Chapter 63: Huashan’s First Achievement: Traveling Alone for Thousands of Miles "How much effort did you put in just now?" "Less than 30%. How much effort did Sister Lin put in?" Lin Chaoying had no expression on her face: "I contributed 50% of my effort." "Ahem." Ouyang Feng coughed dryly and changed the subject. "Wanyan Tieshu's palm power is soft and gentle, with hidden strength. He may be practicing some kind of soft palm skills. Since his last name is Wanyan, he is probably one of the three clan masters." Lin Chaoying nodded slightly: "His elder brother Wanyan Yinshu, in addition to being the commander-in-chief, should also be one of the three clan masters." "There is another one. I guess his name is Wanyan Tongshu. He is the second brother of Wanyan Tieshu." Lin Chaoying smiled and said, "I guessed that, too." Ouyang Feng said calmly: "But maybe we are all wrong. Maybe Wanyan Tieshu's second brother is called Wanyan Erdan." Lin Chaoying burst out laughing at his serious and joking appearance, and rolled her eyes at him playfully: "Although the Jurchens were barbarians who came out of the white mountains and black waters, they have long been civilized now. Have you ever read the poems of Wanyan Liang? He is already a famous poet. Who among the royal family of the Jin Dynasty would have a name like Wanyan Erdan? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?" "I'm just guessing. Anyway, Wanyan Tieshu seems gentle and easy-going, but I always feel that he is a smiling tiger. What do you think, Sister Lin?"
"Yes. The Jin government never cares about the lives of civilian warriors. As a master of the royal family, Wanyan Tieshu should not take civilian warriors like us seriously. But he said that he was worried about misjudgment and ruining our future and lives. It's really hard to believe his sincerity." "So Sister Lin also thinks he has evil intentions?" Lin Chaoying frowned slightly, "I just can't understand what evil intentions he could have in testing our skills." Ouyang Feng said, "It doesn't matter. Even if Wanyan Tieshu has hidden his power, even if he has hidden 30% to 40% of his power and only used 60% to 70% of his power, with his palm power, if he dares to face me head-on, I can kill him within ten palm strikes." Lin Chaoying laughed and said, "What fool would fight you head-on for ten palm strikes? After the first palm strike, if he senses your ferocious power, he should change his fighting style." The two talked about Wanyan Tieshu for a while, and Lin Chaoying suddenly said: "Do you have any idea about the inherited martial arts of the Huashan Sect?" "I do have some ideas. Sister Lin, please help me think about it." Ouyang Feng pondered for a while and said: "Huashan is famous for its treacherous terrain. It is very inconvenient to climb up and down the mountain, and it requires disciples to have strong lightness skills and leg strength. In addition, I believe that survival is the most important thing when traveling in the martial arts world. Before learning to fight, you must first learn to run. Therefore, the basic skill for entry into my Huashan Sect is lightness skills. The disciples' entry training must be the same as the Shaolin disciples, climbing up and down the mountain every day to collect firewood and carry water, and practice lightness skills..." Lin Chaoying smiled, "Your idea is not bad. If you can't master Qinggong while practicing in Huashan, it will be inconvenient to even go up and down the mountain. But your martial arts are fierce and violent. You are invincible and you will not show mercy to others when you have the upper hand. But you don't see the concept of survival first and learning to run before fighting." Ouyang Feng chuckled and said: "I haven't always been like this. Several years ago, when I was thirteen or fourteen years old, I used to fight and run, and even ambush and attack the enemy." Lin Chaoying thought about it and realized that who hasn’t been weak before? When you are weak, the first thing is to preserve your useful body. He smiled and said: "So what kind of entry-level Qinggong skills do you plan to teach your disciples?" Ouyang Feng said: "I will use the family tradition of light kungfu 'A Thousand Miles in a Moment' as the main body, absorb and integrate some of the dragonfly skimming water lifting technique, some of the Xiaoyao school light kungfu breathing method, and other light kungfu essences, to create a light kungfu that can be used to train basic internal strength from the outside in." Many light kungfu entry requirements are not too high, and you can start with zero internal strength, and use the corresponding breathing method to cultivate internal strength from the outside in. For example, the dragonfly skimming water lifting technique and Lingbo microstep are all like this. Ouyang Feng's family tradition of traveling a thousand miles in a flash, a light skill that mainly involves bursting and sprinting, does require internal strength. After all, without internal strength, one cannot burst into speed. However, Ouyang Feng focused on his own school and learned from the strengths of many schools to create a breathing method that matched the new light skill, so that this new light skill can be learned from zero foundation, and one can cultivate internal strength from the shallow to the deep.
