I practice ruthless way

Xiao Man gestured to Rong Yuan, telling him to stand still under the tree, walked over, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Rong Yuan is holding a food box in his hand, the box is engraved with runes to keep the temperature of the food in the box.He opened the lid of the box, took out a medicine cup and a medicine bottle from inside, handed them to Xiao Man, and said, "Peak Master asked me to deliver medicine to you."

Jiantong was only about ten years old, small in stature, Xiao Man was much taller than him, this movement of raising his head and holding the medicine cup high seemed a bit strenuous.Although Xiao Man didn't like Yan Wushu anymore, he couldn't get bored with the child, and didn't want to embarrass him, so he took the medicine cup into his hand.

"The peak master told you to drink up the medicine." Rong Yuan said seriously.

Xiao Man said "hmm" and started to drink medicine.

This medicine was very bitter and astringent, if it wasn't for those years of taking decoctions in the Jokhang Temple and getting used to the bitter taste, Xiao Man almost vomited it out.

Rong Yuan put his hands behind his back, tiptoed on the ground, finally couldn't hold back, and asked the doubts in his heart:

"Your Highness, why did you come to Bai Hua Peak?"

"Why don't you just practice at Xueyi Peak? There are so many noisy people here, but Xueyi Peak has a lot of aura and few people are quiet. If you encounter a problem, you can directly ask the peak master. Isn't it better than Bai Huafeng?"

Concerned about the constant traffic around him, Rong Yuan's voice was very soft.Xiao Man held his breath and drank the medicine, handed the medicine cup back to him, and said, "In a few years, you will come here too."

"That being said... hey, if the peak master doesn't answer, you won't answer either." Rong Yuan sighed, took out a small paper bag from another compartment of the food box and opened it: "Your Highness, please use candied fruit."

"No need." Xiao Man waved his hand.

"This medicine smells bitter, take one, Your Highness." Rong Yuan insisted.

Xiao Man couldn't resist him, so he took one and stuffed it into his mouth.

Rong Yuan handed over something else, it was a white jade ring for storage, engraved with the logo of Gushan, the workmanship was exquisite, but the grade was not too high.

"This is the Qiankun ring that Bai Huafeng sent you. It contains books, martial arts and clothing. When I was looking for you earlier, I brought it for you along the way." Rong Yuan said.

"Thank you." Xiao Man raised his hand and rubbed Rong Yuan's head.

Xiao Jiantong smiled a bit shyly: "It's just a matter of distance."

Xiao Man put away the Qiankun Ring.Rong Yuan raised his face again, as if he wanted to say something, he hesitated to speak.Xiao Man asked: "Aren't you going back?"

"Your Highness, when are you going back?" Rong Yuan rubbed his hands, his voice was low.

"You want to know?" Xiao Man took a deep look at Rong Yuan.

Jiantong lowered his head: "...The peak master also wants to know."

"He won't want to know." Xiao Man's tone could not hear any emotion, "When it's time to go back, he will naturally go back. Just go about your own business."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to Qu Hanxing and Mo Juntian.

Qu Hanxing's nose fluttered, and he took a closer sniff, and said, "It smells like medicine, that kid gave you medicine? Brother Man, are you sick?"

"Well, it's a bit of an old illness." Xiao Man said in a low voice.

"Is it important?" Mo Juntian asked with concern.

Xiao Man: "I'm used to it."

Qu Hanxing clenched his fist with his right hand, slapped it into the palm of his left hand, and said seriously: "So, then you must work hard to cultivate, and when the realm rises, no matter what stubborn illness you have, it will no longer be a problem."

"Well, I hope so." Xiao Man smiled.

As time goes by, the wind reverberating and turning in the mountains is no longer cool, the singing of birds is gone, and the only thing around is the noise of cicadas except for the voices of people.

Everyone got up early, and because they had just finished eating, they were inevitably a little sleepy. Qu Hanxing yawned as he walked, and said, "It's rest time until the end of noon. Brother Man, which dormitory is your dormitory?" ?”

Xiao Man narrowed his eyes: "Bai Huafeng never arranged a dormitory for me."

"Ah?" Qu Hanxing and Mo Juntian stopped at the same time.

