It was an autumn day five years ago.
The Wuxiang Sect, which had been living peacefully in the green pine forest of Wudang for more than ten years, was suddenly destroyed. Even with the help of the Daoyi Alliance, it was still difficult to change the fact that the sect was destroyed. Only a few three people survived.
At that time, Jiang Yichen, who was new to the world, was full of chivalry and enthusiasm for the ancient road. He first rescued Yuan Kui's master and apprentice in front of Sanfeng Tower, and then he drew his sword to help without hesitation at the fork in the road. He even broke into Danxia Villa at night with Zhang San and Situ Zhong, almost only With the strength of three people, the entire bandit den was washed away with blood.
Although the three of them were injured or disabled in the battle of Danxia, they paid a heavy price, but the Wuxiang Sect had to take revenge, which can also be regarded as the end of the chance encounter in the world.
Unexpectedly, as Zhang San, Situ Zhong, and Shi Cheng were inexplicably taken away by the Xijiang County government office, Hongque, Xunbao and others who were following behind urgently called for help. The Daoyi Alliance and Taiji Village people who rushed to rescue were not able to enter Xijiang County. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yichen was also involved in a deeper and muddier whirlpool of rivers and lakes.
At that time, the Jiuzhou Sihai League, the main force of Jianghu righteousness, was designed to instigate internal fighting in Pinghai County, while strange things happened one after another around Xijiang County both inside and outside.
Suffering from the cold counterattack of "Frost and Snow Qi", Jiang Yichen was a step late, but he was lucky enough to escape.
Later, they met several people from Buji Island who gathered in Xijiang County to trace the origin of the foreign barbarian troubles in Zhongzhou, the Greedy Wolf Gang who was forced to use violence in recent times, and a caravan of drunken beauties who came to Xijiang County to purchase drinks. The Emei female disciple who passed through Wudang, Yuluobe Hongye who came here under the entrustment of the old man, as well as the Jiuzhou Alliance representative Mo Gong Leng Mei, the Four Seas Alliance representative Feng Mingxuan Huqing and other parties represented respectively. After several twists and turns, the culprit behind the scenes was discovered - the Tushita Gang.
The Tushita Gang has been secretly cultivating the God-given Spider for a long time, but it just happened to coincide with the chaos in the world, and because the leader of the gang, Smiling Maitreya, went awry while practicing the two systems of water and fire, and was in urgent need of a high-quality wood system. After the internal strength was relieved and reconciled, he let go of his hands and feet and killed and looted wantonly.
At that time, although the righteousness of the world was in chaos, its strength still existed, and the evil demon sect did not dare to be careless, resulting in a large number of people being restrained.
Smiling Maitreya hurried back to the mountain gate and took away Chang Kun, the Great Protector of the Gang. As a result, the Tushita Gang's lair was empty. Although Jiang Yichen and others also had limited manpower, the combined strength of all parties was definitely not that of Ji Qianlin. If one person can get it done, the Tushita Gang's plan will eventually come to nothing.
What happened in Xijiang County in the autumn five years ago cannot be described in a few words. However, Leng Mei and Jiang Yichen were both witnesses of the events at that time. Even though they had not experienced many things together, they could not explain them in words.
Therefore, when Jiang Yichen said whether he wanted to abandon his existing skills and study the "Shadowless Sitting and Forgetting Mind Method", Leng Mei was not too surprised. It is not difficult to see from Jiang Yichen's risk of life and death in breaking into the Withered Vine Cave. He has either a close relationship with the Wuxiang Sect or is a life-and-death friend. The only survivor of the Wuxiang Sect has become a cripple who cannot speak or move. So it is natural to pass on the gang's skills to trusted people so that the gang's inheritance can continue. Things.
The answer Leng Mei gave was very direct and concise: If you are not 90% sure, it is best not to practice.
In Leng Mei's opinion, Jiang Yichen did not have enough talent in the practice of internal skills, and even had a congenital deficiency in his Dantian.
Ordinary people can use the large amount of internal energy that escapes during dispersal exercises to be used for new internal exercises. If they understand the new exercises thoroughly, they may be able to directly complete the lower levels and lay a solid foundation. Those with extraordinary talents may be able to directly touch the upper realms. , to minimize the impact of power loss during exercise.
However, Jiang Yichen has been self-study and self-understood for a long time, and his understanding is extremely limited. If he takes away a lower skill that he has cultivated to perfection, he can only break through to the first or second level with the middle skill. It can be said that the gains are hard to compensate for the losses, and once Jiang Yichen is unable to enter the country in the next few days, the two of them will only fall into an even more dangerous situation.
After weighing it several times, Jiang Yichen had to admit that Leng Mei's suggestion was more reasonable, and gave up the idea of taking the risk.
How to break through the current predicament without taking risks?
When there is no other way, the only way is the best way.
When Jiang Yichen had no choice, he could only choose to practice hard.
Broken bones can leave the deepest mark and are also the best training.
The smell of blood can give people a great mental impact.
Jiang Yichen can no longer see and has no outstanding talent, so he can only use the stupidest methods and the hardest training to let his body form the simplest muscle memory, and at the same time, let his mind be able to think at any time and in the shortest possible time. , form as concrete a picture as possible in your mind to make the most accurate judgment on the situation and execute the most effective action.
So these days, although there are no more fractures on his body, there are more and more wounds, so many that he gradually feels numb, and his improvement is really limited.
Jiang Yichen is very aware and familiar with this feeling of numbness. If the same thing is repeated over and over again, he will naturally feel numb and even bored. However, the current situation is the same as before and there is no room for him to get bored. He must get through this boring period and get rid of it as soon as possible. Only by eliminating the numbness and boredom in the heart can the previous persistence not be in vain and reap the results it deserves.
