Chapter 24 Sword Dance
Ning Qingyu raised his eyebrows and looked at the golden phoenix carefully.
Seeing that he was breathing deeply and his eyes were shining, it was obvious that he had made great progress in his internal energy. He could not help but nod his head, with a little more approval in his expression.
"Since you are confident, then when you have nothing to do, you can practice the Huashan swordsmanship you have learned."
"If you use it well, Master will reward you and teach you all those sword techniques."
"If you don't use them well, don't worry about those moves. Just go back and practice hard."
Jin Renfeng couldn't help but feel happy.
"Disciple accepts the order."
Then he drew out the fine iron sword and was about to demonstrate his swordsmanship.
"We can't perform in this hall, let's practice outside the hall."
Jin Renfeng was about to move but was stopped by Ning Qingyu.
He slowly stood up from the armchair, his old body trembling slightly.
Yue Buqun stepped forward to stop him, but was pushed away by Ning Qingyu.
"Don't try to stop me. It's not time for me to die yet."
Yue Buqun dissuaded him,
"Master, you are injured. It is the middle of winter now, the weather is cold, and the mountain wind is strong outside. How can you bear it?"
"It's okay. Although my body is weak, my Zixia internal energy is very powerful. A mere cold is no problem at all." Ning Qingyu said in a deep voice.
Ning Zhongze also advised,
"It is New Year's Eve now, and all of us at Huashan have gathered in the Zhengqi Hall. What's wrong with harmony and perfection? Even if Feng'er wants to display her sword skills, this hall can accommodate her. Why do you have to go outside?"
"I just feel bored in this hall, I want to go for a walk outside!"
Ning Qingyu smiled bitterly, with a hint of pleading in his tone.
"The pain of this sickbed is worse than the pain of a sword. My dear daughter, please allow me to be willful this time!"
Then, regardless of the Yue and Ning couple's attempts to stop him, he slowly walked out of the hall.
Seeing the master walk out, the group had no choice but to follow.
Several people came out of the hall, and they didn't know when snowflakes started falling outside.
It was dark outside the hall, with only the red light of the lanterns dimly lighting up.
In order to illuminate the view, Yue Buqun and his two disciples lit a bonfire outside the hall.
For fear that his father would catch a cold, Ning Zhongze put several more coats on the elderly Ning Qingyu.
"I'm fine, no need to bother."
The old man complained and said,
"It's time for you to appear on stage."
"Disciple accepts the order!"
In the firelight, a tall golden phoenix was seen standing.
In the chilly air, a cold light flashed, and then the sword technique was performed.
Several months of internal energy was added to the long sword, and the blade made a hissing sound as it broke through the air.
Snowflakes danced, moving with the shape of the sword, like thousands of stars.
The wind blows hard and the frost is cold, the clouds part and the moon is revealed, which is surprising.
The wind and thunder passed for half a day, and the stars were cold all night.
White clouds emerge from the mountains, a white rainbow pierces the sun, a golden geese flies across the sky, a phoenix arrives, and golden geese fly across the sky.
Jin Renfeng used all kinds of Huashan sword moves as easily as his own arms.
Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze were extremely surprised. Let alone anything else, this internal strength alone should not be underestimated.
Judging from the sound and momentum of this sword technique, it must have taken him seven or eight years of practice.
"Good! Good!" Ning Qingyu became more and more delighted the more he looked at it, and he uttered words of praise from time to time.
He was a member of the Qi sect, so his excellent swordsmanship alone was not enough to surprise him, but his profound inner strength made him extremely happy.
Various exquisite sword techniques were displayed, and Jin Renfeng gradually fell into a state of ecstasy.
The green light was flashing, the sword paths were crisscrossing, and a long sword was waved like a full moon.
When Linghu Chong saw this, he was horrified.
He and Jin Renfeng became disciples together, and they always had the idea of competing with each other, but he didn't expect that this fellow disciple had reached such a level without him noticing.
Thinking of his own barely-started internal strength, Linghu Chong couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart. Seeing his disciple's exquisite use of the sword, Ning Zhongze was delighted and shouted softly.
"Ren Feng, what's the fun of practicing sword alone? Let Master's Wife practice with you."
