The next morning, after the muffled drum beat seven times in a row, Xia Yu woke up from the bed, and he hurriedly ran to the Tianshu Pavilion. After chatting with Xia Qian for a long time last night, my heart was a lot more relaxed, and I slept much heavier than usual.

He hurried into the Heavenly Book Pavilion, and was about to sit down only to find that his seat was gone, not only the table and chair he used to sit on, but also the rest of the seats that were originally vacant.

"Here. Xia Qian's voice came from behind.

Xia Yu turned around and saw that Xia Qian was sitting calmly on the floor at the back of the classroom. He patted the open space beside him and motioned for him to come and sit.

Xia Yu sat next to him hesitantly holding the book and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xia Qian replied: "It's been targeted." ”

He raised his face out the window. Xia Yu followed the line of sight, and the small bridge leading to the small pavilion in the lake outside the window was full of tables and chairs that were originally placed in the Tianshu Pavilion.

Someone did it on purpose, and it is conceivable who this person is.

Xia Qiong inadvertently turned her head to look at the two seatless, her face expressionless, but there was pity and contempt in her eyes. Xia Qian threw a big smile at him, showing a leisurely expression. Xia Qiong turned her head angrily.

Xia Yu: "You shouldn't mess with him, otherwise there won't be such trouble." ”

Xia Qian leaned towards him: "Who am I because of?" ”

Xia Yu bowed his head silently and was silent.

Xia Qian scratched his head helplessly when he saw this, Xia Yu is easy to lose and sensitive.

Xia Yu's class was soon over, and Xia Qian was six quarters of an hour longer than him. The usage time of the cultivation ground and the Ten Thousand Swords Tower also has a clear level limit like the Heavenly Book Pavilion. Therefore, Xia Yu could only hide in the valley and practice alone most of the time during the day, but now that there is an extra Xia Qian, it doesn't seem so lonely to practice together.

Xia Qian is a freshman, and although he has two more classes than Xia Yu, he still doesn't understand many things. He took the opportunity to ask Xia Yu for advice, and indirectly instilled what he had learned into Xia Yu. Xia Yu's newfound knowledge is also enjoyable.

Xia Qianchu was controlled by spiritual power, and the long rope knotting became more and more proficient, so that the rope became less and less, so Xia Qian went to other rooms in the firewood room to steal the firewood bundle rope, and every time the firewood in the room rolled down, he had to close the door.

But the effect is remarkable, Xia Qian's speed of using spiritual power to form knots is getting faster and faster, and there are few cracks that burst.

Five days later, Xia Qian was about to go to Wanjian Tower to find the master of Wanjian, but he happened to meet a demented old man who couldn't find his way on the bridge on the lake. Just like he did on the night he entered school.

Xia Qian approached, took out a long rope with a full hundred knots from his arms, and shook it into his sight. "Look, I'm done. ”

Who knows, Master Wanjian pushed away his obstructive hand without looking at it, and said in disgust: "Go away, go away, don't get in the way of me finding my way." ”

After Xia Qian was at a loss for a while, he suddenly understood that it was estimated that this Ten Thousand Swords Master had committed dementia again, and he didn't remember him. He tried to remind him and asked, "Master Ten Thousand Swords, do you still know me?"

Master Wanjian hurriedly waved his hand, "Go away, busy." ”

Xia Qian couldn't cry or laugh, stretched out a finger to carry spiritual power, and lightly touched the back of his hand. Master Wanjian's hand shook violently, looked at Xia Qian strangely, and asked, "How can you know my tricks?"

Xia Qian replied: "You taught me, and you also asked me to knot the rope." As he spoke, he shook the knot in his hand.

Master Wanjian frowned, turned his back to the sky, stroked his white beard, and said for a long time: "It seems to be a little impressive, what is your name?"

Xia Qian was just about to blurt out the word "Xia Solstice", when he suddenly thought that this Ten Thousand Swords Master was so forgetful and ignorant of the world, it was better to tell him his real name. Forget afterwards anyway.

"My name is Xia Qian. ”

When Master Ten Thousand Swords heard these two words, an imperceptible light flashed under his slender white eyebrows.

"Oh. ”

Master Ten Thousand Swords pulled the solid knot in his hand, nodded slightly, and then threw the long rope back to him. "It's not bad to have it in five days. But it's still far from it. ”

"What to do next. Xia Qian hurriedly asked.

Master Wanjian twisted his white eyebrows and pondered for a while, and said, "I can't teach you in vain. ”

When Xia Qian heard this, his face was entangled: "What do you want?"

Master Wanjian: "Apprentice!"

Xia Qian rolled his eyes and had a plan in his heart. Although this old man's dementia is quite serious, he has some ability. Besides, he had worked so hard for so many days, and he didn't want to give up halfway. He finally said, "Yes." ”

The two went to the lakeside pavilion, and hastily held an apprenticeship ceremony by taking advantage of the starlight of the summer night and the residual warmth in the teapot.

Xia Qian's first head was about to knock down, and Master Wanjian asked, "Don't you think about it carefully, are you sure you want to worship me as a teacher?"

Xia Qian: "Didn't you suggest?"

Master Wanjian twisted his long beard and asked rhetorically, "Is that it?"

Xia Qian didn't bother to refute.

