Li Muchan smiled and said, "I know a thing or two."
"So you are very proficient?" Zhong Ping nodded and praised: "There are not many people who know swordsmanship today. Is it the Baiyun Sect or the Yunxiao Sect?"
Li Muchan shook his head: "I learned from my ancestors."
"Master is...?" Zhong Ping was surprised.
Li Muchan sighed: "Since he has passed away, it's okay not to talk about it. When it comes to killing people, swordsmanship is better."
Zhong Ping smiled and said: "That's true, but unfortunately we know too few swordsmanship, so we can only serve with fists and kicks. How about Junior Brother Li joining the competition?"
Li Muchan was startled and hurriedly smiled and said, "Let's forget it. I'm not familiar with this place, so it won't be good if I rush into it."
Zhong Ping waved his hand: "Junior brother Li is really unhappy. Why do you care so much? In our Gale Gorge, everything is respected based on strength. If you are strong in martial arts, your status will naturally be high, and everyone will naturally respect you. If your martial arts is low, you should still be honest.
Let’s practice with your tail on!”
Li Muchan raised his eyebrows, but he was a little happy. This kind of atmosphere is the best. Otherwise, fellow students will fight against each other, there will be too much internal friction, and the future will be very limited.
He understood what Zhong Ping meant. Regardless of whether he was familiar with it or not, if he wanted to gain a firm foothold in the Gale Gorge, he had to first show his power and show his strength to be respected by everyone.
This is especially true for him, who has become the disciple of the master of the Tianji Hall just after he started, otherwise even his transcendent status will be useless.
Thinking of this, he nodded and said with a smile: "In that case, fine, I will discuss it with you senior brothers and sisters."
"That's right!" Zhong Ping smiled and said: "Go ahead and kill, don't be merciful, otherwise you won't be able to kill anyone. At most, you can lie in bed for a while, but you don't have to kill the sand ghosts, and they will be more grateful to you.
Woolen cloth!"
"Senior Brother Zhong, do you have a wooden sword?" Li Muchan smiled and shook his head. This was unbelievable. Although he could be lazy while lying on the couch, it was very embarrassing and no one wanted to do it.
But now I don’t care about so much. If I want to gain a firm foothold, I’d better show off my power.
"Wooden sword..., let me take a look!" Zhong Ping sped up and came to the ten people standing aside to watch the excitement. He whispered a few words and pointed in this direction.
The ten people turned around and glanced at Li Muchan. They were all women. Their cultivation was not weak. Their looks were not top-notch but they were all delicate. They were considered beauties.
Eyes fell on him one after another, glanced at him, and then looked back, and then a girl in an apricot-yellow robe floated away and entered the main hall.
Li Muchan raised his head and glanced at the main hall, and the three characters "Shenguang Hall" came into view.
After a moment, the girl in an apricot-yellow robe floated out, holding a pitch-black sword in her hand, and handed it to Zhong Ping. Zhong Ping nodded with a smile, thanked her and came to Li Muchan's side.
Li Muchan smiled and thanked him, and took the pitch-black sword. It suddenly felt heavy in his hand. It was three or four times heavier than the blood-drinking sword. He flicked it with his fingers, and there was a muffled "tuk-tuk" sound. It was indeed a wooden sword.
However, this sword is made of dense wood and is not light in weight. It is similar to the sword tree in another world. Judging from its hardness, it is no different from an iron sword.
Zhong Ping smiled and said: "This sword is rarely used, and it has been around for quite some time in our Gale Gorge."
"What a sword!" Li Muchan praised and put it behind his elbow.
While the two were talking, a crisp sound of applause suddenly sounded. A graceful young woman clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Everyone, stop for a moment."
Everyone was furious and ignored them. The graceful young woman shook her head, smiled, and said angrily: "Go and separate them!"
"Yes, Senior Sister Gu." The other nine women responded sweetly, like blossoming flowers floating into the crowd. Their hands were like turning flowers, soft and elegant, and their white and tender hands turned like blossoming lotus flowers.
It blooms, but its power is extremely powerful. Anyone who touches it will be knocked away.
Li Muchan's eyes widened and he turned to look over. Zhong Ping said: "This is the lotus hand. It is the secret technique of the ancient elders. It is very powerful and can both save people and fight enemies."
Li Muchan said: "Elder Gu?"
Zhong Ping exclaimed: "Elder Gu is the deputy elder of our White Tiger Palace. He is good at the secret technique of saving people. These ten are the disciples of Elder Gu. Their martial arts are amazing, right?"
