Chapter 5:

Going downhill

People in the Jianghu



Ten years passed quickly, and Luo Tianqiu was also learning some martial arts. During that time, his master also taught him a set of "Nineteen Dragon Flying Movements", which was extremely agile. Monkeys and small monkeys in the forest also know this set of boxing, but it's a pity that livestock and beasts can't practice internal skills. Even so, the monkey's body method is extremely sensitive. Tian Qiu and the old monkey often fight against each other, from one-to-one to one-to-ten, and then to be able to fight back and forth between twenty or thirty monkeys. None of the monkeys can get close to him.

For ten years, we have been practicing acupoints every day. From recognizing acupoints, tapping acupoints, hitting acupoints to rushing through the pass, we can recognize acupoints everywhere in the body, even in the dark. In addition, Jiang Xuefeng often instructed Qiu Er to read books and learn etiquette. He is a scholar with great literary talent. Qiu Er also has different tastes in civil and martial arts, and the master and apprentice are also congenial.

Tian Qiu has a lot of books. He often discusses martial arts with Shifu. One is willing to learn, and the other is willing to teach. Qiu Er has no essays and is very good at martial arts.

When I was sixteen or seventeen, I learned martial arts every day, and only stayed with monkeys. Although Shifu was cheerful, he still felt lonely and always wanted to travel down the mountain. Jiang Xuefeng also felt that the child's skill was not weak, so he let him wander outside the mountain alone. Why not? He liked to be leisurely by nature, and was always at ease. Knowing that he was naturally active when young, he allowed Qiu Er to walk outside the mountain.

It is a sunny and sunny day, with flowers blooming at the foot of the mountain and white flowers at the top of the mountain. Luo Tianqiu is relaxed and happy. He leaps on the top of the mountain lightly. His eyes are covered with snow and the air is fresh. His spirit can't help but be refreshed. Tianqiu is filled with emotion. It is "climbing Mount Taishan and making the world smaller". I suddenly felt relaxed and happy in my limbs. Several leaped up and down to a single cliff. A small pink ball rolled up and down in the low-lying area. A closer look showed that there was a vertical stone cave in the low-lying area near the cliff. There was a blue python in the cave, curled up in it, with its head larger than the plate, and its mouth facing up. The scarlet letter in the mouth stretched and spewed, and the pink small ball gathered with the arrow-like letter kept stretching and moving up and down.

Tian Chou was curious and had to look carefully when he bent down. The distance of the ball moving up and down slowly increased to about ten feet. It was only a few feet away from Tian Chou. Tian Chou had heard that the red ball was the essence of the python's cultivation for thousands of years. How smart Tian Chou was. Seeing this rare opportunity, his right hand reached out to catch the pink ball with the power of covering his ears and not so fast. It was too late to turn around. He was like an arrow flying backward. Meanwhile, swallow the red ball into your mouth; At this time, the sound of "squeaking" is like that of a mouse.

When looking back, the python had rushed out of the hole for several meters, like the smoke rising in the sky, and there was no trace of TianChou. TianChou rushed back to the stone room, and immediately crossed his knees to regulate the internal qi. He only felt that the blood was rushing and surging in his body, and burst the second pulse of Ren Du. His whole body was burning like coke. It was extremely hot.

After an hour, I gradually realized that the flow of Qi was smooth and comfortable. After two hours, TianQiu opened his eyes and saw Shifu standing in front of him with a smile.

"Qiu Er, congratulations on your success!" said the master aloud. "Today you have benefited a lot from touring the mountain. Ha ha!"

TianQiu hurriedly got up and told Shifu all about the python he had just met.

"Ha, I have seen it for a long time. Fortunately, the baby Buddha has reached the heart. This python has been cultivating for thousands of years. The pink ball is the essence of its true qi. If you swallow it, you will gain a hundred years of skill. When I watched you enter the meditative movement just now, the true qi of the top gate has risen more than ten feet, far more than that of the master. My true qi can only rise five or seven feet. In the future, just give you a little instruction and give you the formula of 'Haoyang Skill', and the divine skill will be achieved!"

Since that incident, Luo Tianqiu, under the careful guidance of his master, has fully understood the "Haoyang Divine Skill" mental skill pithy formula, and has begun to develop. In the following months, I practiced "Haoyang Palm".

After a day of practice, Jiang Xuefeng said to him, "Qiu Er, according to my opinion, the 'Haoyang Palm' move is just fierce, and the real qi is very powerful. Ordinary Wulin mediocre people don't say the move, I'm afraid the real qi will already fall to the ground when they encounter it, but in this set of palm moves, the defense is tight, hey hey, the attack is not enough! Qiu Er, what's your opinion?"

"I also feel that there are too few moves!" TianQiu feels similar to Shifu

"Well," the old man nodded approvingly.

