In the middle of the night, the bright moon hangs in the sky, shining brightly.

Xiao Nan turned over and got out of bed, glanced at the sleeping Xiaobai, quietly slipped out the door, bypassed the bamboo courtyard, and walked towards the back mountain.

Nanli Mountain is very large, and it is impossible to distinguish where the words "Bamboo Courtyard Back Mountain" are alone. However, Xiao Nan guessed that since Master Cheap was sure that he could find it, it should be related to the scene when the two first met.

He thought to himself, and quickly walked to the place where the fire had been burning. At that time, the fire was full of fire, burning several miles in a radius, and one of them was the most tragic, and it is still silent, and no green shoots have been born.

And this is the position of the palm of the cheap master to slap out the fire.

"Cheap master, cheap master, where are you?" Xiao Nan swept away a wooden stake, cocked Erlang's legs and waited.

Unexpectedly, Lao Tzu actually looked away. A deep voice suddenly came from behind him, which frightened Xiao Nan.

He hurriedly turned around, and suddenly showed surprise on his face, only to see the tall figure of the cheap master standing under the dead tree, with a face towel covering his face, just like the dress of the day.

I don't know how many times this scene came to mind, but it was a year late.

"Master, Master, Master—" Xiao Nan cried and ran over, hugging his thigh and not letting go, for fear that he would run away, "Master, the apprentice wants to kill you!"

"What are you doing, what are you doing! Lao Tzu is not dead! I see that you don't want to kill me, you want me to die!" The masked strong man kicked him away, his face was gloomy, "If you want to apprentice, just stay honest with me, don't fix these things that you don't have! Drunken Xiao Jiu stands up to the sky and the world, and his name is spread all over the world, how can you give birth to a lazy person!"

"Hey, who called Master, you are so charming, I can't help it, I can't help it, I can't help it......" Xiao Nan casually rammed nonsense, thinking in his heart: "You don't have such thick thighs to hug, you are stupid to me! Don't think about slipping away this time, I'll rely on you!"

"Hmph! If you raise the stone hammer within three years, Lao Tzu will naturally keep his promise and accept you as an apprentice! Since you are here, let me toast and swear!" The masked strong man waved his sleeves and conjured up a long sandalwood table, on which was placed a jar of sake and a page of beast rune paper.

"Oath?" Xiao Nan's mouth twitched, and he picked up the beast talisman paper on the table to read, but his face couldn't help but become more strange.

He read it back and forth twice to make sure that he didn't take the wrong paper, and then reluctantly said, "Master, do you really want to read it?"

"If you don't miss Lao Tzu, you'll leave!" The masked strong man glanced at him squintingly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he seemed to be unable to hold back a smile, "Hurry up, Lao Tzu is busy!"

"Slow! I read, I can't read it!" Xiao Nan was helpless, and hurriedly waved the beast rune paper with both hands, and read it word by word-

"A cup of sunrise, a glass of moonlight. A cup of respect for hometown, a cup of respect for the distance. A glass for tomorrow, a glass for the past......"

"Master, is this really an apprenticeship......" Xiao Nan couldn't help but roll his eyes, and spilled sake to heaven and earth while taking an oath.

"Eh, a cup for freedom, a glass for death...... No, Master, how do I feel like I'm really going to the grave!"

"Stop talking nonsense, read it quickly!" the masked man urged.

“...... From now on, I, Xiao Nan, will have the morning sun on my head, clothed in moonlight, miss my hometown, look into the distance, strive for tomorrow, and often remember the past, but for freedom, I am not afraid of death...... "Xiao Nan closed his eyes and read the eulogy, no, the apprenticeship was finished.

"Yes, yes, haha! Lao Tzu, no...... I see that you have a lot of potential for the teacher!" The masked strong man laughed twice, and he was hearty, "However, the teacher has never accepted an apprentice. In line with the attitude of being responsible to you, I will accept you as a registered disciple first, so as not to miss your future!"

"Named disciple......" Xiao Nan was suddenly unhappy, "Master, why isn't it a true disciple?"

"Hmm, don't you want to apprentice, right, then don't leave it at that!" the masked strong man looked displeased and turned to leave.

