Gengzi, the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the day of the people. Up and down the mountain, goose feathers and snow are flying all over the sky. Ren Pingsheng, Wu Chunmang did not change the wind and snow, and still went to Guchen Village to teach swords.

Hou Shangshan and Chen Qi stayed on the mountain. Chen Qi practiced swordsmanship, although he was extremely nervous, but after all, the time was still short, and he could not travel back and forth between the mountain villa and Guchen Village in one day. On Chinese New Year's Eve last year, after Shi Yuqing left the villa, it was mainly Hou Shangshan and Wu Chunmang who took turns feeding her swords and fists.

In fact, as early as the end of last year, more than a dozen young men and women had already practiced a set of Tai Chi swords. What is lacking is just the purity of the strength accumulated over time and the refining of the sword intent.

So during the period before and after the year, Ren Pingsheng was teaching them Tai Chi all his life. Boxing and swordsmanship are not only the same principle, but also can confirm each other. The skills accumulated by practicing boxing and swordsmanship can eventually lead to the same end.

At the beginning, starting with swordsmanship was a practice of putting the cart before the horse. The fledgling sword, how long does it take for others to learn and practice, Ren Pingsheng didn't have a score in his heart at the beginning. In addition, at the beginning of spring, he was going to leave Yaoshan and go to Fangliang Dao Academy, and the time to really be able to pass on his art here was actually only a few months. Therefore, at the beginning, we did not adopt the sequential and gradual method of practicing boxing first and then practicing swords.

But in this way, it gave these students a preconceived swordsman's temperament, and they did not subconsciously think that they were just a martial artist who could use swords. The two seem to be the same, but in fact, the upper limit of the future in swordsmanship will be very different.

The students are practicing boxing, and there is already a bit of a scene of flowing water and running through together. The teacher is staring at the middle of the field, distracted and absent-minded.

Today will be the last time he will teach boxing and swords here. When I come back in the future, I don't know how many of these heroic teenagers are still practicing boxing and swordsmanship?

At that time, can the ten swords that I have forged with all my heart and soul be given away?

With Ren Pingsheng's attitude towards swords, swords are matched with chivalrous, if the other party can't even afford a chivalrous word, those sharp weapons containing the spirit of heaven and earth might as well stay in Qujian Villa and eat ashes.

The dozen or so teenagers who were sweating profusely were either walking on their own piles and shelves, or catching and feeding fists and swords. Wu Chunmang was on the scene to help check and fill in the gaps, and occasionally gave one or two pointers. It was a hot scene. It's just that all of a sudden, everyone seems to have been hit by the immobilization method, and they all stopped practicing and stood on the spot, and most of them were still on the shelf with their fists flowing.

Mr. Chen Lezhong, the school, was the only one who was still practicing sword moves at a glance, and when he saw everyone like this, he stopped his sword moves in surprise. It was only then that he noticed the vast meadow in the distance outside the village, and between the straight skyline, a small cloud of smoke and dust was raised inconspicuous.

As the smoke approached, a white "cloud" appeared on the meadow. The cloud, driven by a few fast-moving black dots, was drifting towards the ancient city village.

Ren Pingsheng was relieved and nodded secretly.

These young men who were the first to learn swords, even before they saw their images and heard their voices, they sensed abnormal movements in the distance.

This is the fist intent and sword intent, and there is a hint of opportunity to merge with heaven and earth!

Chen Kucheng's eyes suddenly filled with anger, staring closely at the "white clouds" whose appearance gradually became clearer; three high-headed young men drove the sheep to Guchen Village.

Helian Shu, Sha Lan, Man Xiyuan, and the three Langziya teenagers drove the sheep to the forage field in the village, and hurried to the martial arts training ground. The first time I saw the heroic martial arts training of this group of swordsmen in Guchen Village, the three of them were a little dizzying.

Although they have all stopped practicing, after all, they are descendants, and the style of standing there can stabilize their last school and advance.

"Helian Shu, what are you trying to do?" Chen Kucheng stared at Helian Shu and said coldly, "It's itchy skin, you want to find someone to feed the sword?"

