Chapter 17: Swordsmanship
The glimmer of the morning finally broke through the obstacles of the night, and sent the gentle dawn to this magical and ancient land, and a new day came as scheduled. Although there is no loud wake-up call in the barracks now, Xiao Jian, who is used to getting up early, still woke up when the sky was slightly shining, although he slept late last night, and went to bed at about two or three o'clock, Xiao Jian not only did not feel the slightest tiredness, but felt that the whole person was refreshed and bright. "I didn't expect that the Yuan Replenishment Pill that Amu gave me yesterday would have such an effect, which can not only quickly replenish the Yuan power consumed by people, but also quickly replenish physical energy. It's just amazing. Xiao Jian couldn't help admiring in his heart, and quickly got dressed. Now that I can walk around the ground, I should get up early and go out for activities, although I can't do regular training yet, but take a walk in the yard and do some simple recovery exercises, there should be no problem. Human beings are easily inert animals, and if they relax a foot towards themselves, they will often fall behind. Now that he has crossed into this world, there is no one else to control him, and if he doesn't restrain himself well, I'm afraid it won't be long before he will be almost the same as an ordinary soldier.
As soon as Xiao Jian opened the door, he saw a young man in a black power suit dancing his sword in the open space of the courtyard. The pit left by the grenade explosion last night in the yard had long since been filled in, and the shrapnel had already been cleared. Xiao Jian saw that Amu was concentrating on sword practice, so he didn't make a sound to disturb, but stood aside and watched intently. I saw a long sword in the young man's hand flying up and down, opening and closing, picking or stabbing, splitting or chopping, tossing and turning, like an antelope hanging its horns, and there was no trace to be found. When the young man finished practicing, put away the sword in his hand, and stood up, Xiao Jian couldn't help but secretly admire, applauded, and praised repeatedly, "Good swordsmanship, good swordsmanship!"
"Brother Xiao, why don't you get up so early?Why don't you rest for a while?" Amu saw that Xiao Jianzheng was clapping his hands and walking towards him, so he quickly inserted the long sword in his hand into the scabbard, wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and said a little shyly, "Let Brother Xiao see the smile, my swordsmanship is only a small success, and it is still far from the real entrance into the house." ”
"The swordsmanship you practiced just now is strong and powerful, and the sword moves are powerful and powerful, so it should be taught by a famous master, right?"
"Yes, this set of swordsmanship is called 'Youlong Swordsmanship' taught to me by my father, and I have been practicing for several years before I reach Xiaocheng, and I hope that Brother Xiao can give me some advice. "I didn't expect that Amu, this kid was still very modest, and seeing that Xiao Jian had a good evaluation of his swordsmanship, he started to ask for advice.
"I'm also a beginner in kendo, so I don't necessarily have much advice for you. However, I think this set of swordsmanship has more than enough offensive but defensive position, but it is still insufficient, and there is still a little less agility in the might. "Xiao Jian has learned martial arts since he was a child, and the Lingyun swordsmanship handed down by his family is very exquisite, although he doesn't know the origin of Amu's swordsmanship, but he also knows the gains and losses.
"Brother Xiao, when you are healed, you must accompany me to practice more. Amu didn't expect that Brother Xiao in front of him was also an expert in swordsmanship, so he couldn't help but ask.
"No problem, when I get better, I will definitely practice more with you. "The most taboo in martial arts is to rest on your laurels, if you can find an opponent, confirm each other, and learn from each other, it is naturally conducive to improving your martial arts level. Xiao Jian has never been afraid to compete with others, nor is he afraid to practice his swordsmanship in front of others. This was much better than the other martial artists he had seen in Huaxia. In his opinion, it is difficult for those who are closed-minded, clinging to the prejudices of the door, and unwilling to learn from the strengths of other families to truly improve their martial arts cultivation. By learning from others, you can not only better discover your own shortcomings, but also absorb the strengths of others as much as possible, so as to improve your own level faster.
The two chatted a few more words, then stopped talking, each found a place to meditate cross-legged, and began to practice the inner strength of the mind. Xiao Jian's cultivation is the famous "Nine Abyss Divine Dragon Technique" in China. This internal strength is both rigid and soft, and the most important thing is to pay attention to the accumulation of time. Although Xiao Jian is still only cultivating to the fourth layer, he is also able to release his internal strength and send and receive freely, which is quite hot. According to the records of the classics at home, this exercise is divided into 12 layers, the first three layers are the entry level, mainly for self-cultivation and gathering, refining to the peak, can be as light as a swallow, the internal force is thick and full, far beyond the ordinary martial arts. The fourth, fifth and sixth floors are the primary level, and when they reach their peak, they can not only release their internal strength, but also hurt people in the air. The seventh, eighth, and ninth floors are middle-class, mainly imperial weapons and repellents, and when they reach their peak, although they will not hurt the enemy thousands of miles away like in other martial arts, they can also throw leaves across the river and drive away the enemy. As for the last three layers of the legend, perhaps because of the lack of spiritual power on the earth, from ancient times to the present, Xiao Jian's ancestors have never been able to reach it, and they don't know how powerful it is. Although this set of mental methods is exquisite, it requires extremely high talent and is extremely difficult to cultivate. Xiao Jianneng cultivated the family heirloom mind method to the fourth layer in his twenties, although he was not necessarily an ancient genius, but he could also be regarded as a rare genius in the family in the past two or three hundred years.
