Outlying Islands and Different Swordsmen

Chapter 3 Strange Qigong Practice
Yi Yao was trembling with pain, this was a feeling she had never experienced before, her muscles and bones were like being pricked by needles.

"Teacher...teacher! You..." Yi Yao was so painful that she couldn't speak. She wanted to break free from the teacher, but she didn't even have the strength to raise her hand.

"Miss! Miss!" Seeing this, Lingduo hurried forward and grabbed Yiyao's arm, trying to push away the teacher's hand, "Master! What are you doing to Miss! Let go!"

But the master's hand was holding Yi Yao's wrist tightly like a rock.

"Teacher! Quickly...let go..." Ling Duo was also anxious, and firmly grasped the master's hand with both hands, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move her in the slightest.

"Then I've offended you!" Lingduo suddenly stepped forward and bit down on the back of the teacher's hand...

Snapped!
Still holding Yiyao with her right hand, the teacher stretched out her left hand and hit Ling Duo on the left shoulder. Ling Duo was knocked back several steps and fell to the ground, spitting blood from her mouth.

"Master...why are you treating Miss like this..." Ling Duo struggled on the ground.

"If it weren't for the prohibition of killing in the temple, my palm could have easily killed you." The teacher said to Ling Duo with a sneer, "This matter has nothing to do with you, you go, I won't kill you."

And Yi Yao was still in severe pain and weakness all over her body, unable to move or speak, watching Ling Duo being injured.Can't help but shed tears.

"What this poor nun has done, I can't help myself, I have no choice. If you want to blame, blame the person in your dream, and I will explain everything to you." Master Yun Zhen said to Yi Yao, "We have been looking for you for too long That's it—the goddess of outlying islands, Miss Xue Shani."

Upon hearing this, Yi Yao looked at the teacher in horror.

But the constant pain all over her body made her unable to hold on any longer, and finally passed out...

……

Suddenly, the pain in the whole body seemed to be relieved.Waiting for Yiyao to open her eyes, she found herself in the dream of last night again.

"Yu...Miss Yiyao?" A young man's voice, and then she felt the man's hand gently coming over to touch her arm, wanting to help her.

It was Duanmu Hongyan.

Only then did Yi Yao realize that she was sitting on the grass, her arm was just touched by Duanmu's hand, she stood up abruptly and avoided it.

"Don't be afraid, it's me." Duanmu said.

"Why did you show up again? I... I was hurt by you!" Seeing Duanmu, Yi Yao couldn't help becoming angry when she saw what happened today, "You must tell me clearly, what is going on in this dream of mine? Something. Why did my father, and my teacher, react like this?!"

"Miss Yiyao, don't worry, tell me, what happened today?"

"I told my father and teacher about this dream and the fairy tale about the outlying island that you told me about." Yi Yao said, "But they seem to know about it, my father wants me to leave Linhai immediately, and... ...and the teacher even wanted to hurt me and my Lingduo..."

"Master? What teacher?"

"Master Yun Zhen of Linhai Yanglong Temple."

"This is not a teacher." Duanmu said, "She is the one who wants to kill you, she is Mi Shanjian Liu Fangcong! She has a group of shadow fighters under her command, all of whom hold broad-headed daggers."

"Ah? What are you talking about?" Yi Yao couldn't believe it, "Master Yun Zhen is my mother's friend for many years... I also often visit her... How is it possible..."

Duanmu said solemnly: "I will explain the reason here to you in the future. You have to remember that from today onwards, you will encounter all kinds of evil forces that disrupt the world, and the Mishan Sword is one of them. Now It's not too late. You said she was going to hurt you, so tell me what's going on? Besides, it's not night, how could you fall asleep in a dream? "

"She pressed the acupuncture points on my wrist, causing me pain all over my body, and she also injured my Lingduo." Yi Yao said with lingering fear, "I feel like I fainted from pain."

Duanmu pondered for a while, and said: "Don't be afraid, this is just her disturbing qigong. I will teach you a formula now, which can help you break free from her control. Once you break free, you will flee immediately and go to the crowded places in the downtown area."

