Chapter 15 The Sect Leader's Husband
It was late at night.
The snowstorm has stopped.
The wind and rain inside the tent have temporarily subsided.
Miss Yang nestled in Qi Ming's arms, shifting into a more comfortable sleeping position, and said softly:
"My husband, tonight I have finally experienced the joy of marital bliss. My heart is filled with boundless happiness. I fear I can never lose you again, nor can I remain alone in the ancient tomb."
Qi Ming laughed and said, "Then come down the mountain with me! We'll have plenty of time to live in your family's ancient tomb after we die."
"Husband, don't talk nonsense!"
Miss Yang retorted playfully, then asked curiously, "Which sect are you a disciple of?"
"I belong to no sect or school..."
Qi Ming embraced the girl and recounted his journey of wandering, his unfulfilled desire to join Wudang, his good fortune in meeting his master, the Fire-Worker Monk, and receiving his martial arts training.
The characteristics of the Nine Yang Divine Skill were also mentioned.
In the movie version, this martial art is forbidden for women to practice, otherwise they will become masculine.
For example, it flattens out there, grows hair on its body, and its voice sounds like an old ox...
Miss Yang laughed and said, "You are indeed very lucky. With a master to pass on your skills, you have surpassed my years of hard training in less than a month! Other people in the martial arts world will be so envious of you."
Qi Ming offered plenty of emotional support: "Martial arts skills are nothing compared to marrying a beautiful fairy like Zhi'er—that's the greatest achievement of my life!"
Miss Yang's face lit up at the news, and she showed no signs of fatigue. She then clung to Qi Ming, wanting to become one with him...
After all, he is a top-tier player.
In the original novel, Yang Guo learned the phrase "the sky is bright" from Ouyang Feng, which is why Zhen Zhibing ran away.
So don't judge martial arts masters with the eyes of an ordinary person.
In the early hours of the morning, the wind and snow returned.
Qi Ming feigned surprise: "You're actually a descendant of the Condor Heroes! Where's the eagle? Is it still around?"
Miss Yang laughed and teased, "Life is but a hundred years. Even though that eagle is extraordinary, its lifespan is still limited. How could it have lived until now? But the Xuan Tie Sword Technique it passed down to my ancestor is still in our family's possession. Would you like to practice it?"
"The Xuan Tie Sword?"
Qi Mingming asked knowingly, "The legendary iron sword was later forged by the heroine Huang Rong into a saber and a sword, which are now known as the Dragon-Slaying Saber and the Heaven-Reliant Sword, is that right?"
"Yes."
Miss Yang loved her husband terribly, and spoke candidly about it:
"Many people don't understand why obtaining these swords would grant them the power to command the world. In fact, each of them contains a metal plate. When the swords clash, they will break apart, yielding two metal plates. Engraved on these plates is a map of Peach Blossom Island in the East China Sea. If you follow the map, you can find two books: one is Yue Fei's Art of War, and the other is the Nine Yin Manual."
She then said very solicitously, "Since you want to rebel against the Yuan dynasty, you should study military strategy. Why don't I accompany you to dig them out?"
As for the Nine Yin Manual, let's not even mention it; she has it, and it's the complete version...
After all, this is the movie version, so there aren't as many twists and turns.
Qi Ming shook his head: "Military strategy is important, but martial arts training is even more important. The imperial court has bribed many experts. If we can't resist them, then no matter how powerful the military strategy is, it's useless."
"It's a pity the Xuan Tie Sword is gone. Even if you master the swordsmanship, it won't be enough... Oh right, there's still the Yitian Sword!"
Miss Yang suggested, "My family has a copy of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, which contains a Jade Maiden Pure Heart Sword Technique. It's quite powerful. Would you like to try it...?"
"Jade Maiden Sword Technique? That's not suitable! I prefer direct, forceful attacks, using strength to overcome strength, and power to defeat power."
"Let me finish! This Jade Maiden Heart Sutra requires two people to cultivate together, and there is a part for the man to cultivate! It's just that I was alone before and couldn't cultivate it, but now that I have you, I can give it a try."
The Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Swordplay is a combination of the Quanzhen Swordplay and the Jade Maiden Swordplay.
If a man and a woman are of one mind and use this sword technique together, its power is indeed great.
If one uses the technique of ambidextrous fighting, wielding two sword styles simultaneously, there will be no openings.
It's just that its power is slightly less.
Qi Ming was naturally quite interested, but he declined verbally:
"I won't learn."
Miss Yang asked curiously, "Why?"
"Newlyweds, in the throes of new marriage, how could I possibly have time to practice martial arts?"
"..."
The underground tombs of today are very different from those of that time.
There's no need to mention the additions, subtractions, and replacements of furnishings.
The most important thing is the people.
Miss Yang's parents, due to their poor aptitude and innate talent, yet their relentless practice of martial arts, had already gone mad from practicing it and passed away one after another...
She grew up alone, cared for by her mother's maid.
But five years ago, this maid also passed away.
Only two girls, now fifteen or sixteen years old, remained, serving as both her maids and her apprentices.
There are at least eight in the original work.
But movies have to consider budget, so losing six is fine.
The beautiful maid in white is named Xiao Hong, and the beautiful maid in black is named Xiao Cui.
Qi Ming had no other gifts to give, but he still had three or five pieces of jewelry that he had stolen, which he gave away.
Xiao Cui smiled and said, "What should we call you from now on? Our Sect Leader Husband, how about that?"
Seeing her bright smile and fair, lovely appearance, Qi Ming chuckled and teased her:
"We can call it that now, but in three to five years, we'll have to drop two words."
Xiao Hong innocently asked, "Did you want to be the sect leader back then?"
Xiao Cui giggled.
Miss Yang was speechless.
I have a feeling that her ancestors' past might be repeated in the future.
For ten days in a row.
Qi Ming neither practiced martial arts nor slept on the Cold Jade Bed.
He and Miss Yang enjoyed their sweet married life, composing poems and reciting verses under the moon...
Miss Yang is skilled in various musical instruments such as the yaoqin and xiao.
Although Qi Ming didn't understand much about music, he still loved listening to it.
Therefore, she hummed some ancient-style tunes from later generations, which inspired Miss Yang and fueled her creative desire.
She would then teach the new tune to her two beautiful maids so they could play it together to entertain her husband, the sect leader.
On New Year's Eve, another heavy snow fell.
But around 7 PM, the weather cleared up and the moon came out.
As the moonlight shone down, the woods near the ancient tomb became even more serene.
But soon, Qi Ming led the three women out of the ancient tomb, set off fireworks together, and spent his first Spring Festival since coming into this world...
at night.
Qi Ming suggested, "Zhi'er, starting tomorrow, I will practice the Quanzhen Sword Technique."
Miss Yang chuckled and said, "My husband has grown tired of Zhi'er? Isn't that a bit too fast!"
Qi Ming gently pinched her and said, "What are you saying? I love you enough, how could I neglect you? I'm just worried that if you get pregnant, we won't be able to practice your family's Heart Sutra together anymore."
"I see……"
Miss Yang said seriously, "But my husband, you don't know this, but when practicing the Heart Sutra, you need to find an open space and not wear clothes, otherwise the heat cannot dissipate and will stagnate in the body, which can lead to serious illness or even death, so..."
"So you can't practice during the day, lest the woodcutter stumbles in and see you, and can only spend time with me, talking about love and going to Wushan together?"
"That's right."
"..."
Qi Ming knew that these words were indeed the essence of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, and that's exactly what was written in the book.
The problem is, this is the movie version.
Shouldn't there be a difference?
Even if it were true, Qi Ming wouldn't be able to tell right now.
After all, he was just taking advantage of the situation; he hadn't even learned all the acupoints on a person's body yet!
Therefore, he obeyed Miss Yang's instructions only for academic research purposes, and certainly not out of lust for her beauty.
