Zongwu: My Proficiency Panel

Chapter 160 Her heart is dead but her mouth is alive

Silent night.

Under Xiang Qiezheng's arrangement, Ning Xiu and Yu Jiaolong were arranged to rest in their room after dinner.

This Lianfeng has accumulated savings for many years. Although it is only a place for blacksmithing, the layout of the inner courtyard is not bad, and there are quite a few unoccupied rooms.

At this moment, Ning Xiu was sitting cross-legged on the bed and exercising. One by one, the proficiency improvement characters that only he could see appeared in his mind. During this process, Ning Xiu's breath was changing from strength to strength, from strength to weakness.

The "Emperor's Shocking Treasure" he has practiced has been cultivated to the sixth level of perfection, and he is only one step away from reaching the seventh level of great success, completely stimulating the potential in the blood veins, and making his three yuan transform again.

This is the strength of the world's top magical skills. As long as it is mastered, the power of the three elements can be greatly improved. At that time, it only takes one step to step into the realm of three flowers gathering at the top, and become a land god.

And at that time, if Ning Xiu absorbed the blood essence of the flying dragon, the speed would undoubtedly be much faster.

Gathering true energy, blood energy and primordial spirit is a very dangerous process. The more solid the foundation is, the less risk it will be. It is not difficult to condense any flower with Ningxiu's foundation.

But in his vision, he first practiced the Huangji Shocking Treasure to a great success, using the blood of the flying dragon to condense the flower of essence, and the essence will feed back the internal force, so that he can condense the true essence, and then use the precious medicine to help condense the essence Introduce the direct achievement of the primordial spirit, and completely step into the realm of three flowers gathering at the top.

In this way, the difficulty of his breakthrough will be greatly increased.

But he spent so much resources and time just to achieve Sanhua in one fell swoop, if not, wouldn't it appear that his previous actions were superfluous.

Just when Ning Xiu was about to finish his work, there was a knock on the door.

"Has Hero Zhao slept yet?"

Ning Xiu's eyes flashed brightly, and there was a sudden "thud" in the room, like a thunderbolt, and as he lifted his right hand, the door latch was opened with gentle force.

"Brother Xiang, please come in."

When Xiang Qie was stepping into the door, Ning Xiu had already got up and asked him to sit down.

"I saw that the light in Zhao Daxia's room is still on, do you want to disturb me?"

Ning Xiu waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. It's just that I have something to remind Brother Xiang, so I didn't go to bed with the lamp on."

"This? Please tell the heroes clearly." Xiang Qizheng knew that these Jianghu masters acted strangely, different from ordinary people, and had their own style of conduct, but most of them would not make groundless rumors, so he believed what Ning Xiu said.

"When I came here today, I saw more than a dozen horse thieves among the people. As the saying goes, money touches people's hearts. Is there any place in this small town that has accumulated more money than the Lianfeng?"

People who have practiced martial arts are stronger in body, stronger in energy and blood, and there is nothing to hide in Ning Xiu's eyes. Moreover, although those people are dressed as ordinary people, their eyes and temperament cannot be hidden.

Xiang Qiezheng's expression changed when he heard the words, and he said in surprise: "Hero means that those horse bandits are after the Lianfeng?!"

He has thirty or so apprentices under Lianfeng, all of them are strong and strong, but they are definitely not enough to deal with hundreds of horse bandits.

If the horse bandits attack, they will consume all the money to death.

"Don't worry." The corners of Ning Xiu's lips curled up slightly, "The ones who dare to attack the Lianfeng must be the gang of horse bandits stationed in Yinfeng Mountain. It just so happens that I will set off to exterminate this group of scourges soon, so don't worry."

"Relying on their numbers and power, this group of horse bandits robbed people everywhere. Since there are heroes making moves, Xiang Mouyuan and his disciples can even sue the officials and send troops to exterminate them together."

However, Ning Xiu said: "Soldiers are expensive and fast, gathering people will inevitably cause disturbances, and the spies of the horse bandits will find out and report back. The Yinfeng Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it will be disadvantageous."

Miao Jiqing and his gang of horse bandits have been rampant in Mobei for many years, and neither the government nor the frontier soldiers have cleaned them up. Now that they are asked to send troops to suppress the bandits, Ning Xiu does not have much hope.

The two chatted for a while, thanked Xiang Qiezheng and left.

Another half quarter passed.

Ning Xiu reckoned that everyone on the Lianfeng had fallen asleep, so he asked Yu Jiaolong to go to the yard to correct her sword skills.

"Your swordsmanship is slanted. It's okay for a while, but after a long time, you will go astray and find it difficult to extricate yourself. I will teach you a few tricks today, and I hope you can understand them." Ning Xiu held a bamboo chopsticks and said seriously.

In the hands of masters of their level, flying leaves, sand and stones can be used as murderous weapons. In Ning Xiu's hands, a chopstick can be used as a judge's pen or a acupuncture awl.

"Okay." Seeing this, Yu Jiaolong nodded earnestly. She was too eager to become stronger, so she cherished every advice from Ning Xiu.

"The first trick is to hide clumsiness in cleverness."

