Liuhemen, is the dragon city has a heritage of the sect, specifically to Xingyi boxing as the creation of the school exercises, although the mountain gate is not big, but has always had a certain status in the dragon city, because Xingyi boxing is an ancient inheritance of exercises, strict requirements for practitioners, but once cultivated, it has a great power, but there are not many cultivators, which is also the reason why Liuhemen has not been incense. On this day, a woman in white stood outside the mountain gate, facing a group of Liuhe disciples. The woman was extremely cold, but she still looked free in the face of a group of Liuhe disciples, and with a slight wave of her sleeves, the one-person high mountain rocks outside the mountain gate cracked inch by inch, and the rubble flew sideways. The fists that the head of Liuhe in front of him had just clenched silently loosened, and he said: "I don't know what Your Excellency has disturbed my mountain gate, if you have any offense, please make it clear." The woman smiled softly: "The little girl only wants to borrow one thing from your faction today, and if she gets it, she will leave." ”

The head of Liuhe looked stunned and asked, "What does Your Excellency want to borrow from me?" If it's okay, can you serve it? ”

The woman flicked her long hair on her chest: "As long as you have a Xingyi fist book, is it okay?" ”

The head of Liuhe was stunned, and his face was sad: "This boxing spectrum is the inheritance of this sect, and it is also the foundation of this sect, and I also ask the head of Rongben to discuss with the elders." ”

The woman's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, a cold air between her eyebrows, and the skirt immediately fluttered without wind, and her teeth opened slightly: "Don't discuss, give it quickly, if you don't give it, I will ......snatch it myself."

Tsing Yi Gate, an ancient and remote mountain gate in Dragon City, is known for its outstanding light skills, although the unique exercises are unsurpassed in Dragon City, but because other exercises are usually very, they can only do some dangerous and shady transactions, so the talent is withering, and now it is just a small mountain gate, this day, two disciples are cleaning the fallen leaves in the mountain gate, chatting while sweeping, a younger one asked the older: "I said senior brother, have you heard that there is, why is our small mountain gate not peaceful recently?" ”

"Oh, what did you hear again?" The older brother swept as he spoke.

The junior brother approached the senior brother and said with a mysterious expression: "I heard that recently, the Liuhe Gate and Tantric Fist, several slightly historical sects, have been destroyed. ”

The senior brother was stunned and asked, "Is the news reliable?" ”

The junior brother replied with a smug face: "Of course it is reliable, but I heard the conversation between the Great Elder and the head of the sect with my own ears. ”

"So, those sects are now extinct? Which sect did it, or was it the royal government? The senior brother asked.

"No, I heard the elders say that there is only one man, and ...... Still a woman, she only took their cheats and did not break their inheritance. ”

"A woman?" The senior brother stopped the broom and fell into deep thought, and the little junior brother continued with his eyebrows fluttering: "Senior brother, you say, will our mountain gate also ......?"

Before the little junior brother finished speaking, he was interrupted by a voice like a swallow: "Excuse me, this is Tsing Yi Gate", the voice thought it was pleasant, and even the disciple raised his eyes and saw a woman, a beautiful woman, with a slender figure, red lips and white teeth, and a pretty face with clear outlines. The junior brother couldn't help but flush his face when he saw it, and his heart beat faster. The older one was quite steady, and asked with a fist, "Is there anything wrong with the girl?" This is Tsing Yi Gate. ”

The woman smiled softly, showing her femininity: "That's good, I'll ask your head to borrow a book of light exercises, can you?" ”

When the senior brother heard this, he hurriedly handed a color to the junior brother, the junior brother turned his head and ran into the inner hall, and after a while, a few people came out of the inner door, headed by a thin old man, skinny but his eyes were bright, his hands were long and bearded just about to speak, the woman's figure had disappeared, but in an instant appeared less than five feet in front of him, the old man's eyes were shocked, and he pretended to be calm and asked: "The old man is the master of this Tsing Yi Sect, what does the girl have to teach?" ”

The woman stretched out her green jade hand: "I want to borrow your light martial arts and return it as soon as I use it, how about it?" ”

The voice is gentle and extreme, but in the ears of everyone in Tsing Yi Gate, it is nothing more than a terrifying talisman.

