Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice-Chapter 9: Old Man Stealing Immortal Picture
Chapter 9: Old Man Stealing Immortal Picture
"Elder..." Su Yun's heart lifted as he quickly walked towards the figure on the bridge.
The figure on the bridge was surrounded by swirling mist, but seemed to be frozen in place, maintaining a running posture without moving at all.
Su Yun was puzzled as he unconsciously approached the figure, causing the mist to continuously dissipate and more stone bridges to appear.
As he had guessed, this stone bridge was indeed connected to one of the fairy mountains.
And the figure on the bridge should have rushed down from that fairy mountain.
Su Yun's footsteps slowed down as he cautiously stared at the figure on the stone bridge. He called out several times, but the figure on the bridge did not respond or move an inch!
The mist around the figure gradually became clearer, revealing that it was not mist, but a painting that was unfolding and surrounding him.
The painting seemed to be composed of light screens, and only the two scrolls floating behind the person could indicate that it was a painting.
The mist surrounding the person was a projection of the clouds on the painting.
What was even stranger was that Su Yun felt a familiar feeling as he got closer to the person surrounded by the painting. It was as if he had seen him somewhere before.
And the closer he got, the stronger this feeling became!
It was an old man, hunched over, but giving off an extremely tall and majestic feeling!
"He seems to be Qu Bo, the first household in Tianmen Town..."
Su Yun got closer and closer, and was naturally familiar with the first household in Tianmen Town.
Six years ago, when he was not blind, he often came out to play and would often meet Qu Bo when rushing out of Tianmen.
Qu Bo was a very kind old man who always held a chisel and hammer, standing on the shelf next to Tianmen, chiseling stones. Every time he saw Su Yun, he would also joke with him.
After the incident broke out, Su Yun could not see anything, but every time he passed by the first household in Tianmen Town, he would still greet Qu Bo.
Qu Bo could not possibly be here in Tianyun Continent.
However, the appearance of the person on the bridge did resemble Qu Bo!
Su Yun forced himself to take a step forward and walked towards the person on the bridge step by step, silently saying to himself, "He cannot be Qu Bo, because Qu Bo has always been in Tianmen Town! Qu Bo even greeted me this morning..."
He couldn't help but shiver: "The person on the bridge must not be Qu Bo!"
The person on the stone bridge got closer and closer, and Su Yun's eyes twitched as he saw the person's face.
The hunchbacked old man on the bridge was indeed Qu Bo as he remembered him!
After Su Yun became blind, he tried to recall every detail of the people he was familiar with, afraid of forgetting them. The hunchbacked old man on the bridge fit every detail of Qu Bo in his memory!
Su Yun stopped in his tracks: "The person on the bridge is Qu Bo, then who is the Qu Bo in Tianmen Town?"
Who was the Qu Bo who greeted him every morning and was kind to him?
He looked closely and saw a diamond-shaped wound on Qu Bo's forehead, which could reveal the scenery behind his head.
This should be a sword wound.
A sword pierced through his head.
Su Yun closed his eyes and saw the wound on Qu Bo's forehead. His eyes suddenly began to ache as if a sword aura had burst out from his eyes.The sound that had haunted him in his nightmares repeatedly echoed in his mind once again.
The sound of the flying bells.
It was the sword whistle made by the Xianjian breaking through the air, with countless bells connected in a line.
Six years ago, he had looked up and saw the Xianjian making the sword whistle, causing him to lose his sight! 𝓫𝓮𝒹𝓷ℴ𝓿ℯ𝓵.𝓬ℴ𝓶
"The sword that pierced Qu Bo's head was that big sword! But why is Qu Bo's wound so small?"
Su Yun endured the pain in his eyes, opened them, and murmured to himself, "Qu Bo, why did you die here? How long have you been dead? Was it six years ago? Then, who is the Qu Bo that has been with me for six years? Is he your spirit..."
Before Qu Bo died, he was still running and shouting something, but it was unknown what he was shouting. However, his right hand was spread out with five fingers, holding up a painting, as if he intended to use the painting to resist something.
The painting was made up of light screens, reflecting the surrounding scenery, but there was no content in the painting.
It was more like an extremely thin and flexible transparent mirror.
Su Yun reached out his palm and gently touched the painting. Suddenly, the picture was like a calm lake, with ripples.
Su Yun quickly withdrew his hand.
In front of him, the painting changed.
The clouds in the painting gradually dissipated, replaced by a vast swamp, stretching for hundreds of miles.
Suddenly, lightning flashed in the painting, thundering and raining heavily.
Su Yun stared blankly at this scene. The content of the painting was constantly changing, making him a little confused.
Suddenly, the swamp shook, and a giant god crocodile twisted and turned in countless thunder and lightning, shaking its head and tail, swallowing thunderclouds and lightning!
The sky was pitch black, and only the light emitted by the thunder and lightning when it erupted briefly illuminated the swamp.
The god crocodile's feet stepped on the swamp, and the tail stirred up the mud and waves. It opened its mouth as if to swallow the stars in the sky!
