More than 100 households in the drinking spring village are actually clear at a glance. Behind the village is a tall and majestic hillside, and the flat meadow on the slope is the secret garden of Shiyu. With this meadow as the boundary, the slope is very small, and the trees on the slope have been basically cut down. Upwards, the slope is steep and still lush with a variety of trees.

There is a path that winds to the top of the slope, and the climb up the road is a bit rough, but it is worth it, and the beautiful scenery from the top of the mountain is rarely appreciated.

When you stand on the top of the mountain, you will find that there are still mountains all around, which are a continuous group of mountains, far away and you can't see the edge, as if they lead to the horizon.

Standing on the top of the mountain, enjoying the breeze, looking at the surrounding mountains crawling at the feet, the sun shines on the sunny side of each mountain, one bright and one dark, the scene is magnificent, as if you are on the top of the sky.

Shi Yu occasionally went to the top of the mountain to carry out activities, once, he took advantage of the early morning that had just faded into the night, the leaves were still stained with dew, the mist between the mountains had not yet dispersed, the rising sun sprinkled the powerless sunlight on the mist, and the colorful rainbow spanned the two mountains.

He watched this scene quietly, and there was an indescribable peace in his heart, this feeling was very wonderful, as if he was one with heaven and earth, and his body was infinitely comfortable. Slowly, slowly, he closed his eyes under this feeling, breathing evenly, breathing in and out rhythmically, and as time passed, his abdomen was also slightly hot, very warm.

I don't know how long it took, he felt that his body was getting hotter and hotter, and the heat was a little uncomfortable, he opened his eyes, the strong light was dazzling, he was busy blocking it with his hand, and slowly stretched out his hand, the sun was already high in the air, and under the strong sunlight, the sweat beads on his head dripped to the ground one by one.

Recalling the strange feeling just now, his body seemed to be asleep, but his mind was very awake, and this feeling of separation between body and spirit was the first time he had encountered it. It is unbelievable to say that time seems to have slowed down under the control of this feeling, and he feels that only a quarter of an hour has passed, and at this time the sun is already high in the sky, indicating that it is almost noon.

Later, Shi Yu deliberately went to the top of the mountain in the early morning to feel that wonderful feeling, but unfortunately he went to the top of the mountain several times and failed to come again, so he could only dispel this thought.

Eyes back to the village, the village is like a long dragon, lying at the foot of the mountain, from west to east, lined up horizontally in a long row, there is a long street paved with bluestone slabs in the village, across the village, the houses in the village are divided on both sides of this street, forming a long layout.

The completion of the village originated in the westernmost part, and then with the increase of population continued to develop to the east, the long street that ran through the village gradually became longer and longer, as the latecomers in the village, the Shi Yu family, Chen Chen's home of the master and apprentice was naturally arranged to the easternmost side, and the houses of the two families forgot each other across the street, very close.

There is a reason why the villages are arranged this way,

The full name of this big mountain behind the village is Qingquan Mountain, and the villagers are used to calling it the back mountain.

On the broad mountainside of the back mountain, there is a spring on a hot day, and spring water flows to the foot of the mountain every year.

Instead of waiting for the spring to flow away, they opened a channel where the spring had not yet flowed through the village, and brought the water to the village, and through this channel numerous small canals were made to bring the sweet spring water to every house.

As if that weren't enough, they came up with a way to tie up the knots of the bamboo poles, or to cut them apart and use them to draw water from the springs to wherever they needed it.

The water is sufficient, and some families have built small ponds in their yards.

After the spring water tinkled through the village, it gathered in several large canals, flowed into the neatly arranged farmland, and finally flowed out of the fields, ending its journey in the village.

Although the project is simple, the effect is huge, it makes the village exude vitality and vitality, and people have been carefully caring for it for hundreds of years.

The spring in the back mountain is regarded as the root of the village, and the name of the village is derived.

At the beginning of spring every year, some people will burn a pour of incense before sowing seeds in the ground, worship three times to the back mountain, ask the mountain god to bless the spring water from drying up, and then insert the incense at the foot of the mountain.

When he was seven or eight years old, Shi Yu's father Shi Zhenyun would joke every time he introduced his son: This kid is a monkey.

Shi Yu didn't like to hear this, because he felt that he was scolding himself, but he had to admit that he was indeed naughty, village

When he was a child, he was beaten by his father because he jumped on the roof of other people's houses, so that when Shi Zhenyun introduced Shi Yu to others, he inevitably imposed a sentence: This kid belongs to a monkey.

Shi Yu doesn't like to listen to this, because he thinks it's his own, but he has to admit that he is indeed naughty, but whenever there is a high danger, he has to climb up and jump down to try, and when he encounters a high one, he has to be brave to jump down. Even the roof of other people's houses he climbed up, so that every time he stepped on the tiles of other people's roofs, Shi Zhenyun came out to apologize to others.

When he finally got home, Shi Yu, who was scolded by his father, would always grin and say, "Dad, I'm actually practicing light exercises." "But there is always a punishment that is inevitable.

Later, Shi Yu slowly learned a lesson, no longer blatantly ran on the roof of other people's houses, and then later, slowly sensible, even if no one found out, he would not easily go up to the roof of other people's houses, because he felt that it was not polite to do so after all, and now, his light skills have been able to achieve the realm of stepping on the ground silently, even if he rushes from the roof of other people's houses, it is difficult for the people in the house to find.

