Chapter Twenty-Five: The Shadow of the Snake in the Mountains
The meridians are intertwined in a person's body, controlling every subtle movement. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The reason why people who practice martial arts are more flexible and more powerful than ordinary people is that they use their internal forces to drive the movement of the meridians.
Normal people's internal force is evenly distributed in the major meridians of the body, the internal force is not static, it can flow between the meridians, but the whole will maintain a dynamic balance, that is, it is impossible to have more internal force distributed in the meridians of the hands and less internal force distributed in the meridians of the feet. The highly skilled healer can use the silver needle puncture method to promote the internal force to gather in one place for a short time, so as to enhance the explosive power and mobility of the martial artist. But this method belongs to the upper level of the medical field, and I didn't expect Xia Xue to know a thing or two at a young age.
At the moment of crisis, Xia Xue used the silver needle to puncture the point to cause Qin Hexuan's internal force to accumulate between his feet, so that when he was about to be hit by the snake's head, he used the spirit monkey maze step with greatly increased speed to avoid the attack, and quickly escaped from the cave.
However, there is a huge flaw in the silver acupuncture point, that is, the effect is short, and when the effect is lost, the meridians at the original internal force concentration will be damaged, thus affecting the normal action.
Not long after leaving the cave, Qin Hexuan's weakness caused the two of them to hide in the bushes to rest.
"Just now, I ran with all my might, hoping to get rid of this damn python completely, but I didn't think I was using too much force. Qin Hexuan gasped.
"I'm sorry, Brother Hexuan, I used the silver needle puncture method just now when I was in a hurry, but I didn't expect its side effects to be so big. Xia Xue said apologetically.
At this time, Qin Hexuan's legs were numb, and he needed Xia Xue's support to even walk normally. Qin Hexuan shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's just that I feel tired after the overuse of internal force, and the meridians should not be damaged too much." If it weren't for your emergency response just now, I guess we would have died a long time ago. ”
"I hate that I am not good at learning, otherwise I can definitely make the effect longer, and the side effects after the fact can also be lightened. Xia Xue said.
"Xue'er will be ranked among the masters of medicine in this skill, and I remember that this is an extremely difficult skill to learn. Qin Hexuan said with a smile.
"After I go back, I have to learn a lot from the master without clothes. Xia Xue said.
"We'll stay here for the night, and then we'll find my way down the mountain tomorrow when my feet are better. Qin Hexuan said.
As soon as the words fell, the two heard a shuttle sound in the distance. A huge snake head looked left and right in the distance.
Qin Hexuan secretly scolded in his heart: "This beast's ghost is not gone!"
The two of them hurriedly lowered their breathing and buried their heads in the grass. The Impatient Taipan Snake can rely on heat energy to locate its prey, and it has already vaguely noticed something unusual, and slowly swims towards the two of them.
Qin Hexuan knew that it was not good, and lowered his head to Xia Xue and whispered, at first Xia Xue shook his head desperately, but under Qin Hexuan's whispering again, he nodded reluctantly. As a result, several silver needles pierced deeply into Qin Hexuan's foot hole.
A figure flashed out of the grass and swept over the head of the Taipan snake, and the giant snake was furious, and immediately turned the snake's head and rushed towards the figure.
Qin Hexuan used his internal strength to run wildly in the jungle, and the Taipan snake behind him bit tightly. This time, in order to prolong the effect time of the silver needle puncture point as much as possible, Qin Hexuan did not explode instantaneously to widen the distance between him and the Taipan snake, but only maintained a slightly faster speed than it, dragging it through the forest.
This is also very good, the body is huge, but the movements are flexible, and there is no fatigue at all, and it can continue to pursue Qin Hexuan.
Gradually, Qin Hexuan had already felt a faint tingling sensation coming from his legs, it seemed that he had reached the limit, and life and death were here.
Suddenly, Qin Hexuan's figure was stunned and he stopped. The Taipan snake also immediately stopped, and the snake's head was towering, standing behind him.
"You brute, you've been chasing me for so long, are you tired?" Qin Hexuan said with a smile.
Taipan Snake ignored Qin Hexuan's words, slowly approached, and waited for an opportunity to attack.
I saw Qin Hexuan's figure flickering, took out the fire, and quickly ran around the Taipan Snake, and with the ignition of the fire in his hand, a circle of flames surrounded Qin Hexuan and the Taipan Snake.
It turned out that just when Qin Hexuan was scurrying around in the forest with the Taipan snake, Xia Xue obeyed Qin Hexuan's orders and arranged a circle of flammable plants and trees in a clearing. At this time, Xia Xue stood outside the fire ring and looked at Qin Hexuan anxiously.
Taipan Snake was startled by the sudden change, looked around, the flames were dazzling, and the temperature of the surrounding air rose rapidly, causing Taipan Snake to be a little uneasy.
"Come on, let's make a break!" After being chased for so long, Qin Hexuan had already held his breath, at this time, his anger exploded, his feet were full of internal strength, and in a flash, he had moved in front of the Taipan Snake, and the Taipan Snake hurriedly raised the snake's head to meet it. Qin Hexuan sneered, and used the Spirit Monkey Trail to easily dodge the attack, and a leap was above the Taipan Snake.
