Moonlight and wind

"I heard that the eldest young master of Xueying Hall, Shan Zimo, is an uneducated playboy and a frequent visitor to Jinxiufang," said a beautiful lady in Fengyi Palace who was wearing extremely luxurious clothes and was drinking tea. She was Emperor Wu's favorite concubine, Empress Jing. "With such a character, is he worthy of Jinyu?"

"Your Majesty, the person His Majesty likes must have outstanding qualities." The eunuch on the side said with a flattering smile.

"How is his skill? How is his fighting ability?" "According to what I have learned, Shan Zimo is now a fourth-class fighter, a martial arts master. The unique thing about this man is that," the eunuch stepped forward, leaned over and whispered, "the unique thing is that he has a rare pure yang body!"

"Pure Yang Body?" Madam Mei adjusted the phoenix hairpin on her head. "After the wedding, once the Pure Yang Body is broken, won't his martial arts be weakened?"

"That's right," the father-in-law answered after thinking for a while.

"You don't have to worry about these," a strong and powerful voice came, and the maids knelt down one after another. Madam Mei stood up and saluted, "Get up!" The person who came was Emperor Wu.

"Why don't you make a bet with me, my beloved concubine? The person I choose for Jin Yu is definitely a character!" "If your majesty says yes, then it must be!" Empress Jing said no more.

The atmosphere in Xue Ji Hall was extremely tense. Shan Tianxiang, who was sitting at the very top, had a grim face as he looked at Shan Zimo and Shan Boyu, who were kneeling together on the ground.

"You've become more capable?" Shan Tianxiang's loud voice rang out, frightening Shan Boyu so much that he shuddered, "You sneaked down the mountain and went to Wudu to cause trouble!"

"Brother," the Second Hall Master waved his hand, "It's nothing serious."

"Isn't it a big deal? Your Majesty knows that he was so bold as to break into the residence of a third-rank official of the imperial court at night. In his opinion, what else is a big deal?" Shan Tianxiang slammed his hand on the table, and the third hall master who was about to plead for him stopped talking.

"Someone come!" Shan Tianxiang shouted to the outside, "Take Shan Boyu to the Punishment Hall and give him twenty strokes of the cane! Don't you know how to persuade and stop this brat from going down the mountain to cause trouble?"

"I know my mistake and am willing to accept the punishment." Shan Boyu was taken away by two Hanyu disciples.

"As for you..." Shan Tianxiang narrowed his eyes and looked at Shan Zimo who was still kneeling, "Zi Yu!" Zi Yu ran up and stood with his hands hanging down.

"Take this brat to the Hanyu Lake in the back mountain! Let him soak in it for three days and three nights! This will help him sober up!" "Yes! Hall Master!"

"Brother!" Shan Tianao and Shan Tianxiao stood up together, "Just give him a slight punishment. This Hanyu Lake is even colder than the extremely cold water! Last time he soaked in it for a day and a night, it almost cost him his life. You still want to punish him to soak in it for three days and three nights. Think twice, brother!"

"Zi Yu, take this bastard away!"

"Brother, don't get excited," the Second Hall Master stepped forward, "Please think about it again. If Sister-in-law knows about this, what will you do?"

When mentioning the hall master's wife, Shan You, Shan Tianxiang hesitated for a moment, but quickly came to his senses, "Zi Yu, take her away! No one can plead for her!" Zi Yu had no choice but to pull Shan Zimo away from Xue Ji Hall.

"This old man has a bad temper!" Shan Zimo followed Zi Yu with an indifferent look.

"Young Master, you can't address the Hall Master like that," Zi Yu said as they walked. "You've been through the Cold Jade Lake incident before, and you know how tough it is. It's better to give in and admit your mistakes, even if you have to spend ten days or half a month in the training center."

"So, I'm even more interested!" Shan Zimo said excitedly, "I have to go to this Hanyu Lake!" Shan Zimo pushed Zi Yu and said, "Lead the way quickly, I can't wait! Hahaha!"

The two walked all the way to the back mountain, passing by a new grave. Shan Zimo glanced at it, "Just built?" "Yes, young master!" Zi Yu also glanced at the lonely grave exposed in the white snow, "This is the grave of the swordsman that the young master brought back."

"Dead?" Shan Zimo was a little surprised.

"He died on New Year's Eve by severing his meridians." Zi Yu said lightly.

"Severing one's own meridians?" Shan Zimo repeated, "It sounds pretty cruel when you think of the name!"

The two continued to go deeper as they talked. The snow in the deep back mountain became thicker and thicker, never reaching the calves. As they walked along, the snow was waist-deep. Ziyu walked in front to clear the way for Shan Zimo, while Shan Zimo played in the snow behind, occasionally making a snowball and throwing it at Ziyu. "Young Master, stop making trouble."

The deeper you go, the more ferocious the wind can penetrate your bones! After a long journey, we finally arrived at a lake surrounded by mountains on three sides.

The lake was completely frozen by thick ice, like a mirror. The two walked to the center of the lake, and Zi Yu stretched out his Cold Star Reflecting Snow Knife, gathered his inner strength in both hands, and pointed the knife directly at the lake under Shan Zimo's feet.

"I'm sorry, young master!" After saying that, he raised the knife and chopped at the three-foot ice surface under Shan Zimo's feet!

The knife was like an ice drill, instantly creating a big hole under Shan Zimo's feet. With a crash, Shan Zimo fell into the ice hole!

"It's too cold!" Shan Zimo, who had fallen into the lake, poked his head out of the water. Ziyu put away his knife, lay on the edge of the ice hole and looked down.

"Young Master, please circulate your Qi properly. Don't do the same thing as last time in the training center. You may suffer from the pants-taking-off syndrome again!"

"That's called hypothermia!" Shan Zimo said awkwardly, "What do you mean by taking off your pants? That's because my consciousness is out of control... Never mind, you won't understand even if I explain it to you."

"Master, Ziyu is going back first. I will come to pick you up in four days!" "What should I do about my meals?"

"Fasting!" After saying that, Zi Yu left Hanyu Lake, leaving Shan Zimo alone soaking in the lake water under three feet of ice.

The true Qi that originally surrounded Shan Zimo's body had been running smoothly to keep him warm. However, as soon as he entered the lake, the cold air caused his true Qi to vibrate violently, as if it would lose control in the next second.

Shan Zimo sensed something was wrong and quickly concentrated his energy, floating calmly in the lake, pushing his internal force to control the fluctuations of his true energy.

After some effort, the true Qi finally started to flow smoothly again.

The water of Hanyu Lake is pure and contains only the essence of heaven and earth, without any hostility! "How can this be a punishment?" Shan Zimo smiled crookedly, "This is simply a way to give his son a shortcut! This old man is quite interesting!"

Shan Zimo's current pure yin body is like a huge black hole. The pure essence of heaven and earth is constantly being absorbed into Shan Zimo's body and integrated into his internal strength.

Shan Zimo felt that the internal force in his body was like a battery, filling up cell by cell, and when it was full, it turned into another larger battery. The most intuitive change he saw in his body was that his muscles were stronger than iron and stone!

"This is from the beating!" Shan Boyu walked from the Punishment Hall to Longyin Garden while stroking his buttocks. Not long after returning to Longyin Garden, he also went to the back mountain with a small bag on his back.
