Zhou Jingyang has not been to Ruihan Pavilion for more than two months since he learned to travel with the old man, and today Liang Zhong sent Zhou Jingyang to send the cloth bag up the mountain. Zhou Jingyang was curious and asked what this cloth bag was, Liang Zhong asked him to send it, he didn't need to know, Zhou Jingyang had respected Liang Zhong very much since he was a child, and when he said this, he didn't delve into it.

Carrying these more than 30 catties of cloth bags, Zhou Jingyang felt that his steps were much lighter when he went up the mountain this time. Came to Ruihan Pavilion to see the pavilion master Gui Chengxuan, this Ruihan Pavilion was created by Gui Chengxuan's father Gui Yubi, thirty years ago, there was suddenly more of this sect on this Yao Mountain, specializing in strange and lonely people in the rivers and lakes, after going up the mountain, they were not allowed to go down the mountain, and the other Zhou Jingyang did not know.

This Gui Chengxuan is not only good at making decisions and scheming, but also good at taking advantage of dangerous places and arranging troops. His talent is several times better than his father, and he took over Ruihan Pavilion at the age of twenty-five, so far it has only been more than ten years, and the people in the cabinet have praised it and respected it more than the old pavilion master.

Zhou Jingyang saw Gui Chengxuan come forward and salute and said that his father-in-law sent him a cloth bag again, Gui Chengxuan said, "Jingyang, I haven't checked the slightest sound when you enter this lonely hall today, presumably this hedgehog has made great progress in guarding the arts." Zhou Jingyang replied, "I'm afraid that I will disturb the pavilion master Qingxiu, so my steps are lighter."

Gui Chengxuan said: "When did you give me such a courtesy? I didn't see you so gentle when I slept soundly." Zhou Jingyang replied with a wicked smile: "The pavilion master praised it falsely." Gui Chengxuan said with a smile on his face: "Little ghost, am I praising you?" Put your things down and go to your master." Zhou Jingyang replied to the order, and then took a cheerful step to find Baili Yiqiu.

In the Xuanwu school field of Ruihan Pavilion, I heard that Zhou Jingyang went up the mountain, and Baili Yiqiu was waiting here early. Zhou Jingyang saw Baili Yiqiu bowing and greeting, this year of Baili Yiqiu's sixtieth year, he was the closed disciple of the South Gate of the head of the Ruyan faction, and he was also the disciple with the highest understanding.

After going up the mountain, no one on this Yao Mountain saw him smile again, so many people in Ruihan Pavilion called him puppet face. When Baili Yiqiu saw Zhou Jingyang, he seemed to notice that he was different from the past, and he asked, "Yang'er hasn't seen him for a long time, but he practices every day?" Zhou Jingyang replied, "Back to the master, I have never wasted it, and I have practiced hard every day." "Then let's practice", I saw Baili Yiqiu rising into the air, and it was already flipped down in the air with a very fast momentum, and in an instant, the index finger was about to touch Zhou Jingyang's Baihui acupoint. At this time, Zhou Jingyang's right foot swept sideways with his left foot, Baili Yiqiu's fingers tapped the ground, rose again, and transformed into a tiger's claw and went straight to Zhou Jingyang's neck, Zhou Jingyang leaned back, quickly dodged, and when he was about to touch the ground, he turned over between the lightning and the fire, and suddenly the true qi in his chest overflowed, and the dust flew, and Zhou Jingyang stood up with his strength.

Baili Yiqiu landed and stood on the ground, looking at Zhou Jingyang in great surprise. But he didn't speak, just adjusted his internal breath, and then moved sideways left and right to force Zhou Jingyang, Zhou Jingyang took half a step back when he saw this, because what Zhou Jingyang saw was countless Baili Yiqiu rushing to his face, and there was nowhere to hide, the master had never made this move before, and Zhou Jingyang didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

At this time, Baili Yiqiu had already arrived, and Zhou Jingyang saw that there was a gap of about two inches between the phantoms, and jumped around, as if fluttering silk had pierced through the gap. Baili Yiqiu didn't expect it, and let Zhou Jingyang escape, this is the recruitment and standing, and asked with an incredible face, "This, what kind of kung fu is this?" I've seen the master use the ninth layer of the Hedgehog Guarding Technique before, although it is somewhat similar to your body method, but it is not so fast and smooth? Zhou Jingyang was overjoyed and said, "Master, you say that my body is similar to that of the ancestor?" Am I already at the ninth level? ”。

Baili Yiqiu nodded and said, "Look at your footwork, even more than the ancestor, but where did you learn this, you haven't answered me." Zhou Jingyang replied embarrassedly, "It's not that the disciple doesn't want to tell him, it's just that he swore with someone before, and he can't reveal half a word."

Baili Yiqiu is the most trustworthy person who keeps his promises, and he often teaches Zhou Jingyang on weekdays that people do not stand without trust, and the husband is full of promises, and the horses are difficult to chase. Hearing Zhou Jingyang say this, although there were many puzzles in his heart, he didn't ask more.

According to Baili Yiqiu's knowledge, in addition to the master practicing this hedgehog guarding technique to the ninth layer, the entire Ruyan faction has practiced to the eighth layer, and only himself and senior brother Lu Daoran have practiced all his life, but this senior brother has not reached the peak after practicing all his life, and he has returned to the land with regret five years ago, who can guide Zhou Jingyang to practice the mastery of this school? Shicai told Zhou Jingyang what he thought, and when Zhou Jingyang heard it, he calculated in his heart that it was really the master Bo Lu Daoran who was not dead, whether it was or not, since Zhou Jingyang promised to keep it secret, he would not say much.

