Who knew that Yu Yan, who had fallen to the ground, looked at the other party, and then said respectfully:

"Master, I lost."

The person who attacked Yu Ember was none other than Yu Ember's master, Sheng Feng, his hair was half white, and he looked about fifty or sixty years old, his appearance was ordinary, but a long beard was very majestic.

Sheng Feng's hand was still holding Yu Yan's throat, and he asked Yu Yan:

"Sheng Yu Ash, you baby, what's going on today?"

It turned out that Yu Ember was also surnamed Sheng, and Sheng Yu Ember heard Master's question and replied:

"Master, what are you talking about?"

Sheng Feng said with some annoyance:

"The willow knife technique I taught you is to be as light as the wind, just like blowing willow leaves, are you a strangler? Picking up the Yanling knife as a saber maker, picking up the knife with both hands and chopping indiscriminately, isn't it completely messed up? I didn't have this kind of problem before, what's the problem? ”

Sheng Yu Ember bowed his head and said:

"I'm here for you to poke me."

"Huh?" Sheng Feng was interested, and after thinking for a while, he asked:

"You mean that you deliberately used a knife like this, just to let me stab you, and you stepped on the broken bamboo stick, did you think about it in advance?"

Sheng Yu Ember nodded and said:

"Yes, Master."

Sheng Feng did not hide the appreciation in his heart, smiled and nodded, but he frowned again and asked:

"What about the first time? When I cut off your left foot, not only did you not dodge, but you raised your right foot to kick it, and then you grabbed it, do you know that if I have a knife in my hand and slash it, your hands and feet will be broken! ”

Sheng Yu Ember opened his mouth, but did not speak, Sheng Feng saw it and said:

"If you want to scold you, just say it, I won't scold you."

Sheng Yu Ember said:

"Because you are a bamboo stick, not a knife."

When Sheng Feng heard this, his eyes widened, as if he had met Yu Ember for the first time, he looked at Yu Ember for a long time, and asked the next question:

"When you were shorter than the grappling just now, why did you want to fight with me? Don't you know that you are young and have shallow internal strength, and you are not an opponent when you fight with me? ”

Sheng Yu Ember replied honestly:

"I know."

Sheng Feng scolded with some reproach:

"Then you strangled a melon baby, why do you still fight like this?"

Sheng Yu Ember replied very naturally:

"But compared to close-fitting short fights, I'm not your opponent."

Sheng Feng was silent at this time, he lowered his head and thought about it for a long time, then let go of his right hand, turned around and walked towards the inner room, and said as he walked:

"Get up personally, cook for Lao Tzu, Gegou Rile, your baby is amazing...... One hundred and thirty-six, one hundred and thirty-six......"

After half an hour, the dish was ready, and the master and apprentice sat opposite each other and enjoyed dinner.

In Sheng Yu's eyes, this evening was no different from thousands of previous evenings, and today was the same as countless days in the past.

Cooking, doing farm work, learning martial arts, master's guidance, and being abused by the villagers in front of or behind their backs......

While eating, Sheng Feng chatted with Sheng Yu Ember like an ordinary villager to his son.

"Ash, do you know that the old man Zhang from Luojie Village next door is dead?"

"Hmmm......"

"The village chief's daughter, hasn't she been missing for a few days, do you know what's wrong?"

“……”

"Gegou Rile, you can't imagine that his family has a daughter, sixteen or seventeen years old, and eloped with a guy who heard that it was Jinguancheng Laile, and he made the village chief angry, hahaha......"

"Hmmm......"

"Ash, do you want the weather today? Are you annoyed by the sun? ”

"Hmmm......"

Sheng Feng felt that today's apprentice seemed to be a little abnormal, very absent-minded, he put down his chopsticks, looked at Sheng Yu Ash, and then said:

"Your clothes are wet, what's the matter?"

"Hmm...... Yes? Sheng Yu Ember came back to his senses, and when he heard the master ask about his clothes, he frowned, but he just shook his head and did not answer.

Sheng Feng was unimpressed and continued:

"Which one is Leci?"

Sheng Yuyan violently pulled a few mouthfuls of rice, and after putting the bowl down, he replied in a low voice:

"Zhang Gouyu, Wang Xiaowu and a few small babies (children) set fire to the tail of the old cow, wanting the old cow to step on our seedlings."

"Alas......" Sheng Feng listened and sighed:

"Strangle some small babies, they are all taught by their mothers and men (parents), they are a little bit (a little) big, can they have a big enmity with you?"

Sheng Yu Ember gritted his teeth, then got up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and said coldly:

"I don't care."

After that, he walked towards the kitchen with the dishes and chopsticks he had put away, and the muscles on his face suddenly jumped involuntarily, but he turned his back to the master, so Sheng Feng didn't notice it.

Sheng Feng looked at Yu Yan's back, thinking in his heart, after a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind about something, nodded slowly, and then got up and walked towards the back room.

Sheng Yushen washed the dishes and chopsticks, wiped his hands, and prepared to do other things—the chickens had not been fed yet, the sickle for beating pigweed had not been sharpened for a long time, cleaning the yard, and washing clothes...... Yu Ember is different from many people, others will think that they have too many trivial things, but Yu Ember is never tired of it, doing these miscellaneous farm work, but it will make his heart feel peaceful and happy.