"It's amazing!" Li Muchan exclaimed. Their cultivation was not strong, but their techniques were exquisite, as if they were using the other person's way to repay the other person. It is rare to see such exquisite techniques in this world.
The essence of martial arts in this world is focused on the mind, not the moves. However, this lotus hand is a rare place where both the mind and technique are perfect.
This is tantamount to gathering the essence of martial arts from this world and the original world into one. No wonder it has such power. Compared with the Eight-handed Dragon Capture Hand and the Star-catching Hand, it is far behind.
In the blink of an eye, most of the hundred or so people were blown away. The rest regained consciousness, took a few steps back and left the battle group, and turned their heads to look over.
The graceful young woman waved, and Zhong Ping pulled Li Muchan: "Come on, let's go over there, be careful, Senior Sister Gu is very demanding!"
Li Muchan nodded, and the two of them walked over. As soon as they got closer, a faint fragrance came to their noses, which seemed to be the aroma of oranges.
Li Muchan took a closer look at this young woman. She had a plump figure, a round face, almond-shaped eyes, and a rosy cherry mouth. He wanted to pounce on her and take a bite.
She smiled brightly, her almond-shaped eyes twitching, and looked at Li Muchan lazily: "Is this the new Junior Brother Li? Do you know swordsmanship?"
Li Muchan clasped his fists and smiled: "I have met Senior Sister Gu, and I have some knowledge of swordsmanship."
"Okay, okay, it's rare that you know swordsmanship. We are short of swordsman masters here. You're here just in time." Senior Sister Gu nodded and said with a sweet smile: "You are Master Luo's direct disciple. Don't disgrace Master Luo.
Face, which side do you want to join?"
She pointed towards the crowd.
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Just let Senior Sister Gu tell you."
"If you are brave enough, then join the White Tiger Palace." Senior Sister Gu pursed her lips and smiled.
Li Muchan said "yes" and came to the side with fewer people.
Senior Sister Gu smiled softly and said: "This Junior Brother Li Wuji is a new disciple. He is the direct disciple of Master Luo and is also a master of swordsmanship. You can't be outdone by Junior Brother Li. No mercy. Look at Li
Junior brother’s true ability!”
Her voice was not loud and her demeanor was light, but everyone responded solemnly.
"Okay, let's do it!" Senior Sister Gu slapped her face.
Zhong Ping came to Li Muchan and whispered: "Junior Brother Li, don't show mercy later, let everyone see your strength!"
Li Muchan nodded: "Don't you need to cooperate?"
"Just make a circle." Zhong Ping shook his head and whispered: "When fighting with the sand ghosts, there is no room for more cooperation."
Li Muchan said: "Okay."
He stood with Zhong Ping, and on the other side was an ordinary-looking young man with sharp eyes and a cold aura all over his body.
"This is Junior Brother Meng Chongmeng." Zhong Ping introduced Li Muchan.
Meng Chong nodded to Li Muchan without saying much. Li Muchan responded with a smile, and a loud shout came from the other side: "Kill——!"
"Kill——!" Li Muchan's side also shouted, and then more than seventy people surrounded him, hitting Li Muchan with several blasts of palm wind at the same time.
Li Muchan swung his wooden sword and made a "chi" sound like a tear in his clothes. The surging palm force was immediately broken, creating a hunting wind and blowing the corners of his clothes.
Li Muchan didn't wait for them to make a second move. He flashed forward, stepped forward a foot away like a ghost, and pierced the palm of the young man opposite him with his sword.
This young man was quite handsome. Before he could scream, Li Muchan drew his sword and stabbed the second man's right hand with the same move and the same swiftness.
The two young men groaned, lowered their right palms, and patted them with their left hands reluctantly, wanting to exchange injuries for injuries so as not to let Li Muchan get any advantage.
Li Muchan stabbed with his long sword again, and the left palms of the two men were hit by the sword and were stabbed through each other. Li Muchan dodged and appeared behind the two of them. The tip of his sword tapped the two of them on the shoulders. Before they could react, he struck
He disappeared again and pierced another young man's right hand.
He broke away from the circle of people in the White Tiger Palace and got into the crowd of the other party, like a wolf and a flock of sheep. Every time he stabbed with the black long sword, it pierced the palm of his hand without missing a beat.
This performance shocked everyone. This was a wooden sword, and their body-protecting Gang Qi was deep and solid. Although it was not invulnerable, it was more than enough to defend against wooden swords.
At this time, everyone's protective aura was as if it were made of paper, or even worse than paper. A sword could pierce through it without any hindrance.
They had never seen such ghostly movements and extremely fierce sword skills before.
