The clouds and mist over the Ghost Valley shrouded all year round.

Wei Zhuang stood in the fence courtyard, looking at the fence courtyard that had lost the slightest popularity.

Wei Zhuang's face showed a look of loss, in the more than a year he had been outside, he often thought of the days in the Ghost Valley, which was one of the few peaceful times when he had grown so big.

He grew up in the Korean royal palace since he was a child, as an orphan of Zheng Guo, a descendant of Zheng Zhuanggong, the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Dynasty in the past, since Zheng Guo was destroyed by Korea, because he has half Korean blood, so he can hide in the dark Korean cold palace to survive, but his mother died early because of his imprisonment.

Those childhood humiliations are the scars of his life that are difficult to heal.

Until one day, the appearance of Master Guiguzi Zhao Yi took him away from the cold palace in Korea.

He has been accustomed to seeing filthy hearts since he was a child, and Zhao Yi's appearance is tantamount to bringing a ray of light to him who has been in the dark abyss all year round.

Wei Zhuang, who is accustomed to seeing the warmth and coldness of people, wants to become stronger all the time, and wants to kill King Han, who has given him infinite humiliation.

Therefore, after entering the Ghost Valley, he cultivated day and night, and did not dare to slack off.

As a descendant of Zheng Zhuanggong, he is proud.

When he knew that his senior brother Gai Nie had left the Ghost Valley, he was very angry.

He felt that Gai Nie had betrayed the Ghost Valley.

But the master didn't seem to have much surprise or anger at the departure of his brother Gai Nie.

This made Wei Zhuang puzzled, but also seemed to sense something.

For more than a year, he has been walking around the rivers and lakes, asking for news from his senior brother Gai Nie.

Finally got to him.

He didn't expect Gai Nie to actually go to the Qin State.

Wei Zhuang did not go to the Qin State to find Gai Nie.

Instead, he returned to Sinzheng, the capital of South Korea.

Compared with competing with his senior brother Gai Nie and deciding the winner, he has more important things to do, that is, to kill Han Wang'an, who once gave him infinite humiliation.

However, during his time in Xinzheng, South Korea, he found that it seemed not so easy to kill Han Wangan.

At least, with his current strength, it is difficult to do it.

So, he's back.

He returned to the Valley of Ghosts.

I want to inherit the Ghost Valley Peerless School from my master.

But Wei Zhuang looked at the empty and unpopular Ghost Valley.

There is an indescribable feeling in my heart.

Did Master also leave the Ghost Valley?

When he left the valley, although the master promised him to walk outside as a descendant of the Guigu Valley, how could he be called a real descendant of the Guigu if he did not inherit the Guigu mastery!

Wei Zhuang stood in the small courtyard of the fence and was speechless for a long time.

After a long time, he knelt on the ground, stretched his arms, and roared to the sky.

He put down the mask of his usual strength and indifference, and in this no-man's valley, no one would see his vulnerability.

At this moment, a lazy voice made Wei Zhuang suddenly change his face and quickly get up.

"Xiaozhuang, what are you howling in the morning?"

"I don't know if it's going to disturb the old man's practice?"

Ye Qianqiu stood under the eaves in front of the main house with a light smile on his face, and said towards Wei Zhuang.

Although Wei Zhuang was taken aback, there was still not much shock on his face.

Although he had known that Ye Qianqiu was an extremely powerful character, after more than a year of experience outside, he felt that his skills had increased a lot.

But even so, in the face of the elusive Mr. Ye, he didn't hear any movement at all.

In fact, he has always been respectful of Ye Qianqiu.

Because, he always felt that Ye Qianqiu's eyes could see through him.

He didn't like it.

The experience since he was a child has made him accustomed to wearing a mask of indifference on his face.

But every time he faced Ye Qianqiu, he would feel a kind of discomfort.

Like, now.

He had just taken off his disguise and revealed his vulnerable side.

But it happened to be in the eyes of Ye Qianqiu.

"Mr. Ye...... How are you? ”

Wei Zhuang said as calmly as he could.

"If it's not me, who else can there be?"

Ye Qianqiu smiled and sat on the wooden board under the eaves with a grin. looked at Wei Zhuang, who was still sad and painful just now, and changed his face in a blink of an eye, and couldn't help but be a little impressed by this kid's ability to restrain his emotions.

From the day he entered the Ghost Valley, this kid has been indifferent and ruthless.

A few years have passed, and I haven't seen any changes in this kid.

To be a man to such a point, he often wears a mask, and he is a little tired.

"Sir, where is my master and his old man?"

Wei Zhuang asked.

Ye Qianqiu smiled and said, "How can I know where he went, you also know that your master has always been ghostly and mysterious in his work, and when he goes out of the valley, he will never tell others where he is going." ”

"What? Are you looking for him? ”

When Wei Zhuang heard this, he was silent for a long time before he said, "I just want to tell Master that I have heard some news from Senior Brother. ”

"Since Master is not in the valley."

"Then I'll leave first."

"Goodbye, sir."