The lake does not make waves, and the summer dry on the lake is not light or heavy. Maybe he was contemptuous at the beginning, but as this one knock fell, a sense of solemnity surged in his heart. Master Wanjian did not dislike the light tea, and drank it happily.

Anyway, Xia Qian kowtowed, and drank this teacher-respecting tea, and this master-apprentice relationship was concluded.

"Since you and I have become masters and apprentices, then the teacher will inform you of the first rule. ”

Xia Qian couldn't help but laugh when he saw that he was serious.

"You are not allowed to tell others about our mentorship. In front of others, we have to pretend that we don't know each other. ”

Xia Qian muttered quietly: "You seem to know me next time." ”

Master Wanjian's eyes pierced him like a sword: "I don't have a good memory, but my ears are still clear." ”

Xia Qianqiang smiled.

Master Wanjian waved his hand to make him stand up, and then said, "You just clicked on me, the power is okay, but the needle is not thin enough." ”

"What do you mean?" Xia Qian asked.

Master Wanjian: "You spread out your sleeves and try them on your sleeves." ”

Xia Qian did so, and poked his sleeve with his spiritual power, and immediately poked out a hole, and the hole was also burned black. Master Ten Thousand Swords also used that move, pointing his fingers, except for a very small eyelet, there was nothing else.

"With your current moves, if you don't hit with a single hit, you will be immediately discovered by others, so be on guard. ”

Xia Qianruo nodded as if he had something.

Master Wanjian instructed him to go back and find a white silk and continue to tie knots on the white silk. White silk is more delicate and flammable than upper hemp rope, and is more difficult to control, so you can practice sharpening needles.

He got the way to immediately bid farewell to Master Wanjian and turned to leave. Along the way, think about the way to sharpen the needle.

Suddenly, it was so dark that he couldn't see his five fingers, and he thought that the bright moon was covered by clouds, so he caused this. Unexpectedly, one after another, there were several fierce sticks, which hit him the chest and back. The last blow hit him in the back of the head, causing him to lose consciousness and pass out completely.

Then there is the fresh smell of the lake's water, which fills the nasal passages.

A very soft air flow rushed into the body, spreading from the fingertips to the limbs. Like a stream pouring into magma, instead of melting, it suppressed the oppressive heat.

This is the soft spirit, whose soft spirit is it. Wait, now that there is the power of the soft spirit, maybe the control of the spiritual power will be easier. He moved his fingertips, and a small piece of spiritual power gathered.

"Shhh The man touched his finger and shouted. He looked at the palm of the hand that had been touched, and found a small round hole.

Xia Qian suddenly opened his eyes, opened the palm of the man's hand, and was ecstatic to see the hole that was pierced by him. "I made it, I made it!"

"What did you succeed in?" the man withdrew.

Xia Qian saw his face clearly and said strangely: "Why are you here?" ”

Xia Lin replied, "If I hadn't been here, you would have drowned." ”

Xia Qian suddenly remembered that he was plotted against when he was walking on the lake path, and the stick wound on his body began to ache faintly again.

Xia Lin took out the plaster and touched the bruises on the corner of his mouth. "You must have been arrogant and upset them. ”

Xia Qian shrank and shrunk to avoid the stinging pain caused by the rubbing. His eyes were dark, and he thought that their target was only to embarrass him, but who knew that he was so ruthless, and he was going to kill him with such a heavy attack.

Suddenly, his eyes went dark. Xia Lin put his hand on his forehead.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

Xia Lin replied: "Your trick is broken, I'm going to give it to you again." ”

Xia Qian closed his eyes, and a spiritual power scraped from his forehead to his chin, as cool as lake water. He frowned, his eyes rolling twice in his sockets.

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, coming this way. Xia Qian hurriedly urged Xia Lin to hide. There are not many small sleeping facilities, but you can see it at a glance. Xia Lin had no choice but to cast a formation, only to see a formation soon appear under his feet. A ray of light shot out of the ground at the top of the formation, bypassing the threshold and extending behind the window outside the house. Xia Lin disappeared in an instant, and then appeared outside the window.

"Wow. Xia Qian was surprised.

Here, Xia Yu hurriedly ran in, and saw that his body was wet and not dry, and there were injuries in conspicuous places. He blamed himself: "I'm sorry, it's all because of me." ”

Xia Qian didn't know: "What do you mean?" ”

Xia Yu explained: "Actually, Xia Xiao and others stopped me just now, and they said that they wanted you to be punished instead of me. ”

Xia Qian repeated: "Punished?"

Xia Yu continued: "It was the same before the reorganization last season, I was knocked unconscious by them and thrown in the lake, and when I rested, the game was over. This time they don't want you to participate in the restructuring tournament. ”

Xia Qian didn't laugh angrily: "Is my strength already strong enough for them to be afraid of?"

Xia Yu shook his head straight, his face was extremely solemn, as if he was telling about life and death: "If you don't participate in the reorganization competition, you will be automatically ranked at the end." They want to bully you and abuse you as a matter of course. ”

Xia Qian couldn't help but swallow and spit, if it weren't for Xia Lin, he would probably still be floating on the surface of the lake at this time.

"So. Xia Yu shook his cold hand. "Gotta win!"

Xia Qian bent the corners of his mouth that were still sore: "Of course, for that bet, I will definitely win." ”

He glanced out the window, and Xia Lin had disappeared into the darkness.
