The mountain behind Tianyuan Peak, Tianquan Sword Pavilion.

"You are very good, you were unknown three months ago, but after a trip down the mountain, you can fight a draw with Xiao Chu, the best among the new disciples, when you come back."

At this time, Bai Shi did not hide his good impression of Zhong Xia.

Zhong Xia modestly pushed the credit to Yuehualu, and Bai Shi didn't say much about it, and said directly: "Take this token, follow this route, go to Aoki Sea, although I personally accepted you as a disciple, but I have seen your battle, I have a friend, who is more suitable to help you lay a good foundation, go." ”

Shiraishi took out a grass grasshopper as a token and waved his hand to let Zhong Xia leave.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Half a day later, Zhong Xia, who was full of doubts, walked for a long time before he followed the red line on the map given to him by Baishi and found a beautiful Wutong Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain on the back side of the mountain, with the shade of the mountain in the back, it is very shady, and the scenery is very quiet and beautiful.

As far as the eye can see, the grove spreads into the distance, and at the end of the path is a huge lake.

The lake is as clear as a blue crystal, with a cool breeze and gentle ripples, and a small courtyard of three wooden houses sits on the edge of the lake.

Zhong Xia took a closer look and found that the foundations of these wooden houses were completely connected to a large tree around them, and even a few bright small flowers barely grew in the gaps in the wooden planks of the walkway.

Zhong Xia knocked on the door gently, but the surroundings were so quiet that only the crisp chirping of birds sounded, he couldn't help but wonder, who lived there, and was so tasteful?

But before Zhong Xia thought too much. His body stiffened suddenly, and a big hand was like an iron tong, tightly wrapped around his neck, but Zhong Xia couldn't feel that there was someone behind him.

"Who are you? Where are you from? What do you want to do? ”

This person didn't wait for Zhong Xia to answer, and his big hand gradually strengthened. Lifted him from the spot, as if to accurately calculate his limit, and let go when his face was extremely red.

Bang!

Zhong Xia fell to the ground, covered his neck with his hands, and coughed violently for a while. I looked back in horror, but I saw something completely different from what I had imagined.

A beautiful young woman stood with her hands smiling, tall and graceful, wearing a Xuanqing robe. The long inky hair was tied with a cyan band, and he carried a sword box behind him, flowing with the intention of being out of the dust.

Obviously, it was this beautiful and bewitching young woman who used her spiritual power to turn into a big hand and restrain him.

Rao is Zhong Xia has seen a lot of superb beauties, and he can't help but be stunned by this beautiful and beneficial face, saying that it is demonic. That's actually an indescribable enchanting temperament.

Zhong Xia settled down before he said, "My surname is Ye Mingjian, and Elder Baishi asked me to come." After a month of practicing with the master here, you are my master? ”

"Elder Shiraishi...... Oh, it turned out to be introduced by Xiaobai. The demon girl blinked, and said with a smile: "Master? If you'd like, I'd love to take an apprentice to relieve my boredom. ”

When Zhong Xia heard the word "relieve boredom", he had a slight premonition in his heart. Ying said: "I will definitely not disappoint Master, by the way." Master...... This is a token. ”

took out the grasshopper in his arms, but the demon girl was just a flick of the void. This thing fell back into Zhong Xia's arms, and her smile was born with a kind of enchanting power, which made people feel a sense of trust.

But Zhong Xia didn't seem to feel it at all, but the corners of his mouth twitched, which seemed to be different from the plot he had in mind.

"Haha, baby apprentice, the special training is very terrifying, it is specially prepared for your weak physique, the exercises of the teacher are unfathomable, you have to be extremely strong to practice, you have to be prepared to endure hardships."

The demon girl laughed heartily, and with a false move, Zhong Xia was as weak as a chicken, and she used her mana to conjure up the collar in her big hand, and flew to the lake unprepared.

Carried by this cheap master, Zhong Xia flew over the lake, flew over the woods, and until he reached a high mountain, the demon girl did not stop, but after throwing Zhong Xia down, he no longer paid attention to him.

After waiting for a while, Zhong Xia finally couldn't help it and asked, "Master, the disciple still doesn't know what to call you." ”

Unexpectedly, this person looked like he had just woken up from a dream, patted his forehead, and said with a bright smile: "I'm sorry, I was thinking about your training plan just now, so let's call me Master Hongjue." ”

Master Hongjue?

Zhong Xia muttered twice, only to feel strange.

Syllable!

As soon as this thought was born, someone knocked him on the head, and this Hong Jue glared at him angrily and shouted: "The name is just a code name, what do you care about?" Now it's time for the first day of training. ”

"Ah, Master, what kind of special training method is this?"

Zhong Xia has encountered strange things today, and his brain is really a little unturnable.

"Move this pile of stones here, and make a pile of firewood by the way, if you haven't done it when Master comes back from hunting, don't think about eating tonight!"

