Chapter Seventy-Two: Master and Apprentice
"So, Brother Chen is cultivating the swordsmanship that consumes potential?" After listening to the master's explanation, Xu Zhen couldn't help but worry, "Does Brother Chen know, should we quietly tell him about this problem?"
"I don't know if the potential is consumed, but I don't want you to practice, my Bladeless Sword Sect has its own sword practice method of the Bladeless Sword Sect," Pu Feng said with a smile, "Although the Bladeless Sword Sect is a small faction, how can there be some secrets if it can establish a sect on top of the rivers and lakes?"
After knowing the direction of his future, Xu Zhen began to worry about Chen Changsheng again: "What about Brother Chen?
"No," Pu Feng admired Xu Zhen's kindness very much, praised this apprentice in his heart, and then glanced in the direction of the martial arts arena, "Chen Changsheng is a steady and down-to-earth person, I believe he knows what he is doing." ”
Chen Changsheng can be said to be the oldest person in Xu Heng's party, he began to defend the city in Xijing City at the age of sixteen, and guarded it for ten years, it was because of the stimulation of Xu Heng's arrival that he decided to leave his homeland and step into the rivers and lakes, and he can be called the big brother among Xu Heng, who is generally twenty-one or twelve years old.
His life experience is richer, and his personality is much calmer than when he was sixteen or seventeen. Since stepping into the rivers and lakes, he has maintained the attitude of watching more and listening more, talking less and doing less, and has been learning the ability to mix the rivers and lakes, and now it seems to be quite effective.
He knows the importance of martial arts in the rivers and lakes, so he is also very hard in practice. It's just that because I'm older and my foundation is too weak, my progress is slow.
And Pu Feng, who understands Chen Changsheng's calm personality, knows that he will not easily do something unfavorable to himself, so he is not very worried.
Thinking of this section, Pu Feng came back to his senses, and saw that the apprentice in front of him didn't know what he was thinking about fixedly, so he smiled and said, "What are you thinking about again?" Why don't you say it tonight, I'll finish the answer for you, and concentrate on practicing the sword in the future." ”
"Hehe, master, your smoke is so powerful, how do you know I'm thinking about things?" Xu Zhen's mind was seen through again, and he smiled embarrassedly.
"It's not easy to see through your thoughts?" Pu Feng reached out to pull the young man's face, the young man was embarrassed and wanted to avoid it, Pu Feng was fast, and he had already pinched the young man's cheek, "Everything is written on the face, it's difficult to see it!"
Seeing the young man's reluctant look, Pu Feng put down the hand that was pinching his cheeks, and scolded with a smile: "If there is anything to say, go back and repair it after speaking, after practicing for a day, you are not tired." ”
"Okay!" The scolded young man smiled instead, and he asked with a smile, "Master, aren't we from the Bladeless Sword Sect, when will you also find me a bladeless heavy sword," the young man salivated as he looked at the black long sword that the master usually held in his left hand and held at his waist, "The Bladeless Heavy Sword is so handsome, I have been envious for a long time." ”
"Haha, it turns out that this is the case," just thought of a way to solve this problem, Xu Zhen came over and asked, it can be said that it was a coincidence, Pu Feng put the bladeless heavy sword on the ground, and the pitch-black long sword stood upright on the ground, without any support.
After putting the sword away, Pu Feng said to his apprentice, "Xu Zhen, you try to try the bladeless heavy sword." ”
"Really, can you take it?"
Xu Zhen's face suddenly lit up, and after Pu Feng nodded, he rubbed his hands excitedly, and was impatient to draw his sword.
Holding it in his hand, the coolness from the hilt of the sword shocked the young man's spirit, and he raised his head, and in the expectant gaze of his master, he pulled it out hard.
The bladeless heavy sword did not move.
"Huh?"
The young man glanced up at Pu Feng in surprise, who still looked expectant.
Xu Zhen frowned, used all his strength, and struggled to pull it out!
Motionless.
This time, he didn't look at the master again, lowered his head, held the hilt of the sword with both hands, and drew the sword with all his strength in the posture of pulling a turnip.
Still not moving.
With only a bladeless heavy sword whose tip touched the ground, it seemed to weigh tens of millions of pounds, and the young man couldn't shake it even with all his strength.
The young man who had been in a stalemate with the sword for a long time was finally exhausted, Xu Zhen still held the hilt of the sword with both hands, sat down on the ground, panted and threw a "I see pity" gaze to his master, "Chu Chu moving" said: "Master......"
"Stop, stop!"
Xu Zhen's coquettishness in pretending to be a little girl made Pu Feng's scalp tingle, so he quickly stopped. If this kind of coquettishness is replaced by Shangguan Tingxue, it really has the power to make people feel stiff and carveous, but when it is displayed by a teenager, Pu Feng, who has a normal orientation, is a little unbearable.
