Chapter 6: Background

"I'm ...... You're so powerful! The martial arts supreme dared to scold his son? What about later? Did you escape?"

Ye Chen was surprised when he heard his words, he really couldn't imagine that the gentle old man in front of him also had a hot side.

"What do you think?" said the old man.

Ye Chen pursed his lips when he heard this, "I don't think you can escape, you must have been arrested." ”

"Yes, I couldn't run at the time, but no one dared to catch me. ”

"Don't dare to arrest you? If it's really as you say, you're all surrounded, and no one has arrested you? Don't tease the old man, you're still bragging about your age. ”

"Hehe, no one dares to arrest me. The old man laughed when he heard this.

"At that time, I was young, and my cultivation was neither strong nor weak. After Lin Zhentian ran away, Shangguan Renjie's father took action to restrain me. But he was afraid that my master would be angry, so he didn't dare to embarrass me. ”

"Well, I'm afraid of offending the master behind you, which is indeed in the past. Old man, your division must be very strong, and there are a lot of people, right?"

"Not much, my master plus me, there are only two people in total. The old man smiled and held out a finger at him.

"Two? Is there any mistake? Two people are also one sect?"

Ye Chen didn't believe it when he was killed, what could a sect have with only two people that could make the martial arts supreme at that time jealous.

"Don't think that fewer people are weak, our sect pays attention to refinement, not more. The reason why the Martial Arts Supreme didn't dare to touch me in the first place was because of my master. His old man's cultivation has reached the peak of the realm, and he is far from being comparable to a martial arts supreme. ”

"You tell me again, why is your master so powerful that he shouldn't be the supreme martial arts and want to be someone else?" Ye Chen didn't believe his words and gave him a big roll of his eyes.

"Do you have to be a martial artist with high martial arts? There are countless senior masters hidden in this world, and I don't see them interested in the position of the supreme martial arts. Just talking about my benevolent father, he has cultivated to a close immortal, does he still care about a false name? In this world, everyone has their own pursuits, whether fame or fortune, and some pursue their own hearts. Could it be that everyone wants to fight for the title of a martial arts supreme?"

"This river and lake is not as simple as it seems on the surface that there are only two factions of good and evil, among which intrigue and hidden arrows hurt people, which is really unguardable. You have to remember that not all decent people are good, not all evil people are bad, and hypocrites are often more difficult to deal with than real villains. ”

"I see! I'll remember. ”

Ye Chen nodded as if he didn't understand. He naturally understood that the old man said this in order for him to have a better foothold in the rivers and lakes in the future.

"Alright, that's all I have to say. You go back! I won't use it tomorrow. The old man sighed.

"Don't come, old man, won't you teach me?" Ye Chen asked.

"This martial arts only teaches cultivation methods, as well as a few introductory swordsmanship, what I want to teach is finished, and it will depend on you to slowly understand it in the future. That's how I came at the beginning, and as for how high or low my cultivation will be in the future, it all depends on your understanding. ”

"What?

Ye Chen couldn't believe his words, and his mouth was wide open.

Looking at Ye Chen, who was stunned, the old man just smiled slightly, he had already guessed that he would have such an expression.

"It's really over, I didn't lie to you. This sect pays attention to understanding, unlike other sects, the level of your martial arts in the future depends on your level of effort, and the second depends on the level of your understanding. The so-called master leads the door and cultivates in the individual, which is our sect. ”

"This is outrageous, isn't it! Where is there such a sect? I think this is clearly an excuse for your master to shirk his responsibility. Ye Chen accused.

"Hehe, our sect has gone through thousands of years. The disciples are all outstanding figures. Don't look at the master who doesn't teach much, but he doesn't want to interfere too much with the apprentice. ”

"All the disciples who have just started the school are like a piece of jade, and the master carved it according to the master's wishes, and he didn't know some of the flaws and advantages inherent in the jade. Only Jade knows where her flaws and strengths are. This door is to carve by yourself, because only you know your potential and limits, and Master is only responsible for polishing. ”

"It's not to shirk responsibility. Forget it, if you don't hand it over, you won't be taught! But I won't return this sword. ”

Ye Chen pursed his lips, grabbed the sword and held it in his arms, for fear that his slow hand would be snatched by the old man.

"Hahahaha, I said I'll send you if I send it, I won't lie to you. You have to keep in mind the practice and use your wisdom to realize your own sword. ”

The old man laughed and walked out of the cave, Ye Chen scratched his head in place, and followed him out of the cave suspiciously.

After seeing Ye Chen come out. The old man stretched out his hand and gestured casually at the entrance of the cave, and the entrance of the cave suddenly collapsed.

"Old man, what are you doing, why did you destroy this hole?" Seeing this, Ye Chen immediately grabbed his hand and stopped him.

"This cave was originally my place to hide my sword, but now that the sword has been given to you, why do you keep it?" the old man said with his hands spread.

