"Jie'er, you can stay here with peace of mind, the uncle of Mingyue Palace will take care of you, and my mother will rush back to the Ming family at night to preside over the overall situation. ”

In the evening, Chen An stood at the gate of the three-zhang high vermilion lacquer, looking at the back of the Jade Mengying leaving, feeling that something in the body was also leaving, I can't say whether it was relaxed or lost, in short, Chen An felt as if he understood something, and all kinds of inexplicable scenes in his mind constituted wonderful fragments that flashed one by one, and finally outlined a complete picture.

A drop of crystal tears glowed with colorful luster in the setting sun, slowly falling, falling into the cracks of the bluestone road and no longer visible.

"Don't be ashamed, and cry your nose. ”

Chen An turned around slowly, and behind him was Xu Qingrui, who looked disdainful.

A smile bloomed on his face, containing a hint of playfulness.

Xu Qingrui didn't care at first, and then found that Chen An's eyes were staring at him without blinking, and immediately exploded: "You, what are you looking at?"

Chen An didn't speak, still looking at her with a smile, but his eyes moved to her ears.

"Badass. Xu Qingrui's little face turned red to the root of her ears, turned around and ran away.

Chen An shook his head and smiled, suddenly felt much better, looked up at the black buildings in the east, and walked away.

Xu Qingrui's heart was like a deer, and she didn't know where she had gone in a trance. Suddenly, I heard someone shouting behind me, turned around to look, and saw Li Caiyi walking over with a cold face, and scolded when I met: "What are you running around during this evening class, and you are lazy." ”

Xu Qingrui was angry for a while, secretly wondering why she was touched by her every time, and said stiffly: "What's the matter, didn't you also have no evening class." ”

The corners of Li Caiyi's mouth curled, he snorted, and turned slightly sideways so that this hard-mouthed guy could see the seven or eight women behind him, and then raised the sword in his hand and said, "It's my turn to patrol the palace today." ”

Xu Qingrui looked at her radiant appearance and was envious: "What's the spirit, when I patrol the palace, I will arrest you." ”

"Ha," Li Caiyi said with a smile: "When you patrol the palace, I will wait until the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse, and you will dare to say such big words when you have practiced the Chengguang Dancing to the first grade." ”

"I ...... I ......" Xu Qingrui was choked by her and couldn't speak, Bei Yan bit her lower lip and scolded secretly in her heart: Bad things, which pot is not opened, which pot is not mentioned, expose my shortcomings.

Li Caiyi turned around and shouted backwards: "Senior Sister Guan, you go on first, I'll take this little guy back and go to you again." ”

The woman in the blue palace dress who was the leader nodded with a smile, and walked away with Shi Shiran, the person behind her.

"Let's go, you're really good at hiding, you're hiding in this miscellaneous division. Li Caiyi turned around and said in an unkind tone.

Xu Qingrui pouted, and followed behind her without speaking.

"Yo, you're still angry when you say two words. ”

Xu Qingrui protested: "Who, who is angry, I'm just, I'm just ......"

"It's just what, am I not right, Senior Sister Zhuo is practicing the same Chengguang Dance as you, and now she has practiced to the realm of the seventh grade, what about you, the third grade is not yet." ”

"I, I can practice to the seventh rank at the age of the senior sister, I am now, I am still young. Her face became hot, and she whispered more and more, and gradually she couldn't speak anymore.

Li Caiyi sneered: "Okay, I'll wait to see you hit the ground running in three years, oops, I seem to remember that Senior Sister Zhuo seems to have reached the realm of the fifth grade at your age." ”

"When I reached the fifth level, I was one year older than Xiao Rui'er. A soft voice came from the stinger.

"Senior sister......" Xu Qingrui pounced as if she had found a savior.

Li Caiyi smiled and said, "What a coincidence, Senior Sister Zhuo, we were talking about you, and you appeared, by the way, why did you come here?" She looked around and found that the surroundings were all where the miscellaneous guards lived.

