The weather is clear, the wind is smooth, and this day is still peaceful and peaceful.

In the lower reaches of the river, there is such a special small bamboo forest, this place, is in the territory of Anzhejiang, but it is a tributary of the river, in the lower reaches of the river, such a bamboo forest is really rare.

The sunlight shines into the bamboo forest, falling on the face of a little boy in the forest, beside the little boy, there is also a little girl, this little boy looks average, but the little girl looks like a flower like jade, has not yet opened, but it is a beauty embryo, especially the big eyes, the water is smart, showing the gentleness and wisdom of the southern beauty.

At this time, in the distance of the bamboo forest, a white-haired old man, on crutches, slowly walked towards this side step by step, the old man's back, there was also a basket on his back, which was full of all kinds of fresh herbs.

Seeing the old man coming, the little girl hurriedly ran over, took the basket on the old man's back, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, you are back." ”

The old man touched the top of her head, smiled and nodded, and then walked to the little boy's side, reached out and put his hand on his wrist, and checked his pulse, and the old man said slowly: "This young man has been lying down for several days, and today is about the same, and he will be able to wake up." ”

The little girl stuck out her tongue, picked out the herbs in the basket the same way, put them together with the original herbs, and said: "Grandpa, this brother has been lying down for so many days, so he can still wake up, a normal person can't stand it if he doesn't eat or drink for so many days, not to mention that he is so seriously injured." ”

The old man put the boy's hand back in its place, then stood up, walked in the direction of the little girl, and said with a kind smile: "Little girl should be optimistic, things will always develop in a good direction, you take yesterday's medicine, change it for the young man, and make some more food, yesterday I ran a day on the mountain road, and I, the old man, am also a little tired." ”

The little girl's face turned red, and she said in a slurching voice: "Ah, change the medicine for him again, grandpa, men and women don't kiss each other, this little brother is not handsome, I won't marry him in the future." ”

The old man patted her forehead, "What are the children thinking about, the heart of the doctor's parents, this kid still has something to do with you, but now is not the time to say it." ”

"Hmm? It has something to do with me, by the way, grandpa, you said this when you rescued him a few days ago, did you know him before?" the little girl asked curiously, holding the medicine in her hand.

The old man stroked the long white beard on his chest, smiled and shook his head, "When this kid was young, I also hugged him, like this, how many years have passed, he probably doesn't have that impression for a long time." ”

The little girl took the medicine and ran to the little boy's side, and began to slowly disassemble the gauze on his body, she also said: "Big brother, you are awake, but you must remember that it was Xiao Ran who changed the medicine for you, don't forget, Xiao Ran doesn't want anything in return, you go to the drunken fragrance pavilion for Xiao Ran, buy a dozen catties of sugar fried chestnuts and come back, add more sugar, it must be fried freshly, the more fragrant the better." ”

As she spoke, she snorted and said that she was hungry.

When the old man saw this scene, he shook his head on the side, this little guy always thinks about the sugar-fried chestnuts in the Zuixiang Pavilion, is that thing so easy to buy? It is still more than ten catties, and people sell a total of ten catties a day, where to get her so much, besides, the Zuixiang Pavilion is far away in Yanjing, 108,000 miles away from here, how can it be possible to bring her back the freshly fried chestnuts.

At noon, it was already extremely hot outside the bamboo forest, but inside the bamboo forest, it was still cool and pleasant, with gusts of cool breeze blowing, and bursts of piano sound sounded in the bamboo forest.

The sound of the guqin, if the mountains, if the flowing water, its meaning is majestic, unpredictable, the pause is appropriate, the rhyme is natural, the tune is suppressed and high, the meaning is endless, the rhythm is extremely ingenious, the person who plays the piano can be said to have reached the realm of the master.

If you look closely, it is an old man, playing the guqin, with a melodious expression, gray hair, long beard, and a fairy wind and bones, like an old fairy.

And opposite him, a little boy was lying, I don't know how long he had passed out, but he was still in a coma anyway.

Next to the little boy, there was the little girl, who was still yawning and yawning, and said quite boredly: "Grandpa, your song "Mountains and Flowing Water", my ears are almost calloused when I hear it, can you play something else, hey, those top ten famous songs are terrible, no one can stand listening to them all day long." ”

The old man glanced at her, and said while playing the piano: "What do you little girl know, this qin song was sung in ancient times, after thousands of years, it has been incomplete, but it is played with internal strength, but it has all kinds of wonderful uses, such as this "Mountains and Flowing Water", which is very good for eliminating fatigue and removing the dark energy in this young man's body. ”

The little girl propped her head with one hand, and yawned twice in a row, "Say whatever you want, it's the dark energy on this brother's body, with your skills, it's easy to remove, why do you have to do so many troublesome things, play for so long, I think, you just find an excuse to play the piano." ”

The old man shook his head and ignored her.

And at this time, the little boy who was lying on the ground suddenly exclaimed, "Yu Wen! Yu Wen! Don't go, don't go!"

Then, he sat up directly, but when he sat up, he found that he was now in a strange place, and he asked, "Here, where is this?"

