"Heart-thought-thing-done!" Chris shouted out his good mood at the moment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Echoes rang out in the valley.
She stood on a ridge high above the sky, with only an inch of space at her feet.
As far as the eye can see, the hills and mountains are endless, and the endless trees seem to be an ocean, with gusts of wind, and the branches swaying with the wind are like waves. Enjoying such a beautiful scenery made Chris very excited.
A few days ago, the old man offered to teach her light exercises, which made Chris excited. Wouldn't it be nice if you learned light skills and could fly high and walk low like them?
Before leaving the hut, the old man also called Xiong Daiying, and the three of them came to a clearing by the Bianhe River.
The old man said: "This set of light exercises, I call it 'mayfly step'." Now I'll teach you the mantra. ā
Xiong Dai Ying said in his heart, the old man took us to the wilderness, this mantra is a secret that is not passed on in his sect, and it must be easy not to show outsiders; ā
The old man laughed and said, "You don't have to!" Xiong Daiying was stunned for a moment, and the old man continued, "This set of mental methods, although the mantra is easy to learn, but the exercises are difficult, it talks about a comprehension, and grasps a feeling; even if you understand the mantra and can't understand the trick yourself, I'm afraid it will have nothing to do with my exercises." Dai Ying, if you can understand some doorways, then you are also destined to be a person, how about I give you a gift, old man?"
Next, the old man recited aloud a mantra. Seeing that the old man looked full of confidence, Chris quipped, "You are so sure that I have a fate with you, and I will definitely learn?"
The old man said lightly: "Let you memorize it, and recite the mantra with me." ā
He first asked Chris to memorize the mantra by heart. Chris silently recited it, but after only two times, he had memorized all the mantras. The old man saw that Chris was familiar with it, so he began to explain the mantra sentence by sentence, how to exercise, and how to step. Xiong Daiying also listened carefully on the side, and he finally understood what the old man meant. This light body exercise needs to cooperate with the Taoist internal strength and heart method to be effective, and the footwork is weird, which is completely different from the light skill he has learned, and the master's internal skill is learned from Master Zhang Ruoshui, and it is the same door as the old man, so it is naturally no obstacle to learn.
Chris listened attentively, and immediately asked what he didn't understand, and the old man gave her detailed instructions. Although Xiong Daiying knew that this skill was not suitable for him, he heard many of the old man's opinions on light skills, which made him feel suddenly opened, and he also benefited a lot.
The old man hooked his finger at Xiong Daiying and said, "Boy, you come to arrest me." He motioned for Chris to look closely.
Xiong Daiying knew that the old man had profound skills, and he was lucky enough to catch it at the moment.
Chris saw that the old man was calm and relaxed, taking a few steps at random, and he didn't see any movement, but Xiong Daiying couldn't touch his sleeve.
When he first met the old man, Xiong Daiying had already learned his light skills. At this moment, he did everything he could, but he couldn't even touch the corner of the old man's clothes! He secretly paid close attention, and finally found that every time he was about to grab the old man's sleeve, the old man's body would suddenly dodge, just avoiding his hand, and then flashed back to the same place, so fast that the old man seemed to others to be strolling leisurely, and his body did not make any other movements. Xiong Daiying couldn't help but admire in his heart, this kind of light work is really shocking!
Chris was even more dumbfounded on the side, and said in his heart: It's amazing, if you have this magic skill, if you encounter danger in the future, even if you can't beat it, it will be easy to escape.
Xiong Daiying is first-class in the shadow guard, and he is good at flashing and moving small kung fu, the old man asked Xiong Daiying to catch him, intending to demonstrate light skills to Chris, and also wanted him to accompany Chris to practice.
Next, it was Chris who tried to catch Xiong Daiying.
What seemed so simple just now is something else to do. Chris was sweating profusely, but he couldn't even touch the corner of Xiong Daiying's clothes.
The old man leaned under the tree, quietly closed his eyes, and his indifferent appearance made Chris grit his teeth and think: Everyone who is a master is like an uncle, and I will also accept an apprentice in the future.
It was a hot and humid day in June, and Chris's clothes were already soaked with sweat.
