"Master is a person who is carefree and indifferent by nature. He is obsessed with landscapes, swordsmanship, and especially wine pots. What he pursues is more experience and enlightenment."
"As for family, love, friendship, master-disciple relationship and other common human feelings, to him, they are like passing clouds."
"It can add some fireworks to this life, add some joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. If you have it, it's fun, but if you don't have it, it's okay."
"So, Master teaches swordsmanship and swordsmanship to each other either out of curiosity or as repayment of a debt of gratitude. How can he ask for trouble and officially accept a disciple?"
"I met Master by chance back then, but it was my fault that I was dismissive of him and dared to have a drinking contest with him. By mistake, I caught the old man's appetite, and that was how I got the chance to teach him."
"At that time, I, a young boy, received all my skills from my master, so naturally I kept calling him master."
"Fortunately, he didn't change my mind and allowed me to shout and call myself my teacher."
"It is a great blessing to be a registered disciple in this life, and I no longer wish for anything else."
Jiang Yichen thought about it for a moment after hearing the words, and realized that the interaction between him and the cheap master was just like this, and he couldn't help but smile.
Long Duoduo was still unfinished and continued: "Three years ago, I was lucky enough to meet Master in Jiangnan. Out of curiosity, I asked Master what he thought of you."
When Jiang Yichen heard this, his heart moved and he looked forward to it.
Long Duoduo didn't give in, and immediately added: "He thought for a long time and only commented on two words, idiot and mediocrity."
Jiang Yichen was neither sad nor surprised that the swordsman master would comment on him in this way.
You can even hear the so-called "thinking for a long time", which is probably Long Duoduo taking care of his emotions.
I'm afraid the master must have spent a lot of effort at that time to remember that there was such an incompetent disciple like him.
"In recent years, when I heard about your actions in the world, I once thought that Master had made a mistake."
"It wasn't until these two days that I observed carefully that I realized that Master is a Master after all, and he really sees people thoroughly."
"You are not stupid in terms of qualifications, but you are actually sensitive in nature. You have too many distracting thoughts and worries, so it is difficult to concentrate."
"Although the path of swordsmanship extends in all directions, if one has an unstable mind and does not rely on fighting to nourish one's realm and nurture one's state, one can rely on external forces to guide one's way. It is difficult to get around dead ends and leap over the dragon's gate. This is mediocre talent."
"If you think and think too much, you will be reluctant to let go. If you don't let go, it will be difficult to let go. How can you gain something if you don't let go?"
"But who can say that it is wrong to stick to the past and not seek more?"
"It is precisely because of your insanity, your reluctance and inability to let go that you are determined and unyielding."
"You think you are mediocre, so you are down to earth, study hard and make progress."
"You are so crazy that you don't realize it, so you have accumulated a lot."
No matter how much he pretended to be calm and sophisticated, he could not extinguish his youthful nature. Jiang Yichen felt very happy and gratified to receive such recognition from his senior brother and bowed his hands to thank him.
Long Duoduo waved his hand and said with a smile: "The authorities are confused, but onlookers know clearly. Senior brother is just borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha."
Jiang Yichen disagreed and said solemnly: "Without senior brother turning on the light, junior brother would probably still be lost in the dark in the future."
Long Duoduo said: "Then Senior Brother Bendang is teaching for our master, right?"
Jiang Yichen said: "Our cheap master may not be able to remember who I am even if we meet him."
Being able to be the leader of one of the three sworn gangs in Kyushu in the past, Long Duoduo is naturally a very thoughtful person. How could he not hear the hidden meaning in his words? He raised the corner of his mouth and said with a hint of joking: "Junior brother, this is the meaning of a drunkard."
It’s not about the wine, it’s about the scenery and the beautiful people.”
After his little trick was seen through, Jiang Yichen rarely felt shy or ashamed. Instead, he looked at Long Duoduo with piercing eyes and asked, "She..."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he uttered a word, he was interrupted by Long Duoduo waving his hand.
It was about Leng Mei, so Jiang Yichen could only hold back his temper and listen to his senior brother's explanation.
"I thought you would put up with it and not ask, but I didn't expect you would have to worry about it before leaving."
"On the day we met, you should have guessed that it was Xiao Leng who was the matchmaker, finding that idiot to help you out of trouble, and arranging for you and me to meet."
"However, if you ask Gongsun Yu to take action, I will have to take the credit."
"This Gongsun family has always been at odds with our Demon Palace back then, especially Gongsun Yu. He always wanted to gain fame and power by defeating me, but senior brother, how could he lose his reputation as a disciple of the Sword Immortal? How could he not be undermined?
I’ll get a bloody head.”
"Later on, he became much more honest and did not dare to provoke me."
"This time, senior brother, I went to ask the owner of the Sanren Residence to do a small favor. It's really fun to see how frustrated he is when he dares to get angry but doesn't dare to fight! Haha!"
