Eternal Sword

Chapter 114: Fuyao Kung Fu

early morning.

Chen Tang opened his eyes, washed up briefly, and prepared to go to the yard to practice boxing.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw the fat old man standing in the middle of the yard with disheveled hair and red eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

"Old man, what happened to you? You didn't sleep all night?"

Chen Tang asked curiously.

The fat old man seemed not to hear anything, as if he was still immersed in some emotion. He looked a little weird, as if he was possessed by a demon, and his expression changed unpredictably, as if he was surprised and happy.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Qing Mu walked out and was shocked when he saw the fat old man's appearance, and asked.

Only then did the fat old man come to his senses, looked up at the two of them, and then gradually regained consciousness and said in a deep voice: "Qing Mu, the governor of Pingzhou is going to rebel!"

"what."

Qing Mu nodded and said, "Xiao Tang said this yesterday. I went back and thought about it, and it does make sense. And as far as I know, Sister Lingguang has already arrived in Pingzhou. She has left the capital, so I guess my brother has noticed something."

The sister Lingguang that Qingmu mentioned is Zhuque Sijun.

The fat old man said again: "We can't leave, we have to defend Wu'an County and Pingzhou!"

"Forehead……"

Chen Tang and Qing Mu both looked at the fat old man with strange eyes.

Yesterday, the fat old man didn't take it seriously.

How could there be such a big change in just one night?

Qing Mu said: "I believe that it is okay for you to stay in Wu'an County, but Master, what did you say yesterday? How can we cut off the support from the Black Water Country and make Pingzhou isolated and helpless?"

"Leave this to me."

The fat old man took a deep breath, his small eyes flickered with excitement, he rubbed his hands, eager to try, and said: "Master will be away for a while, you must be careful in Wu'an County."

"Also, you must find a way to get this letter to your eldest brother. The fewer people who handle it, the better."

The fat old man took out a letter from his arms and said, "Once he sees the letter, he should be able to come up with the fastest response plan."

Qing Mu nodded and said, "I have my own way to contact Big Brother. As long as I leave a mark, he will know it's me."

"it is good."

The fat old man was about to turn around and leave, but then he thought of something, looked at Chen Tang, and said, "Before I leave, I will teach you a technique. This is what I am really good at."

"Okay!"

Chen Tang's eyes lit up.

The fat old man said: "This skill is called "Fuyao Kung Fu", and it has four chapters, namely, Listening to the Wind and Recognizing Shadows, Swift Wind and Strong Grass, Following the Wind without a Trace, and One Step into the Sky."

Qing Mu smiled when he heard this and said, "Master, this is your unique skill, and it can only be passed on to disciples. So, I will have another junior disciple?"

Chen Tang asked, "Do you want to become my disciple?"

"No, no, no!"

The fat old man shook his head like a rattle, waved his chubby hands, and muttered, "I don't deserve it..."

Originally, he really wanted to accept Chen Tang as his disciple.

But since I met that person last night, I completely gave up the idea.

With that person teaching him, the only thing he could show off was "The Power of Fuyao".

"First, you should memorize these techniques by heart."

The fat old man used the secret method of transmitting sound to gather the sound into a beam, and the mantras of the technique rang directly in Chen Tang's mind.

"When I was young, I happened to encounter a rare beast on Mount Tianshan. Its wings were like clouds hanging from the sky, soaring up to 90,000 miles. I gained some insights from this, and spent seven days and seven nights at the foot of the mountain to meditate on it. Only then did I create this "Fuyao Kung Fu"."

"The foundation of Fuyao Kungfu is to sense, experience, and comprehend the power and changes contained in the wind, so as to listen to the wind and control it."

"Hearing the Wind and Recognizing Shadows is actually two parts, divided into the Listening Wind Art and Recognizing Shadows Sword. The Listening Wind Art trains a kind of perception ability. Your Niwan Palace has been opened. With the Listening Wind Art, it will greatly enhance your perception of danger. You will know the surrounding environment like the back of your hand, and your perception will become more acute!"

“Listening to the wind is not about listening to the sound of the wind, but about listening to and sensing the flow and changes of the air around you.”

"The air currents between heaven and earth are not static. Our conversations, breathing, and every movement will cause changes in the air currents. This is wind. When you are familiar with these changes, you will be able to distinguish some unusual winds!"

"The wind brought by fist techniques, the wind brought by palm techniques, and even the winds caused by swords, spears, and halberds passing through the air, the winds around will all be different."

Chen Tang seemed to understand something.

The fat old man continued, "Some people may attack without warning, or they may attack in a very subtle and silent way. But as long as they attack, the airflow around them will inevitably change. Practicing the Wind Listening Technique is to detect such changes and respond accordingly."

"Swift Wind and Strong Grass also has two parts, Swift Wind Art and Strong Grass Sword; Following the Wind Without Trace is Follow the Wind Art and Without Trace Sword. If you can master the three realms of Listening to the Wind, Swift Wind and Following the Wind, you can go a step further and practice the body movement of One Step to the Clouds."

Qing Mu said at the side: "Someone in the world once ranked the top ten Qinggong, and Master's One Step to the Clouds is one of them."

"Oh?"

Chen Tang's mind moved, and he asked, "Which one is the best among the ten great Qinggong?"

