Chapter 17: Apprenticeship and Sword
Wu Zhiqi quietly listened to the reason why Xiao Yi borrowed the water sword to save people and the origin of the edict of the Son of Heaven, stroked his beard and muttered silently, he didn't expect that this kid had so many adventures, when he heard the section of the battle between the mysterious man in black and Yao Ji, his white eyebrows frowned, and he was puzzled: "The Chu people are so united, they will never be able to do the ugly thing of witching their compatriots, and that night in the river, it should be the Chu people who first discovered that the Dongyi heroes gathered in "Yaodu" to rest, so they wanted to encircle and annihilate everyone. I never thought that I would meet the mysterious people who tracked down the edict of the Son of Heaven on your body, and the mysterious people killed all the Chu patrols in an instant in order to keep the secret from leaking. ”
Xiao Yi listened to Wu Zhiqi's analysis, suddenly realized, and said: "Yes, this mysterious person is not the same as the Chu thief, but this edict is only unfavorable to the Chu State, who will that mysterious person be if he is not a Chu thief?"
Wu Zhiqi said: "Then there are a few Tang, Qi, Yan, and Lu countries that are brighter than Chu countries, but I'm afraid that Kyushu will be troubled from now on," paused, and then said: "Little brother, I'm very puzzled why you can't feel the slightest fluctuation of true qi on your body?"
Xiao Yi's face turned red, and he said ashamedly: "The kid has also worked hard to learn one and a half moves from Sister Yaoji, how can he be stupid and dull, and he has never been able to do it." ”
Wu Zhiqi nodded and said, "I don't know if the little brother can let me check the pulse." In the words, it seems to be quite sincere.
It turns out that although diagnosing the pulse is just an ordinary medical and moxibustion behavior, but the rivers and lakes are sinister, and no one wants to put the radial artery under the fingers of others. It is a very impolite behavior to diagnose the pulse in Kyushu if it is not in a hurry, of course, Yao Ji is hiding from the world, naturally I don't know, and Xiao Yi doesn't know either.
Xiao Yi heard that Wu Zhiqi was sincere and sincere to Wu Zhiqi, and his heart was moved, and he said: "Wu senior, but there is a life, how dare the kid disobey." With that, he left the table and walked to Wu Zhiqi's case, bowed down and stretched out his left arm.
Wu Zhiqi only said that this kid was so bold, and he added a little favor to his heart, so he didn't say anything at the moment, and put his two fingers on the small radial artery, but as soon as Fang approached, he flicked Wu Zhiqi's two fingers away a certain distance.
Wu Zhiqi was surprised, his two fingers turned into hooks, and the real air turned, and he pressed it again. As soon as he made contact, Wu Zhiqi was taken aback again, and stared at Xiao Yi with puzzled eyes: "Strange, strange, why do you have two veins in your hands." ”
Ji Ziyu listened to Wu Zhiqi's words of "two veins in his hands", and laughed and said: "Senior Wu, do you mean that my brother is happy?
Wu Zhiqi listened to his joking words, and did not think he was angry, but he had deeper doubts in his heart, and his true anger between his fingers couldn't help but be a little more, and he repeatedly probed the second hand vein, but that hand vein was as quiet as stagnant water, and the chime was like a solid stone, no matter how he impacted, he didn't react at all.
After a while, Wu Zhiqi let go of Xiao Yi's left arm and said in a harmonious voice: "This little brother has extraordinary adventures, and his fortune and misfortune are unknown, but his hands and hands seem to have no pulses, so no matter how diligent you practice, you will not have any achievements." ”
Although Xiao Yi had never pursued martial arts attainments before, since Sister Yaoji was injured by a mysterious person, she had secretly made up her mind that she would study hard in the future to protect Sister Yaoji.
At this moment, after listening to Wu Zhiqi's assertion, Rao is ordinary Xiao Yi, who has always been broad-minded and looks down on everything, can't help but frown and feel sad.
Wu Zhiqi looked at him with a sense of loss on his face, and said with a smile: "Little brother don't be discouraged, all martial arts in the world must have a pulse, and my original water avoidance must have no pulse, I don't know if you have the heart to practice with me." ”
Xiao Yi was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed, excited: "Xiao Yi thanks the old man for his kindness."
Wu Zhiqi had already seen the two of them chivalrous and courageous at the foot of the mountain, and helped sell flowers to their grandchildren, and he already had a good impression in his heart. Later, when I learned that Peng Zu had accepted such a good apprentice, I was inevitably jealous. It was to let the child deliberately make things difficult for Ji Ziyu to relieve the boredom in his heart.
At this moment, seeing that Xiao Yi was quite devoted to his own temperament, he secretly had the intention of taking him into his door. smiled slightly: "Very good, very good, what, do you still call me an old-timer?"
Xiao Yi didn't understand the meaning of these words, so he only said: "I, I." I. But he couldn't go on, and looked at Ji Ziyu for help.
Ji Ziyu didn't expect things to go so smoothly, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly made a few looks. Xiao Yi suddenly realized, climbed to the ground at the moment, knocked his head four times, and said excitedly: "The master is above, please accept Xiao Yi's worship." ”
Wu Zhiqi sighed in his heart: "Although the reaction is a little sluggish, but his temperament is sincere and honest, and over time, he will definitely be able to surpass your Peng Zu disciple by a hundred times." ”
He waved his hand and said, "Well, that's very good, you two come with me." With that, he waved his robe sleeves and went to the ear room next to him, Xiao Yi and Ji Ziyu glanced at each other, smiling, and hurriedly followed.
The two of them followed Wu Zhiqi to hover on the narrow stone ladder for a long time, and suddenly, the red light was dazzling, and their horizons widened, and it turned out that the three of them came to a cliff.
Xiao Yi stood on the edge of the cliff, overlooking the bottomless ravine, and his heart was awe-inspiring.
The ravine is vast and meandering, stretches for more than ten miles from east to west, can not see the edge, the north and south are as wide as a thousand zhang, the cliffs on both sides are unfathomable, like a huge mouth of the forest, strange and scary. I didn't expect that there was such a mysterious place in the depths of Hongze Cave. Both were puzzled.
The faint red light was refracted on Wu Zhiqi's face, flickering and flickering, swaying. Rao was like this, and he couldn't hide the excitement and yearning on his face, and said in a low voice: "This is where I founded the Water Shelter Sword back then, where do you look." ”
The two looked at Wu Zhiqi's fingers, only to see that there was cold air, heat waves gushing out of each other, clouds steaming, changing into thousands of shapes, and there seemed to be a steep mountain peak standing here. When the wind blew, the clouds flew away, and a red light appeared on the peak, as if a long sword was erected at the head of the peak.
Ji Ziyu and Xiao Yi exclaimed in unison: "Water Sword?"
Wu Zhiqi's face was pale, and he smiled: "Yes, that is the water avoidance sword, but the water avoidance sword recognizes the master, and you two must let him recognize the master before he can be driven by him." Xiao Yi looked at the water-avoiding sword in the ravine in disbelief, and said in disbelief: "Master, how can we make him recognize the master." ”
Wu Zhiqi said: "The sword also has love, do you remember the water avoidance decision that I just taught you, to fight the sword, and then use your perseverance to conquer him." The two nodded as if they didn't understand, but they heard Ji Ziyu say first: "Brother Xiaoyi is not good at martial arts, so I'll fight this battle." ”
