Chapter 16: Famous Ji Yue'er
Few people in the Xiongnu know that when Zarhan was young, he used to worship the high priest as a teacher and learn martial arts, and did not leave until he grew up. From this point of view, when the Holy Maiden of the Black Heaven Sect saw him, she should also call him "Senior Brother".
Although he couldn't learn the core inheritance of the Black Heaven Sect, the Great Black Heaven Moro Secret Codex, the High Priest, as a world-famous great master, naturally couldn't have nothing to teach. What Zarhan learned was a set of kung fu called "Eagle Yang Thirteen Uniques", which is a set of claw methods derived from the shape of the eagle, which is fierce and fierce, and the person who created this skill was a very famous master of the Xiongnu decades ago.
As for the spy network that the high priest had set up in the Chu State more than ten years ago, it was certainly impossible for Zarhan not to know. Thanks to the information sent by these spies, he led his troops to fight against the Chu army, and won several beautiful battles. But what he didn't expect was that the high priest actually sent the Holy Maiden whose status was second only to him in the Black Heaven Sect over, which was a bit of a big game.
In case it is discovered by the people of Chu, there will definitely be countless masters who will kill it and use the head of the Xiongnu saintess to pave the ladder to the sky for themselves. Such a scene makes him shudder when he thinks about it.
Moreover, in the current situation, it doesn't make much sense for the Holy Maiden to stay in the Chu State anymore. The Black Celestial Cult had to put an end to this leaderless situation, and after he became a lone plow, the excitement and satisfaction only stayed in his heart for a short time, and then it was replaced by a sense of unease and crisis. In the face of the aggressive Emperor Yuanwu, he needed to integrate all the forces of the Xiongnu.
At the request of Zarhan, the priest of the Black Heaven Sect promised to find a way to inform the Holy Maiden and let her rush back as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation, but when the Holy Maiden would get the news, he had no way to guarantee.
Although Zarhan really wanted to see this junior sister who he hadn't seen for many years, he also understood that this was not realistic, so he had to press his urgency and wait patiently.

Youzhou, in the city of Daijun.
The noisy streets are crowded with people, and from time to time there are vendors carrying all kinds of snacks along the streets. The best seller is ice porridge, which is a very simple snack that involves boiling grains such as rice or mung beans into porridge, adding sugar to it until it is soft, and then placing it in a deep well with cold well water.
This is equivalent to modern ice cream, which is very popular with people on hot summer days, and a small bowl is only 5 cents anyway, which is not too expensive.
Cheng Kun was holding such a bowl of ice porridge in his hand at this time, and he was very satisfied with this rare coolness. He was not walking on the street alone, behind him, Deng Xiaoxian and Fang Han both looked at Cheng Kun in front of him a little speechlessly, there was only one reason, this was already the third bowl of ice porridge that Cheng Kun had eaten.
They didn't expect that Cheng Kun, who was domineering and leaking in the ring, was actually a loyal sweet party in life. In this regard, Fang Han, who is a member of the Xian Party, said that this person should be dragged out and beheaded......
It was the day after the Recruit Contest ended.
After the recruit competition, the Iron Bull instructor gave everyone three days off. Almost everyone ran out to have fun for themselves, and the military camp was very close to the county seat of Daijun, which was the largest city in Youzhou, and there were many places for everyone to play in the county town.
But Cheng Kun didn't go out on the first day, and got two new martial arts cheats from the Tie Niu instructor, his heart was itching, how could he have the heart to go out to play. Moreover, for a person like him who has "seen the big world", the entertainment of this era is lackluster.
Therefore, Cheng Kun spent the first day on practice. In this regard, Deng Xiaoxian expressed his admiration, and he asked himself if he could do this. From the first time he met Cheng Kun in Jinyang County to the present, he hasn't seen each other resting much, and he starts practicing every day when he opens his eyes. Diligence to this extent cannot be explained by simple perseverance. In addition to this, it is also necessary to have a love for martial arts from the heart.
However, Cheng Kun spent a whole day and found nothing. Whether it is "The Law of Heaven and Earth" or "Glimpse of Floating Light", he is at a loss. When it got dark, he finally reluctantly admitted that he had regarded these two martial arts as too simple.
The biggest obstacle in front of him was that the control of the true qi in his body was not subtle enough.
The purpose of the "Heaven and Earth Penetration" is to use true qi to open up some small veins in the brain, so as to achieve the purpose of refining the eyes and ears.
These meridians are all extremely slender, compared to the twelve meridians that are as wide as the highway, they are simply sheep's intestines, and the feeling of difficulty in which the true qi runs in it is needless to say. The most important thing is that the brain where they are located is the vital part of the human body. In the process of cultivation, if one accidentally uses too much force and breaks the extremely fragile meridians, only God knows what serious consequences will be.
It was precisely because of this potential risk that Cheng Kun was tied up when he was cultivating, and after a few hours, the consumption of his mind was so great that he could only give up temporarily.
In comparison, "Glimpse of Light" is not much better. This light skill is divided into two parts: the floating light, and the glimpse. The former can greatly increase the speed of the warrior and is more suitable for long-distance running, while the latter is closer to the transformation of body methods such as flashing, turning, soaring, and moving in a small area.
