Chapter 16: Apprenticeship (II)

"Feed the sword with blood?" Jiang Wu was stunned for a moment, but this was an emergency moment, he saw that the demon bat was about to pounce again at any time, so he gritted his teeth, stretched out his left arm, and swept towards the blade of the green sword.

The green sword was extremely sharp, and as soon as it made contact, it cut a long bloody hole on Jiang Wu's left arm, and immediately blood flowed onto the sword.

Strange to say, the blood did not flow along the sword body, but immediately seeped into the sword body, and the green sword immediately became bloody and glittering, and absorbed all the blood completely!

The demon bat pounced on Jiang Wu at this time, Jiang Wu endured the severe pain, shouted, pulled out the green sword, and slashed at the demon bat with a wave of the situation!

Before this sword came into contact with the demon bat, a blood-colored sword light flew out of the sword, slashed across the night sky several zhang away, and directly slashed at the demon bat.

The demon bat was suddenly slashed to the ground by the sword light, it let out a terrible scream, and one of the pairs of flesh wings had already been cut off by the sword light!

"Succeeded!" Jiang Chen was surprised and delighted, Jiang Wu couldn't believe that his sword was so powerful, and even the figure in the distance made a sound of surprise.

"Huh!" the figure whispered, "This kid is very interesting. ”

The injured demon bat struggled to get up, it didn't dare to attack Jiang Wu who was holding the green sword again, but staggered and flew towards the figure.

It had clearly chosen the wrong direction, and as soon as the figure raised its hand, a huge ball of fire poured out, enveloping the demon bat.

I don't know if the demon bat was injured and unable to resist, or the figure shot too suddenly, the demon bat didn't make any resistance, and was directly burned by the fire, and quickly turned into ashes in a terrible scream.

"What a powerful Dao method!" Jiang Chen exclaimed loudly. Previously, he and Jiang Wu used several Fire Dao Talismans, but they couldn't hurt the demon bat, this figure just waved his hand and directly burned the demon bat to ashes, it was too powerful!

He hurriedly rushed forward, tore off the strip of cloth, sprinkled some gold sore powder, and wrapped Jiang Wu's injured left arm around to stop the bleeding. After doing this, the two brothers walked forward, Jiang Wu held up the green sword with both hands, and said to the figure: "Thank you seniors for helping!"

"Very interesting!" the figure smiled, his knees slightly bent, and his body fell to the ground like a wild goose, and his movements were very dashing.

The figure fell in front of Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu, and it was a white-bearded old man with a smile on his face and a very kind look.

With a wave of the old man's robe, an invisible force lifted the green sword and sent it to the old man.

The old man gently touched the sword blade, looked at it carefully, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"You kid, where did you learn from, why did you practice the Tao so bad?" the old man asked Jiang Wu.

Jiang Wu replied respectfully: "The younger generation is just a method that I have pieced together from some ancient texts and the Middle East, and I have cultivated it by myself, and I have no teacher. ”

"It turns out that you practiced indiscriminately!" The old man nodded: "No wonder! You don't know how to use the Dao Method, and the Dao Sword you use is not right, and the method of using the Dao Talisman is even more ridiculous!"

"Isn't that how the Dao talisman is used?" Jiang Chen asked in a daze. "Ten Thousand Demon Spectrum" mentioned a kind of rune demon that is good at turning into a Dao rune, and by the way, it also mentions several ways to draw Dao runes, which is almost the only reference for the two brothers, and it is also the most commonly used means for them to "slay demons and eliminate demons".

"Of course not!" The old man smiled: "How can anyone make a Dao talisman temporarily, the so-called Dao talisman is to seal a certain spell and a certain amount of Dao Qi into the rune paper, and when you use it, you only need to activate the seal." If you draw talismans on the spot, of course, you will be in a hurry, which can give full play to the advantages of the debut talismans. ”

"Seal?" Jiang Chen heard this for the first time, and his heart was suddenly very excited, if it was really like what the old man said, prepare the Dao Talisman in advance, and as long as he used the Dao Talisman when facing the demons, wouldn't it be very convenient?

"Can the seniors pass on the method of sealing the Dao runes to me?" Jiang Chen asked tentatively.

The old man smiled but did not answer, neither agreed nor immediately refused.

He asked Jiang Wu, "How long have you been cultivating?"

"It's been six or seven years. Jiang Wu replied respectfully.

"It's been such a long time!" the old man shook his head again and again, and said with a smile: "It's a pity, with your qualifications, you can cultivate the Tao in three months and become a Taoist disciple, but now it has taken six or seven years, and you have only just started!"

Jiang Chen heard that there was a lot of regret in the old man's tone, his heart moved, and he hurriedly bowed and said: "Our two brothers have the heart to cultivate, but they are suffering from the guidance of an unknown teacher, so they can't get started!

"Accept apprentices?" The old man smiled: "The old man's requirements for his disciples are extremely strict, can you two endure hardship?"

As soon as Jiang Chen heard that there was a play, he hurriedly said: "The younger generation is especially able to endure hardships! As long as the master has a life, go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, go to the soup and go to the fire, and stick a knife in both ribs......"

"Enough is enough!" the old man smiled and waved his hand, interrupting Jiang Chen's impassionedness, he said after a little silence: "There are thousands of avenues in the world, and everyone cultivates different ways, and the old man cultivates the way of the sword. Moreover, the old man's kendo is also different from other swordsmanship. If you want to worship the old man as a teacher, you must strictly follow the old man's sword path, and you have to nourish the sword with blood every day, which is very hard, you may persevere?"

"You have to nourish the sword with blood every day?" Jiang Chen was stunned: "Why do you want to do this?"