Inside the artifact gate, after the eldest grandson's public provocation, as Bai Ling said, sure enough, no one else came to trouble Yan Nan, a disciple at the lowest level, it was indeed difficult to attract the attention of others, but Yan Nan was idle and comfortable. Yan Nan also began to think about how to improve himself and make himself stronger, so that at least he would not be provoked by others again, and he would only be beaten. Now, Senior Brother Chun really kept his promise, and would teach him to practice the basic exercises of the artifact door every day, in just a few months, Yan Nan had mastered the essentials, and a set of elementary swordsmanship had been practiced to mature rules, but the more he practiced, the more Yan Nan felt that this set of exercises was just the lowest level of self-preservation exercises. However, Yan Nan did not ask Senior Brother Chun to teach him more advanced exercises, mainly because of Bai Ling, since Bai Ling went out for a trip, after coming back, he let Yan Nan soak in the wooden basin every night, this soak is a few hours, the most terrible thing is that the water in the wooden basin is always turbid, and there is a pungent smell of herbs, every time Yan Nan wants to escape, he often bumps into Bai Ling's well-defined and cold face, and then is thrown into the wooden basin again, every time Yan Nan is thrown back, he grits his teeth with hatred, but he still has to soak for a few more hours.

Now, the pure senior brother came less, just asked him to study hard, Yan Nan also took the opportunity to take care of the vegetable garden, fortunately he is proficient in herbal medicine, on this black mountain, there is really a treasure medicine that he could not find in the past, which aroused Yan Nan's interest, because most of them are fire-resistant, anti-toxic herbs, he spent a few days, picked many seedlings, transplanted to the garden, full of a large area, but now it is also lush, full of medicinal fragrance.

Today, early in the morning, Yan Nan saw Ouyang Chun, Yan Nan wanted to invite this senior brother into the house to sit, but this pure senior brother directly pulled out the long sword in a menacing manner, to check Yan Nan's recent practice results. Yan Nan shook his head and had to accept the move, a leaf of spring breeze, Jiaolong went to sea, swallows took off, and all rivers returned to the sea...... A brain came out, and the ears were full of the sound of swords colliding, but he could never touch a foot in front of Senior Brother Chun, Yan Nan had no choice but to blindly fight, he had already forgotten the move, the autumn wind swept away, and the chaotic envoy of a sword and bright moon came out, this time it really forced Ouyang Chun to retreat step by step, and the last sword was chopped, and it was actually made by Senior Brother Chun's horizontal sword, but after a sonorous blow, the sparks flew sideways, Ouyang Chun directly retreated three parts, "Huh" Senior Brother Chun flashed a trace of different color, and he couldn't hold the sword in the right color, this time, The sword in Senior Brother Chun's hand danced out of a silver light, each sword light was extremely powerful, full of strong wind, Yan Nan held the long sword tightly, a burst of excitement, holding the sword also danced a sword flower, the sound of the bell sounded immediately, but Ouyang Chun's sword light was like a maggot possessed, followed one after another, the sword shadow was like a crescent moon tightly wrapped Yan Nan, just when Yan Nan couldn't resist it, Yan Nan's body twisted, like a black shadow flashed to stand five feet away, looking at Senior Brother Chun with a smile.

Senior Brother Chun couldn't hide the suspicion in his eyes, put his long sword into the sheath, and stared at Yan Nan for a moment before he said: "The sunset on the long river, the cold water in the smoke cage, in just a few months, Senior Brother Yan has learned the second-order exercises of this sect, but this is unlikely?" ”

Yan Nan just smiled casually and told Senior Brother Chun: "Senior brother, don't get me wrong, I still learned it from Senior Brother." ”

"On me, I am only responsible for teaching you the primary exercises." Ouyang Chun replied in surprise.

Yan Nan said calmly: "Senior Brother Chun, have you forgotten that every time I fight against you, I will desperately only attack and not defend, that is, I will force Senior Brother to use the second-order exercises for my staff, so I learned it." ”

Senior Brother Chun was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief, and patted Yan Nan's shoulder: "Okay, it seems that I underestimate you, next year's big exam, junior brother may be able to shine." Ouyang Chun raised his head and said with a straight face: "However, junior brother, I see that your last move is plausible, and it is full of internal strength, it doesn't seem to be all from the Artifact Sect's exercises, especially your footwork to avoid the last sword." ”

Yan Nan smiled: "Oh, just because I don't have a heart, I just draw a scoop according to the gourd and add some references of my own, but I still can't resist the senior brother, I'm ashamed." ”

"By the way, senior brother, seeing that you are coming with momentum today, I don't know why I am angry." Yan Nan quickly changed the subject.

