After Meng Xiuyuan roared to death the Falcon, the roar clearly revealed the approximate location of the three of them.
However, he did not rush to leave with his two children. On the contrary, he sat down and waited deliberately to see if any pursuers would come to the door.
After all, this act of killing the eagle was a warning to the other party not to test him any more.
If the other party sees this and wants to catch up, then it is obvious that they want to track down the three of them.
Under such circumstances, no matter how good-tempered Meng Xiuyuan was and no matter how unwilling he was to cause more trouble, he would not be able to hide any longer.
Fortunately, after waiting for a long time, there was no sign of anyone hearing the sound and looking for it, and everything was quiet in the forest.
Seeing this, Meng Xiuyuan nodded secretly and set off with his two children.
…
After that, the three of them encountered no obstacles on their way back to Wudang Mountain.
If I have to say it, the two children talked all day long and occasionally quarreled with each other, which made Meng Xiuyuan feel helpless.
From Lunan to the west, we went straight to Henan, and after passing Kaifeng, we turned to the southwest. After wandering for more than a month, a few people drove and took a boat, and finally returned to Wudang Mountain safely.
The master was still in retreat as always, so Meng Xiuyuan explained Yin Li's affairs to his senior brother Song Yuanqiao in general, and expressed that he would keep her in the mountain for a while.
After hearing about Yin Li's life experience and seeing her and Zhang Wuji's childhood sweethearts, the senior brother naturally did not stop her. Instead, he enthusiastically arranged a place for Yin Li. In Zhou Zhiruo's yard, the two girls were considered
Become a neighbor.
There were not many people on Wudang Mountain at this time, and most of the Seven Heroes of Wudang, except Song Yuanqiao, who stayed in charge of the sect's affairs and taught three generations of disciples, had gone down the mountain.
Especially Yin Susu, the aunt, also happened to return to the Tianying Sect with Zhang Cuishan, saying that she had been separated from her father, the White-browed Eagle King, for a long time, so not many people paid attention to the addition of twelve more people to the Wudang Sect.
A three-year-old girl.
Only Zhou Zhiruo, as the younger sister who is only one year older, lives in the same courtyard as A Li, so they often interact with each other.
But for some reason, Meng Xiuyuan always felt that the relationship between the two girls had not been very good since they met. Although they occasionally talked to each other, they didn't look very happy.
Meng Xiuyuan didn't have the energy to delve into this, so he just thought it was because their personalities were incompatible and didn't ask any more questions.
After all, the details of the little thoughts teenage girls have about each other would require another book.
In this way, the days continued like this. Except that Zhou Zhiruo ran more diligently towards Meng Xiuyuan, there was not much difference from before going down the mountain.
But one day at noon, there was an episode.
"ah!!!"
While Meng Xiuyuan was refining his Qi in the room, he suddenly heard a scream, which was obviously Zhou Zhiruo's voice.
After Zhou Zhiruo officially became a disciple of Meng Xiuyuan, Zhang Sanfeng placed her in an independent courtyard next to Meng Xiuyuan's room for convenience. The two places were very close to each other.
At this time, Meng Xiuyuan heard Zhou Zhiruo's scream coming from the direction of her room. It was only separated by a few doors. With Meng Xiuyuan's cultivation level, he could naturally hear it very clearly.
Hearing the sound, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel startled. Although he knew rationally that among the Wudang sect, Zhou Zhiruo would most likely not be in any real danger, but when he encountered such a situation, he was still a little anxious.
He quickly guided his true energy back to his Dantian, then opened the door and ran out in an instant.
With the ladder running at full speed, Meng Xiuyuan was as fast as a phantom in the wind. In just one breath, he jumped over the wall and entered the small courtyard that was the "girls dormitory".
"Zhiruo, what happened?"
When Meng Xiu saw Zhou Zhiruo, his face turned pale with fright, and he even held the sword in his hand. He couldn't help but ask.
"She...she's going to let a spider bite me!"
When Zhou Zhiruo heard Meng Xiuyuan's voice, her panicked heart immediately calmed down, and she turned to A Li who was aside and complained to Meng Xiuyuan.
A Li was very disdainful when he heard this. He twisted his mouth and explained in a slightly weird way:
"Master Meng, your disciple is too timid.
I just kindly took out my baby to show her, but she made a fuss and was so scared that my baby could no longer run away.
Humph, I worked hard to raise those colorful spiders, and there is nowhere to catch them in Wudang Mountain.
If I bite myself, I don’t have enough supply, so how can I bear to bite her?”
Zhou Zhiruo saw that A Li was taking it for granted, but he couldn't understand her words. She couldn't help but frown and asked:
"Why do you want that spider to bite you...ah!!"
Just as he was saying this, he saw a spider the size of a thumb crawling out from under the bed and heading straight for Zhou Zhiruo, scaring her so much that she screamed. The spider's back was colorful and eye-catching, and it was obviously extremely poisonous.
