Time flies quietly like water, and nearly five years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Winged Snake Lake, Mingxin Island.
Mingxin Island is the name Ji Ning gave to the island in the middle of the lake. There are many buildings on the island. What was once a deserted island is now as beautiful as a paradise. Now at the turn of spring and summer, all kinds of flowers are also vying for beauty. After some servants Carefully taken care of, it is even more beautiful.
"Sister Qiuye, sister Qiuye." A young man in Tsing Yi was running and shouting.
Qiu Ye, who was sitting there making tea, turned to look and said with a smile: "Qingshi, is the archery practice over? Have you been scolded by your Master Mengyu?"
"This..." Qingshi touched his head and said helplessly, "Can I not be reprimanded? Master Mengyu scolded me every time when I was practicing archery, and he often compared me with my brother. What kind of genius is he? I can compare with him." What?"
"You have to cherish it." Qiuye looked at Qingshi as if he were looking at his own brother, and said solemnly, "Young master also said that although Master Mengyu's Dantian was broken, he is now more specialized in archery... Now On the contrary, the archery skills have improved to a higher level. Master Mengyu is willing to teach you because he lives on Mingxin Island and the young master wants to talk about it. You have to learn it hard. If you learn it well, it is a unique skill."
Qingshi nodded: "I understand."
Qingshi was also very happy on Mingxin Island, and Ji Ning completely regarded him as his younger brother, treating him like a younger brother. The closeness of the relationship can be seen from the title. Generally speaking, it is normal to call someone "big brother" or "big brother". Generally speaking, only those who grew up close together as children will call them brother.
"Yeah." Qiuye nodded with a smile.
"Where's Brother Ji Ning?" Qingshi asked, "Are you practicing your sword?"
Qiuye smiled and said: "I'm not practicing my sword."
"Oh, then sleep on the Winged Snake Lake." Qingshi said with a smile. Having lived in the Winged Snake Lake for nearly five years, he was also very aware of Ji Ning's habits. Nowadays, apart from practicing swordsmanship, Ji Ning just lies down on the Winged Snake Lake. Sleeping with the current in a small boat.
"Yes, I'm sleeping." Qiuye also turned to look at the boundless lake.
Qingshi couldn't help but said: "When I asked brother Ji Ning why he always slept on the Winged Snake Lake, he said... he was practicing. I don't understand. How can sleeping on the Winged Snake Lake be considered practicing? But Ji Ning My brother's swordsmanship is getting better and better, Commander Ji already thought he was invincible two years ago!"
"Yes, the master's swordsmanship has become more and more incredible." Qiuye sighed, "I once saw the master's sword practice, and a large number of water birds flew over and surrounded him for a long time, unwilling to leave."
"So magical?" Qingshi was surprised.
"Commander Ji used to fight against the young master once a year. Two years ago, after he thought he was defeated, he stopped coming. Unfortunately, the young master didn't allow me to watch. I don't know what the scene would be like when the commander and the young master fight." Qiuye has a trace of longing. , in her eyes, Ji Yichuan's swordsmanship has long been mythical, and the current state of her master's swordsmanship is even more unfathomable.
Ji Yichuan lives on Mingxin Island, but at the other end of Mingxin Island. He is usually lonely and arrogant, prohibiting anyone from passing by, and has no servants. Only Ji Ning can go in and occasionally accompany his father.
"I'm really curious as to what level my brother's swordsmanship has reached." Qingshi had a look of admiration in his eyes.
"Look." Qiuye suddenly looked towards the direction of the lake.
"Huh?" Qingshi also turned to look.
I saw a boat faintly appearing in the distance. Qingshi looked happy at first and thought it was the boat where Ji Ning slept, but when he took a closer look... the boat was actually a big boat. It was a ferry boat that often took people to and from the island and the shore. After all, there are many people living on Mingxin Island now, and there are nearly a hundred servants. They often have to deliver large amounts of food to the island, and some outsiders come to visit, so there is naturally a ferry boat.
On the ferry boat.
There was a group of young people on the boat, talking and laughing with each other.
"The sect leader asked me to come and see Ji Ning." A tall, bare-chested young man said with a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes, "We are Ji's sect, much stronger than the other four sects of Ji's clan! The six of us are also from Ji's sect. He is the strongest of the younger generation in the house. He just wants us to come and compete with Ji Ning, but he actually said that he wants us to come to 'visit' him and ask Ji Ning to 'point' us? And he said that we should be respectful?"
