Meng Anying was the only one in the group who didn't care about anything else. Every day, when it was time, he would pick up his sword and practice martial arts. Behind his back, his fellow disciples mocked him for being an idiot. They pointed at him and made up all kinds of stories about him. They wanted to make him extremely unbearable in order to please Anlin.
However, Chu Anlin watched him from afar. She saw him gasping for breath again and again, but he refused to stop. He raised his hand to wipe away the sweat on his forehead and continued to practice with his sword. It was as if practicing martial arts wasn't a mission, nor was it a necessity for self-defense. In his eyes, it was an extremely beautiful thing that was worth pursuing for his entire life. Chu Anlin was a kind-hearted person. How could she join the others in making a fuss when she saw this scene?
Everyone talked about it for a while. When they saw their junior sister's cold and indifferent expression, one of them thought he was clever. He clapped his hands and laughed, "That's right. That kind of good-for-nothing, even if he works hard for his entire life, he'll still be a burden. What's the point of talking about him? No wonder junior sister is so annoyed. Come come come, let's play cards. "It was also because of this that Chu Anlin's attention was diverted.
Unexpectedly, the former sect master of Mount Hua suddenly had an idea. On the last day of the meeting, he proposed to test the disciples' martial arts on the spot in the mansion. Not only was it for his friends to watch, but it was also to test their progress over the years. They only had half a day to prepare. In the afternoon, they gathered in the martial arts hall. This caused everyone to panic. They hadn't practiced martial arts for several days, so even their movements were rusty. They all anxiously asked others for the incantation or found an empty space to practice repeatedly.
Only Meng Anying was unhurried. He followed his usual routine. After practicing for a while, he returned to his room to take a nap. He had always been a loner. His routine was unusual. Since no one noticed anything unusual about him, they also didn't treat him as an opponent worthy of attention. They were busy with their own affairs, so how could they pay attention to him?
The final result was unexpected. A group of self-proclaimed "gifted" disciples were unbearably clumsy in their martial arts. Their moves were crooked, causing everyone to wring their hands. However, not only was Meng Anying able to answer her master's questions fluently, she was also able to wield her sword as she wished. Every strike of her sword was extremely steady and powerful, carrying with it the determination to stab the enemy in one strike, not biased at all. Although there was no enemy in front of him, everyone believed that if there really was someone who fought with him, within a few moves, their body would be pierced with several holes.
The master of the mansion clapped his hands and laughed heartily. Then he called over a group of highly skilled retainers to come and ask for advice from this' Mount Hua's brilliant disciple '. The rest of the disciples were defeated one by one. They dragged their long swords and slipped into the crowd. Meng Anying, on the other hand, displayed her might as soon as she stepped onto the stage. Her skills swept through the entire field, and she easily took the lead. When the group of servants came down from the stage, they were all covered in wounds of varying degrees.
Although there was still a smile on the official's face, it was a forced smile. He said, "It is true that a famous teacher produces a brilliant disciple, and a hero is born in the youth! Young Hero Meng's strength is indeed astonishing. These good-for-nothings in my residence are useless. "
Meng Anying didn't give them any face earlier, but now she didn't show any modesty. She slowly sheathed her blood-stained sword and said coldly, "A martial arts competition is a martial arts competition. Both sides are betting their lives the moment they start fighting. There's no distinction between a spar and a spar. Those who are afraid of death do not need to step into the martial world. " Her words made everyone feel extremely awkward. The former Mount Hua Sect Leader was modest on the surface, but in his heart he was very happy.
It was at that time that Meng Anying's shadow was first left in Chu Anlin's heart. It was like a fire seed that gradually took root and sprouted. She gradually lost interest in the other martial brothers' banter. When she was with Meng Anying, even if the two of them didn't speak and just sat quietly across from each other, it seemed to be a kind of happiness. Therefore, whenever she had some free time, she would carry a small basket and prepare some food. She would sneak out to give it to Meng Anying.