Seeing that Senior Brother Chun's expression darkened, it turned out that it was the eldest grandson Senior Brother again, and he bumped into him in the mountain gate, with the temperament of the eldest grandson, it was inevitable that he would be sarcastic, and the two of them were going to duel again after a few words, but fortunately, the Yu Senior Sister arrived in time and resolved a sword, but the price was to accompany the eldest grandson to the back mountain to hunt, Senior Brother Chun was depressed, so he naturally went to the vegetable garden to find a punching bag, of course it was Yan Nan.

After Senior Brother Chun left, Yan Nan thought about it, it seemed that his martial arts had indeed improved a lot faster recently, but against Ouyang Chun, there were still some shortcomings, and Ouyang Chun was only an intermediate disciple of the martial arts hall. It seems that the several sets of exercises given to him by Bai Ling still need to be intensified. If there is no stronger martial arts, it is estimated that even if the person who finds that artifact door is dead. Yan Nan stroked the jade pendant on his chest, it seemed that Bai Ling rarely came out recently, just before Bai Ling entered the jade pendant, he actually threw Yan Nan a meditation book, teaching him to meditate every day, and he was not allowed to lie down when he slept at night, which made Yan Nan slander for a while, but seeing the corners of Bai Ling's mouth that seemed to be smiling, he dispelled the idea of resisting.

Yan Nan saw that it was still early, and suddenly remembered the cold disease of the old grandson, a few days ago Yan Nan specially got him some herbs to soak, this old grandson actually felt a little better, and continued to pester Yan Nan in the past few days. Yan Nan remembered that there were several perennial fog entanglements in the depths of this Black Mountain, and he had read the Master's medical scriptures, and expected that there should be several hot springs under the Black Mountain, and the rocks in the hot springs should have a miraculous effect on cold diseases when placed in the water.

When Yan Nan walked to the back mountain, he realized that Montenegro stretched for more than ten miles, and there were low plants everywhere. However, there are some herbs that are hard to find elsewhere, but there are many here. Unconsciously, Yan Nan has walked to the depths of the back mountain, getting closer and closer to the mist, when Yan Nan walked in, his eyebrows frowned, this seems to be the fog but has a strong sulfur smell, and the source of this fog is indeed a gushing spring water bubbling out of the mountain cliff, the spring water is turbid, emitting repeated white smoke, Yan Nan looked at the mottled yellow rocks at the water's edge, and the corners of his eyes moved. Yes, this should be the Stone of Sulfur as described in the book.

Yan Nan just went down into the water, a wave of heat hit the soles of his feet, the temperature of this water is not very high, but it can be soaked as if penetrating the skin, from the blood are full of burning sensation, but Yan Nan gradually found that if you soak for a long time, the burning sensation slowly subsides, and the moisture all over the body flows outward, which is extremely comfortable. Yan Nan was transparent for a while, and it was difficult to give up. While he was enjoying it, a strange sound suddenly came from his ears, very faint, like a baby's cry, Yan Nan suddenly had a spirit, in this empty valley, suddenly there was a cry, it was particularly harsh, Yan Nan listened carefully, although the sound was weak, but it was really there. Since Yan Nan was used to meditating, after this period of time, he found that his perception ability was also extremely sensitive, and he could always perceive subtle tastes or sounds clearly. This time, of course, will be no exception.

He found that the sound came from a dense fog not far away, but the fog was too thick for him to see clearly, so he couldn't help lowering his body and touching it lightly, where there was a natural rock pit, where most of the water flowed together, so that a very deep spring was formed, and a large amount of smoke was thick and thick. Yan Nan hid behind a black boulder, and when he looked over, the spring water was actually jet black, and the middle was like boiling water, bubbling and rolling, and there were a lot of bubbles. It turned out that there was a spring in the ground, and on a large smooth stone slab at the water's edge, a fiery red object was shaking, and this cry came from its body.

