Chapter 32 Nine Melao Flowers

"ah!"

Li Caiyun was simply overwhelmed by the surprise.

The second son was admitted to the Kendo Academy and has a bright future. The eldest son will soon be successfully promoted to a full-time employee. The Liang family's hard days over the years are finally coming to an end.

She quickly went to the tablet at home and lit a few incense sticks, muttering to herself, "I knew that the Liang family is full of loyal and brave people, and they will protect us..."

But seeing that the children were quite calm about it, as if they had known it for a long time, she asked curiously: "Aren't you happy for Xiaopeng?"

"Happy! Very happy!" Liang Yue and Liang Xiaoyun looked at each other and nodded repeatedly.

They both knew that Liang Peng was going to take the exam and had always had confidence in him. They had long regarded this as a foregone conclusion, so naturally there was no such surprise.

In order to prevent their mother from guessing that they had a little secret, they pretended to have just found out.

The family is happy again.

By the evening, Liang Yue finally had time to study his skills alone.

This book "Sword Domain Wandering Dragon Body Technique" only has one visualization picture. The first few pages are all about the use of acupoints and qi, which belong to the theoretical part and must be mastered. However, after mastering it, whether you can use it specifically depends on whether you can comprehend the Tao rhyme in the visualization picture later.

The text part naturally did not pose any difficulty for Liang Yue, as he was not Dachun who would get sleepy just by looking at words.

The simple notation of the body movements looks a bit obscure, and the various movements on it are very casual, with an amazing degree of folding and flexibility.

If you just look at this picture album, it doesn't look like it is for human cultivation.

According to the above records, the source of this technique is indeed non-human. Back then, the founder of the sword-controlling lineage killed a dragon by the lake and activated the Mantian Sword Domain, which almost covered the entire world. However, the demon dragon with great cultivation still found a gap to dodge, and not a single inch of its scales was scratched.

The master developed a set of body movements from it, which made him incredibly fast and agile like a dragon.

However, after the creation of the body technique, few disciples in the Xuanmen sect were able to practice it. After careful investigation, it was discovered that the physique of the Qigong practitioners was not strong enough to withstand such repeated torture, so this technique was left unused.

It was not until a few years ago that a practitioner of the sword-controlling lineage turned to martial arts and took it out from the scripture pavilion.

As his spiritual consciousness slowly sank into the picture, Liang Yue's consciousness also came to a beautiful landscape. Under the blue sky was a large green lake. In the lake, a Taoist priest in green clothes was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.

As Liang Yue gained consciousness, the Taoist priest in green suddenly opened his eyes, and the sky and the earth changed color in an instant!

The wind whistled, the lake trembled, and Liang Yue had a vague premonition. The ancestor in the visualization picture of "Hu Family Sword Technique" last time was also separated from this one by a realm.

If that one is a master, this one is at least a grand master at the pinnacle, or the legendary immortal realm!

The skills created by such a person must be extraordinary!

boom!
As the Taoist priest in green opened his eyes, a cold light suddenly shot out from the lake. It was a flying sword! Then came the second, the third... countless, tens of thousands of swords!
Countless flying swords emerged from the lake, stirring up a cold rain! When the rain fell, the endless flying swords spread out a sea of ​​swords, covering the entire mountain!

The Taoist priest in green raised his halberd finger, and the sea of ​​swords twisted into one place like a dragon, and rolled towards one place! Wherever it passed, the mountains and rivers shifted, the sun and the moon changed their positions, and the momentum was so shocking that it shook the earth!

Then came a dragon roar, "Ah——"

A ray of white light rose into the sky and rushed towards the sword field, not afraid of the awe-inspiring sword energy formation at all.

Choke, choke, choke——

Countless flying swords collided and gathered towards the white demon dragon. It changed constantly, sometimes big, sometimes small, sometimes long, sometimes short, like lightning, like invisible flowing water.

Wandering dragon!

Seeing that the white dragon was about to get closer, the Taoist in green turned his fingertips again, as if to urge the sword formation to kill the demon dragon that was charging into the formation more quickly.