After Ning Xiu finished speaking, his body was already shaking, and he made a lunge and stabbing movement, approaching Yujiaolong.

The so-called hiding clumsiness in cleverness means not to show your intelligence on the bright side, that is, to hope that Yu Jiaolong will not rely too much on the sharp sword in his hand, but hide his shortcomings in the strengths of Tianshan swordsmanship.

"Be careful!"

Yu Jiaolong shouted coquettishly, although she was amazed at the speed of Ning Xiu's lunge and stabbing sword, she still couldn't help reminding that the Ningbi sword in her right hand had been poured with inner strength, and the tip of the sword was slightly bent under the huge force, and the point was at Ning Xiu's point. forehead.

At this moment, Ning Xiu slanted and slashed, Yu Jiaolong was pulled into the distance, one inch short and one inch dangerous, busy Ning Xiu made a correct move, it was obviously a bamboo chopstick, but it was not cut by the iron like mud The sword cut off.

Yu Jiaolong backed away extremely, wiped his body and slashed horizontally, Ningxiu's bamboo chopsticks stood upright to block the sword and then followed up, piercing flat and dangling.

Clang!
The sword and the bamboo chopsticks were handed over, and there was a sound. Yu Jiaolong was repelled by the divine power for two steps, but Ning Xiu's lips moved slightly:
"Second trick, use obscurity to make it clear!"

Fengyun Kuaijian - The Wind Sweeps the Fallen Leaves!
I saw that Ning Xiu was using his strength in his arms, and his body was slightly lowered, but the short bamboo chopsticks seemed to have grown a lot out of thin air, sweeping across Yu Jiaolong's abdomen.

call!
Yu Jiaolong felt pain in his abdomen, obviously not being swept by the bamboo chopsticks, but his abdomen seemed to have been wiped with a sword. With more than 30 years of internal strength, he exerted all his strength, his footsteps formed a circle, and the sword light was dotted. He had already displayed the Tianshan swordsmanship "Piaofeng Duanyun" in the style.

"Piaofeng Duanyun" is precisely used for this kind of short-distance exquisite swordsmanship, one's own footsteps are not chaotic, but with fierce swordsmanship, he entangles the opponent's hands in the upper, middle and lower directions, and will not stop until the opponent is hit.

"Okay."

Facing this move, Ning Xiu was more brisk with his bamboo chopsticks, and hit the ridge of Ningbi sword when Yu Jiaolong failed to attack the top lane and was about to change to the bottom lane.

Just when Yu Jiaolong was still wondering why the force was so light, Ning Xiu didn't move his feet, but his figure was close to the ground, and changed his position with the move "Looking back and looking at the moon".

An extremely dangerous move in the Tianshan swordsmanship was shattered.

"Look at the sword!"

Yu Jiaolong turned around hastily, seeing that Ning Xiu's footsteps were flimsy, he stabbed with the long sword in his hand and at the same time did not forget to shout.

hum-

Ning Xiu showed a smile, and leaned back to avoid the stabbing sword, and used the bamboo chopsticks to block the sword, and then kicked Yu Jiaolong's sword-holding wrist.

"uh-huh……"

Yu Jiaolong's wrist went numb, and before he could react, his arm had already been stabbed.

"If I had taken the real sword, you would have died."

"Come again!"

"The third trick I teach you is to combine the clear with the turbid."

The original meaning of this word is high ambition and don't be self-admired, rather casual than pretentious.

For the next ten or so moves, Ning Xiu moved back and forth, constantly restraining the Ningbi sword, blocking and attacking for a while, making Yu Jiaolong unable to stabilize the point of the sword.

Only by mastering the point of the sword, can the swordplay have laws to follow and reason to follow, but under the interference of Ning Xiu, Yu Jiaolong's swordplay cannot find the point of the sword, the sword style cannot be formed, and gradually becomes chaotic.

"drink!"

Yu Jiaolong finally seized the opportunity, Ningbi sword retracted and let go, stabbing with fierce sword energy, Ning Xiu lowered his head and dodged, Yu Jiaolong pierced the sword with a servant step and attacked down the road, these two moves were connected smoothly, but She didn't hurt Ning Xiu at all, but Ning Xiu cut her leg with bamboo chopsticks.

Fengyun Kuaijian - Azure Dragon Out of Water!
Ning Xiu squeezed his sword fingers with his left hand, and used chopsticks as a sword with his right hand. When Yu Jiaolong turned over, he blocked her attacks one after another.

"Bend to stretch!"

This thorn could directly penetrate Yu Jiaolong's shoulder, but Ning Xiu opened his fingers slightly at the moment of the thorn, and the bamboo chopsticks slid through his fingers.

……

Silent night.

The chirping of insects outside the house has stopped, but the wind is still there.

One room was still lit with candlelight, which seemed to be the last trace of tenderness on the last night of departure for Yinfeng Mountain.

inside the house.

"I've been in the rivers and lakes for many years, but I've never seen a woman as stupid as you." Ning Xiu stared at the bloodstain on Yu Jiaolong's calf, carefully applied the golden sore medicine, and seldom burst out with a curse word.

