"What, what?" Yan Ling was stunned and stammered, "Of course not! What do you say? I'm not a saint, how can I be as good to everyone as I am!"

He Jianshuang crossed his arms and said condescendingly: "So, why did you sew and mend clothes for him? You are very good with him?"

How can I feel like I was being interrogated, and I was still a little damn weak-Yan Ling's forehead silently hung two drops of cold sweat, and said in one go: "Uh, this--Actually, when I first came to the Artemisia Mountain Sect, I didn't have any friends, and Senior Brother Qin Bai helped me a lot." So, I also want to repay him, sewing clothes is just a gesture, so I'll help by the way. However, the person who is the best person with me is definitely not Senior Brother Qin Bai - the person who is the best person with me, isn't it you? You are the person with the best relationship and the most important person in the Artemisia Mountain Sect, so no matter what you say, you are the priority in my heart, and I will choose you without hesitation!"

When he heard Yan Ling say, "The best thing I want with me is you", He Jianshuang's dissatisfaction from nowhere had disappeared - in fact, he couldn't figure out why he had such sudden fluctuations, He Jianshuang lowered his eyes, calmed down this inexplicable feeling, and turned his head and said, "That's it this time, let's go." ”

Yan Ling breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Mmmm, okay." ”

Mei Yanzhi was not as strict as Yan Ling thought, and he would not appear in front of them all the time.

In his private life, Mei Yanzhi keeps a distance from every new disciple, and will not be like Yu Yiqing and others, hooking up with new disciples, looking like two brothers-including Yin Ling, who was married to him, has not received special treatment. However, relatively speaking, he will not be stingy in teaching his juniors martial arts, he will help if he can, and he will be serious and responsible.

In Yan Ling's heart, such a mysterious thing as martial arts was originally elusive. But in the world of the book, all qiē are fictional, and all qiē are possible. She had already tried the magical experience of transforming into a divine beast, so Yan Ling quickly suppressed her awkwardness and doubts, and learned according to what the Artemisia Mountain Sect taught - in this world of swords, swords, and shadows, learn two more skills, and if you don't do it at a critical moment, you can survive.

It's also interesting to say, the martial arts in this world are not as exaggerated as film and television dramas, but are more inclined to the contest between cold weapons. Take light power as an example, the light functions in film and television dramas fly around exaggeratedly, and they don't fall off after playing in mid-air for three days and three nights. But in this world, the so-called light power is the martial arts to reach a certain level to do, in the case of borrowing points, can make people as light as swallows, fly eaves and walls, and realize the rapid transformation of space. A person of profound attainment can walk on the surface of the lake. But this light work cannot ignore the rules of physics. For example, if you want to descend from the top of a cliff to the bottom of a cliff, it is completely achievable as long as there is a cushion of footholds. But, on the other hand, flying from the bottom of the cliff to the top of the cliff is nonsense.

After studying for about a month, Yan Ling felt that she had touched a small corner of the door of martial arts. It will take a lot of time to truly appreciate the vast martial realm in it. If you can really learn anything before you leave here and go back to the real world, it's a bonus.

The Artemisia Mountain School is famous for its sword style, and every disciple has to practice it layer by layer. Because of the high requirements for movement, speed, and weight, the basic skills of the disciples of the Artemisia Mountain School are also very solid. This means that the previous basic exercises of the Zama step and the 1,000-meter run must continue.

In the second month, the sect began to arrange a new practice for the disciples - Yanshan Weight Run, which was supervised by the senior brothers in charge of each other, and the departure time was to be determined.

In the afternoon of that day, in front of the open space at the main gate of the Artemisia Mountain Sect, Yanling sat on the stone pier and carefully tied the weight-bearing bag to her slender calf.

It's been three days since I started practicing running with weights - hell, it's a triathlon! Yanshan is uneven, and it takes at least two or three hours to run a lap, with dirt roads and stone stairs. Every new disciple had a slumpy face, and Zhang Fan in the same group looked like he was prostrating after every run. Yin Ling was not much better than him, and every time he came back with a beautiful little face. [Candle]

And Yanling can still accept it - in fact, thanks to the fact that this body is not given by humans, the physical function is simply amazing. Although she had to die or live when she ran, after resting, she was soon a good man again.

I wonder how long this training will last?

was wandering, and suddenly saw Mei Yanzhi walking towards him, and everyone hurriedly got up: "Hello, senior brother!"

Mei Yanzhi nodded calmly, and then gently put the thing in his hand on the stone ground in front of He Jianshuang. Yan Ling took a closer look—it was actually a new pair of load-bearing equipment. Mei Yanzhi said: "Senior Brother He, from today onwards, your load will be heavier. ”

He Jianshuang was stunned for a moment and said, "Got it." ”

Yan Ling raised her eyebrows - Mei Yanzhi's expression was so calm, it didn't seem like she had a holiday with He Jianshuang. Then, he deliberately came to aggravate He Jianshuang, probably because he felt that the current weight was completely insufficient for He Jianshuang's ability.

Does this mean that he has been observing their practice? He Jianshuang is probably a junior with excellent qualifications and worthy of his cultivation in his heart. If only that's the case. You must know that Mei Yanzhi is the envy of the sword saint in the martial arts at the end, and doing what he says is definitely proneficial.

What surprised Yanling a little was that the original text did not write in such detail about the interaction between He Jianshuang and Mei Yanzhi during the Artemisia Mountain faction, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have known that He Jianshuang when she was a teenager was actually quite favored by Mei Yanzhi. The relationship between people is really mysterious.

However, the current Mei Yanzhi probably didn't expect that his junior brother, who he admired, would bring a bloody storm to the Artemisia Mountain faction in the future.

