I read at night and waited until dusk, but still couldn't wait for the master to come back.

The depressed mood of Shangguan and Lu was quickly disturbed by the three little guys. They kept chirping like little mice, squirming their pink bodies and looking around, especially the two who had already opened their eyes.

This little guy seemed to be able to smell the scent of Shangguan and Lu. He blinked his little eyes and looked pitiful.

"Brother Lu, are they hungry?" Shangguan Yuan was a little unsure and tried to hand over the crumbled sesame cake crumbs in his hand.

Instead of eating sesame cakes, they replaced shredded pork jerky. No matter how the two of them tried, the three little guys were always dismissive and completely uninterested in the food they handed over. Especially the third little guy, no matter how much the two teased him, he could not open his eyes.

Eyes, they stayed up like this until both of them were sleepy, and each hugged a little guy and fell asleep.

As a habit, he woke up at midnight and tied the soft gold skillfully. The little guy started to scream again when he saw the two of them.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak... squeak, squeak, squeak..." Each one was more cheerful than the other.

"Brother Lu, run away quickly. I really can't bear it. The screams of those three guys are too scary." Shangguan Yuan ran out.

"Yuanzi, Master should be back today. Master will probably know who those three little guys are. But Yuanzi, it's strange. The three guys have been barking all night, and they still have strength in the morning." Shangguan Lu was a little unsure.

Don't worry, I forced myself to look at it a few times.

"Forget it, Brother Lu, let's run to the top of the mountain and run two more laps. I really can't hear that sound anymore, it's too intrusive." Shangguan Yuanyuan ran outside without looking back.

"Well, I'll just stand on the pile, and then go straight to the medicinal bath."

The two of them were running and discussing at the same time. They usually ran to the top of the mountain and circled around a few times before running back. Today, they were thinking of not wanting to go back, so they would delay as long as possible.

At the same time, Liu Yan entered Zhuangzi carrying two packages.

Liu Yan didn't see the two people, and the soft gold beside the bed was not there either. Before he could smile, he was frightened by the sound of "squeak, squeak, squeak". He looked around and followed the sound to Shangguan.

Under Lu's bed, he saw three fleshy little ones.

"Oh my god, there are two Yanmastiffs who have recognized their owners, and there is also a Yanmastiff juvenile that is less than a month old and has not recognized its owner. Something happened to the two boys." Liu Yan did not care about the preciousness of the Yanmastiff juveniles and panicked at Zhuangzi.

I searched for houses one by one in the house. I was halfway through the search when I saw two boys already appearing at the entrance of the village, peeking out and sneaking around.

"Brother Lu, why don't those three guys stop shouting?"

"It's not like he's dead. Let's go, let's go back and have a look."

Shangguan Lu and Shangguan Yuan did not know that Master Liu Yan had returned to the villa. They did not hear the little guy's cry at the entrance of the villa. They were very happy at first, but after thinking about it, they became a little worried.

"What are you two boys doing? Come here quickly." Liu Yan pointed at the mouth of the village and scolded him angrily. Although he was angry, he finally felt relieved.

"Boys, have I been lazy these past few days?"

"Master, you are finally back. You don't know, I miss you so much!" As soon as Shangguan Yuan saw the master, he folded his arms and started shouting. In fact, Shangguan Yuan didn't miss the master at all.

The two little guys were tortured crazy and hoped that the master could solve it.

"Master, look at the heads of Yuanzi and me. Is something wrong? There is something in our heads." After all, Shangguan Lu is just a young child. Even if he matures precociously, he has limitations. Seeing his master, he hurriedly

The fear deep in my heart came out.

"Why is there something in your head?"

When Liu Yan heard Shangguan Lu's words, he was startled. There were more things in his mind. These two were his carefully trained apprentices, his hopes, and the heirs to his mantle! There must be no accidents.

"Master, Master..." Because they were worried about the three little guys in the room, Shangguan Lu and Shangguan Yuan took the master back to the room. On the way, Shangguan Lu explained to the master what was going on.