As he spoke, Wei Zhuang bowed towards Ye Qianqiu and turned to leave.

Wei Zhuang just walked two steps.

Ye Qianqiu's voice reached his ears again.

"Xiaozhuang, you kid is too rude."

"How?"

"I'll eat people?"

"Let your kid run away when he sees me."

When Wei Zhuang heard this, he stopped, turned around, and said, "Sir, is there anything I need to do?" ”

Ye Qianqiu smiled and said, "You go hunt two game, since your master left, I haven't opened meat for a long time." ”

Wei Zhuang listened, and didn't say anything, only said "yes".

Then he turned and walked out of the courtyard.

Ye Qianqiu couldn't help but shake his head as he watched Wei Zhuang's figure go away.

This kid is too thoughtful and doesn't like others to snoop on his mind, which may have a lot to do with the environment in which he grew up.

The relationship between Wei Zhuang and Ye Qianqiu has always been not as close as the relationship between Ye Qianqiu and Gai Nie.

The main thing is that this kid Wei Zhuang seems to be hiding from himself.

In the past, when he instructed Gai Nie's swordsmanship, he also pointed Wei Zhuang with his hand.

But Wei Zhuang seemed to absorb Ye Qianqiu's guidance very slowly.

Ye Qianqiu could feel that Wei Zhuang seemed to be a little afraid of him.

But this kid is a proud person in his heart, so he can only stay away from himself.

What is Wei Zhuang's mind, Ye Qianqiu actually doesn't bother to think about it at all.

He's so old, so who cares about what's going on in this kid's head.

Wei Zhuang is not his apprentice.

If it weren't for Zhao Yi's entrustment of him to leave the inheritance of Guigu to Wei Zhuang, he would not have bothered to show up in the future.

Leave the ring and sword spectrum representing the head of Guigu directly in the house.

Wei Zhuang returned to the Ghost Valley.

Then he is the next Guiguzi.

Ye Qianqiu looked at the collection of books of the Guigu Sect.

has lived in the Ghost Valley for so many years, plus Zhao Yi's entrustment.

It is reasonable for him to explain some things in Guigu to Wei Zhuang, and by the way, he will give him another pointer.

As for how much Wei Zhuang can listen to, that's his own business.

Ye Qianqiu has no obligation to teach the Baohui.

An hour and a half later, Wei Zhuang returned.

He brought a rabbit that had been roasted and picked a bunch of wild fruits.

"Sir, please."

Wei Zhuang put the roasted rabbit meat and wild fruits in the kitchen utensils and brought them to Ye Qianqiu.

Ye Qianqiu sniffed it and said, "Well, it tastes good, it seems that in the past few years, you have learned this cooking skill from your senior brother." ”

When Wei Zhuang heard this, he stood aside and didn't say a word, like a dumb person.

Seeing this, Ye Qianqiu really felt that this kid was very boring.

"Come and sit down and eat together."

Ye Qianqiu said towards Wei Zhuang.

Wei Zhuang twisted for a long time before sitting opposite Ye Qianqiu.

Seeing this, Ye Qianqiu smiled slightly, ate a few bites of rabbit meat, and said, "Before your master leaves, I will leave you two things." ”

When Wei Zhuang heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Sir, what is it?" ”

Ye Qianqiu said: "Eat first, and I'll show you after eating." ”

When Wei Zhuang heard this, he only said, "Sir, I have already eaten." ”

Ye Qianqiu pointed to a large rabbit meat and said, "To be a man, it's better to be simple, people can't live in hatred forever." ”

"You kid has a straight face every day, as if everyone owes you money."

"How can you learn to learn from the Ghost Valley like this?"

"Eat first, everything has a process."

"You want to do it overnight, it's impossible."

When Wei Zhuang heard this, he bowed slightly, and began to eat rabbit meat without saying a word.

Ye Qianqiu knew that Wei Zhuang's temperament was like this, and it was difficult to change.

Ye Qianqiu would not force him to change anything.

In such a chaotic world.

Whether it is an ordinary person or a child of a noble prince, it is possible that the future is precarious.

Sometimes the nobles who have perished their country and the extinct species are a few points worse than ordinary civilians.

Ye Qianqiu just felt that since he had promised Zhao Yizhao to take care of Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang one or two, he had to do his best.

This is the first time in Weizhuang that he has been alone with Ye Qianqiu in the past few years.

He could hear what Ye Qianqiu said clearly.

seemed expressionless and didn't react, but in fact, there were still some waves in my heart.

Wei Zhuang, who has always been respectful of Ye Qianqiu, does not understand Ye Qianqiu's temperament as well as Gai Nie.

Ye Qianqiu has always treated these little characters with little words, and he has always had no arrogance.

It's just that Wei Zhuang is twisted in his heart, and he feels that Ye Qianqiu has seen through him, so he will stay away from Ye Qianqiu.

Wei Zhuang was eating rabbit meat, and for a while, he was in a trance.

After the two of them had eaten the rabbit meat and wild fruits, they were almost done.

