0012 Five Elements Swordsmanship
Feng Taiji was the last to reach the beach, and many yellow-robed teenagers had gathered on the boulder by the sea, talking about it. And the young man in the white, cyan, and gray robes was no longer visible, and they had obviously dived into the sea.
"As outstanding disciples of the mountains and islands of the East China Sea, you don't even have the courage to fly into the sea, what kind of face do you have to enter my Penglai Immortal Sect?
Feng Taiji also shook his head after seeing it, and some understood why the Penglai Immortal Church listed the disciples recruited as three, six, nine, and so on, and some people did disgrace the remote island.
After the confessors were angry, finally many yellow-robed people plunged into the sea, and Feng Taiji also jumped up lightly, plunging into the rolling waves. At this time, a group of yellow thunderbirds in the sky swooped down, picked up the young man who had not jumped into the sea after three breaths, and waved his wings and instantly volleyed away.
"Brother Feng, you can open your eyes, hehe!" Qingluan's mischievous laughter rang out.
Although Feng Taiji jumped into the sea with a hard head, he was still a little afraid, and he could see the clue from his closed eyes. Hearing Qingluan's laughter, he slowly opened his eyes. I just felt that my eyes were bright, and the underwater world I saw in front of me seemed to be different from what I imagined.
The deep sea should be dark and dark, but it is brightly lit, dotted with colorful corals, and all kinds of shellfish, starfish, and seaweed are all over the water. Colourful fish weave back and forth among the drifting seaweeds, which is a delight to behold. In addition, there are countless turtles, shrimps, sea crabs and other species mixed in.
"This sea area is the testing ground of the Penglai Sect, which is naturally different from other places, but if you want to complete the task of capturing dragons of the first and second ranks, you have to continue to go deeper. Qingluan was at a loss when he saw Feng Taiji, and hurriedly reminded.
Feng Taiji smiled awkwardly, although he had dealt with the sea all year round, but because he had experienced how terrifying the power of nature was, he had a sense of awe. It is still difficult to overcome this psychological pressure in a short period of time.
However, he soon got used to the feeling of being under the sea and learned to swim in the sea as much as he wanted. Along the way, I began to see several yellow-robed teenagers, desperately chasing fish, but they looked very clumsy in the seawater, and were teased by small fish. Some people couldn't even hold their breath, so they had to give up the chase and rise to the sea in embarrassment.
"Qingwa'er, why don't I feel breathing in the water at all?" Feng Taiji saw the predicament of others, and suddenly remembered why he didn't have such a problem.
"I don't know, although the Sea Qi Holding Technique is the most subtle spell, but you really haven't practiced it, why do you seem to know it all for a long time?"
"And spells like that, how do you know that?"
"Don't ask, I just know anyway. I also know that most of those white-robed people come from famous families, and they have all learned the art of holding their breath since childhood, and they are as comfortable in the sea as they are on the earth. Even those in cyan or gray robes are equipped with ritual weapons to help them hold their breath. Qingluan replied.
"I see! No wonder the assessment of the first and second grades is to catch the fish, which seems to be the most difficult, but in fact, for them, the catch in the sea is not much different from the land hunting. But a yellow-robed person like me can't breathe in the sea for a long time, and even fishing is even more difficult. The confusion in Feng Taiji's heart was finally solved.
The fish saw Feng Taiji and fled for nowhere, as if they knew that this was someone who could threaten them.
Feng Taiji smiled and ignored it, his goal was not to get these fish at his fingertips, but to capture and kill the dragon with his own hands, just like the white-robed man.
As we continued to move forward, the light dimmed, and gray-robed figures appeared in twos and threes. They looked at Feng Taiji with strange eyes, because the latter's earthy yellow robes were very dazzling here.
"Boy, this is not the place for you!" someone shouted angrily, as if Feng Taiji's appearance was a great insult to them.
"Is this your home?" Qingluan retorted as he stood on top of Feng Taiji's head.
"How daring!" The man was robbed of white by a cyan bird, and instantly felt that he couldn't get over his face. However, he was also domineering, and he didn't agree with a word, so he pulled out a short sword and stabbed it at Feng Taiji.
Feng Taiji only felt a powerful wave of qi coming straight towards him, and before he knew how to deal with it, Qingluan had already attacked like a flying sword. Qingluan will not fall behind even in the face of Ao Yan, this gray-robed person is not her one-in-one. A series of muffled sounds were heard, and the man who drew his sword flew upside down, blood spurting out of his mouth in a strange curve in the seawater.
