Chapter 9 The Praying Mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind
After saying goodbye to Huan Wuliang and them, Tian Xu followed the route he set until the evening, found a place to have dinner, and decided to continue his journey overnight. According to his estimates, by dawn tomorrow morning, he should be almost able to get out of the mountains.
Tian Xu became more and more curious about the yin and yang formula he cultivated, he had just begun to cultivate, and the effect of this yin and yang technique began to be revealed. I traveled for two days and one night, and I didn't feel very tired. And I didn't sleep all night last night, and I didn't know how to do it just by cultivating. Injuries to the arms and ribs were tolerable.
Having learned the lesson of yesterday's camp with insufficient aura, today Tian Xu chose a hillside with sufficient aura. After dinner, I sat quietly here for two hours, on the one hand, to rest for a while to restore my strength, and on the other hand, to absorb the aura and prepare for the state of olfactory imaging, which is convenient for night activities.
Walking in the mountains and forests at night, breathing in the fresh and pure air, while constantly absorbing the aura, is indeed a pleasure. In the Qinling Mountains at night, the aura is not more abundant than during the day, but it is much purer than during the day. It is this purity that makes Tian Xu's cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.
He was right, before the sun rose, he climbed over a mountain beam, and the village below the mountain appeared before his eyes.
On an early summer morning, a light mist shrouded in the wheat fields outside the village, the wheat was being filled, and hard-working villagers were watering the wheat overnight.
In the distance, there is a highway crossing, although it is still early, but there are already many cars running on the road one after another. Tian Xu knew that as long as he drove along this highway to the northwest, he could reach Qindu in an hour. Tian Xu took a step and strode down the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, just turn the last corner and you will come to the village you just saw.
At this moment, Tian Xu heard someone speeding down the hillside on the left and rushing straight towards him. When I turned my head to look, I saw that it was two people. The two men each carried a sword behind their backs, and wore dark blue clothes of a similar style, presumably from the same sect.
Due to its proximity to the village, the mountains and forests here are filled with all kinds of human smells, and it is this that makes Tian Xu lose his vigilance against the ambush, and at this time, the two ambushers are about to rush to him, so they can only deal with it head-on.
When the two were more than twenty meters away from Tian Xu, two figures suddenly flashed out from behind a big stone, each of them was holding a scimitar with a blade length of more than one meter, one stopped in front of the two people in Tsing Yi, and the other turned around and pounced on Tian Xu.
The two men in Tsing Yi drew their swords at the same time and fought with the man who stood in the way. The knife-wielding man who blocked the way waved his long knife and slashed hard, with an astonishing sound. The man in Tsing Yi tried to separate a person to deal with the person who ran towards Tian Xu, but he was entangled in a knife from the roadblocker, and he couldn't get out for a while.
The knife-wielding man who ran towards Tian Xu came to him, and he didn't speak, but grabbed him by the neck. Tian Xu lifted the wooden stick in his left hand, carried the Tai Chi unloading method, pushed away the man's palm, and the stick was slightly pointed towards the opponent's chest. The long knife in the man's right hand deftly flipped and pushed, and cut off the wooden stick in Tian Xu's hand, and the blade immediately rested on his neck, and the sharpness of the knife penetrated through the skin.
"Come with me honestly, don't resist, suffer less. The man spoke with a local accent, and it seemed that he was from this pass.
The swordsmanship of the two swordsmen in Tsing Yi in the distance was light and round, and they did not fight hard with the swordsman who blocked the way, and forced the swordsman to gradually retreat with two enemies and one.
The knife-wielder who grabbed Tian Xu flew up and kicked Tian Xu's lower abdomen, cutting off his meridians, and turned around and shouted to the two swordsmen in the distance: "The person is already our swordsman in Guanzhong, you Ruyi Sword Gate still have to fight to the death, do you really want to make a feud?"
The two people from the Ruyi Sword Gate did not stop, and one of them said: "I am a dignified and decent Ruyi Sword Sect, seeing that you have forcibly abducted Tian Shaoxia, and your intentions are rude, how can I stand idly by? Let go of Tian Shaoxia, we will not embarrass you." ”
While speaking, the battlefield of the three gradually approached Tian Xu's side, and the swordsman who restrained Tian Xu also joined the battle group. The two sides were evenly matched for a while, and the fight was very fierce. Soon, there were people on both sides who were injured and bloodied.
Taking this opportunity, Tian Xu secretly operated the Heart Purification Mantra to dredge the blocked meridians. This time is different from the previous time, Tian Xu's body has gathered a lot of spiritual energy, under the operation of the Pure Heart Mantra, the spiritual energy in the body is lingering, circulating back and forth in the body, driving his sealed qi and blood, the stagnant place gradually loosened, and it only took a few minutes to recover as before.
This mantra is different from the general internal strength of the mind, it needs to mobilize the qi, blood and aura in the body to run according to the prescribed path, as long as the mind is calm, concentrate on silently reciting can take effect, and the colloquial language of Buddhism is quite similar.
At this time, Tian Xu knew that the pure heart mantra created by his mother was so magical, it could not follow the meridians, guide the aura to comb the body's qi and blood, and achieve the effect of calming and stabilizing.
