Chapter 105: Master and Apprentice
"Hey! Hey! ”
"Drink! Drink! ”
In the martial arts hall of the Sword Pavilion, which was as warm as spring, the apprentice who was called by Wang Yue as a strong martial artist in the future waved the wooden sword in his hand with a spring breeze, and slashed at the wooden stakes in front of them. Maybe these apprentices themselves feel that they have learned some secrets that are not passed on, but in the eyes of Zhang Huang and other veterans who have experienced battlefield battles, those fancy swordsmanship are just empty shelves with empty appearances, and they are indeed good from the perspective of appreciation, but when it comes to practicality, even Xu Fu, who is the weakest among the black feather crows, can easily beat Wang Yue's so-called excellent to the ground without using a rigid body.
Just when Zhang Huang and the others were secretly disappointed, Wang Yue slowly paced in front of Zhang Huang's group of people, holding his hands behind his back, posing with a high and strict master's stand, and asked indifferently, "Why did you wait?" ”
Among the children of the scholar clan who walked into this sword hall with Zhang Huang and others, a man in his twenties stepped forward and said, "Master Wang, in the lower jaw, I have been weak and sick since I was a child, a few days ago, my father heard that Master Wang began to recruit apprentices again, so he asked Master Wang to learn martial arts under Master Wang, and I hope that Master Wang can teach me mastery of swordsmanship." ”
"Oh?" Wang Yue replied lightly and asked casually, "I don't know who Ling Zun is?" ”
"Si Li's lieutenant is engaged in the official Wang Chang, and he is the father."
Zhang Huang clearly noticed that Wang Yue's eyebrows raised slightly after hearing this.
"It turned out to be the king's son......"
Wang Yue nodded, looked Wang's jaw up and down, and said in a deep voice after half a sound, "Well, Wang Mouguan is indeed weak in qi, but it doesn't matter, as long as you are willing to work hard, he will achieve success in the future." ”
"Thank you, Master Wang." The king's face was full of joy. He took a money bag from his bosom and handed it to Wang Yue.
At this time, a disciple behind Wang Yue stepped forward, took the money, and raised his hand to Wang Jaw and said, "Senior Brother Wang, go over there and wait first." ”
"Okay, okay." Wang Jaw walked over happily.
At this time, Wang Yue looked at the next one, and saw that the next prince of the scholar clan who came to admire him was looking around with a proud face, judging from his frowning from time to time. This person doesn't seem to be very happy with the environment.
"Ahem!" Wang Yue pretended to cough and reminded the son.
Only then did this person react, looked Wang Yue up and down a few times, and said, "You are Wang Yue?" I'm here to learn martial arts, this is the shackles of apprenticeship, accept it. As he spoke, he took out a money bag from his arms and threw it to the apprentice beside Wang Yue.
It may be that this person's arrogant attitude made Wang Yue a little unswerving, frowning, Wang Yue asked in a deep voice. "Why did you learn swords?"
The boy spat out viciously when he heard this, and said with an unhappy face, "Don't mention it, the first two Japanese sons had a dispute with Zhang Song's stinky boy. That kid learned some skills from his cousin who was on an errand in the Northern Army, and beat Ben Gongzi down with three punches and two kicks, this evil breath Ben Gongzi can't swallow, so he has to ask him for it! He said. He glanced at Wang Yue suspiciously and asked, "You will teach this son." Right? ”
Wang Yue's face became even more solemn when he heard this, and he thought for a while and said, "Learning martial arts is not for the sake of competitiveness...... but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the son.
"Okay, okay, this nonsense Ben Gongzi doesn't like to hear, you just teach Ben Gongzi the most powerful swordsmanship. If there is a Japanese son's swordsmanship...... My father will reward you heavily! ”
"I don't know who Ling Zun is?"
"Tingwei Temple sentenced Chen Song and Chen Xuangong to be the father."
Wang Yue's brows immediately condensed, and after looking at the prince for a long time, he nodded and said, "Your heart for Xiang Wu is good, but the purpose is not pure...... Okay, you can polish your temperament here Wang. ”
In other words, he took it.
All kinds of scenes were presented in front of Zhang Huang and others, some were forced by the pressure of their families, some were disgusted with literature and martial arts, and some were simply fighting with others after learning swordsmanship, but although Wang Yue's rhetoric was different each time, all of them were accepted as apprentices, only because the other party's family background was extraordinary.
[Does this count as 'teaching without class'?] ]
The black feather crows secretly sneered in their hearts, although they had also described Xun Yu in the same words, after all, Xun Yu had the grand ambition of 'persuading the good people in the world and not making a wicked person', but if Wang Yue and Xun Yu were to be compared, Li Tong, Chen Dao, Zang Ba, Tai Shici and others could only say that Wang Yue was not worthy!
