Chapter 9
Big Brother Xuanchi taught me the Songhe swordsmanship and asked me to practice it more frequently. I dare not neglect it. I have been practicing day and night since I went down the mountain.

One evening, after dinner, I found a secluded place to practice sword.This Songhe swordsmanship is much more complicated than that of the Seven Stars swordsmanship. I have practiced it several times, but I still can't get the point.I was irritated in my heart, so I simply dropped the sword and sat down.

I looked down at the blue light sword that was thrown aside, I really didn't know which nerve I was wrong.I could have stolen the jade pillow by relying on the sea snake kung fu taught me by the old man Xiexian, and escaped, but now I am actually practicing swords exhaustingly.Anyway, I can't practice the Songhe Sword, and as for the apprenticeship ceremony, it has nothing to do with me.It suddenly dawned on me, why don't I just go to the old man to get back the jade pillow tonight.

Hehe, thinking of this, I am in a good mood, and put the unhappiness just now out of the blue.

"Ruoshui, what are you doing!" Xuan Chi's stern voice came from behind.

My heart was shocked, and I quickly got up: "Xuan...Senior Brother Xuanchi!" I said with trepidation.

He glanced at me, leaned over and picked up the long sword thrown on the ground, and said, "The apprenticeship ceremony is imminent, you still have time to be lazy here! How is your sword practice?"

I pursed my lips, thinking that I don't want to worship any master.At the beginning, I had no choice but to pay homage to the old man Xiaoyao, but now I have a good opportunity to slip away, so why don't I leave?I respectfully said: "Ruoshui's talent is stupid, and this songhe swordsmanship is unpredictable, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach the peak even if I practice for ten years!"

Xuanchi looked at me coldly, and said: "How many natural geniuses are there in this world? The reason why they are at the peak of martial arts is because of the inhuman hardships behind them. If this little difficulty stumps you , then I think you should go down the mountain! The path of cultivation is not suitable for you!"

When I heard his stern words, I couldn't help being startled: "Brother, I..."

He waved his hand, threw down his long sword and said, "Since you have no intention of cultivating the Tao, you don't have to force it. You can go down the mountain now! Master is very fond of you, but I'm afraid you will be disappointed now!" After finishing speaking, he sighed He took a breath and left without looking back.

I have been stubborn since I was a child, and no difficulty has ever stumped me.Now I was excited by these few words of his, and my stubbornness came up immediately, thinking that you look down on me, I just want to practice well and show you, hum!At the moment, he didn't think about taking the jade pillow, and concentrated on practicing this annoying song and crane sword technique.

After practicing for more than ten days in a row, I can understand a little bit about this set of sword moves, and I am so happy that I am almost ecstatic.Hey, looking at you Xuanchi, you still underestimate me?When I was triumphant, I suddenly heard someone laughing, which was very annoying to hear.

I looked back, and most of my good mood disappeared immediately.I saw that annoying Xuan Neng looking at me with a half-smile.

"What are you laughing at?" I frowned and shouted.

He snorted coldly and said, "I thought you were capable, but you are no more than a three-legged cat!"

I raised my head and said, "So you look down on Kunlun's swordsmanship? Since you are so powerful, why are you begging for nothing to stay here and learn some three-legged cat skills?"

He sneered and said: "Don't make excuses! My Kunlun Songhe swordsmanship is extremely powerful, and it really insults the painstaking efforts of an immortal master to practice it for you little thief!"

This kid actually exposed my shortcoming. "Who do you call a thief?" I yelled.

"Is there a second person here who went to the alchemy room to steal the Nine-Turn Golden Pill?" He said. "Hey, I see you are very proud, but now I realize that you are a coward!"

This guy is so deceitful! "If you have one, let's practice it!" I turned my long sword and flew towards him.

I originally wanted to catch him by surprise and kill his vigor, but unexpectedly, he was so dexterous that he flew to avoid my sword.Then, I turned around and stabbed him in the chest with a sword, and he kicked and attacked me under the ribs.Startled, I quickly stepped aside.At this time, he drew out his long sword and used a move of Pine and Egret in Songhe swordsmanship. I used a move of Crane Dance Nine Heavens to avoid it.He made several moves in succession, and his swordsmanship was fierce, forcing me to retreat again and again.

