Longyin Liushan Gate is located near a bamboo house near the forest at the foot of the mountain.
A delicate warrior girl with a high ponytail who looked to be about twelve years old was walking boredly through the plum blossom piles with a sling and sickle in her hand. Not far away, a black man in warrior uniform was walking.
The middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the girl seriously.
Stone piles at random heights are connected end to end, like the seven stars of the Big Dipper, distributed on the surface of the bluestone rock where the rock towers. The piles are driven deeply into the rock and are as solid as a rock.
Thirteen half-body mannequins made of bamboo knots and trees can also be seen in the gaps between the plum blossom piles. Their hardest 'heads' are already covered with scars left by swords and hidden weapons.
After three or five laps, the girl who had finished her warm-up had a stern look on her face. She gradually increased her speed and her steps were like wind. Her movements were like flowing clouds and water, ever-changing, her steps were like smoke, like shadows dancing against the scorching sun, and she was alive but not chaotic.
In terms of footwork alone, the girl's stance skills can be said to be as solid as they have been refined over time. On the basis of accumulated practice over time, the girl's movement techniques have gained a touch of agility that no other martial artist has. Without her unique martial arts practice,
It is very difficult to achieve such a state of talent.
When she reached the eighth circle, the girl's movement suddenly slowed down. First, three kunai came out of her hand and stabbed accurately into the heads of the three dummies. Then the sickle blade in her hand circled and danced, and the magic power transformed it.
The blade light directly broke through the defensive talisman, leaving a frightening blade mark on the dummy's head.
Amidst the whistling of the scythes and kunai, the thirteen half-length dummies were quickly defeated one by one. Without the protection of the defensive spell, the dummies had more scars on their bodies. According to the strength of the scythes, if they were hit again
If it goes down, it may directly damage the half-length dummy.
"Okay Akali, you can come down now."
After suppressing his surprise and controlling his facial expression, the middle-aged man clapped his hands and signaled the girl to stop training.
Hearing this, the girl jumped off the stone pile and threw the sickle blade on the ground like trash, causing the man's mouth to twitch slightly.
After her rapid and disordered breathing calmed down a little, the girl looked at the man, with provocation in her narrow and pretty red eyes, and her tone was full of rebellion and pride.
"Ryuyin Fei Scythe was defeated for thirteen times in a row, and the kunai sword hit the vital point. How about it, Tano, am I strong enough to make it out of the mountain?"
Frowning, the man scolded with some dissatisfaction.
"Akali, don't forget that I am your father. You should maintain the minimum respect for me. I have already said that, don't call me by my name. Even if you don't want to call me father, you can still call me "
Deputy Sect Leader."
Hearing this, the girl had no intention of flinching, and retorted in a clear voice with her arms folded across her chest.
"Tano, have you forgotten that it was you who taught me that kinship should not be emphasized in sect practice? Now that I do what you said, why are you dissatisfied? Besides, when you and Mei Mu trained me, you would
Am I merciful because I am your daughter? Since I can remember, every day has been martial arts training. Apart from drawing talismans and bathing, there is no entertainment at all. If I didn’t also like to practice martial arts..."
After a pause, seeing her father showing guilt, Akali tilted her head and changed the subject.
"As for why I don't call you deputy sect master, please ask me dad. Long Yinliu has always respected strength. The sect master is the strongest, followed by the deputy sect master. Now you can't even beat your daughter, why should you call your daughter
Are you the deputy sect leader?
Let me see, I should be the deputy sect leader.
This time when I come down from the mountain, I will go to the Kinkou Sect to find Mei Mu and ask her to decide on my name as the sect leader as soon as possible. As for you, from now on you can just be the martial arts instructor in the sect and greet the new disciples.
"
Tano's expression froze, and then he laughed angrily at his daughter's words. The unfilial daughter in front of him had already arranged a life for her in old age, and was about to "seize power and usurp the throne" from her before she died, and she didn't know how to handle it.
How did a girl grow up to be such a rebellious girl?
Speaking of which, what Akali said makes sense. He and his wife Meimei have been training Akali since they were young. Especially after they discovered that Akali is a unique martial arts genius, their demands on Akali are even greater.
Far better than the elite disciples, his slightly older wife Meimu broke the rules and passed on all the secrets of Ryuuginryu to Akali, so that Akali became the best in Ryuuginryu when she was less than ten years old.
Strength,
The art of attack, assassination, conjuration, and movement. Except for her unwillingness to calm down and learn the way of herbal medicine and the way of nature, Akali has achieved an eye-catching level in all other parts.
