The smell of vegetables, rice, and wine mixed together in the hall, and mixed with the noisy sounds, ordinary scholars simply can't get used to it.
Li Muchan's heart was as calm as water. Although it was noisy outside, he was still peaceful in his heart.
After taking a long drink, he frowned and shook his head: "Master Bai, so to speak, the female disciples of Xinghu Xiaozhu are not making wedding clothes for others?... Logically speaking, they shouldn't be."
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Hey, that's what I heard. I can't guarantee whether it's true or not."
Li Muchan asked: "Those women from Xinghu Xiaozhu who are married have lost their martial arts skills?"
The middle-aged man surnamed Bai shook his head: "After they get married, they take care of their husbands and raise their children. They never show up in public. No one knows whether they can do martial arts!"
Li Muchan held the white porcelain wine cup and was puzzled. He felt that it was definitely not that simple.
In this era, the status of women is low. Although there are many women in the martial arts who are better than men, such as Canghai Sword Sect, Sheng Xuefeng, and Xinghu Xiaozhu, they cannot change the general trend.
If the disciples of Xinghu Xiaozhu are like this, once they get married, their inner strength will be completely given to the other person, and they will have no inner strength, and the ending will definitely be bad. Not every man knows how to repay his kindness, and lovers are really rare.
He shook his head and smiled disapprovingly.
At this moment, the middle-aged man named Bai drank two large bowls of Gaoshanqing in one breath, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and laughed happily: "What do you think Mr. Li has to say?"
Li Muchan exuded a lazy and calm demeanor and said with a smile: "Xinghu Xiaozhu is very strict about accepting disciples. How did Master Lin get in?"
The middle-aged man surnamed Bai smiled and said: "Master Lin Shao is a genius. In terms of qualifications, he is the first among all the people in Nantan. It is not unusual to enter Xinghu Xiaozhu!"
"I've heard about Master Lin's name for a long time, but it's a pity that I didn't meet him once." Li Muchan shook his head.
The middle-aged man surnamed Bai smiled and said: "If you want to meet Master Lin Shaotan, it's not difficult, just join Nantan!"
Li Muchan shook his head: "With my three-legged cat skills, how can I enter the South Altar!"
The middle-aged man surnamed Bai lifted the jar and filled the big bowl, and laughed and said: "With Mr. Li's sword skills, it is more than enough to enter the South Altar!"
Li Muchan smiled: "I can't get good at practicing swordsmanship. I wanted to find a master of swordsmanship to become my disciple, but it's a pity that I can't get in!"
The middle-aged man surnamed Bai smiled and said: "Are you a master of swordsmanship? Laoxia Sun and Laoxia Zhao in the city are both masters. Why not join their sect?"
Li Muchan shook his head, and the middle-aged man surnamed Bai smiled and said: "That's true. Mr. Li, your sword skills are also very good, so you can only join Xinghu Xiaozhu! Xinghu Xiaozhu's sword skills are superb."
Li Muchan sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
He had originally made up his mind never to enter Xinghu Xiaozhu. Canghai Mountain was full of yin and yang, and there were many beauties, as if he were among flowers. But if these beauties were arrogant and disdainful, and too lazy to pay attention to you, they would not be so cute.
Fortunately, after he entered Canghai Mountain, he quickly became the head disciple and quickly rose through the ranks, so that he would not be looked down upon by a group of beauties.
He entered Baiyun City to get close to Lin Ping and wait for an opportunity to kill him. Unexpectedly, Lin Ping actually entered Xinghu Xiaozhu.
Alas..., God is not as good as man! He pondered and frowned.
From this point of view, if he wants to kill Lin Ping, he can only enter Xinghu Xiaozhu. Once Lin Ping worships Xinghu Xiaozhu, he will not be able to leave the army for a short time. Sneaking into Xinghu Xiaozhu to assassinate him is asking for death. Xinghu Xiaozhu is not the Changbai Sword Sect.
"Master Bai, how can I enter Xinghu Villa?" Li Muchan asked.
The middle-aged man surnamed Bai said in surprise: "Oh, Mr. Li also wants to enter Xinghu Xiaozhu?"
Li Muchan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Besides Xinghu Xiaozhu, where else can you learn the art of swordsmanship?"
"Well, that's true. To learn swordsmanship, you should learn Xinghu Xiaozhu." The middle-aged man surnamed Bai nodded, tilted his head and thought for a while, and said: "However, it is not easy to enter Xinghu Xiaozhu."
Li Muchan smiled and said, "How to enter?"
The middle-aged man surnamed Bai said: "There is a Xingyue Courtyard in the city, which is a branch of Xiaozhu. If you want to enter Xinghu Xiaozhu, go there and test it out... Hehe, I have been there too."
"Oh——?" Li Muchan raised his thick eyebrows.
The middle-aged man surnamed Bai said: "As long as you are no older than eighteen, you can go. They will practice a few martial arts moves. You just follow them and then check your body. It's very simple."
"In this way..." Li Muchan nodded slowly.
The middle-aged man surnamed Bai shook his head and sighed: "The test is very simple, but few people pass it. In the past ten years, we have only had one Master Lin in Baiyun City!"
"Then I'd like to give it a try." Li Muchan smiled.
The middle-aged man surnamed Bai nodded hurriedly: "Yes, try it, maybe you can actually go in!"
As he spoke, he picked up the big bowl, drank it all in one gulp, breathed a sigh of relief, and picked up the wine jar to refill it.
While the two of them were talking, people around them were very quiet. As soon as he finished speaking, someone answered him. The middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks smiled and said, "Which one of us has never tried it?"
People around laughed and said, "I've tried them all! I've tried them all!"
