Out of the martial arts arena, Jiang Mubai met Shishan head-on.

Shi Shan stood in the courtyard and beckoned to him: "You came just in time, I was just going to your house to look for you." Put your things and come with me. ”

Unlike yesterday's casual outfit, Shi Shan wore a military uniform with white lines on a black background today.

The military costume is a formal dress designed for warriors in combination with the characteristics of Tang and Han warrior uniforms, which is equivalent to the status of the robes of Fa Xiu.

Regardless of men and women, military uniforms are the first choice for martial artists to dress for serious occasions.

Jiang Mubai didn't ask much, put down the book in his hand and followed Shi Shan to the practice room. Although Shi Shan didn't say it, Jiang Mubai could guess that Senior Brother Shi changed into this martial arts uniform in order to lead him, a little junior brother, into the inner door.

The inner door of the Juying Pavilion is the back door of the practice room, a wooden door that has been used for decades.

The short crossbar at the deadbolt has lost its paint, the door lock is missing, and it looks so ordinary that it can't be more ordinary, the only thing worth noting is the couplet pasted on both sides of the door frame:

[The martial arts road is bumpy and sixfold, and it is easy to push the door and difficult to enter. 】

Squeak, Shishan pushed open the wooden door, outside the door is a courtyard enclosed by a fence, about eighty or ninety square meters, in front of the fence farthest from the wooden door, there is a small thatched house, the thatched house is planted with flowers and plants left and right.

In the center of the courtyard, there is a rockery made of Lingbi stone, and a small lake is built by turtle pattern stone at the bottom of the mountain, and the clear water in the lake reflects the emerald green of the lake bottom. The combination of mountains and rivers, the peaks and ravines are turbulent, the twists and turns are far away, although it is difficult to reflect the majesty of the high mountains, but there is the charm of "a piece of mountain is caused, and every inch of stone is loved".

There is a girl with beautiful facial features next to the rockery, who looks only eighteen or nineteen years old, but there is the charm of a mature woman between her eyebrows.

The greater contrast than this is that she is holding flowers in her left hand and dancing a sword in her right hand, and her figure and footwork are pleasing to the eye, but she is wearing a robe.

Shi Shan stretched out his hand and pointed to the thatched hut and said: "Little junior brother, did you see that thatched hut, back then, the master accepted the master in that thatched hut, and this small courtyard was the predecessor of Juying Pavilion, and after passing this door, he entered the inner door." ”

After speaking, Shi Shan took the lead.

Jiang Mubai followed and went out the door, forcibly suppressing his curiosity and not asking questions.

"This is, I want to think about it......" Shi Shan turned his finger to the sword dancing woman and paused for a moment, "You can call her Senior Sister Qiu." ”

"Senior sister?" Jiang Mubai was stunned, he remembered that Liu Longhu had said that before him, there were only three inner disciples in the Juying Pavilion.

"Yes, Senior Sister Qiu is very good-looking, in fact, she is half a round older than you." Shi Shan kept looking at Qiu Yi when he spoke, and the love in his eyes was hard to hide.

"Senior Brother Shi, I never heard that there is a senior sister at the inner door of our Juying Pavilion?"

"Oh, that's a long story." Shi Shan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Senior Sister Qiu's full name is Qiu Yi, she is the only daughter of the master, and the junior sister has a very high talent in swordsmanship, because I practice the mountain splitting stick method of the sect, and the junior brother Shi practices the boxing technique, so the master has always hoped that Senior Sister Qiu can practice the Xiaoshan dragon-shaped sword of the sect, but ......"

"But Senior Sister Qiu has become a Fa cultivator?" Jiang Mubai looked at Qiu Yi's robe, thoughtful.

Shi Shan corrected: "It's not Fa cultivation, it's sword cultivation." ”

"Sword cultivation?"

Before Shi Shan could explain, Jiang Mubai saw the long sword held by Qiu Yi come out of his hand and rush straight into the air.

The moment the long sword was struck, Qiu Yi stretched out his left arm, tapped the stone bricks on the tip of his toes, and rotated seven hundred and twenty degrees on the spot. And the long sword above her head seemed to be unaffected by gravity, and it was stagnant in mid-air.

When the petals fell, Qiu Yi's right hand was erected in front of her chest, and the long sword in the air turned like a living thing, flying around her twice quickly and accurately.

Then, the long sword was sheathed by itself, and Jiang Mubai's eyes fell to the ground, and he found that all the petals that fell to the ground were broken.

