Chapter 19: Where We Don't Meet

Xia Wushen was stunned for a long time, hurriedly followed behind Wang Chan, grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly, and said, "Master, where are we going?" ”

Wang Chan said: "When we go out and walk the rivers and lakes, we always have to put some lines." At that moment, he took him to find the cloth village and sewed a blue brocade coat and a pair of leather boots.

When Xia Wushen changed into new clothes and freshened up, he was a young man with beautiful eyebrows and eyes.

Wang Chan looked at it carefully and said strangely: "Apprentice, how can you look a little familiar as a teacher?" ”

Xia Wushen said: "Master, but there are any old people who are quite similar to the disciples?" ”

Wang Chan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I can't remember the teacher, I don't think about it!" You don't understand that your child has cultivated to the realm of Master, and he has long since forgotten it, and if he really sees someone similar, he will not forget it. ”

"I thought that the master had traveled extensively and had seen people who looked similar to his disciples, so it was good to ask about his life experience, but it was wishful thinking." Xia Wushen sighed and said, "Master, I see that the master of a faction like Master Chen has a lot of respect for you, what realm of cultivation are you now?" ”

Wang Chan shook his head and didn't answer, just took Xia Wushen to the horse market. But I saw that all the big horses were tall and fat, and their coats were smooth.

Xia Wushen said happily: "Master, are we here to buy horses?" ”

Wang Chan smiled and said, "Apprentice, take a look, which one you like, let's buy it." Teach you how to ride for the teacher, but verbally, if you don't ride a horse, it's just empty talk after all. ”

When Xia Wushen heard this, he was so pleased, thanked the master, and looked at it attentively.

At this moment, a sad hiss came. When the two of them heard the sound, they saw a scrawny dark red pony approaching with a big man leading the bridle.

Xia Wushen saw that the pony was covered with whip wounds and bloodstains, and couldn't help but feel compassion and said, "Master, why don't we buy this horse!" ”

Wang Chan smiled: "This pony's muscles have been wiped out, and the bones are like dry wood, and it is no longer useful, are you sure you want to buy it?" ”

Xia Wushen nodded and said, "When I saw it, I thought of my past, groveling, being a slave and a maid, and all I wanted was my life. Now that I have a master, I can learn the skills and live without looking at people's faces, but it is so miserable that no one will come to save it. Master, let's buy it, shall we? ”

Wang Chan nodded, stepped forward, and bought a horse from the man. The man shook his head at first, and when he saw Wang Chan take out a gold leaf, he hurriedly took the gold leaf and gave him the reins.

When Wang Chan walked back with the horse, Xia Wushen took the reins and said with a smile: "Master, thank you." He touched the horse's back again and said, "Pony, you will follow me in the future!" I have learned the skills from the master now, and I will not be able to keep you hungry in the future. ”

The pony was thin and weak, but quite spiritual, and seeing Xia Wushen's affectionate expression, he also stretched out his head and rubbed on him.

"Master, you are close to me." Xia Wushen said happily, "Let's give it a name!" ”

Wang Chan bought some fodder from a vendor in the horse market, and while feeding it, he smiled and said, "Okay." Give me one. ”

Xia Wushen thought for a while, sighed, and said helplessly: "I really can't think of it, Master, you are highly educated, so you should help you raise one." ”

Wang Chan looked at the pony and said, "Although this horse is thin and small, it is introverted, or it is not an ordinary horse. I see that its fur is red, but it is its own color, how about seeing it red? ”

"It's worthy of Master, even a name is better!" Xia Wushen clapped his hands and applauded, summoned the Sky Drawing Shadow Sword, and said, "Master, don't bother the two masters with anything, why don't you give my broken sword a nice name again?" ”

Wang Chan said: "Doesn't this sword already have a name? ”

Xia Wushen shook his head and said, "That's someone else's name, it's not as good as our own name." ”

Wang Chan said: "Why don't you come up with your own name?" ”

Xia Wushen touched the back of his head, his expression was quite cowardly, and said, "Master, what do you think of the name 'Zhushen'?" ”

Wang Chan was stunned and said, "What do you think?" ”

Xia Wushen said: "I think since the master named me 'Godless', I think it means that there is no god in the world, but how can there really be no god in this world, then when I learn the ability, I will hold this sword and kill all the gods in the world." ”

Before the words fell, I suddenly heard a few rumbling sounds, and a few thunderbolts suddenly appeared in the clear sky, and after a flash, they disappeared.