"How could this be?" they wondered.

Xiao Man's tone was calm, "It is said that the occupancy is full."

This is the answer given by the leader of Baihua Peak himself last night, and the credibility is actually not high.After Xiao Man went back, he thought about it carefully, almost everyone in Gushan knew that he was Yan Wushu's Taoist companion, if Bai Huafeng really gave him a home, it might cause Xueyi Peak to be dissatisfied.It is reasonable for the peak master of Baihua Peak not to want to take this muddy water.

The two people in front of them didn't know this, so they couldn't help worrying: "Then where do you live?"

"Xueyi Peak." Xiao Man told the truth.

"hiss!"

"hiss!"

Qu Hanxing and Mo Juntian spoke in unison, with expressions of shock and envy.Xiao Man was teased and smiled, the smile was very short, and after a while, he recovered his expression, and said lightly:

"It's just a temporary stay."

Qu Hanxing said "So that's how it is", and after thinking about it, he had new doubts: "Why did Gushan agree to you living in Xueyi Peak? Ah no, how could the master of Xueyi Peak agree to you living there? You know, that is One of the most difficult places to enter in the Lonely Mountain!"

This question caused visible hesitation to appear on Xiao Man's face.

"Ah, it's fine if you don't want to answer, as long as you have a place to live." Qu Hanxing realized that he was too inquisitive, "Why don't you go to our place to rest at noon? It's very troublesome to go back and forth between the two peaks."

"Thank you." Xiao Man rolled his eyes and smiled, "But I'm new to Bai Huafeng, and I'm not very familiar with the places, so I can't go around if I want to."

"Do you want us to take you shopping?" Mo Juntian asked.

Xiao Man shook his head: "It's not necessary, I won't get lost."

"Then don't miss the time, the class starts in the late afternoon, so you must arrive at the training ground on time!" Qu Hanxing reminded.

"I will." Xiao Man said.

The group broke up here, Qu Hanxing and Mo Juntian headed north, Xiao Man headed south.

The scenery of Baihua Peak is quite different from that of Xueyi Peak.

The aura on Xueyi Peak is more than that on Baihua Peak, because many rare flowers and trees are planted on the mountainside, attracting exotic animals to live there, while Baihua Peak has none.However, there are many people on Baihua Peak. Even during the rest time, you can still see practitioners. They are practicing swords or cultivating qi and regulating breath. There are prosperous and vigorous scenes everywhere.

Xiao Man walked slowly on the mountain road, occasionally birds landed on his shoulders and rubbed against him, and occasionally received fruits from them. When he was tired, he found a secluded place and sat down to adjust his breath.

At the end of the day, the sun fell to the west, and the swordsmanship class began.

"Boundaries are all created."

This is the most widely circulated sentence in Gushan, and it is regarded as the supreme truth by the disciples of Gushan.Because of this, every day from the end of the day to the next hour is the time for the disciples on Bai Hua Peak to practice with each other—that is, the swordsmanship class.

The location is in the training field, the venue is extremely spacious, and it is boundless as far as the eye can see. Xiao Man, Qu Hanxing, and Mo Juntian are standing on the southwest side, and there is no one in the three-foot radius.

Qu Hanxing raised the sword in his hand and asked Xiao Man, "Brother Man, if you know how to shoot arrows, do you know how to sword?"

Xiao Man took out the iron sword used by low-level disciples from the Qiankun Ring given by Bai Huafeng, looked at it carefully, and said: "I have never used it."

"Then what should you do?" Mo Juntian asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"I have read the sword manual." I have also seen people practicing sword moves.He has known Yan Wushu for too long, and he has seen this man practicing sword practice too many times, maybe Yan Wushu never knew that he had engraved Gushan's swordsmanship into his heart long ago.

His expression was indifferent and calm, and his words were confident, but Qu Hanxing was extremely shocked: "I've only read the sword manual? When did I read it? Couldn't it be before..." He was a little desperate as he spoke.

Xiao Man smiled slightly at Qu Hanxing.

Mo Juntian, who was younger than the two of them, sighed, held his forehead, and said: "In that case, you two should be in a team, and I'll go find someone else, so there shouldn't be any trouble."

