Chapter XI

First apprentice!

————————————

After the battle of Houshan that he had not witnessed all night and a morning, Duanmu was still waiting at the Qingyan Sect Taoist Temple.

Last night, he and Duan Honglan spent the night in the tattered Taoist temple, and the kind-hearted Jiang Liu'er had not prepared a cover for them.

The two of them didn't dislike it too much, they sat on the bunk cover all night, woke up early the next day, opened their eyes and waited for Jiang Heng to come down the mountain.

But it was noon......

Still didn't see Jiang Heng come back.

Duanmu, who was anxiously apprenticing to his master, couldn't help but look at Jiang Liu'er, who was cleaning the Taoist temple.

In yesterday's battle, almost everything in the Taoist temple was destroyed and became more dilapidated, and Jiang Liu'er wasted a morning's effort before he could sweep half of it.

At this time, Duanmu, who had rested all morning, came over to ask Jiang Heng when he would come down, and Jiang Liu'er just shook his head.

After all, he didn't know when this guy would come back.

To be exact, they've only known each other for a few days...... From becoming the head of the house in a daze to being his own senior brother, all this is like an unexpected dream.

But when he saw Jiang Heng's strength that was comparable to that of his mad master, he realized that this was not just a simple accident......

What would that be???

He subconsciously looked in the direction of the back mountain.

Finally put down the broom and headed towards the back mountain.....

At this moment, on the cliff of the back mountain, facing the rock wall, Jiang Heng sat there quietly, from yesterday until now.

He seems to be sitting quietly, but his face is covered with sweat.

Suddenly he opened his eyes, and he gasped violently, giving out a sense of sleepiness.

A cloud of black gas flew out of the black rope and floated to Jiang Heng: "Five hundred and twenty-three times!"

The old ghost's voice sounded: "The kid is tenacious enough! I didn't expect you to have a talent that you can't forget! I just watched it once, and I learned the swordsmanship of that madman from it! It's a pity that the qualifications are too poor, otherwise, why do you need to practice five hundred and twenty-three times to master it!"

It turned out that after the battle between the old ghost and the madman ended yesterday, Jiang Heng, who had witnessed the battle marks on the rock wall, had a flash of inspiration in his heart, and unconsciously realized something from the traces of the battle and the martial arts and moves used by the old ghost and the madman during the battle!

Then he hovered on the ground and continued to delve into this feeling of comprehension.

Fortunately, he Jiang Heng has a talent that he will never forget, although he only watched it once, he memorized all the moves used by the two guys.

However, in this world, there is a difference between talent and aptitude.

As the old cultivator before that said, Jiang Heng's qualifications were indeed average. This is fatal for the cultivators of the Terran race.

Because a person's lifespan is already short, if they have average qualifications, their cultivation speed will inevitably be slower than that of ordinary people.

Cultivation is a race against time to reach another state before the finish line.

Therefore, when the sects here select talents, they naturally choose those with excellent qualifications. Because it's fast, it's fast.

After all, the rise and fall of a sect requires batches of fresh blood injection, and if the blood injection is slow, it will naturally be overtaken by the rest of the sects in the same period.

Therefore, qualifications have become a prerequisite for entering the sect's cultivation.

And the so-called talent, just like Jiang Heng, has the ability to never forget, and can even open up a higher realm from this talent. That is, after seeing the opponent's moves, not only can you write them down, but you can also quickly understand them...... It's just that because of the qualifications, the speed of cultivation is slow.

Jiang Heng wasted a night and a morning, and practiced the madman's swordsmanship and the old ghost's moves to deal with the madman.

It's barely mastered......

After a short break, Jiang Heng said: "If the qualifications are not tight, I am afraid of lack of perseverance!"

Immediately after that, he began to practice the tricks he had memorized, because for him, barely mastering this standard, absolutely not, he Jiang Heng had to sit to the point of comprehension. 500 times is not enough! 1,000 times! 1,000 times is not enough!

Seeing Jiang Heng like this, the old ghost also spoke out from time to time to correct Jiang Heng's mistakes in practice and give him advice.

Finally, at ten o'clock at noon, Jiang Heng was exhausted from practice, and the old ghost also said with satisfaction: "It's okay! This madman's swordsmanship should only be half, but it can be regarded as half a martial art! With these two and a half martial arts in your body, you can add exercises to supplement your cultivation in the future...... It's enough for you to defend yourself!"

Two masters, two and a half martial arts, it is only enough for self-defense.

The ghost king is the ghost king! Vision is not something that a junior like himself can achieve......

......

There was a sound of footsteps, Jiang Heng turned to look, and wiped the sweat on his face by the way.

The person who came was Jiang Liu'er, Jiang Heng beckoned, "You are here." ”

Jiang Liu'er stepped forward: "Senior brother, you ......"

"Don't ask too much......," Jiang Heng interrupted, "Since I am now your senior brother, he will be my master...... I assure you that you will be well protected...... As for what I'm going to do......"

Both of them knew what the other was thinking.

After all, last night, Jiang Heng showed strength, saying that Jiang Liu'er was not worried, it was impossible.

He only had his master's safety in mind, so he had to be vigilant.

But when Jiang Heng said his assurance, he looked at this guy who came to Sunset Peak inexplicably and unexpectedly became the head of the Qingyan faction.

Why is there a feeling of being destined to be in it?