He saluted Baili Yiqiu and said, "Yang'er is inconvenient to say more, I hope the master understands." Baili Yiqiu nodded, looked at Zhou Jingyang quietly, suddenly remembered something, and called Zhou Jingyang to follow him to the bedroom.

Coming to this Baili Yiqiu bedroom, Zhou Jingyang has never entered the master's bedroom, and used to talk in the study, and now he found that it is furnished with a lot of women and children's utensils, but he has never seen a woman and a child, and he has never heard that the master has a marriage match.

Follow Baili Yiqiu to the bedside, only to see this Baili Yiqiu lift the mattress, fiddle with the mechanism at the head of the bed, a purple wooden box slowly rises from the bottom up, Baili Yiqiu opened the wooden box, took out the three books inside, and then called Zhou Jingyang to the table, and asked Zhou Jingyang to kneel, Zhou Jingyang had never seen the master so serious, and quickly knelt down.

Baili Yiqiu said to Zhou Jingyang about the past: "Ruyan Sect was created by my master Nanmen Lu, the master has a pure heart and few desires all his life, and has a very high attainment in martial arts.

Although the disciples have unique skills, and they must not hurt others, if they encounter a strong enemy and defend themselves, they will make this hedgehog guard and escape. This hedgehog guarding technique has been simplified by the master many times, and it is simple to practice and convenient to make, but it is not easy to practice to the upper realm, and only me and my senior brother have practiced to the eighth level realm for so many years. In the past ten years, I have taught you to practice the hedgehog guarding technique, although you are talented and intelligent, and you have strong perseverance, but after practicing to the eighth layer, you have not seen any growth, and you have not seen you for two months, you have practiced to the peak.

Before his death, the master called me and my senior brother to tell us, and after creating the hedgehog guarding technique, he created a sword technique based on the footwork, which the master called the thistle dust sword technique. This sword technique needs to be combined with the highest level of hedgehog guarding to practice, otherwise it will only have its shape and will be full of loopholes. The master said that he divided the thistle dust swordsmanship into three levels: martial arts, Zen martial arts, and heart combination, this martial arts is to practice its form method, Zen martial arts is to combine the form and perception, and the heart is to have the world in mind, the realm of no self, and the unity of heaven and man.

My master's self-created swordsmanship is only practiced to Zen martial arts, because he always thinks that the hedgehog guarding technique is not perfect, and it has not yet reached the realm of the unity of heaven and man, and it has not been practiced until it returns to heaven. The master passed on this sword book to me and my senior brother, so that we could study it wholeheartedly, and in the future, we would learn it in the future, and we would also hand over our own matching swords."

Saying this, Baili Yiqiu's eyes flashed with tears, and he turned his head and continued: "The master knows my past and character very well, and before he died, he passed on the position of head to his senior brother, and told me that if I am deeply knotted and do not want to take care of worldly affairs, I can go to Yaoshan Deacon to enjoy my life and hand me a letter to the old pavilion master Gui. Although my senior brother is a few years older than me, he is a man and has a stronger martial arts temperament than me, but the master and senior brother prefer me, so it is rumored that I want to take over the position of the head of the family, in fact, my senior brother is more suitable than me. After the master left, I didn't have any worries in this life, so I wanted to come here for the rest of my life.

Before leaving, my brother sent me and wanted to hand over the master's gut-breaking sword and thistle dust sword book to me, saying that the sword was left for me as a souvenir, and he had memorized the sword book. I shirked it in every possible way, but my senior brother said that I was stronger than him in martial arts, and I didn't want to be able to understand the thistle dust swordsmanship when the time came, burying the master's life's hard work. I couldn't shirk it, so I took the sword book, and as for the Broken Intestine Sword, I left it to my senior brother, because I don't want to deal with the world anymore, the sword is like scrap metal to me, and the senior brother can better defend me with the sword in his hand."

When Zhou Jingyang heard this, he realized that this hedgehog guarding technique still had a past, and asked: "I saw it in my father-in-law's "Sword Narrative", this gut-breaking sword is ranked seventh among the nine famous swords in the world, and it has never been out of the Xia Mountain. ”

Baili Yiqiu looked at Zhou Jingyang, sighed with emotion in his heart, closed his eyes and thought for a moment. Then let Zhou Jingyang kneel and bow, and after counting the three tours, he told Zhou Jingyang of his wishes for many years.

It turned out that he had worked hard all his life with the South Gate, and he knew that although he had worked hard to study, he could never practice Zen martial arts, and he felt guilty in his heart, and he thought that he could only bring it into the tomb in this life. Then he met Zhou Jingyang, and he had the intention to pass on the thistle dust swordsmanship to him, but for more than ten years, his hedgehog guarding technique had only been practiced to the eighth layer, so he had not been told to him. Now that Jingyang has practiced to the ninth layer this week, if it is not passed on to him, I am afraid that the master will not be able to learn in the world. That's why Zhou Jingyang kowtowed, which was officially entered the smoke faction.

Baili Yiqiu informed Zhou Jingyang that he had not yet understood the Jichen swordsmanship, and now he passed on the secret book to him, unable to instruct, hoping that he could specialize in hard practice, and in the future, he would learn it and pass it on to the disciples of the Ruyan faction.

Zhou Jingyang hurriedly shirked, he had no skills, although this hedgehog guarding technique was powerful, but he could only escape, where could he dance the sword, and his father-in-law once said that he would not let himself practice martial arts. Baili Yiqiu said: "The master said that the thistle dust sword technique is learned from the hedgehog guarding technique, and the thistle dust sword has been practiced fifty percent of the hedgehog guarding technique, so if you practice it, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." As for Liang Zhong, I will go and ask the pavilion master, he will definitely have a way." Seeing this, Zhou Jingyang couldn't shirk it, so he had to accept the sword score and bow down again.