"How is this possible?" Yi Yao was not completely convinced, "My mother said that Master Yun Zhen's martial arts are so unpredictable that it is difficult to find an opponent in the entire Southeast Road. She held me down with only two fingers today."

"Don't forget that you have the spiritual root of a female fairy on an outlying island. She is just a trivial skill in front of you." Duanmu said, "If you are willing to believe me, practice this mantra with me."

"Okay... okay." Yi Yao said, thinking that there is no other way for now.

"Come on, let me ask you, do you know martial arts? How about your strength?" Duanmu continued.

"I have practiced spears for nine years, but I only know one set of dragon spear techniques. The first half of "Luo's Spear Manual"..."

"Have you ever practiced internal strength?"

"Never practiced..."

"Very good, very good." Duanmu said, "Miss Yiyao, just trust me this time. This formula will teach you to escape from Liu Fangcong's hands. Please remember it!"

Before Yi Yao could react, Duanmu had already started to read.

[Qi has a spirit, and those who control Qi are controlled by Qi.When the qi is divided into two, the body is like an empty valley, the heart acupoints and meridians are all connected, and the flow of qi is unimpeded.Qi is self-defending weapons, there is no way to do it...]

This is a very strange set of qi training formulas.Yi Yao has also read a lot of martial arts mental methods since she was a child, but all of them read "Qi comes from herself", this is the first time she heard that "Qi" will be separated from the human body...

After Duanmu recited hundreds of words of formulas, Yiyao was in a meditation posture, and explained sentence by sentence.

"This qigong method is strange and special. You must understand it carefully and practice it immediately. It can be done quickly with your spiritual roots." Duanmu said.

Yi Yao meditated, repeating the mantra, practicing with doubts.

When practicing for the first time, I only felt that the meridians all over my body were in disorder, and it seemed that the true energy was rushing out from the whole body little by little.

After about half a stick of incense time...

After practicing the whole set of formulas, Yiyao found that all the true energy in her body seemed to have rushed out of her body, and the symptoms of body weakness improved, and her whole body was light, and the pain and drowsiness of being restrained by the master seemed to have disappeared. .

"I understand, this is a method of dispersing qi. It will remove all the stagnant qi in my body." Yi Yao stood up and moved a little, and said to Duanmu, "You feel light and refreshed! But... this is just a dream Right? Besides, according to this practice method, wouldn’t my body become an empty shell? The whole body’s true energy is exhausted, and there is no strength at all.”

"That's right, that's the feeling." Duanmu said happily, "Now you concentrate on your fingertips, use your fingertips as a sword, and swing it twice to see."

Yi Yao hesitated and did not move.

"Trust me, believe in yourself." Duanmu said with a gleam in his eyes, "Think your fingertips as a sword, or as a gun in your hand, try!"

Yiyao stretched out the two fingers of her right hand, and the scene of practicing spear with her father flashed in her mind, and her muscle memory waved her arms to perform the move of the Dragon Spear.

In an instant!

A few bursts of true energy burst out from her fingertips, piercing the air with a buzzing sound.

Yi Yao was stunned.

"It's done! You have to remember this feeling." Duanmu said, "The reality is the same as in the dream. This is a qi training formula in the strange swordsmanship. After you wake up, immediately concentrate on your fingertips , you can shoot out swift and fierce qi to injure the enemy. If you have weapons at hand, the effect will be better."

"I have never practiced true qi before, so why does it have such an effect?"

"This is exactly the effect of the spiritual root on your body," Duanmu said, "this time you believe what I said before. Come on, you can practice again."

Duanmu took Yiyao to get acquainted with the method of controlling zhenqi.

"Okay, it's not too late, you should get out and escape." Duanmu said, "In my dream tonight, I will explain many reasons to you."

After finishing speaking, Duanmu stretched out his fingertips and lightly touched Yiyao's forehead.

……

Yi Yao was still hesitating, the front wood and the surrounding situation suddenly blurred before her eyes, followed by a blurry figure in front of her.