The fat old man said, "The ten great Qinggongs each have their own strengths. Some complement each other, while some even restrain each other. There is no distinction between superior and inferior. For example, the Demon Sect's Demonic Trace Step is good at confusing the opponent; the Dongyi's Floating Light and Shadow is good at using the environment to hide the body."

"One Step to the Clouds is not the fastest, but its body moves with the wind, it is erratic and difficult to catch."

After a pause, the fat old man said, "At present, I have only created four mental formulas through my understanding, but I have a vague feeling that there may be a fifth one, the Immortal Ascension!"

"If we can reach that level, it may be another level that is difficult to reach."

"You like to use swords, so you can learn the Shadow Sword, Strong Grass Sword, and Traceless Sword or not, but you must try your best to master the Wind Listening Art, Wind Gale Art, and Wind Following Art. Only in this way can you practice the One Step to the Clouds Body Movement."

Under the guidance of the fat old man, Chen Tang quickly grasped the trick.

This made Qing Mu next to him extremely jealous.

Chen Tang learns things too quickly, and there is almost no bottleneck. In order to practice the Wind Listening Technique, she was thrown on the edge of the Tianshan cliff by a fat old man. She was blown by cold winds, strong winds, cold winds, and all kinds of winds, making her dizzy and almost crazy.

"If you don't understand something, you can ask Qingmu. I'm leaving first."

After the fat old man said this, he turned and left, and soon disappeared.

"Master, what's wrong? You're so mysterious."

Qing Mu murmured softly.

Over the years, she had rarely seen the fat old man take something so seriously.

Chen Tang had a vague guess in his mind.

The fat old man must have gone to the snow mountain last night.

It seems that he was persuaded by the mountain guest.

Chen Tang recited the "Fuyao Kung Fu" several times silently, remembering it firmly, and practiced the "Listening to the Wind" technique in the yard for a while, listening to the rhythmic sound of the "wind".

He stood still, closing his eyes.

Then he could feel the door of the woodshed being pushed open and Mei Yingxue walked out.

The opening and closing of the door and the movement of people will bring about different air currents, giving Chen Tang different feelings.

The north wind blew on my face, blowing up the white snow.

When this north wind blows through every object in the courtyard, it conveys different messages.

With the ability of meditation, even without entering the state of meditation, Chen Tang can still vaguely outline the general contours of every plant and tree in the entire courtyard.

This feeling is very strange.

By using the meditation and wind-listening techniques, Chen Tang seemed to have opened his third eye, overlooking everything around him!
If you enter the state of divine illumination, your perception will be clearer, just like what you see with your own eyes.

Mei Yingxue was lingering at the door, occasionally looking up in his direction, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

"Miss Mei, is Pavilion Master Mei okay?"

Chen Tang stepped forward and asked.

"His breathing is still stable, but he is still not awake."

Just as Mei Yingxue finished speaking, her stomach made a rumbling sound.

She lowered her head and her face turned red.

"Wait a moment, I'm hungry too. I'll go buy some breakfast and come back."

Chen Tang went out and came to the store he often visited.

This shop may not look big, but the food is delicious and the business is booming.

In addition to the inner hall, there are several low tables and stools at the door. There are many people queuing up every morning. Usually, there are only a middle-aged couple and a teenage apprentice busy here.

Chen Tang bought more buns and soy milk than usual.

A young boy who looked unfamiliar wrapped the buns with unskilled technique, then handed the hot soy milk to Chen Tang with a youthful and polite smile.

"Boss, is this a new recruit?"

Chen Tang asked casually.

"Yes."

The boss showed a simple smile and said, "The original Xiaoliu went back to his hometown and can't come back for a while, so I asked this kid to help."

The boss whispered, "Master Chen, this kid's legs and feet are not very agile. I felt sorry for him, so I hired him. He's not very agile at work yet, but he just needs to get familiar with it."

Chen Tang nodded.

The young man had turned around and went to make soy milk for another person, walking with a limp.

Chen Tang brought the kids home early, and there were special Suzaku Guards to check and test for poison, even when they came back from buying groceries, to ensure Qingmu's safety.

Chen Tang took a quick bite and went out without armor or sword.

He planned to go to Li's house today to have a chat with the county magistrate and find out what the other party was up to.

……

Li House.

Li Yan, Li Boxiong, Li Zhongmou and Li Junqing were sitting around the table. The plates on the table had just been cleared away as the four of them had just finished their breakfast.

Normally, Li Yan should prepare to go to the county magistrate's office.

But today, he was in no hurry to leave.

Li Yan coughed lightly and said, "Jun Qing, you should leave Wu'an County today."

"Dad, I want to go with you."

Li Junqing looked reluctant.

Li Yan shook his head and said, "Wait until you meet Shuhu in the west and settle down, then Zhongmou will leave, and finally Boxiong."

Li Boxiong frowned and said, "Can't we go together?"

"It's really inappropriate."

Li Zhongmou said: "If our family leaves Wu'an County at the same time, it will make too much noise, and the Huo family will definitely notice it. By then, none of us may be able to leave."

Li Boxiong said: "But in this case, wouldn't it be the most dangerous for Dad to leave last?"

Li Yan smiled and said, "I am the governor of Wu'an County, so I can't leave casually. Moreover, that matter is just my guess and cannot be confirmed. As long as you leave and keep the Li family in the troubled times, I will have no regrets."