Lin Chaoying asked: "So what do you plan to name this new Qinggong?" Ouyang Feng thought for a moment and said: "Let's call it 'Walking Alone for Thousands of Miles'." "Wanli Duxing" is a good name, but unfortunately it was ruined by Tian Boguang. Ouyang Feng had to register first, to prevent another flower thief who dared to call himself Wanli Duxing from appearing in the future. "Wanli Duxing?" Lin Chaoying also thought that this name was quite good, and said with a smile: "Tell me about your idea of creating a new skill. My unique light skill is also good. Let's see if I can help you." Ouyang Feng pondered for a while, and in his mind emerged all the light skills he had practiced: a thousand miles in an instant, dragonfly skimming the water, Lingbo microsteps, Xiaoyao Sect's ordinary light skills, various leg techniques related to leaping and moving, and even some of the light skills in the world of the peerless twins that Lian Xing had shared with him... He was naturally intelligent, had profound martial arts knowledge, and was very clear-headed. With just a thought, a light skill based on "traveling a thousand miles in an instant" took shape. Afterwards, he told his ideas one by one, explaining the entry-level basic training method of "Wanli Duxing" including footwork, lifting and leaping, sprinting, breathing, etc. While listening to his narration, Lin Chaoying used her own understanding of Qinggong to help him fill in the gaps. The two of them sometimes discussed and sometimes argued, and occasionally they stood up and moved around in a small area in the tent to compete and put their respective concepts into practice. In this way, with the joint efforts of the two masters, the first Huashan skill named "Walking Alone in Ten Thousand Miles" was gradually perfected from its initial form. By sunset, the basic footwork, lifting, leaping, sprinting, breathing and other methods in the entry stage had been completely completed, and even a small part of the various methods for advancing to a higher level had been created. Although this light skill was not created from scratch, but was based on Ouyang Feng's own "A Thousand Miles in an Instant" as the main body, with drastic changes made to the branches and leaves, and also drawing on the ideas of many other schools, its training method, effect, and even the derived internal force are all very different from the various light skills practiced by Ouyang Feng. It can be completely regarded as a brand new light skill, and there is no problem in taking it as the first skill of the Huashan School. Both of them are somewhat obsessed with martial arts. They can easily become absorbed in talking about martial arts and don't notice the passage of time at all. It was not until they heard footsteps outside the tent that they came to their senses and stopped talking. A female voice sounded outside the tent: "Young Master Lu, Miss Lin, Master Tieshu has sent a maid to invite you two to the welcoming dinner." Ouyang Feng and Lin Chaoying opened the door curtain and walked out of the tent. They saw that the sky outside was full of stars and the moon. Inside the camp, a campfire was also lit, illuminating the interior. Looking at the woman who came to invite the two to the banquet, she was a woman in her early twenties, with a round face and big eyes, and dressed in black with a long sword on her back. Ouyang Feng said politely, "Miss Lao came to invite you personally. May I ask your name?" The woman in black said, "I don't deserve it. My surname is Xiao, my name is A Jiao, and I am the maid of Master Tie Shu." Last name Xiao? Are they descendants of Xiao family of Liao Dynasty again? Ouyang Feng thought to himself and said, "Thank you, Miss Xiao." He and Lin Chaoying followed Xiao Ajiao to the banquet. (End of this chapter)
