Chapter 35: The Old Man 2
The wind gradually dissipated, the flying black hair and robes gradually stopped, and there was not even a sound of insects in the woods on the cold spring night, and the surroundings were calm again.
Lin Xiaoyang, who was still struggling with how the man in Tsing Yi learned the Phantom Trace, if he was stealing it, whether he wanted to abolish his internal strength, was stunned when he heard the question of the man in Tsing Yi, and subconsciously nodded and asked: "Yes! The master has always dressed like this! How do you know?"
The man in Tsing Yi suddenly pulled out a smile, with his demon-level appearance and almost transparent complexion, it made people have the illusion of indulging in it.
The thin lips opened lightly, and the man in Tsing Yi said in an evil tone: "Because my phantom trace was taught by your master." ”
"My master taught it??" Lin Xiaoyang was even more confused.
In Lin Xiaoyang's impression, his master didn't seem to have accepted such an apprentice! If he did, even if he had only met once, he would never forget it.
Although Lin Xiaoyang has a fourth junior brother who has never met, Lin Xiaoyang clearly remembers that his master said that before the ten-year period has expired, the master and his old man will never let his fourth junior brother go down the mountain.
The master has always been a man of his word, and no matter what happens, the master will not change what he has said.
According to the time when his fourth junior brother went up the mountain, there are still several months left before the ten-year period! Lin Xiaoyang is very sure that his master will not be able to let his fourth junior brother, whom he has never met, go down the mountain so early.
Just when Lin Xiaoyang was entangled and confused, the voice of the man in Tsing Yi with a smile sounded: "No, it can't be said that it was taught by your master." Let's put it this way, it was your master who gave me the secret book that contains the phantom trace method and the main points, and I practiced it according to the secret book myself, not the phantom trace of your master's words and deeds, so you call him 'master' and I don't, so you can understand it?"
After listening to the man in Tsing Yi's explanation, Lin Xiaoyang was silent, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After a long time, Lin Xiaoyang finally let out a slow "oh", and then asked the man in Tsing Yi: "What's your name?"
It seemed that he didn't expect Lin Xiaoyang to believe his words so lightly, and asked his name, but the man in Tsing Yi was a little stunned, and only said slowly after a long time: "Mu Ziru." ”
Nodding his head, looking at the man in Tsing Yi who called himself "Mu Ziru", Lin Xiaoyang smiled and said seriously: "Mu Ziru, my name is Lin Xiaoyang, although your phantom trace was not taught by the master himself, but the secret book of the phantom trace was taught to you by the master himself, so you can also be regarded as half a disciple of the master, that is, my junior brother." ”
"Why are you so sure that I am your junior brother and not your senior brother, it seems that I look older than you!" Mu Ziru asked Lin Xiaoyang as if playfully.
Regarding Mu Ziru's "curiosity", Lin Xiaoyang replied with confidence: "The master once said that the phantom trace is not only the world's top light body exercise, but also the world's top internal strength. In other words, the longer you practice Phantom Trace, the deeper your internal strength will be. I have been practicing martial arts with my master since I was five years old, and I have been with him for eighteen years. Although your Phantom Trace is more skilled than me, but you can't cast the Phantom Trace for a long time, it can be seen that your internal strength is not deep, obviously, you have not practiced the Phantom Trace for as long as me, I am naturally a senior brother!"
After Lin Xiaoyang finished speaking, he winked at Mu Ziru, and his innocent and innocent appearance made people feel that his inference was really not wrong at all. In fact, Lin Xiaoyang's inference is indeed not wrong at all.
Regarding Lin Xiaoyang's inference, Mu Ziru only smiled and replied: "Your inference is indeed correct, I have only been practicing Phantom Trace for a few years, if I really want to rehearse, I do have to call you Senior Brother." But don't expect anything, I won't call you brother. ”
"What! It's only been a few years! I thought you had practiced Phantom Trace for at least ten years!" Lin Xiaoyang was completely shocked by Mu Ziru's words, and shouted very unvividly.
Sighing lightly, looking at the inky night sky behind Lin Xiaoyang, Mu Ziru's thoughts were a little fluctuating, and the words he said gave people a feeling that they were a little unreal: "Things in the world are inaccurate, people's experiences are different, the direction of their efforts is different, and the results obtained are naturally different." ”
Regarding Mu Ziru's words, the simple Lin Xiaoyang nodded as if he didn't understand.
Retracted his gaze and continued to look at Lin Xiaoyang, as soon as his voice changed, Mu Ziru asked: "Seeing that your martial arts are quite high, are you also going to Nanling County in Jiangnan to participate in this year's Nine Kingdoms Martial Arts Conference?"
Nodding, Lin Xiaoyang replied honestly: "It was my master who asked me to go." After a pause, Lin Xiaoyang seemed to think of something, and asked Mu Ziru: "Could it be that you also went to Nanling County to participate in the martial arts conference?"
