Since the battle between Yang Dongqing and Li Xunxu in Changsheng Lake came to an end, the one-trick covenant between the two spread throughout the two rivers and lakes of Great Chu and Southern Tang through the mouths of the heroes of the rivers and lakes present at the time.

And then became famous all over the world and Wang Xuanlang's amazing sword for the younger generations, after the news of this matter spread, the people who were near Changsheng Lake at that time but were unwilling to rush over sighed again and again.

Moreover, many people in the rivers and lakes stood up to complain for Wang Xuanlang, saying that Wang Jianqing, who ranked first in the list of the twelve local branches, was not qualified to be ranked in front of Wang Xuanlang at all.

And there are some people who have small bellies and chicken intestines but are like clowns who jump off the beam, and they want to run out and say that Wang Xuanlang's trick is to buy people's hearts, and those who speak for Wang Xuanlang are fools.

For a while, two completely different waves were set off on the rivers and lakes, which completely brought the first dispute between Wang Xuanlang and Wang Jianqing to the table.

However, as the person concerned, Wang Xuanlang didn't bother to pay attention to these mundane things at all, because his apprentices were about to be abducted by others.

Since they met at Changsheng Lake, Yang Dongqing knew that Ergou was still practicing knives, so he posted it anyway and said that he was going to the East China Sea, but after he got on the road, he kept tricking Ergou to learn to practice knives with him.

Yang Dongqing also knew that it was very dangerous to do this kind of thing, mainly because Wang Xuanlang's strength was too high, and it had reached the point of suffocation, but the temptation of the apprentice was too great, even if he knew that there was little hope, he still had to give it a try.

"Ergou, listen to me, what is the point of you practicing swords with that old man, and the sky is the realm of a feather falling into an immortal, but it is different from my sword practice, why do you think your master said that my sword path is not simple! That is because I have found a way to transcend a product, although it is still in the exploration stage, but there is always a direction, isn't it, as long as you practice swords with me, I will give you the opportunity to transcend a product!"

For half a month since he walked all the way from Changsheng Lake, Yang Dongqing has been using the opportunity to transcend the realm of a product to lobby Jiang Ergou.

At the beginning, Wang Xuanlang was still a little worried, he himself was not good at coming forward to say anything, but he was afraid that the bastard boy would run away with someone if he didn't know which tendon was wrong.

But until half a month has passed now, Ergou has not been interested in such a transcendent product, so he has put his mind at ease.

"I said, Brother Yang, why do you have to accept me as an apprentice? You said that you really like me, and I can't change it!"

After being annoyed by Yang Dongqing for half a month, Jiang Ergou was already a little impatient, and he was also annoyed that he had been confused in the first place and agreed to take him to the East China Sea?

"Ergou, didn't you ask me why I always make a broken knife, I'll tell you the reason today. ”

"Don't listen, don't listen!"

Ergou covered his ears with his hands and shook his head desperately, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, as if he had thought of something.

"There it is!"

Dodging Yang Dongqing's claws, the second dog ran away as soon as he slipped away, but he soon ran back again, holding Xu San, who had grabbed a handful of medicine, in his hand.

"Brother Yang, this is a good seedling, not like me who dares to scold the master, he knows how to respect the teacher, and he has never practiced martial arts, you can shape it how you want, you can train it according to the apprentice you want!"

After listening to Ergou's words, Yang Dongqingzai looked at Xu San carefully, and then the light in his eyes became more and more vigorous.

Yes, Jiang Ergou is a conscienceless, he is useless except for a little foundation in the way of the sword, this little guy is good, it doesn't matter if he doesn't know the knife, if you understand it, why do you want me as a master!

Speaking of this, Xu San didn't know that he was sold by Jiang Ergou, so he hurriedly threw away the medicinal materials in his hand and waved his hand at Yang Dongqing for a while.

"No... No, no, no, Brother Yang, I still have to inherit my master's mantle! I really don't have time to practice swords. ”

After finishing speaking, he broke free from Ergou's hands and ran away, just like Jiang Ergou just now.

Not long after Xu San ran back, an old man's earth-shattering voice came out.

"Ergouzi, you fucking roll over to Lao Tzu, you dare to betray Lao Tzu's apprentice, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will add something to your meal later!"

The moment the voice of the ghost hand came out, Ergou's first reaction was to run, but after hearing the second half of the words, he stopped, and he couldn't run for a while!

The second dog ghost walked towards Xu San and them in a cowardly manner, and admitted his mistake to the ghost hand doctor in a low voice, and then walked back dejected after being spit a lot of saliva by the ghost hand.

...

Among the five provinces of the Southern Tang Dynasty, only the place called Wenqu Province, where the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty is located, is rich in scholars, which is also the reason why the Southern Tang Dynasty placed the capital here.

Most of the civil officials in the Southern Tang Dynasty were from this province, and it was also regarded by the scholars of the Southern Tang Dynasty as the last pure land for scholars.

