"Why do you have to work so hard?" Mei Jiu wanted to tell Mei Ruyan that when he learned kung fu, he would have a hard time in the future.

Mei Ruyan said, "I have a lot of knowledge, but I have never seen a big family so weird, I don't know the reason behind it, but I can guess a thing or two." Sister, the life span is about a fixed number, when we will die, we really can't help it, but the king of Hades can't control how we live! ”

She smiled and said categorically, "I just want to make myself stronger, even if I can't fight for my life, I want to die with a smile." ”

Therefore, even if Zhilu Dao practiced martial arts, it would not be easy in the future, and she would not let go of any opportunity to make herself stronger.

Mei Ruyan and Mei Jiu don't have a foundation in martial arts, and if they want to become stronger, they can't hide their clumsiness, because martial arts have not progressed or the progress is too slow, so Mr. Mo will not teach her more deeply. To put it simply, in martial arts, hiding clumsiness happens to people who have reached a certain level of martial arts, and there is no way to do it at all.

And Anjiu is different. In the final analysis, the world's martial arts are the same, she has never been exposed to this kind of kung fu before, but she has experienced high-intensity training, so that she knows how to control the body to the extreme, stimulate the potential of the body - remove all the external forms of martial arts, and finally end up here.

Mei Ruyan and Mei Jiu went down the mountain together, and then went back to their residences.

Along the way, Mei Jiu's ears were echoing Mei Ruyan's words, and when she said "die with a smile", the shock in Mei Jiu's heart was incomparable. is obviously about the same age, why does she have such courage?

When she returned to Yuweiju, Mei Yanran had already been waiting in the hall for a long time.

"Mother." When Mei Jiu saw her mother, she was very down-to-earth.

"I'm back a little late today." Mei Yanran said.

Mei Jiu said, "My sister was a little injured, and it was inconvenient to go down the mountain, so I walked slowly with her for a while." ”

"Hurt?" Mei Yanran tightened her cuffs, paused and said, "I'll go over and see her in a while, you have nothing to do today, right?" ”

Mei Jiuzhi said that she asked about martial arts, "Mr. Qingming gave me a boxing book, and I can write down the movements on it after reading it once, but when I compare it, Mr. Qingming is not light." ”

Mei Yanran raised her sleeves to cover her mouth and chuckled, "Mr. Qingming talks about Zen and the Tao, but he can't control himself. ”

"Mother, I saw a man in black today." Mei Jiu decided to tell the story of the ghost man he met while herding sheep.

Anjiu didn't stop it.

Mei Yanran's smile receded, and her expression became serious, "The man in black? Where do you see it? ”

"Today when I was alone in the mountains herding sheep." Mei Jiu said in 1510, "I have seen it in the ancestral hall before, there were ten people in black wearing masks, five Gandharvas, and five Yakshas, and the person I see today is a man wearing a Yaksha mask. ”

Mei Yanran suddenly became nervous and asked, "Has he ever talked to you?" ”

"Speaking of which, he asked me if I was Elder Zhi's newly accepted apprentice." Mei Jiu still covered up the matter about Anjiu, "and said that we will see you again soon." ”

"What?!" Mei Yanran's face was already undisguised with horror, "How could it be...... How could it be...... Can you tell how old the man is? ”

Mei Jiu was taken aback by her reaction, but her mind was blank at the time, and no matter how she thought about it, she didn't remember it at this time.

"Between twenty and thirty." An Jiudao.

The time was too rushed, and she could only tell an approximate age group from her voice and a few small details.

"About twenty to thirty." Umekudo.

Mei Yanran thought for a while, "It shouldn't be from our family." ”

Mei Jiu was puzzled, "Mother, who are those?" ”

"The people of the Crane Temple." Mei Yanran felt that there was no need to hide anything from Mei Jiu, things had come to this point, she was still in a state of semi-grounded, unable to take care of Mei Jiu all the time, Mei Jiu was not suitable to continue to be ignorant, "According to common sense, you have just returned home, and your qualifications are not clear, so you should not be in such a hurry to let you enter the family tree, unless it is just in time for a group of people in the clan to be sent to the Crane Control Army......"