Ye Qianqiu stood up and said, "Xiaozhuang, you come with me." ”

Wei Zhuang nodded, stood up, followed Ye Qianqiu, and walked into the main house.

In the past, in this room, Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie were not allowed to enter without the consent of their master Zhao Yi.

In the past few years, Wei Zhuang has practiced as diligently as Gai Nie.

The house where Master Zhao Yi lives is actually the same strange.

I saw that in the wide room, there were rows and rows of bookshelves.

On the bookshelf, there are rolls and rolls of bamboo slips.

Ye Qianqiu said as he walked: "These are part of the inheritance of the Ghost Valley. ”

"If you want to become a real descendant of Guigu, you have to read all these bamboo slips."

"You have to look carefully and carefully, and you can't just look at the flowers."

"The disciples of the Ghost Valley, such as Su Qin and Zhang Yi, can become famous in the troubled times, and use the technique of combining vertical and horizontal to the extreme."

"In addition to their respective wisdom, it all depends on the inheritance of this ghost valley."

"The art of vertical and horizontal is not the so-called vertical and horizontal swordsmanship, the real mastery of Guigu is these art of war and strategy."

"If you just want to become a martial artist, you can take the sword spectrum and leave now, but I won't give you the ring of the head of the Guigu faction."

"Zhao Yi doesn't want the Ghost Valley inheritance to be severed, and I don't want the Ghost Valley inheritance to be cut off."

"I hope you can become a real Guiguzi, not a reckless man in vain."

Ye Qianqiu's forward footsteps suddenly stopped.

Let me listen carefully, Wei Zhuang, who set off a huge wave in his heart, almost crashed into Ye Qianqiu's body.

This is the first time that Wei Zhuang has truly learned about the inheritance of Guigu.

In the past, he and his senior brother Gai Nie only knew how to practice martial arts, and only knew how to learn the martial arts of the Guigu Valley, but they never thought that the real inheritance of the Guigu was not the vertical and horizontal swordsmanship.

It's not what he Wei Zhuang thought was a hundred-step flying sword.

Instead, there are rolls and rolls of bamboo slips placed in this room.

At this time, Ye Qianqiu could only be heard to continue: "Originally, according to your master's intentions, you would not have had the opportunity to see these bamboo slips. ”

"But I think it's up to man to make things happen."

"Although your master is a good teacher, he may not really be a qualified teacher."

"Perhaps, he expected that the Six Kingdoms would eventually be annexed by the Qin State, and the world would eventually be unified."

"After the world is unified, there will be no use for vertical and horizontal techniques, so I simply won't pass on these tactics to you."

"However, in my opinion, no matter what your qualifications are, as long as you are willing to study hard, you will definitely be able to achieve something, even if you don't have a place to use these tactics in the future."

"After all, we will not let the wisdom of our predecessors go to waste."

"Xiaozhuang, do you understand what I mean?"

Ye Qianqiu turned around and looked towards Wei Zhuang, who was close to him.

Wei Zhuang was frightened by Ye Qianqiu's calm and serious expression, and took two steps back.

Ye Qianqiu looked at Wei Zhuang, as if he could see Wei Zhuang clearly from the inside out.

Wei Zhuang's heart was beating rapidly.

Even when he was angry with his master, he had never been under such pressure.

Ye Qianqiu said word by word: "I hope you won't become an indifferent butcher and bury the Ghost Valley Peerless Learning." ”

"Even if a person lives in darkness, he must still turn his heart to the light."

"The real strong man is one who has seen the endless darkness and will still believe in the arrival of the light."

Wei Zhuang looked at Ye Qianqiu's eyes and listened to the words that were still echoing in his ears.

It seems that for the first time, I understand why my senior brother Gai Nie fled from the Ghost Valley.

I also understood why Senior Brother Gai Nie often asked Mr. Ye questions.

At this time, Ye Qianqiu turned around, walked to the table in front of the room and sat down.

Wei Zhuang stopped for a moment and walked towards Ye Qianqiu.

Then he stood solemnly in the hall, bowed to Ye Qianqiu, and said, "Wei Zhuang, please give me advice." ”

Ye Qianqiu smiled and said, "Starting from the third floor of the fourth row on the left, if you don't understand, you can come and ask me." ”

Wei Zhuang nodded.

Head to the fourth row of bookshelves on the left.

In the secluded ghost valley, the former calm has returned.

This was Wei Zhuang's first encounter with the art of war and strategy.

The first generation of Guiguzi Wang Chan evolved his own vertical and horizontal way into vertical and horizontal swordsmanship.

But if you don't understand the essence of Guiguzi's vertical and horizontal swordsmanship, even if you practice vertical and horizontal swordsmanship to the highest level, it is only a relatively strong swordsmanship.

Guiguzi Wang Chan summarized his own vertical and horizontal ways in a total of thirteen articles, and was called the vertical and horizontal family book by later generations of Guigu disciples.

Wei Zhuang's qualifications above the kendoare are indeed top-notch.

However, he is not an all-rounder.

