Chapter 4 Nine Steps of Lingxiao
The reason why Qiu Xin wanted to enter the silkworm cave so much was naturally because he knew that the silkworm cave recorded the martial arts attainments of the ancestors of the Yin Sect, and his swordsmanship had not broken through for a long time.
When Qiu Xin came to the silkworm cave, in addition to taking the pen and paper, he also asked Yun Qi for a long sword and brought it into the silkworm cave together. The other disciples also followed the Silkworm Cave.
Only Shi Weihu and the three of them were blocked, and the Hidden Sect did not allow the disciples of the Hidden Sect to enter this place, and entered this place during the apprenticeship ceremony, but those who did not join the Hidden Sect would also be hidden by Miyue one by one, so as not to spread the Hidden Sect's exercises.
The ancestors of the Hidden Sect comprehended martial arts in the silkworm cave, leaving thousands of stone carvings, some of which were accumulated for a long time, and some of which were sudden, containing many martial arts moves, and the scope was large, and there were only in the world.
Therefore, the silkworm cave has also become the most frequent place for the disciples of the Hidden Sect, and the outer disciples also have the opportunity to hand in their comprehension once a year, and if they perform well, they can also become official disciples.
With the influx of many disciples, the originally wide and quiet silkworm cave gradually became lively, Qiu Xin walked in the forefront, and when he sat in front of the stone carving, Yun Qi also signaled everyone to be quiet.
After Qiu Xin entered the silkworm cave, he was attracted by the stone carvings, and the sword in his hand moved unconsciously, according to the stone carvings, constantly imitated.
At the same time, he was also amazed by the people who left these moments, leaving behind the subtlety of the stone carvings, as if those predecessors had re-performed the moves before their eyes.
Eventually, Qiu Xin stopped in front of a relatively large stone carving, only to see that there were nine groups of murals painted on it, each with a dozen independent patterns.
And in the lower right corner of the last stone carving, there are also a few lines of small characters engraved: My name is Lingxiao, living in Xiaoyuanfeng for more than 30 years, watching the rise and fall of the sea of clouds every day, suddenly inspired, and then creating Lingxiao nine steps, with light work, alone in the world.
According to these few lines of small characters, these nine groups of stone carvings are painted by a kind of light work, and this senior named Ling Xiao can stand alone in the world with this light skill alone, which makes Qiu Xin very curious, so he began to carefully observe the stone carvings.
These nine stone carvings give people a sense of etherealism, and the figures in the pattern seem to be about to break free, and Qiu Xin keeps gesturing with the sword in his hand.
I always feel that I am twisted, and the long sword in my hand always has a feeling of restraining myself, Qiu Xin paused, and pondered for a long time on the stone carving, so he put the sword in his hand on the ground.
He rehearsed the mural again with his bare hands, but he still found it difficult to achieve the smooth feeling in the mural, just like the one hundred and eight sword moves he had learned, the moves were different, and there was no way to connect them at all.
Qiu Xin also tried to change his posture from different angles than in the mural, but it was even more uncomfortable, so he frowned, squatted on the ground and painted the stone carvings with his hands.
Qiu Xin has learned since he was a child, in addition to the one hundred and eight sword moves recorded in the Divine Sword Technique, he also learned the Hidden Spirit Technique, and his light skills are all ordinary luck methods in the Hidden Spirit Technique, although it is very clever, but it is far from reaching the level of coming and going without a trace.
The other disciples looked at Qiu Xin like this, and some began to gloat, "Vainly trying to comprehend the nine steps of Lingxiao is really wishful thinking." I've been watching it for three years, and I don't see anything. ”
Ling Zhiyu and Ling Zhiqin were also mixed in the crowd at this time, and they were also looking at Qiu Xin, Ling Zhiqin also said when she saw this, "Qiu... Yin Gongzi is also too arrogant, although this Lingxiao Nine Steps is so magically written, but even if there is a record of that senior, plus these patterns, few people can comprehend it. ”
Ling Zhiyu also nodded when she heard this, watching Qiu Xin's subordinates move quickly and slowly, and finally took a breath and stood up.
Suddenly, a three-color true qi appeared around Qiu Xin's body, and then Qiu Xin's feet left the ground and made the first move in the air, and then Qiu Xin made another move.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and Qiu Xin rushed towards the stone carving at a very fast speed, this scene made Qiu Xin's face change greatly, and he immediately wanted luck to stop all this, but he rushed away at a faster speed.
Qiu Xin hurriedly dispersed his true qi and stopped imitating the action, but at this time, his whole body was already lying on the stone wall, and slowly slid to the ground, due to the violent impact, his nose was already bleeding.
Qiu Xin scolded all his life, and then exerted his limbs, slowly stood up, touched the dust and blood on his face, and returned to the center of the silkworm cave.
Seeing Qiu Xin's embarrassed appearance, bursts of laughter came from among the other disciples, and even Yun Qi stepped forward and said, "Senior Brother Yin, this Lingxiao Nine Steps is the most difficult among these thousand stone carvings, you can simply write down the feeling comprehension, or the essence of the move." ”
Qiu Xin smiled embarrassedly when she heard this, "Thank you Senior Brother for reminding me, but I think this Lingxiao Nine Steps is the most interesting, try a few more times, if it really doesn't work, it's not too late to give up." ”
Seeing that Qiu Xin had no intention of giving up, Yun Qi no longer dissuaded him, and when he stepped aside, Qiu Xin began to try again.
