Chapter 85: Tiangang Sword

When Master said these things to me, I always felt sour in my heart. My master is now over seventy years old, and I also know that when my master was damaged by the Yang God in his early years, he was also affected to a certain extent along with Shouyuan.

Uncle Xia also said that my master can live to this age, it is already God's eyes, in the past, when Uncle Xia talked about these things, I never took it to heart, but now that my master said these words, I suddenly had a very bad premonition, as if Master was about to leave me soon.

I watched Master walk with an unusually vigorous pace, as if it was exactly the same as when I first met him, and I comforted myself in my heart, maybe Master was just talking, I was thinking too much about myself.

At that time, I really couldn't imagine what my life would be like if Master really left me one day.

At this time, my master had already pushed open the stone gate and led us into the underground treasure house of Mendingjiao City.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a treasure house, here, there are all kinds of magic weapons and spiritual objects that have been hoarded for two thousand years, in this underground cave that is enough to accommodate thousands of people, there are more than 50 treasure shelves made of white marble, almost every treasure shelf is full of things, and in the four corners of the cave there are several boxes with a large capacity, and each box is pasted with talismans.

I was more than ten meters away from those boxes, and I could feel the breathtaking and intense aura emanating from them.

My master led us along the aisle between the treasure shelves, looking at the things on the shelves from time to time, talking to ourselves from time to time, and shaking our heads from time to time.

While walking like this, Master said to me distractedly, "Every time we go to a small market, we have to prepare the same kind of goods that we can get our hands on, and when we go to a big market, we have to prepare three things. The things in this warehouse are all kept for the record with your Uncle Xia, and if you have time in the future, ask you if Uncle Xia wants to come to the record to take a look. It shows where these things came from, when they were aged, and how they cost approximately. ”

As I was talking, I saw Master pick up a pebble-like thing from the treasure shelf, which was originally pure black, but when Master hit the light of the flashlight on it, I saw that it was shining in seven different colors.

The master put it into a snakeskin bag, handed the bag to me, and said to me: "This seven-colored relic was left by a senior monk during the Western Jin Dynasty, when Master Xuanzang had not yet traveled west, and the scriptures introduced into Middle-earth were very limited. This relic is also of great significance to many contemporary monks. ”

As soon as I heard the word "Xuanzang", I immediately became interested, and asked my master: "Is everything said in Journey to the West true?" ”

My master glanced back at me: "Of course it's fake, you have time to read more history books, and you have to ask about this kind of thing!" ”

Then the Master went to the corner of the treasure house and opened one of the chests, and I saw that there was only a turquoise clay jar in the chest, and the jar looked crooked, and there were some small holes in the altar surface, and the workmanship was very rough at first glance.

At this time, my master put on a snakeskin glove and carefully took it out, while saying to me, "This Gu Refining Cup, I bought it from a Miao Jiang Gu Master a few years ago, and their vein can be regarded as the most prosperous vein among Miao Jiang Gu Masters six hundred years ago. But now, many of the inheritances have been broken. It's a shame to say. ”

When Master spoke, I subconsciously wanted to touch the jar with my hands.

My master kicked my hand away and yelled at me, "You kid, stupid! This thing is poisonous! ”

Isn't it just a broken jar, and it's still poisonous!

I felt strange in my heart, how could my master take out such a poison, is it planning to sell it? But would anyone buy this kind of thing?

My master didn't pay any attention to me, walked to another box, took out a long and very torn white cloth from it, and then shook his head, and said to himself: "The people from Nanyang didn't come this year, and this shroud can't be sold if you want to, so forget it." With that, he put it back in and locked the box.

My master stood in front of the chest, pondered for a while, and as if suddenly remembered something, he ran to the last shelf of the treasure house with a gust of wind, and took a gilt box from it.

Liang Houzai and I were curious, and we also ran over to look, and saw my master open the lid of the box, which contained some bright red fine sand.

I don't know what the sand is for, but I found that when Liang Houzai saw the contents of the box, his eyes were glowing, and his expression at that time was like a wolf seeing meat, which startled me.

The master also noticed Liang Houzai's eyes, and said to him with a smile: "These dansha are going to be sold this year, but I can't give them to you." ”

But Liang Houzai clearly wanted that box of things, even if my master said so, he still stared intently, and when my master fastened the lid of the box, his eyes followed my master's hand.