Once she regained consciousness, she returned to the inner room of Yanglong Temple. In front of her was Mrs. Yun Zhen who was smiling meaningfully, still pressing her wrist tightly with two fingers.

The previous pain in the meridians all over the body reappeared strongly.

But this also made her wake up quickly, and she tried hard to recall everything in the dream just now, as well as the strange qi training formula taught by Duanmu.

"It's really weird, this dream is getting more and more absurd." Yi Yao pondered in her heart, "But the pain all over her body is unbearable, and there is no other way, I can only gamble and try."

Yiyao closed her eyes, trying to ignore the pain all over her body, but focused on her hand being held down by the teacher.

But it was too painful, just like before fainting, suffocating pain.

"Scattering qi...scattering qi..." Yi Yao thought of what Duanmu said, the feeling in the dream is the same as in reality.She even tried her best to recall the feeling of true energy rushing out of her body and surrounding her in the dream just now...

Gradually, the fingertips gained some strength, and they twitched, trying to break free from Master Yun Zhen's restraint.

"Don't struggle, Miss Xue Xiani." Master Yun Zhen noticed Yiyao's hand moving, and sneered, "Your spiritual root is not yet awakened, and now you are just an ordinary person. Wait until I destroy your meridians and destroy your spiritual root , no one can compete with us in this world."

Master Yun Zhen seems to have increased her strength again.

"Spiritual roots..." Yi Yao was already in pain and burst into tears, thinking to herself, "Miss Xue Xiani... If you really have spiritual roots in me, then please help me get through this calamity...I will definitely believe what Duanmu said. Everything I said..."

In a trance, Yi Yao felt that her whole body seemed to become lighter, and there was faint qi surrounding her left and right, and the qi at her fingertips was also recovering... That's right!This is what it feels like to be in a dream!

According to Duanmu's teaching in the dream just now, Yiyao worked hard to circulate and control the true energy around her, and let the energy gather at her fingertips little by little——

rub!
The feeling is coming!A burst of invisible zhenqi shot out from the fingertips, facing the teacher who was tightly controlling her, and directly hit the teacher's left abdomen... The teacher was hit by this sudden powerful zhenqi, The whole person even the chair fell to the ground, vomiting blood from the mouth.

"Success!" Yi Yao was delighted in her heart, although she still felt that everything here was absurd, but now she really believed what Duanmu said.

Yiyao broke free from the confinement of the teacher, got up quickly, and went to help Ling Duo who was lying on the ground.

"Thank you miss for saving me..." Ling Duo said, clutching her left shoulder.

"This...that's impossible! How can you do this..." the teacher said, struggling to stand up from the ground.

Yi Yao didn't dare to hesitate any longer, she pulled Ling Duo and rushed out the door.

Five or six nuns who heard the noise outside the door all surrounded them.Seeing the scene where the teacher was injured and fell to the ground in the hall, they pulled out their swords one after another, trying to stop Yiyao and Lingduo: "Bold thief, how dare you hurt the teacher! Where are you going!"

"Miss...what should I do..." Lingduo said.

Without hesitation, Yi Yao stretched out her hand to protect Ling Duo, letting her retreat behind her, and then "Ceng Ceng Ceng Ceng Ceng Ceng Ceng" several times in a row, hitting the ground.Cracks appeared on the ground immediately.

The nuns did not dare to approach and retreated steadily.Yiyao saw a gap among several people, so she dragged Lingduo to run outside.

There were also some female pilgrims and nuns on duty in the temple, and they were very surprised to see Yiyao and Lingduo rushing out.

The two rushed out of the temple without looking back.

Yi Yao turned her head and glanced at the temple, but the teacher and nuns did not chase her out.

Ling Duo received a slap from the master on her left shoulder, and she couldn't run fast, so Yi Yao took her to the busy market nearby, on the one hand, it was hard to be found due to the crowds, and at the same time, to see if she could find a medical center or a doctor.

While pulling Lingduo, looking forward and backward, Yi Yao accidentally collided with a tall person in front of her.

Snapped!
Yi Yao felt that she had bumped into a hard armor, and just as she was about to fall, the man stretched out his hand to support her.
