This Suzhou and Hangzhou two states really deserve to be called the rain town in the south of the Yangtze River, since the second dog and his master entered Suzhou, the big and small rains have been encountered four or five, fortunately there is the first lesson, the master and apprentice have not been drenched in the rain several times.

The rain is abundant, and even the vegetation of Suzhou has become extremely rich, and even the official roads are lined with tall trees, so that pedestrians can't feel the heat when walking on the road in summer.

Suddenly, the old man who was squinting in front of him suddenly stopped and plunged into the dense forest beside the road.

"Follow me. ”

Jiang Ergou, who didn't know what tricks he had come up with, was unavoidable, but he couldn't leave him alone!

"Old man, why are you taking me into this forest without leaving the official road?

Ergou pushed aside the half-human-tall weeds in front of him, and asked the old man in front of him who remembered that one was one out.

"Fart, what kind of game? You kid just follow me, and when the time comes, you will have your benefit." ”

If this is going to do some hard work, the second dog is naturally unwilling, but when he heard that it has its own benefits, the second dog's mood suddenly rises.

"Old man, this is what you said, if there is no benefit to be taken at that time, don't blame me for asking you!"

"Put your heart back in my belly. ”

Compared with the second dog, the old man walked much easier in the dense forest, and the weeds couldn't touch him at all, and when the old man passed by them, they would be pushed away by an invisible breath and automatically split their way.

"Whoa......

The master and apprentice walked all the way to the depths of the dense forest for nearly two miles, and then the sound of running water came to their ears.

Pulling away the last cage of weeds in their sight, a waterfall about fifteen feet high appeared in front of the two.

"Yes, it's okay, let's live here for a while. ”

There was a look of satisfaction in the old man's eyes.

"Old man, this is the benefit you said? You brought me here to enjoy the scenery? When I was in the mountain stream, you haven't seen enough of that broken waterfall?"

Jiang Ergou, who was originally elated, instantly lost interest after seeing this waterfall.

It's not that Ergou doesn't like beautiful scenery, but the waterfall is indeed enough to see since he was a child, and he is tired of seeing it, and he is tired of watching it.

"Take you to enjoy the scenery? Don't have such dreams even if you are daydreaming! Wait! You'll be happy later. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he ignored Jiang Ergou, and the long sword behind his back was automatically unsheathed, and wherever he passed, no matter how thick the trees were, they would fall in response.

Since you have decided to live here for a while, you must have a place to sleep, even if it is a kennel, you have to build one.

"Ergou, I've finished cutting down trees, and I'll leave the rest of the building to you. The division of labor is clear, and it is very 'fair' to you and me. ”

Ergou looked at the old man who had cut down the required trees in only ten breaths, and was speechless.

"Are you sure you're really fair about that?"

"What's the matter? If you really think it's unfair, you can't do it! It's just that when the time comes, I've built a house, so don't come and live there." ”

"Come on, if you don't say it, you're going to be a scoundrel with your own internal strength, I know I'm not as good as you, I can't cut down these trees in such a short time, so I can't do it!"

Jiang Ergou, who had nothing to do, took off the Kunwu knife at his waist and put it aside, rolled up his sleeves and walked over to work hotly.

......

There was a huge bluestone at the bottom of the waterfall, and the water that fell from a height of fifteen zhang hit this stone.

But now, there was a person standing on the stone, and I don't know if it was the second fool who had eaten enough and had nothing to do, and ran to the bottom of the waterfall to resist the impact of the water.

"Old man, you are really not human, you can come up with such a bad idea!"

The second fool who let out such an angry roar was naturally that Jiang Ergou, who was suffering a huge amount of torture at this moment.

His back, which came into direct contact with the torrent that fell from the sky, had turned red, and if it weren't for the meager internal force that supported him, he would have been knocked down by the current and fell into the pool below.

Look at the old man who came up with such a solution, he was sleeping in a homemade humble hammock.

With the roar of the second dog, the old man was also awakened.

"Why, you can't bear this little bit of suffering, what kind of sword immortal do you want to practice? I think it's a cheap immortal!"

The old man didn't have to laugh at this Jiang Ergou, he just wanted to motivate him through this method, of course, there were a lot of deliberate ingredients in it.

"Old man, don't be too ugly when you speak, I just vent and vent, on the surface, I am very uncomfortable now, but in fact, this is all pretending, you wait, I have to impress you today!"

"Okay! Then I'll just watch here and see if you can convince me today!"

The old man clapped his hands applaudively, but probably because the newly made hammock was not very comfortable, he turned over and found a comfortable position, and in a short time fell into a deep sleep.

After about an hour, this time Ergou really didn't say anything to beg for mercy, and the old man who had already woken up looked at Ergou who had become sweaty under the impact of the waterfall and felt a little relieved.

As soon as he wanted to say something to let him come down and rest, but before he could say it, he regretted it, for no other reason, Ergou said a word in front of him.

"Old man, is it time, I really can't hold it anymore, I forgot to ask you how long you want to stand at the beginning, it's really not good, this time you even if I admit it! Next time, I will definitely impress you!"

"Hmph, it's not half an hour yet!"

The old man's good mood was fleeting, and he was unhappy and added half an hour to Ergou.

......

In a blink of an eye, Ergou has been practicing in this beautiful place for almost a month, and his internal strength is much better than when he first came, and gradually, he is already moving closer to the realm of Wupin.

