Volume 1 The Family Chapter 38 The Mystery Man

In the early morning of autumn, although it is not as cold as winter, it is already a little cooler. Just woke up from a good night's sleep, and the whole of Mu Mansion was still full of a trace of melancholy.

However, at this time, the Qianlong Pavilion is not such a scene at all, just like the autumn chrysanthemums blooming in the courtyard, filled with the unique vitality of autumn.

Autumn comes on September 8, and a hundred flowers are killed after blooming! Autumn is the time to enjoy chrysanthemums, although it is the time of the autumn equinox, but this brocade is full of the scenery of the sun! The golden chrysanthemums in the Qianlong Pavilion are displayed and swaying in the wind, but no one appreciates such a view.

"Drink ——!"

The place where the cheers came from was Xue Ling'er who was exercising in the morning. At this time, Xue Ling'er was practicing a set of martial arts, and the girl's movements changed very quickly, sometimes smart, sometimes elegant, sometimes soft and light, sometimes strong and powerful. Different from Mu Jingxi's fierceness, Xue Ling'er's moves are quite beautiful in the changes, and her posture and appearance are already soft, under the morning light, she looks like a dancer, heroic.

Obviously, unlike Mu Jingxi's jerky and clumsy when he first left, Xue Ling'er's martial arts at this time had greatly improved.

"Alright, that's it." It was Mu Qing who spoke. During the time that Mu Jingxi left, he took a lot of thought into Xue Linger's guidance.

Hearing Mu Qing's words, Xue Ling'er hurriedly stopped and said, "Brother Mu Qing, you're awake." ”

"You're training here early in the morning, and I can't sleep even if I want to." Mu Qing said a little helplessly.

Hearing this, Xue Ling'er stuck out her tongue mischievously and lowered her head apologetically.

"You girl, you work too hard, don't exhaust yourself." Mu Qing smiled helplessly, and then said.

Over the past few days, Xue Linger's hard work Mu Qing has seen it in her eyes, and she can't help but feel a little sorry for this little girl. But then again, it was the result of Xue Ling'er's efforts, and now she was not the little girl who didn't know much about martial arts when Mu Jingxi first left. At this time, Xue Ling'er had already stepped into the middle stage of the martial arts realm due to Mu Qing's one-on-one guidance and unremitting efforts, and such progress could not be described as rapid.

"According to this progress, presumably by the time the young master returns, you will have already stepped into the realm of martial artists." Mu Qing appreciated the authenticity.

"That's not what you taught well." The girl said with a smile.

"That's, don't look at who taught it, just our young master's teaching, it's not a mistake, it's a pity that you are a good seedling, let me come ......as soon as possible" Mu Qing was very proud when he heard this, and hurriedly boasted.

"By the way, Brother Mu Qing, you are also ...... now It's a lot stronger, right? Xue Ling'er asked with some uncertainty. Now she already has some perception of spiritual power, but Mu Qing's strength is too different from him, and she doesn't know what Mu Qing's strength is. But thinking that he has made a lot of progress, then Mu Qing will never stand still.

"Hmm...... It can be regarded as touching the threshold of the Nine Yao Realm. Mu Qing said.

"Really!" Hearing this, the girl was very excited, holding Mu Qing's hand with a look of adoration.

"Low-key, low-key ......" Mu Qing seems to be calm, but he is actually happy. Being able to get the respect of such a beautiful girl, Mu Qing is beautiful in her heart, but she still has to maintain her usual mature and steady style, alas, men.

"No, no...... Brother Mu Qing, you won't be bragging. Thinking of Mu Qing's honest appearance, Xue Ling'er said suspiciously.

"What's the matter, it's really in the late stage of the Jidu Realm, and I've already touched the threshold of the Jiuyao Realm." Mu Qing hurriedly defended.

"The more you look at it, the more suspicious it becomes......" Looking at Mu Qing's flushed face, Xue Ling'er's eyes narrowed, as if she had seen through everything, which made Mu Qing speechless.

"I ......"