Meng Anying had always been a loner. Suddenly someone disturbed his life, so he was very impatient. But Chu Anlin was neither anxious nor angry. She stayed by his side like a well-behaved little rabbit. She found a rock nearby and sat down, smiling as she watched him practice his sword. When he finally put away his sword and returned to his room, she took out a handkerchief with a faint scent of incense and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Over time, Meng Anying also got used to having a little girl by his side. When he was in a good mood, he would even have a meal with her.
Since that time, the former Sect Leader paid more attention to the quiet Meng Anying. He often took time out to give him pointers and sent him and Chu Anlin to take care of some tasks together.
Chu Anlin had been intelligent since she was a child. She knew all kinds of martial arts techniques and mental cultivation methods like the back of her hand. When she spoke, she was clear and logical. She also had a photographic memory. But because of her delicate body, she couldn't really practice powerful martial arts. When her father sent her to Mount Hua to practice martial arts, it was with the hope of strengthening her body. Between the two of them, Chu Anlin was more scholarly while Meng Anying was more martial arts. They were a good partner. They learned from each other's strengths to offset each other's weaknesses.
After a long time, the disciples gradually agreed that Meng Anying was the one who picked the flower on Mount Hua. Because Meng Anying was no longer the person he used to be, his position in everyone's hearts immediately changed from being a little brother who was dragging him down to being their big martial brother. It wasn't that Meng Anying and Chu Anlin didn't have a dreamy period. Mount Hua also happened to be a place with excellent scenery. When the two of them weren't practicing martial arts, they would travel hand in hand. Every corner of Mount Hua was covered in their footprints.
Li Yijie and Nangong Xue listened from the side and felt the same way. The only difference was that the two of them were a real couple. At that time, Li Yijie hadn't sorted out his own feelings. Speaking of which, it seemed that the Li Yijie of the past was even more obtuse than Meng Anying.
Nangong Xue looked at her martial brother and then looked at her master. She silently made a comparison. The two of them were equally obsessed with martial arts. They were also equally hardworking. It could be said that they were very similar. They were as close as father and son. It was no wonder that Meng Anying had always regarded Li Yijie as the number one disciple who would succeed the Sect Leader in the future. She had always turned a blind eye to the budding love between the two of them. She had never tried to stop it. Perhaps she saw the sweet moments between her and Chu Anlin from the two of them.
Nangong Xue saw that Meng Anying's eyes were drifting and her consciousness was drifting. She seemed to have completely sunk into her old dreams. She knew that if this story continued, it would be destined to be a tragedy. However, there was a kind of wishful thinking in her heart. She hoped that the day would come later. She also hoped that the situation would change and that this pair of lovers would finally be together.
"Everything has its own hidden destiny before it happens. But there won't be the slightest bit of foreshadowing. It won't let you know beforehand. Otherwise, a lot of sadness would be avoided in the world. " At that time, the Jin army was getting restless. The Great Ming army was retreating step by step. In the end, Mount Hua Pai couldn't stay out of the matter. The Sect Leader sent a group of disciples to the northeast region to resist the invading army. He also sent a small group of disciples to cross Shanhai Pass and enter the interior. They launched a surprise attack on the Nuzhen tribe and destroyed their nest. "Let's give them a 'fire in their backyard'. Many years later, when I think back on this sentence, I think it was a joke. Not only we didn't set fire in the enemy's backyard, we set fire to our own backyard instead. "
At that time, Meng Anying and Chu Anlin were both in the army. At first, the situation was good. They lured a group of troops out and surrounded them in the barren hills. They beat the enemy until they were forced to retreat again and again. Meng Anying decided to pursue them into the forest and kill them all. The disciples were young and hot-blooded, they cheered in unison.
