Master Mu's eyes swept in front of everyone, and finally stopped at Jiang Li's body, and asked kindly, "Jiang Li, would you like to worship me as a teacher?" ”

"I ...... I ......" Jiang Li was stunned, he really didn't expect that the person Master Mu said was him.

Liu Qin next to him listened to Master Mu's words, he was overjoyed, he was happier than he had Master Mu's blue eyes, and he was more excited than winning a huge lottery, seeing that Jiang Li was still stunned and didn't come back to his senses, he hurriedly pushed his arm and shouted in a low voice, "Brother Ah Li." ”

Jiang Li was pushed by her, and finally recovered from his state of distraction, he was already smart, so he didn't hesitate anymore, walked directly to Master Mu, knelt on his knees, and said, "Apprentice Jiang Li to meet Master." After speaking, he seriously kowtowed three times.

"Okay, okay." Master Mu said yes repeatedly, his always stern face was full of smiles, and even his shining eyes softened, full of love.

At the same time, he stretched out his hand and raised his hand, Jiang Li only felt a force supporting himself, that force was soft but not overbearing, just like a hand pulling him up from the ground, and getting up along this force, Jiang Li secretly smacked his tongue, what kind of realm has the master's martial arts reached, and he can actually do it in the air?

As soon as Jiang Li stood up, Fang Nuo Changxing and the others came around, gathered around him, looked at him and smiled, Fang Nuo took his hand and looked up at him, "Brother, congratulations." Jiang Li felt their sincere blessings, and his heart was also filled with unbelievable joy.

Master Mu looked at the group of teenagers in front of him, smiled slightly, withdrew his hand behind his back, and after a while, he looked up at the sky in the distance, Liu Qinmin felt that Master Mu's gaze looking into the distance changed, becoming complex and deep, as if a deep pool of water had been stirred, stirring up countless waves, and there were both the relief and joy of finding a good apprentice, as well as a sadness and regret for no reason.

Master Mu, is there any sad past that reminds you? Liu Qin blinked, had an idea, ran forward with a smile, took Master Mu's hand, and shook it, "Master, master, I also want to be your apprentice." ”

At this moment, Mu Qing, who was surging in his heart, was shaken by her, and smiled bitterly when he held back his thoughts, but he didn't expect that he had practiced martial arts for many years, and he still couldn't control his mind.

Retracting his mind and looking at the quirky but lazy little girl in front of him, Mu Qing shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not easy to be my disciple. ”

Liu Qin blinked her big eyes, is this a play? Hurriedly took out what he thought was the cutest smile and said with a smile: "As long as the master says, the apprentice will definitely do it." As he spoke, he patted his chest and made a look of assurance that there was absolutely no problem.

Before she could agree, Master Mu made everyone laugh by pretending to be an apprentice, and everyone pricked up their ears to hear Master Mu's request.

"Get up at midnight every day, regardless of cold or heat, practice for an hour and a half in the morning and evening, no leave, no rest, can you do it?"

Liu Qin converted it in his heart, he was reborn for six years, and he was still not used to the ancient timekeeping, he got up at the same time, that is, he had to get up at five o'clock in the morning, it was okay in summer, but in winter, when he thought of feeling dark, shivering in the biting cold wind, he couldn't help but shudder, and practiced for three hours in the morning and evening, God, this is practicing martial arts, this is my life, it is better to let me die.

Liu Qin lowered his head in frustration, the master didn't want to accept me, making such a difficult request.

Mu Qing reached out and touched her little head, smiled, and didn't speak again. Liu Qin's eyes rolled, and he thought of an idea again, and looked up at Mu Qing, "Master, that's okay, Brother Ah Li is your official disciple, and I'll be a registered disciple, okay?" ”

"Named disciple?"

"Yes, I will be as filial to my master as Brother Ah Li, as for practicing, hehe, don't be so strict with me, master."

Mu Qing smiled, this is because he wants to be his disciple and doesn't want to practice seriously. Xiao Wu next to him thought that his father-in-law must refuse sternly, but what surprised him was that his father-in-law just smiled, neither affirmed nor denied, as if he acquiesced, Xiao Wu really doubted, is this still his cold-faced and ruthless father-in-law who was practicing martial arts?

In the following time, Mu Qing let everyone move freely, and only asked Jiang Li to go back to the courtyard with him.

Mu Qing sat on a chair in the middle of the room, Jiang Li brought a cup of tea to the master, and then stood aside, Mu Qing took the tea and took a sip, then asked gently: "Do you have any daily practice of the boxing techniques I taught you?" ”

Jiang Li lowered his hand and replied respectfully: "The disciple has practiced three times every morning and evening. ”

"Hmm. Come over here, let me see. ”

Jiang Li walked over, stretched out his right hand, Mu Qing pointed to the pulse of his wrist, felt it carefully, and let go after a while, "Although you are congenitally deficient, your acquired conditioning is quite appropriate, that set of boxing techniques is beneficial to your body, you have to keep practicing." ”

"Yes, master."

"Have you ever studied with a teacher before?"

Jiang Li shook his head, "No." ”

Mu Qing saw that Jiang Li didn't look like he was lying, and said with some doubts: "This is strange, it is said that you have a stubborn disease, if you have not practiced the authentic internal strength and mental method, it is impossible for your body to adjust to the current Cheng dù, could it be that you have taken some rare elixir?" ”

Jiang Li was also a little skeptical when he was said, but after thinking about it, he still said affirmatively: "No, I haven't taken any elixir." But when I was young, because of poor health, my mother asked me to follow the village Zhang Butcher to practice boxing and kicking for a period of time, Zhang Butcher had been in the army, will be some rough kung fu, he said that he has no ability, refused to accept me as an apprentice, but taught me a way to breathe and breathe, saying that I learned it in the army before. After I breathed a few times according to the recipe he taught, I felt that my chest was no longer stuffy, and I felt much more comfortable, and gradually felt that there was a fire in my stomach, which was very warm, so I have been practicing for so many years. ”

When Jiang Li said this, he also felt unbelievable, could this be the internal strength of the mind that the master said?

Mu Qing nodded, "That's right, the recipe you said is the internal strength method, and from what you described, it is still the authentic internal strength method, it seems that the Zhang butcher himself doesn't know." ”

Speaking of this, Mu Qing smiled with relief, "You are talented, you are a rare genius, but unfortunately you have a congenital disease, and you can't further your studies in martial arts, if you don't have Zhang Butcher to teach you the internal strength of the heart, for you to consolidate the foundation of Peiyuan, not to mention practicing martial arts, I am afraid that Yangshou will also be damaged, now that it is good, your body is almost conditioned, I will give you another gift for the teacher, take this thing, and then with the boxing method and the internal strength of the heart, you will definitely be able to do well within 7749 days." ”

After Mu Qing finished speaking, he walked to a closet, took out a delicate jade box from it, and opened the lid to see that the box contained a white lotus flower. Close up this lotus flower is less than the size of a palm, white and blue, crystal clear, as if carved from jade, its stamens are golden, and the white petals complement each other, beautiful.

Touching the heat outside, a trace of cold air rose from the box, turning into mist and wrapping around the top of the lotus flower, setting off the lotus flower as holy as a fairy.

"Tianshan Snow Lotus?"
