Fengyu and Hua Zizi's room was in a courtyard, and the two of them were sitting in the courtyard chatting, but after all, Fengyan and Fengyu reunited after a long absence, and they still had a lot to say in their hearts, but he was a little in awe of the flower fairy, so he pulled Jiang Xiaobai and came over. Jiang Xiaobai also missed Fengyu, so he came with him without saying a word, and when Hua Zizi saw the two, she retreated to the room with interest.

Fengyu was very happy, sitting in the middle of the two of them and asking questions, pouring out the pain of parting, the three of you said a word to me, the time passed quickly, and the sky was bright in a flash.

Although Fengyu was reluctant, she still followed Hua Zizi, and because Hua Zizi's cultivation was suppressed, the two of them could only ride the Longlin horse down the mountain.

Jiang Xiaobai led everyone to ride the dragon lin horse, and sent them out of the covered area of the scattered yuan blood mist, until the two of them rushed to the sky and disappeared into the sky, and then sighed: "It seems that I should also go." ”

Madam Jade also let out a long sigh and said, "I know your heart has never been here. ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Although this place is good, carefree, the world is not as big as mine, and I can eat the dishes cooked by my sister herself, to be honest, I don't want to leave, but how can I be willing to be a bandit for the rest of my life?"

Mrs. Yu said: "A man should have the ambition to win the world, my younger brother should be even more so, although my sister is reluctant to you, but I also want to see you spread your wings and soar in the sky, you go, remember to come back often to see my sister." ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely come back to see you often." ”

Chen Jingru drove forward at this time, and said, "Alliance leader, I don't know if you have forgotten what you promised me more than a year ago?"

Jiang Xiaobai was stunned: "Take you as an apprentice?"

Chen Jingru was as ashamed as a girl, her face was red, and she said crampedly: "The alliance leader doesn't have to be reluctant, if you think my qualifications are too poor, I won't say it." ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Your qualifications are not bad, it may be that you were used to being pampered when you were the master of the young village in the past, and you neglected to practice swords, otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to you at that time." ”

Chen Jingru hesitated: "Did the alliance leader agree?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Although I am not qualified to accept apprentices with my qualifications, I said that the master of Chen Zhai has a life-saving grace for me, since the master of Chen Zhai has repeatedly insisted, I can not be indifferent, but Chen Zhai master, you have to think clearly, you are now the master of a village, you and I are on an equal footing, brothers are commensurate, once you worship me as a teacher, first of all, your village master may not be able to do it, and the future generations are also shorter than me, from then on, you will be humble and orderly, and it is impossible for you to go back to the past." ”

Chen Jingru said happily: "Don't worry, it's my honor to be able to worship the alliance leader as a teacher, how can I regret it?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Since this is the case, then you should apprentice!"

Chen Jingru was stunned and said, "Right here? I have to invite the brothers from Qianzhai over to be a witness and set up two tables to apprentice in the bar?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "I don't like to make simple things cumbersome, you have the heart to worship me as a teacher, I have the heart to accept you as an apprentice, that's enough, the false etiquette is reserved for the laity." ”

Chen Jingru nodded and said, "Okay!" He jumped off the dragon horse, knelt on the ground, hugged his fists and said: "Master is above, please accept the apprentice Chen Jingru three times!" After speaking, he fell to the ground and knocked three times in a row.

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Get up!"

Chen Jingru stood up, his face was extremely bright, but he also knew that when his knees were stretched and bent, his identity was already completely different, and he was also a person who knew the etiquette, although he was extremely happy, he was still respectful, and hugged his fists and said: "Master is leaving now, is the apprentice going with you?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Don't worry, my own affairs haven't been dealt with yet, and when I am stable, I will inform you." ”

Chen Jingru said, "Yes!" and then said, "When will the master teach me swordsmanship?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "I have seen your swordsmanship, whether it is your body shape or footwork, as well as the posture of walking the sword, I think you are not suitable for practicing swordsmanship at all!"

Chen Jingru hesitated, "Master, what do you mean by this?" I didn't dare to say that I apprenticed to learn swords!

Jiang Xiaobai said: "I think you are more suitable for practicing sword techniques, or I will teach you a set of sword techniques! ”

Chen Jingru was shocked and said, "Master, can this knife technique work?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "It is precisely because you have never used a knife that I let you learn the knife technique, and your heart is not fettered, unlike the sword technique, although your sword technique is very bad, but after all, you have practiced for hundreds of years, and it has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, forever imprinted in your subconscious, and will always be inadvertently revealed." ”

Chen Jingru was still a little uncertain, and said, "Can this work?"

Feng Yan said: "Brother Chen, don't worry, my young master is proficient in all eighteen kinds of martial arts, and he won't treat you badly, I used to let me learn a stick, I didn't want to, it's even more ugly than learning a knife, but you look at me now, I feel that I don't have any weapons with a stick, except for the sword is good-looking, I don't think there is any use for birds, and now let me learn I don't want to learn." ”

Chen Jingru thought about it, gritted his teeth, and said, "Since Master thinks that I am suitable for sword practice, then I will practice knife practice!"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "In that case, I'll leave tomorrow, I'll teach you a day today, and then you can stay and practice slowly!"

