Chapter 34: All the Way South
Dongyang looked at this situation and felt interesting, although he had encountered many assassins with the Son of Jincheng, but the first time he saw this scene, he was a hot-blooded man, and he was crazy to see this woman. Lu Yunli also noticed the changes in Dongyang, and knew that if he was charmed by this woman, he would not die here with him. Then he shouted to the woman, "We are passing by, and we have no grievances with you, and if we are let through, this matter will be settled." ”
The woman said in a loud voice: "We, the people, can't help the two of you, if you two are tied up, give you a good time, if you don't listen to the advice, then let you live but not die." The woman's voice was as rough as a man's, and it woke Dongyang from his addiction. He sighed softly. This sigh is for this woman, who is so beautiful, but has such a voice that does not match.
Dongyang glanced at the weapons in the hands of the group of people, and saw a woodcutter in the hand of a tattered man, locking on to the target. Without warning, an arrow stepped forward, snatched the wood cutter, and slashed wildly with the back of the knife. Although the back of the knife does not put people to death, the skin is also open everywhere it goes. One by one, those who fell did not have the courage to stand up. These dozens of people were not enough to enjoy Dongyang, and they all fell to the ground after a while, leaving only the woman standing there. The mandarin duck knife in his hand was already trembling.
Dongyang threw down the bloody firewood knife and said, "They are all hard-working people, why bother each other." After saying that, he stepped in with the woman.
The woman, watching them walk by, froze on the ground.
Lu Yun walked away from the meeting, so he said directly: "Can you teach me kung fu, if I encounter such a situation, I can help." ”
Dongyang is not a stingy person, and he is not a few years older than Lu Yunli, and he also thinks that Lu Yunli is a good person these days. I readily agreed. It's just that both of them are very hungry, and they can't see the village post station in front and back. The two of them looked for wild things in the forest to satisfy their hunger, and as for teaching Lu Yunli martial arts, it was after they were full.
Suddenly, a big bird flew by, flew not far and then fell. Lu Yun approached the short body and found that it was a pheasant, and the two of them, who were hungry at this time, saw the pheasant as if it was cooked. Lu Yun approached the stroll, remembering Hua Feihua's murderous aura that Hua Feihua had taught him. Until there was a step away from the pheasant, the pheasant sensed the danger, "flutter lala" fluttering its wings and flying, Lu Yunli instantly pulled out the ink heart, and nailed the pheasant to the opposite tree with a knife, and the pheasant fluttered a few times and then stopped moving.
Dongyang looked at the trick very beautifully, and said with a smile: "Brother Lu is joking with me, I still need to teach such a good knife technique." ”
Lu Yunli: "I will only have this move, I originally wanted to practice a move well is better than a half-trick, but unfortunately this move is useless to practice well, it's okay not to meet a master one-on-one, if I meet someone like Brother Dong, I can only wait for death." ”
Dongyang didn't hear what Lu Yunli said at all, and now his mind is full of how to eat this pheasant. Reaching forward and lifting the pheasant, the two looked at it, but they didn't know how to eat it, and they were worried. Lu Yunli turned his mind and remembered that he had eaten roast wild duck when he was in the blue wolf grassland, but at that time, the pots and firewood were complete, and there was nothing here, and he couldn't eat raw. Looking at this pheasant, there was no way, it was a pity to lose it here, so I had to carry the pheasant in my hand and continue to walk forward.
Until dusk, I saw the smoke of cooking in the distance, and a small village with only five or six households was reflected in front of me. The two of them walked quickly into the village, knocked on the door of a cooking house, and opened the door to a man in his fifties, dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, with patches on his cuffs and trouser legs.
Lu Yunli said to the old man: "Old man, my cousin and I are passing by here and want to buy some food to eat, I have a freshly caught pheasant here, and I have it to help stew." As he spoke, he took out a few pieces of broken silver from his bosom, weighed them, and gave them to the old man. The old man took the money, and immediately smiled, beckoning the two to go in.
In front of the stove, an old woman was cooking porridge, and when she saw a stranger coming in, she was stunned at first, and then saw her old man with a smile on his face, so he nodded with a smile.
Dongyang stretched out his head to look at the pot, it was just porridge, there was nothing else, and he didn't know how to make this pheasant. He asked the old man, "Sir, you have made this pheasant for trouble." ”
The old man took the pheasant, and at this time the porridge in the pot was ready, took it out, boiled water, and plucked the chicken feathers. Chop into large pieces, put it in the pot and stew, throw in some potatoes and spices, and cover the pot. The scent filled the room in a few moments.
For an hour, simmer and take out of the pot. Lu Yunli and Dongyang couldn't wait, a pheasant was not enough for the two of them, and after gobbling it up, there was a pile of bones left. Dongyang remembered that in the palace, he was restrained everywhere, and although he was often hungry and cold outside, he was much more free than in the palace, but it was a pity that there was no wine around, and it would be more beautiful if he had. In this small village, when it gets dark, there is no light in every house, and there is nowhere to find wine. Although they were not very full, they were five or six minutes, and they walked all day, and were very tired, so they slept on the haystack in this cowshed.
