Chapter 247 The End of the World
To the east of Bohai County is the endless Bohai Sea. The Bohai Sea continues to advance to the east, and the vast Pacific Ocean is immense. Of course, people in this day and age do not know that this sea is called the Pacific Ocean.
After leaving Dongping County, Duan Tianshou, who had been renamed Duan Tianya by Yuan Chang, experienced a lot of wind and frost all the way. On the way, he encountered all kinds of difficulties, some were chased by others, and some were severely beaten. However, Duan Tianya endured it, picking some wild fruits to fill his stomach when he was hungry, and drinking some mountain rain when he was thirsty. During this period, Duan Tianya also passed through towns, mountains and forests, and met powerful people, but his intuition told Duan Tianya that these people were not the people he was looking for. Therefore, Duan Tianya continued to move eastward, until he saw the sea, Duan Tianya did not hesitate at all, made a raft, and resolutely sailed towards the unknown sea. Because, Duan Tianya kept in mind what Yuan Chang had said, he wanted to become stronger and not let the tragedy that happened to him happen again. Therefore, he can only do it if he becomes stronger.
"Hmm, where is this?"
Duan Tianya opened his eyes and reached out to rub his aching head. It turned out that after entering the sea, Duan Tianya unfortunately encountered wind and waves, how could the small raft withstand the ravages of wind and waves. Finally, after some wandering, we came to this nameless island.
"Hey, your life is not bad, you can survive such a big storm. β
Just when Duan Tianya was puzzled, an old but clear voice suddenly came from his ears. Duan Tianya looked up and saw an old man in tattered clothes looking at him with a look of surprise.
Duan Tianya hurriedly stood up, clasped his fists and saluted, and asked, "Dare to ask the old man, where is this place?"
"Huh!"
The old man smiled, as if he was smiling bitterly, as if he was sneering.
"Where the hell does this place be? You are the same as me, you were swept up by the wind and waves to this nameless island, I thought that this was the end of my life, but I didn't expect that God would treat me well, but he sent you to accompany me. Don't overthink it, young man, take this fish to fill your stomach. β
The old man said, handing a grilled fish to Duan Tianya.
"Thank you, old man!"
Duan Tianya respectfully took it, and saw that the old man also had a grilled fish in his hand, so he began to eat it with confidence. If the old man didn't have it, with Duan Tianya's temperament, he would naturally not accept it.
Although Duan Tianya didn't say anything, the old man saw Duan Tianya's eyes and secretly praised him in his heart.
The old man took a bite of the grilled fish, and then asked casually, "Young man, how did you run to this sea? Don't you know that on this sea, people will die at any time?"
Duan Tianya swallowed the grilled fish, and then replied: "Old man, I can't hide it, I crossed east this time to find a master to learn the art. β
"Huh!"
The old man sneered again, feeling that Duan Tianya's answer was very interesting, and asked again: "Why do you want to go to the sea to find someone to learn art? It was your elders who asked you to come, don't they know that this is going to send you to death?"
After Duan Tianya heard this, he told him what had happened, and finally, Duan Tianya said loudly: "Old man, the lord saved my life and showed me a way, I believe the lord will not lie to me." Besides, I also want to make myself a strong man, hoe the strong and help the weak, so that all the people in the world can live a good life. β
"Young man, your ambitions are quite high, and I hope you can do it. β
After the old man finished speaking, he stopped talking, but lowered his head and concentrated on eating his grilled fish.
In the next few days, Duan Tianya began to build rafts again, and he decided to continue his journey to the east. However, during this period, Duan Tianya helped the old man collect a lot of food and helped the old man build a wooden house, so that the old man did not have to continue to live in the cave.
In this way, after the sixth day, everything Duan Tianya could do was done, and his raft had already been done, so he left the old man and continued his journey.
However, the old man I see today is different from usual.
I saw the old man with a solemn face, kneeling on the straw mat, with an iron sword flickering with cold light on each side of his left and right hands. At a glance, it makes people's hearts chill, and there is a faint blood light, which shows how much blood is stained on the sword.
"Old gentleman?"
Duan Tianya looked surprised, he was not stupid, from the old man's appearance today, he had already seen that the old man might be a master. It's just that he doesn't know why the old man came out today.
The old man looked at Duan Tianya and said with a look of reminiscence: "I was a swordsman in the Central Plains back then, and there were countless masters who died under my sword. It wasn't until one day that I realized that I had done nothing in my life, but had killed many people and indirectly harmed their families. So, after I came to my senses, I banished myself to this deserted island and let myself taste the loneliness. It wasn't until your words that I realized that I was wrong, that I exiled myself like this, it is better to do something for the people, even the smallest things, can make up for my past mistakes, to be alone like this, it is better to be banished, but to escape. However, now that I am old, it is too late to return to the Central Plains to make up for my mistakes. So, I thought about entrusting this responsibility to you. However, I do not know what your character is, so I have secretly observed you these days, and found that you are a man worthy of trust. Duan Tianya, let me ask you, are you willing to learn swords from me?"