Sha Lan and Man Xiyuan were so frightened that they cowered and didn't dare to move forward. Helian Shu was a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and said with a ruffian: "Brother Kucheng, you brothers, teach us hard to teach swords, everyone knows this, and they know that you don't care about this." But our men in Langziya can't be untrustworthy. This is not for Gu Chen Village, not for the brothers. ”

Chen Kucheng put his hands around his chest, and the oil and salt did not enter, "Don't interrupt, just say it, what do you want to do?"

This will seem to be a righteous and strict Chen Kucheng, but in fact, he is also weak-hearted. The teacher has repeatedly emphasized that the gang in Langziya, making friends with him and Chen Tianshi, and the five of them will teach, and they can't be allowed to come to Guchen Village to learn swords. Helian Shu, a guy who is not too big, actually went straight to the martial arts training ground in this way, how could he Chen Kucheng explain to the teacher?

Chen Tianshi and Chen Tianjin, who have always dreamed of worshipping Teacher Ren's lineage, are even more angry. If it weren't for Teacher Ren's presence, the two brothers would definitely have to say nothing and beat up these three guys who don't know whether they are alive or dead.

It's just that if Teacher Ren wasn't there, there would be no such thing.

Helian Shu broke the jar and said loudly, "It's all my idea, those two guys were forced by me to help drive the sheep." Now that I've practiced swordsmanship, I just want to see Teacher Ren, and after this incident, you can beat me as much as you want. ”

Helian Shu's eyes spun around quickly on everyone, and the look on his face became more and more disappointed. In the end, the descendant of the Helian clan, who fought the most fiercely, almost cried and said with a sad face: "Could it be that Teacher Ren has stopped teaching swords?"

The pestle here are all young men and women of average size, so what kind of sword dao immortals are there like fairy wind bones!

The teacher didn't see it, but Brother Kucheng's fist and wooden sword really hurt when they hit his body.

Ren Pingsheng looked up and down which guy had nothing to love, slowly stood up on the sidelines, and said lightly: "I am Ren Pingsheng, say, what are you looking for me?"

Helian Shu was overjoyed at first when he heard this, but he immediately came down and said with a wry smile: "Brother, today's luck is not good, so don't be sarcastic, okay?"

Chen Kucheng and the teenagers looked strange, rubbing their noses and pinching their mouths, all sorts of things, they all held back very hard, but they didn't laugh.

Ren Pingsheng didn't think it was upset, and said with a smile, "Then tell me, what is the matter with Teacher Ren?"

Helian Shu seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, and he didn't let go, "You talk, isn't it more effective than Brother Kucheng?"

Ren Pingsheng nodded, "It works, let's say it." ”

Helian Shu turned his head to look at Chen Kucheng, who didn't know what his expression was, in short, he didn't have much murderous energy. He looked a lot more relaxed, and shouted loudly: "They all say that they are from the same door, why can't we come here and learn swords from Teacher Ren?"

"Because I don't have much time to teach swords here. Today is the last day. Ren Pingsheng said calmly, "So you can learn from Chen Kucheng and them, it will only be better than following me halfway." Besides, what I'm teaching now is based on their foundations. For you, pulling out the seedlings to help them grow is counterproductive. ”

Helian Shu's eyes were so wide that they almost fell out of their sockets, but he still said with a suspicious face: "Are you really Teacher Ren?"

"It's like a fake. ”

Helian Shu looked around with a verifying look, only to find that many guys who were holding back a bad smile before had the expression of a dead father and mother at this time. The younger ones are already rolling in their eyes. He finally confirmed that this young teacher Ren was real.

This is his last day teaching swords, and I'm afraid it's true!

Ren Pingsheng didn't pay attention to the overwhelmed guy, his eyes swept over the faces of the dozen or so students one by one, and said slowly: "I haven't had it before."