Liang Yue wanted to take a closer look, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his temple.

"what……"

With a thud, he fell to the ground, feeling dizzy. After a long while, the golden stars in the sky disappeared.

"My spiritual consciousness has been overdrawn." Liang Yue's expression was not depressed at all. Instead, he was full of excitement in his exhaustion. "This technique is a bit difficult for me."

If you look closely, it's not that he can't visualize the rhyme of the Tao, but that his consciousness is not enough to support such a high-intensity visualization. Even if he can visualize the scene, his consciousness is not enough to evolve.

He was not discouraged at all, because the more difficult the skills were to comprehend, the more powerful they would be.

If one could eventually cultivate to the form of a white dragon, he would be almost invisible and invulnerable!
……

The next morning, when Liang Yue woke up, he still felt empty in his head and lacked energy. Since he started practicing martial arts, his blood and qi had been replenished, and his spirit was full. He hadn't felt this tired for a long time.

He asked for leave from the station yesterday, but still forced himself to get up because today was the day to send Liang Peng to the academy.

The Kendo Academy is located on Haoran Peak of Langyun Mountain in the east of the city. It is too far away from Fukangfang where the Liang family lives. He can no longer go to school from home every day, but has to live in the academy.

Liang Yue rented a horse carriage, and the family loaded Liang Peng's luggage on board. Li Caiyun held her son's hand reluctantly, and was about to cry: "Why is it so sudden? You're leaving right away..."

"Mom, I'll be back soon. I can come back for three days every two weeks." Liang Peng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Besides, the east side of the city isn't that far. I can still go home for dinner if I have nothing to do."

"Alas." Li Caiyun sighed, "When your father went to the battlefield, he also said he would be back soon."

"My queen..." Liang Xiaoyun hurriedly stopped her, "Xiaopeng going to the Kendo Academy is a happy event, you should say something auspicious."

Li Caiyun reminded him again: "If someone bullies you at the academy, go home and tell your mother, okay?"

"Yes!" Liang Peng nodded heavily. Even when Liang Yue drove away with Liang Peng and his luggage, Li Caiyun was still looking at the wheel tracks with a melancholy look: "Alas, Xiaopeng is a very kind person. Now that he is far away from home, I am really worried that he will be wronged."

"Mom." Liang Xiaoyun comforted: "Xiaopeng will handle it himself... Don't worry."

……

The carriage slowly left the city. The official road was lined with spring flowers, and everywhere was lush and bright. Liang Peng sat at the shaft of the carriage, and the two brothers chatted casually.

Occasionally, on the road, there would be families leading young children or teenagers walking in the same direction for an outing. They might be going to see the splendor of the Kendo Academy, where the flowers are in full bloom in spring and the students are talented.

When you get closer, you can see the majestic atmosphere of Langyun Mountain and the majestic and magnificent Haoran Peak, both of which are majestic mountains. Turning around, you can see a huge rock mural carved on a towering mountain wall opposite Haoran Peak.

The scene in the mural is a flower with nine narrow petals growing side by side, which looks a little weird.

Liang Yue's eyes moved, and he felt that the flower on the mural looked familiar, so he asked, "What kind of flower is this sculpture?"

"That's the Nine-Headed Melo Flower." Liang Peng took a look and replied, "Because it has nine petals connected to one branch, it has always been the national flower of the ancient Yang Kingdom. Later, the Nine Yang Kingdom completely split up, and no one was willing to mention this flower anymore."

"Then why is it engraved right opposite the Kendo Academy?" Liang Yue asked again.

"It was carved by the predecessors of the academy." Speaking of this, Liang Peng's expression straightened slightly.

"More than four hundred years ago, Jiuyang invaded the Yin Dynasty and occupied Liangzhou, Xizhou, and Beizhou for decades. They also continued to invade Zhongzhou. Thanks to the Daxing Emperor's ascension to the throne at a time of crisis, and then a ten-year battle to drive out Jiuyang, the Nine Provinces were saved from sinking."

