The Ultimate Apprentice of Comprehensive Martial Arts

"Where is ~Qing~husband?" Xia Zhi grabbed the bamboo horse's hair and sneered, "Qing~husband was born or not, I don't know." He said with force.Once he speaks nonsense, hit him hard immediately, so as not to let him speak nonsense when he is stimulated in the future.

Shen Xinyuan snorted lightly, "It hurts."

Xia Zhi couldn't get enough of it, and twisted his waist again, "You still have the face to cry out in pain."

The bamboo horse fell silent.

"Since you know how to ask my family for help when you are unconscious, I will reluctantly point fingers."

The bamboo horse leaned against Xia Zhi's leg, and said in a low voice, "I will listen to you in everything."

Hearing these words made people feel extremely comfortable, and it made the words he had just chosen seem superfluous.

The two of them used to get together and whisper together, and they always had endless gossip.But like today, it was the first time that he interfered with Zhuma's life.

Xia Zhi is not as righteous as she shows: she is like her parents, the more she likes someone, the more she hopes that the other person can live a life as he pleases.She doesn't even mind cleaning up the mess for the other party as best she can.

Before Zhuma decided to take revenge, his first consideration was... not to drag her down.

In any case, she can't be regarded as "how the bright moon shines on the ditch".

Moreover, after she restrained the confused bamboo horse with one move, the bamboo horse's attitude changed immediately after she woke up, and she didn't mention any drag or not.Anyway, everything depends on strength.Zhuma doesn't say anything, but his brain is not stupid, and his body is also very "honest".

Seeing Xia Zhi's pensive appearance, Zhuma continued to confess, "After the opening of the Demon Palace, the group of people who made the trip worthwhile will gather in one place after a while. Your boss The ancestor was busy planning to deal with it, so he didn't stare at you... let me take advantage of it."

"You're quite self-aware."

The bamboo horse lowered its eyes and said: "Once you start to practice, your progress is astonishing. Your ancestors told me that at this time and at that time, I can be your face leader now, and if I die, I will be the leader of the face leader."

Hearing this, Xia Zhi straightened the bamboo horse's face so that he had to face himself. The deceitful look on his face made Xia Zhi laugh out loud: So the root is here!

She just said, when Zhuma faced her, he felt indebted but never felt so inferior.She laughed enough, and pinched the bamboo horse's face, "Did my ancestors say it before asking you to be the face-to-face?"

Zhuma was aggrieved again, "How could he order it himself?"

Zhuma's look of "begging for comfort" pleased Xia Zhi again, she rubbed Zhuma's forehead and smiled, "You are too sensitive. The ancestor himself only had one wife, how could he encourage his younger generation to open up~harem~ ?”

Shen Xinyuan thought in his heart: Come on, your uncle and cousin have countless confidante friends... Your mother even planned to tell your two uncles that one of your two cousins ​​will take care of you for the rest of your life, thanks to your father Just in time to stop your mother.

Xia Zhi continued: "Of course, my two cousins ​​are born to attract bees and butterflies, but my ancestors disliked them for only making thunder and never laying eggs..."

The bamboo horse suddenly raised its head, "Huh?"

"My parents have always doted on me, and I can do whatever I want. The old ancestor has shown me some talent, and his attitude has been exactly the same as that of my parents—he has never been an obstacle between us." Xia Zhi pursed her lips and smiled. , "Where did you hear the slander?"

Shen Xinyuan remained silent again.

"It's a pity that you are still brazen, what did you say to allow me to support~love~husband, let alone my cousins, I didn't say anything, they are 20 years younger than me, they are obviously like my father, you still want Eat other people's flying vinegar..."

Shen Xinyuan forcibly explained: "This is different." After speaking, he sat up.

Xia Zhi pushed him down again with an elbow, "As long as you are narrow-minded, don't slap your swollen face to pretend to be fat."

She couldn't practice back then, and the geniuses among the royal family certainly looked down on her, but there were many "cousins" who were willing to marry her in exchange for rich cultivation resources.Not only that, there are not a few princes from various families who have taken a fancy to her appearance - a wife with a family background who is extremely handsome, and also comes with a generous dowry and attention from experts, what a bargain.

These "flies" disappeared without waiting for her response... Xia Zhi knew whoever did it.

In short, Zhuma sees her "very strictly".

What's interesting is that Zhuma never gave her any reminders or warnings, nor interfered with her communication, but directly dealt with "wild~men" with bad intentions.

