Volume II, Chapter 35: The Last Test

The competition on the second day became a turning point for the two. Lin Peng went from not being able to touch Yu Changqing's sword at all to gradually being able to fight with the other party. And over time, the form also began to prevail from disadvantage.

Yu Changqing didn't expect things to turn out like this at all, he thought that a layman like Lin Peng would make him suffer a little and retreat in the face of difficulties. I didn't expect the other party to be like a hanging, one day at a time, this feeling, just like two people running in a race, at the beginning they were far ahead, but the other party chased all the way like a chicken blood, and the advantage at the beginning became smaller and smaller with time. In the end, I can only watch myself being surpassed, but there is nothing I can do!

"Damn!How could such a ridiculous thing happen?!"

Yu Changqing can't accept the reality that he is slowly being surpassed by the other party, he himself belongs to the kind of person with better talent, and his comprehension is very high among his peers, so he has always had a sense of superiority. But after a few days of competition, he felt that his growth power was worthless in front of Lin Peng!

"You must be lying! You've been hiding your strength, haven't you?!"

Yu Changqing shouted while frantically swinging his sword at Lin Peng.

"There is a flaw!"

Lin Peng saw that Yu Changqing's sword path was gradually chaotic, and when he saw the opportunity, he swung his big sword and flew out directly!

"What's .....?!"

What worries Yu Changqing the most happened, this scene happened on the first day when he fought against Lin Peng, but now he has changed people, and the person who was knocked away from the sword in his hand has changed from Lin Peng to himself!

"You... Who the hell is it?!How can there be such an abnormal growth rate?!!"

At this moment, Yu Changqing had completely lost the arrogance he had at the beginning, but looked at Lin Peng with a puzzled expression. He didn't understand, why the other party was able to progress so fast?!

"I just wanted to do what I wanted to do, and that's it. ”

Lin Peng said, picked up the sword that Yu Changqing had dropped on the ground, and threw it at his feet.

"Do you want to come again?"

"Forget it....."

Yu Changqing looked at the sword lying at his feet and sighed helplessly. He didn't expect that it would take only 7 days, just 7 days! The situation had been completely reversed!

"It seems that the Lord didn't arrange this match to drive you away, but really thought that you could beat me in seven days. Hahaha....."

Yu Changqing looked up at the sky and smiled a little sadly.

"Lin Peng, you won this game, and I will always remember your name. ”

Yu Changqing said, picked up the sword on the ground, turned around and left the competition venue.

"Congratulations, Brother Lin!"

Seeing that Yu Changqing had already taken the initiative to withdraw, Zhang Jifeng hurriedly walked in front of Lin Peng and said with a smile.

"Whew~"

Lin Peng breathed a long sigh of relief, he was really worried that the other party would continue to fight just now, he hadn't trained much, and in the past few days, he was tired. In fact, since the fourth day, he has been relying on willpower to hold on. Fortunately, we won in the end.

"I want to go back and take a good shower!"

Lin Peng stretched his waist and said with a smile.

"Yes, the competition is over, and your time is free now. ”

Zhang Jifeng said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll go first!"

After winning the game, Lin Peng's mood was exceptionally good, and he jumped and walked towards the Taoist temple.

......

In the bathroom in the backyard of Qingyunguan, there is a large bathtub. It was used by Ye Jingfeng for bathing on weekdays, but at this time, Lin Peng used it. He boiled a jar full of water from the kitchen, lay down in the large bathtub, and took a beautiful bath.

"It's so cool~"

Lying in the bathtub, Lin Peng instantly felt that his tiredness had disappeared a lot, and the whole person gradually relaxed. Sure enough, taking a hot bath after exercising is the most comfortable.

That's a test today, right? You should be able to meet that person tomorrow, right?

Lying in the bathtub, Lin Peng suddenly thought that he hadn't seen Ye Jingfeng's face until now.

"Forget it, don't think about it yet. ”

Lin Peng slowly closed his eyes, leaned back in the bathtub, and emptied all his thoughts to enjoy the tranquility that only belonged to the moment.....

......

After taking a bath, Lin Peng changed into a change of clothes, pushed open the door and prepared to go back to the room to sleep. Suddenly, he felt something tripped under his feet, and he lost his balance and stumbled forward several steps before stopping.

"W-What?!"

Lin Peng looked back and saw that there was actually a person sleeping next to the door of the bathroom!

"Damn! Who is this?!"

He was in too much of a hurry to pay attention to it, Lin Peng cautiously walked over and approached the person to take a look!

I saw that this was an old man with white hair, and his clothes were in tatters. It looks like that, he should be a bum. And I don't know if it's because of the thin clothes, the homeless man has been trembling.

"Why did the homeless man get here?"

Although Lin Peng felt strange in his heart, he did not sit idly by. He crouched down and patted the old man on the back.

"Old man, you will catch a cold when you sleep here, and the temperature will be very low at night on the mountain. ”

The old tramp twisted his stiff body, and seemed to have no intention of leaving.

"Hey~"

Lin Peng looked at the other party's weak appearance, sighed slightly, raised the old man's arm with both hands, carried him on his back, and walked towards his room.

"Let him sleep all night. ”

Lin Peng brought his own quilt, covered the old man, rubbed his tired eyes, lay on his back on the bed, and soon fell asleep groggily.

