Chapter 5 Learning
"You said you wanted to teach me, how can I learn without weapons? Don't you want to teach?"
Ye Chen saw that he didn't give him a sword, and he couldn't take it himself, so he suddenly lost his temper.
Hearing this, the old man stroked his beard again, and said earnestly: "The sword will be given to you sooner or later, but not now, you don't know anything now, just like a blank piece of paper, you have to learn a little basic method to hold a sword." ”
"In that case, then teach it quickly, I will decide on this sword. ”
Ye Chen couldn't wait to roll up his sleeves, thinking that the old man would give him the sword as long as he taught him a few casually.
"Hehe, don't worry. ”
The old man laughed when he saw this. Ye Chen was so impatient, he naturally knew why.
"Teaching is meant to be taught, but not today. What I want to teach you today is to let you know what rivers and lakes are, so that you will have a lot easier walking in the future. ”
"Jianghu, old man, what do you mean?" Ye Chen asked.
He wasn't very optimistic about the old man teaching him kung fu, because he hadn't given him a good face since he was a child. Ye Chen naturally thought that the old man was teasing him, and he would only teach one or two tricks casually.
And Ye Chen felt that he was deliberately showing off in front of him, because he didn't believe the stories and legends he told since he was a child. In addition, he teased himself like a dog before, so Ye Chen felt that even if he wanted to learn, he would not teach him, so he planned to trick a sword.
And now that the old man wants to teach himself the rules of the rivers and lakes, it is obvious that he is an apprentice, and Ye Chen has to reconsider whether to study hard.
"Old man, let me tell you! Don't lie to me, I didn't know that you were good at martial arts, that's why I was disgusted by the stories you told. Now I really want to learn the skill, but I don't think you will teach me seriously. Do you really want to pass on my martial arts?"
Ye Chen tentatively stared at his face, wanting to see if he heard what he said anyway, and whether it was sincere.
After listening to Ye Chen's words, the old man did not change, but nodded slightly. Expressed their position.
"This river and lake is not as good as this village, the people of the rivers and lakes are sinister, and there are murderous opportunities everywhere. When you set foot in the rivers and lakes in the future, don't meddle in things. ”
"Huh...... , is it so scary as you say?" Ye Chen said.
"It's more than that. The old man said very seriously.
"There are many sects in the rivers and lakes, each with its own position, for their own interests, even if they are famous and upright, they sometimes reverse black and white, and there is no distinction between right and wrong. Therefore, it is best not to get involved in the affairs between sects, and if you don't do it, you will be bitten back. ”
"It turns out that the rivers and lakes are so dark, so how did you survive walking the rivers and lakes in the first place?"
When Ye Chen heard him say this, he immediately became interested in the old man's past. Because looking at him like this, he is obviously an old fritter, otherwise he wouldn't have warned himself like this.
Moreover, this old man has been in this village for thirty years, and if he is either tired of the battle between the rivers and lakes, he has another hidden secret. Ye Chen felt that he must have come here with some kind of purpose.
The old man saw that he was interested in his past, and stared at the entrance of the cave.
"Back then, like you, I didn't believe in anything, let alone that there were immortals in this world. Until I met two people, one was my master and the other was my father-in-law. ”
"Master and Engong, how are they, are they powerful, who is more powerful?" Ye Chen leaned in and asked.
"As far as I know, they don't know each other, and it's impossible for them to fight. As for who is stronger, I think it's the latter! Among the people I have met in my life, I have never seen such skills as Engong, and it is because of him that I believe that there may really be immortals in this world. ”
"Immortal, are you an immortal?" Ye Chen asked with wide eyes.
"I don't know, it's just that his strength has far exceeded my cognition, and in my opinion, the immortals are just like him!"
When the old man said this, he couldn't help but sigh. His father-in-law had asked him to come here to protect this place for him, but he did not tell him who he was going to protect, and he waited for thirty years.
Jiang Yingyue came to this village more than 20 years ago. He had doubted their true identities. But Jiang Yingyue's performance since then, as she said, is just an ordinary fleeing woman, which makes it difficult for people to be suspicious.
It wasn't until he met the man in black that he realized that Jiang Yingyue had been hiding for so many years. The purpose of his father-in-law who let him come here is to protect them.
He had tested Ye Chen several times before, wanting to see if Jiang Yingyue had told Ye Chen anything, but Ye Chen's performance was like a person in the dark, who didn't know anything. For this reason, he had to teach Ye Chen martial arts, wanting to test Jiang Yingyue's reaction.