When he first read the thirteen chapters of the Zongheng family book, he was in a fog when he read it, and he didn't even understand three percent of it.

In order to become a veritable Guiguzi, he gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and took bamboo slips to ask Ye Qianqiu for advice word by word.

Ye Qianqiu is well-versed in ancient and modern times, well-read and knowledgeable, and he has already studied the thirteen articles of this vertical and horizontal family book.

Since he wants to make Weizhuang a real Guiguzi, he will not be stingy with learning.

explained the main points of the thirteen chapters of the Zongheng family book to Wei Zhuang, and also gave examples for him to understand.

There are similarities between Zongheng family letters and Zongheng swordsmanship.

This is the essence of the vertical and horizontal science of the Ghost Valley, the technique of shutting, reacting, inward, resisting, and flying tongs.

It can be used in swordsmanship against enemies or in conversations and debates.

For several days, Wei Zhuang consulted Ye Qianqiu on thirteen family letters.

A month later, Wei Zhuang had comprehended seventy or eighty percent of the thirteen chapters of the Zongheng Family Book, and he finally understood the wonders of Guigu's mastery.

Wei Zhuang has always believed in using force to solve things, but this way of vertical and horizontal is by no means martial arts, but a way of advancing and retreating.

Wei Zhuang is quiet and silent, but since he learned the thirteen vertical and horizontal articles, under the drive of Ye Qianqiu, he has also learned to debate with others.

often argues with Ye Qianqiu because of one thing.

This was unimaginable before.

What Ye Qianqiu is best at is subtle.

He didn't want the new Guiguzi to be a person who advocated using violence to solve problems.

If Wei Zhuang is not trained, he, Guiguzi, will be a killer leader with the identity of the heir of Guigu in the future.

Wei Zhuang finished learning the thirteen chapters of the Zongheng family book, and began to read the thirteen chapters of the Guiguzi Art of War.

The inheritance left by the first generation of Guiguzi Wang Chan can really be called broad and profound, which in addition to the art of strategy and calculation, the art of cultivating nature, but also the art of getting rich, what animal and plant breeding methods, as well as the trade principles of doing business are recorded.

There is also a volume of "Tianwu Sutra", which is about the technique of pushing life and physiognomy, and after reading this book, you can understand the number of fate, physiognomy, and the blessings and misfortunes of life.

At the beginning, Zhao Yiyi's appearance was not ordinary, because he learned the fur from this "Tianwu Sutra".

In addition to these, there are also dossiers related to astronomy and geography, astrological numbers, and elixir health.

Ordinary people may not be able to fully understand all these inheritances throughout their lives.

Ye Qianqiu knew that if he wanted Wei Zhuang to finish learning all these things, I was afraid that he would be too old to walk, and it would be difficult for him to reach it.

So, Ye Qianqiu only let him see three of them, in addition to the most important way of vertical and horizontal, there are two things that are the art of cultivating nature and cultivating the truth and the way of the art of war.

When Wei Zhuang entered the valley, he originally wanted to stay in the valley for some time, learn the mastery of the ghost valley and leave.

But who would have thought that the Ghost Valley Peerless School would be so vast and profound.

This is still tutored by Ye Qianqiu, and only three of them are selected.

If you want to read all the bamboo slips in this room and understand them, then it is estimated that you will have the Year of the Monkey.

Although Wei Zhuang was very anxious in his heart, he wanted to improve his martial arts, after all, he also wanted to seek revenge on Han Wangan.

It's just that he hasn't even seen the hair of the sword spectrum now, and he buries his head in gnawing bamboo slips all day long, even if he is anxious in his heart, it is useless.

After all, the sword spectrum was still in Ye Qianqiu's hands.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

Wei Zhuang couldn't hold it back, and on this day, he and Ye Qianqiu said: "Sir, I have something that I don't know whether to talk about or not." ”

Ye Qianqiu smiled: "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Wei Zhuang said: "I want to ...... I want to practice swordsmanship. ”

Ye Qianqiu listened, smiled slightly, and said, "If you want to learn swordsmanship, it's simple." ”

"You only need to answer me a few questions, as long as you can answer them, I will hand over the sword score to you immediately."

When Wei Zhuang heard this, he immediately bowed down and said, "Please give me advice!" ”

Hearing this, Ye Qianqiu sat at the table, smiled slightly, and asked, "What is the current situation in the world?" ”

Wei Zhuang listened, paused, and then said: "The so-called time of the world is the movement trend of the general trend of the world. ”

"The so-called trend of the world is the various forces that promote the general trend of the world."

"If you compare the world to the sea, the direction of the wind is the time, and the tide that moves because of the wind is the trend."

"To grasp the situation is to make the tide."

"The current situation in the world is confusing, unpredictable, and ever-changing."

"The sage knows the time and the situation, and uses the situation according to the time, so he rules the world."

"Traitors are born against the times, and therefore the times are in trouble."

Ye Qianqiu nodded, and continued to ask, "What is the world?" ”

Wei Zhuang didn't think much about it now, and blurted out: "Speculation is to measure the hearts of others." ”

"If you are a person, you must observe their words, their colors, their voices, and their deeds, and then deduce the trend of their hearts."

