Legend of the Sword Immortal

chapter5

The next morning, Li Ning and Ying Qiong set up a course, first teaching her to practice Qigong and various internal skills. Ying Qiong was extremely intelligent, and in a short time, she had mastered various soft skills. However, because she was born impatient, she bothered Li and Zhou to teach her sword skills every day. Zhou Chun saw her rapid progress and thought that he could teach her. However, Li Ning refused, saying that it was not the right time. One day, Zhou Chun interceded for Ying Qiong. Li Ning said, "My dear brother, you only know one thing, but not the other. Don't I know that she can learn sword now? You must know that the more talented a person is, the stronger the foundation must be. I am not qualified to be Qiong'er's teacher, so I am concentrating on helping her lay a solid foundation. Once the opportunity comes and she meets a famous teacher, she can become a great talent. If I act rashly now, I will not be able to be the only one who can stand out from the crowd even if I teach her everything I have learned in my life. In addition, she has a fierce temperament and is not willing to be easily convinced. There are many heroes in the world who are stronger than us. Once she meets a strong enemy, won't she suffer? What I mean is that she should not learn at all, but once she learns, she must be proficient. Although she cannot be as extraordinary as the ancient swordsmen, she must be invincible in the world. I was reluctant to teach her at first because she is smart and impatient, and my ability is limited." After hearing this, Zhou Chun did not persuade her deeply. Only Yingqiong was impatient, how could he bear it. Unfortunately, although the scenery on this mountain is beautiful, there is only one flaw, that is, it is far from the water source. Fortunately, there is a waterfall on the cliff halfway up the mountain more than a mile away from the cave, and there is a small stream below. The water is clear and the spring is sweet and clean. Every two days, Li and Zhou would take turns to fetch water. Li and Zhou were afraid of loosening their muscles and bones, so they would practice various sword techniques and boxing techniques in the open space in front of the cave every day. Because they refused to teach her, Yingqiong watched carefully and practiced privately when they were not around. There are the most monkeys on Mount Emei. One day, Yingqiong saw a monkey running on the cliff, as agile as flying, which made her want to practice lightness. She got up early every morning, tied each end of the two ropes she brought to a tree, and practiced walking on it. She also forced Zhou and Li to teach her various lightness techniques. She was born with supernatural power, and with the guidance of these two teachers, she not only practiced to be as light as a swallow, but also had extraordinary strength.

Zhou Chun would visit Yan'er once a month and teach him martial arts. On that day, when he was about to go down the mountain to visit him, he just walked to the Sheshen Rock when he saw Zhao Yan'er running over with a letter in his hand. Zhou Chun opened it and found that it was written by Ma Xiang, the tutor. The letter said: "Three days ago, a monk came. He looked very ferocious. He carried an iron wooden fish on his back, weighing about three or four hundred kilograms. He came to the village to beg for alms. He said that he was a monk from Mount Wutai, named Miaotong. He traveled around the world just to find a friend named Zhou. The people in the village let him be because he was ferocious-looking but he was begging for alms and did not do anything out of line. Because there was no one named Zhou in the village, he was about to leave yesterday. Suddenly, a quick-talking villager mentioned Mr. Zhou, so he asked Mr. Zhou's name and appearance. After listening, he said: 'It must be Mr. Zhou.' He, I never thought that I would meet Mr. Zhou in this life! ' His face was very ugly when he said that. He was just asking where the master was now. Yan'er and I had just walked out, and the quick-talking man said that if you want to know the whereabouts of the master, you should ask us. The monk came to interrogate me. I saw that he had bad intentions, so I told him that Mr. Zhou went to Chengdu to stay at the hotel and did not tell him that he lived in Emei. He is no longer in the village today, and he must have gone to Chengdu to look for you. I saw that this monk must have bad intentions, so I sent you a letter to make preparations early. "

Zhou Chun was shocked when he saw the letter, and said to Yan'er: "Come up the mountain with me and we'll talk." As he said that, he hurriedly took Yan'er, climbed up the dangerous cliff, and came to the cave. After Yan'er met Li Ning and his daughter, she said to Zhou Chun: "Because Teacher Ma said that the monk had bad intentions, I went to the inn where the monk lived that night to find out what kind of person he was. At three o'clock in the morning, I climbed on the roof of his house, and looked into the room with the posture of a pearl curtain hook. I saw the monk meditating there. After sitting for a while, he stood up and took out two dried fingers from the iron wood fish, looked at them again and again, and then stretched out his right hand to compare again and again. It turned out that there were only three fingers left on his right hand, and the ring finger and the third finger were probably cut off by the weapon. At this time, he took out a small bag. , and took out a clay statue from inside. The face was made just like the teacher, also wearing white clothes and carrying a sword, but there seemed to be two wings on the back. When the monk saw the teacher's statue, he gritted his teeth and made a strange sound, as if he was extremely angry. He also slapped the clay statue and kept cursing. I couldn't help but get furious. I was about to go into the room to question him, what grudge did he have against the teacher that he cursed people behind his back? If he didn't explain, I would beat him half to death. Who would have thought that when I was about to leave the room, it seemed as if someone pinched my back, and I couldn't make a sound. Suddenly, I felt my body rising in the air. After a while, I reached the flat ground and saw that I was near the Sanguan Temple. I was shocked. I had come out without telling my mother, and I was afraid that she would wake up and look for me, so I planned to go back to check first. I went home and saw that my mother was still asleep. There was a note on the table with very good handwriting. It said: "Yan'er is so brave, carrying her mother to take risks. Go up Mount Emei quickly tomorrow morning, and don't delay to send a letter to your master. "I saw this note and thought carefully: "I have an old mother, so I shouldn't take risks. From the tone of the person who left the note, the monk must be very powerful, and I am no match for him. I was suddenly lifted up into the air on the roof, and it must have been done by this person. "I thought about it all night and told him the next day. Mother. My mother asked me to deliver a letter to the teacher as soon as possible. There were monthly exams these days, and I was afraid that Teacher Ma would not allow me to come. Who would have thought that when I arrived at the school, before I could even open my mouth, Teacher Ma called me to a deserted place and asked me to deliver a letter to the teacher, and also gave me three coins of silver as travel expenses. I set off quickly. Just after walking for more than ten miles, I saw two people arguing in front of me. I looked carefully and saw that one was the monk and the other was a Taoist priest. I was shocked. Fortunately, they were far away and did not notice me. So I left the main road, climbed over the hillside, and took the mountain road to hurry here. I wonder if the teacher knows the origin of this monk? "
