Time flies, and after four cold and summers, it is already the spring of the fifth year. Calculated carefully, Duanmu Kang is already an eighteen-year-old boy, and Ruan Shuipei is also sixteen years old, and both of them have grown a lot. During this period, life continued as usual every day, in addition to practicing internal skills, he also learned many other kung fu with his grandfather Huang Shang, Duanmu Kang would go to Lingyin Cave every day to study, but he had gained a lot of knowledge.

Gradually, the two also understood some things about men and women, in order to avoid suspicion, Duanmu Kang cleaned up another cave next to the Eight Immortals Cave and lived in it, both of them knew the reason in their hearts, but they didn't explain it. Therefore, when Duanmu Kang proposed to move out of the Eight Immortals Cave, Ruan Shuipei did not stay. Ruan Shuipei has already learned the cooking skills of Duanmu Kang, and a year ago, she took the initiative to ask Ying to contract the cooking. Huang Shang is still the same as five years ago, and he has not changed because of the passage of time, because he was already very old five years ago.

Not only has he grown taller, but Duanmu Kang's voice has changed, and in five years, the voice in his throat has gradually become rough, like an adult. And Ruan Shuipei's voice is getting better and better, from the previous naughty to the current gentleness. The two are getting closer and closer, but they can be distant. There is no cuddle and hug play five years ago, and now, the two of them treat each other politely and do not trespass.

This morning, Ruan Shuipei and Duanmu Kang took wolves and leopards to patrol the mountains as usual, and Ruan Shuipei said, "Brother Kang, how is your last internal practice?"

Duanmu Kang said: "Sister Ruan, this ninth and last article is very difficult, that 'see the emptiness, forget the emptiness, so that the vacuum.'" Dynamic and externalized, quiet and connotative, the party is not chaotic, and from then on, the true qi is mutual, and the divine power is first completed. 'Words, although grandpa has an explanation, I feel really powerless to connect, and I can't achieve the situation of 'true qi and mutual growth'!"

Huang Shang compares Duanmu Kang to Ruan Shuipei's "Brother Kang" every day, and after a long time, I can't remember when it started, but he has changed his name to "Brother Kang" in "Duanmu Brother". Duanmu Kang also changed his name to call Ruan Shuipei "Ruan Mei" instead of the previous "Shuipei" sister.

Ruan Shuipei smiled: "Don't worry, take your time, and when we patrol this half of the mountain, let's think about it together." ”

Duanmu Kang said "yes", and the two galloped away. Half a circle around the mountain, the two men stopped the animals to rest, and they sat on a boulder.

Duanmu Kang took out a piece of paper from his clothes and looked at it carefully. That piece of paper was Ruan Shuipei's internal mantra written to him, and with the growth of his knowledge, Duanmu Kang was able to memorize the mantra by heart, but he was still used to watching Ruan Shuipei practice the words written on the paper. After looking through it many times, it was obvious that the paper was a little wrinkled, but the handwriting on it was still clearly visible. It reads:

"Keep quiet, so that you open your eyes to find your body, and your real qi is soaring, so that you can get it. To be void and quiet, to be dedicated to softness and refinement, is to cleanse the mysteries, so that the gate of heaven is unified; Ren Governor is both through, yin and yang are inseparable from each other, it is to open and close the soul, and the qi of heaven and earth is nurtured inside and outside, concentrate on the heart, gather the qi in the body, so that the spirit is not separated, and the true qi can be achieved; those who are deep in the eyes are subtle; those who are far away are wonderful; between the subtleties, the true qi is also become. Seeing emptiness, forgetting emptiness, so that vacuum. Dynamic and externalized, quiet and connotative, the party is not chaotic, and from then on, the true qi is mutual, and the divine power is first completed. ”

Ruan Shuipei took the paper and said, "It's too wrinkled, I'll write it back to you later!"

Duanmu Kang smiled bitterly: "I've looked through it very carefully, but it's still crumpled!"

Ruan Shuipei took the paper and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll write a new one to you later." What do you see all this crumpled into?"

