Li Chunzheng straightened his face, hated that iron could not become steel, and shouted: "Why are you standing at the door stupidly?

Hou Jin came back to his senses and laughed before entering the room. Ying'er also turned her head and saw Hou Jin, she couldn't help lowering her little head, making a shy appearance, her heart was pounding, as thin as a mosquito and greeted Hou Jin: "Senior Brother Hou Jin, hello!"

Seeing Ying'er again, Hou Jin was also very happy, forgetting about oversleeping today and being scolded by the master, smiled slightly, and said softly: "Ying'er, hello, let's meet again." ”

Hearing Hou Jin's response, Ying'er became even more shy now, and her face turned red. These were all seen by Li Chunzheng, and he said in his heart: "Looking at the girl's demeanor, it seems that she has a good impression of Jin'er, and it seems that Jin'er is the same." One is young and beautiful, the other is handsome and talented, and the talented woman is a very good match. If the two of them are interested, I, as a master, can make a match, but I don't know if Senior Brother Tu is willing to cut love? Find a time to explore the three of them. Then he thought again: "Jin'er is now the golden age of learning art, and it would be a pity if it was delayed by the personal feelings of his children." Forget it, my senior brother and I are old, and it will be the world of these young people in the future, so it depends on their own fate. I won't mix it up, old man. ”

However, Hou Jin was suspicious, and said in his heart: "Why did this Ying'er girl come to the master early in the morning? ”

Li Chunzheng snorted: "Jin'er, why did you get up so late as soon as possible? I want to be lazy and slack off on my homework?"

If Li Chunzheng knew that Hou Jin was always thinking about girls last night, like he had lovesickness, and he had a spring dream all night, and he overslept because of this incident, I am afraid that he will not be angry, and he will inevitably have a quit time. Hou Jin didn't know how to answer, and said, "Master, I ......"

Before Hou Jin could say that he was ugly, Li Chunzheng waved his hand and said impatiently: "Okay, okay." That's it, what else can you achieve? But the martial arts conference is approaching, and the old man doesn't care about your affairs today. But although the death penalty is avoided, the living crime is unforgivable! The punishment still has to be punished, so you will be punished for running 50 laps around the martial arts hall, and you are not allowed to be lazy, and then you will write the Qinglian Sword Song Mind Method 50 times. ”

"Ah, master, this ......" Hou Jin was stunned when he heard this, this master is really ruthless.

Li Chunzheng shouted: "What, what, what, the stinky boy still dares to bargain?"

Hou Jin hurriedly bowed his hand, his face became bitter melon, and said: "The master is serious, and the apprentice doesn't dare." ”

Li Chunzheng snorted: "You don't dare!"

When Ying'er saw Hou Jin eating deflated, she held back a smile and blushed. I couldn't help it, so I pursed my lips and laughed. As playful as you can be, Hou Jin was stunned, and forgot the master's reprimand for a while. Waiting for Ying'er to laugh a few times, out of the corner of her eye, she found that Hou Jin was staring at herself again, so she quickly put away her smiling face and lowered her little head, very embarrassed.

Li Chunzheng saw that Hou Jin was stunned again, and snorted coldly: "Bad apprentice, is there still a master in your eyes?"

Hou Jin shuddered and said, "What did the master say? Of course, Hou Jin respected the master. ”

Li Chunzheng said: "Dulicitous. Forget it, I don't know you like a stinky boy. Recently, some unbearable rumors have spread to the teacher, saying that you are not innocent with the female dolls in Qingluan Palace, but is there such a thing?"

Hou Jin hurriedly defended: "There is no such thing. This is just a fabrication by ill-intentioned people. ”

Li Chunzheng said: "As a teacher, I naturally believe in you." However, as a teacher, I also have to remind you of the purpose of letting you go to Qingluan Hall often. If you let the teacher know that you really did something out of the ordinary, the teacher will never spare you. ”

Hou Jin hurriedly said: "The master's teachings will never be forgotten." The apprentice went to the Qingluan Hall in order to learn martial arts with the disciples of the Qingluan Palace, and he never dared to have the slightest thought, let alone do anything to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, and heaven and earth could witness it for the disciples. ”

