Dongji Castle is the largest town in Dongji Island, located in the center of the island, the city wall is low, the city gate is unguarded, and there are few soldiers in the city, only the people spontaneously organize discipline. There was almost no war in the Eastern Islands, and if there was a dispute between the Oshima Islands, it would be resolved through mediation. Therefore, the strength of the sect determines the status of Oshima in the Eastern Islands.

Dongji City is very prosperous, the streets are full of people, buildings stand side by side, a prosperous scene. Zhen Zheng walked out of the last stream path, and when he came to Dongji City, it was like entering the land of Wangji in the Central Plains, looking around, asking this and that. An Guqi had a dark face, kept his distance from Zhen Zheng, and pretended not to know him.

After being shown the way, the two came to a door.

Sure enough, there was only one door, and Zhen Zheng saw a stone door standing abruptly in front of it, with the three big characters "One Door" engraved on it.

In addition to this gate, not to mention the fence, there is not even a simple fence, there are only four or five thatched huts behind the door, a few teenagers outside are practicing swords, and an old man in a gray robe is lying on a bamboo chair next to him dozing.

This is the gate that rules Dongji Island? Zhen Zheng and the others couldn't help but doubt in their hearts, so they walked in from inside the stone gate. Who knows, as soon as the two of them stepped into the stone gate, a fierce aura pressed them, forcing them out of the door. Zhen Zheng and An Guqi were shocked, only to see the old man lying on the bamboo chair wake up and said solemnly, "According to the rules of this sect, no one, including disciples of this sect, can go through the stone gate." ”

Zhen Zheng and the others dared to underestimate this old man, and said respectfully: "Senior, the two of us have heard of the prestige of a gate, and we are here to join your faction, only to learn from the way of the sword, not to reach Kyushu." ”

"What! you have to join a door!" the old man, with his eyes wide open and his face full of disbelief, immediately jumped off the bamboo chair, did not wear shoes, and ran barefoot and laughing towards the two.

Zhen Zheng and the others looked at the old man's deformed face with a happy smile, and the few remaining teeth in his mouth, and they didn't know why he was so excited.

The old man ran over and grabbed Zhen Zheng's hand tightly with both hands and didn't let go, as if he was afraid that he would run away, "Great, it's been ten years, it's been ten years, and I have finally received a disciple again!" It turns out that a door has not been able to recruit disciples for ten years, no wonder there are four or five thatched huts, and there are many doors.

Zhen Zheng thought that if he let the old man know that An Guqi came here to see how bad a door was, I don't know how the old man would feel.

"Senior, those young swordsmen, I don't think they are old disciples?" An Guqi said respectfully.

"Hey, I can't recruit disciples, in order to make a living, this sect can only recruit some teenagers from nearby families, pass on some simple swordsmanship, and earn some tuition. The old man sighed.

Zhen Zheng thought of the Songyang Academy on the sixty-fourth road, and Mr. also sold tea for his livelihood, and he was quite emotional, he was really unlucky, he was studying and learning swords in this kind of place, no wonder he couldn't do anything.

"May I ask senior, how many disciples are there in the sect now?" An Guqi asked again.

"Don't call me a senior, just call me master, I am the head of a door, and the people of the Eastern Islands call me the old man of Xuangu. There are three official disciples in this sect, and there are five of them counting the two of you, which happens to be a small consummation, and it seems that my door is going to be prosperous!"

Zhen Zheng and An Guqi were really speechless about the old man's optimism.

"But don't we need apprenticeship?" Zhen Zheng asked.

"This door never cares about red tape, you have to know that the road is simple. The old man of Xuangu said, but he thought in his heart, two disciples finally came, and they must not be allowed to escape.

At this time, a young man walked out of the thatched hut on the left, a weak crown year, seven feet tall, but his face was like condensation, his eyes were like stars, he was delicate and thin, and he was a beautiful young man.

"Starmark, come here, these two are your junior brothers and sisters, you can get to know each other. The old man of Xuangu greeted the beautiful young man.

"I'll come first, I'm his senior sister, my name is An Guqi, you can call me Xiaoqi in the future, Senior Brother Star Scar is so beautiful." An Guqi said quite actively.

Zhen Zheng saw that An Guqi directly called himself a junior brother, and smiled helplessly, she was also unceremonious in terms of seniority. "My name is Zhen Zheng, I am a scholar, I don't know martial arts, I will ask Senior Brother Xingji for more advice in the future. ”

"Well, I am your third senior brother, the two of you will have to practice hard in the future, and if you don't understand anything in the future, ask me. Starmark nodded, speaking a little old-fashioned.

"Yo, you've arrived, hey, you've been seen by the old man now, and it's too late for you to leave. A voice came, Zhen Zheng looked back, and saw an eight-foot man standing behind him, who was actually the woodcutter he met on the road.

