Qifeng Mountain to the west, 20 miles away from Hengqu Town, there is a Sanqing Temple Shangqing Palace, it is a Taoist temple, and one of the Taoist masters of cultivation is called Shenshan.

This female Taoist has some background, she was originally the granddaughter of Zhou Shizong Chai Rong. After the Chenqiao Mutiny, Zhao Kuangyin became the emperor, and after the Zhou Dynasty, the emperor - Chai Zongxun, the son of Chai Rong, was named King Zheng, hereditary for generations, and obtained the Danshu iron coupon, and was exempted from death for serious crimes. This female Taoist is the brother of Chai Zongxun, the eldest daughter of Chai Xixu, who was named King Qi, and her maiden name is Chai Xiang, and she is known as the Lord of Cheshire. When she was young, she was dissatisfied with the marriage imposed on her, and became a monk.

Now this female Taoist has been practicing here for more than 20 years, and she has accepted a lay disciple called Ding Yuehua, who was born to Ding Hui, the daughter of the Chai family and the son of Prime Minister Ding Wei, so Ding Yuehua is Chai Xiang's niece and the granddaughter of the current chief Ding Wei.

Ding Yuehua, the granddaughter of the ruler, has been pampered since she was a child, arrogant and willful, and died because of the heavy punishment of the servant, and went to the chief of Shenshan Road to avoid trouble. I have also lived in the Shangqing Palace in Sanqingguan for seven or eight years.

When An Chang brought Ye Pei here, the Divine Mountain Daoist was watching his disciple Ding Yuehua practice. I saw Ding Yuehua dancing with a soft sword with a silver light all over his body, which was impermeable.

Ye Pei never knew that the soft sword could fight so fast, so fast that he was dazzled and couldn't see the moves clearly. She admired her very much, because she won with speed, but completely lost to the girl in front of her, who was only two or three years older than herself.

Ding Yuehua saw that an outsider was coming, and the sword in his hand was waved even more violently, facing Ye Pei in a show-off attitude.

Suddenly, Ding Yuehua flew in front of Ye Pei, and with a move of "lingering", he wrapped a soft sword around Ye Pei's waist.

Ye Pei was looking at Ding Yuehua's moves with great concentration, but he never expected that she would attack him, he panicked, and he didn't have time to retreat, so he had to split his waist and tilt his head back to the ground. Although he dodged this trick, his style was very embarrassing.

The Divine Mountain Daoist hurriedly stopped his apprentice and said, "Yuehua, don't! ”

Ding Yuehua stopped the sword in his hand, took a step back, and said with a smile: "Yes, Master!" It's the first time I've met Sister Ye, I think I'm Mr. Bashan's apprentice, I must be good at martial arts, and I want to ask for a few tricks. Then he turned to Ye Pei and hugged his fist, and said, "Sister Ye, how offended." ”

Ye Peicai saw Ding Yuehua's face clearly: fair complexion, ruddy cheeks, melon seed face, willow leaf eyebrows, apricot eyes, cherry mouth, slender figure, Shu brocade soft scarf on his head, wearing a moon-white gauze cool shirt, really like a fairy of the Nine Heavens.

Although Ye Pei was taken aback by this sudden attack, he was not injured, even if he was a little angry, it was not easy to attack, and he was facing such a beauty. Ye Pei actually had a feeling of envy, not only envy her for being so beautiful, but also envy her for learning such exquisite swordsmanship. She also hugged Ding Yuehua in return.

An Chang respectfully saluted and said, "An Chang pays a visit to the Divine Mountain Daoist, don't come unharmed!" ”

The chief of the mountain said to An Chang: "How is your husband?" ”

An Chang said: "My husband is fine." This time, I was asked to bring my disciple Ye Pei to Sanqingguan to stay, and I would like to ask the Shenshan Daoist to take more care! This is a letter from my husband to you. ”

The head of the Shenshan Dao had a flat face, stretched out his hand to take it, and did not look closely, but said lightly: "It's okay." Turning his head, he instructed his apprentice Ding Yuehua and said, "Yuehua, you take Ye Pei to the guest room to settle down, and your daily life will be managed and assisted by you for the time being." ”

Ding Yuehua promised, "Yes, Master." Then he turned to Ye Pei and said, "Come with me!" ”

Ding Yuehua settled Ye Pei and informed Sanqingguan of the rules and taboos, the layout of the house, the time for three meals, etc., although he was slightly impatient, but he also gave him instructions, and Ye Pei settled down.

