Even ordinary people in Baiyun City can feel this tension. The smell of gunpowder is everywhere, and people's moods become inexplicably violent.
The martial arts figures in the city were cautious, but the number of disputes among the ordinary people increased. It was not uncommon for them to yell at each other or get into physical fights over disagreements.
Under this depressing atmosphere, Leng Wushuang and others stayed put. Most of them lived in the courtyard around Xinghu Courtyard.
The Xinghu courtyard doesn't look big, but the surrounding houses are all small courtyards. I bought it secretly and it is usually occupied by other families. When it is used, it can be used as an annex to the courtyard.
The moonlight was like water, pouring into the Xinghu courtyard. The pavilion in the backyard was brightly lit. Li Muchan and Leng Wushuang sat across from each other, drinking tea and talking.
"Lake Master, do you want to visit Master Lin Tan?" Li Muchan put down the tea cup and asked with a smile.
Leng Wushuang shook his head: "No need."
Now Altar Lin is going crazy, and her coming to his door is just adding fuel to the fire, stimulating him to do crazy things, which will be of no use to Sanxiao Hall or Xinghu Xiaozhu.
"You are too courageous!" She glanced at Li Muchan.
Li Muchan touched his nose and sighed: "Lake Master, Junior Brother Lin has done such a thing and must be killed. Senior Sister Zhang and the others cannot suffer in vain!"
Leng Wushuang said calmly: "I have my own arrangements, why should you make your own decisions?"
Li Muchan said: "I can't help it. Lake Master, forgive me. It doesn't matter to the three seniors, right?"
"Well, they are okay and they are full of praise for you." Leng Wushuang nodded.
Li Muchan laughed and said sheepishly: "I didn't think well and made a mistake, otherwise there would be no need to make such a big show of things."
Leng Wushuang glanced sideways at him and shook his head, seemingly disappointed.
Li Muchan felt a little guilty. He killed Lin Ping not only for Xinghu Xiaozhu, but also for Canghaishan. Because of this selfishness, he couldn't be confident and felt a little guilty.
He quickly changed the subject: "Lord of the Lake, I found a spiritual message in the cave."
Leng Wushuang remained calm and put down the tea cup calmly: "Did that person leave it?"
"Yes." Li Muchan nodded.
"Well, you have a lot of luck, so just keep it." Leng Wushuang chinned slightly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, casting his quiet gaze into the night.
Li Muchan said hurriedly: "I was injured at that time. In order to heal the injury, I just practiced. I didn't care about anything else. Lake Master, let's see if I can practice."
He took out a yellow silk book from his arms and handed it to Leng Wushuang.
Leng Wushuang didn't show any pretense. He took down the teacup, stretched out his hand to take the yellow silk book, flipped through it, read it quickly, then closed it, closed his eyes and remained silent.
*************************************
After a long while, she opened her eyes and nodded: "Well, that's right! ... This mind-blowing magic is so audacious and deviant!"
Li Muchan said: "Can you practice it?"
Leng Wushuang raised his head and looked at him, his eyes as clear as a cold spring, shining through his organs: "Have you practiced?"
Li Muchan nodded: "Yes, I was exhausted at the time and was seriously injured, so I had no choice but to practice hard. Fortunately, nothing went wrong."
Martial arts mental skills cannot be practiced casually. The flow of qi will backfire on the body if you are not careful, especially martial arts secrets, which are most unreliable.
There are many wonders in the world, and the secrets of people's hearts are even more difficult to fathom. Some people have good intentions, while others have evil intentions. The secrets compiled by good people are all exquisite, but they are often afraid that they are entrusted to others and will cause endless troubles. It is inevitable that there will be some flaws in the secrets.
Those with malicious intentions are even more terrifying. The secrets written down are not only useless, but also harmful. Once you really practice cultivation, you will jump into a pit of fire.
Therefore, it is most dangerous to get a secret book and practice impatiently. It is best to demonstrate repeatedly and understand it well before you can practice.
But sometimes when we are in a desperate situation, a secret book is a life-saving straw, and we have no choice but to take a gamble and leave it to fate whether we live or die.
Some people get the secrets, practice hard for several years, and become masters instantly; some get the secrets, practice to the point of going crazy, vomiting blood, and die.
Because of his keen intuition, Li Muchan knew something bad was coming when he saw a secret book, so he dared to start training directly and gave it to Leng Wushuang, but it was a polite gift.
Leng Wushuang looked at him: "You have strong inner strength and have advanced by leaps and bounds. Which level have you reached?"
Li Muchan said: "The gate of heaven has been opened."
"Okay!" Leng Wushuang raised his dark eyebrows and showed a smile: "Only when the heavenly gate is opened can we truly step into the inner hall of ancient qi training!"
Li Muchan said: "It's a pity that I don't know the mentality of the next level."
