Chapter 67: The Rangers
Listening to Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng's narration, Zhang Xuanqing stood next to the two of them, calm, his eyes were half-closed and half-open, as if he was not looking, and he was congenital and entrenched in his eyes, and followed the sight of the two for a long time, only to see the mountains full of dead branches and leaves, and occasionally green pines were straight, but there was no 'rising', 'thin, light and ethereal'.
On the night of leaving Huayuan County, he took out the Wangqi technique from Yuan Tiangang. The method is very simple, that is, to condense the eyes with the innate Qi, and over time, you can see the environmental qi of nature, also known as "halo". For beginners to practice the "Qi Lookout Technique", it is best to choose a place with water, because this kind of place has sufficient water vapor, and the changes in Lan Qi are more obvious and easy to see.
Different from the Chinese medicine Wangqi method, the Chinese medicine Wangqi method only looks at the human body's complexion, and this "qi" does not really refer to it, but the important thing is to look at the color, such as the quality of the complexion, the difference in skin color, and so on. However, Yuan Tiangang's Qi Hope Technique is said to be able to really see the qi wandering in the heavens and the earth and the human body, and the reason why it is said is because Zhang Xuanqing has not seen anything now.
Looking at the glow in Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng's eyes, he said that it was fake not to envy, but cultivation was a step-by-step thing, and he could only be anxious no matter how much he wanted to see it.
After staying on the top of the mountain for a while, Yuan Tiangang combined the five qi and taught Li Chunfeng the art of feng shui. Feng Shui is the art of physiognomy in physiognomy, which is a method of on-the-spot geographical inspection, also known as geophysiognomy and kanyushu, which is divided into two major schools: "situation" and "rational qi". The "Situation School" pays attention to the information on the combination of the direction of the mountain, and the "Rational School" adheres to the principle of luck and prosperity, and the two are mutually explanatory and have their own strengths.
Yuan Tiangang's learning naturally focuses on the "rational style", but the "situation school" also understands a little, one moment to talk about what Xuankong flying stars, one moment to talk about what master strokes the qin, the former is the rational style of Tianxing Feng Shui, the latter is the situation school of drinking the form.
Drinking shapes: Comparing mountains to various biological shapes or shapes in the world, the master strokes the qin, for example, the mountain is like a person sitting and stroking the qin, which is very simple and clear.
By the time Yuan Tiangang had finished talking, it was almost noon, and the three of them had eaten before they went on the road again. Today is the fourth day of leaving Huayuan County, because the car and horse are not hired, the three of them are walking in a straight line, all the way over the mountains and mountains, crossing the bridge and wading the river, originally according to the footsteps, before dark, you can reach Chiyang County, but unfortunately the morning is delayed, and the sunset and dusk have not yet come out of the mountain.
The sunset was shining, and the three of them walked in the mountains and forests, each carrying their own baggage, the leaves rustling under their feet, and occasionally talking to each other, all at ease.
Suddenly, there was a shout from the front, faintly, and it was not really audible. Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but stop the two: "Brother Zhang Dao, Chunfeng, listen, is someone calling for help?"
Deep in the mountains, it is common to get lost and in distress.
Li Chunfeng listened carefully and shook his head silently, not knowing whether he could hear clearly or whether it was not a call for help.
Zhang Xuanqing opened the nine orifices early in the morning, and his hearing was better than the two of them, and he vaguely listened: "Stop", "You can't run away", etc., nodded, shook his head and said: "Everyone be careful, someone is being chased in front of him, and he is coming to us, and the sound is not like a good stubble......" As he was talking, the voice had reached the ears of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng from far and near.
Yuan Tiangang's complexion changed slightly: "There are masters, they are rangers on the rivers and lakes!" Li Chunfeng also pursed his lips, and quietly held the hilt of the sword with his hand.
When Zhang Xuanqing saw him for the first time, he held this sword. I thought he was a master, but after asking, I found out that he had only learned a little crop style, and he only brought a sword for self-defense, so he wanted to talk about swordsmanship...... Loose tight.
However, he has a cold face and few words, it is easy to give people the illusion of a master, in Yuan Tiangang's words, he can bluff many people, so when he goes out, Yuan Tiangang will let him carry a sword.
This time the three of them went on the road, in order to avoid encountering danger on the road, not only Li Chunfeng carried a sword, but Zhang Xuanqing also changed his outfit when he first came to Datang, a sword, a dust, a medicine box, a lot, and even four guns from the robbers.
Compared with the nervousness of Yuan Tiangang and the others, Zhang Xuanqing seemed much more relaxed, and even had excitement in his eyes: "Is it really a ranger of rivers and lakes?" Looking at the depths of the dense forest in front of him, he was full of expectation.
Jianghu rangers, like the chivalrous in martial arts novels, are people who are brave and reckless. Of course, these are not important, the important thing is that they are strong in martial arts!
It is really a strong martial arts, the kind that can hurt people with a single palm of gravel, flying eaves and walls, flying flowers and picking leaves.
Sun Simiao has said before that true qi is divided into two types: medical true qi and martial arts true qi. The true qi of the medical path focuses on health preservation, and the true qi of the martial arts is biased towards killing. Therefore, Zhang Xuanqing guessed that the real master may not be inferior to the characters in martial arts novels.
His eyes were fixed on the direction in which the voice came, and he saw four figures faintly in the depths of the dense forest.
At the beginning, a man, seven feet tall, crane mantis-shaped, wearing a green cloth robe, carrying a cold light sword, extremely tall, but extremely thin, it was like a hemp pole, the footsteps connected the dots, together a fall, shaped like a ghost, as fast as a bird, watching through the forest through the stone, from a distance quickly approaching.
