Xu Lingzi's eyes lit up and smiled: "It's good, I only watched it once, and I actually learned the old man's Yuying palm by five or six percent, not bad, not bad, little girl, you are willing to worship me as a teacher." ”

"This ......." Zhong Lichun looked at Shi Jingtian for a moment and said, "This has to be agreed by the master, and the juniors can't agree without permission." ”

Xu Lingzi looked at Shi Jingtian and said, "Dead old man, you see that the little girl likes Yuying's palm technique, so you agree!" After speaking, he looked at him expectantly.

Shi Jingtian glared at him helplessly, "Cheap you old thing, why don't you go and prepare medicinal herbs quickly." ”

When Xu Lingzi heard this, he knew that Shi Jingtian had agreed, and laughed wildly: "This is natural, there is no need for you to urge. I'll prepare. Little girl, call Master. ”

When Zhong Lichun heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Void Lingzi three times. "Apprentice Zhao Ruoyan to meet Master."

Xu Lingzi laughed, helped her up and said, "You don't have to be polite, you go to eat first and rest." For the teacher, I will prepare a medicinal soup for you. With that, he turned around and hurried away.

Zhong Lichun watched Void Lingzi leave, and then said to Shi Jingtian, "Master, ......." ”

Shi Jingtian waved his hand to stop her and said: "It's okay, you don't have to say it, the Void Spirit Son has taken a fancy to you, and it is also your creation, during this time, you should hurry up and learn a little more!" ”

Zhong Lichun nodded, "Thank you, Master, I will study hard." ”

Shi Jingtian waved his hand and said, "I'm tired today!" Let's go down and rest for a while. Zhong Li said goodbye to the spring and went back to his room to rest.

Shi Jingtian hurriedly came to the main courtyard, and saw that Xulingzi was busy in the medicine pile, and found out the packets of medicinal materials, and when he saw him come in, he didn't raise his head and said, "Old thing, come over and help find it!" What are you doing there?

The two of them found more than a dozen packets of medicinal herbs in the mountain of medicinal piles, and the two of them came to the kitchen with a few packets, and they were busy, and ordered the little boy to boil a pot of water and put the medicinal herbs one by one in order. Xu Lingzi was on the side again, supervising and observing, but when the medicine was at its best, he scooped out the medicinal soup and brought it back to the backyard.

Zhong Lichun rested for a while, and was practicing the Yuying palm technique, and when he saw the two of them coming together, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Helping to carry the medicinal soup back to the room, after Xu Lingzi told Zhong Lichun, he closed the door and waited outside the door.

Zhong Lichun took off his dress, walked into the bathtub, and sat inside, feeling comfortable. The body relaxed, the eyelids were fighting, and he actually fell asleep by the bathtub.

Xu Lingzi and Shi Jingtian waited outside for half an hour, but they couldn't hear any movement, the two looked at each other, and hurriedly pushed the door in to take a look, "Okay, the little girl is so tired that she actually fell asleep in the bathtub." ”

The two hurriedly retreated and shouted at the door: "Wake up, the water is cold, and you will suffer from the wind." ”

When Zhong Lichun heard the call, Huo Ran woke up, quickly got up, dried himself, and got dressed. Bring out the bath soup and pour it. Seeing Shi Jingtian and Xulingzi standing in the courtyard, he couldn't help but blush, and secretly abandoned himself, how could his vigilance be so low, and he actually fell asleep in the bathtub. I remember that I used to fight by myself, and it was normal to not sleep for two or three days, but it seemed that my body was too weak. So he said embarrassedly, "Master, I ......." ”

Void Lingzi shook his head and said, "It's okay, this medicinal soup already has a calming effect. It's normal for you to fall asleep. "Come back to our room! We are lucky to help you dredge the meridians, and tomorrow we can better make the medicinal soup work.

