Chapter 7: Apprenticeship (II)
Zhu Ji looked at Zhao Qing's calm expression, a smile flashed on his face, and he said with a slight apology: "Apprentice, you don't really think that I am such a strict person for juniors." This weapon is for you. ”
He didn't make any moves, but the moment the words fell, a sheathed bronze short sword shuttled over the distance of twenty or thirty zhang from the Zhao family to the stream, and did not bring a wave of energy, but just quietly hovered in front of Zhao Qing.
Zhao Qing recognized that this was the sword that had been used to cut off the gold grains from the gold cake before.
She stretched out her hand to take it, and slowly drew the sword out of its sheath, only to see Leng Sensen's blue light shoot out, flickering and flowing on the sword surface, and when her fingers approached the sword body, there was a faint sharp stinging sensation, which seemed to be covered by the master when she saw it before.
When receiving divine consciousness information before, Zhao Qing also knew the Yue Chinese script by the way, so she recognized the inscription on it, "Yue Wang Yun often made himself, and Cao Zijian was the fifth".
Suddenly, she remembered the sword she had seen Shen Shendao find from the ancient tomb before, it seemed that the sword was one of the "divine species" behind him, and she didn't know what level of divine soldier it was, so it shouldn't be a sword.
The so-called sub-sword, recorded in the "Heavenly Soldier Refining and Qi Induction Method", is the auxiliary sword that was born together when the yin and yang qi of the main sword was cast, and the power was much worse than that of the main sword, but most of them can still be called divine weapons.
"This is one of the twenty-four swords of the famous sword Haocao, which was given by the king Gou Jian when he ascended the throne in the past. Although this sword is small, it is considered to be the best grade among the sub-swords of Hao Cao, and it is enough for you to refine your qi before the 'Zhong Six Qi'. ”
Zhu Ji opened his mouth without saying a word, and brushed his hand on the edge of the sword, suppressing the sharp aura emanating from the sword body.
"As for the 'Qingxuan' that was born in a year and a half, I will also help you fight for it, and I have a great grasp. Of course, apprentice, you have to work hard yourself. ”
"Don't look at my calm tone and have no ups and downs, and think that I am a very serious and profound person, but in fact, this is just because of the need for cultivation. I'm actually quite a bit of a communicator, and sometimes I make jokes. ”
Zhao Qing moved his lips and didn't speak, it's better to be serious than making this kind of joke.
Zhu Ji didn't feel embarrassed, he paused, and added:
"For more than ten generations, there have been members of the Zhuji clan who have been in important positions in Dayue, with a long heritage and strong power. The contemporary great Sima Zhujiying is my uncle; The crown prince and Yi are my brothers-in-law. ”
"Zhao Qing, you are the third apprentice I have accepted, and you should also be my last disciple, and the treatment will never be bad. Back in the Xia and Shang era, there were also women who were politicians and generals, if you can train to match the cultivation strength of an army, you may not be able to be named a doctor and a general, and your name will remain in history. ”
"King Goujian is a very capable and ambitious person, before completing his revenge on the Wu State, even if he sees people from other countries coming to serve, he will not show distrust and look down on him because of his relationship and status."
"As long as he has the ability and ability, he will be 'Corporal Lixian' and 'Appointed by Talent', I wonder if you have such confidence?"
Zhao Qing blinked his eyes, "Appointment due to talent" is most likely a fact, but "Corporal Lixian" still forget it, Wen Chong's death is unjust. "The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook; Flying birds, good bow hidden" She still understands.
It is said that Gou Jian will not kill the master in the future, it sounds like the master does not know Gou Jian's nature. However, the two are in-laws after all, so there should be no big problem.
Zhu Ji looked up at the moonlight in the night sky, and walked towards the Zhao family's courtyard, Zhao Qing followed behind him.
"By the way, I haven't introduced your senior brother and second senior brother yet. The eldest brother Jiang Chengyu, a descendant of the original Jiang State, is currently a guest at the prince of Chu State, and secretly helps the daughter of the princess of Chu and her son Chu Zizhang. ”
"The second senior brother Zhong Wubo Yan is the grandson of the original Zhong Wuguo, and he is also a cultivator who has just entered the middle six qi, and now he is an undercover agent in the Yunyang Gate sent by the Wu State to collect news about the rivers and lakes of the Wu Kingdom, and he has been the second elder of the Youyun Hall, the head of the four halls in the Yunyang Gate, for many years."