Qingluan struck a blow and quickly retreated to Feng Taiji's shoulder, motionless. This confrontation was completed between lightning and flint, and in the eyes of others, it was not Qingluan who shot just now, but Feng Taiji, who looked unfathomable and light.
"Everyone, my name is Feng Taiji, and I have no malicious intent, it was this benevolent brother who made the first move just now, and I was just defending myself!" Feng Taiji hugged his fists and explained to the people around him, in fact, it was okay for him not to speak, but it gave people a sense of incomprehension.
"Brother Feng, let's go!" Qingluan urged in a low voice, looking a little anxious.
One person and one bird continued to march towards the deep sea, and when they saw that those gray-robed ones were gone, Qingluan breathed a sigh of relief. Although the gray-robed person is not as strong as her, he can also be regarded as a young talent from various mountain islands in the East China Sea, in case they rush up, the consequences are unpredictable.
"Now that you know you're scared, you still have to be cautious in the future, don't offend people easily!" Feng Taiji patted Qingluan's little head and said with a smile.
"Hehe, Brother Feng, what is in your sleeve?" Qingluan said mysteriously.
Feng Taiji stretched out his hand and touched it, and there was indeed something in the long sleeve, which turned out to be a short sword and an animal skin. This short sword is very familiar, isn't it the gray-robed young man who had just had a conflict? And there are a few drawings on the animal skin, and I don't know what it is.
"Although this fishbone sword is not a treasure, it is also sharp and strong, if you want to capture and kill the dragon, you can't fight empty-handed! This picture should be a set of swordsmanship, although it is very superficial, but it should be able to help you complete this assessment, you want to learn it!" Qingluan said, you don't have to thank me for your pride.
"How can you steal other people's property at will?" Feng Taiji was shocked, but he didn't expect Qingluan to take the sheep by the hand.
"There is a fish in the East China Sea, very fierce, called Ju Thorn, its bones are sharp, it is an excellent material for making fish bone swords, and its skin is blue-black, soft and tough, and it is not easy to break. This fish is extremely difficult to tame, and only by killing it can you get its bones and skin. Qingluan held his head high, dissatisfied with Feng Taiji's blame.
"You mean, that person killed Ju Thorn to make this sword, and we can be regarded as avenging Ju Thorn by taking his sword?" Feng Taiji looked at the short sword in his hand and the blue-black fish skin, and said with a squint.
"Hehe, if you are smart, I have already seen the Ju Thorn Sword in his hand, this is called the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind! Brother Feng, further forward should be the area where the two disciples of Bing Ding and the second rank capture the snake, those people are not as easy to deal with as the gray-robed ones. Let's hide first, learn the swordsmanship on the fishskin, and then it's not too late to go to the challenge. "Qingluan has a quirky personality, but his mind is quite meticulous.
At this point, Feng Taiji is not a pedantic person, if he wants to gain a firm foothold in the Penglai Immortal Sect, this assessment cannot be missed, he and Qingluan found a hidden coral cave, and began to practice the swordsmanship on the fish skin.
There is no writing on the skin, no name, just five drawings with simple lines. Feng Taiji grinds every painting, even every stroke, but nothing is gained.
"It seems to be a five-element diagram!" Qingluan only said this sentence after observing it for a long time, but he didn't understand it again.
As soon as the five elements came out, Feng Taiji seemed to comprehend a trace of the essence in an instant, and hurriedly took the fish skin from Qingluan's hand and pondered it carefully. The original simple and rough lines slowly became clear, and the strokes became extremely smooth, like a flowing picture, slowly unfolding.
Feng Taiji unconsciously pulled out his sword, and according to the trend on the picture, he practiced one move at a time. Then the movement becomes faster and faster, the organization becomes clearer and clearer, and finally it is like a splash of ink, all in one go.
Qingluan watched stupidly from the sidelines, and actually entered the realm of selflessness, and only when Feng Taiji's flawless movements were exhausted did she wake up from her fugue.
"Brother Feng, this set of Five Elements swordsmanship has been completed, I have already memorized it all, but it seems to contain deeper mysteries, wait for it to ponder slowly in the future, this time I really picked up the treasure! With this set of swordsmanship, this assessment will definitely be successfully passed!" Qingluan changed his naughty personality and said unwillingly.
"Okay, then let's go and see what the dragon looks like!" Feng Taiji was also very excited, he always felt that there was infinite energy in his body before, but there was no way to stimulate it at all, after this set of swordsmanship was completed, he seemed to have found some tricks.