Yan Nan shook his head and walked over, carefully looking at this little thing, his whole body was a fiery red color, shrunk into a ball, like a burning flame, the fur was smooth, the flow lines were bright, especially the tail, like a rainbow, emitting streamers. This turned out to be a little fox, eyes half-closed, trembling all over, with a feather arrow inserted in the root of the hind legs, Yan Nan saw it, this arrow is the iris arrow of the artifact door, this arrow is extremely fast, the arrow is sharp, but fortunately it only hurts the hind legs, but the wound has been red and swollen, and then do not deal with it, it is estimated that this little thing is also in danger of life, it is expected that this little thing should be dragging this long arrow to the water's edge, ready to clean and disinfect inside, may just arrive at the water's edge, and faint due to physical exhaustion. Yan Nan looked at this little fox very lovingly, possessed and brushed its smooth fluff, the little fox was already half dizzy, seeing the touch of the living, instinctively leaked a fierce look, opened his sharp teeth, but faintly raised his head a few times, and lay down weakly, it seems that the injury is really not light. Yan Nan carefully stroked its fluff, and saw that the little fox was really unable to support it, so he hurriedly held on to the arrow body, held down the little fox's hind legs, and quickly pulled out the arrow feathers. The little fox let out a low roar, and its body trembled even more. Yan Nan didn't care if it was painful, he squeezed the wound with his fingers, and more black blood gushed out, it seemed that this injury should have been a long time, Yan Nan had to hold its weak hind legs and rub it, until fresh blood flowed out, Yan Nan let out a sigh of relief, gently put the little fox at the water's edge, and began to rinse the wound.

It's also magical, as soon as he entered the water, the little fox came to his senses, first the corners of his mouth opened, leaking out a row of sharp fangs, and it could be seen that Yan Nan cleaned his wounds, so he was no longer fierce, and his two small eyes were spinning, staring at the person in front of him. Seeing that the wound was cleaned, Yan Nan put it back on the stone platform again, took out a few herbs from the back and put them in his mouth to chew them, applied them to Xiaohu's legs, and then tore off a piece of fabric from his shirt and wrapped his legs.

After Yan Nan finished everything, he actually touched the little fox's head fondly: "It seems that your injury is not light, it is very dangerous to continue like this, why don't you go back with me to recuperate?" ”

The little fox seemed to understand Yan Nan's meaning, and the anthropomorphic blinking, licking Yan Nan's hand with his tongue in the depths, his expression was extremely intimate, which made Yan Nan chuckle.

Yan Nan returned to the vegetable garden and placed the little fox in the thatched hut, watching the little fox hide in a corner obediently, Yan Nan did not plan to trap it, and walked around with it. At the same time, Yan Nan is also quite interested in this little fox, it seems that it is quite human, and can understand every word of Yan Nan, Yan Nan thinks that it is an interesting thing to have such a little thing as a companion.

Lao Sun is not a senior disciple in the Artifact Gate, but he is the oldest one, he has come to the Artifact Gate since he was young, and has experienced the Artifact Gate from an unknown small mountain gate to one of the four major sects, and he has decades of experience during the period. He is quite familiar with the artifact gate, but unfortunately, he is not a martial arts material, and he can only be a senior disciple of foreign affairs in Siwutang, and it is estimated that he will die in the door in the future.

Lao Sun was soaking in the potion prepared by Yan Nan, and sighed at Yan Nan for a while. Yan Nan just listened quietly, interjecting from time to time. Lao Sun finally squinted at Yan Nan with small eyes: "You kid looks quite clever, and you have a recommendation from the palace, why did you choose to come to the artifact gate to learn martial arts?" ”

Yan Nan sighed: "Isn't the artifact door bad?" ”

Lao Sun smiled: "Didn't you kid inquire before learning martial arts, Longcheng Martial Arts Artifact Sect is not as good as other major sects at all, does your kid have other purposes?" ”

Yan Nan replied flatly: "Sun Lao joked, I am only an orphan, just like you, it is not easy to be lucky enough to get a recommendation, how can there be more thirst." ”

Lao Sun nodded: "Well, yes, there has been a ballad in the previous generation in Dragon City, and I guess you haven't heard it either." ”

"I want to hear about it"

Lao Sun knocked on the table and said: "The previous generation has been circulating a few words - flowing clouds and frost are full of blue peaks and arrive at Wanchuan Dragon City, double flying swallows and a sword increase the twilight cold"

Yan Nan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Old Sun, I have heard of the first few sentences of the Yunshan Liuyun Sect, the Qingshan Sect and the Longmen Sect, but which sect is this last sentence of the One Sword Increasing Twilight Cold?" ”

Lao Sun pondered for a moment, and then said: "This is a long time ago, at that time the artifact gate was just a small sect, in the Dragon City very abruptly appeared such a swordsman, shining in the Dragon City, not only defeated the head of the three major sects, but also heard that his sword can not be resisted at all, this person has no door and no faction, and was finally recruited by the palace, it is also the young Changrong Giant Clan raised troops to attack Dragon City, the Changrong Giant is extremely powerful, no one can be the one, it is also this Yan Zhuangshi, who actually killed several generals with the power of one person, In the end, Changrong retreated to the Western Wilderness. Therefore, at that time, the people of Longcheng listed a sword twilight cold as the strongest among the masters. ”