The three people chasing behind him were fat, strong and short, the fat one had a fat head and big ears, a big belly, it was hard to imagine that he could still run, so he fell at the end of the three; the strong one was a tiger with a bear waist and a burly figure, holding a big ring knife, a leopard head and eyes, and a swallow jaw and tiger whiskers, chasing after the three of them; the one who hit the head was actually the short man, one meter five or six tall, less than the chest of the big man, but the two small short legs under the crotch were upside down very fast, up and down, like a hot wheel, and from time to time two darts were shot out in his hand, hindering the speed of the pursuers.
The tall and thin man who was chased didn't seem to be in a good state, although his speed was fast, his feet were a little vain. Listening to the strong wind behind him, he didn't look back, and waved his sword to block. Jingle, the hidden weapon fell, but his body shook, almost fell to the ground, and when he ran again, his speed dropped by one level.
The three pursuers behind him laughed when they saw this: "Liu Jiannan, you can't run away, a few months ago, you relied on light skills to kill our eldest brother and fifth brother, and today you are highly poisoned, you should be killed by us!"
At this time, the distance between the two sides was extremely close, and the tall and thin man continued to run without saying a word. Suddenly seeing Zhang Xuanqing and the three of them in front of him, his heart tightened, his feet paused slightly, and then turned around in an instant. The sword in his hand slashed a cold light, stabbing straight into the neck of the short man who was chasing after him.
"Be careful!"
The short man had chased behind the tall and thin man, and was taking off two crescent stabs from his waist and putting them on his hands. Seeing that he was about to die under the sword, the tall and strong man behind him shouted, his speed suddenly increased, and at the same time, with a flick of his big arm, the big ring knife in his hand with a fierce wind sound, came out of his hand, and went straight to the door of the thin and tall man.
The tall and thin man was much taller than the short man, and the tall man didn't have to worry about the big knife accidentally injuring the short man.
The tall and thin man didn't dare to take it hard, and with his current physical strength, he couldn't block the opponent's powerful blow at all. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, his steps were wrong, and his body moved sideways to the left in a strange posture, but the sword in his hand was not collected, still pointing at the short man.
However, after such a delay, the sword momentum was finally slightly off, and the short man had already reflected it. Suddenly stopped, leaned back, and knelt with his legs straight. Originally, he was short, such an unexpected change of move, the tall and thin man couldn't deal with it at all, and he really let the short man avoid the fatal blow, and he could be cut off by the tall and thin man with a strand of long hair.
It's just that this action is too ugly, if it weren't for the tall and thin man who didn't stand in front of the short man in order to avoid the big ring knife of the strong man, the short man seemed to bow down to him, but it could also be seen that the short man was anxious.
Between the lightning and flint, the tall and thin man and the short man are separated by mistake. When the tall and thin man saw that the blow was missed, he immediately stepped back sideways: the short man rushed forward even if he knelt on his knees due to the inertia of moving quickly before.
At the same time, the long knife thrown by the tall man arrived, slashing over the short man's head. was supposed to hit the tall and thin man's big knife, but because it was flashed by the tall and thin man, it went straight to Zhang Xuanqing.
The tall and thin man's eyebrows tightened, and a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes.
Zhang Xuanqing didn't think that it would become such a scene, he also fantasized that he finally met a few masters, and he had to learn two tricks from the other party. Seeing the big knife roaring, he was stunned for a while.
"Uncle Shi!"
"Brother Dao!"
Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng let out an exclamation at the same time.
Zhang Xuanqing's heart was excited, and then he reacted, and with an oops, he hugged his head and squatted.
The sound of the wind swept by, and he only felt a slight chill coming from the back of his hand, and he heard a sound behind him, and the big ring knife was inserted into the trunk of the uncle behind him, and it was not handled.
Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng hurriedly stepped forward: "Uncle (Brother Dao), are you okay?"
It's okay, you have the ability to try!
Zhang Xuanqing was shocked, took his hand down, and saw a shallow wound on the back of his hand, not deep, only scratching the epidermis, and not even bleeding much, but he was still afraid in his heart.
If he reacts even one second slower, his head and neck will probably be separated today!
The tall man in front of him just helped the short man up and asked with concern, but he didn't say anything about almost killing him by mistake. Zhang Xuanqing's heart was tumbling with anger, he couldn't care about being afraid, jumped up, pointed at the tall man and scolded, and almost used all the dirty words he had learned in his life.
"Grandma's! You're blind!!I'll grass your grandma'!!"
The tall man glanced at him coldly and ignored it. The fat man who fell at the back chased after him, and without waiting to stand firm, he was out of breath, and glared angrily at Zhang Xuanqing: "That Taoist priest, are you looking for death? Dare to say one more word, be careful uncle, I will abolish you!"
"I grass your grandma, grass your grandma, grass your grandma...... I said, you have the ability!" Zhang Xuanqing didn't believe in evil at all, and stared back at him with his neck.
Regarding his head jumping off the line from time to time, Yuan Tiangang said that he was used to it. But at this time, he still couldn't help but secretly cry bitterly in his heart, stretched out his hand and secretly pushed him behind Zhang Xuanqing's back, and whispered: "Brother Dao, my good Brother Dao, they are Jianghu people who lick blood on the knife edge, can't you say a word?"
Judging from Zhang Xuanqing's previous reaction, he didn't understand martial arts at all, and he dared to provoke the other party, isn't this.
However, it was too late at this time......