Duanmu Kang was very moved, but he couldn't say anything moving, and Ruan Shuipei had already gotten used to it. After a long time, Duanmu Kang said softly: "Sister Ruan, you go back to rest first, and I will walk around this half quickly, and I will come to you later." ”

Ruan Shuipei herself knows that in the past few years, she has gradually lost interest in taming beasts and playing, and just accompanied Duanmu Kang to patrol the mountains together, these livestock are more familiar with Duanmu Kang, and said at the moment: "Okay, I'll go prepare breakfast first, and after you finish the wind, you will go to Lingyin Cave to find grandpa to go to Wuxian Cave to eat together, and I'll serve it after I'm done." Ruan Shuipei rode the leopard back, and Duanmu Kang also got up and walked away with the livestock.

A few days later, Duanmu Kang took the snow wolf to patrol the mountain as usual, and he didn't travel for a long time, but he heard a wail, and Duanmu Kang heard it very clearly, it was the scream of the deer. Xin said: "This is spring, who is so bold that he dares to secretly go up the mountain to hunt!" He immediately instructed the livestock to stop and wait, and walked forward a few steps alone, and after five years of internal practice, his steps were already as light as flying. Soon he came to the sound of the wailing, and gently brushed the branches, and he saw a young man smiling at the deer lying on the ground, looking very proud. The deer was not dead from an arrow in the abdomen, but was still wailing. The young man drew a long sword from his waist and slashed at the deer's neck.

It's too late, it's too soon. Duanmu Kang immediately picked off a loose ball and threw it hard. Hearing the sound of the "bell", the young man's wrist ached, he let go of the hilt of the sword, and turned his head to look around, but he did not find where the loose ball was thrown from.

Immediately, he scolded: "That turtle son is so bold, don't want to die, dare to sneak attack the little master!" Duanmu Kang picked off a loose ball and threw it, "snap", the young man's ass was in pain, and he jumped up. He said loudly: "If there is a seed, come out! When I find you, I will have to skin you and cramp!"

The appearance of the young man holding his ass in pain made Duanmu Kang feel very funny, and at that moment, he picked two loose balls and threw one to beat the young man who was in pain. The next loose ball hit again, but unexpectedly, this loose ball was blocked by someone with a sword.

Duanmu Kang looked at it, the man was about forty years old, at this time, he was protecting the young man, squatting down to pick up a pine ball, and threw it in the direction of Duanmu Kang, Duanmu Kang was busy picking off a pine ball and throwing it, the two pine balls collided, and the "pop" broke into many small pieces. Duanmu Kang was also surprised, hitting the young man's ass with a loose ball, he couldn't use a single percent of his strength, and the one that hit the loose ball, he threw it with all his strength, but he didn't want to be shot down by that person.

In fact, the man was even more surprised, he was angry for the young man, and threw the loose ball with all his strength, but he was knocked to the ground halfway. At that moment, he seemed to think of something, and said with his fists clenched: "Senior Huang, the dog is rude, don't blame the seniors, please show up, the juniors have something important to tell you." ”

Duanmu Kang smiled secretly: "This person is so stupid, he actually treats me as a grandfather." At that moment, thinking about it, he pinched his throat with one hand, followed the way his grandfather spoke, and said, "You are so rude, what do you want to go up the mountain to hunt without my permission?"

The man said: "The younger generation really has something important to sue, and he has never paid homage, so don't blame the seniors." ”

Duanmu Kang continued: "Since you didn't go up to the mountain to hunt, what happened to the deer under your feet?"

The man looked at the dying deer at his feet and said, "The matter of the deer is all nonsense of the dogs. ”

"Who scarces your stinky money!" As soon as this voice came out, the three of them were shocked, it turned out that when he said this, Duanmu Kang forgot to pinch his throat and change his voice.

I saw that the man smiled coldly, said: "Pretend", hurriedly stepped forward, ran in the direction of the sound, pulled away the branch and reached out to grab it, seeing that the five fingers were like hooks, Duanmu Kang hurriedly raised his hand and pinched his wrist, just pulled and pulled, but both of them did not move at all, only swollen and red.