Jiang Yichen didn't expect that there would be unexpected gains after listening. No wonder Gongsun Yu's tone became weird at the end of his speech that day. He would always be reluctant to speak to someone who bullies him, right?
"As for Xiao Leng..." Long Duoduo said deliberately, while Jiang Yichen sat upright.
"She wanted to change her life."
"Since she didn't take the initiative to see you, you should understand her intention."
Knowing that Long Duoduo was playing tricks on himself, Jiang Yichen did not dare to ask directly and go into details. He could only silently ponder and speculate on the true meaning of his words.
"Besides, you should also know that I watched Xiao Leng grow up."
Seeing Long Duoduo's smile getting stronger, Jiang Yichen had goosebumps all over his body.
"They say an elder brother is like a father."
"With a junior brother like you, I can't find anything wrong with you as a senior brother."
"And out of the heart of being a brother and a father, I naturally hope that my sister and daughter will live a better life in the future."
"You obviously can't take good care of Xiao Leng at the moment."
"Do you understand?"
The smile on Long Duoduo's face did not diminish, but it was not difficult to feel the progressive power of his words.
Jiang Yichen understood its meaning, nodded and said: "I understand."
Long Duoduo sighed and said: "You understand, but I don't understand. You don't have the skin like me, senior brother, and your temper is just average. How can you attract the love of these girls?"
Jiang Yichen's expression was slightly stiff. He knew that what Long Duoduo said was related to Ruolan, but he didn't know how to say it.
Long Duoduo just sighed a little, as if he had no intention of interfering with the love between these children. He stood up and dusted off his clothes, it was time to see off the guests.
"So, there are only two last things left."
"Um?"
Jiang Yichen also stood up, ready to greet General Black and Long Duoduo to say farewell, but was stunned.
Immediately I thought that my senior brother might have something to ask of me, so I said, "Senior brother, if there is anything you can do to help me, just ask."
Long Duoduo patted him on the shoulder and said: "Junior brother is determined. If the need arises, I will not leave you behind."
"However, these two things are still relevant to you."
"Please give me some advice, senior brother."
"Based on my observation and teaching of you these past two days, I have come to a conclusion. By the time you have reached the Mahayana in your practice of sitting in the formless posture and forgetting your mind, there will not be many people in the world who can directly take your life."
"What does senior brother mean by this?"
"Even if you have three Dzogchen internal skills at your disposal, you still have a fatal weakness. As long as you don't insist on attacking your vital points, but use tricks to defeat you first, it's not difficult."
…
…
The two brothers moved to a relatively open area and faced each other with swords.
Long Duoduo didn't make any unnecessary moves. He held the handle with both hands and swung the Tai'a sword across the sky and slashed it down.
Jiang Yichen was three feet away from him, but the moment Long Duoduo swung his sword, he felt that he was tightly held in place by a force of energy. With a snap of his fingers, he could barely dodge more than half a foot away.
A virtual image of a giant sword that was magnified several times appeared in the sky, and the area it struck down just covered everything he could reach.
The huge sword is like a knife, hanging from the sky, it is called Xuantian Slash!
Jiang Yichen had nowhere to hide and had no choice but to block him head-on.
He could probably tell that Long Duoduo used nearly 30% of his internal energy in just this one slash.
Not daring to be negligent, he directly unleashed more than 40% of his inner breath to block it with his sword.
when!
Although the sword energy strikes each other, the sound still shakes the sky and the energy chaos in the mountains and forests!
Jiang Yichen's mouth was slightly numb and his feet sank to the ground.
At the same time, an inexplicable panic surged into my heart.
It turned out that behind the shadow of Xuantianzhan's giant sword, there were actually five soaring dragons hidden behind it!
Five soaring dragons with long beards and huge mouths soar through the clouds and mist, intimidating people!
Jiang Yichen didn't have the time to admire how lifelike Teng Long was, but he saw that it contained at least six successful powers of Long Duoduo!
In the past two days, Long Duoduo taught himself to always have an excellent sense of proportion with his sword. Now, even if he could take this blow, it would severely damage his vitality.
Jiang Yichen didn't know why, and while he was greatly surprised, he already planned to use all his inner strength to resist and reduce the damage.
But when the inner breath circulates through several key acupuncture points, it encounters many obstacles and it is difficult to use it freely!
It's the Xuantian Slash!
Jiang Yichen was horrified!
Xuantian Zhan used his energy to imitate a sword. The destructive power of the open sword was extraordinary, but he actually hid the sword secretly, embedding invisible air blades in the meridians around his body, like hidden cards.
These invisible air blades will naturally not cause much damage to those with deep internal strength, and are not difficult to resolve.
But at the critical moment when the enemy is facing a challenge, the moment of opportunity to break through and resolve the hidden meridian block is enough for masters to use it to create murderous intent!
The moment the five dragons approached, Jiang Yichen was able to break through the dark blockage on the meridians laid out by Xuantian Zhan, but he was unable to fully mobilize his inner energy for defense.
