Wan Weiwang and Shangguan Qianye saw their weapons thrown by the old man in the pool, and they couldn't think about anything more in a hurry. The two of them jumped into the water almost at the same time.

And the old man just smiled at them, and did not stop them. The two brothers jumped into the water and swam to their weapons. Fortunately, both of them grew up by the sea and are familiar with water, otherwise I am afraid that they will never find two knives again.

After a while, the two of them each grabbed the handle of their knives and tried to float upward. At this moment, he felt a strong current of water rushing towards him, and it was too late to change the direction of his body, so he had to be caught by the current. After floating for a while, Shangguan Qianye couldn't hold his breath a little, spit out the last big bubble from his mouth, and then peeked at Wan Weiwang.

Wan Weiwang was also looking at him, constantly gesturing with his own hand, signaling him not to give up. After a while, the two of them felt that their eyes were bright, and they saw the blue sky through the water, and the senior brother and brother were both happy in their hearts, and then kicked down a few times with their feet, and their heads quickly exposed the water.

The two brothers gasped for breath, and it took a long time to stabilize. Then I looked around, and it turned out to be a small river, with mountains on one bank and meadows on the other. The two brothers swam to the shore and lay down to rest for a while.

Wan Weiwang said: "It turns out that the old man used a weapon to lure us out of the cave. ”

Shangguan Qianye said: "Yes, but I don't know who the old man is, he actually has such a high figure." ”

Wan Weiwang said: "I don't know very well, in today's rivers and lakes, there should be few people with such a body, but I really haven't seen this person." ”

The two brothers got up and continued walking, and after several days of bumps, they finally returned to the boundary of Ningyuan Prefecture.

When they entered Ningyuan City, the hearts of the two of them were very uncomfortable. Originally, there were three people who left, but now when they come back, there are only two brothers, Shangguan Ding died in the mountain stream, and there is no way to find the bones, I really don't know how to explain to the master after I go back.

Shangguan Qianye walked all the way, looking at this familiar land all the way, tears flowed again and again, he couldn't help but think of the time when he grew up with Shangguan Ding, everything seemed to be still in front of him, but that figure was now so far away from him.

When they returned to Shoushan and entered the mountain gate of Chaoyang Temple, they saw the figure of the Tieshan monk sitting with their backs to the mountain gate in the main hall, and the two of them immediately knelt down there, crying silently.

The Iron Mountain Monk slowly turned around, looked at the two of them and asked, "You're back, where is Ding'er?"

Shangguan Qianye lost his voice and said: "Ding'er was knocked down into the mountain stream by Yang Benmo with a boulder!"

After hearing this, Tieshan Monk's eyes moistened, and he sighed and said, "I originally wanted you to see the real rivers and lakes, but I didn't expect to pay such a heavy price. ”

Wan Weiwang said: "Master, have you ever received a letter from your apprentice, and the secret weapon in the letter?" Tieshan Monk said: "I received it, I didn't expect that Yang Benmo to be so vicious and repeatedly kill my disciples. ”

Shangguan Qianye said, "Master, since you already know, why don't you save us?"

After hearing this, the Iron Mountain monk sighed and turned away.

Wan Weiwang said: "Senior brother, you don't know, Master also has something unspeakable, it's not that he doesn't want to go down the mountain, you don't know the reason for this, you won't know, you better don't ask." ”

Shangguan Qianye also knew that if the master didn't have something, he would never fail to go down the mountain, so he didn't ask any more.

After a while, the Tieshan monk turned around again and said, "Then Yang Benmo may also know that I will no longer go down the mountain, so he dares to be so presumptuous. The last thing I wanted was the bitter fruit I planted, and my juniors had to bear it, but it all happened. ”

Shangguan Qianye asked again, "Master, do you know anything about that secret weapon?"

The Tieshan monk said: "I know the seven-colored flower, but I haven't heard of the secret weapon made of this flower when I walked the rivers and lakes. There are many sects that use hidden weapons on the rivers and lakes, and it is difficult to determine which sect did it for a while. ”

Shangguan Qianye was deflated again after hearing this. But kneeling there and said blankly: "Master, if you can't go down the mountain, then Ding'er will die in vain?"

Tieshan monk said: "Qianye, we must avenge Ding'er's revenge." I will send a post about the green forest, spread the news, and tell Yang Benmo that I am waiting for him here, and if he dares to come, you will be at your disposal at that time. ”

Shangguan Qianye said: "Then what if he doesn't dare to come?"

Tieshan Monk said: "You don't have to worry, I have other ways for you to take revenge." The two of you have just come back today, and you must be tired, so let's go rest and rest, and when we have the spirit, we will talk about this matter. ”

Master's words have always made the disciples obey their words, so Wan Weiwang and Shangguan Qianye didn't say anything more, and went back to their rooms to rest.

Shangguan Qianye returned to the room, this room was originally lived by the two of them together, but now when the door was opened, all that was left for him was endless loneliness and longing.

