Mysterious Martial Arts: The Record of the Swordsman

Chapter 20 Master of Qing Gong
The Wuyi Mountains are steep and difficult to walk, and the road can only be paved by digging stones, and the place where the sky hangs like Jiulongcao can only be stepped on by wooden stakes into the rocks.With the years of disrepair and decay, there are only holes left in many places, and the holes can only accommodate half a foot.

In the empty valley in the middle of the night, there are cliffs and cliffs on both sides. Occasionally, there are old roots of strange grasses hanging on it.

Close to the rock wall and pass sideways, below is the bottomless valley of hundreds of feet. It feels empty when you look at it, and you can only hear the cold wind rushing through it; when you look up, you can see the vast Milky Way, and the little cold stars merge into the vast ocean. Spectacular, as the north wind is getting colder, these frost stars are also crumbling.

"Grandma, I'm afraid of the dark..."

The little fat man held onto Zhu Xiaoqian's clothes tightly, closing his eyes and not daring to look.

Zhu Xiaoqian comforted: "There is nothing to be afraid of. There will be no monsters eating people here."

"Jiang Daochang, how long will it take to get there?" Zhu Xiaoqian carried a child on her back and led a child in her hand, striding across the cliff path, only thinking that she must have lost her head before choosing to walk this way road.

Jiang Wen also walked ahead in the same way, "I don't know it's so dark...Grandma Zhu, you have to follow me closely. If you get lost here, you may not be able to get out at dawn."

Under Chen Jinnan's arrangement, Jiang Wen finally shouldered the important task of taking care of the children, and climbed rocks overnight with the little fifth ancestor and two sick patients.

Seeing that her daughter was determined to stay with Hong Xiguan, Zhu Xiaoqian could only sigh that the girl was not allowed to stay, and chose to evacuate first with Jiang Wen.

Along the way, Jiang Wen was thinking, what qualities does a leader need?
In Chen Jinnan, who was already strong in martial arts, what Jiang Wen saw was his overall vision and his ability to know people and do things well.

Everyone in the world knows how to judge a person not only by what he says, but also by how he does it.

But on this level of understanding, Chen Jinnan and Jiang Wen reached a certain agreement, they both believed that it is not only about what the person does, but also why he does it.

For Jiang Wen, who is like a wild crane, Chen Jinnan quickly realized that he could not be persuaded by the slogan of "anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty", so he chose to use some more practical things to impress him, such as the lives of children, such as his own. Life, such as the lives of countless people in Jiangnan and Jiangbei...

They hurried along the way, but fortunately the two of them had good lightness skills, so they finished the journey without any risk.

Zhu Xiaoqian practiced the swallow eaves walk. She is good at flying over eaves and walls, and her attainments are far beyond ordinary people. The movements of turning around and flying over the cliff are smooth and flowing. Standing on the edge of the cliff, she is as light as a bird jumping on the roof tiles.

She also secretly observed Jiang Wen's lightness kung fu along the way, trying to find out his martial art background, but then found that Jiang Wen's lightness kung fu was really weird.

Anyone who practices lightness kung fu must use methods such as climbing heights with heavy loads, lifting vertically with light bodies, and walking piles to cross walls. Different schools and schools have different emphases, so there are bound to be differences in their characteristics.

For example, the Shaolin Plum Blossom Pillar is played steadily, in order to make the punches and kicks stable; the Wudang light kung fu is supplemented by breathing out the inner breath, and it can be used for a long time;

In the final analysis, no matter how talented a martial arts practitioner is, time is limited, and the foundation laid by background and enlightenment will always leave traces, and it is impossible to pursue a perfect balance.

But what she saw on Jiang Wen made Zhu Xiaoqian suspect that she had met a fool.

Jiang Wen carried the poisoned and comatose Hong Wending on his back, tied it tightly with cloth strips, and held the Little Fifth Patriarch in one hand. He walked on the cliff as if walking on the ground. Every time he stepped down, his body did not shake at all, and the central axis of his body did not have a slight skew. When exerting strength, the body jumps, as light as if it wants to climb up a ladder of clouds, and after falling, it can use dexterous steps to bypass the thorns, turning smoothly without any pressure.

This kind of light work is unheard of, and he has sufficient ability to deal with every situation, but the speed and height are just ordinary, without a trace of deliberate effort.

