CHAPTER XV

In the Valley of the Immortals, Zhang Jinlei is teaching Xuanyuan Yuxiao, Luo Yihan, and Zhang Feimo to practice martial arts in the back mountain.

The three of them stood in a row with wooden swords in their hands, separated by a little distance from each other.

Zhang Jinlei stood in front of them with a wooden stick in his hand and asked them: "How did you practice the swordsmanship 'lunge straight stab' that you taught you before the teacher?" ”

"Master, the swordsmanship has been learned." Xuanyuan Yuxiao replied.

"Han'er, what about you?" Zhang Jinlei asked Luo Yihan.

In vain...... In vain...... It seems to have forgotten. Luo Yihan scratched the back of his head and said in a slurred manner.

Hearing this, Zhang Jinlei made a straight face and said solemnly: "This is the most basic swordsmanship step, you can't even learn the most basic, how do you learn the rest of it?" ”

Luo Yihan lowered his head when he was reprimanded by the master and didn't say a word.

At this time, Xuanyuan Yuxiao said to the master, "Master, the apprentice will do his best to teach his younger brother. ”

"Han'er is not as witty as you in martial arts, you are not only his senior brother, but also his elder brother, and you should teach him more." Zhang Jinlei said.

"Master rest assured, the apprentice will teach his younger brother." Xuanyuan Yuxiao said this to the master, but his eyes looked at his younger brother, as if telling him with his eyes, "Come on, brother".

At this time, Luo Yihan glanced at his brother, and then smiled slightly, feeling happy in his heart.

At this moment, Zhang Feimo said to Luo Yihan: "Second senior brother, I will also teach you." ”

Hearing this, Luo Yihan looked at his junior sister and said with a smile: "Thank you, junior sister." ”

At this time, Zhang Jinlei said to them: "Don't worry about talking, today I will teach you the two styles of swordsmanship 'back and split'." ”

Hearing this, they stood in order, waiting for Master's command.

"The knee of the left foot is straight, the right foot is bent and takes a step forward, the upper body turns to the right while the wooden sword of the right hand passes through the top and slashes back, the sword and the shoulder are level, the thumb side is on the top, and the sword finger of the left hand arcs around the ring from the bottom to the front, and the thumb side is on the bottom side." Zhang Jinlei ordered.

They listened to Master's instructions and made movements.

At this time, Zhang Jinlei corrected: "Stepping up, turning, flat splitting and sword pointing upwards must be coordinated. As he spoke, he walked to Luo Yihan's side, hit Luo Yihan on his left leg with a stick, and corrected: "Don't move your left foot, the sword body and sword arm must be in a straight line." After speaking, he hit Luo Yihan's ass with another stick and reprimanded: "Don't you understand what you say for the teacher?" Looking at your absent-minded appearance, don't you want to learn martial arts? As he spoke, he raised his stick and was about to beat it, when Xuanyuan Yuxiao hurriedly walked to Luo Yihan's side, and then said to the master: "Master, don't beat your brother, you want to beat me!" ”

What are you hitting for? It's not like you won't. After Zhang Jinlei finished speaking, he sighed, and then said to Luo Yihan: "Han'er, beating you for the teacher doesn't mean that you don't hurt you, if the teacher doesn't take you seriously, you are so slow, even if you study for ten years, you won't be able to learn." ”

"Master, the apprentice understands your hard work," Luo Yihan said, "I don't know what's wrong today?" The apprentice's heart beats very fast, and he always feels uncomfortable. ”

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yuxiao nervously asked his younger brother: "Brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

I don't know what's wrong, it's just that my heart is beating so fast." Luo Yihan said.

At this time, Zhang Jinlei said: "These days, I let you practice martial arts every day for my teacher, and today I let you take a vacation, have a good time, and relax." ”

"Yes, yes!" Zhang Feimo clapped his hands and shouted, and then said to the two senior brothers: "Senior brother, second senior brother, I'll take you to the garden to pick flowers!" The flowers in the garden are in a particularly beautiful bloom. ”

"Girls like flowers, and we boys don't like flowers." After Xuanyuan Yuxiao finished speaking, he then asked his younger brother: "Brother, where do you want to play?" ”

"I miss my mom and dad." Luo Yihan said.

Speaking of "stepfather and mother", Xuanyuan Yuxiao said: "I also miss my father-in-law."

At this time, Zhang Jinlei said to Luo Yihan: "Your father is really, he said that he would come every three or five times, it's been almost a month, but he just came to see you, and he also said that he would send peach blossom brew to the teacher, but there is not even a figure until now." ”

"My dad must be too busy," Luo Yihan said, "Master, the apprentice wants to go home to visit his father, okay?" ”

"It's not safe for you to go home alone as a teacher," Zhang Jinlei said, "or send you home for your teacher!" ”

At this time, Xuanyuan Yuxiao said to the master, "Master, the apprentice wants to go home with his younger brother. ”

"Okay, I'll send you both home together." After Zhang Jinlei finished speaking, he explained to his daughter: "Feimo, you go to accompany your mother." After speaking, he left the Immortal Valley with Xuanyuan Yuxiao and Luo Yihan.

＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿

After they left the Valley of the Immortals, Zhang Jinlei took Xuanyuan Yuxiao with one hand and Luo Yihan with the other, walked for a while, and suddenly said: "Xiao'er, Han'er, let's take you on the waterway for the teacher!" As long as you cross the lake by boat, you will arrive at Luohua Village. ”

Is there a lake here?" Luo Yihan said as he walked, "Why didn't Master say it earlier, the last time I came here with my father, I walked on foot, and after walking for three days and three nights, my feet were about to break." ”

Zhang Jinlei touched the hair on the top of Luo Yihan's head and smiled: "Silly boy, you didn't write a letter to the teacher in advance, how did the teacher know that you were coming." ”

"Master's martial arts are strong, won't he be clever?"

"No matter how good the martial arts are, people are not immortals." Zhang Jinlei shook his head, a little helpless.

At this time, Xuanyuan Yuxiao asked the master as he walked: "Master, your martial arts are so good, why don't you set up your own sect and accept more apprentices?" Let the apprentices carry forward your martial arts, and you too can become a grandmaster. ”

"Practicing martial arts for a teacher is just to strengthen the body, not to stand on your own," Zhang Jinlei said as he walked, "I like to live a leisurely and comfortable life, and I don't want to be too ostentatious, so as not to cause trouble." ”

Hearing Master's words, Xuanyuan Yuxiao and Luo Yihan both nodded, indicating that what Master said was right.

After Zhang Jinlei finished speaking, he asked the two apprentices: "Then what are you learning martial arts for?" ”

Xuanyuan Yuxiao didn't dare to say that it was for revenge, so he had to lie and said: "The apprentice is the same as the master, in order to strengthen his body. ”

The apprentice is because his brother wants to learn, so he accompanies his brother to learn together. Luo Yihan told the truth.

The three of them, master and apprentice, you and I said a word, and unconsciously walked to the lake.

When I came to the lake, I saw a boatman rowing on the lake.

"Boatman, this way." Zhang Jinlei waved and shouted to the boatman.

The boatman was not far from them, Zhang Jinlei only shouted, and the boatman had already heard it, and then hurriedly quickened his speed and rushed in their direction, and arrived in a short time.

The boatman was about fifty years old and dressed in shabby clothes.

Zhang Jinlei took an apprentice in one hand, walked to the boat, and then said to the boatman: "The boatman, send us to Luohua Village." ”

"Okay," said the boatman, "get on board!" ”

As soon as the three of them got on the boat, they heard a voice: "Dad, my mother's old illness has recurred." Then I saw Zhang Feimo running in their direction.

Zhang Jinlei saw that it was his daughter, and hurriedly walked down from the boat to greet him.

At this time, Zhang Feimo had already run in front of her father, she ran out of breath, and panted and said, "Dad, my mother fainted." ”

"How can the old disease recur at this time?" Zhang Jinlei was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.

At this time, Xuanyuan Yuxiao said to the master: "Master, the old illness of the master has recurred, you better go back first!" The apprentice now knows martial arts and will protect his younger brother, so don't worry! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Jinlei hesitated for a while, then walked to the boat and instructed the two apprentices: "Xiao'er, Han'er, be more careful along the way and take care of yourself." ”

"Master rest assured, we will take care of ourselves." Xuanyuan Yuxiao said.

"When you come back, remember to bring good wine for the teacher." Zhang Jinlei reminded.

"Okay." Luo Yihan said.

Zhang Jinlei smiled, then walked to the boatman's side, took out a bag of silver, put it in the boatman's hand, and said: "Trouble the boatman along the way, take care of these two children for me, and send them to Luohua Village safely, this silver is only half of the remuneration, and I will give you the rest when I come back." ”

Rest assured! I'll take care of them for you. The boatman readily agreed.

Hearing this, Zhang Jinlei was relieved, then walked down from the boat, turned to face them, and then waved his hand to Xiao'er and Han'er, and said, "Xiao'er, Han'er, come back early." ”

At this time, Zhang Feimo raised his hands, waved his hands at them, and said, "Senior brother, second senior brother, come back early." ”

Xuanyuan Yuxiao also raised his hands, waved his hands to the master, and said, "Goodbye, master, goodbye, sister, we will be back soon." ”

Luo Yihan waved his hand and smiled slightly at his master and sister.

Zhang Jinlei and his daughter watched the boat float away without a trace, and then they reluctantly left the place.
