In the evening, Li Muchan returned to the small courtyard and took out the Yue Duan Dao wrapped in gray cloth.
The gray cloth was wrapped in several layers, completely hiding its shape. It was difficult for outsiders to guess its true appearance. This Yue Duan Dao was related to his status in the military and could not be lost.
Once someone finds out, there is no need to be sure, just suspicion. The imperial court will definitely get to the bottom of it, even if Hanshan Temple is used as a cover.
After he joined the army, he came into contact with the elites of the army. He found that his ideas before joining the army were naive and he underestimated the soldiers and the court. There were countless strange people in the court and the army. His great-uncle's methods were too simple and could not withstand investigation.
Moreover, military law is ruthless. Even if there is no trace, just suspicion, the court will not let it go easily. The most likely thing is that it would rather kill the wrong person than let it go.
His connection with the army lies on this Duanyue Sword, as well as the red shadow.
Red Shadow's appearance changed drastically, and his speed increased greatly. Few people doubted that a fast horse and a slow horse looked alike, and no one would think they were the same horse.
He had been wrapping the cloth tightly so that no one could see it, and would take it out again after leaving Canghai Mountain. The Duan Yue Knife was an important symbol of his other identity.
Slowly untying the gray cloth, the simple scabbard came into view. He felt familiar and gently touched it, feeling the power inside the scabbard.
"Zheng..." The long knife was unsheathed, looking simple and desolate. He put the knife between his eyebrows, closed his eyes, and calmly felt the killing intent on the knife.
He practiced the Bishui Sword Technique today, and he gained a deeper understanding of the sword technique. After returning to the small courtyard, he suddenly thought of the Duan Yue Sword. He couldn't help but want to touch the Duan Yue Sword and understand the Duan Yue Sword technique.
The cold blade of the blade was pressed against his eyebrows, and the coldness penetrated his skin and penetrated into his mind. Li Muchan understood that this was not the coldness of the blade, but the evil aura emanating from the blade.
This sword has been immersed in the sword intention and has become spiritual. The sword intention of the Duanyue Sword Technique has been tainted in it. If you master the sword intention, you can master the essence of the Duanyue Sword Technique.
Back then, by chance, he had a flash of inspiration and gained the sword intention. He was as calm as a rock, but now he seems to feel that his understanding was shallow and only scratched the surface.
He also understands that as his sword skills become more sophisticated, his understanding of the meaning of Duanyue's sword will become deeper and deeper. Every time he understands it, looking back at the previous one, he will feel that he has only scratched the surface.
The chill is getting thicker and thicker, condensing in the center of the eyebrows, strand by strand, strand by strand, strands entwining, condensing and gathering, slowly forming a knife in the center of the eyebrows.
There was only this knife in Li Muchan's mind. In the empty void, a long knife floated quietly. Suddenly, it slowly slashed down, and when the blade struck, a hole opened in the void.
The void suddenly exploded, as if a mirror was shattered, everything disappeared, and there was severe pain in the center of the eyebrow, as if an electric drill had drilled into the center of the eyebrow.
"Dang clang" the Yue Duan knife fell to the ground. Li Muchan formed a seal with his hands and tried his best to enter the picture of the man and the god observing the sky.
When he woke up from his trance, he grabbed the Duan Yue Dao, walked out of the house to the courtyard, and slowly swung the Duan Yue Dao under the moonlight, appreciating the fear of enlightening the sword's intention just now.
The blade of the sword calmly cuts through the void, slowly and calmly, like a small stream flowing in a flat place. It is indescribable and freehand. He integrated the meaning of the Duan Yue sword into the blue water sword technique.
I have deduced it dozens of times in my mind just now, and now it is quite effective as if I have practiced it dozens of times.
He has a strong spirit. Both deduction in his mind and practice in reality have their own merits. Deduction is excellent in practicing moves, which is better than practice in reality.