It seems that this guy is really talented, and his martial arts are far superior to mine.At the moment, I didn't dare to be careless, and used the Songhe Sword Technique 24 moves over and over.However, after a while, I gradually felt powerless, and my sword moves were not as comfortable as before.He saw that I hadn't mastered my swordsmanship yet, so suddenly the long sword turned and stabbed straight at my chest.I was in a hurry, and quickly dodged to block, but this move turned out to be a false move, he really wanted to stab my left shoulder, and there was a squeak, and a bloodstain was cut on my arm by the long sword.

I was shocked in my heart, this person's attack was sinister and vicious, it seems that if I don't use my full strength today, I am afraid that I will be seriously injured.In an instant, he thrust out another sword, which was a hundred times stronger than before. I managed to block it, but felt the wound on my arm was burning.I gritted my teeth, thinking that I must fight him quickly, or I will lose my strength soon.

We tried several tricks again, but I still couldn't take advantage of it, but was forced into a dilemma by him.He spotted my weakness, and made another sword move. This sword used at least seven levels of skill. I was startled, and remembered the set of seven-star swordsmanship that the old man Xiexian taught me, and quickly used it.Good guy, this sword technique is really effective, after a while, I have gradually gained the upper hand.But although my sword moves are good, my internal strength is still far behind his. When he was exhausted, he stabbed me with a sword.My wound was in severe pain, and I couldn't use any strength. I thought I was going to die now, but I was really unwilling to die in the hands of such a guy.

At this time, I felt a gust of wind blowing in front of me, and only heard two clangs, the long swords of Xuan Neng and I had already been snatched away.We took a closer look and saw Xuanchi standing in front of me, holding two long swords in his hands.

"Senior Brother Xuanchi!" I shouted.

Xuan Chi turned around and asked, "What are you guys doing?"

I glanced at Xuan Neng angrily, and really wanted to tell the truth, but the Kunlun sect rules forbid disciples to use fighting spirit and sword without authorization, so I hesitated for a while and didn't know what to say.

Xuan Neng gave me a cold look, and then said with a smile on his face: "Brother, Junior Sister Ruoshui and I are exchanging martial arts! Junior Sister Ruoshui's martial arts progress is so fast, Xuan Neng admires it! Junior Sister Ruoshui accepted it! "As he spoke, he clasped his fists and saluted.

This guy is really shameless for lying and not drafting.Xuan Chi turned to me and asked, "Is that so?"

I saw him look serious and serious, I was the one who started this matter, if I tell the truth, maybe I have to feed the pigs and cook this time.I forced a smile and said, "Exactly! I heard that senior brother Xuan Neng's swordsmanship is exquisite, so I asked for some advice! But after trying it out, I realized that I really only have three-legged cat kung fu!"

Xuanneng could hear that I was mocking him, so he gave me a look and said nothing.

Xuan Chi didn't pursue further, he waved his hand to let Xuan Neng go.Only now did I feel my heart pounding, if Xuan Chi hadn't arrived in time, maybe my little life would have been lost.

"Senior Brother Xuanchi, I..." I was about to say a few words of thanks.

But he turned around and said coldly, "Why don't you go down the mountain?"

What kind of person, grab someone's pigtails and hold on!I murmured and said, "Senior brother, Ruoshui made a mistake that day! Please, brother, be magnanimous and don't argue with me. I know that brother is strict with me, and it's for my own good. From now on, I will practice sword hard and live up to my brother. ... Master's expectation!"

According to common sense, if someone apologizes humbly, he should say a few polite words!However, Xuanchi didn't say a word, and didn't even turn his head!He just threw me a bottle of medicine and said, "This is medicine for sores, you go back and apply it on the wound!" After speaking, he waved his sleeve away.

Alright alright!It's really masochistic to make friends with this kind of person who has no fireworks!

When I went back, Xuanyao was shocked when she saw my wound, and asked me what was wrong.I just told about the sword competition between myself and Xuanneng.

Xuan Yao said: "You are too quick-tempered, Senior Brother Xuan Neng is very insidious, if you make enemies with him, I'm afraid there will be nothing good in the future!"

"What else can I do? At worst, I'll stab him to death with a sword. Anyway, I just can't stand this kind of person!" I said angrily.

Xuan Yao sighed, lowered her head and applied the medicine to me.

On February [-]th, there is one day before Kunlun's apprenticeship ceremony.Everyone in Kunlun was busy preparing for it that day, and many people from various sects also came. It seems that this ceremony of apprenticeship is really a big deal.

