Chapter 14: Travels

In an inn, everyone gathered around a table, and Yin Zhiping kept looking at Min'er, who had been chatting happily with a smile on Ye Fan's face.

Ma Yu and the three of them talked about today's beggar gang, and at the same time told everyone about Ye Fan's set and Lu Youjiao.

After hearing this, several people felt that Ye Fan was pure in heart and righteous in his heart.

Ma Yu even half-jokingly and half-regretted that he shouldn't have given Ye Fan to Ma Yu, and should have been put in the door wall to teach well, which made others laugh happily and made Yin Zhiping's face even more gloomy.

Ma Yu asked, "Why did you two come to Zhongdu too?"

Sun Buer said: "I heard that the senior brother received an apprentice, specially came with him to see, on the way to the arrival happened to hear that today's beggar gang righteous act, originally planned to come to help, this is the first step to let Min'er and Zhiping follow, but here, the beggar gang has been evacuated, we have been waiting for the two of them not to come, afraid that they will encounter danger, a little anxious, this is just to go, just to see Zhiping and Fan'er fighting"

"So that's the case," Ma Yu understood.

During the meal, Qiu Chuji said that he would leave later, and there were important things to do, Ma Yu looked for him, the former suddenly sighed, and said in detail about the bet between Jiaxing Mansion and the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan ten years ago, and then said: "Yang Kang I have found and accepted them as apprentices, but their mother and son are now trapped in Zhao Wangfu, alas, I have sworn to find a wife and children for the dead Brother Yang, and I will take good care of their mother and son and bring Yang Kang to the right path."

Except for Ye Fan, the few people present were shocked and sad when they heard this kind of thing, and everyone was speechless for a long time. After a moment of silence, Qiu Chuji said: "Senior brother, you are so reckless, the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan are benevolent and righteous, it is not wrong for you to let them look for Guo's mother and son, but it is not too big to have eighteen years of martial arts, if they lose, this eighteen will not only drag you down in vain, but also waste your hard work and waste your time, you may be at ease?"

Sun Buer also nodded in agreement: "Senior brother, you admit defeat, this matter has little to do with the Seven Heroes, they don't want to lose to you before they bet with you, you have already dragged them down, forget it"

Qiu Chuji sighed, but his tone was still firm: "I also know that eighteen years is a drag for them, but a man must do what he says in the world, how can he change what he says at will."

Ma Yu and the others knew that his temperament had always been like this, so they didn't persuade him more, and only hoped that Guo Jing would win, so that they could make up for the Jiangnan Seven Monsters, otherwise, they all felt that they couldn't go.

After the meal, Qiu Chuji took Yin Zhiping and left, and their trip was to teach Yang Kang martial arts. Sun Bu came a second time to see his stubborn character, and he also left with Min'er.

At present, there are only Ma Yu and Ye Fan left, and they choose to stay in the inn.

At night, Ma Yu called Ye Fan to the room.

"Master"

Ma Yu smiled and nodded motioning for him to sit down, and said, "Fan'er, my Quanzhen Sect was founded by the ancestor Wang Chongyang, you should also know this" Ye Fan nodded.

"Since the return of the first teacher, my uncle Zhou Botong suddenly disappeared ten years ago, I have not contributed much as the head of the sect, and now I accept you as a disciple, I don't ask you to benefit the sect, I just hope that you will behave properly and act chivalrous in the future."

Ye Fan nodded yes.

Ma Yu smiled, even if he didn't say this, I believe Ye Fan could do it.

"We all know about you and Zhiping today, don't be suspicious, although Zhiping is arrogant, and his behavior is a little deviant and weird, but his nature is not bad, you will be brothers in the same sect in the future, and you should love each other."

Ye Fan nodded in agreement.

"I have a few sets of introductory swordsmanship in the Quanzhen Sect, I will teach you in the future, now I will pass on to you some internal skills for cultivating the mind, you have a good foundation, you must be able to integrate yourself, which will help you enhance your strength, and you will also have the ability to protect yourself when you encounter a strong enemy in the future."

Ye Fan nodded happily.

Although Ma Yu's martial arts are not the highest in the Quanzhen Sect, his understanding of Taoism can be said to be the most shrewd one, which has a lot to do with his pure nature, no desire and no desire, he patiently explained, Ye Fan studied very seriously, and at the same time said some questions that he didn't understand on the Jiuyin Sutra now, although Ma Yu was very curious, and felt that what Ye Fan said seemed to have some origin with Taoism, but he still explained it carefully.

With the Nine Yin True Scripture as the foundation, coupled with Ma Yu's explanation and assistance, Ye Fan quickly had a comprehension of the second layer of the 'internal force separation' mental method, and broke through the so-called bottleneck that night and continued to cultivate smoothly.

