The thirty-fifth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty was in March. The eagle spreads its wings and wants to cross a thousand mountains. The earth is warm in spring, and the flowers are in full bloom.

In the hills of the southwest basin, among the ravines lies a vast lake. There are many outcrops of mountains in the water lake, forming islands in the lake, so it is called Qiandao Lake.

The vast lake is like a spread of silk, and from time to time wild ducks play and haunt. In the mountains, crowds of people live in pairs, some with hoes working in the fields, and some young men with long swords, dancing in the courtyard.

Qiandao Lake is not only a place name, in the martial arts, there is also a sect here, the people of the rivers and lakes call the Qiandao faction, or Qiandao Gate. In the early years of the first century, the Qiandao faction became famous, and it was even the first major faction in the rivers and lakes during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty.

Nowadays, although Qiandao does not hold the bull's ear of martial arts, when it comes to the rivers and lakes of Sichuan Province, the existence of the Qiandao faction is absolutely inseparable.

Of course, this is only limited to Sichuan Province, outside the province, then you can only sigh, it has fallen to the point that even second-rate sects are not counted.

The reason why the Qiandao faction cannot be compared with those great factions in the rivers and lakes that have been circulating for hundreds of years, such as Shaolin, Huashan, Shushan and other factions, has to start from the reason for their existence.

Shaolin, Huashan, Shushan and other factions are all because of the predecessors of the masters living alone in the mountains and forests, creating peerless martial arts, because of the popularity of the stunts passed down from generation to generation, slowly forming today's situation.

The Qiandao faction is different, the Qiandao faction was led by more than 100 remnants of the army after the defeat of General Zheng Shaoyun, the anti-Yuan righteous soldier in the late Southern Song Dynasty, hiding in Qiandao Lake, and slowly multiplying to this day. Therefore, the martial arts of the Thousand Islands Sect are quite complex, and there are many moves. The only things that can be used on the rivers and lakes are the internal strength system of Qiandao Electric Power and the chicken-ribbed martial arts of Qiandao Gong Dafa.

With the military expenses of General Zheng Shaoyun at the beginning, the Qiandao faction purchased the ownership of the land within a radius of hundreds of miles of Qiandao Lake, and then leased it to local farmers to cultivate, so as to make sufficient logistical preparations for the resurgence of Dongshan and the resistance to the Yuan again.

Later, Ming Taizu rose in Jiangnan with a cloth cloth and ruled the world. The Yuan court retreated to the desert, and the Qiandao faction no longer had national enmity and lost its original mission. But because the Kuril faction has a huge land wealth, it has been handed down. Since the initial military expenditure came from the people, in order to uphold loyalty, each generation of the Qiandao faction would strictly select about 300 young children from a radius of hundreds of miles to recruit them for training.

Some of these children are from Qiandaomen, and some are children from the local people. These children, separated from their families from an early age, are raised in indefinite groups. Learn literature first, then learn martial arts, and conduct assessments from time to time, so that those who stand out can have the opportunity to become the next generation of Qiandao masters.

Among them, there will be about one-tenth of the children, Qiandaomen will hide their backgrounds and rename them as key training objects. After the background is hidden, even the biological parents do not know who their children are, and only when they are excluded as candidates for the head of the door will they be made public.

Although children who hide their backgrounds are the key training objects, those children who know the names of their parents will also have the opportunity to become the master of the door if they make great contributions by chance.

Yunding Mountain, five miles southeast of Qiandao Lake, there is a manor, called Jinbao Garden, Zhang Yongjie has lived here since he was a child, and there are three people with him, yes, the four of them are from Qiandaomen. At the age of seventeen or eighteen, it was the prime of life.

There are hundreds of manors like Yunding Mountain Jinbao Garden, and there are hundreds of manors in the Qiandao Sect, and many manors are assigned to junior disciples to learn art. Among the disciples in Jinbao Garden, Zhang Yongjie is one of the disciples whose life experience has been destroyed, while his junior brother Zhou Shaokun is a real orphan.

To be precise, Zhou Shaokun was not born in Qiandao Lake, but an orphan rescued by Yang Tianqi, the master of these four disciples, on the way back from Guanzhong.

People are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be stabbed. Eight years ago, Yang Tianqi died at the hands of the ghost fox in the black ghost cave, and no one knew about Zhou Shaokun's family feud.

With the death of Yang Tianqi, the four disciples of Yunding Mountain Jinbaoyuan did not have the existence of the elder master. The master is an important source of martial arts inheritance in the Qiandao School, therefore, Zhang Yongjie and his friends lacked good training when they were young, and became a disciple who did not love his father and mother.

