Chapter 1: Winter

In winter, Wolong City is draped in a snow-white coat, and ice picks are condensed on the eaves of the roof tiles, which melt into water and fall with the early morning sun. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

There are two or three pedestrians on the street, and the pedestrians are wrapped in thick cotton jackets, resisting the cold of winter, and their mouths are constantly humming white air.

South Street Entrance, inside the World Martial Arts Hall.

Qi Wulin was shirtless in winter, standing in the martial arts arena, holding two gold-ringed broadswords in both hands, slashing forward again and again, sweating like rain.

The muscles of his bare body bulged like a veteran's armor, covered with scars from the sharp blades of his sword.

One of the most shocking scars was along his left shoulder, all the way to his right abdomen, occupying the entire chest and abdomen.

Whew!Whew!

"One Thousand Nine Hundred and Ninety-Eight ......"

"One thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine ......"

"Two Thousand ......"

On the backs of the two gold-ringed broadswords in Qi Wulin's hands, there were rings of gold inlaid every three inches.

However, when he swung it, the golden ring on the back of the knife was tightly attached to the back of the knife, and it did not move at all, without making a strange sound.

Out of the knife and the ring does not sound.

To make this golden ring broadsword like this, only by practicing the sword technique to a certain extent can it be achieved to this point.

When Qi Wulin wielded the golden ring broadsword and slashed two thousand times, a light snow like raindrops suddenly fell in the sky.

Snowflakes fell on him, instantly evaporating into mist from his hot skin.

Click――

Almost at the same time, the door of the quiet room next to the martial arts arena was pushed open, and Liu An, whose eyes were red, walked out of the quiet room.

Qi Wulin couldn't help frowning, stopped his movements, and said loudly, "Senior brother, if you continue like this, you will go crazy." ”

"It's okay, if I don't work hard, the burden will be all on you, senior brother. Liu An shook his head, unimpressed.

"Alas......" Qi Wulin couldn't help but sigh.

The third junior brother's hard work is simply numb, if he remembers correctly, this is the third day that he has not eaten, drank, slept and practiced hard.

Fortunately, the mental method he cultivates is the Tuna technique, which is different from his own child's skill, which is more upright and peaceful, so if you blindly cultivate fiercely, there may not be any mistakes.

If it weren't for that, with his hard practice, he would have gone mad a long time ago.

As soon as he thought of this, Qi Wulin immediately persuaded: "Senior brother, you go and sleep, if I remember correctly, I'm afraid I'm going to go out today." ”

"Hmm. Liu An nodded and walked to the backyard with a tired face.

Yu Qiu left in a hurry, and he had left Qi Wulin a superior knife technique "Wuji Knife Technique" to study, but he didn't leave anything for Liu An.

After all, before Yu Qiu went to find King Rui, he didn't expect that he would leave Wolong City and never return.

And after Yu Qiu left, the troubles in the World Martial Arts Hall continued one after another, and a few months ago, Yutu, Zhu Bajie and others brought news of Yu Qiu.

After Gong Caiyun got the news again, he hurriedly left the museum with Yue'er to find Yu Qiu's traces, but he has not returned.

As a result, the entire martial arts hall was pressed on Qi Wulin and Liu An.

In desperation, Liu An had to blindly practice his mental method, eager to improve his martial arts realm, so as to share some pressure for Qi Wulin.

It was not until noon that Qi Wulin finished practicing.

The winter sky is cloudy and a little gloomy, but today there is sunlight shining through the gaps in the clouds, which is quite like pulling out the clouds and seeing the sun.

In the backyard, Grandma Qi is sweeping snow in the courtyard with a broom.

Yutu led the two youngest children, Ma Lu and Zhu Bajie, to cook lunch in front of the makeshift stove in the corner of the courtyard.

Mi Shaorat and Feng Conghu were boiling snow water on the side, and then took the hot snow water to the side and poured it to Liuli who was doing laundry.

"Let's eat. Yutu greeted, looked at Zhu Bajie and ordered, "Go, call the senior brother and the third senior brother to come over for dinner." ”

"Okay!" the little fat man nodded, and ran to the front yard.

After a while, he led the sweaty Qi Wulin back, turned his head, and rushed into the room to call Liu An.

"Bring water. Qi Wulin walked over to Mi Shao Mouse and stretched out his hand.