Zhong Lichun returned to the room and sat cross-legged on the bed, Void Lingzi reached out to her back, slowly injecting the internal force, Zhong Lichun slowly guided the true qi to move towards Ren Du's two veins.

Shi Jingtian stood guard outside the door and made an appointment. Void Lingzi walked out of the room, Shi Jingtian stepped forward, Void Lingzi nodded, and the two stayed at the door for a while.

Zhong Lichun opened his eyes and walked to the door. He said to the two of them, "Thank you, Master." ”

The two smiled and said, "Have a good rest tonight." Keep up the good work tomorrow. ”

Zhongli Chunmu sent the two away, returned to the room, and fell asleep. The next day, I got up early in the morning refreshed, did not practice the sword, and practiced yesterday's Yuying palm carefully several times, and after passing it, I became a lot more proficient.

When Xu Lingzi came to the backyard and saw Zhong Lichun practicing the Yuying palm technique, he couldn't help but frown and pointed to the side.

Zhong Lichun was already transparent, and after the careful guidance of Xulingzi, a set of Yuying palm techniques also mastered the essence of seven or eight points.

Shi Jingtian also taught her a set of swordsmanship, and complemented and combined the deficiencies of the two sets of swordsmanship, so that the two sets of swordsmanship were more fluent.

Zhong Lichun practiced diligently every day, and his palm and sword skills improved rapidly, and with the help of Yao Tang and the two masters, his internal strength also improved by leaps and bounds. Zhong Lichun gradually had the feeling of dominating the field before, and the sword style also brought some momentum. When I have free time, I also plunged into the medicinal books and medicinal materials, and learned basic drug knowledge from Xulingzi. Every day is hectic and hectic. Zhong Lichun seemed to be back in his previous life, and there were endless things to do every day.

After the full month of March, Zhong Lichun finally waited for Guan Jian, and after the final soup bath, Xu Lingzi and Shi Jingtian had solemn faces. The three of them came to the secret room in the back mountain, and Zhong Lichun sat cross-legged on the stone bed. Xu Lingzi and Shi Jingtian sat cross-legged behind her on either side.

Zhong Lichun closed his eyes, his luck swam around, Void Lingzi and Shi Jingtian, each stretched out a hand on Zhong Lichun's back, two strands of true qi were slowly injected into Zhong Lichun's body, Zhong Lichun slowly led the true qi from the perineum, acupoints, all the way along the Du Mai, waist yang, life gate, suspension pivot, spine, center, tendon contraction, Zhiyang, Lingtai, Shinto, body pillar, Tao Dao, large vertebrae. Open up the 12 acupuncture points on the back.

Zhong Lichun took a slow breath and slowly guided the true qi to rush to the six important acupuncture points on the head, first of all, the dumb gate, the wind house, followed by the brain household, Baihui, and finally through the divine court, the water ditch, all the way down. Along the Ren vein, from the paddle, Lianquan, Tiantu, Xuanji, Huacani, Zigong, Yutang, Jizhong, Atrium, Dovetail, Chenque, Shangguan, Zhongguan, Jianli, Xiaguan, Shui, Shenque. Sixteen acupuncture points in the upper abdomen were opened.

Void Lingzi and Shi Jingtian increased the input of true qi, Zhong Lichun took a breath, gathered the true qi together again, and slammed into the six acupoints of the last lower abdomen, slowly breaking through all the way, Yin Jiao, Qi Sea, Shimen, Guan Yuan, Zhongji, and Qugu. After breaking through the Qugu Acupoint, Zhong Lichun was in ecstasy, guiding the True Qi to pass through the Guan Yuan, enter the Qi Sea, and run for three weeks.

Xu Lingzi and Shi Jingtian looked happy, slowly collected their efforts, withdrew their hands, and got down from the stone bed.

Zhong Lichun slowly finished his work, opened his bright eyes, and kowtowed three times to Xulingzi and Shi Jingtian, thanking the two masters for sparing no effort to help the apprentices open up the meridians of the whole body.