Since two years ago, the fourth junior brother Li Hongda was sent to Qiandong and has not returned, and there are only three people left in Jinbaoyuan, which seems even more lonely and lonely.

Zhang Yongjie, as the eldest brother, often took the second junior brother Zhou Shaokun and the third leaf to the moon baoer at the foot of the mountain to do farm work for his sister Li Xiuqin.

Since the death of her master, Li Xiuqin, her disciple is her son, and she often goes down the mountain to do farm work, so it is naturally incumbent on her.

And Li Xiuqin was born in a scholarly family, although she could not pass on martial arts to her disciples, but she had a very high level of education and often taught her disciples the Four Books and Five Classics.

There are more than 20 female disciples living in Moon Bao'er Yangliuyuan, and their master Wan Dong teaches swordsmanship every day, but in terms of culture, he can only rely on the teaching master of the Qiandao faction.

Therefore, people often feel that they have done the opposite. The boys in Jinbaoyuan don't practice martial arts well, but they play with ink, while the girls in Yangliuyuan compare with swords every day.

On this day, it was the day of Qiandaomen's vacation at the end of March, and Ye Feichi went home before dawn. Whenever they take a vacation, Zhang Yongjie, who doesn't know his background, and Zhou Shaokun, who has become an orphan, have nowhere to go, so they will definitely come to the teacher's wife Li Xiuqin.

Li Xiuqin is nearly forty years old and has an only son, but this only son was selected into Qiandaomen, and he hid his background, I don't know which manor he went to, and I don't know what his name is. Later, before he had time to give birth again, Yang Tianqi died.

The elders of Qiandaomen are all people from the rivers and lakes, and they have persuaded Li Xiuqin to find a family to remarry, but Li Xiuqin is deeply affected by feudal education, and the three from the four virtues have been engraved into the bones, so he has not remarried. There is only a grandmother in her sixties who usually accompanies her, surnamed Zhang, although she is a slave, but Li Xiuqin calls her Zhang's mother

The Yang family and Wanjia are not far apart, and Wan Dong's wife will occasionally come to the Yang family.

As soon as the day dawned, Zhang Yongjie and Zhou Shaokun went down the mountain to Moon Bao'er Yang's house, Zhang Yongjie pushed open the door, lay on the chair with a buttocks, and called: "Mother, I want to eat oil tea." Zhou Shaokun slowly sat on another chair and said, "I want to eat too." ”

Although they are teachers, Zhang Yongjie and Zhou Shaokun habitually call Li Xiuqin their mother, which is not quite in line with the rules of Qiandaomen, but it is not a formal occasion Li Xiuqin also likes them to be called like this.

Li Xiuqin came to the living room with a cup of purple teapot, took a sip of tea, and instructed Mama Zhang beside her: "Mother Zhang, the two young masters want to eat oil tea today, do you have it at home?"

Mama Zhang said: "Unfortunately, the fried loose seeds have been eaten. The two young masters can't eat today. ”

While talking, Li Xiuqin took a ring ruler and hit Zhang Yongjie, and said unclearly: "Pay attention to your sitting posture." She was reluctant to fight, just for show.

Zhang Yongjie knew that it didn't hurt, but he also sat up, took Li Xiuqin's hand and shook it: "Didn't you have it a few days ago? I was thinking about the oil tea you gave us last night." ”

Before the words fell, I heard a rapid bell in the mountains, coming from all directions, one after another. Li Xiuqin frowned and said: "Qiandao hasn't sent such a message for a long time, I don't know what happened this time." ”

Zhang Yongjie said in a bad heart, this bell is a warning, indicating that there is an enemy coming to sneak attack, and he said to Zhou Shaokun at the moment: "You stay, the camera acts, and protect the master." I'll go out and have a look. "Walk out the door and look around.

Moon Bao'er Yangliuyuan is running out of two fast horses, Zhang Yongjie fixed his eyes, the first person is Uncle Wandong, Zhang Yongjie is about to ask, but Wan Dong is in a hurry, and he has gone far without stopping. Zhang Yongjie was unhappy for a while, thinking in his heart that this Uncle Wandong actually regarded himself as air, and would never help him do farm work in the future.

