Chapter Twenty-Three: Black Panther Fights the Demon Dragon
An hour later, Huo Jingyuan finished explaining the basic skills of the Dancing Void Technique, and also demonstrated and instructed, and finally added to Leng Jian: "Remember, there is a big tree by the river on the outskirts of the northern part of the town, if you encounter a bottleneck and can't break through it anyway, you can go there to find the answer, and I will engrave the keywords on the tree to help you break through the bottleneck and practice the Void Dancing Technique." But you can't go until after sunset, and I don't want you to get that far. There are still about two or three hours before sunset, and you must hurry up and practice during this time, and I will not be a sparring partner, so I will leave it at that. ”
Leng Jian was grateful, but also doubtful, but he didn't want to ask too much, and then said, "Sir's words, I will definitely abide by them." The professor's grace, the younger brother is even more inscribed, please take care of Mr., and when you have the fate to see you again, you will repay this great kindness!"
Huo Jingyuan said: "I've said everything that should be said, you still have to fight for time to cultivate, so that you can save your companions." As far as I know, the Thunder Light Demon Dragon rarely hunts humans, but if they are taken captive to the Demon Dragon Valley, it is difficult to say, after all, they are not vegetarians. With that, he turned and walked out of the courtyard. Leng Jianmu sent Huo Jingyuan away, while he stayed in the courtyard to recall the secret of Qi Control of the Dancing Technique, and gradually closed his eyes, like an old monk who had settled down.
Leng Jian had already made up his mind in his heart, he knew that he must succeed, and he would succeed in the shortest possible time, because he had to save Feng Qingrou and Long Ayaxiao, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would not give up.
In less than an hour, Leng Jian has tried no less than a hundred times, but all of them have failed, either falling from the air or unable to maintain altitude in the air. The more he wants to succeed, the more impetuous, and the more frustrated he feels if he fails, which undoubtedly forms a vicious circle. Leng Jian was originally a person who was not surprised by changes and could calmly analyze problems at any time, but now he judged the two of them, became impatient, and was eager for quick success. Leng Jian knew what the problem was, and began to hold his composure, sitting cross-legged on the spot, and began to think about it carefully, recalling what Huo Jingyuan had said...... He wanted to succeed in one fell swoop on the next attempt, time was fleeting, he couldn't wait any longer, wait a moment longer, and the wind would be more dangerous for them.
After a while, Leng Jian slowly opened his eyes and stood up straight, he wanted to try again, this time he had the determination to win, and he had already done enough work. Leng Jian jumped up again, his body rose into the air, and at the same time, a powerful air flow around him was generated to support him steadily, and his feet were like stepping on a cloud of slippery air, which could move in a straight line in the air, and he advanced for a long distance without falling. The cold sword glided in the air for an unprecedented distance! He was pleasantly surprised, and suddenly his heart ached, and he staggered in the air, and the whole person fell straight down and fell heavily to the ground.
Leng Jian's physical resistance is amazing, of course, there is no damage if he falls a few heels, but his test flight failed again this time, and this kind of mental trauma is the most fatal!
"How can this be? Is it really a bottleneck?" Leng Jian covered his chest and got up, feeling confused in his heart.
He was unwilling and anxious to try again, but he was surprised to find that as long as he exercised his strength, he would feel a heart-wrenching pain, and he would not be able to fly in the air no matter what. He tried to get in shape, and he tried several times in a row.
He had to compromise. At this time, it was almost twilight, and he couldn't waste any more time, so he suddenly remembered Huo Jingyuan's words in a hurry. So, he decided to go to the outskirts of the north of the town to find a way to break through.
All the way north, out of the town, to the river. At this time, the twilight was already thick, and by the afterglow of the remnant sun, Leng Jian walked to a big tree by the river, and saw two words engraved on it, although it was only the size of a palm, it was extremely clear and dazzling.
"Human blood!" Leng Jian shuddered all over his body. That's right, the words carved on the tree are indeed "human blood". He immediately thought of the wind and waves. "Is it really necessary to eat human blood to break through the bottleneck and learn the Void Dancing Technique?" Leng Jian was puzzled, "Could it be that this is the reason why Mr. Huo asked me not to pass it on, he didn't even teach his own apprentices, is it because of this?" "Impossible...... Leng Jian shook his head vigorously, and thought, "I don't believe that cultivating this kind of peerless learning has to be assisted by human blood? What if this is true? If you don't learn the Void Dance Technique as soon as possible, the Wind Girl will be unable to save the immortals...... "Where should he go, how should he make a choice?" As the saying goes, one thought becomes a demon, one thought becomes a Buddha, does he continue to cultivate or resolutely give up?
He didn't think much of it, gritted his teeth, and struck the trunk with his right fist, blurring the words "human blood" engraved on it. He ran out of ideas, and slowly sat down leaning against the tree, his head hanging down, his brows furrowed into an inverted figure.
Before I knew it, time had flown by, and it was completely dark. Leng Jian was still sitting alone by the river, with his back against the tree, with mixed feelings in his heart, bitterness, regret, worry, loss, and disappointment...... Now that he knew that his companion was in trouble but couldn't do anything, the more he thought about it, the more he wondered, the more he blamed himself, and his frustration was extremely ...... Just when his heart was in turmoil, a person appeared behind him silently. Leng Jian didn't realize it until he heard a familiar voice ringing in his ears: "Why don't you go to save your companion, but you are secretly sad here?" It was Huo Jingyuan who spoke.
