Chapter 47: Once Upon a Time in the North Sea
Ying Long's mind was dizzy, but a wooden sword was wielding a tiger and a tiger, he picked up the wine pot in the corner of the wall, raised his head and drank dry, and the swordsmanship had been practiced dozens of times before he stopped, his limbs were sore and weak, and he scolded weakly:
"Old angler, I'll take your life tomorrow with this trick!"
There was a shout outside the house, and a few people came from the alley in the distance, Xinan pushed the door in, followed by several workers of the winery, each panting, holding two jars of wine in front of him, Xinan pointed to the corner of the wall and said:
"Arrange it here, neatly!"
The workers flattered and set up the wine jugs, took the reward and left, Ying Long followed and closed the door, the dark night outside the house was dotted, and it was very late.
Xi Nan pulled out the long sword at his waist, danced a sword flower, lowered his hand and sighed, tears glistening in his eyes,
Ying Long hurriedly asked:
"Master, how are you—"
Xi Nan waved his hand and said, "Don't ask, how is the trick I just taught you?"
Ying Long laughed and said:
"Master, I'll show you this practice!"
Xi Nan didn't raise his head, and sighed:
"You'll go to bed early today, I-I-" Xinan didn't finish speaking, holding on to the stairs with one hand, and staggered up to the second floor,
Ying Long scratched his head and quietly followed, only to see Xi Nan leaning against the window frame, holding a pot of wine in his hand, the moonlight sprinkled on him, and a few strands of snow white hair on his forehead
Xi Nan put away his sword and said angrily:
"Didn't you say you should sleep?
Ying Long ignored Xi Nan, and also sat on the edge of the window, staring at the moon stupidly, and muttered in his heart for a while:
"Master, are you thinking about someone too?"
Xi Nan was startled at first, and then smiled and said, "Yes, yes, it's an old friend of mine!"
Ying Long asked, "Is it the Smoke Cloud Dao City Lord who fought with you that day?"
Xi Nan was furious and scolded: "No, no, how can he be my friend!"
Ying Long turned his head to stare at Xi Nan, and Xi Nan said: "What is the Fallen Horse Cherry Blossom Sword of Yanyun Dao? There is also Qinshui's Tianshui One Color Sword, Suzuki Miyako's Thirty-three Swords, these are nothing! That was a long time ago, there was a person who came to Beihai City to defeat three masters in a row, and only he is worthy of being my friend!"
Ying Long racked his brains and thought, it seemed that only Brother Rahu could have such ability, and asked casually:
"Is it Brother Rahu?"
Xi Nan was startled again, looked Ying Long up and down, and said:
"No, he's a Demon Ancestor, he has tossed the Three Realms in the past few years, he certainly has that ability, but the friend I'm talking about is not him!"
"Master, Master, is Brother Rahu a bad person?"
Xi Nan pondered for a long time, shook his head and said:
"He's not!"
Ying Long patted the window frame and laughed: "I just said that he must be a good person!"
Xi Nan smiled bitterly: "He's not a good person!" said as he pulled out the cork, took a big sip, and then said: "Child, right and wrong in this world are not very good judgments, for the two worlds of man and god, he is a notorious traitor, a demon who kills people without blinking, but to the demon world, he is a hero and a savior!"
Ying Long was silent, and Xi Nan smiled:
"I don't ask why you call him big brother, that friend of mine is called Wang Zhulu, he is not as capable as your big brother"
Ying Long asked, "What about him, why don't you see him coming to you?"
Xi Nan smiled bitterly: "He, presumably he won't come to me, maybe he's very busy!"
Ying Long asked, "Master, is he also a swordsman?"
"Of course!"
"Master, how did he become friends with you?"
With tears in her eyes, she choked up and said, "I-I-I-"
Ying Long saw that he was in great pain, and thought that there must be some unspeakable hardship in it, so he hurriedly persuaded:
"Master, Master, don't worry, blame me for being too talkative, I won't ask!"
Xi Nan stubbornly wiped away his tears and said:
"No, I want to talk about it, this is a big hatred in my life, and I don't plan to accept any more apprentices, so I'll tell you about it, but you have to promise the master, if the master can't see him until he dies, you will go to him for me, and you will say: I Xinan admit that he is the number one master of Beihai kendo!"
Ying Long nodded as if he didn't understand, Xi Nan stared at the moon, and said:
"Outside Beihai City, there are 36 large and small islands located along the coast, at that time, there were four masters in Beihai City, Yanyundao, Qintian, Suzuki Miyako, and your master and me, Beihai City Kendo is prosperous, and he prides himself on being a famous and decent family all year round, until the day he came, he called himself the owner of the Thirty-six Islands, holding the seal of the Thirty-six Islands, and he learned swordsmanship when he met people, and he was very serious, and never hurt people's lives!"
"He defeated three masters in three days in a row, it is really unbelievable! But I am the only one left, many people came to say that he is not, saying that our famous and decent family must not be defeated by the overseas island owner, I believed it at the time, but I can't do the ninth form of the 'Nine Pole Heaven', I-I really don't know how to win him!"
"He finally came, in this kendo hall, the sky was very clear that day, his long shoulders were big and his waist was thick, and he had a long sword pinned to his waist, followed by Yanyundao, Qin Tian, Suzuki Miyaoo, my hand holding the sword was trembling at that time!
"I compete with him in a sword competition, I have never seen such a difficult opponent, he seems to have the same heart as me, we compete in martial arts and swords during the day, and sleep at night, so that we can win or lose for five days in a row, and our friendship is deepening, and we have become good friends who talk about everything, he is far less ruthless than the rumors, although he is on a barbarian island, but he is also a gentleman's style——"
"Later, our friendship has become more and more serious, it turns out that Luohai Island also has its own swordsmanship, but it is quite different from Beihai City, I have daily learning with him, and the sword art has advanced by leaps and bounds, and I have to forget what kind of bullshit and decent I am! He also invited me to his house as a guest, he is willing to give me half of the island seal, and I will also be a carefree island master like him!"
"Later, it was a competition in the ring, it seemed that everyone wanted to win or lose, Suzuki Miyako sent a long robe, the long coat I wore and he faced him in the ring, there were a lot of people that day, and there were many fishermen and pirates, we each tried our best, and fought until the five hundred rounds, he didn't know why one stumbled, I was in a hurry, and I actually used the ninth form of the 'Nine Pole Heaven' - Falling Flying Flowers, his eyes were incomprehensible and resentful, and he also returned the move with the same supreme blow"
Ying Long asked, "And then?"
"And then, Master's left arm was gone, and I stabbed him in the chest, and I was in a coma for many days, and I couldn't figure out why he was so stumbling that day, and why he looked at me like that! I walked all over the thirty-six islands, but I couldn't find him, and then I came back to this hall, and I was in a daze until today!"
Ying Long suddenly thought of the old angler today, he kept saying that he had cut off his master's arm, and there was indeed a wound on his chest, could it be that he was the master's friend - Wang Zhulu, he shook his head again and again, and muttered:
"No, no!"
