Chapter 123: Penance
Qin Hanchuan's red lips pursed and he smiled: "Is this timid?" ”
Seeing that Qiong Yi riveted his strength before carrying the bamboo basket, he said: "In addition to external forces, you can use all the methods you can think of." ”
After speaking, she set her eyes on Sheng Xuanyi's head, and before Sheng Xuanyi could sympathize with Qiong Yi, she realized that she was also in a catastrophe. "As for Xiao Xuan's resentment, I bought some shells at random, and you, you are responsible for smashing this stone shell with your Guimo Chop, and you can't miss a single one." She tossed a shell from the bag tied around her waist, it was no bigger than a thumb cap, and the color was not as eye-catching.
"Yesterday you practiced so badly that I can't help but come up with this method. Sheng Xuan, if you miss one, or if you don't break it with Fu Skill, you will carry Qiong Yi's basket of stones on your back and run around the mountain ten times. ”
Sheng Xuan said silently: "Run five laps." ”
"Fifteen laps."
"Seven and a half laps."
Qin Hanchuan narrowed his beautiful eyes, and he couldn't help bargaining: "Twenty circles." ”
Sheng Xuan repented: "Ten laps." ”
"It would have been nice to admit it earlier." Qin Hanchuan also beckoned to Qiong, and motioned to the two of them: "Let's start, I'll slow down." ”
Qiong also carried the bamboo basket on his back, was pressed so that he couldn't even straighten his waist, the stones in the basket themselves were not heavy, and after applying the weight gain spell, it was as heavy as a mountain, full of two or three hundred catties, the true qi in the dantian was running rapidly, and the footsteps were still very reluctant, when she raised her eyes to see Qin Hanchuan, she was already standing on a branch in the distance, and her voice spread far away in the dense forest: "Xiao Xuan, you can see the cut." ”
To catch up.
Qiong also silently read it a few times in her heart, put the bamboo basket on her back and carried two loads, and ran forward with difficult steps, one step at a time, she couldn't perform light skills in such a heavy situation, at first she could still run at a faster speed for a while, after a long time, her physical strength dropped sharply, and within half a cup of tea, Qin Hanchuan had disappeared from her field of vision, and she walked away with her, as well as Sheng Xuan, who kept jumping and waving his sword.
…… How can you catch up?
Qin Hanchuan's cultivation method was far more direct and rude than Qiong Yi imagined, different from the "use of strengths and avoid weaknesses" taught by Lu Bin in the past, but was facing her own shortcomings.
Qiong Yi gritted her teeth and ran for more than a quarter of an hour, she really couldn't hold it anymore, she took off the basket and rested for a while, her shoulders were strained by the thin strap, and the palms of the straps were also ground up with two red marks, she pressed the palms, fortunately there were no blisters, and she continued to rush forward with a heavy back basket on her back, and the dantian that turned into a breath was transmitting true qi to every inch of the meridians in the body, even if there was cultivation for the body, it was still extremely difficult to run forward.
In front of the dense forest that Qiong Yi was already invisible, Chengying was smeared with a dark blue light, and one after another sword qi hit the stone shells thrown by Qin Hanchuan, Sheng Xuan's breath was short, and several strong Qi endowed skills, and the true qi was quickly exhausted like a cloud dissipating from the mist, and the sister-in-law stepped on the leaves at the top of the tree and flew, the angle of the throw was extremely tricky, and the small shell pinched between her fingers flew out with her wrist in an instant, so fast that he couldn't see clearly at all, and he could only rely on the sound of the wind and intuition to judge.
She only said, "The third one missed." ”
After a piercing wind sound, Qin Hanchuan's voice sounded from above: "The fourth." ”
Sheng Xuan bit her lower lip resentfully, the ink blue on the shadow gradually faded, and she shouted again: "When the time for the skill is up, start it again!" Don't stop, swing your sword! ”
Taking a deep breath, the meridians tingled, Sheng Xuan resented and forcibly urged Guimo to slash, and the sword flashed with ink again, and with the change of body shape, under the sword qi, was the stone shell that was shattered into powder by him.
