Chapter 20: The First Enlightenment of Kendo

Shangguan Rou protested when she heard this: "Grandpa is not fair, Rou'er also has to go to Taiyuan Mansion with Senior Brother." ”

Qiu Haotian shook his head and said with a smile: "The little girl loves to be lively so much, so I will let you go and experience it too, but on the way, you must listen to your senior brother and learn more martial arts from him." ”

Shangguan Rou was overjoyed, and arched into Qiu Haotian's arms.

Although the two grandfathers and grandsons have been together for a short time, it can be seen that the relationship is very deep.

Seeing this, Song Yuanlan was so anxious that she shouted: "Daddy, my daughter and Sister Zhimei are like brothers, and this time I will go to Taiyuan Mansion with Shaoning to save people." ”

Song Changgeng was embarrassed when he heard this. He knows this daughter's ability best, and he can brag about it in the county, but if he really encounters a robber, it will only add to the burden on people. And Song Changgeng understands that Song Yuanlan can't let go of Chai Shaoning in her heart after all, so she has to go along, if she lets her daughter take advantage of the situation, how can she be worthy of the spirit of the Lin Yuan Master and his wife in the sky? How can she be worthy of Lin Zhimei, who is still suffering at the hands of thieves?

Thinking of this, Song Changgeng was just about to reprimand his daughter, and Fang Xiaoyun next to him said: "Sister Yuanlan is willing to go, we are very welcome, there is one more person to accompany you on the way, and there is also more liveliness, everyone works together, forgive those thieves and dare not take the initiative to provoke." ”

The girl's family is careful, Fang Xiaoyun has already seen Song Yuanlan's intentions, she hopes to form a real husband and wife with her senior brother, and she is in a good mood, and she hopes that all lovers in the world can eventually become married, so she speaks to help.

Chai Shaoning glanced at Song Yuanlan, he didn't want to add a burden, but since Fang Xiaoyun had already agreed, he had nothing to say.

Song Yuanlan raised her eyes to look at Fang Xiaoyun gratefully, seeing Fang Xiaoyun smiling, she looked at her and then at Chai Shaoning, knowing that her heart was exposed, but she was not shy, and secretly winked at Fang Xiaoyun.

Fang Xiaoyun smiled, and had a good impression of Song Yuanlan's frankness.

Song Changgeng was also born as a martial arts practitioner, and of course he hoped that his daughter could become close friends with these young masters, so he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth. As for the relationship between Song Yuanlan and Chai Shaoning, it will be left to the will of heaven and let them young people solve it themselves.

Shangguan Rou and Song Yuanlan each got their wishes, and chattered and laughed excitedly.

Everyone felt funny when they saw that these two little ones had suddenly become good sisters because of this incident, and the atmosphere in the hall was lively.

Chai Shaoning took out the sword book from his arms, and bowed to Qiu Haotian and said, "Senior Qiu, I want to give this 'Youlong Sword Book' to Teacher Chen and Song County Order, I don't know if it's appropriate?"

Song Changgeng and Chen Zhongshou listened, and hurriedly waved their hands together.

Qiu Haotian laughed and said: "Shaoning, since you have inherited the mastery of the Dragon Swordsmanship, from now on, you will be the Dragon Swordsman, and the Dragon Swordsman will be you." What's wrong with you giving away the sword book?"

When Chai Shaoning heard this, pride swelled in his chest, and he stuffed the sword book into Chen Zhongshou's hand and said: "Teacher Chen and Master Song want to refuse, the dragon sword technique is a symbol of justice, as long as you can get rid of the traitor and defend the way, everyone in the world will make it, so what's the matter?"