"Don't bother you, I can..." Xiao Man declined his kindness, and as he spoke, his gaze met a person on the east side.

That person was wearing Jiqing clothes, and it was Wei Chuyun who had a brief conversation at the Five Drum Tower.Wei Chuyun's gaze contained a sense of probing, as if he really hoped to fight Xiao Man.

During the previous walks, Xiao Man remembered the family behind Wei Chuyun.

The Luochuan Wei family is a well-known cultivation family with profound heritage and rich family traditions.It seems that this family has never had anyone with middle and lower roots, and all factions must contend for the younger generation.

The Wei Chuyun in front of him, one of the only three disciples in Baihua Peak who possessed the upper realm of embracing the emptiness, had a faint sign that half of his foot had stepped into the realm of defense, and was a very worthy opponent at this stage.

Xiao Man planned to fight this Wei Chuyun, but Qu Hanxing held his arm.

Qu Hanxing interrupted Xiao Man's idea, and said in a low voice: "Look carefully, how many people here are staring at you with cannibalistic eyes, and they are not convinced that you appeared in the middle and snatched away Yousheng—including that Wei Chuyun! You have never practiced swords before, and you will definitely suffer a disadvantage if you are in a group with others at this time."

Mo Juntian followed suit and nodded: "This is not to bother us, I have practiced with Han Xing for two years, and I can't always fight against each other, and I don't see the routine of identifying people, so this is also an opportunity."

"Yes." Qu Hanxing said, "Speaking of which, you hit me with the bow last night, and I've been thinking of asking for advice!"

The young man's kindness is unreserved, from his eyes to his words are sincere.

Xiao Man's slightly drooping eyelashes trembled, and warmth flooded into his heart.This was the first time in his life that someone put himself in his place for the acquaintance.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Man nodded to them: "Okay."

"Well, that's the deal!" Mo Juntian carried the sword and went elsewhere.

Qu Hanxing showed a smile, played sword flower again, and asked: "Shall I practice with you first?"

"No, just do it in your usual way." Xiao Man refused.

Qu Hanxing: "Really?"

Xiao Man: "Of course."

"Brother Man, you are very bold. This is what you asked for, so I will not be polite!"

"Please move."

The two looked at each other and smiled, holding their swords to salute each other.

There are a total of six moves in Gushan's entry-level swordsmanship, and Qu Hanxing started with the third move "I don't know if spring is here".This move is to jump up towards the opponent and then sprint, and immediately after the wrong body, the sword is backhanded, stabbing the opponent's back.

Using this move, Qu Hanxing's speed is extremely fast, and his figure is hard to catch, which made Xiao Man look at him differently, saying that he is indeed a person who fought to the final stage by running away and dodging.

Xiao Man was thinking about how to dismantle the move, but Qu Hanxing had just arrived halfway when a wooden stick fell from the sky.

Qu Hanxing put all his body and mind on the sword and Xiao Man, and he was not on guard against the aliens. He was knocked on the ground with a bang, and fell face down, splashing dust all over the floor.

The instructor landed on the ground at the same time as him, clawed back the wooden stick, and said: "This is a swordsmanship class. What you learn and compare is swords, not other things. I took off the light-weight talisman!"

Only then did Qu Hanxing remember that the soles of his feet were still stuck to this thing, so he hurriedly tore it off, and sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry, Teacher, I came in such a hurry, I forgot."

Teacher Lengheng put Qu Hanxing's light body talisman into the Qiankun Ring: "Keep it for you, let's start over."

After the teacher left, Xiao Man stretched out his hand to Qu Hanxing, and when he saw his disheveled face, he couldn't help but laugh.

"This is one of the rules of the swordsmanship class. You must keep it in mind, otherwise it will be my end just now." Qu Hanxing held Xiao Man's hand and stood up. The sword swung towards Xiao Man.

sneak attack.

I used the first form of the introductory swordsmanship.

Xiao Man quickly avoided.

This move has a very beautiful name, it is called "Spring Breeze Blowing the Threshold". From the sword manual, it can be seen that this move is very soft, light and soft, as if it cannot find the point of strength.Invoked by Qu Hanxing, it becomes sticky when entangled with people, making it extremely difficult for people to get away.

