Zhao Ying gritted her teeth and tried to hold on, but she became more and more desperate. Knives were coming from all directions, and they would chop her to death at any time. As well as Senior Brother Chu, were they both going to die here
She tried hard to clear away distracting thoughts, concentrate on her swordsmanship, find openings to strike, and hold on for a moment longer.
"Senior brother, you go first!" she shouted.
Chu Li sighed, unsheathed his sword, pressed the saddle, jumped into the air, and swooped down like an eagle, his sword shining like lightning.
"Ah!" The screams sounded one after another. Zhao Ying felt a sudden lightness, and most of the pressure was relieved. She quickly turned her head and looked around. Chu Li's body was like a ghost, and his sword was like lightning, flashing and extinguishing, and he would always fall. Next person.
In the blink of an eye, before she could use the third move, everyone fell to the ground, except for the two of them, no one was left standing.
"Senior brother..." Zhao Ying was surprised.
Chu Li leaned on his sword, his face became paler, and he smiled bitterly: "Let's go, it's not a good time to stay here!"
"Okay!" Zhao Ying nodded.
This time, she didn't need to be reminded by Chu Li. She stabbed the people on the ground one by one with her sword, and then helped Chu Li get on the horse. The two of them rode forward and finally left the boundary of Tiger Mountain.
As soon as she left Tiger Mountain, Zhao Ying breathed a long sigh of relief and turned to look at Chu Li. Chu Li's face had not improved and was still as pale as paper.
"Senior Brother Chu, let's find a place to rest. Now that we have left Tiger Mountain, we are not afraid of another robbery."
"Go further, be careful they catch up."
"Can you hold on?"
"No problem." Chu Li smiled and said, "I'm fine, I'm just tired from overexertion."
Zhao Ying shook her head. She was too tired to be like this. He must have been injured. It should have stimulated the secret method that stimulated the potential. It was caused by the onset of sequelae. Especially just now, he must have used the secret method for the second time, which added to the injury.
Thinking of this, she blamed herself. She was too useless and had low martial arts. Not only could she not be able to fulfill her duties as a guard, but she was also a burden. This was simply a shame!
Chu Li smiled and said: "Junior sister Zhao, don't blame yourself. The strength of martial arts is not up to anyone, just practice hard."
"Yeah." Zhao Ying lowered her head.
Chu Li said: "You haven't fully understood the mystery of Feiyan swordsmanship. It's best to observe Feiyan or see how other birds fly. I think you will be enlightened."
"Yes!" Zhao Ying raised her head with an excited look: "I should observe Feiyan!"
Chu Li smiled and said: "There is a chance."
The two of them talked and ran for more than ten miles, finally stopping in a forest.
It was already evening. Zhao Ying jumped up to a tree to look at it and shook her head: "Senior Brother Chu, we may have to sleep outdoors tonight."
"I'm not that delicate." Chu Li smiled.
He sat cross-legged on the thick dead leaves, an endless stream of internal energy pouring into his body from the earth, nourishing his body, and his meridians quickly recovered like dry earth encountering sweet rain.
After the meridians recovered a little, he ran the Small Pulse Cleansing Technique to speed up recovery.
Zhao Ying looked at Chu Li's face.
Chu Li smiled and said: "It doesn't really matter to me, just take a rest."
"You all blame me..." Zhao Ying whispered.
Chu Li said: "Junior sister Zhao, you are asking for trouble if you think like this. You can only blame me for not being good at studying."
Zhao Ying shook her head.
Chu Li smiled and said, "Can junior sister Zhao know how to cook?"
"certainly!"
"Then let's make a delicious meal!"
"Okay!" Zhao Ying nodded vigorously: "Only when you are full can you have the strength to heal!"
She turned around to pick some wild vegetables and mushrooms. She was very proficient in mushrooms. Most of the mushrooms in the wild were inedible, and if they were not good enough, they would be poisoned, but most of the mushrooms in the wild were extremely delicious.
She finally made a pot of porridge using dried meat, rice, and picked wild vegetables and mushrooms. She simmered it for two hours and the aroma was fragrant.
After Chu Li drank it, her whole body was filled with steam and she felt unspeakably comfortable. The porridge she cooked was really full of heat, and it tasted particularly delicious when she was so tired.
The moonlight was like water, Chu Li sat quietly and practiced Kung Fu. Zhao Ying sat three steps away from him, listening to his long and deep breathing, and suddenly felt at ease.
She took a peek at Chu Li. Chu Li's face was solemn, and he seemed to be integrated into heaven and earth, exuding inexplicable majesty and momentum.
She closed her eyes hastily, for fear of being discovered by Chu Li. Thinking of the humiliation during the day, she suddenly became energetic and had to practice hard. Under the operation of her internal energy, her meridians were stable and rotated week after day. Normally, she could only run for ten seconds. Weeks, now it has reached twenty weeks!
In this way, it is tantamount to doubling the speed of his own cultivation. How amazing this is!
She also felt that her meridians were stable during the day, but she did not expect it to be so amazing. It was only at this time that the power of the medicine was completely exhausted and the benefits were fully realized.
She glanced at Chu Li again and lay down to sleep.
When she woke up in the morning, she turned around and took a look. She didn't see Chu Li. She jumped up to the tree. The two horses were still there, but there was no sign of Chu Li. She was about to call out when footsteps sounded. Chu Li was carrying two horses. A deer came out of the depths of the woods.
"Senior Brother Chu!" she shouted hurriedly.
Chu Li raised the two deer deer and said with a smile, "What a blessing!"