Although Shen Xinyuan was lying on the ground again, he couldn't help breaking his cans, "I'm just jealous! You smile more at your cousin than at me! I'm not happy!"

Hearing this, Xia Zhi happily lay on the bamboo horse's back, and said with a single word, "You are so good." Then he said sincerely, "My marriage is of course up to me. Now, I really have to rely on you."

As soon as these words came out, Xia Zhi clearly felt the shoulders of the bamboo horse tremble, and immediately he relaxed: his back also changed from a hard tabletop to a moderately soft cushion...

Zhuma doesn't speak, Xia Zhi can still know his state of mind at the moment.

Since she was promoted to Innate, it is easier to feel other people's emotional changes - the higher the other's favor, the clearer she feels.

After talking, laughing and fighting with Zhuma, in her feelings, the dark sea with endless waves gradually became calm and clear.

She couldn't help but take the time to announce the good news to her little brother, "I never thought flirting would be so effective."

The little brother who was shown his affection said helplessly: "The premise is that he likes you. Otherwise, he will never die..."

If he didn't really like it, Xia Zhi would spend time and energy for the bamboo horse when he was anxious to improve his strength?He had already taken his demonic seed reserve as experience value and chopped it up with a sword.

At this moment, Xia Zhi was immersed in the system talking to his little brother, a red-faced Shen Xinyuan rolled over and held him tightly in his arms without any precautions: The love between bamboo and horse is deep... Naturally, he is stupid.

Xia Zhi hurriedly said goodbye to his little brother, then kneaded and stretched the bamboo horse's flushed little face into various shapes.Zhuma always looked back at her affectionately, and turned his head from time to time to match Xia Zhi's movements.

After the confession, the bamboo horse really became softer.It's not a loss to worry about such a bamboo horse.

Zhuma's mental state gradually improved, and the two spent a few days in this manor to cultivate.Until Zhuma took a bath that night, he tore off the medicinal cloth on his arm...

There were still drops of water on his face, and he ran up to Xia Zhi excitedly, "Look, it's all scabbed over."

The lethality of the whip sword is clear to myself—when I was wandering with Dugu Qiubai, drinking hatred under her elusive whip sword...the number of masters who can't return can't be counted with both hands!

Even if she didn't use her internal strength, scraping off the skin and flesh would still be enough for a bamboo horse to feed for ten days - the wound was not deep, but it couldn't support the large area.This has already included the effect of the elixir sent by my brother.

Xia Zhi's intuition was wrong, so he grabbed Zhuma's arm and examined it carefully: he found that the blood scab on his arm was indeed thick and hard, not to mention windproof and waterproof, even if she rubbed it hard, most of the wound would heal. No signs of cracking again.

Xia Zhisu said: "What did you eat?"

Shen Xinyuan originally wanted to thank Xia Zhi, and praised her for taking good medicine for him, coupled with her care, he recovered very quickly... After a lot of complacency, he really forgot about it.

He struggled for a while, but still told the truth, "My family's exercises are also equipped with pills. Usually, what everyone eats and uses is newly refined according to the prescription. What I eat...is from the magic palace. Got it."

Xia Zhi frowned, turned around and summoned his brother for help, "Brother, help me find out! The bamboo horse has taken medicine indiscriminately." But it must not be something that can control the mind.

After waiting for a few breaths, the little brother's head lighted up, "Here we come. Wait for me."

Compared with sending Xia Zhi and gift bags to and from different worlds, doing a full body check on someone is much more troublesome.It's like picking up and dropping off people, as long as you have the means of transportation ready, but going to the hospital for a comprehensive examination requires too much equipment and even manpower.

The little brother is too lazy to bother, usually he will not take the initiative to investigate without asking.

While waiting for the "final verdict", Xia Zhi did not forget to twist Zhuma's ear, "Why don't you make people worry!"

After Xia Xia was born, she was really fierce!Zhuma gasped in pain, and explained in a low voice, "I didn't intend to drag you down. I didn't expect that you would be shaken if you said something casually...and then...you always change your mind."

Makes sense.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but scratched Zhuma's hair again, "It's all my fault, isn't it?"

Zhuma immediately said in a low voice: "It's all the villain's fault." Then he lowered his head and kissed Xia Zhi's face cautiously, "I will listen to you in everything."

"Then what if I don't allow you to take revenge?"

