Chapter 69 What is the catastrophe?
"Brother Hou, is there any problem?" Li Mu asked in confusion when he noticed Hou Ruofang's abnormality.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect. Since Sad Bi’s energy entered his body, Li Mu always felt that his six consciousnesses were much more sensitive than before.
For example, just now, you can see the subtle changes on Dongfang Li's face from a distance, or the extremely subtle look of doubt on Hou Ruofang's face is also extremely clearly felt and captured by Li Mu.
A look of surprise flashed in Hou Ruofang's eyes, but he shook his head slightly and said, "It's nothing, I just seemed to see a familiar back and I felt a little strange."
"Familiar back?"
Li Mu muttered to himself, subconsciously looking in the direction where Xiao Biyu disappeared. Que found that everyone had disappeared at the end of the long street, and could only vaguely hear the intermittent sound of horse hooves, which came into his ears along the autumn wind, and slowly disappeared without a trace.
Looking at the empty street, Li Mu felt a little lost and couldn't help but sigh softly: "Brother Hou, why do I think you are worried that something will happen to Brother Xiao?"
Hou Ruofang forced a smile, his smile seemed a little bitter, and he seemed a little disappointed, and it seemed extremely complicated. Finally, he shook his head slightly and said, "There is nothing to worry about. Brother Xiao is talented and has already practiced the eighth style of the "Nine Changes of Red Dragons" at such an age. Although it is a bit reluctant to use it, it must be enough to compete with some of the most acquired masters!"
Li Mu always felt that Hou Ruofang had something in his words, but he didn't know where to ask. After a moment of silence, he had to pick up the question he was interested in and asked: "Brother Hou, is the eighth style of the 'Nine Changes of Red Dragon' you just mentioned, which is the last shot technique that Brother Xiao used to cut off Yinyi's arm just now?"
At this time, some figures slowly appeared on the empty streets, all of whom were hiding in restaurants or inns to watch the battle. I don’t know if they were like Xiao Biyu, but they also received the so-called sad news and began to rush towards the north gate of Yunyang City.
The messy sound of horse hooves gradually disappeared, and there were no more people entering and leaving the restaurants and inns.
Looking at the long street that was regaining peace, Hou Ruofang suddenly smiled with a little self-deprecating smile, then exhaled a gentle breath, as if he had spit out the worries in his chest, and immediately swept away the previous gloomy breath, and a warm smile appeared on his face again.
Then he pointed to the burden on Li Mu's shoulder and said irresponsible: "Brother, all your belongings should be here, right? Since that's the case, then follow Hui to the escort agency, see the chief escort leader first, and then arrange for you to live. What do you think?"
"This is the best, I'm worried that I'll spend money and sleep on the streets." Li Mu was overjoyed and replied with a smile.
Then he looked grateful again and said, "It's just that my brother has troubled me."
Hou Ruofang showed admiration in his eyes, and gently patted Li Mu on the shoulder and said, "You and my brothers should not be so dissatisfied, let's go."
"Yes, I understand, I will never be polite to you in the future." Li Mu nodded seriously and said.
Hou Ruofang looked at Li Mu pretending, smiled, shrugged helplessly, and then took Li Mu slowly towards the south, saying casually as he walked: "What my brother said just now is right. The last move Brother Xiao used is the eighth style of the 'Nine Changes of Red Dragon' - Jiaotuo. I don't need to say what it means, I believe my brother can understand it."
Li Mu pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "So that's it. No wonder I feel that when I use that move, it's like seeing a dragon rolling and struggling in the sea of clouds, especially the moment it stabs at Lian Jinyi, it's like...it's like..."
Li Mu "it was like" twice, but he didn't say a suitable metaphor. He couldn't help but blush with anxiety, but Hou Ruofang felt very interesting when he was about to say it for him, but Li Mu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Damn it, I finally figured it out, I almost suffocated to death."
Looking at Li Mu who had returned to his cheerful appearance, a hint of relief flashed in Hou Ruofang's eyes, and he asked with a smile: "What have you come up with?"