When the two dogs walked to Wenqu Province, it was the spring equinox, and according to the Great Chu calendar, it should be the early spring of the twenty-seventh year of Fu Rui.

But after arriving in the Southern Tang Dynasty, it is not so calculated, the current emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty is called Li Houzhen, but at the age of thirty-six, he has just succeeded to the throne for less than five years, and after he ascended the throne, he changed the name of the Southern Tang Dynasty to Xiangchun, according to the Southern Tang calendar, it should be Xiangchun for five years.

But no matter what the year name is, when the two dogs arrive in Wenqu Province, it means that they are not far from the East China Sea, and after walking through Wenqu Province, they are Southeast Province, and the easternmost part of this Southeast Province is the endless East China Sea.

In fact, I don't know when it started, especially after getting close to the southeast province, Wang Xuanlang became more and more silent, and he didn't even have the heart to fight with Ergou, and many times he looked at him quietly in places that Ergou didn't notice.

Today's spring equinox is a good day, but it is also the day when they use Wenqu to enter the southeastern provinces.

"Two dogs. ”

Jiang Ergou was playing with Xu San in front, and was suddenly stopped by Wang Xuanlang.

"What's the matter, old man. ”

Hearing the master shouting to himself, Ergou immediately turned back, but Wang Xuanlang took him to a place where there was no one.

"Ergou, haven't you always complained that I don't teach you to practice swords?"

Hearing Wang Xuanlang's words, Ergou was excited again, and he couldn't wait.

"Old man, ahh

Facing the excited Jiang Ergou, Wang Xuanlang shook his head very calmly.

"Ergou, you don't need to be taught to practice swords, everyone has their own way of swords, and my way may not be suitable for you, so when you can find your own way of sword one day, you can naturally lift your sword. ”

Wang Xuanlang reached out again and touched Jiang Ergou's head.

"Ergou, the reason why I haven't taught you to practice swords over the years is that I'm afraid that you will walk on my path, no matter how strong my path is, but it's not yours after all, it's difficult for you to come to the end, and no matter how difficult the road you find in the future, as long as your sword heart is the same, you can change the way. ”

Jiang Ergou let Wang Xuanlang's hand on his head.

"But Master, what should my kendo be?"

"Ergou, what is your kendo should not come to ask me, but ask your own heart. ”

"My heart?"

This can touch the blind spot of Ergou's knowledge again.

You have to understand that when your heart tells you that you can lift a sword, it will tell you what your sword is about. ”

Seeing his apprentice's brows furrowed tightly, Wang Xuanlang stretched out his hand to smooth it for him.

"If you don't understand, you won't want to think about it for the time being, Ergou, I have to tell you another thing, your life experience!"

Jiang Ergou was stunned again by his master's words, which was even more terrifying than letting him practice swords, he thought that his master would never mention this matter in his life, but now, his master actually took the initiative to mention it.

"Ergou, in fact, over the years, there should be some speculation in your heart, but now is not the time to tell you all the facts, I only hope that you can calm down first after knowing all the things, and now telling you these is to hope that you can have a mental preparation. ”

"Old man, why have you been getting more and more unreliable lately, and you are still..."

Ergou tried to alleviate it in a witty way, and for some reason, he was still unwilling to face some of the facts that he had already guessed the outcome. It's just that before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Wang Xuanlang.

"But we have to stand up and take responsibility!"

When he heard these two words, Ergou's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and his fists were clenched to the ground.

Ergou is actually not stupid, on the contrary, he is still very smart, over the years, his master has not mentioned anything about his life experience, he knows that his home may no longer be there.

"Master, what if I know the truth of the matter and there is no way to control my hatred. ”

Wang Xuanlang's hand on Jiang Ergou's head rubbed a few times.

"I've thought of all these things for you, and I'll tell you later. ”

Ergou's clenched fists loosened and tightened, but suddenly he discovered a detail in his master's words.

"Old man, you mean... We?"

Wang Xuanlang withdrew his palm, put it behind his back, and looked in the direction of the East China Sea.

"Yes, we! Actually, I'm just like you, and the reason why I'm going to the East China Sea this time is to take responsibility!"

Ergou was silent for a while, originally he didn't want to speak anymore, but he hesitated and finally opened his mouth

"Old man, you're going to find that Wang Jianqing!"

Faced with the question thrown by Ergou, Wang Xuanlang just nodded calmly, and then did not continue to speak, and after a quiet breath, he laughed happily as if he remembered something interesting.

"Ergou, the way of the sword is very long, so long that no one has ever seen the end. But kendo is also very short, so short that it is only a hundred years of life here, so you don't have to do those stupid things that pursue kendo all your life, if the mountain doesn't come, you don't have to go to the mountain!"

Speaking of this, Wang Xuanlang remembered for no reason the beloved woman who was calling him bitterly in front of the collapsed villa of his house.

"Ergou, in fact, Qin Nuxia and Chen Xici are very good, you'd better not let go of both!"
