Chapter 7 Apprenticeship (Part 2)

Zhuji Wuci looked at Zhao Qing's calm expression, a smile flashed across his face for a moment, and he said slightly apologetically: "Apprentice, you don't really think that I am such a strict person for my juniors, do you? This matter The weapons are given to you."

He didn't make any movement, but the moment he finished speaking, a sheathed bronze dagger shuttled across the distance of twenty or thirty feet from Zhao's house to the stream. It didn't make any sound or waves, it was just quiet. Hovering in front of Zhao Qing.

Zhao Qing recognized that this was the same sword that Zhu Ji Wu Ci used to gouge out gold particles from the gold cake.

She reached out to take it, and slowly pulled the sword out of its sheath. She saw a cold blue light shooting out, flickering on the surface of the sword. When her fingers came close to the sword, she felt a faint sharp and tingling feeling. It seemed that it was from before. When I saw him, I was shielded by the master.

When receiving spiritual information before, Zhao Qing also became proficient in Yue characters, so she recognized the inscription above: "Yue Wang Yunchang made it himself, Hao Cao Zijian is the fifth."

Suddenly, she remembered the sword that she had seen Shen Shendao find from the ancient tomb. It seemed that that sword was one of the "gods" behind him. She didn't know what level of god it was. Thinking about it, it shouldn't be a sword.

The so-called sub-swords are recorded in the "Heavenly Weapon Refining and Entraining Method" as the yin-yang creation energy leaked out when the main sword was cast, and thus the subsidiary swords were born together. Their power is much worse than that of the main sword, but most of them He can still be called a magic weapon.

"This is one of the twenty-four swords of the famous Haocao sword. It was given to King Gou Jian when he came to the throne in the past. Although this sword is small, it is considered to be of the highest quality among Haocao's swords. It is enough to be used as your sword in the Sixth Form of the Middle School. Qi' is required for refining Qi beforehand."

Zhu Jiwuci opened his mouth to introduce, and brushed his hand over the edge of the sword to suppress the sharp aura emanating from the sword.

"As for the magic weapon 'Qingxuan' that will be born in a year and a half, I will also help you fight for it, and I am very sure of it. Of course, apprentice, you have to work harder yourself."

"Don't think that my tone of voice is calm and has no ups and downs, and you may think that I am very serious and deep. In fact, this is just because of the need for spiritual practice. I am actually quite happy to communicate with others, and sometimes I will make a joke."

Zhao Qing moved his lips but did not speak. He might as well be more serious when making such a joke.

Zhu Ji Wu Ci did not feel embarrassed. He paused and added:

"For more than ten generations, members of the Zhuji family have held important positions in Dai Viet. They have a long heritage and strong power. The contemporary Grand Sima Zhuji Ying is my uncle; the prince and Yi are my brothers-in-law."

"Zhao Qing, you are the third disciple I have accepted, and you should also be my last disciple. Your treatment will never be bad. Going back to the Xia and Shang Dynasties, there were women who served as politicians and generals. If you can practice Even if his cultivation strength is comparable to that of an army, he may not be able to be named a doctor or a general, and his name will go down in history."

"King Gou Jian is a very capable and ambitious man. Before he completes his revenge on Wu State, even if he sees people from other countries coming to serve, he will not show distrust because of his distance and status. and look down upon.”

"As long as he has the ability and talent, he will 'respect the virtuous officer' and 'appoint appointments based on talent.' I wonder if you have such confidence?"

Zhao Qing blinked his eyes. "Appointment is based on talent" is most likely true, but "corporal courtesy" is better to forget it. Wen Zhong died unjustly. "The cunning rabbit dies and the running dogs are cooked; the birds are gone and the good bow is hidden." She still understands.

It is said that if Gou Jian kills heroes in the future, his master will not be killed. It sounds like the master does not know Gou Jian's nature. But after all, the two of them are in-laws, so there should be no big problem.

Zhu Jiwuci raised his head and glanced at the moonlight in the night sky, then walked toward the Zhao family's courtyard, with Zhao Qing following behind him.

"By the way, I haven't introduced your senior brother and second senior brother yet. Senior brother Jiang Chengyu is a descendant of the original Jiang Kingdom. He has just become the sixth qi. He is currently working as a retainer in the Prince Lu of the Chu Kingdom and secretly helps him.