Mu Qing looked aggrieved, it's not that he's bragging, in fact, Mu Qing's talent is still very high, but he suffers from the low level of the previous exercises, the cultivation efficiency is low, and the cultivation is not as good as Mu Jingxi and the others. However, this time, he received the clan reward-Spirit Rank Intermediate Exercises, and his cultivation efficiency was greatly improved, and because the efficiency of the exercises was too low in the past, the cultivation intensity he carried out was naturally very large, and he had accumulated a lot of money, so it was reasonable to make these progresses.

"You girl, see how I clean you up." Mu Qing said angrily.

"Yikes! Don't dare! Xue Ling'er hurriedly grabbed the road and fled.

……

After making trouble for a while, Mu Qing was also relieved.

"Now that your Guilu Heart Sutra has been practiced to the fullest, you only need to run the exercises to cultivate in the future, but it's just ......" Mu Qing wanted to say and stopped.

Seeing this, Xue Ling'er was a little embarrassed, she knew what Mu Qing meant. During this period of time, Mu Qing not only taught her martial arts, but also conducted actual combat training for her. After all, for martial artists, actual combat experience is also indispensable.

However, due to Xue Ling'er's natural personality factors, she always performs poorly in actual combat, and once she fights with people, she will be in a mess, she only knows how to dodge, and she can't make any moves, let alone counterattack, and she can't even take care of defense. This can be a big headache for Mu Qing.

"Brother Mu Qing, I'm sorry ......"

"Okay, I can't blame you for that, just take your time." Mu Qing hurriedly said with relief.

"By the way, Brother Mu Qing, young master, he ...... Haven't you come back yet? Xue Ling'er asked. It has been more than two months since Mu Jingxi left, and Xue Linger was very worried.

"Well, I don't know about that."

"Oh." Xue Ling'er was a little lost.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, let me see if your skills have improved." Mu Qing hurriedly diverted the topic.

Hearing this, Xue Ling'er nodded and hurriedly put on a posture......

"Don't be afraid!"

"Attack! Attack! ”

"What are you hiding? Fight back! ”

"Look up! Look at me! ”

"Don't close your eyes!"

……

From time to time, Mu Qing's angry voice was heard in the Qianlong Pavilion.

"Ahh Seeing Mu Qing's punch, Xue Ling'er was startled, quickly closed her eyes, and squatted down.

"Hey! How do you, alas! ”

Seeing this, Mu Qing couldn't help but be a little angry. Just now, he has been doing actual combat training for Xue Ling'er and feeding Xue Ling'er tricks. But because of Xue Ling'er's weak temperament, Xue Ling'er did not have a chance to fight back during the period, but as long as Mu Qing made a slight move, he would be so frightened that he closed his eyes, what kind of actual combat exercises?

"I'm sorry, Brother Mu Qing." Xue Ling'er said aggrievedly.

Seeing this, Mu Qing could not bear to blame, so he could only sigh.

"What can I do?" Mu Qing knew that it was useless to blindly scold Ling'er, the key was to let her overcome the shortcomings of her weak character.

"Overcome weaknesses, weaknesses...... That's right. Mu Qing clapped his hands, as if he had an idea.

"Mu ...... Brother Mu Qing? ”

"Ling'er, do you know why you are at a loss as soon as you engage in actual combat?" Mu Qing asked.

"Uh...... I don't know. Xue Ling'er said weakly.

"The key is fear, the fear that comes from the depths of your heart, so when faced with someone else's attack, you instinctively dodge, so to change that, you have to learn to change the way you think about avoidance!" Mu Qingdao.

"Uh...... I...... I don't understand well. ”

"Yes, everybody has fear, and when people are threatened and dominated by fear, they respond in two ways: escape and take the initiative! You just have to overcome the instinct to escape and stimulate the instinct to fight! Mu Qing's eyebrows danced.

"Overcome evasion and stimulate the instinct to fight...... But how do you motivate ......," Xue Ling'er muttered.

"It's not easy!" Mu Qing shouted, startling Xue Ling'er. I saw Mu Qing hugging the front of his clothes, straddled his left leg, and shouted with a horse step: "Come on!" ”

"Well, come? What? Xue Ling'er asked suspiciously.

"Hit me!" Mu Qing looked serious.

"Huh?!"

"To learn to fight, you have to look for what it feels like to hit someone! Overcome the weakness of not daring to make a move! Mu Qing said.