There were a lot of forks in the forest, so they split up and went their separate ways. However, halfway through, Chu Anlin suddenly missed a step and fell down a steep cliff. Meng Anying was unable to hold her hand. She hurriedly dropped down a branch and went through untold hardships to reach the bottom of the cliff. After circling around, she still couldn't find any trace of her. This time she was really disheartened. She was filled with the fear of losing her, as well as the confusion of how she would face this bleak life in the future.
Chu Anlin fell down the cliff but did not die. When she fell down, the cliff wall was intertwined with many branches and protruding rocks. Many obstructions caused her to fall far away from the place she fell. Fortunately, there was a lot of thatch there, so there wasn't much damage. She only hurt one of her legs and walked with difficulty. She just wanted to find a quiet place to bandage her leg. In the end, he found a cave with great difficulty. He was overjoyed and stepped into it without thinking. "Although this step was only an inch away, it took us to the ends of the earth. From now on, we are destined to be separated by life and death. "
Chu Anlin dragged her injured leg and limped into the cave. When he lit the torch, he suddenly saw a man covered in blood lying on the ground as if he was dead. Chu Anlin was shocked. She almost wanted to turn around and run away, but she was kind-hearted. Even if it was an injured small animal, she wouldn't sit by and do nothing. In the end, her conscience prevailed. She tiptoed and carefully walked forward to check his breath. It was warm to the touch. Sure enough, there was still some weak breath.
Chu Anlin resisted the fear in her heart. She took out the secret healing medicine from Mount Hua and fed him two pills. She tried to circulate her internal energy to help him adjust his breath. However, because her internal energy was weak, the effect wasn't obvious. She saw that the person's face was pale and he was breathing more than he was breathing in. There was a large patch of blood on his chest that dyed his clothes. He must have lost a lot of blood. How could he nourish himself in the wilderness? She had no choice but to go deep into the mountains and catch some wild chickens and wild rabbits. She roasted them for him to eat and barely satisfied her hunger.
After a few days of careful care, the person finally woke up. The first time he saw An Lin, this beautiful woman who was guarding him, he thought he was looking at a fairy and thought he was dead. "It was also because of that one glance that he fell in love with An Lin at first sight! Not bad, An Lin is gentle, beautiful, and cute. Which man in the world wouldn't be moved by such a woman? "
Although the original village lord already knew about his past, he still couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he heard it again. At this moment, he thought, "It's not necessarily true that An Lin is the best woman in the world. My Ah Yin is much more beautiful than her." Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Even Jiang Liechen could vaguely see the beautiful figure of the woman he missed. As for the man's identity, everyone had a rough guess in their hearts.
An Lin explained that she was also stranded here. Seeing that he was heavily injured, she couldn't bear to see him bleed to death, so she wrapped his wounds. The person saw that the inside of the cloth wrapped around his body was dyed red with blood, but the outside was as clean as new. Although the wound still hurt, it wasn't as serious as before, where he fainted from the pain. He finally believed her. Maybe he thought of her as a normal village girl and let his guard down.
He knew a few words of Chinese. Although his tone was still stiff, it was enough for the two of them to communicate. He called himself Zaketu, a member of the Nuzhen tribe in Jianzhou not far away. He was ordered by his father to lead an army to fight against the Ming army. However, because his martial arts were weak and his strategic thinking was ordinary, his father and uncle didn't like him. Even when he led the army, he only led a small group of weak soldiers.
After being surrounded, he had no way to break out. The reinforcements didn't arrive and in the end, the entire army fell apart. He was also hit by several arrows and fell off a cliff. He thought that he was going to die, but unexpectedly, the heavens helped him. Not only did he escape death, but he also met An Lin.
At that time, the name of the Nurhaci brothers was a huge problem in the ears of the Ming Dynasty officials and generals. However, in the martial arts world, not many people knew about them. Chu Anlin was pure and didn't care about worldly matters, so she didn't know about them. "If it was another Junior Brother, he would have guessed that he was the son of the head of the bandits and would have taken him down immediately. Then, everything wouldn't have progressed like today."