"If you want to look at the world, you must look at the national conditions, see whether its goods and wealth are there, how many people there are, how dangerous the terrain is, how strong or weak the military is, how wise and foolish the monarchs and ministers, what the blessings and misfortunes of the time, and how the people's hearts are back, and then deduce whether its national fortunes are prosperous or declining, whether they are rising or falling."

Ye Qianqiu nodded with satisfaction and said, "In this way, you should know why the Qin State is the only one in today's world." ”

When Wei Zhuang heard this, he bowed down and said, "The disciple is taught." ”

Ye Qianqiu smiled and continued: "Don't worry, it's just two questions. ”

"Let me ask you, what is art and Tao?"

When Wei Zhuang heard this, he was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, but after thinking about it, he went through everything he had learned in the past six months in his mind, and finally had some clues.

After a while, Wei Zhuang said: "Any learning has a way of art, as far as the science of war is concerned, the art of using soldiers lies in defeat, and the way of using soldiers lies in settling disputes. ”

"Therefore, those who make good use of soldiers are not warlike, and the way of using soldiers lies in the soldiers who surrender without fighting, and in turning hostility into jade silk, and dialing a thousand jun with four or two."

Ye Qianqiu said with a smile: "Since you understand that any knowledge has a way of art, can you still be obsessed with the sword spectrum?" ”

When Wei Zhuang heard this, he was stunned again.

Ye Qianqiu continued: "Sword is also divided into art and Tao, swordsmanship and kendo, the two seem to be just one word, but they are very different. ”

"Those who only know the practice of art will not be able to reach the Tao after all."

"If the Tao is successful, the art is in one mind, and the magic is endless."

"As far as today's kendo is concerned, there are only three swords in the world."

"One of them is the holy sword, the holy sword is also known as the sword of the heavenly way, with the Tao as the back, with virtue as the edge, with yin and yang as the qi, with the five lines of handles, the upper can break the sky, and the lower can be Jedi."

"The two virtuous swords, also known as the swords of the Son of Heaven, take the people as the back, take the virtuous ministers as the front, respond to the way of heaven, follow the geography, and neutralize the public opinion."

"The third is a vulgar sword, also called a human sword, with stainless steel as the edge, alloy as the back, and cold forest as the gas, the upper part can be beheaded, the lower part can chop off the feet, and the middle can break the internal organs."

"Do you understand?"

Wei Zhuang listened to Ye Qianqiu's words and fell into deep thought.

If he had been in the past, he would definitely not have understood the deep meaning of Ye Qianqiu's words.

In the past, he only saw the surface of swordsmanship, and did not understand swordsmanship.

However, in the past half a year in Guigu, after a series of studies, Wei Zhuang's knowledge has been greatly improved.

In the past, he stayed away from Ye Qianqiu because he felt that Ye Qianqiu could see through himself.

Under the strong self-esteem, there is an inferiority complex.

The self-confidence shown since childhood is just to be seen by others.

But as time goes by to learn the way of Guigu, although Wei Zhuang still has many problems, he is not the same as before after all.

At this time, Wei Zhuang bowed down to Ye Qianqiu again, and said solemnly: "The disciple is taught." ”

Ye Qianqiu bowed slightly and said, "I have prepared nine questions, three have already been asked, and there are still six." ”

"Listen up."

Wei Zhuang nodded and said, "Please ask Mr. questions." ”

Ye Qianqiu said: "What are the three realms of heaven, saint and man? ”

Wei Zhuang listened, thought about it for a while, and answered.

"The way of heaven is the way of nature, that is, the principle of the birth and change of all things in the universe."

"The holy way is the way of the world, that is, the principle of peace and stability and the harmony of the world."

"Humanity is the way of life, that is, the principle of living and working in peace and contentment, and building the world for people."

"These three paths complement each other, lose one and leave the other, far away from the heavenly way, and the holy way is trapped; Far from the holy road, humanity is difficult. ”

Ye Qianqiu asked again: "What is the rule of people's hearts?" ”

The answers to these questions are in the bamboo slips that Wei Zhuang has seen, but there is no concise explanation in the bamboo slips.

I only heard Wei Zhuang reply: "If the world is not governed, it lies in the people's hearts." ”

"The incurability of the human heart lies in the overflowing of desires."

"If you want to rule the world, you must first rule the hearts of the people; If you want to rule people's hearts, you must first cure chaos. ”

"Controlling chaos is just a means, and curing the heart is the right way."

"If we only rule chaos for the sake of chaos, and only unify the world by force, even if we succeed, the world will not only be cured, but will only be more chaotic."

Speaking of this, Wei Zhuang fell into deep thought, only to feel that the question raised by Ye Qianqiu was by no means simple, it was asking him to think about the general trend of the world in the future in combination with the current situation in the world.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhuang decided not to mention the matter of the sword spectrum.