Duan Tianya was overjoyed, it seemed that Yuan Chang let him go east to the sea, perhaps it was to let him find the old man in front of him. Since this was the case, Duan Tianya naturally did not hesitate.
"The master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship!"
Duan Tianya knelt directly to the old man and respectfully bowed.
The old man nodded with satisfaction, and said again: "Since you worship me as a teacher, I will tell you my name, and I will order Ye Wujian." The sword technique I created is called [Phantom Sword], and it doesn't have any moves, but it needs to be perceived by the heart. The sword is the king of a hundred soldiers, and only those who are heroic and righteous can learn the essence of the sword. Although my swordsmanship is profound, I have not been able to practice it to the extreme, perhaps because my heart is not full of righteousness. But I have seen from you that you will be able to reach a point where I cannot do it. [Phantom Sword] is invisible, and where the intention is, it is the place where the sword comes out. As long as you remember this, you will understand the true meaning of [Phantom Sword]. β
"Thank you for your teachings!"
Yuan Chang also told him that learning other people's swordsmanship is only a shadow of others in the end, and maybe he can only reach the other party's Cheng dΓΉ for life. However, the [Phantom Sword] is invisible, as long as he comprehends his true meaning, he has unlimited room for development, but it is his most suitable stunt.
"These two swords are my family heirlooms, and unlike ordinary swords, these two swords are software that can be transformed at will. I will give you one of them, hoping that you will be able to carry forward the power of the [Phantom Sword] in the future. You are my apprentice, and you must not follow my original path. Otherwise, even if I break my oath not to use my sword again, I will kill you with my own hands. β
"The disciples understand that they should take the people of the world as their own responsibility. β
Duan Tianya's face was determined, he became stronger not to bully the weak, but to save the people from fire and water. Therefore, of course, he will not do unrighteous things.
"That's great!"
Ye Wujian could see Duan Tianya's character, which was also the reason why he was willing to teach the [Phantom Sword] to Duan Tianya.
"I'll demonstrate my comprehension of the [Phantom Sword] below, and then you can go through it, how much you can learn depends on your understanding, and I can't teach you more. β
"Yes, master!"
Then, Ye Wujian moved his body, like a man dance, which made people dazzled. However, Duan Tianya did not doubt the awe-inspiring momentum hidden behind this man dance. If someone is in the middle of the dance, they will definitely be crushed. Duan Tianya also understood that Ye Wujian's sword moves were his understanding of the [Illusory Sword], if Duan Tianya learned from Ye Wujian, then his achievements would stop at Ye Wujian's, which was not what Duan Tianya was pursuing.
Therefore, when watching Ye Wujian dance the sword, Duan Tianya was also making a gesture in his mind. What kind of sword path should I take, and what kind of sword moves should I use?
While watching Ye Wujian dance the sword, a set of sword moves gradually formed in Duan Tianya's mind, but this set of sword moves was still in the embryonic form. It takes a lot of time to take shape.
Ye Wujian had already finished dancing the sword, and when he saw Duan Tianya's eyes closed and pondering, he knew that he had already realized something. secretly praised Duan Tianya's understanding in his heart, and did not disturb him, but left gently, this is all he can teach. The rest of the things are completely up to Duan Tianya to comprehend by himself.
A month later, Duan Tianya finally used his own [Phantom Sword].
Then, Duan Tianya and Ye Wujian had a try, and the result made Ye Wujian very satisfied. Therefore, Duan Tianya can go out and return to the Central Plains to realize his ideals.
"Tianya, your [Phantom Sword] has surpassed me. All you have to do in the future is to play against more masters to find out where you fall short and improve on them. You must know that there is no end to learning, and you must not be complacent because of temporary success. I hope you'll get to where I haven't go, okay, let's go!"
"The grace of the master's teaching, the apprentice dare not forget it! The apprentice left today, and I hope the master will take care!"
Duan Tianya knelt down and kowtowed to Ye Wujian three times, then suddenly turned around and left without the slightest hesitation.
Since then, Duan Tianya has embarked on his return journey and begun his path of training.
[PS: The reason why I wrote about Begonia and Simon is first of all because I like these characters. Secondly, I can use it later, and I don't want to make some vests casually, so I just use these characters. Maybe some people don't like it, so please silently move the mouse to the red cross in the upper right, and don't have to go to the book review area to spray. I won't look at it, just delete it and ban it, so everyone will be unhappy. As the saying goes, buying and selling is not benevolent, leave some room for each other, and you can still be friends in the future. Finally, thank you for your support!!]