The two looked at each other, smiled, and said in unison: "Good apprentice, you are talented and intelligent, and you can understand it at all, so as long as you practice diligently, your achievements will be above us in the future, I don't know if you plan to go down the mountain now, or stay for some time."

Zhong Lichun thought about it, it shouldn't have started the draft yet, and it would be about three months later, so it would be okay to go home anyway, so it was better to stay here, and it would be good for him to practice with the guidance of two masters.

Zhong Lichun smiled slightly and said: "There is nothing to do when the left and right apprentices go home, just stay here for three more months, and after three months, the apprentices have something to do, and they must go down the mountain to go home."

Void Lingzi and Shi Jingtian smiled, "It's so good, during this time, the two sets of swordsmanship are combined." Understand the essence of Yuying, and go down the mountain like this, ordinary people in the rivers and lakes are not your opponents. ”

Winter goes to spring, flowers are in full bloom, peach and willow green, Du Yu's voice, drizzle, pedestrians are weaving. In front of the Taoist temple, Zhong Lichun bid farewell to Xulingzi, went all the way down the mountain, and came to the fork in the border of Qingzhou. Picked up the package, hesitated for a moment, handed the Qingying Sword to Shi Jingtian with both hands and said: Please let Master keep this sword for me, don't let people know the origin of this sword.

Shi Jingtian was stunned for a moment and smiled: "Apprentice, you already have a good sword, why did your father still ask me for a sword for you?" ”

Zhong Lichun smiled embarrassedly and said: My father doesn't know, and this sword can't be used publicly, so the master will know when he opens it.

Shi Jingtian opened the cloth bag, took out the sword and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Qingying Sword, my master's hand is made by Queen Zhong Lichun. The former queen's sword, isn't it in the palace, how can it be in your hand? ”

Zhong Lichun sighed faintly, "It's the Qingying Sword, which was stolen from the palace by a friend, so I didn't dare to use it, and my father didn't know about it." If it is known by others, I am afraid that my father will cause trouble. So please ask Master to keep it on your behalf. ”

Shi Jingtian nodded and said: "The imperial palace is not something that ordinary officials can have, otherwise it may be ruined." All right! For the master, I will keep it for you first, and when you want it, come to the master, and if the master is not in the blacksmith shop, go to the master of the void spirit. He must know where I am. So they parted ways and said goodbye.

Zhong Lichun returned to the county guard's mansion, and as soon as he walked to the inner courtyard, he saw Mama Li beside the Ding family hurriedly walking out. As soon as he saw Zhong Lichun, he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Second Miss is back!" Go and persuade Madame! ”

Zhong Lichun was stunned for a moment and said, "What's wrong with my mother." ”

Mama Li glanced at her, and stopped talking, "You better hurry up and go in and ask Mrs. yourself!" After saying that, he saluted and walked away.

Zhong Lichun's face was full of doubts, he pushed open the door, and saw Ding, his eyes closed, and his face was haggard lying on the bed. couldn't help but feel sour, and called softly: "Mother, the unfilial daughter is back." ”

Ding, who was lying on the bed, suddenly heard Zhong Lichun's voice, suddenly opened his eyes, and saw Zhong Lichun standing beside the bed. He sat up, grabbed her hand and said, "Yan'er, why are you back, you shouldn't come back!" ”

"Why?" Zhong Lichun was stunned.

Ding's eyes were full of tears, he grabbed Zhong Lichun's hand and said, "The imperial court draft is going to summon you to the palace, and your father originally planned to find a mother-in-law to settle your family affairs." so as not to enter the palace. But he didn't want Chen to go to the Qincha to denounce you, so the Qincha ordered your father to send you to the capital as a candidate within a month, otherwise you would be punished for disobeying the holy decree. ”

"How could the draft girl enter the palace so early, isn't it more than a month? How did it advance this year! Zhong Lichun frowned.