"Slow!The disciple is willing!The disciple is willing!" Xiao Nan hurriedly called the cheap master, understanding that he was being held with weakness, I am afraid that the future will not be better, the more I think about it, the more I have the urge to burst into tears, "Register the disciple, let's name the disciple......"

"Haha! Okay! Xiao Nan, from today onwards, you will be the first disciple of the teacher!" the masked strong man laughed with satisfaction, "What do you have to ask the teacher?"

"Master, I actually want to ask, who invented such a strange apprenticeship ceremony......" Xiao Nan couldn't help but grit his teeth as soon as he thought of Fang Cai's strange oath, and secretly slandered himself in his heart, "Hmph, don't fall into my hands, master, otherwise I will beat you all over the ground looking for teeth." ”

"Ahem, this one...... It's a long story, it's a long story, and I'll talk about it in the future. As a teacher, I suggest that you might as well change the question. The masked strong man coughed dryly, a little insincere.

"Then may I ask Master, what kind of sect is we and what is its name?" Xiao Nan saw his concealed appearance, and guessed some content, but now that he has a request for others, he naturally didn't dare to show the slightest, and quickly changed the topic.

"What about this sect......" The masked strong man smacked his lips, and just when Xiao Nan thought he would say the name of an earth-shattering ghost, he said indifferently: "There is no sect and no sect." ”

"What, Master, are you playing with me!" Xiao Nan blurted out, seeing that the cheap master nodded slightly, it didn't seem to be fake, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed, "Master, that means that in the future, the two of us will be two complete casual cultivators?"

"Well, what's wrong with the loose cultivation, the loose cultivation is free, do you have an opinion?" The masked strong man squinted at him with no joy or sorrow.

"Ahem, ahem, where do I dare to have any opinions. By the way, Master, I don't know what you call it?" Xiao Nan coughed dryly as he looked like him.

"Calling for the name of the teacher...... Old man in the middle of the mountain. The masked strong man only remembered at this time that the apprentices had been collected, and he hadn't told the other party what his surname was, so he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Old man in the middle of the mountain...... Master, you won't be surnamed Wang, will you?" Xiao Nan's face changed. If you want to talk about the old man in the middle of the mountain, he has never heard of it in this life, but in the previous life, he was a well-known name.

Legend has it that after Wang Anshi's reform failed, he lived in the middle of Zhongshan in Jinling, and his residence was called Banshan Garden, so he called himself the old man of Banshan.

"The master's surname is Jin!" the cheap master snorted coldly, reached out and grabbed his shirt and threw it forward, "Don't talk nonsense, while it's still early tonight, you can demonstrate what you have learned to the teacher." ”

"Yes, Master!" Xiao Nan was overjoyed and finally began to teach! He couldn't help but begin to fantasize that he had learned peerless exercises, won the title of Nanli, and became famous all over the world......

He controlled his thoughts, unfolded the Twelve Ancestral Fists, and evolved the twenty-four types of dynamic and static pile methods one by one.

The qi and blood of the whole body were slowly attracted by the pile method, and gradually rushed and flowed, turning into a vast river in the blink of an eye, constantly washing and refining the two hundred and six bones of the whole body.

After a while, Xiao Nan gathered his strength and stood quietly, calmed his breath, and said respectfully: "Master, this is the body quenching technique practiced by the apprentice, please correct!"

"Not bad, not bad!" After reading it, the old man in the middle of the mountain praised it repeatedly, "Xiao's "Twelve Ancestral Fists" has found a new way, smelting the skin and flesh, blood, bones, and viscera together, although it is time-consuming and laborious, but it is interlocking, round as jade, and it is actually the top-grade foundation method of the realm of quenching the body. ”

He looked at it for a moment, shook his head slowly, and said, "You just need to cultivate it well, and it will become a great tool in the future, and there is no better body quenching technique to teach you as a teacher!"

"Hmm, Master, what do you mean...... Just don't teach it?" Xiao Nan was shocked, and hurriedly picked up a branch, "Master is slow, the apprentice still has a set of swordsmanship." ”

After he finished speaking, he replaced the long sword with a tree branch and performed a set of "Flower Sword Technique".

One move and one style, the swordsmanship is like an antelope hanging horns, eclectic, but the lead is exhausted, such as a thousand flowers, and gradually there is no flower and no self.
