Chapter 6: Talent
Shangguan Qianye talked with Wan Weiwang for a long time, as if he had seen relatives, and Wan Weiwang also liked this pair of children very much. was chatting, suddenly Shangguan Qianye seemed to remember something, his expression froze, and his two eyes looked straight at Wan Weiwang and asked, "Wan Daxia, who are the two wicked people who killed our family?"
Wan Weiwang was stunned for a moment, and then he stopped talking, and then the old man spoke: "You should know, sooner or later, you have to know, just tell them, even if you don't say it, they won't let go of this hatred in their hearts." ”
Wan Weiwang said: "The one-eyed one is called Lang Youwei, and the one with a scar on his face is called Pei Zhijian." Shangguan Qianye paused for a moment after hearing this, and then continued to ask, "Wan Daxia, did you kill them that night?"
Wan Weiwang sighed and said, "No, they were rescued. Shangguan Qianye knelt down on his knees again after hearing this, and said with tears in his eyes: "Wan Daxia, I know that you are very capable, they are not your opponents, can you help me kill them?"
Wan Weiwang said: "I have been looking for them all these years, but the Proud Sword Sect where they are located has no place, their whereabouts are erratic, I have been very close several times, but I have not been able to meet them again." ”
Shangguan Qianye's expression was very depressed after hearing this, he slowly lowered his head, and suddenly raised his head again to look at Wan Weiwang and asked, "Have you saved Mei Feiyan?" Wan Weiwang asked back: "Who is Mei Feiyan?"
Shangguan Qianye said: "It's the little girl who was taken away by two wicked people." Wan Weiwang sighed again and said, "Hey, because someone came to help the two thieves that day, I couldn't get out of it for a while, and the two thieves escaped by night, and I couldn't save the girl." After hearing this, Shangguan Qianye looked at the ground blankly, and said to himself: "I will save her back, this is the promise I gave her." ”
The two brothers lived in Chaoyang Temple in this way, and since that conversation with Wan Weiwang, Shangguan Qianye began to become silent, but Shangguan Ding was unaware of all this, a five-year-old child, who had no worries at all except noisy and playful every day. Shangguan Qianye was diligent in his hands and feet, and he almost did all the work in the small temple by himself, and cleaned the yard every day.
Every day Shangguan Qianye got up very early, and after a period of time, Shangguan Qianye found that Wan Weiwang got up earlier every day and practiced alone in the open space outside the temple gate. Since discovering this incident, Shangguan Qianye has gotten up early every day and waited outside the door early, watching Wan Weiwang practice martial arts.
Wan Weiwang treated him as a child, and he did not shy away from him, but let him watch and never say anything. Shangguan Qianye slowly discovered that Wan Weiwang's kung fu was really not comparable to Zhou Tong back then, his movements were agile, his tricks were amazing, and he practiced leisurely, completely intoxicating the whole person.
After a few days of watching, Shangguan Qianye had a new idea, why can't he worship Wan Daxia as a teacher? In this way, he can learn real good skills, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he can avenge the blood and revenge of the year. At night, Shangguan Qianye couldn't help but tell Shangguan Ding about this idea.
Shangguan Ding said: "Brother, you are not suitable for learning martial arts, your movements are too slow to beat people." Shangguan Qianye said: "What do you know as a child? I'm slow now, and I can be very fast after a few years of practice." ”
Shangguan Ding said again: "You always say that Wan Daxia's kung fu is very high, that's good, I'll get up early tomorrow to see how well he can practice." The little brother talked again, and then slept together.
The next day, the Shangguan brothers got up early, and they all sat at the gate of the temple before dawn, waiting for Wan Weiwang to come out to practice martial arts. After a while, Wan Weiwang came out with a single knife, saw that there was another small one at the door, smiled slightly, and then started a day's morning exercise. Shangguan Qianye was fascinated, but Shangguan Ding was a little sleepy on the side.
Shangguan Qianye glanced back at him and said, "The child didn't let you get up so early and didn't listen, now you know that you are sleepy, right?" Shangguan Ding pouted and said, "What? It's not that I want to be sleepy, it's that he doesn't practice well, and some of his movements are too slow, so how can he hit someone?" Wan Weiwang also heard Shangguan Ding's words, put away the knife, and was about to speak, when he saw the old man walk out, and said with a smile: "Okay, that's a good point, his knife technique is really not fast enough." Ding'er, can you tell me which of his moves is slow?"
Shangguan Ding said: "There are too many moves, I can't remember clearly." Shangguan Qianye hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense. The old man smiled: "No defense." Then he turned to Wan Weiwang and said, "You practice the sword technique just now again, and let Ding'er take a look." Wan Weiwang replied yes, and then practiced the knife technique he had just learned.
I saw Wan Weiwang will be vertical, jump high, show a knife flower in the air, and then a knife split, as soon as his feet landed, the person turned with the knife, one turned around and swept the knife, and then another back knife, the blade was picked up, and was waiting to change the move, Shangguan Ding shouted: "Stop!" Wan Weiwang was startled, and the knife was stopped. The old man smiled and asked, "Which move is slow?"