"This set of 'Thunderbolt from the Dark Sky' is called 'Thunderbolt Palm'. We have Volume I in our hands, but I'm afraid there is Volume II. Then the palm movements contained in Volume II are attack types. It seems that this set of palm techniques is composed of two sets of palm movements."

"Shifu, from the perspective of palms, the two sets of palms are only mutually matched moves."

The master then said, "There is a positive and negative combination of two poles, the Taoist method of yin and yang."

"I'm stupid and think about it carefully. They are still good at learning at the same time. They complement each other and are not enough. This is the time. The palm in the second volume is soft and nimble to make up for the empty door in the 'Haoyang Palm Technique'..."

"Empty gate!" Jiang Xuefeng said in surprise, "Where is the empty gate?"

TianQiu hurriedly said, "What you are talking about is the palm movement. If you say the true qi, the 'Haoyang Palm Technique' is like an iron wall, and there is no empty door to speak of. There is a sentence behind the thunderbolt, 'Tiangang' does not come out, don't move! The person who created this set of palm technique can also see the crux of it. There are many people who steal the 'Thunderbolt', and there are people outside the world, and there are days outside the world, to see through for the strong enemy, and the benefits and blessings are clearly revealed!"

"Qiu Er's words are reasonable and reasonable!" The old man nodded repeatedly and looked at the young man in front of him with approval. No matter his martial arts and knowledge, Qiu Er has been incomparable. He has studied hard for many years and has participated in the cultivation. Among them, he has his own efforts. The old man is very happy.

Luo Tianqiu continued, "It's wonderful if we can see the second volume of the Thunderbolt from the Dark Sky in the future, and combine the two movements into a whole set of palm movements. As long as we have the second volume, I will read it!" Jiang Xuefeng said these words, showing a high spirit of complacency. The old man always talked about this matter with great interest, and suddenly asked Luo Tianqiu, "Qiu has a high understanding. Do you know the true meaning of 'Zifu Divine Skill'?"

"I am stupid, and I only think that 'Purple Mansion Qi' is a unique internal skill with pure yang. After long practice, people will be energetic and have blood. As for its extraordinary and refined effect, I have not figured it out."

"I have studied 'Zifu Divine Skill' for many years, and it has been used for a long time, which can prolong people's life. I am over 100 years old, and I still look like a young warrior, and my strength is not reduced. 'Zifu Divine Skill' is actually an excellent skill for body-building and defending enemies. I am determined to create a complete set of internal mental skills. Baby, when coming out of the mountain in the future, I should be careful to look for the next volume of thunderbolt to fulfill my wish."

"I must keep it in mind!" Luo Tianqiu kept the master's words in mind.

"Qiu Er, your skill has been completed." Jiang Xuefeng always carefully instructs you about your martial arts. "But to reach the level of perfection, you must also practice the highest level of sending and receiving skills like heart!"

The old man cut many thin wooden swords, which were held by dozens of apes, and fought against the enemy. TianQiu is unarmed. He should not only break the move but also damage the wooden sword. The ape itself has no internal skill Qi. To fight against it, you can only point to it and take it as soon as you touch it.

Even though TianQiu's palm technique has been practiced to perfection, it is not easy to break down the move without damaging the wooden sword. To start the palm technique, you must make great efforts and handle the fire. The lightness skill is nimble and the internal power can be recovered at the same time.

The enemies of heaven are like willow catkins blowing in the wind and looking for time. At the same time, the monkeys should open their swords. They only feel that there is an invisible force blocking the path of the sword. No matter how they chop, stab, prick, pick, delete, collapse, cover, and circle, they are pulled back and out of nowhere. It seems that they are powerless and powerful. It seems that the invisible is actually shaped.

Then, under the guidance of Shifu, Tian Qiu practiced "shooting in the air", avoiding the sword edge nimbly, using the "one yang finger" in the "Da Xumi Divine Finger" in his left hand to point across the acupoints. The other side's wrist felt numb. The moment the sword was released, he flashed to seize it. The acupoint recognition is accurate, the skill is appropriate, and the first hit is successful. The two hands use different strength at the same time, and there is no room for any swing. In a flash, the sword reaches his hand, dozens of wooden swords and a cup of tea kung fu, all of them reach his hand, and the wooden sword is intact. "

"Ha ha! Baby, these monkeys have played with you for so long, and you should reward them!" Shifu laughed.

TianQiu knows the master's intention and wants to test his secret weapon techniques. Between nodding and smiling, he turned and went into the hole, grabbed a handful of wild fruit and held it in his hand.

