Chapter Seventy-Two: The One-Eyed Sect Leader, One Old and Two Young
Hearing Qin Xiucai say the word "head of the sect", Zhu Da just wanted to laugh in his heart, he was both a "father-in-law" and a "head of the sect", nothing more than to not offend the master-apprentice status between Zhu Da and Xiang Bo, in fact, both Qin Chuan and this head of the sect are teachers in all senses.
Of course, Zhu Da also understood in his heart that this was Qin Chuan's respect for himself, and this talented man valued his thoughts about him very much, and didn't want him to think that he was a subordinate who took the opportunity to take advantage of his connections.
When he got out of the house, Zhu Da immediately knew why Qin Qin was screaming, this "Master Yuan" looked really scary, there was a scar on his face, this scar seemed to divide the whole face in half, slashed diagonally, one eye had been blinded, and the wound was stitched, but the disposal should not be meticulous at that time, the skin and flesh were faintly turned out, and the traces of the mulberry thread were also very clear, it seemed to be a flesh and blood centipede lying on the face, still squirming with the expression.
Fortunately, the mouth and nose are still intact, and when I think about it, I must be very lucky that this knife has survived until now.
Master Yuan is of medium stature, a little fat, full of white hair, his beard is gray, his face has a lot of wrinkles, he looks much older than Xiang Bo, he is wearing a cotton robe, and his upper body is covered with a leather jacket, although it is a half-old clothes, but there are no patches, it is very neat.
Compared with the scars on his face, this Master Yuan's torso and limbs are intact, and he looks quite agile and flexible during his movements, but he is not as old-fashioned as he looks.
"I've seen Mr. Qin." This Master Yuan bowed his hand very casually.
Qin Xiucai nodded with a smile and said, "I'm tired that Master Yuan came so early. ”
"Don't bother, the old man can't sleep and get up early, these are the two children you said?" Master Yuan said with a grin.
From the conversation and attitude of the two, Zhu Daneng can roughly judge the identity and status of this Master Yuan, the third brother Xu he saw that day was polite and respectful to Mr. Qin, but this one was very casual.
"You still don't give Master Yuan a gift, Master Yuan will be your head in the future, teach you martial arts skills, and you will call Uncle Yuan in the future, although you have no master-apprentice relationship, but you must treat it with respect like a master." Qin Xiucai said straight to the point.
I thought that I would be invited in to serve tea politely, but I didn't think it would be so straightforward, anyone could hear Qin Xiucai's solemn and solemn, Zhu Da dragged Zhou Qingyun, who had not yet reacted, and the two of them bowed.
Until now, Zhu Da is not used to kneeling and kowtowing in this era, but these things are not up to him, and he still has to do what he should do.
"Master Yuan's name is famous, he was once a brave and martial artist in the famous border town of Datong, his old man can teach you martial arts skills, it is your blessing, you must be diligent and attentive, not slack, you know?"
"Master Yuan, it's Zhu Da here, and Zhou Qingyun here, please ask Master Yuan to discipline him strictly in the future."
There was a "um" sound over there, if it was a ceremony, it would be nondescript, but Qin Xiucai said this, and Zhu Da could only respond loudly, "Got it".
"You sour son is the most annoying at this time, make some false courtesy, the old man is waiting for the dead now, and he has forgotten about the things of the year, what are you doing with the child, get up!" This Master Yuan scolded with a smile and beckoned Zhu Da to get up.
Master Yuan looked at it with one eye, his eyes swept over, Zhu Da's body shrank, this seemingly old Yuan Biao's eyes were really sharp, as if he could see people through, and after being seen, Zhu Da felt a little chill inexplicably, and he couldn't help but think about whether this was the so-called "murderous aura".
"This kid is like a dot, this fancy shelf." This Yuan Biao praised Zhou Qingyun, and his evaluation of Zhu Da was very low.
Zhu Da smiled, he was not angry, compared to martial arts skills, he was already much worse than Zhou Qingyun, from skill to strength, this is a gap of several years, if there is anything good, it is nothing more than the experience and ruthlessness accumulated over the years.
Master Yuan ignored Zhu Da's reaction, and just said to Qin Xiucai, "Are everything ready?" ”
Qin Xiucai nodded with a smile, and said again: "Master Yuan will beat him when he should beat him, scold him when he should scold, don't spoil them, these two children are able to endure hardships." ”
In response to this advice, Master Yuan didn't respond at all, and walked to the front yard with a swagger, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun almost didn't react, looked at Xiucai Qin Chuan, looked at each other again, and hurriedly followed.
Qin Xiucai's two-entry mansion is relatively spacious compared to the small civilian household, and it seems cramped to be used for martial arts, I thought that this Master Yuan would go down in the front yard first, but I didn't think that this master swaggered into the warehouse in the front yard, Zhu Da and they were a little stunned, and they were shouted by this Master Yuan, and hurriedly followed, and their hearts were even more confused.
As soon as I entered the warehouse, I realized that there was a door in this warehouse, leading to the adjacent yard, and Zhu Da, a neighbor of the Qin family, had a memory, and this direction was the semicolon of the salt stack.
Pushing open the door, it was several times the spacious space of the Qin family's courtyard, the ground of the courtyard of this salt stack was flat and dense, and there was no accumulation of goods, and there was a shelf next to the wall adjacent to the Qin family, on which there were various weapons and wooden sticks of different lengths.
Originally, there was a young man on watch, and when he saw the three of them coming, he nodded and greeted, and went to the front room by himself.
