Volume 1 Shenyue Continent Chapter 8 Condensed Sword Duel, Treading Snow Without a Trace
In addition to carrying water, Liucheng will always pick some fruits in the orchard to make fruit wine to drink, especially wine, made out of the flavor and fragrance, he has to drink a little every day, but he is reluctant to drink it all, once his master saw it, he was even more delighted, because he loved to drink more, he took all the wine he made, no way, Liucheng had to quietly soak a pot again. Tonight's night is very beautiful, Liu Cheng sat in front of the window, stroking the little pale yellow gourd in his hand, and looked at the moon blankly, taking a sip from time to time, he seemed to be a little homesick, missing his lovely sister.
"I haven't slept yet, isn't the apprentice homesick", hearing the master's voice, Liu Cheng's distracted thoughts were pulled back, and I don't know when Li Qingshui was already standing at the door
"Hello master, the disciple just sighed a little that time flies so fast, master sit down, that. The fruit wine is not available for the time being, and it has not been done yet" After speaking, Liu Cheng poured Li Qingshui a cup of tea. "Look at how your master will beg you for wine every day, I'm just coming to see you, don't always sigh this and sigh when you're young" Li Qingshui smiled a little embarrassed, in fact, he loved this sensible apprentice very much, "How about it, this has been good for half a year, I won't blame the master."
"No, master, there must be a truth in what the master asks, and it takes half a year to help the disciple be recorded as an outer disciple, which is really a great favor that cannot be repaid", Li Qingshui smiled knowingly, "Well, very good, you don't have to carry water from tomorrow onwards, I have other things to arrange for you, as for what I will tell you tomorrow", Liu Cheng couldn't sleep this night.
The next morning, under Liu Cheng's expectant gaze, Li Qingshui took him to an open place, there were several wooden stakes on the ground, there was a tumbler slightly shorter than him, and a few bows and arrows were placed next to him, but obviously this bow and arrow was much larger than ordinary bows and arrows, "Your daily task is to stand on a wooden stake with one foot, beat the tumbler, and practice bows and arrows"
Liu Cheng looked at this and swore and said, "Master, don't dare to say anything else, I'm good at this bow and arrow."
"Oh yes, then you can try it" , Liu Cheng didn't say much, picked up the bow and arrow on the ground, when he pulled the bowstring, he knew how much strength the bow needed, and used all his strength The beads of sweat on both sideburns came out, but it was not full, and the arrow shot out stopped at half a distance from the arrow target, the air was slightly embarrassed, Li Qingshui didn't say anything, took another bow and arrow on the ground, in Liu Cheng's surprised gaze, his master actually took out a piece of cloth from his arms and blindfolded his eyes, then turned around, pulled the bowstring with both hands easily, and the action was done in one go, and the arrow flew out and hit the center of the arrow target, "Practice hard, apprentice" Before Liu Cheng came back to his senses, Li Qingshui left, Liu Cheng didn't say anything, but he admired his master a little more in his heart, and said secretly, "One day I will be like this"
Liu Cheng has been practicing hard again, but he doesn't have to help with things in the sect like other outer disciples, whenever he has time, he will go to the practice room to see, whenever those people dance knives and guns, he is itching, but he always warns himself that what his master has said, he can only achieve great things by enduring what others can't bear.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is half a year, during which he received a letter from home, saying that everything is fine at home, there is no need to worry, and he also reported his safety to his family, saying that the master was very good to him. In this way, Liu Cheng lived a fairly comfortable life, and he also got along well with the two senior brothers. His archery skills are almost complete, but he has not yet reached the realm of blindfolding, and as for tumblers and one-legged stakes, he can also be said to be at ease, and he feels that his hands and feet are full of strength at all times.
That night, Liu Cheng was stunned in front of the window for a while as usual, he suddenly picked up the sword that his second brother gave him, it still looked so unpretentious, pulled out the scabbard, and learned that he saw those disciples dancing like that in the practice room, although the movements were not very smooth, but he could also feel the sword and sword with the wind, as if it was different from the original look that looked weak and couldn't help the wind, Liu Cheng's face was a lot more resolute, more manly, just when he was tired of dancing and wanted to rest, his master staggered in, it seemed that he was a little drunk, some unstable, and there was no usual chic appearance at all, Liu Cheng hurriedly helped him in, "This wine is not good, it is not good, it is easy to get drunk, get me some fruit wine quickly", hearing this, Liu Cheng quickly brought a bottle from the corner, Li Qingshui took the bottle and drank more than half of it in one go, and called it comfortable, "Master, what is not happy, drink so much", Li Qingshui did not speak, and only said after a while, "It's nothing, the master only has one thing to be unhappy, unhappy, you must not know", " Do you want to hear the master's story, I don't tell him in ordinary people, do you want to know?"