"Shut up." A handsome young man shouted, "The sect master has ordered that you must be respectful and address Master Ji Ning."
"Okay, okay, Mr. Ji Ning." The tall young man couldn't help but said, "That's it for us. Ji Mo, you are a peerless genius among the younger generation of our Ji clan. You have already entered the innate state at the age of fifteen. Our Ji Mo The Clan's unique skill "The Music of Ten Thousand Swords" has been mastered for a long time. That Ji Ning... that Ji Ning, although Master Ji Ning became a genius a few years earlier than you, they can only learn from each other. How can you go to see him and let him give you advice? you?"
"Ji Mo." A woman in black said, "Tongzhan is right. This time, no one of us dared to resist the sect master's order to us, but in the bottom of our hearts, everyone was unconvinced. We are young people in the sect. The best of the generation, that Ji Ning... Young Master Ji Ning only belongs to the Ji family's Western Mansion. No matter how talented he is, he is only better than us, so how can he be qualified for us to pay our respects to him."
"Everything is fine."
The handsome young man glanced around with watery eyes, and the other five young men fell silent.
Ji Mo is the undisputed number one member of the younger generation of the Ji clan, and he has followed Granny Ying since he was a child, so Ji Mo’s status becomes even more special... Many people have concluded that Ji Mo will be the leader of the Ji clan. The next head of the mansion.
"You also know that I am following Grandma Ying." Ji Mo said slowly.
"Yes." The five young men all showed admiration in their eyes.
Grandma Shadow...
There are two figures at the top of the entire Ji clan, one is the clan leader Ji Jiuhuo! The other one is Granny Shadow! Grandma Ying is Ji Jiuhuo's biological sister, and she has also lived for nearly four hundred years, but there is no doubt that she has also been a monk in the Zifu for three hundred years.
The two of them are the two Zifu monks disclosed by the Ji family.
As for whether there are still Zifu monks secretly, it's hard to say. Of course, a tribe must hide some of its trump cards, whether they are real or not, so that it can last long.
"Grandma Ying taught me swordsmanship." Ji Mo said softly, "Compared with Grandma Ying's, my swordsmanship is far behind. Do you know why the six of us were sent by the sect master to come to this Winged Snake Lake to meet Ji Mo? Ning?"
"I heard that the other Dongfu, Beifu, and Nanfu all sent their younger generation disciples to pay homage to Master Ji Ning, so our sect also sent six of us."
"wrong."
Ji Mo shook his head gently.
"Our clan is the foundation of the Ji family. The clan leader and Grandma Ying are all from our clan." Ji Mo said, "Our clan also occupies the largest territory, and the number of innate creatures far exceeds that of the other four clans. Even The Chijia Guards are also stationed in our clan. Why should our clan learn from other clans?"
"Why is that?" Everyone looked at Ji Mo.
Ji Mo said softly: "Because Granny Ying visited Winged Snake Lake a year ago."
"Grandma Shadow is coming to Yi Snake Lake?" The other five young people suddenly had many thoughts in their minds.
Ji Mo said: "The patriarch once praised Young Master Ji Ning greatly, thinking that Young Master Ji Ning will definitely be the number one member of our Ji family in the future! That's why Grandma Ying came to Yi Snake Lake to see for herself what Ji Ning is capable of..."
"how?"
"What did Grandma Ying say?" The five young men all looked at Ji Mo expectantly.
There was a strange look in Ji Mo's eyes, and he said slowly: "After Grandma Ying came back, I asked how I compare with Master Ji Ning. Grandma Ying just said that it's not a comparison. It's not easy to compare. I continued to ask about Master Ji Ning's sword skills. To what level it has reached, Grandma Ying just said one thing - unfathomable!"
"Unfathomable!" The five young people were shocked. For Granny Ying to say this, how terrifying is Ji Ning's swordsmanship?
"Everyone, it's time to get off the boat." A boatman shouted loudly.
The six of them looked around and saw that the ferry was almost pulling over. The buildings in the distance were rising one after another, and the scenery was even more beautiful. The six of them couldn't help but marvel, and Ji Mo's eyes lit up: "Is this Ji Ning living here?"
