—————————————————————

The night was deep, and Hu Qingpeng climbed up the cliff alone, allowing the bitter mountain wind to pass through his body, looking at the vast starry sky, two lines of tears rolled down. He lost, to the person who was most unwilling to lose, and lost so unwillingly! Especially since victory was already within his reach, but it was snatched away helplessly, he ended up with a failure. He remembered Zhao Qinghe's face after winning, and felt a chaotic hatred in his heart, and felt that his chest was so depressed that he almost couldn't breathe. He raised his arms high and shouted to the sky, "Ah-!" The screams echoed among the mountains, endlessly.

After venting his depression, he silently wiped away the cold tears and his mood gradually calmed down. He knew very well that the facts of the fait cannot be changed, and there is no use to beat the chest and stamp the feet and regret it. He swore in his heart that although he missed this opportunity, he must not miss the next time!

Hu Qingpeng sat cross-legged, recalling every detail of today's competition and his mood at that time, and had to admit that his condition was not in the best state, especially when he was in a fight, he was impetuous and wanted to knock the opponent down as soon as possible. As a result, he wasted his physical strength and failed to fully utilize his sword skills. Zhao Qinghe got into the early stages, and understood that he had more sword moves, and his light skills were better. He once attacked him so hard that he could not breathe. Therefore, it was not just luck to win. If he wanted to defeat Zhao Qinghe or even Gao Qingcheng in the future, he would firstly resolve the alien internal force in his body as soon as possible to relieve his worries, secondly, learn the advanced sword skills of his own sect, and thirdly, improve his light skills. But these three points are easy to say, but it would be difficult to do it!

First of all, the internal energy practice of Hengshan School is focused on being central and solid, and you can only practice slowly and hard on your own. There is no shortcut to take. With his current progress, it will take at least three years to resolve the alien internal energy. Secondly, although Yin Tianyun is his master, Yin Tianyun has been practicing a certain martial arts master for a long time, rarely caring about his condition, and not much scheming to guide his swordsmanship. If Hu Qingpeng cannot be selected into the ranks of the six major disciples this time, it will be difficult to have the opportunity to learn the best swordsmanship of this sect in the future, and the gap with Zhao Qinghe and others will become increasingly larger. Finally, it is the issue of improving the level of light skills. Also because of the lack of guidance from the master, he does not know the tricks very well, and he is not as good as other senior brothers in the use of body skills.

Hu Qingpeng sighed to the sky, why did his master always practice Kung Fu behind closed doors? It was mysterious and even Liu Qingshan didn't know which unique skill he was practicing. Anyway, except for eating, they rarely saw Yin Tianyun appear, and most of the time they guided them martial arts was Chen Tianlei. If his master could fulfill his responsibilities of preaching and answering questions, Hu Qingpeng believed that today's battle would definitely win.

What can I do to improve my martial arts as soon as possible? Hu Qingpeng hugged his head with his hands and grabbed his hair with distress. Suddenly, his inspiration flashed, remembering the bloody night three years ago. In the lobby of the branch of the Qinglong Society, He Tieyi originally wanted to accept himself as his apprentice, but later he was delayed because he wanted to intercept Yi Hui, a master of the Beggar Gang. But before the action, Lu Jiu, Chang Lewen and others handed him three martial arts secrets, one was "Stick Art Essence", the other was the light skills of "Crane Dance Clouds", and the other was the essence of "Wind and Thunder Sword Technique". After he arrived in Hengshan, he focused on learning the sword skills of the Hengshan Sword Sect, but he had never read these three secrets, and of course he had never practiced the above martial arts, and kept throwing them under the mat. Three years ago, he had no common sense in martial arts. He read these three secrets, like a flipped the sky books, and he didn't understand what was said above, but now there is no obstacle!

Hu Qingpeng jumped up in excitement and danced with his hands and feet. It was a road ahead! He had to go back and find these three secrets. With his writing skills and martial arts knowledge, it would be easy to study the martial arts himself. Even if there was no Yin Tianyun's guidance, he would be able to compete with Zhao Qinghe when he was fighting!

Hu Qingpeng climbed down the cliff happily and ran towards Hengshan Jiansai Villa. He had just run several feet away and suddenly felt a familiar chill coming towards him. He saw a person blocking the mountain road ahead. He looked carefully and turned out to be Gao Qingcheng. He hurriedly greeted, "Senior Brother Gao!"

