Qing Mu looked at Master's gaze and said with a smile: "Master, you are finally back!" Do you know how much you miss you! ”

"Hmmm! Master went out to travel, specifically to do one thing, and now that the matter has been done, I came back in advance to see Qing Mu, has your kung fu entered the country? Mr. Tsuru said with a smile.

Qing Mu nodded and said, "I don't dare to say anything about entering the realm, but Master, the apprentice has a lot of questions, can I ask you!" ”

Mr. He smiled slightly and said, "Xiaocui, you go back first, the old man wants to chat with Qing Mu for a while!" ”

Xiao Cui nodded obediently and said, "Hmm! Senior, Xiaocui retires! She said, with light steps, looking at Qing Mu and smiling faintly, and after a while, she disappeared in front of the two.

Qing Mu watched Xiao Cui leave, so she asked Master one by one about the many questions she had encountered in the course of her practice over the past few days.

Mr. Crane listened to Qing Mu's questions, nodded again and again, and answered each question seriously, analyzed, and demonstrated in person. After listening to Master's explanation, she suddenly felt enlightened.

The doubts that remained in my heart disappeared in an instant, and it seemed that my skills had suddenly increased a lot.

Half an hour later, Mr. Crane raised his head slightly, looked at the sky in the distance, and said, "Qing Mu, you have basically mastered the internal skills of this sect, and the depth of your skills is only a matter of time. ”

Now, the teacher is going to teach you foreign kung fu, that is, the three great masters of being a teacher that are widely rumored in the rivers and lakes!

Qing Mu looked at him happily and said loudly: "Master, I know this!" ”

Mr. He was a little puzzled and asked, "Qing Mu actually knows, then tell the master!" ”

"Hmmm! I once heard Mu Qi say that Master's three great martial arts skills are the three sets of swordsmanship of 'Rainstorm Meteor, Mirror Flower and Water Moon, and Eternal Destruction'. Qing Mu said with a smile.

"Not bad! Not bad! However, these three sets of swordsmanship are not so simple! It is said to be a style of swordsmanship, but the kaleidoscopic variety contained in it is not so easy to learn! Mr. Tsuru smiled.

Qing Mu nodded slightly, and said, "The apprentice knows that these days, according to the master's cultivation method, he has deeply realized the breadth and profundity of the master's martial arts, which Qing Mu will never be able to learn in his lifetime!" ”

"Good! Very good! Today, I will pass on these three sword moves to you! In this way, you will truly become the successor of my crane, walking on the rivers and lakes, you must be chivalrous and righteous, but don't lose your face as a teacher! Mr. Tsuru said.

"Well, it's in vain!" Qing Mu replied.

"Qing Mu, you can see clearly, this first-style sword technique is called a rainstorm meteor! This set of swordsmanship emphasizes the mutual cooperation of speed, accuracy, and internal force, and it is like ten thousand swords falling from the sky. ”

"If you force the enemy to retreat, there is no way to avoid it, and you will inevitably be seriously injured by the sword!" Mr. Crane explained seriously, casually picked up a small branch of moderate thickness beside him, and performed a move, and the air was filled with black shadows in an instant.

Qing Mu was dumbfounded, such speed, such a sharp swordsmanship, even if you have good martial arts, I am afraid that you will not be able to escape the fate of being seriously injured.

Before she could see clearly, she couldn't open her eyes when the wind roared in the air, and in a moment, black shadows flew in the air, and the piercing sound of cutting through the air came like a storm, and in an instant, the ground in the distance had been scratched by several sword marks.

After a while, Mr. Crane put away the branches, slowly fell to Qing Mu's side, and asked with a smile, "Qing Mu, what do you think of this set of swordsmanship?" ”

Qing Mu was speechless for a long time in surprise, a little incredulous, at this moment, the sword marks that were cut on the ground were huge gaps that opened in an instant.

