Chapter 15, Martial Arts

The next day, in the bamboo forest at the foot of Shaomu Mountain, Ding Xiaoyao walked in front, and Xiao Qin Xuan followed closely behind the master with the Tiangang sword on his back.

The two walked through the bamboo forest, and soon returned to the small bamboo house, along the way, Xiao Qin Xuan was silent, like a child who made a mistake, and kept his little head down. I've been complaining about myself in my heart, I shouldn't be afraid of the other party yesterday, I should draw my sword to fight....

The two came to the stone table in the garden, Ding Xiaoyao slowly sat on the stone bench, and Xiao Qin Xuan immediately respectfully poured water and made tea for the master.

Ding Xiaoyao's eyes kept staring at Xiao Qin Xuan, and after a long time, he said, "Do you remember the death of your father and mother and that old servant..." ”

Xiao Qin Xuan lowered his head, his little hand pouring tea trembled slightly, and he didn't even notice that the tea was spilling out of the teacup: "Remember! I will never forget !!" raised his head sadly, looked at the master with both eyes, and said through gritted teeth.

Ding Xiaoyao nodded, and said solemnly, "Okay, from today onwards, I will teach you how to practice martial arts?!"

Hearing this, Xiao Qin Xuan looked at the master blankly, and his heart suddenly turned over, he could finally practice martial arts!

Seeing that Xiao Qin Xuan's face kept changing, Ding Xiaoyao sighed: "Idiot, can you persevere, no matter how hard it is?"

"Yes!" As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Qin Xuan immediately replied, his face revealing a resolute expression. I want to take revenge, no matter how hard it is, how tired I am, I don't care!

"Okay!!" Ding Xiaoyao smiled at the corner of his mouth and nodded.

Then he turned his head to look at the big tree not far behind him, and shook his finger at the tombstone under the tree: "Go, kowtow to your master and mother three times..." ”

"Yes, master.... Xiao Qin Xuan put down the teapot in his hand, ran to the big tree, and knelt in front of the tombstone rigorously.

"Boom... Boom... Boom.... He bent down and kowtowed three times, and his forehead turned red.

Seeing the apprentice kowtow respectfully to the tombstone, Ding Xiaoyao stood up and walked towards the tombstone with satisfaction: "Okay, get up, come with me..." With a soft voice, he walked towards the outside of the small bamboo house.

Xiao Qin Xuan hurriedly got up from the ground and followed closely behind the master.

...............

The master and apprentice walked to a large lake at the foot of Mt. Shaomuro. The lake is very wide and long, enough to stay dozens of big boats, the lake water is very clear, you can see fish swimming in the water, the lake is surrounded by dense bamboo forests, from time to time there are flocks of birds flying in the air, the scenery here is very beautiful.

Ding Xiaoyao came to the lake, standing alone on his back, looking at the lake with obsessive eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth from time to time, and his expression was confused, as if he had thought of something that made him so happy.

"It's beautiful... Xiao Qin Xuan stood beside his master and looked around with a burst of amazement.

Ding Xiaoyao slowly woke up from his memories, and looked down at Xiao Qin Xuan beside him: "This is the place where the master and your master practice their martial arts, and the master's martial arts are .........all realized here" Stretched out his hand and touched Xiao Qin Xuan's head, and said with a soft expression: "From today on, this is the place where you practice martial arts........."

"Well..."Xiao Qin Xuan nodded obediently: "Master, then what are you going to teach me now?, is it to teach the love sword you created?" Xiao Qin Xuan innocently looked at the master and asked.

"No, it's not time yet.... Ding Xiaoyao shook his head, turned around and stretched out his hand to the Shaolin Temple on Shaolin Mountain: "I saw that the drum bell of Shaolin Temple is not ?...。 ”

Shaolin Temple on Shaolin Mountain, Shaolin Temple is the Taishan Beidou of martial arts, the world's martial arts out of Shaolin, everyone praises the rivers and lakes, but unfortunately as early as a few decades ago, the Shaolin Temple closed the temple and retreated, and no longer paid attention to the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and the reason for this has not been known.........