Chen Jingru clenched his fists and said, "Thank you, Master!"

Back in Zhenxian Palace, Jiang Xiaobai found the box of weapons left by Wu Zitan, rummaged in it for a long time, turned over a few knives out, compared them back and forth, found a suitable one, and handed it to Chen Jingru.

The two of them came to the square in front of the Zhenxian Palace, and someone found a wooden stake, Jiang Xiaobai pointed to the wooden stake and said: "I will teach you this set of knife techniques called the wood-burning knife method, after your knife skills are practiced, you will instantly split ninety-nine eighty-one knives against the wooden stake, but the blade can only stick to the surface of the stake, and the stake can not be hurt in the slightest. ”

Chen Jingru exclaimed: "Can it really be ignited? This is amazing, how accurate does this have to be?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Whether it is a sword or a sword, each style of slashing must be accurate to the millimeter, otherwise it will be full of loopholes." ”

Chen Jingru suddenly had some expectations, holding the knife and eager to try.

Jiang Xiaobai explained the mantra of the wood-burning knife technique to him in detail, and then sat aside and let him slowly figure out the practice alone.

Chen Jingru used the knife for the first time, it was indeed a little awkward, and when he encountered something he didn't understand, he came to ask for advice, and after two hours, Chen Jingru gradually had a feel, the more he made it, the more he made it, and then he felt that it was more comfortable than making a sword, and every move was in line with his own mind, and he was happy.

Originally, I thought that my swordsmanship was bad because I used to be pampered and neglected to practice, but now I found that the master was right, he was indeed not suitable for sword practice, and his heart and sword path could not go together at all.

Chen Jingru is like a treasure, the more he practices, the more he is happy, he is so excited that he doesn't want to rest for a moment, he is so intoxicated that he doesn't care when it's dark.

Mrs. Yu came over to ask them to have dinner at this time, but Chen Jingru kept in her hands and shouted, "You guys eat first, and I'll practice for a while." ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "You can't become a fat man by eating in one bite, and if you want to be fast, you can't reach it, whether it's practicing swords or practicing knives, it's most taboo to be impatient, come over to eat first, and then there will be time." ”

Chen Jingru stopped at this time, with some regret on his face, and said, "Okay, I'll practice again after dinner!"

Madam Jade smiled, "Don't go crazy. ”

Chen Jingru smiled: "It's worth going crazy." In the past, I practiced swords, all for the sake of swords, in fact, I was resistant, I didn't want to practice at all, it was boring, I thought I was too lazy, but now I know that I am not lazy, I just haven't encountered my favorite swordsmanship, no, it's swordsmanship. ”

Madame Yu said: "I hope you are not anticlimactic. ”

Chen Jingru said: "Madam Yu, don't worry, I will definitely practice the wood-burning knife technique!"

During the meal, Chen Jingru sat beside Jiang Xiaobai and kept asking questions about his sword skills, because he knew that once the master was gone, everything would have to be figured out on his own. Jiang Xiaobai accepted apprentices for the first time, but he was also patient and explained to him in detail, and he ate a meal for more than an hour.

After eating, Chen Jingru practiced for most of the night, and did not return to the room to rest until she was exhausted.

The next day, Jiang Xiaobai and Feng Yan left, and it was already ten days later when they returned to Qingliang City.

Zuo Jingtian has been mixed recently, and the joy is that Qingliang Hou died in the Lifeless Sea, so that he has no worries. The worry is that Meng De has just returned.

Because the Zhongxia Kingdom has not won the lottery in the hunting conference for thousands of years, this time it won the championship in one fell swoop, which made the imperial court excited, and rewarded it with a large number of rewards, and the Dao beads alone were rewarded with 5,000 pieces, which were stored in the treasury and could be received at any time, and other gold, silver and jewelry were countless.

Zuo Jingtian's annual income is only ten guide beads, and these five thousand guide beads are enough for him to receive five hundred years, so that is really envy, jealousy and hatred. What's more, he sent him to the Wusheng Sea, and there was a deep hatred between the two, and now Meng De has just returned with honor, he is a hero of the country, in the eyes of the court, he is much more important than him, and Feihuang Tengda is just around the corner.

Although Meng De just came back very low-key, like a trip to relatives, as if nothing had happened, not arrogant or impatient, but the more like this, the more worried Zuo Jingtian became, if it was possible in the future, Meng De would definitely take revenge on him if he climbed on his head.

And the odds are very high.

He wanted to cut Meng Degang to the roots, but the court seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and specially decreed that all the monks who came back from the lifeless sea must be protected by all cities, and if there is a mistake, the city lord will be blamed. After all, the imperial court is not a fool, and knows that every monk who comes back from the lifeless sea has a deep hatred with the city lord, and if he is not protected, none of them will survive to the second year.

Originally, he was mixed, but when a news came, half of the joy suddenly ran clean, and only sorrow remained, because Qinglianghou returned. However, Qinglianghou did not come to report to him, but went directly to Qinglianghou's mansion.
