Chapter 33: Another Three Years
Li Zimu stood in place, pestle there like a stake.
The master who was in charge of the spoon was not pleased, so he came over with the spoon and said, "I am talking to you! You didn't hear me!" The master tried to pluck his ears with his hand.
Li Zimu instinctively went to hide, no matter how hard the master in charge of the spoon tried, he couldn't catch Li Zimu. The angry master picked up the big spoon in his hand and was about to smash it at Li Zimu, and kept scolding and saying in his mouth: "I let you hide, I want to smash your head!"
Li Zimu instinctively fought back, just leaning lightly, knocking the huge master to the ground.
The master who was in charge of the spoon sat on the ground and shouted, "Killed, killed!"
The shopkeeper's inquiry came from the counter, looking at the master who fell to the ground and Li Zimu who was standing in place.
The master said: "Shopkeeper, I can't do this job! I am tired and tired every day, not to mention, I have to suffer from this miscellaneous anger!"
The shopkeeper didn't know what was going on, but he had already decided in his heart that in his opinion, how could a fifteen-year-old child fall a huge master to the ground?
The shopkeeper first scolded Li Zimu, and then said to the master: "Master Sun, get up quickly! I also know that it is not easy for you, I have increased this salary for you, work first!"
Hearing this, the master who was originally aggrieved got up as if he was fine.
The shopkeeper saw that Li Zimu was a child, walked up to Li Zimu and said: "You were introduced by Lao Shen, no matter what, I should give Lao Shen a face, so now I will show you what your daily work is." ”
The shopkeeper rolled up his sleeves, and Li Zimu followed behind him in a daze, watching the shopkeeper's every move.
Fortunately, Li Zimu has a fast learning ability, and soon he learned all the work in this tavern.
Li Zimu is young, and he doesn't like to be lazy like Shen Sanjian, so he fell in love with this "fifteen-year-old" boy after two days of shopkeepers.
When it was time to settle the salary again, the shopkeeper said to Li Zimu: "I'll tell you, you have to save money in the future, so that you can go to your daughter-in-law!"
Li Zimu was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "What is saving money, and what is marrying a daughter-in-law?"
The shopkeeper sighed, shook his head and left, Shen Sanjian has worked for seven years here, and he also understands what kind of person Shen Sanjian is, and he also wants the hard-working boy in front of him to be able to live better in the future.
Li Zimu would fly home every time he took the sword, and on the way he thought, why can't I practice swords on the road? After speaking, Li Zimu broke off a branch from the side, and slowly stroked his own moves when practicing swords, and slowly became more and more proficient. Inspired by the practice of swords while Edgeworth was flying, Li Zimu was out of control from then on, and he would also incorporate the lessons he had learned into his work when he was working.
Shen Sanjian has lived a comfortable life since then, but when Li Zimu comes back, he will also work overtime to teach what he has learned all his life.
The days passed day by day, and three years passed in the blink of an eye.
Three years have passed, and Li Zimu is seventeen years old this year, and he has grown into a young man.
Shen Sanjian has lived a very comfortable life in the past three years, but he has not been idle, in these three years, Shen Sanjian has traveled to many places, because he wants to find an iron ore and build a sword for Li Zimu himself.
On the other hand, Li Zimu is seventeen years old and still uses a wooden sword, although he changes one a year, but the wooden sword is a wooden sword after all.
In the past three years, although Li Zimu has challenged Shen Sanjian many times, his best result is one trick. Shen Sanjian can be described as an old treacherous and cunning, every time Li Zimu challenges it, he will have one more move next time. In the past three years, Li Zimu has been improving, and he has been challenging Shen Sanjian, and now he has to catch Shen Sanjian's five hundred and fifteen moves to win.
On this day, Li Zimu, as usual, came back from work at the tavern and came home to prepare for cooking.
Shen Sanjian suddenly shouted: "Apprentice, I am looking for you for the teacher, you come out!"
Li Zimu held the bowl in one hand, came out and said, "Old man, what's the matter, I'm cooking!" Since Li Zimu worked in the tavern for a year, he understood that Shen Sanjian was cheating on him again! For him, his usual work was boring and he didn't feel tired, let alone Shen Sanjian, who was deeply cultivated! He understood that Shen Sanjian was not tired at all, he deliberately lied to himself, just like he had deceived himself into cooking, even so, Li Zimu still decided to work in the tavern, he had already liked the people and things here, but since then, he called Shen Sanjian from the master to the old man.
"Apprentice, I haven't competed for a long time, why don't you dare to challenge me?"
Li Zimu turned around and was about to go back to the kitchen, and said in his mouth: "Come on! I can't pass five hundred and fifteen moves under you, and if I challenge it again today, I just increase the number of tricks in vain, and there is no point in doing so." ”
Li Zimu has not challenged Shen Sanjian for a long time, and in the first two years, Li Zimu had to challenge Shen Sanjian almost every day, and sometimes even twice. Having experienced many failures, he understands that if people want to achieve something, they can't be too rushed. At that time, he felt that the wooden sword was too cheap, and he just wanted to have a sword of his own. At that time, he only had how to get the sword in his eyes, and he had nothing else in his heart.