There are thousands of people living in the Bright Moon Palace, but there are less than a hundred real disciples, and the rest are guards and miscellaneous servants. This is also a matter of no choice, Mingyue Palace can't help but get married, and the disciples will naturally marry and leave when they are old, so there are very few disciples of the older generation, and Ying Lanqi's uncle and uncle are even more none. Let's say that in Ying Lanqi's generation, Zhuang Lan has never married in her life, and Qi Yan has been in love and returned to the palace to live in widowhood again. And Ying Lanqi herself is the palace master, according to the rules, she can only wait for someone to enter the palace, otherwise she must give up the position of palace master. The others are Zhuo Shan's generation, but this generation is only fifty or sixty including Chen An.

If it were just this, it would be too lonely for people to live in such a large palace. Therefore, when the palace was built, Princess Dongping brought thousands of her maidservants as palace people. And every year Mingyue Palace will buy some maidservants to fill the court. And select the qualified ones as disciples, these disciples have no family, with Mingyue Palace as their maiden family, and because of the background of Mingyue Palace, most of the in-laws who marry are Jiangdong Wang clan, so that Mingyue Palace has established a huge network of relationships in just a few decades. As for those with poor qualifications, they casually taught some physical fitness skills or distributed to various industries, or took care of the family and nursing homes, or served as labor.

Tszanne smiled and explained, "I went to the Craftsman Bureau to make some invitations and passed by here. ”

"Invitation?" Li Caiyi wondered.

"The palace master has decided to publish a heroic post, inviting the world's heroes to discuss martial arts in Dongtai. ”

Zhuo Shan looked at Li Caiyi's surprised appearance and explained: "The news of the Ming family is spreading, and the Mingyue Palace will become the target of public criticism sooner or later, so it is better to simply invite the world's heroes to fight together, everyone will be on the bright side, the competition will win or lose, the winner will participate, and the loser will give up." I, Mingyue Palace, initiated this matter, and the natural leaders are crowded, and their prestige has soared, so why not do such a thing that is the best of both worlds. ”

Xu Qingrui hugged her senior sister's arm and said strangely: "Didn't you say that the treasure is a martial arts secret book, then everyone can just copy a copy, why do you still have to compete in martial arts." ”

Li Caiyi was thinking about the pros and cons, and when she heard this, she was angry, and said loudly: "You are stupid, everyone knows it, is it still called a cheat? What is the most important thing in martial arts? The so-called Fa should not be passed on lightly, and the master must pass it on to his own disciples repeatedly, let alone outsiders. Therefore, each sect attaches great importance to its own inheritance secrets, and no one is allowed to covet it. ”

Zhuo Shan also popularized common sense to her junior sister: "That's the case, even if the last few winners find treasures, they will not copy each other, but will be evenly distributed and kept secret, becoming their own unique secret book." ”

"It's so boring to fight," Xu Qingrui muttered quietly.

Zhuo Shan smiled bitterly, how can the affairs of the rivers and lakes be so simple. But I heard Li Caiyi hesitantly call "senior sister".

Zhuo Shan glanced at her in surprise, in her memory, Li Caiyi had never been in such a situation, she was always very arrogant, and couldn't help but be curious: "Senior Sister Li, what do you want to say, just say it." ”

"It's nothing, I, I actually just want to ask who he is that Master said in the morning?" Li Caiyi's face turned red, she had never gossiped so much, but seeing that the palace master and the master were secretive, she really couldn't suppress her curiosity.

"He?

"That's it, it's the one in Haizhou. ”

Xu Qingrui was also curious by her appearance, and looked at Zhuo Shan intently, but saw that Zhuo Shan's face suddenly sank. So he was even more curious, and whispered, "Senior sister." ”

Zhuo Shan came back to her senses, her face was still not good-looking, and she sighed and said, "That person, that person is a demon." As soon as she heard her senior sister say this, Xu Qingrui knew that there was a story to hear, and she immediately became attentive. Li Caiyi is also more curious, there are many demons in the martial arts, but there is no one who may make the master and the palace master talk about it.

