Liu Haoran asked anxiously:

"You mean, you can also practice swords with your left hand?" He looked straight at the old man with missing front teeth, and even his voice trembled a little.

The toothless old man pursed his lips, spread his hands, and said:

"How do I know?" Liu Haoran stumbled under his feet, and he was speechless in his heart:

"You said so much about feelings, are you here to entertain me?" Seeing that Liu Haoran's eyes were getting worse and worse, the toothless old man then explained:

"I won't, but how do you know that others can't?" Liu Haoran asked reflexively:

"Did anyone succeed?" The toothless old man paused, and then said simply:

"Nope!" Liu Haoran is so angry! You say you can't, and no one has ever succeeded, so how dare you swear that you can do it here?

Kidding me? The emotions that had been brewed before were almost dissipated after the toothless old man made such a fuss, at least Liu Haoran didn't want to break himself off for the time being!

He was afraid that he would be cut off at this time, not because of the pathos of the hopeless kendo before, but because he was angry to death by this immoral old man!

That's a shame! However, he thought about it, and did not embarrass the old man, turned around and prepared to leave.

Adjust your emotions first, and then find another place to break yourself! Suddenly, the toothless old man said:

"Wait a minute, young man." Liu Haoran was also a little angry at this time, and said in his heart that you can laugh a few words, I don't care about you, this is not endless!

So he said angrily:

"What!" The toothless old man did not answer him, but asked:

"Do you know what 'kendo' is?" Liu Haoran was also a little stunned when he asked, and said casually:

"A sword is a sword, and kendo is a martial art that uses a sword." The toothless old man smiled when he heard this, and said:

"Definitely! Definitely! Liu Haoran frowned, looking at the old man's pretended profoundness, thinking of his words before playing with himself, his heart was full of doubts.

this

The word "kendo" has its own understanding, and even if he asks his father or even his ancestor to come, he can't say an answer that convinces everyone.

But in terms of simplicity, there is nothing wrong with saying that it is a martial art that uses a sword. But the toothless old man actually said that he was wrong, I don't know if this old man was playing tricks on him again, or if he really had some high opinions.

Liu Haoran asked:

"Then tell me, what is this 'kendo'?" The toothless old man grinned and said:

"The sword is a mortal thing, why is it called 'Tao'?" When Liu Haoran heard this, his face looked thoughtful. The toothless old man continued:

"There is no sword in the world, because there are people, and there is a sword later. The sword is forged by man, and man is born by the sword. The unity of man and sword, the avenue of the square, this is the true meaning! ”

"Between heaven and earth, all living beings are ants, rising and falling in this sea. The predecessors opened up the way of the sword to seek a way forward between heaven and earth. ”

"If you want to reach the top, you must go through all kinds of difficulties, and you will stop moving forward with a little danger, how to achieve the avenue?" After listening to the words of this toothless old man, although Liu Haoran felt that it was very reasonable, it sounded exciting, but he always felt that something was wrong!

I'm afraid that this old man is fooling himself, but when he thinks about it, he is in such a miserable situation now, what can he worry about?

It's better to give it a go, and the result won't be worse than it is now! Thinking of this, Liu Haoran's eyes instantly became firm, and the fire that had dissipated was rekindled again.

The toothless old man nodded, seemingly pleased with his reaction, and then asked:

"Your own sword, you can only use it when you forge it! I teach you the art of sword forgery, are you willing to worship me as a teacher? Liu Haoran was shocked, and said in his heart

"The art of forging swords", not to mention my father, even my ancestor never knew it. Moreover, the swordsmith has a very high status in both the dynasty and the Jianghu sect, especially in the hearts of the swordsmen, and they are even more respected.

After all, it is very important for them to have a famous sword that suits them, and at this time, they will require a swordsmith.

And some of the most famous swordsmiths possess terrifying powers, and if someone makes an enmity with them, then those swordsmen who have been gifted with famous swords will come to their aid.

Just imagine, the famous swordsmen of the rivers and lakes came together, and the scene was really overwhelmingly spectacular, and it is estimated that the opponent of the swordsmith would be scared half to death without fighting!

Therefore, few people in the rivers and lakes will offend the swordsmith, after all, the trouble is too great! But there are more or less legends in the famous swordsmiths, but the toothless old man in front of him has never heard anyone say, is he really a swordsmith?

Liu Haoran couldn't help but look entangled when he thought of this, and the old man with missing teeth was not in a hurry, so he looked at him quietly.

Finally, Liu Haoran let out a long breath, suddenly fell to his knees, and said:

"Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship!" Anyway, he has already fallen into such a situation at this time, it is better to use a dead horse as a live horse doctor, maybe there is a chance to rise again.

Moreover, there seems to be some truth in the bunch of words he just said! Then, Liu Haoran was about to bow his head, and the toothless old man had already arrived in front of him.