Qiu Yi turned to look at the two people in front of the wooden door, and lightly opened his lips: "Sword cultivation, that is, a monk who regards the way of the sword as a great way, judging from the traditional concept of school division, I am neither a martial cultivator nor a law cultivator, but an outlier in between. When the sword is in my hand, I am a martial cultivator, and when the sword is out of my hand, I am a Dharma cultivator. I wear a robe because I am an assistant teacher in the sword department of the Yedu Dharma Seminary. ”

And such a thing?

is both martial and legal cultivation, isn't that the dual cultivation of magic and martial arts that is common in the identity of the protagonist?

Jiang Mubai heard this statement and saluted and thanked: "Senior Sister Xie for solving your doubts." ”

Qiu Yi shook her head: "Senior sister doesn't have to be polite. ”

“……”

"She's kidding you." Shi Shan patted Jiang Mubai on the shoulder and laughed, "Actually, sword cultivation is not a new thing, it is just a branch of instrument cultivation. The older generation all believe that only specialization can achieve the Tao, so the sword cultivation of both refining the physique and cultivating the Yuan Shen has always been non-mainstream. In a small place like Dingwu, sword cultivation is rare, but in big cities like Yedu and Linhai, there are not a thousand or eight hundred non-mainstream monks. ”

In this way, Qiu Yangsheng, the owner of Juying Pavilion, obviously belongs to the older generation, and it is normal for the two generations to have different concepts and contradictions.

It is estimated that the owner of the Qiu Pavilion does not approve of sword cultivation and does not agree with his daughter's choice, so there is an awkward quarrel between father and daughter. The plot behind is not difficult to guess, eight * nine times out of ten, Qiu Yi was admitted to Yedu University, and did not return to Dingwu after graduation, but stayed in the college as a teaching assistant.

This is also normal, just like in the past, young people who chose freelancing or nascent industries mostly chose to stay in the big city, because the big city is big enough, because the people who live in the big city are used to seeing the prosperity and change, so there is room for outliers.

"Senior sister, how long will you stay when you come back this time?" When Ishiyama asked, he scratched his head like a little boy.

"For three days, I made a special trip to come back for my junior brother's apprenticeship banquet, and I only took three days off."

"Oh, how long will you not stay for a few more days? Master doesn't say it, but he actually misses you very much in his heart. Ishiyama began to force an awkward conversation.

"Oh? Master misses me? What about you, Big Rock, do you miss me? ”

Qiu Yi smiled at the corner of his mouth, and one sentence made Shi Shan shut his mouth.

Jiang Mubai shook his head secretly, and suddenly felt sympathy for Shi Shan in his heart. is also a martial idiot, Senior Brother Shi has been married anyway, and this Senior Brother Shi must be single so far.

Qiu Yi's joke only started here, because the owner of the Qiu Pavilion walked out of the hut with Shi Guangwen.

At this time, Qiu Yangsheng was wearing a military uniform, holding a sword, and his face was solemn, showing the majesty of the head of a faction, and there was no kindness and kindness.

Seeing the master appear, Shi Shan put aside his chaotic thoughts and stood to Jiang Mubai's left side like a javelin.

Qiu Yi's expression was a little arrogant, but he also obediently walked to the right side of the stone mountain and stood in a good position.

When Shi Guangwen stood between Shishan and Qiu Yi, and the four of them were side by side, Qiu Yangsheng held the scabbard in both hands and raised the sword in his hand to Qi Mei.

"Meet the Master."

Shi Shan, Shi Guangwen, and Qiu Yi bowed in unison.

Shizu?

The sword?

Jiang Mubai didn't have time to think about it, and endured the faint pain in the injury and bent over.

In a solemn and dignified atmosphere, Jiang Mubai heard the voice of the Qiu Pavilion Master.

"Okay, the ancestor has worshipped, Jiang Xiaobai will be your junior brother in the future, you as a senior brother and sister, you must take care of him. If there's nothing else to do, I'm going to sweep the floor. ”

Jiang Mubai looked up in amazement, and happened to see the Qiu Pavilion Master put down his sword and pick up a broom.

This......

Shi Shan saw Jiang Mubai's stunned expression, and said with a smile: "I told you, this is the style of our Juying Pavilion, just get used to it." Now wait for the official announcement of the apprenticeship banquet, go, I will take you to order a set of martial arts uniforms, you can't wear practice uniforms at the apprenticeship banquet. ”