"But......" Xue Ling'er looked embarrassed.

"But what, let you fight, you just have too many scruples! Don't worry, you big brother Muqing don't dare to say anything else, he is an expert when he is beaten! The young master can't beat me to death, what are you afraid of! Be brave! Mu Qing said very seriously.

Seeing Mu Qing so serious, Xue Ling'er understood that no matter how mother-in-law she was, she would be sorry for his good intentions.

"Yikes!"

With some encouragement, Xue Ling'er finally closed her eyes and kicked out bravely!

"Ah——!h

The screams like killing pigs came, Xue Ling'er opened her eyes, and she was startled. I saw that Mu Qing still had the demeanor of a "master", lying on the ground and pouting, his face grabbing the ground, saliva mixed with tears irrigating the land - what a miserable word!

"Brother Mu Qing, don't scare me, are you talking?" Xue Ling'er hurriedly helped Mu Qing up, and when she saw Mu Qing's dementia-like expression, she was so anxious that she cried.

"Two ...... Legs ...... Between...... Can't kick ......" In Xue Ling'er's low sob, Mu Qing's weak voice was ruthlessly buried......

The Henggong Mountains, the continuous mountains have been attached to the autumn colors at this time, and it is the harvest season.

"Red blood vine, high-level mortal level, nourishing qi and replenishing blood, activating spiritual power."

"Xiangling mushroom, high-level, calming the mind and soothing the nerves, warming the muscles and bones."

"Nanxing Baiqi, the spirit level is advanced, it can detoxify all kinds of poisons, and it can also cause hallucinations."

"Xin Yan Fire Fox Coccyx, low-level spiritual level, strong medicinal properties, can help condense spiritual power, improve the realm, can also heal injuries, but it needs to be accompanied by mild medicine, otherwise it is easy to be injured."

"Xuanjing ice chips, high-level spiritual level, black flakes, like crystals, extremely cold, can overcome scorching things, neutralize spiritual attributes, and can also be used with warm things to make strange poisons."

……

At this time, Mu Jingxi was standing blindfolded in front of a boulder, with all kinds of items listed on the stones, Mu Jingxi reached out from time to time to grope for a while, and then reported the grade and efficacy of the items to the end of the Ming Dynasty on the side.

About half an hour later, Mu Jingxi took off the covering cloth and glanced at the hundreds of various medicinal materials and treasures on the stones, Mu Jingxi breathed a sigh of relief, turned back to the end of the Ming Dynasty and said, "There is nothing wrong this time, right?" ”

"Hmm." At the end of the Ming Dynasty, he said lightly, and then waved his hand, and all the medicinal materials on the stone were included in the bracelet.

"Let's eat." The end of the Ming Dynasty.

Hearing this, Mu Jingxi immediately rushed to the fire beside the end of the Ming Dynasty, and at this time, several hares roasting on the fire were exuding bursts of meat fragrance. Seeing Mu Jingxi's impatient appearance, Tantai Ming Mo smiled, and then wrapped a roast rabbit that had already been cut in banana leaves and handed it to Mu Jingxi. Looking at Mu Jingxi's gobbling up, the eyes of the end of the Ming Dynasty were full of love, and he scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, slow down, don't burn." ”

At this time, Mu Jingxi looked a little darker and thinner than when he first left home, but he also grew a lot taller, and he also looked more capable and strong.

Of course, in addition to physical exercise, what is more important is the growth of knowledge and the tempering of the mind. Due to the proper training of the late Ming Dynasty, Mu Jingxi not only gained knowledge, but also because it was different from the hustle and bustle of the city, the tranquility of the mountains and forests also seemed to sharpen Mu Jingxi's temperament, compared with the previous frizziness, he was much more stable at this time. If Mu Hengqian had seen the previous scene of identifying medicinal herbs, he would definitely be extremely satisfied.

After lunch, Mu Jingxi stretched his muscles and bones, ready to practice martial arts, although he did not practice martial arts at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but he also understood the truth of martial arts, if you don't advance, you will retreat. What's more, Mu Jingxi, whose realm is not yet stable? On the mainland, martial artists are often unstable whenever they break through the realm, and once they are subjected to external forces, such as injuries, it is extremely easy to retreat to the previous realm. Therefore, what the martial artist is most afraid of is that after finally breaking through, he will fall again, so he requires Mu Jingxi to have to conduct martial arts training for two hours every day.