Later, my master was also a little uncomfortable by him, sighed, and still stuffed the gilt box to Liang Houzai, and said: "Alas, I have saved bad luck in my life to raise you two wolf cubs." Save on it! ”

Liang Houzai hurriedly nodded at my master, and carefully put the box into his pocket.

After that, the master picked and picked through the treasure shelves for most of the day, and finally took down a small slender cloth bag from the top of one of the treasure shelves.

It contained a very simple brush, which was a thin bare bamboo pole with a pinch of long hair glued to the top.

There are brushes like this, which are sold at the entrance of the experimental primary school, and it seems to be five yuan a piece, and I bought one when I was in elementary school because I had to write calligraphy in the activity class. I have to say that such brushes are particularly not durable, do not absorb ink much, and are old and hairy.

But my master took the pen and shook it in front of my eyes, and said, "This Zihao is made from the thousand-year-old spirit bamboo of Xiaolongtan and the hairs of the five-hundred-year-old rabbit essence. It is said that this pen is still from the hand of Huang Hui, a famous pen maker in the Tang Dynasty, and looking at the whole world, there is only this one left like this brush. It's just that this thing is worth a fortune, and I don't know if there is a financier who can buy it this year. Forget it, if you love to buy it or not, that's it! ”

At that time, I was quite disdainful in my heart, and I felt that my master was bragging, such a broken pen, I couldn't see anything good anyway.

Master retrieved the snakeskin bag from me, put it together with the slender cloth bag containing the brush, and then said to me, "Come, while there is nothing to do now, I will pass the Tiangang Sword to you first." After that, he turned to Liang Houzai and said, "Houzai, go around here by yourself, and don't move the things in the box." ”

When my master said this, he was actually telling Liang Houzai that the Tiangang Sword involved a relatively deep inheritance of our lineage, and when Master taught me, he would avoid it.

Liang Houzai's mind spun quickly, and he quickly understood my master's intentions, nodded at my master, and ran behind the last row of treasure shelves.

Master took me to a relatively open position in the warehouse, handed me the Tiangang sword, and said to me: "Our vein of Tiangang swordsmanship, many places and you have practiced the Tiangang lock before, like Tiangang lock in addition to fast, very, accurate, but also pay attention to a strange word, Tiangang sword is the same, pay attention to surprising winning, the angle of the shot is often very tricky, but this tricky, is to be through long-term practice of the routine can be appreciated, you are now grinding the gun, you only need to remember one word, that is, 'fast'." In this way, you can use the green steel sword now to beat the routine of Tiangang Lock, come on. ”

I didn't hesitate, I opened the posture on the spot, ready to play the routine of Tiangang lock, in fact, Tiangang lock has high requirements for basic skills, but the routine is very simple, there are only a dozen actions before and after, but when I was ready to play the starting style, it was difficult.

The starting style of Tiangang lock is that the arms are hanging down, and the palms are turned back, but I am holding the green steel sword in my right hand, and if the palm of this hand is also turned back, the green steel sword is just pierced on my thigh.

I glanced at the green steel sword in my hand, and then at my master.

I saw my master looking at me with a smile and saying, "Why, I can't play the routine with an extra sword in my hand?" You kid, you had a very bright brain when you were a child, and after following me for a few years, why are you becoming more and more rigid? Don't stick to routines and forms, just do what you want. ”

Do you want to do whatever you want? Doesn't that mean that you can fight as much as I want?

So I followed Master's intentions, the Tiangang lock routine was beaten again, every time I felt that the Qinggang Sword might hurt myself, I would change my posture casually, and I felt that the whole routine was messed up by me, and what was more troublesome was that the Qinggang Sword was very heavy for me, although I didn't have much strength when I held it with both hands, but when I wanted to shake it with one hand, I obviously felt that my wrist was a little unbearable.

After playing the routine, the master didn't seem to be very satisfied, and asked me to fight again, at that time my wrist had already been slightly calculated, and when I threw the sword, the green steel sword almost flew out of my hand.

My master yelled at me, "Are you stupid? Can't hold it with one hand, can't you use two hands? ”

I only freed one hand to hold the Qinggang sword, and the routine of Tiangang lock was messed up by me, and now the master has asked me to change to two hands to hold it, so how can this routine be played?

But since the master said so, I can't go against him, so I can only use both hands to hold the hilt of the sword at the same time and swing it casually, only with footwork and waist, or according to the routine of Tiangang lock.