He bowed to Ye Qianqiu and said: "Sir's question, let Wei Zhuang be enlightened, and the rest of the questions, Mr. will keep them for the time being, and wait for Wei Zhuang's knowledge to be higher, and it will not be too late to ask." ”

"Please rest assured, Mr., Wei Zhuang will definitely learn the way of the Ghost Valley, and if he does not eat the way of the Ghost Valley, he will never go out of the valley."

At this time, Ye Qianqiu smiled slightly, took out a roll of cloth from his sleeve robe, put it in front of the table, and said, "If you can say this, it means that you have grown completely." ”

"This is the sword spectrum, you can take it."

"In the past six months, you have been studying in the valley of the ghost valley, and you haven't practiced swords for a long time, but now, you can practice."

When Wei Zhuang heard this, his face was full of doubts, and he said, "Sir, why is this?" ”

Ye Qianqiu smiled and said, "Everything is too much, the study of the Ghost Valley requires you to spend your whole life to comprehend, and it will not be a one-day achievement." ”

"In the past, I didn't give you the sword spectrum because you were too eager for quick success, even if you made the sword spectrum and practiced the sword technique, it was rare to find the true meaning."

"Now, with your kendo talent, within ten days, the realm will have a great improvement."

When Wei Zhuang heard this, some were skeptical.

Ye Qianqiu acted unreasonably.

But since the sword spectrum is here, if he doesn't take it, it won't look like he is Weizhuang.

Wei Zhuang took two steps forward, took the cloth, and after saluting Ye Qianqiu, he went out of the house and practiced his sword.

Seeing that Wei Zhuang was gone, Ye Qianqiu picked up a roll of bamboo slips on the table and studied it carefully.

Guigu's knowledge is broad and profound, and in the past six months, he has also benefited a lot from teaching Wei Zhuang.

In fact, he prepared nine questions for Wei Zhuang, and he was also considering whether Wei Zhuang had the qualifications to go out of the valley.

If Wei Zhuang could answer all these nine questions, Ye Qianqiu would naturally let him out of the valley.

If he can't answer, naturally don't want to leave the Ghost Valley easily.

Ye Qianqiu is not Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi taught his apprentices, and felt that the apprentices were not all-rounders, so he only taught martial arts, only taught the word "decision", and did not teach the rest of the Guigu learning.

But Ye Qianqiu is just a beautiful person if he doesn't do it, if he wants to do it.

Since he wants Wei Zhuang to become a qualified Guiguzi, then he must train Wei Zhuang to be a longitudinal and horizontal family who can score at least sixty points.

In the past six months, the two have been getting along day and night, which has also given Ye Qianqiu a deeper understanding of Wei Zhuang, which has also become one of the reasons why he wants to cultivate Wei Zhuang into a talent.

In the past, Wei Zhuang didn't even look down on Su Qin.

Now, he should know how arrogant he used to be, what kind of frog he was at the bottom of a well.

In the next few days, Wei Zhuang studied the classics of Guigu during the day, and at night, he practiced swordsmanship.

Wei Zhuang's talent in kendo is indeed first-class.

In addition, he understood where the essence of the vertical and horizontal path was.

It is also handy to practice swordsmanship.

That night, Ye Qianqiu saw Wei Zhuang's hard work in sword practice and was meticulous.

He picked up the wooden sword that Gai Nie used before, and said to Wei Zhuang: "Xiao Zhuang, I'll make two moves with you." ”

"I use horizontal swordsmanship, you use vertical sword art."

Wei Zhuang was puzzled: "Sir, you can also master swordsmanship?" ”

Ye Qianqiu smiled and said, "Haven't you ever eaten pork, haven't you ever seen a pig run?" ”

"In my eyes, there are traces of swordsmanship in the world."

"I see that you have practiced swordsmanship for so many years, even if you have never learned vertical and horizontal swordsmanship, you can still make eight or nine inseparable."

"Needless to say, come on, let me see how much you've learned the art of swordsmanship."

When Wei Zhuang heard this, he immediately stopped hesitating, waved the wooden sword in his hand, and made a move towards Ye Qianqiu.

Ye Qianqiu raised his sword to block and attacked.

Wei Zhuang was surprised: "Across the Quartet!" ”

"No, sir, your traversal seems to be a little different from what I have learned."

"There are only four variations of the traverse I have learned, and this trick of the gentleman traverses the four directions, and there are actually eight variations among them!"

Ye Qianqiu said with a smile: "Swordsmanship is not static, don't be distracted, let's see how my sword is!" ”

Ye Qianqiu handed out another sword, and Wei Zhuang hurriedly went to block it.

Ye Qianqiu didn't need innate true qi, and even the strength and speed of his physical body were only less than one percent.

Wei Zhuang and Ye Qianqiu made more than ten moves, making him tired and sweating profusely.

"Alright, alright, don't fight, don't fight."

Ye Qianqiu lifted it casually and hung the wooden sword back on the wall of the room over there.

At this time, Ye Qianqiu saw that Wei Zhuang still wanted to practice twice.