Leng Wushuang nodded: "Okay, then let me teach you the next level of heart secrets."
She handed the yellow silk book back to Li Muchan and said: "Although this mental method is good, it cannot be used for regular practice. It doesn't hurt to practice it at critical times."
Li Muchan took the yellow silk book, rubbed it with his palms, and immediately turned it into powder.
"Lord of the Lake, please record this mental teaching in the Hall of Stars." Li Muchan said.
Leng Wushuang shook his head: "This is your own destiny, you don't have to leave it to the lake."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "I studied Huzhong's martial arts, and handed over the martial arts to Huzhong, so that my brothers and sisters can practice together and strengthen Huzhong's strength, which is also beneficial to me."
Leng Wushuang smiled: "You think so, you have a good mind, but there are rules in the lake. It doesn't matter what you do with the martial arts you acquired privately. If you really want to share it, you can record it in the Hall of Stars yourself."
Li Muchan nodded and said with a smile: "Excuse me, Lord Lake, to record it."
He then asked why this mental method could not be practiced regularly. He felt that this method was extremely wonderful and that the cultivation of internal energy could be advanced very quickly, far better than any other mental method in the world.
Leng Wushuang shook his head and said: "Let's focus on practicing ancient qi skills."
Seeing that Li Muchan was a little unwilling, she added: "If you are fighting with someone, you can use this method to replenish your internal strength. It is best not to use it at ordinary times. This method is of a very high level. Once you have completed all five qi, you can use this method again, and the effect will be like a god."
!”
Although Li Muchan was puzzled, he still nodded.
"I'll teach you the next level of mental skills." Leng Wushuang showed a smile.
Leng Wushuang explained the Heart Jue in a eloquent manner, but it was very simple. Li Muchan remembered it after listening to it once, and then asked questions, asking questions one by one, and Leng Wushuang answered them one by one.
After listening to this level of thinking, Li Muchan smiled bitterly, it was really difficult.
This level of mental method is called the Nine Turns of Qi Refining Technique. The air of the void enters from the Tianmen, goes down along the Du Vein, then passes through three passes, then passes through the Dantian, goes up the Chonglou, and passes through the Tianmen. This is one turn, and so on.
, nine turns in a row, and finally it is attributed to the spleen, which is considered a success.
This flow of breath is exactly opposite to the rotation route of Qi in the human body. The natural sequence of the human body is to store Qi in the Dantian, and when the Qi is sufficient, it will rush through on its own, along the Du Vein on the back, over the Tianmen of the head, and along the Ren Vein on the predecessor body.
Finally landed in Dantian.
His Nine Turns Qi Refining Technique worked in the opposite direction. He tried to run it once, but it was extremely difficult to run. Qi and blood surged all over his body, making him extremely uncomfortable.
And this must enter the realm of unity between heaven and man, otherwise, the air of the void will be impure and the refining will be useless.
The difficulty of this level of mental skills is somewhat more difficult than the previous levels.
After he tried it once, there was cold sweat on his forehead and he felt uncomfortable all over, as if he had suffered an internal injury. He looked at Leng Wushuang with a wry smile and shook his head.
Leng Wushuang said: "This level of qi refining method is the secret to advance to the next level. It is the beginning of the true introduction to ancient qi refining techniques. If you master this level, you can increase your life span by a dozen. Do you want to practice it?"
Li Muchan smiled bitterly and said, "Has Master Hu ever practiced this technique?"
Leng Wushuang shook his head: "I have never practiced before. This method is not suitable for me, and practicing it is useless."
Li Muchan sighed: "This level is not easy to pass..."
If he hadn't believed in Leng Wushuang, he would have almost thought that he was deliberately killing himself. If he practiced this method in the past, he would have directly dismissed it as random and seeking death, and would not have practiced it.
Leng Wushuang said: "Nine rounds of qi refining, death and then rebirth, is a method of putting oneself to death and then resurrecting. If you can't pass this level, there is no hope in practicing qi."
Li Muchan smiled bitterly and said, "Has anyone passed this level?"
Leng Wushuang shook his head: "There are people in the lake who have tried this skill, but they couldn't pass the first few levels. You are the furthest, so give it a try."
Li Muchan said: "Has anyone ever mastered it?"
Leng Wushuang nodded: "Someone should have mastered it."
Li Muchan's smile became more and more bitter. Looking at Leng Wushuang's expression, she was afraid that she was not convinced that such a nine-turn method of refining qi was really suicidal.
With rare enthusiasm, Leng Wushuang smiled and said, "Let's give it a try. If you want to live forever, how can you achieve it without taking some risks?"
Li Muchan was silent and thoughtful.
Leng Wushuang said: "Don't worry, I will protect you from the side. I won't leave until you master it!"
Li Muchan immediately agreed. The lake owner had the power to bring the dead back to life. With her here, at least his life was safe. Although he was not afraid of death, he did not want to die in vain. It would be too unfair.
