Early in the morning, Li Yan woke up from the dream, at this time the sky was slightly bright, he opened his eyes in a daze but saw that it was a strange environment, the roof was no longer the familiar some of the dark black wooden beams, but the blue-black flat roof, he suddenly had a confusion in his mind, and slowly turned his head to look around the room, only to realize that this was no longer the old house where he had lived for more than ten years, and his heart could not help but feel strange and lonely, he took a breath, sat up expressionlessly, walked to the table and pushed open the window, and a cool feeling blew in from the open window, which made him feel refreshed。

From the window, the valley is surrounded by three peaks, towering into the already somewhat dark blue sky, a few stars in the faint sky with a hint of morning sprinkled down from the sky, the black and blue vines and shrubs in the valley from the valley floor upwards, layer by layer, like the undulating giant back of a monster, birdsong in the valley chirping, with a trace of ethereal and crisp.

Nearby, behind the stone table outside the window was a waterhole, and above the waterhole, a silk mist lingered and swirled, like a layer of book veil covering it, and like a thick cool air rising and curling.

Li Yan stood in front of the window and looked outside, after standing for a while, he felt a lot calmer, turned back to the bed, got dressed, opened the door and walked out, and glanced at the doors on the left, several doors were still closed, so he relaxed his steps and slowly walked to the waterhole.

After coming to the edge of the pool, Li Yan found that the pool is about four or five zhang wide, the shape is oval, one side of the pool is against the mountain wall, there are two or three springs flowing down from the top of the mountain, along the way the stone wall is infiltrated with clean and clean water, the roots of many vines have been washed out of the bare outside, the roots swing with the clear spring flowing water from top to bottom, the two sides of the water flow have green moss shade luxuriantly, forming a number of clear spring troughs from the top of the mountain.

The wave surface of the waterhole is slightly rippling, soaked in a lot of gravel on the shore, the water surface has ripples and ripples, and the silk white mist above it hovers and swims, just like a few white transparent ribbons, the pool water is clear, but I don't know how deep, just look down, the water becomes quiet and black and cold.

Li Yan squatted down, picked up a handful of pool water, washed it on his face, and cleared it into his skin, his skin couldn't help but tremble, but it was very happy.

Li Yan stood up and looked in the direction of the south side of the waterhole, only to find that there was a large area on the south side of the waterhole that looked like a vegetable garden and a flower garden. ”

Li Yan was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly turned around to look for prestige, but saw a person in a black robe standing between the two stone tables in front of the row of rooms behind, smiling and looking at himself.

"Old ...... Teacher" After Li Yan saw the person coming clearly, he quickly turned around and saluted, and said, "It was the student who disturbed the teacher's rest, please punish the teacher." ”

The black-robed man was the third division, and the third division waved his hand to him and said, "The teacher has already gotten up, but he is just meditating and practicing in the room." ”

"This valley is so big, you have time to get familiar with it in the future, and someone will bring breakfast soon, after you wash up and eat, come to the teacher's room here." ”

Li Yan hurriedly replied, "Yes, teacher." ”

After the third division finished speaking, he smiled gently at him, then turned around and walked back. Li Yan looked at the teacher's back, and somehow, he seemed to feel as much love as his father and mother in the old house at home, and his heart warmed for no reason.

Not long after he returned to the room, the woman brought breakfast last night, the breakfast was light, a few steamed buns, a few small dishes, a large bowl of preserved eggs and lean porridge, Li Yan ate very fragrantly. Even these ordinary foods are rare at home, but he thinks about what the teacher asked him to do, and he eats them quickly.

After breakfast, Li Yan hurriedly walked to the first stone house at the mouth of the valley on the east side, and came to the door, Li Yan saw that the door was not closed, it should be the teacher waiting for him, so he stood outside the door and said, "Teacher, disciple meets."

"Oh, you're here, come in. A gentle middle-aged man's voice came from inside, Li Yan walked in, the room was about the same size as Li Yan's residence, it was also a wide wooden bed on the north side, a four- or five-story bookshelf on the west side, but it was full of books, and the east side was also full of simple toiletries, the difference was that a low table was placed on a large carpet in the center of the room, and there was a pair of guqin on the low table, the style was simple, and there were a few mottled places on the body of the piano, but it was very smooth, and it seemed to have been touched for a long time.

