Chapter 6: Apprenticeship from the Dragon (1)
Long Huitian turned back one step at a time, reluctantly returned home, just entered the door and saw his father standing at the door with an angry face, thinking that this was over, he quickly came to his father with his head down, and called softly: Dad! Then waiting for his father's reprimand, his father Long Yun looked at Long Huitian's face and thought, since the death of the child and his mother, my father and I have relied on each other, and I have to be merciful to God, and I have been stable, seeing that Tian'er has grown up, kind-hearted, upright, and sensible, and people are also considered to be spiritual, saying that there is an endless stream of people who propose marriage, and I am also at ease, and I am also right about his deceased mother, but who would have thought that everything is according to my heaven, in the marriage event, I didn't say anything about it a little bit of disobedience, and then I actually ran away from home, thinking of this, not only sighed, calmed down and said slowly。 Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Today, you will be seventeen years old, and there are so many people who come to the door to propose, and you don't have one you like?
I think my Long family is thin, in the past 20 years, my father and I have relied on each other, it's not that my father wants to force you to get married as soon as possible, but now my father is old, in case he returns to the west that day, leaving you alone in the world, lonely and helpless, how can you tell your father to rest assured.
When Long Huitian heard his father say this, his heart fluttered and he knelt on his knees, and said with tears in his eyes: Dad, how can you say such a thing, your old man is in good health, and he will live to be a hundred years old?
Long Yun didn't want to put pressure on his son, but what he said was also the truth, in recent years, he deeply felt that because of years of forging swords in a high temperature environment, his body had been overwhelmed, and his bones and veins were faintly painful.
At this moment, when he heard Tian'er say this, he came down the steps and gently helped Long Huitian up, haha, and said with a smile: "Silly boy, how many people in the world can live for more than a hundred years! Dad didn't pray so much, he just hoped that my son could let me do it as soon as possible, but a major event in his heart, his wish was fulfilled, and he had nothing else to ask for, so he turned around and walked towards the sword-casting room.
Long Huitian looked at his father's lonely background, unspeakably sad, he planned to take a bath first and change into clean clothes, so that he was in no mood at all, and returned to his room wearing the clothes that were scraped for catching rabbits.
Long Huitian was lying on the bed, his eyes staring at the roof, thinking of all the things he had with Min'er today, sometimes chuckling, sometimes thoughtfully, and muttering softly: I don't know what Min'er asked, will her grandfather teach me martial arts? Hey, look at my creation! After thinking about it, he turned his head to look out the window, and when it was too late, he jumped up in surprise and said: Why did you forget to go to the sword casting room to help my father today! Saying that, he rushed to the sword-casting room, came to the sword-casting room, and saw his father sweating profusely, his expression was focused, and he was staring at the sword furnace.
He stared at the sword furnace for a long time, and he couldn't see the reason, so he opened his mouth and asked his father: Is there anything different about my father today? Why are you like this, Long Yun heard this before he turned his head and glanced at his son, and then continued to stare at the sword furnace and said: This is the best sword that my father has ever forged in his life, using extremely rare and rare village materials, if it is cast, it will be a divine weapon, but if it is a little wrong, it will be wasted.
Long Huitian listened to what his father said so solemnly, so he also cheered up, but after a while, his thoughts flew out of the clouds, smirking dumbly, of course, Long Yun had already discovered his son's abnormality, glanced at his son, and then found that his son's clothes were torn and the beggars were not as good, and then looked at his son's expression, smiled thoughtfully, and bowed his head silently.
May the sword cast by Long Yun now be Long Huitian, the dragon-shaped sword mentioned last time, the sword furnace is melted by Long Yun to get the black gold iron mother by chance, this thing is extremely hard, Long Yun has been melting for seventy-two days, and now there are only nine days left, so it is extremely nervous, success or failure depends on the last nine days, if it cannot be completely melted, it is bound to be wasted.
The reason why Long Huitian didn't know was because Long Yun knew that casting a sword was harmful to his body, so he tried to keep his son away, and Long Yun wanted his son to be able to understand things and righteousness in the future, so he focused his son on reading and literacy.
Long Huitian has been smart since he was a child, and he is now a famous talent in ten miles and eight towns, so there are so many people rushing to propose marriage.