The latter fast horse is Li Xiaohuan's younger sister, who is known as one of the three treasures of the Thousand Islands. Li Xiaohuan is among the disciples of the younger generation of Qiandao, and his martial arts are extremely high and his reputation is very loud. Zhang Yongjie saw Li Xiaohuan's horse slow down, and stretched out his hand, immediately understood what he meant, turned over and got on the horse, and sat behind Li Xiaohuan. I was very satisfied, after all, this junior sister still has her own senior brother in her eyes, and she will have to be promoted more in the future. Although her martial arts are far from good, she is half a year older than this junior sister, and her life experience is richer than her? Well, this junior sister Xiaohuan has extremely high martial arts, so it's best to think of a way to move her to pass on a few kung fu skills.

Fast horses galloped, along the mountain bay, all the way to the lakeside pavilion ferry. A few fast horses have been parked here, Li Xiaohuan and Zhang Yongjie hurriedly jumped into a small boat, picked up the penny, Li Xiaohuan said: "Go in the direction of Huxinyu." ”

Zhang Yongjie started the boat and advanced a few feet, when suddenly two fast horses came behind him, and immediately the two shouted: "Senior brother, junior sister, wait a minute." Then he saw two young men turn over and dismount, tread water and jump into the boat.

There are many disciples in Qiandao, and they are scattered everywhere, so they don't necessarily know each other. Li Xiaohuan turned around and saw that the two disciples were very old, and the only ones who wanted to go to Huxin Island from the Lakeside Pavilion Ferry were the disciples of Yunding Mountain, Moon Bao'er and Mucheng Village. The disciples of Uncle Shen Yugang in Mucheng Village also knew a lot about themselves, but they had never seen these two.

Li Xiaohuan shouted: "The two senior brothers are careful, the yin energy is coming." As he spoke, he slapped his palm at the two disciples. If these two were also disciples of the Thousand Island Sect, and they heard Li Xiaohuan's prompt, then they should use their yang energy to resolve it.

The internal strength of the Thousand Island Sect is extremely unique, called "Thousand Island Electric Strength", which is divided into two forces, Yin and Yang, and a separate strength, and the person in the palm is like a thunderbolt strike. Although Qiandao Electric Power cannot stand alone in the world, it can naturally disappear or even rebound when encountering people with profound internal skills. But it is true that the unique internal strength system on the rivers and lakes is impossible for outsiders to use unless they are disciples of Qiandao. Therefore, Li Xiaohuan's move is a tentative move.

The first person stretched out one palm and touched it. Suddenly, his brows tightened, and he almost couldn't parry, but a person behind him hurriedly used his strength to transport his strength into the body of the first person.

The boat was already narrow, and the three of them suddenly moved, Zhang Yongjie was on the side, and he was unsteady on his feet, and he fell into the lake. Fortunately, he was still in good water, grabbed the hull of the boat, and slowly climbed up again. I felt very unhappy in my heart, thinking that I was also the senior brother of Yunding Mountain, and it was too embarrassing to fall into the water like this.

The two disciples laughed and said, "It is rumored that Senior Sister Li Xiaohuan of Yangliuyuan is already a leader in martial arts among the younger generation of disciples. ”

It turned out that although these two disciples were disciples of Shen Yugang in Mucheng Village, they had already been out of school for several years, and now they had married and had children and lived in Sanchahe Village. The first person was named Xi Jun, and the latter person was Xi Yong. Xi Jun saw Li Xiaohuan come out to test it, and at that moment Yang energy burst out in the dantian to fight, but unexpectedly, Li Xiaohuan was very strong, and he almost couldn't parry, so he had to ask the two brothers to go into battle together to be even, and to have such skills, it was naturally Li Xiaohuan in the rumors.

Li Xiaohuan saw that the two of them were born to fight against each other, so they were naturally disciples of Qiandao, and they exchanged names at the moment. The two brothers, Xi Jun and Xi Yong, supported the penny, started the boat, and rushed towards the island in the middle of the lake at great speed.

Zhang Yongjie accidentally fell into the lake and was soaked all over at this time. Although it was already spring, there was still a deep chill in the lake, and there were a few hits in a row. Seeing this, that Xi Jun immediately smiled and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, the weather is cold, be careful of the wind and cold." You hurry up and use the internal strength of Qiandao Electric to dry the clothes as well. ”

Zhang Yongjie felt embarrassed at the moment, since the death of his master Yang Tianqi, he has almost no foundation in martial arts, how can he dry his clothes at this time?

Fortunately, at this time, Li Xiaohuan took Zhang Yongjie's hand, urged the internal force, and the two forces came out together. Zhang Yongjie only felt bursts of heat coming from Li Xiaohuan's palm, and after a while, the soaked clothes were dried by Li Xiaohuan with internal force. Zhang Yongjie suddenly felt comfortable all over his body, and thought to himself that this little Huan junior sister was still sensible and likable.