She never thought that such a set of swordsmanship would have such power, and asked in surprise: "With such a swordsmanship, the generals will be opened, isn't it that the enemy will either be killed or injured!" ”

Mr. Crane shook his head slowly and said, "The reason why the superior swordsmanship is called superior is that it can be sent and received, and it can be targeted!" If it is a style of swordsmanship, it can only be sent out, but it cannot be taken back, then it is not a superior martial art! Come on, Qingmu, you can try! ”

Qing Mu nodded slowly and closed his eyes, seriously thinking about the use of the master's sword move just now, and after a while, he opened his eyes, exerted his internal strength, and jumped into the air, just like the sword move used by Mr. Crane.

After a few rounds like this, he is already familiar with the sword style of this swordsmanship.

The corners of Mr. He's mouth curled slightly, and he said with a smile: "Qing Mu, you are really smart, such repeated swordsmanship, day and night, after reading it, you will know it in your chest!" Even being a teacher is ashamed! ”

"Master...... That's not what you taught well! Qing Mu pursed her lips and said coquettishly in a long voice.

"Good! Good! But, Qingmu, you remember! Each of these three sets of swordsmanship is enough to kill people, so don't use them until you have to! Mr. Tsuru said earnestly.

"Qing Mu remembered!"

Immediately afterwards, Mr. Crane opened the remaining two sets of swordsmanship one by one, and Qing Mu secretly took a few notes on the master's body technique, the way of drawing the sword, the direction, and the strength used.

Mr. Crane looked at Qing Mu happily, thinking that this kid is really smart, just at this moment, he will be proud of the three great schools that he founded in his life, and he has learned probably, he is really a martial arts wizard!

Qing Mu slowly fell to the ground and walked to the master's side, and asked, "Master, how do you see Qing Mu fighting?" ”

"Hmmm! It's a good look! It's just that there is still a lack of heat, remember to practice diligently in the future, which can make perfect, the more you practice, the more you can appreciate the martial arts principles contained in it. ”

"In a few years, Qing Mu will become a first-class master in the rivers and lakes!" Mr. Tsuru said earnestly.

"Oops! How many more years? Qing Mu looked at the master with some doubts.

"Humph! Girl! I don't know how thick the sky is! This is a peerless school that has spent more than 30 years for the teacher, how can it be learned so overnight? ”

"You must practice more in the future, if you see the teacher next time, you still have no progress, see how the master punishes you!" Mr. Crane had a serious look on his face and sharply criticized Qing Mu's impetuousness.

"Oh, I see, Master, I know it's wrong!" Qing Mu bowed his head and replied.

Mr. He smiled slightly and said, "It's not for the teacher to force you, such as the inner strength of this sect and these swordsmanship, you need to practice diligently in order to make perfect." ”

If it is only based on the heat of a few minutes, it is definitely not enough, how can you practice a martial art that is unparalleled in the world?

"Master, the apprentices have memorized it, and they must practice more!" Qing Mu replied with a smile.

"That's right!" Mr. He smiled slightly, gently stroked Qing Mu's head with his hand, and said with a smile: "Now, Qing Mu has been in Shengyue Xuan for more than half a year, is he homesick?" ”

Qing Mu shook his head, "With Master by his side, Qing Mu is still homesick." ”

Mr. Crane laughed, "I know how to make Master happy!" Master can see it, Xiao Cui has already come to you! ”

"Oops! Master, don't think too much about it, Xiaocui is coming by herself, not asking her to come in vain! Qing Mu hurriedly explained.

"I don't mean to blame you, it's just that a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl like you, who has been away from home for so long, how can it be that she doesn't want to go home?"

"Now that the teacher has taught you all the unique knowledge in his life, but the time has not yet come, if you practice hard, I believe that you will definitely achieve something in a few years." Mr. Crane looked at Qing Mu's eyes and said lightly.

Qing Mu nodded slowly, when he used the "Rainstorm Meteor" sword move just now, he felt a little strange in his heart, and asked curiously: "Master, the apprentice has a question, can I ask you?" ”

"Of course, you ask." Mr. Tsuru replied.

"The rainstorm meteor just now, why does the apprentice feel very familiar, as if he used it half a year ago?" Qing Mu still said the doubts in his heart.

