soul shifting

Chapter 10

That young man was just at the age of growth, and his height had grown too fast in a short period of time, and his flesh could not keep up, so he was not very thin.However, he has a very flattering little round face, and his eyes are a bit half-closed and hazy, which is very fairy-like when you look closely.

Elder Shen waved at him: "Ah Ming, come here." He pointed to Shen An: "This is Shen An, hall master Shen, one of my best disciples, who leads the Huoyun Mountain Villa How about you follow him to practice martial arts in the future?"

A Ming clasped his fists in both hands, respectfully said: "The disciple has met Hall Master Shen."

"Excuse me, excuse me," Shen An choked on a huge shrimp, and hammered his chest hard: "Did Elder Shen help you choose weapons?"

"Not yet selected." Amin said.

"It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day, let's choose now, and I will watch over you with Hall Master Shen." Elder Shen gestured to the servant: "Go and push the weapon rack over."

The Shen residence's weapons had been racked for a long time, and a thick layer of dust had accumulated, but the weapons were all of high quality, and after the servants wiped the dust clean, there was no trace of rust on them.Shen An asked Amin to do a few movements, and then touched his joints and muscles: "The range of motion of the joints is large, and the flexibility is very good... The muscles in the legs are arranged in a normal way... The muscles in the upper arms are not bad. In the future, your arms will be stronger than your legs. More powerful. Long weapons such as spears and sticks are not suitable for you, other weapons, which one do you like?"

Amin blinked, and picked up a long bow with simple patterns: "This disciple is born with excellent eyesight, so I want to use a bow and arrow."

"Sure, shoot an arrow first and let me see." Shen An pointed to an old tree in the woods: "Just over there, shoot the boil on that tree."

Amin breathed a sigh of relief, tensed his arms and pulled the bowstring forcefully, and Xiaoyuan's face quickly flushed red.

Did not pull away.Amin frowned.

"Let me see, maybe the string is too tight." Shen An said, took the longbow and tried it out by himself.

The bowstring was so tight that even he, a young man with strong martial arts and profound internal energy, could hardly pull it. In order not to lose face in front of his disciples, he gritted his teeth and pulled it away fiercely, using all his strength.The moment the longbow was fully drawn, the bowstring suddenly trembled violently, and a sharp whistling sounded suddenly, like a falcon singing.

"?!?" Shen An was taken aback, almost dropped his bow, and the feathered arrow on the string flew straight out, hitting the thick old tree with three people hugging each other. There was a loud thunder, and the old tree It was broken into two pieces.

Depend on!

"...Elder Shen, what kind of bow is this him???" Shen An was dumbfounded.

Elder Shen was also taken aback, turned his head and glared at the servant: "Why did you take out the Suming Bow?"

The servant kept bowing like he was eating rice: "I'm sorry elder, the little one is damned, there are too many things in the warehouse and I accidentally took the wrong one! The little one is damned!"

Elder Shen waved his hand with a headache, asking him to take away the astonishingly powerful bow, but Amin stepped forward to stop the servant: "Elder Shen, can you give this bow to disciple? It shouldn't be put in the warehouse to shed ashes, if the elders are useless, will it be cheaper for the disciples? Amin must be very grateful."

"It's...it's not that I don't want to give it to you," Elder Shen smiled apologetically, "It's just that the Suming Bow is too dangerous to control, and your ability is not enough to control it now. Wait until you practice archery well." , I'll give it to you again."

Amin clasped his fists excitedly: "Thank you Elder Shen! This disciple must work harder!"

After helping A Ming choose the weapon, and having dinner at the Shen Mansion, Shen An finally returned home with his newly recruited disciple.By the time they returned to Huoyun Villa, it was already completely dark.Shen An asked the servant to arrange a student dormitory for A Ming, and went back to the house to take a bath in a dusty body.

Amin didn't bring any baggage, only one person and a longbow in total, and moved into the new room lightly.There are two people in the dormitory, and there is a bed on the east and west sides, and there is a person on the east side who is sneaking around and doing something.

"Cough!" Amin cleared his throat vigorously, and the man was so frightened that he rolled directly from the bed to the ground.

It doesn't look good at first sight.

"...Who are you, are you sick!" The man quickly stood up and cursed angrily.

"I'm a new student today." Amin said, "What are you doing in my room?"

"New here? Just take care of yourself!" The man spat, and walked away at the pace of [-] that he thought he was dragging, but actually seemed to be going insane.A Ming glanced at him coolly, and closed the door.He checked the bed on the east side and found a large handful of steel needles sprinkled under the bedding.

