"Master, there's a fight on the other side of Screaming Street. The middle-aged steward said in a calm tone as much as possible, but his hands couldn't help but tremble. The sight of 200 people blocking the streets and blood rushing was truly terrifying, and such a horrific scene would wake him up in the middle of the night from time to time in the future.

Pang Zhixing looked in the direction where Shocking Street was located, pondered for a moment, and said, "Go to Yulong Street." ”

"Master, your body ......"

"It doesn't matter. ”

"And what about our family?"

"It doesn't matter. ”

"Shocking Street is a hundred lives! If this situation continues, there will be a big mess! Master! You can't leave it alone!" The steward said anxiously, encountering such a big event, he really had no idea in his heart, if the master went to Yulong Street, he would be completely panicked.

Pang Zhixing said calmly: "Yicaitang wants to fight, but we can't stop it." Hit the poop hit. Tiandu Yamen and Dongjin Palace will not care, you can rest assured, you can't hit our door. Also, don't tell the old mountain. ”

The steward was still flustered, but he also tried his best to endure it, and immediately arranged a carriage for Pang Zhixing and went to Yulong Street.

Sitting in the extremely stable carriage, Pang Zhixing's face became more and more pale. The injuries left behind in his early years in the process of traveling from the south to the north and the south of the world, broke out together before he could grow old, and quickly consumed his life. It was torture for him to stay at home now, and even if he went out in the best carriage, he might not be able to come back after a bump. But on Yulong Street, Pang Zhixing has to go.

"Sir, it's here. ”

Pang Zhixing quickly suppressed the things in his mind, took a pill, his face regained a little ruddy, and stepped out of the carriage and walked towards the Denglou on Yulong Street.

Xiao Si at the door immediately shouted loudly: "Yo, it's Master Pang of Xuanhemen, wait a minute, I'll go up and report to the Ninth Master." ”

——

Pang Jiushan only smiled when he saw Ning Du. Ning Du glanced at Pang Jiushan and understood what was the matter with calling him.

"Your name is Ning Du?" Shang Chonggu asked.

"Yes. ”

"Do you know why I have to change you to the top of the list?" Shang Chonggu's tone was a little pressing.

"Because I'm worth it. Ning Du looked into Shang Chonggu's eyes and said.

Shang Chonggu laughed out loud and said, "What a 'I'm worthy'! You are indeed worth it! I want to ask, who taught you to perceive the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi?" Shang Chonggu's gaze suddenly became sharp, staring at Ning Du, not allowing the other party to dodge.

Ning Du thought of the two old bastards, chuckled, and said, "Foolish man moves mountains, practice makes perfect." Even if he didn't quite understand what vitality was now, he could vaguely guess it.

The final painting exam of Qingteng Garden is difficult for others, but it is really simple for Ning Du. He didn't know what the flow of heaven and earth energy was, he could just see the lines clearly, because he had been practicing painting for the past ten years. The first "cold" picture, he grinded for three years to draw, during which he didn't know how many times he was beaten up by two old bastards. If you want to talk about talent, he definitely has it, but more importantly, he is really practicing hard, and if he doesn't work hard, he will really be beaten to death.

Shang Chonggu stared at Ning Du, scrutinizing.

Hu Ran hid behind Ning Du, looked at Shang Chonggu, a little scared and a little stubbornly unconvinced, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Why are you staring at my young master so much!"

Shang Chonggu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Hu Ran, his gaze softened, and the domineering aura also subsided, and he rarely became as peaceful as Sima E, turned to look at Ning Du, and said, "I want to accept you as my disciple." ”

Ning Duzi moved, blocked Hu Ran, and faced Shang Chonggu. At this time, Pang Jiushan preemptively said: "There is a shop around for business, and you can't buy it immediately without dividing it." ”

Shang Chonggu smiled, then took a step back and said, "I can take a step back, because I am indeed not young anymore, and you are very young, and I will not take another step back, because my name is Shang Chonggu." ”

After speaking, Shang Chonggu really stood there like a sword, and whoever stepped forward would probably be cut off his head.

Pang Jiushan looked at Ning Du and said seriously: "Brother Ning, Shang Jiao Xi is the strongest kendo in the Five Realms! Although I don't know much about this path of cultivation, Shang Jiao Xi is as strong as rumored. He originally wanted to say that Shang Chonggu was going to forcibly open Ning Du's mind, but he couldn't open his mouth at this time, because Shang Chonggu's concession was too big. If the news of Shang Chonggu's acceptance of apprentices was announced to the world, I am afraid that tens of thousands of cultivators would gather here to compete for that spot.

Ning Du looked at Shang Chonggu, thought for a moment, and said, "Shang Jiaoxi, I do want to learn swords from you, but I-don't want to have a master anymore." ”

"I'm not worthy of being your master?"