"Zhonghou is back, how much firewood did you chop today? Hurry up, go to the kitchen and cook more delicious food, you have two new junior brothers and sisters. The old man said happily, "This is your second senior brother, just call him loyal senior brother in the future." ”

"Alas, it's been ten years, and you've finally been deceived by two people again," Zhonghou said to the old man, and then said to Zhen Zheng and the others, "I have long advised you not to come, it will be difficult to get on the thief ship now, and see me chopping wood and cooking every day, your future life will only be worse." ”

"Ahem, don't talk nonsense, looking at your junior brother and sister, how can I bear to let them chop wood? "The old man of Xuangu is coloring.

An Guqi saw that the hateful woodcutter turned out to be his senior brother, his face was ugly, and he said in his heart that he was loyal, but he seemed to be loyal. She suddenly felt that it might be a mistake to come through the door, but now she wanted to go as hard as the woodcutter said.

Zhen Zheng and the two introduced themselves to Zhonghou respectively, and Zhonghou wanted to go into the kitchen to cook something delicious for Zhen Zheng and the others, but An Guqi wanted to cook in person and show his good dishes. Zhen Zheng tried his best to stop it, but the old man of Xuangu agreed, and said that he would finally not have to cook in the future.

The old man Xuangu, Zhonghou, and Xingji sat on the table, looking at the "coke" on the table, stunned, Zhen Zheng sighed on the side, he knew that it would be like this, it seemed that he was going to be hungry at night.

"It's just a little mushy, but it should still taste good. The old man Xuangu still had a glimmer of hope. The old man took a bite of An Guqi's cooking, and then strictly forbade her to enter the kitchen again.

In this way, Zhen Zheng and An Guqi's one-door cultivation journey began.

Zhen Zheng has already seen a door except for the senior sister, the old man of Xuangu specializes in teaching young people to practice swords, Xingji is responsible for teaching people calligraphy, Zhonghou is responsible for chopping wood and cooking, An Guqi is responsible for washing everyone's clothes, Zhen Zheng was arranged to carry water, and the old man of Xuangu said that he used this way to exercise Zhen Zheng's arm strength. There are few people in a door, so two tanks of water are enough every day, and it doesn't take an hour to carry water, and the rest of the time is used to learn the kung fu of a door.

"A gate is named after that stone gate, when the patriarch founded this sect, he made a rule that no one, including disciples of this sect, was allowed to walk through that stone gate. The old man Xuangu said, "There is actually nothing special about that stone gate, but the highest magical power of this gate is to rely on it to cultivate." The highest power of this gate is to stand still outside the door and the door has entered. It is to stand outside the door and teleport inside the door. ”

"It is said that the patriarch of the Kai sect traveled around the islands directly by this magical power, without the need to travel by boat. The old man added.

Zhen Zheng and the others were shocked, this supernatural power is really a great supernatural power, which makes people's bodies break through the limitations of space and spread from one place to another. It's much more convenient to go out this way, Zhen Zheng thought.

Although there is such a magical power in a door, it is not even a secret book of magical powers, it is said that only the patriarch of the Kai faction has successfully cultivated so far, and most people in Dongji Island think that this magical power does not exist at all. The sects on other big islands have their own supernatural powers, but one gate is equal to no supernatural powers, which is why Dongji Island has a population of one million, but one gate has not been able to recruit disciples for ten years, so they all went to other sects.

The way of the sword is divided into six realms, namely, the dexterity that can flexibly use the sword in his hand, the curtain that holds the sword without dripping water on a rainy day, the sword qi that pulls out the sword and the sword qi is vertical and horizontal, the condensing sword that turns the sword qi into a sword with an empty hand, the sword saint who is transcendent, and finally the sword god realm that integrates human and sword, and it is already a legendary existence to be able to reach that realm. Like Jian Xuan and Gongsun Ji, they are sword qi masters, and the fat man almost stepped into the condensing sword.

"The confluence of sword qi, the essence of the way of the sword is to enter the qi from the sword, and the qi is the foundation of the way of the sword. The old man Xuangu said.

Zhen Zheng has no cultivation foundation, so he can only slowly start from the basics. The old man gave Zhen Zheng an ordinary iron sword, the sword was three feet five inches long, and Zhen Zheng named him Qiu Long, which meant that he would use this sword to slaughter Qiu Long who killed his family.

The old man asked Zhen Zheng to keep the sword in his hand from today, no matter what he did, he had to hold the dragon, half a month later, Zhen Zheng found that he felt very comfortable holding the sword, and it was uncomfortable without the sword.

So, the old man asked Zhen Zheng to hold a wooden sword and compete with the young man in the "Yimen Martial Arts Hall", as long as he used the sword to take the move. Zhen Zheng was bruised by the teenagers, and he didn't complain, and the next day he still took the trick violently, it seems that the old man of Xuangu asked Zhen Zheng to carry water, which is still very reasonable. On the third day, Zhen Zheng stood there and could pick up the call freely. Zhen Zheng has already reached the level of skillful spirit, and he is also a beginner in kendo.

The old man of Xuangu sighed that Zhen Zheng was a genius with a sword. An Guqi was not convinced, and asked Zhen Zheng to use a wooden sword to compete, An Guqi had been practicing swords for several years, and had already stepped into the clever spirit and approached the curtain. Zhen was facing An Guqi's rain-like offensive and could only resist it, and in the end, he was inevitably beaten into a pig's head.
