Zhao Mingyue shook her head: "How did you get up here without your company?"
She seemed to have just discovered this problem. She looked at Li Muchan in surprise and looked up and down. The road leading here was controlled by the disciples of the sect. Most people could not get up there, let alone Li Muchan.
On the other side is a vertical cliff, which is even more impossible. Could it be that he flew up with wings?
Li Muchan smiled and said proudly: "I climbed up from over there!"
Zhao Mingyue pointed to the south of Xuefeng: "Over there?"
Li Muchan nodded proudly.
Zhao Mingyue said in surprise: "It's a cliff over there, it's impossible to climb up."
Li Muchan smiled and shook his head: "Is there any mountain that cannot be climbed? I can't climb up now!"
Zhao Mingyue looked at him curiously with her bright eyes: "Then how did you get up here?"
Li Muchan explained the method, Zhao Mingyue nodded and said: "Your method is feasible. Let me take a look at your sword."
Li Muchan handed the sword over and said with a smile: "I snatched this from a disciple of Taiyi Sect. It is indeed not an ordinary thing. After digging so many caves, there is no trace at all."
As he spoke, he drew out his long sword, and a cold light flashed. He flicked the sword with his fingers, and a clear voice sounded, like a dragon's roar.
"What a sword!" Zhao Mingyue reached out and took the long sword, lowered her head and looked at it: "It's such a good sword, it's a pity to use it to dig caves."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "It's just an external possession. Are you okay here?"
Zhao Mingyue nodded: "Very good."
Li Muchan stared at her for a long time: "Mingyue, take off the veil and let me see your true face!"
Zhao Mingyue glanced at him sideways and shook her head.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "We are so familiar, we live and die together, our friendship is extraordinary, right? Can't we see your true face?"
Zhao Mingyue shook his head and said: "I don't like others to see my face."
"Why?" Li Muchan asked.
Zhao Mingyue just shook her head and changed the subject: "You should leave quickly. Uncle He will come over later to deliver something. Don't let her see it."
Li Muchan smiled and said, "I saw her at the foot of the mountain, so I knew you were here."
Zhao Mingyue just urged, but Li Muchan refused to leave and said with a smile: "Even if your Master He sees it, it's okay, she won't say nonsense!"
Zhao Mingyue shook his head and said: "No, no, please leave quickly."
Li Muchan refused to leave, which made Zhao Mingyue anxious and reached out to hit him. Li Muchan dodged, but she continued to hit him, and the two started fighting in the stone room.
You come and I go, punches come and go, the two are very familiar with each other in martial arts. Once they fight, it will be difficult to tell them apart for days and nights.
But this time, Li Muchan found it a bit difficult, so she used a new palm technique.
After more than twenty moves, Li Muchan called out: "Mingyue, what kind of kung fu are you doing?"
Zhao Mingyue said: "Ice Palm."
Li Muchan shook his head: "You do have some skills, Ice Palm, I want to learn from you!"
He used the Great Vajra Fist, and the fists carried a fierce and fiery aura. Zhao Mingyue's jade palms exuded a cold aura. The two of them were cold and hot, and the surrounding air was hot and cold, one rising and one ebbing, changing constantly.
The Ice Palm was indistinguishable from the King Kong Fist, but Li Muchan was not familiar with her routines and received a slap from her. Fortunately, the palm force was not strong, and it was obviously Zhao Mingyue who kept his hand.
As they fought, Li Muchan gradually figured out the details of Ice Palm, and the fight became easier. The two were in a stalemate again, and the fight was inseparable.
From noon to dusk, Zhao Mingyue suddenly stopped, and Li Muchan followed and disappeared into the stone room, like a ghost.
Zhao Mingyue hurriedly packed her clothes, sat down on the futon again, remained motionless, adjusted her breath and calmed down, closed her eyes, but her eyeballs were rolling.
A moment later, the sound of light footsteps came, and He Yuru came curling up, holding a basket in her hand, wearing a white shirt, looking beautiful.
She came in with a smile: "Mingyue, look what I brought... Huh?!"
She suddenly stopped, glanced around, frowned and said, "Mingyue, is there anyone here?"
Zhao Mingyue turned around and said, "Uncle He."