Mr. Crane was slightly stunned in his heart, he couldn't imagine that this girl could see the flaw so quickly, so he said, "Maybe it's a coincidence, right?" After going back, won't you be able to see King Qi? You can ask him in person. ”

Qing Mu was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Master, do you mean to let Qing Mu go down the mountain?" ”

"Master has decided, now you also need to go down the mountain to practice." Mr. Tsuru said.

Qing Mu nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Master is right, Qing Mu just lacks experience, so he should have a good experience!" ”

Mr. Crane looked at her who couldn't laugh for a moment, and slowly shook his head, after all, it was a girl's heart, and she was still a child who had not grown up, how could she hide her own thoughts in front of this person who had lived for most of her life.

He looked at Qing Mu carefully for a while, and then said, "Okay, go down and clean up, and go down the mountain with Xiaocui tomorrow." ”

"It's just, it's just ......" Qing Mu seemed to hesitate a little, and stopped after saying half a sentence.

Mr. Crane was a little puzzled and asked, "Qingmu, what's wrong?" ”

"It's just that the master is left alone on the mountain, Qing Mu is very reluctant to go." Qing Mu bowed his head and replied.

Mr. Crane smiled and said, "You can rest assured of this!" As a teacher, Yunye Crane has always been alone, and when you go to Qixia Mountain, Master travels all over the world and rarely comes back! ”

"Well, but Qing Mu once promised Xiao Rui to take her to the capital with her, and asked Master for your approval!" Qing Mu said hesitantly.

Mr. Tsuru said, "Haha...... As a teacher, I originally had this idea, and I planned to send Xiao Rui to follow you and supervise your practice! ”

"Ahh Master, it turns out that you have thought about it a long time ago, and you didn't say it earlier, so that Qing Mu wasted so many feelings! Qing Mu said a little angrily.

Mr. Crane smiled slightly, and said, "Okay, let's go." Pack up your things, and tomorrow I have a gift for you. ”

Qing Mu became curious and asked, "Master, what is it, why can't you give it to me now?" ”

Mr. Tsuru looked at her sternly as if he was a little angry. Qing Mu was a little apprehensive and lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the master's gaze again, so he only listened: "Go ahead, keep it secret now." Tomorrow will be revealed! ”

Qing Mu turned around and left happily, she remembered that she could go back to the capital so soon to see her long-lost home, as well as the brother who loved her, and the people she cared about, and she was indescribably happy in her heart.

With light steps, I want to tell Xiaocui the good news as soon as possible.

Xiao Rui learned that he could go to the capital with Qing Mu, and he didn't sleep happily. She recalled that over the years, although she had been raised by Lord Xuan, Mr. Crane was usually extremely strict.

Over the years, although she could occasionally visit Yuecheng at the foot of the mountain, she had not been to any other town except Yuecheng.

Now, with this Qingmu, who has just been together for half a year, he feels that he hates to see each other late, and he goes to the capital of Yujin Kingdom, which is the most prosperous city today, and it is inevitable to be a little excited.

When Xiao Cui saw her expression, she felt a little rare and strange in her heart, but because of the county lord's face, she didn't say anything.

At first hearing the news, Qing Mu was also full of joy, and Xiaocui quickly prepared everything needed on the road and waited for tomorrow.

Mr. Tsuru looked at the busy three people and smiled knowingly. After observing in the shadows and yesterday's personal test, Qing Mu had obviously comprehended the essence of his martial arts.

It's just that she's too young now, and in time, she will become a great weapon in the future. Thirty years from now, perhaps her achievements will surpass her current martial arts cultivation.

Now it seems that it is not in vain that he has traveled thousands of miles to find a satisfactory sword all over the world.

Mr. Tsuru opened the bag he brought back and took out a sword, slowly pulled it out of its scabbard, looked at it carefully for a moment, nodded and said to himself, "Sure enough, it's a good sword." ”

The name of this sword is "cutting the moon", and it is actually a sword cast by Guiguzi, a famous sword-casting master in the Spring and Autumn Period. Legend has it that as soon as this sword was born, it killed hundreds of ancient beasts, and since then, there has been no murderous beast hurting people in the Central Plains.