The old man restrained his smile and said: "The old man's sword is very special, the so-called Taoist method is natural, and the cultivation of the sword to a high depth must inevitably lead to the unity of human and sword." Raising the sword with blood every day is to lay the foundation for the unity of the human sword in the future. If you don't dare to cultivate such a sword way, the old man won't be reluctant!"

With that, the old man turned away, as if he was about to drift away at any moment.

If it were other Dao disciples, they might not agree to practice this somewhat strange way of swordsmanship, but Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu have always been instructed by an unknown teacher, and they cannot make progress in cultivation, and now they have finally met a master, and they have also seen the powerful divine channel method of the master, how can they miss it in vain!

"Seniors are slow!" Jiang Chen hurriedly bowed and said, "The juniors are willing to follow the teachings of the seniors, raise the sword with blood every day, and ask the seniors to accept the juniors as apprentices!"

"Ask the seniors to accept the apprentices!" Jiang Wu also respectfully followed.

The old man laughed and turned around: "Okay, cultivation pays attention to a fateful word." The old man can meet you in this remote and deep mountain, which is fate with you. What if you are accepted as apprentices! However, before the old man accepts apprentices, there are still three conditions. First, you must first explain your background and inherit the sect. ”

"Of course!" Jiang Chen replied: "Junior Jiang Chen, he is the biological brother of the younger generation Jiang Wu with the same father and mother. My two brothers have been determined to cultivate since they were young, and they also opened a Chenwu Taoist Hall in Yunlan Town, twenty miles away from here. The two juniors are both self-cultivators, very shallow, and they can't talk about the sect of teachers at all. ”

The old man nodded: "Judging from the Taoism of the two of you, it is indeed self-cultivation indiscriminately, well, there is no teacher, this is also a little more convenient." The second condition is that the two of you must keep the apprenticeship strictly confidential, and you must not mention it to anyone, and you must not tell anyone about the kendo taught by the old man, otherwise the old man will be severely punished for the crime of bullying the teacher and betraying the family!"

When the old man said this, his expression was solemn and very stern. Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu nodded again and again, and agreed: "Yes, the juniors strictly keep secrets and never spread them!"

"Very good!" the old man nodded with satisfaction, and said, "The last condition is to practice diligently, and you must not be lazy and slack. ”

"Yes!" Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu immediately agreed.

The old man smiled slightly: "Okay, then the old man will take you two as apprentices!"

"Thank you, Master!" Jiang Chen Jiang Wu was overjoyed, and immediately bowed respectfully, bowed nine times in a row, and bowed to the master.

The old man helped the two brothers up with his own hands and said, "For the master's sword, the quality of the sword is very important. The sword we cultivators use is not the same as the sword used by ordinary people. It must be a Dao sword that can infuse Taoist true qi. ”

Jiang Chen nodded secretly in his heart, he also understood this truth. This is like rune paper, you can't make a Dao talisman with ordinary paper at all, it must be a special rune paper infused with Taoist true qi.

The old man said to Jiang Wu: "The iron sword in your hand is too poor to be cultivated as a Dao sword at all. For the teacher to give you this little green sword, you raise the sword with blood every day, it is this little green sword that you raise, whether you can unite the human sword in the future, it depends on whether you can suffer from blood loss, whether you can always practice diligently. ”

As he spoke, the old man handed the green sword to Jiang Wu horizontally.

Jiang Wu was overjoyed and thanked him again and again. He had already tested the power of this sword, and it was so powerful that it could be called a sword. This master is really generous, and he even gave a sword as soon as he made a move.

The old man took out a very old animal skin book from his arms, he tore off a few pages of it, handed it to Jiang Wu, and said, "The basic sword technique and the method of raising the sword are now passed on to you by the teacher." A month later, still in this place, the teacher will check your cultivation progress. If you do follow the instructions of the master to do meticulous penance, the teacher will officially accept you as a disciple of the pro-tradition and pass on all the sword skills to you!"

Jiang Wu respectfully agreed and asked, "Master, can my brother also practice this sword technique?"

"As for you," the old man said to Jiang Chen, "You have almost no Dao Qi in your body, and it seems that your qualifications are not suitable for cultivation. You can also try to cultivate the basic sword technique, but you don't have to force it. If you fully assist Jiang Wu's cultivation, as a teacher, you will also pass on other exercises in the future. ”

"Yes, thank you, Master!" Jiang Chen sighed lightly in his heart, even a master like Master said that he was not suitable for cultivation, and it seemed that he was indeed not talented.

The old man said to Jiang Wu again: "You nourish your sword with blood every day, and you need some pills to replenish qi and blood, otherwise it won't last." There are no ready-made pills of this kind on the teacher. In this way, you accept this piece of Dao jade and go to Qingyun Peak Linglong Pavilion to buy some pills. ”

The old man handed Jiang Wu a piece of delicate and clear slap big cyan jade, and then said loudly: "Remember the teachings of the teacher! Keep it secret and practice diligently! As for the name of the teacher, I will tell you at the right time in the future." A month later, here and now, I will meet you again!"

After that, the old man's body was like a swallow, and he flew into the night sky in the wind, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. It is rumored that a Taoist with profound Taoism can fly to the sky, and it is not until today that Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu have witnessed it with their own eyes.

"Master is really a master!" Jiang Wu muttered, he gently stroked the green sword in his hand, and couldn't put it down.

"It seems that the luck of our brothers has arrived!" Jiang Chen was also very happy.

The two brothers delved into the few pages of basic sword techniques left by their master, and they couldn't sleep all night. Xiaobai lay beside Jiang Wu and continued to sleep soundly.
