Chapter 1: Apprenticeship

Next Chapter

The east is white, the sky is still a little dim, a tall mansion in the east of Huayin County is already full of people, this courtyard is five before and after, hundreds of houses, pavilions and pavilions, the corridor is like a belt, the pink wall is surrounded by blue tiles, unevenly surrounded, and there is a garden behind the courtyard. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info looks magnificent, quiet and elegant, the top of the main entrance hangs a black gold silk nanmu plaque, on which the iron hook silver inscription "Li Fu" two big characters. Obviously, this family is not only rich, but also a scholarly family!

It was already early spring, although it was not cold, but it was a little cool, Qing Jin got up, finished washing, walked through the verandah, and walked to the back garden, along the way there were servants and girls to greet each other, Qing Jin nodded slightly, and it was okay. Although he is five years old, he is in sharp shape, although he is just pacing forward, but he is very imposing and static!

The pavilions and water pavilions in the garden are twists and turns, a flower and a tree, a water and a stone, all elegant and chic. A gust of wind whistled by, rolling up a lot of fallen leaves and mud, which made people feel a little chilly, but this boy didn't realize it at all, and was still pacing leisurely!

There is a small martial arts arena on the right side of the garden, only a few zhang square, which was specially opened up two years ago, but it is a pity that there are a few begonias!

Qing Jin walked to the martial arts arena, stood still for a while, slowly reconciled his internal breath, and in a moment he was full of energy, and the trace of sleepiness disappeared. I saw that he suddenly stood on one foot on the ground, and kicked the other foot towards the sky, and suddenly his body fell to the ground as if it were broken, and suddenly he landed on the ground with both hands, his elbows bent, and his body half-turned, and suddenly his head fell to the ground, and his hands were parted, and his legs were stretched out in a zigzag.

His movements were soothing, he did it extremely slowly, his body was as soft as a bone, and he bent at will, so he did eighteen movements in a row, without stopping, and then started again, three times, before he slowly got up and took a long breath, this set of "eighteen plates" soft skills, today is completed!

He walked slowly to a small pavilion near the left, where there were stone tables and stone benches, and a soft couch with pale cyan cushions on the couch.

Qing Jin sat cross-legged, five hearts to the sky, distracting thoughts one by one, he had no sorrow or joy in his heart, took a few breaths, straightened out the internal breath, the internal strength mantra appeared in his heart, guided the true qi, and operated according to the practice method of "holding Yuan Gong"!

"Holding Yuan Gong" is the inner strength of Huashan Yan, which is the authentic Xuanmen, which can reconcile the five elements, warm and nourish the internal organs, nourish the body and mind, and is the most peaceful. It's just that the cultivation is slow, and the cycle is gradual, and the accumulation is thick. At the beginning of martial arts, it is one of the most upper-level foundation building exercises!

When Qing Jin was three years old, Meng Yue Buqun taught this skill, and it has been more than two years, and he has been practicing hard every day for two years, and he faintly feels that the opportunity for a breakthrough is near!

Qingjin Yungong does not stop, and the true qi of the whole body is like a trickle, dense and dense, and it travels through the meridians along the method of holding the Yuan Gong and performing the exercises. Gradually, he reached the realm of forgetting things and me, and the true qi in his body spontaneously automated, swimming back and forth along the meridians, his heart was not alarmed, and the true qi was running endlessly over and over again, faster and faster, and gradually the whole body was constantly breathing and agitating, like a tidal wave washing all over the acupoints.

Suddenly, another true qi rose in the dantian, and the two true qi merged into one, running up and down Zhou's body. Qing Jin was enlightened in an instant, and the second layer of the mantra of "Holding Yuan Gong" flowed through his heart, and the true qi of his body suddenly changed, running along the route of the second layer, and rushing away the blocked meridians and acupoints one by one, along the meridians, over and over again, running endlessly.

Qing Jin only felt that there was a white expanse in front of him for a while, and then it was bright, and the liquid in his mouth was self-growing, and he was poached into his throat, full of sweetness!

He opened his eyes suddenly, a pair of eyes flashed brightly, at this moment he only felt light, his facial features were sharp, and he felt the flying flowers and fallen leaves around him!

