Chapter 4:

Apprenticeship

People in the Jianghu



Luo Tianqiu is still lying awake.

Jiang Xuefeng gently held him in his arms and whirled back to the ridge. There is a cave, which can be used as a temporary shelter. There is a small square window on the wall of the cave, and the light in the cave is still bright. Jiang Xuefeng put Qiu Er on the stone bed and pulled the quilt to cover it.

Jiang Xuefeng sat on the stone bench, reached into his arms and took out the square box hidden in his arms.

At the moment of opening the iron box, the chamber was filled with fragrance. There was a wooden box inside the iron box. The wooden box was made of sandalwood to prevent moths. The box maker was thoughtful!

Open the lid of the box, there is a yellow tarpaulin bag inside. Remove the tarpaulin, and the words "thunderbolt" stand out. At this time, the light in the cave is getting dim. I think it is already dusk. Jiang Xuefeng lit the flint, lit the oil lamp on the table, closed the wind window, and looked at the "thunderbolt" carefully with the light.

Jiang Xuefeng is a versatile man in both literature and martial arts. He read the esoteric words in the secret script of "Thunderbolt from the Dark Sky" and understood them. He had memorized them several times. He then crossed his knees to settle down, followed the pithy formula in "Thunderbolt from the Dark Sky", and swallowed his breath in the Dantian. For a moment, I only felt that the whole body was full of Qi, and the "Zifu Qi" in hundreds of acupoints in my body was like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, impacting all the gateways. My body was like a fire burning, and my clothes and clothes expanded into a big ball. The objects in the cave seemed to be hit by a swirl, and the oil lamp flame increased and overturned in the opposite direction.

It took two hours for Jiang Xuefeng to feel comfortable, and his internal breathing was much smoother than before. He was very energetic. After decades of cultivation, he suddenly understood the essence of palm technique.

"Haoyang Divine Skill" is really peerless, and it is difficult to practice if it is not Jiazi's skill; Otherwise, you will be possessed and even worried about your life. No wonder Brother Luo Chunqiu failed to learn for a long time. It was only because they were cautious and modest and did not force them to die.

A few days later, Jiang Xuefeng practiced "Haoyang Magic" and "Haoyang Palm" while curing Qiu Er's wounds. It was almost a month after Qiu Er's injury was healed, and Jiang Xuefeng's "Haoyang Palm" had also been initially practiced. Once the "Haoyang Palm Technique" is used, the moves are extremely hard and powerful, and the true qi is frightening. A piece of hard rock, through which his true qi is fused, unfolds his palms, and the surrounding rocks are flying around. The sand and stones are everywhere, cutting the forest like vegetables; The sharp stones that protrude from the ground like bamboo shoots are ground smooth in the shaking of even sand. In a few days, Qiu Er recovered. With Qiu Er, Jiang Xuefeng raced through the mountains. Within a few days, the old and the young had returned to the cave in the Gaoligong shoulder mountain where Jiangxue Peak was cultivated.

The shoulder high mountain is located in a peak at the ridge of Gaoligong. The surrounding peaks are covered with snow all the year round. The center is low and tens of zhang, and there is a flat land of 100 zhang square. When viewed from the top, it looks like a round basin, so it is called "Tianpan". The wind and snow around the basin are blocked by the peaks and rocks. The climate is mild and suitable. The ancient trees are towering and lush. The central flat land is covered with green grass, and the top of the mountains. There is also such an oasis fairyland in the ice and snow world. It is amazing. It is really different.

The cave where Jiang Xuefeng lives is at the foot of the mountain in the basin. On the trees near the cave, there are many golden monkeys climbing and picking fruit. They jump and play. When they see the two people, they still stare at them and blink, but they just don't come down. They look very intelligent. A little ahead, the monkeys ran around, and there was no trace in the twinkling of an eye. I saw a huge stone. With a gentle push, the huge stone slowly moved away, revealing a ten-meter-long hole. After entering the hole and turning several turns, I reached the central stone chamber. Stone tables, stone benches, stone beds, etc. are all available. On the table are green stone cups, which are carved from jadeite raw stone. The stone room is spacious and dazzling because there are countless gemstones embedded in the stone wall. These gemstones are all glittering and dazzling, which were collected from the jungle of Myanmar's foreign countries near Gaoligong.