"Haha, my silly apprentice is really a little lucky!" Compared with Shangguan Lu, Shangguan Yuan was afraid and worried, but Liu Yan laughed happily. At first, Shangguan Lu and Shangguan Yuan were still worried and scared.

, seeing his master smiling, he understood a little bit and knew whether it was a good thing or not a bad thing.

"Lu'er, Yuan'er, go prepare a medicinal bath! Don't worry, it's a good thing, haha, a good thing!"

Shangguan Lu and Shangguan Yuan stood in the medicinal bath tub, looking at the master expectantly, hoping that the master could tell them what was going on, especially what they were most concerned about was how to stop the little guy from screaming.

In order for the two apprentices to take a medicinal bath with peace of mind, Liu Yan could only explain carefully: "Lu'er, Yuan'er, the beast you saw in the cave is an adult flame mastiff. It's also your bad luck. The adult flame mastiff,

Even innate masters don’t dare to provoke them. I don’t know what caused the fight between the Flame Mastiffs you saw and what you saw. However, there should be another one. Adult Flame Mastiffs are usually male and female.

By the same fate, the red pool water in the cave should be the favorite of the Flame Mastiff: Earth Fire Flame. Let's look for it together in the afternoon, maybe we can find something good. At the same time, your practice has come to an end, and you should do other things.

That’s it.”

Shangguan Lu and Shangguan Yuan finally understood under the guidance of their masters. No wonder the two of them found so many things for the little guy to eat but refused to eat them. The Flame Mastiff only eats fire-based things and does not eat human cereals.

"Master, what should we do if there is another one?" Shangguan Lu asked worriedly as he looked at the little guy.

"Lu Er, the little Flame Mastiff must be recognized as its owner as soon as possible. The parents of the little Flame Mastiff are dead. There is no mother to feed the little Flame Mastiff. Someone must recognize the owner of the Little Flame Mastiff before it can open its eyes. Otherwise, it will not be able to feed and eat, and it may not be around for long." Liu Yan

His expression was full of regret, and his tone seemed a little low.

"Master, then you can recognize the master. It's very simple. Brother Lu and I both recognized the master after being bitten." Shangguan Yuan suggested somewhat frivolously.

"Without learning or skills, it is not that simple for a young Flame Mastiff to recognize its master. There are too many coincidences for you to be recognized as its master by a young Flame Mastiff. I guess it was the dying Flame Mastiff that gave you its breath.

The little Yan Mastiff recognizes her as her mother. Otherwise, if you think the young Yan Mastiff recognizes her master so easily, then no matter how difficult the Yan Mastiff is to deal with, it would have been captured long ago." Liu Yan glared at Shangguan Yuan and was annoyed.

said.

"Master, is it so difficult for beasts to recognize their master?" Shangguan Lu asked thoughtfully and involuntarily.

"Lu Er, now most of the beasts on Kaiyuan Continent cannot recognize their masters. Even the common beasts and wild beasts are like us. Only special relics can recognize their masters because they have special bloodline and have incredible abilities.

"Liu Yan touched Shangguan Lu with his hand, his face full of joy.

"Then Master, what is a relic beast? How to make it recognize its master?" Shangguan Lu asked again.

"Lu Er, you have already read "The Xia Clan" and "Tingxian Shu"!" Liu Yan did not answer Shangguan Lu's question but asked about Shangguan Lu's homework.

"Master, I have finished reading it all."

"Lu'er, Yuan'er, we, Kaiyuan Continent, have too many secrets. In the Records of Xia Ancestors, our Xia Clan's sages fought against the hundreds of tribes and reached an alliance with the hundreds of tribes to establish the Xia Clan's territory, which is now the scope of the Shenque Dynasty. However, according to our Doumen records,

, this battle is not that simple, it should be a battle that shakes the world and weeps ghosts and gods. The mountains and rivers are broken, the sky and the earth change color, that is, the dusk of the residual blood night. Only the events since then are recorded in books, and the things before the residual blood night have not been recorded at all.

