Martial Arts: My Proficiency Panel

Another day of snow.

The huge Guiyuan Gate was covered with snow, and the majestic mountains were a little more delicate.

Ning Xiu arrived as promised and came to the inner courtyard.

At the door, Li Jiner was dressed tightly, her face was flushed under the brim of her hat, and beside her stood a man with a weathered face, his hands were knuckle protruding like a pair of eagle claws.

"Brother Ning, let's go."

Seeing Ning Xiu coming, Li Jin'er asked.

"Well, I'll listen to you." Ning Xiu nodded, and looked at the man beside her. This man's aura was invisible, but Ning Xiu had no doubt that this man was as secretive as Wu Weizi.

"Ada, let's go."

With that said, Li Jiner and Ning Xiu walked side by side, followed by the man whom Li Jiner called Ada.

The two walked, creaking under their feet, Li Jin'er said:

"There are deer in the back mountain, and a lot of medicinal materials, and pigs..." She counted on her fingers while talking, and she didn't finish counting with her fingers. She simply said, "Anyway, there are a lot of things."

Ning Xiu listened with a smile on the side, thinking that this back mountain is the resource cultivation place of Guiyuanmen.

Needless to say the importance of this medicinal material, and the deer and pigs that Li Jin'er was talking about were probably some kind of strange beasts, otherwise it would be difficult to explain where so many blood pills came from.

He also understood that there are countless strange beasts in this world, not every strange beast is caused by fragments of the panel, and the strange beasts with fragments are a minority after all.

And most of the strange beasts, although stronger than domestic animals, but for stronger warriors, these strange beasts are equal to domestic animals.

The three of them didn't stop all the way, they came down from Guizang Peak, and walked along the road for a long time before arriving at the boundary behind Guiyuan Seven Peaks.

Before he entered the back mountain, Ning Xiu saw a dozen figures patrolling here, and there were still a few huts in front of him, with fires burning inside.

The visitor saw the three of them, and one of them went to the house to report. When they got there, the patrolling people stepped forward together:

"Meet the Young Sect Master, Chief Zhao."

Although many of them have never seen him, but Ning Xiu can walk with the young sect master and her guards, combined with other people's descriptions, nine out of ten will not leave.

"Um."

Seeing them like this, Li Jin'er got a little airy, and turned to look at Ning Xiu.

Ning Xiu gave him a thumbs up, "Stylish."

"That is."

Li Jin'er said: "Get up, I'm going to the back mountain, tell them to go away."

"Okay, little one takes orders."

Those people still wanted to say something, but when they heard Li Jiner's words, they gave up their thoughts and moved out of the way.

After entering the back mountain, Ning Xiu saw the vast mountains from the mountainside at a glance. Some mountains were blocked by fences, and there were some animals in them, while others had no fences and many huts were built.

The snow-colored mountains are indeed unique.

Looking at the snow scene, Ning Xiu walked to the top of the mountain unconsciously.

"Ha~ha~ here, look over there, Tianchi."

The climbing road was tiring, and Li Jiner was out of breath when he reached the top of the mountain, but he was more excited, pointing to the lake on one side.

Ning Xiu heard the words and looked:

Under the cover of snow, the lake on the top of the mountain is like a whole piece of emerald green glass, without any ripples.

There is a mountain built on the opposite side of Tianchi, which is not small in size. A five-storey pavilion seems to be inlaid in that mountain. From a distance, it looks like a pagoda, with layers on top of each other, with high eaves and teeth, very majestic.

"What's the place over there?"

"This lake is called Tianchi, and it raises a lot of fish...there is called Tianchi Pavilion, and there is a strange person living there."

Ning Xiu was a little puzzled: "Strange person?"

Li Jin'er nodded: "Yes, strange old man, I'm so annoying, I don't give you any face."

After finishing speaking, she went to ask Ning Xiu to go to the lake to play together. There was a small boat by the lake, which could be used for rowing in the middle of the lake.

At this time.

Ah Da, who had never spoken a word, spoke now and stood in front of Li Jiner: "Miss, the lake is not safe."

His voice was calm, without any emotion, but inexplicably convinced.

"How come, apart from that old man, where is it not safe?"

At this moment, the three of them had already walked to the edge of Tianchi Lake. Ning Xiu looked at the calm lake surface. The lake water was not frozen, with occasional ripples. Hearing Ah Da's reminder, he felt a sense of uneasiness.

Ada didn't explain anything, hooked his toes, and kicked a stone into the middle of the lake.

With a plop, the stone caused circles of ripples, and after a few breaths, nothing happened.

However--

There was a sound of rushing water, and a white spinning shadow suddenly appeared in the center of the lake, and finally broke through the lake with a crash.

"This is……"

Ning Xiu saw the true face of the long white shadows clearly, it turned out to be long and thin silver fish with beards, dense teeth in their mouths, and a swift and fierce body, like a snake but not a fish, looking chilly.

"It's so fierce...they weren't like this before."

Li Jiner murmured.

She has also been to the Tianchi Pavilion before, and went to row a boat. These fish are also docile with the fish raised in her own pond. Who knows...

"It turns out that the little girl is here."

An old man in a white robe with a white beard descended from the sky more than twenty feet away. When he was less than half a foot away from the lake, there was a gust of air at the soles of his feet, which slowed down his figure, and then he tiptoed again and jumped up from the lake. Get up and come to Ning Xiu and the others.

Such a handsome lightness skill!

