Chapter 8 Tai Chi Pile in the Moonlight
Wolves basically never walk alone.
At this moment, Cheng Ling, who was standing on the spot holding a crossbow, saw nothing, but could clearly feel that the shadows in the mountains and forests ahead vaguely concealed countless murderous intentions!
Cheng Ling didn't dare to act rashly, he just raised his crossbow and made threatening movements.
She knows that wolves are very smart animals.
Since the wolf that launched the tentative attack before died so easily, the wolves following it are likely to hibernate immediately.
They are not about to give up their prey, but must be waiting for the opportunity in dormancy. As long as Cheng Ling is relaxed at all, these unknown numbers of ferocious beasts in the darkness will inevitably pounce quickly and mercilessly kill the mother and daughter.
Eat it into your belly!
Cheng Ling lowered his voice and ordered: "Auntie, take the eldest and second sisters up the tree first."
Mu Sanniang's hands were shaking a little. Before she was injured and fell into coma, she was originally the backbone of the family. During the escape, the three children would obey her no matter what they did.
As a result, after waking up this time, Cheng Ling, who had always been somewhat silent, seemed to be completely reborn and suddenly became very assertive.
Like a real man, she shouldered the burden of the family in times of crisis!
She is obviously the youngest, and she is also a charming girl.
Mu Sanniang wanted to persuade Cheng Ling not to be aggressive, but she also knew that her delay would probably bring greater trouble to Cheng Ling.
Therefore, although Mu Sanniang went through thousands of times in her heart, she finally did not say a word.
She just held the hands of Cheng Dani and Cheng Erni, one on the left and the other on the right, and said: "Dani and Erni, let's retreat!"
About two feet behind and to their left, there happened to be a big tree.
Cheng Dani and Cheng Erni were both obedient, and the three of them backed away carefully. After just a few steps, they retreated in fear.
When they got to the tree, Mu Sanniang pushed her, and Cheng Erni quickly climbed onto the tree.
She hooked her legs on a tree branch nearly three meters above the ground, hanging upside down to pull Cheng Dani. Cheng Dani was held by Cheng Erni with one hand, and Mu Sanniang was behind her to help, and she quickly got on top.
Tree.
The two sisters came to visit Mu Sanniang together again. Mu Sanniang was worried about Cheng Ling and couldn't help but look back at Cheng Ling the moment she climbed up the tree.
At this moment, the branch that Cheng Erni had hooked suddenly made a subtle click.
Cheng Erni was startled and shouted: "Aniang!"
Mu Sanniang quickly hugged the trunk of the big tree with all her strength.
But Cheng Ling, who heard the movement behind him, was already affected and could not help but tilt his head slightly.
In the night, a strong wind suddenly rose.
"Ouch!"
It's a pack of wolves, attacking at this moment!
Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!
At the same time as several figures pounced with the fishy wind, the crossbow arrow in Cheng Ling's hand was launched almost at the same time.
This is a modern compound crossbow with the function of rapid firing.
The compound crossbow's quiver can hold five crossbow arrows at a time. Cheng Ling had fired one before, but now there were four arrows left. She didn't hold back at all, and fired all four arrows at once.
"Woo..."
The wolf's scream was accompanied by the thud of the wolf's body falling to the ground.
Suddenly, four more wolf corpses appeared in front of Cheng Ling.
This level of ferocity is enough to scare the wolves away.
Even the carnivorous beast couldn't help but feel frightened at this moment. As the leader wolf howled, the rest of the pack sprang out from the grass.
At this time, the waning moon, which had been hidden by the clouds, slowly revealed half of its face.
The moonlight poured down like frost and snow, illuminating the shadowy mountain forest.
A pair of wolf eyes were like green will-o'-the-wisps in the moonlight, making Cheng Erni on the tree behind her sweat dripping with cold sweat. However, she just clenched her teeth, fearing that if she made any more noise, she would hurt Cheng Ling in front of her.
This is a silent confrontation.
Five wolf corpses are the most powerful deterrent, which prevents the wolves from attacking easily.
A wolf is a wolf after all. No matter how smart the animal is, it will never know that these five arrows are Cheng Ling's limit.
If she wants to fire arrows again, she must refill the quiver. And a confrontation with a beast is often just a time to refill the quiver, which may make the difference between life and death!
Cheng Lingbian just maintained the posture of raising the crossbow, while her steps and standing posture changed slightly without leaving any trace.
After all, this body is not strong enough. After Cheng Ling traveled through time, although his strong spirit and superb skills made up for many of his shortcomings in strength, he seemed to have extraordinary martial arts skills.
But in fact, the strength she can exert now is not even one-tenth of what she was at her peak.
Just like now, in the confrontation with a pack of wolves, the first thing she felt was not a lack of willpower, but a physical difficulty.
Her physical strength seemed to be reaching its limit!
Cheng Ling's method is to transform ordinary standing postures into stances through subtle movements of the body and slight adjustments in posture.
The practice of traditional Chinese martial arts emphasizes the external training of muscles, bones and skin and the internal training of one breath. Among them, the importance of internal training of one breath is even more important than the external training of muscles, bones and skin!
Zhuang Gong is a method of refining qi from the outside in, with the inside and outside unified.
Through exquisite stances, Cheng Ling can not only save physical strength, but can even unify his own energy from the outside in.
Cheng Ling then breathed slowly and visualized Tai Chi.
She majored in Wing Chun, but the stance that has always laid the foundation for her was Tai Chi.
The Tai Chi pile combines hardness and softness, and yin and yang go hand in hand, which is the authentic Taoism. For modern martial arts practitioners, the practice has a health-preserving effect, which can make the martial arts life of the martial artist more vigorous and long-lasting.
The rhythm of Cheng Ling's breathing is gentle, which coincides with the softness of Tai Chi. However, the current situation and atmosphere are actually extremely tense, and a crisis is imminent. This is another sense of strength.
When softness and hardness unified each other, Cheng Ling's state of mind reached a different kind of sublimation in this strange state of crisis.
She was not in a hurry, but at this moment, the moonlight suddenly brightened slightly in the sky.
This level of brightness may seem to others to be just a slightly lusher moonlight, not something unusual.
But here in Cheng Ling's case, he clearly felt that there seemed to be a strange energy projecting from the moonlight like flowing water.
Hazy, this energy flowed into her body along her breath and pores.
She, is she absorbing the essence of moonlight?
As soon as this thought came out, Cheng Ling suddenly felt blessed.
She raised the branch in her right hand, and the Tai Chi Sword's starting position was swung from her hand at this moment.
Among the wolves, the alpha wolf seemed uneasy. He suddenly raised his head slightly and howled softly.
Cheng Ling moved his wrist, and the branch came out of his hand. The newly gained strength flew along the branch at the same time.
Under the moonlight, a ray of light cuts through the space, tsk!