The so-called silent stepping on the ground is not in vain, and the "ground" here does not refer to the ground paved with bluestone slabs, but to some high places such as roofs.

In the light work of the Shi family, the light work can be roughly divided into three realms, and stepping on the ground silently is only the first realm, and each weight is like being separated by mountains, rivers and seas.

In the next step, Shi Yu's goal is to step on the snow without a trace, which is a higher realm, and his father has not yet reached it, and the only one in the village who has reached it is Shi Yu's grandfather Shi Xin.

It is said that when Shi Yu's grandfather was young, he walked the rivers and lakes with his light skills, and the people in the rivers and lakes gave him the nickname - Flying on the Grass.

This is a very vivid title, his light skills have indeed reached the realm of flat ground like flying, to make people look flat like flying, there are two requirements, first, the footsteps should be light enough, at least to reach the realm of stepping on the snow without a trace, second, the pace should be fast enough, fast to the feet of the afterimage like a dream, these two points, without decades of skill is not reached.

There is also a realm called treading water and waves, at this time, the supreme realm in the light work of the family, but unfortunately, this is just a legend in the legend, no one has reached it at all, maybe someone has reached it, and no one has seen it.

Now, Shi Yu's grandfather has withdrawn from the rivers and lakes for decades, and he has been living in this drinking spring village for a long time, and he has long given up chasing the realm of treading water and waves, and pinned his hopes on Shi Yu's body.

Now he only has two hobbies, one is drinking, and the other is hunting, so he doesn't have to worry too much, as long as he has a pot of good wine by his side.

He sometimes goes to see his grandson practice, for him, the realm of treading water and waves is not an ethereal legend, he believes that as long as the skill is profound, he can reproduce the time family light skills, this supreme realm, and now he is old, martial arts continue to regress, it is impossible to reach the treading water and waves, but his grandson, Shi Yu, has been shown since he was a child, the supreme talent in martial arts, can be said to be a rare martial arts wizard in a hundred years, so he silently reproduced the glory of the Shi family's light skills, entrusted to Shi Yu.

In the rivers and lakes, light gong has been a very popular martial arts, up to the martial arts faction, down to the little thieves, will point to light gong, but if you talk about the most classical, the most authentic light gong, it must be the light gong of the Shi family, in the rivers and lakes, like the Shi family, who have only practiced one family martial arts for thousands of years, are very few, and they are also very low-key and mysterious.

For the people of these families, the martial arts they practice belong to the family heritage and must not be passed on, and there are always some people in the rivers and lakes who have ghosts in their hearts, always trying to get these martial arts masters, even if they destroy these families.

As a result, there are fewer and fewer such families, and among the martial arts people gathered in Yinquan Village, there are many descendants of such families, or rather, just survivors of the family.

In this village, the family relationship of the Shi family is very simple, and the people with the surname Shi only have the Shi family, which moved relatively late, and now it has been divided into three families.

The people with the surname Shi, from the oldest to the youngest, are Shi Yu's grandfather Shi Xin, Shi Yu's father Shi Zhenyun, Shi Yu's uncle Shi Zhenlin, and then Shi Yu, as well as the uncle's two children, Shi Qingsong and Shi Qingliu.

Shi Yu's grandfather and Shi Yu's father are all people with more refined appearance, and Shi Yu's uncle is different, he is a man with a big waist and a round waist, a pair of tiger arms are as thick as Shi Yu's thighs, and when he was young, because of his physique, he was bluntly said by Shi Xin: Son, you are not suitable for practicing light skills.

Later, he really stopped practicing light skills, and changed to boxing, and his body became stronger and stronger, and now he is as strong as a brute bull, revealing an invincible domineering spirit in his gestures.

Because of the large size and great strength, he also learned to be a blacksmith, and being a blacksmith has always been a very physically demanding job, every day he had to smoke the bellows to burn the black iron red, and then while it was hot, he carried a hammer of ten catties and hammered it repeatedly on the red-hot iron until the iron was hammered into the shape of a sword. It is a very physical and endurance job, but this is a small problem for Shi Zhenlin, the hammer he uses is even seven or eight catties heavier than the one used by others, otherwise, it is too light and does not take advantage of it.

When he learned to be a blacksmith, he moved his family to the middle of the village, no longer next to Shi Yu and them, and opened a blacksmith shop there and started a business.

"The central part of the village" is a special place in the village, where the houses are the most dense, and there are some small shops, which is regarded as a commercial street in the village, which provides a lot of convenience to the village.

The ironware made by Shi Zhenlin has gained a good reputation in the village, whether it is a farm tool or a long sword, he tries his best to do it perfectly.

On the second floor attic of Chen Chen's house, there was a mysterious room, where no one was allowed to enter except Chen Chen, which aroused Shi Yu's great curiosity, and while Chen Chen was not paying attention, Shi Yu sneaked in.

The room inside is clean and tidy, there are rows of spiritual seats above the main hall, all of which are Chen Chen's brothers, and there are several beautifully made swords hanging on the wall next to them, and the sheath of the sword is engraved with a majestic hammer logo, which is the unique sign of Shi Zhenlin, which shows that this is from Shi Zhenlin's hand.
