Transcending into a divine sculpture

Zhou Mufei nodded in agreement: "But I don't know what he is hiding from you, and why he is hiding it from you."

Since he even generously admitted that he was the mastermind of the massacre of Dugu's family, what could be more secretive than this?

Dugu Liuyun was silent for a moment, then said: "I understand Master, no one can force him to say what he doesn't want to say. However, there is a situation, maybe he will say it."

Zhou Mufei looked at him with questioning eyes.

Dugu Liuyun said: "Since Master has asked me to fight him five years later, if I can defeat him five years later, maybe he will tell me the secrets of that year."

Zhou Mufei thought for a while, and felt that this was not unreasonable, so he said: "Since this is the case, why don't we find a secluded place to live in seclusion, and you can calm down and concentrate on practicing swordsmanship. I believe that your swordsmanship will definitely be great in five years. If you progress, you may be able to surpass your master."

Dugu Liuyun nodded, although the master is the peerless swordsman with the best swordsmanship in the world today, it is difficult to beat him, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he must try.

So Dugu Liuyun took Zhou Mufei down the mountain, came to the inn where he was temporarily staying, went back to the room to take out his luggage, then Dugu Liuyun bought another horse in the town, took a ride with Zhou Mufei, and embarked on the journey again.

Unlike the last time he went down the mountain, this time he had no destination at all, and he didn't know where he should go.

Zhou Mufei followed him aimlessly for several days, and found that he had reached the border of Hubei.

At that time, the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty were fighting for years, and the current situation was turbulent, and the people could not live and work in peace and contentment. Looking at the whole Song Dynasty, it was a scene of chaos, while Hunan and Hubei were still far away from the border, but they still looked peaceful and peaceful.

The two arrived in Xiangyang City this day, Dugu Liuyun and Zhou Mufei were a little tired after walking for a few days, so they found a random inn in the city to stay.

A few days later, both of them fell in love with this ancient city with simple folk customs, and there was not much money left (this is the most important reason), so they decided to find an inaccessible barren hill near Xiangyang to live in seclusion for the convenience of Dugu. Liuyun practiced swords, and at the same time, the two would not become isolated savages because they were too far away from the world.

On the day this decision was made, Dugu Liuyun and Zhou Mufei started to act. The two wandered around the suburbs of Xiangyang for a few days, and finally chose a deep mountain in the west of the city.

The two found a cave with a small entrance but a spacious interior on the mountainside, and then arranged it together, making a whole set of log furniture, and then moved into the cave.

After that, Dugu Liuyun began to ponder the sword skills he practiced every day, and tried to make overall improvements, and even created another set of more brilliant sword skills.

He knew very well in his heart that all his sword skills were taught by his master. His master was extremely talented in the way of swordsmanship, and he had been immersed in these sword skills for decades. It would be a fool's dream for him to use the sword skills he taught to defeat him.

Therefore, the only way is to create a set of more advanced swordsmanship. It is best to create a set of swordsmanship that can completely restrain him against the master's swordsmanship.

Dugu Liuyun understood this fact, so he began to explore in this direction.

However, after more than ten days, he finally understood how difficult this task was.

Ji Lingxuan has learned a lot and is proficient in many schools of swordsmanship. Even Dugu Liuyun doesn't know what swordsmanship he is best at.

And at Ji Lingxuan's level, there is almost no need to stick to swordsmanship, any ordinary moves can be turned into magic by him.

Wanting to study the flaws in his swordsmanship, and formulate a set of swordsmanship that can completely restrain him based on those flaws is simply impossible. Dugu Liuyun racked his brains, with several gray hairs growing out, but he always Can't think of a feasible solution.

So he had no choice but to give up this idea for the time being, and settled for the next best thing, trying to create his own set of exquisite swordsmanship without any flaws.However, it didn't take long for this method to be implemented, and he realized how naive and absurd his previous thoughts were.

——The sword skills taught by Ji Lingxuan are all combined with the essence of hundreds of years of painstaking efforts of at least several generations of sword masters. Naturally, every move and style is exquisite, profound and close to perfection. It is extremely difficult to create sword moves that are more subtle and powerful than those sword techniques.

Dugu Liuyun studied many sword moves with all his heart, but every time he created a move, he would find that this move had flaws here or there, and it was far from the sword moves taught by his master. It might be okay to deal with ordinary masters, and If Ji Lingxuan faced each other, he would definitely be defeated.

After realizing this fact, he immediately fell into deep depression and melancholy.