What's outrageous is that in private, there are even Ryuuyin-ryu disciples who are one round older than Akali respectfully call their daughter 'Senior Sister', but their daughter still puffs out her chest and looks like she is unusually useful.
Such ridiculous things are really ridiculous.
In addition, because the daughter inherited the beauty of his wife's plum eyes, some disciples with ulterior motives began to have crooked ideas about the daughter. They intentionally or unintentionally wanted to get close to Akali, sending flowers and children to the mountain.
Object, just to deceive my daughter’s heart,
As an old father who has worked so hard to raise cabbage so well, how can he tolerate the humiliation of having the cabbage core opened by a pig's head before it has grown? Just thinking about this possibility will make you crazy, right? There is only one kind of person who doesn't care.
This matter is that the father does not love his daughter at all. He is not this kind of person.
You must know that his daughter was just ten years old at that time. Although in Presidio, girls aged eleven or twelve can get married and have children, but he and Mei Mu did not want their daughter to be abducted by some wild man early.
He didn't say it was because of his father's unique mentality, but I'm afraid his wife didn't want a man to delay Akali from continuing to improve herself, so as to create a stronger Ryūin-ryu sect leader.
He was afraid that Akali would lose herself in the praise and flattery of the disciples of the sect, and he was even more afraid that Akali would suddenly become possessed and be abducted by some damn little bastard, so he built this isolated [Bamboo Forest of Meditation] for training.
Akali's temperament is determined to wait until Akali is older before letting Akali come into contact with her disciples.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When Akali can distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil and those bastards with bad intentions under his guidance, and understands that no man in the world is good except his father, then
Send Akali to the Kyodo Temple where his wife lives to further practice martial arts with Master Kusuo and Master Kenan, and climb higher mountains. Even if Akali needs to get married in the future, she will have to pass him.
Things went as he wished. Although he felt sorry for his daughter, sacrificing Akali's childhood was not meaningless.
After two years of hard work, Akali's rough jade has initially shown the peerless elegance of a warrior. You must know that even his wife Mei Mu would not have such amazing strength at Akali's age.
Presumably as long as she continues to grow, Akali will definitely grow into a warrior even more powerful than her wife. By then, Akali will not only be in charge of the Dragon Hidden Style, but will also become the Fist of Shadows like Meimu, with Nuo behind her.
With the relationship with the Xusian Empire, his daughter might be able to open a dojo to the continent of Valoran. It can be said that now he can no longer imagine how much achievements his daughter will achieve in the future.
But the problem now is that although his daughter is only twelve years old, he seems to be a little out of control.
"Ahem... How to arrange for me? Let's wait until you become the deputy sect master."
Tano turned around, waved his hand, and put the pressure on his wife without hesitation.
"It's rare that you can make progress. You don't need to train anymore today. As for the matter of going out, let's wait until your mother comes back before making a decision."
"cut!"
Akali curled her lips, made a sneer without concealing it, and stared at Tano's back.
Feeling a chill on his back, Tano just pretended that he didn't hear it and quickened his pace and left the Jingxin Bamboo Forest.
Lifting the sickle blade with her toes and putting away the kunai and shurikens on the dummy, Akali rubbed her nose and stretched, preparing to take a bath in the spring in the cave.
On weekdays, let alone people, I can't even come into contact with ghosts. The only things I can do are take a bath and draw talismans.
"When I become the sect master, I wonder who will dare to control me! I want to read story books every day! Eat cakes every day! Well~ three a day!"
After saying that, the girl skipped away with the scythe on her shoulder, looking full of energy, not even remotely rebellious like she had been when she was confronting her old father.
Not knowing that the daughter he had placed high hopes on was so big-hearted and unambitious, the old father Tano, who was deeply stressed, was intercepted by the elder guarding the sect's restricted area just after he returned to Longyin Palace. His face changed slightly.
"Elder Kent, could it be that... someone is coming from over there?"
The old man with white hair and beard nodded, his cloudy eyes still showed horror, and his voice trembled.
"The Emperor of the Empire... The ancestor is here in person, coming directly from the teleportation circle. I have already experienced the identity token, and now the ancestor Lester is waiting for you in the ancestral temple... By the way, I have sent someone to inform you about this matter.
The sect leader."
Taking a deep breath, rubbing the stubble on his chin to force himself to calm down, Tano nodded heavily.
