Gu Qingyan had finished what she had to do in Shimen today, so she and Beiming went to find Han Yan and the others. Gu Qingyan really didn't expect that the guys around her were very enthusiastic in treating guests. With Han Yan

They went through their usual training items one by one, including climbing, rolling, swords, guns and sticks, concealed weapons and traps, and jumping up and down. It was so fun.

Gu Qingyan and Beiming searched around the training ground but couldn't find anyone. Instead, they listened to the shadow guards praising Han Yan. Gu Qingyan was also helpless and asked Beiming: "What are they doing?

Woolen cloth?"

Beiming laughed dryly. It was not appropriate to tell the truth. He replied silently in his heart: "I'm not afraid that your little ancestor will be bullied. This is to give the group a show of strength and test."

The whole world knows about the relationship between Gu Qingyan and Han Yan, but Gu Qingyan is willing to blur her eyes and mind.

Dong Xin happened to see a secret guard approaching, stopped him and asked, "Where is Master Han, Master Han?"

The secret guard saluted and replied: "Master, Master, Young Master Han and the others are at the racecourse behind."

"What are you going to do at the racecourse?" Gu Qingyan asked. In the early years, a flat area was opened up in the northwest corner behind Shimen, and a gate was installed for horse breeding in Taohuajian Valley. Because it was close to Shimen, it was allocated to Shimen.

, let Gu Qingyan supervise.

The secret guard said: "I want to see Master Han's master's horse riding skills."

Gu Qingyan smiled happily and said, "Let's go over and have a look."

He took Beiming Dongxin and went there, not forgetting to turn around and tell the secret guard: "If you see Dongqing later, let him come too."

The racecourse was very lively. Dongsheng and Han Yan chose their horses one after another, ran around in a circle to get used to the horses, and then began to compete on horseback kung fu. These two people were doing each move, and no one gave in to the other.

Although Dongsheng was still injured, he was not at any disadvantage. He was able to deal with Hanyan with ease. Hanyan still put some water on him at the beginning. After all, he was facing an injured person, but once he saw this posture, he slowly became more serious.

.

When Gu Qingyan came, the two were fighting fiercely. When people around saw Gu Qingyan, they wanted to salute, but Gu Qingyan stopped them: "Watch the battle carefully, maybe you can learn from it too."

Dongsheng's horse-control skills are among the best among the twelve ghost guards. Coupled with his ability to dodge and flexibly attack, he was able to suppress Han Yan for a while. Han Yan had always been stable and capable of both offense and defense.

In the first half of the period, he basically relied on defense, which consumed a lot of Dongsheng's physical strength. In the middle round, Dongsheng's physical strength decreased, and he gradually increased his attack. Dongsheng was flexible and changed his method to defend while recharging his energy. In the second half,

Duan, both of them suddenly exerted their strength, and the fight was wonderful, and everyone was applauding, but in the end Dongsheng was still found by Han Yan, and fell off the horse with three consecutive moves, and the competition ended.

Gu Qingyan also clapped and applauded in the crowd. Dongsheng and Han Yan both walked over. Dongsheng cupped his fists and raised his hands: "Master."

Gu Qingyan stepped forward and patted his shoulder. As she got closer, she could feel Dongsheng's unstable breath: "Did you learn?"

"Yes." Dongsheng said. In the past, he always wanted to fight quickly, so he was the most powerful in the first half. Later, he would easily lose his breath due to too much consumption and create loopholes for others to attack.

.

This time against Han Yan, I learned from Han Yan that I should allocate my energy reasonably.

"Have you finished your work?" Han Yan took the initiative when he saw that Gu Qingyan had no intention of talking to him.

Gu Qingyan turned to look at him, smiled and nodded: "What have they brought you through?"

When Han Yan heard this, he smiled: "Don't you know everything?"

Gu Qingyan said "Okay" and asked Dongsheng: "What else do you want to take him to next?"

Dongsheng said: "I wanted to go to the thorn forest."

After Gu Qingyan heard this, it was okay for Han Yan to go, but they asked: "Aren't your injuries too serious?"

Dongsheng scratched the back of his head and chuckled: "So I just thought about it after a walk at the racecourse."

Gu Qingyan looked at the time, and it was already a long time after noon. Everyone must not have eaten yet, so she said: "Eat first, then think about it after eating. After all, we are training at Shimen, and what you have experienced in the morning is all

Isn’t it the most basic?”

As soon as Gu Qingyan said this, the dozen or so people who were connected to her immediately knew that Gu Qingyan was holding back her evil intentions to attack Han Yan. When they saw Gu Qingyan looking for them, they blinked, and that was it.

After that, they all dispersed to prepare for the big dinner at noon today. Gu Qingyan and Han Yan were left behind.

Gu Qingyan didn't say anything, and took out her favorite horse from the stable. It was a silver-maned Mongolian horse. It was Xu Shaolin's horse. When they bought the horse, they insisted on matching it with Gu Qingyan, so they gave it to her.

.

Getting on the horse, Han Yan saw that she had no bad reaction, so he also got on the horse.

Gu Qingyan said: "Anyway, they won't have anything to do with us. Let me take you for a walk. There is a place with great scenery past this horse farm."