It turns out that how many people are recorded in each Mei family tree must be recorded in the imperial court, and whenever someone from the Mei family wants to be recorded in the family tree, the imperial court will send someone to check the qualifications and record everything in the book. The time coincided, so the head of the family decided to let Mei Jiu enter the family tree as soon as possible.

"A long time ago, the Crane Army was mainly composed of four families, namely the Mei family, the Zhao family, the Li family, and the Lou family, in addition to many small families. The first emperor felt that it was easy to get out of control, so the imperial court set up a place dedicated to cultivating talents for the crane control army, which was called the Crane Control Academy. ”

After the establishment of the Crane Control Academy, it no longer only accepted people from these families, but absorbed a large number of children with good qualifications from the people, and cultivated them from an early age, trying to change the situation that the family occupied the power of the Crane Control Army.

These families know too many secrets of the royal family, and the fate of becoming a waste chess can be imagined! Several major families have no way out, they can only find ways to hold on to the power in their hands to survive.

The descendants of the Mei family have gradually withered, so they can't wait to include Mei Jiu and Mo Si in the family tree, and even know that Mei Ruyan is not a descendant of the Mei family, so he turns a blind eye.

Mei Yanran pondered, "The people of the Crane Control Academy probably want to test your qualifications......

Thinking of this, Mei Yanran suddenly reached out to pinch Mei Jiu's pulse, and carefully probed it for a long time.

Mei Jiu didn't dare to make a sound to disturb, and didn't ask until she withdrew her hand, "Mother, what's wrong?" ”

Mei Yanran shook her head, "I'm wondering why that person said to see you soon." ”

Mei Jiu inherited Mei Yanran's roots, and her foundation is very suitable for martial arts, otherwise Mei Yanran would not have deliberately cultivated her on the road of weakness and timidity. Now Mei Jiu is thirteen years old, and he has never been exposed to martial arts before entering the Mei Mansion, so it stands to reason that even if he has some talents, it is too late, why can he let the people of the Crane Academy take a fancy to him? Just because of Elder Zhi, he would never let that person say the words "I will see him again soon"!

"Jiu'er, what are you hiding from me?" Mei Yanran held Mei Jiu's hand, "Is there anything you can't tell your mother?" ”

"I ......" Mei Jiu hated to tell her mother everything immediately, but when she heard An Jiu snort coldly, all the words instantly choked in her throat.

Mei Yanran sighed and said, "Jiu'er, my mother has no hope in this life, I just hope that you will do well, if it is important, don't hide it from your mother!" ”

When she returned to Meifu again, Mei Yanran knew that the possibility of escaping again was almost zero, and her only plan was to fight her own way to make Mei Jiu peaceful for the rest of her life.

It was not early, and seeing that Mei Jiu didn't have any intention of letting go, she didn't continue to ask.

After dinner.

Mei Yanran asked people to prepare medicine for bruises, and while waiting, she talked to Mei Jiu again.

"Lady Yan." The hurried voice of the night suddenly came.

Mei Yanran said, "What's the matter?" ”

"The old lady is here!" Haruka lowered her voice.

The lights in the room were bright, and Mei Jiu clearly saw that Mei Yanran's lips were trembling, and the blood on her face receded in an instant.

"Who is the old lady?" Mei Jiu only knew that there were only two old ladies in the Mei family, and he had never heard of any old lady, and he was still an old lady who made his mother so jealous!

"It seems that ......" a hoarse voice suddenly came from above his head, clearly laughing, but revealing a cold and murderous aura, "You still remember the old woman." ”

Mei Jiu was shocked and looked up at the roof, but despite her good eyesight, she could not find a human figure.

"The girls are so big." The hoarse voice instantly came from the main seat again.

Mei Jiu looked over and saw a rickety man in black sitting there, her body bowed slightly, her hands on her cane, and her whole body was impermeable.