An Chang came to Ye Pei's room, put down his luggage, and said to Ye Pei: "Since you have settled down, I will go back to resume my life." Master instructed you to leave some scattered silver taels, and if you have any problems, you can ask your aunt Zhong He, who is here to buy something, to send us a letter. ”

Ye Pei agreed, very reluctant. After all, I haven't left Master Bashan's courtyard for five or six years. But no matter how reluctant they are, they still have to separate, just like that, Ye Pei sent An Chang out of the mountain gate of Sanqingguan, and looked at him as he walked away before slowly pacing back.

Ye Pei lived here for two months, and at the beginning she envied Ding Yuehua's martial arts and wanted to learn some moves from the Divine Mountain Daoist. She was embarrassed to tell the Shenshan Daoist directly, so she had to find an opportunity to ask Ding Yuehua.

Just after breakfast that day, Ye Pei asked Ding Yuehua: "Sister Ding, can I go to see you practice?" ”

Ding Yuehua whispered: "You want to rest more when you first come to Kwai Shui, you know?" If you are bored, shall I bring you a few books of the scriptures to study and meditate? ”

Ye Pei had no choice but to nod his head in thanks.

Another day, Ye Pei saw that Ding Yuehua was about to go out, so he followed and said carefully: "Sister Ding! ……”

Without waiting for Ye Pei to finish speaking, Ding Yuehua hurriedly said: "Master sent me to sort out the alchemy scriptures, this is a delicate matter of the Taoist temple, I won't take you with me, you obediently rest in the room!" Then he hurried out the door.

Ye Pei was left alone, bored and lost.

Another day, Ye Pei slipped to the courtyard of the Divine Mountain Daoist, and heard the sound of dancing swords inside, Ye Pei pushed the door in, she thought that it would be difficult for them to push themselves out again, right?

When Ding Yuehua saw Ye Pei coming in, she stopped the sword in her hand and said with a smile: "Sister Ye, I'm smiling." ”

The head of the Shenshan Dao didn't mind Ye Pei coming in, and said, "Ye Pei, you've been here for some time, and you're still comfortable, right?" ”

Ye Pei said respectfully: "Thank you for your hospitality, I live very comfortably." I just envy Sister Ding's martial arts and want to come to observe it. If you don't mind ......"

Without waiting for Ye Pei to finish speaking, Ding Yuehua answered: "Sister Ye is ashamed of me, Mr. Bashan's martial arts are world-famous, where does my sister need to delay time here?" Can I finish reading the "Nanhua Sutra" I gave you last time? I'm going to get a copy of the "Western Ascension Sutra" to show my sister? ”

Ding Yuehua said to the Divine Mountain Daoist: "Master, the disciple went to get a scripture for Sister Ye Pei to read, just take a break, I have worked hard today, Master!" ”

Ye Pei couldn't imagine that she was really pushed out by Ding Yuehua, and she was so impressed that she had nothing to say.

Day after day, Ye Pei practiced by himself every day, or sincerely immersed himself in reading the scriptures, which was not a waste of time.

Her favorite thing is still to sit on the roof of the house every night and watch the stars, Ye Pei thought that she and her senior brother and master were all illuminated by the same starry sky, and it was not lonely. Is Senior Brother also looking at the starry sky at the moment? It is only more than forty miles away from the small courtyard where Bashan and Lou Zijin live, maybe she can go back in one day, Ye Pei often thought silently.

On this day, Ye Pei sneaked to the courtyard where Shenshan Dao lived for a long time, and listened to the sound inside, it was the time for Ding Yuehua to practice. Ye Pei thought stubbornly: "If you don't let me see it, what if I want to see it?" ”

Thinking about it, she gently jumped on the courtyard wall and lay on the ridge to dodge, wanting to peek at Ding Yuehua practicing swords.

Ye Pei listened carefully to the sound inside, and slowly poked out half of his head, just as a big locust tree in the courtyard was blocked by three people.

At this time, the Divine Mountain Daoist and Ding Yuehua were both standing in the middle of the courtyard, Ding Yuehua holding a sword in his hand, listening carefully to the master's teachings.