"Providence! Providence! Wang Chan looked up at the place where Jiao Lei disappeared, was stunned for a while, and said slowly: "Apprentice, I came to Chu State for the teacher this time, but I have been at a loss and have nothing to gain, so I went to the Ethereal Peak to give medicine, first lay down an opportunity, and then come to worship the mountain when I have something to ask for in the future." Now that you have the first gains, you just need to practice step by step, and it's time for the teacher to do your own thing. ”

Xia Wushen's eyes turned red, and he choked up: "Master, don't you want to be a disciple?" Apprentices don't want new clothes, don't want new shoes, don't want ponies, Master don't want apprentices, okay? ”

Wang Chan saw that his expression was sad, his eyes were full of pleading, and his heart was sour, and he said, "Good disciple, how can the master not want you." Let's just separate for the time being, and we will see each other in the future. ”

Xia Wushen raised his sleeves, wiped away his tears, and said, "Master, you will take the apprentice with you." Although the apprentice's knowledge is shallow and his cultivation is weak, when the master is in trouble, the apprentice can also talk to the master and relieve his boredom. ”

"Apprentice, you are still young now, you should experience the rivers and lakes to increase your knowledge and knowledge, so that you can make achievements in the future. It is necessary to know that the edge of the sword comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. Wang Chan pinched his fingers and calculated, and said, "Three years later, when it snows heavily, I am afraid that there will be a catastrophe for the teacher, and you will come to Jinling City, the capital of Wei State, to save the teacher's life." ”

Xia Wushen was stunned for a moment and said, "Master, you are already so powerful, who else can hurt you?" Besides, the apprentice is so stupid, even if he doesn't eat, drink, or sleep in the past three years, and has been cultivating all the time, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to catch up with the master. The master is still unmatched, does the apprentice have the ability to save it? ”

Wang Chan said: "Disciples must not be presumptuous, you are quite talented, and your foundation is also very strong, if you take time, you will definitely be able to win as a teacher." After that, he handed Xia Wushen a small package, which contained a few books, some scattered silver, and a few gold leaves.

"Master, shall we say goodbye then?" Xia Wushen took the package, and his voice gradually choked, "You are old, don't be too tired of acting outside." Three years later, I will come to you. ”

The master and apprentice said goodbye, Xia Wushen stood in the street, watching Wang Chan drift away, and finally was overwhelmed by the crowd, and for a while reluctance and confusion all came to his heart.

After a long time, Xia Wushen cleaned up his mood and rode out of Danyang City on a pony with red horses, and he didn't know the direction, but walked slowly.

Along the way, Xia Wushen stayed in the store, and he didn't forget to prepare a copy for Chicong. After half a month like this, the originally thin pony gradually became more energetic, and his body became fat and strong.

This person and horse, taking each other as companions, traveled all over the land of Chu. Summer goes to autumn, winter ends with spring solstice, and so on for more than a year.

On this day, Xia Wushen left the Chu State on a whim and came to the Ancient Fish Country. When he was galloping on the official road, he saw a figure resting on the side of the road from a distance.

When he got closer, Xia Wushen could see clearly, but who was Qingyi? At that moment, I was overjoyed, so I wanted to recognize each other, and after a turn of thought, I thought: "I haven't seen Sister Qingyi for a long time, and I don't know if she still recognizes me?" Wait for me to tease her. ”

The horses galloped very fast, and in a blink of an eye they were in front of them. Xia Wushen reined in the horse's head, pointed ahead, and asked, "Little girl, did you go to the boundary of the Ancient Fish Country in the past?" ”

Qing Yi saw that his eyes were shining, and a pair of pupils were actually golden, and his heart was cold, and he said secretly: "What kind of person is this, his eyes are golden, looking at his childish appearance, could it be that he is a hidden master?" If so, I should make friends with him. Oh, I don't want to happen to such a good thing as soon as I go out for the first time. ”

Xia Wushen saw that Qingyi was stunned, and secretly wondered: "Could it be that Sister Qingyi has recognized me?" Let me try her again. Then he asked, "Little girl, dare to ask if you have reached the realm in the past?" ”

Qing Yi thought about it for a while, pretended to be angry, and said, "Hmph, you are so uninteresting!" ”

Xia Wushen couldn't help but be stunned, and said curiously: "Why am I not interested?" ”

Qing Yi said: "Look at your appearance, you are only in your teens, not much older than me, just a few years old, how can you be a little girl before and after a little girl?" ”

Xia Wushen smiled: "What the girl said is reasonable, but she is reckless." ”

Qing Yi snorted, and said: "Also, like you, you don't know your name when you see someone, you don't make a salute, you just sit on a horse, you come when you call, and you go when you wave, is there anyone like you who asks for directions?" ”

Xia Wushen had no choice but to get off the horse, hugged his fists as a salute, and said: "Girl, there is no god in Xia Xia, from Chu State, and I am going to the southeast." Dare to ask the past in the past, but you have reached the boundary of the ancient fish country? ”