There is a small and delicate stove in front of the piano, in which there are three branches of incense, curling smoke slowly floats up from the tips of the three incense sticks, there is a faint smell of sandalwood in the room, and the smell is calm.

Behind the table, a person dressed in a black robe, with his hands in his big sleeves, sat cross-legged, and looked at Li Yan with a smile, it was the third division.

"Come, sit down at the table. Ji Junshi raised his right hand from his sleeve, pointed to the carpet in front of Li Yan and said. Li Yan hurriedly walked to the carpet, took off his shoes and knelt to face the teacher, these etiquettes had been taught in Lao Xiucai before, and the third division couldn't help but smile when he saw him like this.

"Li Yan, today I will tell you some things about this door. After seeing Li Yan sit down, the third division spoke.

"Yes, teacher, disciple listens. Li Yan looked at the teacher and replied respectfully.

"The name of this gate is 'Kikagemon', and it was founded 600 years ago, but it has not been born for generations, and it is usually hidden in the mountains, and is not known to the world. This martial arts is a secret that is not passed on, and the requirements for cultivators are harsh, looking for a disciple is really looking for a needle in a haystack, there are only two or three people in the past generations, but there is only one teacher in this generation. Needless to say, this martial arts is learned at a high level, even if it cannot be said that martial arts are world-beating, but it can also crown a generation. The gentle voice of the third division came slowly, and he paused when he said this.

Li Yanzi listened carefully, and also whispered, "Yes, when the disciple entered the city, he heard that the teacher was like entering a no-man's land in the midst of ten thousand armies, and such a miraculous skill was unheard of. ”

The third master smiled and continued: "In the future, if you cultivate diligently, your achievements may not be under the teacher. Hearing this, Li Yan hurriedly said, "The teacher is serious, how can the disciple be comparable to the teacher, no matter how hard he wants to practice, the teacher will definitely be getting better and better, and he will never be able to catch up." ”

Ji Junshi smiled and said, "My generation should have a proud heart, and you can't do this." ”

Li Yanzi didn't dare to say more, and nodded "yes".

The third division went on to say, "For the teacher, this time out of the mountain is a reason, my Muyingmen in addition to martial arts, the predecessors of the past dynasties in the herbal medicine can be said to be very deep, hundreds of years, generations of ancestors have been in the deep mountains to study the way of plants and trees, although not born, but the world wandering experience is there, but also will hang the pot to help the world, to solve the disease and save the danger, this is also the practice of the past dynasties, learn but can not be used, it is useless, martial arts is just a means of self-protection for us to walk the rivers and lakes. ”

When Li Yan heard this, he couldn't help but be in awe, and said in his heart, "It turns out that in addition to martial arts, there is such a move to benefit the people of Ze Li, which is really decent."

"For the teacher is also in line with this way and practice travel, but unfortunately five or six years ago, into the mountains to collect medicine, accidentally but was injured by an unknown poisonous insect, after several months of healing, did not get better, but there is an aggravation of the performance, helpless also visited a lot of friends, famous doctors, although their medical skills are not necessarily stronger than for the teacher, but who can know whether they know the origin of this poison, if you know the ins and outs of this insect, or know how to remove this poison is not necessarily impossible, but it backfired, but no one knows this poison. As this poison has slowly eroded the internal organs, as a teacher but still can't find the antidote, I can only use my strength to temporarily suppress this poison, but I can only suppress it for seven or eight years, and now it has been about six years, and I can't find the antidote during the next period, so I can only say that my fate should be like this. ”

Li Yan was already taken aback when he heard this, and then looked at the teacher's pale face with a faint black gas, and couldn't help but change his face and said, "Then the teacher didn't think he had found a way to detoxify, otherwise his face wouldn't be like this." ”

Ji Junshi nodded and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, life and death are just fate." ”

Li Yan hurriedly said, "How should this be?"

Ji Junshi stretched out his hand and waved at him, "Hehe, don't be impatient, this is the reason why the teacher was born, I want to find a disciple and inherit the sect, otherwise if the inheritance is broken in me, then how can I deal with the heads and predecessors of the past dynasties under Jiuquan, alas! Such a person is really extremely difficult to find, if the previous door is looking for disciples, then by the heads of the past dynasties in the world, hanging pots to help the world at the same time to find the right person, although this kind of physique people are difficult to find, but this world can eventually be found, but if I follow the previous door to find disciples, but there is no time. Later, I had to think of this method and came to the army, where there were many children and strong physique, so the opportunity to come to the army must have increased a lot. ”

Li Yan heard this, and said in his heart, "It turns out that the teacher came to the army to better find his disciples, and I want to come to the teacher's strange set of silver needle vein prick method yesterday, which is to find this special physique." However, when I thought of the pain in my abdomen, I felt a faint sense of panic in my heart.