In just a few glances, Li Muchan had already pricked the palms of more than a dozen people, retreated, and returned to his original position.
He seemed to have exhausted all his strength, so he switched from attack to defense. However, dozens of punches and palm strikes had no effect on him. He just made a light stroke, and the strength suddenly dissipated.
Senior Sister Gu shook her head and said with a sweet smile: "Okay, everyone, please stop."
Most of the people's eyes were focused on Li Muchan, who was a little absent-minded and not red-eyed. As soon as they heard Senior Sister Gu's words, they stopped immediately.
Li Muchan put away his sword and stood up. Zhong Ping laughed and said: "Good guy, Junior Brother Li, it's really surprising. This kind of swordsmanship is really..."
Senior Sister Gu smiled and said: "Junior Brother Li is good at swordsmanship, I admire him!"
Li Muchan clasped his fists and smiled: "Cheng Rang, I can't help you senior fellow apprentices."
Senior Sister Gu waved her hands and said with a sweet smile: "A little flesh injury is not a big deal. It won't matter if you rest for a few days. Junior Brother Li, come with me!"
Li Muchan turned to look at Zhong Ping, and Zhong Ping winked, indicating that he could follow him with confidence.
Li Muchan hugged everyone and came to Senior Sister Gu. Senior Sister Gu looked him up and down and said sweetly: "Good swordsmanship, Junior Brother Li, come with me."
She turned around and walked forward in a hurry. Li Muchan followed her. After walking a few steps, Senior Sister Gu stopped, turned around and said, "Follow me."
Li Muchan helplessly took two steps to walk side by side with her, and the two of them walked eastward.
Senior Sister Gu asked: "Which master did Junior Brother Li's swordsmanship come from?"
Li Muchan shook his head: "My master has passed away and he did not claim my name."
"Alas... what a pity!" Senior Sister Gu shook her head and said with a smile: "Your swordsmanship is full of murderous intent. It is best for you to come to us. Can't it last long?"
Li Muchan nodded: "It takes too much effort to stimulate the mind."
Senior Sister Gu praised: "It's great to be able to do this. With Junior Brother Li, it's easier for us to deal with sand ghosts. These sand ghosts are so slippery that they can't be beaten to death. They're really annoying!"
Li Muchan said: "Senior Sister Gu, what are we...?"
"Go to your residence." Senior Sister Gu pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Each of us disciples in Guangfeng Gorge has a small courtyard. You can choose a good one."
Li Muchan smiled: "Thank you so much, Senior Sister Gu."
Senior Sister Gu smiled sweetly and said: "No need to thank me, you got it based on your true ability. To be honest, this small courtyard is also divided into levels, with different sizes. Now you are considered a first-class expert, no matter the small courtyard."
Her smile was gentle and sweet, enough to make people fall in love with her and find it hard to extricate themselves. However, Li Muchan knew clearly from the way everyone treated her that she looked soft on the outside, but was actually a rose with thorns that could not be touched.
Soon we arrived at the eastern end, close to the cliff, next to dense woods, quiet and quiet, and there was a courtyard in the middle of the woods.
This courtyard is really not small. Li Muchan looked at it with his eyes of space. There are three entrances, the living room, the living room, and the back garden.
Li Muchan raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that there was a garden here. It was really a place of leisure.
The scenery on the top of the mountain is extremely beautiful, with green grass, lush trees, and flowers everywhere. However, the flowers in the garden at home are different from the flowers outside, and the feeling is different.
"Junior brother, let's see if you are satisfied or not." Senior Sister Gu pushed open the courtyard door with a "squeak" sound, stepped in, and said with a smile.
Li Muchan praised: "Very good."
"I said yes without looking at you, how uncomfortable it is!" Senior Sister Gu rolled her eyes at him.
Li Muchan smiled and said, "It feels great."
Senior Sister Gu pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Well, this is one of the best courtyards, but it is a bit colder. You are Master Luo's disciple, and you must be practicing formations. It is best here."
Li Muchan said: "Yes."
Senior Sister Gu smiled sweetly and said: "I will send a maid over. If you need anything, just give me direct orders. As a disciple of Kuangfeng Gorge, the most important thing is to kill more sand ghosts. As long as you can kill sand ghosts, you can say anything!"
Li Muchan nodded, Senior Sister Gu clapped her hands, and a pretty little maid floated in: "Senior Sister Gu."
Senior Sister Gu smiled and said: "Ning Ning, this is Junior Brother Li Wuji, the direct disciple of Uncle Luo. You will be responsible for Junior Brother Li's daily life from now on."
"Yes." Ning Ning nodded and saluted Li Muchan.
