Flying Snow and Smoke and Rain Chapter 39: Old Things (II)
Jiangnan Ninghuai River Bank
Qinglian immediately stretched out a hand, only to see that the internal force condensed in her hand, forming several flying needles, and with a wave of her hand, the flying needles flew violently towards the Ninghuai River, stirring up a huge wave.
This hand gathered qi into a needle really made Yun Musheng dumbfounded, and it was right, even if the flying needle was small, but it was impossible to hide so much on a woman alone, and the dense needle rain like the starry sky that night in Haojie Tomb may have been mostly made of Qinglian gathering qi.
And isn't this martial art of gathering qi into a needle exactly the same as the second realm of swordsmanship?
Yun Musheng suddenly became interested, so that he could not only get close to the Debate Division, but also improve his swordsmanship with Qinglian's imperial acupuncture technique, which could be described as killing two birds with one stone.
It's just a little curious, this defense division doesn't have much intersection with him on weekdays, and even he once obstructed the defense department's action to destroy the Tsing Yi sword, even if the relationship with them is not hostile, at least it can't be considered friendly, how could Qinglian from the defense division suddenly come to teach her martial arts?
"Why are you showing me this?"
Yun Musheng asked defensively. Qinglian smiled again and said:
"My little master is the head of the Jiangnan Debate Division, with the responsibility of maintaining the stability and prosperity of Jiangnan, the young man only a few days ago and Yanyulou together to exterminate the crocodile gang that has been making waves around Yizhou for many years, coupled with the propaganda of Yanyulou, now the people of Yizhou know that you are a big hero, but I hurt you, if this spreads, it is not conducive to the defense and punishment division to gain a foothold in Jiangnan, I heard that you want to improve martial arts, my little master ordered me to teach you martial arts to make peace with you."
Yun Musheng was a little skeptical after hearing this, although this statement was not unreasonable, it was far-fetched after all, but no matter what the purpose of the defense and punishment department was, this was undoubtedly a great opportunity, so he nodded and responded to that Qinglian.
Seeing that Yun Musheng agreed, Qinglian suddenly showed a satisfied expression on her face, and suddenly felt that the little brother in front of her was still a little cute, and couldn't help but knead Yun Musheng's face:
"At noon two days later, you can come to the Judicial Division and say the words 'Listen to the rain' to the guards at the door, if you are not at ease, you can bring your little girl who is older than you with you." After saying that, he disappeared into the night.
Jiangnan Yijian Inn
A rooster crow reported that the day had just dawned, and a ray of warm sun shone on the world, Hua Wuming stretched his waist, and suddenly remembered that he had to go to the Criminal Division to find out what was going on, and turned around to call Yun Musheng who was on the bed, but saw that he was still asleep at the moment, so he hurriedly silenced.
After a night's sleep, Hua Wuming's mind gradually sobered up, not as out of shape as yesterday, remembering that Yun Musheng spent a lot of internal strength to save his sister Hua Xiaoqi a few days ago, and he no longer disturbed his rest.
When Yun Musheng woke up, it was already noon, and he saw that the Hua sisters and brothers were sitting quietly at the desk in their room, one was reading, and the other was looking at the bronze mirror in his hand.
It feels like it's been a long time since I've seen such a peaceful scene, and it would be nice to be able to be so leisurely on an ordinary day.
Yun Musheng thought so, but was interrupted by Hua Xiaoqi's strange voice: "Huh, little brother lazy worm, I only woke up when the sun dried my buttocks, and the slave family thought you were dead." ”
Although the tone was still so creepy, this time Yun Musheng was not so disgusted, Hua Xiaoqi, whose demeanor was restored to the same state, made Yun Musheng feel more cordial, but Hua Xiaoqi, who was so serious when he questioned the owner of Ye Lou in Yanyu Building, was even more terrifying.
At lunchtime, Yun Musheng told the Hua brothers and sisters in detail about seeing Qinglian last night, although Hua Wuming also felt a little strange after listening to it, but the defense division was also a place where they had to go.
Hua Xiaoqi thought about it for a while, and finally decided to go with Yun Musheng, but this operation was only her and Yun Musheng, and Hua Wuming was not good at martial arts, so she was not allowed to follow.
Although Hua Wuming refused in every way, Hua Xiaoqi said that he would not let his younger brother take risks, so Hua Wuming had no choice but to give up.
