Chapter 47: Apprenticeship

"Uncle Kamu, are you sure you're right? But this knife is not as sharp as it is," I said to Gamujie in disbelief.

At this time, Gamujie put a fist on his chest and said in a deep voice: "I, the Jiamu people, never lie, this is definitely the Zao sword, I can't be mistaken, when I was a child, I saw exactly the same as the one in your hand, and this knife has a great origin." ”

"What's the origin of this knife," I said, confused.

Gamujie pondered for a moment and whispered: "This knife belongs to the branch of the Zao Knife lineage, representing evil, and its name in Tibetan is "×&%¥#@, which means ...... in Chinese" After finishing speaking, Jia Mujie's deep eyes instantly overflowed with an abnormal look, and the sharp edge revealed seemed to pierce the dark side of a person's heart, which was extremely sharp.

At this time, I was shocked in my heart, "Blood feud, blood feud, is it ...... Is this a coincidence or providence? I felt a little upset, and unconsciously lit another cigarette, I don't know when I started to develop a habit of smoking a cigarette whenever my mind was messy.

Gamujie was very quiet and didn't disturb me, and after a cigarette, I looked at Gamujie and said, "Why is it called a blood feud?" ”

At this time, Gamujie shook his head and said: "This is a secret history of my Tibetan people, which cannot be passed on, although your knife is a real Tibetan sword, but it is not opened, so it is no wonder that it is sold as an inconspicuous thing." ”

I pondered for a moment and said, "Is there a way to open it?" As soon as I wanted to speak, I said, "I can help you open the seal, but you have to promise me not to kill innocents"

I nodded cheerfully, and Gamujie smiled and left, and for the next two days he stayed in the cabin every day, and a fire was lit in it, and there was always a tinkling sound during the day.

In the past few days, Niu Huan took the initiative to take on the task of cooking, cooked on time every day and served it to Jia Mujie, and went into the mountains and forests to dig wild vegetables in his spare time.

On this day, Niu Huan and I were sitting in the courtyard chatting, and I saw Jia Mujie walking out with a tired face, and then Niu Huan and I hurriedly greeted him.

Gamujie glanced at us and handed me the knife in his hand, and I gently opened the cloth covering it, only to see the sharp knife toughness, shining in the bright sun, and some strange patterns were carved on the knife body.

I took it in my hand and waved it a few times, and I don't know what material the handle made me feel a sense of heaviness, not at all the light and fluttering feeling of ordinary short knives. I love it very much.

Niu Huan watched enviously on the side, and then I bowed deeply to Jiamujie and said, "Uncle Jiamu, thank you"

Gamujie shook his head and said, "You don't have to thank me, you don't have to do it", I know that Gamujie has wasted a lot of effort in the past few days to open the knife in my hand, and when I saw him say this, I was even more grateful.

In the afternoon, Jia Mujie slept in the house, Niu Huan and I went to the mountains and forests to hunt a hare and pick some wild vegetables, and after coming back, we were busy for a long time and made a table full of dishes before waking Jia Mujie up.

Because I had already made up my mind in my heart, during dinner in the evening, the three of us chatted while eating, and after eating, I carefully considered it in my heart and finally said to Jiamujie: "Uncle Jiamu, I want to ask you for something."

Jia Mujie raised his eyebrows but didn't speak, Niu Huan looked at me with a puzzled look on the side, and then I said, "I want to ask you to teach me knife skills."

Gamujie was silent and didn't speak, I don't know if I was saying this too bluntly, so I fell silent.

After a while, Jiamujie pondered: "You are not suitable for learning the sword technique of my Jiamu clan", after hearing this, I suddenly felt disappointed in my heart, and sighed secretly, but I said: "It's okay, I ......"