Yan Ling's mood became heavy again. Yu Yiqing of Hang'er Langdang, Qin Bai of the cute elf, Zhang Fan who looks like prostration every day, and Ying Yunlong Zhenren who doesn't ask about the world...... These living lives, in the future, will be wiped out overnight.

Although, the only way for her to leave this world is to wait for He Jianshuang to usher in his end. And to usher in his end, He Jianshuang must leave here and go to the Tianxiao Sect. And if you want to go to the Tianxiao faction, the incident of "the Artemisia Mountain faction was slaughtered" is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.

Could it be that in order to leave this world, she has to sit idly by and watch so many lives being killed? No, she is now a member of the Artemisia Mountain Sect, and she cannot stay out of the matter, since the Artemisia Mountain Sect is "the whole sect was slaughtered", then it is very likely that she will be involved, and even become a ghost under the knife.

Whether it's compassion or self-preservation—is there any way to bypass this bloody hurdle without letting the overall plot go astray?

Yan Ling held her forehead, couldn't think of a reason, and decided to put it aside first-that's it, there are still three years before that tragic incident, during this time, let's see the walk.

Training began.

She and He Jianshuang entered Yanshan together. Yin Ling has always run the other way, Zhang Fan and her group, followed in a hurry, and soon disappeared.

In the late spring season, Yanshan Xinye, everything flourishes. The fresh aroma of trees wafted through the forest, sweeping away the depressed breath in Yanling's chest. The calf seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, but the speed of the two did not slow down.

After running for half an hour, the back of Yanling's clothes was already soaked and sweaty. It's really romantic to jog in the mountains with the teenage villain every day...... (╯‵□′)╯(┻━┻

Seeing He Jianshuang, she couldn't stop at all like eating Xuanmai, so she had to stop He Jianshuang half-deadly: "He, He Jianshuang, stop for a moment, I'm so tired." He Jianshuang gasped lightly, stopped according to his words, and fanned the wind with his hand. When the sun was in full bloom, Yan Ling said, "Let's go to the shade under the tree over there, rest for a while, and then go on the road." ”

The two sat under the tree, this tree is a big tree that can only be surrounded by three people, leaning on the trunk, Yanling breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to speak, when suddenly she heard the conversation of two people behind her-

"Li Cheng, what is the origin of that He Jianshuang, it seems that he came back a little later than you that day, but he was able to enter the senior brother's door, but you only entered the third senior brother's door. ”

He Jianshuang raised his eyes. Hearing the key name, Yanling knelt down and sat up first, looking out of the grass.

Two young men dressed in the uniforms of the disciples of the Artemisia Mountain Sect walked up, and among them, the one who was called "Li Cheng" was the honest looking and the first preparatory disciple to come back. However, at this time, the expression on his face did not match the honesty, and the thief smiled: "You don't know this, I have inquired, his parents are unknown, and it is said that he was born from an unknown third-rate small opera troupe." ”

The other party smiled meaninglessly: "Tut-tut, the troupe...... It is said that many peddlers are flowing back and forth between the Western Regions and the Central Plains in the name of theater troupes. He was young, and he didn't know if he had been treated in any way. ”

"This troupe is only the first way, and I heard that he also met horse thieves later. ”

"Oh, it's really a bad fate, evil star......"

Yan Ling behind the grass was so angry that her hands were shaking - people can't look good, she never expected that when she was in the Artemisia Mountain faction, He Jianshuang would be said to be like this behind her back - what a dirty slander this is, it has become a joke after tea and dinner for others without any basis, and I don't know if it will be spread. Moreover, the name of the evil star has already been bred at this time?

Not only that, but this matter was also heard by the parties involved.

Yan Ling looked at He Jianshuang worriedly, her hair blocking his eyes, only to see that his jaw line was tight, and his hands under his sleeves were slowly, slowly clenched into fists.

It's not good now-Yan Ling hurriedly picked up a round pebble from the ground, rubbed it, there were no sharp corners, stuffed it into He Jianshuang's hand, and said in a low voice: "He Jianshuang, calm down, don't be like them." ”

He Jianshuang is only a half-grown teenager now, and his martial arts are not as powerful as they were later. If you rush out and make trouble immediately, you are not absolutely sure, but it is easy to suffer, and you will end a grudge in advance.

The cold and round pebbles instilled a bit of calmness into his heart. When the footsteps of the two people were far away, He Jianshuang said in a low voice, "Why did you stop me?"

Yan Ling thought for a while, squatted in front of him, and gestured seriously: "I stopped you just because I didn't think there was any need to be angry at other people's nonsense. Besides, I know you're angry right now and want to hit them. However, there are two of them, and we only have you to fight, and the combat power is not equal. Moreover, if you punch it out like this, it will be light and fluttering, and it will not solve the hatred at all, and it will cause trouble. Therefore, we should withdraw our fists, accumulate more strength, and fight out at a better moment, so that we can convince the other party and dare not fight back. ”

He Jianshuang was silent for a moment, suddenly chuckled, raised his head, and his eyes warmed up a lot: "You're right." ”

Yan Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly there were two muffled thunders overhead, and it didn't take long for the bean-sized raindrops to fall from the sky, and there was a tendency to evolve into a downpour.

Now it is too far to return to Artemisia Mountain, and it is not realistic to run back in the rain.

Yan Ling blocked the top of her head and said, "What should I do? Standing under the tree will be struck by lightning." ”

A smile flashed in He Jianshuang's eyes, and he got up: "Come with me, find a place to shelter from the rain first." ”

Yan Ling nodded, she didn't see that when He Jianshuang got up and let go of her hand, the pebbles in her hand had broken into a puddle of powder, which was gently sprinkled in the humid air.