Li Mu also found that he had swearing again and couldn't help but smile: "Brother Hou, don't you think that all of a sudden it is very similar to what is written in a monster novel. When a dragon or a giant snake transforms into a dragon, it will hit or rub on some cliffs to speed up the shell removal and reduce some unnecessary pain?"
"My brother is really talented."
Hou Ruofang's eyes lit up, he clapped his palms, and praised softly: "We just said that the 'Nine Changes of Red Dragon' was originally called the 'Dragon Transformation Tribulation'. It imitated the scene when the Red Dragon Transformation Transformation. It is divided into nine types of gunfire techniques such as Jingzhe, the wind rises, the waves turn, the clouds gather, the sky change, the catastrophe, the catastrophe, the catastrophe, the catastrophe, the catastrophe, the dragon transforms, and the nine-style gun spell.
Among them, the three styles of Jingzhe, the wind rise and the wave turn are the prelude to the Dragon Transformation Tribulation, which tells the way a dragon wakes up by the thunder and begins to make waves; while the two styles of cloud gathering and heaven change belong to the beginning of the Dragon Transformation Tribulation, which tells the process of the dragon's cultivation success, starting to spit out clouds and mist, and attracting the attention of the heavens; as for the two styles of Killing and Killing Tribulation, they are naturally the best of the Dragon Transformation Tribulation. If you can stand by it, you can transform into a dragon. From then on, you will be free in the nine heavens. If you can't stand by it, you will naturally be shocked to ashes by thunder and lightning, and both spirit and form will be destroyed..."
Li Mu listened with relish and asked subconsciously as he walked: "By the way, Brother Hou, I have never understood what this heavenly tribulation is? Why did the red dragon turn into a dragon have the heavenly tribulation? And what does it mean to both spirit and body destroy? When people die, what does it have to do with spirit and form."
Hou Ruofang was talking smoothly, but suddenly he was asked a little by the series of questions by Li Mu. He couldn't help but touch his nose awkwardly and said with a smirk: "Actually, I don't know. What I said is from some ancient books and secret volumes. I didn't have the chance to say it before. It's rare that my brother is interested today, so I just said it according to my script, haha..."
Li Mu couldn't help but be stunned. He opened his mouth several times without saying anything. Finally, he had to say something a little disappointed: "It's okay, it's okay, Brother Hou, you continue to say it."
After saying that, Li Mu always felt a little strange in his heart, especially what Hou Ruofang said. If he did not resist the heavenly tribulation, he would eventually be shocked to ashes by lightning. Li Mu could not help but think of the huge purple electric vortex that appeared in his dream again.
Hou Ruofang did not pay attention to Li Mu's expression, and continued with a smile: "The two types of gunshot techniques, such as Jie Sheng and Jie Mi, were originally combined into one move, and the name was "Heavenly Tribulation". It is said that when used, it was tremendously powerful, but if you want to use it intact, the conditions were extremely harsh, so it was later broken into two moves."
Speaking of this, Hou Ruofang saw Li Mu's mouth moving, and immediately said first: "Don't ask me, I don't know what the conditions are. Anyway, it's very harsh. But I thought about it for a long time and felt that it was probably related to the lightning in the sky. After all, the secret volume recorded before that, if I had not survived the heavenly disaster, I would be shocked to ashes by lightning."
Li Mu nodded silently, feeling that Hou Ruofang's idea coincided with him.
But it is still unexplainable why the huge purple electric vortex appeared in his consciousness and was finally defeated by a white light that ran across the void.
"As for the last two styles of dragon escape and transforming into dragons, it is the end of the Dragon Transformation Tribulation. It is also the most powerful and most difficult to use in the nine-style gunshot technique." Hou Ruofang walked, looking up at the clear sky and said leisurely, "It is said that as long as you practice the Dragon Transformation technique to great success, you can enter the innate realm, and from then on, like a dragon snake turning into a dragon, you will be among the masters of the secret realm, with a transcendent status."
Hou Ruofang's indifferent words immediately pulled back Li Mu's thoughts.
