Chapter 185: Sword Training
1.
I promised Yu 13 that I would help him find his sister. So, I asked him to stay by my side.
The reason why I did this is because I am afraid that he is reckless in the rivers and lakes, and I don't know when and what kind of danger he encounters, he will lose his life.
Yu 13 asked me, "Why are you helping me?" β
Maybe it's fate. Although we have been together for a short time, I always feel that I have an indescribable wonderful fate with Yu Thirteen. In the dark, I inadvertently saved his life four years ago. Again, four years later, he gave me that life back.
This is providence.
But I didn't answer him that. I told him that I helped you alone, and I never needed a reason.
Yu Shisan silently followed behind me, and after a long time, he suddenly ran up to me, looked at me with a firm gaze, and said, "Can you teach me martial arts?"
I've never taught anyone martial arts. I'm not even sure if I've studied martial arts. I can't tell Yu 13 that my master is a bamboo tube that shoots silver needles and the incoherent villains hanging on the stone walls in the Tinglan Ancient Cave.
I could only refuse, saying, "No." β
Yu 13 refused to give up, he stretched out his hand to block my way, and said, "How can you agree to teach me martial arts?"
I asked, "Why do you want to learn martial arts?"
Yu 13 said: "If I know martial arts, if I can be as powerful as you, my sister will not be taken captive." β
How naΓ―ve and ridiculous such a statement.
I smiled sadly and said, "If that were the case, my daughter would not have been lost, and my wife would not have died." β
"At least you have the ability to find it!" Yu 13 shouted, "and I...... If I didn't have your help, I'm afraid I'll never see my sister again. "The first time the boy showed weakness to me, his eyes were particularly lonely. I thought that he was stubborn and invincible no matter what the difficulties were, but after experiencing the battle of Serpentine Mountain with me, he fully realized my strength and my own shortcomings.
I'm satisfied.
But I still have to refuse. Because, I really don't know how to teach Yu Thirteen martial arts.
The boy's persistent eyes stared at me, choking me back with the words of rejection that came to my lips, and made me unconsciously emit a "good" word from my mouth.
At the moment when he blurted out a "good", Yu Shisantong knelt on the ground and kowtowed at me three times, no matter how I stopped it, I couldn't stop it.
Yu 13 had a bruise mark on his forehead and shouted at me, "Master!"
I said, "Don't call me Master!" because it reminds me of my Master, Chen Bamao. It's not that I don't want to think of Master Bamao, it's just that the stories he left me in his short life always make me feel sad inexplicably.
"Then what am I going to call you?" asked Yu Thirteen, puzzled.
I wanted him to call me "big brother", but I suddenly thought of Li Xiaoqian, and this title was immediately rejected by me. That's when I realized that it was harder to decide on a title than it was for me to change my name.
I helped Yu Shisan, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "I'll tell you when I'm ready." β
Yu Shisan nodded silently, on his face, there was no joy because I promised to teach him martial arts, nor was there any loss because I couldn't say a title. This young man always carried one in his chest
A heart I can't see.

That night, on the way to Lujia Villa, Yu Shisan and I stayed in a tavern.
The taverns in the town, like all the taverns I've experienced in my life, are ordinary and ordinary.
However, the more obscure the shop, the more it hides a unique taste.
Perhaps because of my low mood, I drank a lot that night. It wasn't until I felt that I was weak and everything around me was shaking, that Yu Thirteen walked up to me.
I handed him the cup, filled him with wine, and said, "Have a drink with me." β
Yu 13 looked at the hops floating in the bowl, one after another silently cracked, he shook his head and said, "I never drink alcohol, I only drink water." β
I smiled coldly and said, "Do you know the difference between drinking water and drinking alcohol?"
Yu 13 shook his head and said, "I don't know." β
I picked up the wine cup, my eyes were drunk, and the wine in the cup was like sea water stirring waves in front of my eyes. It took me a great deal of effort to get the throat-burning liquor into my mouth. I said, "When a person's heart feels cold, he must drink." Because, the wine will get warmer and warmer the more you drink, and the water will only get colder the more you drink. β
Yu 13 pushed an empty lamp in front of me and lifted the rustic teapot on the table. The white smoke of hot tea fell into the empty bowl with a "bang-la-la" sound. Yu 13 said: "That's because you drink cold water." β
Yu 13 got up and left, leaving me drunk and confused looking at the white smoke of the tea cup, only to feel more confused......
3.
I've been struggling with how to teach Yu Thirteen martial arts.
Since I promised him, he has always been by my side, and it always feels that it is not so appropriate to do nothing.
The next morning, I woke up from a drunken dream, and Yu Thirteen sat awake in front of me. He said, "Shouldn't we go?"
