In the quiet night, on the mountain behind Longji, Long Tao ended his conversation with the mysterious old man and was about to get up and leave.
"Since Jinji Fengjian is still open, you have to work hard." The old man still covered his face with a bamboo hat and said angrily.
"Yes." Long Tao looked at the outline of the mountains in the distance and the starlight coming from the gaps between the mountains.
"What's wrong?" The old man asked casually when he saw that he was hesitant to leave.
Long Tao pondered and shook his head: "No...it's okay."
"Why hide it?" The old man saw that he seemed to have something to say, so he calmly enlightened.
"No..." Long Tao's brows furrowed slightly, as if he had something heavy on his mind.
"Say it." The old man persuaded him with a smile, knowing that he would not leave just like that.
Long Tao hesitated for a moment, then slowly turned around:
"It's like this..." He lowered his head cautiously, "These past few days, I have mastered the 'Mirage Returning to the Cloud'."
"That's good." The old man smiled with his eyes narrowed.
"No..." Long Tao quickly shook his head, "I'm not sure how far I've reached in this set of exercises. The leader has been busy these days, and I don't want to disturb him..."
"However, I still want to know what my level is..." Long Tao raised his head and said seriously, "In this way, I can have the confidence before participating in the competition, and I can safely use the most glorious weapon of this set of dragon halberds. Don’t embarrass the sect with your skills.”
"Oh..." The old man was thoughtful and nodded in approval.
"So, I would like to trouble you." Long Tao cast his expectant eyes on the old man, "Can you be my audience and help me see what are the flaws in this set of exercises?"
"This..." The old man looked at him with such hopeful eyes, his sunken eyes looked a little embarrassed, "However, I am not a Dragon Halberd person, so my understanding of this set of techniques..."
"It doesn't matter." Long Tao took another step forward and prayed earnestly, "As the saying goes, the beholder is the judge. And since your martial arts theory is so profound, you must be able to see some tricks. Just give me a brief look."
The old man looked at him and felt warm inside.
After a long time, he nodded and agreed slowly: "Then, okay."
Long Tao finally won the old man's agreement. He nodded with great joy, immediately picked up his dragon-headed halberd, walked to the open space outside the pavilion, and got into position.
The moonlight gradually disappeared, and the light in the corner of the pavilion gradually dispersed. At the moment when the moon was obscured by dark clouds, Long Tao followed what he learned from the exercises and danced with the spear!
Suddenly, a sharp force swept the ground, and soil and grass clippings were swept into the air. Long Tao's martial arts performance was as good as a startling dragon, his figure was like lightning, whistling like wind, and his figure had already shot out powerful pressure in mid-air.
Each move is exactly as described in the diagram. Long Tao's torso moves back and forth, turning over and over like a long dragon piercing the clouds, smoothly and smoothly. The surrounding bamboos and trees were also shaken by Long Tao's moves, and green leaves fell everywhere.
The old man watched Long Tao's practice attentively and nodded with great pleasure.
Mirage Dragon Returning to the Clouds, as its name suggests, is the most powerful move among the dragon halberds. It is like a divine dragon swimming in the clouds, emphasizing that the move is self-contained and powerful. The degree of the move varies from person to person, and the better the enlightenment, the more powerful it will be.
The old man watched Long Tao swing his halberd with great style. It’s not easy to become so proficient in just a few days.
The last move of Mirage Guiyun can be said to be the most difficult and thrilling of the entire move. It requires the warrior to quickly mobilize the sea of energy from the Dantian and attach it to the halberd in his hand. At the same time, the body flipped in mid-air and dived downwards like a dragon breaking the clouds.
"Drink!" Long Tao has already practiced this move. According to the instructions in the map, he quickly mobilizes his energy and jumps into the air at the same time.
There was a little sweat on the old man's palms. He watched Long Tao's movements closely, expecting him to complete the technique perfectly.
Suddenly, something unexpected happened! In a flash of lightning, Long Tao leaped into the air, his face suddenly distorted, and he fell down in pain!
The falling figure, accompanied by Long Tao's screaming voice, crashed into the old man's senses at the same time!
"not good!"
When the old man saw this, he didn't have time to think. He immediately jumped up from the steps, flipped his hands, changed into the posture of holding a bowl and pushing a clock, quickly caught Long Tao, and relieved his chaotic and overflowing vitality. But this move obviously caused a lot of damage to the old man. While catching Long Tao, his heart surged and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
But he didn't bother to think about himself. Seeing that Long Tao was still in great pain, he immediately carried him back to the pavilion, placed him on the stone table, and helped him heal his injuries through the soothing acupoints.
Just now, Long Tao was so anxious that his internal energy was agitated, and he accidentally deviated from the meridians when he used it abruptly, causing the vitality to flow to the limbs and meridians. At this time, he still felt that his body was extremely hot and the torture was unbearable. Only the sound of the quiet spring water flowing by the pavilion could make him feel slightly comfortable.
The old man massaged him back and forth, and his old face was quietly soaked with sweat.
After a long time, Long Tao gradually regained his hazy consciousness and was freed from the pain.
He slowly opened his eyes, and the dark night came, making him still a little dizzy. But soon he could clearly distinguish the outline of the person standing next to him, as well as the faint moonlight hanging in the corner of the pavilion.
The old man stood by his side quietly, and when he saw that he had woken up, he leaned forward with concern.
Long Tao rubbed his eyes, and his vision became much clearer. However, when he finally looked up and saw clearly the appearance of the person hiding under the bamboo hat, he suddenly felt as if he had been scalded by boiling water and was shocked.