Gao Qingcheng stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Hu Qingpeng coldly, his eyes as sharp as a sword, as if he wanted to penetrate his surface and see his true thoughts clearly, and said word by word: "You are already sure to win today, why do you want him on purpose?"

Hu Qingpeng smiled bitterly when he heard this. He didn't want to win the competition, but the situation at that time could not be controlled by himself. In fact, he admired this talented senior brother in his heart and was unwilling to lie and deceive the other party. He simply revealed the ins and outs of the alien internal energy lurking in his body, hoping that he could understand it. However, he omitted Master Mingxin and did not mention the section of the teaching of the Dharma Master Tianfa.

After hearing his explanation, Gao Qingcheng was skeptical and frowned: "This matter sounds too mysterious. How can three internal forces coexist in a person's body?! Wouldn't this lead to a devil?"

Hu Qingpeng stretched out his arm and said calmly: "There is no lie I have said. Senior Brother Gao doesn't believe it and you will know it by just a try."

Gao Qingcheng snorted, lifted his breath and fell lightly beside Hu Qingpeng. He reached out to put his vein door, and his internal force was sent along the vein, and his face immediately changed color, "Hey, you, you really have different internal force inside! Junior Brother Hu, how can you resolve this?"

Hu Qingpeng said: "Senior brother, don't worry for me. Those two senior masters have already taught me how to resolve internal energy. As long as my internal energy has reached a certain level, I can solve this problem according to law. Hey, if my internal energy is not too shallow and I can't suppress these two alien internal energy, how could I fail at the last moment and lose to Senior Brother Zhao unexpectedly?" While saying that, he slapped his chest with his fist and sighed repeatedly.

At this time, Gao Qingcheng's misunderstanding completely disappeared, and he felt a pity for Hu Qingpeng. He patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Your performance is obvious to everyone. He first defeated Situ and almost defeated Zhao Qinghe. He is fully qualified to go to the forbidden area of ​​the back mountain to practice swordsmanship. If you have the chance, I will definitely plead with the head of the sect for you, and make an exception and add you one more person to the six disciples!"

Hu Qingpeng was very happy that Gao Qingcheng was the eighth-generation disciple who was most valued by the leader. His words of willingness to help plead with him were naturally different. He was about to thank him, but Gao Qingcheng had already said first: "You don't need to thank me, because I don't need these politeness. Among the fellow disciples, only you are qualified to be my opponent. If you don't have this qualification, I will not speak for you at all. If you are willing, practice sword skills seriously and compete with me!" The war was burning in your eyes, revealing your strong fighting spirit.

Hu Qingpeng's eyes met without any concession, stared at the other party with a tit-for-tat attitude, and said confidently: "Senior brother, don't shed tears if you lose!"

Gao Qingcheng seemed to hear a huge joke and said in surprise: "Will I shed tears? Hahaha!" As he said that, he laughed out loud abnormally, but there was no joy in the laughter, only deep hatred, and only murderous intent as cold as a blade. Hu Qingpeng heard this harsh and shrill laughter, even with his courage, he couldn't help but chill. If this senior brother Gao didn't laugh, he would have laughed, and it seemed like blood was flowing all over the ground and corpses were everywhere. It was so terrifying!

Gao Qingcheng's laughter finally stopped, and there was silence around him, and no creature dared to make a slight sound. Hu Qingpeng could even hear his pounding heartbeat.

Gao Qingcheng clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles crackled, his eyes stared at a point in the void, and said slowly: "I will never cry, I will only bleed, or let my enemies bleed!" His tone was low and cold, which made people feel scared.

Hu Qingpeng looked sideways and sighed in his heart. How deep is the hatred hidden behind this almost expressionless face? Such a handsome boy is harder than a rock and colder than ice and snow. Why is it for? He doesn't want to ask about other people's **. If Gao Qingcheng doesn't say it, he will never ask. He stood still for a moment, convinced that Gao Qingcheng has no other moves, and turned around and walked away silently.

The wind blew, and the pine forest roared.

Gao Qingcheng's eyes shined in the dark, a little grateful and a little wet, but more of a deep and boundless pain. How long does his secrets and hatred have to be carried alone?

