Chapter Thirty-Two(1/2)
Yang Jin was really surprised, he didn't expect this to happen.
He did not expect that even Liang Yunxiao had not learned this third-grade "Three Rings and Moon Sword Technique", which was really incredible!
"Don't be surprised!
Yang Jin, you heard that right!
What I'm saying is that even I haven't learned this third-grade "Three Rings and Moon Sword Technique" myself!
Liang Yunxiao continued to say with some self-deprecation:
"Are you surprised when you hear this?
Ridiculous and unbelievable?
Don’t be shy, don’t say it’s you, even if I hear others say this, it’s hard to believe, but it’s the fact!
Now you must be doubting in your heart, since so many people have not learned this third-level "Three Rings and Moon Sword Technique".
Is there something wrong with this swordsmanship itself, so no one can practice it well?
Or, could it be that the practice method of this set of swordsmanship is fake, so no one can learn it?
Yang Jin, I ask you, tell the truth, do you think so?"
"I don't dare to deceive the seniors. That's what the juniors really thought just now!"
Yang Jin nodded and admitted that this was what he was thinking just now.
But when he heard Liang Yunxiao ask him this, he knew that there might be another reason.
He asked tentatively: "Since the senior knows that the junior will think so, why not ask the junior.
It seems that there is no problem with this third-level "Three Rings and Moon Sword Technique" itself.
I just don’t know how senior can confirm that there is nothing wrong with this set of swordsmanship itself?
Could it be that in addition to the disciples of the Hanshan Sword Sect, the seniors also taught this set of swordsmanship to others, but someone else actually practiced it?
Hiss! Huh?... No, if someone really practices it, it is impossible not to tell the secret of this swordsmanship to the seniors, and it is impossible for the seniors not to know it?
And the senior just said that he is still looking for a successor for this swordsmanship!
Could it be that this set of swordsmanship has very high requirements for those who practice it? Even if you know the method of practice, you will not be able to practice it without the qualifications..."
"Okay, Yang Jin, you don't have to guess anymore!"
Liang Yunxiao watched Yang Jin sitting there, thinking hard, talking about various speculations, and couldn't help but interrupt him.
"I'll tell you the truth!
The reason why I am sure that there is nothing wrong with this set of swordsmanship.
It's because I personally saw someone perform this sword technique more than sixty years ago.
It was because I had seen the supreme power of this sword technique with my own eyes that I was always convinced that there was nothing wrong with the training method of this sword technique.
Because it was the person who used this swordsmanship who taught me this peerless swordsmanship.
Speaking of which, that was sixty-three years ago, and I was only eight or nine years old at that time.
Yang Jin, you must have never imagined that I was actually a beggar when I was a child just like you..."
Liang Yunxiao fell into memories and recounted the origins of the third-grade peerless martial arts sword technique "Three Rings and the Moon Sword Technique" that he obtained in his early years.
Yang Jin listened carefully. According to what Liang Yunxiao said, sixty-three years ago, Liang Yunxiao was just a little beggar of eight or nine years old, begging for a living all day long.
With no place to live, he had to live in an abandoned brick kiln.
One day, it was snowing heavily, and he wanted to go to the mountains to collect firewood and light a fire to keep warm.
On such a cold day with heavy snowfall, if there was no firewood for heating, the broken kiln where Liang Yunxiao lived would have air leakage from all directions, making it as cold as an ice cellar.
In order not to freeze to death, he had no choice but to go to the mountains to collect firewood in the snow.
When Liang Yunxiao was collecting firewood in the mountains, he rescued an old man covered in blood and seriously injured in a mountain col.
When he met the old man, he was already buried under the heavy snow.
It was Liang Yunxiao who accidentally slipped and fell into the col and kicked the old man who was seriously injured and about to freeze.
The old man couldn't help but groan and was discovered by him.
The old man told Liang Yunxiao at that time that he was being hunted and was seriously injured. There was no way to save him and he would soon die.
He asked Liang Yunxiao to leave him alone so as not to suffer unreasonable disasters and be implicated.
Liang Yunxiao saw how pitiful the old man was at that time and couldn't bear to see him freeze to death in the ice and snow.
So he felt compassion and took the risk to drag the old man out of the snow back to the broken kiln where he lived, and hid the old man.
Perhaps because the heavy snow covered the old man's tracks, the man who was chasing the old man did not come after him.
Moreover, Liang Yunxiao was not found for nearly half a month.
