The fourth time, I don't see a day of thought
The rattan bridge was erected between the two highest cliffs of Guiyun Peak, Gu Qingxian fell from the top, and he was bound to die, but he didn't panic much, but smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said in his heart: "I didn't practice 'Flying Dragon Riding Clouds' after all." ’”
Gu Qingxian closed his eyes and let the cold wind whistle past him, and after a while, he suddenly heard a "plop" sound, and he was unconscious.
After a long time, when Gu Qingxian woke up, he only felt that his body was very warm, but when he opened his eyes, he was floating in a pool. Gu Qingxian was born with excellent water nature, so he immediately swam ashore and took off his soaked clothes to dry.
It turns out that the bottom of this cliff is not a mountain, but a naturally formed hot spring. The pool of water was bottomless, and Gu Qingxian's falling momentum was so slow that he could save his life. For the rest of his life, Gu Qingxian let out a sigh of relief and turned around to observe his surroundings.
Surrounded by mountains, this waterhole is deep and quiet, and it seems that it has not been seen for many years. Gu Qingxian searched for a long time, but he didn't even find a trail.
Gu Qingxian said in his heart: "Most grandfathers don't know about this valley, if it is a desperate situation, they can only starve to death here." The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became, and I slapped my palm on the tree next to me. He was now in the palm of his hand, and the tree was shaken violently. Suddenly, there was a "bang", and something fell from the tree.
Gu Qingxian stepped forward to pick it up, but it was an old book, and the book cover said "Cao Zi Jianji", Gu Qingxian only said that this book was dropped by the old man Ye on the cliff in the past, and he didn't care about it at the moment, put the book aside, and continued to look for an exit.
Who knew that after turning around a few times, he still didn't find anything, Gu Qingxian couldn't help but be slightly discouraged, sat on the ground, took the letter and opened a few pages, and saw that it was written in it "Luo Shen Fu", Gu Qingxian thought: "I taught myself 'Thrilling Steps' and 'Dragon Steps', but I will not have a chance to perform them in the future." Turning back further, a row of dense small characters appeared on the book, and the word "Xiahou" was faintly visible. Gu Qingxian's heart was shocked, and when he looked carefully, he saw that it was written:
"My Xiahou Jian has achieved nothing in his life, he can't be shocked, he can't settle the world, and he has lived in the mountains for more than ten years, and he is really a waste. Going down the mountain today, I am willing to give up this body for the peace of the people of Kyushu, if so, there will be no regrets in the world. ”
Gu Qingxian read it word by word, and said in his heart: "It turns out that this book was left by Xiahou's predecessors, and he later founded the Yun'an Gang to punish traitors and eliminate evil, and help the people, which can be regarded as fulfilling his wish." ”
Gu Qingxian turned the book to another page, only to see that the back was still Xiahou Jian's handwriting, and the upper left side read: "I have not been out of the rivers and lakes for a long time, and I have learned a set of martial arts in the deep mountains, and I feel that its meaning is very different from what I have learned ordinarily. ”
Gu Qingxian's hands trembled and turned over the remaining pages, which recorded the moves and formulas of the Cloud Piercing Palm and the Guiyun Sword, followed by the Thrilling Steps, the Dragon Steps, and the Nayun Jue Mental Method. This time joy fell from the sky, and Gu Qingxian was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. I saw that the book wrote: "The Cloud Piercing Palm and the Guiyun Sword need to be based on the internal strength of Nayun Jue, and those who practice Nayun Jue can pass the first paragraph in three years, the second paragraph in five years, and those with high understanding can pass the third paragraph in ten years." You can learn to wear the cloud palm in the second stage of Nayun Jue, and you can learn to return to the cloud sword in the third stage, remember not to overcome, otherwise it will be harmful to yourself. ”
Gu Qingxian suddenly realized: "It turns out that grandpa didn't deliberately not teach himself the Guiyun Sword, but he was afraid that his internal strength would be insufficient, and he would forcibly practice the sword for fear of being counterattacked." "How did he know, if Gu Yu hadn't discussed with the elders of the Nine Sound Valley when he was seven years old, and secretly passed on the first paragraph of Nayun Jue to him, laying the foundation for more than ten years, it would have been difficult for him to learn to pierce the cloud palm in a few months.
