who knows

"Since there are new disciples today, as seniors, you should first demonstrate and practice the first three of the Lingxiao Nine Forms." Yan Zichu swept around the gray-clothed disciples in front of him, and suddenly pointed The two uncles and nephews of the You family said casually, "Let the two of you fight against each other."

"Yes." The young You Kangyu showed embarrassment, while the older You Baitao was calmer, winked with his nephew, nodded reassuringly, and then each raised their swords and fought each other.

"The first form, the shepherd boy guides the way." Yan Zichu said unhurriedly with his hands behind his back.

I saw You Kangyu flipped his wrist, leaned forward, raised his sword and stabbed towards the opponent; You Baitao pushed back with his sword, and after picking up the tip of the sword that You Kangyu stabbed, he twisted his waist and swung the sword After making a semicircle and turning back, it turned into him actively attacking You Kangyu, stabbing him at the throat.

"Second move, the spirit monkey explores the moon." Elder Yan casually glanced at You Kangyu, who was almost poked in the throat because he couldn't move in time, so he hesitated, and said calmly.

Sensing his nephew's panic, You Baitao's sword tip trembled slightly, as if there was a force sticking to the opponent's blade, leading him to bend down, hook his left leg backwards, and hit his Jianjing acupoint, holding With a twist of the wrist of the sword, it brushed against the touching blade and swept towards the Zhangmen acupoint on the waist.

This pose is much more difficult than the previous one. Not only does it follow the trend, but it also hits the opponent's upper and middle acupoints at the same time. If the opponent does not return in time, or is accidentally hit by one of the acupoints, then Because of the momentary paralysis, it will be in chaos, and thus fall... But the core of this move is not to hit the enemy's acupuncture points.

Zhong Liqing saw some tricks, but couldn't help but shook her head. From the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the sigh in Yan Zichu's eyes, which confirmed her own guess—Leaving aside this You Baitao, anyway, this You Kangyu must have not understood these three tricks The essence of coherence, otherwise You Baitao would not have seized the opportunity when You Baitao deliberately gave him a move.

The ultimate purpose of the second pose is to take advantage of the opportunity when the opponent is resisting two blows to the Ma acupoint, hold the opponent's pulse gate with his left hand, turn around and get close to the opponent's chest, stand side by side with the opponent, and then sweep the sword in his hand back, Press against the side of the opponent's neck to seal the opponent's movement.

She also saw that the key to this set of swordsmanship should be to restrain the enemy's actions, not to injure, let alone kill.

Therefore, Zhong Liqing thought that these three moves were too peaceful - if she were to attack, then what would stab the opponent would not be just two numb points, but a death point.

"The third move, rebounding the pipa." Yan Zichu only glanced at You Kangyu who barely followed his explanation and completed the counter move. He neither said good nor bad, let alone commented. He waved his hand to signal the two of them to return to the queue of gray-clothed disciples. He broke a branch with his backhand without pruning or polishing it, flicked his wrist lightly, and danced like this.

Zhong Liqing's eyes lit up involuntarily.

——The swordsmanship envoyed by Elder Yan is clearly similar to that of the uncle and nephew of the You family just now, but it is just that small difference, which in the end is completely different in the eyes of everyone, as if they are not practicing the same set of swordsmanship like.

The essence of a set of swordsmanship, besides shape, tactics, spirit, and momentum, is the most important point, which is intention.

This meaning is an idea and an artistic conception.

The appearance of the uncle and nephew of the You family is barely there, and there is no major mistake in the tactics, but the spirit is a lot worse, let alone the fierce and domineering sword, and the artistic conception of this Yanzi Chu sword is too profound, let alone touch it. Threshold, I'm afraid I don't even have the vision of feeling.

That Yan Zichu only practiced these three moves, and then he flung his sleeves and sat cross-legged under the peach tree whose branches he had cut off, calmly and began to practice.

Zhong Liqing only felt that the traces of spiritual power escaping from him were continuously drifting towards the peach tree, and the tree trunk, which was still a little sluggish, seemed to be revitalized and gradually regained its vitality.

——It’s no wonder that there are thousands of disciples here who can each hold a peach wood sword, and these peach trees are still alive and well, one by one, I’m afraid this Elder Yan has spent some spiritual energy for these trees.

Over time, even ordinary plants can become spiritual plants. No wonder the peach wood sword made from this peach tree branch contains spiritual power.

The three-style sword moves are really too simple for Zhong Liqing. I saw the outline when I was watching the gray-clothed disciples practicing by themselves. The uncle and nephew of the You family analyzed the moves thoroughly. I felt that the three-style sword formula seemed to be engraved in my mind.

She didn't know what was going on with the others, but when she watched Elder Yan dancing his sword, she seemed to be able to see a circle of shimmer around the blade, and when he swung it, the peach wood sword seemed to have the roar of a dragon and a tiger. low beep sounded.

Penetrating the eardrums, reaching the general shock of the heart.