She stopped with Xiong Daiying, squatted down to the water's edge and wet the handkerchief, ready to wipe the sweat.
Just as she looked up, she saw a large white flake of snow floating on the water, flying up and down.
When I looked closely, the pile of snowflakes turned out to be a swarm of flying insects.
The snow-like swarm of insects in June is mayflies.
Mayflies live by the water, in spring and summer, and in the afternoon and evening, they pair up in streams. The literati used the phrase "life and death" to describe this beautiful and primitive insect, lamenting the shortness of its life.
The old man said that this set of exercises is called mayfly step, and he thought that he realized this set of footwork from the flying, climbing, and floating posture of the mayfly. Chris suddenly understood the old man's intention of bringing him to the water's edge, he must have wanted to allow himself to observe and experience the movements of the mayfly, so that he could comprehend it more quickly.
Chris was observing the mayflies flying in the air, while meditating on the mantra that the old man had taught her, and suddenly, for some reason, the image in front of her froze...... No, not frozen, but like the slow motion of a high-speed camera, the mayfly not only flew unusually slowly, but the picture was magnified countless times, and Chris could even clearly see the web-like veins on the transparent wings behind each mayfly.
"Mayflies dig and read, and the linen clothes are like snow. Chris repeated the obscure words in the mantra, and the intuitive image made her realize something, she stood up and said to Xiong Daiying, "Daiying, let's continue!"
According to the old man's method of vomiting, she carried out the light gong heart method. It was a little jerky at first, but gradually, my feet became more and more flexible.
Chris's movements quickly caught the old man's attention. He sat up, watched Chris's every move from a distance, and nodded secretly, in just two hours, it is rare to have such a feeling, it seems that the villain has some fate with this exercise. He walked up to them, and when he saw that Chris was once again thrown far away by Xiong Daiying, he shook his head and said with a smile: "My chic and elegant footwork makes you practice like a thief." ā
At this time, while thinking about the method of exercising, Chris had to pay attention to the footwork under his feet, and deliberately imitated the movements of the mayfly, which naturally looked very jerky and not as leisurely as the old man.
The old man held out his hand to Chris and said, "Come!" Chris rolled up his sleeves and reached out to take his big palm.
There was a cold breath from the palms that fit together, and Chris was surprised: "Why do you also have cold breath?"
The old man smiled and said, "I told you that our Xuanzhen Sect and the Cave Spirit Sect are both Taoists, and the Ring Cold Body Protection is just a small skill for carving insects!"
Chris said in his heart: "Huanhan Protector" was actually said by you to be a carving insect skill, are you belittled in disguise?
In fact, the old man's words are not exaggerated, the "natural way" of the Xuanzhen school, with the law of nature as the mind, is the best practice of the unity of heaven and man. Therefore, it is not difficult for them to let the true qi running in their bodies carry the ice attribute. At this time, the "Ice Wheel Driving Jade" used by the old man was the same as the internal force used by Yuwen Zhishao to suppress the Tangmen poison when he treated Chris that day, and it can even be said to be more subtle than Zhang Ruoshui's "Ring Cold Body".
The internal force sent from the palm of the hand gradually mixed with Chris's own internal force, and became more and more concentrated. The old man knew that she had not been practicing internal skills for a long time, but he felt that a small amount of internal breath had begun to condense in her body, but these breaths were a little disordered, and she did not know how to control them.
The old man smiled faintly and said in his heart: This little man has such a high level of understanding, no matter how much he talks, it is better to feel it quickly. After thinking about it, he suddenly tapped his feet and pulled Chris to move: "You can close your eyes and feel it!"
Chris obediently closed his eyes.
Xiong Daiying saw two figures swept away in the wind, his figure was ethereal, and his wide sleeves were flying.
Chris felt as light as nothing, and even the footwork under his feet became easier. At this time, the old man's voice came to his ears again: "All things are one with me, all things are not all things; Out of temptation, the old man said two sentences in the mantra of his own sect, and he wanted to see what kind of qualifications the villain in front of him had.