"It's not. Because my master is my master, I can't do it any more. ”

Pang Jiushan retorted: "Brother Ning! How can there be such a reason for the way of learning? But if anyone is stronger than us, why can't we lower our posture to learn? There is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the arts, that's all. Master's name, but title, why do you bother to drill the horns of the bull in this regard? ”

Ning Du smiled at Pang Jiushan, there seemed to be two shadows of old bastards in front of him, and he said with a smile and hatred with a complicated and indescribable feeling: "Yes, this is just a title, but in my past, there is only this one title." ”

In the past ten years, and even the sixteen years since he was born, Ning Du's life has only had these two words.

Hu Ran seemed to understand what Ning Du was going to say, and whispered in Ning Du's ear: "Young Master, let's go home, I'm already very hungry." ”

Ning Du glanced back at Hu Ran, then at Shang Chonggu, and said, "Shang Jiaoxi, I'm sorry." ”

However, the silent Shang Chonggu took a step back and smiled at Ning Du, the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes seemed to be a little more frosty. When a proud person laughs, he will be gentle.

The strongest person in the Five Realms Sword Dao was the strongest sword path in cultivation, when did he take a step back? Regression would mean death! However, Shang Chonggu took two steps back today. Whoever sees it will probably be dumbfounded.

Pang Jiushan had seen Shang Chonggu's arrogance just now, and he thought that the other party was qualified to have such arrogance, but now Shang Chonggu had completely let go of his pride, and Pang Jiushan was also completely suppressed.

"Since ancient times, I have only listened to the modest study of Chengmen Lixue, and I have never heard of a teacher who can treat the younger generations like this. I admire you!" Pang Jiushan is not a compliment, but a heartfelt word.

Ning Du was silent, he could feel Shang Chonggu's sincerity, he really had no reason to refuse.

Shang Chonggu smiled frankly and said, "If I treat you as a swordsman like me, you must be the same. I've taken two steps back, and there's really no reason for you to turn me down again. But I don't need you to refuse, I'm not your master, I'm just teaching in Qingteng Garden, so as long as you are a student in Qingteng Garden, I can teach you. ”

In this world, who and which sect can teach what they have learned all their lives to others when the other party insists that they are not their disciples? How can the most important things be obtained by loyal inheritors who are selected at various levels, and how can they be passed on to outsiders? Wouldn't that make you have no place to stand?

Pang Jiushan was stunned, and Ning Du was also stunned.

Shang Chonggu said: "I just suddenly figured out one thing: why do you have to be someone else's teacher to teach things? Respecting teachers is indeed what students should do, but this is not a reason for teachers to sit in the hall and command. All arts are not prosperous, there are boundaries, sects have boundaries, masters and apprentices have boundaries, and everyone has boundaries. I am Shang Chong Gu today to break the boundary, but anyone who is qualified, everyone can learn my sword!"

"Okay! Senior Brother said well!" Sima E walked in from outside the door, glanced at everyone, looked at Senior Brother, and said thoughtfully, "However, Senior Brother, it is still up to you to judge the qualifications you say, and it is up to you to judge whether you are qualified or not." This is not really something that everyone can learn, not the world that can learn!"

Shang Chonggu's eyebrows suddenly turned sideways, and he said awe-inspiringly: "Nonsense! My sword, how can everyone learn it?!"

Ning Du laughed, Pang Jiushan also laughed, except for Hu Ran, who was hungry and unhappy, all four of them laughed.

Sima E stopped laughing at first, he said seriously: "Senior brother, I still think this matter is inappropriate, you are too anxious." He shouldn't even know what cultivation is, or should he start with the most basic learning. ”

Shang Chonggu ignored Sima E, looked at Ning Du, and said, "If you have to gamble with your life to practice, do you dare to bet?" No, you have to gamble, because you must practice!" In fact, Shang Chonggu did not say one of the most important reasons - "Because you must be the best in the world!"

Sima E frowned, he didn't quite agree with Senior Brother's approach that was similar to coercion, and said to Ning Du: "You are congenitally deficient, and if you want to practice, you need to forcibly open your mind, but there is only one percent chance of success in doing so, and the best result in the remaining ninety percent is to be disabled for life." Cultivation is still too dangerous for you. ”

"Brother Ning, you have to think clearly! We can wait a little longer, there is no need to be in such a hurry!" Pang Jiushan asked instead, "Shang Jiaoxi, do you have to give you an answer today?"

"Not today, but now. Shang Chonggu looked at Ning Du, and he couldn't tolerate the slightest falsehood. If you want to practice his sword, you can't hesitate at any time. If you want to become the first in the world, you can only be truly afraid of death.

Hu Ran gently tugged at Ning Du's shirt.

At this moment, Uncle Tong walked in, but he didn't make a sound, just stood outside the courtyard, although his face was extremely well hidden, Pang Jiushan also saw the problem. If it wasn't for the urgent matter, Uncle Tong didn't come back, Pang Jiushan's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but take a step forward, but he looked back at Ning Du again.

Ning Du suddenly showed an extremely reassuring smile and said, "Fatty, you go." I'm already in the bamboo. ”
