Chapter 395: The Virtue of a Gentleman

Shen Yuan suddenly stood up, picked up the Northern Underworld Sword, turned around and came to Gongye He, knelt on the ground with a puff, his face was also full of tears, holding the Northern Underworld Sword in both hands, holding it in front of Gongyehe.

"The promise of the year, the disciple was afraid that he would break his promise, so he ........" Shen Yuan couldn't continue, and kept choking, "So I returned the Northern Underworld Sword to my teacher, and I have the hope of my teacher in this life, and the disciple ....... If there is an afterlife, continue this master-apprentice relationship!"

"Fuck your shit!"

Gongye He was furious, and with a "bang", he saw the table on the side, which was suddenly slapped into pieces by his palm!

"What do you want! In the next life and this life, do you still want to die!" Gong Yehe scolded with a look of hatred for iron and steel, "But the sesame is a big thing, so you are looking for death and life, where is there still a man who stands up to the sky, I think you are not as good as the big girl who embroiders flowers from home!"

scolded for a while, looked at the Northern Underworld Sword in front of him, sighed heavily, and only said: "If you return me, but you haven't picked up the sword yet, when you really pick up this sword, I will say whether you want to return it to Lao Tzu!"

Then he turned and went out of the house.

Shen Yuan knelt on the ground in a daze, looking at the Northern Soul Sword in his hand, but he thought about what Master had just said: "I obviously hold the sword in my palm, why does Master say that I haven't picked up the sword yet?"

Behind him, Ji Wanli muttered: "Yes, this table and chair is in a mess, and the store must have paid for it when asked, it's really careless in making friends, careless in making friends!"

At the same time, he walked behind Shen Yuan, patted his shoulder, and said, "Boy, get up and speak." ”

Seeing that Shen Yuan Zheng did not move, Ji Wanli shook his head and asked, "You are so smart, how can you be so easy to drill into the horns, don't you understand the meaning of your master's words?"

Shen Yuan looked up, and Ji Wanli suddenly asked, "What is the sword?"

"The sword, a gentleman's weapon, is also a murderous weapon. ”

"A gentleman's weapon, a murder weapon, that's it?"

Shen Yuan groaned and leaned down, looking at the North Ming in front of him, he couldn't help but recall the things he had experienced along the way, and also thought about the teachings of his master and himself back then.

didn't wait for Shen Yuan to speak, only to hear Ji Wanli ask again: "What is a gentleman, and why would a gentleman kill someone?"

Seeing that Shen Yuan was silent, Ji Wanli continued: "There is never a killing weapon in this world, it is only the human heart that kills people. But this sword is indeed a gentleman's weapon, and it has been since ancient times. Children, you remember that there are three virtues of a gentleman, one is benevolence, and the benevolent is not worried, the second is knowledge, and the one who knows is not confused, and the third is brave, and the brave are not afraid. ”

Although Shen Yuan is prone to paranoia, he is very intelligent, and Ji Wanli's words made his eyes light up like an enlightenment.

Seeing Shen Yuan's expression change, Ji Wanli couldn't help but nod and said secretly: "This son is really smart, and his son can be taught, but only the jade can be made into a tool...... Gongye and this old thing, how can such a good seedling be cheap for you!"

So he helped Shen Yuan up, and then asked, "Are you a gentleman?"

Shen Yuan raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears, shook his head and said: "I am not a gentleman, Master once said, the swordsman would rather bend than bend, when there is great courage, wisdom and benevolence, there are three who are indomitable and invincible, but I don't know that this is the virtue of a gentleman." ”

"So, can you understand what your master said?"

Shen Yuan nodded heavily, bowed to Ji Wanli, and said gratefully: "Thank you seniors for teaching me, it's just these two paths in front of the juniors......"

Without waiting for Shen Yuan to finish speaking, Ji Wanli waved his hand and said: "Where do you have two roads, you only have one way, and that is to live, even if your martial arts are completely wasted, if your martial arts are abolished, you will not be able to make a wasted person?" Or do you have no martial arts, you can't eat, and you can't?"

"But ......"

Hearing Ji Wanli's words, Shen Yuan was speechless for a while, paused, and said, "But without martial arts, do you have to be confused, eat and wait for death?" ”

After hearing this, Ji Wanli immediately pointed to the Northern Underworld Sword and asked: "According to you, how should those ordinary people who have no martial arts live, should they die? A gentleman is not a weapon, martial arts are just a means, what can he do without such means? Or is the meaning of the word Beiming so narrow?"

As soon as he said this, even if Shen Yuan broke out in a cold sweat, it also made Shen Yuan suddenly think of his father-in-law and stepmother who were far away on Wulong Island, they didn't know martial arts, wouldn't they also live?

