CHAPTER XVII

When: two years later.

Location: Nameless Valley in the back mountain of Huashan.

A young man dressed in coarse linen clothes, holding a long sword in his hand, practiced swords in the open space, flying sand and stones, and falling leaves scattered. If you look closely, you will find that his swordsmanship seems to be chaotic, but it seems to contain some profound truth.

"Okay, okay, Broken Son, your Dugu Nine Sword has already achieved a few things, and now it's short of actual combat experience. ”

Feng Qingyang looked at Dugu Duan, who was practicing swords, and looked approving, this apprentice's talent is too high.

"Master, don't apprentices often compete with you in sword fights? Dugu stopped and smiled.

"Alas...... Broken children, after all, the teacher also uses a sword, Dugu Jiujian is known as breaking the world's martial arts, you need to fight with people with all kinds of weapons now, and you should also go to the rivers and lakes to practice. Feng Qingyang sighed.

"Yes, Master!"

Dugu Duan's heart was inexplicably excited, and he was finally going down the mountain. Then he smiled and said, "But Master, I can't bear you, or you will go down the mountain with me." ”

"Get out, you bastard, you'll be happy as a teacher. Feng Qingyang scolded with a smile.

In the past two years, Feng Qingyang has a deep understanding of this apprentice's bad surname. "It seems that the rivers and lakes are in trouble. Feng Qingyang said silently.

"Broken Er, your current Dugu Nine Swords have entered a bottleneck, if you want to break through, in addition to qualifications, the most important thing is actual combat, and your qualifications are high enough. Saying this, Feng Qingyang stopped, and looked at Dugu Duan with strange eyes, although he had been used to it in the past two years. But the qualifications of this apprentice are not once in a hundred years, but they have never been seen at all. After two years of practicing Dugu Jiujian to the point of approaching Dacheng, even in front of his eyes, he couldn't believe it.

"The most important thing in actual combat is not qualifications, but experience, and you must remember not to be negligent, no matter how weak the enemy is, you must take it seriously. The wind cleared and said very solemnly. I am afraid that Dugu will enter the rivers and lakes for the first time, and he will have a peerless martial arts, and his surname is undecided, and he will be victimized. But he doesn't want his good apprentice not to harm others, it's already good.

"Yes, Master!" Dugu said respectfully. Xin said: "Master, I will never let go of an enemy, don't you dare to tell you, who let me always be a hero, how good it is to be a demon." ”

"Since you're going down the mountain, I'll tell you about the division of the realm of rivers and lakes first. Feng Qingyang smiled.

Dugu quickly sat down, listened carefully, and increased his few knowledge of the rivers and lakes.

"The masters of the rivers and lakes are divided into six realms, which are third-rate, second-rate, first-class, super-first-class, and acquired and congenital. Feng Qingyang's face was complicated. When it came to innateness, he paused even more.

"Master, what realm am I in now?" Dugu Duan saw Master's depressed expression and knew that he must not have broken through the innate nature. "Don't worry, Master, I'll just grab the Yijin Sutra for you. Dugu said to himself.

"You are now in the realm of second-rate internal strength, and light power is also second-rate. Feng Qingyang sighed after speaking, his apprentice qualifications were really good, but it was a pity that he really didn't have anything to show except for swordsmanship, and then said: "And swordsmanship?" After speaking, he stopped and saw Dugu who was listening carefully, and said with a smile: "First-class peak!"

Dugu Duan heard the master say that he was second-rate in internal strength and light skill, he didn't care at all, and even a little proud, after all, he practiced the most rubbish internal strength and light skill, and it was already very good to be second-rate, and he had mainly been practicing swordsmanship in the past two years, and he was most concerned about swordsmanship. I heard the master say that it was first-class, which was similar to what I guessed, but how could there be a peak. Thinking of this, Dugu asked "Master, since it is first-class, why do you want to add the peak later?"

"You see the head of the teacher, I forgot to tell you, behind each realm there are four levels, which are the early stage, the middle stage, the late stage and the peak. The top means you're one step away from breaking through to the next level. Feng Qingyang smiled.

"So that's the case, it seems that I will soon be able to break through to the super-first-class. Dugu broke his heart and said.

"Master, what should my overall strength be?" Dugu asked.

"It should be a first-class late stage, but when your swordsmanship breaks through the super-first-class, your comprehensive strength will be the peak of the first-class, and when the time comes, your light and internal skills will break through to the first-class, and your comprehensive strength will be super-first-class." Feng Qingyang praised. This son has only been studying martial arts for two years and is about to enter the super-first-class realm, you must know that there are few super-first-class realms in the rivers and lakes, and all of them are overlords, and the youngest is also middle-aged.