Shangguan Qianye lay down, although he was very tired, he still thought about the happy times of the two brothers over and over again, tears blurred his eyes, wet the pillow, and I don't know how long it took for him to finally fall asleep.

When the two brothers woke up, it was already the next day, and although their eyes were still swollen, their spirits were much better than the previous day.

The three of them had a brief breakfast, and the Tieshan monk asked them carefully about their descent from the mountain. Wan Weiwang told the story roughly, and when it came to the old man from the ancient cave, the Tieshan monk was also a monk.

Wan Weiwang asked, "Master, do you know who this old man is?"

The Tieshan monk said: "I have been in the rivers and lakes for decades, and I have never heard of any ancient caves from the dust, so it must be a hermit in the deep mountains."

When the two brothers saw that the master didn't know who the man in the mountain was, they didn't continue to ask, not to mention that now it seems that although the old man is not a friend, he is not an enemy after all.

Shangguan Qianye said: "Master, I never thought that the kung fu of the Proud Sword Sect had progressed so fast, and with the skills of my senior brother and me, it seems that it is far inferior to them. If this continues, the danger we face on the rivers and lakes will be even greater, and we don't know how to deal with it. ”

After hearing this, the Tieshan monk laughed and said: "Qianye, I let you go down the mountain this time, just to let you know what the real rivers and lakes are! The rivers and lakes are never static, if you are still the same today after ten years, then what are you still called? I let you go down the mountain, just to let you know your own advantages, and at the same time, you can see your own shortcomings more clearly. In the few years that you have been practicing martial arts in the mountains, you have naturally made great progress. Compared with what you used to be, it can be said that there is a world of difference, so you will no longer take the former enemies in your eyes, thinking that if you go down the mountain, as long as you see them, you can take revenge one by one. But you didn't expect that when you were practicing martial arts, people were not idle, so everyone was improving, and the kung fu of the Proud Sword Sect started earlier than you, and people stole the sword book everywhere, constantly enriching their own technical content, so it is not easy for you to have a tie with them. ”

Shangguan Qianye asked discouraged after hearing this: "Master, from this point of view, we don't have the ability to defeat them in this life?"

Tieshan Monk said, "Qianye, it seems that you have forgotten what I said to you at the beginning. As I said, martial arts are nothing more than speed, strength, and moves, and more deeply, internal strength and cultivation. And normal people who practice martial arts, speed and strength are not much different, so what they fight is moves, and there are very few people in the world like Zhangying Rulai and Ding'er. ”

Shangguan Qianye asked, "But the sword technique Flame Dragon Fury that Master taught us, I have been proficient for several years, isn't it subtle enough?"

After hearing this, the Iron Mountain Monk sank his face and said, "You and I use the same sword technique, can you defeat me in battle?"

Shangguan Qianye said: "Master, the disciple can't. ”

Tieshan Monk said: "Any kind of martial art, its own room for improvement is infinite, as long as you practice more, your progress will naturally be better day by day." If we don't have new moves, then we have to work our skills and adapt to all changes with the same, which is fundamental. ”

After the Tieshan monk finished speaking, he suddenly laughed again, and the two brothers couldn't guess what was going on with the master.

The Iron Mountain monk continued, "Fortunately, your master doesn't just use Flame Dragon Fury, so you have other ways to improve. ”

Shangguan Qianye asked anxiously, "Master, do you really have any other sword skills?"

Tieshan Monk said, "Do you think that I can sit on the throne of the Martial Arts Alliance Master with just one set of Flame Dragon Fury?"

Shangguan Qianye and Wan Weiwang said happily: "Master, do you still have a mastery?"

Tieshan Jushi nodded, and Shangguan Qianye asked again, "Then why didn't Master teach us together at the beginning?"

Tieshan Monk said: "A set of Flame Dragon Fury, although it can be regarded as the best martial art in the martial arts, but if there is no other set of sword techniques of mine to match, then its power will be greatly reduced." The reason why I don't teach you all the sword techniques is that I want you to go to the rivers and lakes first to test your character. If you use your own skills to harm the people, then not only will I not teach you another set of sword techniques, but I will also take your heads. Fortunately, although you have hatred in your heart, Qianye, your character should be superior, and this is not in vain I have high hopes for you. And although Ding'er is talented, his methods are too vicious when he competes, and because of this, he should have this catastrophe in his life. As for whether he can turn evil into good fortune, it depends on his personal creation, if he can survive the catastrophe and be reborn through this lesson, it would be great. ”

Wan Weiwang and Qianye knelt on the ground and said, "Please master teach us another set of sword techniques." ”

Tieshan Monk said: "Okay, then today I will teach you another set of sword techniques, and the combination of these two sets of sword techniques will show its true power." And that's really all I've learned in my life. However, it is limited to the extremely lethal effect of the combination of the two sets of knife techniques, so I have thought about it for a long time before, and although I will teach it to you today, I am also forced to do so. Therefore, I still teach you the same as when I taught you the Flame Dragon Fury, and I only teach you for three days, and whether you can comprehend the true meaning depends on whether you are attentive or not. ”
