Chapter 1 Samurai

Wujiazhuang, with more than 300 households, is located in a basin in the mountains of Western Xinjiang. Twenty years ago, in the last years of the Chu Dynasty, wars broke out everywhere, and the people were struggling to survive. In order to avoid the suffering of harsh taxes and forced labor, the villagers of Wujiazhuang fled from the rich and fertile Zhongzhou into the dangerous mountains and rivers of Western Xinjiang, and since then they have been isolated from the world, and the villagers have cultivated the fields every day to hunt, practice martial arts and fitness, and the days are also tranquil and quiet, and no one has ever gone out of the mountains for 20 years.

It's just that what makes people feel strange is that even if the villagers of Wujiazhuang are closed in the mountains, they will know all about the world's major events.

Since he can remember, he has been living in the samurai village, and it is not clear where he is from, and the only thing that can explain his identity is a jade plaque hanging around his neck, which is engraved with the word "Water Pavilion". Uncle Long and Aunt Feng have brought him up since he was a child, and where his biological parents are, Shui Xie really wants to know, but no one can tell him.

"In troubled times, my parents may have died long ago," Shui Xie often thinks.

The bright moon hangs high, "Bang, Bang!" The sound of whipping continues to echo under the quiet night sky, only look at the small courtyard of Uncle Long's house, a young man holding a long whip constantly whips the stone pillar in front of him, the horse steps down as steady as a rock, the whip is fast and slow, fluttering and weird, as if people and long whips have been integrated, almost every whip is drawn in different positions of the stone pillar, the whip shadow is actually white in the night, as if echoing with the bright moon in the sky, giving people a peculiar beauty.

"Brother Crab, don't you go to rest so late! You are already at the peak of the Shiyu, and you still treat yourself so harshly, alas!" Accompanied by a soft voice, a girl who looked twelve or thirteen years old, although her appearance was not very handsome, but she was very delicate, and standing there gave people a very quiet feeling, as if seeing her could calm people's minds, and there was no trace of distractions. This is the youngest daughter of Uncle Long and Aunt Feng, Wu Xiaoqing. In addition to Xiaoqing, Uncle Long and Aunt Feng also have two sons, Wu Dahu and Wu Erhu. Since childhood, Shuixie and the three brothers and sisters of the martial arts family have lived together and practiced martial arts together.

"There's no way, I've been at the peak of the samurai for a whole year, and I still don't even have the slightest feeling of breaking through my internal strength, and the Water Waterfall Heart Sutra is also stranded on the second layer, and even this 'Nine Whips of the Sky' has been standing still for a year, and I haven't made much progress. Shui Xie shook his head, "And the old owner specially said to our younger generation that those who have not reached the realm of martial arts are not allowed to go out of the mountains of Western Xinjiang, I don't know why." The old owner was highly respected, and everyone was unwilling to disobey his words. The world must be exciting, and I really want to get out there. ”

Xiao Qing sat on the big stone at the gate of the courtyard on his knees, his hands on his cheeks, and his eyes looked at the vast starry sky faintly, "Me too, I really want to go out for a walk, but it is too dangerous to get out of the mountains of this western frontier, my two brothers and I are both new to the Shiyu, and if we want to reach the rank of martial artist, I don't know when." ”

It's also difficult for these children, since they were young, they have been isolated in the mountains, facing nothing but mountains and trees, and they are boring to practice martial arts every day, for them, the biggest fun is to go up the mountain to hunt, and the temptation of the outside world for these children is too great.

"Go back, Qing girl, I'm here to disturb the water pavilion again!" A deep male voice sounded in the shadows, and Xiao Qing was frightened, made a grimace at the shadows, and ran back to the house with a slump.

Wu Qilong, the person who was called Uncle Long by the Water Pavilion. When he was five years old, Uncle Long gave the Water Pavilion two exercises, one is the "Water Waterfall Heart Sutra" of the inner strength heart method, and the other is the "Nine Whips of the Sky", but these two secret books, not only Uncle Long himself has never practiced, but also strictly forbids his three children to watch the practice. The two tigers of the big tiger practice is the "split gold quenching boxing", neither a simple internal force heart method nor a simple martial arts move, in the practice of boxing will produce water system internal force, and with the boxing of the skillful internal force is also growing steadily, the boxing method is strong and domineering, the internal force is surging like a tide, it is very wonderful.

Because he was urged by Uncle Long to practice archery since he was a child, the archery of the big tiger and the two tigers is also very accurate, and he can wear Yang in a hundred steps at a young age. Xiaoqing is mainly taught by Aunt Feng, and the practice is "Phoenix Wing Tianxiang", which is an extremely elegant and agile light exercise method. Only Shuixie has practiced hard for nearly ten years, and he has always been enlightened by himself, and Uncle Long and Aunt Feng have never given any guidance. Rao is like this, Shui Xie still relied on his extraordinary talent, it only took two years to condense the martial arts in the dantian, crossed the threshold of the Shi Domain, reached the rank of warrior, and became a martial artist in the true sense. In the next six years, he reached the peak of the Shi Domain, and this kind of rapid cultivation was enough to make many martial artists who had been standing for a long time embarrassed. Now the Water Pavilion has encountered a bottleneck, and it has been unable to break through to the realm of martial arts after staying at the peak of the Shiyu for a year. Of course, this is also normal in the eyes of others, after all, a considerable number of samurai will not reach the realm of martial arts in their lifetime.

"Xe'er, don't worry when you encounter a bottleneck, the samurai stage is the most important foundation building stage, of course the speed of cultivation will be a little slower, it took me three years to break through from the peak of the samurai, and when I reach the realm of martial arts, the speed of cultivation will increase a little. You're still so young, lay a good foundation, otherwise you won't be able to do it quickly. ”

"Uncle Long, I know all this, it's just that I want to become stronger too much, I want to go out of the mountains to go out to practice," Shui Xie's eyes showed a little confusion, and he whispered to the tall figure under the moonlight, "So, Uncle Long, can you tell me what realm you have reached now?" I just feel that your strength is unfathomable. ”

"Well, this, I can't tell you now, you'll know later. Uncle Long said with a smile.

Shui Xie scratched his head when he heard this: "Uncle Long, I want to go hunting in the back mountains with the big tiger and the second tiger tomorrow, find some wild beasts to practice their hands, and come back with some game by the way, right?"

"That's fine, the overall practice is also very boring, go play, pay attention to safety, but with the combined strength of the three of you, ordinary beasts can't hurt you at all. ”

"Uncle Long, then I'll go to sleep, and you can rest early. After the water pavilion finished speaking, he walked out of the small courtyard.

The moon shines like water.

"It's been fourteen years, the young master is extremely talented, his understanding is extremely high, and in a blink of an eye, he is already at the peak of the Shiyu realm, and it seems that the day when I return to the sect and return to my life is not far away." ”

Looking at the somewhat thin back of the water pavilion in the night, Wu Qilong muttered in his heart.
