Where is Our Agreement to be Each Other's Arch-Rivals?

Early the next morning, everyone in Xiaoyulou knew that Su Yan had decided to retreat.

Although Xiaoyulou's rules are not strict, the juniors under the names of senior brothers and sisters are not allowed to visit other people's residences at will.Of course, if disciples want to discuss and gather together, the martial arts field in Xiaoyulou and the pavilions in various gardens can be used as places to meet each other.

But for Su Yan's retreat, after he handed in the jade bell, he couldn't walk out of the courtyard at will. Except for Di Ling and Gu Feidi who lived with him, other people basically couldn't see him.

Fan Xi looked obviously a little disappointed, ate breakfast resentfully, returned to Senior Sister Li's courtyard, and quickly handed in his jade bell, announcing that he would also retreat.

At dinner that day, everyone heard that the...unimpressive Luo Yin that Chi Tong had taken away had also retreated.

Xiaoyulou opened the door this time and took in eight disciples, and within two days, three of them were closed.

"In this way, it seems that the few of us are idle." Xu Yunzhan poured half a cup of tea, handed it to Gu Feidi, and said with a smile, "It's a pity that I can't dance epee in the courtyard where I live, and I need to go to the martial arts field to practice every day , I'm afraid I won't be able to retreat until I leave the teacher."

Pu Lingyun curled her lips and said: "Su Yan retreated, probably because he knew that he had a different identity and was not likable. Then Fan Xi obeyed his orders, and if Su Yang couldn't come out, he certainly didn't want to be criticized by the public, so he retreated." Go!"

After finishing speaking, she leaned forward, looked at Gu Feidi seriously, and said, "Little senior brother, you live with that monster, so don't let him lead you into trouble, and be careful not to be tricked by him!"

Xu Yunzhan said with a smile: "I think that Su Yan may have been pretending to be profound all the time, but in fact he may not have that much thought. When he came out of the Stone Forest formation, I think he is far from being able to count on the enemy."

Hearing these words, Gu Feidi suddenly laughed.

He raised his right hand and rubbed the wristband of his left arm, his eyes were full of warmth, obviously not mocking, but really amused by something.

"Indeed, his tricks sometimes..." Gu Feidi said, coughing lightly, and said, "...In short, the rumors in the world are not trustworthy. He is indeed a simple person."

Pu Lingyun rolled her eyelids, obviously not convinced.

Xu Yunzhan said, "So, what do you think he used Lianxiang Huichun pills for you at the beginning?"

Gu Feidi's eyes were suddenly a little lost, and he didn't know what he thought of.After pondering for a moment, he slowly said: "If he was not threatened by the leader of the demon sect, he could not help giving me the medicine... If he gave me the medicine out of his own will, I think... his It was probably just trying to save my life."

Speaking of this, he lowered his eyelashes, and said: "After all, once the 'Nirvana' is activated and the self-healing begins, in the eyes of outsiders, I am no different from my life hanging by a thread."

Xu Yunzhan said: "If you can find the Homing Scroll and practice the complete Knowledge Returning Sutra, you can control the activation and termination of 'Nirvana' yourself. No matter how serious your injury is, you still have time to find a safe place to heal your injuries, so you don't suddenly faint Fall, into danger."

"Homing Volume..."

Gu Feidi's voice was very low, it sounded a little understatement, but he said something like a thunderbolt:

"……I found it."

"What?!" Xu Yun stood up vigorously, his eyes sparkled with excitement, "How did you find it?!"

Gu Feidi smiled and said, "By chance, I found it in another irrelevant book in Wanjuan Pavilion."

Pu Lingyun grabbed Gu Feidi's arm, her eyes were also shining, and she said, "Little senior brother! If you can recite it and write it silently when you return to Tengyun Pavilion, Master will be very happy! "

Gu Feidi nodded and said, "I have to practice it well before leaving the teacher to understand its deep meaning. However, I have not yet broken through the scroll, and it will take some time to practice the homing scroll. So, I actually I plan to start retreat in the near future, and return the complete knowledge to Dacheng as soon as possible.”

Xu Yunzhan and Pu Lingyun both supported his decision.The three of them drank some tea and went back to their respective residences.

Su Yan was practicing sword in the yard.

The owner of Xiaoyulou specially asked Di Ling to bring him to live in Zhichun Garden, because there are flowers and trees in this courtyard in all seasons, and flowers are in full bloom all year round.It is early summer now, and the flower racks in the courtyard are full of roses, and there are two lilac trees in front of the courtyard.In a pond in the corner of the small courtyard, light pink lotus flowers also spit out buds, which are small and pointed, hidden among the emerald green lotus leaves, swaying gently with the breeze.

Although Su Yan has never practiced martial arts, and he will not really realize the essence of martial arts related to flowers in his hands just because of the flowers and trees in the courtyard, but the art of dance is connected with nature.

He didn't know if all the martial arts of the Devil's Cult were like dancing, but judging from the flower cherishing step and lotus blossoming swordsmanship he had practiced, they were all inextricably linked with dancing.

This is a good thing for Su Yang.

He is good at dancing, and now he has memorized all the moves of the Blossoming Lotus Sword Art, the only thing he needs to do is to combine his inner strength with these sword moves.

The fiery red sleeves fluttered, looking from a distance, like a crabapple blooming in the wind.

"The movement is smooth, and the internal force can be controlled." Di Ling walked slowly, put down the book in his hand, and said, "It's just that the sword moves you use lack murderous aura and are too soft."

