The next morning, after breakfast, in the old prince's study, a man with bruises in the corners of his eyes was enjoying the back massage of the prince of the palace.

The old prince sat at the table to deal with government affairs, and the old man already knew about what Zhang Xinnan was beaten last night. I couldn't help but admire my son's courage in my heart, and I didn't forget to make fun of it.

But the boy was inevitably a little depressed. Good royal guests, don't take a good road, you have to climb high, and everyone will treat you as a thief with bad intentions. Besides, it's not you who brag and say that you haven't lost a fight.

After Zhang Xinnan had eaten delicious wine and food last night, he wanted to take a comfortable hot bath and then go to bed. But after thinking about it, he would inevitably have to teach a few high-grade swordsmanship to a kid in the future, so he thought about seeing how his roots were first, and if he was a failure, there was no need to take it seriously. sheet

Xin Nan has a side method similar to the countryside remedies, which can roughly estimate a person's talent in kendo by observing the operation of both sword intent and sword qi in his body when the sword cultivator is asleep.

In the sixteen roads of Daxu Southern Xinjiang, there is a world-renowned young sword cultivator, the world does not know his name, only this person's surname is Liu. This person once understood the way of the sword, sat quietly on the cliff for a jiazi, ate and drank dew, realized the Tao from the clouds and clouds, and was able to break the barriers of the ten realms. Later, in the middle of the micro-end, the water in the stream was observed to comprehend the sword intent of Qingming.

Walking the rivers and lakes, this person hangs two swords on his waist, and the name of one sword is "meditation", which is taken from the Taoist meaning of quiet and inaction. Another sword name is called "Siqi", which is taken from the meaning of Confucianism. Whenever I ask someone to ask for a sword fight, only the sword of meditation is out, and since the realization of the Qingming sword intent, there are few defeats. The world says that he is extremely talented, and the way of the sword is expected to "cross the mountains and mountains", thus becoming the first person in the past thousand years to successfully climb the mountain in the heart of the sword cultivator.

This person is a later coincidence of meeting the Confucian sub-sage, the reader looked at his sword intent, and once praised it for his hope that "there is no one to come", but because of this, the sword intent of the person is really magnificent, and there are few people in the world who can compare with the sword cultivation.

Zhang Xinnan once secretly used this method to watch this genius sword cultivator in the world's mouth from afar. It's really not bad, the foundation of kendo is very strong, and the foundation is especially important for cultivation like building a house. The road is also very stable, not impatient, down-to-earth, step by step to walk their own broad road.

Even though the sword cultivation talent in the world is extremely talented, it is only good in Zhang Xinnan's eyes. And although this person's kendo has a solid foundation and his path is relatively stable, this is precisely where his drawbacks lie. The feeling of premature decay is especially heavy in this person, a Ten Realm Sword Cultivator who is only two hundred years old, why has he lost his vitality.

After that, if you still have this state of mind, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make progress, and in the future, it is inevitable that you will have to embark on a path that is greater than the way, which can be regarded as a bit of a deviation from the original path. As for whether he can really become the first person to climb that sword mountain in the past thousand years, as the world says, it is still unknown, and there are many variables.

Zhang Xinnan originally wanted to take advantage of the young man's sleep and take this opportunity to take a general look, at least he had to know a little bit about this young man who was about to become his disciple.

Listening to Zhang Yunzhi's tone, the young man's talent seems to be not bad. But who would have thought that not only did he not see the talent of kendo, but also heard something that should not be heard, men and women, Yingying Yanyan, Zhang Xinnan couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body when he thought of this. And the most annoying thing is that in the end, he even took an old punch from this kid.

The old prince smiled and said, "Xuan'er, this gentleman will teach you swordsmanship in the future." ”

Zhang Xinnan glanced at the young man angrily.

Zhang Linxuan walked up to Zhang Xinnan and said, "Disciple Zhang Linxuan has seen Mr. Dare to ask the gentleman by his name. ”

Zhang Xinnan suddenly raised his hand to block the young man's gesture, and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to call the word sir, whether you accept it or not, you can say it again." Even if you really worship me as a teacher in the future, then you don't need the word sir, I am very disgusted with the set of etiquette rules customized by Confucianism in later generations, it is very troublesome, don't call me Mr. in the future, if you really save that master and apprentice filial piety, just bring wine. ”

Zhang Linxuan's eyes lit up, and there is one thing I have to say, it is really in line with the character of a teenager.

"And my surname is Zhang, Zhang Xinnan. ”

Zhang Xinnan: Where did the boy seem to have heard of this name, but who had told him about it? The boy couldn't remember it, but he couldn't tell if it was the same name and surname.

"Alright, the greetings are over, let me see how your swordsmanship is. ”

For the time being, the two of them, who are not considered masters and apprentices, left the old prince's study together and went to Zhang Linxuan's Fanghuai Liuxu.

Zhang Xinnan asked the boy to bring his own sword, saying that he was preparing to take the school juvenile swordsmanship. When the boy went to get the sword, Zhang Xinnan was wandering around the courtyard alone, and suddenly sat on a bluestone near the small pond in the courtyard, crossed Erlang's legs, put one arm on his knee, and put his face with his hand, and then laughed softly: "Girl, haven't you seen enough?"

Qiu Huang walked out after the door of the house, and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, dare to ask who you are?"

"For the time being, it's that stinky boy's swordsmanship teacher. ”

Qiu Huang Waner smiled and bowed down, "It turned out to be Mr. Gongzi, Qiu Huang has a lot of rudeness, and I hope Mr. will forgive me." ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

Qiu Huang bowed slightly, turned around and left.