Shaking his head, Mu Ziru curled the corners of his lips and said disdainfully: "The so-called 'Nine Kingdoms Martial Arts Conference' is just a competition for a group of sanctimonious guys to compete for power and profit. It's just that I want to go and see, to see what kind of conspiracy and tricks those martial arts people who claim to be on the right path of martial arts but actually don't compromise their means will play this year, and what I'm interested in is only those conspiracies. ”
As if he agreed with Mu Ziru's words very much, Lin Xiaoyang nodded vigorously and said: "The master has always told me that the martial arts conference is not a good gathering, it is full of false flattery, and no one really wants to contribute to the world's martial arts, it is just for the throne of the martial arts alliance leader and the glory and power after becoming the martial arts alliance leader." ”
"Heh!" Mu Ziru let out a chuckle and said slowly: "Your master's words are also to the point. However, it seems that the person who wants you to attend this year's martial arts conference is your master! Could it be that your master also covets the throne and the rights of the leader of the martial arts alliance so he let you go?"
"Master, he won't !!" Hearing Mu Ziru's words, Lin Xiaoyang seemed to be a little angry and yelled.
Before Mu Ziru reacted, he could only hear Lin Xiaoyang's tone of excitement defending his master: "Master, he won't covet the position of the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, if the master really wants to be the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, he will not send me at all! If you send my senior brother and second senior brother to take the position of the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, it is dozens of times safer than sending me! Moreover, the master's martial arts are so strong, the master can't look down on the position of the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance!"
For Lin Xiaoyang, a simple and innocent baby, he also has reverse scales!
Lin Xiaoyang's reverse scales are his master and father's master and his two senior brothers who have loved him like biological brothers since they were children. Of course, Lin Xiaoyang didn't know that subconsciously, Leng Qing had also become one of his reverse scales.
Lin Xiaoyang can't allow anyone to talk about his master, let alone anyone to say that his master is not, otherwise he will offend his rebellion!
Mu Ziru's words just now had already touched Lin Xiaoyang's scales. If it weren't for Lin Xiaoyang's concern that Mu Ziru was also half of his master's apprentice, it is estimated that Lin Xiaoyang would have drawn his sword and not yelled a few words like this!
"Wow! Scared me! Why are you shouting so loudly! Those who are not sick are also scared out of their illness by you. As soon as Lin Xiaoyang's roar fell, Mu Ziru quickly patted his chest a few times with his hand as if he was frightened, and pointed at Lin Xiaoyang opposite him with the other hand and complained dissatisfiedly.
It seemed that he also felt that his reaction was really a bit of a fuss, Lin Xiaoyang pursed his lips and pouted: "Who told you that my master covets the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance, the master's martial arts are so strong, if you really want the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance, it is hundreds of times safer for the master to make his own move than to send our senior brothers and sisters!"
Putting down the hand that was pointing at Lin Xiaoyang and patting his chest, Mu Ziru suddenly grinned and said, "I'm just joking with you! A person who can casually send away such a superb light skill cheat, if he really wants to be the leader of the martial arts alliance, then he is not ready to be caught? However, I am really curious, since your master told you that he despises the martial arts conference so much, it is enough to prove that he really looks down on the position of the martial arts conference and the leader of the martial arts alliance, so why does your master want you to go to Nanling County to participate in any martial arts conference? Isn't this contradictory? ”
Shaking his head, Lin Xiaoyang sighed first, and then explained a little depressedly: "I don't understand it either!" The master didn't say the reason, just let me go." Actually, I really don't want to go to any martial arts conference, but the master's order can't be violated! ”
Nodding, Mu Ziru smiled meaninglessly, and said: "Then you will listen to your master, and obediently go to the martial arts conference! If you can become the leader of the martial arts alliance, then you are lucky, if you can't be the master, I don't think your master should blame you." ”
Mu Ziru's words made the innocent Lin Xiaoyang pull the corners of his mouth and smile innocently, and even his tone was smiling: "I know, no matter what the result is, the master will definitely not blame me, the master has always been very indifferent to these external objects." As soon as the words changed, Lin Xiaoyang smiled and said to Mu Ziru: "You are also going to Jiangnan, why don't you go with us!"
Hearing this, Mu Ziru nodded and replied with a very dry smile: "Okay! It just so happens that I am a little bored when I go south alone, and I can pass the time by having someone to accompany me on the road." ”
Looking at the inky night sky overhead, Lin Xiaoyang said, "It's almost the beginning of the day, let's go back!"
After that, without waiting for Mu Ziru to react, Lin Xiaoyang stood on the branch and turned around lightly, and then tapped his toes, and his clothes flew up, and he returned with a phantom trace towards the way he came.
Looking at the back of Lin Xiaoyang, who was gradually moving away, Mu Ziru sighed, resigned himself to the phantom trace, and followed Lin Xiaoyang towards Pingyang City. It's just that it was different from when Lin Xiaoyang chased after Mu Ziru before, at this time, Mu Ziru struggled to chase after Lin Xiaoyang, and the gap between the two of them was not ordinarily big.