From Zhu Xiaoqian's point of view, this is not light work at all, but the basic skills of light work have been practiced to a high degree of proficiency, penetrated into the bone marrow, and polished to the perfect harmony of each ability.

But it's a waste of time.

If you don't seek speed, height, or surprise, but only seek stability, then what's the point of practicing lightness kung fu?
It is better to waste the precious time of life to practice this useless light work than to save time to practice the hard work of the lower body, face the enemy head-on and beat the enemy away!
"Daozhang, I want to ask you this year's Guigeng?" Zhu Xiaoqian asked suddenly.

Jiang Wen replied casually: "Twenty out of seven."

Grandma Zhu sighed, no wonder he only knows how to use one hand.This person has gone astray in martial arts for a long time, and it seems that there is no way out.

"Grandma, can you cure them? I always feel that this happened because of us, and I feel bad."

Fatty Fang Dahong said in a low voice when he saw that the road was getting smoother.

Zhu Xiaoqian turned her head and looked at Ningdie who was suffering from a high fever due to the rotten bone poison in her body. Her face was purple, and she was chanting names indiscriminately, looking very pitiful and helpless, which reminded her of the red beans when she was a child.

Touching Fang Dahong's round head that had just grown stubble, Zhu Xiaoqian felt uncomfortable, "Everything will be fine, mother-in-law assure you. They will be saved when they reach the place the Taoist priest said."

"That demon monk wants to threaten us with poison, and let us come to the door ourselves, but that won't allow him to succeed."

Jiang Wen also encouraged in a deep voice: "We'll be there soon, cheer up everyone! Do you see the high wall in front of you?"

In this arena, there may not be many people Jiang Wen has close friends with, but they must all be trustworthy.

The mountain turned from dangerous to slow, and the miscellaneous trees on both sides gradually became rare, finally revealing a faintly visible mountain road, which seemed to be often taken care of by people.After turning another hill, between Yunhanyu Cave and Yansuo Qionglin, a moss-stained Taoist mountain gate finally appeared...

Knocking on the door, a Taoist boy in ill-fitting clothes came to inquire about the purpose of his visit. Jiang Wen just said hello, the wooden door opened, and led them into the hall unhappily.

In the main hall, there was an old Taoist priest who closed his eyes and burned incense, and a group of ordinary people dressed as civilians sat around silently, with anxious expressions, including Mr. Ma Dashan and Shopkeeper Fang.

"Master, you are here."

Xiao Shitou rubbed his eyes, went up to say hello without end, and then went back to continue to be in a daze, leaving Shopkeeper Fang with an apologetic face.

"Son!" Seeing his son Ma Chaoxing appearing, Ma Dashan rushed forward and hugged him into his arms, "As long as you are fine, as long as you are fine... Thank you, Taoist priest, thank you, Taoist priest..."

Jiang Wen stopped him from continuing to thank him: "You're welcome, remember to send the agreed thank you gift, and remember to give it separately for Yuanhua Daoist."

After speaking, he went to the statue of Sanqing, and said to the old Taoist priest who closed his eyes, "Master Yuanhua, thanks to you for taking them in this time."

The old Taoist priest has white beard and hair, and his face is old, but his eyes are piercing.

"The old Taoist is a disciple of the Youlong Sect. He has always taken it as his duty to save the poor and save the world. How many people can be saved in this catastrophe is also a matter of destiny."

Jiang Wen also sat cross-legged next to each other, "That's good, I'm afraid you'll always blame me for being nosy."

The old Taoist Priest Yuan Huazi flicked his whisk, and the hairy tail flew on Jiang Wen's face: "The old Taoist likes to take care of it or not, you don't have to worry too much. But the old Taoist's own affairs, I have to take care of it."

His white beard trembled, and he used a green dragon to play in the water, and grabbed Jiang Wen's clothes: "You stole my apprentice's Taoist robe, which made him unable to see people, and now it is torn like this, what are you going to do?" thing?"

Jiang Wen hurriedly stood up, used his hand to pick stars and change fights to break free, and quickly said: "Really, this is not the time. The two children are very poisonous, so lend me the pill room quickly. Rotten bone poison is not Just kidding!"

"Rotten bone poison? To use such a vicious method..."

The old Taoist raised his eyebrows slightly, and slowly stood up, "It's not too late, follow me to the alchemy room to get the medicine."

After finishing speaking, he added, "Pay the medicine fee in cash, don't fool the old man with any fancy red paper."
