Xu Xiaorou sat at the end, driving two pulp ...... Shake it gently...... The boat swings to the water and grass on the shore and heads leisurely towards the lake.

Zhang Qiaoyi stood at the bow of the boat and looked into the distance, her light green shirt fluttering.

He Ruoshui sat down, stretched out his hand and bent down to pluck the water, and his body formed a graceful arc force

The moist wind blowing from the surface of the lake, and the fishy smell are refreshing and refreshing.

"Senior Sister Zhang, where is our Xinghu Xiaozhu?" Lin Ping asked cautiously, tense.

Zhang Wuyi turned her head, and the breeze ruffled her hair.

She stroked her index finger through her hair and smiled: "In the east, not far, I'll see you soon." ”

Xu Xiaorou gently shook the oars, and Xiao Dan was like an arrow from the string, getting faster and faster, blowing everyone's clothes fluttering, like walking against the wind.

Li Muchan's empty eye looks down, the smoke waves are vast, the lake is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, and occasionally there are lotus flowers in a clump, such as a few white clouds in the blue sky.

As the boat departed, he slowly saw a small island, standing alone in the middle of the lake, and there were houses and pavilions on the lake, along which the island was built.

Getting closer, the island is surrounded by mountains.

"Senior Sister Zhang, are we on the island?" Li Muchan suddenly asked.

Zhang Qiaoyi smiled and nodded: "Yes, our Star Lake Xiaozhu is located on an island. ”

"How big?" asked Li Muchan.

"Well...... "It's fifty miles north and south." Zhang Qiaoyi said.

"It turned out to be a world of its own. Li Muchan said with a smile.

Zhang Qiaoyi nodded: "Yes, the people of our Xinghu Xiaozhu can be self-sufficient, they don't have to rely on the outside world, and the terrain is excellent, easy to defend and difficult to attack." ”

Lin Ping said: "Can't our disciples of Xinghu Xiaozhu leave?"

"No one cares about this, as long as you practice to the fifth grade, you can do whatever you want, or live in the lake, or leave and start a family. Zhang Qiaoyi said.

Lin Ping breathed a sigh of relief, causing Xu Xiaorou's white eyes.

Zhang Qiaoyi smiled and said, "However, most of the disciples eventually returned to the lake, the outside world is too sinister, and it is not as quiet and peaceful as ours on the lake. ”

"Isn't there a dispute on the lake?" Lin Ping asked.

Zhang Qiaoyi said: "In our lake, the lake owner is shrugging, everyone only listens to the lake owner's orders, the lake owner usually doesn't care about anything, if there is any big thing, everyone discusses it together, just like a family."

Lin Ping thought about it and nodded slowly, this is really good, people in the martial arts are the most uncontrollable, the less discipline the freer, the more I like it.

Zhang Qiaoyi pursed her lips and smiled: "In the future, you will know, the people in the outside world are sinister, and they are deceitful, but there is no such thing in the lake, everyone lives quietly, and they practice their own martial arts without disturbing each other............ Young people will get bored, go out for a walk, and eventually return to the lake, like a tired bird returning to the forest. ”

"Yes...... Li Muchan sighed, tired birds will eventually return to the forest.

......

Several people spoke...... "The boat moved lightly, and after a while, a small island appeared in front of me, and water pavilions were all around the island.

Lin Pingyun looked at it with all his eyes and exclaimed: "These water Xie are very good, living on them, they are really like immortals, and they are at ease." ”

"These are the Juchu ...... of the six grades and the upper disciples," Zhang Qiaoyi said.

Lin Ping was puzzled: "Disciples above the sixth grade?"

Zhang Qiaoyi said: "Disciples below the sixth rank can only live in the courtyard on the island, and have no right to live on the lake. ”

"What about the six-rank disciples?" Lin Ping asked.

Zhang Qiaoyi said: "Six-grade disciples can also live on the lake. ”

"Then I must become a six-rank disciple as soon as possible!" Lin Ping exclaimed.

Zhang Qiaoyi said with a smile: "Senior Brother Lin, you have a good foundation, and it won't be long before you become a six-rank disciple." ”

"What about Senior Brother Li?" Lin Ping looked at Li Muchan.

Zhang Wuyi looked at Li Muchan and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Li's qualifications are excellent, and it won't be too long, but unfortunately there is no internal strength, and if you have to start from scratch, it will slow down your progress." ”

Li Muchan said with a smile: "It doesn't matter where I live, I usually live alone in the mountains, but now I can get together with everyone." ”

"That's good. Zhang Qiaoyi smiled.

Li Muchan faintly understands that living together below the sixth grade is not a small place and nowhere to place, but it is very deep-minded, one is to arouse the motivation to climb upward, and the other is to cultivate feelings.

Killing two birds with one stone, it is a good way.

As the boat approached, the island gradually became clear, revealing its outline, and the whole island was covered with greenery and life. The island is surrounded by huts, or small pavilions, dotted around, a trestle bridge four or five meters wide stretches out for a hundred meters, and several small boats are parked next to it.

As soon as the boat of several people approached, a young man from each of the two water pavilions at the front looked mediocre, and the two of them hugged their fists together and laughed: "Senior Sister Zhang, Senior Sister He, Senior Sister Xu, you are back!",

"Senior Brother Song, Senior Brother Zhao, is the Lake Master out of the customs?" Zhang Qiaoyi smiled and clenched her fists.

The slightly older young man shook his head, he was dressed in a green shirt, and he had a bit of scholarly elegance: "The lake master is still in retreat, these two are new junior disciples?"

"Yes, this time I was lucky, and two junior brothers came in at once. Zhang Qiaoyi nodded.

