After running like this for a while, the two came to the small hill they saw in the distance just now, and Xiao Rui slowly stopped and let go of Qing Mu's hand. This hillside is covered with maple trees, of varying thickness, and it is very lush.

However, on closer inspection, the maple trees here seem to be slightly different from other places, with lush branches and fat leaves.

However, the maple leaves on it vary from dark brown to pale green.

Qing Mu looked at all this, and asked in amazement: "Xiao Rui, it seems that the maple trees in these maple forests are very different from other places, but I can't say what the difference is!" ”

"Sister Eye! The maple tree here is very different from what you usually see, because it is another more cherished species, the usual maple tree, the autumn will drop leaves, and the winter will be bare and nothing. ”

"But this maple tree is called the maple tree, and it is an evergreen shrub!" Rui explained.

"Hmmm! However, looking at the unique scenery here, can we go up the mountain to chop firewood here in the future? Qing Mu asked with a smile.

"Of course you can, a few days ago I thought my sister might like it here, and I wanted to bring you here, or we'll come here tomorrow! But then it's going to be hard for you, sister. Xiao Rui said with a smile.

Qing Mu asked with some confusion: "Why?" ”

Xiao Rui shook his head and said, "Sister, how do you feel now?" ”

Qing Mu was a little puzzled and said, "I just feel a little tired!" ”

"That's right! However, it seems that Xiaomei still underestimates her sister. Master said that my sister was a martial arts wizard at that time, I didn't believe it at that time, it was only a few days, and I didn't expect my sister's stamina to be so good! Xiao Rui pouted and smiled slightly unhappily.

When Qing Mu heard her words, she felt that her calves were very sore, and she looked at her puzzled: "What's going on?" ”

"Haha! Sister! Looks like you don't know! Just now we looked at this hillside from afar, and we thought it was very close, but in fact, this place was almost ten miles away from the waterfall in the east. ”

"It's just that the air in the mountains is fresh and free of impurities, so when you look at it, you feel that the distance is very close!" Rui explained with a grin.

Qing Mu was a little surprised and said, "Xiao Rui, do you mean that we ran so far in one breath just now?"

Xiao Rui smiled and nodded again and again: "How is it?" Sister, are you okay? ”

"It's okay, I just feel that my calves are not my own, but I don't feel anything if you don't say it just now, but you feel it when you say it." Qing Mu took a deep breath and said in a low voice.

"Sister, it doesn't have to be like this. You have such a good foundation, then the basic skills will be simple, and it will be wrapped up in Xiao Rui in the future! Xiao Rui said with a smile.

"It's just that my sister still doesn't quite understand, why does it take so long for Master to ask me to practice the basic skills?" Qing Mu looked at Xiao Rui suspiciously and asked.

Xiao Rui glanced at Qing Mu, closed his eyes and thought for a while, opened his eyes and said: "Our Shengyue Xuan has its own rules, when the eldest brother came here, just like you, it took three months to practice the basic skills. ”

Now you're still young, all you need to cut is a bundle of firewood a day!

Qing Mu listened to Xiao Rui's words, looked at her with some puzzlement and asked, "Sister is young?" Aren't you smaller? ”

"How can that be the same? First of all, Lord Xuan did not officially accept Xiao Rui as a disciple. Secondly, what Master Xuan usually teaches Xiao Rui is only some martial arts for self-defense and physical fitness, but he has never seen the slightest bit of Master Xuan's mastery. ”

"Besides, I grew up in Wan Xiufeng since I was a child, and I have long been accustomed to Lord Xuan's teaching method, although I seem to be younger than my sister, but in fact, Xiao Rui can be said to be your senior sister!" Rui explained with a grin.

