"What?" Wang Shouren and Xu Xian were both shocked by Ning Wushu's sudden sentence, Xu Xian opened his mouth, and then closed it again. He looked at Ning Wushu with a young face, but he thought that there was no need to be surprised at all, this former Xuanyuan Jinyu and now Ning Wushu were completely an out-and-out master, and the terrifying existence of the iron tower, she only took a little effort to kill it. You'll be surprised, it's just because she's too young, right?

But Wang Shouren didn't know so much, he had just finished performing his special skills, and he wanted to be appreciated, but Ning Wushu came to such a sentence, as if he was satirizing his skills and could only be an apprentice for himself? Suddenly, Wang Shouren's face sank, and he snorted: "Little sister, even if you are a master, there is no need to humiliate me, right?"

"You're mistaken. Ning Wushu smiled slightly, beckoned to Xu Xian, Xu Xian didn't react for a while, and saw that Ning Wushu pointed to the wooden box he was carrying again, so he let out an "oh" and handed the wooden box over.

Ning Wushu took the wooden box and said to Wang Shouren: "There are not many people in this world who concentrate on practicing bows and arrows, I really think that you can be my apprentice." ”

Wang Shouren was stunned for a moment, but saw Ning Wushu skillfully open the wooden box and take out a huge bow from it, the bow body was antique and exuded a vigorous taste. Before Wang Shouren could react, he felt that the quiver hanging on his waist was light, and when he looked down, the quiver was empty, and in Ning Wushu's hand, there were five more arrows in an instant.

"When did you ......" Wang Shouren didn't finish speaking, but Ning Wushu smiled at him, and at the same time, the bow was raised.

For a while, Wang Shouren only felt that the beautiful young lady in front of him suddenly changed her appearance, and a sharp momentum like a knife came to her face, Wang Shouren, who had not really practiced martial arts, was so frightened that he took two steps back and almost sat on the ground, but he still gritted his teeth and stood still, staring at Ning Wushu incredulously.

The reason why it is incredible is because the arrows in Ning Wushu's hand have already been shot out, and the five arrows are not shot out at the same time, but one by one, but in her hands, it seems to happen at the same time. At that moment, Wang Shouren's eyes saw that Ning Wushu's right hand had become blurred, and she could pluck the bowstrings faster than the most skillful pianist could pluck the strings. Wang Shouren couldn't imagine how he could reach such a speed when he pulled the bow and released the strings?

As for the five arrows shot by Ning Wushu, Wang Shouren couldn't see it clearly at all, and he didn't have eyes to see it, he was completely attracted by Ning Wushu's action of pulling the strings. So, when there was a loud bang on the other side, he didn't realize what was happening. When he turned his stiff neck to look in the direction where the loud noise came, he found that the straw man who had been rooted for a long time had already turned into a piece of hay, and the brick wall behind the straw man had already broken into a ground of stone bricks.

"You, you, you, shoot down, wall?" Wang Shouren's tongue stiffened.

"Hey, little brother, take your jaw away, it's about to fall to the ground. Xu Xian joked with a grin, since the temple was destroyed overnight, he would not be surprised that Ning Wushu had done anything amazing.

Wang Shouren ignored Xu Xian, trotted all the way to the broken bricks, squatted down and looked. He frowned and flipped for a long time, only to find the remains of some arrows that had already broken into small pieces of wood under the stone bricks.

"Your arrows are too broken to penetrate this wall, so they collapse. Replace it with better arrows, and I can shoot through three or four sides of a wall like this. How about it, do you want to be my apprentice?" Ning Wushu put away his bow and smiled faintly. Some beads of sweat also oozed from her forehead, and it was extremely difficult to chase five arrows in a row, and it was also the strongest archery she could do now. Wang Shouren is a genius, although Ning Wushu is not very old, he has a wish in his heart to start his own sect, and this genius is almost an apprentice sent by God. Therefore, if he wants to create the impression of an invincible master, Ning Wushu also used the ability to press the bottom of the box.

