Shi Potian travels through Linghu Chong

Chapter 66 Ambush
Lu Dayou learned most of his sword skills from Linghu Chong, so naturally he also had a strong Yue Buqun flavor.

The Huashan swordsmanship he used was very strict, the moves were precise, and there was a strong sense of craftsmanship.

Feng Qingyang already knew how Yue Buqun taught his disciples, so he was not surprised. This method was a bit stupid, but the foundation had been laid. Now the key was to see how Lu Dayou's own comprehension was.

If he could break free of those shackles, he would be reborn.

If it can't be broken, it will be like this for the rest of your life.

Lu Dayou was completely unaware of it and was quite satisfied with himself.

Since that night when Shi Potian injected his body with internal energy twice, his Dantian meridians have expanded more than twice as wide and his internal energy has greatly increased. He has become more and more adept at practicing martial arts and swordsmanship in recent days and feels that his strength is no weaker than that of his senior brothers Liang Fa, Shi Daizi and others.

Lu Dayou practiced all the sword moves he had learned, sheathed his sword, and said respectfully, "Please give me some advice, senior."

Feng Qingyang snorted coldly and said, "Except for the internal strength which is barely acceptable, the rest is bullshit. Do as I say, you use the 'White Rainbow Piercing the Sun' first, then the 'Fade Away Green Mountains', and then the 'Golden Goose Flying Across the Sky'..." He rattled off more than ten moves in one breath.

Lu Da was stunned. These moves were all the Huashan sword techniques he had just used, but the order of the moves was completely disrupted.

He was a little confused, but he still followed Feng Qingyang's instructions and used the "White Rainbow Piercing the Sun" move, and then he got stuck.

"White Rainbow Piercing the Sun" should have been followed by "Heavenly Gentleman Hanging Upside Down", but after it was changed to "Green Mountains Hidden Away", the sword moves and footsteps could not be connected.

Feng Qingyang said, "Alas, you are a fool, you are really a fool! The art of swordsmanship requires you to move as smoothly as flowing water. When you used the move 'White Rainbow Piercing the Sun', with the tip of your sword pointing upward, couldn't you drag it down? Although there is no such posture in swordsmanship, couldn't you be ingenious and cooperate with it?"

Shi Potian added: "Sixth Junior Brother, you don't have to think too much. Just listen to the old man and do whatever is convenient for you."

Lu Dayou was still a little hesitant about Feng Qingyang's words, but he had unconditional faith in Shi Potian. Upon hearing that, he performed "White Rainbow Piercing the Sun" again, and then dragged it down as Feng Qingyang said, and performed "Hidden Green Mountains", and then "Golden Goose Flying Across the Sky".

Although the changes in moves were a bit stiff, he connected all the sword moves and used them all.

Feng Qingyang snorted coldly: "Fool, the moves are dead, and you are alive. How can a living person be restrained by moves?"

Lu Dayou's aptitude and comprehension are not bad, and he is the one who is most like Linghu Chong among all the Huashan disciples. He has a quick mind and an outgoing personality, and is not at all constrained by Yue Buqun's framework.

However, with the example of Shi Potian, Feng Qingyang was dissatisfied with Lu Dayou no matter how he looked at him. He kept calling him an idiot, but he also kept correcting Lu Dayou's problems.

When he had almost finished talking, Feng Qingyang even personally fought with Lu Da and pointed out any shortcomings in the actual combat.

When Lu Dayou saw that Feng Qingyang could easily block his full-strength sword technique with just one finger, he realized how powerful Feng Qingyang was. He was extremely excited and his attitude became more serious.

The two sides fought back and forth, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.

Lu Dayou's internal strength was limited, his arms were numb, he was panting, and sweating profusely.

Feng Qingyang didn't force the issue and said calmly, "I taught you today. Think about it carefully after you go back and tell me what you think tomorrow."

Lu Dayou is not as good as Shi Potian by a long shot, but fortunately he is not a fool and can still be saved.

He had no better choice, so he had to give it a try with Lu Dayou.

