Volume 1: Frontier Snow Chapter 034, See the Warm Moon Again
He walked up to Wu Lihan and said, "This son, can I take a look at this sword behind you?"
Ulihan hesitated, but took it and gave it to the man.
The man took it, and did not draw his sword, but carefully rubbed the scabbard as if to see something from the scabbard.
When he pulled out the sword and looked at it more carefully, when Tian Zhiyu looked at the sword, he didn't feel anything other than that it was heavy. The sword body is bare, with no patterns and no blades, and it is a bit quaint and clumsy.
The middle-aged man looked at it for a long time, then returned the sword to Wu Lihan and said, "Childe, can you follow me to the backyard and let the family teacher take a look at this sword?"
The guy surnamed Han next to him added: "This is Mr. Mo, the chief butler of our Sword Society, and he is also a senior disciple of Master Zhuo. ”
Wu Lihan thought for a moment and said, "Then please ask Steward Mo to lead the way." ”
Steward Mo led the two of them inside, through the inner hall, to the backyard, which was smaller than the front yard, but much cleaner and tidy, and thought it was the place where Master Zhuo lived and lived.
Walking through the backyard and arriving at the back lobby, Steward Mo said, "Wait a minute, you two, I'll go and ask Master to come out." ”
Taking advantage of Steward Mo's efforts to go in and call people, Tian Zhiyu looked at the house, which was obviously much better than the previous decoration. The fine pear blossom wood table and chairs, the delicate blue and white vase, a magnificent landscape painting is hung in the middle, and a pair of pairs are hung on both sides: the four-foot long sword is towards the lyrical aspirations, and the wind is long for thousands of miles.
After a while, two people walked in from the inner hall, and in front of them was an old man with a lofty spirit, his eyebrows, beard and hair were gray, but his eyes were bright.
He stroked his beard as he walked, and as soon as he entered the door, he said, "Steward Mo, which son's sword makes you so interested?"
Following Steward Mo behind him, he stepped forward, pointed at Wu Lihan, and said, "It's this little brother's sword." He said to Wu Lihan again: "This son, can you borrow your sword to feast your eyes?"
Wu Lihan thought to himself that this fairy-like figure should be the world-famous sword-casting master Zhuo Buzhi, he had heard the master mention this person before, saying that the Central Plains martial arts master, he was proud of having a sword made by Master Zhuo himself, but this Master Zhuo has a strange temper, look at you pleasing to the eye, the golden sword can be given to you for free, see that you are not pleasing to the eye, no matter how much money is not willing to serve you.
He held up the sword and stretched it out in front of Zhuo Buyi, who took the sword, and the expression on his face immediately became solemn. The way he stroked the sword was more careful and serious than that of Steward Mo, and the scabbard alone looked at it for a quarter of an hour.
When he drew his sword, his eyes were already on the sword, starting from the hilt of the sword, looking down inch by inch, as if the sword had supreme martial arts secrets.
After another quarter of an hour, Zhuo Buzhi finally put away the sword, returned it to Wu Lihan, and said, "Dare to ask, who gave you this sword?"
Wu Lihan took the sword and said: "It's a family teacher, he has used this sword for decades, and he has been inseparable, this time before I came to the Central Plains, he said that I have never taken advantage of the weapon, so he gave up his love and gave me this sword." ”
Zhuo Buzhi looked at Wu Lihan, and asked with a smile: "Your master, but Dongyi Zhebei Menghe?"
Wu Lihan was surprised: "Master, do you know my master?"
Zhuo Buzhi smiled: "Know, know, I knew it decades ago." He was as young as you back then, but he looked much smarter than you. After saying this, he seemed to be aroused at once, and his eyes were full of tenderness.
When the master came back to his senses, he then said to Ulhan, "Is your master okay?"
"Thank you master for your concern, my master has always been in good health," Wu Lihan didn't expect his master to be so famous in the Central Plains, and even the world-famous sword-casting master Zhuo Buzhi knew him.
"That's good, your master was also a violent temper when he was young, and he would fight with people if he didn't agree with him, at that time I was afraid that he would make too many enemies and be plotted by the insidious villain, but fortunately, he returned to Dongyi later, and he didn't have to deal with those Jianghu people in the Central Plains who were full of justice on the surface and were despicable and shameless in secret," Zhuo Buzhi sat on the chair next to him and motioned for Wu Lihan and Tian Zhiyu to sit down as well.
"Master, so you know my master quite well?" asked Ullihan.
Zhuo Buzhi smiled and said, "Why, didn't your master mention the relationship between the two of us?"