Shen Xinyuan stared at Xia Zhi for a moment, and then said, "Cultivation is for you who want to express your thoughts freely, you will not prevent me from expressing your ideas."

Xia Zhi's tense face instantly relaxed, and she held Zhuma's hand in relief, "Very good. It seems that my brain hasn't been burnt out." She wanted to say a few more words, but found that the little brother was calling her.

After entering the system, the little brother really gave Zhuma a comprehensive inspection report, "No big deal. The pills he took are just to make the wound heal faster. The biggest hidden danger is just a little problem in the fusion of the soul and the body."

"Wait." Xia Zhi asked directly, "I may not be able to solve the 'little problem' in your eyes with all my strength."

"Of course there are advantages and no disadvantages now, but when Shen Xinyuan ascended, if his will was weak, and when the lightning strike struck, and his spirit and body were slightly inconsistent, then what ascended might be an empty shell, while his soul The smoke dissipates. The Demonic Dao doesn’t care if the person ascending is a whole person with a soul and a body, or a good shell without a soul and only a body... Either way is useful.”

Xia Zhi asked again, "I'm a bit weak in willpower, how do you say this?"

"Shen Xinyuan's will is not bad. For another person, if he has been trained to this level, even the one he loves should not be able to recognize him. Compared to being delirious as long as he takes a shot, and going crazy for a while afterwards, most people would rather Choosing to practice is always painful."

Xia Zhi was convinced, "Today, what you said to Zhuma makes sense."

"Did I lack persuasiveness before I spoke?" The little brother teased, and then chuckled, "So what really tricked him the most was his family's exercises. This medicine is far behind. As for what he wants to modify, it's up to you The two figured out a way together. Before Shen Xinyuan stepped into the Grandmaster Realm, as long as he didn't want to kill anyone, he would still...no big things happen when you are by his side." After a pause, the little brother still got to the bottom of it in advance, "Miss me To provide more guidance in terms of exercises, you two have to advance to Grandmaster anyway, let me know that I can see that you are expected to ascend... Even if I am a bit more flexible, I can still explain to Master, Master and Uncle."

Xia Zhi laughed, "Anyway, if I work hard to make progress, and then bring the talented and ethical relatives and friends around me to make progress together, that is the greatest reward for you and your sect, right?"

"Isn't it?" This line of words was followed by a long line of smiling faces.The younger brother's emotions are indeed "clear at a glance".

"Actually, I'm a little surprised." Chatting with my little brother is always a pleasure, and Xia Zhi doesn't need to hide anything in his heart, "You will be so tolerant of my bamboo horse who has cultivated the way of magic."

Strong people have tempers.The little brother is from the Xiu~zhen~ world, so his strength is naturally beyond doubt.He looks gentle and polite, but it may not be because he has a good temper, but because he is well-mannered.

But when my little brother mentions magic, he gets excited.Presumably in the Upper Realm, conflicts between the righteous way and the evil way have been quite frequent, and they don't even bother to protect each other's face.

For a master like Zhuma who has already stepped into the evil way with one foot and has no yearning for the righteous way, no matter how talented he is, the little brother may not be tolerant.

Xia Zhi didn't dare to think that it was all because of his face.

The little brother does have something to say, "To tell you the truth, being able to snatch a young talent who is valued by the Demonic Dao and let him 'reform his evil ways' is not much worse than the reward for guiding a genius to ascend from scratch. Buy one for nothing. Give one away, why am I not happy?"

Xia Zhi was surprised and said: "Huh? You also have confidence in me, so you are not afraid of losing your wife and losing your army?"

The little brother gave a dry laugh, and said that you are forcing me to evaluate you...but he didn't hold back, "I don't judge his own lower limit, anyway, you know it well." He finally added a smug expression .

Why is this reaction so familiar?Originally, she could use fate and hit-sight to explain the closeness between her and her little brother... Now the more I look at it, the more I feel that my little brother's personality is too similar to that of her old friend from the previous life.

After thinking about it, she and her younger brother have not reached the point where they can talk about everything, and besides, she always feels that even though the younger brother is her old friend, now is not a good time to get to know each other.

Xia Zhi put aside distracting thoughts for the time being, "That's right. Zhuma's three views are a little hard to explain... Actually, the position of the Shen family has always been quite subtle. This family belongs to the righteous way. Although it doesn't do much evil, it can't really be said to be good. In In my eyes, this family just wanted to have both sides, but in the end they got rid of it and were ruined by internal strife... a typical example of negative teaching."