Seeing Hou Ruofang's face with a little regret, Li Mu couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother Hou, is there anyone who has practiced this kind of shooting technique to great success?"
Hou Ruofang let out a sigh of relief and said lightly: "No, if there were any, the Xiao family would have become a family that dominates the country like the Tang family in Yuexi. There is no need to live in the Central Plains and live a life with the royal family."
"Brother Xiao is extremely talented. Is there any possibility?" Li Mu continued to ask.
Hou Ruofang suddenly showed a hint of sarcasm on his face, and he sneered slightly, "Yes, of course there is this possibility. Not to mention Brother Xiao's talent, Brother Xiao Yuehan, the father of Brother Xiao, was almost approaching the success of the dragon transformation back then, but unfortunately he suddenly died young, hehe..."
Li Mu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and asked hesitantly: "Brother Hou, you mean someone..."
"I don't know anything, I just talk about it casually."
Hou Ruofang shook his head, interrupted Li Mu, and then said solemnly: "Brother, you must remember that even if you know something, you should pretend not to know it. Unless this matter is contrary to your principles of being a human being, you need to make a choice. Do you understand?"
Li Mu nodded thoughtfully, feeling the topic was a bit heavy, so he asked in a deep thought: "Brother Hou, you just said that I have good talent. Is it because I think this posture of the dragon taking off is like a dragon hitting the mountain when sheds her skin?"
Hou Ruofang seemed to have noticed the solemnity and uneasiness of the atmosphere, and laughed again and said, "Of course not, how can there be such a cheap thing? This is just one of the reasons."
After saying that, he frowned and thought for a moment, as if he was organizing the language, and then slowly spoke: "My dear brother doesn't know, because many martial arts are actually created by imitating some natural phenomena. This requires the founder to have rich imagination, subtle observation ability, and extremely keen perception ability.
Only such moves can maximize the power of nature, have a sign of life, not be limited to specific movements, and are the most brilliant martial arts in the world.
Therefore, descendants who practice this kind of martial arts should best have similar talents to those of the founder, or even surpass those of the founder, so that they will not be able to draw a prison and sway themselves in fixed movements of one move at a time, and eventually work hard to practice for a lifetime, and gain little."
Li Mu felt something and thoughtfully said, "For example, the Dragon Transformation Strategy used by Brother Xiao may not be able to deal with three people. If there are four or five people on the opponent, as long as the speed is fast enough, he can constantly use the force to fight and eventually kill all the opponents?"
A look of surprise flashed across Hou Ruofang's face. He stopped to look at Li Mu, and praised him softly again: "I just said that my brother is extremely talented. You don't even know how to do martial arts. You can actually see the true meaning of the Jiaotuo move. It really makes me admire you."
"This..." Li Mu felt a little embarrassed and touched his nose, "I just heard Mr. Xilou say that there is something in the world that can make a big difference. I think Brother Xiao's actions are a bit like that, so I said it randomly, hehe..."
"Mr. Xilou?"
Hou Ruofang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but he didn't care too much. He thought he was an ordinary person in the martial arts world. When he occasionally bragged in Weiyang City, Li Mu just heard it.
He nodded and continued, "There is indeed a certain similarity, but a slight effort to get rid of the opponent's attack power, but he cannot let it be used by me. Compared to Jiaotu's shooting technique, it is naturally more than just a step away.
But as my brother said, the style of Jiaobao is similar to a 4-two-two-to-one move. You must have four-two-two-two-to-one power to move the opponent's 100 pounds of strength. Therefore, the specific ability to receive the attacks of several people depends on Brother Xiao's own strength."
"So that's it, I've been taught." Li Mu couldn't help but responded suddenly.
Just as they were about to continue asking some questions, they found that the two of them were walking to a street intersection. Hou Ruofang pulled Li Mu and turned right into a wider long street, and continued to walk westward.
Stepping on the flatter bluestone road, the faint sunlight shone on the two of them again. Li Mu, who was already accustomed to the shadows, couldn't help but squint slightly and glanced at the empty street in the distance.
