Chapter 4: Martial Arts and Life

"Who is it?" Xiao Ruixue was taken aback, but she looked left and right, but she didn't see anyone, and no one responded to her, but she obviously heard someone talking just now, and it was a man's voice, so she shouted softly: "It's a manly husband, don't sneak around, dare to speak and dare not show up!" ”

"Haha!" There was a burst of laughter overhead, Xiao Ruixue immediately looked up, and saw a person in blue clothes falling up and down the trunk of a locust tree, standing four or five steps in front of him. Xiao Ruixue was shocked in her heart, because she had checked the surrounding tree trunks before and found that there was no one at all, when did this person appear there silently?

Xiao Ruixue looked at the man carefully and found that he turned out to be a middle-aged Taoist priest, dressed in a blue Taoist robe, holding a whisk, with a plain face, a long goatee under the chin, just a little messy, it seemed to be neglected, and the Taoist priest was also looking at her with a smile.

People don't know whether it is evil or good, Xiao Ruixue is a little vigilant, and tries to ask, "Who are you a Taoist priest?" Why is it in this temple? ”

The Taoist priest laughed: "Can't the Taoist priest appear in the temple?" I'm still curious, you little lady, don't go to the front hall to pray for God and worship Buddha, why did you come to this back mountain? ”

Xiao Ruixue saw that he avoided his question and did not answer, so she knew that it was in vain to ask, but she was apprehensive about the Taoist priest's previous sentence, so she said, "What did you mean by saying that I would not be able to save my life?" ”

The Taoist priest smiled but did not speak.

Xiao Ruixue was a little angry, and said: "You old way, since you peeked at me practicing and said something inexplicable, I ask you the reason now, why don't you say it?" ”

The Taoist priest raised his eyelids and said lazily: "I have lived for dozens of years, you are a stinky little lady, a Taoist priest on the left, an old Taoist on the right, you have no respect at all, and you want to ask questions from my mouth that are vital to your life, this is too difficult for a strong man, right?" ”

Xiao Ruixue said: "You peeked at me silently and silently, it's a villain's act, why should I respect you?" “

The Taoist priest smiled: "It's okay, I'm not right!" If you call me a sermon now, I'll tell you why! ”

Xiao Ruixue sneered.

The Taoist priest was happy: "What a little lady, not very old, but not a small temper!" I'll tell you kindly, I just didn't mean to pass by when you practiced here before, but I found that you are a little lady, and your martial arts path is extremely fierce, so I curiously went up the tree to observe you for a long time. If what I expected is correct, in addition to the martial arts routines you show, you should also have the same internal strength and mental methods to complement you! Seeing that Xiao Ruixue was slightly moved, he continued: "However, everything in heaven and earth is divided into yin and yang, and martial arts are actually the same. But if it involves internal strength, if you insist on inverting yin and yang, you will only hurt yourself. For example, if you practice the internal skills, if a man comes to practice, it is definitely a first-class mastery, but if you come to practice, it will cause the meridians to be disordered, the qi and blood will be blocked due to the opposition of yin and yang, and eventually the five internal organs will be injured! When I saw you clutching your chest just now, was it because you felt angina? In fact, if you force practice like this every time, I'm afraid you will really not be far from death! ”

Xiao Ruixue was very surprised in her heart, because the truth was indeed as this Taoist priest said, at this time, she didn't dare to be disrespectful to this Taoist priest, so she said very sincerely: "Then according to the Taoist leader's opinion, what should I do?" ”

The Taoist priest smiled: "You just don't continue to practice!" ”

Xiao Ruixue shook her head.

The Taoist priest was surprised: "Why, you little lady actually attaches so much importance to martial arts?" I'm curious, looking at your dress, it should be the little lady of an ordinary rich and noble family, where did you learn this set of martial arts? If there is a master to teach, then I can only say that you, the master, are really harmful! ”

Xiao Ruixue smiled bitterly in her heart, her martial arts were naturally taught by her master, but that was already in her previous life, and she was still a man in her previous life, so the master probably felt that there was no need to remind her, so it led to the result that she went astray in this life.

But now persuade her not to practice, she can't let go, martial arts and memory are the link between her and her previous life, and it is also her pitiful reliance to achieve the goal in her heart, which one of them she discarded, she feels that she is just a walking dead in this life. At this point, Xiao Ruixue smiled: "Let me not practice, I can't do it, if I really lose my life in the end, then I can't blame anyone, I can only say that God is like this!" ”

The Taoist priest was stunned, he looked at Xiao Ruixue again, the little lady in front of him looked very young, her family looked wealthy, and she didn't look like a person who had suffered too much, so what was the reason for her to say such old-fashioned words. The Taoist priest was puzzled, he also saw that in terms of this little girl's physical qualifications, if she was purely a woman, with her appearance, she would definitely be a generation of stunners when she grew up, but in terms of martial arts, not to mention any bone essence, I am afraid that it would not even be called ordinary materials. However, judging from the martial arts skills she has shown so far, she has undoubtedly surpassed many of her peers who are extremely talented and have seen her, which can only be explained by the fact that this little lady's perseverance is actually much higher than ordinary people.

The Taoist priest asked Xiao Ruixue in a very gentle tone: "Little lady, can you tell me the reason why you insist?" ”

Xiao Ruixue glanced at him: "Can't!" Without waiting for the Taoist priest to react, she herself smiled: "Because you can't believe it when you say it, and it is impossible for anyone to believe it, so I won't be bored with myself, and I will add trouble to myself!" ”

Hearing this, the Taoist priest didn't plan to ask again, but laughed, he felt that this little lady was quite interesting, his temper was already weird, but he didn't expect that there would be someone as eccentric as him.

At this time, Xiao Ruixue seemed to remember something, and suddenly ran away.

The Taoist priest was a little baffled, and hurriedly asked, "Little lady, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

Xiao Ruixue didn't look back: "I can't tell you clearly, I'm not in a hurry, I won't even have a chance to go out in the future!" ”

The Taoist priest shouted: "Little Niang, you wait a minute, in fact, the martial arts you practice and your life are not incompatible!" ”

"Auntie, I'm back!" At the gate of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, Xiao Ruixue galloped like the wind.

Mrs. Gu frowned: "Ruixue, you've been there for more than half an hour, don't you plan to go out in the future?" ”

"I'm sorry, auntie! Don't tell my mother when you go back, I beg you! Xiao Ruixue's expression was very self-reproachful.

Mrs. Gu's heart still softened, she wiped her sweat for Xiao Ruixue, and said softly: "Okay, I won't tell your mother this time, but remember not to take it as an example!" ”

Xiao Ruixue smiled: "Thank you, auntie, you are the best for me!" ”

Mrs. Gu pointed to Xiao Ruixue's head: "You girl, your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter!" ”

It was almost dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the earth, turning a golden yellow.

Mrs. Gu took Xiao Ruixue's hand: "Okay, let's go home!" ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Ruixue nodded obediently, but in her mind, she remembered the last words that the middle-aged Taoist priest said to herself: "I have a way to help you improve your internal strength!" If you believe in me and are sincere, then come here tomorrow and ask me for advice! ”