Li Chunzheng nodded slightly, his expression softened slightly, and said, "That's the best." Your Uncle Xia sat down and sat down with the eldest disciple Hui'er, who is also a good talent in martial arts, and his cultivation is now comparable to the peak of second-rate masters in the rivers and lakes, and he is close to the first-class masters. It will definitely be good for you to let you discuss martial arts with her as a teacher. ”

Hou Jin said: "Senior Sister Hui'er is indeed a genius, and Hou Jin is inferior. ”

Li Chunzheng smiled: "Well, yes, it's also a good thing to know the gap between yourself and others." However, since we know it in our hearts, we should practice diligently and not relax in the slightest. In time, you will definitely be able to surpass that girl, or even surpass as a teacher, and your martial arts will reach the realm. For the sake of the teacher, the senior brother, the junior brother and the younger brother are also old, and it will be the world of you young people in the future. My Tianshan Sect still has to rely on you to pass it on. ”

Hou Jin hurriedly fell to the ground and said, "The master is serious. The master is in his prime, but where is he getting old? At the age of 80, the old general, who is 80 years old, can still eat three catties of beef, a jar of wine, and two bowls of rice to lead the troops into battle. He is not old, not to mention that the master is much younger than Zhilian at that time, why is the master so old?"

When Li Chunzheng heard this, he looked up to the sky and laughed, laughing happily like a child, and said in his heart: "The old man really picked up a treasure." Jin'er is so able to speak well, and in a few words, he can make the old man smile. It's so cute, no wonder the female dolls in Qingluan Hall are so close to Jin'er, and it is not in vain that the old man loves him. He stroked the slightly silver goat's whiskers on his chin, looked at Hou Jin with a loving face, and said, "It's rare to have a filial piety and know how to make the teacher happy." Having said that, but the fact is that this Tianshan faction will belong to your generation sooner or later. It is very gratifying to see you so motivated. ”

Ying'er was also quite surprised: "On weekdays, Uncle Li always has a serious appearance, and it is rare to see him so happy, so he smiled as innocently as a child." It seems that Senior Brother Hou Jin is deeply loved by Uncle Li, I'm afraid that only Senior Brother Hou Jin can make Uncle Li happy, right?"

As soon as the conversation changed, Li Chunzheng put away his smile, returned to his usual seriousness, and said, "Okay, don't talk about that." Let's get down to business. The martial arts conference is approaching, you have to prepare well, strive to get a good result, and when the time comes, the teacher will teach you a new swordsmanship. These days, you have to work harder, practice harder, and don't slack off, you know?"

Hou Jin nodded and responded: "The apprentice understands, the master is relieved." ”

Li Chunzheng nodded with satisfaction, and said to Ying'er: "Girl, you go back to Senior Brother Tu first, Li Chunzheng then said." ”

Hearing this, Ying'er arched her hand and said, "Yes, uncle, Ying'er farewell!" After speaking, Ying'er got up, walked towards the door, walked to the door, and turned her head to Hou Jin and said, "Senior brother, goodbye!" and then left the Wenhua Hall without looking back.

Hou Jin smiled and hurriedly responded: "Ying'er, goodbye." Then he looked at Ying'er's back again and watched her leave.

Li Chunzheng coughed lightly and shouted: "Everyone has gone away, and they still don't want to receive the punishment? ”

Hou Jin smiled and responded, "Oh." Then he rushed towards the martial arts hall.

Li Chunzheng smiled slightly, and said to himself: "It seems that this kid is still a lover, but I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing?" I'd better go to Senior Brother Tu. A dodge, and in the blink of an eye, there was no figure, as if Li Chunzheng had never entered the room.

It is said that Hou Jin ran to the martial arts hall and accepted the punishment. Although there is no one to supervise, Hou Jin still does it, if he doesn't even have this bit of self-discipline and needs someone to supervise, then it is not Hou Jin. After running fifty laps, he instructed the sixth son to take the four treasures of the study and began to write the Qinglian Sword Song Heart Method formula.

The sixth son looked at Hou Jin and wrote with a scolding face. Although he didn't know how to read and couldn't read, he felt that Hou Jin's handwriting was very beautiful, and his eyes were full of envy.

"Sixth son, do you want to learn?" asked Hou Jin with a smile.

"Well, I want to learn!" Liuzi nodded like a chicken pecking rice, very eager to read and write.