"If you give it to me, you can't just destroy it! How good is this cave, if you go up the mountain to hunt and encounter a thunderstorm, you can keep it to avoid the rain, and you destroy it two or three times, isn't it a waste?"

"Hehe, this barren mountains and mountains, jackals, tigers and leopards often haunt them, do you think people have their spirituality? It's good to keep it undiscovered, if it is discovered, go in and meet a fierce beast, wouldn't that harm others? Therefore, we can't look at the surface of things, we have to consider the deeper meaning. ”

"Hmph! You have a point, you old slippery head. ”

Ye Chen glanced at him very unhappily, and then didn't stop him again, allowing him to destroy the cave.

Seeing that Ye Chen had lost his temper again, the old man smiled and shook his head, Ye Chen's appearance was very similar to when he was young, tough and stubborn.

Without Ye Chen's obstruction, he destroyed the entire cave in a few clicks. Ye Chen looked at his right hand waving wildly, and found that every time he swung it, there was a mark on the stone wall, just like a sword slash, and the depth was much deeper than that of a sword slash, and he suddenly became interested again.

"Old man, what kind of martial arts are you?

"Martial arts?" The old man glanced at him when he heard this, and found that he was looking at him with adoring eyes, and he immediately struck a spirit.

"This is sword qi. If you work hard, I believe that with your talent, it will be in two or three years. ”

"Is it really only two or three years? Then I have to practice hard, and when I have practiced my sword qi, I will no longer be afraid of being bullied by others. ”

Ye Chen danced happily when he heard this, since he started learning ten days ago, he wanted to be able to walk out of the village with a sword one day. In addition, the old man's experience deeply attracted him, and he also wanted to go to see the so-called rivers and lakes earlier.

Seeing that Ye Chen was so happy, the old man sighed quietly. If he wasn't worried that someone from the Shura Hall would come to the door, he wouldn't have taught Ye Chen martial arts.

Now that the small mountain village has been exposed, the people of the Shura Hall will come back soon, where is there time for Ye Chen to cultivate. The reason why he taught him was just that he hoped that he would be able to escape from the chaos when the time came.

After destroying the cave, the two of them went down the mountain together, and the old man changed into his previous tattered clothes halfway, he didn't want others to know his identity, so he naturally had to continue to pretend to be an old man who didn't know anything.

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, the old man stopped and warned Ye Chen again not to tell his mother his identity and the origin of the sword.

He did this because he wanted to use this sword to make Ye Chen's mother and son quarrel, so that he could take advantage of the chaos to find out Jiang Yingyue's identity.

The two entered the village one after the other, and the two were separated by several meters in order to make people think that they were together.

Ye Chen took the lead in returning home, and as soon as he entered the door, Jiang Yingyue's face suddenly darkened when he saw the sword he was carrying. Hurriedly stepped forward to ask Ye Chenjian about his origin.

Ye Chen, who listened to the old man's words, naturally wouldn't tell her the truth, so he fooled her a few words casually. Said it was picked up from the mountains. But even so, Jiang Yingyue still refused to give up and asked him to throw away the sword.

Ye Chen finally got a sword, where could he easily throw it away, for Jiang Yingyue's unreasonable request, Ye Chen naturally ignored it, and rushed into the room.

Seeing that Ye Chen didn't listen to her words, Jiang Yingyue gasped for breath, and she sat on the stool, unable to calm the anger in her heart for a long time.

The quarrel between Ye Chen's mother and son had already been clear to the old man hiding in the shadows. Seeing Jiang Yingyue like this, he felt more and more that this Jiang Yingyue was not simple.

It soon darkened, and Ye Chen never opened the door. Jiang Yingyue was angry that she didn't work all afternoon, and hurriedly paced back and forth in the hall.

At this time, the old man had quietly slipped onto the back of her house, and was quietly observing them.

Jiang Yingyue walked around the hall, suddenly came to the door, poked her head out and looked left and right, and after seeing that there were no pedestrians on the road, she closed the door and walked towards Ye Chen's room.

She knocked on the door a few times, and the door was opened by Ye Chen with a 'rattle'. After opening the door, Ye Chen didn't even say hello, turned around and lay on the bed.

Jiang Yingyue ignored Ye Chen's unreasonableness, and turned around and closed the door after entering the room.

Ye Chen glanced at her lightly, and then his gaze fell on the sword again.

"Xiao Chen, I have something to tell you. Jiang Yingyue came to the head of the bed and sat down next to him gently.

Out of instinct, Ye Chen was afraid that Jiang Yingyue would snatch the sword, so he put the sword on the other side.

The old man on the roof couldn't help but squint his eyes when he saw this scene, this was exactly what he wanted to see. Because of the disagreement between the two, Jiang Yingyue had to tell Ye Chen his true identity, so that he could find out her details.