Ye Qianqiu said, "Xiaozhuang, come here." ”

Ye Qianqiu took Wei Zhuang to sit under the eaves.

At this time, the bright moon hangs high.

The autumn wind blows at night, which makes people's hearts shake.

Ye Qianqiu raised his hand and took the kettle and cup placed on the table in the room.

Then pour a little water on the wooden floor.

"What does this mean, sir?"

Wei Zhuang looked at Ye Qianqiu with some doubts.

Ye Qianqiu smiled and said, "Let's make a game, now, the fingers of both of your hands are dipped in water." ”

When Wei Zhuang heard this, although he was very puzzled, he still raised his hand to do so.

Both index fingers are dipped in water.

"Now, you close your eyes, meditate on your breath, and draw a circle with one hand and a square with the other."

Ye Qianqiu said with a smile.

When Wei Zhuang heard this, he closed his eyes tightly, and his two index fingers began to draw on the wooden floor.

But Wei Zhuang painted several times in a row, but he didn't finish it.

Wei Zhuang was a little frustrated, which was a little difficult to accept for Wei Zhuang, who was very competitive.

Wei Zhuang couldn't help asking, "Is Mr. considering my ability to use two minds?" ”

Ye Qianqiu shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "That's it, that's it, why do I want you to learn this martial art." ”

"You kid is not pure-hearted, how can you learn this martial art."

As soon as Wei Zhuang heard the word martial arts, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Is Mr. going to teach my husband's martial arts?" ”

Ye Qianqiu shook his head and said, "You can't draw a square and a circle, but you can't learn this kung fu." ”

Wei Zhuang said, "Sir, let me try again." ”

Ye Qianqiu did not refuse.

When he and Wei Zhuang were fighting just now, the two of them used vertical swordsmanship and horizontal swordsmanship.

This reminded Ye Qianqiu that the combination of vertical and horizontal swordsmanship is the real vertical and horizontal swordsmanship.

However, in general, vertical and horizontal swordsmanship cannot be performed by one person at the same time, because this condition is very harsh.

But Ye Qianqiu had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he thought of the old naughty boy's left-right fighting technique.

If Wei Zhuang can learn the old naughty boy's left-right fighting technique, he can perform vertical and horizontal swordsmanship alone.

As a pinnacle auxiliary martial art, the left-right fighting technique has a huge bonus to the combat effectiveness of the practitioner itself, and it has an advantage when fighting alone.

For people who have a very high level of martial arts cultivation, this skill is close to a divine skill.

For learners, it is necessary to be pure in heart, so it is easier for people with simple minds and ignorance of the world to learn, and it is not easy for people with active minds and scheming to learn this trick.

Ye Qianqiu originally just had the mentality of giving it a try and asked Wei Zhuang to give it a try.

He also felt that Wei Zhuang's success was not very likely.

After all, Wei Zhuang, this kid, is deep in his mind and thinks about too many things.

Sure enough, let Wei Zhuang draw a circle with one hand and a square with the other, and he didn't paint it once for a long time.

At this moment, Wei Zhuang suddenly said happily: "Sir, look, I have finished painting!" ”

"I'm done!"

Wei Zhuang's face at this moment actually showed an unprecedented childlike smile.

Ye Qianqiu looked at Wei Zhuang with a strange expression, and then looked at the circle in front of Wei Zhuang, feeling a little strange.

Is this a coincidence?

Ye Qianqiu said: "You draw again." ”

Wei Zhuang nodded, dipped his two index fingers in the water again, closed his eyes, and drew on the wooden floor.

Now, Ye Qianqiu can see it clearly.

He really let him paint it.

"How's it going, sir!"

"Can I learn your martial arts?"

Wei Zhuang's face was filled with joy.

Ye Qianqiu looked at Wei Zhuang, who was a little different from before, this kid used to have a straight face, and he dragged it the same as two hundred and fifty eighty thousand, but now he finally learned to laugh.

In the past nearly a year, Ye Qianqiu's subtle influence on Weizhuang has finally had an effect.

Ye Qianqiu bowed slightly: "Okay, then give it a try." ”

The left and right fighting techniques were learned by the old naughty boy from the old naughty boy when he was in the Condor World when he was in Xiangyang to learn martial arts.

Although this martial art is essentially said to be single-minded and dual-purpose, it is by no means a simple dual-purpose science.

It is also necessary to consider the reaction of the human body and the degree of coordination.

In particular, if you want to apply this martial arts technique to other martial arts, the difficulty is doubled.

Ye Qianqiu talked to Wei Zhuang about the key points of the left and right fighting techniques, and asked Wei Zhuang to use the vertical sword technique with his left hand and the horizontal sword technique with his right hand.

At first, Wei Zhuang was a little uncomfortable, but soon, he adapted to this rhythm.

In just one hour, Wei Zhuang figured out the trick.

Wei Zhuang was overjoyed and said to Ye Qianqiu: "Sir, this technique is really amazing!" ”

"I used the vertical sword technique and the horizontal sword technique at the same time, and the power of the vertical and horizontal sword technique has greatly increased!"

