At the beginning of the winter of the third year of the Sui Dynasty (607 AD), the heavy snow for several days seemed to want to cover up the mourning everywhere.

Outside the main hall not far away, the contemporary head of Emei, Qinglian Shitai, looked at the figure not far away and said: "Do you say that I am too strict with this child, among the disciples of the same age, her Emei swordsmanship has been perfected, some time ago I began to teach her the fist and palm of the door, do you know what the biggest feature of this child is? She can use a sword with both left and right hands, and she will use the fist, swordsmanship, and palm technique of the door in the enemy's moves, sometimes this kind of flexibility is incredible, but it can indeed break the enemy and win." ”

"Master, the tiger father has no dog girl, after all, she is the daughter of General Shi Wansui, and General Shi's halberd is also invincible in this dynasty, and the master is strict with her, but it is good. Qingli, who was standing beside Qinglian Shitai, brushed the snowflakes on her body.

Master Qinglian asked with a little regret, "Okay, have Gao Xi's family members settled down?" "Except for the little boy, the rest of the people have been escorted to Gao Xi's hometown. Referring to Gao Xi's family, Qingli's tone couldn't help but be firmer.

"I don't know what Gao Xi thinks, I have to send my youngest son to Zhangye County, but you should pay more attention outside, don't make any mess elsewhere, and tell me anything through the sect's unique communication method, although you are away all the year round, after all, you are still my apprentice, and you are also the senior sister of Qingyan and Lime, and Emei is your home. ”

"Yes, master, the apprentice is retiring, I hope the master takes care of his body!" Qingli said and disappeared outside the main hall.

Master Qinglian looked at the thin figure who was still working hard, and a trace of sourness appeared in her heart: ' Old man Gao, when you went to Xizhou with Yue Wang Yuwensheng to quell the Jihu rebellion, you saved me from the Jihu thief, and sent me to Emei, who was only six years old at the time, to hand over to my master, did you think about using your kindness to me, my affection for you, let me help you willingly for the rest of my life, when you were there, I trained a good guard for you, and now that you are gone, I have to train a good daughter-in-law for your son, do you say that I Qinglian should be willing to help you in this life? Anyway, if you go all the way, I will do my best to complete the things that you have told me. ’

Thinking of this, Master Qinglian shouted at the figure not far away, "Frost, come back for dinner." Shi Hanshuang heard the master shouting himself, and hurriedly responded and hurriedly ran to the main hall, came to the master, and only listened to the Qinglian master: "Let's go, go back to eat, tomorrow after the kung fu assessment of this door, the master will begin to teach you some poetry and book etiquette, and you can always use it when you go down the mountain in the future." ”

Hearing this, Shi Hanshuang exclaimed: "Master, are you planning to drive me down the mountain? Is it that the disciple has done something wrong? Surely the master will not let me go down the mountain, and the disciple is willing to serve the master on the mountain for the rest of his life." ”

Master Qinglian smiled and said: "Silly boy, the master will not drive you away, if my Emei disciple does not violate the taboo of the door rules, he will not be expelled from the master's door, but when you grow up in the future, you will have to go down the mountain to experience it if you are successful in learning and art, which is what the disciples of this sect have to experience." ”

Shi Hanshuang patted his chest and said, "I thought the master didn't want me anymore, master, the disciple will arrange the meal for you." After saying that, he ran towards the dining hall, looking at Shi Hanshuang's figure, and there was a trace of warmth in Mrs. Qinglian's eyes.

On the second day, the annual kung fu assessment of the Emei faction began, the heavy snow had stopped last night, and the early morning sun reflected in the martial arts arena.

Qinglian Shitai stood in front of the main hall dressed in white Shengxue, holding a blue sword in his hand, looked at the disciples under the steps and said: "Today is the annual martial arts assessment of Emei, it is said that the assessment is really to test whether everyone is really practicing hard this year, the winner of this year's assessment, I will accept her as a disciple, especially pay attention to the assessment is not a fight in the rivers and lakes, just point to the end, if someone takes advantage of the assessment to retaliate, wantonly hurt people, once found, immediately expelled from the division!" When he said the end, Master Qinglian raised his voice too abruptly.

Everyone responded in unison, and then Qingyan, the second disciple beside Master Qinglian, shouted loudly: "The assessment has begun, and the first group of Liu Xinran and Yan Ruoyu have started the assessment. ”

Immediately, two girls of the same age as Shi Hanshuang came to the center of the martial arts arena, holding wooden swords specially made for the assessment and began to compete, and after a while, one of them was defeated, and the winning one stood in the waiting area on the left side of the martial arts arena, and then the second group began to compete again.

