Chapter Seventy-One: A Detour and a Night March
"It turns out that you are the disciples of the old man of the Sword Saint! No wonder, no wonder, such a magical swordsmanship can probably only be created by the old man of the Sword Saint. m.”
The military advisor exclaimed, he didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet the disciple of the Sword Saint in his lifetime.
That legendary god-like figure is an idol in the hearts of countless people!
Now, although I haven't seen his true body, I have seen the true transmission of his swordsmanship, and I think of Mu Qianmei and Liu Tingfeng on the battlefield, who are calm and calm in the midst of thousands of troops, and the chic and elegant when dancing the long sword in their hands is indeed beyond the reach of other sects' swordsmanship.
"Let the military advisor smile, although we follow the master to learn the arts, but our cultivation time is still short, and the talent is not high, and the swordsmanship we have learned is still very shallow."
Mu Qianmei replied humbly.
"Huh...... You don't have to be modest, although I don't know swordsmanship, but I know how to appreciate swordsmanship, you can have such a deep internal strength at your age, and swordsmanship has reached the point of doing whatever you want, the sword is not out, the intention moves first, the control of the sword intent has been sent and received freely, and it is not far from the realm of the unity of man and sword! Many people who practice swords, in their lifetime, will not reach your current realm, if your talent is not high, then who else in the world dare to call it talented? ”
The military advisor commented with a smile.
Listening to the comments of the military advisor, Mu Qianmei was also deeply surprised, all along, this military advisor has been standing silently by Tana's side, and rarely makes any high comments, she didn't notice his existence much, it turns out that he has a unique eye for martial arts and swordsmanship, and he can see through their martial arts realm at a glance, even if he doesn't practice martial arts, but the theory and knowledge of martial arts have reached a very high level.
She couldn't help but look at this thin old man who was not good-looking, and said with admiration:
"I didn't expect the military advisor to have such a unique research and insight into martial arts, in the future, in the process of practice, if you encounter any problems, you must ask Mr. for more advice."
Hearing Mu Qianmei's sincere words, the military advisor said embarrassedly:
"What do you ask, I'm just talking on paper, your current level is just to continue to improve in actual combat, and no one can help you with the progress in the future, you can only rely on your own understanding."
What he said actually coincided with what Ye Suifeng said at that time, it seems that the comprehension of the Dao, even in different fields and in different ways, is ultimately the same!
Different means to the same end.
Sure enough, they are on the same path.
They talked all the way, and the procession kept moving unhurriedly, and in the blink of an eye it was late at night.
Luckily, it was a moonlit night, and with the good weather, it was a sunny summer night.
The moon is sparse, the frogs are chirping, and the cicadas are noisy, which is the coolest time of the day.
On the vast grassland, a mighty team is hurrying at night.
In order to avoid the camp of the Krek tribe, they deliberately made a detour and walked a long way down the foot of the mountain before turning north.
It wasn't until dawn, when the people were tired, that the team stopped, had something to eat, and rested.
Mu Qianmei and Liu Tingfeng also took the opportunity to meditate and practice, martial arts, the most important thing is perseverance, no matter how busy they are, they have to take a little time to meditate and practice every day, and when no one is around, they have to practice swordsmanship, so as to have a greater improvement.
In the blink of an eye, it has been more than three months since they left their master, and because they have been busy lately, their state of mind is not as peaceful as it is on the mountain. Therefore, during this period of time, their martial arts have not made much progress, and they are still at the original level. However, after several actual combat experiences, they have learned that many of their shortcomings can only be discovered in actual combat, and it is difficult to detect them in solo practice and sparring training.
For example, in actual combat, they are still very lacking in reaction speed and anticipation of the enemy's first opportunity, and they will always react instinctively when it is the most critical.
Their first killings were all hurried to respond in an emergency, and they couldn't send and receive the sword moves freely, and once the sword moves were issued, they were not under their control.
Fortunately, all the people around him at that time were enemies, and if his own people were mixed together, the lethality caused would be killed by friends and foes, and his own people would be killed.
Afterwards, Mu Qianmei also talked to Liu Tingfeng about this problem, and both of them felt that the current priority was not to seek improvement, but to learn to control, after the sword move was issued, it was necessary to be able to control it at will, otherwise, sometimes it would cause unnecessary damage, and then it would be regretted.
When the two of them woke up from cultivation, they just ushered in the rising sun of a new day, and when they saw that some people were still resting, they exchanged their cultivation experiences for a while.
Agula saw from a distance that they had finished cultivating, so he ran over and said:
"Princess Fluttershy, I just told Leader Tana that we're still in a dangerous situation and time is running out, so let's get out on our way! Do you guys have any questions? ”
"We don't have any problems, since we've already said it, let's go now!"