As soon as he walked out of the kitchen, Sheng Feng's voice came from afar from the bedroom:

"Ash, come here."

Sheng Yuyan put down the work in his hand and walked quickly to Master Sheng Feng's bedroom, only to see Sheng Feng sitting precariously, and there was an extra box on the table, a box that looked very expensive, at least ...... At least as expensive as the village chief's wife's jewelry box.

"Phew!!" Sheng Yu Ember exclaimed—I didn't expect Master to have such a valuable box here.

"Master, what are you calling me paws?" Yu Yan respectfully hugged his fists and bowed - he has not read much since he was a child, and this fist hugging ceremony is the first etiquette he has ever learned.

Of course, I didn't learn a few in total.

Sheng Feng's eyes were half-closed, as if he was pondering, and after a long time, he sighed, and then asked Yu Yandao:

"Ash, how many tricks have you taken as a teacher today?"

At this time, he did not use the usual Sichuan pronunciation, but spoke a very fluent official dialect.

Sheng Yu Ember was stunned for a moment, and replied:

"One hundred and thirty-six moves...... Master, why do you want to talk to me with a Le Chong accent? It's a bit choked (like) those officials and old men talk a little bit, and it's very ...... begging."

"No, no, don't think so." Sheng Feng shook his head meaningfully and said:

"Ash, you remember, from today on, you have to use official language when you talk to others, you went to the township school to listen to it when you were a child, and what Mr. Teaching said is official language, and you will learn more in the future."

"Yes." Yu Yan agreed, but still asked puzzled:

"Master, why...... No, why do you want to speak officially? The people I talk to on weekdays all speak Sichuan, what's the matter? ”

He has been exposed to a lot of local accents since he was a child, and at this moment, when the master ordered him to speak official language, he couldn't change it for a while.

Sheng Feng said slowly:

"Because you're leaving this place soon."

"Leave? Walk? Sheng Yuyan was stunned for a moment, and said very reluctantly:

"Master, did I do something wrong? Why...... Why rush away from Ember? ”

"Don't panic. Listen to the teacher," Sheng Feng said with a smile:

"It's not for the teacher to drive you away, but you have proven that you have the qualifications to go down the mountain."

Yu Yan was puzzled:

"Proof?"

"Yes," Sheng Feng pointed out of the hospital:

"From the threshold to the door of the hall to get the knife, a total of less than four zhang, but when your ancestor tested me, it took me three years just to walk these four zhang...... and then I can pick up a hundred moves from your master, and it's been five years later......"

Yu Yan understood it - it seems that this is the rule of the master, every disciple who wants to go down the mountain must be tested by the master until he can get the knife and take a hundred moves.

Sheng Feng continued:

"But Ember, half a year ago, I started to test you, and at that time you were able to take down the knife and fight me in a few moves, yesterday you could only receive seventy moves, but today you surprised me - one hundred and thirty-six moves. Accurate calculation and improvisation, the two-handed knife has been beyond my expectations, and later I know how to use the strengths and avoid the weaknesses, and use the palm force to the palm force...... Well, it's a bit old-fashioned. ”

After Yu Yan hesitated again and again, he still knelt down and said respectfully:

"Actually, Master...... It's not that I'm improvising, it's that I just came up with those things on my own half a year ago. ”

"Oh?" Sheng Fengqi said:

"Why didn't you use it half a year ago?"

Yu Yan gritted his teeth, his masseter muscles jumped, and he said slowly:

"Because, at that time, I was not sure that I could win, this kind of thing, only the first time is the most useful, and the rest will not work."

"Teaching you for the teacher, this is called surprise." Sheng Feng nodded, he didn't expect that he, a seemingly honest disciple, would actually use stratagems.

Then he smiled with some satisfaction:

"But you still couldn't hold back, and you used it today, although you passed the test, but you still beat the teacher, it's still a little worse, hahaha...... However, although Jiang is still old and spicy, but let you hone it for a while, with your talent, your achievements will definitely surpass that of the teacher, Donu worked hard to stop the embers. ”

"Yes!" Yu Shen frowned and hesitated for a long time, Sheng Feng saw his strangeness and said:

"What's wrong, Ash?"

"Master...... I just hid something from you. Sheng Yuyan said with some struggle, and then he took out a dagger hidden in his arms, presented it with both hands, and then said:

"Master, this knife, I haven't used it just now."

The slender dagger lay quietly in the palm of Ember's palm, but the chill became heavier and heavier in Sheng Feng's heart, he looked at this dagger, and carefully recalled Fang Cai's hand-to-hand - he had the heart to feed the move, and he didn't fight with all his strength, just now if Ember suddenly pulled out this dagger to attack, at least three times, no, four chances could seriously injure me or even kill me...... And where did this knife come from, I got along with Ember day and night, and I didn't even know it......

Sheng Feng took the knife with some shock, and after being silent for a long time, he sighed:

"Ash, Ash, since the first day I picked you up five years ago, I can't see through you kid, all these years have passed, I thought I knew you well, but at this moment, I realized that I was wrong......"