Although she likes bamboo horses, it doesn't mean she can't look at the bamboo horse's family objectively.

The little brother agreed: "The Shen family is not wronged. After a while, you will be able to know the truth when you advance to the next stage at the latest."

Xia Zhi laughed and said, "I think I'm right when you say that. Since the death is not wronged, it's nothing more than dirty means when starting a family, or risking the world's disgrace while maintaining status."

"It's best for you to be prepared. Anyway, your bamboo horse has never participated in it, otherwise he would not survive." The little brother said sincerely, "You are also very interesting, his principles and limits are almost all up to you .”

Well, you got the truth.It seems that she is the only confidant left in the bamboo horse.He has also clearly written the words "you are the pillar of my soul" on his face.

"Are you so open-minded?" Xia Zhi's smile gradually deepened, "The 'principle' of the bamboo horse, can Zhengdao accept it freely?"

"Why not?" The little brother asked back, "Our righteous way not only asks the heart, but also values ​​the result. After all, people who can't think about it will kill themselves before they can ascend. The magic way advocates doing whatever you want all day long, but you don't even think about it. You can do whatever you want, and others can do whatever you want to you."

Is this the subtly ~brainwashing~ method of the Righteous Way?

Xia Zhi didn't feel disgusted, "Second." It's rare to see the younger brother say a few words recently, and he is probably busy there too.

After leaving the system, Xia Zhi discussed with Shen Xinyuan and returned to the capital to show his ancestors.

Zhuma obviously hesitated, "I heard that I brought people to kill two enemies, so my cheap master returned to the capital."

"Your master," that is, the second master of the Six Paths Demon Sect, "at least he is a grand master, so he wouldn't be so cowardly."

"Of course he didn't counsel, he just went... there to report in person."

"Where?" Xia Zhi asked curiously, "Could it be my ancestor's place?"

"Yeah." Zhuma was a little emotional, but didn't mean to complain at all, "Your ancestors could protect my master, but they might not be able to protect me."

He hugged Xia Zhi, and said softly, "I even snatched his jewel..."

Already twice.Facing the ancestors, Zhuma is always guilty and short of breath.

Xia Zhi rubbed the bamboo horse's head helplessly, "It's me."

After spending a few days with Xia Xia, his mind became completely clear.Zhuma forced a smile, and said in his heart: Your ancestors don't like the Shen family.

After tidying up, the two of them rolled up their gift bags, followed by their entourage, and ran all the way back to the capital——Xia Zhi was purely worried about the long night and dreaming, seeing that the Demon Palace was about to open, and she tried to stay as little as possible outside the old ancestor's territory, and the bamboo horse's enemy It is said that a few of them were touched secretly...

Stepping into the capital, Xia Zhi first stuffed Shen Xinyuan into the bamboo forest of his ancestors, and then went home to meet his parents and younger brothers.

Hearing that their daughter had returned, the couple left the customs together. They held their daughter beside them, rubbing their faces and touching their hands while talking... In short, the probing skills of the parents were very strong, and Xia Zhi was leaning on the shoulders of the mother after a while Going to bed early - her legs are resting on her own father's lap, which is also very comfortable.

When she woke up, it was already dark, and the one sitting beside her... was Shen Xinyuan holding the gift bag.

"How did you come?"

"The old ancestor saw that you didn't go at dinner, so he kicked me out." Shen Xinyuan knew that there were a few maids guarding outside, so he only dared to hold Xia Zhi's hand, "Where is the old ancestor willing to look at me? "

Xia Zhi blinked and rubbed her temples, "Sure enough, my parents are easy to talk to." She hadn't had such a good night's sleep in a long time, "They should be preparing to move, it doesn't make sense that we will Wait for the other party to call."

Shen Xinyuan nodded and said: "There is still about half a year left, enough to calmly arrange troops."

Xia Zhi watched honestly lying on the bamboo horse's lap, silently nibbling on the gift package of jerky - the jerky was made by Zhuma himself these days.She poked it with her finger, "How long have I cooked for you? You little guy was bought so easily!"

The gift bag loosened its claws in fright, and the jerky fell to the ground.It also didn't care about its precious snacks, but kicked its hind legs, jumped in front of Xia Zhi, rolled its small body, and exposed its soft belly.

