Chapter Twenty-Six: The Eagle Dance for Nine Days
After reading the letter, Su Mu couldn't calm down for a long time, but the previous loss and sadness were indeed gone.
Yes, I do have no mother, but this is no different from the beginning. And I have an aunt who cares about and protects me all the time, but that's for sure.
What is there not to be satisfied with?
Seeing the change in Su Mu's expression, the butterfly fairy also felt relieved. She was most worried about how much Su Mu would be devastated when she learned that Lingxi was not his mother, and now it was obvious that the letter left by Lingxi had soothed the child's hurt emotions very well.
That's it, Butterfly Fairy breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, picked up the medicinal soup that was put aside and said to Su Mu, "Mu'er, your body is still seriously injured now. Don't push yourself too hard when you wake up, drink this medicine and rest early. ”
"Aunt Yue, thank you for saving me. Su Mu suddenly smiled brightly at the butterfly fairy. made the butterfly fairy stunned directly.
After getting along for so long, it seems that it is the first time I have seen Su Mu smiling so cheerfully and so brightly, which makes the heart of the butterfly fairy warm. Thinking of Su Mu's appearance when he swung his sword and slashed the nine patterns with his seriously injured body to save himself, although he couldn't remember it at all, he couldn't forget that scene of the butterfly fairy in his life.
"You saved me, kid. The butterfly fairy endured the sourness of her nose while lowering her head and feeding Su Mu medicine.
However, Su Mu didn't expect that nearly two years had passed from his awakening to his complete recovery. In the blink of an eye, Su Mu was already thirteen years old. According to the rules of the Cold Mountain Sword Sect, a thirteen-year-old child would already be qualified to practice high-level sword techniques.
At the beginning, Butterfly Fairy gave Su Mu's injury estimate of two years, although Su Mu obviously recovered faster than she expected, but out of caution and some selfishness, even if Gao Yuanshan's letters urged one after another, Butterfly Fairy only didn't see the content inside, and all delayed it again and again on the grounds of "recuperating from injury".
Su Mu was approved to get out of bed by the Butterfly Fairy about a month after waking up. In the next two years, in addition to drinking medicine, rehabilitating and checking new meridians every day, Su Mu also spent time on swordsmanship practice all the time, and even reduced the time for learning medical knowledge a lot. This made the butterfly fairy very dissatisfied, and only called Su Mu a sword idiot, and Su Mu couldn't argue with this.
The loss and recovery of his true qi this time really made Su Mu realize how much he loved swordsmanship, and swords had become an inseparable part of his life. At present, the true qi that is stronger than before is unimpeded in the body, becoming Su Mujian's help. Because he never slackened his practice, whether it was sword posture or sword speed, he had greatly improved compared to before.
When he couldn't use his true qi, Su Mu only had to think more about moves and sword shapes, but it invisibly deepened Su Mu's understanding of the sword.
Finally one day, Su Mu, who woke up in the morning, found that the soreness in the right half of his body had completely disappeared, he couldn't help but jump up from the bed, and came outside the house without eating breakfast.
The "......" roaring sword qi broke through the air, and the surrounding air was visibly agitated. At this time, Su Mu had probably reached the upper layer of the Tongmai Realm, one step away from the Star Hanging Realm.
As a comparison, Senior Brother Li Encheng reached the Star Falling Realm at the age of sixteen and was already known as the first day of the sect, while the thirteen-year-old Su Mu had already touched this threshold, and he had a feeling that he could break through at any time.
The meridians made of the snake tendons of this nine-striped python are really domineering. Su Mu and Butterfly Fairy were very emotional.
He hadn't used his right hand recklessly for too long, and now Su Mu could finally swing his sword without any worries.
After thinking about it for a while, Su Mu decided to try the trick he had been thinking about for a long time. The trick to make yourself lose everything.
Nine days of sword dance.
Su Mu closed his eyes and began to carefully recall the moves that day at the ancestral hall, Ruan Qishen. Although three years have passed, Su Mu's super memory allows him to perfectly recall every detail of that day's sword moves.
The more he recalled, the more sure Su Mu became. Many details that were not sure if they could be done at the time should be at their fingertips now. But despite this, Su Mu also knew very well that this move was a hurdle for himself and a knot in his kendo career. Although he could wait for the True Qi Realm to reach the Star Hanging Realm or the Sea Viewing Realm a little higher before challenging it, it might be more stable, but that was not Su Mu's character.
You can do it now, why wait later?
Taking a deep breath as if he was cheering himself up, Su Mu lifted his sword. A beautiful half-arc was drawn on the top of the head.
This is the starting pose of the Nine Days of Sword Dance.
At this time, the butterfly fairy also happened to hear the sound and came outside the house, and saw Su Mu start to swing his sword. Although he didn't know much about swords, Butterfly Fairy obviously felt the tension of the atmosphere at this time.
Su Mu began to constantly swing his sword above his head and in front of him, one sword, two swords, constantly accelerating, constantly waving, and the power of the sword blade became more and more fierce. Sword Dance Nine Heavens is such a complex sword move based on the ever-changing sword momentum, by constantly accelerating the rhythm and change of the sword, so that the receiver can only fall into passive defense. Su Mu, who was short of breath that day, failed to use it, but today, Su Mu, who had already stepped into the peak of the Tongmai Realm, could easily reproduce his impression of this move.
When the sword is fast enough and complex enough, it is the moment to defeat the enemy with one blow.
Su Mu felt that the time was almost now, and his sword-wielding figure slowly overlapped with Ruan Qishen's figure that day. Even smoother and more perfect than Ruan Qishen!
It can be done, Su Mu made a judgment in his heart, and then he stepped on his luck, while maintaining the sword momentum, he jumped into the air, gathered the ever-changing sword momentum at one point, and then smashed it on the ground in the most domineering and direct way.
Even though he only had the cultivation of the Tongmai Realm, this huge sword momentum that had gathered still smashed a pit of about a foot on the ground. The flowers, flowers, plants, and various medicinal herbs planted around were also scattered in the sword wind.
Su Mu landed smoothly, put away his sword, and stood straight among the scattered fragments of flowers and plants.
At that moment, the butterfly fairy looked at Su Mu's back, and unconsciously remembered Su Mu when he killed the nine-striped python that day.
Although he has been bedridden for a long time and has been rehabilitating, more than two years have passed, Su Mu has grown a lot taller, and he is almost as tall as the butterfly fairy. Compared with the childishness on his face when he first came to Butterfly Valley, Su Mu at this moment made Butterfly Fairy seriously feel that he had the appearance of a little adult for the first time.
Su Mu noticed the gaze of the butterfly fairy, turned around, and conveyed the joy and excitement of his success with a cheerful smile that had only begun to appear recently.
Although she didn't know what that trick just now meant to Su Mu's short life, the butterfly fairy was still deeply infected by Su Mu's emotions. From the concentration and unwillingness to stubbornly practice the sword at the beginning, when he had no true qi, to the confidence and excitement on his face after successfully using such an imposing sword move today.
Butterfly Fairy understands how difficult it is for a child.
Although she also knew in her heart that the better Su Mu recovered, the closer the day would be when he would leave Butterfly Valley and return to the sect.
Separation is never a word to look forward to.
