Chapter 8 Master and Apprentice

Mu Xunfeng not only taught Ma Xie martial arts, but also taught Ma Xie to learn martial arts all the time, the original intention was to hoe the strong and help the weak, Ma Xie seemed to understand it, and many places were very different from what he thought in the mountains and forests before. But Mu Xunfeng has a special temperament, which makes Ma Xie have to believe that what Mu Xunfeng said is right.

In addition, Mu Xunfeng also taught all the knowledge on this continent, and Ma Xie gradually understood the whole picture of this world, but the more he listened to the city lord and Mu Xunfeng talk about the excitement of this world, the more uncomfortable Ma Xie became, and he realized that his martial arts were so low, just like this stone city was not worth mentioning in the entire continent.

This world is a complete but irregular continent, and no one can say exactly how big it is since ancient times, only that mortals cannot travel everywhere in this continent if they are extremely poor in their lives.

There are dozens of large and small countries on the mainland, these countries are sometimes divided, sometimes combined, counting those dynasties that have been buried by history, there are thousands of them, and now the remaining more than 70 countries will also be annexed by the countries next to them at any time, or form new countries, rise, prosperity, decline, and destruction are almost the fate of all kingdoms. Today, there are five kingdoms, known as the five dynasties: Qin in the westernmost part of the continent, Song in the middle, Jin in the northwest, Chu in the south, and Qi in the east. Between these five powers were many other countries and independent city-states, and some of these small powers were vassals of the great powers.

Other countries and city-states are attached to some huge sects, some of these sects have a long heritage, far more than a country, they are a form of organization completely different from the state, they are the largest force on the continent, and most importantly, these sects are almost all the holy places of dragon slayers, and most of the great dragon slayers are from some long-standing sects.

And what is older than the inheritance of the sect is some ancient families. The legends about these families are often related to the "true dragon" or the origin of this world, but these ancient families are secretive and low-key, and they seem to be not far from any power in the world, but according to the stone city lord: "These families are often hidden behind the sect or the country, and they are the masters of these big forces." ”

These legends are both true and illusory, making Ma Xie extremely fascinated, if one day his name can resound throughout this continent, if one day he can establish his own country or sect, if one day he can establish an ancient family in his name, all of these things are so dizzying to Ma Xie.

And what Mu Xunfeng told Ma Xie brought Ma Xie back to some reality a little.

Mu Xunfeng and Ma Xie also had a discussion, as Ma Xie expected, that Mu Xunfeng's swordsmanship is really amazing, his moves are ordinary, but he can always make moves at the most appropriate time, in front of Mu Xunfeng, Ma Xie is like a child who has just learned to walk.

"Mr. Mu, are you a legendary dragon slayer?" Ma Xie asked.

"Where am I a dragon slayer, I'm just a master in the mundane, and I'm far from the realm of a dragon slayer. ”

Mu Xunfeng was also shocked by Ma Xie's swordsmanship. This young man's swordsmanship is extremely inconsistent with his experience, he is old and ruthless, and the most important thing is that Ma Xie's swordsmanship seems to be able to learn Mu Xunfeng's swordsmanship in the past, every time he compares swordsmanship with Ma Xie, Mu Xunfeng can always find the shadow of the swordsmanship he used a few days ago in Ma Xie's swordsmanship. This is not as simple as "learning tricks", this is Ma Xie skillfully integrating Mu Xunfeng's swordsmanship into his own swordsmanship. This is not just relying on Ma Xie's comprehension and "talent" can be completed, after several temptations, Mu Xunfeng finally concluded that what Ma Xie practiced is a very advanced swordsmanship, this swordsmanship seems to be very ordinary, but until the essence of swordsmanship, you can integrate all the moves and paths you have learned into it for your own use.

Mu Xunfeng told Ma Xie about his guess, and Ma Xie was surprised that Mu Xunfeng guessed so correctly. At first, Ma Xie was also very strange why other people's swordsmanship routines were so fixed, and his own swordsmanship didn't seem to have any fixed routines, they were all some basic stabbing and striking skills and some simple routines taught to him by the white ape. In the discussion with Mu Xunfeng, Ma Xie suddenly remembered that the white ape had said that the essence of this set of swordsmanship is endless, as long as you can continue to learn new moves and martial arts, you can turn it into the moves in this set of swordsmanship, and sometimes the power can be even better!

