In the early morning of May, the temperature is still a little cool! The eastern horizon has been slightly white-yellow morning light, under the sky, in the alleys, the sound of chickens and dogs barking is quietly breaking the silence of the night!

After a night of silence, the alleys were resuming their daytime noise, and the peasant women who had risen early drew water from the bluestone by the river, and slowly hurried back, and the smoke of cooking was already wafting from the eaves of several houses.

When the women passed by the peach tree in front of the alley, they saw the young man dancing his swordsmanship over and over again!

There has always been a middle-aged man and a teenager living in Red Mud Alley. The middle-aged man was a frivolous scholar with a dissolute personality, with a few strands of white hair in his messy black hair, which was also tied with ribbons, but still looked messy.

A few strands of long hair often hang down unconsciously in front of the cheeks to cover one eye, so it is necessary to flick the index finger and brush it up.

His shabby clothes were washed and white, but they were surprisingly clean. People in the neighborhood thought he was a drunkard, because he had nothing to do all day, and he was often seen walking around the streets with a flask in his hand.

However, the middle-aged man is not completely useless, he knows some medical skills.

The residents in Hongni Lane will come to him for treatment if they have some minor diseases, there are not many doctors in the small town, and most of the reliable doctors are not cheap for soup and medicine, but the middle-aged man is an outsider, and he doesn't take a penny.

The high-ranking families don't look down on the middle-aged man's medical skills, so only the residents of Hongni Lane know about him. Because of this, every family has a lot of help for him on weekdays, but more for the sake of his apprentices, thinking that they will not starve to death!

Although the middle-aged man is a barefoot doctor, his medical skills are very reliable, and common problems can basically be solved when he finds him. It's just that his attitude of not seeking progress makes others unable to cope with it, and a handful of old people are idle all day long, and most of the money is spent on wine, and he pities his apprentice!

The apprentice is a teenager, and in the eyes of others, it is much more pleasing to the eye than the master.

The clean little boy heard that he learned swords from his master. There are ordinary people around him, who don't know how to use swords, but they know that this is a diligent doll, and he has never stopped learning swords every day.

The young man's name is Shen Kuang, he has been following the master since he can remember, he knows that his master is an unreliable master, but he is not as pitiful as others see, the master is very good to him, but he loves to pit him on weekdays!

The master has no principles in many things, but he never gives Shen Guo a chance to be lazy in the matter of swordsmanship. The master stipulated that Shen Guo should get up at midnight every day, and that he should practice swords for no less than two hours a day.

When he was a child, he was snooze, and he was woken up by the master every morning, and the master usually went back to sleep again after the master instructed him.

At that time, he thought a lot about it, thinking that the master would not need to practice if he fell asleep, but the master seemed to never be able to sleep, as long as Shen was the slightest lazy, there would be a pain in his butt immediately, he knew that it was the master who did it, so he didn't dare to be lazy anymore!

The life in the red mud alley is comfortable, although you have to practice the sword every day and read and write. But these days are warm, here, he not only has a master, a kind neighbor, but also a favorite sword, everything is as he wishes!

Except, except for their own parents.

When he was a child, he asked the same question many times to his master, and the master said that he would tell him when he grew up. But when he grew up, Shen didn't ask again.

He knew that he was probably different from others, or maybe the time was not yet ripe to say, in short, the master would not harm him!

In a small town, such days pass quickly, and time turns into more than ten years. It's spring again, and the peach tree at the mouth of the alley is blooming again!

······

"Xiao Er, come to a pot of tea, two taels of beef!"

"Okay, guest officer! Wait! ”

After a morning of driving, Shen Jing's throat was already dry and smoking.

Seeing that it was almost autumn and the city was still early, he planned to eat something to rest his feet first, and then enter the city after the big sun at noon! This is the case in early spring, when you need to wrap yourself in clothes in the morning to keep out the cold, and it is hot and tight at noon.

The tea shop in the mountains and forests is simple, the place is not big, only a few tables and chairs, idle in front of the store! Shen Guo took off the burden behind him and sat down. Speaking of this trip, I have to mention his unreliable master!

The master, who had never had a serious master, suddenly ran over with a smile that day and asked him to go to Yunmeng Mountain to ask for marriage, but the two of them couldn't fight with Yunmeng Mountain. So, Shen Zheng, who has a deep understanding of the master's unreliability, is keenly aware that this matter is not simple.

"Don't go!" Shen Guo's tone was resolute and decisive.

Shang still remembers that when he was a child, he went to steal chickens with his master, and the master asked him to watch the wind at the door.

Later, when he was caught, the master immediately changed his face and said that he was an ignorant kid, and he was thinking about stealing chickens and dogs, and he would definitely fix it when he went back, and God knew that when the master said this, his mouth was about to laugh crookedly.

The master said to others that he was going to do it, but behind his back, he had already plucked out the chicken feathers. It's just the master, and the chicken paws exposed behind the back are too obvious.

So Shen Kuang had to endure the preaching of the two of them, and at the same time, he had to help the master cover up, and his little hand inadvertently helped stuff the chicken feet into the master's pants.

Of course, he is not good at stubble, he deliberately pointed the tip of the chicken paw at the master's buttocks, the master felt that his buttocks suddenly hurt, and immediately reacted that it was his little rabbit who made the ghost, but for the sake of the chicken's face, endure it!

The skillful techniques and tacit cooperation between the master and apprentice naturally benefited from their many hard practices! The master steals chickens and does not steal them all, most of them are neighbors who have to give money after seeing a doctor, it is a tradition for the master not to collect money, and stealing chickens is like a unique way for the master to collect the cost of soup and medicine.