The young man's warm eyes glanced at Li Muchan and Lin Ping, and said with a smile: It's really gratifying, I haven't recruited junior brothers and sisters in the past few years, let's all look forward to it. ”

Li Muchan hugged his fists and saluted, smiling silently, Lin Ping squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the two.

......

He was very disappointed in his heart, he thought that the disciples of Xinghu Xiaozhu were radiant and radiant, just like Senior Sister Zhang, but now it seems that this is not the case.

The two hugged their fists, returned the salute to Li Muchan, smiled and nodded at Lin Ping, very kind.

Zhang Qiaoyi said: "This is Senior Brother Li Zhuli, this is Senior Brother Lin Pinglin, both of them have excellent qualifications, and they will also be disciples above the sixth grade in the future!"

"That's good!" said the two of them.

Zhang Qiaoyi smiled: "Let's not talk about it yet, let's go in." ”

The two youths clasped their fists and smiled, and then went back to their respective huts and did not move.

Lin Ping asked, "Senior Sister Zhang, are these two senior brothers practicing swords?"

He noticed that the two men had swords at their waists, not knives.

"Yes, they practice swords. Zhang Qiaoyi nodded.

Lin Ping was surprised: "Male disciples can also practice swords?"

"Who said that male disciples can't practice swords?" Zhang Qiaoyi asked with a smile.

Lin Ping said: "I heard that the swordsmanship of Xinghu Xiaozhu needs to be practiced by women, and men can only practice swordsmanship. ”

Zhang Qiaoyi shook her head and smiled: "There are all kinds of martial arts in our lake, everyone practices differently, the lake master will teach according to his aptitude, practicing sword or swordsmanship, it all depends on personal liking." ”

"That's ......," Lin Ping hesitated.

"It is rumored outside that only women can practice the swordsmanship of our Xinghu Xiaozhu to the fullest, and men can only practice swordsmanship, but it is a big fallacy. Zhang Qiaoyi said with a smile.

"Over...... The wind ...... out of nowhere," Lin Ping said.

Zhang Qiaoyi shook her head: "The sword technique is the learning of fierceness, the swordsmanship is light, the women are congenitally deficient in practicing the sword, but the men are different, but learning the sword or learning the sword still likes the lake master will not be reluctant to ......"...... There is a set of sword techniques in the Liupin martial arts, which is powerful and the moves are simple Most male disciples have learned it, revealing it to the outside world, giving people an illusion. ”

"So that's ......," Lin Ping breathed a sigh of relief.

He has been practicing swords since he was a child, and he likes to practice swords, but he really doesn't want to change his sword practice, and he has always looked down on swords, thinking that he is too vulgar and not elegant enough.

On the way to Xinghu Xiaozhu, he had been worried about being forced to change his knife practice, but now after listening to Zhang Qiaoyi's words, he finally put his mind at ease.

Zhang Qiaoyi glanced at him, pursed her lips and smiled: "Knife and swordsmanship, there is no superiority, it all depends on who is the person who is practicing, like Xizhao Wulin, there is a master of swordsmanship, and there are few opponents in the world." ”

"Yes, yes. Lin Ping nodded.

Seeing that he was careless, Zhang Qiaoyi didn't say more, the boat had already docked the trestle.

Zhang Qiaoyi smiled after jumping on the trestle bridge lightly: "Two junior brothers, let Rou'er take you to settle down, the lake master may not be able to get out of the customs in a few days." ”

"Yes. Li Muchan smiled: "Thank you Senior Sister Zhang for taking care of you all the way." ”

......

After a few words of greeting, everyone separated, Xu Xiaorou took Li Muchan and Lin Ping to embark on a mountain path, bluestone steps, trails, etc., surrounded by lush pine trees and fresh air.

Halfway up the mountain, Xu Xiaorou turned to the west, came to a large courtyard, and stepped into the gate directly into a martial arts training ground, where more than a dozen disciples were practicing.

Hearing the movement, they all stopped and turned their heads to look.

A burly young man stepped forward and said in surprise, "Senior Sister Xu, why are you back?"

This young man was tall and burly, with a slightly dark complexion...... looked dignified, looking at Xu Xiaorou excitedly.

Xu Xiaorou said: "Senior Brother Chang, there are two new junior brothers, this is Senior Brother Li Zhuli and Senior Brother Lin Pinglin. ”

Everyone gathered around and looked at the two enthusiastically.

"Okay, Senior Sister Xu, leave it to us, don't worry. Senior Brother Chang patted his chest and said with a smile: "You go back and rest first." ”

Xu Xiaorou nodded, turned to Li Muchan and said, "Senior Brother Li, they are all very good, you can stay in peace, the lake lord will personally teach you martial arts in a few days." ”

"Good. Li Muchan smiled and nodded, looking calm.

Lin Ping hurriedly said, "Senior Sister Xu, do you want to go back again?"

Xu Xiaorou shook her head: "When the lake master is out of the customs, listen to the lake master's orders." ”

"That's ......," Lin Ping said disappointedly.

Senior Brother Chang came over and patted Lin Ping's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Lin, don't worry, we will be a family in the future, and it will be easy to see Senior Sister Xu."

As he spoke, he smiled with a wink.

Lin Ping was stunned, a little unaccustomed to being tapped on the shoulder, and smiled reluctantly.

Li Muchan looked at everyone with a smile and didn't speak, but Lin Ping was a little cramped.

"Alright, I'll come back to see you tomorrow. Xu Xiaorou smiled and turned to leave.

Everyone immediately laughed and laughed, surrounding Li Muchan and Lin Ping, very enthusiastic. (To be continued)