Drink blood into the blade, and it will become an immortal sword. The last time I said goodbye to Qi'er, I heard rumors that this sword appeared in the territory of the Persian Great Stone Kingdom.

When Qi'er entrusted him to take Qingmu as an apprentice, Mr. Crane already had this idea.

In the past six months, after Mr. Crane taught Qing Mu the martial arts method, he left quietly and went to the Persian Dashi country alone, looking for a sword for thousands of miles, and the hard work paid off, and the sword finally fell into his hands.

This sword is about three feet long, the sword is like a thin wing, and the sword body is very light, which is just right for Qing Mu to use. Mr. Crane looked at the sword and tapped his fingers lightly a few times, feeling very satisfied.

The next day, Qing Mu and the others got up early in the morning to say goodbye to the master, and happily led the horse along the mountain path of Wanxiu Peak to the bottom of the mountain. The three of them seemed to be like arrows, and without staying too long, they went straight down the mountain.

As soon as he arrived at the bottom of the mountain, Qing Mu looked at a figure in the distance, his heart was very strange, he thought for a long time, he had no clue, he took a closer look, and asked curiously, "Master, why did you also go down the mountain?" ”

Mr. Crane smiled, "Although the foot is fast enough, it is still a little slower than the teacher expected. This time you must go down the mountain to practice diligently and not slack off. Next time, the teacher will test you in person. ”

Qing Mu nodded silently and said, "Master, the apprentice must follow your teachings!" ”

"Good! Good! Qingmu, come here. Mr. Crane looked at the three of them, smiled faintly, and beckoned to her gently.

Qing Mu was a little curious, yesterday the master clearly said that he wanted to give him a gift, but he didn't see it until he went down the mountain. She just felt strange in her heart, but she didn't dare to ask more, and now that the master had followed them down the mountain, it seemed that he had remembered the matter again.

Qing Mu smiled, trotted to the master's side, and said, "Master! ”

Mr. Crane took out a sword from behind his back, and when Qing Mu looked at it, he was speechless for a long time.

He smiled and asked: "Qing Mu, I didn't give you any gifts for the teacher, I see that you have been practicing hard and fruitful in the past six months, so I found a good sword for you as a teacher, I hope you will like it!" ”

Qing Mu nodded slowly, looked at Master with a confused face, and asked, "Master, if Qing Mu is not mistaken, this sword should be the famous Moon Slashing Sword in ancient times, where did you get such a treasure?" ”

"Qing Mu is really well-informed! That's right, this sword is the Moon Slashing Sword, and I heard that it appeared in the Great Stone Country by chance, so I went to find it half a year ago! Mr. Crane said lightly.

When Qing Mu heard Master's words, she was very grateful and said excitedly, "Master, thank you!" You're so nice to Qingmu! ”

Mr. He said earnestly: "Qing Mu, remember to be a teacher, you must practice martial arts well, and carry forward my Holy Moon Xuan will not be in vain to be a teacher!" ”

"Yes! Remember! Qing Mu replied firmly.

Xiao Rui was a little depressed when he heard the cause and effect of this incident on the side, recalling that although Mr. He was like a loving father to him, he was really different from Sister Qingmu.

She was really a little jealous when she thought of this, her mouth pursed, and she looked at Mr. Crane and Qing Mu angrily.

Xiao Cui saw her expression and quickly understood the reason, walked to her side and patted her gently, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Rui, why do you want to eat my sister's vinegar?" ”

Xiao Rui woke up in shock, his face flushed, and he shook his head and said, "What's the matter, Xiao Cui, don't talk nonsense!" ”

"Good! Good! I don't say, let's go, my sister should be fine! Xiao Cui smiled.

After Qing Mu got up to say goodbye to the master, she looked at the two little girls who were walking behind and whispered a little strangely, so she asked, "Xiaocui, what's wrong with you two?" ”

Xiao Rui hurriedly replied with a little bit of a thief's heart: "Sister, it's nothing, let's go quickly!" As he spoke, he took Qing Mu's hand forward and walked straight down the mountain.

