In the early morning, Li Yan woke up from his dream. It was already slightly bright. He opened his eyes in a daze and saw that it was an unfamiliar environment. The roof was no longer the familiar one, but some were already dark black wood. Instead of the beams, it was a flat blue-black roof. He was confused for a moment. He slowly turned his head and looked around the room again, only to realize that this was no longer the old house he had lived in for more than ten years. He couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart. After a period of unfamiliarity and loneliness, he took a breath, sat up expressionlessly, walked to the table and opened the window. A refreshing coolness blew in from the open window, which made him feel refreshed.
Looking from the window, the valley is surrounded by peaks on three sides, towering straight into the already dark blue sky. In the faint sky, a few stars are shining down from the sky with a trace of morning light. Black and blue vines and shrubs spread upward from the bottom of the valley, crouching in layers, like the undulating back of a monster. Birds chirped in the valley, with a hint of emptiness and crispness.
Nearby, there is indeed a pool behind the stone table outside the window. A thin layer of mist hovers above the pool, like a layer of gauze covering it, and like a dense cool air rising up.
Li Yan stood in front of the window in shock and looked outside. After standing for a while, he felt much calmer inside. He turned back to the bed and got dressed, opened the door and walked out, turning to the left. I glanced at the doors of several rooms to the side and saw that all the doors were still closed, so I stepped lightly and walked slowly towards the pool.
After arriving at the pool, Li Yan found that the pool was about four or five feet wide and oval in shape. On one side of the pool, there were two or three springs flowing slowly down from the top of the mountain. Along the way, the stone walls are soaked in smooth water, and the roots of many vines along the way have been exposed. The roots swing with the clear spring water from top to bottom. There are lush green moss on both sides of the water flow, forming a natural natural landscape. There are several clear springs descending from the top of the mountain.
The surface of the pool is rippling slightly, soaked in many gravels on the shore, causing ripples on the water. Silks of white mist are circling above it, just like a few white transparent ribbons, and the water is clear , but I don’t know how deep it is. Just looking down, the water becomes quiet, dark and cold.
Li Yan knelt down, picked up a handful of pool water, and washed it on his face. The fresh water penetrated into his skin, and his skin could not help but feel a shiver, but it was very pleasant.
Li Yan stood up and looked towards the south side of the water pool. Only then did he realize that there was a large area on the south side of the water pool that looked like a vegetable garden and a flower bed. He was waiting to take a closer look. , a voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "That area is just some vegetables and wild flowers that I planted when I had nothing to do."
Li Yan was startled when he heard the sound, and quickly turned around to look for the sound. But he saw a man in black robe standing between two stone tables in front of a row of rooms at the back, looking at him with a smile.
"Old...Teacher" After Li Yan saw the person clearly, he quickly turned around and saluted, and said, "It's a student who disturbed the teacher's rest. Please punish him."
The man in black robe is naturally the third army division, and the third army division asks himHe waved his hands and said, "Master, I've been up for a long time. I'm just meditating in my room and practicing."
"This valley is so big. You will have plenty of time to get familiar with it, and a servant will bring you breakfast soon." Now, after you wash up and finish your meal, come to the teacher's room."
Li Yan quickly replied, "Yes, teacher."
After finishing speaking, Master Ji gave him a gentle smile. , then turned around and walked back. Li Yan looked at the teacher's back, and somehow he felt as if his parents loved him as much as they did in the old house at home, and he felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart.
Not long after he returned to his room, the woman from last night brought breakfast. It was light, including a few steamed buns, a few dishes of side dishes, and a large bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge. Li Yan ate it very delicious. Even these ordinary foods are rare for him at home. He just thought about what the teacher asked him to do, so he ate very quickly.
After breakfast, Li Yan hurriedly walked to the first stone house at the entrance of the valley on the east side. When he came to the door, Li Yan saw that the door was not closed. The teacher should be waiting for him, so he stood He said outside the door, "Teacher, my disciples are here to greet you."
"Oh, you're here, come in." A gentle middle-aged man's voice came from inside, and Li Yan walked in. The room was about the same size as the one Li Yan lived in, and it was also There is a large wooden bed on the north side, a four- or five-story bookshelf on the west side, but it is full of books. There are also some simple toiletries on the east side, but the difference is a low table placed in the center of the room. On the carpet, there is a pair of guqin placed on a low table. It has a simple style. There are a few spots on the body of the guqin, but it is very smooth. It looks like it has been touched for a long time.