Lu Da was stunned for a moment, then realized that Feng Qingyang was going to teach him swordsmanship in the future, and he was overjoyed: "Thank you, senior. I will definitely learn it well after I go back and not let you down."

Feng Qingyang said, "I don't like meeting strangers. Don't tell anyone about my affairs." He turned around, walked down the cliff, and disappeared into the back mountain.

The tense string in Lu Dayou's heart relaxed and he felt his feet go weak. He sat down on the ground and rested for a while before getting up and going into the cave. He told Shi Potian what Feng Qingyang had asked him to keep secret.

Shi Potian didn’t think this was a big deal. Since Feng Qingyang didn’t want to meet strangers, then it would be better for him not to meet him.

In the next half month, Lu Dayou came to the cliff early every day to learn swordsmanship from Feng Qingyang.

If Shi Potian touched people's hearts with his sincerity, then Lu Dayou knew better how to please people.

After several contacts with Feng Qingyang, he understood Feng Qingyang's character. He no longer called him "senior" respectfully, but followed Shi Potian and called him "old uncle". He was no longer cautious in his words and deeds, but catered to Feng Qingyang's preferences and showed the free and unrestrained style he learned from Linghu Chong.

Although Feng Qingyang is old, he has been living in seclusion in the back mountain of Huashan for many years. In terms of how to behave and deal with people, he has not only not made any progress compared to the past, but has regressed a lot.

She was easily tricked by Lu Dayou and her liking for him increased greatly.

Seeing that Lu Dayou already knew how to use the sword, Feng Qingyang didn't want to delay it any longer and said, "We won't practice swords today. I have a set of swordsmanship to teach you. This swordsmanship was created by a martial arts master named Dugu Qiubai hundreds of years ago. It..."

Feng Qingyang briefly recounted the deeds of Dugu Qiubai and the power of the "Nine Swords of Dugu".

Lu Dayou was stunned and fascinated. When he heard Feng Qingyang say that he did not want the Dugu Nine Swords to be lost, he passed it to him. He hesitated for a moment, knelt on the ground, and said, "The more powerful the martial arts in this world, the more difficult it is to practice. The Dugu Nine Swords is so powerful that I may not be able to learn it."

"My senior brother's talent and comprehension are far superior to mine. If the old uncle teaches him the Dugu Nine Swords, he will definitely be able to learn it and not let Senior Dugu's hard work be lost."

When Feng Qingyang heard the first half of the sentence, his brows immediately frowned. If a martial artist doesn't even have this kind of spirit, then he shouldn't practice martial arts anymore.

When I heard the second half of the sentence, I was stunned.

Feng Qingyang's face darkened immediately, and he said sternly: "Boy, you have to think it over carefully. This peerless sword technique is envied by heaven, and it can only be passed on to one person in each generation. If I pass it on to your senior brother, you won't be able to learn it."

Lu Dayou was stunned, with a look of struggle on his face, but soon his gaze gradually became firm.

The eldest brother was the first one to meet the old uncle. I was already benefiting from the eldest brother’s guidance. If I deprive the eldest brother of this opportunity, I would be worse than pigs and dogs!
Lu Dayou knocked his head heavily on the ground and said, "I, I have average talent and aptitude. Even if I learn the swordsmanship of Senior Dugu, I may not be able to achieve great success. I'd better... I'd better pass it on to my senior brother."

Feng Qingyang asked: "Are you sure? Don't you regret it?"

Lu Dayou said firmly: "No regrets."

Feng Qingyang laughed loudly, and stroked Lu Dayou's hair with his dry fingers, his tone full of envy: "Yue Buqun is so lucky to have disciples like you."

He patted Lu Dayou on the shoulder and said, "This little kid is very much to my liking. I was a little hesitant at first, but now I don't have to worry anymore. Come, come, I will pass on the first sword of the Dugu hero to you."

Lu Dayou shook his head repeatedly: "Old uncle, you should pass it on to the eldest brother."