Wang Shouren stood up, his face flushed, obviously excited. His voice trembled and said, "But, but my father won't let me practice martial arts......"

"It's okay, you just tell your father that you don't practice anymore, you have to study, and as for martial arts, I can teach you secretly. Ning Wushu said with a smile.

Wang Shouren scratched his head and said in embarrassment: "But if I tell my father not to practice martial arts, I will have to go to school." How can you balance studying and practicing martial arts?"

"What's so difficult about this?" Ning Wushu raised his head, looked at the floating clouds in the sky, and said lightly: "Do you know, I have been staying in one place for the past five years, and the people there are both studying and practicing martial arts. There, there is an elder with very high martial arts, and he is also a great Confucian, well-read and reads through the Dao. In addition to him, there are many, many other people like this, and even I have been studying the essence of the Zongheng family thousands of years ago in the past five years. Whether it is a book or a martial art, its essence is the Tao. Whether it is reading or practicing martial arts, they are all pursuing the Tao, and there is no conflict. If you have a strong physique and a good brain, you may not be able to become the top person in the world in the future, and seek the ultimate of the Tao. ”

Wang Shouren was fascinated by what he heard, and asked obsessively, "Then what is the ultimate of the Tao?"

"I don't know. Ning Wushu spread his hands and laughed: "Maybe it's to be a saint, right? I have an elder who is a Taoist priest, and he once said that Taoism is the origin of all things, and in ancient times, there were saints like Lao Tzu and Zhuangzi who could get a glimpse of the ultimate of Taoism. Then the ultimate we pursue may be to become a saint. ”

"I see. Wang Shouren's eyes bloomed with an astonishing light, he strode forward, walked to Ning Wushu, knelt down with a plop, and knocked his head three times, but then, he didn't dare to shout loudly, only dared to lower his voice and said: "Apprentice Wang Shouren, please meet Master!"

Seeing that Wang Shouren really worshipped the teacher so simply, Ning Wushu was a little caught off guard. After all, she had never worshiped her master, let alone accepted an apprentice, so she didn't know what to do at all, and she was a little confused for a while. But fortunately, she usually acts a lot, Ning Wushu is still a person who is very good at pretending, she coughed twice, showed a "kind" smile on her face, bowed down to help Wang Shouren up, and said, "Good apprentice, Master will give you a greeting gift." ”

Ning Wushu turned around and took out a storm arrow from the wooden box, handed it to Wang Shouren, and said, "This arrow was given to me by a respected elder when I first started practicing archery, and it was named Jing Tao. There are a total of 33 arrows, all of which are made of iron that has been refined for thousands of times, which can break through gold cracks and stones, and are indestructible. Today, I give you a storm arrow, hoping that you will be able to achieve success along the way. ”

Wang Shouren's face was excited and solemnly stretched out his hands, and he carefully held the arrow, only to feel that it was heavy, the texture was cold, and it was absolutely extraordinary. With such a heavy arrow, just if you want to shoot the crosshair, you need to practice hard day and night. Wang Shouren thought again, Ning Wushu could shoot down a wall with a tattered wooden arrow, what if he used this kind of shocking arrow?

Thinking of this, Wang Shouren felt even more that his master, who seemed to be the same age, was simply a monster, looking like a beautiful and gentle lady, but in fact he was a terrifyingly strong master of martial arts.

"Famous teachers and apprentices, congratulations, congratulations...... We can go find a place to rest, shall we? I'm carrying so much stuff on my back, and my waist is about to break. Xu Xian asked through gritted teeth, breaking the joyful atmosphere very inappropriately.

