Chapter 707: Master, You'll Take Me as an Apprentice, Master
Xu Changqing's arrival undoubtedly brought a ray of light to the entire town.
But no matter what, as the strongest combat power in Shushan and the head of Shushan, it is impossible for Xu Changqing to stay in this kind of place forever.
So, while the threat of this wolf demon had just dissipated and the fear had not completely disappeared from everyone's minds, Zhang Chen secretly used some means, and that night, he took a group of children to apprentice.
Many disciples of Shushan are more or less surprised and surprised that this group of children are so obsessed with apprenticeship in Shushan.
But there is also some confusion in my heart.
"If you don't want me, I'll find someone else to ask for me, and if others don't want me, I'll find someone more powerful than you" They may not have never seen this way of thinking, but when this kind of thing appears in a group of children, it is a puzzling thing.
But in any case, a group of children, no matter what, there is no problem - they don't believe that those big demons will hide among the children, and the slightly weaker ones will naturally not be able to escape their spells.
So, that night, Zhang Chen finally accompanied a group of children and ran in front of Xu Changqing at close range.
Maybe it's because the master just died, and because of these messy troubles, Xu Changqing's face is really not very good-looking, but for this group of children, he is quite considerate.
"Children, I know that you want to learn the Shushan Sword Technique to eliminate demons and defend the way so that you can protect yourself and your family. However, cultivating one is not as simple as you imagined, if you spend too much time and energy on this Sword Immortal One, and in the end you will achieve nothing, won't it delay your future? Xu Changqing said.
But what does a group of children know?
Things like the future are still far away from them. The fear of the outside world in my heart, as well as the shock caused to them by the disciples of Shushan these days, coupled with Zhang Chen's little provocation, the children have long wanted to go to Shushan, so persuasive. How did it work?
Xu Changqing looked at the determined expressions of this group of children, and naturally knew that it was useless to rely on this mouth alone.
So, he pulled one of his disciples out and asked the children, "Do you know how old he is?" ”
The children looked up, but saw that this person had a thin beard, and seemed to be middle-aged, so they said some numbers. Most of them are "forty-five", "forty" and the like, all around forty, and absolutely no one says a number more than fifty.
Xu Changqing waited quietly for them to finish, and immediately smiled, "You all guessed wrong, in fact, he is eighty-six years old!" ”
The children's eyes widened in surprise, and they only listened to Xu Changqing's words. "This senior brother started much earlier than me, and his qualifications are not very bad in Shushan. But even so, when he was in his eighties, he barely reached this realm, if there were no accidents, if he really had the strength of the wolf demon you saw, I am afraid it would take about fifty years...... That's it. At that time, he was already one hundred and thirty years old! ”
A cry of surprise suddenly came out of the children's mouths.
"One hundred and thirty years old, isn't that an old grandfather?"
"The longest-lived grandfather of the Li family in the town lived to be ninety-nine years old!"
"When you are one hundred and thirty years old, does Uncle Sword Immortal still look like this? That's amazing! ”
"Do you think I want to sue you, can the sword immortal prolong his life?" Xu Changqing smiled and shook his head. "What I want you to know is that if your qualifications don't reach such a level that no one can match, then cultivation will be half the effort, and if your qualifications are average, maybe when you are a hundred years old or more than two hundred years old, you may not be able to cultivate Xiaocheng! Think about it, when you can exert the power of the sword in your hand, but you are already a grandfather who is more than a hundred years old, and you can't even stand up straight, what is the point? ”
"So, what about our qualifications?" Suddenly, a child asked.
"There will be only one person who can become a sword immortal out of 10,000!" Xu Changqing said with a smile.
This sentence is obviously telling this group of children that their qualifications are not good - in fact, Shushan itself also has a set of methods for identifying qualifications, if there is really any qualification against the sky, I am afraid that those Shushan disciples have already asked Xu Changqing to come over.
However, it is a pity that Xu Changqing's words are not understood by a group of children.
Of course, this time they finally learned to think, and one after another frowned and thought about it.
Zhang Chen was suddenly anxious.
What would he do if this group of imps retreated?
If he wants qualifications, even if he is a peerless genius qualification that is rare in 10,000 years, it is not a problem. But when he first entered the city, he didn't think about showing his qualifications, and if it was suddenly and inexplicably displayed at this time, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.
