With this promise, in the next few days, in Xia Sheng's life, in addition to carrying water, soaking in the spring, practicing swords, eating, and sleeping, there were two more things.

One is to read books, reading "Miscellaneous Treatises on Spiritual Weapons".

The second is to teach the mute mother-in-law combat skills.

It's really a bit incredible to say, in terms of age, the mute mother-in-law is older than Xia Sheng IX combined, and in terms of cultivation, the mute mother-in-law has thrown Xia Sheng countless streets, but in the battle, Xia Sheng has become her teacher.

But neither of them felt that there was anything wrong with such a "master-apprentice" relationship.

The days went by like this, and before I knew it, Xia Sheng had been practicing in retreat in the mountain behind the academy for a whole month.

According to the agreement with Tang Zi'an at the beginning, it was almost time to get out of the customs.

It is worth mentioning that during this month's time, Tang Zi'an did not come to Houshan to visit Xia Sheng once, and the ban on Houshan was also strictly enforced.

So from a certain point of view, Xia Sheng's month of retreat in the back mountains can be regarded as completely isolated from the world.

Although it is not as much as January in the mountains, it has been such an exaggeration in the world for thousands of years, but I have to admit that Xia Sheng is indeed closed to all information about the outside world.

I don't know what new changes have happened in the Spring and Autumn Academy during this month, and I don't know what major events have happened in the capital outside Buju Mountain.

Has Mo Yuan found out the truth about his sister's death? Has the murderer of Second Master Qin been caught? The most important thing is, is there any new information about the whereabouts of my father?

Xia Sheng didn't know anything.

Fortunately, this situation is coming to an end.

Today's Xia Sheng was a little earlier than usual, and as soon as the sky was faintly bright, he walked out of the tent. Then he walked out of the Xuanpu Garden with a bucket.

It took less than half an hour for Xia Sheng to come back with water.

Obviously, today he did not practice in the spiritual spring, nor did he practice the sword, because he had already made full preparations.

After returning to Xuanpu Garden, Xia Sheng did not disturb the mute mother-in-law who was still resting. Instead, he put the "Miscellaneous Treatise on Spiritual Weapons" that had been turned over by him at the door of the wooden house, and then gently raised his hand to gather his clothes, hung the Night Phantom Sword meticulously on his waist, and then turned around and walked out of the Xuanpu Garden without looking back.

Soon, Xia Sheng came to the only exit from the back mountain to the main peak, and then a bright smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

The warm light of the morning sun sprinkled on the mountain pass, pulling out a long oblique shadow, which seemed a little lonely.

It turned out that Tang Zi'an was already waiting there.

I saw Xia Sheng coming out of the back mountain. Tang Zi'an couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief in his heart, and a smile as warm as the morning sun appeared in his eyes.

"It seems that Xia Jiaoxi's retreat has gained a lot!"

Xia Sheng walked slowly to Tang Zi'an and stood still, and said with a smile: "Dean Tang is waiting here." ”

Compared with a month ago, Xia Sheng looks thinner, and the edges and corners of his face are more distinct, and more importantly. On his body, there is an incomparably fierce momentum.

That's a sword momentum.

Tang Zi'an as the Venerable of the Sword. At a glance, he could recognize the hidden Haoran sword intent on Xia Sheng's body, and couldn't help but ask with concern: "It seems that Xia Jiaoxi has completely comprehended the Haoran sword?"

Xia Sheng shook his head modestly: "If you want to say it completely, you don't dare to take it, at most, it's a little successful." ”

Such an answer is for Tang Zi'an. It was enough, and he immediately smiled and said: "In this way, presumably in the next spring season, my academy's victory will add three points!"

Hearing Tang Zi'an mention of Chunqiu, Xia Sheng couldn't help but be curious: "Has the list of students representing the academy been drawn up?"

Tang Zi'an nodded: "A rough range has been delineated. As the leader of the summer training this time, the final list still needs to be confirmed by you. However, I also have good news for Xia Jiaoxi......"

"Oh?" Xia Sheng raised his eyebrows lightly and asked, "What's the good news?"

Tang Zi'an smiled slightly: "The reason why the big array of the nursing home suddenly opened a month ago has been found!"

Hearing this, Xia Sheng's heart suddenly sank, but his face was not half of the waves, and he immediately asked, "What is the reason?"

Tang Zi'an's face flashed with joy, and he said: "After investigation, the source of energy that triggered the Great Array of Nursing Homes that day came from the vicinity of Houshan Mingquan, and at the same time, the student who appeared there was none other than Pei Yuanji!"

Xia Sheng was stunned for a moment, and only came back to his senses after a while, and muttered, "What Dean Tang means ......"

Tang Zi'an nodded and continued: "Later, Yuan Ji also admitted that the riot that day was indeed caused by him, all because he accidentally got a big opportunity in the mountains behind the academy, and if he cultivates further, I am afraid that he will be promoted to the Martial Emperor Realm in these two days!"

Xia Sheng smiled lightly: "What kind of chance can cause the large array of nursing homes to open spontaneously and make such a big formation?"

"Regarding this, Yuan Ji didn't reveal it, only said that it was related to the Sage Relic, but I am more inclined to think that he inadvertently triggered the ban on a certain heavy treasure given to him by the Sword Saint. ”

"Something interesting......" Hearing this, the smile on Xia Sheng's face became a little bigger, but since Tang Zi'an mentioned Pei Yuanji, it reminded him of another thing.

"By the way, where is Zhong Weiwei, who was imprisoned by me in the Twilight Cloud Cave before?"

When the words fell, Tang Zi'an's face suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice: "After being banned in the back mountain for a few days, Yuan Ji personally went to the Dusk Cloud Cave and took her back to Lingxiao Peak. ”

The "healing" that Tang Zi'an is talking about here does not mean that Zhong Weiwei has grown another arm, but that the mental trauma she suffered in the Twilight Cloud Cave has been restored.

Hearing this, Xia Sheng couldn't help but smile and said, "In this way, even if I don't go to Ling Xiaofeng, she will come to the door, right?"

Tang Zi'an's eyes were stunned, and he said: "Xia Jiaoxi, this matter is over here." Next, your most important task is to select the fighters of the Spring Plateau and teach them carefully, in order to strive for better results on top of the Spring Pavilion, and the rest of the matter will not be taken care of. ”

Xia Sheng knew very well that things would definitely not go as smoothly as Tang Zi'an expected, he could not go to the offense, but if someone offended him, he would be compensated a hundred times!

But Xia Sheng didn't show this emotion, just smiled indifferently: "This is natural." ”

After saying that, Xia Sheng took a deep breath, raised his eyes to look at the world outside the mountain, held on the hilt of the Night Shadow Sword with one hand, and asked Tang Zi'an with a smile, "So, where should I start?"