Luo Tianqiu looked at the dazzling jadeite utensils and colorful gemstones in the room. He was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a moment.

"Chou son, sit down quickly." Jiang Xuefeng smiled at the lovely child.

"Are you hungry? Go to the door and get some fruit!"

Qiu Er was stunned again. When he entered the room just now, there was indeed a green slate at the door, but it was bare. Where was the fruit? Do you want him to pick on the tree? How tall that tree is! Looking at Jiang Xuefeng's eyes again, it seems that he can't see why. It doesn't seem that he should go to the tree to pick it. Luo Tianqiu murmured to the cave mouth. However, he found that the bare slate was already full of fruit. Tian Qiu ran into the stone room with fruit in his arms and ate a few of them. I just think those fruits are fresh, crisp and delicious.

"The monkeys here are quite intelligent. They send many fresh fruits every day and become my" best friends ". Ha ha!" The old man smiled and took Qiu Er's hand, walked to the back of the bed, and pushed gently on the stone wall, which was originally a heavy door. Qiu Er followed the old man into the room. There was another arrangement here. There were many paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls on all sides, and a diagram of human body acupoints. On the right stone table, there were four study rooms. The huge "mountain" shaped pen holder was inlaid with a gem the size of a chicken egg, which was radiant. There are many thick books on the stone shelf, and most of them can't be named by Qiu Er. On the left, there are two large armchairs, on which you can sleep. On the middle stone table, there is a red stone flower. The old man told him that it is a red bar coral growing in the sea.

Luo Tianqiu sat down and carefully studied the calligraphy and paintings on the wall. One of them attracted him. The words on it were "The thread in the hands of a loving mother swam over her jacket. Before leaving, the seams were tight, and he was afraid of returning late..." It reminded him of his dead parents, and his nose was almost going to fall with tears. He will never see his kind parents again in this life, and he has become an orphan! Now I'm glad to meet this kind old man. He can only revenge for his parents if he practices peerless martial arts.

Martial arts practice and revenge took root in his little soul.

Suddenly, he had an idea. He slipped down from the seat and knelt down in front of the old man. "Old man, please accept me as an apprentice. Let me practice martial arts with you all day long so that I can revenge for my parents!" After that, he kowtowed respectfully to the old man for three times.

Jiang Xuefeng laughed and raised his right hand. Tian Qiu only felt that there was a gentle force to lift his body.

"The little old man is lonely and leisurely all his life, and never accepts an apprentice. I miss you sincerely today, and see that you are intelligent, and will become a great talent in the future. I will make an exception to accept you as an apprentice!" Jiang Xuefeng also said simply.

"Shifu!" Tian Qiu held his hands in front of his chest and wanted to salute him. The sleeve of the old man's robe stretched forward, causing Qiu Er to kneel down.

"Well, TianChou, I will be enough to use your honorific name. In the mountains and fields, I will not have any vulgar manners in the future."

From then on, Luo Tianqiu accompanied Jiang Xuefeng every day to practice the "Purple Mansion Magical Skill" mental skill, "Purple Mansion Magical Skill" and the authentic Xuanmen Great Skill. When Jiang Xuefeng was young, he was taught by Immortal Xu Qizi. After ten years of hard practice and understanding, he deleted and supplemented the mental skill formula, and created an original set of mental skill formula, which was more penetrating than before, and the practice progressed rapidly.

[Note: 1. Jia Zi's skill is 60 years old. A Jia Zi's skill is 60 years old. In addition, Jia Zi's skill is a child's self-cultivation and has no ability to break the body and release qi.

2. Gaoligong, a mountain range in southwest Yunnan, is a transliteration of the name of a Jingpo family. Gaoligong originally meant "the mountain of Gaoli family". Later Han people added "mountain" after "Gaoligong" according to their own habits, and finally formed the name of Gaoligong Mountain. "Gaoligong Mountain" was first seen in the Book of Man.]