Records. The places and things described in many rare books have no trace in the current Shenque Dynasty or even the Tianyuan Continent. A senior innate peak in Doumen spent most of his life trying to confirm it because of his suspicions, but he didn’t know it later.

What happened? He suddenly died inexplicably when he returned to the sect. The seniors in the sect were frightened and warned Doumen disciples to be humble at all times. They also warned the disciples not to touch the mystery of Kaiyuan easily."

"The so-called relic beasts are those beasts with special bloodlines and secret marks that have survived after the Night of Residual Blood until now. In fact, according to ancient books, it is speculated that before the Night of Residual Blood, the beasts should be different according to their bloodlines, but we don't know now.

How to distinguish them, so they are all called relic beasts. There are also celestial beasts, earth beasts and human beasts. Heavenly beasts: can control all aspects of heaven and earth, earth beasts: powerful and tyrannical, human beasts: can be domesticated by humans and eat more grass.

.We usually mention that each beast is treated differently according to the warrior level. The adult flame mastiff beast can be compared to the peak innate warrior. However, due to the special situation of the beast, even the peak innate warrior does not dare to provoke it easily. The cub of the relic beast recognizes its master.

There is no way now. Most people just get cubs and keep them by their side, hoping to be recognized as their owners. In fact, there is no trace of the cubs' recognition of their owners, and each one has its own uniqueness, just like you."

"Master, where is the mountain gate of our sect? I read in the book that all sects have mountain gates." Shangguan Lu asked curiously.

"The people of Doumen are withering away, and there is no sect mountain gate. If there is one, it is this one." Liu Yan pointed at the dilapidated houses around him and said loudly.

"What, Master, this ruined village is our Doumen Mountain Gate?" Shangguan Yuan stood up excitedly.

Liu Yan slapped Shangguan Yuan so hard that he squatted on the ground: "You brat, what are you so excited about? If you break it again, it will be your sect."

"Doumen, there is no mountain gate. I say here because this Zhuangzi is the family fiefdom of your master. I was brought here by the master to teach him martial arts." After saying this, Liu Yan looked a little lonely and his eyes became moist.

"Then why is there no one here now?" Shangguan Yuan asked again.

"You brat, do you still want to know if you need to clean up after listening to this?"

"Master, it's okay, it's okay, hehe, hehe." Shangguan Yuan saw that Master's feet had been raised and he quickly explained.

"Okay, I've already taught you about it. The rest of the sect's classics are all recorded. You can read the books yourself. Come with me." Liu Yan took Shangguan Lu and Shangguan Yuan to the place where they stayed when they first entered Zhuangzi.

In a house, the bed was lifted up, revealing a square hole for one person.

"Okay, inside the cave are the other books in the sect, the notes of the seniors, and insights on practice. Our Doumen is good at practice. These are just random works of the past sect masters and sages. You, master, and I just made them for convenience.

Put it in a hole in the ground, Lu'er can read it now, as for Yuan'er, you'd better finish reading your six books before talking."

"Okay, next, let me test how much energy you have accumulated this year and how is your martial arts training?"

Next, Liu Yan arranged to test the strength of the two apprentices in the school. Because the villa was simple, they could only get a rough test, but the two practitioners of Wu Zhishi were indeed extraordinary. Whether it was the Ba Sword or the Five Elements of Doumen, they were both proficient in it.

Style.

"Lu'er, your accumulated strength should be two dragons and four elephants, and Yuan'er should be two dragons and two elephants. Okay, okay, you two have far more qualifications than this. Don't be in a hurry to understand the form, mind, and energy. Continue

There is no shortcut to accumulating strength and becoming powerful, only through repeated practice."

"But, Master, Yuanzi and I have not felt the increase in strength in the past few days, so how can we accumulate strength?" Shangguan Lu asked in confusion.

"Boy Yuan, go get the two packages I brought back." After Shangguan Yuan carried the packages, Liu Yan took out two gun heads from the package. The shiny black gun heads instantly made Shangguan Lu and Shangguan Yuan

The two brothers were fascinated. It was prismatic, with long flat sides, a cold light flashing from the tip of the gun, and two black and gold sticks. Liu Yan removed the gray cloth from the wrapping, put the gun head on the gun shaft, and handed it to the two brothers respectively.

people.