Yan Nan was stunned: "Then where is this person now?" ”

Lao Sun shook his head: "Since Changrong retired from the army, this Yan Duhan has disappeared since then, and has never appeared again, some people say that he wandered the world, and some people say that he died of serious injuries, no one knows the specifics." It was also after that battle that the Artifact Gate suddenly flourished, and for a few years it held the position of one of the four major sects, and it has remained until today. ”

"The artifact gate can change from a small sect to a huge mountain gate today, so it can be seen that the master of the artifact gate is also a great person?" Yan Nan said.

Lao Sun snorted: "It's a pity that the current Tang Sect Master rarely shows up, and he has been in retreat for a long time." ”

"Retreat?"

"Yes, over the years, it seems that I have rarely heard from the door master Tang Nian, and everything is taken care of by the deputy door master. And—"

"How" Yan Nan looked at Lao Sun.

Lao Sun's wrinkled face was gloomy for a while: "Forget it, it doesn't matter what you kid said, before the door master retreated, the artifact gate suddenly set up a secret envoy hall, and sealed the four messengers - chasing clouds, wind and thunder, blood sword, and Shura, these four are above each hall, on par with the elders, and only obey the orders of the door master. But I think that the artifact gate is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and it is necessary to increase its strength, otherwise it will be suppressed by the palace, and this Dragon City has been peaceful for more than ten years. ”

"Is this palace terrifying?" Yan Nan asked puzzled.

This old grandson didn't seem to have listened to him so carefully for a long time, but he opened the conversation box for a while, licked his shriveled lips and continued: "Speaking of which, it seems that Dragon City allows each sect to develop on its own, but it has its own sphere of influence, and behind the division of forces is the handiwork of the palace, and all sects will also be restricted by the palace. For so many years, the palace has supported its own troops, hidden masters like clouds, on the one hand, it has supported and divided and conquered each faction, and each faction has also racked its brains to expand its own power, and at the same time, it is also guarding against the suppression of other sects. ”

"Is this palace really so powerful?" Yan Nan muttered to himself.

Lao Sun smiled, "It is said that there were also a few sects that did not obey the restrictions of the palace back then, and as a result, overnight, the mountain gates were all gone, and the consequences can be imagined——"

After Yan Nan came back from Lao Sun, he had an in-depth understanding of the power of Dragon City, and for the artifact gate, he basically had some impressions of the hall masters, but he didn't see the person he wanted, only a few elders and four secret envoys didn't seem to have an impression, and the more mysterious artifact head seemed to be that person, Yan Nan fell into deep thought.

Back in the vegetable garden, Yan Nan didn't see the little fox, and called a few times, only to see the herbs tumbling from it, and a ball of fiery red drilled out, wagging a fan-like tail and sitting in front of Yan Nan, his black eyes blinked anthropomorphically, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be holding a piece of the root of the herb, chewing tastefully. Yan Nan shook his head for a while, and then looked at the medicine garden he had worked so hard to run, and now it had been dug up by this little guy, and some mature rhizomes were eaten by it as real objects. Yan Nan patted Xiaohu's little head: "It seems that it will be harder in the future, seeing that you are like fire, let's call you Huo'er, can you?" ”

The little fox tilted his head to look at Yan Nan, licked his hand, and circled around him a few times, his expression was extremely cheerful, Yan Nan teased it for a while, then sat cross-legged on the couch, and slowly began to meditate into the night, Yan Nan has long been accustomed to this kind of life, at first, Yan Nan will always fall asleep unconsciously, but slowly, the longer he meditates, the more he feels full of energy, even if he sits all night without a trace of sleepiness, and when meditating, there is always a warm current surging throughout the body, making him feel comfortable and light. Yan Nan gradually liked this feeling, the heat flow in his body changed from a trace to a wisp, and slowly turned into a few streams, and now he can feel that this heat flow is like a stream, slowly swimming all over the body, hitting every acupuncture point around the body, every time he flows through, his strength is slowly increasing, he doesn't know Bai Ling's intentions, but it seems to be more effective than soaking potions every day. In this way, before you know it, the night passes. And Huo'er sat next to him every day to guard for a while, and sometimes when he was tired, he yawned and walked into the medicine garden on his own.