As the days passed, the autumn mood has become more and more intense, and there is no longer a heat wave in the evening, on the contrary, there is a hint of coolness.

"Ergou, these days, your progress is really not small!"

It's rare that this stingy old man is willing to praise himself, and Ergou's heart suddenly blossomed, and he couldn't stop smiling.

"That's right, you don't look at who your apprentice is, in the past thousands of years, there is such a talented Jiang Ergou as me, can you be powerful. ”

Ignoring Jiang Ergou, who was about to his tail to the sky, the old man continued.

"You just need to complete one more thing, and we're good to go. ”

finally had a chance to leave this ghost place, and the excited Jiang Ergou really wanted to raise his head to the sky and roar out on the spot.

"Old man, what do you say, as long as you can get out of here, let me stand at the bottom of the waterfall for a day. ”

He glanced at Jiang Ergou.

"Really?"

"Fake!"

Ergou hurriedly showed a flattering smile.

"Old man, I'm just saying, don't take it seriously, if I go to stand for a day, then my little life will have to be explained here, you still tell me honestly, what do you have to do before we can get out of here. ”

"Cut. ”

He glanced at Ergou with disdain.

"This last thing, it's hard to say, it's easy to say, it's easy to say, when you see that waterfall, you cut it off with a knife, and we can go. ”

Ergou turned his head to look at the fourteen or fifteen-meter-wide waterfall and blinked.

"Old man, what are you going to do, it's good here, and it's not bad to live for three or five years. ”

"It's not going to work. ”

The old man looked at Ergou's appearance and laughed.

"Old man, are you sure you're right, a knife! You think I'm in the first-class realm now. ”

"If you have a good realm, I won't let you cut this waterfall, just split the mountain for me!"

In the face of the old man's ridicule, the second dog was in the mood to return the slightest.

"The point is, it's impossible!"

Ergou spread his hands to show his helplessness.

"What's impossible, the key is to be attentive!"

The smile on the old man's face faded and was replaced by a serious face.

"Heart?"

Ergou's eyes showed a heavy color of confusion.

"That's right, the sword is the head of all weapons, and the sword is the king of soldiers. But in fact, in my eyes, whether you use a sword or a sword, it is the same. ”

The old man's long sword flew out of nowhere and appeared in his left hand.

"The sword has gathered all its power in one place with a single click, so the attack power is naturally unmatched. ”

Then, with a move of his right hand, Ergou's Kunwu knife also appeared in his hand

"The sword opens and closes, its momentum is unmatched, and the sweeping place is within its attack atmosphere. ”

Then the old man combined the two weapons into one.

"But whether you use a sword or a sword, you have to do one thing! That is, you have to be attentive! Since ancient times, why is it that people who use swords are a little more powerful than those who use other weapons? That is because of your state of mind! If your state of mind is high, even if you are only a ninth grade, your sword can still be invincible in the world. ”

When the old man said this, a look of remembrance appeared in his eyes.

"From ancient times to the present, there has only been one example of killing a first rank with the realm of the second grade, and the one who created this example was a kendo predecessor with a very high state of mind. ”

"Don't ask me what the state of mind is, I don't really understand, I must be unclear, but if you understand it, you will be enlightened. ”

Ergou was just about to speak when the old man blocked him back, and he didn't continue to ask, but Ergou slowly took back his Kunwu knife and put it on his lap!

The old man sat opposite Jiang Ergou and looked at him quietly, seeing that his apprentice was getting better, he stroked his gray beard with a smile in his eyes, he had never touched his beard before.

After sitting all night, it was not until the next morning that Ergou reacted, he got up and took the Kunwu knife, and stood in front of the waterfall.

Pick up the knife!

The fourteen or fifteen-meter-wide waterfall opened a hole from left to right, roughly estimated to be four meters away.

Pick up the knife!

This time, the cut has a tendency to widen, and it is a few inches wider than the previous one.

Pick up the knife!Split ... Pick up the knife!

The second dog was like a demon, from morning to night, and from night to the next morning.

But when the opening spread to two-thirds of the way to the entire waterfall, the two dogs never made any progress at all, and they were stuck here.

The east is white, and the first rays of the morning sun appear here through the shade of the trees.

Wang Xuanlang, an old man who had been watching from the side all night, suddenly made a move, and the long sword behind his back was automatically unsheathed and floated in front of him.

He pressed his sword in the air and stabbed forward, and a small dot-like gap appeared in the center of the waterfall.

Then, the dot continued to expand, and it was actually connected into a line!

The waterfall was really cut from the middle by Wang Xuanlang like a cloth, forming a broken flow for about a second!

Then, he stretched out his hand, and the Kunwu knife in Ergou's hand automatically came out of his hand and flew into his hand.

Horizontal slash!

After the flash of the knife, the waterfall broke inch by inch from left to right, and the flow broke again.

One sword, one sword!

The old man put away his sword and looked straight at Jiang Ergou with his eyes.

"You've got it!"

The confusion in Ergou's eyes became more and more intense, but then he gradually cleared up again.

"Here comes the knife!"

This time, the Kunwu knife was replaced by a break free from the old man's hand and flew towards Jiang Ergou.

"The sword has a long sword qi, but what about the knife?"

The second dog slashed out suddenly, and an invisible wave of knives slashed straight towards the waterfall.

"The knife is crazy!"