Suddenly, his anger sank into the elixir field, causing the eardrums of the monkeys to tingle, and the monkeys were tongue-tied at once. Taking advantage of this fleeting moment, Luo Tianqiu raised his right hand and moved "Tiannv Sanhua". The wild fruit, like an arrow, shot into the tongue of the monkeys, but did not enter the throat. The strength was just right, and the strength was very accurate. It was fantastic. The monkeys smacked their tongues and were so happy that they squeaked.

"Ha ha!" Jiang Xuefeng laughed, went back to the cave, sat down and sipped some tea, and looked at the disciple with a smile on his face.

"Qiu Er, we have a good relationship with each other. Time flies, and we have been together for ten years unconsciously. We also have to separate..."

"Shifu, no..." Luo Tianqiu felt a lump in his throat and couldn't speak for a moment. The old man waved his hand gently and motioned him to sit down. "Daughter, you must be separated after a long time. Now you are accomplished. It can be said that your skill is superior to that of a teacher..."

"Shifu!" Luo Tianqiu shouted, slid down from the chair, knees softened, and knelt down. The sleeve of Jiang Xuefeng's robe was brushed, and he was held in a hurry. Tian Qiu didn't dare to compete with him, so he bowed his head and stood still, trembling all over.

"Oh, what I said is true. Don't be alarmed. In fact, there is nothing wrong with my apprentice being superior to my master in martial arts. It is said that the waves in the Jianghu are higher than the waves, and martial arts can enter the country. It is not to deceive my master and destroy my ancestors. Children should not be too worldly."

"Yes," Tian Chou answered softly. His mood gradually calmed down, and he sat down slowly to listen to Jiang Xuefeng.

The old man is in an abnormal mood today, and his mood is extremely unstable. He was lonely and proud all his life, broke through the world of mortals, lived in seclusion in the mountains, accompanied by apes all the year round, and rarely met such a proud disciple as TianQiu.

For more than ten years, we have been together day and night. We are apprentices and friends who forget the years. The old man is generous and treats Qiu Er as a confidant. In addition, Tian Qiu is sincere and simple. He has accompanied Shifu since childhood. He is exquisite and cute, and has deep attachment. It's really hard to give up once we parted. Luo Tianqiu can't accompany him for life. He has his way. Thinking of this, the old man could not help but feel mixed feelings. He felt like he had unspeakable melancholy in his heart. Decades of clear and tranquil mood have been disturbed by the parting scene in front of me.

After a hundred years of cultivation, he is as determined as an expert in Yuanting and Yuezhi. He is also moved by feelings. So it seems that feelings are really supreme and unpredictable.

Jiang Xuefeng tried to gather his mind and smiled at Qiu Er.

"Qiu Er, leave me and go down the mountain to wander the Jianghu!" The old man took another sip of tea and thought about it. "Although you have good martial arts, you are inexperienced and have no experience on the spot. You need more experience. You will think more when you are in trouble. You can't distinguish between good and evil. You should treat good people with chivalry and justice, and have no knowledge of evil people. Don't trust other people's rhetoric and show kindness to women." As he spoke, he took out a small porcelain bottle from a hole in the wall, A leather purse and a soft sword without sheath are on the table.

"I will give you three things. In the leather bag is the Jiutian Qingji Pill, which is made from 20 herbs such as ginseng and ganoderma lucidum. It has a miraculous effect on internal injuries and poisons. In the porcelain bottle is the 'Wantong Shensan' special treatment for fractures. I will tell you today how to make the two drugs, and take them with you for standby at any time." I picked up the soft sword on the table, flicked it gently with my finger, and there was a buzzing sound. "This soft sword is made of Myanmar steel, and can be used as a belt to wrap the body. In case of emergency, it can be used as a whip and a sword. It is extremely sharp." He pulled several white whiskers and blew them away at the blade, and the white whisker made a decision.

"The 'Thunderbolt from the Dark Sky' is placed here, and I need to study it carefully. After I leave the mountain, I should never mention the origin of my master to avoid trouble!"

Jiang Xuefeng's words have deep meanings.

When Luo Tianqiu walks in the Jianghu, his high level of martial arts will definitely make him famous. Many people have to come to seek a teacher for a skill, or to make friends with martial arts. The old man has been cultivating for years, and is independent of the world. He only wants to be at ease. How can he stand that disturbance.

In addition, TianQiu's internal skill is already higher than that of Shifu, and outsiders don't know why, so they have to be honest and cause trouble.

"Every year on the third day of the twelfth lunar month, it is my teacher's birthday. I should come to Gaoligong for a while!" The old man said these words, and then taught the method of "Jiutian Qingji Baodan" and "Wantong Shensan" made by TianQiu. The next day, Jiang Xuefeng sent TianQiu down the mountain and walked ten miles. TianQiu repeatedly stopped him, and the master and apprentice just parted——