Before, Tian Xu only knew that the exercises practiced by his mother were different from those of his father, and she was not like her father's hard practice of boxing and standing on piles every day, and she usually just meditated, which was similar to spiritual cultivation with the door. The mother herself didn't care about this exercise, saying that it was inspired by her father, and it was not as powerful as the Tai Chi Xuan Gong created by her father, and she didn't accept any disciples, but just passed on a pure heart mantra to Tian Xu, saying that it can strengthen the heart, prolong life, and can also be used to save yourself when the meridians are sealed, even if you are an ordinary person who has not practiced, it has an effect. At this time, it seems that this miracle can already be used as a treasure in any sect.
When I think of my mother, I can't help but feel sad. Suddenly, two screams rang out in a row from the four people who were fighting hotly, interrupting Tian Xu's thoughts.
When he looked back, he found that the swordsman who had captured him and a swordsman in Tsing Yi had fallen to the ground, both of them were covered in blood, and the swordsman was still rolling and struggling, but the swordsman was already convulsing, and he saw that he was not alive. Another swordsman and swordsman, who had been hostile, were now standing side by side, swords drawn together, trying to fend off the attack of three men with different weapons.
"I didn't expect that there were still people ambushed here, besides these three people, is there any?" Tian Xu muttered to himself, sniffing, trying to distinguish the surrounding smell.
I don't know if I don't know, when he closed his eyes, used his sense of smell with all his might, combined with other senses, and carried out comprehensive imaging, he found that just a few dozen meters away, there was a person hiding in a big tree. The smell on that person's body was extremely faint, and Tian Xu could barely smell it. It's just that around that person's body, the aura is condensed and not dispersed, like a substance, and he is obviously a super master.
On this person's body, there seems to be a peaceful breath lingering, almost one with the big trees around him, Tian Xu relied on his intuition, and barely discovered his existence.
It stands to reason that whoever snooped on him here, whether good or evil, had bad intentions towards Tian Xu, but in this person's body, Tian Xu didn't feel a trace of hostility, but gave birth to a special sense of closeness.
At this moment, Tian Xu found that the person's aura suddenly fluctuated, and then he felt his instinct to spy on the person shake slightly, and a majestic aura rushed straight over with his prying eyes.
"Ah, I was discovered. Tian Xu was deeply surprised, the other party obviously felt the mental fluctuations when he peeked at him, and then tracked him over.
"It's over. He said to himself secretly, "This person's realm is far beyond the few people around him, and he will definitely fall into the hands of this person in the end, so I can't pretend to be stupid in front of him now." ”
In self-pity, the movement behind the hillside he turned over attracted Tian Xu's attention, and someone came again.
That side is probably the limit that Tian Xu can sense, and the person who came did not deliberately hide his whereabouts, so he was sensed by Tian Xu. However, he could only vaguely know that someone was running towards him, but he couldn't determine the exact number of people and other information.
What Tian Xu didn't know was that the heart of the hidden person who was discovered by him was full of surprise, he definitely didn't expect that Tian Xu would be able to discover his existence, and judging from Tian Xu's current reaction, he actually found someone who had not yet crossed the hillside.
Tian Xu's doubts about the people who were getting up did not last long, and the figures of the four people soon appeared on the ridge, and at this time he was already able to determine that it was the four disciples of the Kunlun Sect who got along well with him this time.
After the four of them climbed over the top of the mountain, they immediately noticed the fight here and rushed here without hesitation. Lu Xing, who ranked third, was the first to shout: "Who is fighting here?"
The last three people who appeared to attack realized that something was wrong, whistled, and retreated in three directions. The two people of the Ruyi Sword Gate and the Guanzhong Swordsman, who had just been facing the enemy side by side, instantly jumped out to each side, and the disciple of the Ruyi Sword Gate said: "Is it the swordsman of the Kunlun Sect? Jing Yushan, a disciple of the Ruyi Sword Sect, this is a Guanzhong swordsman, we were attacked by the three people just now, and they killed two of them. ”
At this time, the three people who escaped had already run away without a trace, and Lu Xing said: "Walking on the Lower Kunlun Road, I don't know why you have a fight?" As he spoke, he suddenly saw Tian Xu who fell to the ground, and shouted out, "Brother Tian, how are you?"
The Guanzhong swordsman subconsciously stopped in front of Lu Xing, Lu Xing's body was stunned, and at this moment, Huan Wuliang and Ziyan had already rushed to Tian Xu's side from both sides, and Huan Wuliang made a move and helped Tian Xu up.
Lu Xing said angrily: "It turns out that you are coveting Brother Tian's family heirloom exercises, Brother Tian is my friend of Kunlun, you hurt him, and still take our Kunlun in your eyes?"
The swordsman in the level said, "You are not for his exercises, why bother to pretend?" But before he finished speaking, a sharp sword was already on his neck, and the youngest Cheng Yuan behind him actually came to his back silently before he could react.
I only heard Lu Xing continue: "...... If you dare to insult my Kunlun's reputation, aren't you afraid of my Kunlun's sword?"
Tian Xu, who was helped up by Huan Wuliang, said at this time: "My father has taught countless disciples in his life, and he has always taught each other, and he has never hidden his secrets. My brothers who were killed were just more savvy and volunteered to follow my father's side. It's a shame that villains like you are chasing me endlessly for this. If it hadn't been for the Kunlun Sect to save a few senior brothers, I'm afraid I would have died in your hands. Now that I have already handed over the exercises that my father sorted out to the swordsmen of Kunlun, you don't have to daydream anymore. ”
After a moment's hesitation, he added, "If I have any quick cultivation secret method, will I still be in this sevenfold realm of sales price?
