The cold wind in early spring is like the last comfort of this winter. When the first touch of green quietly appears in the mountains and fields around Yinren Village, the birds of prey and ferocious beasts in the mountains officially declare that they have survived another cold winter.
Looking at the new buds bursting out from the ancient trees in front of her, a petite girl was quietly watching the melting and thawing streams and waterfalls in the mountains and fields.
The masked girl occasionally squatted down and reached out to touch the earth, feeling the changes in the land in the spring breeze.
She had long hair in a bun, and a gray-black mask covered the girl's face. However, her petite hands and figure showed that she was not very old. This person was none other than Li Xintian.
In the blink of an eye, three days of training had passed. During this period, the entire young people in Yinren Village, including the seven of them, were very busy, because there were less than seven days left before the martial arts competition.
Yinren Village issued an announcement at the beginning of the year that the martial arts competition will be officially held the day after the Spring Festival.
The Early Spring Festival is a very important festival in Yinren Village. Not only Yinren Village, but also the entire Luoyun Kingdom regards the Early Spring Festival as a very important festival in the year, its status is second only to "Cloud Rest Day".
People will go up the mountains to collect various herbs and wild plants during the Early Spring Festival. After a winter of heavy snow that seals the mountains, the harvest on this day of the Early Spring Festival is much more than before.
Li Xintian usually practices in the deciduous forest in the north of the village. She has liked to be alone since she was very young. The technique she practices is called "Thick Earth Qi Control Technique".
This Nei Jin Kung Fu method is meant to be practiced very quickly, and the progress of its practice focuses on understanding. The girl who is only eight years old is able to penetrate the meridians throughout her body, which is also due to her understanding from this piece of earth.
Li Xintian slowly raised his right hand and looked at the dirt particles on his palm. The girl smiled slightly.
She saw soil particles beating on her palms driven by her inner energy.
In the past few days, Yi Xifeng would spend his free time with the girl discussing their respective techniques and the magical uses of their moves.
By chance, Li Xintian demonstrated the wonderful use of this internal strength technique to a fair-faced young man. The young man suddenly had an inspiration and asked her to try controlling the soil in her hands to change it into various shapes.
Unfortunately, the reality is not as simple as the fair young man imagined. The ability of thick earth to control the air is extremely limited.
Li Xintian has been practicing for five years. From the beginning, he consolidated the loose soil into a hard "stone bullet", and then through the guidance of internal strength, he made one end of the spherical stone bullet protrude sharply and turned into a "stone thorn". Every appearance
The changes are extremely difficult.
Only by increasing the output of internal energy can the hardness of "stone bullets" and "stone thorns" be strengthened. Just like before when they dealt with the Blood Moon Greedy Wolf together, the girl used most of the internal energy in her body to condense the "black stone thorns"
, its own hardness far exceeds that of ordinary iron.
Holding the stone thorn in his hand, Li Xintian circulated the internal energy throughout his body. He saw that the stone thorn did not become harder and slender like before, but quickly shattered and turned into a handful of sand again under the urging of the internal energy.
"If you can gather, you can disperse. Gather and disperse as you please. Gather like a ball of fire, disperse like a sky full of stars."
The masked girl held the sand in her hands and remembered what Yi Xifeng said to her a few days ago.
…
She has known Yi Xifeng since she was very young, and her eldest brother and second brother often have this name on their lips.
"Mediocre qualifications, but very interesting."
This was the first comment she heard. She naturally understood that what was interesting here was not just personality. Although the eldest brother had a more casual personality, the second brother Li Chengtao still commented like this, which showed that Yi Xifeng was different from others.
From that time on, the girl began to pay attention to this peer who was about the same age as herself, and at the same time, she subconsciously compared herself with him.
"Brother Chengtao, would you like to teach me swordsmanship?"
"The body of an ordinary person is not suitable for practicing the Thirteen Swords of Chasing the Wind without the support of martial arts."
"Oh, that's it...how about that funny boy?"
"Well...his technique is quite special, but it can be practiced."
"Brother! I have opened up the meridians all over my body!"
"That's right! That's right! He opened the whole body at the age of eight, which is much better than my eldest brother! Even your brother Chengtao didn't open it until he was twelve years old!"
"How about that funny guy? Did he get through?"
"Well, he's quite special. He got through it when he was five years old."
"Oh, that's how it is…"
……………………Dividing line………………
It wasn't until that day when he actually saw the fair boy that Li Xintian confirmed what his two brothers said.
"He is indeed an interesting person."
She shook her head with a chuckle and continued to appreciate the land beneath her feet.
It was not easy for the girl to make a final conclusion about Yi Xifeng's qualifications, but many of his thoughts on cultivation made her feel like she had opened up a whole new world.
…
Yinren Village, made by blacksmith.
At this time, two people, one large and one small, were sitting opposite each other, staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
Lin Rufa's eyes widened. It seemed that the request made by the young man in front of him was really difficult for him to understand.
"Uncle Lin, three thousand irons..." the young man opposite the swarthy man laughed dryly.
"Hmph! Don't even think about this. This time the elders will ask the blacksmith to make a batch of sophisticated weapons for you kids, but they are only compared to the standard weapons in the village and are far from the level of temple weapons.
.Don’t even think about three thousand irons, just tie them to you!"
Lin Rufa shouted angrily.
"Oh, in that case, please trouble Uncle Lin and help me build this!"
The young man smacked his lips and showed a shy smile. He looked very well-behaved. Coupled with his handsome and somewhat scandalous little face, it was difficult for people to think that this person was the most outstanding person who led Yinren Village a few days ago.
Several teenagers worked together to defeat Yi Xifeng of Blood Moon Greedy Wolf.
Lin Rufa glared at the fair-skinned young man and couldn't help but feel angry and funny when he saw him acting like a scoundrel who had taken advantage of him.
He made a weapon for this kid for no reason, but he was picky about it. Although the weapons refined in this batch are not as good as the temple weapons in terms of quality and technique, after all, they were made by him, so they must be rare.
It's a fine product, but the young man still put on an expression of reluctant acceptance.
"Ahem, okay, since you insist so much, just pick it up in three days." Lin Rufa coughed softly and said angrily to the young man.
"Let Bo Lin worry about it." Yi Xifeng stood up and bowed to say goodbye knowingly. He knew that even if the rewards from this training camp did not meet his expectations, he would never be disappointed.
Three days later it will be the Spring Festival, and this weapon will also come in handy in this martial arts competition.
Three days flew by, and the villagers of Yinren Village, young and old, were all busy. The Chunfeng River to the west of the village had already ushered in a new spring flood. After the four or five-year-old martial arts boy in the village completed the "Tongyi" in the morning,
In the afternoon, everyone went to the river to fish.
The strong men in the village, who are also in iron armor as guards, have been busy preparing various gathering and hunting equipment during this time. They are all preparing for the "Mountain Opening Festival" on the day of the Spring Festival.
The so-called "Mountain Opening Festival" refers to the first gathering and hunting activity after the mountain closure on the day of the Spring Festival.
The activity is divided into two parts, one is collecting herbs, and the other is hunting wild animals. By holding the mountain opening festival, the villagers of Yinren Village are also striving for good luck in the new year.