It is precisely because of the strict requirements of the late Ming Dynasty and the fact that Mu Jingxi has been soaking Kun Ling to nourish Yuan saliva every day in recent days, that Mu Jingxi at this time has not only completely stabilized in the early stage of Jiuyao Realm, but also improved his cultivation.

"Okay, let's have a good rest today, no need to train." The end of the Ming Dynasty commanded.

"Oh? Why? Mu Jingxi was a little incredulous.

"Because we're going to leave early tomorrow morning." Yutai replied at the end of the day.

"Change camps?" Mu Jingxi said suspiciously, even if you change camps, it won't be enough.

"No, I'm leaving Henggong Mountain."

"Leave? Where to? I haven't had enough of it! Mu Jingxi was a little dissatisfied.

"Stinky boy, you're not a monkey, you can't walk up the mountain?" Yutai Ming Mo scolded with a smile, and then said: "What's more, your cultivation here should also be over, it's time to go to Esong County......

"Esong-gun? Okay, okay......" As soon as he heard that he wasn't taking himself home, Mu Jingxi immediately became interested and jumped up happily.

Signaling Mu Jingxi to calm down, Tantai Mingmo continued: "But when you go to Esong County, you have to promise me one thing." ”

"What's the matter?"

"You are not allowed to reveal your exercises to anyone without my permission." The end of the Ming Dynasty was extremely serious and authentic.

Although he did not practice martial arts at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he could also see that Mu Jingxi's Heavenly Demon Town World Map was a supreme miracle, which would inevitably cause others to covet it.

However, Mu Jingxi didn't turn this corner, and still chattered and protested.

Just as Mu Jingxi spoke, a strong spiritual force suddenly burst out, and before Mu Jingxi could react, he imprisoned him, and at this time Mu Jingxi found that he couldn't even say anything about the activity! In this way, this strong spiritual force slowly squeezed against Mu Jingxi's body, and Mu Jingxi only felt that the bones in his body were in great pain, and he was about to be shattered!

Mu Jingxi had to look at the end of the Ming Dynasty with desperate eyes, however, the end of the Ming Dynasty had no intention of stopping.

Suddenly, just when Mu Jingxi felt that he was about to be crushed, Yutai Mingmo turned his head slightly, and he noticed that a powerful spiritual power appeared behind him.

"Ahem, teacher." was loosened by his mental power, and Mu Jingxi's body was already soaked with sweat.

"What would you do if I were going to kill you?" Feeling that the threat of that spiritual power was gone, Yutai Ming asked at the end of the day.

Hearing this, Mu Jingxi was silent.

"Among your peers in the Mu family and even in the entire empire, you can be described as a genius, but in the forest of the powerful who have long been famous in the empire, you are still only a seedling. That's why I let you hide it and remember that the Si people are not guilty, and they are guilty! "At the end of the Ming Dynasty, he spoke earnestly and authentically.

Hearing this, Mu Jingxi finally understood that his exercises were not capital to show off, so he nodded silently.

At night, the master and apprentice gathered around the campfire, with the twinkling starry sky overhead. Mu Jingxi was gently reciting the classics of the books taught in the late Ming Dynasty.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, who was meditating, he heard a gentle snoring, and Mu Jingxi had already fallen asleep. Seeing this, Tantai Mingmo smiled, then stepped forward gently, took out a piece of leather fur from the bracelet, covered Mu Jingxi's body, and patted Mu Jingxi's head dotingly.

Immediately, the end of the Ming Dynasty slowly walked out of the camp, looked around and said loudly: "Who is the master, please show up." ”

In addition to the sound of insects in the valley, there is only the echo of the end of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Excellency, you don't look like a hero."

However, no one has yet been seen.

"Since Mucheng, you have followed my master and apprentice, and your Excellency has been ordered by the master of the Mu family." Yutai said in a deep voice at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

"Sir, it did." An old voice rang out. Immediately, with a fluctuation, a white-haired old man appeared in front of the end of the Ming Dynasty.