I looked at the warm rays of sunlight shining through the door into the tavern, the mottled shadows on the ground, and the slightly urging eyes of Yu Thirteen, all of which told me that a new day had begun.
It's just that every day of those days made me feel unusually heavy.
"Boss!" I shouted with heavy eyelids, "check out!"
The young shopkeeper stood in the middle of the counter and answered cheerfully. Immediately, there was a "crackling" sound of the abacus hitting the beads, which disturbed my mind unusually irritable.
I took out a random ingot of silver from my bosom, and when I left Snake Head Mountain, I ransacked the treasury where they hid their money.
I squeezed the silver ingot in my hand and threw it in the direction of the counter. Perhaps because he was drunk and didn't wake up, the force was not very accurately controlled, and the throw hit a little harder. The silver ingots whistled in the air, and the sound of "bang" was embedded in the pillar next to the counter.
The shopkeeper was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground. But when he turned his head to see the silver ingot, which was the size of a fist, the light in his eyes was almost as bright as the sun outside the window.
I said, "No need to look for it!" I said, and pulled Yu Thirteen out of the tavern.
After walking out of the tavern, I suddenly had a plan, and I suddenly became enlightened about teaching Yu Thirteen's martial arts.
I asked, "Do you really want to learn martial arts from me?"
Yu 13 said: "Of course I want to. β
I said, "Learning martial arts from me will cause you a lot of hardship."
Yu 13 said: "I am not afraid of hardship. β
I said, "All right, as long as you can catch the one hundred and thirteen stones thrown out of my hand, I will teach you eleven sword moves." "I rejoice in my wit, so that I can teach the remaining thirteen martial arts according to my own swordsmanship.
I believe that I can become an accomplished teacher.
I can't delay the daytime, and I have to rush to Lujia Villa as soon as possible. If it was really Lu Shi who really didn't die for that secret book, if it was really he who stole the Mokbot Termo Spell. Then, at this time, it is very likely that he has already begun to cultivate the martial arts of that evil sect, and has even become a madman.
If Shu Yao is also in his hands, he is afraid that her situation will be extremely dangerous.
Late at night, Yu Shisan, I and I didn't find an inn and tavern to rest, and the surroundings were deserted, with no villages, and no people.
Yu Thirteen and I rested in a dense wood.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, I decided to let Yu 13 start practicing swordsmanship.
Yu Shisan's face flashed with excitement, he pulled out the dagger from his waist and said to me, "Come on." β
I looked at the dagger in his hand in amazement, it was sharp, but it was too short. I handed the Qingguang Sword to Yu Thirteen and said, "Use my sword." β
Yu Shisan was a little excited, but he hesitated when his hand was about to touch the Qingguang Sword, and he said, "I, I have never used a sword. β
I said, "There are always firsts in life." What I teach you is swordsmanship, and of course you have to practice it with a sword. β
Yu Shisan took the Qingguang Sword with both hands, but the moment the Snow Silver Scabbard landed in his palm, his arm suddenly sank. But Yu Thirteen dragged the sword steadily in an instant, clenched his palm, and said, "This sword is so heavy!"
Is it?
Maybe it's really heavy, but I've been carrying it for a long time, and I'm used to it, so I can't feel its weight anymore.
Yu 13 pulled out the blue light sword, and the soft blue light illuminated Yu 13's fearless face.
I asked him, "Are you ready?"
Yu Thirteen nodded heavily and said, "Come on." β
I picked up a pebble and twisted it between my thumb and middle finger, silently saying in my heart: "Push harder, push harder." Then, with a flick of it, the stone turned into a black shadow and flew out.
"Dang!"
Yu Thirteen swung his sword awkwardly. The stone slammed into the blade of the blue light sword, and a faint spark came out. Yu 13 staggered to his feet, his face full of joy, and shouted at me, "I caught it, I caught it." β
Before he could get excited, a second pebble popped out between my fingers. I saw that Yu Thirteen only caught a stone to show a proud appearance, so when this stone bounced out, it secretly increased a lot of strength.
Although the force I exert is only three points, for a person who does not understand martial arts, there is absolutely no possibility of catching it. But I still vaguely hope that a miracle can happen to Yu Thirteen.
However, instead of hearing the crunch of the stone hitting the blade as I wished, I heard a muffled snort from Yu Thirteen.
With a "bang", the Qingguang Sword fell to the ground, Yu Shisan knelt on one knee, one hand pressed on his chest, and large beads of sweat came out of his forehead.
But I still couldn't see the slightest pain on his face, nor a hint of fear, he just clenched his teeth. After a while, he grabbed the sword from the ground, stood up stubbornly, and said to me, "Come again!"