Wang Hua and Ning Liang are commensurate with brothers of the same generation, and of course Ning Wushu can't let Wang Shouren call her master every day, so it is agreed that they can usually be in front of people, and the two can be called sisters and brothers. Wang Shouren wanted to follow his father's order to arrange a place for Ning Wushu and the others, so he had to run to the housekeeper and say that he had promised that he would no longer practice martial arts, and that his father would rest assured, although the housekeeper clearly said that he didn't believe it, but at least the eldest boy was willing to soften, didn't he?

Ning Wushu was arranged to live in the Wang family's guest house, and a few subordinates were assigned, while Xu Xian was treated as an ordinary guard and arranged to live with other Wang family's nursing homes, he didn't care, he was not a rich person, of course he didn't have a rich disease, and he left with his own things humming a little song.

"Division...... Sister Wushu, you haven't told me yet, why did you come to my house?" Wang Shouren and Ning Wushu sat in the courtyard and talked, Ning Wushu sighed and said, "Since I have accepted you as an apprentice, there is nothing I can't say." My father provoked the powerful minister Cao Fushan and the commander of the Yulongwei Li Jingzhen, and was demoted to the magistrate, Li Jingzheng also continued to send people to chase and kill, and now the only thing in his hands that can pose a threat to Li Jingzheng is gone, and the Ning family is facing a catastrophe, unless Uncle Wang can have a way to let his father return to the capital official to reinstate, so that Li Jingzheng and others can be afraid. I came here to tell Uncle Wang what was going on and ask him to speed up. ”

"It turns out that after Uncle Ning left Beijing, something like this happened?" Wang Shouren sighed empathetically and said: "When Uncle Ning came to Beijing, our two families still ate together, Uncle Ning is a very good person, but his two sons are a little annoying, I really don't know why you are so powerful, Sister Wushu, Ning Fan and Ning Rong are so unlikable." ”

"Maybe it's because of my mother's genetics. Ning Wushu smiled bitterly, thinking of her mother, originally she wanted to leave the Lingjing Gate and go to her mother after simply saving Ning Liang, who would have expected that this matter would get bigger and bigger, and it would develop to this point. I used to hear that people in the rivers and lakes couldn't help themselves, and this was the feeling.

The two were talking, and suddenly heard footsteps over there, and turned their heads to see that it was Wang Hua. When Wang Hua came to the courtyard, he ignored Wang Shouren, but said to Ning Wushu, who got up and saluted: "Niece, I have already read Brother Ning's letter, and you can't help me with what I want to do next, so let's live here in peace for a while." After speaking, Wang Hua glanced at Wang Shouren again and asked, "You don't practice martial arts anymore?"

Wang Shouren stood up straight and said loudly: "Father, my son has understood, I want to study! In the future, I want to be a saint!"

When Wang Hua heard the words "I want to read", he showed a relieved smile, but soon, his smile froze, and he asked dryly, "What did you just say?"

"I want to be a saint!" replied Wang Shouren, whose eyes were shining, his body as straight as a javelin, and his voice was like a bell.

Wang Hua's face was blue, white, red, and black, and he really couldn't tell what kind of expression it was. In the end, his forehead jumped with green tendons, and he pointed at Wang Shouren and scolded: "Arrogance!"

"This ......" Ning Wushu was a little embarrassed, after all, the target of the "saint" was what she told Wang Shouren, who knew that this kid was so sincere that he shouted it out in front of Wang Hua. These old Confucian scholars who have read for decades all worship Confucius and Mencius as immortals, and a mortal says that he wants to be an immortal, isn't he arrogant?

She wanted to persuade Wang Hua to say a few words, Wang Shouren obviously wanted to refute it, but Wang Hua didn't give them a chance to open his mouth at all, glared at Wang Shouren fiercely, waved his sleeves, and said: "No matter what, I can't control you, just do what you like!"

Wang Shouren innocently turned his head to Ning Wushu, and Ning Wushu could only hold his forehead, expressing helplessness. In the end, in order to comfort Wang Shouren, he could only promise him, and the next day he found a place to pass on some "unique archery skills".