Wu Lihan shook his head and said, "In recent years, the family teacher has been a little addicted to Buddhism, and he has been silent all day long, and he will only say a few more words when he is instructing our senior brothers in kung fu. On weekdays, we wanted to talk to Master, but he ignored us. ”
"Hahaha," Zhuo Buzhi laughed out loud, and said: "This Meng He, who was young and vigorous in his early years, had the spirit of giving up on me, but he didn't expect to start believing in Buddhism when he was old," and then he sighed again and said: "I haven't seen him for decades in the blink of an eye, and I thought that I would not have any chance in this life, but I actually met his apprentice." ”
He instructed Steward Mo to serve tea to the two of them, and then said to Ullihan, "You came to me this time to buy a sword?"
Wu Lihan pointed to Tian Zhiyu and said: "This is my friend, called Tian Zhiyu, he needs a good sword, I have heard for a long time that Master Zhuo casts a sword that is unparalleled in the world, so we came here, I thought it was an honor to see Master Zhuo's sword, but I didn't expect to see Master Zhuo himself, and what I didn't expect was that Master Zhuo was still my master's old man." ”
Zhuo Buzhi looked like an old naughty boy, laughed and said, "There is no escape from the word fate in the world," he looked at Tian Zhiyu and asked, "Who is your master?"
Tian Zhiyu said: "Speaking of which, my master is also a blacksmith like you, but he is not as famous as you. ”
Steward Mo, who happened to come in with tea, saw Tian Zhiyu calling his master a blacksmith, his face was uncertain, and he said: "The family master is a world-famous swordsmith master, how can he be compared to a blacksmith?"
But Zhuo Buzhi didn't care, and said: "Hey, what master is not a master, in fact, he is really a blacksmith." The old man has been an apprentice in the blacksmith shop since he was a child, but he did a good job later, and he had a little experience in sword casting, and others can call him a master, but he can still call himself a master?"
He looked at Tian Zhiyu again and said, "I think you are a kung fu learner, is your master famous?"
Tian Zhiyu shook his head and said, "My master doesn't know martial arts, I learned kung fu from Brother Wu Lihan, he is my master in kung fu," Tian Zhiyu pointed at Wu Lihan.
"In this way," Zhuo Buzhi thought for a moment and said, "Then have you ever entered their division?"
Wu Lihan was afraid that Tian Zhiyu would be embarrassed, so he hurriedly explained: "Actually, we have only known each other for more than two months, and I think Brother Zhiyu is born to practice martial arts, but unfortunately there is no one to guide him, so he taught him the inner strength of the lower grades." Unexpectedly, he made rapid progress, and it took less than two months to break through the lower grade and enter the middle grade. I was far inferior to him in this respect, but I was able to lead him through the door. ”
Zhuo Buzhi looked surprised, and said, "In just two months, you can go from beginner to middle grade?"
Tian Zhiyuzheng didn't know how to answer, and at this time, a familiar voice came from the inner room: "Grandpa Zhuo, or I'll go back first, and I'll come back to get it when the sword is ready." ”
With the voice walking out of the inner room, a handsome young man dressed as a man, Tian Zhiyu took a look, wasn't this the little attendant who followed Luo Qi?
As soon as Nuan Yue saw Tian Zhiyu, her face turned red for some reason, but she immediately regained her composure and said, "It turned out to be Tian Gongzi." ”
Zhuo Buzhi said: "It turns out that Nuan Yue, you and this Tian Gongzi are acquaintances?"
Nuan Yue snorted and said, "It's not an acquaintance, it's just an acquaintance." Saying that, he didn't wait for Zhuo Buzhi to speak, and sat on the chair next to Zhuo Buzhi by himself.
The identity of this little girl is not simple, Tian Zhiyu thought to himself, although it seems that she is Luo Qi's little attendant, but it seems that she has never been afraid of Luo Qi, and now in Zhuo Buzhi's house, she is also unrestrained, if a little attendant, will there be such behavior?
Zhuo Buzhi seemed to be used to it, and then said to Tian Zhiyu: "This little brother, have you really only practiced for two months?
Tian Zhiyu nodded and said, "I only practiced some fist and foot kung fu before, and I really don't know anything about internal force. ”
"Can you let the old man feel your internal strength?"
Tian Zhiyu nodded, got up and walked over to him, and stretched out his hand.
When Zhuo Buzhi tested Tian Zhiyu's internal strength, Tian Zhiyu's face was facing the warm moon, and the two of them were close at hand. He didn't want to keep staring at other girls, but if he turned his face sideways, he would look weak or something, so he had to pretend to be careless, but his eyes stayed on her face.