Duanmu Kang said angrily: "You let go!"

The man said, "You let it go first." Duanmu Kang gripped his hand tighter, and so did the man.

At this time, the young man who was spanked by Duanmu Kang with a pine ball came over and stabbed Duanmu Kang in the lower abdomen with a sword. Duanmu Kang saw the ferocity and hurriedly dodged. However, it was this flash that the true qi of the wrist dispersed, and the man suddenly turned into a palm, "snapped", and hit Duanmu Kang on the cheek, eating pain, his eyes showed an angry expression, and said: "Two hit me and one, do you want to be shameless?"

The man was a little embarrassed, and said, "Whose child are you, what did you do when you ran to the mountains?"

Duanmu Kang said angrily: "Master, I am originally from this mountain, but you, one old and one young, what are you doing here?"

The man was obviously a little angry, and said, "Okay, you little guy, you actually compare yourself to your grandfather in front of me, are you impatient?" The young man interjected: "Dad, don't talk nonsense with him, let me kill him, and see if he dares to hit me with a loose ball!"

The two were obviously father and son, and the man turned to the young man and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I heard that the person of this mountain has extremely high martial arts and a strange temper, so don't offend him easily." ”

The young man was obviously a little unconvinced, and asked, "No matter how high his kung fu is, can he still compare to his father?"

The man was silent, Duanmu Kang also smiled secretly, and said in his heart: "As far as your father and son are superficial, if you fight alone, and the victory or defeat against me is unknown, how can you think with grandpa." "I thought so in my heart, but I didn't say it in my mouth. Duanmu Kang let out a long howl, and the man asked, "I haven't hit you yet, what are you calling?"

Duanmu Kang smiled and didn't answer, and in a blink of an eye, he saw a group of wolves and wolves rushing over, and the leopard that led the way did not move, and the wolves scattered around, surrounding the three of them in the middle.

The man exclaimed, "Look at the good things you have done, what are you calling indiscriminately, and we will not be able to get out of the wolf and leopard here!" The young man also shouted in surprise, "Father, how is this wolf white? It is different from what I have seen before!" The man did not answer, but pointed at the wolves with both eyes, observing their movements.

Duanmu Kang was silent, and then the corners of his mouth moved slightly, making a "babbling" sound, and the wolf pack encircled tighter. The young man seemed to see a clue, and hurriedly shouted: "Dad, it's not right! How can this wolf pack follow that kid's most action!" The man looked back at Duanmu Kang, Duanmu Kang immediately stopped talking, and the wolves no longer moved forward.

The man said angrily: "Okay boy, it turns out that you raised this wolf pack? What, you want to murder my father and son?" Although he was angry, his tone of voice trembled, obviously afraid of the wolves in front of him.

Duanmu Kang said: "That's right, these wolves all listen to me, you two beat me one, it's really shameless, I didn't expect it, right? ”

The man said, "You let the wolves go back first, and we'll have a fair one-on-one duel!"

Duanmu Kang smiled: "What a fair duel, your forty-year-old strong man beats my teenage boy, don't you be ashamed? But let your son kowtow to Xiaohua first to make amends. ”

The young man said, "Who is Xiaohua? I don't know my father, why do you have to kowtow to make amends." ”

Duanmu Kang stretched out his finger and said, "The one next to you is Xiaohua, who was killed by your father and son." ”

The boy turned his head and smiled, "It's a little flower, and it can't speak, how do you know its name?"

Duanmu Kang said: "Every livestock here has a name, Xiaohua's name was given by my sister, gossip, are you willing to apologize to Xiaohua?"

The young man raised his hands and said, "It's not a good thing! Death is dead, it's a big deal to accompany you, what's the big deal?"

Duanmu Kang was furious, and secretly said in his heart: "Ruan Mei likes Xiaohua the most, and now that it is dead, she will definitely be sad and painful when she knows it." At that moment, the corners of the mouth "silked" a few times, and the two snow wolves listened to the call, grinding their teeth, and approaching the young man. The boy was frightened and cried to the ground, and said, "Daddy, daddy, save me." ”

When the man saw the snow wolf forcing his son, he hurriedly said: "Don't hurt my child, tell the wolf to stop, it's not bad for us to kowtow to Xiaohua to make amends?"