"Okay, brother, teach you. Hou Jin said.

Hou Jin took out a three-character scripture from the bookcase, read a sentence by himself, and asked Liuzi to read a sentence: "At the beginning of man, nature is good...... If you don't teach, sex is migration. ”

Reading this, Liuzi couldn't help but be a little suspicious, and asked, "Brother Hou, why doesn't the dog bark?"

Hou Jin smiled slightly, and said softly: "This is not another dog." Ah, look at the ......" said, Hou Jin picked up the brush, wrote down two words: "dog" and "Gou", and taught Liuzi to write these two words, and at the same time, also explained the meaning of these two words to Liuzi, although the same sound, but different words, the meaning is very different. Not to mention, although the sixth son is not suitable for martial arts, he does have the talent of reading and literacy. At the beginning, what Hou Jin taught him seemed to understand or not, but after teaching a three-character scripture, this little brother actually learned it as soon as he could, and he could combine what he had learned before to associate with the latter and draw inferences from one another. After most of the day's work, I memorized a three-character scripture backwards. Subsequently, Hou Jin also assigned homework to the six sons: take out a copy of the Qinglian sword song that he silently came out of, and let the six sons copy it and practice the calligraphy. There are words he doesn't know, and Hou Jin will teach him again.

Time flies very quickly, and before you know it, the sun has set, and the day is almost over. The sixth son also went to the kitchen early to cook for Hou Jin and Li Chunzheng. In fact, at noon, Li Chunzheng returned to the Wenhua Hall from the Qingyu Palace, and when he passed by the door of Hou Jin's room, he took a look and found that Hou Jin was teaching the six sons to read and write, smiled slightly, and returned to his room, without making a sound, interrupting the interest of the two.

"Master, are you in the room?" Hou Jin stood outside Li Chunzheng's door, knocked lightly on the door, and called.

"Come in, come in. Li Chunzheng's voice came from the room.

"Master, this is the Qinglian Sword Song Heart Method mantra that I wrote silently, a total of fifty points, please check it. Hou Jin held a stack of papers in both hands and respectfully handed it to Li Chunzheng.

"No need, come in. To punish you for the teacher, it is not just for you to write the Qinglian Sword Song silently, but to remember that if you want to achieve something in martial arts, you must be diligent in practice, and you must not slack off for half a moment. You know what?"

"Yes, master, Jin'er understands. Jin'er must always remember the master's earnest teachings. ”

"Today, I went to the Qingyu Hall for my master to discuss the martial arts conference with your master and uncle. The results have already been reached, and it has been decided that the martial arts conference will be held in the morning in three days. In the past three days, Jin'er must practice diligently, or you can go to your Uncle Xia to learn from his disciples, if you have any doubts, you can also ask as a teacher, do you know?"

"Yes, master, the apprentice knows. ”

"Okay, it's getting late today, after dinner, rest early, get up early tomorrow, smell the chickens and dance, don't you have to say more for the teacher?" Li Chunzheng asked.

"Yes, master. The apprentice retired. Hou Jin said goodnight to Li Chunzheng, then withdrew from the room and returned to his room. As soon as he opened the door, Hou Jin smelled the aroma of rice, as well as a pot of wine, a stack of peanuts, and a few vegetables, which was Hou Jin's dinner. The six sons were prepared early and placed on Hou Jin's table, waiting for Hou to come in and eat.

The sixth son poured Hou Jin a glass of wine, and then retreated aside, like a servant, listening to Hou Jin's orders at any time. Although there used to be many servants in the family, there were also many maids and servants waiting for a meal. Now that his family is ruined, although he knows the enemy, he can't take revenge yet, Hou Jin feels hate when he thinks about it. He laughed at himself and said, "What do I think these are for? Three years have passed, and only half a year has passed." Besides, with my current martial arts, let alone revenge, even if I find the door, I'm afraid I will be torn apart by a knife. I haven't seen Uncle Fu for a long time, and I really miss him, and I don't know how he's doing now.

Turning his eyes, he saw Liuzi standing beside him, so he said, "Liuzi, why are you standing stupidly?