Qing Mu nodded slowly, and suddenly chuckled: "Senior Sister Xiaorui, from now on, Senior Sister's homework will depend on you!" ”

Xiao Rui laughed instantly when he heard her words, followed by a coughing sound, Qing Mudeng was startled and hurriedly helped Xiao Rui gently stroke his back with his hand, and asked with concern: "What's wrong, are you okay?" ”

Xiao Rui's face turned red, his left hand swayed slightly, he lowered his head and covered his mouth with his right hand for a long time before he said, "Sister! You really made me laugh! Let me laugh to death first! ”

"Is it that funny? Isn't it my sister, did you say let me call you senior sister? Qing Mu pretended not to know.

"Humph! Sister, you still say! It's all your fault! Xiao Rui pouted.

Qing Mu chuckled and said, "Okay! Good! It's all my sister's fault, how about my little sister, can I go? ”

"Go, where are you going?" Xiao Rui instantly put away his little emotional and puzzled eyes, stared at Qing Mu and asked.

"Of course I'm going home, it's going to be evening at this hour, and it's going to be dark if I don't go back." Qing Mu said lightly.

"Oh, let's go. But going back like this, I'm tired enough today. Don't shout tired for a while, if you let Lord Xuan know, it won't be good. Xiao Rui lowered his head and said.

"Okay, I know it's really verbose, how can I have the same virtue as Hongluo?" Qing Mu said with a smile.

Xiao Rui heard Qing Mu mention Hong Luo, so he immediately asked: "Hong Luo, how old is she, should I call her sister or sister?" ”

"Well, Hong Luo is fifteen years old and younger than you this year." Qing Mu smiled.

"Oops! That's good, finally I'm not the youngest, next time I see Hongluo, I'm going to bully her! Xiao Rui said with a smile.

"Humph! Let's go! Qing Mu was a little lazy to pay attention to her, took her hand and walked east.

Half an hour later, the two of them came late, and walked into the dining hall of the West Wing compound, where everyone was already waiting, and it was Mr. Crane who was sitting in the center, only to see that his pale hair seemed to be a little more, but the expression on his face was very serious.

Xiao Rui knew in his heart that he was late to come back, and Shengyue Xuan had always been very punctual, and everything such as eating and doing homework was exactly what was done step by step.

She gently pulled the corner of Qing Mu's clothes, and the two of them slowly walked into the dining hall and were about to sit down when they overheard: "Xiao Rui, where did you take Qing Mu to?" ”

Xiao Rui didn't dare to look up at Mr. He, lowered his head and whispered: "Sister Qingmu wants to go to see the maple forest on the western slope, so Hongluo took her there, because the road is very long, so she will come back late!" ”

Mr. Crane looked at the two of them in surprise and asked, "Qing Mu, is that so?" ”

Qing Mu nodded slowly and said, "Master is exactly like this, all of this is Qing Mu's own opinion, and it has nothing to do with Xiao Rui!" ”

Mr. He nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Qingmu, can you tell the teacher how long it took you to go?" ”

Qing Mu shook his head and said, "I don't know!" ”

Xiao Rui cautiously glanced up at Mr. He, and saw that Lord Xuan didn't seem to be angry, so he said, "Master Xuan, Xiao Rui specially took Sister Qingmu to test her basic skills." ”

It took us less than two quarters of an hour to get from the waterfall in the east to the hillside in the west!

"Really?" Mr. Tsuru asked, incredulous.

"Yes, Lord Xuan!" Rui replied affirmatively.

"Good! Good! It's really teachable! Sit down, and after dinner, you will come with your teacher. Mr. Tsuru stroked his beard with satisfaction, and ordered the two of them to sit down and eat.

Xiao Rui was in a happy mood, and in a moment, he escaped a punishment, and he was secretly proud in his heart, but fortunately in the afternoon, for the sake of freshness and fun, he ran wild with Qing Mu, but he didn't expect it to be a blessing in disguise, and now he looks at the master of Xuan, and seems to be quite satisfied.

