Chapter 80: Vultures
When Zhou Jinyu woke up, the sky was already dawning, and because the water vapor in the mountain stream was too heavy, his clothes were always wet and extremely uncomfortable.
Zhou Jinyu was so hungry that he had to find something to eat anyway, even if he was poisoned by eating something poisonous, it was more comfortable than starving to death.
Zhou Jinyu stood up in a daze, he looked around, and suddenly found that there were many heart-shaped leaves in the grass, and the flowers were small and dense. He suddenly came to his senses, walked forward quickly, sniffed with his nose, and smelled a faint fishy smell.
You can't be wrong, this is Houttuynia cordata, and people in the south also call this grass the root of the folded ear. The roots of this grass are edible as is.
Zhou Jinyu didn't recognize this kind of grass, and on the way to the south, Lin Leier always liked to order a dish called "cold salad folded ear root".
Zhou Jin asked Lin Lei'er out of curiosity why she always eats this, can't she get tired of eating it? Lin Lei'er said that there are many such grasses growing in her hometown, and her grandmother can make Houttuynia cordata into various flavors, and she can't help but miss the taste of her hometown after being away from home for so long.
Lin Leier will also give Zhou Jinyu the appearance and smell of Houttuynia cordata, which was an unintentional move, but she didn't expect that now she has solved her urgent need.
Where can Zhou Jinyu think about it, he immediately dug up a large handful of Houttuynia cordata, cut off the leaves with a sword, leaving only the grass roots, and then went to the lake to soak it indiscriminately and stuffed it into his mouth, not caring about what it tasted like.
After eating a handful and digging again, I found mint leaves by the way, and eating these two wild vegetables together is a delicacy.
Zhou Jinyu gradually filled her stomach, and her attention was focused on the hundreds of sword-dancing villains on the huge stone slab under the water.
He kept seeing the sun move overhead, but he still didn't see any doorways, and there was no connection between each of these sword moves.
Could it be that these sword styles are not complete? are just random moves in a set of advanced swordsmanship?
But what set of swordsmanship can have more than 100 moves that have not yet been exhausted?
Zhou Jinyu had to watch it again from beginning to end.
Although there is no connection between the sword styles, each sword style is extremely exquisite, the direction and strength of the move are just right, and each move is attacked by the vital part that the opponent has to save.
After reading one hundred and one moves, Zhou Jinyu suddenly found that this set of swordsmanship was only offensive, and there was no half-move defense.
No matter how subtle this swordsmanship is, it will inevitably reveal flaws.
Could it be that every move of this sword technique can kill someone?
Zhou Jinyu thought secretly: "Even if you can't comprehend the essence of this sword technique, even if you learn the light footwork in it, it's good." So he rehearsed the posture of the villain on the stone slab.
Zhou Jinyu only practiced footwork but did not practice sword moves, and walked down one hundred and one steps, but he felt that the dantian qi was full, and his whole body was hot.
When I walked again in accordance with the law, the clothes on my body actually dried by myself.
Zhou Jinyu was overjoyed, he didn't expect this light skill footwork to have such a miraculous effect, presumably the sword technique was not idle, and he immediately picked up the sword, regardless of whether the sword moves were coherent or not, just did the same.
After a few years of practice, Zhou Jinyu has found that this footwork is integrated with sword moves, and every move can seize the opportunity, and there is no need to defend the sword killing move at all.
Zhou Jinyu suddenly understood that the real superb swordsmanship lies in the sword intent and not in the sword moves, although the sword moves on the boulder are chaotic and there is no connection between the moves, but every seemingly ordinary sword move contains unfathomable sword intent.
Anticipate the enemy's sword intent.
Feel free sword intent.
One hundred and one sword moves, one hundred and one killing moves.
The white horse passed through the gap, and ten days had passed in a blink of an eye, and on the tenth day, he saw that Zhou Jinyu had nothing to do except practice swords every day, practicing from sunrise to late at night.
