Chapter 4 Happy Childhood

() "All things in heaven and earth, the five elements are the essence, even as the spirit of all things, people are composed of the five basic elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. It's just that the five elements in everyone's body are not the same, there are always as many as one and one as little, and they are almost imperceptible. And martial arts, in addition to the ever-changing moves, also rely on the five elements of true qi that has been cultivated over time in the body to urge. As an important part of the Five Elements Sword Sect, our Golden Sword Sect mainly cultivates metal true qi...... Hey, I said, boy, have you listened carefully to what the teacher has to say......?"

On the quiet hillside, in the open space in front of the small hut, on either side of a stone table, sat an old man and a young man, the old man holding a bamboo stick in his hand, talking something to the child.

Unfortunately, the child did not seem to listen carefully, but focused most of his attention on a big yellow dog lying on his lap, tickling it and touching its tail. The two of them, the old and the young, are Xue Feng and Lin Yu.

Since Xiao Lin Yu was four years old, every day, in addition to being pulled out of the warm bed by the master in the morning to practice the Tuna, Zama, and Qixingbu, which he hated deeply, he also had to fill two large jars of water before breakfast, and then go to the forest behind the hut to collect dew to wash his eyes.

After breakfast, you have to accept the master's nagging history teaching and the so-called martial arts basic learning for two hours, and then you have to play a trip to the boxing method that the master said is used to strengthen the body, and then prepare lunch, chop wood, and then go to the back mountain to hunt and prepare snacks for the master. The cold and the summer have come and gone, and the past three years have never changed......

"Master, the apprentice listens carefully, but what you said, the apprentice's ears are about to grow calluses. Our division is called Jinjianmen, and he is one of the best Taishan Beidou in the world, and he is also the leader of the Five Elements Sword Sect. Since 800 years ago, our sect has produced the ancestor Jin Ye Zhenren, and there are many talents. Not only are the martial arts of the heads of the past dynasties superb, but the disciples in the door are also famous in the rivers and lakes, and the sword condensation technique of our sect is even more powerful. All those who cultivate metal true qi in the world regard the condensing sword technique as a grand ceremony of metal true qi. ”......

"And our sect uses the sword condensation technique as the basic method of true qi, and the twenty-four sword condensing style swordsmanship derived from it is even more invincible. In addition, the third-generation head Jin Dou Zhenren and the seventh-generation real person Muquan Zhenren are even more geniuses, creating famous martial arts such as dragon and phoenix, swinging sword and returning to the wind. The most powerful one belongs to my master, who is known as the "Old Man of the Sword" in the rivers and lakes, and no one is invincible when the seven swords come out. Is that right, the apprentice remembered wrong?" said Lin Yu impatiently while teasing the rhubarb.

"Well, it seems that the teacher's tireless teaching in the past three years has not been in vain. Hearing Lin Yu say how powerful his life-chasing seven styles were, Xue Feng was even more happy and even curled the two beards on his lips.

"But master, when will the apprentice be able to learn swordsmanship from your old man? It's boring to take Tuna, Zama, and walk the Seven Stars every day. Lin Yu rolled his eyes when he saw the master's self-absorbed look.

"Well, you have never been lazy in the past three years, and the foundation has been laid a little bit. In this way, you stretch out your hand and let the teacher first determine your true qi attributes. After hearing this, Lin Yu immediately honestly put his little hand on the master's big hand.

Xue Feng released a trace of his true qi into Lin Yu's body. A moment later, a hint of surprise crept up on his brow. However, the old and spicy Xue Feng did not come out.

"Five elements full of attributes, God, it's really pitiful, bless my Golden Sword Sect from decaying, I can't imagine that outside the patriarch of the self-opening sect and the head of the seventh generation, the old man actually encountered an innate full attribute......!"

Xue Feng secretly made up his mind in shock, and when this kid learned his own skills, he would let him recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors.

After all, Xue Feng gradually understood that in fact, the master was still good to him. If it weren't for that, he would have gone out of the mountain gate back then and sent a few elders to clean up the portal, and he would not have taught this kid martial arts here today.

In fact, in the Golden Sword Gate, disciples are recruited from the outside world every year, and as long as the children who are four years old or older from an innocent background can enter the outer gate for three years of basic teaching.

Three years later, when the child reaches the age of seven, the elder or outstanding disciple of the inner gate will organize the child to take an attribute test.

The method is also very simple, release a trace of your true qi into the child's body, and you will feel that the attributes in the child's body are compatible with or rejected by the true qi. According to the way of the five elements, it can be determined which attribute is the strongest in the child's body, and if it is metallic, he will be left to learn the martial arts of the Golden Sword Sect and become a disciple.

And if it is other attributes, they will be recommended to the Water Sword Sect and the Earth Sword Sect that are suitable for their physique.

Of course, if the reaction of the five attributes is not strong, then they will be asked to choose whether to go home or do some mundane things as an outer disciple. The Five Elements Sword Sect has been in this way since ancient times, and it is precisely because of this that a huge talent reserve has been retained for each faction and has been strong and prosperous.

Lin Yu has been strong and smart since he was a child. Xue Feng saw that although he was only seven years old, his body and mind were not much better than those ten-year-old children, so he simply gave it a try today. After trying it, I found that I had actually picked up the treasure.

