On the official road, the people of the caravan looked at the corpses and were all amazed.
"Looking at their attire, these people are all mounted gangsters. All of them were killed with one strike! " The experienced guards looked at the corpses and said to the surrounding merchants, "Thirty-seven mounted gangsters were all killed with one strike. Look at the marks on the field and the saber technique. The killer should be one person! "
Teng Qingshan also looked at the corpses and agreed with the guard beside him.
"It's good that they died. These mounted gangsters are lazy and always want to rob and plunder. They must have met a tough opponent. "Hei Zi scolded. Merchants and mounted gangsters were always on opposite sides. In the eyes of bandits and mounted gangsters, merchants were 'fat sheep'.
"This person has such a powerful saber technique. He fought against thirty-seven gangsters alone and killed them with one strike. I'm afraid he has the strength of the 《Earth Ranking》. It would be great if he could be our guard. "Old Zhang sighed.
A shout came from the front, "Everyone, hurry up!"
The merchants who wanted to join in the fun quickly mounted their horses and continued to move forward.
As the caravan moved forward, Teng Qingshan rode on the Scarlet Flame Horse and recalled the feeling from before.
"In the past, if I wanted the horse to speed up, I would have to hit its abdomen. But that feeling just now … … it was as if the Scarlet Flame Horse was a part of my body. " For example, if a person wanted to walk, they would naturally transfer a force from their waist to their thighs.
It was very natural!
Just now, Teng Qingshan naturally transferred the force from his leg muscles into the Scarlet Flame Horse, causing it to speed up.
"This is the feeling I want. The so-called 'Unity of Man and Horse' was to control the horse perfectly. But I am going to train immediately, not for control. Instead … … I want the warhorse to become a part of my body. I can control it naturally with just a thought. It is a conditioned reflex! "
… …
Teng Qingshan was immersed in how to control the warhorse according to his will. As time passed, Teng Qingshan's technique was also improving.
Teng Qingshan gradually entered an unfathomable state.
It was as if he had become a horse and was constantly moving forward. He could feel the four legs and even the surrounding heaven and earth along the four legs. Teng Qingshan was mesmerized by the realm of harmonization. This feeling was similar to when he practiced the Three Postures.
Although it was not as obvious as the Three Postures, this state of immersion was no longer a coincidence.
"Stop!" A loud shout rang out.
Immediately, all the horses in the caravan stopped one by one. Teng Qingshan naturally stopped, then opened his eyes and revealed a smile on his face. He murmured in a low voice, "Technique has entered the Dao! The skill had entered the Dao! So that's how it is … I've long touched the 'Dao', but I don't know anything about it. "
Teng Qingshan finally understood why drawing, writing, and practicing the Three Postures could harmonize the soul with the nature of the world.
The essence was — the advancement of skills into the Dao!
When one's skill reached the pinnacle, for example, the historical story of 'Butcher Ding Dismembering a Cow' in his previous life. In Butcher Ding's eyes, the cow was no longer a cow, but a skeleton and many other body parts. He could easily dismember a cow completely. He didn't need to think about how much strength he should use, where he should start, and so on. There was no need for any of them! Because everything was going to happen naturally, and success would follow the natural course. In Butcher Ding's hands, dismembering a cow was already the 'Dao'.
If one's skill continued to improve, then it would be the 'Dao'. The skill had advanced to the Dao!
At the very least, one had to have a good foundation in painting. Later on, one's skill would become higher and higher. In the end, one didn't even need to pay attention to brush, paper, and ink. One only needed to immerse one's heart and mind, and one could rely on painting to express the anger, joy, or sorrow in one's heart through the brush.
At this level, it was already the 'Dao'.
It was the same for Teng Qingshan!
From the Twelve Forms of Xing Yi to the Five Elemental Boxing, and then to the Three Postures, the Three Postures were actually very simple, but they contained the 'Dao'! The Twelve Forms of Xing Yi and the Five Elemental Boxing were training skills. When reached the pinnacle, the Five Elemental Boxing could also contain the 'Dao'. As for the Three Postures, it was the origin of Xing Yi. It contained the Dao of Xing Yi!
It was the same for riding a horse!
A grandmaster of Internal Martial Arts could control the muscles of their body to perfection, and they could easily become one with the horse when riding a horse. However, this was intentional. Whether it was dismembering an ox, drawing, or practicing the Three Postures, once intentional, it would be inferior.
This was because Teng Qingshan already had the state.
Once he comprehended it, it would be natural for him to ride a horse.
This was the principle of all techniques being interlinked!
"Haha, fortunately, I have exquisite control over every part of my muscles, tendons, and skin. Therefore, it is easy for me to reach the pinnacle in the art of riding a horse. As long as I can comprehend the last level, I can become one with the heavens and the earth. " Teng Qingshan was delighted. "If that's the case, I can train on the horse during the day and practice the Three Postures at night … … This way, my 'Spirit' will improve at an astonishing speed." Teng Qingshan was looking forward to it.
Teng Qingshan withdrew his thoughts and looked ahead.
On the side of the official road, there was a family of three. A barbarian with long hair, who was barefoot, wore tattered clothes, and had a saber hanging on his waist. There was also a thin woman and a dirty boy who were also wearing tattered clothes.
