Thousands of miles away in Phoenix Mountain, on the upper floor of the lake, it was already snowy, and the surface of the lake was also covered with thin ice.

The young lady and the master sat in the hall on the second floor, guarding a pot of charcoal fire, watching the snowflakes flying in the sky.

In the snow on the other side of the lake, there are senior sisters and brothers practicing swords in the snow, just like autumn, tirelessly.

Xu Jingyun looked at the young lady who was sitting quietly beside her, and said softly: "Wushuang, you have been here for more than four months, and your realm has improved a lot, how are you practicing swordsmanship?"

The young lady looked at the master who was making tea, and said with a red face: "Back to the master, the disciple is too stupid, and he only entered the door after practicing for a few months, and about five to six out of ten leaves can be engraved." ”

Xu Jingyun poured tea for the young lady, added some to her cup, and said with a smile: "This is not bad, after all, Li Ye has a relationship with Buddhism, and there are more opportunities to practice and break through from Buddhism than yours." ”

"Master, I haven't practiced Buddhism, so I can't talk to you about the Dharma, so I can only try to provide you with more resources for cultivation in the sect. ”

The young lady picked up the teacup, looked at the flying snow in the sky, and said faintly: "I don't know how Li Ye practiced with Mr. on the Tianshan Mountain? ”

Xu Jingyun looked at the flying snow outside the hall, and said thoughtfully: "Under the training of Mr., he should be faster than you, if I guessed correctly, Mr. Mo should teach him to cut snow." ”

The young lady asked, "What is snow chopping, master?"

Xu Jingyun stood up, picked up the wooden sword from the table, and motioned for the young lady to follow her to the terrace, where the snowflakes were fluttering and sprinkling on the two of them.

He pulled a sword flower, waved his hand, and slashed a sword diagonally into the sky. Without waiting for the young lady to look carefully, the sword that was swung out had been withdrawn, and the sword body was placed in front of the young lady.

The young lady looked down and saw eight snowflakes stuck to the thin sword, and eight snowflakes were cut off by the master. couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't even see clearly, the master had already cut eight snow.

Looking at the young lady's daze, Xu Jingyun couldn't help but sigh, brushed the snowflakes off her head for her and said, "Go back to the house." If this sword is swung by Mr. Mo, the snowflakes will be at least twice as large as mine. ”

"Not only you, but our master and apprentice must practice seriously, understand?" Holding Sister Li's hand, the two masters entered the house, and Xu Jingyun added a few pieces of charcoal to the stove.

The young lady sat by the fire and watched the master not speak.

"I think when spring begins, you should be able to start practicing swordsmanship. Xu Jingyun took out a hand towel, wiped the water stains off the sword, and gently placed it on the table.

The young lady thought about it seriously, looked at Xu Jingyun and said, "But master, there are no snowflakes falling in the spring?"

Hearing the young lady's question, Xu Jingyun smiled: "Fool, the snow is gone, but there are so many willow trees by the lake, there will be countless catkins, and those flowers all over the mountains, can you cut them all?"

This time it was the young lady's turn to laugh, giggling and giggling. Yes, there are catkins, flying flowers and a mountain of leaves waiting for you, who said that only in winter can you cut snow, I can also wave flowers in spring.

"When you can stick to the falling catkins with your sword, you can also try to chop the petals that are flying in the wind, as long as you keep practicing, I estimate that you will have the opportunity to write your heart's words on the fallen leaves by next autumn, when the leaves start to fall. ”

"And by the winter of next year, if you can cut off three or four snowflakes with one sword, even if your realm in the sect is lower than that of other senior sisters, your sword path will not be weaker than them. ”

In a few years, when you practice to the point where you want to cut off any leaf on the tree, you can cut off which leaf you want to do, and you can reach the realm of dripping water, and you will want to go through the rivers and lakes alone.

All the effort is really just a process of accumulation, just like the willow trees by the lake let the winter snow weigh down for a whole winter, but in the spring, they have to sprout and bloom.

Now you practice calligraphy on the leaves, although it is boring, this is the accumulation of your practice of swordsmanship, if you do not go through this step of practice, you will never be able to cultivate its form and not its spirit.

The highest level of kendo is the divine sword, and wherever I want to, my sword can pierce wherever I want. It is also the boundless and undistant in Buddhism, you have the opportunity to ask Li Ye for advice, he should know a lot about the practice of this method.

The young lady thought about Li Ye's shy appearance, thinking that he was walking on the street with a bowl of water on his head, and he looked crooked and awkward, as if he could fall to the ground at any time.