Zhang Xinnan suddenly played with a sword aura in his palm, and smiled without raising his head: "Are you familiar?"

Qiu Huang frowned slightly, turned around, and smiled as usual: "Sir, are you talking to me?"

Zhang Xinnan didn't care about the woman's carefulness, squinted and smiled: "Since you choose to pretend to be stupid, it's best to pretend for a lifetime." ”

"How can the gentleman say something that the little woman doesn't understand?"

"It's okay, I don't understand it now, and it's the same when I understand it in the future. Zhang Xinnan said with a smile.

"I didn't understand it, but I thank you for your advice. Qiu Huang smiled as usual.

"Don't hold everything in your heart, just say what you have to say. Sometimes it's good to talk about it, such as yelling and things like that, in short, don't let yourself be wronged. Zhang Xinnan quipped, the truth is indeed such a short answer, but as for whether others will think of something else from this, I can't say. In the study, there are still a lot of outstanding students who can draw inferences.

Qiu Huang put away his smiling face and stared at Zhang Xinnan with cold eyes.

Zhang Xinnan smiled apologetically and said, "There are some things that are really not intentional. The master always has to come to see what the apprentice's qualifications are, who knows that it just happened to catch up with the good time of the apprentice before the moon. Then again. Although it was an unintentional mistake, I had to apologize to the girl, and I really didn't want to listen to the corner on purpose. ”

Qiu Huang actually felt a little strange at that time, someone visited, but it disappeared in an instant, and the children's warmth was right in front of him, where did he have the mind to take care of other things, and he would not be so imprudent as usual, and he didn't know why he was dizzy yesterday.

"It's normal for young people to be honest with me. Zhang Xinnan said with a smile.

Qiu Huang gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, please respect yourself." ”

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business. Listen to the fortune teller, he gave you a chess book?" Zhang Xinnan said seriously.

Qiu Huang nodded.

"The Thatched Cottage Collection is the only book that the guy has written by himself in his life, and the content is average, but it's still worth a look. In addition to those obscure Taoist powers, he has the greatest ability to play chess. Let me remind you that his things do benefit a lot, but they are not for nothing. I'll give you something as a means of self-defense in the future. Zhang Xinnan's middle finger and thumb were twisted together, facing Qiu Huang's eyebrows, and with a flick, a small wisp of sword qi was like a gossamer, slowly sinking into Qiu Huang's forehead.

"Send me something for no reason? Sir's things, I'm afraid they won't be in vain, right?"

"Of course not, I have the conditions. Zhang Xinnan smiled.

Qiu Huang frowned and said, "I may not agree to Mr.'s conditions. ”

Zhang Xinnan was a little disappointed, and seemed to be a little aggrieved, and asked weakly: "How can I say that I am also your son-in-law's master, even if it is not one, half of it is always okay." In the future, you two have children, can't you let me see it? To be honest, I like kids very much. ”

Qiu Huang was helpless and a little embarrassed at the same time, speechless.

Zhang Xinnan said with satisfaction: "It seems that there is a discussion. ”

Qiu Huang didn't have time to ask, "Are you him?"

"Who? I am me, Zhang Xinnan's Zhang, thriving Xin, Nanmu's Nan. Zhang Xinnan said with a smile.

"You protected the Divine Phoenix City back then?"

Zhang Xinnan smiled, but did not speak.

Some things have long been buried under the thick soil of yellow sand, so why bother and argue, everything should be looked forward.

Qiu Huang smiled, but his smile was a little bleak.

"Girl, don't always dwell on the past, remember to live well. Zhang Xinnan smiled warmly.

The corners of Qiu Huang's eyes were moist, he stood in place, and choked up: "It's really you." ”

A certain day, a certain month, and a certain year.

There was once a man standing alone in the bed of a "special" large river, fighting his sword to drive the water and swim upstream.

Zhang Linxuan, who went to a room behind Fanghuai Liuxu to get a sword, hesitated for a long time, and finally chose the crimson long sword hidden in the black scabbard as his saber.

Seeing that the young man came back after a long time, Zhang Xinnan couldn't hold back and scolded: "Stinky boy, you are too inkblot, let you take a sword, so grinding." ”

Zhang Linxuan smiled and didn't speak.

Zhang Xinnan took the long sword in the young man's hand, slowly pulled the sword out of the sheath, stared at the word evil on the sword, pondered for a long time, and then couldn't help but admire, and said with some regret: "It is indeed a good sword, but it is a pity that I followed the wrong master." ”

The young man didn't speak, and Zhang Xinnan didn't bother to continue to ridicule him, so he directly held the long sword and slashed towards the rockery in the distance.

Zhang Xinnan nailed the sword to the ground, clapped his hands, and said lightly: "Let's practice." ”

The boy was really puzzled, was this to let himself practice how to swing the sword?

Qiu Huang, who was standing on the side, seemed to understand Fang Cai's sword, and looked intently, only to see that the rockery had been torn apart, but it had not yet been broken.

Qiu Huang winked at the young man, the two of them had a heart, and the young man also looked intently and saw the strangeness in it. But isn't this a bit simple? If you just split the stone with your sword and don't break it apart, the boy can do it from the day he raised the sword.

Zhang Xinnan, who had walked a distance, suddenly turned his head and said with a smile: "It's not a blind eye, please take a closer look at that sword." Oh. By the way, you will practice with a bamboo sword in a while. ”

Zhang Xinnan left the courtyard leisurely and went to drink.

The boy stood still, very puzzled.

The sword?

Zhang Linxuan suddenly found that the long sword was trembling slightly, and there was an extremely strong afterglow of sword qi in the sword body.

The boy suddenly realized.

Hide the qi in the sword, attack but not attack.