Seeing that Chai Shaoning's heart was so open-minded, Qiu Haotian praised from the bottom of his heart: "That's a good point! Shaoning put aside the concept of the portal, if he can carry forward the dragon sword technique from now on and add strength to the righteous, the dragon swordsmen of the past generations will definitely applaud and applaud." ”

Song Changgeng and Chen Zhongshou saw that these people were all heroic and capable people, and they couldn't be too modest, which hurt Chai Shaoning's heart. At that moment, the two glanced at each other, no longer shirked, and Chen Zhongshou solemnly took the sword book into his arms.

"Shaoning!" Qiu Haotian called lightly, attracting Chai Shaoning's attention, and then asked, "You lost to Lu Xiufeng, that old thief, that night, can you tell me more about the process of fighting at that time?"

When everyone heard that Qiu Haotian was going to instruct Chai Shaoning on martial arts, they all stopped talking and listened quietly.

Listening to Chai Shaoning talk about the feeling of being powerless at that time, Qiu Haotian's eyes flashed with a sudden look, and he nodded: "In terms of internal strength alone, Shaoning, you have been given a godsend, although you can't give full play to the power of the Chiyang Bead now, but that's just a matter of time." In time, when you see through the heavens, I am afraid that no one in the world will be able to match you. It's just that Shaoning, you may not have really comprehended the essence of the Dragon Sword Technique, so that when you make a move, you are too blunt, more than fierce, and not flexible enough, so that Lu Xiufeng, the old thief, has a chance. ”

Chai Shaoning was stunned when he heard it, he admitted that due to the lack of a teacher who is well versed in swordsmanship, his understanding of the dragon swordsmanship is very superficial, but since the power of Chiyang Zhu is the best in the world, it should give full play to its strengths, right, where does the saying "more than strong, not enough flexible" come from?

But thinking about the scene when he fought against Lu Xiufeng that night, he was indeed tied, and he was forced by the other party to be unable to perform, and he had a feeling of being powerful and embarrassed. Now that there are peerless masters like Xihuang Xia Yin who are willing to give guidance, Chai Shaoning will certainly not let go of the opportunity, he rushed to Qiu Haotian and said: "I hope the seniors will give advice!"

Qiu Haotian didn't answer, but looked up, and said with a slight sadness in his tone: "If my old friend Qu Tongya is still alive, how can he let his disciple take this detour?"

Chai Shaoning said without thinking: "Although the younger generation has not seen it, since it is called the 'Dragon Sword Technique', it should naturally be a sword." ”

Qiu Haotian said meaningfully: "It's a sword, but it's a soft sword!"

"Soft sword?" Chai Shaoning didn't understand the difference at first, but then he thought that there were indeed many slashing movements in Youlong's swordsmanship, which were very different from Zeng Tong's swordsmanship, so much so that he sometimes felt that making a knife was more convenient than making a sword. But the sword body is weaker than the sword body, if you can't follow the trend, rely on the stiffness of the sword body alone to defeat the enemy, the power of the sword move is bound to be greatly reduced, and if you use a soft sword, it is not the potential way, the strength is just right, to reach the realm of natural perfection, otherwise under the hard touch, from the weapon, has suffered a big loss.

As soon as he thought of this, Chai Shaoning suddenly realized, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Qiu Haotian saw it in his eyes, knowing that Chai Shaoning had figured out the key in the blink of an eye, and couldn't help but secretly praise this son for being smart, and said happily: "Shaoning is worthy of being the heir of my old friend, if you can still go with the flow in the fierce battle, and fight against manpower with the way of heaven, you will be invincible." ”

These words came out of Qiu Haotian's mouth, and of course the weight was extremely heavy, and everyone immediately became happy for Chai Shaoning.

Chen Zhongshou said regretfully: "It's a pity that the Dragon Mind Method has disappeared!"

Qiu Haotian laughed and said, "Everything depends on fate." Shaoning's internal force is born naturally, and replacing people with heavenly power is not stronger than any mental method?"

Chai Shaoning listened to Qiu Haotian's words, which coincided with the original teacher Lin Xiaoru's evaluation of himself. Now the words are still in his ears, and the person is gone, thinking of the teacher's teachings and the love of the teacher, his eyes are red, and he sheds tears.