After dinner, Qing Mu followed Mr. He into a very chic study. Qing Mu was a little puzzled, so he asked, "Master! Do you have any instructions for Qing Mu to come here? ”

Mr. Crane smiled slightly and said, "If you want to practice martial arts, you must first learn to be a man!" Today, as a teacher, I will teach you how to cultivate your self-cultivation, and then you will study here, and every day after returning from the mountain, you will do a morning class here. ”

The books in this room are all collected by the teacher over the years, and I hope you will read them carefully and be able to understand the truth of being a human being.

Qing Mu listened to Master's words, nodded affirmatively, and looked up at the bookshelf, where there were books such as the Analects, Zhuangzi, and some medical pharmacology, and even military books such as Sun Tzu's Art of War.

Qing Mu was a little confused and asked, "Master, is this related to the practice of martial arts?" ”

"Of course! The supreme realm of martial arts, in fact, is only from the books of the ancestors, civil and military since ancient times can not be separated, in fact, today, the emphasis on military and light on literature, mainly because the royal family is afraid of war, so the military is put in the first place. ”

When martial arts reach a certain level, if you can't cultivate Wenmo well, you will also be a reckless man, and you will not be able to comprehend the deeper meaning of martial arts. Mr. Tsuru explained carefully.

Qing Mu nodded again and again, pondering for a moment. said with a smile: "Master, it's just that Qing Mu has been familiar with these books since he was a child, and it can be said that he has memorized them backwards, and now he is letting his apprentices read them, is it a bit redundant?" ”

Mr. Tsuru snorted, a little surprised, and asked, "Is that really the case?" ”

"Although Qing Mu has not practiced martial arts before and does not know any martial arts, he has been familiar with the famous books and classics of the past dynasties. Qing Mu said with a smile.

"Well, that's fine! Put you to the test today! Mr. Tsuru was a little unconvinced, and said casually.

After he finished speaking, he looked at the books on the shelf, then took out a book from Zhuangzi, opened one, and it was "Getaway", looked down at a few words, and asked, "Qing Mu, you listen well." ”

'Pengzhi migrates to the south of the underworld, the water hits three thousand miles, the one who sways up ninety thousand miles, and the one who goes to rest in June', what are the last few sentences? ”

Qing Mu smiled slightly, and replied: "Wild horses, dust, and creatures blow each other." The firmament of the sky, its good and evil? Far away and unreachable? It is also under its sight, and if it is, it is already gone. And the accumulation of water is not thick......"

"Good! Good! Mr. Crane smiled and said two good words in a row, interrupting Qing Mu's words, and continued: "Very good! So, then the teacher will test you again? ”

As he spoke, Mr. Crane casually picked up a copy of Sun Bin's Art of War and asked, "Listen!" Therefore, the attacker is bright with fire, and the attacker is strong with water. ”

Water can be extinguished, not taken away. The husband defeated the attack, and the one who did not practice his merits was murdered, and his fate was called Fei Liu. What's next?

"Hmmm! Not bad! Not bad indeed! Mr. He's eyes showed a look of satisfaction, and he thought to himself, this Qi'er really chose a genius for the master, such a qualification, I am afraid that even if he did not have this achievement back then.

Qing Mu smiled and said, "Master! Don't you know! Qing Mu is the champion of Yu Jinguo, and he has memorized these famous books in ancient times! ”

"Good! Good! It's really teachable! It seems that my Holy Moon Xuan really has a successor! Qingmu, from tomorrow, at three o'clock in the morning, you will go to Songbai in the back mountain, and the master will teach you the cultivation method of this sect first! ”

The smile on Mr. Tsuru's face could no longer hide his joy at this moment.

It's just that in front of Qing Mu, he has to control it well, looking at Qing Mu who was sitting next to him, he slowly stroked his chin, and said, "It's late today, go back and rest early!" The place where Xiao Rui took you to, are you still satisfied? ”

Qing Mu nodded again and again, and happily replied, "I'm satisfied, Master!" However, Qing Mu had the courage to give her a name, called Yunyueju! ”

"Okay, as long as you like it! Let's go back! Mr. Tsuru said again.