Only when you practice physically and mentally can you not worry about the situation of Lan Yaqiu and Lin Lei'er all the time, because you really can't find a way to go up the mountain.
In the past ten days, Zhou Jinyu has already mastered the sword moves on the boulder. The strange thing is that no matter how wet it is in the mountain stream, Zhou Jinyu's clothes are also dry, he only feels energetic, and he doesn't feel tired no matter how he practices the sword.
So, he practiced even more crazily.
On this day, Zhou Jinyu picked mint leaves, dug up some folded ear roots and washed them in the lake water, but his sword was placed on the shore.
Suddenly, with a shrill cry, a black-brown vulture, spreading its feathers and revealing a pair of iron hook-like claws, swooped down from the sky.
Zhou Jinyu knew that vultures had always fed on dead bodies and carrion, and rarely attacked healthy animals, so she was not too nervous.
Unexpectedly, the vulture rushed straight down towards Zhou Jinyu.
Zhou Jinyu was about to pick up the sword and slash, but the vulture's iron hook-like claws went straight to the Chengying Sword on the shore and grabbed the sword before Zhou Jinyu.
This sword is an ancient famous sword, and it was given by the predecessor Ye Can, where is Zhou Jinyu willing to let the vulture easily snatch it.
In a hurry, he jumped up and wanted to snatch the sword back, but unexpectedly, the vulture seemed to have guessed Zhou Jinyu's thoughts, and suddenly sped up to get rid of Zhou Jinyu's momentum and flew straight to the cliff.
Zhou Jinyu didn't think much about it, so she grabbed the vines on the cliff with a leap, and chased the vulture with her feet on the slippery cliff.
Zhou Jinyu used both hands and feet, extremely fast, following the vulture's upward momentum, he didn't lose the wind at all, but it was difficult to free his hand to snatch the sword in the vulture's claws.
Under the mountain stream, I saw Zhou Jinyu rushing straight out of the clouds and mist, pulling the vines with both hands, walking on the cliff as if walking on the ground, and the speed was equal to that of a vulture.
In an instant, the vulture had already flown out of the mountain stream, and was about to speed up and fly away into the distance, but unexpectedly, a person flew out from behind him, that person was Zhou Jinyu, his long arm stretched out, and before the vulture accelerated, he actually tore off the sword in the vulture's claws, rolled in the air, and landed firmly on the ground.
The vulture did not snatch back, but screamed, flew straight into the distance, and disappeared into the dense forest in an instant.
Zhou Jinyu looked at the grass under his feet, and then looked down the mountain stream, only to feel that he was like a world away, he actually jumped over the straight cliff, and returned to the place where he fell into the mountain stream.
Zhou Jinyu didn't expect that he had already learned excellent light skills, and climbing over such a slippery and straight cliff was like walking on the ground, so it seemed that the sword moves on the boulder were really wonderful.
Zhou Jinyu couldn't care about joy, after all, it had been ten days since she fell into the mountain stream, how would Lan Yaqiu and Lin Lei'er comfort her in these ten days? Who was the woman in pink? Why did she slap herself into the mountain stream with one palm? Where would she take Lin Lei'er and Lan Yaqiu?
Zhou Jinyu didn't take a moment to rest, and hurriedly walked to the three thatched huts in the forest.
Zhou Jinyu only felt energetic, his steps were light, and his heart was anxious, and he walked like a fly, and in a moment, he arrived at the grass hut.
However, around the thatched hut stood more than a dozen black-clothed men in black clothes and black hats holding steel forks, exactly the same as the four black-clothed men who had been killed by a knife before.
However, one of the men in black did not wear a hat, he had his back to Zhou Jinyu, and he had more than ten small twisted braids on his head, each of which was tied with a small red and yellow rope, and he carried a copper rod more than one person long on his back.
Presumably they are also Miao Wang's people.
But how could King Miao's people appear here?
Could it be that the woman in pink with severe burns was also a member of King Miao, so why did she kill her?