Xiao Man sideways backed away several times, and every time he managed to dodge, the blade of the sword came again.

He raised his eyebrows, feeling a little interesting.

"Hey, Brother Man, this is the result of my hard work for two and a half years." Qu Hanxing smiled proudly.

Xiao Man didn't answer, and turned around to avoid the sword's edge.

Qu Hanxing chased him, Xiao Man dodged it, and then chased him with his sword, the sword was sticky and sticky, making it extremely difficult to get rid of.

At this moment, Xiao Man did not back away.He raised his eyelids, flipped his wrists, stood in front of the sword, and walked towards Qu Hanxing.

He took two steps.

The first step is to take the shock position, the sword in the hand is raised from bottom to top, and it meets and touches the opponent's sword light at a tricky angle, and then cuts forward!

After slashing through, he took the second step, using the "I don't know Chunzai" style of sprinting footwork, and the moment he crossed the body with Qu Hanxing, he threw the sword in the opposite direction!

bang-

A blow hit the hilt of the sword, and the sword in Qu Hanxing's hand fell to the ground.

Xiao Man withdrew his sword, turned around and backed away, and the corner of his plain white clothes danced and fluttered in the void, casting a fleeting arc of light.

Qu Hanxing stayed in place for a while, looking at his hand holding the sword just now, and then at Xiao Man, as if he couldn't believe it: "Isn't it? I started practicing this move when I first entered Gushan, you just looked at it Just break the sword manual for me?"

"Although I don't know much about swords, I have studied Buddhism for many years, and all dharmas in this world are always connected. Besides, as long as you observe patiently and carefully, you can find flaws in all moves." Xiao Man said gently, "I avoided you earlier. I have used my sword many times, just looking for a flaw, just now, the first step forward, the place where the sword is swung is the weakest part of your offensive. Breaking through that place, it is naturally beneficial to launch an attack."

"Besides, this move of yours is very unique and quite ingenious, so you can't swing your sword too hard, but skillfully and quickly."

Qu Hanxing seemed to have realized something, nodded, "How fast?"

"Just pass you." Xiao Man said.

"Brother Man, your words are full of provocation." Qu Hanxing raised the corners of his lips, and picked up the sword from the ground: "Come again!"

Xiao Man naturally said "OK".

The two started to fight again, and Qu Hanxing still used the move of "spring breeze blowing the threshold" as his main offensive method. This is the move he has practiced the longest and has the deepest experience, so he strives to be better.

Xiao Man took this opportunity to explore the six forms of Gushan's introductory swordsmanship, stabbing, splitting, pointing, and picking, from form to meaning, and gradually became familiar with it.

After a long time, Xiao Man was sweating lightly on his back, and Qu Hanxing was sweating like rain.The two stopped exchanging ideas and leaned against the tree to rest. Qu Hanxing took out a water bag and took a sip, and threw it to Xiao Man. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the instructor who had taken away his lightweight amulet earlier came over.

Qu Hanxing reflexively stood up straight, but the instructor was not looking at him, but Xiao Man: "I heard that you just came here today."

"Yes." Xiao Man replied.

"Have you learned Gushan swordsmanship before?" asked the instructor.

"He didn't. He took the time to look at the sword manual after dinner today." Qu Hanxing interrupted.

The instructor looked at Xiao Man: "You don't look like you have practiced swords at the beginning, not bad, not bad, do two tricks with me?" He said "Not bad" twice in a row, obviously very satisfied.

Qu Hanxing laughed and said, "Teacher, you are an old man who returns to Yuanjing, isn't it suitable?"

Xiao Man returned the water bag to Qu Hanxing, walked out from under the tree, and said in a warm voice: "It's okay, the teacher wants to guide me."

The teacher glared at Qu Hanxing, and nodded at Xiaoman: "Not bad."

Xiao Man saluted the teacher with his sword in hand.

Learn to return the gift.

The next moment, the fight began.

The teaching realms taught at Bai Huafeng are all in the Guiyuan realm, which is two realms higher than their group of beginners.In the last life, Xiao Man's realm went from Guiyuan to Taixuan, and he is no stranger to the realm of this teacher in front of him, so he is not very afraid.