Its belly rose and fell, and Su Yun suddenly heard a thunderous sound like the end of the world in his ears!
That thunderous sound was the thunderous sound of the crocodile dragon transforming into a flood dragon, the thunderous sound when the crocodile dragon breathed, the thunderous sound of the metamorphosis of the crocodile dragon, and the water dragon's roar when it transformed into a flood dragon!
"Could it be that this painting can reflect what I am thinking in my heart?" Su Yun was deeply shocked.
He had just been thinking about how to practice the Crocodile Dragon's Roar and leave this place!
He was thinking about the Crocodile Dragon's Roar technique, thinking about how to construct the image of the crocodile dragon in his mind, complete the visualization, and then touch the painting, and the picture of the god crocodile crossing the tribulation appeared in the painting!
There must be a reason for this mysterious painting to change like this. The reason for the change in the painting was likely caused by Su Yun's contact!
"If it is what I am thinking in my heart that caused the change in this painting, then why is the Crocodile Dragon's Roar it shows more profound than what Water Mirror Master taught?" Su Yun wondered.
The second part of the Honglu Changes Qigong, the Crocodile Dragon's Roar, requires visualizing the crocodile dragon and emitting thunderous sound based on it.
Qiu Shuijing took them to find the crocodile dragon. Su Yun had heard the thunderous sound emitted by the crocodile dragon, but it was not as shocking as the thunderous sound emitted when the god crocodile transformed into a flood dragon in front of him in the painting!"Mr. Shuijing explained the key to the E Long Yin, mainly on the E Long Lei Yin, but the secrets revealed by the divine crocodile transformed into a dragon in the painting seem to be... seem to be more than what Mr. Shuijing said!"
Su Yun hesitated for a moment. "It seems that there are four major Lei Yin in the key to the E Long Yin."
The Thunder Tribulation Lei Yin, the Tuna Lei Yin, the Transformation Lei Yin, and the Water Dragon Yin!
Su Yun realized from the painting that there were three more secrets to the E Long Yin than what Qiu Shuijing had taught him!
"Mr. Shuijing will not be wrong, and he has no reason to hide anything. Could it be that he did not mention it because he did not comprehend it?"
Su Yun was somewhat incredulous. Mr. Shuijing was definitely a great figure. When he met other people in Tianmen Town and mentioned Mr. Shuijing, the people in the town all said that Mr. Shuijing was very powerful.
Mr. Shuijing's demeanor was extraordinary. He taught Su Yun the basics of the Honglu Shanchan Transformation Qi without asking for anything in return. It was impossible for him to hide anything.
There was only one possibility why he did not teach Su Yun the other three secrets of the E Long Yin. That was because there was only the Tuna Lei Yin in the E Long Yin, and it did not include the Thunder Tribulation Lei Yin, the Transformation Lei Yin, and the Water Dragon Yin!
In other words, the E Long Yin displayed in the painting was much more complete than what Qiu Shuijing knew!
"Or it can be said that this painting can make up for the shortcomings of the E Long Yin!"
Su Yun thought of the key point. "If this painting can make up for the E Long Yin, can it also make up for other martial arts? If it can make up for other martial arts..."
His heart was pounding.
He understood why Qu Bo had come here to steal the painting!
At this moment, the divine crocodile in the painting was transforming into a dragon in the Thunder Tribulation, and the secrets of the E Long Yin were clearly demonstrated by the divine crocodile's movements.
The E Long Chuanyuan!
The E Long Fanguan!
The divine crocodile wagged its tail!
The dragon fought in the wild!
The E Long was on the spine!
The dragon swam in the Quzha!
Su Yun had learned these six moves from Qiu Shuijing, but he had learned them as if they were not real because he had not seen them with his own eyes.
However, in the painting, although there were only six moves, under the practice of the divine crocodile in the painting, they seemed to have thousands of moves, without repetition!
Su Yun was fascinated by what he saw. The yellow bell floating above his head began to turn again. He was breaking down every movement of the divine crocodile in the painting into steps according to the time it took to complete each movement, in order to deepen his memory.
"To practice the E Long Yin, you need to have the basics of the Honglu Shanchan Transformation Qi and merge the four major Lei Yin into one in the Honglu. To achieve this, you need excellent coordination between your body, consciousness, and Qi."
Just as Su Yun was thinking about this, the strange sword whistle suddenly came again. The divine crocodile in the painting, which was crossing the Tribulation in front of Su Yun, was suddenly cut in half by a sword light and died an untimely death!
Su Yun was shocked. The sword had suddenly destroyed the six moves of the E Long Yin, and killed the divine crocodile.
The thunderclouds in the painting dissipated, and the big lake also disappeared without a trace.
"The painting is empty and can only reflect the surroundings and reflect the heart. I didn't think about that immortal sword just now, but the sword appeared in the painting. There is only one possibility!"
Su Yun's forehead broke out in a cold sweat, and he immediately looked towards the clouds and mist. "That immortal sword is nearby now!"