"During the war, Emperor Daxing moved the capital from Qingdu Yunlu City to Shendu Longyuan City, facing Jiuyang directly and guarding the country's gates personally. At his suggestion, the Confucian Sage Founder founded the Sword Academy, which was dedicated to training Confucianists who combined the sword with the book for the court."

"The reason why the Jiuyang national flower is carved on the opposite side is to remind the students of the Kendo Academy that the enemy is right in front of them and has never been far away. The shame of Kyushu must not be forgotten."

Liang Yue listened to his story and nodded slightly.

He had heard a little about this history, but this was the first time he had seen the Nine-Headed Melao Flower.

He had seen something similar before...

It’s on the tattoo on the back shoulder of the swallowtail butterfly, but the swallowtail butterfly’s tattoo only has three flowers.

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Are there only nine of these flowers? Are there three, four, or something like that?"

"Heh." Liang Peng smiled, "Brother, why are you so obsessed with this flower? The Melo flower is born with only nine heads. Oh, yes, there seem to have been three Melo flowers in history, but it's just a logo for a chamber of commerce."

"Just curious." Liang Yue shook his head and didn't ask any more questions.

The carriage went up the mountain along the main road and was stopped in front of the main gate of the academy halfway up the mountain.

In front stands a tall statue of a scholar holding a sword, with the tip of the sword pointing at the nine-headed black flower on the opposite mountain wall.

He was also the decisive figure in the victory of the war of recovery, the sage of Confucianism.

He and Emperor Daxing knew each other when they were young and were close friends. Later, they had different experiences, but they eventually reached the pinnacle together and established a peaceful and prosperous era, which has long become a legend.

There are two lines of gold characters carved on the platform below the statue.

"You need to be old to govern a country, but young to save the world."

It is said that it was written by Emperor Daxing himself to commend the great achievements of the young scholars who shed blood and sacrificed their lives in the war of recovery four hundred years ago.

During the years when Jiuyang occupied the three continents, they tried to erase all influence of the Yin Dynasty in decades, destroying books, poems, and paintings, and killing anyone who dared to use Jiuzhou's characters.

It was countless young people who resolutely went there, spreading the culture of Kyushu through word of mouth and teaching in the territory occupied by the enemy. This made the people of the three continents remember their roots and always look forward to the king's army going north.

During this process, countless Confucian scholars died bravely.

This is the meaning of these words. To govern a country in peace, one needs to be mature and prudent, so that the country will not easily fall into turmoil and chaos. If you are born in troubled times, only the blood and vigor of youth can save the world!

The carriage slowly stopped outside the mountain gate.

A young scholar stood beside the statue with a smile on his face and said, "Junior Brother Liang Peng arrived a little early. Fortunately, I arrived early as well."

"Brother Bian." Liang Peng jumped out of the car and saluted: "Of course I have to arrive early. I dare not ask you to wait for me."

"I'm from the Bamboo Department, my name is Bian He. Junior Brother Liang Peng has just been admitted. I will take him to familiarize himself with the mountain gate in the next few days." Senior Brother Bian said to Liang Yue, "Family members and carriages cannot go up the mountain. Leave his luggage to me."

"Senior Brother Bian, I can move it myself." Liang Peng said hurriedly.

"Hey." Senior Brother Bian waved his hand, "Why bother?"

After Liang Yue and Liang Peng unloaded all the luggage from the car, he confirmed: "That's all, right?"

After saying that, he clenched his hands, and a breeze surrounded him, Liang Peng, and the luggage on the ground, and suddenly lifted them into the air.

Floating in the air, his feet were erratic. It was the first time that Liang Peng felt this kind of mystery, but he was still calm. He waved goodbye to Liang Yue in the air and said, "Brother, I'm leaving first. Be careful when you go home."

"Study hard and make progress every day!" Liang Yue urged earnestly.

Then Liang Peng flew upwards, and he drove back alone.

When going down the mountain, Liang Yue looked up at the nine-headed black-flower on the opposite cliff, his eyes flickered, and he seemed to be thinking: "Whether it is true or not, we will know it after a look."

　Good morning.