"Yes, Master, you should rest soon!" After Qing Mu finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the chic study and gently closed the door.

Qing Mu was very proud in her heart, she couldn't imagine that when she was a child, she pestered her brother to read and write, but now it is so useful, it seems that in the future, on this Wanxiu Peak, the master will definitely love herself, every time she thinks about this, she feels sincerely happy.

It's Mu, the fatigue of the past few days is now relieved, and all this seems to have stabilized, so this Mu, Qing Mu slept very sweetly, and his face was full of smiles in his sleep.

As the saying goes, you can wake up with a smile when you fall asleep, this kind of happiness from the heart has not been experienced for a long, long time since Qingmu was reborn.

It's just that at this moment, she forgot her hatred, forgot the Mu Lianyuan who made her annoyed, her heart was full of beautiful longing, and she seemed to see Mu Qi in her dream with the wedding team to the general's mansion to marry her.

It seems like it's just reality.

The next morning, Xiao Rui came to Qing Mu's residence Yunyue Ju early, she was still in a dream, she didn't seem to want to wake up, such a beautiful scene, she seemed to keep all this in her heart forever in her dream.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of "dong dong", and Qing Mudeng was awakened and asked casually, "Who?" ”

"Sister, it's me, Xiao Rui!"

"Wait a minute!" Qing Mu got up slowly, looked at his face in front of the bronze mirror, seemed to feel that he had become a little more beautiful, picked up the long shirt hanging next to him and put it on his body, and opened the door.

"Oops! Sister, Lord Xuan didn't teach you a lesson last night! Xiao Rui looked at Qing Mu's expression and asked in surprise.

"Of course not! Master, his old man is satisfied! Qing Mu replied with a smile.

Xiao Rui lowered his head and said, "In this way, I will rest assured!" Sister, do you know that it worries me! I'm afraid that Lord Xuan will punish my sister! ”

Qing Mu shook his head and said, "How could it be?" Master looks so kind, like a father! ”

"No! No way! Sister, it's not fair, you have to compensate Xiao Rui! Xiao Rui groaned for a while, still feeling a little unhappy in his heart, so he said.

"Good, good! How do you want your sister to compensate you? Qing Mu asked with a smile.

"If one day, sister, you can learn to go down the mountain, I hope my sister will take Xiao Rui with me!" Xiao Rui blinked with a pair of big eyes that seemed to be able to speak, and said with a smile.

"Good! As long as Master agrees, there is no problem with my sister! Qing Mu replied.

Xiao Rui was instantly lost, pouted, and said angrily: "I still want Lord Xuan to agree!" Sister, you should help Xiao Rui speak! ”

"Well, it's up to you. Okay, I'm going to freshen up too, after all, it's morning class time soon. Today, Master asked me to go to Songberlin and said that he would teach my sister the Dharma. Qing Mu said lightly.

Xiao Rui was dumbfounded, looked at Qing Mu, couldn't speak for a long time, and after a long time, he said in surprise: "Ah, so fast? ”

"Yesterday, Master tested me on my knowledge of literature and the like, and it seemed that my sister's answer made him very satisfied. That's why these things came about. Qing Mu said lightly.

"However, Xiao Rui has to admire you, sister, you are so familiar with those difficult books, it seems to be very in line with Lord Xuan's temper. When I was a child, he asked me to read, and Xiao Rui was extremely disgusted, so he was often punished by Lord Xuan for copying those books. ”

Xiao Rui said a little unwillingly.

Qing Mu listened to Xiao Rui's complaints, while using a wooden comb to manage his hair, Xiao Rui finished speaking, watching Qing Mu busy before and after, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Sister, let me help you." ”

After Xiao Rui helped Qing Mu clean up, he went to the maple forest in the West Mountain together to complete the daily compulsory courses. Qing Mu was in a very happy mood, even after walking so many roads, he never felt the slightest tiredness.