The instructor's way of making moves was never aggressive. He guided Xiao Man to make moves in an appropriate and measured way, helping Xiao Man deepen his understanding of the six basic moves.

The process of their battle is very slow, every move, every style, even every step, every turn, strive for a stable word.It didn't stop until the sun went down and the afterglow on the practice field was burning.

The teacher knocked down Xiao Man's sword.

The iron sword was lying on the ground, covered with dust.Xiao Man's face was covered with sweat, his chest heaved and heaved, he was panting constantly, his complexion was pale and tired, but there was light in his eyes, and he was in a very excited state.

Losing, of course, he understood quite a lot of things, such as the connection between moves, the changes of moves themselves, how to dismantle moves in the face of different moves, how to combine existing moves into different moves...

There are so many things to learn and practice, Bai Huafeng really didn't come in vain.

"You have a lot of advantages. You have no timidity, no evasion, and a firm will. It only took a very short time to imitate its shape to understand its meaning, and your talent is excellent." The teacher looked at Xiao Man and said slowly, "As long as you work hard, you will be famous all over the world in the future."

Xiao Man bowed to him, "Thank you, Teacher, for your compliment."

"But there is one thing, an extremely important point." The teacher changed the topic, "Your sword moves too hastily and too quickly. For beginners, you may be able to quickly get rid of fellow practitioners and advance through the realm before them, but If things go on like this, it will be difficult to lay a solid foundation. Remember, haste makes waste, and we must slow down in the future.”

"..." Xiao Man lowered his eyes, "You taught me well, and my disciple will definitely correct me."

It was Youzheng, and the swordsmanship class had ended for a long time, except for them, there was almost no one left in the practice field.

With a wave of his sleeve, the teacher sent the sword on the ground back to Xiao Man's hand, and the wind flew away.

Holding the sword, Xiao Man stood there for a moment, recalling what he had learned before, and turned to look at Qu Hanxing.

The latter had been watching the battle just now, learned a lot from the fight between Xiao Man and the teacher, and was pondering in his heart, when he caught Xiao Man's eager eyes from the corner of his eye, he immediately shivered:

"Brother Man, take it easy, it's time to go to Wugulou for dinner! If you don't go, there will be no dinner!"

Previously, he and Xiao Man had tried dozens of moves, and his waist was sore and his legs were weak, but Xiao Man had obviously gained a lot, and his state was quite full. Now, what is the difference between fighting Xiao Man and fighting?

"All realms are created." Xiao Man uttered the most reasonable words of Gu Shan, and walked towards Qu Hanxing.

Qu Hanxing grabbed the sword and ran away: "Hungry! Brother Man, I'm so hungry! Let's eat first!"

He even used the Lightness Talisman, Xiao Man sighed, but as he was walking, he suddenly felt a stabbing pain in the back of his head, flowers bloomed in front of his eyes, his vision was blurred, and Qu Hanxing's voice seemed to come from a distant place , I can't really hear it.

Fortunately, this state lasted only for a moment, and after a moment, the sound and color returned to their original state.

Xiao Man stabilized his figure and continued to move forward.

Qu Hanxing didn't notice Xiao Man's abnormality at that moment, and still ran outside the practice field.

Mo Juntian ran over from another direction, shouted "Wait" at Qu Hanxing, then raised his hand to cover his face, and said to Xiao Man in a very low voice: "There is someone outside the practice field watching you. "

"Just look at it." Xiao Man said indifferently.

"I've never seen him in Bai Huafeng before." Mo Juntian frowned, "He doesn't look too old, but he can't see his cultivation level, and he can't even figure out his expression."

"where?"

Mo Juntian pointed in a direction.

Xiao Man had a guess in his heart, but felt that it shouldn't be. Turning his head to look, he realized that it was really the man leaning under the tree, playing with a folding fan, wearing black clothes, and having silver hair like frost.

Yan has no books.

"Do you know him?" Mo Juntian asked.

"I don't know." Xiao Man retracted his gaze and said lightly.

Mo Juntian said "Oh": "Then let's go quickly, it's already a bit late, if it's a little later, there will be no food in Wugulou."