"Boss, let's go, this is not where we should be."
Li Tong lowered his voice and said to Zhang Huang, and Zang Ba and Tai Shici also pulled Zhang Huang's sleeve in agreement. Because in their opinion, although Wang Yue, the sword master of Luoyang, is known as a sword master on the same level as the gun master Tong Yuan, the smell of copper is too strong, just like Xun You and She Zhi said, it tends to be inflammatory, which is really a bit unpleasant. It seems that as long as the other party's family background is good, any cat or dog will accept it.
The persuasion of the brothers could not change Zhang Huang's mind, although he was also a little unaccustomed to Wang Yue's approach, but who called Wang Yue a sword hero on the same level as the gun hero Tong Yuan? Shouldn't you choose the best one when choosing a master to teach swordsmanship?
“…… Check it out. Zhang Huang said hesitantly.
She Zhi shook his head when he heard this, he knew that this kid was not dead yet, since this was the case, he didn't bother to persuade again, anyway, in his opinion, Zhang Huang must have hit a wall this time.
Suddenly, She Zhi's heart moved, and he turned his head to look, only to see that not far away, there was a thick-eyed Wang Yue apprentice looking at them with strange eyes.
This person seems to be different from others, you must know that the apprentices who are practicing swords at the moment, the sword robes they are wearing seem to be simple, but they are actually made of silk, but the sword robes worn by this person are really coarse cloth texture.
[This guy ......]
She Zhi looked at the person carefully, and suddenly, he saw the other party's eyes sweep, and She Zhi instinctively felt a chill like a cold cold.
[Good...... What a heavy 'meaning' ......]
She Zhi was secretly frightened. The 'will' here refers to the state of a person after making up his mind, the will that is far beyond ordinary times, and if it has the purpose of harming others, it is the intent to kill. If not, it's pure fragmented intent, such as the sword intent that people who are dedicated to swordsmanship will gradually form or something. (Compared to murderous intent, murderous aura is mostly just a means to intimidate opponents.) )
And the heart is frightened. She Zhi was surprised to find that the other party had no malicious intent at all, as if the 'intention' was just a passing of his eye scanning, which made She Zhi even more surprised. After all, being able to do this shows that the other party's heart and state of mind are very strong, that is, the willpower is tenacious, which is not something that ordinary people can achieve, even if they have been cultivating for many years, they may not be able to achieve it.
"What's wrong?" Chen Zhi noticed the strange expression on She Zhi's face and asked suspiciously.
She Zhi mouthed at the thick-eyed apprentice Nunu, Chen Zhi was stunned and turned his head to look at the man. Immediately, his eyebrows twitched, obviously realizing that this person was unusual.
At this time, Wang Yue had already come to Zhang Huang and the others.
Since the first glance at the people's cloth clothes that can be seen everywhere on Zhang Huang and the others, Wang Yue frowned unconsciously. Although he sensed the storage of qi from Zhang Huang and others, for heroes like Wang Yue, who are known as sword heroes, what is the strength of Zhang Huang and others?
"Who recommended you to come to Wang's Sword Pavilion to learn swords?" Wang Yue opened his mouth and asked.
Zhang Huang hugged his fists and said truthfully, "Among the inferior people, I heard that Wang Jianshi is a well-known swordsman in the world, and he is even more respected as Luoyang Swordsman. Therefore, I came here to hope that Master Wang could teach us the real swordsmanship......" At the end, he glanced at the apprentices who were practicing swords, intentionally or unintentionally, and his intention was self-evident.
Wang Yue couldn't help frowning. As Zhang Huang and others guessed, what Wang Yue taught those scholars was actually just some useless showmanship. This is not surprising, after all, martial arts practice is not so easy. How much hardship Zhang Huang and others have endured, and how many hardships they have endured at the moment of life and death, have they cultivated their current strength. But can those pampered sons of the scholar clan endure this kind of suffering?
If it weren't for the fact that he was taking care of this group of pampered scholars, why would Wang Yue spread animal skins in the martial arts hall where he practiced swords, and put a copper furnace burning with a blazing charcoal fire on the shelf? I have never heard of such a way of learning martial arts.
Because of the teachings of people, Wang Yue has done a very good job in this regard, anyway, those scholars don't know the real swordsmanship, and the whole fancy empty swordsmanship is perfunctory, after all, what Wang Yue wants is just the 'master-apprentice relationship' between them. As for whether the other party has learned something, what does it have to do with him Wang Yue? Anyway, it's not a material for martial arts practice in the first place.
