In fact, the answer in Bai Ling's mouth and what he thought in his heart are not related to the love in the old man's mouth. Bai Ling thought that if his father and Brother Yang Guxiao could come back alive, what kind of Lao Shizi martial arts would they need, what was the use of being the number one in the world, how could it be compared to the lives of these two dearest relatives, and it was natural to choose the beloved.

The old man was secretly sad for a while, and when he saw that Bai Ling didn't make any moves, he asked, "You little baby, why are you so ignorant, and you can't comfort the old man when he sees him sad?"

Seeing that the old man looked like he was about to coax, Bai Ling held back his disgusting feeling and asked, "Then you can tell me about yourself, why do you ask this question, why do you act so sad, say it to deepen my understanding of you." ”

The old man of Xuanji got Bai Zero's question, and his heart was a lot more relaxed. He has been alone for decades, and it is the greatest pleasure to be able to confide in others. At the moment, he did not shy away from telling his own affairs, "The old man was originally a Qianjimen person, he learned martial arts in the door since he was a child, not to brag about it here, I am talented in playing a small game, and I will learn the martial arts of Qianjimen, and I will be able to integrate the recruits, and I have won the championship for dozens of consecutive colonels." Later, when he grew older, he opened the eyes of heaven to create his own flowing water and swordsmanship, and he was already the first master of Qianjimen before he was forty, and the name of the old man's "Thousand Jimen Tiger" resounded throughout the rivers and lakes, but he was not a vegetarian. ”

Bai Ling had no doubts about what he said, and had already vaguely guessed that the old man in front of him was a martial arts master. But I didn't expect him to be so powerful and have a deep relationship with Qianjimen. The old man Xuanji was surprised to see Bai Ling, his face showed smugness, and he continued, "At that time, I was the only one in the scenery inside the door. Do you know that the current head Duan Zhizhi is my nephew, and the deputy head Nalan Que is my junior disciple, and the sect masters of the various sects you see now were just little ghosts as big as you back then. ”

Bai Ling was surprised, "You are still Nalan Que's master, I heard Jian Ke say that Nalan Que was his master, so I am separated from you by many generations." The old man Xuanji smiled, "Yes, then you should call me Master Zu." Bai Ling said disdainfully, "No, no, although that Jian Ke taught me light skills, he didn't officially accept me as an apprentice." ”

The old man said, "Hmph, it's just right to confiscate. When the old man was in power, the sword was just a baby who was still wrapped in diapers, what ability did he have to accept apprentices. The old man always liked to praise himself from time to time between his words, and when Bai Ling heard it, he automatically filtered out these words of praise, and squeezed him, "Then if you are so powerful, why are you now in this dark and damp cave?"

The old man explained, "This has to mention the biggest hatred in my life. Speaking of this, the white-haired old man's body trembled slightly, and he seemed to be a little excited. After a pause to calm down, he continued, "Back then, I was successful in martial arts, married a wife and had children, and I should have achieved success. But in order to win the position of the head of the house, the power was consumed and killed my wife. ”

The old man stood up, looked at the pond in front of him, and said, "My wife asked me this sentence the day before my head competition: If you choose between the number one name in the world and the person you love, which one do you choose?" I didn't quite understand the meaning of her words at the time, and my mouth was vague, but in fact, I only had the position of head in my head. ”

"Who expected that in the end, the head of the house was not captured, and my family was ruined. Speaking of this, the white-haired old man recalled the past, and two lines of turbid tears remained. After a long while, he continued, "My wife was so disappointed in me that she left a farewell letter and committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake. The old man searched the lakes all over the mountain, but still searched to no avail. I guess she must have thrown the jade dragon out of the water and died in order to make it impossible for me to save me. So in a hurry, I broke through the jade dragon out of the water barrier and searched for it in every possible way. I couldn't find it in the level, so I went down the water in the level, but I didn't find it, but I found this cave. The old man was extremely sad, but he was unwilling to give up, so he settled here, just to find his wife's body, who knew that this search was more than 30 years old. ”

From the old man's words, Bai Ling felt how hard the events of the year hit him. Bai Ling asked, "Jie Wai, what happened to your child?" The old man Xuanji said, "The old man's name is Jinfei, and his surname is Guo Zi, what do you say?" Bai Ling quickly went through the relevant people and things in his mind, and called out with a sigh, "Are you Mr. Guo Liangyu's father?"