If you want to let Xu Changqing see his qualifications in a harmonious way, you must have an opportunity to show it!
"So, can you test whether we are one in a million?" Zhang Chen suddenly raised his head and said proudly.
His appearance is like a teenager who is full of strong confidence in his romantic feelings, and his excellent acting skills make his eyes appear unusually sincere and pure, and for a while, it makes Xu Changqing, who looks at him directly, feel that he can't refuse.
Fortunately, it is not a difficult thing to test qualifications or something, Xu Changqing thought about it for a while, and then agreed with Zhang Chen's suggestion.
Walking to the square of the small city, everyone gathered in a circle, Xu Changqing asked a disciple for a sword, held it in his hand, and said with a smile, "Stay for a while, you come up one by one, and gently hold this sword." I give you a mantra to recite silently in your hearts, and if you can light this sword within a hundred meditations, it means that you are qualified. ”
As he spoke, he shook the sword slightly, and sure enough, the white sword light shrouded it, and the sword was easily lit.
The children couldn't help but applaud, and soon someone stepped forward and started their first attempt.
Xu Changqing hoped that Zhang Chen would take the initiative to step forward, after all, everyone else was thinking, and Zhang Chen's appearance really made him a little curious.
However, Zhang Chen wanted to see the effect of these children, and naturally, he hid behind.
And he also has some mischievous thoughts, wanting to use himself as the finale, of course, he doesn't take the initiative to come forward without saying anything.
The mantra passed down by Xu Changqing is very short, but it is just a small sentence, and I am afraid that the interception is still the simplest one of the swordsmanship formulas in Shushan, which is revealed, and there is nothing to care about.
In just one sentence, although it seemed a little awkward for the children at first, after a few times, the speed of this silent recitation gradually increased.
However, this qualification test will naturally not be a simple "fighting spirit, three sections" general measurement, children's concentration when reciting the mantra, whether they can concentrate in this mantra, whether they can subconsciously mobilize the true qi in the body, whether they can give birth to some insights from this mantra, etc., many test schools, in fact, are in this mantra.
And for most people, this kind of measurement is naturally not possible.
In a short period of time, there were already more than a dozen children who were defeated in frustration, and the low momentum made the originally very active scene look a little lifeless.
Zhang Chen didn't want to play so quickly, but at this point, he couldn't wait.
He walked forward quickly, took the sword with a confident face, and immediately, slowly put himself into his mind, silently recited the mantra, and then suppressed his strength!
No way, although he doesn't understand this mantra, but he has learned a lot of swordsmanship in Shushan, and he has already known the approximate operation method of this mantra, the huge internal force, and the powerful sword path in the thousands of avenues in his mind works together, if he doesn't control zhì, I'm afraid he doesn't need to finish reciting this mantra, and there can already be a hundred zhang sword bursting out of it!
His eyes were closed, and his face was confident at first, but when he had waited for almost twenty times, his face became anxious, and when he waited for about forty times, he suddenly took on a serene look.
And when it was almost fifty times, Zhang Chen felt that the time was about the same, so he carefully released a little internal force, and suddenly, a faint light emanated from the sword body!
Xu Changqing's eyes lit up, but he never thought that among this group of children, there were unexpectedly people who were suitable for cultivation!
He didn't suspect anything, after all, spells always fail, even if Zhang Chen was not clearly found out of his qualifications for one reason or another, it was not a strange thing.
Zhang Chen didn't know Xu Changqing's thoughts, he was in line with the intention of doing the show to the end, and expanded the internal force little by little, with the increase of time, this sword light became more and more intense, and by the time it was over a hundred times, it was already one-third stronger than Xu Changqing's sword light!
He put away his internal strength, slowly opened his eyes, showed a confused look on his face, looked at Xu Changqing curiously, and suddenly looked a little timid, "I, is it okay?" ”
"If you really want to, then Shushan is your home!" Xu Changqing would not let go of a talent and slipped away in vain, and immediately said with a smile.
Zhang Chen turned to show a confident smile, and without saying a word, he saluted Xu Changqing, "Apprentice to meet Master!" ”
His idea is very clear, whether you mean it or not, you are a backer, I'll post it first! (To be continued......)
