Chapter 548 Xu Fengnian collected swords in the East China Sea, and the New Emperor of Wu collected three disciples
The carriage slowly approached the East China Sea.
The tide is getting heavier.
In addition to the relics and sword box, there would be so many items that Xu Fengnian wanted to take away from Wudi City that would surprise the whole world.
Xu Fengnian accepted a poor and humble young man as his apprentice.
Before you could see the East China Sea but before entering Wudi City, you met a small group of horses that were roaming across borders, saving the orphans and widows. Among them, there was a young man who was not involved. He stood up without knowing that he was so arrogant that he almost killed the horse thief. After saving people, Xu Fengnian continued to sail towards Wudi City. The young man was ripe and ghosts and spirits. Somehow he targeted Xu Fengnian. He probably thought that this was a hero who was walking in the world. He followed the carriage like a cowhide for a few days. While running, he couldn’t bear to polish his boots, so he simply took off his boots and tied them to his belt. The boy’s foot strength is pretty good, and Xu Fengnian’s carriage is not in a hurry to rush, and he will stop and stop. Even if he is short and far away, he can always catch up with the boy. Xu Fengnian lit a bonfire by the beach all night, and the exhausted boy did not dare to approach and curled up in the distance to fall asleep. The boy woke up the next morning and found himself lying in the carriage. He carefully lifted the curtain and sat cross-legged against the wall of the car. For a moment, he didn’t know what to call the young master, and hesitated whether to call him a hero or a gentleman. The young man took the initiative to speak. After asking two questions, the young man shook his head desperately. The third question made the young monk confused. He asked himself if he wanted to be his apprentice. The boy didn’t nod, but just blushed and said he couldn’t afford the gift of apprenticeship, but the man said it was nothing. The two men who became masters and apprentices inexplicably along the way didn’t say much. The young man was named Wang Sheng, who was born and born on the beach. His parents died of fishing in the sea and depended on each other for life. After the old man died of illness, the young man left his hometown. He had the strength far beyond his peers since he was a child. Apart from begging, he cried and carried private salt, he had done almost any job that could make money, but he did not starve to death.
The young Wang Sheng just didn’t know what cunning was. When he learned that this “cheap” master who seemed to fall from the sky was going to Wudi City, he was extremely excited and couldn’t control his tongue and chirped. A young man is simple by nature and has a innocent heart. He cannot compare to the old world when he recognizes people in depth, but he must be accurate when he recognizes people’s good or bad. After spending a few days with his master, he knew that his master should be a very easy-to-talk person and respect him far more than fear. However, it made the boy feel a little regretful. This young master, who seems to be more beautiful than a woman, doesn’t like chatting much. Most of the time, he talks to himself and asks and answers. After taking out all the anecdotes and interesting stories in his belly, he can only say some old sayings that he heard from his elders and neighbors. Fortunately, the master who had lost his purity did not bother him and taught him a set of obscure mantras and soft boxing techniques. The mantra is to not remember it well, which makes him a headache, and the boxing method is a soft and powerless attitude. However, if a young man is content and always happy, he will be satisfied if he can truly practice martial arts. I left my hometown the year before yesterday.In a stall in Jianzhou, I saw an old man selling secrets. He handed over all the three taels of silver he had saved so hard that he could speak. He opened the bamboo basket and let him choose. He was illiterate, but after hearing the old seniors’ titles, they all looked like peerless martial arts. It gave people the feeling that even if he practiced one move or two tricks in the book, he could become famous in the world. Wang Sheng finally chose this sword score. The fledgling boy was not familiar with the worldly feelings, but he was not a fool after all. He soon knew that the secret book was fake, but he was not annoyed. The nonsense sword book was always hidden in his arms, just as he knew about a hundred words.
Only one day away from the Wudi City, the sea breeze whirls and tides, easily dispelling the heat of early summer. The young Wang Sheng grew up by the sea. He didn’t feel the sea breeze was slightly fishy, but he just felt familiar and smooth. He probably had been away from his hometown for a few years and remembered his no longer living relatives, Wang Sheng became silent.