Liuzi said: "Brother Hou, I am specially serving you, and I dare not eat at the same table with you." When you're done eating, the six sons will go out to eat. ”

Hou Jin straightened his face and said, "Since you call me a big brother, then you are my younger brother." I don't need you to serve me to eat, let's sit down and eat together. ”

The sixth son still didn't move, but still stood beside Hou Jin and said, "Brother Hou, this is ...... Isn't that okay?"

Hou Jin pretended to be angry and drank: "If you are told to sit, you will sit, why are you still standing?"

Only then did the sixth son sit down. Although he sat down, he only held his butt on the corner of the chair, leaning forward, ready to get up at any time. After Hou Jin's repeated preaching, the sixth son really sat down, and he couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart: "Since my father and mother passed away, no one has ever been so good to me?" Thinking of this, tears couldn't help but flow down his cheeks.

Hou Jin comforted in a harmonious voice: "Silly boy, if you don't dislike it, you will treat me as my own brother in the future, and you will be my younger brother." ”

Liuzi cried and said: "I don't know how much coldness and bullying I have suffered, now Brother Hou is so good to Liuzi, willing to treat me as a brother, I can't ask for it?

Hou Jin smiled: "Well, that's right! Good brother, come, have a drink with my brother." After speaking, Hou Jin poured a glass of wine for the sixth son, raised his glasses, drank them all, and sighed one after another: "Good wine!"

But the sixth son was embarrassed, and the sixth son saw that Hou Jin took a sip and drained the wine in the cup, so he did the same, raised the wine glass, and wanted to drink it all, but as soon as the wine was entered, he frowned, and fanned the wind with his hand, and his eyes were full of tears again. But this time it wasn't crying, but it was spicy by the wine, and he said, "Big brother, why is this wine so spicy? It's so spicy, it's so spicy, it's so unpleasant! Why do you seem to be so happy?"

Hou Jin laughed and said loudly: "Haha, stupid Liuzi, you still don't know how to drink bars? You just learned to drink, but you didn't drink like this? What you don't understand now, wine is a good thing in the world, and the best delicacy in the world! Wine can cultivate people's sentiments, inspire people, and relieve a thousand sorrows when drunk." Later, when you grow up, you will understand. ”

Hearing Hou Jin say this, Liuzi nodded as if he didn't understand, it seemed that it might really be a good thing. So, I took another sip, but I still felt that it was too fishy and spicy and unpalatable. However, he still pinched his nose and drank the glass of wine slowly, which made Hou Jin laugh again.

After a meal, the six sons cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, brought hot water, and served Hou Jin to wash up, and then went to rest. This night, Liuzi slept the most peacefully, falling asleep with a smile on his face.

The next day, in the early morning, the sky had just revealed the white of the fish's belly, and the rooster had just crowed, so Hou Jin got up, washed up briefly, and after breakfast, he began his morning exercise. An hour later, Hou Jin packed up, and planned to go to Qingluan Palace, find Hui'er and Qingqing Girl to teach them martial arts, and by the way, inquire about the martial arts conference.

Just as Hou Jin passed through the square, suddenly, five disciples of the Tianshan Sect blocked the way and surrounded Hou Jin in the middle. I saw that the person in charge, stretched nine feet, taller than Hou Jin's head, strong and strong, but with a hint of yin owl on his dignified face, a trace of fierceness in his bright eyes, holding a folding fan in his hand, hanging a long sword at his waist, shaking his head, his neck creaking, quite a sense of arrogance, domineering, ordinary people will be afraid of three points when they see it. But Hou Jin is also from a big family, three religions and nine streams, what kind of people have never seen it, so naturally he doesn't care about these five people. However, looking at the breath of the five people, and the steady pace, the martial arts are definitely not bad, Hou Jin can't help but feel jealous in his heart: "These five people are not easy to deal with, especially the person who is the leader, the martial arts should be much higher than me, and the other four, if you are one-on-one, I can still be invincible." If I fight these four people at the same time, let alone attack, I'm afraid I won't even have the strength to parry, right? Looking at the posture of the five, absolutely ill-intentioned?"

Just as Hou Jin was thinking about what to do, the person who was the leader took the lead in speaking in a weird manner: "This must be Senior Uncle Li Chunzheng's disciple, or the only disciple, Hou Jin, Senior Brother Hou, right?"

Hou Jin had no choice but to bite the bullet and respond patiently: "Exactly." Dare to ask who this senior brother is?"

