Whoosh whoosh!
Chi Chi Chi!
The sound of breaking through the air, so slight that it could not be detected, resounded in the inner courtyard.
Only sounds could be heard in the moonlight, but the source of the sounds could not be seen.
Su Qiang held her chin and stood under the eaves, looking at the young man who was "not heroic at all, but full of danger".
She couldn't see what was making the noise either.
But she knew.
This is the saw line.
This sound is very soft, but very scary. It has a cold feeling that is delicately cut across the neck, waist, abdomen, and arms.
If Li Xuan dances with a sword, then Su Qiang will clap her hands and call him handsome;
If Li Xuan wields a sword, Su Qiang will also feel domineering;
If Li Xuan fires a gun, Su Qiang will also feel that he is unparalleled.
But at this time, Li Xuan was standing motionless in the center of the inner courtyard. If any other maids saw him, they would think that the young master was in a daze.
But Li Xuanren didn't move, but the ten fingers in his sleeves were pulling and pulling with great dexterity. He played with the ten silver wire rings extremely skillfully, constantly changing positions in the small courtyard and cutting the air.
Suddenly the wind picked up, and a small branch that had already been broken fell from the air. Su Qiang watched helplessly as the branch fell to the ground and turned into several pieces.
Those saw wires tore through the branches, like the most elegant butcher cutting meat, and like the bloodiest musician playing the erhu.
Looking at Li Xuan again, in Su Qiang's eyes, he felt a bit like a "killer spider".
A spider builds a web, and if the web covers an area, whoever enters it... dies!
Whoosh whoosh! !
Li Xuan stopped.
Today’s practice is over.
Even if he doesn't transform, he can still control the saw wire and complete the two killing moves recorded in the "Yang Bronze Book": Shifang Chao Chao, and... Spider Web.
This technique is really a killing technique. There is no passion at all when using it. The whole process is almost static, relying only on your fingers.
However, the more Li Xuan practiced, the more he understood the meaning.
Spiders are inherently quiet and like to sit back and wait for rabbits. Why do they need to take the initiative to hunt like lions and tigers?
This is also true. If a person who normally practices this method wants to kill someone while running, it will also be a great threat to themselves. In high-speed movement, these saw wires will kill themselves if they are not careful.
But...this does not include Li Xuan after his transformation.
"Yang Bronze Book" does not record the killing move during high-speed movement, but Li Xuan named his move based on the scene when he transformed - Giant Spirit Slash.
The reason for this name is that at high speed, the saw wire is like a butcher's knife of more than four feet.
Once it passes by, it's like the giant spirit god grabbing a knife of more than four feet and swiping it against the ground. Isn't it the giant spirit slaying?
This can be considered very vivid.
After practicing the technique for a while, Li Xuan felt it.
He found that the last step really couldn't be obtained through practice.
In "Yang Bronze Book", Chang Sun Yu once wrote that "fighting is the only step to perfection." This perfection refers to a kind of complete harmony, a kind of "no move wins everything" that transcends fixed formulas and killing moves. trick".
If you want to be "without moves", you must first practice "with moves" to the extreme, and this step requires "actual combat".
However, this kind of "actual combat" does not necessarily mean "abusing vegetables".
"Abusing food" will not improve you, but will make you slack off.
Changsun Prison wrote his own thoughts on it, including one sentence: Wine can be bought on credit, but swords are not drawn lightly.
Wine can be bought on credit, and as soon as the credit is paid back, there will be a favor.
The sword cannot be drawn lightly. If it is drawn lightly, it will be easily targeted by others, and it will also be detrimental to one's own practice.
The weaknesses of the saw wire are actually very obvious:
First, the activation speed is slow. Your saw wire needs to come and go again and again to kill people, and by this time, someone else's gun and knife have already pierced your heart.
The second is that the retraction speed is slow. After you kill someone, you have to retract the ten lines. No matter how fast you move, it is still not as good as someone else running away with a knife.
Li Xuan thought for a while, then turned around and took Su Qiang to sleep.
Collapse, in the dark...
After everything calmed down, Li Xuan couldn't help but think of the changes in Wei Yao.
He warned the old woman half hard and half softly, first telling her that Yaohua should be fine, and might even be a blessing in disguise; secondly, he told her not to tell anyone about Wei Yao's situation.
The old lady agreed again and again.
Li Xuan was prepared to observe for a while.
The reason why he didn't take her back to his small courtyard was because his courtyard was too conspicuous, and it would be bad if she came back.
...
...
The next day, New Year.
The Li family was lively, and the three major families in Xiongshan County also visited each other.
The eldest lady seemed to have agreed upon a daughter-in-law with Mr. Li. When the girl who married into the Tian family arrived, she took her hand and went to the inner courtyard to eat preserves, drink fragrant tea and talk.