What does it mean that the five elements are full of attributes? It means that he can learn not only the metal exercises, but also the other four exercises. When the time comes, it will be easy to gather the strengths of each family and become a generation of grandmasters.

"Lin Yu, according to the luck method taught by the master, use the mud pill as a guide, try to contact the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, let the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi drive the true Qi in your body, and then concentrate it in your hands. Xue Feng really wanted to see if Lin Yu would directly release his true qi on the basis of the full attributes of the five elements......

At noon, no matter how hard Xiao Lin Yu tried over and over again, except for sweat on his hands, not even a trace of true qi came out. Not only that, Xue Feng had no choice but to retreat and make an exception for Lin Yu to use his blue light sword to perform the luck method.

Generally, even if the true qi cannot be released, as long as the true qi in the body is operating normally, the sword will have even a slight reflection.

It's a pity that it backfired, Lin Yu held the sword that was taller than him, although his hands didn't tremble, but like an ordinary person with a little more strength, there was no change at all.

"Doom...... Why is this wrong? Luck is wrong? That's right. This time it was difficult for Xue Feng.

"Master, master, can the apprentice learn the sword?" Looking at Xue Feng, who was silent, Lin Yu was a little anxious.

"Well, learn, of course you can learn, but forget it today, you first go to the village under the mountain to fill the master with a gourd of wine, and then go to the back mountain to chop some firewood, and then go to the river to hang a grass carp, wait for the teacher to eat and drink enough, tomorrow I will teach you the world-famous Golden Sword Gate swordsmanship. Xue Feng sent Lin Yu out with a puzzled face.

After all, Lin Yu is a child's heart, and as soon as he heard that there was something to do, he took Rhubarb and took the master's wine gourd, and ran out in three steps and two steps. Looking at Lin Yu's fast and steady pace, Xue Feng's doubts became even greater......

"The five elements are full of attributes, why is there no reflection at all? And seeing that this kid's body is not as strong as ordinary people at a young age, he unconsciously uses the seven star steps I taught him on it. There's no reason why you can't use True Qi, not even a trace of it......?"

Lin Yu strode through the village, and Rhubarb followed behind with a wine gourd tied around his neck.

"Rhubarb, if you catch up with me, I'll give you a piece of meat to eat at night. ”

"Want Want ......"

The sound of a man and a dog breaking the silence of the village was broken by the cheerful laughter, and people would stop to look at them when they heard the sound, and kindly get out of the way for them to run by. Lin Yu often goes down the mountain with his master, and as Xue Feng's apprentice, he is well-behaved and clever, so he is very popular with everyone.

Soon, they ran to the door of the only tavern in the village.

"Fourth Uncle Chen, my master wants wine. ”

"Brother Lin is here, this is the hemp candy that the shopkeeper gave me the day before yesterday, come, give you a piece, try it quickly." While giving Lin Yu candy to eat, Chen Si took off the wine gourd around Rhubarb's neck and scooped the wine from the wine vat.

"Well, your wine, four pennies. As soon as Chen Si closed the lid of the wine gourd, he felt a gust of wind blowing, and the wine gourd in his hand was gone, but there was a small piece of broken silver.

"Brother Lin, it's a lot!" Chen Si, who reacted, hurriedly shouted to Lin Yu, who was already far away.

"The master said, this is the last time, the last time, and the last time...... I owe you money for wine. Also, Fourth Uncle Chen, the sugar is very sweet, haha. ”

"This kid is as fast as a gust of wind. is worthy of being a disciple of Old Man Xue, tsk, so fast at such a young age. Chen Si picked up the broken silver in his hand, turned around and went back to the house to continue wiping the tables that he didn't know how many years he had used.

When Lin Yu ran through the village path, his little mouth kept greeting passers-by.

"Mother Wang, Aunt Liu, Uncle Zhao, Little Six ......"

Everyone will smile at him, I don't know if it is Old Man Xue's lofty status in people's hearts, or Xiao Lin Yu's sweet mouth, just like the hemp candy that Chen Si gave him......

It was getting late, Lin Yu carried a bundle of firewood on his back, two grass carp in his hand, and a big yellow yellow with a wine gourd tied to his neck. Although the master's craftsmanship is not flattering, fortunately, Lin Yu's small mouth is not a picky eater.

After the meal, the master entered the room without saying a word and frowning. And Lin Yu sat in the courtyard and watched the starry sky with Rhubarb.

"Rhubarb, you say, why do those stars blink?"

"Wang......

"Rhubarb, you say, will the master teach me swordsmanship tomorrow?"

"Want Want ......"

"Rhubarb, the master said, I picked it up from him in the mountain, so is my mother this mountain?"

"Want Want Want ......"

"Rhubarb, you're looking for a beating......"

"Want Want ...... Woo......"

Lin Yu chased after Rhubarb, and laughter filled the yard in front of the small hut.

Lin Yu is like this, practicing every day, working, playing with rhubarb, catching fish for the master, and catching hares and pheasants in the back mountains. A simple and happy childhood went on day by day......

"Tomorrow I can learn swordsmanship from my master, and I will become a hero, what do you say, rhubarb?"

"Want Want Want ......"

"Rhubarb!" ......
