Chapter 40: Bamboo Leaf Flying Knife

When the brothers Wu Dunru and Wu Xiuwen heard that the one-armed old man was going to give them a chance, although they were very excited, they did not immediately say anything, but looked at the one-armed old man relatively calmly, waiting for him to explain the matter further.

Sure enough, the one-armed old man did not pause, and seemed to continue to fall into his memories, only to listen to him slowly narrate: "I think I was in my twenties back then, but I didn't expect that my family would encounter an accident, and I was the only one who survived. At that time, I had a sudden change, and I couldn't stand the blow for a while, and I was in a state of confusion, and I just thought that I could be reunited with my family when I died. ”

Listening to the slow and almost emotionless description of the one-armed old man's low and hoarse voice, it made the brothers feel very sad, and their grief was greater than their death, maybe he was in such a state at that time!

It was thanks to an elder of the beggar gang who had been helped by my father who rushed to pick me up when he heard the news, arranged me in the beggar gang, and took care of me, comforted me, and encouraged me, so that I slowly recovered, and I finally stopped being depressed, and vowed to kill the dog official who killed my whole family. Finally, I started from scratch and practiced martial arts for many years, and after ten years, I killed all my enemies. ”

In his narration, the martial brothers went from calm at the beginning, to anger later, and now finally heard a trace of relief and relief. It is conceivable that a person who does not know martial arts at all has only started practicing martial arts since he was in his twenties, and he has been able to take revenge for ten years after ten years of hard training.

>> Yes, I encountered an accident when I finally assassinated the mastermind, it was a vicious battle! The number of masters under his command is beyond my imagination, a vicious fight I thought I would die in Huangquan, but I didn't expect that there was a master hidden on the side to assassinate that person, he appeared in advance to save me, when he stood on a high place and waved his hands, a silver light flashed like thunder, and many minions fell in response. But the premature exposure put him in a siege, and although the two of us worked together to kill the enemy, he was mortally wounded, and we finally escaped from the chaos and hid in the mountains. He already knew that his injuries were incurable, but he was not sad, and every day he sat on a stone and picked a bamboo leaf, just like you, he could blow the most beautiful and cheerful tunes casually, as if nothing could disturb his optimistic and cheerful nature. ”

The one-armed old man's expression was also relaxed, as if he really felt the optimism and relaxation of his friend. He told me that he was also ruined because of that dog official, but he was rescued by a stranger and adopted as a disciple. He followed his master to hide in a bamboo forest, and he learned a stunt, which was the secret weapon he used that day - the bamboo leaf flying knife. He had no regrets about being seriously injured and dying, but he couldn't let the stunt taught by his master break the inheritance, so he passed on the "Bamboo Leaf Flying Knife" to me, let me practice, and find a suitable successor for it in the future. But I failed my friend's request. I'm stupid and old, and despite my efforts, it's hard to master this skill to a high level. I have been picking and choosing but always can't find a suitable successor, a few years ago I was seriously injured and lost all my martial arts, and people are basically abolished, so I can only live in seclusion here, and it is even more difficult to find the right person to teach the skills. ”

The one-armed old man's tone was melancholy, as if he was very guilty, but he was shocked as he spoke: "God opened my eyes for me to meet you today, and I saw how similar you looked when you played the bamboo leaves to my friend. Later, I saw your game again, and I couldn't help but make a temptation, but I didn't expect to be surprised, you showed the wit in a game, and the technique, accuracy, and feeling of hitting the stone as a child...... It's simply an excellent candidate to inherit "Bamboo Leaf Flying Knife"! What's even more rare is that you are the disciples of the Huang Gang Leader and Guo Daxia, and you naturally don't have anything to say about your character and talent. You are the ones sent by Heaven to help me fulfill my wishes. ”

The more the one-armed old man spoke, the more excited he became: "Actually, this time is not so much your chance, but mine." After fulfilling this wish, I will have no regrets in this life, and when I die in the future, I can go to see my friend with peace of mind. So now I want to teach this stunt "Bamboo Leaf Flying Knife" to you two brothers, are you willing?"