The leader did not speak, and rolled his eyes. The person beside him snorted coldly and replied, "I don't even know Senior Brother Duan Qingming of the Tianshan Sect, this little junior brother, are you afraid that you are staying in the Tianshan Sect for nothing?"

Hou Jin Hou Jin arched his hand and said: "This senior brother doesn't know, the master and his old man discipline me very strictly, I can only practice martial arts every day, and rarely go out of the Wenhua Palace, so I can't know Senior Brother Duan, I hope to forgive me." ”

Duan Qingming smiled and said, "Hou Jin, yes, I can't imagine a big man who is as handsome as a little lady." When she talks about it, she is like a little lady. It's better for Senior Brother to let you dress up in women's clothes, and pretend to be a beauty in Qiao, definitely a beauty, guys, say yes? Ahh

After the five of them finished laughing, Hou Jin said with a smile: "Senior Brother Duan is really good at telling jokes, Senior Brother Hou is an upright man, how can he be a little lady?

Duan Qingming applauded: "He is worthy of being a disciple of Uncle Li, he is so smart." Let's look for you, naturally there is something. ”

Hou Jin clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Dare to ask Senior Brother, what do you have to say?"

I only heard Duan Qingming say: "I heard that Senior Uncle Li Chunzheng has newly accepted a closed disciple, and he is the only disciple. Over the years, Uncle Li has never accepted an apprentice, but he doesn't want to accept such a handsome son. Presumably, Senior Brother Hou must have something extraordinary. Today, I happened to meet Senior Brother Hou, and I wanted to learn from Senior Brother Hou for my brother, so please don't hesitate to give advice. ”

Hou Jin said: "It's normal for fellow brothers to learn martial arts. It's just that Senior Brother Duan's name has long been heard of by the younger brother, but he hasn't seen him. I am fortunate to meet you today, and my little brother is very honored. Senior Brother Duan is strong in martial arts, the younger brother is only getting started, he is only shallow in learning, and he is definitely not an opponent of the senior brother, and he also asked the senior brother to give him a guide or two, and the younger brother is very grateful. ”

When Duan Qingming heard this, he laughed: "Yo, Senior Brother Hou's mouth is quite sweet, so good at coaxing people? Anyway, if you are a brother, you will not learn from you, lest people say that you are a brother who bullies the small and bullies the weak. So, how about you compare with these four, compare, how about it?"

Hou Jinxin said: "It seems that there is a real competition today, and it must be fought." Well, just train yourself. Then he responded: "Since the senior brother has this intention, how dare the junior brother not accept it?"

Duan Qingming said: "Okay, refreshing! This is like a gentleman." Liu An, you go to meet this little junior brother and point him out. But then he leaned close to Liu An's ear and asked: "Remember, start lightly, don't beat him too hard, after all, he still belongs to the same family, and he is still the apprentice of Li Chunzheng Li Chunzheng's uncle? ”

I saw that Liu An seemed to have a chance to win, and said nonchalantly: "Senior brother, you can put 10,000 hearts! Liu An's subordinates are measured." Then he faced Hou Jin, hugged his fists and said, "Senior Brother Hou, please!"

Hou Jin said politely: "Senior Brother Liu, you are respectful, how can the junior brother strike first and lose his manners?"

Liu An shouted: "In this case, Liu An will be offended!" After speaking, he pulled out his sword, raised it, and stabbed towards Hou Jin......

Some disciples of the Tianshan Sect saw that there seemed to be a martial arts competition here, so they gathered in groups to watch the excitement. Han people like to gather to watch the excitement, it turns out that there have been since ancient times. Some of them even saw that the excitement was not a big deal, and they even shouted and coaxed: "Fight, fight! Hurry up." "Haha!!aha!" "There's a good show!"......

At this time, a group of female disciples separated from the crowd, and the first pretty woman dodged, blocking Liu An's sword stabbing at Hou Jin with an unsheathed sword, and shouted: "Stop!"

Duan Qingming was stunned for a moment, fixed his eyes, laughed, his eyes were still staring at the delicate woman's surging breasts, swallowed his saliva, and said in his heart: "This girl is getting more and more delicate, and I really want to eat it in one bite." He said loudly: "Who should I be? It turned out to be Senior Sister Hui'er! After a period of time, Senior Sister Hui'er became more and more beautiful and moving. Why don't you have two glasses of wine with Brother Wei today?"