The father and son stared at the sword furnace for a long time and a night, during which Long Huitian went back to cook some food, and the two of them ate in the sword casting room, and continued to stare at the sword furnace, seeing that it was already three poles in the sun, Long Huitian remembered the agreement with Min'er, absent-minded, restless, Long Yun saw this, shook his head and said: Tian'er, do you have something to do?
When Long Huitian saw his father say this: Think carefully, do you want to tell your father about it? When he looked up and saw his father's caring expression, he felt that he should not hide it from his father, and if he couldn't even tell his father in this world, who else could I tell?
After listening to his son's relay, Long Yun's expression changed rapidly, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad, Long Huitian's heart was also uneasy with his father's expression, and he was afraid that his father would not agree!
Long Yun thought for a while, then looked at his son's expectant eyes, and thought to himself, when my son grows up, he will eventually have his own ideas and his own way to go, and if I interfere arbitrarily, I may ruin the future of Tian'er!
When Long Huitian heard his father say this, he said happily: "Dad, please rest assured, the son obeys his father's orders, and he will never give up halfway!
In fact, Long Huitian was too worried, what he did that day had been deeply appreciated by Min'er's grandfather Tie Longyun, and after testing Long Huitian's character, he was determined to teach him a martial arts, and he would not bury his martial arts with him!
The next morning, after Min'er prepared breakfast for her grandfather, she said goodbye to her grandfather and went down the mountain to find Long Huitian, and when she arrived at the agreed place, she didn't see Long Huitian, so she thought that maybe there was a delay on the road, or the road was too far, so I would wait for him for a while! In fact, I was worried in my heart, and I was afraid that Long Huitian would not come to pay the appointment! I was bored, and I thought, it would be better to practice the eighteen dragon forms taught by my grandfather first! I don't seem to know very well, and it would be bad if I forgot it!
Think about it, adjust your breathing, heart and eye unity, draw the sword with your right hand, and the small shoe-shaped body of the right foot soars into the sky, and then a reverse foot up and down, stabbing downward, and then the tip of the sword is a little on the ground, borrowing a little strength to pull up again, swinging the sword and sweeping, everywhere you go, the thatch is broken, and then out of thin air a harrier turned over, the legs were slightly bent, and the sword was swung down very quickly, and the chopping place was full of dust, I nodded lightly and said: Fortunately, I haven't forgotten, otherwise I will have to be trained by my grandfather again.
Just when she was practicing the sword, Long Huitian just arrived, and saw Min'er's sword turning with her, free and easy, with a beautiful body, like a fairy from the sky, holding her breath, quietly appreciating, until Min'er finished practicing the sword, she still looked at it stupidly, or Min'er noticed that something was wrong, and she flew to draw her sword and stabbed it, which scared Long Huitian and hugged her head, or Min'er found that he hurriedly collected the sword, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!
Min'er hurriedly reversed, landed on the ground and took a breath lightly, and scolded with a smile: Fool, do you want to find death?
Long Huitian apologized with a wry smile and said: I'm sorry Min'er, I saw that you were practicing swords, and I was afraid that it would affect you, and besides, your swordsmanship is really good-looking, so.... So.. !
So you don't come out and hide there to peek, right?" Min'er said with a smile
Long Huitian could only nod stupidly and said, "Hmm."
Min'er came to Long Huitian, patted the grass on the rat's body just now, and said, don't envy me, as long as you pass the test of grandpa, and grandpa is willing to teach you martial arts, it won't be long before you will not only be the same as me, but even worse than me.
Long Huitian said, and then remembered what Min'er said about what else he needed, so he asked: What test? What kind of test?
Min'er said: Well, that's what Grandpa said, I don't know what the test is! Grandpa said that you won't pass on your martial arts without going through the test, and I can't help it, but I'm optimistic about you, and I'll face it with you! Don't be discouraged, as long as you work hard, Grandpa will definitely pass on your martial arts!
When Long Huitian heard Min'er say this, he aroused his manly nature, and said: Min'er, don't worry, no matter how grandpa tests me, I will persevere, and I won't let you down, Min'er nodded and said: Well, I believe you, then let's go!
