Cloud of the Qing Dynasty

Long Jiu said: "It sounds very dangerous, but you don't seem to be nervous."

Zhang Chi scratched the back of his head with a smile: "I'm just a little guy who asks questions, a small person doing odd jobs in the Wulin League, and I don't have to fight head-on with the Red Lotus Sect. I have nothing to worry about."

"Really?" Long Jiu smiled inexplicably, "But I think Brother Zhang has a clear understanding of the overall situation, which is not comparable to ordinary boys."

"So I'm a very clever guy." Zhang Chi looked up at the sky and said, "Oh, it's about this time, Liu Yun should be back by now, I'll go and have a look."

Saying that, he hurriedly got up and said goodbye, leaving the thoughtful Long Jiu to leave.

***

Because most of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court have no martial arts and internal strength, even if there are many people, they are not very able to deal with martial arts masters. When they pave the way and build camps, if they are attacked by the masters of the Red Lotus Sect, they will definitely suffer heavy losses.Therefore, General Lu mobilized the various sects in the Wulin League based on the principle of using nothing for nothing, and took turns accompanying the army to protect the soldiers.

Today happened to be the turn of the people from the Shangqing Palace to guard the army, and Mu Liuyun followed.It was not until long after Zhang Chi returned to the camp that Mu Liuyun came back with the disciples.

As a result, the two of them hadn't spoken three words before they saw Qin Wuqi walking towards their barracks from a distance. Obviously, like many times before, he came to find Mu Liuyun.

Zhang Chi's mood immediately became a little bad, but Mu Liuyun seemed in a good mood, and even smiled at Qin Wuqi: "Brother Qin."

Qin Wuqi also smiled gently, and his tone was like that of an old friend who has been with him for many years: "Master Dao, you have worked hard with the army today."

"It's just a matter of duty." Mu Liuyun said, "Brother Qin, what's the matter?"

Qin Wuqi seemed to sense the faint resentment emanating from Zhang Chi, so he cut the long story short, took out an old sheepskin ancient book from his bosom, and said, "I recently got a sword manual, which is from a sect that has been extinct for many years - Misty Palace. The secret book of swordsmanship, I heard that the swordsmanship of Misty Palace is light, elegant and unique, but it has been lost for many years. I think the Taoist priest is the best person to study this kind of swordsmanship and make it come back to life. Are you interested in studying this lost sword technique with me?"

"Let me have a look." Mu Liuyun took the parchment, opened it and read it.

On this kind of topic, Zhang Chi couldn't get in his mouth, so he had to go to the side to make tea depressed.

Mu Liuyun watched so intently that he even forgot that Qin Wuqi was still waiting for his reply, until Qin Wuqi couldn't help asking: "Taoist?"

"Hmm..." Mu Liuyun closed the cheat book, "It's interesting that this set of swordsmanship is so slanted."

"I studied for several days before I managed to figure out the general idea. To my surprise, the Taoist priest understood the key point at once." Qin Wuqi admired, "It seems that this secret book is the most suitable for the Taoist priest to practice."

Even if Mu Liuyun doesn't understand the ways of the world, he also knows that it is definitely a great favor for Qin Wuqi to share this precious martial arts secret book with him. He nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Qin."

"You don't need to thank the Taoist priest, on the contrary, I should be thankful. Having a master like the Taoist priest to study swordsmanship together is simply getting twice the result with half the effort." Qin Wuqi said with a smile, "I'm entangled in mundane affairs, so I'll take my farewell first, and come back in a few days Learn this set of swordsmanship from Taoist priest."

"Okay." Mu Liuyun didn't send him off, and opened the cheat book to read.

Qin Wuqi did not forget to say goodbye to Zhang Chi before turning around and leaving.

Zhang Chi finished making tea, and poured a bowl for Mu Liuyun: "Liuyun, the tea is ready."

Mu Liuyun took it and blew on it, and took a sip, but his eyes never left the cheat book.

Seeing that Mu Liuyun was so focused, the bored Zhang Chi also went over to look at the sword manual that Mu Liuyun couldn't put down, but he couldn't understand what was written in the cheat book, let alone the theoretical knowledge of martial arts, he only had a half-knowledge , He still can't even recognize the words on the cheat book.

Although Qin Wuqi has already left, Zhang Chi still feels a little unhappy. From a rational point of view, he also knows that he should be thinking too much. Qin Wuqi's approach and curry favor with Mu Liuyun must be more out of the sect's interests. Thought about it, but the existence of such a person still filled him with a sense of crisis.

Ever since Mu Liuyun became famous in martial arts competitions, there have been many women in the world who have shown favor to him, or those who have daughters or sisters who are not married want to introduce him to him, but as long as Mu Liuyun is convinced He was very insistent on one thing, if he said that he was not close to a woman, he would never be close to a woman, no matter how beautiful a woman he was, he would always speak the truth, Zhang Chi was not too worried about this.