It was as if God had taken pity on their master and apprentice, and sent Jiang Heng to help them - to carry forward the sect.

It's not like he hasn't had such a big dream. But the road ahead is so difficult and dangerous, and he has no choice, so in ten years, he can only suffer this humiliation.

Until this Jiang Heng appeared......

Until now, Jiang Liu'er still remembers Jiang Heng's limping figure walking to the door of the Taoist temple and announcing that he became the head of the temple The scene still appears in front of him.

Jiang Liu'er smiled, a bland, a quiet smile.

He asked Jiang Heng: "I just came here to ask...... Brother, are you hungry, do you want to eat something, I'll make it for you!"

Jiang Heng followed with a smile: "Just pick some fruits!"

"Okay!"

Seeing Jiang Liu'er leave......

Jiang Heng always felt that this child was the same as himself three years ago, and there was always a pitiful figure behind him.

Even the old ghost couldn't help but speak: "This doll is kind-hearted, and she is a good person in her bones! It won't be bad for you, the most important thing is that you two get along very well!"

He understood what the old ghost meant.

If he, Jiang Heng, wants to establish his own power, he needs to be loyal to his subordinates.

It is indeed feasible to rely on the means of old ghosts to make them ghost servants, but ...... Jiang Heng needs more than just this kind of subordinate, he needs a partner who is truly close to each other and trusts each other.

Jiang Heng then mentioned another thing: "The phantom from before seems to have reappeared!"

The old ghost replied, "This king has seen it." ”

Jiang Heng: "I'm curious about what that phantom will be, I always feel that the phantom will bring me a bigger surprise!"

......

Finally, after noon, Jiang Heng returned to the Taoist temple.

Seeing Duanmu limping again, he was no longer the contemptuous look he had before, but a look of reverence, reverence for the strong.

Holding a thick branch, Jiang Heng, who had not yet walked to Duanmu, saw that the girl who was far away had already knelt down.

Respectfully bowed to himself: "I have seen Master!"

Jiang Heng did not refuse, his original intention was to accept this apprentice.

Now that she kneels down in the knowledge of current affairs, she naturally no longer needs any means.

Just solemnly confirmed again: "I'll ask you again, but are you sure you want to join the Qingyan faction and worship me as a teacher?"

Duanmu said firmly, "Yes, Master!"

"From today on, you are my Jiang Heng's first disciple!" Jiang Heng turned to look at Duan Honglan: "What about you?"

Duan Honglan saluted Jiang Heng and said: "The little girl came this time to escort the young lady to the Qingyan Ancient Sect smoothly, and now that the young lady has arrived at the senior, you are here, I should also go back to the head of the family to give my life!"

"Hmm!"

Jiang Heng looked at Duan Honglan: I didn't expect this maid to be a loyal servant. Or, the strength that Lao Tzu is showing now has not yet deterred her?

If you can't keep it, you won't keep it...... Anyway, her target is just Duanmu.

Then the opposite Duan Honglan said: "Then you can leave now!"

"This ......"

Duan Honglan looked at Duanmu on the side hesitantly, and Jiang Heng immediately signaled to Duanmu: "You can go and send her! Come back as soon as possible, I still have some important things to tell you!"

"Yes, Master!"

Duanmu got up and immediately went down the mountain with Duanhonglan.

At the foot of the mountain......

Duan Honglan advised: "Miss, it's better to be cautious about staying here." After all......"

Although the two are master and servant, they are like sisters. Duan Honglan cared about herself from the bottom of her heart, and Duanmu naturally felt it: "I know! You have to be careful on the way back!"

After seeing Duan Honglan leave, Duanmu turned around and returned to Sunset Peak, but after she went up the mountain with her front feet, a black shadow appeared in place, staring at the direction in which Duan Honglan left.

A cold voice: "You can't just let this woman go back!"

Another cold said: "I don't mind having one more female ghost servant!"

The black shadow then went in the direction of Duan Honglan......

......

When Duanmu returned to the Taoist temple, Jiang Heng was sitting on the steps in front of the Taoist temple.

Duanmu was about to step forward to give a salute, Jiang Heng waved his hand: "There is no need for so many etiquettes here!"

Duanmu stood up straight and looked at Jiang Heng, at this moment, Jiang Heng had completely lost the powerful aura he had before, and had once again become the weak and lame state he saw at the beginning.

Jiang Heng saw her thoughts, and he had already prepared his words:

"Now I'll tell you frankly that my old boss and I were both seriously injured. He has become a madman, and I have become a cripple! Just now, in order to prove my strength to you, after a battle, my cultivation will temporarily turn into nothingness. But you don't have to worry, although I can't recover my cultivation for the time being, what I have learned is still there, as long as you are faithful to me, I will teach it carefully!"

Duanmu hurriedly knelt down and thanked him: "Thank you, Master!"

Jiang Heng stretched out his hand and waved, and the two scrolls flew into Duanmu's hands.

This is the introductory technique of the Qingyan Ancient School obtained from Fan Linfeng, as well as the entry-level light wind sword technique.

"This is the basic technique and swordsmanship of this sect, you take it to practice first! I will give you more powerful ones in the future!" Jiang Heng waved his hand at Duanmu: "Go down and find a place to live by yourself!"

"Yes......"

Duanmu got up and looked at the other place in front of him besides this broken Taoist temple, is there any other place to live?

......

Apparently not......