Thinking about the stupid appearance of him choosing Ruyi for himself in the Golden Treasure Pavilion and obsessively carving the poems behind him, he couldn't help but smile shallowly.

Yes, no matter how hard he cultivates, he is still his junior brother after all, his mother is the master who loves him the most, and when he is successful in his cultivation, he will go back to Fengyun City to surprise him.

Thinking of this, he went to fetch the futon for meditation, put it on the edge of the stove, meditated by himself, and took out half a spirit stone from the space bag and pinched it in the palm of his hand, and began his own day's practice with his heart to the sky.

Xu Jingyun saw it in his eyes, and he didn't make a sound, just quietly drank his tea.

After the little sister went up the mountain, Xu Jingyun gave her five of the twenty spirit stones that she could receive every month, and the young lady herself could also receive two pieces from the sect, adding up to seven pieces per month. And her cultivation speed can take seven or eight days for a spirit stone, and she can save three pieces per month.

Although the young lady's cultivation qualifications are not as good as Li Ye's, with the blessing of the Phoenix Sect's elixir and spirit stones, she has broken through to the fourth level of foundation building, and she faintly wants to chase Li Ye's cultivation.

......

And Dongfang Yu'er of the Sifang City of the Eastern Xuan Domain is the laziest guy, and the young lady has been separated for almost five months, and her realm has only broken through the foundation, and under Li Mingzhu's repeated spurs, she has only broken through one realm, and has reached the second level of foundation building.

Li Mingzhu hates iron but not steel, and counts down by her side all day long.

And Xiao Yu'er looked like she was in debt and didn't worry, and she couldn't speak at every turn: "Mother, I don't want to fight with Sister Wushuang, why are you in such a hurry to practice." ”

After finishing speaking, he had to hug Li Mingzhu and kiss him with a horn, so that Li Mingzhu had no place to send it.

However, the things that made her happy finally came, one was that after she practiced "Qingluan Condensation", her realm actually broke through two realms, from the middle of the Yuan Infant to the seventh level of the Yuan Infant, which finally made her see the hope of breaking through the distraction.

This made her really excited for several days, and even the domain lord Dongfang Haotian was happy for her and set up a banquet for her to celebrate. Even the current realm of the domain lord Dongfang Haotian is only a triple distraction, and the realm of the eldest lady is also a fivefold yuanying.

suddenly surpassed the eldest sister, and Li Mingzhu was naturally happy in her heart. But what made her happy was that the master that Dongfang Haotian invited to Dongfang Yu'er finally arrived in the house on the fifth day after the winter solstice.

The master invited by the domain lord to Dongfang Yu'er was a Dao aunt who came down from Qingcheng in the Central Domain, named Su Qingyue, and in what Dongfang Haotian said, even he couldn't see Master Gong's cultivation clearly.

Therefore, Li Mingzhu is naturally happy, his daughter is not easy to manage, and finding a master with good martial arts skills to discipline him is happier than breaking the realm himself.

In the afternoon of this day, the sky was still snowing, and a carriage came from outside the domain lord's mansion, and the guards guarding the door came up and asked and learned that it was the master invited by the mansion master, so he hurriedly opened the middle gate and led Gong Qingyue into the gate.

Dongfang Haotian happened to be free this day, accompanying Li Mingzhu to drink tea in the flower hall, Dongfang Yuer also relied on her mother to be coquettish, and the family of three was happy.

I didn't think that the master who came to report to the guard had already entered the door and was coming to the flower hall, Dongfang Haotian got up and went to the outside of the hall to greet him, Li Mingzhu also put Dongfang Yu'er down on the ground and pulled her out to pick up the master.

I saw that the guards in the house followed a five-year-old man, dressed in a blue plain clothes, with black hair tied to a black silk scarf, casually thrown behind him, a three-foot scabbard pinned to his waist, his feet wore Qingcheng's unique mango shoes, and a black silk scarf around the hat he wore on his head, a plain beauty alive.

Dongfang Haotian hugged his fists from afar and gave Su Qingyue a salute. Oriental Pearl stepped forward to bless one, and she saw the ceremony. Su Qingyue naturally hugged her fists and gave the two of them a return salute. Li Mingzhu took her hand and said happily: "Oh, it's finally time for Master Su, I am Ming Li Zhu, the mother of your apprentice Dongfang Yu'er, you can just call me Mingzhu in the future." ”

Su Qingyue nodded lightly and said, "In this way, I will have to make trouble with the domain master and his wife in the future." Then Li Mingzhu pulled himself into the flower hall.

Dongfang Yu'er opened her eyes wide, she didn't know that her parents had found a powerful master for her, thinking that there was a beautiful guest in the house. followed his mother and entered the flower hall.