The two of them were chatting happily when suddenly a loud laugh rang out: "Haha... Lin Zizhi from the Third Xiaotang Hall wants to meet Lord Lenghu!"
The laughter resounded throughout the night sky, and Li Muchan frowned and turned to Leng Wushuang.
Leng Wushuang smiled lightly: "I didn't expect him to come to the door!"
Li Muchan had discussed with her whether to go to the South Altar of Sanxiao Hall, but she didn't want to see Lin Zizhi, lest it intensify the conflict and start a fight.
But she didn't expect that Lin Zizhi would come to the door in person. She was a little surprised, but she kept her expression calm and said calmly: "Altar Master Lin is here. Please wait a moment, I will greet you personally."
She stood up slowly: "Let's go and see Master Lin."
Li Muchan said: "Lord of the lake, I'm afraid that the visitor is not good. Do you want to make preparations?"
He was used to not using the Eye of the Void when he was around Leng Wushuang. It was only when Lin Zizhi came to his door that he realized that it was Lin Zizhi who was also very skilled in cultivation.
Leng Wushuang nodded: "Yeah, that's fine."
Li Muchan turned around and quickly found Zhang Qiaoyi in the nearby yard. Zhang Qiaoyi was rushing over. After hearing Li Muchan whisper a few words, she nodded and turned around again.
Li Muchan hurriedly took a few steps to catch up with Leng Wushuang and came behind her. When they reached the main door alone, he stepped forward and opened the door.
"Squeak..." There was a sound of the door, and the door opened. A middle-aged man with a purple face stood tall outside. Behind him were six old men with different expressions. Some had their eyes slightly closed, some were standing with arms crossed, and some were lazy.
Looking at Leng Wushuang proudly, some lowered their heads and pondered.
Although these six old men have different expressions, they all have profound cultivation and restrained essence. Instead, they lack the aggressiveness of martial arts masters and look more like bad old men.
Li Muchan frowned and looked at the middle-aged man with a purple face. It seemed that he was Lin Zizhi. He was dressed in brocade clothes, with beard and beard fluttering under his chin. His bearing was like a lion's, and he looked down on all living beings.
His pair of red phoenix eyes opened and closed, and there was a cold flash of electricity, shining directly into his internal organs, which was chilling.
"Master Lin, it's been a long time." Leng Wushuang clasped his fists and chin, his expression indifferent.
Lin Zizhi chuckled: "After a few years apart, Master Lenghu has become even more magnificient than before. I'm very happy to congratulate him!"
Leng Wushuang smiled faintly, turned around and said, "Please come in."
"Haha, I took the liberty to come here late at night, I'm disturbing you." Lin Zizhi clasped her fists and laughed, very polite, without any sign of sadness or anger.
Leng Wushuang said no more, Lin Zizhi looked at Li Muchan: "I wonder who this little brother is...?"
"Li Zhu has met Master Lin." Li Muchan clasped his fists.
"Li Zhu?" Lin Zizhi narrowed her eyes slightly, and cold lightning shot out, like two long swords, which was chilling.
Li Muchan remained calm, clasping his fists and saying, "I was very familiar with Junior Brother Lin, but it's a pity that he died young and cannot see Junior Brother Lin again."
Lin Zizhi laughed: "You and Nizi have a good relationship?"
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Although we haven't known each other for a short time, we still have some friendship."
Lin Zizhi's face suddenly darkened: "How did I hear that you two had a feud and he was expelled from Xinghu Xiaozhu because of you!"
Li Muchan's expression remained unchanged: "Junior Brother Lin misunderstood."
Lin Zizhi sneered, her eyes flashing coldly: "Humph, what a misunderstanding, clever words, no wonder Ping'er can't beat you!"
He suddenly waved his long sleeves: "Let's go!"
Li Muchan pressed out with a light palm, and with a muffled "bang" sound, Li Muchan and Lin Zizhi took a step back at the same time.
"Eh?" Lin Zizhi raised her head in surprise.
Li Muchan smiled faintly: "Master Lin, what does this mean?"
Lin Zizhi sneered: "Hey, what a disciple of Xinghu Xiaozhu!... With your skills, you are more than enough to kill Ping'er!"
Li Muchan raised his eyebrows: "What Master Lin said is really chilling!"
Lin Zizhi sneered: "You are Ping'er's enemy. He can't take revenge. I, the father, will take revenge for him. Boy, just accept your fate!"
As he spoke, he took a step forward and reached out to grab it.
A white shadow flashed before Li Muchan's eyes. Leng Wushuang was already standing in front of him. His white sleeves fluttered lightly and he met Lin Zizhi's big hand.
