Chapter 3: Cottage Horror (Part II)
The mountain where the Twin Bears Village is located originally had no name, but since the Twin Bears Cottage was established, the mountain has been called Twin Bears Mountain.
Shuangxiong Village is located halfway up Shuangxiong Mountain, Xiao Ziyang quickly climbed to the top of the mountain, taking advantage of the moonlight, condescendingly observing the terrain around the cottage.
During the day, when Xiao Ziyang was exploring around Qinglong Village, he once found traces of fresh human activity in a col that could condescendingly observe the cottage and was not very far from the cottage.
Xiao Ziyang wanted to find a place like this outside the Twin Bear Cottage, if he could guess the location of the person who slaughtered the bandits, maybe he could do something tonight.
Shuangxiong Village is located on a plateau halfway up Shuangxiong Mountain, behind which is a very steep hillside. On this side of the hill there are several platforms formed by huge rocks jutting out of the mountain wall.
Xiao Ziyang chose a platform located seven or eight feet above Shuangxiong Village. This platform is about two or three zhang square.
He chose this place because it was very similar to the col he found outside Qinglong Village, and the field of vision was equally wide.
On this hillside, this small platform stands out and is easy to spot.
After choosing this platform, Xiao Ziyang began to choose his best ambush place again.
He quickly spotted a protruding rock nearly ten feet above the platform.
The rock was not large, but seven or eight feet in circumference, and was hidden by the dense bushes of the hillside, and it would have been impossible to find it had it not been for his location, which happened to be in the sparse gap of the shrubs above the rock.
After choosing a location, Xiao Ziyang slipped down the steep hillside, grabbing the bushes.
In order to avoid leaving too obvious traces and to avoid alarming the people in the cottage, Xiao Ziyang was very careful and spent half an hour landing on the rock.
He drew his two swords from his back, placed them within reach on either side, and knelt on the stone platform, where the dense bushes held him out. He waited quietly.
He tossed around in the back mountain for a long time, and the cottage, which was originally brightly lit and laughed like a ghost crying wolf howl from time to time, had gradually quieted down at this time.
Looking at the cottage, thinking that maybe it won't be long before this place will become a ghost, and all the people will die extremely miserably, Xiao Ziyang's heart is a little unbearable.
He came here to face his cowardice and fear, not to act as a good man.
The status and fame of the Shuangxiong Cottage in the green forest have all been killed, and there are more than 30 bandits in this village, and there are not a few lives in the hands of that one? Although Taifu Shuangxiong is a single person and pays attention to the rules of the road, this does not mean that they are good people, how can a good person be a bandit leader! These two brothers actually treated the merchants and dart masters planted in their hands with extreme cruelty!
In Xiao Ziyang's eyes, there is no one in this Manzhai who should not die!
Xiao Ziyang didn't wait too long. Under the clear moonlight, Xiao Ziyang saw a gray figure from a distance, like a night owl, at the top of the canopy, flying quickly towards the cottage.
The man was extremely fast, with a shadow of a remnant, but after a few breaths, he swept up the mountainside from the bottom of the mountain, and stopped steadily in front of the cottage, the tallest silver locust tree, as light as a feather, with the branches under his feet rising and falling in the breeze.
The man paused for a moment on the branch, as if observing the surroundings of the cottage, and as Xiao Ziyang expected, he quickly discovered this very striking platform protruding from the steep hillside.
Having chosen a target, the man once again took a trail of afterimage, and walked along the dense woods outside the cottage, towards the back of the cottage, the cliff.
Xiao Ziyang lay motionless in the shadows of the bushes, struggling to control his heartbeat and breathing, which had intensified with nervousness.
Xiao Ziyang regretted it, when he saw that person's ghost-like body, he couldn't wait to slap himself twice, what kind of madness did he have, he had to see what was going on!
Although there are many people who say it, in fact, Xiao Ziyang doesn't believe that there are any immortal masters in this world who spit fire and ice, in his opinion, this is too ridiculous, so he must come to find out.
But when he saw the ghostly body of the man, he understood that whether this person was an immortal master or not, once he was discovered, there was only one way to die.
Not only had he never seen such a wonderful light exercise method, but he had never even heard of it.
Previously, Xiao Ziyang thought that the place where he was ambushed was too far away from the platform below, and he was afraid that he would not be able to see clearly, but now, he wished that he was as far away from the platform as possible.
Some people tend to panic when they encounter a crisis, but some people are calmer when they are nervous, and the more they can perform at a super long level.
Xiao Ziyang is undoubtedly the best of the latter. The man walked around from the front of the cottage to the back in a ghostly manner, and it only took four or five breaths before and after, and in this short period of time, Xiao Ziyang had already forcibly calmed himself down.
At this time, he actually closed his eyes and forced himself to forget the danger in front of him, and almost at the same time as the person threw himself on the platform below, Xiao Ziyang entered a very peculiar state.
His breathing became vague, his heart beat extremely slow and weak, and at the same time, even his body temperature dropped rapidly. This is the Turtle Breath Technique.
There are many kinds of turtle breath techniques, and Xiao Ziyang will be the stupidest one, and it is also the most widely spread one on the rivers and lakes, and it is the only one that can be practiced without internal strength.
Xiao Ziyang doesn't know how to do internal kung fu, which is extremely precious, and it is by no means something that a person in a remote place like Dangyang County can learn.
Xiao Ziyanghui's turtle breathing technique is said to have been passed down from jugglers, and it is a kind of kung fu used by jugglers to perform some miscellaneous tricks such as tying a big stone to sink into the water and not dying, and burying it alive for several days without dying.
This is an extremely hard kung fu to cultivate, and it is not of much use except for escaping for your life.
This turtle breath technique also has a huge flaw, it takes a long time to enter the turtle breath state, and it needs to be calm to perform.
When Xiao Ziyang was twelve years old, he learned the kung fu of Lei Da Dart.
Lei Da Dart Head is the head of the Golden Knife Dart Bureau, and he is also Xiao Ziyang's adoptive father.
Over the years, he has not been able to learn new kung fu, so he can only work on the existing kung fu. Even the Turtle Breath Technique, a partial kung fu, was also practiced by him.
Even so, even in the dead of night on weekdays, it would take him twenty breaths to enter the state of turtle breath.
But today, in such a tense situation, he only used three breaths to enter the realm of turtle breath!
This kind of super long play under the pressure of life and death saved his life!
After a while, Xiao Ziyang opened his eyes slightly. At this time, he was in a very peculiar state, drowsy, as if he was asleep.