Although he is a five-year-old child, he has a faint sense of dust at this moment!

Qingjin stood up, but the joy on his face couldn't be hidden. The breeze is blowing, Ren You's clothes are fluttering, and his heart is full of emotion, he has been in this world for five years, and today he has finally laid a foundation in martial arts! His thoughts are flying, thinking of the two-year appointment with Yue Buqun, it seems that he can go to Huashan to apprentice in the next few days!

......

Huashan Mountain in the west, Qinling Mountains in the south, Huangwei in the north, the world is dangerous, and the five mountains are the first!

A few days have passed in a hurry, and at this moment, in the Huashan Zhengqi Hall, after the Qingjin salute, he took a deep breath, calmed down, and followed Yue Buqun to the backyard Patriarch Hall!

Entering the hall, Qing Jin looked up, saw a plaque between the beams with the four big characters of "Qi Imperial Sword", the hall was solemnly arranged, there was a long sword hanging on the two walls, the scabbard was black, the sword spike was old, it was expected to be the sword of the predecessors of the Huashan faction, and I couldn't help but think: "The fist is out of Shaolin, the sword is out of Huashan, and it is true." Since I have this opportunity, I will definitely live up to this life!"

Yue Buqun knelt down in front of the incense case and kowtowed four heads, and prayed: "Disciple Yue Buqun, today Li Qingjin is included as a disciple, and I hope that the ancestors of the generations will be protected in the spirit of heaven, teach Qingjin to work hard to learn, clean and self-love, abide by the rules of the sect, and not let the reputation of the Huashan faction fall." Qing Jin listened, and knelt down respectfully.

Yue Buqun stood up and said: "Qingjin, if you enter my Huashan faction today, you must abide by the door rules, if you violate it, you will be punished according to the severity of the circumstances, and those who commit the most heinous crimes will not be pardoned immediately." This faction has been based on martial arts for hundreds of years, and although it can compete with other factions in martial arts, it is very insignificant to win or lose in a moment's strength. What really matters is that all the disciples of this sect cherish the reputation of the master, and you must remember this verse carefully. ”

Qing Jin said respectfully: "Yes, the disciple is fortunate to enter the door wall, and he must remember the master's teachings, and he will not embellish my reputation in Huashan!"

Yue Buqun bowed his head slightly and said, "Well......! Linghu Chong, recite the rules of this sect, so that Qingjin can know. ”

Ling Hu Chong said "yes" when he heard this, and said solemnly: "Senior Brother Li, listen to the precepts." The first precept of this sect is to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, and he does not respect the elders. The second precept is to bully the weak and hurt the innocent. Sanjie ** is lustful and molests women. The four precepts are jealous and cannibalistic. The five precepts are forgetting righteousness and stealing property. The six precepts are arrogant and offend their colleagues. Seven precepts are promiscuous bandits, colluding with demons and evil spirits. This is the Seven Precepts of Huashan, the disciples of this sect, follow them as one!"

Qingjin Zhengse said: "The junior brother remembers the teachings of the senior brother, and must strictly abide by the seven precepts of my Huashan, always obey them, and dare not violate them." ”

Yue Buqun smiled and said, "Okay, that's it." You are still young, and your sect does not have many rules and precepts like other sects. You just need to obey these seven precepts well, always remember that benevolence and righteousness come first, and be a righteous gentleman, and Master and Master will be very happy. ”

Qing Jin said respectfully: "Disciple remember!" and kowtowed to Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze, and saluted to Senior Brother Ling Hu Chong and Second Senior Brother Lao Denuo!"

Yue Buqun laughed, with a green shirt and a belt, shaking a folding fan in his right hand, his figure was chic, he paced back and forth a few steps, stroked the five strands of long beard under his chin and said: "Although this sect is sparsely populated, it is strict to accept disciples, you see that there are dozens of disciples in the door, but most of them practice in the outer gate, and they can enter our faction, and their qualifications are naturally not bad, but there are only two disciples under my sect so far, and you will be the third apprentice of the master in the future, and you will practice seriously in the future!"