The reason why Xu Fengnian did not talk to this apprentice was not that he regretted accepting the first disciple in his life, and that he was mediocre in his qualifications, but because he felt a little amused and crying. After contacting her, she realized that this sturdy boy was actually a daughter. It was strange that her qi and meridians were not like the trajectory of a woman. Women practice martial arts with more bumpy bottlenecks than men. In Buddhism, women cannot become Buddhas, and there are very few real women in Taoism, all of which have particularities and reasons. For a hundred years, there has been only one female sword immortal. After pushing it up for another three hundred years, there is only one. If there is no sword, there will be only one woman who has become a first-class master. The Fengdu Green Robe, one of the four great masters at that time, is now a little heavier than before, including Luoyang and Xuanyuan Qingfeng, and Lin Ya, the apprentice of Wang Xianzhi whom she had never met. The reason for women and men is similar to the fact that the southerners and northerners have more blessings and fortunes. The qualifications of his apprentice Wang Sheng are actually quite good. However, before and after Xu Fengnian practiced martial arts, he saw many glory at the top of the world. His qualifications are outstanding. Often, when he is young, he may not be good. When practicing martial arts, his potential is crucial, he has enough momentum and many opportunities. Both are indispensable, so he can achieve great things late.
The reason why Xu Fengnian accepted him as his apprentice is ultimately very simple.
Wang Sheng carried a wooden sword around his waist.
The first question at the beginning, Xu Fengnian asked Wang Sheng if he would exchange wooden sword for food. Wang Sheng refused. Xu Fengnian asked again whether he would exchange the wooden sword for silver, but Wang Sheng still refused.
Late at night, only thirty or forty miles away from Wudi City, Xu Fengnian did not continue to move forward, and also ordered Wang Sheng to pick up dead branches and ignite a large bonfire by the sea. The raging flames reflected the two faces of the master and disciple. Xu Fengnian gave Wang Sheng the half-sized piece of dried beef the size of his palm. The night sky was bright and the stars were dotted. Wang Sheng lowered his head and chewed the beef. When he looked up, he saw his master looking at the starry sky in a daze. She quietly licked her oily fingers, then pointed to the starry sky, and smiled and said, “Grandpa said that there is a big lantern. On the ground, if the light goes out, it will light up in the sky.”
Xu Fengnian said calmly, “There is also the saying in my hometown.”
>
Wang Sheng waited for a long time, and saw that his master was silent again, he talked to himself, “Master, besides you, I admire the leader of the martial arts world in Huishan.”
Wang Sheng smiled and asked, “Master, guess who the next one is.”
Xu Fengnian shook his head.
Wang Sheng said hehe, “He is the master of boxing in Wudicheng, Lin Ya!”
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, “She is the best disciple of Wang Xianzhi, the world’s number one person, and she is also a beautiful woman named Rouge. You are far inferior to her.”
Wang Sheng wanted to dig a hole in the ground and drill down, and asked timidly, “Master, you know.”
Xu Fengnian nodded.
Seeing that his master did not look angry, Wang Sheng lowered his head and said, “My father and mother always wanted to have a younger brother, but they didn’t succeed. Later, they didn’t want to raise me as a boy. Moreover, the family can’t afford to save a dowry, and I don’t want to get married. Besides, who is willing to live with a woman who looks like a man, it’s quite a bit boring to think about it. Whoever married me must be the thief who did too many bad things in his previous life. God will punish him for marrying a man in this life.”
Speaking of this, Wang Sheng, who is happy in heaven, made himself amuse himself.
Xu Fengnian tear off a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, and said softly, “When you look at your eyebrows and eyes, you will always look like a woman.”
Wang Sheng suddenly couldn’t help but say, “If I look half as good as my master, I can live for half a lifetime.”
Xu Fengnian said calmly, “Go and punch for an hour.”