"As for your master and I, since I stepped down as Xiao Situ sixteen years ago, I have been doing investigation work in the six townships on the outskirts of the country to conceal my identity, eliminate the restless factors in the country, and recommend some talents to the current Situ by the way."
"To make friends with the Chu State in the south, the Jin State to the west, and the Qi State to the north are our foreign policy of the Yue State. On the surface, the pedestrian doctor sent envoys to communicate, but secretly there was our vein involved. ”
What kind of spy organization, the "Jinyi Guard" of the Yue Kingdom? Is it working underground per capita? I'm on the wrong thief ship.
Zhao Qing couldn't help but secretly slander, and the corners of his eyes twitched, so what outrageous things will I be sent by the master to do in the future? But why does it feel a little irritating inexplicably?
"As for your words, apprentice. Well, Xiao Zhao Qing, you better wait for another five or six years before thinking about it, and find a more stable place to practice martial arts by yourself. I have a place here for the First Martial Arts Academy of Huiji and the Sword Battalion in the Army, which one do you decide? ”
"Martial arts." Carrying the sword he had just gotten and the tableware that had been washed a long time ago, Zhao Qing returned to the small courtyard of his home and thought about it.
Anyway, the sword camp doesn't sound like a stable place, it won't be among the death squads! And is "practicing martial arts by yourself" the meaning of what you imagined?
As if he saw the thoughts in Zhao Qing's heart, Zhu Ji cleared his throat without saying a word, and explained:
"Whether it is the land of Wuyue or the Central Plains, the vast majority of Jianghu sects follow the so-called rule of 'the law is not passed on lightly', dividing the exercises into three, six, nine and so on, and choosing to teach them, and even with the improvement of status, the disciples continue to change the fundamental law. This is to control the progress of the disciples' cultivation to ensure the stability of the status of the main lineage. ”
"But here, there is no such rule, everyone can get the high-level exercises that I have carefully annotated after entering, plus a few of your top understandings, in fact, there is no need for my special teaching."
It's an excuse to avoid responsibility. Zhao Qing stroked his forehead with his hand, feeling that the master's tall image had not yet been established, and he had collapsed by himself.
"One more thing. You should have understood early on that your talent for martial arts is top, and you know that your future cannot be limited to one village and one township, but the reason why you have not left home to practice martial arts for a long time is because you have to take care of your sick and weak mother. ”
Zhu Ji said while packing up the luggage that had been placed at the door.
Zhao Qing nodded, after the apprenticeship, she was thinking about what she should do, maybe she spent money to invite some people to take care of her?
"Your mother's internal injuries began when a blood clot clotted in her internal organs, which led to the failure of her body. After that, I could only lie in bed for a long time, my legs atrophied, and the internal blood vessels and tendons hardened. ”
"It is estimated that the doctors in the countryside did not completely diagnose it, but only taught people to take medicine and recuperate, but without the medicine of the doctors, your mother would not be able to survive today. Fortunately, although her physical problems are huge, they can actually be treated. ”
"At the end of the message I have instilled in you, I have attached a medical sutra that contains a cure for your mother. As long as you have cultivated to the realm of transforming your strength, or you have already achieved the beginning of refining qi, you can start to treat it. ”
"When the time comes, you can use the method of energetic resonance or internal qi cutting to wash your mother's muscles and reshape the muscles and bones of your lower limbs. After that, you take care of her for half an hour every day, about a month, and she will return to the point where she is normal, so that you will no longer have to worry about the future. ”
"That's all, your master and I have left beforehand. This money is left to you. ”
Zhao Qing, who had just turned his back and was about to clean up the housework, hurriedly turned his head, but there was no one left.
There was no trace of anything other than a piece of gold cake on the bamboo chair in front of the door that shone slightly in the moonlight, and a bronze short sword hanging from the buckle around his waist.
