It's smooth.

It was perfect.

It's like a drifting cloud floating in the sky, and this thorn flies from the flowing cloud.

In the past many years, of course, he has seen many swordsmen use swords, but even the kind of swordsman who pursues the formlessness of sword moves, after many years of hard training, still has a taste of deliberate carving, which cannot be compared with this young man's nature at all.

His eyes were amazed, his heart sighed, his hand stretched out, and his fingers popped out.

It's also very natural.

There was a soft snap.

His fingers flicked on the tip of the bamboo.

The tip of the bamboo was deflected, stabbing into the open space on the side of his neck.

The boy's brow furrowed slightly, like a ripple in a calm pond.

The purple bamboo in his hand slowly drooped down, and then withdrew.

"Why?"

He looked at Gu Liren, and at this time he seemed to really start to look at Gu Liren's face.

Gu Liren actually knew what he was asking, but he deliberately smiled and said, "What, why?"

"You didn't use much strength, you shouldn't be able to bounce off my bamboo. The young man thought about it seriously, and then said, "And I feel that you shouldn't have time to hit it." ”

"You shouldn't have practiced any swordsmanship, but you should know that there are such things as swordsmanship and sword moves. Gu Liren also became serious, he stretched out his hand, flexed his fingers, and flicked it several times in front of the young man's eyes.

"Everyone's understanding of sword moves is different, and in my opinion, seeing sword moves as a means to confuse the other party is a trail, and it is fundamental to bring more perfect power and speed. ”

He was afraid that the young man would not be able to understand, so the movement of his fingers slowed down a little, and said: "In the cramped time and space, different sword moves can make your power go to different places according to your mind. ”

"It's not these. The young man shook his head, his brows furrowed a little deeper, he looked at Gu Liren's fingers, and said solemnly: "I understand that if I hold a sword, such a sword stabs, if it is someone who has not learned many sword moves, he just wants to play my sword, there are no suitable tricks to use, and he can't think of any way to play, but for people like you, there should be many kinds of tricks that can be played, you just choose one of the moves that you think is the most perfect and the fastest where you want to play." But what I'm talking about is not a matter of tricks. ”

"Tricks are the means, the means to achieve what you want to do. The gleam of joy in Gu Liren's eyes became thicker, he quietly looked at the young man's eyes full of curiosity, and said slowly, "Because all my perceptions are faster than yours, your movements will seem very slow to me, and I can feel the flow of your power, and I can feel where to play, which will make your power unbalanced." So even if my strength is smaller than yours, I can crack such a trick of yours. ”

"So this is what you call cultivation?" the boy asked, taking a deep breath and looking at him.

"Nothing is unimportant, both inside and outside. ”

Gu Liren's fingers stopped moving, but a powerful force flowed out from his fingertips, it was a sword light that seemed to be nothing, but the sharp aura made the young man's face change suddenly.

This breath stabbed towards the sky, as if it was about to pierce a hole in the entire sky.

"Mastering anything that will make you more powerful is practice. ”

"The reason why I am looking for you is because everyone's talent is different, you are very different from ordinary people's talents, there are some methods, ordinary people can't learn in a lifetime, but you are born with it, some you can't, I'm afraid I will teach people countless times, he can't, but you may look at it. ”

Gu Liren looked at the young man who was looking at the sky with emotion, and said, "I think you may surpass me in the future... I'm Gu Liren, the swordsman of Bashan Sword Field, what's your name?"

"The king is amazed. ”

The young man withdrew his gaze from the clouds, he looked at Gu Liren's calm and joyful eyes, got up quietly, and then bowed seriously, and said, "Teacher, I will practice with you." ”

"Wang Jingmeng?"

Gu Liren silently repeated this name in his heart, he was a little surprised, this name was impressive, not like the name that people in this city would take.

"Your family?" so he couldn't help but ask.

"My parents came from Changling, and they came with General Zhen Bao at that time, and my parents died of illness in the next three years. Wang replied in surprise. Because the time was too long, and he was too young to even remember the faces of his parents clearly, he didn't have too much sentimentality in his heart when he answered Gu Liren at this time.

"From Changling?" Gu Liren was stunned.

He is also not very familiar with the world, and the Bashan Sword Field is also very far away from Changling, so he thought hard for a long time before remembering that Changling did seem to have a famous general who was degraded and implicated thousands of people in exile.

"Are your parents his subordinates, or cultivators?" he couldn't help but ask.

Wang Jingmeng shook his head, "My father is a painter, and my mother is an ordinary woman. ”

"How old were you when they died?"

"More than four years old....less than five years old?"

"And who's going to take care of you after that?"

"A friend of my father, an uncle of mine, is a veteran, and he was arranged in the mountains to watch the woodland, which is actually self-fending. The king said, "A few years later, there was a horse thief nearby, but he was called again, and then he died in battle, and then I was alone." ”

"Then after he dies, you will be hunting alone in the mountains and forests for a living?" Gu Liren looked at this extraordinarily quiet young man, and felt great pity in his heart.

His parents were just ordinary people, and he was implicated in exile, and he died of illness one after another, and then his friends who took care of his father also died in battle, and he was still living in the mountains and forests at a young age, which sounds unfortunate.

"You're right, I'm a little different from the average person. ”

Wang Jingmeng did not have the slightest self-pity, this kind of thing was too common in this city, and even the vast majority of people in the city seemed to be even more miserable than him.

He looked at Gu Liren and said, "Those beasts that are difficult to kill in the eyes of ordinary hunters are not difficult to kill at all in my opinion. They'll all pounce on me, and I just need to stab them where I can kill them. And the harder the beast to kill, the more valuable it is. ”

"Didn't you want to get out of here and go out to have a look?" Gu Liren nodded at a black dot in the sky in the distance, which was an eagle falcon flying high in the sky.

"The higher you fly, the farther you can see, and the same is true for practice, the more you see, the broader your horizons will become, and the more likely you will become stronger. ”

"I thought about it, but I had to do it one by one. ”

"Then haven't you thought about finding a teacher who might make you more powerful?" Gu Liren looked at the young man's calm eyes seriously, and said very directly: "Or find those horse thieves to help your father's friend take revenge?" In fact, courage is also very important to become strong and have strength. ”

"There are no cultivators here, before I first saw your power, I once thought that there were no cultivators in the world, and all those things about cultivators were made up in storybooks, just like mountain ghosts and spirits. Wang Jingmeng shook his head very dryly, "There are no teachers here who make me more powerful, because I haven't met anyone better than me... In such a thing as killing beasts and killing people. ”

"Murder?" Gu Liren was a little surprised.

Wang Jingmeng nodded, "Those horse thieves have already been killed by me. ”

Gu Liren was stunned for a long time, and he was even more surprised.

"How does it feel to kill someone?" he couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing special, maybe those people are more disgusting than the beasts. Wang Jingmeng said seriously, "In the past few years, I have killed very few beasts, because they are just in need of food. So I was a little surprised that you were able to find me through a hide. ”