Xiao Qin Xuan heard the master's words, and followed the master's hand to the mountain to look at it, there was indeed a huge drum bell next to the Shaolin Temple. Xiao Qin Xuan nodded ignorantly.

"Every morning when the drum bell rings, it is the time for you to practice martial arts, you know..."Ding Xiaoyao's face became serious, and he said sternly.

"Well, I know..."Xiao Qin Xuan blinked in understanding.

"Okay, now, get me into the water... Nodding, Ding Xiaoyao stretched out his hand again to point to the clear lake and ordered Xiao Qin Xuan.

Xiao Qin Xuan hurriedly untied the Tiangang Sword on his back, took off his clothes on the ground, and ran into the lake naked. Although he was full of doubts about the master's desire to go into the water by himself, the master must have his reasons.

"Wow!!It's so cool!!" As soon as he entered the icy lake water, Xiao Qin Xuan groaned happily.

"From today on, your task is to learn to hold your breath in the water!" Ding Xiaoyao stared at Xiao Qin Xuan in the lake, and slowly said his purpose.

"Hold your breath?" Xiao Qin Xuan looked at the master questioningly, is this holding his breath in the water also considered martial arts?

Seeing that the apprentice looked puzzled, Ding Xiaoyao chuckled lightly and said seriously: "When you can hold your breath in the lake for a stick of incense, it will be the day you learn martial arts..." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Qin Xuan looked helpless, wouldn't it, how long has it been to hold his breath for a stick of incense?

Ignoring the depressed look on his face, Ding Xiaoyao carried his back with one hand and turned to leave.

"If you have the perseverance to take revenge, then you can start practicing breath-holding now!" Ding Xiaoyao's figure gradually disappeared into the bamboo forest, and only the last words still echoed around the empty lake.

"Okay.... I want revenge! No matter how hard and tired I am!I will definitely be able to persevere!" Watching the master leave, Xiao Qin Xuan gritted his teeth, and his small body quickly sank into the lake with a pop.

In less than a few seconds.

"Bang la-la-la..."There was a sound of water, and Xiao Qin Xuan came out of the water panting.

"Whew.... Constantly panting, Xiao Qin Xuan's breathing was extremely uncomfortable. It's only been a few seconds of holding your breath in the water, and you feel so uncomfortable, wouldn't it be fatal to hold your breath for a stick of incense?!

"No matter!Go on!" Gritting his teeth, Xiao Qin Xuan firmly sank into the lake again.

It's still less than a few seconds.

"Bang la..."There was another sound of water, and Xiao Qin Xuan came out of the lake again.

"It's so uncomfortable, it's so uncomfortable.... His face began to turn pale due to lack of oxygen, Xiao Qin Xuan's heart began to retreat, he quickly paddled his arms, and slowly swam towards the shore of the lake, he didn't want to continue, this was useless for his own martial arts!

But as soon as he swam to the shore, Xiao Qin Xuan stopped paddling his hands, and the fire in Qin Mansion suddenly appeared in his mind, and Grandpa Zhong's unwilling eyes when he died also appeared in his mind, and Xiao Qin Xuan shed tears uncontrollably.

"I want revenge! I want revenge!!" Yang Tian roared, suddenly turned and swam towards the middle of the lake.

With a pop, the little body sank into the lake again...

In the bamboo forest in the distance, Ding Xiao stood quietly under the bamboo, looking at everything on the lake. A pleased smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he nodded appreciatively: "Yes, that's it, only strong perseverance can persevere..." ”

"Although this son's qualifications are mediocre, he is not a good material for martial arts, but... There is no apprentice that Ding Xiaoyao can't teach!" Reaching out and caressing his temples, a look of pride appeared on Ding Xiaoyao's face in an instant.

"It is only between life and death that people can unleash their potential.... If this son has the perseverance to persevere, he will definitely be able to force his potential!"

"Hahaha........." The more he thought about it, the more he felt surging, as if he could see the appearance of being reborn in vain, Ding Xiaoyao laughed, turned around and really left.

"Don't let me down, good apprentice... ”

In the lake in the distance, Xiao Qin Xuan was constantly sinking into the water, allowing himself to hold his breath for a longer time.

The little body kept practicing, and kept forcing himself to persevere.

Once, twice, three times......