And now that this matter has been vaguely picked up by Zhang Huang, Wang Yue will naturally feel displeased.
"Real swordsmanship?" Wang Yue sneered twice, and asked in a questioning tone, "Tell me, what is the real swordsmanship?" ”
The black feather crows' hearts sank when they heard this, and they thought about it, they had never learned swordsmanship, so how did they know what the real swordsmanship was?
But at this moment, I heard Zhang Huang say in a deep voice, "The sword is a weapon of killing, and the sword technique is a trick to kill!" ”
Even if it was Wang Yue, he was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Zhang Huang in surprise, and the apprentice with thick eyebrows and big eyes also frowned, and looked at Zhang Huang and his party cautiously.
However, those scholars who were practicing swords laughed when they heard this.
"What did the kid say? Is killing a weapon of murder? Swordsmanship is a murderous trick? ”
"Hahaha!"
"Boy, the sword is the soldier of the royal road!"
"Where did you get the stupid? Dare to talk about swordsmanship in front of the king! ”
"Look at the clothes of this group of people, you know that they are poor country boys who came out of nowhere......"
"Hey, those poor boys from the countryside, hurry up and go home, this is not the place you can come."
"I guess they don't even understand the 'call home'......"
"Alas, it's hard to get into the hall of elegance!"
Including the dozen or so scholars who had just been accepted by Wang Yue, the forty or so people in the Sword Pavilion looked at Zhang Huang and the others with a sneer, some with disdain, some with contempt, and so on. The angry appearance of pointing at others and mocking them, Li Tong, Chen Zhi, Zang Ba, Tai Shici and others were flushed with anger, and they unconsciously clenched their fists.
Fortunately, this is in the inner city of Luoyang, if it were in another place, this group of scholars who don't know the height of the sky would dare to insult their leader of the black feather crow like this, and Li Tong and the others would beat him violently.
However, Zhang Huang's expression did not change, after all, for him, the sons of the scholar clan were not necessarily a big deal. It is no wonder that recalling the people Zhang Huang has seen along the way, in terms of force, Sun Jian, Huihui, and Lost Ear can all be on an equal footing with Wang Yue, and in terms of family background, Cao Cao, Xun Yu, and Xun Yu are not only famous families today. In the future, he will still be a man of the year in the Central Plains. In comparison, the so-called whomever in the Sword Pavilion, the son of which big official, and the nephew of which big official, how could Zhang Huang care about what these people said.
What Zhang Huang cared about was Wang Yue's attitude, after all, he really hoped to learn the real swordsmanship from Wang Yue.
[This kid ......]
I have to say that Zhang Huang's previous words really moved Wang Yue.
What is a sword? It was a tool used to kill enemies, not an ornament worn around the waist of a scribe. Or the furnishings placed in the house, how can a sword that is not stained with blood be called a sword? If you can't kill, how can you call it swordsmanship?
Starting from his heart, Wang Yue was very satisfied with Zhang Huang's understanding of swords and swordsmanship, but because Zhang Huang had hinted that Wang Yue's swordsmanship teaching those scholars was just an empty shelf, which made Wang Yue feel displeased.
[What are you kid?] Dare to teach Wang a lesson? ]
This is Wang Yue's final view of Zhang Huang.
"Swordsmanship is a trick to kill...... Hehe, you'll kill someone and I'll see? Wang Yue said with a sneer.
In fact. He could feel the rich killing aura on Zhang Huang and the others, the kind of dark black qi that clings to the surface of the body and seems to be karma, which cannot be washed away by people who bear human lives in their lives, the reason why Wang Yue said this. It is nothing more than the belief that Zhang Huang and others dare not kill people in Luoyang City.
Listening to Wang Yue's words, those scholars suddenly became even more fierce, laughed and pointed at Zhang Huang and the others and shouted: "Come on, come on, come and kill this son!" ”
Zhang Huang frowned. After all, he still didn't act rashly, which made the mocking smile on the faces of those scholars even stronger.
[A bunch of idiots, if the boss does it.] It's not enough for a few of you to go together! ]
The black feather crows, who knew Zhang Huang's martial arts, scolded in their hearts.
After a long time, Wang Yue raised his hand to stop the loud ridicule of those scholars and sons, he looked at Zhang Huang and sneered, "What? Don't dare to kill? ”
Zhang Huang's favor towards Wang Yue gradually decreased, he shook his head, and said with a calm face, "Yes, I don't dare!" ”
The sword hall once again resounded with a burst of mockery and laughter from the sons of those scholars.