Xiaocui was very angry in a hurry, and now the three horses could only lead by herself. In this way, the three of them hurried to the capital.

Cloud King's Mansion

Half a year ago, Mu Lianyuan of Ziqi Xia Mountain was defeated by Mu Qi, and he has been thinking hard about how to deal with Mu Qi, who has peerless martial arts? I didn't have a clue for months.

On this day, Wang Lin returned to the palace from outside, and King Yun was stunned with a teacup in his hand, as if thinking about something.

Wang Lin was very curious and asked, "Lord Wang, ...... are you?"

Mu Lianyuan was awakened in an instant, looked up, and saw that it was Wang Lin who shook his head in frustration, and said, "It turned out to be Xiao Lin!" ”

"Lord Wang, have you encountered any difficulties? You can say that you can listen to your subordinates, maybe your subordinates will have a way! Wang Lin said leisurely.

Mu Lianyuan looked at Wang Lin, thought for a moment, nodded slowly, and said, "Okay, now it seems that Mu Qi's martial arts are indeed much higher than this king's. If he meets again in the future, Xiaolin, what do you think? ”

Wang Lin rolled his eyes, nodded and said, "Well, what the prince is thinking about is that at the moment, it seems that it is definitely not possible to deal with the prince's strong attack, and he can only outwit!" ”

"I've been thinking about it for months, but I can't think of a better way. With Mu Qi's martial arts, it would be easy to kill this king! ”

"That day's competition was actually his heart, but later there was chaos and the world couldn't see it clearly, so he used his own trick!" Mu Lianyuan said lightly.

Wang Lin was greatly surprised and asked, "Lord Wang, do you mean that in that day's competition, the prince deliberately hid his martial arts!" ”

"This king must be like this after all this period of thinking!" Mu Lianyuan nodded.

"Ahh That's right! The subordinates have been speculating that this prince may have a great relationship with Mr. Crane, but they have not been able to find evidence! ”

Maybe...... Perhaps the prince's martial arts were precisely from Mr. Crane's hand, so he tried his best to refuse to worship the prince and you under his door that day! Wang Lin thought for a moment and said again.

Mu Lianyuan pondered for a moment, and then said, "What you said has a certain amount of truth, and now it seems that this is the most reasonable explanation." In this way, Xiao Lin, you secretly check the relationship between the prince and this Holy Moon Xuan, you must find the enemy's weakness in order to have a certain chance of winning! ”

"Yes! The subordinates must live up to their mission and find out this matter clearly! Wang Lin assured.

General's Palace

When Qing Mu returned to the capital, a few days ago, Mu Qi had already received a letter from his master from flying pigeons. Although he is very happy, his father is not in good health at the moment, and he has been busy taking care of his father these days, and it seems that Qing Mu has been left behind.

When he went to the General's Mansion to tell Qing Lun about this, he learned that dozens of days ago, Xiao Cui went to Qixia Mountain alone to visit Qing Mu.

In fact, Mu Qi regretted it very much in his heart, but there was no good way at the moment. When his father was seriously ill, he really didn't care about the private affairs of these children, if he was a little careless, and King Yun took the lead, I am afraid that he would never recover.

Qing Lun learned from his eldest brother that Qing Mu was about to return to the capital, and his heart was full of joy. He quickly reported the news to his father.

Qing Zhen looked relatively silent, with no expression on his face, and said a little angrily: "Qing Mu, she even knows how to go home!" In her eyes, is there a father like me! Just go, don't leave a word! ”

"Dad, how can you say that about my sister? I agreed to this, and I have reported it to you myself! Qing Lun was a little incredulous and hurriedly explained.

"Humph! It's good that I don't have this daughter! Qing Zhen still said angrily, and after he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.

Qinglun felt a little inexplicable, although Qing Mu was usually a little willful and did not stick to the subtleties, but he didn't know where the knot between this father and Qing Mu was?