Reaching out to help him up, he said with a smile:

"Apprentice, your body is seriously injured and has not healed, you don't need to make this big gift, just make up for it later!" Liu Haoran is not a pedantic person, and he did not insist on it at the moment.

It's just that I didn't see how this toothless old man moved just now, so he instantly arrived in front of him, which shows that his strength is not bad, and he has a little more confidence in his decision to apprentice at the moment.

The toothless old man groped out a yellowed album from his arms, handed it to Liu Haoran, and said:

"Apprentice, this is some of the sword-forging experience for the teacher, if you are physically inconvenient at the moment, don't travel far with the teacher. In addition to recuperating from the injury, I studied carefully first, and after the injury recovered, I could go to Chang'an Mo's house to find me. Liu Haoran looked at the album in his hand and nodded solemnly.

Then the toothless old man tapped him on the shoulder and turned to leave. Not long after the toothless old man left, a figure appeared behind the wall, it was Lin Yan!

He also passed by here by chance, and met Liu Haoran, who came alone, originally planned to take a look, if this Liu Ying's cousin wanted to do something stupid, he could also stop it.

As a result, he saw the above scene, which shocked him, because the toothless old man was Uncle Mao who was driving the car all the way!

Although he knew that this Uncle Mao was at least a powerhouse in the middle of the acquired realm, it was the first time he had heard of the identity of the swordsmith, and he didn't know if Mo Li knew about it.

At this time, Qiu Lao's deep voice sounded in his mind:

"This person is not simple!" Lin Yan said secretly when he heard this:

"Could it be that he is not only in the middle of the acquired realm?" Qiu Lao paused and said:

"Very eloquent!" Lin Yan was speechless for a while, and then agreed in his heart. This Uncle Mao's long exposition just now is a big truth, and it is easy to mobilize the blood in the young man's body.

If it weren't for this set of impassioned statements, even if he showed his identity as a swordsmith, it would be impossible for Liu Haoran to bow down.

It can be said that Uncle Mao successfully accepted apprentices this time, and those words played a great role. Lin Yan shook his head and didn't think about it again.

No matter what the identity of this Uncle Mao is, as long as he will not be disadvantageous to this team, then no matter whether he is going to collect apprentices or what he does, Lin Yan will not interfere.

Speaking of which, this can be regarded as an opportunity for Liu Haoran. Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, I don't know if this Liu Haoran is a blessing in disguise!

…… Lin Yan and his entourage still have a long way to go, plus they have been delayed in Liufu for many days before, and now the ring competition has ended, and the Liu family has successfully obtained the right to mine iron ore this time, so it is time for them to leave.

On the occasion of parting, Lin Yan left the "Luoying Sword Technique" obtained in the abyss to Liu Ying, which is also a set of high-level martial arts at the spirit level, which is of great help to the current Liu Ying.

Although she defeated Gao Feng with the help of Lin Yan before, after all, it was by external force, if you want to control the right to speak, your own arrogance is the last word!

However, this is not a day's work, but fortunately, with the rise of Liu Chengyan's branch, he also has a certain right to speak in the family, so Liu Ying still has time to become stronger!

Separation is always reluctant, under the eyes of Liu Ying, Liu Yan and others, Lin Yan and his party slowly drove away.

What no one noticed was that at the corner of the wall, a figure looked at the van that was gradually moving away, and the only remaining arm clutched a yellowed atlas tightly, and whispered:

"Master, I will definitely work hard to practice!" …… After Lin Yan and his party went on the road, Uncle Mao still drove the carriage as usual, and rarely spoke along the way, which was very different from the way he spoke at length to Liu Haoran that day.

Along the way, the people did not encounter any danger. Lin Yan still remembered that when he first left the village, he met a bandit on the road, but he was a killer sent by the Liu family in disguise.

This return trip is very peaceful, don't say fake, I haven't even seen a real one. So along the way, everyone's itinerary was much faster, and soon they arrived in Yellowstone City.

Once here, it's not far from the village. Lin Yan hired an ox cart and bought a lot of things on the spot, after all, he hadn't returned to the village for so long, so he had to bring some gifts to the villagers.

Although I said that I had prepared some in Chang'an before, after all, the road was far away, so I actually couldn't bring too much, so I just made up for it here.

After cleaning up, under Lin Yan's guidance, Uncle Mao drove the carriage in front, and a guy drove the ox cart behind, heading towards the village.

It's not easy to walk along the way, after all, it's a country road, but fortunately, Uncle Mao's driving skills are still good, but the bumps along the way are a bit tormenting.

Soon, the shadow of a village appeared in everyone's sight, Lin Yan looked at the familiar small village, and instantly felt that his eyes were a little red.

It's been so long since he's been out, and today he's finally back! I don't know if it's because of the cowardice of his hometown or what, at this time, there was a trace of nervousness in his heart.

Lin Yan shook his head, threw this emotion out of his head, looked straight ahead with his eyes, and whispered:

"I'm back!"
