I just want to repair a flute [Martial Arts]

Di Yun buried the Blood Knife Patriarch back under the snow.

Incited by Hua Tiegan, he and Shui Sheng originally wanted to bury the body in another place, but if they buried it too far away, Hua Tiegan would dig the body out and eat it, and they didn't know about it, so they had to give up in the end.

After this battle, Di Yun made up his mind, took out the Blood Sword Scripture from the Blood Sword Monk Bao Xiang, and practiced martial arts diligently every day. Yun Chuxiu praised his awareness very much, and when he was in good spirits, he would practice with him and teach him moves so that he could quickly become familiar with this martial art.

However, as soon as the two of them fought, he immediately discovered that Di Yun's internal strength was strong and his foundation was not weak. It was just that he didn't know how to use it, so his moves were very clumsy. Yun Chuxiu was a little puzzled and couldn't help asking: "Did your master who taught you martial arts only teach you internal strength and not the moves?"

How could he know that Di Yun's current internal strength was the magical skill Shenzhaojing taught by Ding Dian, and had nothing to do with his original martial arts. Di Yun had seen the people in the martial arts world fighting for the Shenzhaojing, and they didn't dare to mention it to him. He could only practice the "lying corpse swordsmanship" taught by his master Qi Changfa, which made Yun Chuxiu laugh: "What a strange name! Your moves look so awkward, it's like you broke up the good sword moves into pieces, and lost all their charm."

Hearing this, Di Yun's heart moved, and he practiced the sword move of the same name that was taught to him by an old beggar he met by chance in Wan Mansion. This time, Yun Chuxiu relaxed his brows and praised: "That's right, this sword technique is good, and it has a bit of poetic rhythm in it. Let me think... what did you say just now, what was the name of the first move?"

Di Yun hurriedly said, "It was my elder brother who called me up. I dare not cross!"

He spoke in the dialect of Xiangxi. Upon hearing this, not only Yun Chuxiu, but also Shui Sheng couldn't help laughing. Di Yun had learned to read under Ding Dian's instruction, and he also felt his face getting red. Yun Chuxiu smiled and said, "No, no, it should be 'A solitary wild goose comes up from the sea, and dares not look back at the pond.' This poem comes from Zhang Jiuling's "Ganyu". He used the solitary wild goose to describe himself, indicating that he disdains to go along with others. It is also a move of extreme confidence when used in sword moves. The person who created this sword technique must be a knowledgeable and capable person who can use poetry to describe sword moves."

Di Yun said in a muffled voice: "My master... is just an old farmer in the countryside. He must be illiterate and cannot read these poems and lyrics. He can't even learn sword moves very well... It must be like this!"

When he talked to himself like this, it seemed more like he was trying to convince himself than to tell them, but the surging longing in the other party's heart made Yun Chuxiu shut his mouth silently and not tease him about this matter.

Shui Sheng was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "But if you are not from the Blood Blade Sect, why are you dressed like this? And why are you with the Blood Blade Patriarch and have you tied me up here?"

There was still doubt in her tone, obviously suspecting that Di Yun was lying. When the latter heard this, he immediately became angry and said angrily: "Believe it or not!" After saying that, he turned his back and refused to pay any more attention to her.

At this time, Yun Chuxiu could only step forward to act as a peacemaker: "What's wrong? Is this the time for internal strife? I believe Di Yun is not lying, Shui Sheng, you too, stop suspecting that we are rapists. If the two of us really want to do something, do we have to sleep outside the cave every day?"

Yes, because Shui Sheng was very sensitive and Di Yun had been living outside the cave, Yun Chuxiu couldn't compete with the little girl for the cave, so she just squeezed in with him, and was half buried in the snow every morning. Speaking of this, he couldn't help but miss Ding Feng, because Hua Tiegan was missing, and he couldn't go to see him these days. I wonder if Ding Feng, with his intelligence, can understand his intentions?

However, they were both young and strong men, and their martial arts were so strong, how could Shui Sheng dare to let down her guard? She even had a resolution in her heart - if these two dared to attack her, she would kill herself on the spot, she had to go with a clean record and not tarnish her father's reputation!

Because they were afraid that Hua Tiegan would come to dig graves again, they dared not go too far from the cave. While eating sheep, they unlocked a new way of hunting - Di Yun or Yun Chuxiu lay on the snow, or held his breath, or scratched his arm, pretending to be a dead body to attract vultures and snow geese flying in the sky to come and peck at them, and then they would be caught when they approached, or when they were circling in the air, Di Yun would knock them down with stones, pluck their feathers, and roast them to eat. In this way, more than a month passed in a blink of an eye. This morning, Yun Chuxiu stood up as usual and shook off the white snow on his clothes. The sun was shining that day, illuminating the snowy land in white, just like "the cold power is seen thousands of miles away, and the snow-capped mountains stand tall". He touched the snow jade ice king flute on his waist, thinking that this scene was very suitable for playing a flute.

Since Hua Tiegan had not been seen since his last escape, and perhaps he had died somewhere in the snowy mountains, he was not as vigilant as he had been in the past few days. Seeing that Di Yun had sat up and gave him a few instructions, he walked out along the valley, intending to find a high ground nearby to enjoy the snow and play the flute. However, before he could stop, he heard Di Yun's scream.