Li Muchan clasped his fists: "Senior Sister Lao Ningning is here."
Senior Sister Gu said: "She is a disciple of the outer palace, not a senior sister."
Li Muchan nodded and smiled at Ning Ning. Senior Sister Gu smiled and said, "It would be best if you give her a few nudges in your spare time and she can become a disciple in the palace."
Senior Sister Gu suddenly darkened her face: "But although Ning Ning is a maid, you must never bully her. If I find out, I won't be polite!"
Li Muchan smiled and nodded: "I don't dare."
Senior Sister Gu glanced at him with bright eyes: "Who doesn't know the dirty thoughts of you men? If you dare to have wrong ideas, Senior Uncle Luo can't protect you!"
Li Muchan smiled bitterly and said, "Sister, I'm overly concerned!"
"I hope you are honest. Okay, you should take a good rest. If you don't understand anything, just ask Ning Ning." She smiled sweetly again.
Li Muchan shook his head inwardly. This beauty looked gentle as water at first glance, but in fact she was moody. It was really a headache. It was better to stay away.
After she left, Li Muchan looked around the house and was quite satisfied.
In the evening, Li Muchan came to Tianji Hall refreshed and refreshed. There was already an Eight Immortals table in the hall, with food on it, but it was covered with a bowl to prevent the heat from escaping.
When he came in, Luo Heng got up from the futon, sat down at the table, and waved: "Come over for dinner, and be earlier next time!"
Li Muchan responded and came to sit across from him. Luo Heng looked him over and nodded: "I heard that your boy has grown a face for me!"
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Elder, have you heard about it?"
"What elder, call me Master!" Luo Heng's eyes widened.
Li Muchan reluctantly changed his words: "Yes, Master."
Luo Heng was then satisfied and nodded: "It is said that your swordsmanship is very powerful."
Li Muchan said: "Yes, I have been practicing Buddhist meditation and swordsmanship since I was a child. Later, after my master passed away, I went down to the city and entered the Song family in Baiye City, and then I started to practice the Eight Hands of Capturing the Dragon."
"Who is your master?" Luo Heng asked.
Li Muchan shook his head and said he didn't know, and repeated the previous words. Luo Heng nodded: "I must be a frustrated person, but the world's most famous swordsmanship sect is the Yunxiao Sect, and I think it must have some connection with the Yunxiao Sect. That's all, let's talk about you first.
swordsmanship."
Li Muchan made a gesture of all ears.
"You should have a good sword, how is your sword?" Luo Heng asked.
Li Muchan said: "It's a sword."
Luo Heng said: "That's good. I'm relieved that you have such swordsmanship. ...In seven days, we will go on patrol. I have made arrangements for you to go with Zhong Ping."
Li Muchan nodded, and Luo Heng said: "Don't be careless. The most people lose their lives on their first patrol. Many very skilled people lost their lives on their first patrol because they were not familiar with the Sand Ghost's ways."
Li Muchan nodded slowly, indicating that he knew.
Luo Heng said: "Zhong Ping will tell you carefully about the sand ghost's method. There are also disciples in the sect who can imitate the sand ghost's method. You can give it a try first."
He continued: "The number of sand ghosts killed is military merit, which is a contribution to our Gale Gorge...Military merit has many benefits, just like money in the outside world, which can be exchanged for benefits with various temples, like martial arts spirit
Dharma, elixir, the most important thing is ranking. I only have you as my direct disciple, and you will always take over my mantle in the future. There is no need to compete, but your military achievements are too few, it is difficult to convince the public, and my face is not good!
"
Li Muchan nodded: "Master, don't worry, I will work hard to kill the thief."
"Okay, you just have to be careful. The key is the formation." As he spoke, he took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Li Muchan: "This is the formation talisman. See how many you can memorize."
Li Muchan said: "Master, I have memorized all the formation symbols."
"Song Wu already said it in his letter, saying that you are a prodigy, but what you memorized was only the first level of formation talisman, which is very weak in power!" Luo Heng said.
Li Muchan raised his eyebrows: "The first level of formation talisman?"
"Don't you know?" Luo Heng laughed, shook his head and said, "Song Wu wants to save face. He must be embarrassed to say that this talisman is divided into five layers. The higher you go, the more powerful it becomes, and it is difficult to control."
"Master, how many levels have you memorized?" Li Muchan asked.
Luo Heng touched his forehead: "I am on the third floor."
"This is the second floor?" Li Muchan asked.
Luo Heng nodded: "Well, you memorize the second level first, and then I will teach you the formation and practice it. Practicing the formation is a hard work, so don't rush it."
