Lu Shen considered the problem of apprenticeship - the other party came all the way to teach the exercises, which can be said to have given the Lu family enough face, and he was also treated politely.

Although this is because of the love of the year, but now the Seven Stars Gang is in charge of the green forest in the north, Lin Jie is the first person in the Jianghu martial arts list, and the Lu family is just a businessman in Huaizhou, and the difference in status between the two sides is like a cloud and mud.

Not to mention that Lin Jie had a love affair nine years ago, and now he has sent his own daughter to pass on his merits, which is something that must be treated solemnly.

However, as soon as he spoke, Lu Tong directly rejected his idea quite rarely: "Miss Lin's birthday is the same year and month as you, only three days before you, if you worship her as a teacher, won't you laugh at her for being old?" Besides, she is teaching art on behalf of her father, if you really want to learn from her, you should also worship Lin Jie as a teacher, she is your senior sister at most. ”

So when they met again the next day, Lu Shen took the initiative to salute and said, "Lu Shen has seen Senior Sister." ”

"Huh?"

Lin Xi blinked and looked at him a little inexplicably.

Lu Shen asked, "Is it inappropriate to call it like this?" ”

Lin Xi thought for a while and said seriously: "My father didn't take you as an apprentice. You can also call it that, though. ”

Lu Shen finally realized that the young woman in front of him had very little experience in dealing with strangers.

This deepened his suspicions yesterday, Lin Xi looked more like an introverted lady, not like the kind of glamorous and refreshing Jianghu woman who traveled south and north.

"Senior Brother Lu, please take a seat."

After accepting the settings given by Lu Shen, Lin Xi quickly entered the state.

She first inquired about Lu Shen's martial arts experience over the years, and when she learned that he had forgotten the past after he was sick, she explained indifferently: "My father has tempered the foundation for you nine years ago, and taught you the ancestral principles of the Lin family. Although it is only an introductory basic exercise, it is also an excellent method of practicing qi, and if you have practiced it so solidly over the years, even if you forget it on the surface, your body will instinctively breathe in pranayama. ”

Lu Shen said honestly: "But I can't feel the existence of qi." ”

Lin Xi said: "Qi exists in your body, and it will naturally be used when you need it." ”

Lu Shen felt that he understood, but he didn't seem to understand.

Lin Xi was obviously not an experienced master, she didn't see Lu Shen's dazedness, and continued: "I came to Guangling this time mainly to teach you the Shangxuan Sutra taught by my father. Once you have mastered it, you will be able to transform the qi in your body into an internal energy that you can clearly perceive. Whether or not they can master internal strength is a watershed between ordinary martial artists and masters on the rivers and lakes. ”

Lu Shen was stunned, and then asked, "Just learn the Xuan Jing, can you?" ”

Lin Xi said bluntly: "Generally speaking, people who practice martial arts will only choose one internal skill, so as not to be greedy and chew too much, or have conflicts with each other. ”

Lu Shen smiled and said, "Senior sister misunderstood, I mean is there ...... By the way, is there any external power? ”

Lin Xi bowed slightly: "Yes." After you have basically mastered the Xuan Jing, I will teach you one more body technique, fist technique, and sword technique. ”

Lu Shen hugged his fists and said, "There is Senior Sister Lao." ”

"No need to be polite." Lin Xi listened attentively, and after confirming that there was no third pair of ears around, he said solemnly: "Now I will teach you the Sutra of Shangxuan, I hope that Senior Brother Lu can remember it with his heart, and without the permission of his father, he must not tell others about this exercise." ”

Once when he heard Li Chengen talk about the thirty people on the martial arts list, Lu Shen only regarded it as an anecdotal pastime.

It's not that he hasn't seen a master, Li Chengen slashed Beiyan with a knife, and Su Buqing slapped the two of them lightly, all of which were enough for him to understand that there are indeed martial arts in this world that exceed the limits of the human body.

But perhaps because the first impression was too clear, he was never able to connect the woman in front of him with the top players.

Until this moment, Lin Xi's momentum changed slightly after saying those words, and he was a little more proud in addition to his calmness.

Lu Shen calmed down and said, "Senior sister, please speak." ”

Lin Xi slowed down his speech and said: "Those who are masters of the Tao are inside, those who keep it are outside, those who use it are gods, and those who forget it are tools." Take the streamer, plan the flying scene, Ling Liuxu, and dissolve through the Han. Out of the supreme, into the inferior. Through the door of sweat, swim in the wilderness. In a trance, if the appearance is as if it is a feud. Swallow Jiuhua in the clouds, and chew six qi in Danxia. Hai wanders in the vague, soars in the west, tracks the rainbow, tramples the whirlwind, and the one who gets it is also. ”

Lu Shen was engrossed in it, writing it down word by word.

Lin Xi looked at him quietly.

In all fairness, she was reluctant to make this trip, but her father was very resolute, and repeatedly stated that the food sent by the Lu family had saved countless people in the gang back then, and this kindness could not be repaid by just one volume of basic exercises, even if it was the secret of the Lin family, it was a first-class qi practice method on the rivers and lakes.