"Master."

She smiled charmingly, with a playful smile, staring at the face under the firelight, which made people lose their minds and was so shocking to watch, and looked at it again and again.

"Do you care about me so much?"

Ning Xiu looked at her, his eyes met, and he was dumbfounded for a while before he said: "The four sentences I taught you, the first sentence is to hide your shortcomings and make you understand what your shortcomings are, and don't show them. The second sentence is to use Obscurity is to teach you to be more modest. Even if there is a killer move, it is not necessary to reveal too much before it is used. As for the third sentence, it is to tell you not to be too rigid in your swordsmanship. The last sentence is to retreat to advance. Let me tell you that your swordsmanship is too murderous, and you don’t have any remaining hands to protect yourself. If you encounter a master, you will be full of flaws, and you will lose if you make a move, and you will have no resistance."

Seeing Yu Jiaolong half-understood, Ning Xiu asked, "How many words do you understand?"

Yu Jiaolong didn't reply, she fixedly looked at Ning Xiu, wanting to find something in those eyes with pale pupils, and said after a while, "Are you going to leave after teaching me this?"

"Yes……"

The word came out without thinking, but before the words fell, Ning Xiu had already started to regret it, but it was hard to stop.

Facing her eyes, Ning Xiu's heart trembled, but there was no abnormality on the surface, "You have learned this, and your swordsmanship will definitely go further, and you won't need other people's protection by then."

Seeing that he spoke directly, without any concealment, Yu Jiaolong's charm and allure just now disappeared, she suddenly sneered, the smile was a little sarcastic, a little cold, and the laughter was a little shrill and hoarse.

"Hehe, you are finally willing to speak out. So, you gave me a sword and taught me swordsmanship, just for this?" Yu Jiaolong pulled back her calf, and put it on the side of the table so unabashedly.

Ning Xiu's eyes flickered, and he uttered a few words with difficulty, "Of course not."

"Of course not. If you only wanted to protect me, you would definitely not do these things. A blind man can tell that you have other purposes after hearing these stories. When I was young, I heard from my master that some masters hide their names. Experiencing all kinds of life is only to seek breakthrough opportunities, and I guess you are also seeking breakthroughs, so you have not left, and you have agreed to my requests, if not, you don't have to save me, and you don't have to waste your time and energy on me."

"Sir, am I right?"

Yu Jiaolong stared at him closely, at the man in front of her who hadn't looked at her in the eyes for a month or two.

The man's cheeks trembled, his thin lips parted slightly, but he didn't speak.

This woman is not a fool in the first place, so it's not surprising to guess why.

"You saved me. I thought you were pitying me. Unexpectedly, in the end, I became your knife to cut through the bottleneck."

"Why do you think so?"

Ning Xiu's voice was very soft.

Yu Jiaolong smiled.

"Because what you really want is definitely not my body or my heart. You know that there are a lot of crap like me, so I really can't think of why you want to do this except for this reason."

"Think about it, when you achieve your goal, it will be my death."

Her words were like a knife, tearing away the scar first, without reservation, and it hurt her heart.

Ning Xiu looked at her, and suddenly smiled, the smile was as gentle as water, and a little careless, he said: "No, as long as she doesn't become the second flying dragon and endanger one side, she will live a very comfortable life!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Yu Jiaolong also laughed, as if she was crying tears.

"You asked me to practice swords with people, but you know that I practice martial arts for revenge, and I have already gone astray. The horse bandits are all killed, who do you think I will kill? You all understand that people like me are easy to heal from physical injuries, but hard to heal from heart injuries. As long as I am still alive, I will not let others be at peace. "

"You taught me four sentences. Maybe it's my conscience. Maybe it's because I think I'm still saved and I can turn back when I'm lost. But I tell you clearly, my heart is dead. Of course, it has lived again for a month or two. But now he is also dead, can a person who is alive but already dead live freely?"

Ning Xiu closed his eyes and said nothing.

"It is said that the sword is the sharpest in the world, but now I have discovered that the human heart is the most powerful and ruthless sword. You can penetrate the heart of others, and you can kill without using your hands, and you can kill quietly. "

Yu Jiaolong's voice still lingered in his ears, and the lights were dim, as if he could still see her face full of sarcasm, disdain, and sneer with his eyes closed.

Ning Xiu's face was surprisingly pale, and he said: "You are wrong, hatred is the sharpest sword, I just helped you, besides, those people, as you said, are either damned or Those who should be killed, actually I don’t like killing people very much! Sometimes killing people is really simple and effective, but killing people can’t solve the problem, there are other ways, I’ll teach you four sentences, just to advise you not to go astray.”

"So just let me kill you, save you trouble, and get comfort. You are really cold-blooded, just like this desert!"

Yu Jiaolong didn't listen to the next few words, she still had that sneer tone.

Ning Xiu sighed, he was about to speak, but his lips parted, but he was speechless, his eyes opened in astonishment, and he saw Yu Jiaolong's face was close at hand, with red lips facing each other.

This person's heart is already dead, but his mouth is still alive and he still needs relatives, which is very scary.
