Xia Ziyan suddenly launched a challenge, which surprised Wei Xiaolong.
However, after thinking about it for a while, I found that it makes sense. Sometimes in life, you can't help yourself. Not everything is right or wrong. My sister was injured. No matter whether it was right or wrong, the elder brother always has to do it. Stand up and make a statement.
This is also a matter of face.
Xia Ziyan is sixteen years old, one year older than Wei Xiaolong, and his cultivation is one level higher than him. He is currently at the ninth level of Qi refining stage.
Those with high cultivation level challenge those with low cultivation level, and those with low cultivation level can choose to refuse.
According to Wei Xiaolong's past personality, he must have agreed immediately without thinking, otherwise he wouldn't have gained the reputation of "Crazy Wei".
Not to mention others challenging him, he often even takes the initiative to challenge people with higher cultivation than him, and others don't even have the chance to refuse.
However, at this moment, he did not agree immediately, which also surprised those who were watching the excitement. Someone said loudly:
"Crazy Wei, it's not your character to hesitate!"
"Yeah, haven't you always liked playing in the ring?"
"Hey, Crazy Wei is not scared this time, is he?"
"Xia Ziyan is only one level higher than you, what are you afraid of?"
…
It's not too big a deal to watch the excitement. Everyone hopes that someone can compete in the ring every day. Anyway, it's not you who gets hurt.
Wei Xiaolong didn't pay attention to what others said. Although he was impulsive and aggressive, he was not a fool. If he immediately started a fight with others after a few words of encouragement, wouldn't he be treated like a monkey?
Now that he has relatives by his side, he is no longer alone, so he has to be more thoughtful when doing things. After all, both sisters now need to take care of themselves. If he is injured or they are bullied, who will protect them?
Countless battle experiences made him understand that unprepared battles and worried battles will often affect his own state. As long as it is not an emergency, it is best to know yourself and the enemy before starting a battle, that way you will be more confident.
After pondering for a long time, Wei Xiaolong replied slowly:
"Accept the challenge... Of course there is no problem. However, your sister is injured and my sister is also injured, so I won't accept it immediately. I want to take care of my sister and guide them in their training. I don't want to compete in the ring with others during this time."
Xia Ziyan asked in an indifferent tone: "Then when do you hope to have a fight?"
Wei Xiaolong thought for a while and replied: "One month. Today, one month from now, I can fight with you!"
Xia Ziyan nodded and said, "Then it's a deal!"
Wei Xiaolong replied: "It's a deal."
At this time, Wei Xiaoxue finally regained her composure, and the three of them walked slowly down to the ring.
When they came to the square, someone shouted to Xiao Yinyue:
"Senior Sister Xiao, well done, we all support you!"
Someone started, and others echoed:
"As expected of the chief disciple, congratulations to Senior Sister Xiao for winning the first battle!"
"Senior Sister Xiao, don't be merciful to people like that in the future, you have to beat them hard!"
"Senior Sister Xiao, can you teach us the Swift Wind Stick Technique?"
"Yes, yes, I want to learn too!"
…
There were more people, and everyone was talking here and there. Generally speaking, they all expressed their support for Xiao Yinyue.
Xiao Yinyue waved her hand and said with a faint smile:
"Thank you for your support and understanding. As for the Swift Wind Stick Technique, I have just started practicing it and am not very proficient. I will definitely communicate with you when I have time."
The three of them went to the sect's medical center first to treat Wei Xiaoxue's injuries.
Fortunately, the injury suffered this time was only a skin injury and did not damage the bones. After applying medicine and briefly bandaging, the three of them avoided everyone and came to the secret cave in the valley.
As soon as Wei Xiaoxue entered the cave, she immediately climbed onto the stone bed, lay down on her side, and said weakly:
"I'm so tired today, I'll take a nap first!"
Xiao Yinyue nodded and said: "Well, you are a wounded person, so you should rest more, so just sleep peacefully!"
Wei Xiaolong walked out and said:
"Then you just rest here, and I'll go find some delicious food and come back to replenish it for you."
One brother and sister were out and the other was sleeping. Xiao Yinyue had nothing to do, so she took out the booklet of Gale Wind Stick Technique and sat at the table, intending to take a good look at the text on it.
Although they came here every day these days, almost all their energy was used to practice the Swift Wind Stick Technique, so they did not calm down to read the text in the booklet. Most of the time, Wei Xiaolong explained it, and they just listened carefully.
Now that the battle is over, Xiao Yinyue wants to read the theory of the technique carefully and combine it with today's battle, hoping to draw new insights from it and improve her fighting level.
This is Xiao Yin's first real combat experience at such a young age. This experience is completely different from the previous sparring.
Whether you are sparring with Wei Xiaolong or Wei Xiaoxue, it is impossible to go all out. The main purpose is just to be familiar with the moves and know how to change the moves flexibly. When fighting, try to avoid vital points and hold back your strength.