The third division seemed to see through his thoughts, and said to him, "This special physique is an invisible physique, not with the method of this sect, and can not be stimulated, although it is inevitably painful when stimulated, but it is also a prerequisite for ensuring the cultivation of this sect's mental method, for the division is also five or six years in this army, but these hundreds of thousands of troops are also looking for seven, seven, eighty, eight, eight, and eight, it took a long time to find two people, one was found last year, and the other is you." ”

Li Yan was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart, "Aren't there only me and the teacher in this valley?" At the same time, I didn't see Chen An and Li Yin mention it yesterday, except for the teacher's bedroom and the cultivation room next to it, the other two houses have all entered, and I still live in one of them. Thinking of this, there seemed to be some impression in my mind, and after thinking about it carefully, I suddenly remembered that when I was thinking nonsense outside the tent on the school field yesterday, the teacher and Marshal Hong were talking, and Marshal Hong seemed to say something "the person I received last time or something.......

When the third division said this, when he saw Li Yan's hair, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, "Hong Linying also mentioned this matter yesterday, why did he still have an abrupt expression." But after a little thought, he understood the reason, but he didn't know that Li Yan didn't hear what Marshal Hong said yesterday.

"Are you wondering if you didn't see the other person who said to the teacher? Speaking of this, he took a slow breath and continued, "That person should be your senior brother, who was found for the teacher at the beginning of last year, and then worshiped the main door. Do you remember yesterday after testing your physique, the teacher asked you if you had ever read a book? ”

Li Yan nodded and said yes, he naturally remembered this.

"Your senior brother has never read a book, after the introduction I thought that under my personal guidance, it was possible to practice, but for the teacher is a momentary impatience, or underestimate the domineering of the heart of the door, after your senior brother practiced for more than a month, in a time for the teacher to enter the city and discuss with the marshal, he ran the follow-up cultivation method he had just learned without authorization, but because of the lack of enlightenment, resulting in a reversal of qi and blood, when he came back as a teacher, he had already ...... , alas"

The third division said that this was already a look of guilt and regret, "This is also to blame me for being a little anxious, for the poison in the teacher's body has not been able to be lifted, the body has been getting worse and worse, and the inheritance of the sect is inevitably a little anxious, in addition to the personal guidance of the master, it also needs to understand the mystery word by word, and then combined with the situation in his own body, slowly guide the internal qi to walk, step by step, but this time the teacher is too confident to teach in person, can be worry-free, and in the end it is an irreparable mistake." Saying this, there were tears faintly flashing in his eyes.

When Li Yan heard this, he was shocked in his heart, "It turns out that the person who came from earlier has died, and Marshal Hong seemed to say that he was more qualified or something, so it seems that he is saying that my qualifications are better than that senior brother who died early? This is not comparable with a dead person, if that senior brother is better than my qualifications, and they all end up like this, then I will be even more unbearable." Thinking of this, he was already in a cold sweat on his back.

He looked up at the teacher, and wanted to say something like that he might not be able to cultivate, but when he saw the tears and a trace of expectation hidden in the teacher's eyes, he was embarrassed at the moment. If he retreats like this, then he may be sent back to the village directly by the teacher, so how to face his father and mother; even if he is better, he has to return to the army to start as a small soldier, but he will inevitably fight on the battlefield, and then he will live or die, he still can't decide, these two results are not what he wants; it is better to fight, not to mention that he is familiar with the private school, and when he studies and participates in enlightenment in the future, if he cannot comprehend, he will never rush to continue to cultivate. Besides, the teacher's ability to reach the sky can only be as invincible as the legend, isn't this the domineering of this martial arts, there is nothing in the world that is not earned for nothing. Thinking of this, his gaze at the teacher slowly became firm.

Ji Junshi looked at his eyes, understood his thoughts, and smiled comfortingly, and then continued: "Since that incident, in fact, the teacher has not had too many expectations, looking for the right person, thinking that the time is not enough, it is really too ethereal, who knows that the sky has eyes, and before I die of depression, it is a bright willow." ”
