Chapter 12 Lonely Mountain Cloud Sea Cave

There was a small figure several dozen feet above the Sword Falling Waterfall in Cangjiantan. He was holding a wooden stick and jumping around. No one knew what he was doing.

At the entrance of Qiancao Valley, it was the turn of "Moyun Sword" You Chunpeng and "Flying Phoenix Sword" Qin Chunyu to be on duty today. You Chunpeng and Qin Chunyu had just replaced Lu Chunyang and Hua Chunsheng when they saw a figure jumping around there. It was very interesting.

"Is that kid having a seizure there?" You Chunpeng poked Qin Chunyu's arm and pointed at the figure on the rock in the middle of the waterfall and sneered.

Qin Chunyu rolled his eyes, curled his lips in disdain, and then laughed strangely: "This kid is weird all day long, maybe he is practicing martial arts, haha!"

"I am very curious, this kid has no internal strength, how did he climb to such a high place?"

"Who cares how he climbed up? Isn't it better for him to play there? If he runs around outside every day, won't we have to suffer with him? I am too ashamed to be a bodyguard and follower for such a loser."

"That's right, damn, since taking this job, our four swords seem to have become inferior to the three heroes for nothing. If it weren't for Elder Feng's willingness to give five Qi Gathering Pills every month, even if the leader of the alliance pressed me down, I wouldn't take this job."

"Elder Feng accepted a monkey disciple, which is also fun, haha!"

...

There is not much open space in Qiancao Valley. Wu Yan searched for a long time and finally found such an open and hidden place on the waterfall.

This waterfall falls straight down and falls into the Hidden Sword Pond. The cliff is so steep that even a Qigong master may not be able to climb it. However, Wu Yan still found a secret path and climbed up.

What made Wu Yan excited was that there was a different world on top.

The waterfall was cut into two parts here, turned a little, and fell again. Looking up from below, it was basically difficult to see that the waterfall was cut into two parts. But when you get up here, you can clearly see this.

This protruding rock is about ten feet wide and flat. It is simply an excellent natural training platform. Next to the waterfall, there is a natural stone cave the size of two stone houses. There is also a different world inside the stone cave.

The Falling Sword Waterfall is like a water curtain, which just covers everything in the stone cave in the north. On the other side of the stone cave is a cliff about a hundred feet high. The sun shines into the stone cave from the other side of the cave, making the stone cave very bright. This natural cave is well ventilated, has abundant water and sufficient light. It is simply the best natural cave for cultivation.

Wu Yan found such a wonderful place and immediately made a decision. This would be his secret cave for practicing in the future. However, in order to prevent others from finding this place and disturbing his practice, he decided to think of some defensive measures in a few days. He remembered that there seemed to be a book in Feng Lao's study that recorded books related to the maze formation.

Now he is practicing Fengyun Nine Swords on the big rock.

This set of swordsmanship has a total of nine routines, each of which has twelve variations, a total of 108 variations. And every three routines form a chain sword style, namely "Wind and Thunder Strike", "Cloud and Smoke Change" and "Wind and Cloud Stab".

Although Wu Yan started practicing martial arts for the first time, he also remembered the martial arts taboos that Feng Lao usually told him. In fact, these taboos are just the principles that experienced martial arts masters have realized from their daily lives.

The first taboo of martial artists is to bite off more than they can chew. Human energy is limited, and it is impossible to learn all martial arts moves at the same time. It has to be a gradual process, and you have to understand the principle of practice makes perfect.

Wu Yan is now next to the waterfall, using a wooden stick as a weapon, clumsily practicing the first routine. After a morning, he barely remembered the twelve variations of this routine and could perform them one by one, but what made him speechless was that it seemed that this set of swordsmanship had no power. And it was difficult to connect the movements, which was very awkward.

The first day passed in anxiety. When he was tired of practicing, he sat on the rock, cross-legged and meditated, practicing the nameless formula to conserve his energy.

Wu Yan firmly believed that nothing is difficult in the world if you are determined. As long as he is willing to work hard, he will be able to learn this set of Fengyun swordsmanship. Although this set of swordsmanship does not seem to have much power at the moment, since this set of swordsmanship was able to shock the heroes in the hands of the sword fanatic Feng Jiuxiao more than a hundred years ago, it must have its extraordinary features. It's just that he hasn't mastered the skills yet and hasn't been able to comprehend the tricks.

In the following days, he spent most of his time practicing the Fengyun Nine Swords routines by the waterfall outside the stone cave. The rest of the time, while continuing to practice the first level of the nameless formula, he copied down the "Mysterious Formation Collection" in Feng Lao's study and began to study it carefully.

He seemed to have completely forgotten the world outside the valley and never went out again. In fact, it's not that he didn't want to go out, but going out would be boring, ridiculed, and troublesome. He was actually very proud in his bones and didn't want to be looked down upon.

More than three months passed in boring and monotonous practice.

That day, Wu Yan stood at the door of the stone cave, looking at the cave that he had transformed by himself, and he finally smiled with satisfaction.

Below the waterfall, twelve stones as big as human heads were placed in specific positions according to a certain pattern. The torrent of the waterfall fell down, like flying jade hitting the twelve stones, and it strangely scattered and produced a large amount of fog.

The large amount of fog produced in this way was strangely gathered halfway up the mountain, forming a sea of ​​clouds and fog that just covered the entire rock.

Standing in Qiancao Valley and looking here, this place is now completely covered by pieces of sea of ​​clouds, and the protruding rocks here can no longer be seen.

…

Lu Chunyang and Hua Chunsheng, who were on duty at the entrance of Qiancao Valley, were originally chatting casually. Lu Chunyang accidentally looked up at the waterfall, exclaimed in surprise, and said in surprise: "Second brother, look, why is there so much fog in the middle of Luojian Waterfall? I remember that there seemed to be a huge rock protruding there before. That kid often ran up to play during this period."

"Hey, yes, why did the fog suddenly appear? It's really strange. Big brother, how about going up to take a look?"

"How to go up? Go ask that kid? I'm not interested."

"Hehe, I'm just talking. If I have that time, I might as well practice internal skills by standing still. Big brother, I have finished the Qi Gathering Pill that Elder Feng gave me before leaving the mountain. How many do you have?"

"I finished mine yesterday. Unfortunately, I'm just a little bit short of opening up the eight extraordinary meridians and becoming a first-class master. Alas, where did Elder Feng go and why hasn't he come back yet?"

The two continued to chat there.

...

After more than three months of hard work, the effort was finally not in vain. Wu Yan can now set up several simple maze formations, and has memorized all the routines of Fengyun Jiujian, and he has practiced all the movements to perfection.

He has practiced very well, but he still can't connect the changes one by one, let alone combine three different routines into a chain sword style.

"It seems that the Fengyun Jiujian should have a set of corresponding footwork, otherwise, how can these sword moves not be connected together. What a pity, I will go out again and see how other disciples connect them." Wu Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head, sat cross-legged, and began to practice the nameless formula again.

He has now unceremoniously occupied this place as his own practice cave, and even gave this stone cave a very nice name, and carved this name crookedly with stone on the cave entrance behind the waterfall - "Gushan Yunhai Cave".