Holding the book tightly in his hand, if in the past, Gu Qingxian naturally did not hesitate to look at the moves of the Guiyun Sword, but now that he is dedicated to studying the Cloud Piercing Palm, his interest in the Guiyun Sword has faded a lot, and as said in the book, he has not yet passed the three stages of the Yun Technique, and he cannot practice the Guiyun Sword.
Now find the last page of the palm and start reading it carefully. Gu Qingxian only said that there would be any special methods in the book, who knew that after reading the book once, he found that the mantra and moves of "Flying Dragon Riding the Clouds" contained on it were the same as those passed on by Old Man Ye.
Gu Qingxian got up and beat the twenty-four style cloud piercing palm from beginning to end, and the last style of "flying dragon riding the clouds" still couldn't be closed. Gu Qingxian didn't give up, picked up the book and read it again, this time he found a line of small characters in the move of "Flying Dragon Riding Clouds", which read: "I am from the nine heavens, ride the white clouds and fall, ride the wind of Liuhe, step on the steps of the dragon, and all eighty-one times are enlightenment." ”
"From above the nine heavens, fall on the ......white clouds" Gu Qingxian repeated a few times, thinking: "Xiahou's predecessors have lived in seclusion in Guiyun Peak for eighteen years, just like a coiled flying dragon, recuperating and recuperating, once born, he is unstoppable. I don't have such an experience, I'm afraid it's difficult to learn to wear all the clouds. He closed the book, looked around, and his heart moved: "Since this book is placed here by Xiahou's predecessors, it means that there must be a way out nearby, and I will look for it again." ”
He had the thought that there was a way out, so he stopped being in a hurry, and slowly groped along the rock wall little by little, and finally found a loose stone on the west side. Gu Qingxian used his internal force to move the big stone away, revealing a swarthy hole behind him. Although Gu Qingxian is not small, he is afraid of the dark. He returned to the tree, plucked two thick branches for his blade, and went back into the cave.
There was no sound in the cave, but it was even more terrifying. Gu Qingxian walked forward quickly, and it didn't take long for him to see a glimmer of light.
Gu Qingxian saw the light at first glance and knew that the road was right, so he was very happy now, and ran over. As soon as he got out of the cave, his eyes suddenly opened up, and when Gu Qingxian looked carefully, he was on the flowerbed planted by Old Man Ye, that is, the place where he was chased by the Chongyang Gang at the beginning, and he only said that this flowerbed was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and who knew that there was a road on it.
The entrance of the cave is covered by weeds all year round, so no one finds it, Gu Qingxian often follows the old man Ye to climb the mountain and jump over the wall, transporting food, although the entrance of the cave is eight or nine zhang high from the ground, it will not be difficult for him to go. At the moment, he took a few steps to rise and fall, and jumped down from top to top lightly.
As soon as he came out, he remembered that Xiahou Jian's handwriting was still in it. However, Gu Qingxian was not in a hurry, he first went back to the stone house to rest and rectify, and on a whim, he went to the vine bridge again. Leaning over on the rattan bridge, Gu Qingxian saw that the clouds and mist below blocked most of his vision, if he hadn't gone down in person, no one would have believed that there was a paradise below.
At this time, the breeze blew, and Gu Qingxian suddenly remembered what Xiahou Jian said in the book: "From above the nine heavens, fall by the white clouds." He couldn't help but have a bold idea in his heart: "Didn't Xiahou's predecessor also fall from this cliff back then, so he created the trick of "flying dragon riding the clouds"? If it weren't for that, it would be difficult for him to discover the hidden valley hot springs. Thinking of this, Gu Qingxian's blood couldn't help but boil, no longer hesitated, turned over, and took the initiative to fall off the rattan bridge this time.
In mid-air, Gu Qingxian opened his arms, carefully feeling the changes in the wind and clouds, and finally understood what Old Man Ye said, "the feeling of soaring clouds and driving fog". Before Gu Qingxian could figure it out, there was a "plop", and the person had fallen into the water. Gu Qingxian climbed ashore, thought for a while, and gritted his teeth: "Come again!"