The old man said. "The kid is quite clever, I entrusted the child to the Ge family brothers who worked for Qianjimen, and set up a wooden house downstream of this waterhole. I was ashamed of my wife and I didn't see each other facelessly, but I would still sneak a look at him from time to time, my child didn't know martial arts, and I didn't notice it for so many years. ”

Bai Ling thought it was no wonder that when he talked about Mr. Guo earlier, this old man would have such a big reaction. Who would have thought that the septuagenarian in front of him would have such a great relationship with Qianjimen.

Bai Ling suddenly said curiously, "Didn't you call that 'Thousand Machine Gate Tiger' in the past, but now why do you call yourself the old man Xuanji." The old man smiled and said, "My son is known as a virtuous man in the world, what is he called, what is the smartest person in the world, how can he be stupid to be Lao Tzu? ”

"It turns out that this title is self-appointed by this old boy. Hearing this, Bai Ling generally understood the ins and outs of the old man, so he stood up, moved his arm, and walked to the edge of the pond with the intention of swimming downstream. The old man shouted, "What are you doing, boy, I've been telling stories for so long, and you left without letting a fart go?"

Bai Ling said, "Since the old man mentioned that the downstream is Mr. Guo's residence, then it's right for me to swim out from here." The meeting is fate, and the old man's life experience is also quite moving, but what does it have to do with me, the kid still hurried back to Qianjimen to do chores. ”

This mysterious old man finally came to talk to him, and he was able to express his heartfelt feelings, and he was in a happy mood. Unexpectedly, Bai Ling was about to leave after hearing this, and said hurriedly, "You kid doesn't learn martial arts, just with your current three-legged cat's kung fu, isn't it still for people to play with the applause when you return to the Thousand Machine Gate?"

Bai Ling yawned and said lazily, "Since the old man is unwilling to teach me, why should I waste time here." The old man hurriedly replied, "Teach, who said not to teach, you turn around, I will teach you." ”

Bai Ling felt funny, pretended not to be very willing, turned around, and said, "Okay, let's talk about how to teach, my talent is very poor, but it's not easy to teach." ”

The old man Xuanji said, "You can rest assured, I just said that there are many ways to learn and succeed, not to mention that I am a master here." I saw your body method before and recognized it, and light gong is indeed my vein. My "flowing water" body method is extremely ingenious, you can change your posture at will, no matter how strong his martial arts are, how deep his internal strength is, it is not in vain if you can't hit it. It's great that you can practice so much at such a young age. But you can only practice half of this light gong in the end, if you can practice the "high mountain strength" and combine the two into one to become the "high mountain flowing water" Dafa, then your light gong can also be worthy of the first place in the world. ”

Bai Ling only listened to Jian Ke teach himself to "Flowing Water Decision", and never thought that there was a "high mountain strength". The old man Xuanji saw what Bai Ling was thinking, and said, "The one who is called Jian Cao has no reservations about you. I think that when I created my own "flowing water decision" method, at that time, light power was already one of the best in the world. Later, when I came to the cave, I was bored and created this mountain skill, so the high mountain strength is not what Nalan lacks, and the sword is not able to pass on to you. ”

Bai Ling asked, "The Flowing Water Determination is already so powerful, so what about this mountain strength." The old man smiled, very proud. He painstakingly created such a set of magic skills in the cave, and he has always been the only one who appreciates himself, and his interest has indeed decreased greatly, and now a small audience can let himself show off, how not to make him happy.