But Qin Wuqi is different, he is also a man, he will not violate Mu Liuyun's oath not to be close to women, and no matter his appearance, family background, ability, knowledge, or manners, he can be called a dragon and phoenix among people, and more importantly, He is good at martial arts, and he and Mu Liuyun had endless conversations about martial arts and swordsmanship.

If it weren't for Qin Wuqi's promise to run a large villa, and he was one of the leaders of the Wulin League this time, he really wouldn't have much time to pester Mu Liuyun.

As for Zhang Chi's gossip, Mu Liuyun just listened to it, but he wasn't really interested at all.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi's mood became even worse. He squatted in front of Mu Liuyun like a puppy, grabbed his knees, leaned against the cheat book with a big face, looked at Mu Liuyun pitifully and said, "Liu Yun, I'm not happy."

Others say that Mu Liuyun has a bad temper, but apart from Zhang Chi being beaten up by him as a murderer who poisoned his classmates when he first met him, he has always felt that Mu Liuyun's character is simply wonderful, and he doesn't know Is Xi Shi in the eye of the beholder, or Mu Liuyun's attitude towards him is really different.

Even when Mu Liuyun is in a good mood, Zhang Chi can act like a baby with him, like now.

Mu Liuyun's gaze finally shifted from the cheat book to his face, and he said helplessly, "What's wrong with you?"

"Every time Qin Wuqi comes, you treat me as transparent." Zhang Chi said sullenly.

Mu Liuyun looked at him inexplicably: "I spend more time with you in a day. Brother Qin occasionally comes to me to learn martial arts or discuss swordsmanship. What do you mind?"

"Occasionally this is too frequent!" Zhang Chi said angrily, "I'm jealous."

Mu Liuyun laughed softly: "You think too much, Brother Qin doesn't have that kind of thought for me."

"Who knows? He's in his early thirties and doesn't even have a wife, but he gives you this and that every other day to please you. I think he's just uneasy and kind."

This is already making trouble for no reason, but Mu Liuyun is not angry, and just looks at him with a smile: "Then, what do you want?"

In fact, Zhang Chi didn't think about what to do, he just wanted to occupy more of Mu Liuyun's attention, and Mu Liuyun's greatest interest was martial arts. In terms of martial arts, Zhang Chi really had nothing in common with Mu Liuyun, so Zhang Chi As soon as his mind got hot, he said, "Liu Yun, teach me martial arts."

"Okay." Mu Liuyun agreed very simply.

"Really?" On the contrary, Zhang Chi was at a loss, "Then what...there is no rule in the Shangqing Palace that martial arts cannot be passed on to others. Do I have to ask you to be a Taoist priest to learn it?"

"It's just some basic martial arts. It doesn't matter. The martial arts school in Qingyun Town also teaches the beginner swordsmanship of Shangqing Palace to people outside the sect every year. If you want to practice more advanced martial arts, you must get started." Mu Liuyun said, "However, you still have to copy the books you have to copy every day. The Wulin League also has things for you to do. Learning martial arts is very hard. Can you bear it?"

Zhang Chi compared his biceps, which were stronger than his own: "Just kidding, I have such a strong body and hard-working spirit, how could it be too much for me!"

As long as he didn't have to go up the mountain to become a little Taoist priest, Zhang Chi felt that everything else was trivial, but he soon began to regret it.

Because Mu Liuyun's requirements for him are really not so strict.

Mu Liuyun said that his martial arts foundation is not good enough and he needs to start from the basics again. He thought that the so-called foundation is just squatting on a horse stance, lifting a stone mill or something, but he forgot that Mu Liuyun is a master of internal skills, and he is not as good as before. The person who taught him martial arts took a completely different path.

For example, every day he was forced to do stretching in various postures that challenged the limits of human beings.

After all, Zhang Chi is almost 20 years old, and he only started to stretch his ligaments at this age, so let alone the pain.

Before going to bed every day, Mu Liuyun will also practice kung fu to dredge the meridians for him, helping him to lay a solid foundation for practicing internal strength, while improving internal strength, it also makes Zhang Chi's trembling hands and feet recover a little bit, and then continues to experience life the next day. Worse than the torment of death.

Zhang Chi only persisted for three days before he began to beg for mercy, but Mu Liuyun said that martial arts should not be abandoned halfway. No matter how Zhang Chi pretended to be good and cried, he still insisted on forcing him to practice basic skills every day. Sometimes he can only let Mu Liuyun ride up and move by himself.

But these are all things for later, a few days later, they moved to the new camp near Baihua Gorge with other martial arts masters, and the real test of the martial arts alliance and the imperial army has just begun.