Zhong Liqing even felt that she would be crushed to pieces by the momentum of the landslide and tsunami-but in fact, Yan Zichu just demonstrated the three-style sword move in a flat manner, and in the eyes of ordinary people, it was just a move. Uncles and nephews are more standard, with more graceful postures, but nothing special.

Glancing at the calm-looking brothers and sisters of the Ao family, Zhong Liqing almost questioned herself... She turned her head and glanced at Chun Yuxiu, who seemed to be aware of something, and then she felt relieved—it seems that it was not She was the only one who felt the difference.

Elder Yan's sword intent is as majestic as the sea, which is beyond human reach.

Zhong Liqing closed her eyes, went through the movements in her mind first, then raised the sword, and slowly transferred the spiritual power into the mahogany sword in her hand, controlling the trend of the spiritual power, wrapping the mahogany sword little by little, even Even the gaps and holes that were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye were filled and filled, making the sword airtight with spiritual power—after that, she felt that the mahogany sword was more handy and handy.

This process took her two snaps of her fingers, while the others had already started to make sword moves, she closed her eyes intently, as if she had forgotten the sword moves and was trying desperately to recall them.

She doesn't care what others think, but raises the sword slowly according to her own rhythm, imagining in her mind a handsome shepherd boy riding on the back of a green bull, laughing and guiding the way, leaning over and turning his wrist, pointing the tip of the sword at the opponent, flat stabbed out.

She was not using the strength on her waist, nor was she exerting force on her wrists, but was controlling her spiritual power through her divine sense, using the spiritual power wrapped in the mahogany sword to drive her wrists and waist to make that type of movement, imitating it subconsciously Watching the state of Elder Yan's body moving freely - to others, his body is dancing the sword, but Zhong Liqing is using his "mind" to dance the sword.

But obviously, this is not as easy as she imagined.

Her spiritual sense is indeed powerful, but it is the first time for such continuous spiritual power control, let alone control the movement of external objects along the trajectory set by her. Although it seems to be practicing sword art, only she knows it. At the same time, she is also using this method of honing her consciousness and mind to ponder the mysterious and mysterious space power.

In the eyes of others, Zhong Liqing is like an amnesiac in his seventies and eighties. The posture of wielding the wooden sword is unbelievably slow, but the movements are meticulous and meticulous, and the standard is so perfect... until the impatient Tang Yuan finished the whole set For swordsmanship, Zhong Liqing's first move was just about to change to the second move.

And when Zhong Liqing finished practicing the three-style sword moves, she was so tired that her forehead was covered with sweat, there were only a few people left in the huge school field—except for a few disciples who folded their arms and pointed at her while watching jokes , there were only three people who came in together and Tang Yuan who lived with her.

"Oh, it's finally over, you can really dawdle," Ao Youxuan saw Zhong Liqing opened her eyes and looked over, her expression was cold, but her eyes shone like stars, she couldn't help but bit the tip of her tongue suddenly Calling back his sanity, he continued his unfinished ridicule as if nothing had happened, "I thought I was going to watch you fight all day long."

Zhong Liqing frowned, and took out a handkerchief from her sleeve to wipe the fine sweat on her head——she hadn't sweated so much for a long time since she successfully refined Qi. The exercise is really exhausting, but the reward is not small, at least she feels that her spiritual consciousness is more solid now than before practicing sword - although it is only a little growth like a hair.

It's not that this method is ineffective, but it's just too time-consuming. If she can bear her temper, it will take hundreds of years of hard work, and she can carve four mahogany swords like Elder Yan with a wave of her hand.

It's a pity that she couldn't wait that long after all.

Zhong Liqing withdrew the veil, suppressed the complexities in her eyes, and raised her eyes apologetically: "I'm sorry everyone, I was stupid and wasted time."

"It's okay, it's noon anyway, it's time to go to rest!" Tang Yuan waved his hand indifferently, then pulled Zhong Liqing and said happily, "By the way, you haven't been to the dining hall yet, have you? I'll take you Go pick some food! Although the taste is not as good as that of the chefs in the mortal world, it is still very helpful for recovering spiritual power... Well, the little junior sister seems to be consuming a lot, so we should replenish it. let's go!"

Zhongliqing and Chunyuxiu had no doubts, but Ao Shaoshang dragged Ao Youxuan to mutter something, and then ignored the girl's struggle and glaring, and after saying goodbye to several people, he dragged her to the other side go.

In the distance, Zhong Liqing could still hear the words "Sister" and "Excuse me".

Turning around indifferently, he and Chun Yuxiu followed Tang Yuan to the dining hall.

The food in the dining hall is indeed a test of taste buds for those who are used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas. Zhong Liqing is not a person who pays attention to appetite—he has spent a lot of time chewing dry bread while watching anatomy videos. Even if she was taken by A Niang to taste food everywhere later, those years of not knowing what to eat still cannot be spent.