Feng Qingyang had a complicated look on his face: "You are the second person in the world who rejected Dugu Jiujian."

Lu Da was startled. When he realized what Feng Qingyang meant, he opened his mouth wide: "Uncle, you, you mean..."

Feng Qingyang said unhappily, "Why do you think I should teach you this sword technique? It's because that kid doesn't want to learn it. You don't have to think too much about it. With that kid's current martial arts, it doesn't make much difference whether he learns this sword technique or not."

Only then did Lu Dayou feel relieved.

Feng Qingyang said: "Master Dugu's first sword has 365 variations. You need to memorize them all and master them. If you forget one variation, you will make mistakes in the following moves."

"I will pass on the formula to you first. Guimei goes to Wuwang, Wuwang goes to Tongren, and Tongren goes to Dayou. The meaning of these three sentences is..."

Feng Qingyang deliberately spoke loudly. He was not only speaking to Lu Dayou, but also to Shi Potian in the cave.

Feng Qingyang knew very well how terrible Shi Potian's memory was.

He just needs to say it a few more times and let Lu Da recite it a few more times.

Even if Shi Potian didn't listen on purpose, he would passively remember it, or even learn it passively.

If any unexpected event really happens in the future, the Dugu Nine Swords can be passed down.

When Lu Dayou heard that the first move had 365 variations, he was shocked, but he quickly collected his thoughts and listened carefully.

Feng Qingyang explained the formula one by one in order, and then taught various variations attached to the formula.

Lu Dayou's talent and comprehension are not as good as Linghu Chong in the original time and space, but he does not have the threat of Tian Boguang outside, so he does not need to learn the first sword "General Formula" and the third sword "Broken Sword" of the Dugu Nine Swords overnight. When he encounters difficulties, he can ask immediately.

Feng Qingyang also patiently answered his questions until Lu Dayou almost understood them, and then he continued to explain.

After being taught like this for seven or eight days, Lu Dayou finally memorized all the key points of Dugu Nine Swords, understood their meaning, and began to practice the 365 variations.

Shi Potian was in the cave and heard all of this, but his attention was completely focused on the 365 variations of the "Final Style".

The "Final Style" of "Nine Swords of Dugu" has the most variations of sword techniques in the world, and then there are the "Sword Breaking Style", "Spear Breaking Style" and so on, which can break all the techniques in the world.

If he could find out all the changes of internal force in the meridians and dantian, could he create any kind of internal force he wanted?

Shi Potian's mind was pure, and he didn't consider at all that the changes of internal force in the meridians and dantian were countless times more complicated than sword techniques, and the exploration process was countless times more dangerous. He didn't consider how difficult his idea was and whether it was possible to realize it.

After confirming that his idea was correct, he started to try it little by little starting from the "Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian" among the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, studying the various changes of internal force in it.

Time flies and another half month has passed.

That night, Feng Qingyang and Lu Dayou had already left, leaving Shi Potian alone on the Cliff of Repentance.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard Lu Dayou's anxious voice outside: "Big Brother! Big Brother!"

Shi Potian got up and walked out of the cave. When he came to the edge of the cliff, he saw Lu Dayou running towards him in a hurry, his forehead covered with sweat and a look of extreme anxiety.

Shi Potian asked hurriedly: "Sixth Junior Brother, what's wrong? What happened?"

Lu Dayou didn't bother to answer, and panted and urged: "Big Brother, Master's Wife asked you to go down and see her immediately. Don't ask for now, when you get to Zhengqi Hall, you will know what's going on."

Shi Potian did not ask any more questions. He flew down the Cliff of Repentance and used all his strength to display his Qinggong skills. In an instant, he reached the destination of more than ten miles of mountain road.

The lights in Zhengqi Hall are bright.

Ning Zhongze sat in the main seat with a frown on his face. He looked up at the entrance of Zhengqi Hall from time to time with an anxious expression.

Sitting in the guest seat was a little nun with an exquisite and charming appearance. She was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with an oval face and a graceful figure. Although she was wrapped in a loose black robe, her graceful and elegant figure could not be concealed.