At this time, Shi Hanshuang stood under the field, stomping his feet while carefully observing the moves and styles of the senior sisters, and he couldn't stop gesturing in his hands, as the people on the martial arts field came and went, the third disciple Lime who was in charge of recording kept recording with a booklet in his hand.

After the three groups of competitions, Qingyan glanced at Shi Hanshuang and said, "The fourth group, Shi Hanshuang and Xiao Xuanyu, will start the assessment. ”

As soon as Shi Hanshuang heard his name called, he crossed the crowd and came to the center of the martial arts arena with an arrow, and hugged his fists at Xiao Xuanyu in front of him and said, "Senior sister, please advise." ”

Then he stood with his legs on his feet, facing the enemy sideways, with his right leg in front and his sword in his right hand. The forearm holding the sword sinks slightly bent and sunk, about waist level. The tip of the sword pointed slightly upwards at the opponent's throat, and the left hand was naturally slightly bent upwards at the back, posing in a high-posture sword holding pose, and said to Xiao Xuanyu: "Senior sister, please!"

At this time, a gust of wind blew in the center of the martial arts arena, and Xiao Xuanyu also moved with the wind, only to see a flick under her feet, and a lunge stabbed straight at Shi Hanshuang's chest, Shi Hanshuang saw that a jade girl withdrew, and quickly retreated side by side, the wooden sword in his hand quickly pointed towards Xiao Xuanyu's wrist, Xiao Xuanyu made a move to dust away Shi Hanshuang's sword tip, and retreated backwards with both feet, and then tied up the horse and walked sideways to face the enemy, and the tip of the sword also pointed slightly at the opponent's throat, posing a low-posture sword holding pose.

Seeing this, Shi Hanshuang also flicked her feet, and hurriedly ran to Xiao Xuanyu, while she was about to stab the sword, she also used a move to chase the soul of Yue Nu, and the sword in her hand quickly pointed to Xiao Xuanyu's right hand, Xiao Xuanyu saw this, and hurriedly withdrew the sword, Shi Hanshuang smiled playfully, a spirit snake spit out the letter, and continued to point towards Xiao Xuanyu's right hand, and at the same time sacrificed the Emei boxing method in the oblique insertion of a plum footwork, the back foot took a step towards Xiao Xuanyu's right oblique, and at the same time quickly abandoned the sword to change the move, the two arms bent the elbows to the chest, the two palms were close to each other, the palms were facing upward, and Xiao Xuanyu's jaw was sharply pushed, the right leg was bent and raised to the front of him, and the left leg was hooked on the toes, and he kicked forward violently, a move to hide flowers at the bottom of the leaves kicked Xiao Xuanyu away.

Immediately his left foot landed on the ground and gently picked up the wooden sword on the ground, kicked his right leg violently, and while holding the sword, he hurried to Xiao Xuanyu, and the tip of the sword pointed at Xiao Xuanyu's throat and said, "Senior sister, I agreed." Then he turned away with a fist clenched, and walked towards the crowd.

At this time, Qingyan shouted: "The winner of the fourth group, Shi Hanshuang! Later, the winners of the first and third groups will compete, and the winners of the second and fourth groups will compete, waiting for the two groups to complete the competition, and the winners will conduct the final competition, and the final winner will be the master's disciple." ”

Immediately, the two groups of people divided into two battle circles and began to compete, and after a while, Yan Ruoyu of the first group won first, and then stood aside to watch Shi Hanshuang compete with the other.

Qingyan looked at the winning Yan Ruoyu and said to Mrs. Qinglian: "This child usually works hard, but sometimes he is a little eager for quick success, master, you see that she just avoided the green into the red and received the Xizi to wash her face, and stabbed the opponent's face, buttocks, and chest too anxiously, causing the third stab to almost stab." ”

Qinglian Shitai looked at Yan Ruoyu and didn't make a sound, at this time Xiao Xuanyu stood beside Yan Ruoyu, while watching Shi Hanshuang's competition, she couldn't stop saying something to Yan Ruoyu, Yan Ruoyu just nodded, but she didn't look at Xiao Xuanyu, seeing this scene, Xiao Xuanyu slowly walked to the other side and watched the competition seriously.

Sensing that Xiao Xuanyu was walking away, Yan Ruoyu couldn't help muttering: "If you want me and Shi Hanshuang to fight to the death, am I really stupid?

Suddenly there was a burst of cheers on the field, and it turned out that Shi Hanshuang narrowly defeated the opponent with one move. Seeing that the second group also ended the competition, Qingyan said: "Yan Ruoyu and Shi Hanshuang, the two of you will rest for a while, and start the final competition in a quarter of an hour."