"Ha, your hands are quite dark." Amin thought.It took him an incense stick of time to carefully pick out the pile of steel needles, preparing to sell his new roommate a favor, and then wandering to the kitchen following the smell of food, preparing to find some supper.

There was a large basket of Sydney pears in the kitchen, and Amin picked three juicy and plump pears, peeled off the hard skin, and cut them into small round balls.After cutting it, he dug out the rock sugar from the cabinet, crushed it and sprinkled it on the pears, and it became a plate of cool and sweet rock sugar pears.

Holding rock sugar pear balls, A Ming asked the servants for directions, and arrived at Shen An's private courtyard.

"Master Shen, I'm A Ming, and I'm here to bring you a plate of pears to eat."

A green voice came from outside the door, accompanied by a light knock on the door.

Shen An said loudly: "Wait a moment!"

Amin heard the sound of splashing water coming from the room, followed by the crackling and crackling of the wet bare feet stepping on the floor.Shen An and Han Xiuyu had just finished bathing, and now both of them are naked/naked.

Shen An picked up Han Xiuyu from the tub, wrapped him tightly with a towel, and put him on the bed: "Dry your hair first, and I'll dress you later."

A Ming waited for a while, Shen An opened the door, his clothes were very disheveled... No, he didn't wear any clothes at all, he only wore a cloth scarf around his waist to hide his shame, his whole body was dripping wet, and there was a shape on his forearm A simple tattoo, the pattern consists of four lines, a cross in the middle, and two symmetrical semi-arcs next to it, a bit like the Pisces symbol with a vertical line in the middle.

"...Sorry for disturbing Master Shen to take a bath." A Ming put the pears on the table and wanted to withdraw quickly, but was grabbed by Shen An.

"They're all men, what's there to be shy about?" Shen An took a pear ball and chewed it loudly: "These two days are holidays at the end of the month, and most of the disciples are away. I'll introduce you at the beginning of next month." Get to know them. Let’s get to know Han Xiuyu first today, he is my friend’s son.”

Shen An helped Han Xiuyu change his clothes, the candlelight by the bedside shone on his arm, and the tattoo faintly shone with dark purple fluorescence.

Every disciple who joins the Promise Sect has such a special tattoo on his arm. It usually looks black, but if you look at it against the light, you will see a faint fluorescence.For some unknown reason, although the pigments used are the same, the fluorescent color of each tattoo is different. Shen An's is an elegant deep purple, Yao Bingqing's is dark green, and Elder Shen's is dark.

"Xiao Yu, let me introduce a new friend to you." Shen An said to Han Xiuyu, "His name is A Ming, and he is my new student today."

Han Xiuyu closed his eyes and smiled: "Hello, my name is Han Xiuyu."

"...Hello, cough," Amin's voice suddenly became hoarse for some reason, and he coughed hard for several times before his voice returned to normal: "Do you want to eat pears? Eating pears in autumn will reduce the fire."

The three chatted while eating, and the pears on the plate quickly bottomed out.

……

The next day.

It was late autumn, and it was cold and windy. Two people in cloaks walked slowly on the streets of Chiyuan Town.Most of the old trees on the street have lost their leaves, and their bare branches are shivering in the cold wind.The mountains in the distance stand upright, and the white clouds press down on the edge of the peak like thick smoke.The blue color of the mountain has faded, and sometimes a few steep bare rocks are exposed, sometimes surrounded by gray clouds and mist, making people suspect that there will be a cold autumn rain pouring down in the next moment.

The autumn scenery was bleak, but it didn't affect the enthusiasm of the vendors to do business at all.The food stalls on the street are focusing on cold food, and there are several new seasonal snacks, all of which are eye-catching, such as a cute red date and chestnut cake, which smells very delicious.

Shen An, wearing an indigo cloak, obeyed the call of the food, floated to the side of the stall, sniffed the sweet smell, showing an intoxicated expression, and the stall owner quickly said: "Our red dates and chestnut cakes are all made and sold on the spot. It's sweet, would you like to try it?"

Shen An picked up a small cake and tasted it carefully.

The skin of the pastry is a puff pastry made of flour mixed with chestnuts, and the filling is a pitted red date with a little honey in the middle.

Shen An smacked his lips, and said matter-of-factly: "It's delicious." He took out a money bag from his waist, and said, "Give me half a catty."

Yao Bingqing, who was wearing a white cloak, pouted: "Don't eat too much, you have to eat later."