Qing Yi felt quite disappointed in her heart: "I have wandered in the Chu Kingdom and the Ancient Fish Country in the past two years, and I have often heard people talk about the Nine Heavens Ethereal Tower, but I have never heard of Xia Wushen's number one person!" Listening to him, his voice was green, and he didn't think he was very old. Qingyi, Qingyi, you are also whimsical. The hidden masters of this world are not easy for you to see? ”

She nodded and said, "Well, that's right, you have to remember next time, remember not to be arrogant and rude." Is your name Xia Wushen? It's a weird name. Hey, your surname is Xia? Does anyone in this Chu country dare to have the surname Xia? ”

When Xia Wushen heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak, but he heard Qing Yi suddenly shout: "Hey, your red horse is very powerful." ”

As she spoke, she reached out and touched it, and suddenly felt a chill on her hand, as if something slimy was dipped in her hand, and when she retracted her hand, she was taken aback and said, "Oh, this horse is bleeding." How can you be so hard-hearted, and why should you be so anxious to hurry, and such a horse will be ruined for you. ”

Xia Wushen smiled proudly and said, "The girl only knows one thing, but she doesn't know the other." Look, this horse is in good spirits, and there is no sign of injury. ”

Qing Yi stretched out his hand, showed him the blood on his hand, and said angrily: "Then how do you explain this, if you are not injured, how can you shed so much blood?" ”

Xia Wushen laughed and said: "Girl, you are so lonely, this is not blood, it is the sweat flowing from the horse!" ”

After thinking about it, I felt weird again: "Listening to this girl's accent, it is obvious that she is from Jiang Guoren, how can she not know the origin of my red congregation?" ”

Xia Wushen's mount is the little thin horse Chi Cheng that he bought when he was separated from his division before.

Chicong was originally from Jiang Guo's sweat and blood horse, only because of the encounter with non-people, so that he succumbed to the hands of the villager, and then under his careful care, gradually recovered his nature, it turned out to be a rare thousand miles of good horses.

Qing Yi was stunned and said: "Are you a three-year-old child, how can there be red sweat in this world?" It's clear that you rode the horse badly, and you deliberately said that. ”

Xia Wushen couldn't cry or laugh at this time, and said patiently: "This is indeed Khan." Girl, do you know that Jiang Guo has a kind of strange horse, known as sweat and blood horse. When sweating, it is as red as blood, and the flank is like wings, and it can travel thousands of miles a day. My red horse is from Jiang Country. ”

Qing Yi nodded, as if he suddenly realized, his mouth was amazed, and he reached out to touch it again, and suddenly his figure flashed, and the person had already jumped on the horse, and said with a smile: "I now know that this is not blood, but sweat." Thank you for your horses, I'll pay you back when you get to the ancient fish country! Before the words fell, the red horse flew with its hooves and galloped away.

She was originally born in Jiang Guo, and this sweat and blood horse came from Jiang Guo, how did she not know. It's just that at this time, I was hungry, and I just wanted to hurry up and wait until I got to the restaurant to have a big meal, so I pretended not to know, and tricked the horse into coming first and then made a plan.

Qingyi clamped his legs and galloped on the horse, but he felt the wind whistling in his ears, and the trees on the side of the road kept retreating, and he ran out of Li Xu in a flash, and he was smug in his heart: "In the past, when I was at home, this sweaty horse could be seen at any time, and I didn't think it was so unusual." At this time, he was in a hurry, and it came in handy, but he couldn't stand the young man. Look at his man, with a strong physique, as strong as a bull, walking hundreds of miles, it should not be a problem. ”

She made the red horse a trick, and she was very happy in her heart, but when she looked back, she was shocked that there was no trace of Xia Wushen behind her.

When he was in a trance, he suddenly heard his voice ringing in his ears: "Girl, you want to ride a horse, tell me, I will give it to you, why play tricks on me." Let's see if you're faster on four legs or faster on my two legs. ”

When Qing Yi heard this, he was shocked in his heart, turned his head, and saw him on the side of the horse, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why are you next to me!" ”

Seeing that the dust behind him was not raised, as if he was walking against the wind, he secretly admired in his heart: "Like him, he is not weak in cultivating like this." Look at his appearance as a teenager, he is younger than me or a little younger, he can be a year with his hair tied, how can he be so good, he is the youngest young genius in my Jiang country, and it is nothing more than that. ”

Qing Yi saw that he was able to do it, and his heart was full of respect, and he saw that he was generous and heroic, and he was not angry, and said: "Wu Na boy, how do you speak, why are you two legs, and I am four legs." A good man taught you to be an animal. ”

Xia Wushen's face turned red, he felt slightly embarrassed, and said, "I am losing my words, please don't be surprised by the girl." ”