He stopped Xu Zhen in place, not knowing what was wrong, Pu Feng held back goosebumps and ordered his apprentice, "You get up first." ”
"Okay," Xu Zhen stood up, unprepared by the master's sudden sternness, "Master, what's wrong?"
"It's fine. The apprentice is normal, and the master is back to normal, in order to cover up the gaffe just now, Pu Feng pretended to be profound, "Do you know why the teacher asked you to hurry up?"
"I don't know......" Xu Zhen looked at his master sincerely.
"Then you just picked up the bladeless heavy sword?"
"No, you can't. ”
"So do you know why I asked you to hurry up?"
Xu Zhen looked at the Wufeng heavy sword, looked at his hand, and then looked at Pu Feng, and suddenly realized: "Ah, I understand!"
"Master, are you afraid that the bladeless heavy sword will fall and crush me, right?!"
Pu Feng bowed slightly, and then asked, "Then do you know why you can't pick up the Bladeless Heavy Sword?"
"Because ......" Xu Zhen thought about two possibilities, but he was a little embarrassed to say it.
- Either his arm strength is not enough, or the master has moved something.
These are the two possibilities he thought of, but if he said it truthfully, wouldn't it be too faceless for the master?
Just when he was hesitating, Pu Feng asked a question, and the young man was shocked in his heart:
"Xu Zhen, when you were in Anping County, didn't you question the question of 'the sword really has a spirit'?"
"The sword has a spirit?!" Xu Zhen instantly remembered the two questions at that time:
- "But is there really a sword spirit?" "The sword has a spirit?"
When Xu Zhen was sluggish, Pu Feng began to talk eloquently:
"I have discussed with Jian Chen of Ten Thousand Swords Villa, how should we develop a sect that uses one sword, after all, there is only one sword in Ten Thousand Swords Villa, and it is impossible for everyone to use one sect.
The result of the discussion finally fell to the sword.
The sword has a spirit, and it is the characteristic of the sword itself to be able to find the most suitable master for itself.
At the same time, the sword technique with the sword master can be developed without relying on the sword, so we have a bold idea.
- Recreate the sword!
For example, in our Bladeless Sword Sect, in the future, all the sects will only practice one kind of sword technique-Bladeless Sword Technique--from the very beginning, we have brewed Bladeless Sword Intent in our own sword technique, and it is one of the purposes of sword training to continuously cultivate and grow Bladeless Sword Intent.
When the cultivation of the Bladeless Sword Intent is perfect enough, we can borrow the swordsmiths of the Ten Thousand Swords Villa to tailor the most suitable Bladeless Heavy Sword for the disciples of the Bladeless Sword Sect.
After the first batch of bladeless heavy swords is released, it can be listed as a sect inheritance and passed on together with the bladeless sword technique.
In this way, we can truly turn our sect into a bladeless heavy sword, a bladeless sword sect!"
……
In the martial arts arena of the Qi Palace, the lights have been extinguished, but there are still people practicing swords.
Ma Xingwen sat in a corner of the martial arts arena, holding a wine jug in his hand, and watched with drunken eyes as a figure not far away continued to move in the field, forward, backward, vertical, and pounced, a slender shadow in his hand kept crossing the air, and the sound of cracking the sky came from the fast sword speed.
Chen Changsheng had been practicing for a long time, and Ma Xingwen didn't care about how long it was, but beside him, there were a lot of wine bottles, three rows and five columns, neat and empty.
Ma Ye lifted the wine jug, swallowed the last bite without dropping it in his stomach, shook it, and after making sure that it was not, he threw it casually, and the wine bottle flew out, flying over three rows and four rows of wine jugs, and landed on the last empty dang upright.
"Hiccup~"
The old man hiccuped loudly, and his voice resounded through the martial arts arena, producing a strange power when it reached Chen Changsheng's side. Chen Changsheng's sword-holding hand sank, his left foot retreated, and after a pause, a sword stabbed out,
Chill out!
A shining white light instantly pierced through the pitch-black martial arts arena, rushing from Chen Changsheng's original position to the front of the martial arts arena wall, the sword was three feet thick, and only the hilt of the sword was left in his hand.
Chen Changsheng came to his senses after a short period of dazedness, maintaining the posture of rushing forward with his sword, losing his strength and sweating profusely.
"You kid, come here!"
Ma Xingwen unceremoniously called out to Chen Changsheng, and the voice appeared in Chen Changsheng's ears across a distance of more than ten zhang. After receiving the old man's guidance for a day, Chen Changsheng was no stranger to the profound inner kung fu of teleportation, and after closing his eyes and reminiscing for a while, he abandoned his sword and turned around and walked towards the old man.
"Senior, do you have any advice?" When Chen Changsheng walked in front of the old man, there was still sweat pouring out of his body one after another, and the whole person seemed to have just walked out of the pool, he endured a feeling of powerlessness on his body, and reluctantly saluted the old man.