Even Wang Yue's face was a little smug, and he said coldly, "At a young age, I don't know how thick the sky is!" Don't you know that tall buildings rise from the ground? I haven't even laid the foundation, and I dare to boast that I want to learn real swordsmanship! It's ridiculous! ”
"......" Zhang Huang didn't say a word, and he didn't talk back.
Seeing this, Wang Yue felt a little bored, and said lightly, "If you really want to learn swordsmanship, Wang can also teach you, but before I saw you, I was very rude, and Wang wants to teach you a lesson!" …… If you want to learn real swordsmanship, you can, a thousand gold bindings, Wang will teach you! ”
[It's so ruthless...... A thousand gold? ]
[It's obvious that he wants to collect a huge amount of restraints, but he blames the boss for it, it's really hateful!] ]
[It's a villain!] ]
The Black Feather Crows couldn't help but feel a little angry in their hearts, after all, Wang Yue not only directly doubled the bundle of five hundred gold, but also attributed the matter to Zhang Huang's previous rudeness.
"Yes?" Wang Yue spread his hands and sneered.
Facing Wang Yue's question-like behavior, Zhang Huang shook his head and said, "Qianjin, there is no one." ”
Wang Yue's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he shouted: "Then don't you get out of here?!" ”
Before the words fell, he saw a faint smile on Zhang Huang's face, and said, "There is no daughter, but pearl agate or something......
Wang Yue was stunned and said hesitantly, "If it's worth enough gold, it's okay." …… Do you have one? ”
"Not down there." Zhang Huang spread his hands and said innocently.
"You!" Wang Yue suddenly became angry, brushed his sleeves back, and coldly reprimanded, "Get out!" ”
Unexpectedly, Zhang Huang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Master Wang only asked the uncle, but he didn't ask the uncle......
Wang Yue's footsteps suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Zhang Huang with an uncertain expression, and then turned around, his tone softened slightly, and asked, "Then your elders...... Possibly pay a thousand gold bundles? ”
"Can't!" Zhang Huang smiled faintly.
"Stinky boy, you dare to fool me?" The green tendons at the corners of Wang Yue's forehead were tensed, and he glared at Zhang Huang with anger on his face.
Zhang Huang was not stunned at all, and said with a smile, "But there is a brother ...... below."
Wang Yue interrupted Zhang Huang's words and said with a sneer, "Presumably your brother can't pay for you, right?" ”
"You guessed it!" Zhang Huang laughed.
Beside him, She Zhi and the Black Feather Crows couldn't help but laugh when they saw Wang Yue's angry and unhappy appearance, and the laughter was extremely joyful.
“…… Damn stinky boy! ”
Wang Yue gritted his teeth and cursed a few words, his fists were clenched so rattling that his eyes were even filled with a hint of murderous intent, and he was eager to kill these bastards. And at this moment, the apprentice who was wearing a coarse cloth sword robe with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked up to Wang Yue and said to Zhang Huang and the others in a calm tone like a pool of water, "Everyone, please go back." ”
"Shia?" Wang Yue looked at the apprentice in surprise.
It turned out that this apprentice wearing a coarse cloth sword robe and thick eyebrows and big eyes was the disciple who Wang Yue regarded as a parent and eventually passed on the mantle, Shi A.
Somehow, being interrupted by Shi A, the anger on Wang Yue's face subsided a lot, turned around and brushed his sleeves, and said coldly, "Shi A, tell them to get out, I don't want to see them again!" ”
Shi A nodded silently, and turned his head to look at Zhang Huang and the others.
At this time, Zhang Huang had already given up the idea of worshipping Wang Yue to learn swords, otherwise, he would not have deliberately mocked Wang Yue. Seeing Shi Ah make a gesture to send off the guest, he snorted coldly and said, "Brothers, let's go!" ”
Because Zhang Huang's previous mockery of Wang Yue made the black feather crows breathe a big sigh of evil, everyone didn't feel resentful, and one by one they left with their heads held high as if they had won a battle.
[……]
Looking at the back of Shi A, the only disciple he truly recognized, Wang Yue's face was faintly gloomy for some reason.
It didn't take long for Shi Ah to lead Zhang Huang and the others out of the Sword Pavilion. Before leaving, Li Tong spat disdainfully towards the Sword Pavilion, Shi A saw it in his eyes, but there was no expression on his face that was not surprised.
"The Sword Pavilion in the Inner City...... You weren't supposed to be here. ”
A faint sigh reached the ears of Chen Zhi, who was about to leave, and he subconsciously turned his head, but what he saw was the back of Shi A's departure, clothed and barefoot, walking on the snow.
[……]
couldn't help but be stunned, and it was difficult to come back to his senses for a long time.
"Ah, let's go!"
"Oh...... Oh ......" (To be continued......
