"You always bring him into the village, but you don't accept him as an apprentice, just let him go like this?... Alas, to be honest, if I hadn't joined the village, would you have really let him waste his life?" It's hard to imagine that Shuan Zhu's martial arts practice was delayed because of the client's hesitation.
"Listen young man, I've thought about this longer than you... I've known that kid longer than you've known..."
"What's the meaning?"
"I met him when he was seven years old..."
"He? Seven years old?" Ye Qingxuan stared at Xue Gongwang's side face in disbelief. After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly realized: "Wow—the 'Explosive Demon Ape King'—"
"That's right, I killed it as a gift for an old friend who just entered the Void Realm... That 'Exploding Demon Ape King' was more resilient than I thought, I thought I would kill it on the spot, but it didn't Thinking of it cheating death and escaping, hum, when I found it, that kid was unconscious aside, if it wasn’t for my old man’s 'Nine-turn Life-Extending Pill', you thought he, a country boy, could survive the foreign blood entering his body The resulting illness? Even if he survived, his brain would be burnt out and he would become an idiot... "
"So you waited for him to wake up, leave, and clean the cave?"
"That's right... From the beginning, I just wanted to test the kid's mind and look at his background... Unfortunately, his background is really a big problem. It stands to reason that the court would immediately respond to this kind of genius who was born among criminals." However, his people are quite smart, so I let it be and ignored it... I thought that I would never have to come back here for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect that ten years later, I would be sent back to personally preside over this operation... "
"Originally... the person in charge is not your old man?"
"Well, the imperial court doesn't rely on me being an old man to get things done... I only have a janitor's head, and there are other people who really advise on this matter..."
Ye Qingxuan chuckled and didn't answer, a person's name flashed across his mind like "Wu Xiang" Zheng Zhantang. All the big and small affairs of the imperial court in the past 40 years have basically been planned by this expert who is known as "the most resourceful". This action against Chongxuanhu undoubtedly has his shadow behind him.
Xue Gongwang continued: "Although I have some hesitation about accepting Shuanzhu as an apprentice, I still place him next to my apprentice Yan Jingshu, hoping that Jingshu can do things that an old man like me dare not do..."
"It's a pity—" Ye Qingxuan heard that his original intention was to let Yan Jingshu discover Shuan Zhu's characteristics and accept him as a disciple. He didn't expect that Yan Jingshu's head was full of the imperial court's big plans. Took his life. This is the so-called "one leaf blinding the eye".
"It's a pity... Jing Shu... Alas, he is too cautious..."
"Yeah, I'm too cautious... But it's good, I've been fulfilled..." Ye Qingxuan gave Xue Gongwang a funny look, and said, "You keep telling me these things, don't you regret that you want to take him back? "
"No, no, kid, I never thought about it that way at all... That kid Shuanzhu is indeed a genius who cultivates my martial art. Neither Xue Wengong nor Yan Jingshu is as talented as this kid, but, After all, this child is old, his meridians are well formed, and he has limited achievements in cultivating internal strength again. If he is purely practicing external martial arts, heh, you know, apart from the fact that his lifespan is not long, a martial artist who relies purely on his body is also not strong enough in terms of toughness. The recovery ability is very weak, and it must be from the outside to the inside, but this kind of cultivation is too tight in terms of time, and this goes back to the old problem of external masters. You know, in the history of Shenwu Continent, relying on external skills eventually entered the congenital In the past two thousand years, there have been only a few people who can be counted on one hand. To spend so much to cultivate such a "talent", the price paid is enough to train two innate masters... If he can't become innate, then It is impossible for such an acquired peak master to beat a natural master."
"So, you have been hesitating?"
"Uh... That's right." Xue Gongwang sighed, and said lightly: "I've been thinking about it, maybe it would be better to get a 'Taiqing Yujing Pill', but it's a bit too difficult..."
"Will 'Taibai Jianzong' give you old face?"
"Hmph—Changchunzi, that old bull-nosed man, won't sell anyone's face..."
"That's why that kid Shuanzhu had the chance to become Yunzhu..."
Xue Gongwang nodded, and said with a smile: "Your boy is indeed lucky, and he didn't waste anything. You did a good job, and the set of exercises you taught him is very powerful. I didn't expect that you would let the residual blood in his arms so quickly. The essence of the 'Destroying Demon Ape King' circulates all over the body, and the whole person is like a reduced version of the 'Destroying Demon Ape', breath, muscles, bones, strength... er, it is very comprehensive... This kind of exercise to change the physical quality should be It’s not just this level, is it? If this technique has been changed more than seven times, I’m afraid its level has already surpassed the Xianlong Cave, which is known as the “No. 1 Body Refining Technique”... Yellow level? Orange level? Or red level? Mystery... Do you understand? I have never heard of a Taoist faction with such a powerful body protection magic... "
"Can you see this skill?" Ye Qingxuan's heart shuddered. Although [Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu] is the highest body-protecting skill of Tantric Buddhism, it is just a purely body-strengthening skill, and it has nothing to do with the cultivation of true energy. There is a conflict between his inner strength and mental methods. Moreover, the effect of this technique is super powerful. It is not unusual to see how extraordinary this technique is. What is strange is that this old man can roughly distinguish the depth of this technique at a glance.