Mu Qianmei stood up and replied.
So, after Agula notified the Chaolu behind, and with an order, the team slowly set off again.
Tana looked at Mu Qianmei and Liu Tingfeng beside her, and found that after just an hour's rest, the two young people looked refreshed, without a trace of exhaustion, and couldn't help but say enviously:
"Alas, it's good to be young! You can get back to life after a little rest, and I can't catch up with your mental state. ”
"Aunt Tana is worried about a lot of things, so she can't rest well, like us, she thinks about less things, she just concentrates on cultivation, so she will rest well, and when she arrives at our camp, Aunt Tana will rest well, and leave other things to the young people to consider, you can just take care of your body with peace of mind."
Mu Qianmei replied softly.
"Huh...... Fluttershy is so sweet, if only my kids were as sensible as you are. Alas, I haven't seen them for many years, and I don't know how well they learn martial arts? I don't want them to be as good as you, as long as they can protect themselves from being harmed in the ordinary struggle, I am satisfied. ”
Tana said with a wry smile, her tone full of infinite love and longing for the child.
"Oh? I'm wondering why I haven't seen your child all this time! Where did Aunt Tana's children learn art? ”
Mu Qianmei asked curiously.
"They were in my mother's tribe, and because our tribe was in chaos all the time, there was no time to teach them martial arts, so they were sent to my mother's tribe to learn the art when they were very young. They were also the same age as the Agoura siblings, and the four of them often played together as toddlers. I could watch the Agoura siblings grow up, but I couldn't see my own children, and I didn't know what they would have become when they grew up, and I might not recognize them if they met out of nowhere
Here it comes. So, I'm really not a good mother! ”
Tana said with some sadness and apologies.
"Aunt Tana is working hard for the affairs of the tribe, and it is understandable that she does not care about them, and I am sure that not only will they not blame you, but they will be proud to have such a great mother as you."
Mu Qianmei comforted.
"Huh...... You kid, who looks like you're only sixteen or seventeen years old, how can you be so understanding? It's so loving and painful. I don't know how you spent your childhood, did you spend it all learning and practicing martial arts? It's the first time I've met a girl like you, my son is fourteen years old, and my daughter is twelve years old, if they can be half as good as you, I'll be satisfied. ”
Tana said with a tearful smile.
"Aunt Tana has won an award, and I'm actually very ordinary, and even worked as a beggar. Perhaps it is precisely because I have experienced the warmth and coldness of the world that I know how to cherish everything I have more. Maybe when your child comes back from school, he will be better than me! ”
Mu Qianmei then said with relief.
After speaking, without waiting for Tana to reply, Mu Qianmei asked in surprise:
"Aunt Tana, why didn't I see Agoura's sister, where is she? I don't know what that little girl has become now, she should be as old as me, right? ”
When Tana heard Mu Qianmei's question, she shook her head with a wry smile, and said helplessly:
"This girl has been very stubborn since she was a child, she has always regarded the leader of the Feng Tianyu gang as the enemy who killed her grandfather, and even with it, she hates you too. This time we are going to go to you, and she is resolutely unwilling, but fortunately, she still listens to her brother's words, so she has to follow, but she has been hiding in her clan, with a few sisters of the same clan, and she does not want to come to see you at all. ”
"Alas...... I didn't expect her heart knot to be untied, but think about it, it's not her fault, since she was a child, her family must have been telling her that the old man was her big enemy, and after hearing too much, she firmly believed that it was difficult to change, and I just hoped that she would be able to figure out the misunderstanding sooner or later. ”
Mu Qianmei said that she was both understanding and a little worried.
"Some things, no matter how outsiders explain them, are useless, unless she can figure out the truth herself, she will be truly relieved, otherwise she will never be able to let go."
Tana said helplessly.
Mu Qianmei listened quietly and didn't speak, but secretly paid attention in her heart, hoping that this girl wouldn't do anything irrational and stupid.
Talking all the way, unconsciously at noon, the hot summer day, the grassland is like a natural steamer, the team has not rested well, plus the scorching sun, walking even slower.
Finally, they saw a clear river, and many soldiers suggested that they wanted to take a cool bath to cool down and refresh themselves.
However, neither Agoura nor Chaolu agreed, they only allowed everyone to drink water, wash their faces, take a short rest, simply eat some dry food, and then hurried on.
Finally persevered until the afternoon, seeing that the sun was already in the west, although the temperature of the grassland had dropped a lot, most of the people in the team were already exhausted, and even some of the poor physique fainted.
There was no way, Tana had to order to go down and rest on the spot.
However, less than an hour after resting, someone came to report that a large cavalry of the Creek tribe was coming after him......