The move of the Meteor Hokage Step has now entered the fourth level, but Ye Fan's mental method internal force is still at the stage of the second heaven, he plans to spend all his energy on cultivating the internal force recently, with a good foundation and superb moves, then he can shine, and now no matter how strong the move is, the internal strength of the mental method is not good, and the strength is limited after all.

As for the Quanzhen Sect taught by Master Ma Yu, Ye Fan also wants to learn it, which is conducive to learning some martial arts moves of the Quanzhen Sect in the future, not to mention that the Nine Yin True Scripture has a great relationship with the Taoist Mind Method, and he must lay a good foundation, but most of his energy is still focused on the Meteor Fire Shadow Step's mental method.

For a period of time, Ye Fan followed Ma Yu's side, the two walked the rivers and lakes to eliminate evil and promote good, Ma Yu is very kind, he rarely kills people, every time he encounters a treacherous person, he still doesn't want to kill the killer, just seriously injure him, and be patient.

In a year's time, Ye Fan only saw Ma Yu kill three people, two of them were flower thieves who raped girls, and the other was traitors who betrayed the country to seek glory.

During this period, Ye Fan saw the hatred between the Song people and the Jin people, and saw the Jin people burning, killing and looting, robbing the Song people's property in broad daylight, occupying girls, and wantonly killing people.

In a year's time, Ma Yu took Ye Fan to travel in the north and south for a small part of his time, the purpose of which was to let him increase his experience in the rivers and lakes, understand the sinister hearts of people, and teach from time to time, some great principles of life and some of his own insights.

On the other hand, I hope that he will increase his adaptability to the enemy in actual combat, and guide and correct him, with good intentions, Ye Fan can feel his love for himself and his hard work.

In the continuous cultivation of actual combat and peacetime, Ye Fan's experience and strength are also improving in an orderly manner, and now he knows some rough moves in fists and feet and swordsmanship, presumably the improvement of internal force is what makes Ma Yu the happiest.

Outside a small forest, Ma Yu handed Ye Fan two pieces of baked cakes, "Fan'er, today's internal force is already a double heaven, and the qualifications are really good, much stronger than the master back then."

Ye Fan took the baked cake and smiled, "The master taught well"

Ma Yu laughed: "The master practiced martial arts hard every day with his junior sister before he entered the Quanzhen Sect, and it was only at the age of twenty that the internal strength broke through the double heaven, and the external strength was even more of a mess" He seemed to recall and said slowly: "Later, I followed the master into the Quanzhen Sect, and after the master's on-demand, the strength has increased a lot, but now that all these years have passed, the internal force is only six heavens, and the more the internal force is practiced, the more difficult it is to practice, this kind of strength can only be regarded as average in the rivers and lakes" He looked at Ye Fan with satisfaction: " I don't have any pursuits in my life, and now God has let me meet you, I suddenly feel that I have a pursuit, watching you grow day by day, this satisfaction has suddenly become my greatest hope now, hehe" He said with a smug smile.

Ye Fan also smiled. Don't look at Ma Yu's age, but he actually has no experience in teaching apprentices, he just wants to educate well, teach the great principles of life, and hope that he will be good, and he will do his best to teach him martial arts, for fear that he will not be able to protect himself when he encounters danger.

This kind of education method is actually a big taboo among masters and apprentices, he is just blindly caring, unwilling to blame, even to the point of spoiling, it is easy to spoil the apprentice, but fortunately, Ye Fan is different from ordinary people, he has his own principles and standards of life, otherwise he will change to Yin Zhiping, and he will have relied on this kind of spoiling bucket to get out of the big basket.

After a moment's pause, the master and apprentice set out on the road again, and now they were in Xiangyang, and soon after they checked into an inn as a temporary rest.

At night, Ye Fan was practicing internal strength in the house, and there was a sudden sound of slight footsteps in Ma Yu's room next to him, he opened his eyes and listened curiously for a while, and the sound quickly disappeared.

Ye Fan turned over and got out of bed, opened the door and walked over, only to see that the room was dark and he couldn't see anything clearly, he felt a little uneasy, and gently knocked on the door, "Master"

Ye Fan waited for a while, but there was no movement inside, and he slammed the door again, "Master?"

There was still no movement inside, Ye Fan was a little puzzled, cultivators were especially strong towards Ma Yu, not to mention shouting, even if the footsteps were close to ten meters, he could wake up, and now the only explanation was that there was no one inside.

Ye Fan pushed the door and entered, lit the light, and sure enough, Ma Yu didn't know where to go, and even the sword he carried was gone.
