13 Try new tricks
Ning Cui saw that she finally took out the knife, and she didn't dare to be careless at the moment, so she hurriedly stabbed it out with the branch in her hand, taking the offensive of "chasing through the clouds through the sea and sky", and Xie Yixiang's chaotic separation to fight fast and rush to attack first.
If you want to talk about the martial arts of the Chaoyin Cave in Putuo Mountain, Xie Yixiang has seen Qu Baoshu on the shore of Poyang Lake many times, and this time he has fought with Ning Cui one after another, which is already very familiar. What's more, Ning Cui's habitual oil umbrella had been thrown away at the end of the aisle by Shang Bu, and now that she used this branch to make a move, she naturally couldn't use the defensive position of "Sea and Sky Weeping Cloud Wings", and her power was suddenly weakened by more than half. Therefore, the two fought for more than ten moves, and Xie Yixiang had firmly gained the upper hand, forcing Ning Cui to retreat.
Seeing that there were a few more moves, Ning Cui was defeated and decided, but unexpectedly, the branch in her hand suddenly changed her move, and she actually used a move similar to a short stick or an iron pestle, directly pressed the back of the knife that was chaotic, and then used her free left hand to cut Xie Yixiang's wrist holding the knife, which was obviously a wonderful move to grab the knife. Xie Yixiang was careless for a while, and the chaos in his hand was almost shot down by Ning Cui's strange move, so he quickly cheered up and slashed out five or six quick knives in one go, which regained the upper hand.
Since then, in Ning Cui's "Sea and Sky Chasing Through the Clouds", there will be a few similar strange tricks mixed in from time to time, which makes Xie Yixiang unguardable. Several times he was about to restrain Ning Cui, but Ning Cui used these strange tricks to defuse it. Fortunately, after Xie Yixiang realized the "Melting Fragrance Decision", although his internal strength did not grow, his moves and vision were already a grade higher than Ning Cui's. At that moment, she strictly guarded the door and fought steadily, and when she fought to more than sixty moves, she finally saw the opportunity and cut off the branch in Ning Cui's hand with chaos.
Ning Cui hurriedly pulled away, threw away half of the branch in his hand, and said with a smile: "Enough is enough, I lost." After such a discussion, can my sister dispel her anger and relieve her hatred?" Xie Yixiang was still thinking about her strange tricks, but she just snorted coldly and did not answer. Ning Cui smiled at her and turned to leave.
After this battle, Xie Yixiang decided in her heart that Ning Cui and Zhao Xiaoling had bad intentions, but she was afraid that if she was not careful, she would fall into the hands of that Zhao Xiaoling, so she couldn't help but be secretly vigilant. Who knew that Zhao Xiaoling was still dumbfounded, he came to deliver food twice a day, and he didn't dare to talk to Xie Yixiang, so he couldn't see anything abnormal. It wasn't until three days later, on the morning of the fourth day, that Ning Cui came again and still picked a branch to ask Xie Yixiang for advice. Xie Yixiang didn't bother to talk nonsense with her, so she pulled out her knife and made a move.
Unexpectedly, Ning Cui's martial arts made a move this time, and his martial arts can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds, compared to the strange moves he used last time, there were actually more than a dozen similar new moves, and they were integrated with the previous moves, and the power increased greatly. If Ning Cui's last shot was mixed with these strange tricks in "Sea and Sky Piercing Cloud Chasing", today's shot was mixed with "Sea and Sky Piercing Cloud Chasing" in these strange moves. Xie Yixiang used the "Melting Fragrance Recipe" to urge the essence of the three sets of knife techniques, "Random Knife", "Leaving the Knife" and "Empty Mountain Singing Stream", and still felt very difficult in the face of the endless strange moves on the branches of Ning Cui.
Fortunately, when he was in Yumen Pass before, Senior Brother Xian Jingyue had already taught Xie Yixiang the "Eighteen Styles of Sudden Slashing", "Starfire Knife Method", "Eight Doors of Life and Death Knife" and "Three Swords of Heaven Piercing" of the Master Sword King, although it was only a few sets of introductory knife techniques, it was better than having never used it in front of Ning Cui. At that moment, Xie Yixiang used these four sets of knife techniques at the same time with the second truth of "Melting Fragrance Technique", and immediately attacked Ning Cui by surprise, and when it came to the one hundred and eighty-sixth move, Xie Yixiang finally relied on the advantage of weapons to cut off the branch in Ning Cui's hand again.
Ning Cui still admitted defeat on the spot like last time, but before leaving, he smiled at Xie Yixiang and said: "The way of martial arts is to sail against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat." I hope my sister will practice diligently, otherwise the next time I learn, I'm afraid I'm going to lose to me. Xie Yixiang woke up and couldn't help but panic. Obviously, Ning Cui learned such a set of strange tricks from somewhere, and the two times she came to "learn", she was obviously trying out Xie Yixiang's tricks.