A man shook his head and sighed: "That guy Li Ermazi is the most unlucky. When he saw the beauty of this little girl, he couldn't help but talk a few words, and as a result he was disabled in martial arts. Tsk tsk, the girls in Xinghu Xiaozhu are beautiful, but they have thorns.
flowers!"
"He is asking for trouble. Who doesn't know that people from Xinghu Xiaozhu cannot be offended? Nantan is powerful, right? Shouldn't he be respectful to Xinghu Xiaozhu and not dare to offend him?" The middle-aged man surnamed Bai sneered.
A loyal middle-aged man smiled and said: "Master Li, please be careful. It doesn't matter if you don't pass. Don't offend the beauty, but you won't be able to bear the consequences!"
"Haha, thank you all!" Li Muchan cupped his fists and smiled.
*************************************************
Xingyue Courtyard is located in the southwest of Baiyun City. Li Muchan left Yanfei Tower and turned west, passing through the bustling crowd along the street and arriving in front of a large house.
Looking down with his eyes in the void, he saw that there were four entrances to the house. The first entrance was the hall and the martial arts training ground, followed by two courtyards, and finally the garden, which covered an area of about a hundred acres and was magnificent.
He shook his head, this was not a small courtyard.
There are four big characters written on the plaque at the main entrance: "Xingyue Courtyard".
These four words are elegant, smart, calm and elegant. Li Muchan knew at a glance that they were written by a woman.
He was wearing a sapphire blue gown, with a blue water knife slung around his waist. He put his hands behind his hands and raised his head to watch. A gust of wind blew his clothes and sleeves, making him stand out from the crowd and have a special air.
The side door on the right opened with a creak, and out came a pretty little girl with a petite figure and a particularly eye-catching red dress. Her big bright eyes blinked a few times: "Are you here for a test?"
Li Muchan looked away from the plaque, nodded and smiled: "Exactly, I want to enter Xinghu Xiaozhu."
"Well, just follow me." The little girl in red turned around and left.
Li Muchan stepped up the steps and entered the side door. Following the little girl, he came to the flowers on the east side of the hall, passed through the flowers and entered the circular martial arts training ground in the center.
The martial arts training ground is flat and open, with a red mud floor. Next to it is a weapons rack with only two weapons, knives and swords. Dozens of plum blossoms are in full bloom among the flowers beside the field, emitting a faint fragrance.
Two swings were set up on the sidelines, swaying with the breeze.
The little girl stopped, turned around and said, "What's your name?"
"Li Zhu." Li Muchan said.
The little girl said: "Okay, Mr. Li, please wait a moment, I will call the senior sister."
"Okay." Li Muchan nodded.
The little girl tapped her toes gently, as if she were stepping on a white cloud that slowly floated up and into the Moon Gate at the back.
Li Muchan narrowed his eyes and admired secretly.
It's not difficult to think fast in Qinggong, but it's not easy to think slow. The slower you go, the more you need to freely control your internal power. It's easy to release internal power but hard to take it back. The secret is difficult for outsiders to understand.
Li Muchan cannot use such light skills now.
He has used the San Gong Jue, and his internal energy has been completely absorbed into the relics in his mind. Now there is no internal energy in his body, and he is completely empty.
When he used the San Gong Technique before, he had already prepared to completely dissipate his internal energy. There was no relic in his Dantian and he could not collect it. However, he did not expect that when he used the San Gong Technique, the Dantian went straight into his mind and merged into the relics in his mind.
Among them, there is no change in the relics.
If you use the San Gong Jue again, your internal energy will surge out and you will recover quickly.
Since he had the intention of killing Lin Ping, he naturally had to keep a low profile and pretend that he was unable to kill him. Otherwise, killing a fellow sect member would be enough to cause death.
What's more important is that he has to hide his original identity. If the Canghai Shen Gong is there, he can be easily recognized.
The little girl came back soon, followed by two girls, one slender and beautiful, the other round-faced and delicate, both of them good-looking, although they are not extremely beautiful, they are still pretty.
Both of them have gentle and gentle temperaments. The slender girl is wearing a light green Luo shirt with clear eyes. The round-faced and delicate woman has a faint smile and is as gentle as water.
Li Muchan clasped his fists: "I, Li Zhu, have met these two girls."
"Young Master Li, you don't have to be polite." The girl in green shirt cupped her fists in return and said with a smile, "Young Master Li, you want to join our sect, right?"
Li Muchan nodded: "I've heard for a long time that Xinghu Xiaozhu is a good martial artist, so I want to learn sword skills."
The girl in green shirt glanced at his waist and asked, "Master Li has practiced swordsmanship before, right? Who did he learn from?"
Li Muchan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I accidentally obtained this sword and a book of swordsmanship. I just practiced it blindly on my own without having any apprenticeship."
"Oh——?" The girl in green shirt's eyes flashed and she said with a smile: "Well, it's not difficult to join our sect. Let Rou'er practice some sword skills. You follow suit and I'll take a look at your qualifications.
"
"Okay." Li Muchan nodded.
"Rou'er." The girl in green shirt nodded lightly.
"Okay." The little girl responded with a crisp voice. She rushed to the weapon rack, picked up a long knife, swung it in front of her, and said softly: "Master Li, look carefully, I just want to
Practice it again!”
After saying this, the sword moves like a dragon and a snake, and the arrows follow. The body follows the sword, as light and agile as a dance.
She didn't move quickly, and could see clearly. Her moves were full of energy, graceful and graceful. After two moves, she quickly sheathed her sword, full of energy.
The girl in green shirt said: "Our sect's martial arts is divided into nine levels. These are the two styles of the first-level swordsmanship, which are the entry-level swordsmanship. Has Mr. Li learned it?"