After hiding the old man, Liang Yunxiao relied on the meals he begged for every day and the things he bought from the old man's scattered silver, and he and the old man reluctantly lived in the broken kiln.
After the old man woke up again, he did not talk about Liang Yunxiao's rescue of him.
He also did not tell Liang Yunxiao his name or the reason why he was being hunted.
Instead, he stayed in silence all day without saying a word.
The old man nursed his injuries silently for three days without saying anything.
But after observing Liang Yunxiao carefully for three days, the old man finally spoke.
Liang Yunxiao was shocked as soon as he opened his mouth and gave him great news!
The old man told Liang Yunxiao that in order to repay Liang Yunxiao for saving his life, he would teach him a martial art to repay his kindness and asked him not to dislike it.
Although Liang Yunxiao was young at the time, he also knew the value of martial arts. When he took the risk to save the old man, he had the intention of learning some skills from the old man.
Now that the old man took the initiative to teach him martial arts, he was naturally very happy.
In the days that followed, Liang Yunxiao followed the old man in reciting a very awkward, obscure, and difficult-to-remember martial arts formula.
In order to allow Liang Yunxiao to concentrate on reciting the chants, the old man not only stopped Liang Yunxiao from going out to beg every day, but also gave him money to buy more grain and store it in the broken kiln for later use.
Even daily chores such as cooking and chopping firewood no longer let Liang Yunxiao interfere.
He was just asked to concentrate on reciting the chants and not be distracted by other things. These chores were done by the old man with his seriously injured body.
From that day on, apart from eating and sleeping, Liang Yunxiao would always recite the martial arts formulas taught by the old man as long as he kept his eyes open.
The old man told Liang Yunxiao that what he was asked to recite was a set of training formulas for the third-grade peerless martial arts swordsmanship. As long as he remembered it, he could memorize it completely.
When the time comes, if he points out the secrets of the cultivation formula, you will be able to understand the secrets of the formula and learn this set of third-grade peerless swordsmanship.
Once you master it, you will become a top master in the martial arts world.
Although Liang Yunxiao didn't know how precious third-grade peerless martial arts was at the time, he still tried his best to become a top master.
I don't think about anything every day. I just forget about food and sleep and memorize the swordsmanship formulas taught by the old man.
It's just that the training formulas for this set of swordsmanship are too many and too difficult.
The oral formula alone has 34,992 words, and every four words is one sentence, making a total of 8,748 sentences. Each sentence is so clumsy and difficult to understand.
Moreover, the old man did not know the reason at the time and did not explain it.
He just urged Liang Yunxiao to memorize all the formulas as soon as possible every day, telling him to remember them and not to memorize them wrong.
Liang Yunxiao was young and illiterate at the time, so naturally he couldn't do it.
However, there is always a way, and even though the formula was clumsy and difficult to understand, he still relied on his extraordinary memory and a special technique.
It took nearly half a month to memorize the 34,992-word sword formula by rote.
That day, after the old man tested him three times and saw that he really remembered it, he took out a book from his body and threw it in the fire in front of him and burned it.
Because it was too late that day, and the old man might be a little tired, he told Liang Yunxiao that he would teach him the secrets of swordsmanship training from tomorrow.
However, due to this delay, something went wrong. As a result, Liang Yunxiao failed to obtain the secret of this unique set of swordsmanship training formulas, and ultimately failed to successfully practice this set of swordsmanship.
It turned out that the old man had been seriously injured and had not recovered. He had been teaching Liang Yunxiao's sword skills at the last breath.
That day, after seeing Liang Yunxiao memorize the sword formula, his wish came true and he felt relieved. Not long after he lay down, the injuries on his body suddenly recurred.
On the night when the old man burned the book, the old man lying on the bed became hot all over, the fever persisted, and he continued to vomit blood.
Liang Yunxiao was very anxious when he saw the old man in this condition, but he really had no choice.
In the end, he had no choice but to take the old man's remaining money and go to the town, intending to go to the drug store to grab some medicine to treat the old man's injuries.
He was cautious at that time and did not dare to ask a doctor for fear that others would know the old man's existence.
But I didn't expect that even though Liang Yunxiao was so careful, he still accidentally left traces in the drug store.
Therefore, he was targeted by the people who were chasing the old man and followed him all the way to the dilapidated cave dwelling where the old man was hiding.
It is not difficult to guess what happened after that. Since Liang Yunxiao survived, of course those who followed him back to the ruined temple and were chasing the old man were all dead.
The person who killed them was none other than the old man who was seriously injured and dying in the broken kiln.