Although Zhou Zhiruo has practiced kung fu quite well, she is still a little girl after all. Especially now that Meng Xiuyuan is by her side, she naturally feels dependent. So she was startled by the spider and pounced on Meng Xiuyuan, hoping to take advantage of it.
Come and escape this scary poisonous insect.
Meng Xiujian couldn't laugh or cry at the sight. He waved his sleeves and used the power of his palm to blow the spider on the ground back into A Li's box.
At this moment, Zhang Wuji hurriedly ran in from the door. He immediately saw Zhou Zhiruo hanging on Meng Xiuyuan and was a little puzzled:
"Uncle Junior, what's going on?"
"It's okay." Meng Xiuyuan shook his head calmly, and then patted Zhou Zhiruo, who was still leaning on him:
"Okay, I've already taken care of the spider. What's it like?"
When Zhou Zhiruo heard the sound, she also knew that her reaction was a bit excessive and she lost her sense of control in front of the master. She quickly let go and jumped down, lowering her head and blushing to accept the lesson humbly.
A Li, who was opposite him, saw Zhou Zhiruo's behavior and knew that she was really afraid of spiders. After all, he didn't want to be misunderstood, so he deliberately said:
"Hmph, don't let people think I'm talking big, just watch it."
After saying that, she immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and put two fingers into the box containing the colorful spider.
"Ah, don't..." Zhang Wuji was startled when he saw this, and hurriedly tried to stop him, but it was too late. Zhou Zhiruo was so frightened by this scene that she closed her eyes and did not dare to look directly.
Only Meng Xiuyuan knew it well. Although he didn't like the way of practicing poisonous skills, he didn't have any special reaction.
The next moment, I saw a pair of flower spiders in the box slowly crawling closer and biting two of A Li's fingers respectively. She took a deep breath, her arms trembled slightly, and she used her internal energy to fight against the spider poison.
The flower spider sucked the blood from her fingers for food, but the blood circulation in A Li's finger also brought the venom from the flower spider's body back into his own blood.
In this way, A Li did not die from the poison immediately, but at the same time, his eyebrows and temples on both sides were lightly covered with a layer of black air.
There was a painful expression on his face, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.
After a while, Ali retracted his fingers and continued to exercise for a while. Then the black air on his face gradually receded and the blood returned.
"How about it, I didn't lie to you." A Li got up and said the first thing to Zhou Zhiruo.
"Well, I'm sorry..." Zhou Zhiruo also knew that she had misunderstood someone, so she quickly lowered her head and admitted her mistake.
Seeing this, Zhang Wuji hurriedly passed Meng Xiuyuan and Zhou Zhiruo, ran straight to A Li, and said to her with concern:
"Ali, there are so many martial arts in the world, why do you have to practice this poisonous technique?
This spider venom is extremely powerful. If you inhale it into your body, although you have ways to resist it, it will not do any good after a long time."
Hearing this, Meng Xiuyuan shook his head secretly, thinking that Zhang Wuji's words sounded a bit like "Why not eat minced meat"? After all, A Li didn't have the "Nine Yang Magic" training like him.
But A Li himself didn’t take it seriously and said proudly:
"There are certainly many martial arts in the world, but which one can match my ability to defeat thousands of poisonous spiders? Don't rely on your own internal strength. If I master this martial art, you may not be able to stop me.
A poke of the finger.”
As she spoke, she concentrated her energy on her finger and poked the wooden table next to her, leaving a shallow fingerprint crack on the table.
Such power is indeed quite good at her age.
However, Meng Xiuyuan glanced at her and saw through her skill, and couldn't help but shook his head again.
Inhaling the poison into the body and forcing oneself to use Qigong to resist. Such external force will indeed accelerate the speed of refining the true energy, which is somewhat similar to the effect of the cold jade bed in the ancient tomb.
It’s just that this is a heresy after all. Over time, the accumulation of toxins will damage the foundation of the body. Not only will the face be ugly, but it will also prevent the person from practicing to a truly advanced state. The further you go, the harder it will be to make a breakthrough.
"Mr. Meng, what, do you think what I said is wrong?" A Li felt a little unconvinced when he saw Meng Xiuyuan shaking his head:
"Don't think I can't do it now, it's because I'm young and my skills are not deep enough.
When I work hard, suck up the venom of a thousand spiders in ten years, and perfect this skill, maybe even you won’t dare to stop me!"
After hearing what she said, Meng Xiuyuan just smiled slightly and did not want to argue with the child. On the contrary, Zhou Zhiruo was a little angry and said to A Li very seriously:
"Sister A Li, even in a hundred years you will not be able to compare with my master.
My master's martial arts skills are world-class, and the only one who can be said to be better than him is Taishifu."
A Li frowned when he heard the sound, and wanted to argue with Zhou Zhiruo. But Zhou Zhiruo stopped talking and directly pointed his finger at the wooden table using the "One Yang Finger" technique.