He Yuru looked puzzled and stared at Zhao Mingyue: "Mingyue, there seems to be something strange here... Why is there a hot smell?"
Zhao Mingyue said hurriedly: "What did uncle bring here?"
He Yuru laughed and raised the basket: "I bought some rouge, see if you like it."
Zhao Mingyue frowned and shook his head: "I don't wear rouge."
He Yuru came to her with a chuckle, put the basket down, and said with a smile: "How can my daughter's house not be rouged?"
Zhao Mingyue shook her head and said: "I don't like rouge, it's troublesome and irritating, so forget it, uncle, keep it for yourself."
He Yuru opened the basket and said with a smile: "I have some there. These are for you... My daughter's family should be like her daughter's family. Don't just practice kungfu all day long. It doesn't have the softness of her daughter's family at all. What man can do that?"
Would you like it?!"
Zhao Mingyue shook her head: "I don't need them to like me."
He Yuru pursed her lips and smiled: "Really?...What about Li Wuji?"
"Why are you mentioning him!" Zhao Mingyue's bright eyes flashed and she hurriedly said: "I don't like him!"
"Really?" He Yuru chuckled, shook her head and said, "Silly girl, I'm an old master, so I can't see your little thoughts. If you really don't like him, why bother to risk saving him?"
"I did that to repay my kindness!" Zhao Mingyue said hurriedly.
He Yuru pursed her lips and smiled: "I saw him in the small town at the foot of the mountain. He didn't trust you, so he didn't run away far and took the risk of staying there."
Zhao Mingyue said "hmm" and lowered her head without speaking.
He Yuru suddenly said: "Is he coming?"
Zhao Mingyue was startled and quickly raised his head to look at her in surprise.
He Yuru chuckled: "I guessed it right. Were you two doing the trick just now?"
Zhao Mingyue wanted to deny it but didn't bother to lie, so she tightened her lips and said nothing.
"He's really here!" He Yuru chuckled and shook her head: "How did he get up here?"
Zhao Mingyue closed her lips tightly and said nothing.
He Yuru shook her head and smiled: "But, he hasn't even seen your face, so he can't possibly like you, maybe he just feels sympathy for you."
Zhao Mingyue snorted and his eyes flashed.
He Yuru said: "His ability is really amazing. He can even come up secretly. Please be careful and don't let the boss find out, otherwise he will be in big trouble!"
Zhao Mingyue said nothing, neither denying nor admitting.
He Yuru smiled and said, "Well, since he is here, you won't be lonely, so I won't waste your time. I'll come back next month."
After saying that, she stood up, waved her hands and turned away.
Zhao Mingyue sat on the futon and watched her leave. After a while, Li Muchan was not seen coming. She was so surprised that she got up and left the stone room and went outside. The smooth ice surface was completely empty, and there was no trace of Li Muchan.
She stood on the ice and waited for a while, but still couldn't see his shadow, and she couldn't bear to say hello, so she snorted, turned around and returned to the stone room.
As night fell, the moonlight shone like water on the ice, illuminating the surroundings. Zhao Mingyue practiced swordsmanship on the ice for a while. The sword light was like snow, reflecting the surroundings a bit brighter. Her reflection appeared on the ice, like a dream.
Like an illusion.
After a long while, Li Muchan still didn't come up. She was a little confused and itchy.
She sheathed her sword, sheathed it, and slowly came to the cliff on the south side. She looked down and saw a gust of cold wind whistling fiercely, like a flying knife.
She was startled, and hurriedly used the Thousand Jin Pendant to stabilize herself, looking far into the distance, but she couldn't see anything dark below, like a bottomless abyss.
She took a breath and pulled back her head, looking up at the sky.
The night sky is clear and quiet, and the moon is like an ice wheel, emitting a cool brilliance as it rotates. The night sky is exceptionally bright and clear, with countless stars.
The cold wind was howling around her, and someone seemed to be crying. She felt a little bored. Normally, she would practice martial arts alone without thinking about anything or feeling anything. When he came, she disturbed her tranquility.
She was about to turn around and go back when suddenly a dark shadow flashed and Li Muchan appeared, laughing and saying: "Is Mingyue looking for me?"
Zhao Mingyue turned around and glared at him: "Where have you been?"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "I'm down there. Your Uncle He has been hiding in the dark and wants to see me. Naturally, I can't show up."