Well, good! Min'er, you lead the way in front, I follow you, the two of them are one after the other, Min'er makes light skills, while walking, etc., this is what her grandfather told her, this is also a test, Long Huitian gritted his teeth and chased after him, Min'er for his good, this is almost thirty miles of mountain road, endured heartache, stunned and didn't let him take a break, Long Huitian is also stubborn, and he didn't ask Min'er along the way, let him take a break, although he was sweating, his clothes were wet, his steps were frivolous, and he could fall at any time, but he gritted his teeth and insisted, Min'er looked back from time to time, and had to be moved by his perseverance, sweet in his heart, I felt that I didn't see the wrong person,
The two of them ran one after the other for half an hour, the more they went up, the colder it became, so that Long Huitian, who was drenched, felt cold on his back for a while, and looked up to find Min'er beckoning to him behind a tree not far away, Long Huitian thought to himself, Min'er can insist on a girl's family, can't I even compare to a girl? Speed up to catch up with Min'er, Min'er saw Long Huitian coming to him, so he said: How can you still persevere? No problem Long Huitian said, it's no problem to run another thirty miles, you don't have to worry about me.
Min'er smiled and said: No need to run thirty miles again, you see that the hole in front of me is my home, go to the two of us together, Long Huitian looked up and saw that not far from himself under a cliff, there is a natural cave, just enough for a person to walk upright, the entrance of the cave is round like jade carving, the two came to the entrance of the cave side by side, at this time out of the cave out of one, the old man with a childish face and crane hair, wearing a big black robe, and his eyes were staring at himself, Long Huitian thought, this is probably Min'er's grandfather, I can't lose my courtesy, hurry up three steps and two steps to the old man, hug his fists and bow deeply and said: Xiao Kelong returned to the sky to meet you old, he didn't know what to call it, it's too presumptuous to call grandpa like Min'er, so I will call you old.
Min'er also called softly at this time Grandpa said: Grandpa, this is what I told you about Brother Long, I brought him Tie Longyun nodded lightly at his granddaughter Min'er, and then looked at Long Huitian and said: I heard Min'er say that you want to learn martial arts?
Long Huitian replied respectfully: Yes!
Tie Longyun looked at Long Huitian carefully, and said: "I see that your qualifications are not bad, and you are a material for practicing martial arts, but my sect's martial arts have gone all the way, because of its excessive power and extremely strict acceptance of apprentices, it is not impossible for you to learn martial arts, but I have to go through three major tests before I can accept you as a disciple, this is the rule of the sect, are you willing?"
Long Huitian replied respectfully: I am willing, no matter what the test I will never retreat, please rest assured, what you say is sonorous and powerful.
Tie Longyun was more satisfied, and said with a smile: "Okay, you will come to the mountain tomorrow morning to be tested, and then talk about other things after the test."
Long Huitian replied respectfully: Yes
Tie Longyun nodded and turned around and went back to the cave, Min'er came up at this time and said, Brother Long, then you can go back first!
Long Huitian replied with a smile: Min'er thank you, see you tomorrow! After saying that, she turned around and went down the mountain, Min'er said: Don't thank me first, I don't have a word of eight words! When you pass your grandfather's test, thank you again, you have to work hard! Go back and have a good rest!
The two turned around and walked towards the way they came, and said as they walked back to the sky: Min'er, don't worry, I will definitely work hard!
Back home, Long Huitian told his father about today's plot, Long Yun said: Since there is a famous teacher to guide you, you have to work hard, don't let down your master and Min'er, I don't have anything to express my gratitude, and other things are not enough to express my gratitude, so I went back to the study, took out a box that seemed to have been sealed for a long time, handed it to Long Huitian and said: This is the treasure that our Long family handed down from our ancestors, a dagger that is as iron-like as mud, maybe your master can use it, you transfer it to him to express my gratitude!
Long Huitian took the dagger, opened the box, and saw a crystal clear white jade dagger, petite and cute, sharp and without soldiers, glowing with a faint white light, at a glance, he knew that it was not ordinary, Long Huitian carefully put away the dagger, thanked his father, and went back to the room early.
The next day, Long Huitian got up early, for fear of missing the agreed hour, early on the road, at this time the sky was not yet full of light, I don't know how much suffering I suffered along the way, but fortunately I arrived at the time of the time, and when I looked up, the grandfather and grandson were waiting at the entrance of the cave, and then saw Long Huitian arrive, the old man nodded and said: Well, yes, you come with me.
Poor Min'er has never gotten up so early since she was a child, and she also got up with her grandfather at this time, for fear that her grandfather would be embarrassed by Long Huitian, and if she didn't teach Long Huitian martial arts, it was also painstaking!