Qing Jin knew that this was to tell him that the opportunity was not easy to come by, and let him guard against arrogance and rashness, so he said: "Yes, the disciple is fortunate to have the master under the disciple, and he will definitely live up to his expectations!"

Yue Buqun nodded, and said with satisfaction: "Old Man Li is well-known outside, and he also has a lot of help in this faction, you are young, and you have been clothed and fed since you were a child, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get used to the hard days on the mountain, and you still need to be taken care of every day." As a teacher, I will temporarily allocate Zizhu Courtyard to you for use. But if you practice martial arts and are diligent, you are most afraid of not being able to endure hardship, you have to keep it in mind. ”

Qing Jin bowed and said, "The disciple must remember the master's teachings, and he will not dare to slack off!"

Qing Jin also breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help laughing at himself that he was confused if he cared. At the age of five, if he practiced martial arts alone on the mountain, how could the old man rest assured. Besides, his ancestors were born in Hanlin and had heirlooms of poetry and books, if it weren't for the illness two years ago, how could he agree to go up the mountain to practice martial arts. It is also that he has been too smart since he was a child, and he opened himself at the age of two, and he is excellent in learning, and the ancient atmosphere is like this, and the old man is still counting on his gold list title and glorious lintel? It seems that most of them are going to invite a gentleman to come to the mountain to teach themselves! Alas......

Deno, take your junior brother to Zizhu Courtyard to settle down first!

Lauderno bowed and said, "Yes, Master!"

Qingjin also bowed to Yue Buqun, and then hugged his fist at Lao Denuo and said, "There is Senior Brother Lao!"

Several people in the hall couldn't help but look a little nondescript when they saw the five-year-old boy clenching his fists in a serious way, and a smile appeared on their faces. Even Ling Shan, who was just three years old, also compared, and Lau Denuo also smiled: "Senior brother doesn't have to be polite!"

Qingjin also knows how to make people laugh, but after all, he has been trained for many years, and he only pretends not to know!

I only heard Yue Buqun restrain his smile, and said: Hmm...... Yes, politeness and courtesy, Fang is the work of a gentleman, Deno, go!

......

"Young master, young master!" a fair-eyed boy trotted over, seeing that he was about eight or nine years old, with a happy face!

"Collect medicine, follow me to Zizhu Courtyard first!" Qingjin waved his hand.

Hearing the words, he said "oh" and followed closely behind!

Qing Jin smiled and arched his hand and said, "The junior brother has just arrived, and I will have to mention more senior brother in the future!"

Lau Denuo also smiled and arched his hand: "Senior brother is polite, senior brother, I only started two years earlier than my junior brother, and it is also the master who pities me for my age, and I have not made much progress in martial arts, and I am barely included in the door wall, helping to take care of some mundane affairs!

"Senior brother is polite, junior brother dare not be!" The two of them said a few polite words, and they arrived at Zizhu Courtyard, but the courtyard is not small, blue bricks and blue tiles, white-walled courtyards, five main houses, three partial rooms on each side, the main room and verandah, all elegant and chic, antique, the courtyard is planted with purple bamboo, mountains and rocks and plants are dotted in the meantime, cobblestones pave the path, natural harmony, Lau Deno led Qingjin around a few times, and then said goodbye!

At this time, the world is still particular about the residence: "The sound of the city is not in the ears, the vulgar is not to the door, the guests are sitting together, the flowing water is on the left, and the green mountains are the household!"

Qing Jin waved his hand to collect the medicine, gave a few instructions, and trotted out to collect the medicine! Idle, he walked around the yard carefully, and the eleven side rooms were opened one by one to take a look, but they were also clean, it seemed that they had just been cleaned, but the furniture was a little old, and many of them were rotten. Qing Jin couldn't help but sigh, thinking about it, from the two sieges of Huashan by the ten elders of the Demon Sect, to the battle of the qi sword, the death of the dead, and the scattering. The Xuanmen faction back then, the leader of the Wuyue Alliance, was so weakened that people couldn't help but sigh!

Yue Buqun has been in business for ten years, and only now has there been a slight improvement. Otherwise, a beginner disciple, even if he has excellent talent and some relationships, he will never be able to live alone in a courtyard!

