but the uneven muscles under the healthy complexion seem to continue to hide the power of a thousand catties.
Of course, this is also the case, Jiang Qi's strength has undergone a qualitative change now, and his arms can already open the five-stone bow three hundred times in a row, and he can easily lift a thousand catties of boulders.
As for the sword he practiced just now, he obtained it three years ago, in order to be able to freely control the sword as soft and light as silk, Jiang Qi practiced hard for three years, and now this seemingly light sword has been as fast as thunder and as sharp as a tiger in his dancing.
However, the most terrifying thing is that the sword is dancing rapidly, and it is impossible to see where the sword is at all, so Jiang Qi named the sword - a photo.
In order to make this sword powerful, his teacher Zuo Ci also used the tricks used to use the dust for many years to create a thirty-six style swordsmanship for him to practice.
After practicing the last style of swordsmanship, Jiang Qi returned the sword into the sheath, and the sword was accurately inserted into a small gap between the left waist, leaving only the hilt that could be held with one hand, the flat silver hilt, combined with the carved delicate lines buckled at the waist, like a small accessory, and it was impossible to see that there was a sword hidden in the waist.
After the swordsmanship, just as Jiang Qi turned to leave, a bamboo tree next to him slowly slipped down, looking at the neat cut one foot from the ground, Jiang Qi shook his head with a sigh, and said to himself: "It's still a little close."
Every morning after meditating, Jiang Qi would practice swordsmanship here for half an hour, and his habits had followed him for three years, from the beginning when he couldn't dance the sword moves continuously, to being able to shuttle freely, and then to today's only one bamboo, Jiang Qi spent almost three years.
Practicing swordsmanship is much harder than practicing fists and feet in the past, and the countless sword marks on his body are the best witness.
But fortunately, Jiang Qi has a master who is now called an old man, under his old man's continuous improvement of the medicinal soup, Jiang Qi in the essence of washing and cutting the essence has almost changed his skin, and now his skin recovery function is extremely fast, almost all the injuries on his body, after recovery, there are almost no traces if you don't look carefully, and even the serious scar on the chest at the beginning is now only a shallow mark.
If it weren't for this, I'm afraid that after three years of practice, Jiang Qi would have to have an extra criss-crossing map on his body.
Of course, after washing the tendons and bones, Jiang Qi not only recovered his skin quickly, but his bones were harder than before, even if he accidentally fell from a high place while practicing light exercises, he would not hurt his muscles and bones, and if there was no sharp object in the place where he fell, even the skin would not be broken.
After washing the muscles and bones, Jiang Qi's body now has no tendons and flesh left over from previous martial arts training, and his well-proportioned body looks more explosive, coupled with a healthy bronzed skin, which can be perfect.
Compared with the martial arts that are advancing day by day, the relationship between Jiang Qi and Zuo Ci's master and apprentice has not improved much, and it may be obvious that Jiang Qi no longer calls Zuo Ci an old man, but an old man, and Zuo Ci also gave Jiang Qi a Taoist name 'Yu Yang', which means 'famous around the world, famous all over the world'.
However, although there is an ordinary Taoist number, Jiang Qi doesn't think so, anyway, as long as it's not a Taoist number like Qingfeng and Mingyue, and he doesn't plan to be a Taoist priest.
Even if the Taoist robe is added every day, Jiang Qi still does his own thing, and he doesn't have the consciousness of a little Taoist priest at all, of course, Zuo Ci is also resigned, and everything is natural, this pair of strange masters and apprentices is also a unique living treasure among the people who re-cultivate the Tao in Tianzhu Mountain.
As the practice ended, Jiang Qi put on the white robe on the bluestone on the side, and finally put his index finger into his mouth and blew a sharp whistle.
After the whistle, a light sound of horses' hooves from far to near, and then a snow-white tall horse came out of the mountain, not waiting for the horse to approach, Jiang Qi jumped up close to the ground, and then stepped on several green bamboos in the air and accurately rode a BMW with an elegant horse.
Jumping on the horse's back and tapping the horse's belly, the psychic BMW neighed, and ran towards the grass house with smoke not far away.
Looking at the scenery that was constantly left behind him, riding a BMW that was running like the wind, Jiang Qi couldn't help but wonder, thinking about how arrogant this BMW that Zuo Lao Dao regarded as a treasure was chasing clouds, in order to tame it, he didn't suffer less, just falling off the horse's back almost broke his butt into eight petals.
However, compared to the physical injury in taming, in the face of chasing clouds every time he fell off his back, he raised his front hooves and screamed, this pain was nothing at all.
But what can be done, the winner and the loser Kou, in the face of humiliation Jiang Qi naturally will not endure, and it is such a person and a horse that will soon be called hard, of course, every time it ends with Jiang Qi falling half to death, the only good thing is that Jiang Qi's riding skills increase sharply every day, and the time spent on horseback is getting longer and longer.
Finally, half a year ago, after fighting with the clouds for nearly an hour, the exhausted chasing clouds in the prime of life were pressed to the ground by Jiang Qi, who was born with divine power, to end the struggle.
Under the riding of chasing clouds, in less than a stick of incense, he ran nearly five kilometers of mountain roads, looking at the grass house Jiang Qi in front of him lightly knocked the horse's belly, and the chasing clouds, who had already been connected with each other, began to slow down.