Hong Jue seemed to think that it tasted good, and knocked Zhong Xia again very proudly, and Zhong Xia followed his gaze, only to see that there was indeed a pile of gravel in the open space on the top of the mountain, piled up as high as a hill, as if it was piled up with several elephants.

And pointed to the imaginary stroke, and in the open space ten zhang away from the pile of rubble, a large circle was drawn, Hong Jue was very satisfied with his masterpiece, and no longer paid attention to Zhong Xia, and suddenly brushed his sleeves away.

This clock Xia suddenly shouted loudly below.

"Master, you sealed my mana...... How can this rely on the body lì to be moved! ”

"Someone, help me!"

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

When he moved a small half of the stone, Zhong Xia was as soft as paralyzed mud, his palms were already red and swollen, he was lying on the ground, staring at the blue sky with his eyes blank, not knowing why his special training road was so bumpy?

"I really want to know how other people cultivate immortals, why do I feel more like being a coolie?"

This gravel mountain, in total, weighs nearly 100 tons, which is equivalent to the weight of hundreds of draped war horses, or 100 giant elephants.

And simply by manpower, from the morning to the twilight now, Zhong Xia has only completed half of the goal.

This is still Zhong Xia's usual exercise on weekdays, and it is nourished by mana, otherwise if he is an ordinary man in the prime of life, it will take at least three people to move it within twelve hours.

"No! Isn't it just a change of tricks? If you haven't died yet, you have to keep trying! ”

Seeing that the sun was gradually setting in the west, and Master Hong Jue was still nowhere to be seen, Zhong Xia suddenly gave birth to an inexplicable force, supported by a mechanical body, and walked to the gravel pile.

Bend over and exert strength......

"Drink!"

Rise!

This stone was as wide as the two of them, and after picking it up, Zhong Xia couldn't see the road in front of him clearly, so he could only walk forward step by step by feeling.

Rumble!

Throwing it in the circle, Zhong Xia's legs suddenly went limp, but with both hands propped up, he still gritted his teeth and turned back, and his eyes viciously picked the next target.

"Damn, Lao Tzu is not so easy to defeat, get me up!"

When his body was exhausted, Zhong Xia began to deceive his body, constantly squeezing more potential strength.

I don't know when, the stars are rising.

Zhong Xia put down the last boulder, the corners of his mouth slowly hooked, his body finally squeezed dry, and even exceeded the limit, and he fell behind him, he was too lazy to think about anything anymore, and he was even mentally exhausted.

"You ...... Look, I've done the impossible, so I still have a lot of potential, huh? ”

With one last vague thought, Zhong Xia was about to fall into the infinite darkness and sleep a dream that would never wake up again.

"Stupid apprentice, wake up, you'll be in trouble if you really sleep!"

At this moment, a clear shout shook his soul, as if someone had torn the maze from the boundless darkness with great force, bringing him a bright light, making him yearn for it incomparably.

"Obey, listen to me, and run with the air!"

The voice drank again, and in a daze, Zhong Xia knew that he had been stuffed with something like an elixir, and his mouth would melt, but it would be easy to swallow, otherwise he would not even have the strength to swallow.

I didn't have time to think too much, and a wisp of mana suddenly broke into my body, although it was weak, but it was full of a sense of contempt, and it began to run freely in Zhong Xia's body.

Under Zhong Xia's intentional indulgence, the mana in his body was as well-behaved as a team of babies, and he followed the captain to start drilling, following a meridian route that had never been walked before.

If it was a normal time, it would be possible to reopen a meridian route, depending on the difficulty of the exercises, between dozens of days and several years, but after this body was ruthlessly destroyed by Zhong Xia, the meridians in the body were really the most vulnerable.

Therefore, when the mana is exhausted, if you only know that you have fallen asleep, the mana will escape and collapse at the least, so that the cultivation will regress, and the cultivation will dissipate and shake the foundation, which is the biggest taboo in cultivation.

At the same time as the mana is running inexhaustibly, the jade pill turns into medicinal power, which is the same as the Taoist method to practice the effect of the elixir, such as the spring breeze turning into drizzle and moisturizing things silently.

If it is from this extremely tired body, then these medicinal powers are like sheep to hungry tigers, and every inch of the body is like a hungry and thirsty to start grabbing it frantically, and in just a few moments, it has already seen improvement.

At least from the outside world's point of view, Zhong Xia's cheap master no longer needs to support his body with strength.

At this moment, Zhong Xia's body was already on the right track, Master Hong Jue was touching her chin that was not smooth and graceful, her posture was particularly charming, she stared at Zhong Xia's gaze, full of interest.

"I'm just saying that I've been too bored to pass the time with this little guy, but I don't want to be a real piece of jade."

Talking to herself, this beautiful and bewitching face showed a chilling smile, and the air around her changed with her mood, and it suddenly cooled a little. (To be continued)