There is a small and exquisite furnace tripod in front of the piano, with three sticks of fragrance inserted in it. The clear smoke slowly floats upward from the tips of the three sticks, and there is a faint smell of sandalwood lingering in the room. People have peace of mind.
The person behind the table was dressed in a black robe, with his hands folded in his big sleeves, sitting cross-legged, looking at Li Yan with a smile on his face. He was none other than Master Ji.
"Come, sit down at the table." Master Ji Jun raised his right hand from his sleeve, pointed at Li Yan and pointed to the carpet in front of the case. Li Yan quickly walked to the carpet, took off his shoes and knelt down to face the teacher. These etiquettes were taught to him by the old scholar before. Master Ji couldn't help but smile when he saw him like this.
"Li Yan, today I will tell you some things about our sect." Master Ji Jun said after seeing Li Yan sit down.
"Yes, teacher, I am all ears." Li Yan looked at the teacher and replied respectfully.
"The name of our sect is the 'Muying Sect'. It was founded six hundred years ago, but it has not been born for generations. It is usually hidden in the mountains and is not known to the world. The martial arts of our sect has been updated It is a secret that is not passed down, and the requirements for practitioners are very strict. Looking for disciples is like looking for a needle in a haystack. There have only been two or three disciples in the past, but in my generation, I am the only one who has learned martial arts very well. Although his martial arts skills cannot be said to be unparalleled, he can still be said to be unparalleled in his generation. "Ji Jun Shi Wen.The voice came slowly, and he paused for a moment.

Li Yan listened attentively and said in a low voice, "Yes, when I entered the city, I heard someone say that the teacher felt like he was in a deserted place among thousands of troops. With such magical skills, But it's also unheard of."
Master Ji smiled and said, "In the future, if you practice hard, your achievements may not be as good as those of my teacher." After hearing this, Li Yan quickly said, "Teacher's words are serious. How can a disciple be on par with the teacher? No matter how hard he practices, the teacher must be getting better and better, and there is no way he can catch up."
The third master smiled and said, "I must be proud of the world. You must not be like this."
Li Yan did not dare to say any more and nodded "yes".
The third division commander went on to say, "There is a reason why I came out of the mountain this time. In addition to our martial arts skills, our Muyingmen's predecessors have studied herbal medicine very deeply. For hundreds of years, generations of The ancestors studied the art of grass and trees in the deep mountains. Although they were not born in the world, they had the experience of traveling in the world. At the same time, they also used pots to help the world, relieve diseases and save people in danger. This is also the practice of the sect in the past. If you cannot use what you learn, It's useless, martial arts is just a means of self-protection for us to travel around the world."
Hearing this, Li Yan couldn't help but feel awe in his heart, thinking, "It turns out that besides martial arts, our sect has such blessings. The actions of the people are actually decent."
"My teacher also practiced and traveled based on this path. Unfortunately, five or six years ago, when I went into the mountains to collect medicine, I was accidentally injured by an unknown poisonous insect. After several months of healing, I recovered. It did not get better, but worsened. I had no choice but to visit many friends and famous doctors. Although their medical skills may not be better than my teacher, who knows whether they know the origin of this poison. If they know The origins of this insect may be known, and it may not be impossible to know how to get rid of this poison. However, contrary to expectations, no one recognizes this poison. As the poison slowly erodes the internal organs, I still cannot find the antidote. I can only use my power to temporarily suppress this poison, but it can only be suppressed for seven or eight years. It has been about six years now, and I can't find a way to detoxify it during this period. That can only be said. This is what fate is."
Li Yan was shocked when he heard this. Then he looked at the teacher's pale face with a hint of blackness, and couldn't help but change his face and said, "The teacher thinks so. I haven't found a way to detoxify him, otherwise he wouldn't look like this."
Ji Junshi nodded and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of life and death."
Li Yan asked anxiously, "What should I do?"
Master Ji stretched out his hand and waved to him and said, "Haha, don't be impatient, young master. This is why I was born as a master. I want to find a disciple." , the inheritance sect, otherwise if the inheritance is broken here, how can I face the previous leaders and seniors under Jiuquan, alas! It’s just that because of the overbearing mind of this sect, people with special physiques cannot be suitable. If I practice it forcefully, willIf the meridians are reversed, there is no doubt that you will die. It is really extremely difficult to find such a person. If our sect was looking for disciples in the past, the sect leaders would have to travel around the world and help the world while looking for suitable people. Although people with this kind of physique are difficult to find, in this vast world, they will eventually It is possible to find him, but if I followed the previous method of searching for disciples within the sect, I would not have the time. Later, I only thought of this method and came to the army. There were many men in the army and they were strong and strong. I thought that the opportunities would be greatly increased. "
After Li Yan heard this, he thought to himself, "It turns out that the teacher came to the army to better find his disciples. I think that the teacher's weird silver needle pricking method yesterday was to find this special physique. method. "However, thinking of the pain in the abdomen, a feeling of fear arose in my heart.