The competition finally ended, and Gao Qingcheng won the first place without any suspense. With his strong recommendation, Chen Tianlei and others agreed to let Hu Qingpeng and the six major disciples go to the forbidden area of ​​the back mountain to practice the best swordsmanship. The forbidden area of ​​the back mountain enshrines the spiritual position of the heads of the Hengshan Sect, and it is also a place for the heads of the previous dynasties to go in seclusion. Only the heads have the right to enter. Any Hengshan disciple is absolutely not allowed to enter without the consent of the head. What is the offender?

Zhihui was abolished and expelled from the wall. Yin Tianyun and others, who were of the same generation as Chen Tianlei, were never allowed to enter the forbidden area. Chen Tianlei made an exception this time and allowed Gao Qingcheng and seven others to enter to learn excellent swordsmanship. The main reason was that these disciples could defeat the successors of the other six sword sects at the Songshan Sword Competition three years later and boost the reputation of the Hengshan Sect. Because in the martial arts world, the prestige of a sect depends to a large extent on the strength it showed.

That morning, Hu Qingpeng and seven others took a shower, changed their clothes, burned incense and worshipped, and led by Chen Tianlei to the forbidden area of ​​the back mountain.

There is no eye-catching sign in front of the forbidden area of ​​Hengshan Sect, but there is a dense forest of pine trees planted at the entrance. The passages between the trees are crisscrossed and circled, arranged according to the formation, and there are extremely powerful mechanisms. If someone breaks in, he will lose his direction and wander around at the least, he will fall into a trap, and the poisonous arrows will penetrate the heart. Among the Hengshan Sect, only Chen Tianlei knows the path to enter and exit the forest. The young men followed Chen Tianlei and followed each other and did not dare to take a wrong step. Because of the formation of trees, the light in the forest was very dark, and there were no birds and beasts passing through it. They were gloomy and wet everywhere, and the fog was lingering, giving people a heavy sense of oppression.

After walking half a stick of incense, I finally walked through the woods. The eyes suddenly became clear. The boys all relaxed. At the exit of the road, there was a hidden valley with rock walls on both sides, and grass was not growing. Even monkeys could not climb up and down. A winding path meandered in the green grass, down a cave on the front cliff. The cave was more than one person high, and the entrance was covered by a stone gate. The rock wall outside the cave was engraved with four blood-red characters "Those who enter the game die", which was three feet above the ground, which was very dazzling.

Chen Tianlei paused, turned around and faced the seven disciples under his sect, and said in a stern manner: "The secret cave in front is the place where the heads of the Hengshan Sect practice for all dynasties. It also worships the spiritual positions of the heads of all dynasties since the founding of the mountain. It can be said that it is the core location of the sect. According to the rules of the sect, only the heads are qualified to enter the inner practice. I made an exception and allowed you to go in and practice swords because you shoulder the important task of revitalizing the reputation of the Hengshan Sect. The key to whether the martial arts of this sect can be carried forward depends on you! After entering the cave, you must concentrate on practicing swords, strictly prohibit laughing and fighting, strictly prohibit walking around, and not destroying any arrangements in the cave. If anyone dares to violate the ban, he will be severely punished according to the rules and prohibited from stepping into the cave again!"

The boys looked solemn and bowed together to respond to "yes". They all understood that this opportunity was once a lifetime, and although everyone was familiar with each other, no one dared to joke with each other anymore.

Chen Tianlei pressed the hidden button of the mechanism beside the stone gate, and only heard the underground turntable twist, the iron chain rustled, the stone gate trembled, slowly slid backward, revealing a long and black passage. Chen Tianlei said to the young men: "The stone cave is also full of mechanism traps. Remember not to walk around after you go in, otherwise it may cause a murder. Even I can't save you!"

When the young men passed by the forest maze, they knew the power of the formation mechanism. No one dared to doubt the words of the leader and were now slouching.

Walking into the cave, Chen Tianlei skillfully lit the eternal light hanging on the stone wall, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He walked along the passage several feet and came to a relatively empty space with three dark cave entrances distributed on the rock wall. At this time, the road broke into three, leading to different places. Chen Tianlei led the young men to the passage on the left, and walked for a while to a spacious and tall stone chamber.