Her finger landed just next to A Li's fingerprint. Although it only stirred up a few sawdust, it obviously penetrated deeper than A Li's.
Seeing this situation, Ah Li almost felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
She was tortured while practicing "Thousands of Spiders and Ten Thousand Poisonous Hands", and was destined to become an ugly monster in the future, just to become a martial arts master and gain the ability to avenge her father, she was willing to accept all these.
But who would have thought that after paying so much price, he would still be inferior to a little girl of his own age.
At this moment, A Li only felt that all his efforts were in vain, that there was no hope for the future, and the pain in his heart was unspeakable.
Zhang Wuji felt uncomfortable seeing A Li like this, and couldn't help turning his head to Meng Xiuyuan for help:
"Uncle Master, can you also teach A Li some skills?
Just like Brother Zhu and Brother Ji, you also set some conditions for A Li to complete and give her some tasks to do.
This way she doesn’t have to practice this poisonous technique anymore…”
But as soon as he said this, before Meng Xiuyuan could say anything, Zhou Zhiruo clenched his fists next to him. He looked at Zhang Wuji fiercely with his big eyes. Although he didn't speak, his aura seemed to rush up at any time and hit him hard.
Just poke it hard with a few fingers.
Zhang Wuji's back felt cold when he saw this, and he didn't know why his words offended his junior sister.
Meng Xiuyuan did not see Zhou Zhiruo's expression and only said lightly to Yin Li:
"If she promises me to do something in the future, it's not impossible.
I do have two idle martial arts that I have no use for, I acquired them accidentally by traveling around the world.
Although I can’t say how powerful it will be after you master it, it will at least be better than those poisonous spiders. It shouldn’t be a problem to deal with people who are now known as the top masters in the world.”
In fact, Meng Xiuyuan is still aware of Yin Li's personality and conduct.
Although this little girl talks a bit loudly and has an extreme personality, she is actually quite kind and upright in nature.
Coupled with her stubborn character, both innate and acquired, there are indeed some things that are best left to her to do.
When A Li heard Meng Xiuyuan's words, although he did not answer immediately, his eyes sparkled and he was obviously very moved.
…
That night, Meng Xiuyuan finished meditating and was about to take a rest when he heard a series of footsteps outside the door from far to near. Then his door was lightly knocked, the sound was intermittent, and it seemed that the person outside the door was obviously nervous and hesitant.
"It's okay, come in."
Meng Xiuyuan didn't think much and said.
Unexpectedly, as the door opened, it was his young apprentice Zhou Zhiruo who walked in.
"What's wrong with coming here so late?" Meng Xiuyuan asked in confusion.
"Master, I can't sleep, but I just want to ask you something..." Zhou Zhiruo hesitated for a long time, and finally asked.
"Were you frightened by spiders during the day? Ask a question or something, just say it." Meng Xiuyuan said with a smile.
Ever since the master and apprentice became familiar, Zhou Zhiruo rarely looked like this in front of him.
"Well... I just want to ask, master, are you planning to accept sister Yin Li as your disciple?" Although he heard what Meng Xiuyuan said, Zhou Zhiruo still hesitated in his words.
"What makes you think about asking this?"
Meng Xiuyuan became increasingly puzzled, wondering why Zhou Zhiruo, an apprentice, should care about this matter.
Is it like an only child who doesn't want younger siblings and wants his parents to take care of him wholeheartedly?
Thinking about this, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel a little funny, thinking that this little girl's mind was really sensitive, and things that were obviously without any consequences could actually make him unable to sleep.
Seeing that Zhou Zhiruo still refused to answer and kept hesitating after being asked, Meng Xiuyuan simply laughed and took the initiative to comfort him:
"Okay, what are you thinking about?
Didn't I say it during the day, I just wanted her to do something for me, and if she agreed, I would teach her two martial arts skills, it was not really about recruiting a disciple.
Besides, you are my first disciple. Even if I really accept another disciple in the future, I will never leave your martial arts behind.
After all, you want to pass on my unique skills and make them flourish.
If I can't teach you well, I, the master, will be embarrassed."
When Zhou Zhiruo heard this, she didn't know what good news she wanted, and she immediately became happy.
Without asking any more questions, she saluted Meng Xiuyuan with a smile and said goodbye. Then she turned around and left, not forgetting to close the door thoughtfully.
Meng Xiu couldn't help but laugh when he saw Zhou Zhiruo's cute appearance.
Only then did he figure out why the relationship between Zhou Zhiruo and Na Ali had not been very good during this period of time.
It seems that Zhou Zhiruo was petty this time, thinking that Meng Xiuyuan brought A Li back to the mountain just because he wanted to accept him as his disciple just like she did.
At this point, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel a little helpless. It seemed that his character as a worry-free disciple was not completely without bad qualities.
At least, this possessiveness is too strong.
Starting tomorrow, the plot should start to accelerate.