Zhou Mufei has been watching him worrying about creating his own swordsmanship all this time, forgetting to eat and sleep to the point of going crazy, and he can't help worrying secretly for him.Now seeing his sad face again, he knew that he was frustrated in the process of creating his own sword moves, so he began to wonder if there was anything he could do better.

Zhou Mufei still liked to read martial arts novels when he was in college, but he was a diehard fan of Gu Long, and he didn’t read much of Jin Yong’s novels. He represented several cheating martial arts TV series, so for Dugu Qiubai, Zhou Mufei only remembered that he created a very good set of "Dugu Nine Swords", which was later passed on to Feng Qingyang, who was then passed on to Linghu Chong , and then Linghu Chong beat Wanli Lonely Tian Boguang to the ground with only a last-ditch move of the broken knife.But at what age did Dugu Qiubai create it, and what is the essence of that set of sword techniques, he has no idea.

Zhou Mufei tried his best to recall now, but only vaguely remembered that Feng Qingyang seemed to have said to Linghu Chong: Dugu Nine Swords, there is no advance but no retreat, there is attack but no defense. Such mysterious and mysterious words.Zhou Mufei's talent in martial arts is not high, even though he has practiced swordsmanship with Dugu Liuyun for so long, it is really difficult for him to understand these things.

However, Dugu Liuyun is hailed by Ji Lingxuan as a rare swordsmanship wizard who is rare in a hundred years. Maybe these principles that he thinks are empty words and nonsense will be of great benefit to him. If he can realize the highest state of swordsmanship through this, It would be a real surprise to become the number one swordsman in the rivers and lakes.

Zhou Mufei knew that what he did was treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, but it was better than doing nothing, watching Dugu Liuyun worry because of the failure of his own swordsmanship, maybe he would become obsessed because of his deep obsession be good.

With this in mind, Zhou Mufei went out to look for Dugu Liuyun.

He went out of the cave and walked to the open space where Dugu Liuyun often practiced sword, just in time to see him standing under a tree in a daze holding the long sword, muttering in a low voice with straight eyes: "This trick doesn't work either, There is a hole two inches below the right rib..."

Zhou Mufei's heart moved, and he immediately continued: "Dugu, is there any flawless sword technique in the sword technique that your master taught you?"

Dugu Liuyun was stunned when he heard the words, and said after a while: "No. But those sword moves have been supplemented by back moves..."

Zhou Mufei said: "Aren't their back moves completely impeccable?"

Dugu Liuyun shook his head and said: "Of course not, there may not be a completely impeccable sword move in the world." "That's right." Zhou Mufei said: "Since all sword moves have more or less flaws, can you You can’t get rid of the shackles of your moves, why don’t you use any sword moves at all? As long as you don’t have a fixed sword move, your opponent won’t know where your weaknesses lie.”

Dugu Liuyun was stunned and said: "How can it be done? If there are no rules, there will be no square circle. If there is no sword move, I am afraid that there will be more loopholes, and the opponent will have more opportunities to take advantage of..."

Zhou Mufei quickly shook his head and said, "No, it's not. I dreamed of a white-bearded immortal last night, and he said to me: The highest state of swordsmanship is 'There is a sword to win without a sword, and there is a trick to win without a move'. He also said that as long as If you can go beyond the restraint of sword moves, and freely use your heart to send and receive, then you can become the No.1 sword in the Jianghu..."

Dugu Liuyun's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he murmured: "'No sword wins with a sword, no trick wins with a trick'...Why didn't I think of that before!"

Zhou Mufei saw his face suddenly showing joy, and asked quickly: "Have you realized anything?"

Dugu Liuyun nodded: "I have a sudden realization, but it is not yet clear, and I need to think carefully..."

Zhou Mufei couldn't help but touch his forehead when he heard the words, his heart was swollen, I couldn't even comprehend it, could this be the difference between a genius and a waste!

Dugu Liuyun thought deeply, and then asked: "Did the white-bearded fairy in your dream say anything else?"

Zhou Mufei pretended to be contemplative, and said after a while: "It seems that he also said something like 'there is no advance but no retreat, there is no attack but no defense', but I woke up before he finished speaking, so I can't remember clearly..."

Hearing this, Dugu Liuyun started to think again and again: "There is advance but no retreat, there is attack but no defense, there is advance but no retreat, there is attack but no defense..."

Zhou Mufei knew that he had entered the mode of concentrating on studying swordsmanship again, so he stopped disturbing him, took off his clothes directly behind the tree and transformed into a big eagle, and then flew towards the large dense forest ahead, ready to catch some wild game and roast it. making lunch.