It's just that when this martial art is performed, it is necessary to stimulate the acupuncture points on the feet and legs with true qi at all times, and it is also an operation to eat "micro exercises".
Cheng Kuntuo's peculiar foundation building blessing when he cultivated the Iron Cloak Technique three years ago has always been very strong in controlling the true qi in his body, but he found that this level is still completely not enough when cultivating these two new martial arts!
However, if you want to control the true qi in detail, you have to go through a long period of training, and it is impossible to improve it in a short period of time. This also means that Cheng Kun's original plan to succeed in cultivating within three days of the holiday has completely failed, and there is no way to achieve it overnight, so he can only spend time improving his proficiency little by little.
Therefore, on the second day of the holiday, when Deng Xiaoxian and Fang Han came over to persuade him to take a rest, Cheng Kun, who had become idle, immediately agreed, and he answered so simply that Deng Xiaoxian was a little confused, he didn't have any hope.
Fang Han glanced at Deng Xiaoxian with puzzled eyes, isn't he very invited...... Deng Xiaoxian just smiled bitterly after seeing it, thinking in his heart, could it be that the way I invited me yesterday was wrong?
When the sun was about to set, the three of them came to a restaurant and sat down. The shopkeeper came up quickly, wiped the already clean table again, and then asked Fang Han, who was the best dressed: "What do you want to order a few guest officers, we have a lot of famous here, like ......" The shopkeeper who couldn't slip away opened his mouth and reported a string of dish names, most of the names Cheng Kun had heard of for the first time.
After Fang Han listened, he groaned and replied, "The three of us are eating here for the first time, and we don't know each other very well, so you can bring the signature dishes in the store." ”
Xiao Er responded directly, turned around and reported a few names like the kitchen, and then went to greet the other guests.
The dish was served quickly, and Cheng Kun felt that the taste was okay after tasting it. Although there are not so many condiments, the taste of the food itself is enough under the chef's exquisite craftsmanship.
This time is the time of day, and the tables in the restaurant are basically full. A group of people drank wine and ate food, but did not delay in speaking. As often depicted in martial arts novels, in such an environment, it is easy to get a lot of information, as long as your ears are sensitive enough.
Out of curiosity, Cheng Kun listened intently for a while, and found that although this group of diners had everything, they were basically discussing the same topic at this time - the sword dance of Miss Yue'er.
According to these people, this woman with the stage name Yue'er came to Dai County two years ago and lived in the largest green building in the city, Wanhualou. Soon after, the woman became famous in the city.
The reason is also very simple, she was born extremely beautiful, and there is a trace of charm hidden in her pure temperament, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is sinking into a fish and a goose.
Those who were lucky enough to see her face were mesmerized. However, those who want to spend a lot of money on Fangze are all gone. Just because this woman did not sell herself in Wanhualou, she only lived here temporarily, and she could leave at any time if she wanted to. Therefore, the people of Wanhualou had no way to force her to pick up customers.
When the news broke, many people were disappointed. Only what you can't get is the best, and in this way, this woman's reputation is getting louder and louder.
is not a showman, Yue'er naturally has her own unique skills.
What she is best at is dance, the dances of all parts of the Chu Kingdom, the dances of the Huns, and even the dances of the legendary aliens in the far west. And among these dances, she herself is most proud of the sword dance.
Splendid beauty, holding Qingfeng, singing and dancing, this picture is indeed extremely beautiful. In the past two years, Yue'er would dance a sword dance in Wanhualou every few months. Every time, it is a crowd of spectators, and it has almost become a festival in the town of Daigun. According to the grapevine, even the county keeper had seen it once in disguise, and he was also full of praise.
And today is the day when Yue'er is ready to dance again. The news came out by Wanhualou a few days ago, and everyone in the city was looking forward to it.
............
After Cheng Kun learned about it, he was a little surprised, this is simply an ancient star.
He asked Fang Han if he had heard of this woman named Yue'er, and Fang Han said with certainty that he had never heard of this name before. Both of them were very interested in this woman, so they decided to go to Wanhualou together after dinner to see the rare sword dance in the mouths of these people. For this decision, Deng Xiaoxian of course raised his hands in agreement.
After eating, the three of them came to Wanhualou together.
As the largest fireworks place in the city, Wanhualou can't see the fat powder that ordinary Qinglou can't erase from the outside. On the contrary, its decoration is very elegant, and there are no turtles and ** that are often seen in costume TV dramas standing at the door, only two handsome little guys.
After one person paid two hundred dollars, the three of them walked into the building. It is divided into three floors. There are the most people on the first floor, and the open space is almost full, these people are all here to watch the sword dance, and Yue'er's fame is even more exaggerated than Cheng Kun imagined. The second floor is a stage for performances, and the third floor is a room specially arranged for people of status, and the view is also the best.
The performance is scheduled for the evening (17:00~19:00). After waiting patiently for nearly an hour, the sound of the piano suddenly sounded on the second floor, and Cheng Kun couldn't tell what song was played. After hearing this song, the crowd that had been noisy suddenly stopped talking and turned their eyes to the stage.
Cheng Kun felt something, and also looked at the stage built on the second floor. I saw that a curtain was lifted, and a beautiful woman dressed in white and holding a sheathed sword finally stepped on the beat of the music.