Although she wore male clothes and deliberately hid her long hair, her appearance was too delicate and her facial features were too delicate for even if she was dressed as a boy, she couldn't hide her appearance.
If a boy really looks like this, what kind of disaster will it be for the country and the people?
Nuan Yue felt his aggressive gaze, and wanted to get up and leave, but felt that doing so seemed to be compromising with this rascal, but it seemed that she was scared. So he sat upright, looking ahead without squinting.
After a while, Zhuo Buzhi let go of Tian Zhiyu's hand and asked again, "You really only practiced internal strength for two months?"
Tian Zhiyu nodded, and Wu Lihan also said: "I can testify that when we first met, he really didn't have any internal strength at all. ”
Zhuo Buzhi looked at Tian Zhiyu with a puzzled face, and said: "Then you are really a martial arts wizard, ordinary martial arts practitioners, to reach your current realm, it will take three or four years to say the least, you only took two months, incredible, incredible." ”
Nuan Yue, who pretended not to care about it, couldn't help but sneak a glance at Tian Zhiyu, and quickly pretended not to squint to look ahead, and said in a low voice: "God has no eyes." ”
"What did you say, Nuanyue?" asked Zhuo Buzhi.
"It's nothing, it's nothing, I said the weather is nice today," Warm Moon hurriedly defended.
Zhuo Buzhi looked at the sky and said, "It's not a bad day, it looks like there will be a heavy snow in a while." If there is no snow in winter, it is time to have one," After speaking, he looked at Tian Zhiyu again and asked, "Then have you ever practiced the corresponding skills?"
Tian Zhiyu nodded and said: "Before practicing internal strength, I practiced some fist and foot kung fu, and after practicing internal strength, I found that these fist and foot kung fu can be well integrated with internal force, so I figured out a set of boxing techniques suitable for myself." ”
Zhuo Buzhi was even more surprised, and said, "Then can you show the old man?" As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to think of something, and changed his words: "Otherwise, how about you learn from my apprentice?" He pointed to Steward Mo beside him.
Tian Zhiyu looked at Steward Mo and saw that he was expressionless, and he didn't know whether he was willing or unwilling, but after this period of cultivation, he needed to learn from others to test how well he learned. Especially the last time he fought against the Beiyi assassins, he found fun from the actual battle.
"If Steward Mo doesn't mind, I'm willing to sacrifice ugliness," Tian Zhiyu said.
Steward Mo hadn't spoken yet, Nuan Yue on the side was quite surprised, she knew that Steward Mo's skills were at least in the middle grade, and he was also a good hand in the rivers and lakes, and Tian Zhiyu had only been practicing for two months, so he dared to fight with Steward Mo, but he didn't expect that he was not only a hooligan, but also a lot of courage.
Also, if you are timid, how can you be a hooligan?" Nuan Yue thought.
Steward Mo looked at Zhuo Buzhi, and then at Tian Zhiyu, and said, "Since the master has an order, the apprentice should accompany him," After speaking, he walked towards the courtyard, and after walking into the courtyard, he asked Tian Zhiyu: "Dare to ask Tian Gongzi what weapons he usually uses?"
"I haven't touched a weapon yet," Tian Zhiyu replied.
"Okay, let's make a gesture with our bare hands. ”
Tian Zhiyu saw that Steward Mo gave him a salute, and he also painted a scoop according to the gourd, and returned the salute, and the two began to fight.
Zhuo Buzhi and the others stood aside and watched, and at first found that Tian Zhiyu was at a disadvantage everywhere, not only could he not keep up with his moves, but his internal strength was not at all Steward Mo's opponent.
Just when Zhuo Buzhi was about to shout to stop, he found that Tian Zhiyu suddenly changed a move, and in an instant, it was like a different person, not only did he have a chance to fight back, but Steward Mo couldn't easily get close to him anymore.
"Seeking the wind in the grass?" said in a low voice.
Nuan Yue had never seen what the Imperial Grass Seeking Wind looked like, but after hearing its name, she couldn't help but ask: "This is the Imperial Grass Seeking Wind?"
Zhuo Buzhi looked at a few more moves, and said, "That's right, this is the Imperial Grass Seeking Wind, how can he know these moves?"
Wu Lihan on the side smiled and explained to the two of them why Tian Zhiyu would be the royal grass and wind of Dalantai, the national division of Beiyi, and after hearing this, both of them felt incredible, which was completely beyond their imagination.
"You mean, he just learned other people's moves just by fighting with the disciples of Dalantai, and he still uses them so well?"
Ulhan nodded and said, "I was very surprised at the time, but it did happen. ”