"Thank you seniors for your kindness!Our brothers are naturally very willing!" Wu Dunru and Wu Xiuwen gave a deep salute, "I will never live up to the trust of my predecessors, and I will definitely make "Bamboo Leaf Flying Knife" famous!"

>> You don't need to worship me. The one-armed old man raised his hand weakly and looked into the distance, "I later buried my friend's in the depths of this bamboo forest, not far from here, about a quarter of an hour away, if you have the heart, you can go with me to kowtow a few heads in front of his grave." ”

>> It should be!" Wu Dunru said. So the one-armed old man led the warrior brothers to the depths of the bamboo forest, and finally came to a simple tomb, on the head of which was a tombstone without words, the grave was very clean, and it was obvious that the one-armed old man often came here. Wu Dunru and Wu Xiuwen didn't say much, and respectfully kowtowed three times in front of the grave.

& Friend, today I have finally found you a suitable successor, they are smart, talented, and more coincidentally, they can also blow beautiful tunes with bamboo leaves just like you. You must be satisfied!" the one-armed old man chattered in front of the grave. It's hard to imagine that the taciturn old man before would have such a side. It seems that the one-armed old man and the senior have really formed a deep friendship in a short period of time.

>> Dig down from behind the tombstone, there is a bamboo tube buried underneath, take it out!" The one-armed old man cleaned up his feelings and instructed the martial brothers to take out a bamboo tube from behind the tombstone, the bamboo tube was sealed with wax on both sides, and after opening the bamboo tube, it was carefully wrapped with oiled paper used to prevent moisture. Maybe it's because the one-armed old man was afraid that he couldn't protect this secret book after losing his martial arts, so he hid it here! Or maybe the one-armed old man let the secret stick with his old friend before finding the heir!

Wu Dunru respectfully held the secret note in both hands and sent it to the one-armed old man, and the one-armed old man stroked the secret note a few times with a complicated expression: "You put the secret note away! Remember that except for your two brothers and your future disciples, you are not allowed to teach the secret to outsiders, even your parents and teachers cannot know it." ”

& Generation, since we want to practice the stunt of this bamboo leaf flying knife, we must always report it to the master, and I am afraid that it is inappropriate to conceal them......" Wu Dunru said.

The one-armed old man looked at the martial brothers' somewhat embarrassed expressions, thought for a while, and said, "I will go to your parents and teachers to tell you, Guo Daxia's own kung fu is the strength of the family, and I don't think they will object." But the secret must never be practiced by others. ”

> Naturally, they understand. Wu Dunru and Wu Xiuwen replied at the same time.

& From the beginning of the afternoon, I will avoid everyone and start to teach you the bamboo leaf flying knife stunt, but unfortunately I am basically self-taught, and I have not practiced to a very advanced level, all I can teach you is some years of experience, and the rest can only be explored and pondered by yourself. ”

Without further ado, the three of them returned to their lodgings. By the afternoon, the one-armed old man had already told Wu Sanniang about the matter, and Wu Sanniang was too happy to object. When the three of them came to a quiet place, the one-armed old man lifted the hem of his clothes, revealing the scabbard wrapped around his waist.

Wu Dunru and Wu Xiuwen watched intently, only to see that this bamboo leaf flying knife was about two inches long, the knife body was sharp and plump, the tip of the knife was sharp like a needle, the form was completely similar to the bamboo leaf, there were sharp blades on both sides, and the middle of the knife body was bulging like a bamboo leaf vein. This knife is much smaller than the willow leaf flying knife commonly found on the rivers and lakes, so it is more difficult to operate. Every thirty-six knives are sheathed, the scabbards are made of fine shark skin, unevenly divided into two rows, eighteen in each row, the tip of the knife is downward, and the hollow handle is exposed outside the sheath for easy access. Because the blade is small and the scabbard is not large, it can be wrapped directly around the waist or hidden in the belt, making it even more difficult to guard against.