It is said that there are only three people in this cave, and Ning Cui is tired of being with Zhao Xiaoling every day, where did she learn such a set of strange tricks? Xie Yixiang was suspicious in her heart, could it be that Ning Cui actually learned it from Zhao Xiaoling? She immediately denied this idea, then Zhao Xiaoling only had the mind of a teenager, and his behavior was even more clumsy, he had never practiced martial arts, and he couldn't detect any internal strength in him, so how could he teach martial arts to Ning Cui?
Thinking of this, Xie Yixiang immediately came to her senses, secretly scolded herself for being stupid, and hurriedly walked to the other side of the lake, and came to the habitat of Zhao Xiaoling and Ning Cui. When the two of them saw her come suddenly, they were both stunned, but Xie Yixiang ignored them, and went straight to the pile of books in the corner, and at a cursory glance, they were all classics such as "Analects", "Mencius" and "Spring and Autumn". Zhao Xiaoling next to him couldn't help but ask, "You...... Are you looking for books to read? I don't know much about these books anyway, so I just have to take them. ”
Xie Yixiang said in her heart: "Could it be that I guessed wrong, Ning Cui's strange set of kung fu was not learned from the books here?" She was about to read carefully, but she heard Ning Cui smile and said: "Sister, the books here are the same as mine, they all belong to Xiaoling's things." If my sister is also willing to become a person of Xiaoling, these books will naturally be yours, so why bother asking for them, but it seems to be raw. ”
As soon as these words came out, Xie Yixiang and Zhao Xiaoling's faces were flushed, and Zhao Xiaoling's face was flushed with shyness, and he lowered his head, but the corner of his eyes secretly glanced at Xie Yixiang to see how she reacted;
After a few days like this, Xie Yixiang knew that Ning Cui would definitely come to him again to try his recruitment, so he had to practice the internal strength of "Autumn Water and Long Sky". But these days, Ning Cui and Zhao Xiaoling have been happy day and night, and when she heard it in her ears, she had already been confused. Xie Yixiang had no choice but to fuse the seven knife techniques of "Random Knife", "Leaving the Knife", "Empty Mountain Singing Stream", "Sudden Slashing Eighteen Styles", "Starfire Knife Method", "Eight Life and Death Knives" and "Three Knives of Heaven" with the second truth of "melting incense".
But Ning Cui didn't come to make trouble these days, but peeled the bark of the tree in the grass and trees by the lake with Zhao Xiaoling, and worked together to form a long rope. After more than an hour, when Ning Cui resurfaced, the oil umbrella that had been abandoned by Shang Bu at the end of the aisle had reappeared in her hand.
Xie Yixiang thought for a while, and suddenly understood the reason. If you want to sink to the bottom of the water at a depth of more than ten zhang, you have to rely on heavy objects, and you can barely climb up from the deep hole at the bottom of the lake with the hammer you held before, and you didn't give up the hammer. However, when I went to the bottom of the pool at the end of the walkway, I couldn't climb it with a hammer because of the flat and smooth walls of the pool, so I had to leave the hammer at the bottom of the pool.
Now Ning Cui also has a hammer snatched from his hand in his hand, most of which is also placed near the deep hole at the bottom of the lake. She relied on the hammer to sink into the deep hole, and it was not difficult for her to cross the channel to return to the bottom of the pool, but it was difficult to float out of the pool with the hammer. If she threw the hammer at the bottom of the pool like Xie Yixiang, then when she retrieved her oil umbrella from the end of the aisle, there would be no heavy objects to help her sink to the bottom of the pool more than ten feet deep.
So Ning Cui came up with such a method and made a long rope with Zhao Xiaoling, just to tie the hammer left at the bottom of the pool with a long rope when he returned to the bottom of the pool, and then floated out of the pool empty-handed, and then pulled the hammer at the bottom of the pool through the long rope. In this way, she can retrieve the oil umbrella and sink to the bottom of the pool with a hammer again, and return to the cave in front of her.
In this way, Ning Cui's oil umbrella was undoubtedly strengthened again, which made Xie Yixiang feel more and more anxious, so she had to practice the knife wholeheartedly. Sure enough, early the next morning after recovering the oil umbrella, Ning Cui came to Xie Yixiang again with the oil umbrella to "discuss".
Because the surface of her oil umbrella had been broken in several places before, it had been patched with rags at this time, although the appearance was a little ugly, it did not affect the use. Xie Yixiang didn't say much, so she had to cheer up and fight Ning Cui for the third time. In the face of Ning Cui, who was holding an oil umbrella, he did not seek merit in disorder, but sought no fault.