Of course, these things are only done once in a while. Simple people don't want to always owe favors, and the master accepts a chicken, even if they pay for the consultation.

Hearing that Shen Guo refused, the master didn't seem to be worried at all, and he looked like he was in his chest!

Seeing the strange appearance of the master, he muttered in his heart again: "Yunmeng Mountain? ”

Yunmeng Mountain knew that the famous Yunmeng Sword Sect on the rivers and lakes was located there.

Shen Kuang also uses swords, and he likes swords, and his swordsmanship was also taught to him by his master. However, the master never allowed him to fight with others, and even if there was friction, he could not use the sword. The master said that the sword moves he learned were too powerful, and he couldn't put them away freely until he was a little Cheng.

The great man of chivalry, for the country and the people!

The master said that people who practice martial arts do not use force to bully others, but use force to save people. Those who can be called heroes cannot be obtained by those who are not noble-minded.

Shen also hopes that one day he can be called a hero, but he understands that this road ahead is long, and he still has a long way to go.

He has always been suspicious of his master's character, but he has never doubted his master's swordsmanship, because he has seen his master sword out. It was when he was very young, and a man came to the door and said that he wanted to compete with his master.

That time, for the first time, the master put away his unreliable smile and seriously competed with the man. When he was a teenager, Shen Jing couldn't understand the moves of the two, but he slowly broke through a little bit over the years.

The competition between the two was very short, and Shen Guan had forgotten a few tricks in total, he only remembered that the master had won, but since then, the master had never used a sword except for teaching him to practice swords.

Because of this, Shen Kuang has always obeyed the master's instructions, and he will not go out of his sword until he has to.

Although he had never fought against the people of the Yunmeng Sword Sect, over the years, he had heard a lot about the Yunmeng Sword Sect, but he had never heard of anything related to his master and the Yunmeng Sword Sect.

Therefore, he rejected the master, simply and neatly.

However, after the master took out a hundred taels of silver tickets, time seemed to pause, and the air instantly froze.

Shen Kuang took over this arduous and difficult task, silver or anything was as unimportant as a floating cloud in his eyes, the important thing was that he liked to face difficulties and do something challenging.

Well! That's it!

"Master, even if I go up to Dao Mountain and go down to the sea of fire, I will definitely go to Yunmeng Mountain to ask for relatives!" Shen Kuang grabbed a hundred taels of silver tickets and stared intently, this was the first time he had seen so much money since he was a child. Although he was curious about how the master could come up with so much money at once, his intuition told him not to ask what he shouldn't ask.

"You stinky boy, I knew you wouldn't do it without doing something good!" The master smiled bitterly. This disciple of him not only learned his swordsmanship, but also learned his idle temperament.

"Hey, hey! Didn't I learn it from you? Master, say it, who do you like, I will report your name directly after I get to their mountain gate, with your tall and mighty image, master, I will definitely be able to bring back a master! ”

Shen Guo was shooting the horses, and suddenly his head was slapped by the master. "Stinky boy, it's for you to ask for your own marriage!" The master has no good airway.

"Ask me for a kiss?" Shen Guo touched the back of his head and asked.

He originally thought that his master had taken a fancy to which elder of the Yunmeng Sword Sect had come forward and asked him to go, but he never expected that the master would hit him with his idea.

"Why, can't you do it?" Seeing that he hesitated, the master drew the silver ticket in his hand while questioning.

Shen Guo shook the palm of his hand and said, "Of course it's no problem, isn't it just asking for a kiss!" It's a trifle! ”

But after the stiffness was finished, his tone immediately softened again: "Master, can this work?" I'm not going to be taken down the mountain like a hooligan! I heard that the Yunmeng Sword Sect is full of female disciples! ”

Hearing Shen Jing's worries, the master only waved his hand, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if everything was under control. pit his own apprentices, and he is still the best at being a master.

"Certainly not for you to go empty-handed! Take this one. As he spoke, he threw a piece of jade pendant to Shen Jing.

"In addition to asking you to ask for a kiss on this trip, I also want you to send this jade pendant. With this jade pendant, you won't be knocked down the mountain, and the people of Yunmeng Mountain will treat you!"

Shen Kuang took the jade pendant suspiciously and glanced at it, it was a delicate white jade, engraved with cloud patterns, and a cloud character was engraved on the front.

"Won't you really be knocked off the mountain?"

The master nodded: "Really! ”

The more determined the master was, the more uneasy Shen Jing's heart became.

"To whom?" Shen Jing asked again.

"The clouds are quiet!"

Hearing that it was a woman's name, Shen Guo gossiped and smiled: "Is she my future master?" ”

The master smiled when he heard this, and was about to answer, but suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and patted Shen Jing's head angrily, and said with a white eye: "Do you want a hundred taels!" ”

"Yes, of course!"

"Then to whom do I ask for marriage? Master! ”

"Her apprentice!"

"Is it pretty?"

"Beautiful! It's better than the butcher's daughter in front of the alley! The master raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Hearing the master's words, Shen Jing shuddered.

Speaking of Zhu Butcher's daughter, he immediately had an impression in his mind. The woman was very strong, and her figure was bigger than the two of them combined.

"Huh~!" Shen Jing quickly shook his head and drove the terrible picture out of his mind.

Although he knew what kind of person he was going to ask for, he still had an ominous premonition about this matter, and this uneasiness came from the master's determination.

However, although the master is unreliable, he is also his only apprentice, and he will never push him into the fire pit.

For a hundred taels of silver, fight!
