Boyan continued: "My fire is greedy for a knife, I am an outlier in martial arts, and I am a family of my own. My master is a man from outside the world, and he has only accepted one apprentice from me in his life, and he once said to me that if he meets a suitable successor in the future, he must pass on this set of sword techniques and don't cut off the inheritance from me. It's a pity that I've been busy with military affairs and haven't been able to find a successor. I see that your Jiuyang magic skills are great and strong, and your understanding is also good, and you should be the successor of my sword technique. It's just that you have worshiped Mr. San Yisheng as a teacher, although I can teach you sword skills, you can't call me master, we are still called superiors and subordinates. ”

Wang Yangming didn't want Bo Yan Lei to fall to this point, but he was a little embarrassed: "If you pass on my sword skills, I should worship you as a teacher, or if I return to Master Yuming in Chang'an, after obtaining his consent, I will also worship you as a teacher, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds." ”

Boyan waved his hand: "People who learn martial arts, where do you want to be so fancy." When we get to the inn tonight, I'll teach you this set of knife techniques. The matter of apprenticeship should not be mentioned again. If you don't want to go, give me 1,000 taels of silver as tuition. ”

Wang Yangming is righteous and strict: "If you don't want money, you want to die, and you won't give your mother!"

That night, several people settled in the post house, and Boyan called Wang Yangming to the courtyard and instructed the post riders not to come and disturb them. He is the general of the fourth grade, where do those post guards dare to disobey his will. Boyan changed into civilian clothes, and when he saw that Wang Yangming was also wearing civilian clothes, he ordered him to stand up, and said: "The fire greedy knife is difficult to learn, and it is easy to find a good successor, because the power of this set of knife techniques is all in the internal force." This set of martial arts, requires the internal force to accumulate must be extremely deep, and then with great perseverance, the internal force is compressed and heated, at this time the internal force is as hot as fire, and this internal force must be transported to the knife in an instant, and the knife hurts others, otherwise the internal force remains in his body, and he will first burn his meridians and internal organs, but harm himself. ”

Wang Yangming understood that he had no meridians in his body, so he didn't need to consider the hidden danger of burning the meridians, but even the viscera would be burned, which really had to be prevented.

Boyan said: "I have long intended to pass on this set of sword techniques to you, because the Jiuyang Divine Skill you have practiced is itself a pure internal skill of masculine all the way, and your meridians and bones have already adapted to the high temperature environment, and for you, the danger of the fire and greed knife is much smaller." ”

At that moment, Boyan said that he was talking about the method of using internal force. Wang Yangming did as he was told, and soon learned the trick. Boyan saw that the method of internal force had been taught, and began to teach him the moves of the knife technique, there are twelve types of this fire and greed knife, each style has only one knife, and it is not complicated, respectively: the first appearance of fire, the spark of the plain, the flying fire of the sky, the fire clouds of the eight directions, the yin fire extinguishing the road, the greedy fire rushing, the dragon fire devouring the sky, the fire greed nine consecutive slashes, the fire greed void slash, the opening of the heavens of the great fire wheel, the fire planting golden lotus, the fire burning the city.

In the first eleven styles, Boyan demonstrated them one by one, and Wang Yangming also learned very smoothly, but when the twelfth type burned the city, Boyan stopped, Wang Yangming looked at him, and he didn't know why he stopped. Boyan sighed and said, "Fire is greedy, and I only learn these eleven forms." As for the twelfth type of burning the city, my master has not practiced it, and he can't teach me, but he told me that this style should burn all the internal force of the whole body, pour all of it into the knife, and slash out, and there will be fire within a radius of 100 meters, so it is called the burning of the city, but the internal force of the whole body is burning, how can the person who came out of the knife save his life? I have never been able to understand this joint, so I can't practice it. ”

Wang Yangming got the eleventh form of the fire greedy knife, and he was already very happy in his heart, and said: "The sky is not in the northwest, the earth is inclined to the southeast, and the heaven and earth are not complete. If the twelfth form is completed, it must no longer be a martial art that we mortals can practice. So the general does not have to be worried. ”

Boyan heard Wang Yangming speak, and only muttered and repeated: "Heaven and earth are not complete yet...... That's a good thing to say. It seems that the problem of the twelfth type of the fire greedy knife that he has been troubled for a long time has been solved lightly by this sentence.

Seeing that it was not early, Boyan ordered Wang Yangming to practice a few times of the eleven styles of the Fire Greedy Knife, and saw that he had already obtained the essence of it, but it was only a wonderful use, not something that the master could teach, and he needed to experience it in actual combat. Boyan ordered Wang Yangming to go back to rest, but when he saw Wang Yangming going back to the house and taking out a jar of wine, Boyan smiled and said, "You kid, where did you get the wine?"

Wang Yangming smiled: "As soon as I arrived at this post house, I asked Biluo to go out to buy wine." This place is Shaanxi, and the most famous is Fenjiu. This altar of apricot blossom village is the precious inventory of Taibai Building, an old Fenjiu store, and it cost me a hundred taels of silver. Wouldn't it be a beautiful thing to honor the general!"

Boyan is also a good drinker, and when he heard the name of Xinghua Village, he smiled: "Count you boy as a good boy! Go, go to my house to drink." ”

Wang Yangming asked Biluo to cook and make a few hot stir-fries, and the two of them got drunk in Boyan's room. Wang Yangming waited for Boyan to fall asleep before returning to his room with Biluo. Biluo smiled: "Brother Yangming is so happy today." ”

Wang Yangming used the Jiuyang Divine Skill, suppressed the alcohol in his body, and said with a smile: "Dashuai passed on my fire and greed today, so why not accompany him to drink." This fire greed sword is a priceless martial art in the world. ”

Biluo said: "Brother Yangming's body always has something that people like. From Dean San to Senior Brother, from Guanglingzi to Senior Sister Su Mu, and Dashuai Boyan, they all have a good eye for you, and you are worthy of Brother Yangming. ”

Wang Yangming listened to the admiration revealed in her words, where did he dare to answer, he could only smile awkwardly, thinking, this is probably the legendary protagonist's aura, the spirit of a king?

At that moment, the two of them went to sleep separately and continued their journey on the second day. After walking for another three days, we finally arrived at the end of the trip - Chang'an.

Wang Yangming has not returned to Chang'an for half a year, and after entering the city, he found that everything is still the same, Chang'an seems to be so prosperous and lively forever, with many shops on both sides of Zhuque Avenue, and bustling shops, so that Wang Yangming, who is used to staying in the barren land in the northwest, is not adaptable.

Boyan ordered him to accompany him to the Ministry of War to report first, Biluo was not in the military and could not go to the Ministry of War, so he went back to the National Prison to report the news to San Yisheng and others.

Wang Yangming's heart moved, and he instructed Biluo: "When you go to the Guozi Prison, you are not busy with other things, go find my master first, tell him about me going to the military department, and see how the master shows me." ”

Biluo nodded and went straight away.

The two of them rode their horses to the military department, the original rules of the Great Xia Dynasty, if the military general returned to Beijing to report on his work, the first thing was to go to the military department to report, and explain the purpose of his return to Beijing, in order to prevent the military general from having bad intentions, and coming back to instigate a mutiny. Emperor Hongwu established the country by force, and what he was most afraid of was the instability of the army, so he controlled this very strictly.

The military headquarters was very busy, and no one came out to receive them. Boyan has been in the army for many years, and has been in and out of this room countless times, but he didn't care at all, and took Wang Yangming straight to the room of the military department, knocked on the door, and said: "Liu Shangshu can ask to see the official Boyan." ”