The next day, when Lin Peng got up from the bed, he found that the old man yesterday was gone! And the quilt that was originally covering the old man was draped on his body at some point.

"What's going on?!Is he gone?"

Lin Peng looked at the quilt on his body, full of doubts.

"Brother Lin, are you up?"

At this time, Zhang Jifeng's voice happened to come from outside the door.

"Ah, I'm up!

Lin Peng put down the quilt in his hand and quickly replied. It is estimated that the Ye Daoist is going to see him.

"Uncle Shi said he wanted to see you, let me take you over!"

"Okay! I got it!

Lin Peng really guessed correctly, so he quickly got up and got dressed, and didn't think about it anymore.

Qingyun Temple itself was not big, Lin Peng followed behind Zhang Jifeng, and soon arrived at Ye Jingfeng's residence.

"Uncle Shi, I brought him here!"

Zhang Jifeng walked to Ye Jingfeng's room, knocked lightly on the door, and said to the people inside the door.

"Bring him in. ”

A middle-aged man's voice came from inside the door.

"Okay!"

Zhang Jifeng looked back at Lin Peng and motioned for him to go in with him.

Are you finally going to see me?

Lin Peng looked at the door in front of him, and his hands couldn't help but shake a little nervously, he was very curious, what kind of person was this legendary sword saint?!

"Click!"

The door was slowly pushed open by Zhang Jifeng, Lin Peng raised his head, looked into the room, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Yes, it's you?!"

"What's the matter, has Brother Lin seen Uncle Shi before?"

Seeing this, Zhang Jifeng asked curiously.

"Aren't you the old man from last night?!"

Lin Peng thought about it, the person in front of him was the homeless man who was carried into the room by himself last night!

"Oh, do you see that?"

Seeing that his identity was recognized, Ye Jingfeng nodded with a smile and admitted.

"Could it be... The one from last night... Is it a temptation?!"

Lin Peng was not stupid, and quickly guessed Ye Jingfeng's intentions.

"You're right, last night's one was indeed a temptation. ”

Ye Jingfeng did not deny it, but nodded and smiled.

"Uncle Shi, what are you talking about?!"

Zhang Jifeng was in the clouds listening from the sidelines.

"Hurricane, there's nothing going on here for the time being, so you can go out first. I'll talk to this little brother alone for a while. ”

Ye Jingfeng raised his head and motioned for Zhang Jifeng to go out first.

"Okay, then uncle, you talk, I'll go out first. ”

Zhang Jifeng nodded, turned around and walked out of the room, and brought the door up by the way.

"After so many days, I'm sure you must have a lot of questions to ask, right? Don't worry, I'll answer them for you slowly. ”

Ye Jingfeng poured a cup of tea for Lin Peng and motioned for him to sit down and speak.

"Why... That is the way you were going to test me last night?!"

Lin Peng held the teacup in both hands and hesitated for a moment to ask.

"Quite simply, I want to know more about who you are. ”

Ye Jingfeng took a sip of tea slightly and said.

"Human?!"

"That's right. ”

Ye Jingfeng put down the teacup in his hand, and his expression became serious.

"Yesterday you won the match with Changqing, and you took a bath, which is the most relaxed state of human spirit. A person is most exposed to his true nature at such a time. So I'm going to test you, and I'm going to see what kind of person you really are. If there is anything wrong with your behavior last night, I will not hesitate to drive you away today!

Lin Peng didn't expect Ye Jingfeng to think about it so thoroughly, if he really accidentally did something radical last night, wouldn't he be .....

Thinking of this, Lin Peng was scared out of a cold sweat.

"But it's good, I'm very happy with your performance. It shows that you are still a young man with a pure temperament. ”

Seeing Lin Peng's nervous look, Ye Jingfeng hurriedly said with a smile.

"The person recommended to me by the head of the sect is really right, so let's make an exception to accept another apprentice today!"

"That's... What do you mean?!"

Lin Peng listened to the other party's words and seemed to understand what he meant.

"Hmm. ”

Ye Jingfeng smiled and nodded.

"The master is above, and the apprentice is worshipped!"

Lin Peng hurriedly got up and bowed.

"Get up. ”

Ye Jingfeng stretched out his hand and helped Lin Peng up.

"You are actually very talented, and you have a 'heart eye', but you only lack a guide. In the future, I'll take care of you. ”

"Thank you, master!"

"Well, in that case. Then I won't talk nonsense, and today I will start your special training. Come with me. ”

Ye Jingfeng said, picked up a red long sword beside him, and motioned for Lin Peng to follow him.

"Are you curious about this sword?"

On the way, Ye Jingfeng saw that Lin Peng had been staring at the red long sword in his hand, and asked with a smile.

"It's... This seems to be the sword you used to stop me from fighting Yu Changqing that day, right?"

Lin Peng saw that the sword lines were very good-looking, the style was somewhat similar to the Tang sword, but it was a little different from the Tang sword, and it was estimated that it was a work of the late Tang Dynasty.

"That's right, the name of this swordβ€”it's called 'True Martial Sword', and it's the treasure of my Wudang Mountain. However, it has another special purpose besides being used as a weapon....."

"Special purpose?!"

"Well, it's here..... Let's just show you. ”

Ye Jingfeng said, and suddenly stopped.

"It's... What kind of place is this?!"