Su Yan stopped his movements, wiped off his sweat, and said, "Take care of the tricks and internal strength first. As for the murderous aura, it will come out naturally when you need to fight people desperately."

But Di Ling shook his head and said: "If you don't practice on weekdays, you will only be full of flaws when you fight people desperately. If you don't believe me, you can try it against me."

When Gu Feidi returned to Zhichun Garden, what he saw were two figures, one red and one white, in the courtyard, fighting with each other.

No, saying "you come and I go" is a bit biased.

The slender sword in the hands of the red-clothed swordsman in the arena could barely touch the corner of the white-clothed woman's clothes, and the white-clothed woman obviously only had a book in her hand, which was less than a foot long, but it always hit Su Yan's vitals.Forehead, neck, chest... If Di Ling held a sword in her hand, or she just released her majestic internal power through the scroll, Su Yan would have been killed countless times already.

Di Ling turned her wrist and tapped Su Yan's wrist lightly with the scroll, and Su Yan could no longer hold the sword.

The thin sword fell to the ground and let out an unwilling buzz.

Su Yang straightened up, his breathing was messy, and he was sweating profusely.

"You used to practice swords, but you never fought against others?" Di Ling wondered, "How did you deal with it so unstructured?"

Su Yang said in his heart: Anyway, in Xiaoyulou, the persona of the Holy Son of the Demon Cult has been broken into pieces, and he doesn't mind admitting it.

So he nodded and said, "It's true... I haven't fought anyone before."

As soon as these words came out, not only Gu Feidi, who was watching the battle, but also Di Ling showed surprise.

After being silent for a long while, he said, "From now on, I'll practice in the morning every morning, and I'll teach you the tricks myself. Xiaoyulou won't let people who have internal strength but can't fight at all be sent out as teachers."

Su Yan secretly calculated what time it was in the morning at the beginning of Mao Shichu, only to listen to Di Ling and said: "Okay, Feidi is back, you go to practice Jiuhan Turui Kungfu. The narrow-sleeved strong outfit you asked about in the practice just now , I will notify the steward in the building to get it ready for you as soon as possible."

After going back to the room, Su Yang wiped himself briefly, changed his clothes, and then came to the main hall with the first volume of "Nine Colds Spitting Cores", sat side by side with Gu Feidi at the table of the Eight Immortals, and began to listen to his recitation and explanation.

This talk lasted until dark.

Gu Feidi has a regular schedule and goes to sleep at Hai hour every day.When he returned to his room, Su Yan returned to his desk with the books and notes, and continued to burn the lamp at night, comparing and studying.

——He must understand the phrases and vocabulary that often appear in the mental method, and figure out where the meridians and acupoints involved are, so as to ensure that he will not go crazy when practicing this mental method.

When the candles in the lamp were burned out and the whole room was suddenly plunged into darkness, Su Yan realized that he might have stayed up until midnight again.Remembering that he would practice sword before dawn tomorrow, he washed his face in a hurry and went to bed.

As if just closing his eyes, Gu Feidi's voice sounded.

"Su Yan, Senior Sister Ling asked me to wake you up and get ready for morning exercises."

The sound was not loud, but it was like a sharp arrow, piercing directly into Su Yan's ear.

Su Yan barely propped himself up, and almost fell asleep again while washing.

Gu Feidi stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, frowning and said, "What? Did you stay up late again last night? I called you this morning, but there was no movement for a long time. It took internal force to wake you up."

It was only then that Su Yan knew how the sound that almost burst his eardrums came from.

He looked up at the few stars that hadn't disappeared in the gray-blue sky, and couldn't help but sigh.

If he continues to retreat with this intensity every day in the future, he is really afraid that if it goes on for a long time, he will die in Xiaoyu Tower one day.

However, if he wants to become a teacher within two years and catch up with the plot of the Wasteland Sword Saint's Doubtful Tomb, he must not be lazy in the slightest.

So, from this day on, Su Yan began his first retreat in Xiaoyulou.

Every day at the beginning of Maoshi, before dawn, he would listen to the sword with Di in the courtyard; after breakfast, he would perform the Liuming Flower Burial Kung Fu, and after waking up, he would start to review the "Nine Cold Spills" he had read the night before; After entering the fixed time, I will practice swordsmanship routines and internal force manipulation by myself in the afternoon; in the evening, I will study the next chapter of "Jiu Han Tu Rui" with Gu Feidi, and in the middle of the night, I will study ancient sentence reading and meridian acupoints under the lamp.

Rain or shine.

There is no concept of weekends here. Xiaoyulou used to rest one day every ten days, but Su Yan was in retreat, so his rest was cancelled.

In this way, autumn comes after midsummer, and osmanthus flowers replace lilacs in the courtyard, and roses are eliminated by chrysanthemum bushes.

During Mid-Autumn Festival and Chongyang Festival, Su Yan rejected Gu Feidi's invitation to gather together with other students and climb high, and hid in the yard to continue fighting with Jiuhan Turui Gong.

Autumn goes to winter, and the weather gets colder.

Finally, on a snowy day, Su Yan was interrupted by a little green bird with a letter in its mouth, and was forced to leave the customs.

——The New Year is just around the corner.

The author has something to say: Su Yan: Fortunately, I wear books, so I won’t be bald

The current Son of God has not released himself from the "script", and he will not jump too much during the retreat, so he will just take it away