Duanmu Kang was waiting for this sentence, although the young man was extremely hateful, but Duanmu Kang had no intention of harming his life, and stopped the snow wolf at the moment. Sure enough, the man pulled the young man to kowtow to Lu'er to make amends.

Duanmu Kang continued: "You only apologize to Xiaohua, this is not enough, don't you see? Xiaohua is pregnant with a little deer cub, and it is estimated that she will give birth in two months." Then he said, "Well, after you apologize to the unborn deer cub, I will let the wolves go back." ”

The two had no choice but to do as they were told.

Duanmu Kang summoned the wolves back, and he stopped to ask the purpose of the two of them going up the mountain, but he didn't want to, but he saw that the man rushed forward, Duanmu Kang was caught off guard, and the man clicked on his dumb hole, Duanmu Kang scolded to open his mouth, his anxious eyes were bloodshot, but he was never speechless. The young man rode on Duanmu Kang and beat him indiscriminately, beating him with a blue nose and swollen face.

After venting for a while, the young man was also tired, and said, "Dad, we killed him, and no one knows if we take the body down the mountain and bury it." ”

The man shook his head and said, "No, you forgot that we are taking your cousin down the mountain this time? Her mother has promised her to you, and she will be your daughter-in-law in the future, and it is not good for you to kill people under her nose after all." Besides, although this man was in trouble with my father and son, he did not intend to harm the lives of our father and son. In this way, he hits you with a loose ball, and Dad chops off one of his hands for you to vent his anger. ”

The young man's behavior was indeed reckless, but his heart was still very meticulous, and he hurriedly said: "Dad, didn't you say that the owner of this mountain has a strange temper? It seems that there is something wrong with cutting off this man's hand here. ”

The man said, "What my son said is reasonable, so what do you say?"

The young man said: "My son thinks that my father will go to pick up my cousin down the mountain alone, and I will take this person down the mountain to kill him, and then bury the body, and wait for you to go down the mountain at the bottom of the mountain, and then go back together." ”

The man praised: "Sure enough, clever! But this time my son is too worried, for my father has already inquired clearly, the strange temper of the master of this mountain, does not allow others to go up the mountain at all, and now there is no other person on the mountain than him, who is your daughter-in-law who has not passed the door." "It turned out that four years ago, Ling Fangrui and Yin Jingping took Ruan Shuipei down the mountain to go to the Huanglong Gang, but they only used their internal strength to send a message to Grandma Ruan Bing to take Ruan Shuipei home, and they didn't see the rest of the Huanglong Gang, and Grandma Ruan Bing didn't tell others about Ling and Yin. Therefore, the father and son didn't know about Huang Shang's treatment of Duanmu Kang, thinking that there were only Huang Sheng and Ruan Shuipei on the mountain.

The father and son laughed. Duanmu Kang listened to their discussion, angry and anxious, angry that Ruan Shuipei's mother actually married her daughter to such a villain, and anxious that this young man wanted to kill him.

Duanmu Kang was sweating profusely and stood up suddenly, it turned out that at the critical moment, he actually used the true qi in his body to break through the acupoints. The father and son were also shocked, Duanmu Kang was about to scold, but unexpectedly, although the body could move, the blood circulation was not smooth at this time, and the dumb hole was not unlocked.

The man said, "I don't care who you are, I'll teach you a lesson for your family today." The father and son drew their knives and slashed at Duanmu Kang, seeing that this time they couldn't avoid it. Duanmu Kang hurriedly dodged, but his legs and feet were not too obedient.

"It's my child!" A voice came, Duanmu Kang was secretly happy in his heart, and said in his heart: "Grandpa is here." ”

With a "Zheng" sound, the long sword in the young man's hand fell to the ground, and although his father was still holding the long sword in his hand, he was still numb and unstable, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back. An old man jumped down from a pine tree and stood lightly on the ground, this person was Huang Shang.