The gift bag looked eagerly at Xia Zhi, and let out a soft "beep".

Xia Zhi rubbed the belly of the gift bag, then looked up at the bamboo horse, "Why do you two look more and more alike?"

"I only care about food..." Zhuma nodded, "In the future when we have children, I will listen to you how to teach them."

Xia Zhi looked at the bamboo horse for a while, then sat up slowly, raised his hand and put it on the bamboo horse's shoulder, "Be honest, what did the old ancestor tell you."

Before that, bamboo horses called their ancestors "your ancestors" one by one.

Zhuma suddenly smiled—this was probably the most sincere and brightest smile since Xia Zhi tidied up Zhuma and returned to his cage, "The old ancestor has inspected me from head to toe several times... and knows that I am in your care again." He couldn't turn the sky with his hands, so he promised that as long as we can have a child, he will recognize me."

Xia Zhi raised his eyebrows, "That's all?"

"I can't be absent from the Demon Palace."

Xia Zhi hurriedly summoned his little brother, "Can I take the bamboo horse to practice in other worlds?"

The little brother said with a smile: "I can even teleport such a weak little guy with a gift bag, can't I send you a big living person?"

"Brother, you are so kind!"

The little brother said: "Don't get excited... don't forget that you have traveled through time and space by yourself, and still retain complete memory and consciousness."

Xia Zhi was stunned, "So it's risky for a bamboo horse to travel with me?"

"Strictly control the number of times. He has taken pills to speed up the body's healing, and his soul tends to be unstable. It is the soul that shuttles, not the body. After many times of wear and tear, he will be very dangerous when he ascends. "

"Sure enough, there is no such thing as a free lunch."

"How about I pick a place for you two to practice? A place with internal strength and moves should be enough to deal with the opening of the Demon Palace in the near future."

Xia Zhi chuckled, "Look, I knew you couldn't hold back, it's time to show your fox tail."

When she followed Dugu Qiubai to the rivers and lakes, her life was not very comfortable, and this time the little brother directly reminded her "I will give you some challenges".She didn't hesitate, "Okay. Let me explain to my bamboo horse, and we'll set off."

Shen Xinyuan saw Xia Zhi suddenly close his eyes, and frowned slightly... He could also see that Xia Xia didn't talk much these days, but worried about him a lot.Xia Xia's family now reluctantly accepts it because of Xia Xia's face.

In the future, he must stand on the side of the royal family and make enemies with his former relatives and friends.Thinking of what he saw and heard during the days when his family was ruined, especially the weird rituals, and the crazy words and deeds of his clansmen... He immediately became firm, without any melancholy or hesitation.

Xia Zhi opened his eyes at this time, "You want to know why I can enter the world quickly and without unstable foundation?"

Zhuma regained consciousness after hearing the words, and said without thinking, "I've been waiting for you to tell me. Of course I won't ask if you don't tell me. However," he said softly, "Your moves are wonderful, but your internal strength...is a bit complicated. "

Don't forget to remind me, let me be careful.Sure enough, his mind was clear, Xia Zhi grabbed Zhuma's hand, "Come on, hero."

The familiar feeling struck again, Xia Zhi silently counted to ten, then his eyes lit up, and he regained his vision instantly.

There is a gift bag at her feet, and a wrist is still clenched in her hand... The touch feels a little strange. She was about to turn her head, but suddenly her heart tightened. One piece was blown away... She didn't even see what shape the hidden weapon was.

Only at this moment did she realize that her left arm was in severe pain, and the bamboo horse beside her - probably what he looked like when he was seventeen or eighteen years old, was tilting his head, with a dagger stuck in his left arm... Most of it has been submerged into the skin and flesh, and there is still a severed palm that is bleeding continuously on the handle.

"Ah, it hurts." Zhuma only burst out two words, without even raising his head, he grabbed the long knife in his right hand and wiped it outward, almost splitting the attacking man in black in half.

The enemy's level is not high, and they seem to be just... affected.Xia Zhi's three swords repelled several enemies, and when he was about to save himself for trial, he heard an exclamation from the forest in front of him, a pleasantly surprised call, "Oh, Xiao Xia, why are you here?"

In response, there was also a small eagle with big eyes, which "clucked" and jumped from mid-air to the head of the gift bag.

Before Xia Zhi had time to ask, Dugu Qiubai yelled again, "Mingjiao is here... It is said."