After working in the tavern for a long time, Li Zimu saw the best people in shape, and his heart became more and more. He understands that if he wants to win Shen Sanjian, he must accumulate a lot of money!
Shen Sanjian saw that Li Zimu was so unmotivated, so he took out a long sword and a short dagger and shook them in front of Li Zimu.
Li Zimu originally wanted to go back to the kitchen, but was flashed by the silver light on this sword. Li Zimu stopped, turned his head, and looked at the sword stupidly.
Shen Sanjian saw that Li Zimu was so obsessed, so he said, "Do you want it?"
"I want it, why don't I want it? I want it in my dreams!"
"It's very simple! as long as you can go through five hundred and fifteen moves with me, you can get it!"
Originally, Li Zimu was still sensible, but when he saw this sword, he couldn't restrain himself anymore, Li Zimu said to Shen Sanjian: "Old man, can you let me see the sword first?"
Shen Sanjian threw the sword and dagger to Li Zimu, who first stuck the dagger in his waist and held the sword with both hands.
"Hey, hey, hey, you haven't won yet, how can you put it in your waist?"
Li Zimu ignored him, continued to observe the sword, from the head of the sword to the tail of the sword, looked carefully, and when he pulled out the sword, a cold light forced by.
Li Zimu put the sword into the scabbard, threw it to Shen Sanjian along with the dagger on his waist, and said, "Old man, you can help me save the sword first, and I will come to get the sword immediately!"
At this time, Li Zimu challenged Shen Sanjian the most motivated time in a year, but unexpectedly, Shen Sanjian threw the sword to Li Zimu again and said, "You use this sword, I use the Danyang sword!"
Immediately, Shen Sanjian shouted: "The sword is coming!" The Danyang sword fell into the hand of the one on his body from a distance.
Li Zimu said: "Old man, aren't you bullying people? Use a divine weapon like the Danyang Sword to deal with me, let me use the sword without a spirit!"
Hearing this, Shen Sanjian suddenly showed a very deep expression, and said, "Then let me ask you, do you like this sword in your hand, will you cherish it?"
Hearing Shen Sanjian say this, Li Zimu suddenly felt that the sword in his hand was heavy, and he suddenly thought of how he had treated his wooden sword before, and he felt a strong sense of guilt in his heart!
"Disciple! Which of the divine soldiers in the human world is not fed with the aura of a cultivator? Only in this way can the sword in my hand be the most suitable for me! I think that at the beginning, before the master entrusted the Danyang Sword to me, I didn't understand this truth, at that time, I thought that the sword was a tool, but the moment I took over the Danyang Sword, I understood that the sword in my hand was by no means a simple tool, it was more like a loyal partner!"
"I see, old man, draw your sword!"
Shen Sanjian turned around, made a look at his expression, and said, "I'm really not good at pretending to be deep!" Immediately, he changed back to his own deep expression.
"Apprentice, even if you let the horse come, you don't have to feel that the master is old and show mercy!"
"Old man, you still need to say it!" Before the sound arrived, the sword arrived first.
Shen Sanjian said angrily: "I haven't said to start yet!"
Li Zimu didn't listen to what he said, but kept shouting: "Nine moves, ten moves......"
"Little bunny, let me tell you, this doesn't count!"
Shen Sanjian also witnessed Li Zimu's growth in the past ten years, and he didn't dare to be careless, looking at Li Zimu's figure, Shen Sanjian suddenly thought of his unstoppable appearance when he was seventeen years old.
In the first four hundred and fifty moves, the two of them fought evenly and Li Zimu did not have the upper hand, but at the time of the four hundred and fifty-first moves, Li Zimu made a small mistake, and the experienced Shen Sanjian just caught this mistake and magnified it infinitely, causing Li Zimu to start to be at a disadvantage!
Shen Sanjian attacked Li Zimu's left side with another sword-winged swimming dragon, and Li Zimu's sword-holding wrist was really kicked by Shen Sanjian.
Li Zimu wanted to use the sword to defend too late, seeing that he was about to lose, Li Zimu was in a hurry to cook the dagger placed not far away and blocked the blow!
"Fool, I didn't teach you this!"
Li Zimu didn't dare to speak, but he still tried his best to deal with the body in front of him.
When it came to five hundred and fourteen moves, the swords of both men suddenly pointed at each other. Seeing this scene, Shen Sanjian smiled and said, "Congratulations to you stupid apprentice, you are out of school!"
Both men simultaneously withdrew their swords pointing at each other and put them in their scabbards.
Li Zimu carefully looked at the sword in his hand and said, "Old man, what is the name of this sword?"
Shen Sanjian put his hands behind his back, revealing a look that was not easy and extremely difficult, and said: "This is what I built with my own hands, do you know how difficult it is? You look at this material, you look at the workmanship, you look at the ......."
"Okay, okay, I'm just asking what it's called, why are you talking so much?" Li Zimu interrupted Shen Sanjian and said.
"I haven't chosen a name yet! ”
Li Zimu carefully examined the sword again, raised it to the sky, and shouted, "In the future, you will call Xue Jian!"