And then there was round and round and
Qiong also caught up with them an hour and a half later, in other words, it was Qin Hanchuan who took the initiative to stop and wait for her at the top of the mountain. She trembled with steps, jumped up the top of the mountain with a bamboo basket on her back, and unloaded the heavy objects unsupportively, "plopped" and knelt on the ground, and the back basket fell to the ground with a "bang", and smashed a hole in the ground. ”
Sheng Xuan's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, so he had to silently retract it, and Qiong Yi propped his hands on his knees, and it took a long time before he staggered and stood up.
Qin Hanchuan pointed to the back basket and complained to Sheng Xuan: "On the back, run seventy round trips along our road up the mountain." ”
Sheng Xuanyan walked behind Qiong Yi, picked up the bamboo basket, and asked her in a low voice, "Can you hold it?" ”
Qiong Yi smiled reluctantly: "Small problem......
Hearing her reply, he nodded, jumped up and flew down the mountain.
Qiong Yi watched him fly away in amazement, and Qin Hanchuan's pleasant voice sounded in his ears: "Are you surprised that he can do light work?" ”
Thumbs against the hot blisters in her palms, Qiong also sullenly responded, "Hmm." ”
Qin Hanchuan pulled her hands and applied medicine to the palm: "He has been required to go all the way with extremely strict standards since he was a child, the use of immortal dew spiritual materials, high-grade magic weapons, has long laid a good foundation before building the foundation, you don't have to forcibly compare with him." ”
Joan didn't speak.
"Little girl, it's really competitive." Qin Hanchuan smiled.
"Sister-in-law, Sheng Xuan hasn't had a day of leisure in the past, has he?" Qiong Yi's voice was very soft, and his eyes fell on the side where Sheng Xuan's resentment disappeared, and asked knowingly.
"yes, that's why he hates cultivation." Qin Hanchuan also followed her gaze: "If he hadn't met you, he would have stagnated." ”
*
In the next few days of practice, Qiong also went up the mountain with a weight, and changed from additional training to two round-trips with weights, and has gradually changed from an extremely difficult state to a state of extreme struggle, and when she is so tired that she can't do it, she will borrow strings to sing to support herself for a while.
She occasionally had a whim, thinking about whether she could use the wind condensation technique to support things, but the actual effect was not good, because the air flow she gathered was a wind that was constantly expanding outward, and it would bounce away the clinging thing, and she tried to control its form, but it didn't work for a day or two, when she bothered to try it on the seventh day, the wind shape really changed, the flowing wheal began to slow down, and the controllable distance began to expand, Qin Hanchuan saw this, and encouraged: "Yes, try to make it stand and solidify again." ”
Sheng Xuan's resentment was originally only able to maintain ten breaths of Sen Sen Ink Flow, but now it has been extended to nearly a hundred breaths, although the progress is great, but Qin Hanchuan is not satisfied, she said: "Let the 'Guimo' sword qi really become a part of your ordinary sword qi, Xuan Xuan, you should cultivate with this thought, instead of fooling me and fooling yourself." ”
On that day, Sheng Xuanren practiced word for a long time, with little effect, and then he didn't know where he went, and he didn't come back until dark.
Qiong Yi saw that the dinner left for him was gradually cooling, and looked at Qin Hanchuan a little overwhelmed, she was methodically wiping the tear sword: "Old problem, it's not strange." Go find him. ”
These days, Qiong has also experienced Qin Hanchuan's tolerant attitude towards him, but he is harsh to him, and he is a little dissatisfied in his heart, dissatisfied with being treated differently, and dissatisfied with her excessive reprimand for Sheng Xuan, but it is difficult to say anything, so he can only go to find him alone.
When Qiong also found Sheng Xuan's resentment, it was late at night, the moonlight was clear, the mountains and trees were swaying, he was guarding by a mountain spring, and the Chengying Sword was deeply inserted in the spring, and the sword light was cold.
Sheng Xuanyan saw her coming, his eyes showed a moment of panic, and he subconsciously turned his back, and felt that it was not a way to escape like this, and he was entangled in his heart, but he wanted to get closer to her, and called in a low voice: "Qiong Yi." ”
He was silent for a long time and said, "...... I'm sorry. ”
Qiong Yi didn't say anything, but walked to his side, opened his arms, and the corners of his eyes were slightly curved, revealing a shallow smile: "Hug it." ”
"It's not sad to hug it," she said. ”
Sheng Xuan was stunned, and raised his hand to hug her tightly.