Since I didn't use my true qi at the beginning, and my body didn't change, but later my luck ran along the posture drawn by the pattern, and there would be another strong force that carried me, and I couldn't change the direction yet.
Then the key must be the true qi, Qiu Xin began to slow down his luck again, increasing the amount of true qi little by little, but until all the true qi in the dantian was used, there was no reaction.
Qiu Xin realized that even if he used all his true qi, it would only be useful if he changed from this posture to the next, so Qiu Xin didn't think about it, so he posed for the next mural.
Unexpectedly, the body rushed forward at a faster speed, which made Qiu Xin frightened, but with his previous experience, Qiu Xin first withdrew all his true qi, and then resumed his original posture and movements, and slowly fell to the ground.
It is no wonder that few disciples can learn the nine steps of Lingxiao, but the control of true qi is extremely harsh, and the amount of true qi must be controlled before they can change their movements.
And just the first two murals have already achieved such an effect, which is amazing, so Qiu Xin gradually changed the amount of true qi to achieve the desired effect.
So he began to increase from one point of force to ten points.
Everyone saw him drift to the stone wall again and again, and fell to the ground again and again, during which he also hit the stone wall twice, and some disciples began to shake their heads, sit in the cave, and even began to look at the stone carvings.
There were also a few disciples who had comprehended the nine steps of Lingxiao Seeing Qiu Xin like this, they felt that it was impossible for him to succeed the first time, and looked at Qiu Xin with a smile.
Changing from one part of the force to ten points, it is still difficult to control the body freely, so that Qiu Xin once again realizes that he has found the wrong direction, even if it is not about the true qi, then how can he learn the nine steps of Lingxiao.
Seeing that most of the time had passed, Ling Zhiqin was a little anxious, so she shouted at Qiu Xin, "Young Master Yin, why do you have to take nine steps in Lingxiao, passing this level is the most important thing." ”
Qiu Xin seemed to have heard of this, but she still stared at the stone carving and kept groping, seeing this, Ling Zhiqin stomped her foot, "It's really an elm head." At this time, one of the disciples walked out of the group and said to Qiu Xin, "Senior Brother Yin, you take a closer look at the words written by Lingxiao's seniors. ”
Hearing this, everyone's eyes gathered here, only to see that this person was dressed in purple, looking quite stable, Ling Zhiqin saw this and said, "Isn't that Senior Brother Mengqi?"
"Well, he is also a personal disciple of the Sword Hall Master, my senior brother, who saved our lives in the beast garden. The person who spoke had an obscene look on his face, it was Qin Sanxiao.
Seeing this, Ling Zhiqin said, "Senior Brother Qin, aren't you now being favored by Senior Uncle Ye and becoming the man of the year in your Sword Hall, and you have no time to take care of these things?"
Qin Sanxiao smiled, "Senior sister said that she laughed, making an exception to accept apprentices, it is rare to see you for many years, how could I miss it, besides, aren't the two junior sisters also here." ”
"Senior Brother Qin thinks that Yin Gongzi can learn this Lingxiao Nine Steps?" Ling Zhiyu asked without leaving Qiu Xin's gaze.
Qin San thought for a moment and muttered, "Senior Brother Meng Qi has already learned three of the nine steps of Lingxiao, and even the easiest first step has taken more than a month, and it is too difficult for this person to learn it in a few hours." ”
Ling Zhiyu nodded when she heard this, and the entire stone cave also quieted down because of Meng Qi's words, and Qiu Xin's words were clearly audible, "Watch the sea of clouds rise and fall, the sea of clouds rises and falls, the sea of clouds ......"
Qiu Xin still kept frowning, thinking to himself, with the lightness of the sea of clouds, he can ride the wind, but how can the human body be compared with the clouds and mist.
But Lingxiao did write that with the sign of the sea of clouds, he was able to create nine steps of Lingxiao, which was naturally not a lie, and Meng Qi looked at Qiu Xin like this, and also sighed and returned to the crowd.
Qiu Xin was already a little irritable at this time, and she couldn't think about it for a long time, and she was ready to try again.
So he was lucky again, and then he closed his eyes, and all the patterns of the first group of stone carvings appeared in his mind, constantly recombined, imagining the churning of the sea of clouds, and only then did he realize in his heart.
The hands and feet involuntarily levitated, but they did not hit the wall like at first, with Qiu Xin's movements, they moved extremely fast, step by step, and they were able to walk on the vertical stone wall, leaving behind phantoms.
And Qiu Xin's movements turned out to be completely different from those painted in the stone carvings, and all the disciples kept exclaiming, looking at Qiu Xin's unbelievable movement speed, knowing that he had comprehended the first step of Lingxiao's nine steps, the shadow.
When Qiu Xin opened his eyes again, he was already sweating profusely, but the feeling of walking freely on the stone wall was very free and comfortable, just like the sea of clouds riding the wind, and the fish borrowing water.
It seems that Qiu Xin's movements are different from those on the stone wall, but Qiu Xin relies on those postures to release his true qi without restraint, so as to achieve this effect.
After resting for a while, Qiu Xin stood up, walked up to Yun Qi, and said, "Senior Brother Yun Qi, I don't know if this kind of comprehension can pass this level?"