Her black dress was covered in mud, her eyes were red and swollen, and tears were streaming down her face. She looked as delicate and pure as a pear blossom in the rain, which made people feel very distressed.

Yue Lingshan was trying to comfort her, but it was no use.

The other Huashan disciples stood on both sides of the hall, all with worried expressions on their faces.

As soon as Ning Zhongze saw Shi Potian, he stood up, walked quickly forward and said, "Chong'er, you're here."

Shi Potian asked: "Master's wife, what happened?"

Ning Zhongze said, "The head of Hengshan Sect, Master Ding Xian, received a message from Alliance Leader Zuo, saying that the Demon Cult had invaded Shaanxi in large numbers and was coming to our Huashan to seize the Sunflower Manual. So she sent Masters Ding Jing and Ding Yi to lead their disciples to come to our Huashan Sect to help."

"Unexpectedly, Master Dingjing and her companions were ambushed by the Demon Cult not long after they entered Shaanxi. Now they are trapped on Wan'an Mountain, relying on the terrain to barely hold on. However, many disciples of the Hengshan Sect, including Master Dingyi, were seriously injured, and the situation is critical."

"This is Master Dingyi's disciple, niece Yilin. She took a small path and luckily escaped the siege of the Demon Cult. She came to our Huashan Sect to ask for help."

"I have sent someone to Chang'an to tell your master about this, but the situation is urgent. You and your little sister should go with nephew Yilin to find out the situation first. When your master comes back, we will rush over immediately."

Ning Zhongze originally thought that the matter of "Sunflower Manual" was a rumor spread by Zuo Lengchan, but now it seems more like it was spread by the Demon Cult with the purpose of weakening the strength of their Five Mountains Sword Sect.

The Hengshan sect was obviously tricked, and no one knew what the situation was with the other three sects.

Ning Zhongze was worried, but there was nothing he could do.

Those Huashan disciples whose martial arts skills were barely acceptable, such as Liang Fa and Shi Daizi, were sent by Yue Buqun to Fujian to help Lin Zhennan support the cause and rebuild the Fuwei Escort Agency.

Among the remaining disciples, only Shi Potian and Yue Lingshan are capable.

Then, they became husband and wife.

Yue Buqun went down the mountain to deal with the riots caused by those gangsters. She had to stay in Huashan, so she could only let Shi Potian and Yue Lingshan go to rescue and find out the situation.

It looks a bit shabby, but I've done my best.

All we can do is wait for Yue Buqun to come back and discuss countermeasures.

When Shi Potian heard that Master Dingyi, the good person who had always brought dishes to him during the Golden Basin Retirement Conference, was in danger, he nodded quickly and urged: "Junior Sister, Junior Sister Yilin, let's go quickly."

Yi Lin once followed Master Dingyi to participate in the Retirement Conference and knew how powerful Shi Potian was.

This was also the reason why, after she learned that Yue Buqun was not on the mountain, she was still willing to wait in the Zhengqi Hall, instead of rushing to seek help from the nunneries in Shaanxi that were on good terms with the Hengshan Sect.

Seeing that Shi Potian was actually planning to travel overnight, Yi Lin was moved and choked up as she said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Linghu, Senior Sister Yue."

Yue Lingshan comforted her softly, "Junior Sister Yilin, if you hadn't come to help us at Huashan, you wouldn't have encountered this kind of thing. We are the ones who should be thanking you."

Yi Lin's eyes instantly filled with tears.

Ning Zhongze nodded secretly, very satisfied with what Yue Lingshan said, and reminded her: "You must act according to the situation and not be impulsive."

The three of them immediately bid farewell to everyone on Mount Hua, and came to a farm of the Huashan Sect at the foot of the mountain. They mounted their horses and galloped all the way towards Wan'an Mountain.

They didn't know that countless pairs of eyes were already staring at them at the foot of the Jade Maiden Peak.

Almost at the moment they went down the mountain and left Huashan, a carrier pigeon delivered the news.