After coming back, he hurriedly said goodbye to Xiao Rui, and according to the master's instructions, he went to the back mountain pine and cypress early.

Qing Mu thought he was very early, and when he arrived, it was as if the master had been waiting there early. Qing Mu was a little confused, and asked in surprise, "Master, why did you arrive so early?" ”

Mr. Crane smiled slightly and said, "The teacher is waiting for you here, to see how long it will take for you to come back." ”

Qing Mu nodded slowly and said, "Master, you can also be regarded as an apprentice of the school entrance examination." ”

"Even if it is, I just don't know Qing Mu, can you endure this hardship, if you feel that it is already very difficult to go up the mountain to chop wood with Xiao Rui, but practicing martial arts is a hundred times more difficult than this, do you have to be mentally prepared?"

Mr. Crane looked at Qing Mu and said lightly.

"Master, the apprentice is ready. From childhood to adulthood, the apprentice has always believed that where there is a will, there is a way. Nothing can be admired. Qing Mu looked at Mr. He's gaze and said firmly.

"Good, good!" Mr. He nodded with satisfaction, glanced down at Qing Mu, and then asked, "Qing Mu, do you know the origin of martial arts?" ”

Qing Mu shook his head when he heard Master's question, and said, "Master, I don't know. ”

Mr. Crane nodded slightly, pondered for a long time, and said, "In ancient times, there was no concept of martial arts. At that time, there was a war between tribes, and it was just a matter of fighting each other with their bravery, not to mention what genre there was.

Since the beginning of the establishment of Taoist doctrine by Taoist Zhenren, a fixed school has been formed, and for hundreds of years, it has been inherited and formed a Taoist martial arts school with far-reaching influence in the martial arts.

Taoist martial arts adheres to the unity of heaven and man, from the outside to the inside, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon for its own use. Therefore, great attention is paid to the complementarity of external and internal skills, and both internal and external cultivation.

Then, Buddhism in the Western Regions flowed in, and after hundreds of years of development, another school was formed, which was Buddhism.

Buddhism adheres to the principle of starting from the inside out, focusing first on one's own practice, and then influencing external things, so it is completely opposite to Taoism.

For hundreds of years, the merits of the two schools of martial arts have been disputed, and there is still no conclusion. Later, a sect from the Western Regions called the Holy Fire Sect, with a doctrine, flowed into Middle-earth, which was later formed as the Demon Sect.

The martial arts of this school are undisciplined, but they are very domineering, and the martial arts moves are often unexpected and unguardable.

However, for hundreds of years, the Demon Sect has extensively absorbed the essence of martial arts of other sects and incorporated them into its own martial arts. ”

Qing Mu heard Master's explanation, nodded again and again, looked up at Master suspiciously, and asked, "Master, which school does our Shengyue Xuan's martial arts belong to?" ”

"Good question! At the beginning of the founding of Shengyuexuan, it followed the true method of Taoism, so in the final analysis, we also belong to the Taoist lineage! It's just that after decades of development, Master has gone through hundreds of vicious battles in his life, and has realized a truth from it.

Fundamentally speaking, martial arts should not be divided into factions, in fact, all martial arts in the world are the same.

The cultivation of martial arts is to the highest realm, and as a teacher, I deeply realize how ignorant and naïve it is to forcibly divide martial arts into schools. Now it seems that the practice of this demon sect should really make the martial arts righteous path deeply introspect.

"Otherwise, after a few hundred years, I am afraid that the righteous path will decline, and the rivers will decline, and I am afraid that there will never be room to turn over!" Mr. Tsuru stated with some remorse.

"Well, I remember!" Qing Mu looked at the master who was deep in thought, and hurriedly replied.

When Mr. Crane heard Qing Mu's answer, he smiled, sighed lightly, and said, "Okay! Today, as a teacher, I will teach you the inner strength of this sect, and you must practice carefully according to the method every day, and you must not slack off in the slightest! ”

"Hmm!"