"Bang!" There was a muffled sound, and Lin Zizhi's hand shrank quickly as if she had been electrocuted. "Bang, bang, bang," she staggered three steps back. Her purple face turned a little darker, as if she was drunk, and her eyes were hazy and out of focus.
"Altar Master!" An old man behind him supported him and turned his head to glare at Leng Wushuang.
Leng Wushuang stood in front of Li Muchan and said calmly: "What a Lin altar master, he doesn't mind losing his identity by fighting against a junior!"
Lin Zizhi shook her head and regained her clarity, her face gloomy as water: "Master Lenghu, you are going to be the enemy of our Sanxiao Hall!"
"So what if we are enemies!" Leng Wushuang said calmly.
******************************************
The surrounding air seemed to have solidified. Lin Zizhi narrowed her eyes slightly, cold electricity burst out, and stared at Leng Wushuang. Leng Wushuang looked at him lightly, her eyes unblinking, clear and pure, as if they were real.
The two people's eyes seemed to collide in the air, sparks flying out, and Li Muchan could really feel the mental confrontation between the two.
In the end, Lin Zizhi was one step ahead. She looked up to the sky and said haha: "Okay! Okay! Sure enough, a hero comes out of a young boy, and a new generation replaces the old one. Master Lenghu doesn't take me seriously anymore!"
Leng Wushuang said calmly: "I don't agree with you to take action against a junior regardless of your status!"
Lin Zizhi shook her head and smiled: "I was just joking with Shaoxia Li. Why should Master Lenghu be so serious, haha..."
Leng Wushuang asked: "What's the matter with Lin Altar Master here?"
She stood there, with no intention of inviting him in. She was cold and indifferent, with the night breeze blowing and her white clothes fluttering, like a fairy in the moon.
Lin Zizhi's face flashed with anger, then she calmed down and smiled: "I just want to ask why I had to expel my evil son from Xinghu Xiaozhu in the first place!"
Leng Wushuang said: "He is cruel to his fellow disciples and has a sinister nature. I, Xinghu Xiaozhu, cannot tolerate a disciple with such a character! ... The so-called son does not teach his father, Master Lin, you have spoiled him rotten!"
Lin Zizhi said coldly: "Master Lenghu, Ping'er is no longer here, and the dead are the most important. Such comments are too much!"
Leng Wushuang said: "One is one, two is two, it is what it is. No matter whether he is alive or dead, he cannot change anything. Is Master Lin here to settle accounts after the fall?"
Lin Zizhi said solemnly: "Not bad!"
He took a deep breath and a cold light burst out from his eyes: "Ping'er had a bright future, but it was ruined by your Xinghu Xiaozhu. Otherwise, why would he have suffered like that and taken such risks to achieve such achievements?
Unexpectedly, you Xinghu Xiaozhu still won’t let him go!”
Leng Wushuang shook his head, as if he was too lazy to refute, and said calmly: "No need to say more, just tell me what you want to do!"
"Okay, have fun!" Lin Zizhi sneered and glanced at Li Muchan: "Every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner. I want to meet Li Shaoxia for a while!"
Li Muchan laughed and shook his head.
This Lin Zizhi was really confused. She could do such a shameless thing, without paying any attention to manners and rules, and brazenly attacked a junior.
It seems that he was really blinded by hatred. No matter how smart a person is, once he is controlled by his emotions, he will become paranoid and confused, and he will do all kinds of stupid things.
Leng Wushuang also laughed and shook his head, almost the same as Li Muchan's movements, with a hint of disdain and sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.
Lin Zizhi turned a blind eye to her sarcasm and said calmly: "Although Li Shaoxia is a junior, his cultivation is extremely advanced. I'm afraid I won't be able to defeat him, but I want to ask for advice!"
Leng Wushuang shook his head and sighed: "What a Sanxiaotang, there are so many heroes!"
She glanced at the other six old men, and they turned their heads one after another, not making eye contact with her, and they were not satisfied with the altar master's actions.
But they also understood that the Altar Master only had one child, the Young Altar Master, whom he loved very much. Now that he died suddenly, the murderer jumped off a cliff and died without any bones. This anger was stuck in his heart and he could not vent it out.
Now that he sees the young altar master's enemies, he will naturally take action. This can be considered as a way of breathing out a sigh of relief for the young altar master, comforting the young altar master's spirit in heaven, and the altar master can also feel a little relieved.
Although his act of disregarding his status was excessive, it was excusable and he could just pretend he didn't see it.
Lin Zizhi didn't care and turned to look at Li Muchan: "Young Master Li, should you hide behind the woman or fight with me!"
Li Muchan smiled and shook his head: "Master Lin, I will obey the instructions of the Lake Master."
The two of them had just exchanged palms, and it seemed that they were evenly matched, but Li Muchan knew that he was still a little bit behind. Once he got started, he would never be Lin Zizhi's opponent. His internal strength was not even close, and his moves would not be dominant.