During this period, she asked Li Xuan to come and call "little aunt", then asked him to leave, and then continued to drink and chat with Mrs. Tian's family in detail.
That night, after the Li family calmed down again, the eldest lady called Li Xuan over and said to him: "Your father and I have chosen a good and capable girl for you, Tian Yuan, the second young lady of the Tian family."
An image of a little bean sprout appeared in Li Xuan's mind. He was from Xiongshan County, so he naturally recognized Tian Yuan, but the impression of Tian Yuan in his mind was still that of a girl from a few years ago, and he had not seen her in recent years.
Seeing her son in a daze, the eldest lady smiled and said, "Tian Yuan is a good girl. She is not only beautiful, but also very capable.
Now as old as you, he has taken over half of the Tianjia Chamber of Commerce. He manages it in an orderly manner and everyone admires it. "
Li Xuan nodded.
The eldest lady continued: "Your father and I have thought about it for a long time, and after much deliberation, we feel that this Miss Tian is the most suitable for you.
Your temperament, at best, is free and uninhibited, affectionate and righteous, but at worst, you are lazy, dandy, and driven by emotions. "
Li Xuan sighed in his heart, she is really his own mother...
The eldest lady said: "So, you need a sensible girl to take care of you.
According to the conditions of our Li family, we can actually find a larger force to marry you, but such a woman may not take care of you, and it is easy to cause trouble.
But Tian Yuan doesn't have such a problem. Although she is the second young lady of the Tian family, her mother has left long ago. If she marries into my Li family, then she is really married. With her as a good wife, you should be able to live. Very happy. "
Li Xuandao: "Is there a portrait?"
The eldest lady said: "Your aunt will come back tomorrow on the second day of the new year. If the Tian family agrees, she will bring the portrait. And your portrait mother has already been given to your aunt."
Li Xuan thought about it, it was really good to have such a virtuous wife. She was similar to the marriage partner he had in mind. She was worthy of being a father and mother... She just knew what kind of girl he needed.
So, he nodded and said, "But it's up to my parents to make the decision."
The eldest lady nodded with a smile and said, "It's cold, go and rest early."
Then he suddenly said: "I have been short of a considerate maid recently. Xiaoxuan, are you willing to lend me the rose for a few days? After a while, my mother will find a suitable maid, and then I will return it to you."
Li Xuan was stunned and immediately understood what his mother meant.
It's time to talk about marriage, so naturally you have to restrain yourself, otherwise what will the girl think when she finds out that he, the eldest young master of the Li family, hugs his maid every day?
Li Xuandao: "Mom, I promised Qiangwei that I would give her a status."
The eldest lady smiled and said, "Don't you feel at ease around your mother?"
"Don't worry, don't worry." Li Xuandao, "Let her come to mother's yard tomorrow."
...
...
That night, Li Xuan didn't hide anything from Su Qiang and told her the whole story.
To his surprise, Su Qiang was very sensible and did not look like she was "short-sighted and would cry when she saw she was about to be transferred".
She just repeatedly warned, "Don't expose the "Yang Bronze Book" and don't let anyone see it."
Li Xuan said, "I will pay attention to it," and then asked curiously: "The young master is a martial arts wizard, aren't you happy?"
Su Qiang hesitated and said: "There are too many enemies in Changsun Prison. If this technique is born in Xiongshan County, it will definitely spread, and many enemies will come here.
The government may even pressure from top to bottom and assign the task of exploring the "Yang Bronze Book" to Shanxian Lieutenant. "
Li Xuan knew the importance of it, so he nodded.
A little farewell is better than a wedding.
This night, New Year's Eve, the two of them were reluctant to leave each other, you and me.
When it subsided, Su Qiang said again: "The Nu family heard that Lieutenant Shan County was tricked by the flower-picking thief today, but I don't know whether it is true or not."
Li Xuandao: "Tell me about it."
Su Qiang said: "Shan County Lieutenant has set up a bureau, using beautiful women as bait to catch the flower-picking thief.
But as a result...two flower-picking thieves appeared.
The arrested flower-picking thief was just a gangster in the county who was given money to tease him. This man attracted the elite arranged by Shan County Lieutenant.
But the real flower-picking robber attacked a house in the east of the city, killed the men of that house, and then... humiliated the woman to death. "
Li Xuan frowned and said, "How can this beast be so cunning? My uncle was tricked by him."
Su Qiang sighed softly: "It's not..."
She thought for a while and then suddenly said: "What the Nu family is most worried about is...whether the person who killed Changsun Yu will be connected with this flower-picking thief."
Li Xuan remained silent, but in fact... he had already thought of the worry Su Qiang mentioned.