The cultivation of the internal force of the Xuanzhen School pays attention to the sect of nothingness, which is the supreme and true way, and is the most unfathomable among the four schools of Taoism. Therefore, its requirements for practitioners are also the most demanding, the pursuit of "Dun super straight people". The so-called "straight person" is what the old man called "destined person". Cultivators who are destined must have an epiphany before they can start cultivating and accept the personal transmission of their teacher. "The master leads the door, and the cultivation is in the individual" is just the opposite here in the Xuanzhen School. What makes it different from other schools is the role of the Master. If there is no guidance from the Master, there is no way to cultivate and there is no breakthrough, and only with the blessing of the Master will the cultivation reach a higher level and change with each passing day.
Chris listened to the mantra, her heart moved, she thought carefully about the exercises of the mayfly step, and there were many things that she didn't understand very well, and she immediately comprehended five or six points. Who knew that this distraction, the footwork under his feet immediately became messy. The more anxious you are, the more you can't lift your breath, and the more you can't lift your breath, the tighter your body becomes, and the more you can't keep up with the old man's style.
Suddenly, I heard the old man say aloud: "Things are nothing but others, and things are nothing more than others." If you don't see it, you don't see it, and you know it. Suddenly, a stream of true qi came from the Lao Gong acupoint in the palm of his hand, and he walked along the whole body and walked Zhou Tian. Chris's body only felt as warm as ice, as if warm jade was in his arms, and it was very comfortable. She knew that this was the old man's internal strength to stabilize her mind.
A breeze blew in his face, Chris closed his eyes, his heart was nothing, he naturally raised his head, breathed a long sigh of relief, his body was completely relaxed, and with the help of the old man's hand, he galloped, and the figure of the mayfly dancing in the wind appeared in his mind, and the transparent wings kept trembling.
After a while, a stream of internal breath rose from her Qi Sea Acupoint, and with the support of the old man's internal force, it continued to grow stronger, and soon it was running rapidly in her body. Chris soon felt the change, a wonderful feeling, indescribable, but just like the blood flow is too fast for the heart to bear, she doesn't know if it's good or bad, but nature makes her not deliberately suppress this breath, but let it swim in her body.
The inner breath seemed to cause a sense of force in her body, and Chris didn't know what kind of force it was, but her body became more sensitive, and she could even sense the direction of the stroke in the air. She was at the mercy of this force, and her posture swayed like a light cloud covering the moon, and like a flowing wind returning to snow. When everything is quiet and the wind is clear, I feel that I have no heart and no desire, and the dust is not clean. She seemed to have a wonderful feeling, for the first time in her life, she understood the definition of "nothing", which was not nothing, but more like a state of nothingness, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with her, including breathing.
Her breathing suddenly stopped.
Xiong Daiying looked from afar, only to see the two of them suddenly stop in place and not move at all!
However, the old man beside Chris, the feeling at this time can be described as shock! he felt that the little man's movements were completely different from before, because it was a rhythm, a rhythm produced by the perfect combination of internal force and footwork. At this time, the villain's breathing did not stop, but borrowed his strong internal force to make the breath more long and endless.
Although the villain borrowed his internal strength, for a moment, the old man clearly felt that even he himself might not be able to exert the speed of the mayfly step to such an extent! To be able to comprehend the exercises to such a point in such a short period of time can really be said to be extremely high.
A slight breeze blew in his face, and two crisp sounds came from behind him, like the sound of waving a shepherd's whip.
The old man narrowed his eyes, and in a flash, he vaguely saw a pair of wings behind the little man, trembling slightly.
In an instant, the wings were gone. The little man actually showed a vision.
What surprised the old man even more was that the internal breath that had accumulated in the little man's body was not one, but two! These two internal breaths were intertwined together, becoming more and more vigorous; later, the stronger internal breath melted into the dantian acupoint in the abdomen, and then disappeared without a trace.
Can you make the internal force "nothing"?
It seems that the villain is indeed destined, and he is naturally suitable for practicing the "natural way" of his own school, and it is a pity that such a gifted person is not accepted into the sect?
The old man retracted his gaze, withdrew the internal force in his palm, and his eyes fell on the little face that was a little ruddy, although he was ecstatic in his heart, his face did not show any hint, he said indifferently: "You have some understanding, practice yourself!"