The night was fine, but Lu Yunli was still worried about whether the reporter Hua Feihua had escaped, he said that he would also come to the south, and he didn't know if they could meet again in the future.
As soon as the morning dawned, the old couple began to cook on the fire, or porridge, and each of them had a bowl of rice, and left after drinking. Or walk with the woods, it is shady inside, and you can also hunt some game.
Lu Yunli proposed that the two of them only walk for half a day every day, so that they would not be very tired, and the remaining half day of Dongyang taught themselves martial arts. Dongyang had no direction to go, so he was naturally in a hurry, such a leisurely day, enjoy it, and happily agreed.
On the way, Lu Yunli told all his martial arts, Dongyang thought about it for a while, when he taught the Praetorian Guards before, he had a special leader, and he only sometimes gave a pointer, and he did not systematically teach others. I don't know where to start. The words that I thought in my heart were said to Lu Yunli.
Lu Yunli: "Then how did the Lingshi teach you?"
Dongyang suddenly understood, and said: "Yes, my master didn't teach me any martial arts before, but just let me keep exercising my physical fitness, jogging for three hours a day and running fast for an hour." Then practice qi, every day according to what is written in the book, luck in the whole body, open the meridians in all parts of the body, after a long time, the use of true qi is proficient, often run fast for three or four hours without feeling tired. ”
Lu Yunli: "How long have you been practicing True Qi?"
Dongyang: "For three years, I think that people's system is limited, even if the system is the best, if you keep exercising, there will be moments of exhaustion. If there is true qi in the body to help, it will completely rise to another level, which can explain why the two peerless masters can fight for days without stopping. Hearing Dongyang's words, Lu Yun nodded straightly, and the master never said these words again.
On second thought, it may be because I ask for quick results, and there is no need to practice internal force. At this time, with the guidance of such a master, I taught myself to practice internal strength, and I was happy in my heart. Thinking of this, he said: "Brother Dong is above, and I am worshiped by my younger brother." He bowed deeply to the end.
Dongyang hurriedly helped him up and said, "You and I are already brothers, so why bother, I'll teach you." ”
The woods are vast and the road is long, and a few squirrels and pheasants were hunted along the way. The two of them begged for a bag of salt and spices when they were leaving the old man's house, stopped and looked around for dry wood to make a fire. He skinned the squirrel and roasted it on a stick by the fire. Pheasant, Lu Yunli remembered a practice called beggar, found some yellow mud, wrapped the chicken in it, opened the fire, dug a pit in the middle, put the chicken in the pit, and covered it with firewood again. Eat roast squirrels first. Then the pheasant was pulled out of the soil, and the mud was broken, and the pure fragrance wafted out.
After a full meal, Dongyang began to dictate the mental method, and Lu Yunli followed the mental method to say luck. When in doubt, Dongyang took the initiative to explain and point. Then practicing the knife technique, although Mo Xin did not grow up like Mo Dao, the method of use is almost the same, Dongyang always believes that fast is the only truth of martial arts in the world.
The two of them practiced all the way, and when they encountered bandits and robbers on the way, they were all eliminated or scared away, and they did not encounter too strong opponents. They were also very careful in their stays, and they chose the big inns in the city to stay, and the silver was never used up, because the world was not good, and there were more and more robbers on the road, and every time the two of them could find some silver on the dead bandits. If you really don't have a place to live, find a strong tree, and it is safe to sleep on it.
On this day, the two passed through a forest, and Lu Yunli vaguely heard the sound of someone stroking the piano in the distance. The sound of the piano is melodious and tactful, and I yearn for it when I hear it, and I unconsciously walk in the direction of the sound of the piano.
Lu Yunli has been pampered since he was a child, and he lived a small life before the family suffered an accident. I am familiar with the rhythm of music, and I have seen many famous scores, whether the music is good, whether the rhythm is accurate, you can hear it at once. Now when I hear such a beautiful piano sound, I am intoxicated by it.
Dongyang didn't understand music, he only felt that the melody was beautiful and refreshing, and he unconsciously followed Lu Yunli and walked in the direction of the piano. The more you walk in, the clearer the sound becomes. Walking through the woods, I saw a small clearing, a woman sitting cross-legged on a huge bluestone, stroking the piano with both hands, a song of orchid, and the people listening to it were relaxed and happy.
Lu Yunli sat cross-legged on the ground opposite the woman, his eyes closed until the sound of the piano stopped. When I opened my eyes, I saw the woman's face clearly, her eyebrows were like a crescent moon, her eyes were clear, her lips were slightly thick, and she was dressed in plain clothes, quiet and elegant, like a fairy descending to earth. The woman saw that Lu Yunli and Dongyang were gone, and after finishing the song, she put the piano behind her, jumped off the big bluestone lightly, and left step by step unhurriedly, never saying a word.
Lu Yun left the woman and disappeared into the woods, still standing in place for a long time, unable to tell whether he was in a dream or reality.