Zhao Mingyue snorted and said no more.
Li Muchan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Come on, come and have a look in my cave."
Zhao Mingyue said: "What's there to see?"
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Let's see and then talk."
As he spoke, a leaf floated down. Zhao Mingyue came to the edge of the cliff and looked down. The cold wind roared up along the mountain wall, and suddenly blew up her veil.
Li Muchan was standing in a cave and looking up. When he saw her charming face, his eyes widened in surprise. He was quite surprised.
Originally, with her temperament, her face must have been as cold as ice, as if it could not melt away like snow. Looking at the cold and frozen person, I never expected that there was such a charming face under the white gauze.
This charming face is completely different from her temperament. No wonder she keeps her face covered.
Zhao Mingyue quickly retracted her head, put down her veil, and glared down angrily: "You are so troublesome, I won't go!"
After saying that, he flashed back to his stone room.
Li Muchan laughed, floated to the top of the mountain, then entered her stone chamber, and said with a smile: "What's the matter?"
Zhao Mingyue was sitting on the futon, motionless with her back to him.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "It's really God's will. God helped me to let me see your face clearly. It's a beautiful face. Why do you have to keep it covered?"
Zhao Mingyue said coldly: "Just make fun of me!"
Li Muchan shook his head: "I don't mean to make fun of you. You are indeed beautiful. It's a pity that you are covered up, but it's okay to be covered up."
"What's good?" Zhao Mingyue turned around and asked.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "It would be a shame to have such a beautiful face seen by others, so just keep it covered like this and show it to me alone!"
Zhao Mingyue snorted: "That's all nonsense!"
Li Muchan said with a smile: "The cave below me is very warm, why don't you go down and take a look?"
"I'm not afraid of the cold." Zhao Mingyue shook her head.
Li Muchan sighed regretfully: "Well, how about we go have a fight, and then you come back here, and I'll go back to the cave to rest."
"...Okay." Zhao Mingyue pretended to be unhappy, then stood up and walked out.
After the two played a game, they went back to sleep. The next day, Li Muchan came early, took a futon and sat on the ice, breathing in and practicing the Diamond Transformation Rainbow Sutra.
The body is covered with a layer of sunshine, as if wearing a ray of sunshine, and looks dazzling like a god.
Zhao Mingyue also sat on the ice with a futon, practicing the Ice Soul Magic Skill. The cold air in the morning was restrained around her, and a layer of cold air like white mist enveloped her. Her face could not be seen clearly, only her figure was vaguely visible.
.
The two of them sat, one on the south side and the other on the north side, with a stone room in between. After practicing for an hour, they each finished their exercises. After Li Muchan returned to the stone cave, he brought a wooden box and a futon to Zhao Mingyue's stone room.
Zhao Mingyue was taking out a few pieces of dry food. She came here to face the wall, not to enjoy herself. She came here once a month to deliver food and water, so of course there was no hot meal.
Li Muchan came over with a futon in one hand and a wooden box in the other. He put the futon in front of her, then sat down and placed the wooden box between them.
"What is this?" Zhao Mingyue pointed to the wooden box. The wooden box was about one meter in size and looked like a box containing silver.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Breakfast."
As he spoke, he opened the wooden box, and the aroma immediately filled his nostrils. Two steamed buns were placed on the top floor. After taking them out, there were two plates of stir-fried vegetables, and below them were two bowls of millet porridge, both of which were steaming hot. They had obviously been brought there not long ago.
.
Li Muchan took out the chopsticks and spoon, handed them over respectively, and said with a smile: "I sell this in the small town at the foot of the mountain. It tastes good. Try it."
Zhao Mingyue was not polite, took the chopsticks and spoon, and then the two started eating breakfast.
After breakfast, Li Muchan tidied up and said to Zhao Mingyue: "I went to the town today to have a look. Yesterday, a lot of strangers came to the town. They were a bit weird."
"What's weird?" Zhao Mingyue asked.
Li Muchan shook his head: "You still can't tell, they are all from the training family. Although they hide it very well, they can't hide it from my eyes!"
He pointed at his eyes and hummed: "I want to see what kind of mystery they are making."
Zhao Mingyue frowned and said: "Don't join in the fun, it will be a disaster if Master finds out."
