After Lin Xiuyuan returned to the palace, his parents had already returned, and after Lin Xiuyuan saw his mother's gentle smile, he restrained the low mood in his heart, ate with his parents, and said some homely gossip, until his parents returned to the room, and then went to the back mountain alone.

Sitting in Xie Shui Pavilion, Lin Xiuyuan's state of mind could not be calmed down for a long time, he could not calm down, he was naturally unable to practice well, so he simply did not go to practice, and walked down Xie Shui Pavilion by himself, came to Yuquan Lake, and then got up a boxing fight, and began to box.

But tonight, he was like returning to the time when he had never stepped into cultivation, punching over and over again, without using any true yuan power, just simply practicing boxing, as if only in this way could he express all the restlessness and depression hidden in the depths of his heart.

As he punched more and more, his fisting techniques became faster and faster, and Lin Xiuyuan's heart finally began to gradually calm down, and all the distracting thoughts dissipated in the world as the fists were handed out again and again.

But he didn't stop there, but punched more quickly, his mood was stable, and the fist came out naturally, even if he didn't use any true yuan power, a coercive atmosphere arose spontaneously, like a towering mountain, standing behind him.

And Lin Xiuyuan himself gradually fell into a wonderful realm, his mind was completely immersed in punching, and he forgot about himself.

Not only that, but the faint dullness he felt after every punch gradually disappeared, and the fist intent flowed smoothly, mellow and wishful, and the cycle began again and again, forming a Zhoutian cycle.

A figure appeared in front of Xie Shuige, it was Xu Yuanyou, at this moment, he did not have the smile of the past, but was a little surprised:

"The mountains and rivers are in harmony, the heaven and the earth are together, tsk, this kid is not simple, such a big weather, this kind of talent is too scary."

At the same time, he turned his head to look at the Imperial Palace, because he knew that there was another person in the whole of Kyoto who felt the strangeness of this place, but the moment he looked over, that gaze disappeared.

Xu Yuanyou just smiled slightly, and secretly said in his heart, this old guy is really good-looking, obviously he is very concerned, but he just puts on an attitude of ignoring it.

After the night passed, Lin Xiuyuan finally woke up from his fist, and his fisting technique finally stopped, until this moment, he felt a trace of soreness on his arm, but his spirit was extremely excited, and he didn't seem to have any tiredness.

When he thought back to his previous state, it seemed to be very subtle, and he had entered a rare state of self-forgetfulness, a state that had never appeared even in his years of cultivation.

"Congratulations."

A laughing voice came from the side, Lin Xiuyuan raised his eyes and looked, not far away, on the Xie Shui Pavilion, Xu Yuanyou was sitting on the railing of the corridor outside, with his feet on the outside, holding a wine jug in one hand, waving to himself, and his face was still smiling.

Lin Xiuyuan asked:

"Why are you here? When did it come? ”

Xu Yuanyou floated down, came to his side, and said casually:

"Since you started boxing, I've been here, tsk, you are worthy of being a genius of martial arts, and you have really comprehended the true fist intent."

Lin Xiuyuan frowned and said:

"Fist intent? I realized it a long time ago. ”

Xu Yuanyou rolled his eyes and said:

"The kind of false fist intent you had before, but you just comprehended the state of mind of some martial arts punches."

Lin Xiuyuan asked:

"Then what is the true meaning of boxing?"

Xu Yuanyou pointed to the sky, and then said in a deep voice:

"Echoing with heaven and earth, combining with the avenues of the world, punching the moment, the weather rises, and the evolution of heaven and earth is where the true comprehension lies. And just last night, in the realm of selflessness, you have already comprehended the true meaning and evolved the weather of heaven and earth. From now on, your boxing skills can be ascended step by step. ”

Lin Xiuyuan was stunned, and then carefully felt the changes in his body, which was not obvious, but the moment he put out the boxing again, there was a faint connection with heaven and earth, even if it was not very strong, but he could feel it, and he even found that if he was willing, he could carry this trace of heaven and earth power at the moment of punching, and attach it to the fist, and the power was far stronger than before.

He didn't expect that he was a little frustrated, so he thought of using boxing to relieve the emotions in his heart, but instead of thinking about it by mistake, he got an unexpected joy.

This is the legendary gain and loss.

After a night of boxing practice, Lin Xiuyuan's state of mind finally stabilized again, although that trace of loss did not disappear, but it was buried in the deepest part of his heart.

Xu Yuanyou made a special trip to protect him, since he finished practicing boxing, Xu Yuanyou left, he has always been most concerned about fortune-telling, according to his words, he is experiencing the suffering of the world, observing the state of life, so as to understand the avenue.

This kind of statement, it is estimated that only he believes it, at least it is difficult for Lin Xiuyuan to see what he is experiencing from his lazy appearance.