However, no matter how exquisite the deduction is, it will be useless if you don't practice it personally.
He took the Duanyue Sword and practiced the Bishui Sword Technique over and over again. Every time he practiced it, there were some subtle changes, as if the knife became a little heavier.
At first it was a trickling stream, but later it seemed to have turned into mercury, leisurely and continuous, yet giving people a sense of concentration.
After practicing for an hour at a stretch, Li Muchan smiled, put away the knife, put it back in the sheath, and wrapped it again with the gray cloth, wrapping it around and around until the shape was no longer visible.
Early the next morning, Li Muchan once again wore a mink coat and mink hat and came to Wuji Hall. Only Master Zhuzhao was in the hall, and Wen Yinyue was not there.
"Master." Li Muchan clasped his fists.
Master Zhuzhao took out a porcelain vase from her arms and said with a smile: "This is what you want."
Li Muchan took it and said with a smile: "How long can it take to grow hair?"
"It only takes three or four days," Master Zhuzhao said.
"That's good." Li Muchan nodded, took it into his arms, and said with a smile, "With this, my identity can be kept more secret."
"You brat, do you really want to grow your hair?" Master Zhu Zhao asked.
Li Muchan nodded: "Disciple doesn't want to take risks."
Sanxiaotang and the Lin family are both stronger than Canghaishan. Once Lin Ping is killed, the two families will definitely join forces. Canghaishan will be even more invincible, so concealing one's identity is the most important thing.
"Alas... I'm having a hard time with you. We are such a big mountain, everything will fall on you." Master Zhuzhao sighed.
Li Muchan smiled and said, "I'm very happy to be able to share Master's worries."
"How long will you be there this time?" Master Zhuzhao gave him a blank look.
Li Muchan said: "It may take a year and a half at a quick time, or three to five years at a slow time. I am not going to take revenge too soon, so as not to arouse the suspicion of Sanxiaotang and the Lin family."
"So long?!" Master Zhuzhao frowned.
Li Muchan said: "Master, do others know that the Blue Water Sword fell on our Canghai Mountain?"
Master Zhuzhao shook his head: "No one should know. Your master was also injured at the time, so he didn't dare to let others know. Besides, it's been more than two hundred years, and no one knows."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "No one knows the best, so as not to miss the mark."
"Zhanran, you will be alone this time, so be careful." Master Zhuzhao warned.
Li Muchan smiled and said, "I'm used to being alone, so don't worry, Master."
"Alas..." Master Zhuzhao sighed sadly.
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Master, if there is anything that worries you, please tell me."
Master Zhuzhao shook his head: "I have discussed with several of my uncles and uncles. We cannot close the mountain. It is easier to open the mountain than to open it. We cannot take this step as a last resort."
Li Muchan nodded: "It doesn't matter if we don't seal the mountain, as long as we ignore the Sanxiao Hall and try to prevent the disciples from walking too far."
"I'm afraid that Sanxiaotang will take the opportunity to attack." Master Zhuzhao frowned.
Li Muchan shook his head and said: "If the strong dragon does not suppress the local snake, then Sanxiaotang and the others will have no opponent?"
"I hope so." Master Zhuzhao said.
In life, there will always be people who cannot be dealt with, especially in gangs. Interests are entangled, grudges are fought, and there are always enemies. Although Sanxiaotang is strong, it will inevitably hurt the bones and muscles after laboring and mobilizing people. How can the enemies let go of this opportunity?
Li Muchan clasped his fists and smiled: "Master, I will take my leave then."
Master Zhuzhao said hurriedly: "Wait!... After you go to Nali, tell me carefully what you plan to do."
Li Muchan said: "There is nothing surprising. He just made a name for himself, then found an opportunity to deal with Lin Ping, and then came back quietly."
Zhuzhao Shitai shook his head: "This is easy to say but difficult to do. Nanli is not as big as us. They are all armed and hide their troops among the people. The court does not strictly guard against the people. The martial arts in the army are not as good as those of us."