When Leng Jian heard this, he immediately turned around and stood up, and when he saw that it was Huo Jingyuan, he couldn't help but be surprised, and only said after a while: "It turned out to be Mr. Huo, the disciple is clumsy and can't learn the Void Dancing Technique, so he can't go." ”
Huo Jingyuan stared at Leng Jian and said seriously, "Did you do what I wanted?"
"Forgive my disciple for being ignorant, I really can't learn it, so please don't mention this matter again. Leng Jian said.
"It's not that you can't learn, you're lacking something. Huo Jingyuan said. Leng Jian finally couldn't help but respond: "If I really want human blood as an aid, I won't learn it." ”
"Don't you want to save your companion?"
"Even if it's me. Leng Jian said resolutely.
"If you want to save people, you often have to sacrifice some people, don't you understand this truth?" Huo Jingyuan said.
If you want to harm someone for the sake of saving them, this is not a gentleman's doing. Leng Jian said sternly.
"So, you think you're a decent gentleman?"
"I don't dare to do it, but I will never do anything that violates my conscience. Leng Jian said loudly and unequivocally.
"Well, I appreciate you. Huo Jingyuan patted Leng Jian's shoulder with a smile, and said calmly: "Your eyes tell me that you are consistent, and I didn't misunderstand you." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Leng Jian felt that Huo Jingyuan had something to say, and couldn't help but ask.
Huo Jingyuan then took out a blue book from his arms, taught Leng Jian and said, "This is the secret book I compiled, and I will give it to you now, you will understand it if you read it carefully." ”
Leng Jian took the blue book, and when he saw the five big characters "Elementary Dancing Technique" written on the cover, he suddenly had doubts in his heart, and then asked Huo Jingyuan: "Didn't you teach me all the basic skills before?" Why did you ......?"
"I said, what are you still missing...... Huo Jingyuan intercepted, "You will understand after reading it, often seeing is not necessarily believing, don't be blinded by superficial phenomena." With that, he smiled slightly, folded his hands, turned around and walked out.
Leng Jian seemed to think of something, stood for a while, then opened the blue book in his hand, and browsed page by page at a very fast speed, and saw the end in one breath, and his heart suddenly became enlightened, and when he closed the book, the gloom on his face had dissipated, replaced by a smile of relief.
"It turns out that human blood does not refer to eating human blood, but to use the blood flowing in my body to open up the meridians in my body. Leng Jian thought, "This must be a game set up by Mr. Huo to test me, this is a bit of a fuss, right?" He didn't think much about it for the moment, immediately sat down cross-legged, and began to follow the instructions in the book to cultivate the last stage of the Elementary Dancing Void Technique.
It didn't take long for Leng Jian to get up and prepare for a crucial attempt. This time, he was fully sure that he would succeed. As a result, he did it, and there was not much joy in it, because it was expected.
Cold Sword's body floats in the air like a feather, and it glides forward quickly, its feet still but as steady as walking on the ground. After a long test flight, he fell back to the ground and took the blue book from his bosom.
"Mr. Huo said that you can't pass this book on to others, and it's useless to keep this book, so it's better to destroy it. Leng Jian thought so. Having made up his mind, he quickly lit a fire in the suburbs and burned the cheats. Although the book was burned, the contents were firmly imprinted in his mind, and he himself was a living secret book.
After finishing the matter, Leng Jian immediately used the Dancing Sky Technique, and first returned to the mountain where he first encountered the Demon Dragon, but did not find Long Ayaxiao, and finally had to turn to the Demon Dragon Valley.
Not to mention how Leng Jian went to the Demon Dragon Valley, and replay the event to decompose the situation of the gentle wind. The dragon had taken away and had not returned to the Valley of the Dragons, but had stopped halfway through. This is because it is injured and cannot fly. The wind was gently lowered on a vast meadow, and the demon dragon lay beside her, blood spilling from time to time, and her breath was very weak at this time.
The wind was soft, and she sat down on the ground, her body trembling slightly, and she didn't dare to move a bit. Suddenly, the demon dragon let out a low groan, and its wings trembled, as if it was about to struggle to get up. Feng Qingru was taken aback, her beautiful eyes widened, and she stared at the demon dragon and walked back a few feet in succession. The demon dragon only moved its body for a moment, and then froze again, and two sharp eyes shot straight ahead, as if it was on high alert. Feng gently sensed the abnormality, and followed the gaze of the demon dragon, although it was only a hurried glance, but it made her gasp, this surprise was not trivial! It turned out that in the jungle ahead, I don't know when a giant leopard as big as a fighting bull and black as an ink bucket came out, and the two golden eyes were like two ghost fires in the dark night, burning fiercely.
In terms of size, this black panther is undoubtedly a small thing compared to the demon dragon, but the demon dragon was seriously injured, and it was difficult to decide the outcome when the two beasts fought. It was this panther that the dragon was guarding, but the panther's prey was not the dragon, but the gentle wind.
The panther was cracking its mouth, glaring, and letting out a low howl, and in a moment it spread its legs and galloped softly towards the wind. At this time, the wind was soft, and she was a few feet away from the dragon, and she was completely exposed to the black panther's target range.
Seeing the panther getting closer and closer, the wind was gently disproportionate, and the overwhelming fear swept over her, so that she forgot to run away. In fact, she simply had nowhere to run. The panther roared, and its body leaped sharply, and swooped down softly towards the wind. At the last moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew up, blowing the black panther that jumped into the air. It turned out that it was the demon dragon who fanned the huge right wing and saved the wind gently. The panther rolled on the ground a few times, staggered to its feet, shook its body, and then craned its neck and let out a demonstrative roar at the dragon, more like a provocation.