Yun Chuxiu immediately rushed back and saw from afar that Hua Tiegan was holding a ghost-head knife in one hand and a long sword in the other, attacking Di Yun. Di Yun had no weapon in his hands, so he could only pick up a piece of firewood to fight against him, but how could he resist the sharp swords? The firewood broke immediately, and Hua Tiegan chopped him directly with a knife!
Shui Sheng, who was standing at the side, was furious when she saw this. She almost screamed in pain, but after watching Di Yun walk around on the ground and stand up again as if nothing had happened, she heaved a sigh of relief and quickly threw the bloody knife in her hand over: "Di Yun! Take the knife!"

She was willing to give me this knife. Did she finally believe me? Di Yun caught the blood knife in a panic. He couldn't help but have some wild thoughts. But he heard Hua Tiegan in front of him said, "Hey, niece Shui, congratulations. We are a family now! You even gave him the blood knife. What else can't you give him? What about the other pretty boy? Could it be that I have two niece-in-laws?"

"You, you are a martial arts master, how can you be so shameless?!" Di Yun was furious before Shui Sheng was mentioned. However, at the moment he opened his mouth, Hua Tiegan slashed at him again. He blocked with his sword, but the opponent's sword just passed in front of him and slashed at his shoulder like a ghost. If he hadn't been protected by the "Black Silkworm Clothes" given by Ding Dian, his whole arm would have been chopped off!
He knew that he was no match for Hua Tiegan, but when he thought of Shui Sheng behind him, he suddenly felt a surge of courage. He shouted loudly, switched the blood knife from his right hand to his left hand, and slapped Hua Tiegan with his left hand while chopping down with the knife. Hua Tiegan did not expect that this stupid boy would suddenly use such a wonderful move, and he succeeded in hitting him. Di Yun quickly followed up with a few sword moves, but saw that Hua Tiegan's face changed, and he shouted repeatedly: "Liancheng Sword Technique! This is Liancheng Sword Technique!"

Liancheng Sword Technique? Not the Lying Corpse Sword Technique? Di Yun recalled that at the beginning of his stay at the Wan family, he defeated the apprentice of his uncle Wan Zhenshan with the moves taught by the old beggar, and the other party also said that this was the Liancheng Sword Technique... No matter what Hua Tiegan's character was, he was always a chivalrous man with a wide range of experience. Could he have made a mistake? But if this was the Liancheng Sword Technique, then what on earth was the Lying Corpse Sword Technique that he had learned since childhood? !
While Di Yun was distracted, Hua Tiegan on the opposite side had already put aside all distractions. No matter what martial arts Di Yun used, he had to kill him here first! He had just seen Di Yun's sword moves and had a way to deal with him. When Di Yun attacked, he kicked away the bloody knife in his hand and thrust out a sharp pistol from his sleeve. Together with the sword in his hand, they fell on Di Yun's body!
Once this move was used, even if ordinary people had several lives, they would only die on the spot. Unfortunately, his swords and knives seemed to hit stones and could not penetrate at all! Di Yun was wearing a tattered monk's robe, which was really unpresentable. How could Hua Tiegan have thought that he was wearing a precious robe to protect his body? This misjudgment had already missed a good opportunity - the cold wind was whistling behind him, and Yun Chuxiu's help had arrived!
This guy's palm skills are outstanding, and most importantly, his icy internal strength, in such a cold environment, is really hard to beat! Hua Tiegan didn't dare to fight him head-on, and quickly bent down, rolled on the ground, threw away the sword in his hand, held the pistol in his sleeve with his left hand, and drew out a piece of wooden stick from his right sleeve - it turned out that the two together were his usual long spear!
He raised the spear in his hand, and slew it very cleverly, then turned around and attacked with a spear! Between thrusts and stabs, he forced Yun Chuxiu to stop, and he was almost stabbed in the abdomen by the spear. If it were anyone else, it would be an extreme disadvantage to fight against a long weapon with bare hands, but Yun Chuxiu just sneered and immediately drew out the Snow Jade Ice King Flute from his waist.

As the clear flute sounded, a cold wind suddenly blew across the silent snowfield. The flying snow and the strong wind swept him into it. Then, as he pointed his finger, it pounced on Hua Tiegan like a beast out of its cage, as if it had received an order!
"You..." Hua Tiegan was swallowed by the ice and snow before he could even utter a word. The snow and wind kept tearing at his clothes and hair, making it so hard for him to open his eyes. He waved his gun left and right for a while, knowing that he couldn't kill the three people. Although he gnashed his teeth in hatred, he still wanted to escape as soon as possible. As long as he left here, he could always find another chance to kill them one by one. He would definitely be able to -

"Puff." A sword pierced through the barrier of wind and snow and stabbed into his heart accurately from behind. This was the fifth person who suddenly appeared like a ghost. No one knew when he came here or when he entered the battle, but he just pulled the sword out of his flesh and blood indifferently and watched Hua Tiegan collapse to the ground quietly.

The wind and snow stopped, and the sun once again gently shone on the ground.

Yun Chuxiu happily called out his name: "Ding Feng, you came at the right time!"

The young man looked at his smiling face, and just smiled and clasped his fists towards him: "Thank you for the compliment, young master."
