Escorted by An Tongchen, the master and apprentice returned to Bixi Valley.

As soon as An Tongchen left, Lu Mingshu knelt down in front of Liu Jizhen: "Master, the apprentice has caused you trouble." ”

Liu Jizhen sighed and stretched out his hand to pull her up: "No, thank you for being a teacher." ”

Lu Mingshu raised his head and looked at him stunned.

Liu Jizhen said: "Twelve years ago, when I broke the meridians for my teacher, I thought that I was a waste person in this life, and no matter how many years I had left, it was empty. Day after day, year after year, like walking corpses. However, your Uncle An woke me up. He lowered his eyes to look at the child in front of him and said softly, "I feel like a wasted person, but for you, Master is dependent." You have been bullied and framed, and if you don't even stand up as a teacher, there will be no one to protect you. ”

Lu Mingshu burst into tears: "Master!"

She hugged Master's waist and let herself howl and burst into tears. Since her mother died, she has never cried like this again. Tears are only valuable if people care.

Liu Jizhen gently stroked her hair and let her cry. In the past four years, she has been too depressed and too desperate, almost forgetting that she is still a child.

When the crying gradually stopped, Liu Jizhen patted her head: "Okay, go wash up, and we'll talk later." ”

"Hmm. ”

When Lu Mingshu washed off his dust, changed his clothes, and went to see Liu Jizhen, he was taken aback.

"Master!"

Standing in front of her, Liu Jizhen was a complete stranger. He changed out of the cloth clothes of the carpenter and put on the robe of the head of the courtyard. The long hair was washed and draped over the shoulders obediently. The mustache has been shaved clean, revealing well-defined features.

The most important thing is temperament, the former Liu Jizhen, the whole person is full of boredom, as if everything in the world can't arouse his interest. And Liu Jizhen in front of him is tall and high-spirited, just like he saw in Jingyi Academy before, no one can ignore his existence.

This kind of Liu Jizhen reminded Lu Mingshu of the legendary martial arts genius who was proud of Jiuyao Palace.

Seeing Lu Mingshu, Liu Jizhen smiled slightly: "Come on." ”

Lu Mingshu walked over and sat down across from him. Seeing him carrying a pot and pouring water, he hurriedly took it: "Master, I'll come." ”

Liu Jizhen let go, just like that, smiling, watching her busy.

Waiting for the hot tea to start, Lu Ming Shu'an sat down, he took a sip, and asked, "Have you ever leaked the news of the sect?"

Lu Mingshu was stunned for a moment, and quickly understood that he was asking about spring hunting.

She replied, "No." "No matter what, as long as she is still a disciple of Jiuyao Palace, she will not do anything to sell the sect. When she met Yan Wugui, she never mentioned the internal affairs of Jiuyao Palace, the existence of the beast cave, Yan Wugui knew from the beginning that it was not she who leaked it, and later it was Yan Wugui who took her into the beast cave.

Yan Wugui said something wrong before, what she hated was not Jiuyao Palace, but Fu Shangqing and the Zhou family. Therefore, Yan Wugui plans to sabotage, she likes to hear about it, but that's all.

Liu Jizhen nodded slightly: "As a teacher, I didn't save you wrong." ”

Lu Mingshu looked up at him: "Master, are you going to re-emerge?"

Liu Jizhen was stunned when he was asked, and then laughed: "What is the reappearance of the rivers and lakes? I have lost all my power now, and I am just an ordinary martial artist." It's just that I figured it out, I don't want to be involved in the wind and waves, but the wind and waves will involve me, and it's useless to retreat. ”

Lu Mingshu thought to himself, Master Xuan Li had lost all his strength, but he was still able to rely on his exquisite skills to restrain Zhou Yinru, a fusion realm martial artist, in an instant, I don't know how amazing and brilliant he was back then.

I heard Liu Jizhen sigh again: "In the past twelve years, the sect has really become more and more degenerate. In the past, it was possible to maintain a superficial balance, but now it is ...... Let one of your children take responsibility. ”

Lu Mingshu was stunned: "What?"

