Chapter 6: Ten years of sharpening a sword

Spring goes to autumn, and ten years have passed.

In a deserted valley, a pleasant sound of the flute echoed throughout the valley, and all the birds and animals in the valley stopped obsessively in place, listening to this beautiful song.

Playing this beautiful note was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, with a face like a crown of jade and sword eyebrows, and a white robe swaying lightly in the wind, he was Jiang Yun when he grew up.

At the end of the song, the birds and beasts scattered, and in a blink of an eye, only Jiang Yun was left.

At this time, Dugu Nanfeng's old figure came in the distance, ten years have made him enter the twilight of his life, in the past ten years, under Dugu Nanfeng's careful teaching, Jiang Yun has done his best. However, in the past ten years, Dugu Nanfeng did not say a word about Jiang Yun's father-killing enemy, and whenever Jiang Yun asked, he only said "The time has not come".

"Yes, you have reached the realm of 'unity of man and flute', and you have almost learned the mastery of the old man's life, it's time to go to the rivers and lakes to break through!" Dugu Nanfeng nodded in appreciation.

"Master, I have been learning art with you for ten years, and I beg Master to tell me about my father-killing enemy!" Jiang Yun said with some unsteady emotions.

Dugu Nanfeng sighed softly, this matter has always been like a fish in Jiang Yun's throat, and whenever he thinks of this time, his heart will fluctuate. If this continues, Jiang Yun will never be able to comprehend the "Nine Sounds of Soul Snatching", this is Dugu Nanfeng's lifelong pursuit, his time is running out, Dugu Nanfeng pinned all this last expectation on Jiang Yun's body, it seems that it is time to inform him of this matter.

"Okay, I'll tell you about it, but you have to promise to be a teacher!"

"Master, please speak!" Jiang Yun said with a look of surprise on his face.

"This matter is a long story, ten years ago" Dugu Nanfeng told Jiang Yun the ins and outs of the whole thing.

"'Hundred-faced Langjun'?" Jiang Yun asked puzzledly, because he hadn't stepped into the rivers and lakes yet, so he didn't know much about the rivers and lakes.

Dugu Nanfeng thought for a moment and said, "No one knows what this person's real name is, and no one has seen him, only that his one-handed disguise technique has been superb. And this person is also good at bone shrinking, he can even transform into the appearance of a child, which is difficult to guard. This person's martial arts are also unfathomable, and even being a teacher is not his opponent. You have to promise to be a teacher, and when you have not comprehended the last form of the 'Nine Sounds of Soul Snatching', you must not seek revenge from this person, otherwise, the teacher will not allow you to leave!"

"Okay, I promise Master! Before I practice the 'Nine Sounds of Soul Snatching', I will never seek revenge on this person!" Jiang Yun gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

"This time you go down the mountain, you check by the way, the mysterious person who entrusted your father to escort the martial arts treasure, I suspect that this is a long-planned conspiracy, and they have nothing to do with your father's death!" Dugu Nanfeng replied with a relaxed face, what he was most worried about was Jiang Yun's desire for revenge, and now Jiang Yun was far from being the enemy's opponent.

After a while, Dugu Nanfeng took out a white jade flute from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Yun.

"This 'Han Yu Xiao' has followed the old man for more than 60 years, and now I will give it to you as a teacher, I hope you will comprehend the 'Nine Sounds of Soul Snatching' as soon as possible!"

Jiang Yun was slightly stunned, but still took the jade flute in his hand, "Master, please rest assured, the apprentice will definitely not live up to Master's expectations!"

"Yun'er, the rivers and lakes are sinister and unpredictable, you must be more careful in your actions in the future, and you only say three points when you meet people, you have to remember!" Dugu Nanfeng instructed.

"Apprentice, remember Master's teachings!" Jiang Yun knelt on the ground and bowed to Master three times to thank Master for his teaching and nurturing grace.

After simply packing up a few clothes and some coils, Jiang Yun said goodbye to the master with tears

Tongzhou Jinling City, as one of the ancient capitals of the Six Dynasties, Jinling City is unusually prosperous, the city is full of traffic, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians and traders.

A handsome young man dressed in white followed the flow of people to the foot of the Jinling City Gate, he looked up at the majestic city gate, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Coming to the city, Jiang Yun was shocked by the thousand-year-old ancient capital, he had never seen such a prosperous and lively place after living in the mountains for a long time, and the Lanyue City in his memory was a little vague compared to this big city, just like the light of a grain of rice compared to Haoyue, and he didn't know if Lanyue City was still the same as when he was a child after so many years.

A passing figure interrupted Jiang Yun's thoughts, "Borrow, borrow!"

Jiang Yun looked back and saw a hairy boy in a gray coarse cloth robe, hurriedly passing through the crowd. Jiang Yun touched his waist suddenly, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The gray-robed young man turned left and right to a corner alley, "he" let out a long sigh of relief, happily took out a few money bags from his arms, and put them in his hands.

"Can you give me back my purse?"

When the gray-robed young man heard the sound, he looked up, only to see a handsome man in white standing at the end of the alley, and the gray-robed young man couldn't help but look a little obsessed.

"Give me back my money bag!" Jiang Yun's voice sounded again.

He looked at the short boy in front of him a little strangely, and he didn't understand why this young man was taking his money bag, and he was looking at himself with such strange eyes.

The gray-robed young man immediately came back to his senses, "he" quickly put the money bag in his hand into his arms, and said with a nervous expression, "What money bag? When did I take your money bag?"

Jiang Yun pointed to the gray-robed young man's waist and said, "My money bag is on you, if you don't give it to me, I'll take it myself!"

As soon as he heard this, the gray-robed young man immediately panicked, "he" tightly covered his clothes for fear that Jiang Yun would come over to search his body, and after thinking about it for a while, the gray-robed young man took out a black money bag with some strangeness in his eyes and threw it to Jiang Yun.

"I'll give it back to you! It's just a few dozen taels of silver, stingy ghost!"

Putting the money bag back away, Jiang Yun walked out of the alley, and not long after he left, several fierce men appeared at the mouth of the alley and blocked the gray-robed young man inside.

"Third Master, it's this kid who stole your money bag!" said one of the men with a very big mouth, and said to a burly man with a scar on the left side of his face.

The man with the scar known as the "Third Master" spat at the mouth with anger on his face, and said viciously, "Good boy, eat mixed rice in Huang Sanye's place, don't come to honor your third master, and dare to fight your third master's idea, brothers chop off this kid's hand for me!"

The gray-robed young man stared at him with some fear, and several men who came forward with wooden sticks in their hands thought quickly, and suddenly "he" had an idea and said.

"It's not that I'm going to steal your money bag, it's my eldest brother who asked me to do this, my eldest brother is in front, if you don't believe me, I can take you to him!"

"Third master, this kid has a big brother!" the big-mouthed man whispered at Huang San.

"Okay, you can take us to your eldest brother, if you dare to deceive you Huang Sanye, be careful of the big knife in your third master's hand!" Huang San shook the big knife in his hand and threatened the gray-robed young man and said.

Jiang Yun, who had just walked out of the alley, suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him