Therefore, after fighting with Mu Xunfeng a few times, Ma Xie tried to imitate Mu Xunfeng's swordsmanship moves, and then combined it with his own set of swordsmanship, and sure enough, his sword skills soared, and the progress exceeded Ma Xie's imagination.

Mu Xunfeng couldn't help but sigh that there was such a magical swordsmanship in the world, and he didn't know which of the swordsmanship was stronger or weaker than the swordsmanship of the Zhou family in the Holy Land of the Sword Gate, which was known as "breaking all the swordsmanship in the world".

In order to express his gratitude, Ma Xie wanted to teach this set of swordsmanship to Mu Xunfeng, but Mu Xunfeng politely refused. It's not that Mu Xunfeng doesn't want to learn, but when he heard Ma Xie mention the entrance to this swordsmanship, he knew that this swordsmanship was broad and profound, and if he wanted to learn this kind of swordsmanship, he had to give up what he had learned before and integrate his life's hard work into it in order to achieve something.

And Ma Xie has been learning this set of swordsmanship since he was six years old, and he has no distractions day after day of hard practice and the guidance of famous experts, coupled with a rare sincere heart for swordsmanship in the world, so he has today's achievements, and Mu Xunfeng asked himself that he has no sincerity for swordsmanship in his heart, and has lost his ideals and pursuit of swordsmanship, so he can't learn this set of swordsmanship.

"Ma Xie, are you willing to worship me as a teacher?" Mu Xunfeng blurted out somehow.

Ma Xie didn't think about it and returned: "In my heart, you have long been my master. ”

Mu Xunfeng's heart throbbed, he was also ambitious, but now he lives in seclusion, only because he suffered a great change in his early years. He should have retired early, boated the rivers and lakes, and spent the rest of his life, but because he didn't want his teacher to be cut off and let down his master's painstaking efforts, he traveled between various countries to find a suitable apprentice.

The two children brought by Lu Lin were originally orphans of his friend, and he originally wanted to take one of these two children as an apprentice. Although these two children have mediocre talents, they can not let their teachers lose their Taoism. But now that he saw Ma Xie, he was attracted by Ma Xie's talent and Dao heart, and he secretly felt that Ma Xie was the inheritor of the Taoism he had learned, and his own destiny was to become the guide of Ma Xie, guiding Ma Xie into the realm he had never set foot in, and towards a height that he would never touch.

The Lord of Shicheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and he wanted to personally preside over the apprenticeship ceremony for Mu Xunfeng. Mu Xunfeng finally decided to accept Ma Xie and the two sons of the old man as apprentices, and he also settled a matter of the old man's heart.

But when Mu Xunfeng told the two children the news, the little girl named Nanfeng shook her head firmly: "I don't want to be a dragon slayer, I don't want to be an executioner." She held her little brother tightly in her arms, his little brother's name was Aman, and he also nodded and said, "I listen to my sister." ”

Mu Xunfeng looked at these two children in shock, he couldn't imagine that there were still children in this martial arts continent who didn't want to learn martial arts, presumably it was the disaster suffered by the old family, which left an indelible shadow in the hearts of these two children.

Mu Xunfeng didn't force it, but Ma Xie pestered Nanfeng all day long, telling her all kinds of fun about swordsmanship. Nanfeng was very resolute and said to Ma Xie: "Mortals can also live a wonderful life, and it is very meaningful to live a life without fighting or killing people!"

"But without dragon slaying, what should you do when you encounter those strange beasts? Have you ever heard of that kind of cow with a lion's head? Do you think mortals can resist it?"

Nanfeng sighed and said, "Ma Xie, I know that you are afraid that I will not be bullied by others if I don't know martial arts. I hate that kind of thing, and I believe that there is always a place in this world where there are no strange beasts, no martial arts, no dragon slayers. The so-called 'mortals' just live simply, with food to eat and flowers to bloom, isn't it?"

"Have food to eat, flowers to bloom?" Ma Xie touched his head when he heard this inexplicable sentence, and said, "We have food to eat every day!"

Nanfeng glanced at Ma Xie helplessly, and said to him: "That's because your eldest sister and I serve your two ancestors every day!"