The reason why she was reluctant was not because she was afraid of any danger in this trip, or because this young master of the Lu family was some kind of difficult prodigal son to get along with-although there were not many beast scum who died in her hands, they were all quite resounding names in the Northland.

What she was worried about was that Lu Shen didn't have the talent for this, and he couldn't even understand the general outline of the Xuan Sutra, which would delay too long.

For her, and indeed for the entire Seven Stars Gang, time is precious and cannot be wasted.

She walked the rivers and lakes of the Northland in the name of the Bodhisattva, not just to kill wicked people like Li Xuan'an, but also to use this identity to open up a new network of relationships and add help to the plans of the Seven Stars Gang and her father.

While she was pondering, Lu Shen had already memorized Fang Cai's words skillfully, and then said, "Please also ask Senior Sister to solve your doubts." ”

Memorizing is only the first step, what kind of mystery is hidden in this passage, and how to practice, he is still confused at the moment.

Who knew that Lin Xi shook his head and said: "Senior Brother Lu, don't worry, it's just the general outline of the Xuan Sutra, and then I will teach you to memorize the first paragraph." ”

"Huh?"

Lu Shen seemed to have returned to his previous life when he was five or six years old, and he became a kindergarten child who sat in a row and waited for the fruit, and the opposite was a teacher who was very patient and persuasive.

Seeing this, Lin Xi said puzzledly: "What's the matter?" ”

Lu Shen pondered: "Senior sister, maybe we can use a more efficient way?" ”

Lin Xi motioned for him to continue.

Lu Shen said: "Senior sister, you can write down the original text of the Shangxuan Sutra, and then I will memorize it from beginning to end." I know the rules of the rivers and lakes, after memorizing it, the paper will be burned. ”

Lin Xi hesitated slightly, but finally nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

The two came to the big case by the window, Lu Shen took the initiative to study the ink, Lin Xi took a brush from the pen holder, spread out the white paper and slowly began to write.

This house is quite quiet and elegant, and Lu Tong has obviously put a lot of thought into it. The servants and maids all live in the front yard, and they will not interfere with Lin Xi except for necessary instructions.

At this moment, there was no sound around, only the breeze rustling through the branches and leaves, and a few insects and birds chirping.

The late spring sunlight is refracted through the window lattice, outlining the lines of light and shadow on the tabletop.

In the quiet room, there is the occasional sound of paper moving, and the atmosphere is extraordinarily peaceful.

Lu Shen stood aside to avoid interference, and for a moment his gaze fell on Lin Xi's curved and soft side face.

He suddenly noticed that her slender eyelashes trembled slightly, as if her heart was not as calm as it appeared, and when he was secretly surprised, his eyes moved to find the answer.

On the snow-white paper, one word after another is showing its full shape.

Lu Shen didn't know calligraphy, and he himself only wrote with the muscle memory left by the original owner, and his handwriting barely met the minimum standards of literati in this era.

But if compared to Lin Xi, his words seemed to have improved by several levels in an instant.

Lin Xi writes very seriously, and the font is definitely not ugly, but it is too serious, and each stroke is like being carved out with a sword, and when combined, it looks very immature.

Lu Shen seemed to have been promoted from kindergarten to elementary school, and witnessed his table mate practicing calligraphy.

Although the scene was amusing, he didn't make any inappropriate noises.

After Lin Xi finished writing the last word, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned his head to look, only to see Lu Shen looking at the paper with an indifferent face.

A touch of shame floated in her heart, but her expression did not change, and she said frankly: "I haven't had much interest in reading and writing since I was a child, which makes Senior Brother Lu smile." ”

Lu Shen's gaze swept over her hands, and she said, "Senior Sister's talent is in martial arts, so naturally there is no need to waste time in other aspects. For most people, literacy is a must, but good calligraphy is not. ”

Seeing that he didn't praise himself against his will, Lin Xi's expression softened a little, got up and handed a stack of papers to Lu Shen, and said, "Senior Brother Lu can first memorize the full text of the Shangxuan Sutra, and then slowly comprehend it." ”

Lu Shen estimated that there were at least more than 1,000 words in this Sutra, and it was not difficult to memorize it, but how to feel it?

He was not self-righteous, and took the initiative to solve: "Dare to ask Senior Sister, where to start with this feeling?" ”

Lin Xi said: "If you read a lot, you will naturally understand the subtlety. ”

Lu Shen was slightly stunned, and then sighed: "Senior sister said this...... Makes sense. ”

He dared to guarantee that if Lin Xi started a class to teach apprentices, he would definitely not be a qualified teacher.

Lin Xi is not a blank sheet of paper that does not understand the world, and he immediately realized that everyone's comprehension ability is different, for example, among his father's personal disciples, none of them can basically comprehend the Xuan Sutra in only three months.

She remembered her previous worries, so she took the initiative to say, "If you have any questions, you can always ask me." ”

"Thank you, senior sister." Lu Shen breathed a sigh of relief, then walked to the side and began to recite silently.

Lin Xi stared at his fully devoted demeanor, and couldn't help but hook a shallow arc on his lips.

It seems to have gone far better than I expected.