"Say it, master, maybe the apprentice can help the master solve problems", Li Qingshui looked at Liu Cheng and said with a bitter smile,
"You can't help, it's about your master" Liu Cheng didn't answer, Li Qingshui continued, "Actually, your master and I used to be an immortal cultivator, and we have reached the realm of the early stage of foundation building. "What master is an immortal cultivator" Hearing this, Liu Cheng was extremely shocked, he didn't know that others were clear, but in his worldview, immortal cultivators were just a legend, and it was said that immortal cultivators could control all things, could travel thousands of miles, and could survive without dying, with monstrous mana.
"Don't you don't believe it, most people know about immortal cultivators, it's just that your place is relatively remote, I don't know, I think I was also an ignorant teenager like you, I thought I had a little martial arts and thought I couldn't do it, I learned by chance that I had the existence of an innate spiritual root, and it happened that a person called the Huixian faction came to Shenyue Prefecture to recruit disciples, and I became one of them, I and your master met in the Huixian faction, at that time, although your master was not talented, but she was also full of aura and lovely, her name was Xu Xiaorou, and I fell in love with him at first sight"Speaking of this, Li Qingshui couldn't hold back the smile on his face," At the beginning, your master was still unwilling, but under my crazy pursuit, your master still obeyed me, we practiced together, picked fairy fruits together, participated in the sect trials together, chatted so unhappy, I felt that we would never be separated in this life, but the good times did not last long The second year we were together, an evil sect called the Demon Moon Sect attacked the Huixian faction, and the sectarian dispute really existed everywhere, tens of thousands of immortal cultivators fell on the spot, and the corpses were all over the field, although the Huixian faction had a few elders in the settlement period, but it was still not their opponent, I was also hit by one of their masters in the late stage of foundation building, but I was proud of a piece of armor treasure of my master, and escaped by luck,When I woke up in a barren mountain,,I found that although I got my life,But Yuan Dan collapsed and I couldn't cultivate immortals anymore.,I don't know what happened to your master.,Hey.。。 ”
Hearing this, Liu Cheng couldn't calm down for a long time, thinking that he was just a frog at the bottom of a well, and he didn't know anything about the world, "Master, didn't you want to go over to find Shiniang", "How could I not want to, but I can't enter their place of cultivating immortals at all now, ordinary people can't even sense their place, and the difference between immortals and mortals is mainly the difference between having and not having spiritual roots, and only with innate spiritual roots can you absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the so-called spiritual energy of heaven and earth refers to gold, wood, water, fire, The power of the five shapes of the earth, only people who can absorb the aura can condense the qi into shape, and then gather the vitality pill, if the vitality pill is destroyed, the spiritual root will naturally disappear, only when the yuan infancy is reached, the yuan dan is formed, it can be independent, there is no yuan dan can also absorb the aura of heaven and earth, mortals absorb the ordinary natural qi, if you enter the land of cultivating immortals, you will be oppressed by the power of the five shapes, and you will not survive for long at all, if the people who cultivate immortals have always existed in the place where mortals live, lack the power of the five elements, although it is not so depressing, but the power has never been able to take a step forward, so I have been traveling all these years, in fact, it is to find Xiao Rou's whereabouts, maybe she is also scattered in the world。 Speaking of this, Li Qingshui's voice was actually a little choked, after listening to Li Qingshui's description, Liu Cheng's mood was even more calm, and he was full of a yearning for immortal cultivators.
After saying this, Li Qingshui sobered up a lot, and looked at the iron sword that Liu Cheng put on the table, "Do you like to practice swords, I will teach you a set of swordsmanship as a teacher", after speaking, Li Qingshui grabbed the iron sword and jumped into the courtyard gently, and Liu Cheng hurriedly followed.
It was an ordinary iron sword, but in Li Qingshui's hands, it seemed to come to life, a light stab, a diagonal split, and suddenly he sped up and left a phantom in the air, as if he was holding and psychic, because of the heart, the iron sword was as fast as lightning, and a big stone in the court was split in half by him at will, Liu Cheng took a closer look, and there was a sword qi on the iron sword, which was the highest level of swordsmanship in the legend, Li Qingshui gradually slowed down, and deliberately let Liu Cheng understand it with one move, he seemed to understand it, but he didn't understand。
Li Qingshui stopped, he was not in a hurry, Liu Cheng suddenly saw what was famous, and unhurriedly took out two secret books from his arms, one of which was written with the three words of Ning Jian Duel, and the other was written with the words "Treading Snow Without a Trace" It seems to be a secret of light skills, Liu Cheng saw this and hurriedly knelt down to worship Li Qingshui, Li Qingshui hurriedly helped him up, "If you don't understand, you can ask me, you must practice diligently as a teacher, and then there will be things for you to help with", "Obey orders, master", Liu Cheng still wanted to ask what to write, but he didn't ask.
。。。 Unknowingly, Liu Cheng has been in the Vientiane Sect for three years, and the sect is still the same, but many people have changed.