Song Changgeng saw that Qiu Haotian, Geng Qiuwen and others were all looking at Chai Shaoning in amazement, so he recounted his views on Chai Shaoning's internal strength when the master of the forest courtyard was alive that day.

Qiu Haotian was also sighing when he heard that he was such a wise man, and he couldn't meet him.

At this point, everyone lost interest in talking. Song Changgeng, Chen Zhongshou, Song Yuanlan said goodbye and left, and Chai Shaoning and others also went back to the house to rest.

Early the next morning, Song Changgeng, Chen Zhongshou, and Song Yuanlan rushed to the academy, accompanied everyone to breakfast, and sent Chai Shaoning, Qiu Haotian, Geng Qiuwen, Fang Xiaoyun, and Shangguan Rou out of the city.

After three hours of crossing the mountains and mountains, Chai Shaoning led Qiu Haotian and others to Chaijia Village.

Entering a small courtyard surrounded by a half-height earthen wall, two old kilns appeared in front of you.

Before everyone had time to see Chai Shaoning's uncle and aunt, the villagers who were looking forward to Chai Shaoning's exemption from a year's land endowment for the mountain village had heard the news and came to Chai Shaoning's door to inquire about the results.

Facing everyone's eager eyes, Chai Shaoning fell to the ground and truthfully told the failure of the scientific examination.

Although the villagers were disappointed, these people were simple in nature and did not complain too much about Chai Shaoning, and after sighing for a while, they began to ask about the origin of Qiu Haotian and others.

Chai Shaoning knew that the villagers were not familiar with the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and only said that these people were the friends he had made in the city of Bitouguan.

The villagers had never seen a figure as elegant as Qiu Haotian? They were amazed, and they all believed that Chai Shaoning had become acquainted with powerful people, and more and more people gathered around Chai Shaoning's house like a market.

Chai Shaoning was in a hurry when he saw it, and he didn't know how to persuade the villagers to disperse? In the midst of the commotion, a voice suddenly sounded: "Thank you folks, my little nephew has just arrived home, let him rest and take a breath, and then talk to everyone in detail about this trip, please let the villagers disperse first!"

Qiu Haotian looked up when he heard the sound, and saw an old man in his fifties squeezing in from behind the crowd, his appearance was somewhat similar to Chai Shaoning, although his clothes were shabby and full of patches, he was cleaned up, his eyes were calm, and his expression was still very calm in the face of the surging crowd.

When Chai Shaoning saw the old man, he shouted happily: "Uncle, Ning'er is back!"

"Shaoning, you're back!" Before Uncle Chai could respond, a woman in her forties squeezed into the crowd, with a slightly fat face and a kind appearance, and walked over by calling Chai Shaoning's name.

Qiu Haotian and the others thought that this woman was Aunt Chai, but they heard her say: "Shaoning, you have been gone for a month and a half, but you think badly about your aunt, and you come to my house to nag every day." If you don't come back, my ears will be calloused. ”

Chai Shaoning said with a smile: "Thank you Aunt Li, it's a shame that Aunt Li helps take care of the uncle and aunt, otherwise I won't be able to go out." ”

"This kid is getting better and better at talking. Aunt Li smiled and leaned sideways to give way to an old woman behind her.

The old woman who followed Aunt Li had gray temples, seemed to be more than ten years older than Uncle Chai, her expression was elegant, and her demeanor was very unusual from that of an ordinary village woman.

When the old woman heard Aunt Li complaining about herself, she just smiled and said, "Aunt Li is gossiping about me again." As he spoke, he first went to the middle of the kiln and unlocked it, stood on the side of the door and said to Chai Shaoning: "Shaoning still doesn't invite guests to enter the house?" After that, he bowed to Qiu Haotian and the four of them, and said with a smile: "The house is simple, and the guests are slow!"