When the lights were lit, I saw that the four walls were carved or painted, full of various characters' changing postures, some were dancing swords alone, some were practicing and even fighting against multiple people, and there were dense text annotations next to them. It turned out that when the heads of Hengshan Sect in history were in seclusion here, they occasionally had inspiration, so they portrayed them on the stone wall. Over time, the stone walls on all sides were covered with various moves and patterns. The ground inside the room was full of sword marks and unevenness, which was obviously a masterpiece left by those senior masters. The first time the boys came to this holy place in the sacred place, looking at the martial arts skills carved on the rock wall, all of whom were happy and excited.

Chen Tianlei briefly explained a few sentences to the young men and asked them to practice by themselves. The young men scattered and separated, looking for martial arts and sword techniques to study them. Some people immediately compared the moves above. Hu Qingpeng was not in a hurry to imitate the martial arts of his predecessors, but walked around the four stone walls and browsed the martial arts above to see which martial arts are suitable for him to practice. The martial arts on the rock wall can be roughly summarized into three categories, one is some experiences about practicing internal skills, the second is the essence of various sword techniques of Hengshan Sect, and the third is the wonderful sword moves and actual combat records of other sects. Hu Qingpeng opened his eyes and sighed in his heart that if he wanted to understand and master each move, he might not be able to do it in his life. The depth of martial arts is as vast as a sea of ​​smoke!

When Hu Qingpeng walked past Gao Qingcheng, he saw his frowning and his eyes showed a distressed and depressed look. He was curious and looked along his sight. He looked at the stone wall with a powerful killer move, and there was annotation of practicing martial arts luck next to the portrait. Hu Qingpeng looked at it intently and said in a lost voice: "What a domineering move! What a strong murderous intent!"

Gao Qingcheng was shocked, turned around and asked in surprise: "Can you understand this sword technique?!"

Hu Qingpeng scratched his head and said with a smile: "I don't understand how to use this sword technique yet, but the annotation next to it says, "A long sword breaks out of the world, and drinks the blood of demons and prides the wolves." You can imagine how fierce and domineering this move is."

Gao Qingcheng was overjoyed, grabbed his shoulder tightly, and said excitedly: "Can you understand the annotations on the rock wall? Tell me what it is about!" It turned out that he valued martial arts and slight literary words, and he recognized limited words, not to mention that the rock wall was engraved with cursive script of dragons and flying phoenixes. He didn't recognize a single word, and was very distressed by this.

Hu Qingpeng originally studied with Guo Jingzhi, and in recent years he received guidance from Fang Yuxuan. The teachers he worshiped were all contemporary scholars. These annotations looked like heavenly books in Gao Qingcheng, but they were nothing in his eyes. In this way, the two of them studied the sword technique on the rock wall together. Hu Qingpeng had good writing skills, so he first translated the content of the annotations next to him in detail; Gao Qingcheng had high martial arts talents, and then he studied the essence and changes of the moves correctly. The two had their own strengths, divided the work and cooperated to learn the martial arts left by their predecessors, and the efficiency was several times higher than that of a person who thought hard.

Everyone sat or stood, studying martial arts carefully. The stone room was silent, and time passed without realizing that time passed. Suddenly, a roar like a human and a beast came from the abdomen of the mountain, revealing anger and frenzy, which scared everyone who was thinking. Zhao Qinghe said in surprise: "Master, are there any wild beasts hidden in the cave?"

Chen Tianlei's face changed drastically, and he said to the young men: "You stay here and don't move around, I'll go back!" After that, he flew out. At this moment, another roar came through the heavy stone walls, buzzing and echoing in the stone chamber. The young men looked at each other. Is there any monsters imprisoned in the cave?

After waiting for a while, no strange sounds were heard. Soon Chen Tianlei hurried back, looking unhappy. The boys didn't dare to find out what was going on when they saw this. Chen Tianlei had no intention of supervising everyone to learn martial arts, and now led the boys under his sect to walk out of the cave. When Hu Qingpeng passed the fork in the road, he couldn't help looking at the other two caves. What secrets were hidden here? Suddenly, Mo Tianfeng's warning before leaving, "... Remember, don't talk too much in Hengshan Sect in the future, ask less questions you shouldn't ask, otherwise even your master will not be able to protect you." He felt awe in his heart and lowered his head and walked quickly.