Because this mountain was inaccessible, there were many wild birds and animals. Zhou Mufei caught two hares almost effortlessly.

He was just about to take the hare back to the cave, when he suddenly heard a shrill eagle cry not far ahead.

Zhou Mufei's heart suddenly moved. He had rarely seen the same kind since he was an adult. He just felt surprised and kind when he heard the singing of the eagle at this moment, so he couldn't help but flew towards the direction of the singing of the eagle.

After flying twenty or thirty feet, Zhou Mufei finally saw the screaming eagle.

It was a big yellow-brown vulture, not smaller than him at all, but its appearance was much uglier than him - there was a large bloody sarcoma on the top of its head, and there were few sparse hairs on its neck, but even so, this vulture looked still Majestic.

At this moment, the big eagle was wrestling with two poisonous snakes on the tree. The two poisonous snakes also looked unusual. They were several meters long, the thickness of an adult's arms, and their colors were very bright. They were extremely poisonous at first glance. things.

Seeing that the big eagle was very brave, Zhou Mufei admired it in his heart, felt a sense of sympathy with the enemy, immediately put down the hare and flew over, pecking fiercely at one of the poisonous snakes with his sharp beak.

The poisonous snake immediately raised its head to fight back, unexpectedly its movements were very flexible, its head and tail responded with a degree of attack and defense, it was not much worse than a human martial arts master.

But after all, Zhou Mufei had practiced sword with Dugu Liuyun for many years, and in terms of skill, he was more than ten times stronger than the poisonous snake. He quickly grabbed the snake's seven inches, and then ruthlessly pecked it to death.

At this time, the big eagle also dropped another poisonous snake, and thanked Zhou Mufei twice with "Oh".

Zhou Mufei also called twice to express his impoliteness, but he didn't know if the big eagle understood, after all, he was taken away by Dugu Liuyun since he was a child, and he never learned the language of eagles.

The big eagle walked up to Zhou Mufei, then lightly rubbed its wings against him, then raised its head and let out another cry.

Zhou Mufei suddenly found that there were purple-black bloodstains on its chest and abdomen, which seemed to be bitten by a poisonous snake, and he couldn't help being slightly startled.

—Looking at the poisonousness of the poisonous snake, since the eagle was bitten by it, it probably won't be long.

The big eagle also understood this, it looked deeply at Zhou Mufei, and Zhou Mufei actually saw a deep sadness in the eyes of those two eagles.

The big eagle rubbed against Zhou Mufei with its wings again, as if signaling him something, then suddenly spread its wings and flew away.

Zhou Mufei followed confusedly, but saw the big eagle stopped on a big tree not far away, and there was a bird's nest not far away from it.

Zhou Mufei flew over quickly, but saw a snow-white round carved egg lying quietly in the bird's nest.

The big eagle yelled at Zhou Mufei twice, and it seemed that he was about to leave him alone.

Zhou Mufei saw that the big eagle was really pitiful, and the carved eggs were white and cute, so he wanted to help it out, but...he couldn't hatch eggs at all, huh!

The big eagle seemed to see that he was in trouble, and its cry became more sad and mournful.

Zhou Mufei had no choice but to nod at it and yell twice to express that he would help it take care of the child.

Hearing the words, the big eagle finally felt relieved, and could no longer hold on to the branch, fell down the tree with a thud, and died after a while.

Zhou Mufei chose a wet and soft place, dug a hole with his claws, then hastily buried the big eagle's body to prevent it from being eaten by vultures, then flew up the tree to catch the eagle's egg and flew down.

After all, he couldn't come to help the eagle hatch every day, so he had no choice but to bring the eagle's eggs back to the cave.

Zhou Mufei turned into a human, holding the carved eggs in his left hand, and two poisonous snakes and two hares in his right hand, walked out of the dense forest and went straight back to the cave.

Afterwards, looking at the snow-white carved egg, Zhou Mufei began to worry again.

Earlier, he agreed to the big eagle's request with a soft heart, but now that he picked up a hot potato, he realized that he had really picked up a big trouble.

Although he had heard of hatching eggs at an artificial constant temperature before, he didn't know what temperature was suitable, and the existing conditions did not allow him to hatch eggs artificially.

Can you only rely on yourself?

Zhou Mufei covered his face with his hands sadly, he was a man after all, even if he turned into a vulture, he was also a male vulture, how could he be reduced to the point where he was going to hatch eggs?