Seeing the opportunity, Jiang Qi's waist jumped up lightly, and then his left foot was a little horseback, and he crossed forward with the force, just had the style of falling, and his right foot borrowed from the horse's head again, which was like a dragonfly dotting the water and connected twice, and a Dapeng spread his wings Jiang Qi jumped out of several zhang.
When he fell again, Jiang Qi had already reached the handrail of the wooden staircase in the grass house, and as soon as he landed on the ground, Jiang Qi turned into a spirit monkey, only jumping twice in a row. The man had already gone up to the eaves of the cottage.
From beginning to end, the whole action was smooth without a single flaw, and he had long been accustomed to the movements of the little master, and chased the clouds leisurely back to his nest after Jiang Qi left his back.
In the grass house at this moment, Zuo Ci was sitting in front of the couch with an old Taoist who was also childish, playing black and white.
Compared with the appearance of Zuo Cixian's wind bones, the old Dao who was playing against him had a red rosacea nose on his face, although it was also very elegant, but it made people feel closer.
Seeing Jiang Qi's light landing, Zuo Ci, who was holding the chess piece, said disapprovingly: "With the help of the horse, I jumped out of less than six zhang, so I was complacent."
Jiang Qi looked at this master who was fighting all day long and smiled: "I said the old way, it's already very good, now I have five zhang jumping on the ground, are you as good as me when you are the same age as me?" β
"Hahaγγγ old man Zuo, you don't usually say that, who bragged in front of me all day long that he had a good apprentice, if you really don't like it, give it to me, anyway, I like it very much. Yu Yang, what do you think, you took my sword away, even if the meeting ceremony is good" Seeing the master and apprentice arguing, he took advantage of the old Tao with Zuo Ci to enter the Tao.
"Ahemγγγ gentleman doesn't take people's favor, Nanhua Lao Dao, you have a problem with your character! Just come to me every day to cheat and cheat, and you still want to cheat my apprentice, and besides, your sword was lost when you played against my apprentice, why do you have to regret it after three years! Regarding the matter of digging the foot of the wall, Zuo Ci coughed heavily and said mercilessly to his friend in front of him.
Of course, it was not someone else who was ruthlessly refuted by Zuo Ci, it was really the Nanhua Daoist who went out of the mountain with him to find Jiangxing.
"You old man, you just talk nonsense! That's how good the deity is to let Yu Yang, you think you have an apprentice! Back then, I also accepted a beloved apprentice in Jizhou, and I also passed on the Taiping technique, how it will be in the future, it is not necessarily γγγγ" For Zuo Ci's good luck, Nanhua only sighed in his heart, but he still looked at Zuo Ci's leisurely twist and beard meaningfully and said.
"What a trick! The old drunkard doesn't show me anything goodγγγ" Hearing that there was something important, Jiang Qi guessed what kind of good things it was, and immediately took the opportunity to come over and want to get some from Nanhua.
Regarding Jiang Qi's greed, Zuo Ci shook his head and knocked his head with a whisk and said: "Ahem, I've been practicing for three years, and I'm embarrassed to ask for other people's things. It's good for you, it's only just started after three years of learning in this door, and you can go to the other side doors to get started."
"What's the way, your old I Ching gossip and divination astrology make me dizzy, I don't think I have any talent for refining pills, if the refined pills eat people to death, it's not good?"
Jiang Qi had long been accustomed to the master's lamentation that he had not been doing for several years, and then he picked up the pill he carried with him: "Besides, what kind of pill are yours, the more I eat after three years, the thinner I get, I wonder if you are afraid that I will eat you poor, and put something in the pill." Although I have grown taller in three years, the original sturdy tiger's back and bear's waist have become the virtue that I have now, and I pity my family for three generations, if it is lost in the hands of the kid, alas, γγγγ"
"Hehe, you stinky boy, do you know how many people outside don't want to come to these pills, you are still not satisfied. Now is the time for you to build a foundation, don't control your physical condition well, and grow into a tiger's back and bear waist according to your previous rally, and set a reckless appearance. β
"Besides, my sect's cultivation is light, the body must be light, look at your current posture, coupled with your charming appearance, γγγγγ in the future, hehe" Regarding Jiang Qi's complaints, Zuo Ci scolded with a smile.
"Okay, okay, I can't say anything about you, anyway, if you can't find a daughter-in-law in the future, it's up to you" Jiang Qi smiled at the master's earnest teaching, but before he got angry, Jiang Qi hurriedly smeared oil on the soles of his feet and slipped into his room.
"Eh, Yu Yang, if you don't plan to come to my cottage with Old Man Zuo that day, I will teach you the immortal method, I have the art of immortalityγγγ" Nanhua looked at the two masters and apprentices with a smile on his face, and shouted with envy until finally he took advantage of the danger to Jiang Qi who ran away.
"Heyγγγ Nanhua old man, you old boy still have to dig the foot of the wall, don't come to me if that's the case, otherwise Yuyang will be pried away by you sooner or later, no, you have to leave something today" For Nanhua's shameless behavior, Zuo Ci was naturally dissatisfied, and even if he wanted to 'theorize'.
"What, it's really a master and an apprentice, your apprentice has stolen my sword, you still come, don't, don't, don't, this is the life-sustaining pill that I have been refining for nine hundred and eighty-one daysγγγγ old man Zuo, the deity has fought with youγγγγ"