Shen An smiled and said: "Don't worry, my stomach is a bottomless pit." A piece of jujube skin was stuck on his teeth, which made the two neat front teeth whiter, like two pieces of radiant white jade.

Shen An handed the pastry to Yao Bingqing: "Elder Yao will also try a piece, it's really delicious."

Yao Bingqing took the piece of fragrant and soft cake, tasted it carefully on the tip of his tongue, and found that it was really delicious.While eating, she said, "It's quite cold outside, let's go into the shop to avoid the wind."

Shen An said: "Okay."

The two visited the jewelry store first, and then went to the blacksmith's shop to maintain their weapons.Shen An's chills lay in the mound of the Martial arts field for a long time last time, two grains of sand got into the spring, and it has not been dealt with, and it is always a little awkward to move.The blacksmith hooked the sand out with silk washing thread, and then applied a little strong lubricating oil to Han Chan, finally allowing it to dredge its muscles and bones and restore its heroic qualities.

It was a bit cloudy today, with cotton-like clouds covering the entire sky, and even at noon, there was not much sunshine.When the meal time came, Shen An and Yao Bingqing walked side by side to Qionglou, preparing to have a sumptuous lunch.

On the high platform in the hall on the first floor of Qionglou, an old storyteller was spitting and telling a story: "I saw the ice hero jumping up, using only one finger to pull out the sword stuck in the wall, and slamming cut……"

The protagonist of this exaggerated story is a nameless folk hero who is known as the Ice Hero by the world. It is not known whether such a person really exists or is made up by those idlers who are full of food.Whether the protagonist of the story is real or not is unknown, but the big villain in the story, Luo Yuxuan, the Ice Hero's nemesis, is indeed a real person.

According to legend, this Luo Yuxuan was exceptionally talented and a prodigy in kung fu practice, but his intentions were not righteous, and his methods were cruel and vicious, so he soon became a public enemy of the whole people.Some people say that he was defeated by various sects, and others say that Ice Hero defeated him alone. In short, he was finally suppressed in a secret cave. It has been more than 20 years, and the specific situation has long been unknown. .

The old man's talk is all old sesame seeds and rotten millet. Everyone has long been tired of hearing it, and there are very few people who join in.A few young disciples from Huoyun Villa sat on the bench, listening to each other while eating melon seeds.Even though they had dinner the night before, they didn't make it to the Xiangmantang, so they were still unwilling, so they came together early this morning, planning to go to the Xiangmantang as soon as the rich girl left.

Shen An and Yao Bingqing chatted and chatted, and soon arrived at the gate of Qionglou.

The owner of Qionglou set up a tea shed at the entrance and provided free hot tea to passers-by throughout the day.A middle-aged man was sitting in a tea shed drinking tea.He put a warm cloak on his arms and only wore a long shirt, and he was sweating profusely in the cold autumn wind.

When the middle-aged man saw the two people approaching, he quickly swallowed the hot tea in his mouth, and stared at the hot tea.He stood up bluffing and shouted: "Master Shen! After searching for a long time, I have found you."

Shen An saw that this person was a servant of his manor, so he asked, "What happened?"

The servant rubbed his throat and said, "The back door was broken."

Shen An frowned: "But what's missing?"

The servant shook his head: "It's not lost, the door was pried open from the inside."

In order to prevent disciples from sneaking down the mountain, locks were installed on both sides of the back door of Huoyun Villa.But today is still a holiday, and the disciples can enter and leave the villa freely, who would be too busy to pry the back door instead of going through the front door?

The servant continued: "We have already checked, and there are quite a lot of items in the village, but Han Xiuyu has disappeared, and with him is the new disciple A Ming who arrived yesterday."

Shen An frowned: "I'll go back and have a look."

What's the matter?Kidnap?Play truant? ……elopement?Shen An really didn't have a clue.He threw the red date and chestnut cake into Yao Bingqing's arms: "I'm sorry, Elder Yao, I have to go back and find out what's going on. I can't accompany you to eat and go shopping. Let this cake be my apology!"

Yao Bingqing stretched out Erkang's hand: "But I..." Before she could finish speaking, Shen An had already walked away with the wind on her feet.

But I specially prepared Le Xiaoyao for you...

In the empty incense-filled hall, the refreshing incense burns lonely.

There are wood in the mountains and branches in the wood, and the heart is happy and the king does not know.

The gray and white clouds gradually gathered and condensed into a thick piece, completely covering the sun; the soil exuded a faint fishy smell, damp and gloomy.A group of ants quickly crawled across the ground, carrying leaves and insect remains, and rushed to the high ground in a hurry.

Cold rain is coming.