Qing Jin saw that on the northwest side of the courtyard, there was a small door, and a purple bamboo at the door was crawling with cyan vines, and the green leaves were lined with purple and red flowers, which was fragrant and delicate! There were some places on the door bolt that had grown white hairs, and it seemed that no one had been here for a long time. Qing Jin found a clean place and pulled out the door bolt, thinking that he would have to replace it in the future!

Open the small door, it is a cobbleball path, go through dozens of zhang, suddenly open up in front of you, flat and wide, only to see the trees are verdant, flowers and plants are everywhere, a clear spring flows down from the mountain stream, accumulates into a pool of bitan, drains between the stone gaps, the corner of the mountain cliff, there is a small pavilion, the inscription "cloud cliff pavilion" three words, the iron hook silver stroke, vigorous and powerful. The pavilion takes red sandalwood as the column, the white stone as the railing, and the carved beams and paintings are drawn. Leaning over and looking, the clear stream leaks jade, and the stone pierces the clouds. The quiet and strange place is indescribable, but it is a good place to practice martial arts and study!

Young master, young master......

Qing Jin heard that it was to collect medicine, and then he knew that he had called Steward Liu from the welcome pavilion! Without delay, he hurriedly walked back, but found that there was a gap behind the courtyard, attracting a clear spring, only a few feet, the bluestone paved, around the courtyard, I can't help but secretly think that the person who built this courtyard is also an elegant person!

Steward Liu had a white face and a short beard, a square nose and forehead, and stepped forward and bowed slightly: "Congratulations, young master, with Master Yue here, he will definitely be able to eradicate the disease." It's just that the days on the mountain are hard, and the practice of martial arts is hard and tiring, how can the young master bear it! Fortunately, after a few years of getting better, he will take the young master down the mountain, and then with the young master's intelligence, the title of the gold list is not a problem, and it is more expensive than the gold from a martial artist!"

Qing Jin knew that this opportunity to practice martial arts was not easy to come by, and that the sword battle was more attractive to him than the imperial examination, so he could only live up to the old man's ardent expectations! At this time, it was inconvenient to say more, so he said: "Yes! Uncle Liu don't worry, the master has profound internal skills, even if he practices martial arts, he will suffer some hardships, and he can't say that his body can be adjusted in a few years!"

Uncle Liu also said: "Buddha bless, it must be so." Before the master came, he instructed that this yard was acceptable, but most of the furniture was quite old, and it should be replaced, and the house should be renovated from the ground up!

Qing Jin nodded and said, "Just do what the old man wants!" Thinking to himself, this courtyard was really accommodating by the old man and Yue Buqun!

Uncle Liu then bowed slightly and said: "It's the old slave who didn't arrange it well, the young master had to eat in the pie canteen today, if it wasn't the right taste, he brought snacks to pick medicine, but he could use it for the time being!"

Qing Jin saw that he was carrying a food box while picking medicine, and couldn't help sighing: "Uncle Liu bothered, you're welcome, you are also an old man in the family, you have watched me grow up since I was a child, and you know that I have a good appetite since I was a child, and I heard Senior Brother Lao say that the food on the mountain is also good!"

Uncle Liu said slowly: "So the old slave can rest assured, Master Wang, who is making medicinal food, will come tomorrow, and his daughter-in-law Wang, who used to be the old lady's roommate, is not only a good cook, but also a good hand at housework." I originally wanted to call your two girls, Mingyue and Caixia, too, but the lord said that now you have just gone up the mountain, and you will talk about it after a while when you settle down. Mr. Su also agreed to come to the mountain to teach you, but he will have to wait until this side is cleaned up!

Qing Jin nodded helplessly, and he didn't know what to feel in his heart, and he wanted to say, "I came up the mountain to learn martial arts, not to enjoy it," alas...... Will Yue Buqun find out that I am greedy for comfort, forget it, after all, the old man is for his own good, and he can enjoy it, no one wants to live a hard life, and he will learn and practice hard by himself!

Uncle Liu said a few other things, Qing Jin listened to them one by one, and let Uncle Liu arrange them as appropriate!

Finally sent Uncle Liu down the mountain, Qing Jin exhaled a long breath, is he finally going to enter the rivers and lakes?
