Chapter 1: Four Months
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has entered December. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the howling winter wind, a horse-drawn carriage rushed from afar, and it was not until it entered the boundary of Baishui County that it began to slow down, and finally stopped at the edge of the field to the west.
The groom, wearing a big fur hat and a thick cotton coat, jumped down from the car, lifted the thick curtain, bowed his head and said, "Young master, it's time to get there." ”
Xiao Yuan probed from the carriage, stepped out again, stood on the sturdy ground, shook the two layers of silk clothes on his body, and ordered, "You go to the house." ”
The groom answered, sat back on the carriage, swung his long whip and turned around, and headed for Whitewater Street—he was going to his young master's house to prepare miscellaneous items, and for the next five days, he and the young master would live there.
Xiao Yuan didn't look at the movement of the carriage, he turned around and went directly in the direction of Qingniu Mountain. It was only when I walked to the junction of the mountains and forests and the fields that I found that there was another figure in the field.
"Young Master Xiao?"
The man also found Xiao Yuan at this time, he who was originally squatting on the ground stood up, shook the heavy cotton clothes on his body, bowed down and said, "You are going to meet Lin Ye?"
Although Xiao Yuan looked indifferent, he also stopped and nodded, and said calmly: "Loach, why are you here?"
Winter had already begun, and the work in the fields had come to an end, and the wheat seeds had been buried in the soil half a month ago, so it was reasonable to say that there should be no farm work.
The loach smiled and said, "I'm afraid that rats and snakes will come to the field to pick up the seeds, so I'll come to the field to see, and I can't ruin a careless life." Young Master Xiao, go up the mountain, Mozi mentioned it to me a few days ago, saying that you should come these days, waiting to learn from you. ”
Xiao Yuan's expression moved, nodded and said no more, and turned his head into the mountains and forests.
At this time, he no longer needed to be picked up by Wei Li when he went up and down the mountain, not only because he was completely familiar with the mountain road, but also because he was no longer the person of yesterday.
It has been four months since he entered the Tongtian Sect, and during this time, he would come to Baishui County at the beginning of each month to stay for five days, and go to the Tongtian Sect to accept the master's teachings and practice martial arts seriously.
So at this moment, he is already a dignified second-grade martial artist, not to mention ordinary beasts, even fierce beasts such as tigers and leopards are not afraid at all.
More than half an hour later, he came out of the mountain forest and came to the gate of Tongtian Sect.
"It's fast again. ”
He looked up and looked at the vermilion gate inlaid on the mountain gate, with an inexplicable expression.
To be honest, in his original plan, Tongtian Sect and those people in the sect were actually just regarded as a link of interest. He knew his father's thoughts very well, and at the same time, he could guess the meaning of some of the first people in Heyang Mansion, so from beginning to end, he didn't take the so-called master-apprentice relationship too seriously.
However, now it is different, because of the changes brought about by the successful apprenticeship, not to mention how those fox friends in Heyang City are envious and jealous, and even the yin and yang weird secretly talking, not to mention the improvement of their own status in the family, how much their father values, just talking about the changes in their own bodies, it is enough to trigger some changes in thinking.
At least, it was impossible for him to walk in the cold wind in a thin silk robe before, or to climb a mountain peak effortlessly in half an hour, and it was impossible for him to feel the surging power in his body, as if he could do anything as long as he wanted to.
"What's the matter? Hurry up and get in. ”
The cold wind blew, Xiao Yuan woke up from his stunned, left his complicated thoughts behind, and stepped forward to knock on the door.
Soon, the door was opened from the inside, and the giant body of the Yellow Turban Lux appeared, looked up and down, and then turned sideways to make way for a passage.
Xiao Yuan, who already knew that the Yellow Turban Lux was a humanoid puppet treasure, was actually not a real person at all, and he didn't say much, he stepped directly into the valley, and then went straight to the martial arts arena.
Sure enough, whether it was the senior brother Wei Li or the second senior brother Xu Mo, they were both practicing boxing on the martial arts arena at this time.
"Senior Brother Xiao is here. ”
Far away, Wei Li noticed the movement, put away his posture and greeted him with a smile. And Xu Mo was reminded by him and also walked behind.
"I've seen Big Brother. Xiao Yuan's expression was straight, he clenched his fists and bowed his head to Wei Li, then let go and looked up at Xu Mo, nodded and said, "Second senior brother." ”
Wei Li's eyes narrowed, and Xu Mo's face was calm.
"When I came, I saw the loaches. Xiao Yuan continued: "Listen to him, the second senior brother wants to learn from me again." ”
Wei Li blinked, turned his head to look at Xu Mo beside him, and saw the second junior brother nodding without hesitation.
"It just so happens that I have gained a little bit from my cultivation recently, and I want to ask the second senior brother for advice. Xiao Yuan immediately said: "Senior brother, please make a judgment." ”
Wei Li glanced at the two of them, smiled, and nodded, "Okay." ”
So it only took five minutes to enter the valley, and in the martial arts arena, the second and third disciples of Tongtian Sect fought.
The fight between the two was actually not intense, because the strength of the two sides was equal, they were both second-grade martial artists, and they practiced the same set of martial arts methods, both of which were basic classics, so although they both looked serious and tried their best, in a short period of time, it was impossible to win or lose.
Of course, it is not completely devoid of superiority and inferiority, at least in the eyes of Wei Li, who is the judge, there are still some differences: Xiao Yuan has the advantage.
The reason is very simple, the foundations of the two sides are different, or to use that metaphor, Xiao Yuan is like a sports car with rusty pipes blocking parts, although the speed of the mobile three-wheeled car in good condition is the same as Xu Mo's in good condition, but the essence of the two sides determines that after spending the same effort for maintenance, the speed of the sports car is definitely faster than the motorized three-wheeler.
Xiao Yuan is like this, although they are all second-grade martial artists, the power that he, a second-grade martial artist, can exert is stronger than Xu Mo! Maybe not much, only a trace, but this is also strong!
So as time passed, about ten minutes later, the confrontation between the two slowly showed a slight movement.
Xiao Yuan noticed this movement, and his spirit was immediately shocked, his face turned red, and the strength of his whole body was mobilized, as if he was a powerful tiger descending from the mountain, pressing towards Xu Mo with all his strength.
This made Wei Li's expression tighten, his eyes flickered, and his feet moved forward slightly.
But in the end, he still didn't really take this step, because he saw Xu Mo's expression: it was a rock of tenacity—a rock that would not be shaken by a beast or a flood.
So despite frowning slightly, Wei Li still stood aside, motionless.
So after half an hour, the two sides of the debate spontaneously stopped—they were exhausted.
Looking at the two sweaty and steaming on the top of their heads, their limbs trembling faintly, but they all stood strongly, Wei Li finally didn't have a solemn expression, just cried and laughed: "This battle is a draw, do you agree?"
Xu Mo nodded silently, Xiao Yuan took a deep breath, and did not object.
"Alright, you two don't hold on, get some rest. Wei Li shook his head and said, "Fortunately, the master has something to deal with, and he is not here at this time, otherwise most people would think that I would treat you like this." ”
Xu Mo looked a little uneasy when he heard this, Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows, and after a little hesitation, he asked, "Senior brother, what's the matter with Master?"
"Good thing. Wei Li grinned and said, "Master's cultivation has made a breakthrough!" (To be continued.) )