Due to the interference of the surrounding ring of fire, the Taipan Snake's thermal energy sensing ability was close to being invalidated, and Qin Hexuan's speed was greatly increased through Xia Xue's silver needle puncture point, which had exceeded the limit of the Taipan Snake's visual discrimination. Therefore, the Taipan Snake did not notice that Qin Hexuan's spirit monkey had flown above him at all. This place is not anywhere else, it is the seven-inch part of the body that is directly opposite the Taipan snake.
A bright red heart jumped strongly at the seven inches of the Taipan Snake, plopping, plopping, and suddenly, a huge external force passed through the skin and flesh, and struck rapidly. The heart wall trembled, and the heart muscle was torn.
The snake let out a long howl and collapsed on the ground. Qin Hexuan's right palm was still attached to the huge body of the Taipan Snake, and he suddenly knelt down on his knees and fell to the ground. Several silver needles on both feet fell to the ground, and a silver needle hidden at the base of his right hand also slowly fell.
Gradually, the fire was extinguished, Xia Xue rushed into the ring of fire, picked up a silver needle and stabbed it at Qin Hexuan's acupoint to heal his acupuncture.
I don't know how long it took, Qin Hexuan only felt that his eyes were gradually brightening, and a sound of chirping slowly came from his ears. He slowly opened his eyes, and a ray of sunlight came into view. When I looked up, Xia Xue was sleeping on her chest, and the corpse of a huge python beside her was particularly eye-catching in the sun.
Qin Hexuan struggled to get up slowly, his whole body ached, and he moved his legs and right hand, although the numbness had subsided, his movements were still not very flexible. Back pain was faintly coming, and it seemed that a big battle last night had deepened the back wound.
Feeling Qin Hexuan's movement, Xia Xue also woke up from her sleep.
"Brother Hexuan, are your hands and feet okay?" Xia Xue asked with concern.
"I've regained consciousness, but I'm not flexible yet. Qin Hexuan said.
"That's good, I guess you'll have to rest for a few days before you fully recover. Xia Xue said and got up and prepared to help Qin Hexuan down the mountain.
At this moment, there was another shuttle sound around him, and he didn't know where he was. Qin Hexuan shouted: "Is there still a snake? It seems that this time it is a group of snakes!"
Xia Xue also felt desperate, last night's battle had exhausted the strength of the two of them, and if they encountered snakes again, they would definitely die.
Xia Xue held Qin Hexuan's hand tightly, looked in the direction where the voice came from, and trembled all over.
Qin Hexuan smiled indifferently and hugged Xia Xue tightly to calm his nervous emotions.
"Xue'er, since we are destined to die here, then we must accept it calmly, besides, we still have spirits as companions, and we will definitely not be lonely on the Huangquan Road. Qin Hexuan said with a smile.
A warmth came from Qin Hexuan, Xia Xue let go of despair and said with a smile: "Well, Brother Hexuan, I am not afraid of anything if I can be with you!"
Finally, the voice came to my eyes, and I saw a few people walking out of the dense jungle, and it was Ouyang Jincheng, Chen Wuyi, Xia Qingcang, and Jing Xinyao. Seeing the four of them, Qin Hexuan and Xia Xue cried with joy. Xia Qingcang hugged Xia Xue, Chen Wuyi hurriedly stepped forward to check on Qin Hexuan's injuries, and Ouyang Jincheng looked at the corpse of the giant Taipan snake lying on the ground in amazement.
It turned out that the lack of a home for Qin Xia and the two of them last night had attracted everyone's attention, and the firelight in the middle of the night gave everyone a guiding light, leading everyone to find this place.
On the way back, Xia Xue told everyone about the thrilling day and night, and after listening to it, Chen Wuyi praised Xia Xue's performance, and Ouyang Jincheng also smiled at Qin Hexuan: "How is it?
"Teacher Ouyang, I didn't understand what you said before, but now the students finally understand, thank you for the teacher's kindness!" Qin Hexuan said firmly.
Ouyang Jincheng took a sip of the wine in the pot and smiled without saying a word.
Finally, with the support of everyone, Qin Hexuan and Xia Xue successfully returned to Tianzhao Academy. Xia Xue has been cleared of snake venom, and her foot injury has healed after a day of rest. However, Qin Hexuan suffered serious damage to the meridians of his feet due to the severe scratch on his back and the forced stimulation of the internal force by the second silver acupuncture point, and he rested for half a month before recovering. During the period of recuperation, Xia Xue came to visit every day, and every time he came, he would send the tonic he had personally brewed, which also happened to speed up Qin Hexuan's recovery.
After recovering from a serious illness, Qin Hexuan began to carefully sort out and summarize the spirit monkey maze steps he had comprehended, and improved and became proficient, and finally integrated and flexibly used them.
Before I knew it, the third year of Tianzhao Academy had passed. Everyone finally ushered in the day of going down the mountain.