After a few hours, Chris's footwork was as light as the wind, and although it could not be compared with the old man's agile body, he had learned it well. Xiong Daiying couldn't believe why the master learned so quickly, and the old man didn't seem surprised at all, he seemed to be sure that the master was destined for him from the beginning. Xiong Daiying sighed secretly in his heart, this Xuanzhen School's martial arts are really mysterious.
For the next few days, Chris practiced light skills by constantly chasing Xiong Daiying, a game that made her addicted. Today, the two of you chased after me, and went out of the grass hut to the back mountain. Seeing the beautiful scenery in the mountain, she suddenly had the idea of climbing to the top of the mountain and looking far away.
Looking at the verdant in front of him, Chris sighed: "It's so beautiful!"
Now, with light power, it is easy to get a view that was previously only seen in a helicopter.
"Now is the time to be green. Xiong Daiying agreed, to be honest, he had never paid attention to the beauty of this land before, let alone appreciated it.
The two stood on the top of the cliff together, enjoying the beautiful scenery between the green mountains and green valleys.
Chris glanced at Xiong Daiying next to him, he was in a sturdy figure, outside the black night clothes, wearing a navy blue Western-style slim coat, the edge of the hem was embroidered with gold thread three groups of Chinese-style "pair of brocade weeping lotus", Chris's mouth "Western Regions mix and match style" and Xiong Daiying's short hair style is very consistent, Chris personally designed this costume, so that the tailor and embroidery lady of the Gao family courtyard made it specially.
She was quite satisfied with the results of Xiong Daiying's clothing transformation, leaving only the black mask on her face full of disobedience.
Chris's eyes rolled and he was concerned.
"Dai Ying, you take off that veil, I want to see your face. ā
Xiong Daiying couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, "This can't be done, I am the master's shadow guard, and I have lost my identity." ā
Chris smiled: "I told you, I don't call the master, I'm called Ouyang Feng now." You are younger than me, you have to call me Brother Feng. Now, you're my friend, not my shadow guard, so you don't need to bring that. ā
"Peak...... Brother Feng. Xiong Daiying knew that she couldn't beat her master, if she didn't call her so, it was estimated that she would be able to lose her temper for a few days.
"Well, that's pretty much it, and the one on the face, picked up!" Chris crossed his waist with an aggressive look.
"Many people in the rivers and lakes like to cover their faces with black veils, especially those in the Western Regions, because if you want to cross the desert, the veil is also a must-have, so let me keep it. Xiong Daiying was taken badly, and he even learned to mess with her.
Chris said without giving up: "That's it, it's limited to three days, if I can catch up with you, you have to take off the veil, let me see the true face of Lushan, if the time is up, I can't catch you, even if I lose, I'll give you something you choose, you can do whatever you want, what do you think?"
"Brother Feng spoke, and it became more and more flavorful. Xiong Daiying thought to himself: Since the master learned light skills, he is a little competitive and always wants to compete with others. However, although he thought so, he did not dare to say so.
"Don't ramble, are you afraid?"
"That'...... Just give it a try...... Give it a try?"
Chris rolled up her sleeves and looked eager to try, and she suddenly remembered: "Oh no, I patronized and talked, and forgot to get down to business." ā
The old man said that the fairy benefactor was coming today, and Chris took the bow and wanted to hunt some game for him and the old man to drink.
She immediately turned her head, like a falcon hovering in the sky, looking for a hunting ground. In modern times, Chris is a person who hunts for fun, and she began to learn hunting techniques from her grandfather at a very young age, especially the forest. So, she recognized the place where the forest belt began to change, where the evergreen pines and cypresses were mixed, and some other tree species gradually began to appear, and there it was easy to hunt pheasants.
She pointed to Xiong Daiying and said, "Let's see who gets there first." ā
After speaking, she was just about to turn around, when she found that Xiong Daiying beside her had long since disappeared. I suddenly felt bad in my heart, didn't I talk too early just now, and after three days, can I catch up?
Don't forget that Xiong Daiying is also a person who practices martial arts, so he will naturally compete to win and be strong, and he is also very unwilling to see that Chris learns light skills quickly. Today, I actually stepped up my feet and made ten successes.