In the days to come, Lin Xiuyuan's life became monotonous and busy again, after his parents came back, he spent most of his time with his parents, and in his spare time, he went to the back mountain to practice, as for the conversation with Meng Yiyao that day, he was subconsciously forgotten.

And such days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, more than a month passed.

And there are only three days left before he acts as a protector and goes to Haoran Academy.

On this day, news came from the palace, it was Chen Wushuang's message, asking Lin Xiuyuan to go to the palace.

Lin Xiuyuan knew that it was about going to Haoran Academy, so he readily agreed.

This time he entered the palace and did not participate in the banquet, nor was he summoned by the emperor, of course, the actual status of the national teacher in the palace was not worse than that of the emperor, but Lin Xiuyuan still chose to wear his simple clothes, carried a long knife, and came to the palace alone.

Under the guidance of a guard, Lin Xiuyuan soon came to the Linyuan Pavilion where Chen Wushuang was, and here, there were already four people who had arrived in advance, it was Duan Yunhai and Qi Chun, Yao Zihan, and Lu Hua who had met at Princess Changyang's farewell banquet. At the same time, the national teacher Chen Wushuang also stood on the steps in front of the attic, holding his hands behind his back, waiting silently.

Today's national teacher, wearing his own cloth robe, looks less like a national teacher, more like a teacher. After seeing Lin Xiuyuan coming, he just nodded calmly.

Lu Hua and Yao Zihan both smiled at Lin Xiuyuan, but Duan Yunhai was still expressionless.

On the contrary, it was the young genius of the Qi family, Qi Chun frowned a little dissatisfied, as if he felt that Lin Xiuyuan came too late, which made him unhappy, but because the national teacher was here, plus Lin Xiuyuan's own strength, he didn't say anything.

After Chen Wushuang saw that everyone had arrived, he didn't say anything, but said to everyone:

"Come in with me."

Then he turned around and walked towards the attic, Lin Xiuyuan glanced at the four of them, nodded to Lu Hua and Yao Zihan, and then took the lead in walking in, after he entered, Duan Yunhai and Qi Chun entered one after another, and Yao Zihan and Lu Hua walked behind.

The first floor of the attic was empty, there was nothing but a huge statue of a sage, Chen Wushuang stood in front of the statue, pointed to the four people, and said to Lin Xiuyuan:

"These four people, I know that you already know each other, so I don't need to introduce you, I called you here today, even if it is to inform you, three days later, you can go to Haoran Academy."

Speaking of this, he raised his hand and waved, and the previous scroll of drawings of the statue automatically flew into Lin Xiuyuan's hand, after Lin Xiuyuan caught it, he spread it out and looked at it, but it was a map, the map was the map of Guji Prefecture and Guyongzhou, the land of the two states, and there was a route to Haoran Academy on it.

Chen Wushuang said slowly:

"This is the route to Haoran Academy, among the many routes, it is one of the safest routes, and there are several places on the way, if you are destined to meet, you can adapt to your own situation."

Lin Xiuyuan put away the drawings and nodded, and Chen Wushuang looked at the four of them again:

"Lin Xiuyuan is your protector, and it can also be understood as your acting teacher, along the way, he is the leader, you need to abide by his requirements, you must not make your own decisions on the way, and you must not disobey things, otherwise, he will have the right to deprive you of the right to enter the academy, this constraint, until you enter the academy."

As soon as these words came out, the four of them all changed color slightly, of course, Yao Zihan and Lu Hua were relatively good, and they were not hostile to Lin Xiuyuan, but they felt that the other party had so much power, and they were a little surprised.

And Duan Yunhai and Qi Chun, their faces were a little unsightly, especially Duan Yunhai, his expression was a little gloomy, but in the end, his lips only moved, and he never spoke.

Qi Chun asked directly:

"Dare to ask Master Chen, what if he wants to target us on the way, deliberately embarrass us, or even drive us out for his own selfish interests."

Chen Wushuang just glanced at him lightly, then looked at Lin Xiuyuan, who was expressionless, and said indifferently:

"Our academy has its own way of distinguishing, of course, with my understanding of him, he shouldn't do anything like that."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts seemed to understand something, it seemed that along the way, Lin Xiuyuan, the academy also had restrained means, and it was even possible that he was not the only one to escort him.

Qi Chun's eyes rolled, and he stopped talking, and Chen Wushuang looked at Lin Xiuyuan again, and said indifferently in the same voice:

"Of course, since you have the right to restrain them, you naturally have the corresponding obligation, that is, to protect the four of them with all your might, and not let them be harmed on the way until you reach the academy."

Lin Xiuyuan said lightly:

"Now that I've taken over this, I'll do it."

Chen Wushuang nodded and didn't say much, after sending the four small tokens to the four people respectively, he informed them of the departure time in three days, and then signaled that the few people could leave.