In the middle of the half moon, Gu Qingxian climbed the vine bridge and fell down again, a total of more than 100 times, he saw what was written in Xiahou Jianshu: "Eighty-one times is enlightenment." "I felt that it was far from Xiahou Jian, and as soon as I did it with my clothes, I immediately started practicing again. This "flying dragon riding the clouds" was originally the most difficult trick to comprehend in the palm of the clouds, Ye Qiuhua learned it from his master back then, and it was only after a few years of actual combat against the enemy that he understood the key. Who would have expected Gu Qingxian to have this adventure, and according to the method of Xiahou Sword back then, he would comprehend it in half a month.
By the time Ye Qiuhua returned to the mountain, Gu Qingxian's set of cloud-piercing palm techniques had been perfected. Gu Qingxian told the discovery of the mountain spring in detail, and took out the Xiahou swordsman book, Ye Qiuhua sighed after reading it, and said: "Now that the Yun'an Gang is famous all over the world, the Guiyun Sword and the Cloud Piercing Palm have also been handed down as the town gang's peerless learning, and the hard work of the Xiahou gang leader has finally not been in vain." ”
Gu Qingxian said: "Grandpa, you must have been a high authority in the Yun'an Gang back then, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to pass on these kung fu." ”
Old Man Ye smiled faintly: "It's all in the past, I haven't been involved in the rivers and lakes for twenty years, and this time I went out, I just saw an old friend, I'm old!"
Gu Qingxian said: "Mo Dao Sangyu is late, and the sky is still full of xia. Grandpa, with your current skills, I'm afraid that there is no one in the rivers and lakes who can reach it. ”
Old Man Ye didn't answer, but asked, "Do you want to enter the rivers and lakes?"
Gu Qingxian was speechless for a while, and he didn't know where to start. Old man Ye said: "Young people, they all have a lot of sharpness, I don't know how many knives I have suffered on the rivers and lakes when I was your age." According to the rules of Jiuyin Valley, if you stay in the mountain for three years, it is considered a violation. ”
Gu Qingxian said with a smile: "Even if you don't violate the rules, where will you go back to Gu Middle School in five years to teach your grandfather." ”
Old Man Ye patted Gu Qingxian's shoulder and said proudly: "Good boy, I'm getting better and better at sycophancy." But this is not bad, what can you learn in the Valley of Nine Sounds, I will teach you more than a hundred times. Now that you have a small success in martial arts, as long as you don't meet a first-class master, you don't have to worry. ”
Gu Qingxian said: "Then when will I go down the mountain?" Old Man Ye said: "Let's leave today, you have to do three things when you go down the mountain this time." When you come back, I will teach you the Guiyun Sword Technique. ”
Gu Qingxian raised Xiahou Jian's handwriting: "That's not necessary, hehe, I can learn it myself." ”
Old Man Ye stretched out his finger and flicked it on Gu Qingxian's wrist, Gu Qingxian couldn't hold it, and immediately let go, Old Man Ye snatched the handwritten book and said with a smile: "Little rabbit cub, you dare to show off your power in front of me." ”
Gu Qingxian didn't comply, and said, "It's a shame that you're still a grandfather, and you're here to rob your grandson of what he found." ”
Old Man Ye said: "You have also read it, it is clearly written in this handbook, Nayun Jue has not reached the third paragraph, you can't practice the Guiyun Sword, and if you go down the mountain with this book, no one can guarantee that you will come back safely." ”
Gu Qingxian knew that what Old Man Ye said was true, this handwritten book was equivalent to a priceless treasure for people who practiced martial arts, "The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty", and it was also because of this reason that he gave the sword to Gu Beichen back then.
Old Man Ye said again: "You have learned martial arts, and you have never had nowhere to show it, I ordered you to go down the mountain this time, first, to let you see the outside world, and secondly, to let you actually use what you have learned, so as to increase your understanding." Internal cultivation takes time to precipitate, and it cannot be achieved in a hurry. Not long after you have just entered the second stage of Nayun Jue in your body, it will still take time to reach the third stage, so you must not be greedy for merit for a while, and go mad for the sake of the Guiyun Sword. ”
Gu Qingxian saw that Old Man Ye's expression was stern, and his concern for himself was overflowing, and he said softly: "Grandpa, don't worry, your grandson will never live up to your expectations like this." ”
Ye Qiuhua's face also softened, and said: "I am now in my old age, and it is a thousand blessings to only think that you will not have any accidents." ”
Gu Qingxian's heart was moved, and he threw himself into Old Man Ye's arms, speechless.