Immediately, the sound of the piano in his ears was still the same, and an old man's voice sounded in his ears, "This is a bamboo forest in Anzhejiang, where medicinal materials are rich and the scenery is beautiful. ”

When the man heard the sound of the piano, he rubbed his head, and suddenly felt a lot more sober, but there were also bursts of pain on his body, he didn't remember much, anyway, he was beaten by some people, but he couldn't remember the specifics.

Next to him, the little girl sitting saw him get up, and hurriedly pressed him back again, "Little brother, you don't have to worry, you still have injuries on your body, rest here for a while." ”

The man nodded, and lay down again, not remembering how he got there.

The old man's sound of playing the piano gradually stopped, and he waved his hand, "Xiao Ran, go outside to make a pot of tea, I have something to ask this young man." ”

"Hey. The little girl nodded and headed outside.

When she walked out of the clearing, the old man smiled kindly and said to the boy, "What is the young man's name, and where did he come from?"

The boy didn't think about it, and said directly: "My name is Xie Mu, where I came from, I don't really know where I came from, I remember that I was still in Guyang City before, how did I get here in a daze." ”

The old man stroked his beard, "Guyang City, it must be dozens of miles according to this, and you were fished up from the water by that little girl, then you have to float in the water for four or five days, so you can save your life, it seems that you have deep skills, young man." ”

Xie Mu scratched his head, he really couldn't remember what happened, and as for floating in the water, he didn't have any impression.

The old man continued, "I see that there are dozens of dark forces in your body, and there are even more than a dozen combined strengths, and a few heaven and earth strengths, which means that you have fought with at least dozens of acquired martial artists, more than a dozen innate martial artists, and several heavenly martial artists, and just like that, you have been floating in the river for so long, and you can still wake up, young man, you will not be a martial artist in the transformation realm, I think your bone age is only twelve or thirteen years old, if you reach the transformation realm, your future is limitless." ”

Xie Mu's face was confused, he didn't understand what the old man said, so he said with some embarrassment: "Grandpa, I know very well what you said about these levels or something, but with this kind of character, I don't have enough life for a few days, and I am dissatisfied with the old man, so far, I am only a third-order internal force, where will I be the opponent of that kind of character." ”

The old man smiled at him, "Now you can debug the internal force and see, what level is it?"

Xie Mu was stunned again, then nodded, sat cross-legged, the internal force slowly ran in the body, this luck does not matter, he found that his internal force has reached a lot, and the flow rate is much happier, he is already a fourth-order internal force level, and far beyond the fourth-order, as long as he has mastered the dark energy, he can step into the acquired period at any time, this is already the same level as Yu Wen's day, and even in the thickness of the internal force, there is still more than that.

Xie Mu opened his eyes, a little incredulous, the last time he lost consciousness, he woke up and the internal force reached the third order, this time consciousness, wake up is the fourth order of internal force, then next time, will he be able to directly reach the acquired period, this is also too strange, but Xie Mu is enjoying the current feeling very much, and it is really much stronger than before.

The old man thought for a moment before he said: "Young man, you are from the academy in Jinghai, you should be Donglin's apprentice, and the qi conduction technique on your body can't fool others, right, well, the special shape of the cocoon on your hand should be caused by long-term practice of mechanical arts." ”

Hearing the old man's words, Xie Mu was secretly vigilant in his heart, and thought about it, but he felt that he shouldn't have it, others saved him, and he was so worried about others, wouldn't he be a donkey's liver and lungs with kindness.

Xie Mu replied: "Well, the kid is indeed from the academy, and he is also Donglin's apprentice, what, old man, you have an old relationship with my teacher?"

The old man nodded, " I have met him a few times a long time ago, and have had some dealings, this person has superb internal skills, martial arts, light skills, and a mechanical skill that has led the current world for decades or even hundreds of years of science and technology, and it is like a tiger with wings, and this person may not be able to rank first in the world alone, but if it is a group battle, this person alone can reach tens of thousands of heroes, and this person is scheming, and he seems to have infinite ideas in his heart, his daughter-in-law, but also a little guy with a seven-trick exquisite heart, this husband and wife, together, is a rare strategic talent。 ”

Listening to what the old man said, although Xie Mu was still young and didn't understand it very well, he just praised the teacher and his wife, so detailed, and said that he had only met a few times, and the old man was too modest.

The old man paused and continued: "However, Donglin, this kid, his internal skills are very good, but it is not because of the result of diligent practice, but because he inherited the skills of many old people related to him, so that he reached the current state in one fell swoop, and his martial arts are also very miscellaneous, which also leads to him teaching students, generally only teaching weapons, never teaching anything else, and only teaching some basic things, and learning it, it is not interesting." ”

Hearing this, Xie Mu became curious in his heart, it seems that the old man still has some prejudices against the teacher, but what he said is also reasonable, he has only been taught one "Qi Conduction Technique" in Fanghua Valley for so many years, and even the light gong "Fanghua Footwork", which was taught by the master and wife in a good mood.