The old man first looked at Li Jin'er and A Da, and then turned his gaze to Ning Xiu, a stranger.

"I have seen the seniors, I am Zhao Ning."

Before he could ask, Ning Xiu first opened his mouth to explain his identity.

The old man's skin is loose, but he has a sense of ferocity. He doesn't have the kindness that an old man should have. Hearing this, he nodded: "You are the apprentice of the sect master—very good."

"Old man, where is your hook? I want to eat fish."

Li Jin'er is not afraid of anything, even though the old man looks evil, but she has confidence in bringing Ah Da today, at worst, ask Ah Da to fight with him, to put an end to the old man's arrogance.

"My surname is Bai, and Miss Li is of the same seniority. You should call me Grandpa." Old Bai showed a ferocious expression, "Also, that is my weapon, the seventy-two-section purple gold rope, not a fishhook."

As for Li Jin'er, he had nothing to do, he couldn't hit him, he couldn't scold him, he couldn't scare him, he couldn't help shaking his head, not knowing what to do.

So he turned to Ning Xiu: "Chief Zhao, the visitor is a guest, why don't you come to the pavilion and have a talk."

Ning Xiu cupped his fists: "Old Bai is so kind, I dare not refuse."

Bai Lao let out a "huh" and turned to lead the way. Ning Xiu glanced at Li Jin'er and followed.

"Wait for me..."

She knew that Ning Xiu had betrayed again.

...

Sitting in the house, Ning Xiu could see the glazed Tianchi from one side of his face, the sound of the lid scraping the rim of the cup, and Bai Lao's harsh tone:

"Little girl, why are you interested in coming to my place today? You are so afraid of me."

Li Jin'er didn't like the bitter taste of tea, so she looked at the steaming tea and said, "Come here and see if you, old man, froze to death."

"hehe."

Old Bai took a sip of tea, but was not angry.

"Bai Lao, what kind of fish is raised in this lake that is so fierce?"

After a while, Ning Xiu asked.

The scene just now was really frightening, the snake-like fish swarmed in groups, they were not slow and had sharp teeth in their mouths, if a person fell, there would definitely be no bones left.

"This is Tengyu, a strange beast." Bai Lao glanced at the lake, and continued, "It's not always so fierce, but every year at this time, the fish in Tianchi are almost eaten by them, and Tengyu is hungry. , and it’s extremely ferocious.”

"So that's how it is."

Ning Xiuyong's tea moistened his somewhat dry lips, and he knew it in his heart.

"This fish is extremely fat. In my opinion, the dragon meat in the sky is nothing more than this, but there are not many of them... Today is the right time for you to come. This is the fattest time for Tengyu. I can just grab one and give it to you to taste. .”

Hearing this, Ning Xiu smiled, but Li Jin'er reacted greatly: "Okay, quickly bring your fishhook."

Bai Lao's expression froze, but the next moment he moved again, snorted coldly, stood up and stood outside the window.

Immediately, the momentum changed, the white hair moved automatically without wind, and a slender black shadow flew out from the cuff, piercing into the lake in an instant.

In the next second, the long chain in Bai Lao's cuff shook violently. He was not in a hurry when he saw it, and he grabbed it, and the long chain quickly retracted. A snake-shaped whitebait with a tip piercing through its head, half a meter long, was just like that. He was tightly grasped by him, and he couldn't break free no matter how he swung.

"There's fish to eat."

Bai Lao muttered to himself, retracted the peculiar long-chain weapon, peeled open the belly of the fish with a pointed sharp blade, quickly removed the internal organs without any residue, then found a plate and put it away, took out a few pairs of bowls and chopsticks, and set them up.

The table where they sat was burning hot water, and there was a fire, and Bai Lao brought another casserole, poured water on it.

Then, he began to slice the meat, enjoying the process.

All of this is smooth and flowing, and Bai Lao didn't do this kind of thing less before seeing him.

Soon, a 10-jin Tengyu was sliced, and each piece was extremely thin and even. The white and red raw fish was bright in color, just as what Bai Lao said was plump.

"Please use."

After Bai Lao said, he moved his index finger, picked up a slice and tasted it, and his stern face softened.

"Yaoyao, you can't eat it raw, so cook it first."

As Ning Xiu said, he picked up a slice and rinsed it in boiling water, then put it in Li Jiner's bowl.

"I definitely don't want to eat it raw, otherwise I will become so ugly as an old man."

While eating the delicious fish in the bowl, she still didn't forget to give Bai Lao a slap.

"..."

"No, no, this meat is delicious only because it exists in the sky."

Ning Xiu didn't like to eat raw food very much, so he picked up a piece of fish and put it into his mouth.

The fat melts in the mouth, and just one bite has already conquered Ningxiu's taste buds.

Afterwards, Ning Xiu picked up another slice and tried shabu-shabu. The tastes were different, but they were all the best.

Ah Da has not spoken, just sitting and eating fish, busy.

Bai Lao took out his drink and drank heavily.

Ten catties of Tengyu were quickly wiped out.

How fierce Tengyu was at that time, now they enjoy eating it so much that they completely forgot how fierce it was before.

...

Then, bid farewell to Bai Lao.

Ning Xiu went shopping with Li Jin'er again and saw several kinds of exotic animals. When he saw a huge animal pig, Ning Xiu still made fun of Li Jin'er with this, and played around again.

At this time, the sky was getting dark gradually, so he went back to the house and returned to the courtyard.

So far, the day is over.