With this thought, the depression in Jiang Yichen's heart finally cleared up a lot.
His feet, which were originally warm, were gradually turning cold, and the sound of Leng Mei's footsteps was getting further and further away. He took a long breath, stepped forward and slowly caught up.
…
…
At nightfall.
The wooden house is not big, and soon the smell of meat and food lingers in it.
It's dinner time.
Since they fell into the valley, Leng Mei has naturally taken care of their three meals a day.
Soon after he could use his limbs flexibly, Jiang Yichen also tried to help share some "housework". However, he still had many inconveniences when facing these detailed tasks. In addition to adding chaos, he still added chaos. In the end, he could only Obediently obey Leng Mei's assignment - do the dishwashing work.
After all, the sizes of pots and pans are always fixed, and whether they are clean or not can be easily judged by the feel. If they are not clean after one wash, wash them twice.
Dinner consists of two dishes, one meat and one soup.
Two vegetarian and two meat dishes.
For two people, this dinner is quite sumptuous.
These days, there are sometimes too many vegetarian dishes and sometimes too few, but two meat dishes are never missing.
Whether it is Jiang Yichen's physical recovery or high-intensity training, he must not neglect his diet.
Leng Mei has always been very good at this, or considerate.
Of course, Leng Mei didn't treat herself badly just by feeding Jiang Yichen. After all, she only did a lot more work than Jiang Yichen every day. Only when she was full could she have the strength to work.
As time goes by, people's hearts are revealed.
Once we get along for a longer time, communication will inevitably increase, each other's ideas will be known to each other more, and each other will be able to understand each other more deeply.
Although the two of them still call each other "Mr. Jiang" and "Miss Leng", their words have lost a lot of modesty. They no longer seem distant and polite, and have become a little more intimate and natural.
Most of the time, the two simply use the words "you" and "I" to each other.
Whether they are the most irreconcilable enemies or the most intimate lovers, these two words can easily shorten the distance between each other.
Just like now, the two of them were sitting face to face on both sides of the square table, their knees almost touching their knees, each picking food into their mouths.
During these days, they often discuss the training plan and content for the next half day or the next day during meal time. Leng Mei will use her past training experience to make changes based on the existing conditions and Jiang Yichen's actual needs, and communicate with Jiang Yichen in advance. Explain the key points, techniques and purpose of training.
Therefore, Leng Mei starts the conversation most of the time during meals, and tonight is no exception.
"Darkroom training only requires that the opponent be eliminated in the shortest possible time. The environment in the confined space is single, and the requirement to defeat the enemy with one strike is single. But in the same place, you can't see it, and I can't see it. The conditions for both the enemy and us are equal, so it is natural to be simple. We don't have the possibility to create a closed space. There are already many variables in it. The enemy can see it but you can't, which adds more variables. Under these conditions, it is unrealistic to demand a single blow to defeat the enemy. You can only do your best to achieve a quick victory, which is not easy for anyone to do. If the enemy comes one day late, you will have one more day to do better."
A few days ago, also at dinner, Leng Mei had said something similar to Jiang Yichen, but at that time she was talking about the training content, but today there was only half a sentence added.
That short sentence sounded like a statement of facts, but it was not an encouragement to Jiang Yichen.
It was obvious that the two of them rarely encouraged each other, so Leng Mei's encouragement came a bit unexpectedly, while Jiang Yichen was caught off guard. He just put his chopsticks on the plate and didn't move, but he didn't know how to talk to her.
Leng Mei didn't seem to pay much attention to Jiang Yichen's performance. She picked up a vegetable from the same dish and put it into a bowl. After slowly chewing it into her throat, her eyelashes trembled before continuing: "Now these trainings are all for the ultimate goal." Be prepared for bad situations. The people who come may not be that strong or that many. With your method, you don’t necessarily have to fight with the opponent head-on with a sword, fight hand-to-hand, and grab the opponent’s hand. I don’t think anyone can. You held it in your hands for too long.”
Knock knock.
Jiang Yichen tapped his chopsticks on the dish, as if to knock off the oil stains that were invisible to the naked eye, so as to hide his embarrassment.
He heard what Leng Mei meant, and also heard that Leng Mei was still comforting and encouraging him, so he could only smile slightly to show that his mood was not very bad.
"Many people want to force me to spit out the palm moves of "Tianmao's Plum-Breaking Hand". Have you never had this idea?"
In order not to let Leng Mei worry about her situation, Jiang Yichen finally found a topic to talk about.
After hearing this, Leng Mei understood Jiang Yichen's intention and joked: "If you are interested, can you teach me?"
Jiang Yichen also smiled and replied: "If you are willing to learn, I will teach you."
Leng Mei was stunned. She didn't expect Jiang Yichen to answer so unthinkingly, but she had no intention of delving into the reason and said: "Unfortunately, I'm not interested. Any martial arts skills are not very attractive to me. If I don't have to, I will I don’t want to learn anything.”
The smile on Jiang Yichen's face gradually faded. These days, he and Leng Mei would share their pasts more or less. His past stories were always more vivid and lively than Leng Mei's, while Leng Mei mostly talked about her childhood. As for the training experience, when she grew up, she had already started to carry out killer missions. For Leng Mei, these were certainly not what she wanted.
Realizing that he had made a mistake, Jiang Yichen immediately thought of changing the topic, but Leng Mei had already said, "The Palace Master was very interested in you and your Heavenly Sorrow Plum-breaking Hand back then."