As if seeing through his thoughts, the Jijun division said to him, "This special physique is an invisible physique. It is impossible to activate using our methods. Although it is inevitably painful when activated, it is also a prerequisite to ensure the cultivation of our mental method. I have been in this army for five or six years, and these dozens of However, Wan Dajun was also looking for them, and it took him a long time to find two people. One was found last year, and the other is you. "
Li Yan was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself, "Two people? Aren't there just me and the teacher in this valley? At the same time, Chen An and Li Yin didn't mention it yesterday. Except for the teacher's bedroom and the training room next to it, they had entered the other two houses, and he also lived in one of them. "Thinking of this, there seemed to be some impression in my mind. After thinking about it carefully, I suddenly remembered that when I was thinking randomly outside the tent on the school ground yesterday, the teacher and Marshal Hong were talking. Marshal Hong seemed to say something like "What I learned last time" Someone or something..."
When Ji Junshi said this, he saw Li Yan was stunned, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, "Hong Linying also mentioned this matter yesterday, why? He still had an abrupt expression. "But after thinking for a moment, he understood the reason, but he didn't know that Li Yan didn't hear what Marshal Hong said yesterday at all.
"Are you thinking that you didn't see what the teacher said? Is the other person weird? In fact, I still have to tell you this. "At this point, he took a slow breath and continued, "That person should be your senior brother. He was found for the master at the beginning of last year, and then he became a member of our sect. Do you still remember that after testing your physical fitness yesterday, the teacher asked you if you had read any books? "
Li Yan nodded in agreement, he naturally remembered this.
"Your senior brother has never read a book. After getting started, I thought that under my personal guidance, It can be practiced, but I was impatient for a while and underestimated the tyranny of my mental method. After your senior brother practiced for more than a month, when he went into the city to discuss matters with the commander, he used the method he had just learned without authorization. However, due to insufficient understanding of the follow-up cultivation method, his energy and blood were reversed. When he came back as a teacher, he had already..., alas."
Jijunshi said this. Showing guilt and regret, "This is also my fault for being a little impatient. The poison in my body has never been able to stop me."After being relieved, my health is getting worse and worse, and I can’t help but feel a little anxious about the inheritance of the sect. In addition to the personal guidance of the master, this sect’s mental method also needs to comprehend the mysteries word for word, line by line, and then combine it with my own body conditions. , slowly guide the inner energy to walk, step by step, but this time the teacher was too confident and taught it personally, which was safe, but in the end it made an irreparable mistake. "As he said this, tears flashed faintly in his eyes.
When Li Yan heard this, he was shocked and said in his heart, "It turns out that the person who was found earlier is dead. Yesterday, Marshal Hong seemed to say that he was more qualified or something. So it seems that my qualifications are better than those of my senior brother who died young? This cannot be compared with a dead person. If that senior brother had better qualifications than me and ended up like this, wouldn't it be even more unbearable for me? "Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on his back.
He looked up at the teacher, muttering something about how he might not be able to practice, but when he saw the hidden look in the teacher's eyes With tears and a trace of hope in his eyes, he felt embarrassed again. This was a fatal job, and he couldn't help but feel uncertain. After a long time, he thought in his mind, "If you shrink back like this, you may be sent directly back to the village by the teacher. Then How to face his parents? Even if he is better, he will have to return to the army and start as a small soldier, but he will still have to fight on the battlefield. He still can't decide whether he will live or die. Neither of these two outcomes is what he wants. It's better to give it a try, not to mention that I am familiar with it in a private school. If I can't understand it when I study and comprehend it in the future, I will never continue to practice rashly. Besides, the reason why the teacher is as invincible as the legend is because of his extraordinary ability. Isn’t this the dominance of our martial arts? There is nothing in the world that comes without hard work. "Thinking of this, his eyes towards the teacher gradually became firmer.
Ji Junshi looked at him and understood what he was thinking. He also smiled comfortingly, and then continued, "Since After that incident happened, I actually didn’t have too many expectations as a teacher. I didn’t have enough time to find the right person. It was too elusive. Who knew that the sky had eyes, but before I died in depression, there was another bright future. ”