The old man Xuanji said, "The essence of the flowing water is the trick of dodging, no matter where the enemy moves from, you can dodge it in various ways, so that the other party will return in vain." But Gao Shan Jin is different, Gao Shan Jin is more particular about reading words and following words. As soon as the enemy moves, you know where the opponent will attack and how you need to move. Looking at the word formula and following the word formula complement each other, making the mountain strength extremely powerful, how can ordinary people catch it. If it is combined with the "Flowing Water Decision" and cooperates with each other, then this mountain and flowing water Dafa, you say that it is not powerful. If you learn this set of exercises, attack first, and deal with it on time, if you don't want to fight, turn around and run away, then who can keep you. ”

Bai Ling flattered two sentences, "This mountain and flowing water Dafa has a degree of offense and defense, and it is really the first light skill in the past and present." Hearing Bai Ling's praise, the old man laughed happily. Bai Ling saw that this old man had a cheerful and innocent personality, and he couldn't help but feel close.

Speaking of light skills, the old man began to explain the swordsmanship, "If you don't have enough internal strength, you naturally don't want to learn fist kung fu." As I said earlier, the best thing for you is to learn the sword. When it comes to swordsmanship, in your opinion, what is the best swordsmanship?"

Bai Ling didn't know much about martial arts moves, but he had seen Jian Ke's amazing swordsmanship with his own eyes. So he said, "But the moves are subtle and varied?" said the old man, "I did think so more than thirty years ago, and I taught my disciples like this. But after meditating for years in this cave, I realized that it was not right at all. The real swordsmanship, that is, a sword stabbing the enemy to the vital point and sending him back to the west, the kind of complicated sword moves that go back and forth to fight back and forth is really ridiculous. ”

The old man Xuanji picked up the branch, scratched it on the ground, and said, "The swordsmanship I taught Nalan Que kid back then was created by me in the first half of my life, and it is called the Wuxiang Swordsmanship. The full set of swordsmanship has a total of 9981 moves, and there are more than 400 kinds of backhand changes. Nalan Que, this kid, spent five full years in order to master this swordsmanship. ”

Bai Ling thought to himself that Nalan Que was a sword master, and he was in the same vein as the old man's kung fu, and it turned out that they had been using the phaseless swordsmanship.

"Back then, Nalan Que relied on this unphased sword technique to beat the invincible opponents of the Sword Sect, and sat on the position of the sect master of the Sword Sect in one fell swoop. Thinking that this person called Jian Cao can get the name of the first swordsman in the rivers and lakes, it also depends on this. ”

"After a few years in this cave, I have simplified this whole set of swordsmanship and created another set of swordsmanship. Now that he has practiced the Dafa of Mountains and Flowing Water, he has done a lot of sword moves and changes. I have ten swordsmanship moves now, all of which are killing moves. When encountering the enemy, he only takes the vital points, and has no way to speak of it. ”

After speaking, the old man Xuanji demonstrated with a tree branch. Although he is holding a non-sword, his moves are subtle and ferocious, even more so than a sword. I saw that this set of swordsmanship only took people's eyes, throat, heart, and lower yin and other key points, and it was really ruthless. The old man Xuanji finished demonstrating the ten moves after a while, and said, "As long as you practice the Dafa of Mountains and Flowing Water, these ten sword moves will be completely natural." And the sword moves are vicious and dangerous, and you can use them for revenge. ”

Bai Ling kept nodding when he heard this, and then he followed suit and danced on the branches. Dancing and dancing, Bai Ling suddenly asked, "Then does this set of swordsmanship have a name?" The old man Xuanji thought for a while and said, "I haven't chosen a name before, or it's called the ruthless swordsmanship." ”

Ruthless swordsmanship, the name is straightforward. Bai Ling didn't know if this old man was referring to this swordsmanship being extremely ruthless to the enemy, or if he was alluding to his ruthlessness towards his wife back then. I didn't think much about it at the moment, since the best martial arts were in the front, it was necessary to practice well, so I recited silently in my heart, and gradually used the sword technique completely.