Moreover, in Zhong Liqing's subconscious mind, she doesn't want to think too much about the time she was with A Niang, and even those amazing and unforgettable tastes are put on the shelf of memory, and she doesn't want to compare them.

Seeing Chunyuxiu's expression of being unable to eat but still having to chew slowly, Zhong Liqing couldn't help but smiled slightly, and under her unbelievable eyes, she ate the bland white radish and cabbage in the bowl in two or three bites, and then put down her chopsticks , looking at Chun Yuxiu who still had half of the food left in the bowl, he smiled with a hint of banter.

Her face turned hot, Chunyu, who was always neat and straightforward, took a big piece of white radish and bit it on impulse, and immediately frowned at the jerky taste.

——This taste is really hard to swallow.

Zhong Liqing, who Gu Zi chuckled, didn't know that Chun Yuxiu had already labeled her a "weird crazy" in her heart.

After eating, several people went back to their rooms to rest.

Sit cross-legged on the couch and close your eyes, thinking back to the feeling of wrapping the mahogany sword with spiritual power just now, unknowingly, abundant spiritual power has been gathered around your side, not long after, the acupuncture sheaths around your body were opened, and the spiritual power It penetrated into the body continuously, and combined with the food with spiritual energy that I ate just now, it washed the meridians, and the spiritual power surged as if it was about to rush out of the body.

The mountain range occupied by the Chonghua Sect is the area with the strongest spiritual energy in Qiyang County, and although the Fahui Academy is only an outer door, the concentration of spiritual energy is far different from that of the academy located in the mortal world, so it has passed so much Time, an opportunity touched by her spiritual consciousness, loosened her barriers in the early stage of Qi refining.

Zhong Liqing gritted her teeth and endured the pain of the indiscriminate impact of spiritual power, and tried her best to guide the direction of the spiritual power. As she circulated the spiritual power over and over again to flow through her meridians, at the time of No. 12, the spiritual power seemed to finally It reached a critical point, and Zhong Liqing's tendons could no longer hold any extra spiritual power.

However, the spiritual power around her did not decrease but increased, and even condensed into clusters of spiritual power whirlpools, gathering her in the middle. Finally, those spiritual power whirlpools intertwined and merged into a mass of spiritual power. The fog enveloped Zhong Liqing in it.

A quarter of an hour, half an hour, an hour passed...

When Tang Yuan checked the time, there was still half a quarter of an hour before Weishi's Confucian classics class, and it would be too late if he didn't start, and he couldn't help knocking on the door to call Zhong Liqing, but there was no movement inside.

She pushed the door open curiously and entered, but there was no sign of Zhong Liqing, only a huge white cocoon formed by condensed spiritual power floating on the couch in the room.

Tang Yuan screamed in fright, and immediately drew his own mahogany sword. When his spiritual power gathered, he was about to raise the sword to stab it, but saw that the white cocoon suddenly changed, and a trace of spiritual power escaped from the white cocoon. , and the white callus became thinner and thinner, gradually disappearing.

Finally, the girl sitting cross-legged inside was revealed—it was Zhong Liqing.

"...Little Junior, Junior Sister?" Tang Yuan held his chin in shock, stuttered for a long time, and finally found his voice.

Zhong Liqing waited for the last trace of spiritual power around her to dissipate, then stopped her momentum and opened her eyes leisurely.

Glancing at Tang Yuan's terrified foolishness, she couldn't help but smile slightly. Just as she was about to move, she felt a layer of black and yellow impurities attached to her whole body, and there was even a stench, which was disgusting. Her smile froze, and then A light cough interrupted Tang Yuan's daze: "Yuan Yuan, do you have a bathtub? I want to take a bath."

"Yes, there is, there is, you wait, I'll get you water!" Tang Yuan never expected that in just one morning, the little junior sister who was just at the early stage of qi refining would advance to the middle stage of qi refining, and that advanced The scene is also different, quite strange.

——This little junior sister not only has a calm temperament, but also has an extraordinary background. She will definitely be a lucky person in the future. It seems that I am lucky to be able to live in the same room with her!

Tang Yuan thought happily, and couldn't help but work harder to fetch water, and he didn't even realize Zhong Liqing's change in her address.

Listening to her boiling and fetching water back and forth in the bathroom and the outer courtyard, Zhong Liqing tugged at her sticky clothes, and couldn't help but silently took back the talisman in the Qiankun bag - that's all, since this girl has good intentions, let her go.

She is already in the middle stage of Qi refining, and she is stronger than yesterday's self... Zhong Liqing pulled the corner of her lips, and slowly clenched her fists, feeling the spiritual power of the fist heart, the arc deepened a few degrees point.

The author has something to say: Yan Zichu: Brother Tao, let me heal your wounds.

Peach Tree: Go away!

I suddenly want to be the CP of Elder Yan and Peach Tree Essence hahahahaha

By the way, I will not tell you the sword formula of Lingxiao Nine Forms, the ninth form is called "Old Man Pushing Cart"→_→