Qiong also felt the wet and cool touch between his hair, sticking to his neck, a little disturbing, but she didn't hate it, she said: "I'm also a little tired, I came out for a walk, and I happened to bump into you." ”
Sheng Xuan knew that she was lying, no one who had been practicing penance all day would walk in the deep mountains and old forests in the middle of the night, his throat was a little tight, and he could only hum a sigh, Qiong also rubbed his hair, like bullying a cat who had been lost his soul, and rubbed his half-dried hair into a mess.
"I'm not good." He buried himself in her shoulder and said over and over again, "I'm not good ......"
“…… It's because I'm not good at cultivating. ”
Qiong also accompanied him over and over again: "Don't say that, I'm watching, you're very good, I've grown so much in the past few days, I've watched it......"
The moonlight gradually shifted, turning the overlapping figures of the two, the grass and insects chirping, Sheng Xuan finally let go of his hand, and kissed her lightly on the forehead, his expression had calmed down, and he no longer saw the gloom and loneliness of Fang Cai, he said, "Let's go back." ”
Qiong Yi took his hand and blinked: "Those words of Senior Qin, don't take them to heart." ”
"Hmm." Sheng Xuan nodded resentfully: "I don't care anymore." ”
He added, "It seems that at times like these, you always know what to do...... Comfort me. ”
Joan also smiled lightly, "Yes." ”
*
Since that day, Sheng Xuanyan has become more and more silent in his penance, and he has become more and more diligent, except for the evening when he and Qiong will be alone for a while, talking about some private conversations between the two, and the rest of the time is devoted to honing his sword skills.
After half a month of hard work and polishing, Sheng Xuanyan's control of his sword qi "returning to ink" state gradually changed from consuming a large amount of true qi to actively adjusting its consumption, duration and power, and blended with Sheng's Jichen swordsmanship, and finally succeeded in maintaining it for half an hour, and danced all the sword styles on the first layer of Jichen.
Qin Hanchuan didn't say anything, just bowed slightly.
Sheng Xuan didn't see it, but Qiong was also very close, and saw the satisfaction and relief in her eyes.
The days of following Qin Hanchuan's cultivation were very tired, and she was forced to the limit every time, and then crossed the limit, and in the process, Qiong Yi did not say a word of complaint.
As far as she is concerned, the bamboo basket that was overwhelmed at the beginning can no longer overwhelm her, and now she can carry it on her back half with light skills and half trotting, all the way to the top of the mountain, and her physical strength has increased a lot unconsciously, and the kung fu of true qi and transformation power has also been raised, and even the light power is a little better.
The range of the Wind Condensation Technique has also expanded from a radius of 100 meters to a radius of 1 mile, and it can slightly change the shape of the gathered air flow and turn into a wind wall, although it can be turned into a blade shape, but it has no sharp edges, and its lethality is not high. Qiong also realized that his skill may not be condensing the wind, but resisting the wind, because the level of cultivation is not enough, so he only let it be presented in the form of gathering wind and condensing the wind.
The days of penance did not pass day by day, Qin Hanchuan did not say how long he wanted to instruct them to cultivate, the two of them gradually sank down, and did not mention the end.
The end of this penance was due to the receipt of a letter from the two men.
A letter sent by Yan Tingshen and Qiong Yi before separating from Su and Yan.
It's a blood letter.
"The author has something to say:
The reason why Qiong was dissatisfied with the differential treatment was that she thought that since she and Sheng Xuanyan were practicing under Qin Hanchuan together, they should be treated equally. If he is lenient with himself and strict with Sheng Xuan, he will feel wronged for him, and secondly, he will feel that Qin Hanchuan attaches more importance to Sheng Xuan's resentment? It's also a sign of competitiveness.
In fact, Qin Hanchuan simply liked her more, and felt that Xiao Sheng's temperament had to be sharpened, "Anyway, there are people here who coax him, and they can coax him very well, I just do too much~" ...... That's probably what she thought."