Liu Jizhen laughed mockingly: "Do you think that you are a junior disciple of the Inner Rest Realm, why are you in charge of the Labor Sect, the head of the Jingyi Academy, and the two elders? Zhou Yinru doesn't have such a big face." ”

Lu Mingshu was confused: "Master?"

"It's good that you know these things, after all, as a teacher, your cultivation is lost, and I can't protect you too much. Now that the sect's infighting is becoming more and more intense, this spring hunt found the beast cave, and the harvest was very rich, and what followed was the problem of benefit distribution. Being infiltrated by outsiders and stealing the spiritual root of the leyline, Fu Zhangmen will definitely be accused of improper command. Zhou Yinru is holding on to you, although there are reasons to vent her personal anger, but it is also the meaning of making excuses. Everyone knows that you have a holiday with the Zhou family, and if you push it on you, they have a reason to shirk their responsibility. ”

Seeing that Lu Mingshu was stunned, Liu Jizhen smiled: "I'm scared? I will tell you again that the most critical reason why I can save you is not how good my eloquence is, but that they are afraid of the Shengyang and Liulin lines." We ascended to the first vein, and we were biased towards the Yutai vein, because I destroyed the meridians, and there were no outstanding talents in the first vein of the ascending yang, so I rarely interfered in the affairs of the sect. And the willow forest lineage, you know, they never take sides. If I come forward, I can't protect you, maybe I will anger the rest of the Shengyang lineage. We have had grandmasters in this line, and their face is still there, and they don't dare to offend them to death. As for the Liulin lineage, yesterday your Uncle An was waiting outside, which meant to express your position. ”

The Yutai lineage is the faction where Yuwen Shi belongs. Liu Jizhen talked about it in detail, and Lu Mingshu finally understood. Saving her seems simple, but it is actually a factional game.

"However, Zhou Yinru is too unseemly! When I was a child, I was just arrogant, but I didn't expect to become more and more paranoid. ”

Lu Mingshu clenched his fists: "I'm not afraid of her, sooner or later, one day, I will surpass her!"

Liu Jizhen flicked her forehead: "No interest! She's almost thirty, and she's still in the fusion realm, compared to her?"

Lu Mingshu immediately changed his words: "I want to become a master like Uncle Zhuo!"

"That's pretty much it. Liu Jizhen put down the teaglass, "Come, tell me about your progress." ”

"What?"

"How far have you cultivated your Xuan Strength, and how far have you practiced your swordsmanship?"

"This ......"

"If you don't know how to say it, show me a walkthrough. ”

In the past four years, Lu Mingshu has spent most of her time exploring by herself, although Zhuo Jiangui will check her progress every once in a while and give a little guidance, but after all, he just ensures that she will not go the wrong way. She learns a lot of things, and it's not systematic.

After practicing the "Cloud Treading Sword Technique", Lu Mingshu put the sword back into its sheath, and when he saw Liu Jizhen frowning, he couldn't help but be worried.

"Master, did I practice wrong?"

"That's right. Liu Jizhen sighed, "However, the way you closed Ning Yuan was wrong. ”

Xuanli cultivation needs to condense the true element in each pass, which is the knot condensation element. All the tricks are boiled by the Xuan force, condensing one by one, and finally, all the tricks are connected, which is the fusion realm.

If the way of closing the condensation element is wrong, it will definitely slow down the speed of entering the fusion realm.

"Also, where did you learn your Xuanli operation?"

Lu Mingshu was nervous when asked: "I learned from books, Master ......"

Liu Jizhen thought for a while: "Individually, it is very mysterious, but it is all fused together, and it needs to be adjusted." ”

Hearing him say this, Lu Mingshu breathed a sigh of relief. She learned a hammer in the east and a fist in the west, mixed together, but fortunately there was no problem.

"Teach you a set of swordsmanship for the teacher, and practice it every day from today. In addition, suspend the Guan Qi Condensation, except for the normal internal breath cultivation, everything else must be stopped, understand?"

Lu Mingshu was overjoyed: "Yes, Master." (To be continued.) )