Seeing this, Ji Wanli nodded and asked, "Can you pick up this sword at this time?"

Shen Yuan's expression was solemn, he clenched his sword, and said, "The sword is already in my hand!"

Then he pushed the door and walked out, and saw Gongye and his hands standing in the courtyard, looking up at the sky with his back to Shen Yuan, not knowing what to think.

"Master, the disciple has picked up the sword, and the disciple knows that he is wrong!"

Gongye He snorted coldly and said, "Bring the Northern Immortal Sword!"

"Master....... I ....... "56

Shen Yuan held the Northern Underworld Sword tightly, and with apprehension in his heart, he asked, "Master, you, what do you mean by this?"

Gongye He said: "Don't you want to return the sword to Lao Tzu? Lao Tzu accepted this sword, but the ugly words are in front of you, if you return the sword, you will no longer be my Gongye He's apprentice!"

Ji Wanli was also taken aback, and immediately called: "Brother Gongye!"

Shen Yuan was dumbfounded, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "The disciple has known that he is wrong, and he asks the master to calm his anger!"

"Mistaken?"

Gong Yehe sneered again, "You know that you are wrong, is this matter over?"

Shen Yuan was at a loss for what to do, and said in a low voice: "As long as you don't drive the disciple out of the master's door, let the master fall." ”

Gongyehe looked down at him, let out a breath in his two noses, and said: "In vain, I passed this sword to you, you actually turned all my words back then into a deaf ear, you don't understand this sword, so you are not worthy of this sword, in this case, Lao Tzu asked you to swear in front of Ji Wanli, this old guy, today, that you will not use this sword again within ten years, and the Northern Underworld Sword will not be unsheathed!

Shen Yuan was reluctant in his heart, but he couldn't disobey his master's order, so he had to say yes, and then Gongye He asked him to get up, and then tied the sword to his back.

"Are you not convinced?" asked Gong Yehe.

Shen Yuan shook his head and said, "There is only one knot in the disciple's heart now, that is, to kill He Youdao and avenge my father!"

Gongye said: "Hmph, that traitor should be punished, but Lao Tzu has already answered him, if he saves you, he will let him live, he can't talk and don't count, break his word and get fat." ”

Ji Wanli interjected and said, "Since you master and apprentice have spoken, listen to me first." ”

"What do you want to say?" Gong Yehe asked knowingly, "If you want me to change my background, I don't even have a door!"

"Oh, Brother Gongye, why are you so stubborn!"

Ji Wanli said a little anxiously, "He worshiped under my Sword Pavilion Gate, and he didn't say that he would not recognize you as a master! With the background of the Sword Pavilion, maybe he can really find a way to make this kid's martial arts regained!"

When Gongyehe heard this, he immediately asked, "Really?"

"You can give it a try. Ji Wanli stroked his beard and said.

"Still not! Lao Tzu's ability is no worse than your Sword Pavilion, except for Lu Li, which of you is not a defeated general under me, otherwise why do you teach my apprentice! But the Sword Saint Lu Li is nowhere to be found, and he is more than a hundred years old, if he is still alive, he may not be able to be better than me!"

When Ji Wanli heard Gongyehe talking about his master, he also lost his face, and said: "You old horseman, how can you dare to compare with my master!"

Gong Yehe waved his hand and said, "I won't talk to you!"

Ji Wanli hurriedly said: "If you really want this kid to be good, let him go to the Sword Pavilion with me!"

"Hmm, what do you mean by that?"

"If he has no martial arts, who will protect him? Since the battle of Kongtong, the Tianluo Gang has long regarded this kid as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh!"

When Gongye heard this, his face immediately changed, and he said: "What's the matter, Lao Tzu's martial arts are the best in the world, I can't protect him, could it be that you have this ability?"

Ji Wanli chuckled lightly and said, "Brother Gongye, the assassins of the Tianluo Gang can't be guarded against, it's okay if you're sober, if you commit madness.......

After a pause, he said: "In this world, the only place that the Tianluo Gang does not dare to set foot in is my Penglai Sword Pavilion!"

"Why?"

Gongye and he was puzzled, but Ji Wanli smiled and said nothing, which made Gongye and Hao impatient.

That Ji Wanli said again: "I know that you are reluctant to be your apprentice, but you really can't do it, won't you also come to the Sword Pavilion?"

After thinking for a moment, Gongye and secretly smiled and said, "It's not impossible for this stinky boy to worship two masters at the same time, unless he ......."

"Unless what?"

"Unless you worship your master as a teacher, Lao Tzu won't do it, so this kid will be here immediately!"

As soon as he heard this, Ji Wanli laughed, and immediately responded: "You old thing, you really have a good calculation, you just want to take advantage of me! However, for the sake of my Sword Pavilion inheritance today, I really promise you!"