There is no distinction between folk martial arts, so people in the martial arts world are one step ahead of us in Dayan... Zhanran, you are considered a first-rate master in Dayan, but in Nali, you are only a second-rate expert."
Li Muchan frowned and said, "Second rate?"
Master Zhuzhao laughed and said, "Yes, with your skills, you are just a second-rate master. Don't act rashly without knowing that the sky is high and the earth is high."
Li Muchan was silent, took off his hat and touched his bald head.
Master Zhuzhao said: "Do you want to challenge other masters and become famous?"
Li Muchan nodded: "This is a shortcut and saves the most effort."
"This can't be done." Master Zhuzhao shook his head and sighed: "Nanli's martial arts skills are much better than ours. You have just learned sword skills, but you are asking for trouble if you fight with others."
Li Muchan nodded slowly and frowned.
Master Zhuzhao said again: "You have a few miraculous skills in your body, but they are not enough to rely on. For example, the magical skill of King Kong is indestructible. The Lin family has a magical skill of dead wood. Once you use it, your body will be like a dead tree and you will be invulnerable to swords and guns. And you have practiced the dead wood skill."
People with magical powers have long Qi pulses and strong vitality. They cannot be killed unless their heads are chopped off."
Li Muchan smiled bitterly: "Nanli is so powerful, so is Dongchu?"
The last time he went to Dongchu to deal with Su Yunyun, he didn't find it too difficult. Although he felt that Dongchu's martial arts was prosperous and was better than Dayan, he didn't become a second-rate master.
Master Zhuzhao said: "There are not many people in a place as big as the palm of Nanli's hand. How can you live well and not be swallowed up by the surrounding people? Is it possible that Xi Zhao, Dong Chu and our Dayan are very friendly?"
Li Muchan nodded slowly.
Master Zhuzhao said: "If you want to become famous, the first step is not to take on challenges and make a name for yourself, but to find a place to learn sword skills from a master and master swordsmanship."
"Apprentice to learn skills from a teacher?" Li Muchan frowned.
Master Zhuzhao said: "Nanli's martial arts is better than ours. You use sword skills, but we don't have sword masters in Canghai Mountain. It's not the right way for you to explore on your own."
Li Muchan nodded.
Master Zhu Zhao said: "With swordsmanship, you will unconsciously use the Nine Swords of the Canghai. You cannot escape the shadow of the Nine Swords of the Canghai. Palm skills can show the shadow of the dragon-slaying hand. After all, swordsmanship is the most powerful."
good."
Li Muchan nodded.
"Fortunately, it is easy to learn swordsmanship. It takes three years to practice swordsmanship and ten years to practice swordsmanship. Depending on your understanding, you can learn it well in one and a half years and become famous," Master Zhu Zhao said.
Li Muchan smiled bitterly: "Then where should I go to become a disciple?"
Master Zhuzhao said: "Let me tell you in detail... there are not many gangs in Nanli. To the north is Beijiang Sword Sect, to the south is Sanxiaotang, to the west is Huxiao Gang, to the east is Xinghu Xiaozhu, in the middle is Haitian Palace, and we
The status of the seven major sects is equivalent."
Master Zhuzhao said again: "You can't go to the Beijiang Sword Sect. The Huxiao Gang is not a place to learn skills. Although the Haitian Palace is strong, it does not recruit disciples. It chooses to bring them into the palace. Xinghu Xiaozhu has a transcendent status. Wu
They are very knowledgeable, but they only recruit people with extremely talented talents."
"Then I'll go to Sanxiao Hall." Li Muchan said.
His aptitude is not really great. Although he has a photographic memory, he is not quick to learn moves and his body still cannot keep up with the speed of his brain.
Master Zhuzhao shook his head: "Sanxiao Hall is not a place to learn arts. If you want to learn arts, the only place is Xinghu Xiaozhu."