"But he's suitable," before I finished speaking, Jia Mujie pointed at Niu Huan and said lightly, Jia Mujie looked at me and said: "Although my sword technique cannot be passed on to you, I have a set of sword techniques that are more suitable for you, and it is left over from a previous predecessor who used blood feuds." ”

I was stunned and then ecstatic in my heart, and then I saw Niu Huan sitting aside with an inexplicable face, and immediately patted him and shouted, "Damn, what are you kid doing?" Don't come to the apprenticeship yet."

Niu Huan looked at me with some doubts, I cursed in my heart, and then Jiamujie waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I still have three more requests, you can agree to it, the first is that no matter what the circumstances are, you are not allowed to kill Tibetans, the second is not allowed to pass on the sword skills I taught you to others, and the last one is ...... If you have a chance to meet someone named Xian Yubo in the future, kill him for me."

I felt that Jia Mujie's tone was obviously aggravated when he said the three words Xian Yubo, and there was a hint of murderous intent looming on his body, I lowered my head and thought about it carefully, and then looked at Niu Huan.

Niu Huan looked at me and said, "Big brother, I listen to you"

I nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you these three requests, as long as I can meet Xian Yubo, I will definitely kill him."

Gamujie said with a solemn face when he heard it: "You think clearly, since you have promised, you must do it, otherwise even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I will chase you over and kill you."

Niu Huan and I looked at each other and nodded solemnly, Gamujie didn't say anything after seeing it, then stood up with his back to us, looked into the distance and whispered: "Zhuoma, I finally have some hope to avenge you."

I noticed that Gamujie's hanging hands were a little trembling when he spoke, and then I saw his somewhat lonely back, I don't know who Zhuoma was in his mouth, and after a while, Gamujie turned around and pointed at Niu Huan and said: "You come with me, although you are not Tibetan, but you still have to follow my Tibetan habits when you apprentice." With that, Gamujie walked towards the wooden house.

Niu Huan looked at me, I motioned to him, and he walked behind Jiamujie, and after they left, I lay on the grass, pulled out the blood feud, and looked at the blade that glowed with cold air in the moonlight......

After more than half an hour, Jia Mujie and Niu Huan walked back, I stood up and looked at Niu Huan and said, "Okay? ”

Niu Huan nodded, and my heart suddenly became relieved, and then Jia Mujie looked at me and said, "Chen Hao, I don't know what happened to you, which caused your personality to be a little eccentric, and even a little dark, but I hope you don't kill innocents indiscriminately in the future." I don't want to teach a murderer myself. ”

"Don't worry," I mused.

After hearing this, Gamujie nodded reassuringly, and said to us: "It's not early, you guys rest first, tomorrow morning, we will gather in the courtyard" After saying that, Gamujie went back to rest.

After Jiamujie left, Niu Huan said with some excitement: "Big brother, I'm not dreaming, can I still become a martial arts master?" ”

I saw Niu Huan's excited face, and I was very happy in my heart, patted him on the shoulder, cheered him up, and said, "That's a must."

After saying that, I lay down on the grass again, I looked at the night sky full of stars, and after a while, Niu Huan recovered from the excitement, and also lay down next to me.

Niu Huan lay on the side with a small grass in his mouth and said, "Big brother, who did you say the master used to be?" And what did he do with the guy he wanted us to kill? I feel like his whole expression changed when he said that person named Xian Yubo today."

I shook my head, there has always been a trace of awe in my heart for Gamujie, a master of sword arts, but he has lived in seclusion in this deep mountain and wild forest for twenty years. Sometimes I guess that there must be a glorious history behind or in the past, but I don't want to tell outsiders. I didn't expect that Jia Mujie would inadvertently reveal such sadness and loneliness today, and we will never be able to understand his current mood now.

Maybe a few years later, I have taken revenge, tired of the vendetta of the rivers and lakes, tired of the deceitful society, one day when the sea is in the wind, I recall the road I have traveled for so many years, maybe at that time I can really understand the current mood of Jiamujie.

Niu Huan and I didn't talk anymore, just lay on the grass, looking at the stars in the sky and the occasional breeze, and our hearts were peaceful......