Wang Sheng, who knew that he said the wrong thing, took off the wooden sword from his waist, went to the beach to practice boxing with a bitter face, and honestly tried six times, with loopholes in it, and often forgotten the routine. However, from the corner of her eyes, she saw that the master was not too concerned about his stupidity and did not show any strange expression.
Wang Sheng practiced the fist for half an hour before he sat down opposite his master, picked up the wooden sword and placed it horizontally on his knees.
Xu Fengnian asked, “You don’t think you are embarrassed when you walk on the world with a wooden sword.”
Wang Sheng was a little puzzled and asked, “What’s the shame?”
Xu Fengnian didn’t say anything.
Wang Sheng laughed happily, “It was the wooden sword made by grandpa for me. Even if the master wanted it, I wouldn’t give it.”
Xu Fengnian, who has never called himself “a master”, said angrily, “I would rather a broken wooden sword.”
Wang Sheng smiled.
Xu Fengnian joked: “Whoever looks at you when you are blind in the future, you might as well use this wooden sword as a token of love, even if it is your dowry.”
Wang Sheng did not speak with a bitter face.
Xu Fengnian said, “You think the wooden sword is precious now. That’s because you have never seen a real good sword. I want to go to Wudi City to get some things. I can give you one at that time, but you can onlyLeave a sword behind, and you decide how to choose. The ugly thing is ahead. I will not be able to travel around the world with a poor disciple with only wooden swords. I can’t lose this face, let alone I can’t practice any excellent sword skills with wooden swords. Wang Sheng, do you want this broken wood sword, banging and bruising in the world alone, and you will never be famous for your whole life, or you should accept a famous sword in the world that everyone may covet. Learn advanced martial arts from me, and do not rush to answer me in martial arts for a long time, and tell me what you think tomorrow morning. “
After Xu Fengnian finished speaking, he walked back to the carriage to rest, leaving behind an apprentice who was struck by lightning.
The next day, the fog was heavy at dawn.
The majestic Wudi City in the distance fell into the clouds and mist, and appeared or appeared, like a dangerous sea.
Xu Fengnian walked to the beach and saw Wang Sheng closing his eyes and pointing to the sea with a wooden sword. Perhaps he had been lifting his arms and lifting his sword for a long time, and there was a drop of mist on the tip of the sword.
Before this, Wang Sheng was determined to practice swords, but Xu Fengnian didn’t pay much attention, but just taught her this ordinary sword-raising gesture.
She practiced as a peerless martial art, working tirelessly.
Others would look funny, not funny.
Wang Sheng finally realized that his master appeared beside him, and did not put away the wooden sword. He turned to look at the expressionless master. Suddenly, tears rolled out of his eyes and choked and said, “Master.” “
A child, when he encounters a threshold that cannot be overcome, always naturally thinks about pleading with his elders.
Xu Fengnian said coldly: “Let go of the sword. “
Wang Sheng’s face was desolate, “Master, I really want to practice swords, and I want to use wooden swords to achieve great success. Because my grandfather said that someone in the world has made a name for himself with wooden swords. I will definitely practice martial arts with my master in the future…”
Xu Fengnian sneered: “There is no good thing in the world that is the best of both worlds. You can’t even throw away a broken wood sword. How can you pick up those good things that everyone desires for? The reputation of the world, the ranking of martial arts, the establishment of a sect, which one is not as precious as your wooden sword. Countless wooden swords are the relics of your grandfather, so how about there being many newcomers in the world who are willing to lose their money for a secret book and a martial arts. Even parents can refuse to recognize them, even the master dares to kill, and even the wife can offer them with both hands. You are so rigid and do not know how to turn around, and you still want to practice swordsmanship! “
After speaking, Wang Sheng had clearly felt the master’s stern expression. Although he had been with his master for a long time, he also knew that his master had always been a gentle and respectful person who could make her feel close to her.
For some reason, she also knew that she had missed this master in her life and would never have to think about the sword world again.