"Master, then tell me about the realm of other people in the rivers and lakes. Dugu pleaded. But I thought in my heart: "In the future, I will practice star absorption** and slaughter the Songshan faction, and I will definitely be the enemy of all the righteous ways in the martial arts. ”

"In this way, there are almost no masters in the rivers and lakes now, and the older generation is either dead or in seclusion. The wind cleared and said stiffly. He has lived in seclusion in Huashan for decades, how do he know the current realm of Jianghu people. At this time, Dugu Duan also thought of this, and asked again: "Master, what is the realm of the head of the Wuyue Sword Sect?"

Hearing the apprentice ask like this, a strange color flashed in Feng Qingyang's eyes, but seeing that Dugu's face was normal, it seemed that he was really just curious. I had to say: "I don't know about the other heads, but that Huashan head is only a first-class peak, and it has really been refined for decades." Feng Qingyang's expression was very contemptuous, and he did not miss any opportunity to hit Yue Buqun.

"I see, Lao Yue, you don't give it any strength, even if you are in the palace, it is nothing more than a super-first-class, master, I have been practicing for two years to be super-first-class, you might as well give me my daughter, how good it will be for me to cover you in the future." Dugu broke his heart and said.

"Broken child, there is nothing to teach you as a teacher, I just hope that you will be an upright person, and the teacher also knows that you will inevitably kill Zuo Lengchan in the future, but the teacher hopes that you will not kill innocents indiscriminately. Feng Qingyang's expression was very solemn.

"Yes, Master!"

Dugu Duan's face was respectful, and he said silently in his heart: "I'm sorry, Master!"

Feng Qingyang saw Dugu agree to come down, sighed slightly in his heart, and didn't know if the apprentice really agreed, thinking that maybe he wouldn't be able to beat him in a few years, so if he is right, it must be the blessing of the rivers and lakes, if it is evil, then it will be ......

After two years of getting along, Feng Qingyang also knew that this apprentice, although he was a little lawless in his heart, his surname was still good. Thinking of this Feng Qingyang relaxed, he smiled again: "Broken Er, this time you go down the mountain and enter the rivers and lakes, you will definitely fight with others, you don't have to worry about martial arts, although you are now a first-class realm, but looking at the rivers and lakes can beat you, there are really few people, Dugu Jiujian, anticipating the enemy's opportunity, defeating the strong with the weak." As long as it's not an old monster the day after tomorrow, even if you can't beat it, you can get out of the way. You need to be careful, some of the intrigues and tricks of the rivers and lakes, the most powerful tricks in the world, are not in martial arts, but in conspiracies and traps. If you fall into the trap skillfully arranged by others, with how clever your martial arts skills are, it will not be necessary at all......" He raised his head as he spoke, his eyes blank, obviously remembering countless old things.

"Don't worry, Master, you don't know how smart your apprentice is. Dugu Duan saw that Feng Qingyang looked lonely, and quickly laughed.

"You stupid boy!"

Feng Qingyang also smiled when he saw Duguduan's funny expression.

"You don't have to worry about anything when you walk the rivers and lakes this time. The big husband acts, he does what he likes, he does whatever he wants, whatever martial arts rules and sectarian dogmas he wants, all of them are fucking stinky farts!" Feng Qingyang scolded with a smile. It seems to have opened up.

"Follow Master's teachings!"

Dugu Duan grinned, is this the Sword Master!

"Duan'er, if you go down the mountain this time if it's not necessary, don't say it's my disciple. ”

Feng Qingyang thought about it and looked quite serious.

"Yes, Master. Dugu said respectfully. This was expected by him, but then he said: "Master, what if someone recognizes Dugu Jiujian and asks the apprentice's teacher?"

"Then you can make it clear that there are not many people in this Jianghu who can recognize Dugu Jiujian. Feng Qingyang said disdainfully.

Dugu returned to the thatched hut at night, although there was nothing in the house except for a bed, but he was still very reluctant, after all, this is his own home, as the saying goes, the gold house and the silver house are not as good as their own kennels.

Dugu Duan looked at a few long swords in the corner, hesitating to take down the mountain, in the past two years, he and his master went to the secret cave of the cliff again, and by the way, he took back a few long swords, the wind is clear and lives in seclusion here, he has no long things, and he can't always use branches, after all, he has not reached the realm of wooden swords. It's a pity that these long swords can be used together when practicing, but when you go down the mountain to fight with people, if the weapon doesn't match your hand, you will be in the groove, forget it, or don't take it. These are all standard swords of the Wuyue Sword Sect, and it is not good to be misunderstood.

The main reason for going to the secret cave is to learn the swordsmanship of the Wuyue Sword School there, although at that time I wanted to learn the Dugu Nine Swords, and I was disdainful of the swordsmanship in the secret cave, but as the practice of Dugu Nine Swords became deeper and deeper, Dugu understood that Dugu Nine Swords broke the world's martial arts, which also included some martial arts of various sects, and I learned the swordsmanship in the secret cave by myself, which can be regarded as a plan for the future, and the Wuyue Sword Sect will be the enemy in the future, when the time comes, hum......