The second senior brother said there was not enough manpower, so he sent Xuan Yao and me to receive the people who came to watch the ceremony at the foot of the mountain.The two of us got up early, talking and laughing all the way to the foot of the mountain.

It was still early when we got down the mountain, but the weather was already starting to heat up.We simply hid in the see-off pavilion on the side of the mountain and waited for people while drinking tea.After waiting for a while, a group of people came up the mountain.We went up to inquire, and it turned out that they were disciples of the Songshan School. They entered the pavilion and had a sip of tea before heading up the mountain.It was almost noon, and the disciples from all schools were almost here. We were about to go back, when we suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums at the foot of the mountain, very lively.

Who is this? Xuanyao and I looked at each other, and even brought up the guard of honor.At this time, I saw a beautiful woman in purple clothes walking over, followed by several men in yellow shirts, and behind them was a small group of musicians who played and sang.

Whoever comes is a guest, no matter who it is!Xuan Yao and I greeted him.

"Welcome everyone from afar, what do you call me?" Xuan Yao and I asked.

The woman in purple looked at us arrogantly, waved her hand, and there was a sudden silence from behind. "Who are you? Could it be that all the men in Kunlun are dead, and they actually called a few women to come to welcome guests. Why do you look down on us?" the woman said sharply.

This woman is really arrogant and rude.I smiled and said: "Naturally, all the men in Kunlun are not dead! Although we are women, we are all disciples of Kunlun, and we are equally precious. Unlike some women, who are women themselves, but look down on women! Isn't this ridiculous?" ?”

"What are you talking about? How dare you, what are you? How dare you be rude to me!" The woman raised her eyebrows and shouted.The men behind her also stared angrily, with their long swords in their hands, as if they were about to strike.

I reached out and pressed the hilt of the sword and said, "What? Do you want to make trouble in Kunlun?"

Xuanyao has always been timid and cautious, and she was startled when she saw our sword-ridden situation, afraid that something might happen.She came over and pulled me aside, gave me a wink, and said politely: "My junior sister is impatient, please forgive me for offending everyone! I don't know which master disciple you are?"

The woman in purple snorted coldly, then turned her head to signal the disciples beside her.The man stepped forward and said triumphantly: "The one in front of you is Miss Qianjin Qiushui, the head of the Kongtong School Taiqing! We heard that the head of Xiaoyao is accepting apprentices today, so we came here to congratulate you!" After finishing speaking, the man looked at it respectfully Look at the master, his face is full of flattery.

Who am I?It turned out to be the daughter of Taiqing who was as famous as the Emperor Gaohuang.cut!What does your father have to do with you because he is capable? Does he need to be so airy?
Xuanyao smiled and said, "Everyone is actually a master of Kongtong, please go inside!" Then she pulled me out of the way.That Qiushui passed by me and gave me a hard look.I was about to stare back, but Xuanyao grabbed me, I knew she didn't want to make things big, so I didn't make a sound.

"Why don't you let me make gestures with them? Look at that, what a shame!" On the way back, I said angrily.

Xuan Yao said: "They are guests, we are masters! How can there be any reason for the master to fight against the guests? Besides, this Li Qiushui is the daughter of the head of Kongtong, and his martial arts accomplishments are probably not inferior to the elder brother!"

I was taken aback.Then what Qiu Shui looked like was only seventeen or eighteen years old, how could his martial arts be comparable to his senior brother. "You coax me?" I said.

Xuan Yao shook her head and said: "Li Qiushui is the daughter of Daoist Taiqing, so she will naturally be the head of Kongtong from now on. Father loves his daughter so much, so it's no wonder that he passed on his life's skills to her!"

I stuck out my tongue when I heard that, luckily I didn't do anything just now, if that Li Qiushui's internal energy is really as good as Xuanchi's, wouldn't I suffer a big loss?Alas, I have such a bad temper, and I still can't change it after suffering several losses.No wonder the captain always scolded me for being an ass, it seems that I was right!
When we went back, the Xuanpu hall was already full of the heads and disciples of the various sects, talking in a hurry, and the atmosphere was lively.The old man Xiaoyao and the old man Zhenyuan hadn't come yet, and there were only a few brothers in the hall. We quietly passed through the crowd and walked over.

Not long after we came back, old man Xiaoyao and old man Zhenyuan also came, followed by senior brother Xuan Chi and second senior brother Xuan Yu.I haven't seen him for a few days, the old man Xiaoyao's face is flushed, and his expression is happy. It's really happy to see.As for the town elder, alas!I really admire him, his usual cold face is enough, but when it is so lively, there is no trace of a smile on his face, it is true that the green hills do not change, and the cold face stays forever!