The old man Xuanji looked at Bai Ling's sword dance, dictating the mantra from time to time and giving detailed instructions, only one or two back and forth, Bai Ling practiced the whole set of Gaoshan Gong and ruthless swordsmanship. The old man secretly praised the kid in his heart, if it weren't for the limitations of his internal strength, he would have become a generation of martial arts masters in the future.

After practicing two back and forth, Bai Ling felt that his internal strength could not keep up, he was out of breath, and his movements of his hands and feet slowed down, knowing that it was caused by his internal strength stagnation. I just wanted to stop and rest, but suddenly felt the internal force behind me pouring in, and I couldn't say how happy I was. Bai Ling turned his head and looked, it turned out that the old man was injecting internal force into himself and helping him practice. Bai Ling only felt a shock in his spirit, his fatigue was greatly reduced, and he immediately began to practice again as soon as he posed. After that, as long as Bai Ling was tired, the old man Xuanji gave him his internal force, so he practiced twice the result with half the effort, as if the internal force was endless.

The two of them, one old and one young, one teaching and one learning, practiced martial arts together in this cave. The old man has no one to accompany him for more than 30 years, and finally a lively teenager has come to relieve his boredom. And this little has martial arts masters to guide the practice, and there is no longer any external disturbance, which is also in line with his wishes. Although the cave environment is cold and dark, for the two, they have enjoyed a rare happy time recently. In this way, in addition to sleeping and chatting, the two are practicing. When you are hungry, you can pick some wild fruits to satisfy your hunger, and you can often mix your mouth twice, and you will be happy.

Months passed in a hurry. Summer turns to autumn. One day, Bai Ling practiced the mountain and flowing water Dafa and the ruthless sword technique from beginning to end, only to feel that his heart was extremely fast, and a long howl came out of his throat. The whistling sound pierced through the top of the cave, startling countless birds. The old man Xuanji was very happy to see this scene, and said secretly, "It only takes a few months to practice the two stunts created by the old man to this point, the kid is really smart, but it also shows that the old man's apprentice is also a must." ”

Bai Ling knew that he could make such progress, and it all depended on this old man to spare no internal strength and tirelessly help himself practice. His heart was agitated and he was extremely grateful, so he knelt down and kowtowed, "Old man, no, Master, please accept the apprentice!" This mysterious old man was very happy to receive such a teenage apprentice in his old age, but he wanted to argue two sentences, "Don't be proud, boy, you are still 108,000 miles away from the old man." ”

The two looked at each other and laughed, and suddenly the sword went with him, picked up the branch and slashed at it. The two are familiar with each other's martial arts, and they are both generally proficient. In an instant, the two of them became faster and faster, like two whirlwinds. Bai Ling pointed at the old man's throat with a move, and the old man pointed at Bai Ling's eyes with a move. It's all fast, accurate, ruthless, and spicy. When the move is approaching, both sides use flowing water to dodge, and then use Gao Shan Jin to judge the opponent's move, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack. The two have practiced against each other many times like this, and they are hearty. After fighting for a while, Bai Ling was unable to sustain due to internal strength, and said loudly, "No, no, no, I admit defeat." ”

The old man stopped his sword moves, thinking that this kid is now good at light and external skills, but this internal skill is dragged down by the tendons, which is a pity. Twisted beard thought for a while, and said, "Bai Ling boy, I have watched you for a long time, although your internal strength has not made any progress so far, but I am sure that this half of the meridians are not incurable. ”

Bai Ling lay on the ground and gasped, "Okay, then old man, you can tell me how to cure it." The old man Xuanji said, "I said that I can't cure it, but I once heard that Mo Yanzi, the ancestor of the Qianjimen Creation School, was also a person who could only do external skills. So there must be a solution to this. ”

Bai Ling said, "Thank you for your comfort, in fact, the more I practice martial arts, the more I know the condition of my body, no matter how I practice, there is no sign of vitality in my muscles, and I must be dying thoroughly." ”

The old man couldn't think about it, so he changed the topic and said, "Boy, let's be in this cave for a long time, a little depressed, we have nothing to do today, let's go downstream with me to take a look." ”