The king’s daughter, the concubine of the King of Chu, and her son, Prince Zhang of Chu.”

"Second Senior Brother Zhong Wu Boyan is the grandson of the original Zhong Wu Kingdom. He is also a cultivator who has just entered the Sixth Form of the Middle School. Now he is working as an undercover agent in the Yunyang Sect of the Wu Kingdom, collecting information about Wu Kingdom's Jianghu. Over the years, he has become a member of the Yunyang Sect.

The second elder of Youyun Hall, the first of the four inner halls."

"As for your master and me, since I resigned as Junior Situ sixteen years ago, I have concealed my identity in six rural villages on the outskirts of the country to conduct investigation work, eliminate unrest factors in the country, and recommend some talents to the current Junior Situ."

"To make good friends with the Chu State to the south, to make good friends with the Jin State to the west, and to make good friends with the Qi State to the north, this is the foreign policy of our Yue State. On the surface, Yiyong, a pedestrian official, sends envoys to communicate, but secretly our people are involved

.”

What kind of secret espionage organization, the "Jinyiwei" of the Yue Kingdom? Are they engaged in underground work per capita? We are on the wrong pirate ship.

Zhao Qing couldn't help but secretly curse, and the corners of his eyes twitched, so what outrageous things will I be sent by Master to do in the future? But why does it feel a little exciting for no reason?

"As for your apprentice, well, Xiao Zhao Qing, you should wait for five or six more years before considering it. First, find a more stable place to practice martial arts on your own. I have quotas for the Kuaiji No. 1 Martial Arts Academy and the Military Sword Ge Camp.

, which one do you decide?”

"Let's go to the martial arts academy." Carrying the sword he just got and the tableware he had washed a long time ago, Zhao Qing returned to the small courtyard of his home and thought for a while before replying.

By the way, Camp Jiange doesn’t sound like a safe place. It can’t be one of the death squads! And does “practicing martial arts on your own” mean what you imagined?

Seemingly sensing Zhao Qing's thoughts, Zhu Jiwuci cleared his throat and explained:

"Whether it is the land of Wu and Yue or the countries of the Central Plains, most Jianghu sects follow the so-called rule of 'the law is not taught lightly', dividing the skills into three, six or nine grades, and teaching them selectively. There are even some sects that follow the rules.

As the status improves, the disciples constantly change the root method. This is to control the progress of the disciples' practice and ensure the stability of the main lineage status."

"But here, there is no such rule. After everyone gets started, they can get the high-level skills that I have carefully explained. Coupled with the top understanding of you, you don't actually need my special teaching."

This must be an excuse to evade responsibility. Zhao Qing touched his forehead with his hand and felt that the master's tall image had been destroyed by himself before he could even establish it.

"One more thing. You should have understood very early on that your talent in martial arts is top-notch, and that your future cannot be limited to one village or one township. However, the reason why you have not left home to practice martial arts for a long time is because you have to take care of the sick and weak.

Because of my mother.”

Zhu Jiwuci said while packing the luggage that he had left at the door.

Zhao Qing nodded. After becoming a disciple, she was thinking about what she should do. Maybe she should pay some people to take care of her?

"Your mother's internal injuries began with the coagulation of blood clots in her organs, which caused the body to fail. Then she could only lie in bed for a long time, her legs atrophied, and the internal blood vessels and tendons hardened."

"It is estimated that the doctors in the countryside did not fully diagnose it and just taught people to take medicine and rest. But without the medicine from the doctors, your mother would not be able to survive today. Fortunately, although her physical problems are serious, they can actually be cured.

.”

"At the end of the information I instilled in you, I attached a medical scripture, which contains a method to cure your mother. As long as you have reached the state of energy transformation, or have just begun to refine qi, you can start to treat her."

"At that time, you can use the method of energy resonance or internal energy cutting to cleanse your mother's tendons and reshape her lower limb muscles. After that, you can take care of her for half an hour every day for about a month, and she will return to normal.

The situation allows you to no longer have any worries.”

"That's all. Your master has to leave beforehand. I will leave this little money to you."

Zhao Qing, who had just turned his back to clean up the housework, quickly turned his head, but there was no one left.

Apart from a piece of gold cake that shone slightly in the moonlight on the bamboo chair in front of the door, and a bronze dagger hanging on a rope buckle around his waist, there were no other traces.