Li Muchan nodded and smiled: "Don't worry, I won't take action, I will just watch the excitement from the sidelines."
"Yeah." Zhao Mingyue nodded.
Li Muchan put the things back in the wooden box, then floated out of the stone room, returned to the cave, and then used Qinggong to get down the cliff. With several caves as buffers, it was much easier for him to go up and down.
Moreover, it is also good for practicing Qing Gong and cultivating internal strength. Under high tension, it can stimulate potential and is better than meditating to cultivate internal strength.
He made several caves much more hidden. The temperature here is so cold that as long as water is poured, ice will form and then cover the entrance of the cave, making it difficult for outsiders to detect.
************************************
As the sun set in the evening, Li Muchan showed up again and took dinner to eat with Zhao Mingyue. The two chatted while eating, and Li Muchan talked about what he had seen and heard at the foot of the mountain.
Li Muchan took a piece of beef, frowned and said, "These people are mysterious, do they want to do harm to your Yubing Pavilion?"
"No way?" Zhao Mingyue was startled and looked up at him, still chewing a piece of beef.
Li Muchan shook his head and said: "These people have extremely high martial arts skills. Ordinary sects don't have this strength. Are they from the six major sects?"
Zhao Mingyue said: "Could it be that you from the Vajra Sect knew you were here, so they came to take you back?"
Li Muchan laughed: "Can I still recognize someone from this sect?"
Zhao Mingyue thought for a moment and said, "Who could that be?...I heard from Master that except for the Vajra Sect, our relationship with other sects is not bad."
Li Muchan said: "Anyway, I think the person who came here is not good. You should remind your master not to be careless and let others take advantage of you."
Zhao Mingyue nodded: "I understand."
After dinner, the two discussed martial arts. Li Muchan was profound in martial arts, while Zhao Mingyue was superior in proficiency. She had been with her master since she was a child, and she had taught him everything he could. She inherited Shui Yunyan's mantle, and she was better than Lan, even better than Lan.
After an hour, the two of them came out of the stone room and sparred on the ice. They had a hearty fight. They both felt that their minds were agile and their hands were amazing. It was completely different from practicing alone.
In the early morning of the third day, Li Muchan brought breakfast. After the two of them had eaten, Li Muchan took out a booklet from his arms and said with a smile: "Look, I got something good!"
Zhao Mingyue reached out to take it, looked at it and looked up at him: "Three-ring sword technique?"
Li Muchan said: "What kind of martial arts is this? Do you know?"
Zhao Mingyue shook her head: "I've never heard of it."
As she spoke, she slowly flipped through the booklet, page by page. The booklet, which only had about twenty pages, was finished in a blink of an eye. Then she flipped through it again and handed it back to him.
Li Muchan smiled and said, "I remember."
"Yes." Zhao Mingyue nodded and said: "It's a very exquisite swordsmanship, but the mental method needs to be extremely yin and soft, which we don't meet."
Li Muchan said: "It's a pity that I couldn't steal that person's mind. I was lucky enough to succeed. He is a powerful person."
Zhao Mingyue asked: "Where did you steal it from?...I heard from the master that this is a taboo in martial arts. If he finds out, he will definitely kill you."
Li Muchan smiled and said, "It's those guys."
Zhao Mingyue pondered and said: "This set of swordsmanship is exquisite. It should not be an ordinary sect. The six major sects do not seem to have this set of swordsmanship... Kuangsha Sect's Wild Wind Sword, Lieyan Sect's Thunder Palm, Vajra Sect's Diamond Sword, Changchun
The Spring Wind Sword of the sect, the Taiyi Golden Sword of the Taiyi Sect,...I have never heard of the three-ring sword technique, but based on the exquisiteness of these sword techniques, they should have become famous all over the world."
Li Muchan said: "Let's do some research and find a way to crack it. If they are really disadvantageous to you, we can be one step ahead."
Zhao Mingyue raised her eyebrows: "Yeah."
Li Muchan could see that she had a photographic memory and her aptitude was not inferior to his. He attacked her with the three-ring sword first and dismantled her for a while. After she became proficient, he used the three-ring sword again.
The two of them first practiced the three-ring sword and then began to crack it. This sword technique was exquisite and it really took a lot of effort on their part.