Looking at the brand-new appearance of the weapons and shelves, these things have not been prepared for a few days, that is to say, Qin Xiucai began to prepare when Zhu Da came to leave for the first time, and I have to say that he thought it through very thoroughly.
"It's not convenient to practice archery here, let's go over and get the appropriate belongings." Yuan Biao said in a muffled voice, shouting that the three of them would go over together.
Seeing that Yuan Biao took a wooden stick more than four feet long, and Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun also picked up a wooden stick of the same length, Master Yuan frowned, and said in a rough voice: "Don't follow the old man, if you use a real knife, just take it." ”
Zhu Da still picked up the wooden stick, since he started practicing martial arts, he has always held this wooden stick, and he really hasn't used a real knife much, and the same is true for Zhou Qingyun.
By this time, Zhu Da had already understood what he was going to do, and sure enough, when the two of them had taken the wooden sticks, Yuan Biao waved the household goods in his hand and said, "You two are coming towards me, just hit me." ”
Yuan Biao continued: "If you can hit the old man, you will suffer less in the future, if you can't hit, it means that you two are waste, and you will have to practice more in the future." “
The old man had a wicked smile on his face, and with the scar he looked hideous and terrifying, he said very arrogant words, but his body posture was very cautious, he had already set up a posture, and his arms were arched to look like he could exert force at any time.
Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun glanced at each other, nodded first and then shook their heads, Zhou Qingyun blinked, the two of them exchanged expressions, and Master Yuan, who was standing on the side, was a little irritable, and couldn't help but urge.
Just about to speak, Zhu Da turned around, and stabbed at the old man Yuan Biao with a flat wooden stick in both hands, it is said that this wooden stick is used as a single knife, but Zhu Da feels that the flat end is easier to use as a bayonet, and the speed and accuracy are guaranteed.
"Hey, I thought you'd shout." Yuan Biao was a little surprised, and rubbed the stick on Zhu Da's wooden stick with one hand, and immediately took Zhu Da away, Zhu Da's movements were sudden enough, but the old man still had a good time to deal with it, and even paid attention to Zhou Qingyun's movements.
I didn't think that Zhou Qingyun would turn around and run, there was no intention of cooperating at all, which surprised Yuan Biao, Zhu Da hurriedly took two steps back, turned around, and looked at the meaning of the two brothers turning around and running together, the surprise on Yuan Biao's face had turned into disdain, but Zhu Da's upper body turned back again, holding one end of the wooden stick with both hands, and took turns to pull it over, while Zhou Qingyun ran two steps around in a circle, but he held the wooden stick with one hand, carried it with his left arm, and stabbed Yuan Biao in great strides.
"It's kind of interesting, have you practiced?" Yuan Biao spoke in his mouth, but his movements did not stop, he took a step back, just flashed Zhu Da's volley, and when Zhu Da's momentum was old, Yuan Biao turned his wrist and waved his stick, directly picking the wooden stick in Zhu Da's hand, following this action Yuan Biao took a few steps forward, directly to Zhu Da, and the old man's body hit him directly.
This collision, not to mention the weight disparity, not to mention that the old man took the initiative to bump over, Zhu Da's chest was wide open, and he was knocked out directly, and he stumbled four or five steps before he could stand firmly, Yuan Biao's arm stretched out, only to see his wrist shake, and it was pumping to Zhou Qingyun's wrist, Zhou Qingyun couldn't hold the stick, and let go directly, before he could continue to move, the wooden stick in Yuan Biao's hand was poking at Zhou Qingyun's heart, and Zhu Da, who had just stabilized his figure, also stopped.
The expression on Yuan Biao's face became more and more hideous, but if he looked closely, he could see that the old man was just laughing, he glanced at Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun a few times, and the wooden stick gently pushed forward, pushing Zhou Qingyun away a few steps, and said, "Pick up the stick, let's fight again." ”
Since meeting the thief soldiers by the river, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun have discussed several sets of cooperation plans, because in the foreseeable future, the two of them will fight side by side for a long time, but the young man's combat effectiveness is limited, how to confuse others, how to be ruthless, the two of them have pondered some routines, of course, they also learn from the experience of fighting with the thief soldiers, in the case of adults despising the teenager, they are still sure to hurt the opponent, and the certainty of killing the other party is not small.
But when encountering this one-eyed Yuan Biao Master Yuan, these routines are useless, which makes Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun embarrassed, even Zhou Qingyun, who has practiced for several years, does not have too good martial arts skills and much experience in fighting enemies.
However, there is one thing that Zhu Da can perceive, this Master Yuan doesn't care about their discussion, although it is impossible to have such time for a real battle, but at this time, Zhu Da can't care so much, he must always leave a good impression on this "head coach", and he can't seem to be too wasteful.
"If you don't work hard, our methods won't work." Zhou Qingyun said in a sullen voice.
Zhu Da stared at the leisurely old man opposite, shook his head and said, "Those methods are not useless, but this Master Yuan is not afraid." ”
Zhu Da was very calm in the battle just now, he could see that Yuan Biao was attracted by his own routine, and even there were flaws and gaps exposed, but this old man's martial arts skills were too strong, and the disparity in each other's strength had covered up all the gaps.
"Fight separately, you are on the left and I am on the right, I shout 'fishing', we both retreat, then I will be left and you will be right, let's go up again, let's not care how the other party fights, each fights its own!" Zhu Da muttered a few words in a low voice, Zhou Qingyun nodded, the word "fishing" is not a daily term in Datong, and ordinary people really can't react when they shout it.
Zhu Da and the others walked forward again, Yuan Biao's arm hung down, the wooden stick pointed to the ground, and looked ahead with a smile.