The five soaring dragons were almost unimpeded and rushed towards the five important acupoints of Zusanli, Weizhong, Lieque, Hegu and Neiguan on Jiang Yichen's limbs!
Only severe damage to the Zusanli point on the five key points on the hands and feet can cause injury and disability. But when the five waves of Tenglong energy were poured into the body, Jiang Yichen was shocked to realize that something was wrong!
boom!
Jiang Yichen's ears were ringing and dizzy for a moment. The roaring sound did not come from the outside world, but inside his head and body.
His hands fell to the ground with a dull thud.
Jiang Yichen was unable to even stand up and fell to his knees, breathing rapidly and trembling.
I was covered in cold sweat, and the new clothes I put on yesterday were instantly soaked in a dark color.
Long Duoduo's five soaring dragon energies are not the killing moves of the Nine Dragon Control Swords, but the purest inner breath.
Invading Jiang Yichen's body without any murderous aura was the same as transmitting power from a distance, and the rejection he received was negligible. It penetrated straight through the five major acupoints, filling the whole body's meridians and Dantian, which was far beyond what Jiang Yichen could bear. limit.
Compared to the torture of sudden swelling and contraction of his internal organs on the terrace, this time, Jiang Yichen only felt as if his soul and body were being forcibly separated.
Severe pain originates from the whole body and converges in the Dantian.
Then it spreads from Dantian to the whole body, and the cycle repeats.
Jiang Yichen didn't dare to close his eyes, for fear that he would lose strength and faint as soon as he closed his eyes.
After about a cup of tea, I finally calmed down and regained some strength to adjust my posture and meditate.
Although he already knew what Long Duoduo was telling him, Jiang Yichen still asked, "Why do you teach me, senior brother?"
"Ordinary people's Dantian will be destroyed if it is destroyed. It is just that they cannot cultivate. If the opportunity is enough, it is possible to cultivate a pseudo Dantian like you and even restore it to the original state."
"But your pseudo-dantian has long been integrated with the organs and meridians. If it is damaged, all will be damaged."
"This cannot be solved with my current knowledge."
"There is only one direction, you have to test it yourself to find a way to crack it."
…
…
When the moon is full, it will be waning, and when the water is full, it will overflow. This is a very simple and obvious truth.
When the power of heaven and earth poured into his body on the Condensation Terrace, Jiang Yichen felt the feeling of exploding and dying. Fortunately, he had enough time and a suitable way to channel the power of heaven and earth that had entered his body.
But what if there is no time for him to guide, and no opportunity for him to spread his energy?
Yao Lao was not familiar with martial arts and didn't know this, but Long Duoduo discovered the problem!
The problem of pseudo-dantian!
Jiang Yichen was now like a man with a prosthetic limb.
If a person with intact limbs loses his hand, it is possible to regenerate it, or to install a prosthetic limb, but the worst result is to lose a hand.
Jiang Yichen's prosthetic limb has already been integrated with the broken arm. If his hand is broken off by external force, he may not be able to save his arm, and may even endanger his life.
The direction given by Long Duoduo is for Jiang Yichen to try to peel off the inherent connections that have been established. Only when he can flexibly aggregate them can he be fearless.
However, it is easier said than done. This is almost only speculation without any method based on theory and practice. How can Jiang Yichen, who has mediocre qualifications, make something out of nothing?
…
…
"The remaining thing is the news provided by Sanrenju."
"Two days ago, that is, in the afternoon of the day you arrived in the valley, Lu Hao from the Nether Sect appeared in several villages and towns near Gongju Town carrying two long bamboos on his back."
"There are two couplets hanging on the long bamboo, which read: The tyrant's ax is no longer as brave as it once was, and the soft red can hardly protect the soul of an orphan girl."
"Zhang Xing, the domineering axe, and Sanniang Shizhang Honglu, these two have been away from the world for a long time, and they don't know where they are going to live in seclusion. There is no news from them."
"I think Lu Hao is here for you?"
Long Duoduo got the answer before he finished speaking.
Jiang Yichen lowered his head, clenched his fists tightly, and his whole body exuded a murderous aura.
He doesn't know anything about the axe, Shi Zhang Hong.
I only know that Uncle Zhang from the neighboring village of Xishan Island is very strong, and he chops a lot of extra firewood every day and distributes it to his neighbors who are weak in limbs.
I only know that Aunt Zhang has an excellent job as a prostitute, and she even made clothes for him during several New Year holidays.
I only know that Zhang Yuxin is one of the few lucky people who was truly born on the island and whose parents are still alive.
And none of their family of three could escape that bloody disaster.
"Yes." Jiang Yichen tried to calm down his mind and roughly guessed what Lu Hao's intention was.
"Is this battle a matter of life and death?"
"Till death."
"Time is running out. Senior brother has not asked you to accompany him for drinks in the past two days. Senior brother will invite you to a drink the next day. You are not allowed to pour out the three bowls until they are finished."