As he said that he was going to the front, Han Yan hurried a few steps to stand side by side with Gu Qingyan: "Did you train like this at Shimen before?" He remembered that he had roughly experienced Shimen's training in the morning and asked Gu Qingyan.

Gu Qingyan nodded, and then explained: "Actually, everyone in our training has a specialization, it doesn't have to be good at everything. You see, when you see swords, guns and sticks, I just know how to sword. If you don't take advantage of other things, it's okay."

I don’t want to learn anymore.”

"It's basically sparring?"

"Well, after all, Master brought me in, and cultivation is personal. After Master taught me, I spent most of my time practicing." This is different from most sects. Most sects are familiar with each move together, and Ershimen

Not even the entire Peach Blossom Stream.

Each of them has a specialty, such as Gu Qingyan's hidden weapon light skills, Beiming's hidden attacks and assists, Dongqing's sword, Dongxin's positioning, and Dongsheng's flexible attacks. This means that although the basic moves are those,

How to use it well depends on your personal practice and figuring out which one suits you best.

Han Yan also saw this today. Although everyone he had sparred with had roughly the same moves, their usage was different, which made it impossible for him to attack them in the same way.

Gu Qingyan was proud of this. After all, after leaving Shimen and Peach Blossom Stream, he faced all kinds of enemies. He had to use various methods to deal with different people to reduce unnecessary losses and troubles.

"I heard them say that Shimen has its own cruel elimination system." Han Yan said.

Gu Qingyan smiled: "Yes, in fact, I couldn't understand why Master and the others set it up like this. This elimination system is just like today. If there is a challenge between you and Dongsheng, and Dongsheng loses, then

It's a demotion. When he is demoted to Shadow Guard, you have the right to decide whether to kill or keep him if he loses again, but even if he retains his name, he will be expelled from Shimen."

"Later you found out why?"

"Well, I found out after taking over Shimen. Because of people's hearts, you can see a lot of people's hearts in the sudden challenges. Is it a simple challenge or is it intentional? Is it just above board or is it a small trick? Slowly you will see.

Understood."

"What if someone like that wins?"

"He won't win, because if he plays a little trick once, there will be someone one or two levels higher than him waiting for him behind him. That's the only thing in Shimen where a high-level person can challenge a low-level person."

Speaking of this, Gu Qingyan looked at Han Yan and smiled: "Face and dignity are sometimes very important factors. Over time, after such things have happened several times, the people in Shimen will at least treat their fellow sects with pure thoughts.

Too many.”

Han Yan does not deny this, you can see it just by looking at the current Shimen.

"Furthermore, because of such an elimination, you never know when one day you will face a change, so you all focus on practicing, including the twelve ghost guards, Beiming, the four of them, and me."

Gu Qingyan is born with a kind of arrogance. Now that she is here, she will not allow herself to lose to anyone below.

Han Yan teased Gu Qingyan: "Has anyone ever challenged you?"

"Yes, otherwise how could I convince others?"

Gu Qingyan and Han Yan chatted lightly, but the determination in their eyes never changed. Han Yan had seen Shimen basic training and fought with people today, so he knew that Gu Qingyan was standing in this position.

Qing Yan, there is such strong tenacity and perseverance behind those words.

Normally, girls would feel aggrieved and cry when they were tired, suffered, scratched, but as for Gu Qingyan, he remembered what Dongsheng and the others said.

"My mistress always trains with me in front of us. When we get dirty, so does she. When we fall off the plum blossom pile, we still grunt. My mistress pats himself on the back and continues without saying a word."

"It's not uncommon for us to have bruises all over our bodies, let alone a little girl with delicate skin and tender flesh."

"One night we saw the master crying quietly, but as soon as he heard someone's footsteps, he immediately held back his tears, and the next day he was still training with us, talking and laughing."

"Walking through thorn forests, climbing cliffs, and doing mental exercises are all more immersive than us."

These words kept flashing in Han Yan's mind. Looking at Gu Qingyan, Han Yan asked: "Gu Qingyan, why are you working so hard?"

Gu Qingyan stopped his horse, looked at the scenery in the distance, and said: "Han Yan, I have worked hard to get where I am today. I know my suffering better than anyone else, but people who see me will not go there."

Think about this. They just want my life."

"If you didn't know me, and you didn't care about me like my three brothers, how could you think that what I went through was a desperate effort? Maybe you, like more people, would think that this is just a normal thing."

Gu Qingyan is not old, but sometimes she sees things very clearly. Everything she says makes sense. Others only see the surface of her appearance in front of others, and they only mention all the sacrifices she made behind her.

"Thank you for being able to see my back." Gu Qingyan said to Han Yan.

It's a blessing to have someone in this world who cares about those efforts and sacrifices, and that person is by your side, so why can't you say thank you?

Han Yan approached Gu Qingyan and held Gu Qingyan's hand on the reins: "Silly girl."

"Look." Gu Qingyan resisted the urge to cry and asked Han Yan to look into the distance. "When I was tired from practicing, I would come here by myself to watch the scenery."

Han Yan looked around and saw that there were woods, villages, and fields at the foot of the mountain. Birds occasionally flew over in the sky. His field of vision was vast. After looking at it for a long time, his heart would slowly open up.