Zhuo Shan paused and continued, "You also know that I went a while ago to deal with a dispute over an property outside the palace, which is near Gangnam Province. The scene of Gangnam Province can be glimpsed, it is simply the hell of Shura. There was a look of fear on her face when she said this, and it was obvious that it had a great impact on her at that time. "Anyway, I don't want to see that scene again in my life, it is said that this tragic situation is caused by one person. ”

Li Caiyi had also heard of the appearance of the drought in Haizhou, but he never thought that there would really be a person in the drought fish, and exclaimed: "How is it possible, there are tens of thousands of people." ”

Xu Qingrui didn't have so many ideas, she was completely immersed in the biographical story, and kept asking: "Who is who?"

"One of the Dark Nether Bloodies. ”

"Ten Thousand Poisonous Ghost King?" Li Caiyi blurted out.

Xu Qingrui was unhappy, how do you all know it, she asked in a muffled voice, "Who is this Ten Thousand Poisonous Ghost King?"

Li Caiyi was shocked in his heart that the present world of the drought was man-made, and he had no interest in arguing with her, and said casually when he heard the words: "It's a secret agent of the dark division, good at poisoning, every time he makes a move, he will cause boundless killing, and even the grandmaster died in his hands." ”

"Wow, he's more powerful than the grandmaster, so isn't he invincible in the world. Xu Qingrui didn't have a personal experience, so naturally she didn't feel the slightest feeling, she just listened to it as a story.

Although Li Caiyi didn't feel much, he was mature in the end and understood the seriousness of the matter, so he hesitated: "Then he won't ...... Dongtai this time."

"No, it won't. Zhuo Shan interrupted her and said, "Didn't you listen to Master's analysis? ”

"What if he does come?"

Zhuo Shan's face turned blue: "That is the disaster of my Mingyue Palace." ”

They were talking hotly, but the person concerned, Chen An, was holding a book in the Scripture Pavilion of Mingyue Palace, reading it with relish. This scripture pavilion has a very elegant name called "Flowing Year Jade Mansion", the layout is also good, the bookshelves made of white jade, scattered in the hall, rockery strange stones, rare flowers dotted in the meantime, so that the whole space seems to come alive, a vibrant appearance, completely different from the gloomy depression of the secret house of the Holy Courtyard Martial Mansion.

The collection of books here is the Wujing Pavilion inherited from the former Wei Dynasty, during which there are indeed many precious and unique books that have been lost for a long time, and when placed in the martial arts, they can cause a bloody battle.

It's just that Chen An didn't have much interest in these things, he was reading a biography of a martial arts predecessor. Many things like biographies are made up by later generations, but the content is wonderful and fascinating, which is very suitable for some young boys and girls to pass the time. Of course, he is not a child with a temper, nor is he idle and looking for something to do, but he wants to see the ideas of his predecessors.

The idea is a mysterious thing, just like true qi, which cannot be seen or touched, but it can really hurt people invisibly. People who practice martial arts practice according to the cheats, they really don't need to understand any concepts, they just need to follow the steps and practice diligently, thinking too much is easy to get confused and go crazy.

But Chen An is different, his poison skills are profound, his martial arts are mixed, and after Nangong Yao's allocation, he gradually integrates medicine and poison and martial arts, and is destined to take a path that no one has walked before, so it is not too early to think about his own martial arts concept at this time.

These biographies are the lifetime experiences of martial arts predecessors, these experiences determine their knowledge, and these insights determine their martial arts cognition, and this cognition is their martial arts concept.

Biographies can be fabricated, but there are always real examples in them, and Chen An can still distinguish them. He is like a sponge, absorbing all the knowledge and integrating it with himself.