Li Mingzhu invited Su Qingyue to take a seat, served fragrant tea, and waited until she sat down firmly before she said softly: "Master Su, this is the little girl Dongfang Yuer, who will be eight years old in the next year." ”

He turned his head again, pulled Dongfang Yu'er to his side, pointed at Su Qingyue and said, "Yu'er, this is Master Su that your father invited from Qingcheng with great difficulty, you must follow her to practice well in the future." ”

At this time, Su Qingyue had already taken off the hat on her head, put it on the table, and said softly: "Yes, the foundation has been built at such a young age." ”

Dongfang Haotian and Li Mingzhu were both dazzled, they expected that Master Su was a beauty, and when she took off the hat, she found that she had a delicate melon seed face, a pair of bright phoenix eyes (the same as Li Hongsleeve), a towering nose, coupled with a cherry mouth, a beautiful woman who was shy of flowers in the moon.

Dongfang Yu'er was also stunned, and couldn't help but open her mouth and said, "Hello sister, master, you look as beautiful as my aunt." ”

Su Qingyue was stunned when she heard this, and said in her heart that this little guy is too cute, and he actually calls himself his master sister, it seems that the family can't tell his age.

I am also secretly happy in my heart, women, how can I not like others to say that I am beautiful, let alone my own apprentice.

When Li Mingzhu heard this, she glared at Miss Yu'er, and said solemnly: "What master sister, this is your master, do you know? Master is your second parent, how can anyone call your parents sister?"

Dongfang Haotian laughed when he heard it, in his eyes, his daughter was nothing to play a little temper.

Dongfang Yu'er listened to her mother's admonition, tilted her head and thought about whether it was wrong, how could her master call her sister indiscriminately. So he stepped forward honestly and blessed Gong Qingyue, and said, "Disciple Dongfang Yu'er, I have seen Shizun." ”

Su Qingyue also likes this cute little guy, pulling her by her side, looking up and down, with a look of love.

Dongfang Haotian saw it in his eyes, and was naturally happy, and said to Su Qingyue with his fists: "Master Su, let's choose a day and let Yu'er officially worship you as a teacher, what do you think?"

Gong Qingyue Qiong's nose wrinkled, and she said softly: "Cultivators don't pay so much attention to it, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, just now." Just serve tea and salute. ”

Li Mingzhu was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked his subordinates to prepare tea again, asked Su Qingyue to sit upright, let Dongfang Yuer toast the tea, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times honestly, and completed the simple apprenticeship ceremony.

Su Qingyue helped Dongfang Yu'er up from the ground, touched her head, and said with a smile: "You will be my only disciple in the future, and cultivators should no longer use secular etiquette when they bow in the future, just follow the etiquette of the master." ”

Dongfang Haotian and Li Mingzhu both nodded, and after apprenticing to the master, they naturally had to listen to the master.

Dongfang Yu'er tilted her little head, hugged her master and said, "Master, Qingcheng is so far away from here, why don't you see you with your luggage?"

Su Qingyue didn't answer her question immediately, but shook her hand and put a silver-like bracelet carved with a phoenix on Dongfang Yu'er's small hand. Only then did he say softly: "This is a meeting gift for you from the master, you have to keep it for a good life, don't lose it." In the future, when you go out, your luggage will be placed in it. ”

Dongfang Yu'er was stunned, not knowing what to say.

It was Dongfang Haotian who understood first, and hurriedly followed Dongfang Yu'er and said, "Yu'er, thank you for the gift from the master." It's just that this gift is too expensive, I'm afraid Yu'er can't afford it. ”

Su Qingyue said with a smile: "If she wasn't my disciple, she wouldn't be able to bear it." But since she has worshipped me as a teacher, there is nothing she can't afford. ”

After speaking, he picked up Dongfang Yu'er, whispered softly in her ear, and passed on the method of opening the space bracelet to her, asking her to memorize it in her heart and not read it out loud.

Dongfang Yu'er listened to what she said in the master's arms, and couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that she would never have to run around with a package on her back in the future, and anything could be put into this bracelet.

I was so happy that I couldn't help but hug my master's head, kiss her on the face, and then said happily: "Thank you, master, Yu'er is so happy." ”

Su Qingyue was stunned, she didn't expect the little apprentice to give herself such a blow, her face couldn't help but flush a little, and she took out a silk scarf and wiped it gently.

Dongfang Yu'er jumped off the ground from her master, took out the brocade bag given to her by Li Ye from her arms, shook her little hand, and threw it into the space bracelet, she couldn't help laughing, and she was never afraid of losing things in the future.