The two sat on the sidelines and waited, and at this time, Liu Xinran from the first group came to Shi Hanshuang and said: "Senior sister, you are so powerful, I haven't seen you for a year, your kung fu has improved a lot compared to before, it seems that you have worked hard this year." ”

Shi Hanshuang said with a smile: "Senior Sister Liu, don't make fun of me, you were a little anxious when you competed today, otherwise it would be me, and I wouldn't be your opponent." ”

Liu Xinran smiled when he heard this: "Senior sister, don't comfort senior sister, I still have a number of my own level, don't talk to you, let's get down to business, when I compete with her for a while, be careful when you say it rains, when I compete with her, I find that she is used to fast attacking, and sometimes the angle of the sword is very tricky, you must pay attention." ”

Hearing this, Shi Hanshuang stood up and hugged Liu Xinran and said, "Senior sister, don't worry, I have my own measure." ”

After saying that, it was just time, Shi Hanshuang jumped to the center of the martial arts arena in one step, and hugged his fist at Yan Ruoyu, who had already stood still: "Senior Sister Yan, please give me a lot of advice." Then he held the sword flower in his hand and posed in a high-posture sword holding pose, Yan Ruoyu also posed in the same starting pose, and snorted coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, look at the sword." Then with a flick of his wrist, he took a quick stride, and made a move Zizhu into the clouds, and the tip of the sword wiped out Shi Hanshuang's pharynx at a tricky angle.

Seeing this, Shi Hanshuang leaned back and retreated with his feet, and then made a move of Wen Ji's pen, quickly lifted his right foot and shrank forward, holding the sword in his right hand and picking it up, the right oblique collapse sword collapsed Yan Ruoyu's sword, and turned around and pointed to Yan Ruoyu's back pillow death point, Yan Ruoyu saw this and hurriedly blocked the sword in his hand to the back pillow, and with a move Su Qin's back sword to stand on Shi Hanshuang's sword tip, and at the same time his left hand turned into a palm and slapped it against Shi Hanshuang's chest.

Shi Hanshuang also hurriedly withdrew his sword and slapped her, the two of them were shocked and took a few steps back, at this time, Yan Ruoyu's right foot was on the ground, and he turned around and stabbed another purple bamboo into the forest, Shi Hanshuang also pointed to the ground with his right foot on the way back, and made a move swallow into the forest, and his right hand flicked Yan Ruoyu's sword edge inward, avoiding Yan Ruoyu's sword tip, and fell into a dead corner where she couldn't turn back, and at the same time took advantage of the situation to pick up the tip of the sword in her right hand, and put the two fingers of her left hand together, and quickly pointed at Yan Ruoyu's temple.

When the tip of the sword and the tips of his fingers were still an inch away, Shi Hanshuang suddenly retreated, clasped his fists with both hands and said to Yan Ruoyu: "Senior sister, I have conceded." ”

At this time, Yan Ruoyu was at a loss, and he never thought that his skills were inferior to others after all, and Qingyan, who was standing on the steps, announced loudly: "The competition is over, and the winner is frosty." ”

Master Qinglian stepped forward at this time and said in a deep voice to the disciples under the steps: "When you went up the mountain back then, Hanshuang was the youngest, and she was the slowest to learn martial arts, but she was willing to endure hardships, for seven years, every time I passed by the main hall at noon and night, I would see Hanshuang practicing hard in the martial arts arena. There are many martial arts in the world, and there is no kind of martial arts that has a shortcut, the only way is to practice diligently, continue to study, from today Shi Hanshuang will be my disciple, and the rest of you will double your homework from tomorrow! Hanshuang, you come up and follow me into the main hall. ”

Shi Hanshuang heard that he couldn't take care of the fatigue of the successive competitions, three steps and two steps jumped up the steps, as Qinglian Shitai entered the Emei Hall, entered the main hall and came to a side hall, Qinglian Shitai turned to Shi Hanshuang and said: "Hanshuang, from today onwards, you will temporarily live in this side hall, the opposite room is for the teacher, you practice martial arts or go to the martial arts field to practice, but then the teacher will start to teach you poetry and book etiquette, so you can only work hard to squeeze out time to practice martial arts." ”

Hearing this, Shi Hanshuang knelt down at Qinglian and bowed: "The frost was brought back to the mountain by the master, and everything is up to the master." Master Qinglian nodded approvingly and said, "Then let's study the book "Women's Training" first today, and come and sit next to me." Then he took out a book, sat down side by side with Shi Hanshuang and began to read......