Just as Xiao Jian and Amu finished their cultivation and were about to return to the house to cook, there was a rapid slapping sound at the courtyard door, and a crisp and anxious female voice came from outside: "Amu, Amu, I'm my sister, I'm back, you open the door quickly." ”
Amu recognized the sound of the call outside the door, it was his sister, he didn't expect her to come back so early, so he hurriedly trotted all the way to the door and pulled the bolt to welcome the people outside.
Xiao Jian looked up and couldn't help but be instantly attracted by the beauty of the person who came. I saw that it was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl who came in, the girl was slender, white clothes and white skirts, fluttering clothes, straight forward and backward, concave and convex, a face carved with pink and jade, flawless, like a fairy in the painting, under the eyebrows of two delicate willow leaves, although a pair of big eyes revealed an anxious look, it was particularly looking forward to brilliance, tenderness. The girl's face was dripping with sweat and panting at this time, and it was obvious that she was in a hurry to come all the way.
"Sister, why did you come back so early? Seeing that you left in such a hurry, is there something urgent at your grandmother's house?" Seeing his sister's anxious eyes, Amu couldn't help but feel an ominous feeling in his heart.
"Yes, my grandmother's condition has suddenly worsened, and she has been coughing up blood since the second half of yesterday night, and she is about to die. Why are you alone at home, Abba and Grandma are not at home?"
"Abba and Auntie went into the mountains to collect medicine a few days ago, and I don't know when I will be able to come back. Now it's just me and Brother Xiao at home. ”
"Brother Xiao, who is Brother Xiao, we don't seem to have any relatives in our family, right?" But seeing that he was not from the tribe at all, he couldn't help asking, "Amu, who is this?"
"He is the eldest brother Xiao Jian Xiao I told you just now, who was rescued from the mountains by Abba and Grandma a few days ago, and is now healing at our home. Abba and Aunt were also forced by Dan Ivan to go into the mountains to collect medicine because of this big brother Xiao" Amu then had a conflict between Zuo Liancheng and Dan Ivan, and was forced to go into the mountains to collect medicine and refine the matter of replenishing Yuan Dan, and simply told his sister about it.
"Why is it Dan Ivan's old thing?" As soon as Dan Ivan's old thing was mentioned, Asika couldn't help but feel angry in her heart, and when she thought of her grandmother's current condition, she was even more anxious. "Grandma is so sick now, Abba and Mom are not at home, what should I do now?"
"Don't worry, tell me about your grandmother's condition first, and see if you can think of any way. Xiao Jian saw Asika's overwhelmed expression, and couldn't help but comfort him.
"My grandmother suddenly became ill two months ago, and at first she only coughed frequently, but then her condition slowly worsened, and she began to cough up blood. After taking the pill given by Abba last time, although the condition was under control, it has not been cured. Last night, because I drank a glass of cold water, my condition suddenly worsened, and I have been coughing up blood since the second half of the night. I was afraid that something might happen, so I came home one day and wanted to go to Abba to have a look. But I didn't expect them to go into the mountains to collect medicine, and now they are not at home, what can they do?" Asika said this, and couldn't help but sob.
"Is it acute pneumonia?" Although Xiao Jian was not a doctor, he had read several medical books at a glance, and saw that the condition described by Asika was somewhat similar to acute pneumonia, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Acute pneumonia, what kind of disease is this, are you also a pill pharmacist?" Seeing Xiao Jian interjecting on the side, Asika quickly turned his head, and didn't care about wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at Xiao Jian, and asked with a hopeful face.
"I'm not a pill pharmacist, but I've read a few medical books before. If your grandmother's illness is really acute pneumonia, maybe I can help a little. Although the onset of this acute pneumonia is very urgent, it is only a common disease, not a rare and incurable disease, Xiao Jian remembers that there are a few penicillins in his first aid kit, people here usually use pills to treat diseases, should not have used any antibiotics, if this is the case, inject a few penicillins into the patient, maybe it can quickly alleviate the condition.
"Brother Xiao, then please come with me, I'm afraid it's too late." Maybe it was because of his grandmother's illness, Asika didn't have time to think about it, and he didn't care whether Xiao Jian was a pharmacist or not if he could cure his grandmother's illness, and when he heard him say that there was a way, he hurriedly spoke.
"This ......" Seeing that Xiao Jian said that there was a way, Amu couldn't help but look at Xiao Jian with hope in his eyes. But when he thought that Xiao still had injuries on his body, he hesitated and said, "Brother Xiao, you still have injuries on your body, and you will definitely not be able to go far, why don't you tell me the treatment method and let me bring the medicine over?"
"I'll go with you, it's important to save people, I'm afraid you won't be able to learn how to use this medicine at once. "Although the use of penicillin is simple, it is completely new to this world and for Amu, he can't even use a syringe, rather than spending time here to teach him how to dispense medicine and how to inject patients, it is better to run by himself to save time.
"But. Can you really walk that far with your injury?" Amu was still a little uneasy.
"It's nothing, it's important to save people. Amu, you go and get the first aid kit in my package, let's pack it up and leave immediately. ”