"My strength has improved tremendously."

"Even if it's a senior brother, it's definitely not as good as me!"

Ye Qianqiu looked at the excited Wei Zhuang and said, "Okay, it's not too early, it's time to rest." ”

After speaking, Ye Qianqiu returned to the main house with his hand.

Wei Zhuang looked at Ye Qianqiu's back, and then looked at the two wooden swords in his hands, and for some reason, he suddenly had a feeling of wanting to cry.

He took a deep breath, shook his head, and continued to dance his sword.

……

In the blink of an eye, another half a year has passed.

Wei Zhuang's vertical and horizontal swordsmanship has made great progress, and it is the hundred-step flying sword in the vertical swordsmanship, which has also been practiced by him.

When the traversal and hundred-step flying sword were used in Wei Zhuang's hands at the same time, the power was so huge that Wei Zhuang was also a little stunned.

After seeing the power of the Transverse and Hundred Steps Flying Sword cast at the same time.

He was finally sure that his senior brother Gai Nie was not his opponent.

In the past year, he has undergone a sea change.

A year ago, he would never have imagined that he would become such a person.

And all these changes originated from Mr. Ye.

At this time, Wei Zhuang was standing in the main room, answering the last five questions of Ye Qianqiu's nine questions, and now he had answered the first eight questions, leaving only the last one.

"Please ask a question, sir."

Wei Zhuang stood straight in the hall and said respectfully.

Wei Zhuang has been proud and arrogant since he was a child, and he never felt that he was weaker than anyone, nor was he convinced of anyone.

Even in the face of his master Zhao Yi, he also had the idea that the master may not be stronger than the apprentice, and the apprentice may not be weaker than the teacher.

But for Ye Qianqiu, he was really convinced.

Compared with Master Zhao Yi, Ye Qianqiu is more like a real master.

Wei Zhuang's self-confidence in the past was arrogant and unscrupulous, but now his self-confidence is exuding from the inside out.

Ye Qianqiu heard Wei Zhuang's words and smiled lightly: "The last question, what is the foundation of cultivation?" ”

When Wei Zhuang heard this, he was slightly stunned, thought for a long time, and said a little depressed: "The disciple doesn't know, please give me advice." ”

Ye Qianqiu said with a smile: "As the saying goes, no one is perfect. ”

"It is said that all men have mental obstacles, either for this or for the other."

"There is no one in sight, boasting about oneself, not seeking to understand, being ambitious, jealous, pretending to be clever, all these things, the heart obstacle lies in conceit."

"Withdrawn behavior, rarely speaking, and rarely getting along with others, this mental obstacle lies in a lack of self-confidence."

"The foundation of cultivation lies in removing mental obstacles."

"This is the last lesson I'm going to teach you."

When Wei Zhuang heard this, his body was shocked, he could naturally understand the meaning of Ye Qianqiu's words, in the past, he was respectful of Ye Qianqiu, and it was not a sign of unconfidence.

For more than a year, his heart barrier has been quietly removed.

Wei Zhuang bowed deeply to Ye Qianqiu and said, "Thank you Mr. for your advice, the disciple will definitely remember Mr. 's words." ”

Ye Qianqiu stood up, spread out his palm, revealing a ring made of unknown materials with a glowing glow, and said, "This is the ring of the head of the Guigu Sect, from today onwards, you are already qualified to wear this ring." ”

As soon as the words fell, Ye Qianqiu raised his hand and sent the ring in his palm to Wei Zhuang.

The ring fell steadily into Wei Zhuang's hand, and Wei Zhuang grabbed the ring in his hand and was silent for a long time.

After studying art for many years, he is finally qualified to become a real Guiguzi descendant.

This feeling is incomprehensible to others.

At this time, Ye Qianqiu said: "Okay, don't be stunned, hurry up and pack up, pack these bamboo slips into boxes, and bury them in the back of the house." ”

"After burying the bamboo slips, it's time for us to go out of the valley for a walk."

When Wei Zhuang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "Mr. wants to go out of the valley with me?" ”

Ye Qianqiu said with a negative hand: "What? Don't want to? ”

When Wei Zhuang heard this, he hurriedly said: "Where, it is my honor for Mr. to go out of the valley with me." ”

The two have been together day and night in the valley for more than a year.

is finally about to leave the Ghost Valley, and Wei Zhuang is a little reluctant.

In the past year, everything that happened in the Ghost Valley will be something he will never forget.

Ye Qianqiu asked Wei Zhuang to pack all the books in the Ghost Valley, dig a pit and bury them behind the main house.

These books are the most valuable treasure of the Ghost Valley.

Although it is said that the place where the ghost valley is located is secret, and ordinary people can't enter, but just in case, Ye Qianqiu still has to hide these books.

After staying in the Ghost Valley for several years, he is still very interested in the world outside the mountains.

So, early the next morning, after everything in the valley was settled.

Ye Qianqiu and Wei Zhuang left the Ghost Valley and headed towards Yunmeng Mountain.