"The biggest difference between the Nine Heavens Xuannu Sword and the Mianrou Sword is in the flying spin and lingering, one is good at attacking, and the other is defending. The soft sword wanted to wrap the soft sword around the other party, so that he felt like he was entangled in silk and couldn't break free. You can also entangle yourself so that the other party can't attack. The Nine Heavens Xuannu Sword has to go up and down two times, leap from top to bottom, jump high, jump fast, and can't give the enemy time to breathe. You can't make a difference between the two swordsmanship at present, so you still have to experience more. When encountering a strong enemy, you can't attack hard, use speed to force him back, so that his martial arts can't play a role......"

Ye Pei listened with relish.

Suddenly, Ding Yuehua leaped with his sword, and a "triple jump" exceeded the height of the top of the tree, approaching Ye Pei. Ye Pei vigilantly rolled to the left, and a "harrier turned over" stood on the ridge.

Ding Yuehua said: "Where did I come from, it turned out to be Sister Ye." ”

Ye Pei glared at Ding Yuehua.

"Since Sister Ye is here, why don't you come down and have a discussion, why are you sneaking around like this."

Ye Pei was excited, so he had to "spread his wings" and jump into the courtyard, "How dare you!" ”

Ding Yuehua also jumped down, threw Ye Pei a green steel sword, and said, "It's all here, why be polite?" ”

Ye Peigang took the hilt of the sword, and before he could speak, Ding Yuehua took a sword "Smoke Wave Fishing", and leaped straight to the heart of Ye Pei's eyebrows. Ye Pei responded with the "Red Heart Sword" of the Bashan Sect, with a move of "boy worshipping Buddha", and closed his sword with both hands to block it. Ding Yuehua didn't wait for the stab to be stabbed and then turned into a sweep, and the sword went down the plate, and with a move "Weaver Girl Broken Silk", attacked Ye Pei's calf. Ye Pei jumped up and hurriedly swung his sword from top to bottom with the "Heavy Knock Wooden Fish".

Ye Pei and Ding Yuehua have more than 30 moves back and forth, and Ding Yuehua's moves are so powerful that they are enough to kill people. Because she is extremely fast, Ye Pei only has the ability to parry, and has no power to fight back, which is another kind of embarrassment.

After fifty moves, Ye Pei became more and more inferior, and Ding Yuehua's speed did not decrease, and the tricks were not repeated, which made Ye Pei afraid.

After dismantling twenty or thirty moves, seeing Ding Yuehua's move "Fairy Brocade" pushed horizontally with a sword, hitting Ye Pei's feet, not waiting for the sword to make him old, he immediately picked up and changed it to "Yurong Feitian", stabbed upwards obliquely, and turned into a sweep without waiting for the stab, "Feiyan unveiled the yarn". After Ye Pei jumped up and dodged, Ding Yuehua immediately backhanded his wrist, "Xiaoman looked back". Because of the soft sword used by Ding Yuehua, Ye Pei dodged the blade of the sword, but he could no longer dodge the rebound of the soft sword, and was hit by the back of the sword The finger holding the sword, and with a "bell", the green steel sword held by Ye Pei fell to the ground.

Ding Yuehua quickly jumped out of the way, gasped, and clenched her fists and saluted: "Sister Ye has conceded." ”

Ye Pei was ashamed and annoyed, and his face was flushed.

Shenshan looked at it seriously from the side, and at this time Fang said: "Yuehua, you don't have Ye Pei's basic skills, if you go through dozens of moves, you will naturally be defeated if you don't attack!" ”

Ding Yuehua smiled proudly and said: "That's natural, Sister Ye is a famous teacher and a high apprentice, I just took advantage of the skill." If I continue to fight, I will lose. ”

Ye Pei bit his lip and said, "If you lose, you lose, Sister Ding's martial arts are indeed clever." ”

The Divine Mountain Daoist instructed: "Okay, let's stop here today, you two sisters can say something considerate!" I'm going to meditate and chant the scriptures. ”

"Master has worked hard!" Ding Yuehua retreated, and Ye Pei also gave a salute.

"Let's go, sister!" Ding Yuehua pretended to be affectionate and said.

"I was going to watch the outer Huanyi, and I would bother my sister another day." Ye Pei pouted angrily and said.

"Okay, it just so happens that I have something to do, so I'll go first!"

The two parted ways.