"Be a guard? Not everyone can be a guard of our caravan. "A voice came from the front.
The barbarian's eyes were like lightning as he said in a deep voice, "I will be your guard for ten taels of silver a day!"
"Ten taels of silver a day? Who do you think you are? "Many people laughed.
"Ten taels of silver. An ordinary mountain person can only earn this much in a year. You can earn this much in a day? Haha … … Do you think you are an expert of the 《Earth Ranking》? "
Teng Qingshan looked at the barbarian with interest. According to Teng Qingshan, this barbarian should be an expert. However, why was he in such a miserable state? It was fine if he was in a miserable state. Even his wife and son were in such a miserable state.
"You guys!"
The barbarian pointed at the guards of the caravan with one finger, "All of the guards, if one of you can take three moves from me, I will leave!"
His words were too arrogant.
This caused a commotion among the guards. In this caravan of a few hundred people. Most of the guards were guards. Other than the guards hired by some of the merchants. There was also a large group of guards hired by the entire caravan.
"Three moves?"
"This is big talk." All of them laughed. Although the guards were laughing, none of them stepped forward. This was because everyone knew that in this land of the Nine Prefectures, there might be a powerful figure. Don't stick your neck out. The consequences of sticking your neck out would not be good.
"Hmph!" The barbarian sneered and grabbed the hilt of his saber with his right hand.
"Clang!"
All the guards could barely see a ray of black light! When the black light dissipated, the barbarian's saber was already sheathed.
"Heavens!"
The guards looked at the ground in shock. They saw a six to seven Zhang long gully on the ground. The saber was not even four feet long, but the gully it created was six to seven Zhang long … … Obviously, the speed of the saber was too fast. It even created a blade of air that tore the ground apart.
"Expert!" The guards immediately understood that they had met a powerful expert.
"Ten taels of silver a day. From today onwards, you will be a guard of our caravan." Immediately, the organizer shouted. Ten taels of silver a day for such an expert? Even a hundred taels of silver would be difficult to hire.
"Yes." The barbarian looked around and quickly saw a handcart that was being pulled by horses beside Teng Qingshan. He immediately carried the child and ran to the handcart and placed the child on it. The woman in tattered clothes also ran over and sat on the handcart.
Then, the barbarian rode on the horse.
The caravan set off again!
"He is an expert. Where did such a person come from? In terms of saber skills, he is not inferior to the Thunder God Saber 'Wu Yue' that I met in the past. "Teng Qingshan thought to himself. The others didn't see it clearly, but Teng Qingshan saw it clearly. This barbarian … … was a powerful figure.
"Previously, I found a pile of corpses on the road. Were they killed by this barbarian?" Teng Qingshan thought to himself.
"Forget it. I won't think about it anymore."
Although the guards were afraid of this barbarian, Teng Qingshan was an expert that could kill a True Dan Innate Expert with one move. This barbarian only aroused a bit of his interest.
Teng Qingshan once again immersed himself in the feeling of riding the horse. The feeling of being one with the horse made Teng Qingshan's soul seem to be cheering.
… …
Time passed day by day.
In Yangzhou, at Green Lake.
In the evening, the cold wind whistled and the waves on the Green Lake surged. However, there was still a boat moving forward through the waves.
"Danchen, with your talent, you will definitely become the backbone of Qing Hu Island in the future … … But why did you choose to be stationed in Yuzhou and become a protector of a city?" An old man and a black-cloaked young man were sitting cross-legged opposite each other. This black-cloaked young man was Yan Danchen, who was saved by Teng Qingshan in the past.
The old man looked at the disciple in front of him and sighed.
Ever since this disciple's family was destroyed, his temperament changed greatly. He spent all his time on cultivation. Moreover, his talent was extremely high. In the past, he wasn't serious and wanted to take over his family's business. But now, he devoted himself to cultivation, and his speed of improvement was astonishing. In addition to his expressionless face and the murderous aura hidden between his brows, many disciples of the same generation were slightly afraid of this Yan Danchen.
"Teacher, the cultivation of inner strength needs time. It can't be taken lightly. There is no difference between cultivating in Qing Hu Island and cultivating in Yuzhou City. Plus … … I feel that my sword art has reached a bottleneck. It's better to go out and explore. "Yan Danchen said coldly.
"Yes!"
The old man nodded and said, "Remember, don't slack off in your cultivation! Also, go to Yuzhou and become a protector of the garrison, managing information and so on … … There's nothing important recently. Only the matter of killing Teng Qingshan was more important. If Teng Qingshan escapes to Yuzhou, you will have to waste time. However, in the Land of the Nine Prefectures, the possibility of Teng Qingshan escaping to Yuzhou is not high. Just focus on your cultivation. "
"Yes." Yan Danchen nodded.
"Yes, Danchen, the island has lost many innate experts. Your sword art has reached a very high level. Work hard and reach the innate realm before the age of thirty! "The old man said.
"Yes, teacher." Yan Danchen was always expressionless.
The boat gradually sailed away in the dark lake. Yan Danchen also left Qing Hu Island and headed to the center of the Land of the Nine Prefectures, Yuzhou.