It turned out that the person who suddenly broke into the crowd was a group of female disciples of Qingluan Palace. Hui'er had breakfast, and originally wanted to perform martial arts in the martial arts hall, but the little girl hurriedly ran over and told Hui'er that Hou Jin met Duan Qingming and others and was blocked and surrounded by the road, and didn't forget to joke Hui'er: "Oh, sister, hurry up, otherwise your brother Hou Jin will be killed." Hui'er naturally wanted to enjoy a meal of chestnuts, so she didn't go into details. Hui'er was worried that Hou Jin would be bullied, so she brought a group of female disciples of Qingluan Hall to relieve the siege.

Hui'er said coldly: "Duan Qingming, you look around again, be careful that this girl digs up your pair of dog tricks." ”

Duan Qingming was still cheeky, and said with a smile: "Yo, why is Senior Sister Hui'er so fierce?

Hui'er said coldly: "This girl doesn't know what the hell you are up to. You are really shameless, dirty your name Qingming. Knowing that Senior Brother Hou has only been in my Tianshan Sect for half a year, and his martial arts are still lacking, you still shamelessly say that you don't want to bully the small with the big? It's really ridiculous! Since your Senior Brother Duan is so interested, why don't you come and compare with you?"

When Duan Qingming heard this, his face began to be gloomy, and he said in his heart: "Hui'er, this Nizi is strong in martial arts, and her cultivation is not below me, and she may even be stronger than me." For her, I feel that I can't bargain at all. So, instead of answering Hui'er's words, he continued to say to Hou Jin: "Senior Brother Hou Jin, you are a big man, you can't rely on women to protect you, right?

Hui'er couldn't hear it, this Qingming was against herself, and she couldn't have the upper hand, just like using the method of agitation to Hou Jin, so she didn't wait for Hou Jin to speak, and said first: "Duan Qingming, what kind of man are you, senior brother bullying junior brother, and you are embarrassed to say it." Let's go, junior brother, don't bother with this villain, let's go with my senior sister!" After speaking, he pulled up Hou Jin's sleeve and wanted to leave.

Hou Jin said to Hui'er: "Senior sister later." Hou Jin has something to say to this Senior Brother Duan. He let go of Hui'er's hand, looked at Duan Qingming, pretended to be stupid, and said, "Senior brother, it seems that today, junior brother can't ask you for advice." There is time another day, let's come back to the game, we are out of company!"

After speaking, Hou Jin took the initiative to take Hui'er's hand and walked away. Hui'er struggled slightly, but Hou Jin held it tightly and didn't let go, so she let her hold her hand, and she had an indescribable feeling in her heart, she felt very wonderful, and smiled.

Looking at Duan Qingming again, seeing Hui'er's hand being held by Hou Jin, Hui'er hasn't refused yet? Hui'er, who didn't even look at me, turned gloomy and said, "I thought Hui'er didn't understand the affairs of men and women? It turned out that she fell in love with this little white face." Hmph, the little white face is always a little white face, and he still relies on a girl to protect him? Sooner or later, the little white face will fall into my hands, and I will be ashamed of the snow today!" Then he shouted to the four attendants: "Let's go!" After speaking, the five of them left the square quickly.

The crowd who thought there was a good show to watch was not lively now, and they complained: "What is this?

"But no, I didn't expect our famous Senior Brother Duan Qingming to be afraid of a delicate woman?"

"Shhh, be quiet, be careful to be heard by Senior Brother Duan, there is your good fruit to eat. ”

"You're afraid of him, I'm not afraid of him Duan Qingming, what's the matter? Relying on the fact that he is the chief disciple of the head of the family, he usually shows off his might, so forget it, but I didn't expect to be afraid of a woman in the end. ”

"What do you know? That's not an ordinary woman, she is one of the seven sons of this sect, Xia Jiaoyun, the hall master of Qingluan Palace, sat down as the first disciple, I heard that the martial arts cultivation is still above Senior Brother Duan, do you say that Senior Brother Duan can take advantage of her?"

"That's right!"

......

Looking at the lively disciples, seeing that the protagonists were all gone, it didn't make sense to gather here again, so they dispersed in twos and threes......