It's just that he didn't expect that this skill is not orange level, nor red level, but gold level. Just the first nine layers of this exercise can be regarded as a red-level exercise, not to mention that there are thirteen layers in this exercise.
"Have you forgotten what I do?"
"Oh—the secret agent of the imperial court. Remember, [Heavenly Vision and Earth Listening]? Huh, eagles and dogs are necessary..." Ye Qingxuan thought of Huo Dong, and Xue Wengong again, and felt bad for no reason.
"Hahaha..." Xue Gongwang laughed loudly and said, "That's right, kid..."
"Sorry..." Ye Qingxuan blushed suddenly, knowing that he had slipped his words again.
"It doesn't matter, an eagle dog is an eagle dog. You have to see far and hear accurately... That old boy Huo Dong is a good example... If he doesn't have these two skills, it's not his turn to be selected as an outsider in the 'Five Great Gods Shop'..."
The imperial court's "Five Gods" are well-known and have a great deterrent effect on the green forest forces. Except for Huo Dong, who is from the "Heavenly Bird Gate", the other four are talents cultivated by the imperial court themselves. The sons of officials.
"In short... I am very optimistic about you...Young talents, I have lived such an old age, I have seen a lot, and the level of martial arts is higher than yours, and they are like crucian carp in the river, but there has never been a person like you. It doesn't mean how deep your city is..." At this point, Xue Gongwang turned his head and looked Ye Qingxuan up and down, and said slowly: "To be honest, you are a talented person. You are talented enough, your understanding is first-class, and you are diligent enough to practice martial arts, but your shortcomings are too obvious! In terms of vision, you are no worse than anyone else, but in terms of methods, you are ridiculously naive …”
Hearing this, Ye Qingxuan blushed suddenly and felt relieved. He had no choice but to grow up in a peaceful age in his previous life. The biggest struggle was just scrambling to flatter the leader in the office or giving someone who disliked him. The deepest city is nothing more than pretending to be deep when picking up girls in bars, or checking Baidu while surfing the Internet and pretending to be understanding with others. Even if you go to school when you are young, what the teacher teaches is only how to solve the problems, not how to be a human being... with a heart? shrewdness? Who doesn't learn the truth after graduating from college and hitting a wall in society for more than ten years.
Ye Qingxuan bowed down humbly, and said sincerely: "Xiao Ke is new to the rivers and lakes, and his experience is still inexperienced. Please give me some advice from seniors..."
Xue Gongwang nodded, and admired Ye Qingxuan's attitude very much. For young people, it's normal to have little experience, but I'm afraid that young people don't know the depth, pretend to be smart, and trade their own lives for experience. Although this method can gain deeper understanding, But if he fails, he will die, and the price is too high. The child in front of him, regardless of other things, is worthy of recognition for his humbly asking for advice.
Xue Gongwang said: "I don't want to repeat your way of doing things, a person's habits can't be easily changed, so I still won't repeat, but I can give you some life-saving advice.
First, you are too used to one-on-one duels;
Second, you are not ruthless enough, you were too hesitant when taking someone's life.
This is also a common shortcoming of your disciples of the Bai Dao School.
Competitions between Baidao sects, whether within the sect or with disciples of other sects, are all one-on-one. It seems fair, but in fact it is extremely stupid. Let me ask, in a real battle between rivers and lakes, in a bloody fight between life and death, who can guarantee that you have only one opponent? The one-on-one fight is just a self-deceiving performance in the sect, the fighting in the green forest is the real arena... In white-dao contests, what is sought is a victory or defeat, but in the real arena, the fight is for life and death!
Let’s just say that the competition between you and Xianlongdong this time is like this, it looks dangerous, but in fact it is careless, otherwise, with your shrewdness, how could you let the Panlong ancestor sneak attack and save the dragon son? What's more, that was already the second time Panlong Patriarch made a move. Although Panlong is innate, he is not good at sneak attacks at all. He secretly said that each of you can avoid his attack, but none of you pay attention to the changes around you , completely concentrated on one person, he deserves to be unlucky if he suffers. "
When Ye Qingxuan heard this, he was already in a cold sweat. As soon as Xue Gongwang finished speaking, Ye Qingxuan got up quickly, kowtowed respectfully to the senior three times, and said: "Thank you for your guidance today, if Qingxuan can live for a long time in the future, it all depends on the teaching of the senior today..."
Xue Gongwang sneered, scolded "sycophant", waved Ye Qingxuan up, no longer being serious, but started chatting randomly.
"Your sound wave skills are profound, but when I heard that child Feiyan talk about you, he only said that you have superb swordsmanship, but I haven't heard that you are unparalleled in rhythm?"
"This martial art is also the martial arts that I got from the ruins of a previous dynasty when I was traveling in the mountains, and it is not revealed on weekdays..."