The three of them walked up the mountain, the more they walked, the colder it became, and after a while, it actually snowed heavily on the mountain, the wind was howling, the cold was biting, and the frozen Long Huitian shivered, secretly complaining to himself, and forgetting to bring some thick clothes when he went out, but on the other hand, Min'er and grandchildren couldn't see any strange expressions, which made Long Huitian more confident in learning martial arts.
The three of them came to an open and expanded land, Min'er's grandfather said: Tian'er from today, you accept the first level test, endurance test, for three days, you can't move a step in these three days, the meal is sent by Min'er, and then draw a circle in the center of the open and expanded land, let Long Huitian sit in it, and then without saying a word, he turned around and went down the mountain, walked a few steps, and saw his granddaughter Min'er still standing in place and did not move, knowing that his granddaughter could not rest assured that her brother Long, he stiffened his face and said: Min'er, why are you still standing there!
This filial piety must be done by himself, you are not allowed to disturb him, come down the mountain with me, and make some food for your brother Long!
Min'er looked at Long Huitian's appearance, and wanted to cry, and said with crying: Grandpa, is this too strict, he has no martial arts foundation, you let him sit alone in such a cold place for three days, isn't this his life?
Anyway, he didn't care about his grandfather, he went to pull the dragon back to the sky, and said: Brother Long, you better go down the mountain, don't learn this broken martial arts, don't put your life here, I didn't know that grandpa's test was so strict, otherwise I wouldn't have brought you to grandpa! The more he talked, the more angry he became, and finally sat on the ground and cried!
In fact, this is not to blame Tie Longyun, who wants to return to the sky, and has grown up in constant temperature since he was a child, unlike Tie Longyun who was taken to the fire cave by the Master Huo Yan since he was a child, and under the condition of high temperature, he accepted the orthodox internal strength and fire dragon heart method!
As for the granddaughter Min'er, because of her daughter's physique, she couldn't practice the fire dragon heart method, and the internal strength heart method she practiced was created by Tie Longyun according to Min'er's physique.
But Long Huitian's stubborn personality made him retire from the water in case of trouble, and said to Min'er: Min'er, don't misunderstand your grandfather, I believe that grandpa has his own reason for doing this, you better hurry up and follow grandpa down the mountain! I'm fine, you have to believe me!
Hearing Long Huitian say this: Min'er was very angry and said: You.... You... You.... After saying three of your words, he hid his face and turned around and rushed down the mountain, Tie Longyun glanced at Long Huitian with appreciation, nodded and followed the figure of his granddaughter Min'er down the mountain.
If the big mountainside clearing, there is only the lonely figure of Long Huitian, Long Huitian sees, the shadow of the grandfather and grandson is gone, turn around and look around, see this clearing, three empty expansion, only one is next to the mountain, a gust of wind blows, blowing the snow on Long Huitian's head and face, the snow is still falling, and Tie Longyun painted a circle for him is in the middle of the clearing, it can be said that it is windy on all sides, Long Huitian glanced around, walked to Tie Longyun to draw the circle and sat down cross-legged, got rid of all distractions, began the first level of the test, Ren Wild Storm and Snow, I am as stable as Mount Tai, just sit in this way for two and a half days, during which the sadness is only clear to Long Huitian himself。
In the afternoon of the third day, Tie Longyun took his granddaughter Min'er to Long Huitian's side, only to see Long Huitian at this time, his hair was frozen, his eyebrows were frosty, his lips were purple, and his face was white and blue.
He turned his head and glared at his grandfather, and said, "He died grandpa!"
At this time, Long Huitian vaguely heard Min'er's cry, reluctantly opened his eyes, and said in a weak voice: Min'er, don't be sad, I'm still alive, Min'er just wiped the snow on Long Huitian's face with a smile, and said very lovingly: You hold on, I'll go and beg grandpa, the first level is over, okay!
Long Huitian said: Min'er has been here for more than two days, do you still care about these hours? I have to do what I say, how can I be a person who does not believe in my word? You can't harm me! After saying that, he closed his eyes! The expression on his face was indescribably resolute.
Since Long Huitian said this, what else can I say, maybe I will spend the remaining hours with you!
As the old man's time came, Long Huitian and Min'er opened their eyes at the same time, and the old man came to the two with a smile and said to Long Huitian: Little doll congratulations on passing the first level, go down and take a good rest and accept the test of the second level.
The two of them wept with joy when they heard this