I told everyone that I was leaving, because I was afraid that it would affect everyone's sword practice. As the saying goes, the master brings in the door, and the practice is in the individual. The way of fist and sword, it is all like this. So even if I can't come often, you don't have to worry about making mistakes. In the future, the level of kendo achievements will depend on yourself. The next time we meet, I hope that everyone here today still has a sword in their hands and a sword in their hearts. Or, many years later, when the rivers and lakes reunite, some of you no longer have a sword in your hand, but the sword is between heaven and earth. ”

Ren Pingsheng searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, and he really couldn't think of too many words of comfort. Reasoning to a group of half-grown children, he is not good at it in the first place. After all, Ren Pingsheng himself has just turned sixteen years old, and he is just a big child. It's just that the mind is precocious, and it is very different from its peers.

"Teacher, when are you coming back?" asked a little girl with a clawed voice.

Since Chen Qi was brought back to the mountain gate by the teacher, all the female students have combed their horns and braids. It's a pity that no one has gotten the same good luck as Chen Qi because of this hairstyle.

Ren Pingsheng was speechless for a while. When it comes to Anvil Mountain, there are so many things to do. It's hard to say when I'll be able to come and see this group of students again.

Helian Shu suddenly held his head high and said with a resolute face: "Teacher, if you want to walk the rivers and lakes, can you take me with you." I, Helian Shu, walk fast, am not afraid of death, let alone tired, and will never hold the teacher back. ”

In the eyes of the hot-blooded young man, a powerful swordsman should of course crisscross the rivers and lakes, roaring back and forth, killing decisively, and being happy to take revenge.

Li Sancun, who has never liked to stand out, came out of the crowd with a small voice, "Teacher, whether it is going up the mountain or walking the rivers and lakes, I also want to go to ......"

The momentum of hanging his head and covering his chest lost a lot to Helian Shu. This is the firm look under the same dust as the light, which will only be more determined.

Then there is Mo Dengming, Chen Tianshi hides behind the crowd, and has been sneakily teaching his younger brother Chen Tianjin what is appropriate. It's just that the younger brother with that tendon doesn't seem to be able to get in the oil and salt, so anxious that the elder brother, who is less than an hour older, almost jumps and beats people. In the end, the two brothers pushed each other to Ren Pingsheng, and subconsciously took a few steps back together.

Chen Tianshi hoped that his younger brother could stay at home, and he would take a look at the wind and rain in the rivers and lakes for him first, and the world was dangerous.

The students first talked about their own words, and they all hoped to become the disciples of the mountain sect selected by the teacher. After a few moments, it was out of control, and everyone scrambled and shouted.

The lonely figure of the tall young man Chen Kucheng stood silently behind his fellow door who was enthusiastically moving forward, silent.

Ren Pingsheng raised his hand in vain, indicating that everyone was quiet, as for how many people would be happy and how many people would be disappointed by the next words, he didn't plan to think too much, and said bluntly: "I can choose three people from among you, and go to Yaoshan to cultivate with Chen Qi and Wu Chunmang." In addition, I will choose three or four more people to follow me over the boundary mountain to the boundary of Qingping Prefecture, and I will personally teach swordsmanship in the future. But whether I stay here, stay in Yaoshan, or go to another state with me, I will try my best to take care of it, so as not to favor one over the other. ”

The next step is to draw down the conditions for selection, first of all, of course, the physical foundation, which can already adapt to the severe cold of the medicine mountain, or can independently cross the boundary mountain. The first assessment was very unexpected, it turned out to be a circle on the ground with a radius of no more than four feet, Chen Kucheng stood in the circle, and the others entered the circle one by one to rub their hands with him and ask questions. Within a fixed period of time, the one who forced Chen Kucheng out of the circle the most times, or the least out of the circle himself, won.

Among this group of students, Chen Kucheng's fist intent and sword intent were the most refined. So everyone knows that it is almost impossible to force that guy out of the circle, so he can only try to protect himself and try to get out of the circle as little as possible.

The second is to test the heart of the person, and the first choice is to have the talent of being a teacher. In this regard, the top 12 people were selected from the first round of competition, and handed over to Chen Lezhong of the school for assessment, and the final six to seven people were selected.

As for the talent of kendo, it is not within the scope of the assessment.