"Senior brother, the freshly boiled water is very hot. Mi Shaorat said this, and obediently handed the kettle to Qi Wulin in his hand.

Qi Wulin took the kettle and poured it directly on himself.

The hot water slanted down the spout and landed on his skin, creating a white mist as it communicated with the cold air.

His Vajra Incorruptible Body Divine Skill has now been practiced to the second level, so he naturally will not be afraid of this little boiling snow water.

"Whew!" Qi Wulin let out a long breath, and his fatigue was swept away.

On the other side, Liu Anzheng walked out of the room sleepily, watched Qi Wulin's movements, and shouted, "Senior brother, leave me some." ”

"Hmm. ”

After a busy period of work, the steaming meals were served on the log table in the middle of the courtyard, and Qi Wulin took the lead in taking a seat.

Nine people are gathered around a wooden table, which seems a little compact, but they can only make do with it for now.

"Let's eat. Qi Wulin gave an order, and everyone dared to move the chopsticks.

Soldier Pong -

There was only the sound of dishes and chopsticks on the dinner table, Zhu Bajie was a little anxious to eat, and there was a smacking sound in his mouth, Yutu listened to it, and unceremoniously knocked on his head with chopsticks.

"Oops!" Zhu Bajie snorted bitterly and said busily: "Don't fight! Sister Yutu, I was wrong." ”

Zhu Bajie looked panicked, with food in his mouth, his appearance was funny, and he caused a burst of laughter.

"Wulin, you're going out today, right?" At this time, Liuli next to him suddenly asked.

Qi Wulin, who was picking up vegetables, made a move in his hand and said with a smile: "Yes, Sister Liuli, I am going to go out with my junior brother to buy some things for the winter, and by the way, I will have some food." ”

"Why, hasn't someone from the yamen always sent it?"

"Naturally, there is, but my brother and I have to go out to do some other things. Liu An interjected at this time, and ordered the dish with chopsticks: "Let's eat first." ”

"Hmm. Jade Rabbit's face became a little ugly.

And here, Liuli suddenly put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand, stared at a pair of godless eyes, and groped her way back to the room.

After a while, she came out with a guqin in her arms, touched the corner of the wall, sat up cross-legged under the eaves, and put the guqin across her lap.

"Wow~"

A crisp piano sounded, and then, like a pearl falling on a jade plate, a heart-warming tune was played.

In this way, under the sound of the glazed piano, Qi Wulin and Liu An sped up to finish their lunch, and then returned to the room, got ready, and after getting dressed, they were about to go out.

"Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother!"

Pushing open the door, before Qi Wulin and Liu An were about to go out, Yutu suddenly ran over and reached out to hand over a handkerchief.

"There's a gold sore medicine I've recently brewed here, so bring it with you. ”

β€œ...... Well. Qi Wulin hesitated, then reached out and took the handkerchief.

The next moment, the Jade Rabbit suddenly pounced, hugged Qi Wulin tightly, and buried his whole face in Qi Wulin's waist.

This time it can be said that he was caught off guard, Qi Wulin stopped in mid-air with his hands awkwardly, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Senior brother, third senior brother...... We'll wait for you to come back at home!" Yutu suddenly let go of him again, turned around and hugged Liu An again.

Then, she let go of her hand, didn't lift her head, and hurried back.

"Oh, this girl. Liu An looked at the back of Yutu going back, shook his head, and pretended to laugh easily: "It's like you want to live and die, isn't it just going out to buy something." ”

"Hmm. Qi Wulin nodded, and after looking around the martial arts hall, he walked out of the martial arts hall.

On the south street, there are two or three pedestrians, and it is very deserted.

Qi Wulin and Liu An walked one after the other, leaving a series of footprints on the white snow, and a cold wind blew, and the backs of the two looked a little depressed.

"Senior brother, I don't know what happened to Master and Senior Sister. ”

"Yes, it's been so long, and I haven't heard anything at all, I really miss Master...... If Master is here, it will be fine. ”

"It's snowing heavily, so let's go faster, hurry up and finish our shopping, and come back. ”

"Well, it's to be faster, so as not to worry about the junior sister and junior brother. ”

......

At the same time, outside the gate of Wolong City, a carriage was slowly coming from outside the official road.