"Ah, the sword just now, yes, there is the shadow of a first-class master in the rivers and lakes. The old man looked at the young man who was standing unsteadily in front of him, smacked his lips, thought for a while, and said, "However, if you can, you don't need it, use it once, and reduce your life expectancy by one year." ”
Chen Changsheng tried the sword by himself, naturally understood the power and disadvantages of this sword, and was very grateful for the old man's reminder, and hugged his fists and thanked: "Yes, thank you for your advice." ”
"Huh?" the old man opened his eyes vigorously and asked jokingly, "Thank you for my old man's guidance?"
"Uh," the old man could occasionally pop out of his mouth with amazing words, a small part of which made people feel the strange fun of the old man, and the other part made people feel funny, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but laugh, and then said, "Then please ask Ma Ye to bother to give more advice." ”
Ma Xingwen has a strange temperament, not necessarily when he will get angry, or when he will suddenly be kind, and this sentence caused the old man's anger: "Don't be so polite to me, if it weren't for the sake of you buying me wine, I wouldn't be too lazy to talk nonsense with you little doll!"
The drunken eyes that were trying to open finally couldn't hold it anymore after scolding, and closed it again.
Chen Changsheng was not surprised, he was indifferent to the old man's scolding, in the past two days of guiding him to practice swords, Chen Changsheng had already become accustomed to it, and he only needed one way to deal with the old man:
- He stood there silently for a while, and when a snoring sound came out, he suddenly clenched his fists and said loudly: "Chen Changsheng Xie Maye for your guidance!"
"Huh?!" The voice woke up the old man, Ma Xingwen opened his eyes vividly, saw the black shadow standing in front of him, and asked, "Where did I just go?"
"Speaking of 'the killing move of the forty-nine swords the day after tomorrow, the light saber can be used once to reduce the life span by one year, and if you can, you won't use it'. ”
"Oh, the light sword!" The old man looked stunned with a pair of extremely sleepy drunken eyes, and touched the wine jug to his side, but the fifteen jugs of wine brought by Chen Changsheng had already entered his stomach, and there was not a drop, and he could only smack his lips when he couldn't touch the jug, and said, "Use one time to reduce your life expectancy by one year?
If I could know how much a life expectancy is, I would be able to go further in 50 years?!
Xiao Chen! Don't believe those nonsense about how much life loss you can use at one time, it's all a lie!
Those words are just because they are too taxing on the body, and it takes a long time for ordinary people to recover at a time, so they came up with such a rule!
If you can use less, you can use less, but when you encounter a life and death crisis, you can use it when you need it, and it is better to die the next day than to die on the spot!"
"Do you understand?Xiao Chen?!"
"Understood, Senior Xie for his guidance!" After listening to Ma Ye dismantling his own platform, Chen Changsheng's feeling in his heart was really exciting, speechless, silent for a long time, seeing that the old man was going to close his eyes and fall asleep again, he thought about it, thought of a question, and was ready to hurry up and ask.
Just as he was about to speak, the old man himself opened his mouth first
"You used to be a guard at the gate in Xijing City?"
Actually took the initiative to ask about yourself?
This is the first time. In the past two days, I have asked what I asked, what the other party answered, and I rarely took the initiative to ask about my own things.
Looking at the old man carefully, the old man had already closed his eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep, Chen Changsheng thought about it, and decided to answer: "Yes, the junior has been a guard in Xijing City for ten years before. ”
"I've been in office for ten years," originally meant that the old man had already fallen asleep and would not answer again, but this time the old man made Chen Changsheng a little unexpected, "I have been standing at the gate of Xijing City honestly for ten years, how can I think of exploring the rivers and lakes now?!"
Questioning, Chen Changsheng didn't dare to underestimate it, and thought about it: "My ten years have been peaceful and uneventful, until I saw a hundred people from the God of Wealth Temple ambushing Xu Heng outside the city, and after being shocked, I suddenly became curious about what the rivers and lakes were like......
"Suddenly curious about the rivers and lakes, I came out to explore the rivers and lakes, and that's ??!"
Chen Changsheng looked at the old man carefully, and found that the old man hadn't opened his eyes at all, and had been asking himself with his eyes closed. It's a bit unfathomable, but from the old man's character summarized by him, this time it is estimated that it is only ......
He guessed the ending in his heart, but he didn't want to slack off, and continued to reply respectfully: "Yes, that's it." ”
"Hahaha, okay!" the old man suddenly laughed wildly, but the laughter became quieter and quieter, "Hahaha, hahaha, interesting...... Interesting......"
Smiling and laughing, the old man tilted his head and fell asleep against the wall.
"Sure enough......"
Chen Changsheng's heart twitched, and he didn't know how to describe this old man.
"Just asking. ”
After a long conversation, it is really impossible for this kind of thing to appear in the old man in front of him.