Actual combat is different. For the enemy, your key point is exactly the position the opponent wants to attack the most.
Although today's battle was childish, Xiao Yinyue was in danger and was almost disfigured.
Until this moment, she still had lingering fears. When the black whip was whipped towards her face, Xiao Yinyue experienced the fear and despair for the first time.
The enemy will not hold back in the battle, they are all eager to kill you, and everyone has only one life. Once lost, it cannot be regained.
If you want to live longer, strength is the key to survival.
Xiao Yinyue slowly gathered her mind and gradually immersed herself in a meditative state. While reading the words and moves in the booklet, she recalled today's battle.
During the review, Xiao Yinyue found that many of the methods of coping were not good enough during the battle. If they were to fight again now, she believed she would have a better solution.
There are a total of thirty-six moves in the Swift Wind Stick Technique, each with six moves. There are also many changes. However, because I am not familiar with it, the move transitions during the battle are not smooth, and many of the ways to resolve it are not the best.
While Xiao Yinyue was thinking back, she was subconsciously making gestures with her hands, imagining the scene of the battle in her mind.
She even thought about how she would fight if she was using a long whip.
I was just immersed in a state of thinking, as if I had forgotten the passage of time.
"Yue'er, what are you thinking about? You look so absorbed."
It wasn't until she heard Wei Xiaolong's voice that Xiao Yinyue came back to her senses. She replied with a hint of regret:
"I'm thinking about today's fight and I realize there should have been a better way to handle it."
Wei Xiaolong praised: "Oh, that's good. You are actually thinking about today's arena. This is called the accumulation of combat experience."
Xiao Yinyue said with some disappointment: "When I practiced with you, I felt that I was already very proficient. I didn't expect that my state was completely different when I was actually fighting, so I couldn't perform to the same level as during sparring."
In front of Wei Xiaolong, she didn't hide her emotions at all and said whatever she thought.
Wei Xiaolong encouraged: "To be honest, your performance today is pretty good. We almost follow the normal rhythm in sparring, but the real battle is definitely different. You haven't seen those moves before. You can only change your moves according to circumstances. If you feel that you are not performing at your normal level, why shouldn't your opponent be the same?"
Xiao Yinyue thought for a while, and it seemed that this was also the case, and her mood became better, so she asked:
"Brother Xiaolong, who is better between the Swift Wind Stick Technique and the Soul Locking Whip Technique?"
Wei Xiaolong thought for a while and replied:
"These two martial arts should be said to be relatively good among quick martial arts. If two people with the same level of cultivation are fighting, the Soul Locking Whip Technique should have a slight advantage, but in the long run, the Gale Wind Staff Technique has more room for development. Practicing this set of martial arts well will be very helpful and a good foundation for you to learn other martial arts in the future."
After saying that, Wei Xiaolong smiled and said:
"Okay, it's getting late. I shot a pheasant and caught two fish. I'll cook for you first. After dinner, it's time to go back to the sect."
As he spoke, he picked up the cooking utensils and walked outside the stone house. It was not easy to make a fire inside, so he had to go to a flat ground outside the stone cave to do it.
After he went out, Xiao Yinyue walked to the bookshelf, intending to find a book to read.
This stone bookshelf has a total of five floors, and it is placed against a stone wall. There are not many books on each floor. About one-fifth of the seats are still empty, and the books on it are not classified at all. It's messy and haphazardly placed.
For Xiao Yinyue, who loves reading, it always feels uncomfortable to read. Books should be placed in categories to make them easier to find and pleasing to the eye.
I had been too busy the past few days to take care of it, but now that I had some free time, Xiao Yinyue took matters into her own hands to organize it.
While sorting through it, she found that the books on the bookshelf were quite miscellaneous, including theories on cultivation, some common martial arts, classic collections of Wanling Continent, collections of poems, music scores, common healing and medical techniques, calligraphy and painting. Analysis, there are books on raising spiritual animals and planting flowers and plants, and even story books and so on.
I don’t know who the previous owner of this place was, but he seems to like reading and has a wide range of hobbies!
A person who likes to read books so much would not keep the books in such a mess. It seems that the new owner has messed them up. Wei Xiaolong is not a person who likes to read books. He probably took it out and flipped through it out of curiosity. If you're not interested, just stuff it on the bookshelf and forget about it.
Xiao Yinyue patiently classified them into categories while casually flipping through the book in her hand.
After a while, she actually saw a piece of paper with a hand-drawn pattern on it in a book called "Moji Jianshu". She opened it curiously and felt that it seemed familiar.
After taking a closer look at the annotation, I realized that isn't this pattern the bookshelf in front of me? No wonder it feels familiar.
However, there is a difference between the pattern and the real thing after all. It is not a picture, but a design drawing, which is composed of many complex lines. Xiao Yinyue looked at the drawing in her hand, and then looked at the stone bookshelf in front of her, for a long time Finally, he couldn't help but said to himself in surprise:
"Does this bookshelf have a mechanism?"