The setting sun is about to burn, and the afterglow elongates the figure.Xiao Man and Mo Juntian walked towards Qu Hanxing, and the three of them gradually walked away from the practice field together.This person was dressed in plain white and was dyed gorgeously, and the corners of his clothes fluttered in the wind like a butterfly's wings dancing lightly. He held a sword in one hand, and his slender waist was tied in a girdle, making him look extraordinarily beautiful and fragile.

Yan Wushu narrowed his eyes slightly, threw up the folding fan in his hand, and spread his five fingers to catch it.

Speaking of which, Yan Wushu seldom took care of Xiao Man's personal affairs.He has always respected Xiao Man's wishes, and will not interfere with Xiao Man's decision, nor will he intervene unless Xiao Man speaks to him.However, he and Xiao Man have known each other and lived together for many years, and he has never been disturbed by anything from Xiao Man.

This is different from most of the people Yan Wushu has met.Xiao Man was by his side, always staying quietly and obediently, always responding to his calls, and the tea he made was very suitable for him.

So on Xueyi Peak, he looked up from the complicated deduction, and he didn't see the person sitting under the window reading Buddhist scriptures, he was not used to it.

Kirishima encountered a problem. He couldn't figure out which stars the so-called "some stars will deviate from their original trajectories", so he left the Taoist temple on a whim and came to Bai Huafeng to look for Xiao Man.

He learned swords well and made friends, but he ignored him?

Yan Wushu snorted softly, grabbed the folding fan and followed behind the three of Xiao Man.

He kept an extremely shameless distance, so that Qu Hanxing and Mo Juntian couldn't detect it, but Xiao Man just noticed—Xiao Man is a phoenix, and his hearing and perception are much better than ordinary people.

After walking for a while, Xiao Man really stopped.

"I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do, so I won't go to Wugu Tower with you." Xiao Man lowered his eyes and said to Qu Hanxing and Mo Juntian.

"Okay, see you tomorrow." The two bid farewell to Xiao Man without any doubt.

He threw the sword into the Qiankun ring, breathed deeply, then turned around and walked towards Yan Wushu.

The afterglow of the setting sun spread over the mountains like water, and the wind at dusk began to roar, lifting Yan Wushu's black sleeves into the air.Xiao Man looked at his sleeves, slowly moved his gaze upwards, fixed his eyes, and asked:

"What is Ling Guang-jun here for?"

"Take you home." Yan Wushu said it naturally.

This is not a request for consultation, but a notification.When the voice fell to the ground, his sleeves fluttered lightly, and he had already disappeared from the spot with Xiao Man, and returned to Xueyi Peak.

There was a fragrance of flowers in the courtyard, and the rocking chair on the promenade was shaken by the wind. Yan Wushu pushed Xiao Man into the rocking chair, put away the folding fan, pointed his index finger between his brows, and drained his spiritual power: "Your spiritual wound has not healed yet. Time should rest."

Other people's spiritual power flows wantonly in the meridians, even leading one's own spiritual power to cater to its rules, there is an unspeakable sense of being invaded.

Xiao Man subconsciously wanted to knock off Yan Wushu's hand, but then he realized that the injury to his soul would affect his practice. He had used the Mingyue Fenglu he got from Tan Wenzhou, the master of Xingyun Peak, last night. Medicine for this kind of injury, but every plant and tree here is written by Yan Wushu.

He couldn't come up with medicine to treat the injury, and the injury would not heal itself in a short period of time, so there was no other way but to rely on the person in front of him.

With his slightly raised hand hanging down to his side, Xiao Man was angry that he was useless, and blamed himself in his heart, naturally he should not have said Yan Wushu's words.

Yan Wushu waited for a while without replying, and asked again: "Why do you suddenly want to learn swords?"

Xiao Man remained silent.

Yan Wushu snorted: "This question, even if you don't answer me now, you will still have to answer it at the sword test meeting half a year later."

Still silent.

After a long time, Yan Wushu healed Xiao Man's injuries. Xiao Man raised his eyes and asked softly, "You really want to know?" profound.

In fact, you can ignore Yan Wushu's trickery, but suddenly, Xiao Man felt that it would be okay to answer.

The author has something to say:

Xiao Man: I want to learn from the barbarians to control the barbarians.