Shangguan Ding said: "Just now he slashed it with a knife, and then when he turned around, he was obviously much slower, and others could stab him with a sword." The old man exclaimed, "Oh?" and then said to Wan Weiwang: "You can practice another move for Ding'er to see." Wan Weiwang danced the steel knife again, and just practiced the two moves, Shangguan Ding shouted to stop again, and then said: "Just now he handed out a knife, and when he collected the knife, it was too slow, and others could step on the knife with their feet." ”
After hearing this, the old man exclaimed again: "Oh?" Wan Weiwang was also very surprised on the side. At this time, the old man walked slowly to the open space, took the knife in Wan Weiwang's hand, turned back to Shangguan Ding and said, "I'll practice for you, if it's slow, you can say it." Shangguan Ding was also not polite, and said in his mouth: "Well, you practice, I'll tell you if you're slow." ”
Wan Weiwang took a few steps back and watched from afar. Looking at the old man's body fluttering, the sword light flashed, and the lightning flashed in front of Shangguan Qianye's eyes, Shangguan Qianye couldn't see the old man's movements clearly. At this time, Shangguan Ding said: "Well, I practiced faster than him." The old man said in the light of the sword: "Just faster? Then you will see." As soon as the words fell, the old man's knife skills intensified, his body was like flying, and around his body was like a hundred and ten steel knives flying together, Shangguan Ding looked at it and said, "Well, it's okay now." ”
The old man said, "Okay? Okay, you can see it again." Saying that the knife technique was faster, several sword walls appeared in front of and behind the old man, not only Shangguan Qianye looked stunned, but even Wan Wei didn't dare to blink his eyes.
At this time, Shangguan Ding said: "Well, this kind of kung fu is good-looking." After hearing this, the old man suddenly stopped his move, handed the knife to Wan Weiwang, and then looked at Shangguan Ding with his hands behind his back, and said, "Look at it again." And then he said, "Do you see clearly?"
Shangguan Qianye opened his eyes wide and asked, "Old man, what are you looking at?" The old man laughed, and asked Shangguan Ding: "Ding'er, do you see clearly?" I saw Shangguan Ding pouting and saying, "I ignore you, why did you rush to me and make a face to scare me?" Shangguan Qianye said on the side: "Don't talk nonsense, the old gentleman has been standing there without moving." ”
At this time, the old man turned his head to look at Wan Weiwang and asked, "Did you see it?" Wan Weiwang said, "I only saw Master shake his body a little. After hearing this, the old man looked at Shangguan Ding again, and then spoke: "This son's reaction ability is at least six times more than that of ordinary people, today, there are only a handful of people who can be higher than this son, but unfortunately his own actions are only like ordinary people, if after several years of hard practice, who else will be the martial arts hegemon in the future?"
After the old man finished speaking, he turned back to Wan Weiwang and said, "Although Shangguan Qianye's reaction ability is far inferior to Ding'er, it can be seen that he is also a good martial arts material. I also saw their intentions today, presumably they want to worship you as a teacher, so you should accept him first. ”
After hearing this, Wan Weiwang said: "Master, have you forgotten, I once told Master that I will not accept apprentices until I ascend the Taidou Cliff. ”
The old man laughed and said, "Oh, if you don't mention it, I'll really forget." Good, ambitious. Then so be it, since you refuse to accept them as apprentices, then the teacher will help you accept two junior disciples. ”
After hearing this, Wan Weiwang said, "Everything is subject to Master's arrangement. Then he turned to Shangguan Qianye and Shangguan Ding and said, "Master promised to accept you two as apprentices, and I don't hurry up to thank Master." ”
Shangguan Qianye hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed, and called Master. Seeing his brother like this, Shangguan Ding also kowtowed, kowtowed a few times and stood up again, and asked, "You said that we should be our master, but I don't know what your name is." The old man laughed again. Wan Weiwang said on the side: "Our master is known as the Tieshan monk, and there are South Rulai and North Iron ...... in the rivers and lakes."
"Alright, alright. The Tieshan monk interrupted Wan Weiwang's words and said: "I told the children that they may not know, it is still a long time, we will slowly tell them what martial arts are and what rivers and lakes are." Then he said to Shangguan Ding: "Ding'er, are you really willing to worship me as a teacher?"
Shangguan Ding said: "Then you have to promise not to suddenly rush in front of me and make faces to scare me." After hearing this, the old monk of Tieshan laughed and said, "Okay, good, we'll make up our minds." ”
The next day, the four of them had a simple apprenticeship ceremony in the temple, so that the relationship between master and apprentice was formalized. However, what puzzled Shangguan Qianye was that in the past few days, the Tieshan monk had not taught his brothers any kung fu, and he just meditated cross-legged by himself every day.
However, the senior brother Wan Weiwang was very busy, and he had to go to the city several times a day, and every time he came back, he brought back a fat and big cat, but every time the master seemed to be very dissatisfied. The more Shangguan Qianye thought about it, the more strange it became, but he didn't dare to ask why, and Shangguan Ding still played his own game every day, never caring what others were doing. Finally one day, Wan Weiwang picked up another cat out of nowhere, the cat was very strong and had a very strong temperament, and the Tieshan monk finally nodded with satisfaction after seeing it.