"Tell me!" Zhao Ying fluttered down to him, rolled her eyes at him, and took the deer: "Is your injury healed?"
Chu Li smiled and said: "No problem!"
Zhao Ying smiled: "That's good, what would you like to eat, senior brother?"
"Junior sister is good at it." Chu Li smiled.
Zhao Ying carries pots and bowls on her saddle, which are small and exquisite. This is a must-have outfit for a guard. It is very risky to eat other people's food while guarding. Even if there is silverware to test for poison, it is not safe. It is best to eat your own food. .
"Look at me!" Zhao Ying smiled.
The two of them had a meal of boiled deer meat, wild mushrooms and deer meat. The aroma of meat and mushrooms mixed together to form a strong and unique aroma that made their mouths water. After a full meal, the two continued on their way.
The road that followed was smooth sailing, and there were no more robbers. In the evening, they came to a valley.
This valley is very secretive. It seems to be just a depression next to a small hill. After entering, you find that there is a cave of its own. The valley is filled with deep woods, lush vegetation, and fertile soil.
Chu Li exclaimed, it was indeed the Duke's Mansion, it was so powerful, yet such a wonderful place could be found here, and it was so inconspicuous.
"Is this here?" Zhao Ying followed into the valley, looked at the dense trees, and said helplessly: "No one has ever come here, right?"
Chu Li nodded: "That's why we kept it secret. Starting today, we can't leave the valley!"
"How long will you stay?"
"A month."
"What can I do in a month?"
"You don't know about growing fairy whiskers, do you?"
Zhao Ying shook her head, never heard of it.
Chu Li explained the fairy beard with a smile, and then started to do it. The three long knives came in handy, cutting trees like tofu. Chu Li cut down a few trees, and together with Zhao Ying, he built two wooden houses, which were simple and sturdy.
There was a pool deep in the valley under the stone wall, as clear as a mirror, where they fetched water.
Zhao Ying is usually responsible for cooking and practicing, while Chu Li reclaims five acres of land to grow fairy beards and night dream flowers.
He found four Tongjincao plants in the valley, combined them with Dilongcao, and practiced sixteen more Tongjindan. Then they divided them in half. Tongjindan was said to be precious to others and could only be found once in a while, but for him it was Words are easy to get.
Zhao Ying was not pretentious and accepted it happily. After taking it, she found that her meridians had been strengthened twice. She could practice her internal strength from night to morning, and her internal strength improved by leaps and bounds. Chu Li's speed was even faster.
In ten days, she has broken 30 acupoints. If she breaks six more acupoints, she will be perfect the day after tomorrow. As far as guards are concerned, if her martial arts does not hinder her, she can break through the seventh level and become a seventh-level guard.
It's a pity that it's a big hurdle to reach perfection from the day after tomorrow to the innate state. Innate life is extremely difficult. Countless people stay here and can't break through. Nine out of ten martial arts practitioners are blocked, just like a carp leaping over a dragon's gate, a crucial leap.
The key to breaking through innateness is cultivation. If you have a solid foundation and good talent, it will be easy to break through. If the foundation is not strong and your talent is poor, you will be stuck for life.
In the early morning of this day, Zhao Ying got up and went out of the house, washed up first, and then began to practice the Feiyan Sword Technique. She recalled Chu Li's instructions yesterday, pondered over them, and revised them little by little. Only two minor changes were made. The power of the Feiyan Sword Technique But it is much enhanced.
Chu Li's eyes were like lightning, and he could always find the weaknesses in his sword skills. In just ten days, Zhao Ying felt that his sword skills had undergone earth-shaking changes and their power was incomparable.
After practicing the sword, she came to Chu Li's hut. Chu Li was practicing the PoWu Sword technique. His movements were slow and leisurely, as if he was making blind gestures, and he couldn't tell how powerful he was.
She shook her head. Zhuo Feiyang did not practice this sword technique like this. He practiced the sword technique as fast as possible. He said that if you want to break the opponent's sword with PoWu Sword Technique, you must have a faster sword. Otherwise, if you see the weakness, the sword is not fast enough and the opportunity will be manipulated. It is fleeting and of no use.
Now she believes in Chu Li even more. Zhuo Feiyang acts like a child and his martial arts knowledge is far behind. There must be a reason why Chu Li practices so slowly. It is definitely not a waste of time by practicing blindly.
"Brother!"
"Oh, take that flower on the table and eat it."
"What flower?"
"Just grow it for fun, it tastes good."
"You're not teasing me, are you?" Zhao Ying stared at him.
She discovered Chu Li's character of teasing others and teasing herself. Sometimes she really couldn't help but laugh, and wanted to lose her temper but couldn't.
Chu Li practiced his sword and said with a smile: "It's a good thing, don't regret it if you don't eat it!"
"If something goes wrong with the food, I will definitely settle the score with you!" Zhao Ying snorted.
She came to the square wooden table and opened the wooden box on the table. Inside was a crystal clear flower, like an ice sculpture, so beautiful that she really didn't want to eat it.
"How to eat?"
"Just pick the petals and eat them. It tastes very good."
Zhao Ying looked at him worriedly, then took off a petal and put it in Cherry's mouth. The cool and sweet feeling flowed directly down her throat and into her heart. She felt indescribably comfortable, so she picked another petal.
When she came to her senses, she had already eaten all the flowers and glanced at Chu Li sheepishly.
Chu Li smiled and said: "This is Night Dream Flower, it is a good thing for you women."
"What's the use?" Zhao Ying asked curiously.
She didn't feel any discomfort, but felt warm and indescribably comfortable.
Chu Li said with a smile: "You can stay young forever."