Jiangnan Criminal Division
Two days later, at noon, Yun Musheng and Hua Xiaoqi came to the gate of the Defenses Division, which is magnificent, even if the door is closed, you can see the Qionglou Yuyu behind the door, and there is a plaque above the building that reads "Looking at the Sun".
The two strong guards in front of the door immediately stepped forward to stop them when they saw the two, and Yun Musheng said the words "listen to the rain in the guard's ear" according to what Qinglian said at that time.
Then the main door opened, and the two walked in, just entering the door, but they were surrounded by several black-clothed rain attendants who suddenly flashed out, this group of people did not have any hostility, but just blindfolded the two of them, and then went all the way down the steps, as if they were taken to a place similar to an underground dark room.
The rain attendant took off the blindfolds of the two people, only to see that there was only a dark passage ahead, and the next step was for the two of them to move forward on their own. The two walked next to each other and forward, and the road was very narrow at first, and only then did it lead to people.
This underground and the above air is really very different, it seems gloomy and dark, and it is dozens of steps back, suddenly I saw a dilapidated small door, next to the door a tattered plaque crawling with moss and weeds leaning against the corner of the wall, on which the words "condensation and listening to the rain" can be vaguely recognized.
"Looking at the sun, listening to the rain, under the appearance of the Justification Division presiding over justice and maintaining Jiangnan, there is still such a dark and hidden place, which is considered exquisite gray?"
Yun Musheng looked at the shabby plaque and teased, then walked into the small door with Hua Xiaoqi, but he didn't expect the space behind the door to suddenly open up, the stone slab land was flat, and there were multiple passages leading to different spaces.
Above the passage, the place where it leads is written, there are cells, interrogation rooms, practice dojos, and case databases... The silence around was unusual, and from time to time several black-clothed rain attendants passed by, but they were also silent.
And Qinglian was standing in front of the passage leading to the practice dojo waiting for the two of them, and just as the two of them stepped forward, Qinglian stopped Hua Xiaoqi on the side: "Swordsmanship practice needs to be single-minded, others please wait in the hall." ”
Yun Musheng and Hua Xiaoqi glanced at each other, and the two nodded and parted here.
Yun Musheng followed him to the underground dojo, which was a wider place than when he entered the door, surrounded by eighteen kinds of weapons, and the walls were reinforced with bronze, which was very solid.
"Please ask the seniors for advice." Although there had been friction with Qinglian before, whenever it was time to practice martial arts, Yun Musheng was always very humble, clasping his hands into fists like Qinglian and bowing.
Qinglian was amused by Yun Musheng's sudden respectful laughter, and then cleared her throat, and also switched to the appearance of a teacher, and said seriously:
"Whether it is the art of the object or the formation of the body, the fundamental thing is to be able to master the method of gathering the qi, if you want to control the object, you will gather the energy on the object, and then connect your own internal force with the object you are guarding, as for the transformation is relatively complex, you need to clearly imagine the appearance of the object, and then gather it with internal force, I will only demonstrate it once, you are optimistic."
As soon as the words fell, Qinglian condensed her internal breath, and countless flying needles condensed with qi appeared in front of Yun Musheng's eyes again, last time because the two sides were fighting, they didn't see it clearly, this time they looked closely, only to find that the degree of control of the internal force was extremely high, which was enough to make Yun Musheng dumbfounded.
Yun Musheng saw the light in his eyes, and he added a little admiration to Qinglian, who was still teasing last time, and the sister in front of him, who was more than ten years older than himself, had already cultivated the art of imperial objects to such a realm, so he asked excitedly:
"In this way, if I can skillfully gather the internal force into the appearance of a sword, I can be regarded as reaching the realm of having no sword in my hand and a sword in my heart?"
"No, it has nothing to do with it."
Qinglian's sudden bucket of cold water poured Yun Musheng was caught off guard, Yun Musheng looked at Qinglian with a puzzled face, but it was not what Qinglian said that night... Is it fooling yourself?
Qinglian paused slightly when she looked at Yun Musheng's disappointed appearance, and continued:
"Don't be in a hurry to be discouraged, although the ordinary imperial art has nothing to do with the second level of swordsmanship, but Zhongli imperial art is closely related to it, martial arts moves are just forms, some need to practice qi, some need to practice the body, and if you want to improve the realm of martial arts and cross the limit to the next level, it is the heart that cultivates."