"The initial savings of strength are almost there. You know how many herbs you have taken this year. Except for the Lord's children or the great sects, there is no martial artist in the Divine Bird Dynasty who can do the same as you."

After Liu Yan finished speaking, he pulled out the spear with his spear and shouted loudly: "The next step is to master the posture."

"Master, how should we practice?" Shangguan Lu also looked forward to it after taking the spear handed over by his master.

"There is nothing else in the practice of momentum but familiarity!"

"Familiar, Master, Brother Lu and I are already very familiar. We have been practicing this year!" Shangguan Yuan gently stroked the spear with his small hand and asked without raising his head.

"When a warrior practices, the heart is the spirit, the energy is the bones, the momentum is the shape, the spirit senses the strength, the bones support the shape, and the momentum controls the strength. What you call familiarity now is just that you can skillfully play the art of momentum, not momentum.

The power of martial arts encompasses thousands of people, and what you are practicing now is just the power skills of your predecessors. If you want to become a true warrior, a great warrior of the generation, you must have your own power." Liu Yan returned to his strict master appearance again, with an extremely serious look on his face.

After having a medicinal meal at noon, the two apprentices took their master to the cave where the Flame Mastiff was found. Although the Flame Mastiff was full of treasures, the human child had already recognized the two treasured apprentices. Liu Yan could not bear to use the Flame Mastiff body anymore, so he let it go.

After being buried, Liu Yan filled all the jade bottles he brought with him with fire flames before leaving.

In the following days, Liu Yan tried many times, but still could not get the third little guy to recognize his master. In desperation, he went down the mountain and asked someone to send it to Qingyang along with a few bottles of Earth Fire, the current situation of the Shangguan brothers and their method of recognizing the master.

Chengsi Zhengfu.

Shangguan Lu and Shangguan Yuan finally understood what the master meant by familiarity. The spear that they once couldn't put down has become the existence they hate the most. The eight positions of the domineering sword are rushing, swinging, cutting, teasing, fighting, hugging, supporting, showing, and Doumen.

The Five Elements and Five Powers of splitting, collapsing, drilling, cannon, and horizontal were practiced thousands of times every day, and the momentum became like two people running into walls and trees, swinging their bodies and hanging on the trees to become swings, and cut into pieces.

Shi became a cook making food for the master... and more and more soft gold was tied to his body. In the end, all the soft gold was used up by the master.

Seeing that the three of them have been practicing and living in the villa for three years, Shangguan Lu and Shangguan Yuan used their hands as blades to slash at the thousand-layer paper with the five-element splitting force. The master said that they would break as many pieces of paper as they wanted. They were accurate and powerful.

The technique has its own spirit in it. Shangguan Lu has a dull temperament and is good at thinking. The technique of force seems to be ordinary, but in fact there are thousands of changes. Shangguan Yuan is free and uninhibited and does not like to be restrained, so the technique of force is light and elegant, and the force of force is murderous.

If the lightness of the wind makes the flowers bloom, it is truly magical.

"Master, Brother Lu and I can't practice any more. Master, why don't you take a look again?" Shangguan Yuan really couldn't bear the boring practice every day, so he ran to his master Liu Yan every two days to beg.

.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go practice sparring."

Liu Yan checked the status of their training every day, and then began to demonstrate in person. Although he did not use weapons, they were all fighting with fists and feet. Shangguan Lu and Shangguan Yuan were beaten to pieces by him every day, and they loved it.

Xi Jinping has advanced thousands of miles with each passing day, and the spirit in his movements has become more profound. When he raises his hands and feet, even though he is in the posture, he already has a trace of the grace of a warrior.

In the following time, the two of them practiced every day, and from time to time they would compete with their master. Every day they were bruised, swollen, and exhausted. It was not until two months later that Liu Yan agreed to let the two use weapons. Shangguan Lu and Shangguan Yuan became the warriors they had been waiting for for a long time.

The competition has finally arrived.