"Well done, I'm going to entertain the ancestors. Before the ancestors' will is decided, don't let the news leak, so as not to bring trouble to the ancestors."
"yes."
Walking along the ancient and mottled bluestone road, Tano walked into the hall with his head held high. In the dim light of the copper-faced sill windows, the man's expression looked very solemn.
Longyin Hall has a history of more than 700 years. Since its establishment, Longyin Hall has always been one of the five ancient buildings that the Ionians are proud of. Together with Sirana Monastery in Larin Province, it has also
Shoji Temple in Zanhang Province, the palace of high-ranking officials in Navoli is as famous as the Balance Temple.
Anyone who is qualified to enter Longyin Palace is all a highly respected person. However, compared with the status of today’s visitors, Longyin Palace is somewhat unqualified. If calculated by seniority, the pillars and cornerstones of Longyin Palace are incorruptible for hundreds of years.
He can only be regarded as the great-grandson of the visitor.
Facing the incense of concentration that hit his face, Tano straightened his clothes and tied his hair again. After making sure that there was nothing rude about the mirror-like copper pillars, he walked lightly into the Longyin Hall where his ancestors were enshrined.
Ancestral Temple.
Within sight, there were two people with their backs facing towards the memorial tablet. The white-haired woman, who was carrying a broad-edged sword, was holding a peerless sword upside down in her hand, while the man was holding three lit incense sticks in the incense burner.
Inside,
The height of the memorial tablet of [Master Lester] is second only to that of Master [Hidden Dragon]. Watching his ancestor offering incense to him, Tano twitched the corner of his mouth with some disrespect.
Logically speaking, carrying weapons into the ancestral temple is considered a serious crime equivalent to betraying the sect, but Tano seemed not to notice as he stepped forward and bowed.
"Tano, the thirty-fourth generation descendant of the Dragon Hidden Law, came to pay homage to his ancestor."
Lester turned around and looked at the man in front of him. Judging from the spell power and muscles, the husband of Meimu Yeoman Texi could only be said to be a middle-aged man, probably on the same level as the elite soldiers of the empire wearing armor and swords.
Although he has no strength, Tano is still very qualified as the acting sect leader. Especially in raising Akali, Tano is deeply loved by him.
Of course, even without Tano's intervention, under his instructions, Meimu would not let Akali come into contact with those unscrupulous guys. Akali's man can only be him. From this point, he is sure
The moment Akali is the reincarnation of her old friend, she is destined to be unable to change.
However, judging from past experience, Kindred's Seal seems to have the effect of maintaining love. Before meeting him, Samira and others were not 'restrained' like Akali, but they had never expressed any concern for others.
Men have feelings.
Closer to home, Lester would naturally not put on any airs when dealing with his father-in-law, not to mention that Long Yinliu was an Ionian martial arts force that he had single-handedly supported. How could a normal elder show his face to his younger generation if it was not necessary?
"Get up, Meimu told me about you, and you are indispensable for the stable development of Ryūyin Ryu to this day."
After receiving a compliment, Tano smiled with joy, but did not feel inflated and said humbly.
"Tano just did what he could, and it was better for his ancestors to take care of him..."
Lester waved to interrupt Tano's self-effacing words, and with a serious face motioned for Tano to sit on the futon, not daring to neglect. Tano sat on his knees like a primary school student.
"I came here for nothing else but the catastrophe that Long Yinliu is about to face."
"A big, big disaster? Please give me a clear explanation from our ancestors!"
Instructing Tano to calm down, Lester said in a deep voice.
"Before I came here, I asked Karma to search for traces of the Demonic Nightmare through the spiritual veins of the First Land. The results showed that there was a large amount of shadow energy gathering near the Dragon Hidden Sect. Presumably the Demonic Nightmare had revived and was with Navo
The Lee Brothers are uniting to deal with Long Yinliu... Judging from your appearance, you should be completely unaware of this matter."
Seeing that Tano's face was as pale as a sheet, Lester began to comfort him.
"Nightmare's ability is weird and changeable. It's excusable that the sect couldn't detect it immediately. You don't have to blame yourself too much.
In fact, this is what I came here for. Now Karma has notified and summoned strong men from various sects to come for support. We must hold on to this place until support arrives.
Tano, I suspect that the sect has been invaded by shadows. I will immediately seal the mountain gate and summon all the disciples who have recently entered the sect to the back mountain. I want to personally investigate."
"As commanded."
"I heard that Meimu's daughter Akali is also in the sect. I have a fate with Akali. Let that little guy come to see me. I will personally protect her."