When everyone saw old man Xiaoyao and they came, they all stood up and saluted. Old man Xiaoyao and old man Zhenyuan welcomed them politely.Xuan Chi and Xuan Yu stood on the side of our group of disciples.

I secretly looked at the heads of the various sects, and they were all tall, short, fat, and thin, especially the new head of Tianmen Mountain, whose body shape might not be his opponent even if Ba Jie came.Although I haven't seen the head of Xu Qing who died unexpectedly, but seeing him, I can imagine that the food in Tianmen Mountain is really good, otherwise why is everyone from the head to the disciples fat and fat?There is also the head of Taishan, with long legs and short body, I really doubt whether he has a waist!

I was watching the scene with great interest, but was interrupted by the old man Xiaoyao.I saw the old man Xiaoyao grinned and laughed a few times, and then began to give an impassioned speech.The general idea is, everyone, I am very happy to come today!You are all people of high status and status, what virtue and ability do you have, can make everyone travel thousands of miles to join us, etc. Later, I heard that my eyelids were shaking, so I didn't know what to say.After finally waiting for the old man Xiaoyao to be polite, the old man Zhenyuan talked again.However, it is still the same cliché, I really want to say, old man, do you dare to be a little new?In the past, it was the old-fashioned guy of our bureau chief, and his words were interesting, but the old man of the town is really an old antique that is rare in a thousand years!
The speech of the old man Zhenyuan was many times longer than that of the old man Xiaoyao. After the speech, I saw that the leaders were almost falling asleep.At the end, the old man Zhenyuan said: "I think everyone is tired after driving for a few days! Please go back to your room and rest!"

Ah, relief at last!If I continue to be tortured by this long-winded old man, I probably won't be able to see the sun tomorrow.

Suddenly a high-pitched female voice interjected: "Wait a minute! Master Zhenyuan, my father sent his niece here. Apart from congratulations, there is one more important matter this time!"

I followed the prestige to see what autumn water it was.What an impolite girl, you dare to interrupt old man Zhenyuan, hehe, look at him treating you like this!

But what surprised me was that the old man Zhenyuan was not angry, but asked gently: "Niece Xian, please tell me! I don't know what's important for Senior Brother Taiqing?"

Li Qiushui said: "I heard that the alchemy room in Kunlun was stolen a few days ago, and the Nine Rank Golden Pill was also stolen. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

When the old man heard this, his face darkened and he said: "This is simply nonsense! The Nine-Turn Golden Elixir is fine, there is no such thing at all! I think some guy with ulterior motives is spreading rumors everywhere, my niece, don't believe the rumors by mistake."

Li Qiushui snorted coldly and said: "It would be the best if you don't have it! This Nine-turn Golden Elixir was left by the founder of Kunlun and Kongtong sects, Master Taiyi. If you lose it, it's not the Kunlun faction's business!"

The old man Zhenyuan said angrily: "That's natural!"

Li Qiushui stood up and cupped his hands, "Since this is the case, my niece is not feeling well, so I will take my leave and go back to my room to rest!" After speaking, he led all his disciples and left without looking back.

The old man Zhenyuan blushed with anger, but he didn't dare to do anything to her.It seems that the old man Zhenyuan will meet his opponent today, I thought gloatingly.

At this time, a person suddenly laughed behind me and said, "Seeing you take it so seriously, you must be fascinated by her!"

When I turned around, I saw my fifth senior brother Xuan Qing looking at me with a playful smile. "Where did you come from?" I clearly remembered that he was not there just now.

He leaned close to my ear and said, "I've been here all this time, it's just that you're so serious that you didn't see me!"

"I'm not serious!" I whispered, for fear of being heard, "It's just that this girl is really rude, even Master Zhenyuan doesn't pay attention to it, it's really interesting!"

The fifth senior brother smiled and said in a low voice: "Taiqing is notoriously domineering, his daughter is naturally not to be underestimated! I'm afraid she went up the mountain this time just because she didn't want to drink!"

I nodded, and was about to ask, when I heard a voice next to me say coldly: "Take care of yourself, don't gossip everywhere!"

Fifth senior brother and I looked sideways, only to see Xuan Chi staring at us.We stuck out our tongues and didn't dare to say anything more.At this time, the head disciples of each faction also dispersed, and we also went back one after another.