Ye Chen did not have the slightest doubt about the old man's thoughts, since the old man said just now that he really wanted to teach him martial arts, he had completely believed in him. even imagined the scene of fighting the sword after he completed his studies.
The old man then told Ye Chen about some basic methods for cultivating martial arts, and Ye Chen listened patiently and memorized them, for fear of missing a word.
After the old man taught him the basic method, he carefully informed him of the rules in the rivers and lakes, as well as the sphere of influence of the good and evil factions in the rivers and lakes thirty years ago.
After telling him all this, the old man took him out of the cave with him.
They had been in the cave for a long time, and it was already noon when they came, so it was not too early for them to go back.
He asked Ye Chen to come here every day to find him in the future, and at the same time told Ye Chen not to reveal his identity.
Ye Chen now wished that he would teach himself quickly, naturally he didn't want others to know that the old man knew martial arts, so he readily agreed without thinking about it.
Ye Chen hummed a little song all the way, and returned home after a while. Seeing that Ye Chen hadn't been so happy for a long time, Jiang Yingyue stepped forward to ask, but was prevaricated by Ye Chen's words.
In the next few days, Ye Chen went up the mountain at noon every day, and the old man waited for him in the cave on time. Under the careful teaching of the old man, Ye Chen soon learned some basic moves. For this reason, he couldn't close his mouth happily, and he obeyed the old man's words.
On the tenth day, the old man found that Ye Chen had made great progress, not only had he cultivated his true qi, but he could also leap a few feet. Although it was not as fast as lightning like himself, the progress in such a short period of time was so fast, but the old man never expected it.
The old man leaned his back against the wall, watching Ye Chen's efforts to cultivate martial arts, and he was naturally overjoyed.
"Yes, sure enough, the roots and bones are wonderful, and they will become great in the future. ”
"The sword is yours. ”
The old man threw the sword to Ye Chen, Ye Chen grabbed it at once, and couldn't wait to pull it out and dance.
After playing a few tricks, Ye Chen ran to the old man sweating profusely, and said with a smile: "How about it?
"Hehehehehe. The old man smiled when he heard this.
"It's great to be able to achieve something like this at your age. You are just a beginner, and there are still many things you don't understand, if you cultivate seriously in the future, you will definitely be able to become a generation of heroes. ”
"That's a must. Talent is here, it's hard not to become a hero!" Ye Chen smiled, extremely proud of his performance.
"Hairy boy, I don't know humility, I don't know how thick the sky is. When I first learned to become a teacher, I thought I was invincible in the world like you, but as soon as I entered the WTO, I planted a big root. ”
"Hahahaha, old man, are you so powerful that you can still make a mistake?" Ye Chen quipped when he heard this.
"There are people outside of people, and there are heavens outside of heaven. Don't be too high-profile, it's easy to invite disaster, this is my personal experience. Don't be too crazy in the future, there will always be someone in the rivers and lakes who can clean you up. The old man admonished.
"Tell me about your experience, old man, when you were young, tell me about your previous experience?"
Hearing this, Ye Chen stuck his sword on the ground, then sat down, dragging his head with both hands, and quietly waited for him to tell him about his experience.
When the old man saw Ye Chen's joke appearance, he almost couldn't help kicking him. But after thinking about it, this could also be used as a negative teaching material for Ye Chen, so he couldn't help but not clean him up.
The old man couldn't see Ye Chen's unbeaten face, so he turned around and said, "At the beginning, I thought that I had succeeded in my studies, so I went down the mountain despite the dissuasion of my master. Because he was quite confident in his own strength, he hoeed all the way to help the weak until he met Lin Zhentian. ”
"He also came out to practice at that time, I didn't know that he was the apprentice of the master of the Shura Hall at that time, because the two of us had similar tempers, we quickly became good friends. ”
"The two of us came to the largest Wushuang City in the martial arts, and happened to see those decent people holding a martial arts competition, so we both signed up. ”
"Maybe it was luck, the two of us fought all the way to the end and defeated Shangguan Renjie, the son of the martial arts supreme at that time. Unexpectedly, Shangguan Renjie held a grudge and revealed in public that Lin Zhentian was the future hall master of the Shura Palace, causing Lin Zhentian to be besieged by those famous and decent families. ”
"What happened later, did you help?" Ye Chen interrupted.
"Later, I helped Lin Zhentian. But we couldn't stand the number of them, and we were defeated after a while, and just when we were about to be captured, I helped Lin Zhentian escape. and said a bunch of words that ridiculed Shangguan Renjie. ”