Then she drew out her sword, flashed into the arena, and stabbed out with the sword.
Seeing his master's wife taking action, Jin Renfeng did not dare to be careless and swung his sword across the air to block it.
Two figures were fighting in one place, some high, some low, their figures intertwined.
In order to test Jin Renfeng's sword skills, Ning Zhongze had already suppressed his internal strength, which made the power of their swords similar.
With his master's wife as a powerful enemy, Jin Renfeng used all of his Huashan sword skills.
Ding, ding, dang, the swords collided, making a crisp sound of metal.
Ning Zhongze took action with the aim of guiding the swordsmanship, and his sword was directed at the flaws in Jin Renfeng's swordsmanship.
Jin Renfeng discovered the flaw and his swordsmanship improved.
After more than 20 moves, Jin Renfeng was still strong. But after 30 moves, he started to feel a little overwhelmed.
Even so, Jin Renfeng felt a great sense of satisfaction in his heart.
"It seems that my previous focus on hard training was indeed a mistake. My sword skills can only be improved through fighting with others."
Seeing that his swordsmanship had improved greatly in such a short period of time, Jin Renfeng couldn't help but think.
"It's just that this sword technique is easy to find, but this opponent is hard to find."
Inadvertently, Jin Renfeng saw Linghu Chong standing aside.
It suddenly dawned on me.
Isn't there a swordsmanship genius here? He's also the protagonist. He can hone his swordsmanship and brush up on the power of cause and effect. It's killing two birds with one stone!"
The two exchanged more than fifty moves, and Jin Renfeng gradually became exhausted.
The sword light flickered, flickering unsteadily.
Ning Zhongze's sword was flying, and the long sword stabbed straight into the flaw in his chest. Jin Renfeng blocked it with his sword, but he lightly picked it up and the long sword slipped out of his hand.
The sword finally stopped at Jin Renfeng's throat.
"Master's divine sword! Disciple surrenders!" Jin Renfeng said with a fist.
Ning Zhongze put away his sword with satisfaction and said,
"Feng'er, although there are still many flaws in your swordsmanship, it is rigorous and orderly. Your internal strength is not bad either."
"What you said before is true. You are now qualified to learn the Boundless Falling Tree."
"Indeed, if we don't teach this kid, it will delay him."
Ning Qingyu was very pleased to see that his disciple had a promising future.
"God has really been kind to Huashan. It has allowed me to see this unicorn child when I am about to die. It is truly a blessing."
"Buqun, this boy wants to learn swordsmanship, so you should teach him. Although the sect's rules are important, you should not delay this talented person."
"Disciple knows." Yue Buqun bowed.
The more Ning Qingyu looked at Jin Renfeng, the more satisfied he became.
"Zhongze, go get a hundred taels of silver and give it to this kid. On this New Year's Eve, let us enjoy the sword show, but don't let him waste any effort."
Ning Zhongze hesitated and said, "Dad, I will give you the silver as a reward, but isn't this 100 taels a bit too much? The child is still young, and if he takes so much money, it's bound to cause trouble."
"This kid is a man of his own ideas. He doesn't care about a small amount of money." Ning Qingyu said indifferently.
Seeing her father had made up his mind, Mrs. Yue no longer objected. She went into the inner hall, took out the silver, put it in a red envelope, and handed it to Jin Renfeng.
"Thank you, Master, and thank you, Master and Madam."
Holding the money in his hand, Jin Renfeng looked happy.
As the saying goes, a penny can make a hero fall. Without money, nothing can go smoothly.
Now that I have this hundred taels of silver, things will be much easier in the future.
Not to mention anything else, just buy some snacks and toys for my junior sister, and she will have a source of causal power.
After the swordplay practice was over, everyone returned to the room. By the time Linghu Chong said the auspicious words, it was almost midnight.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, Yue Lingshan insisted on setting off fireworks and firecrackers and cried non-stop. Seeing that she couldn't stop her, Mrs. Yue asked Linghu Chong and Jin Renfeng to take her out to play.
Silver flowers and fire trees bloom in the festival, purple air and red light surround the jade platform.
The crackling sound of fireworks and firecrackers added a bit of liveliness to the top of Mount Huashan.
