Yuan Chengzhi obeyed and knelt down. Li Jiang rolled his eyes. Are you done? But he didn't dare to react, so he knelt down and muttered in a low voice.
Mu Renqing then said with satisfaction: "Sword is the ancestor of hundreds of weapons, and it is the most difficult to learn. The swordsmanship of our school is even more extensive and profound. In addition, since the ancestors of the past generations, each generation has improved."
"In other sects of martial arts, masters often reserve special skills, so that one generation is inferior to the next, and the more exquisite works are passed down, the fewer and fewer exquisite works are passed down. This is not the case in this sect. When selecting disciples, they are extremely strict, and after they are selected, they teach them all.
In terms of swordsmanship alone, every generation is better than its predecessor."
Mu Renqing looked at the two disciples with joy and continued: "You are smart and diligent. It is not difficult to learn swordsmanship well. What I hope for you is to carry it forward in the future."
As he spoke, his voice became stern: "You must remember that the sword is a sharp weapon. Use it to do good, and its good will be endless. Use it to do evil, and its evil will be endless. Today I want you to make a solemn oath. Throughout your life,
Never kill an innocent person."
Yuan Chengzhi quickly made an oath: "Master taught me swordsmanship. If I hurt a good person with my sword in the future, I will definitely be killed by him."
Mu Renqing turned to Li Jiang again. Li Jiang was kneeling in front of him. He was thinking about whether he was an innocent person if he killed two people some time ago. When he saw the master's eyes turning, he could only swear: "If I hurt a good person,
, I can’t stay in this world any longer.” He thought smartly, the worst he could do was save enough 10,000 faith points and run away to another world.
After Mu Renqing saw that both of them had sworn an oath, he nodded and said, "Okay, get up."
The two stood up and stood on both sides in silence.
Mu Renqing said to Yuan Chengzhi again: "Chengzhi, I know that you are kind-hearted and will never kill good people intentionally. But sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong. The world is treacherous and people's hearts are unpredictable. Good people may be bad people. Bad people say
He may actually be a good person. But as long as you always maintain a loyal and tolerant heart, it will be difficult to accidentally hurt him."
Yuan Chengzhi nodded in agreement.
Mu Renqing added: "Emperor Chongzhen killed your father. In his eyes, he only thought that your father was a bad person. His killing was not bad at all, but he made a big mistake."
Yuan Chengzhi's eyes turned red for a moment, and the master's voice continued to ring in his ears: "Emperor Chongzhen has killed many ministers and generals over the years. Some of them were bad people, but he also killed a lot of good people. He didn't know right from wrong, and he was not lenient at all.
If he kills so randomly, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably be destroyed in his hands."
Yuan Chengzhi nodded sadly, knowing that his master brought up Chongzhen's murder of his father to ask him to keep the lesson of "it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, and do not kill recklessly" deeply in his heart, and never forget it.
Leaving Yuan Chengzhi secretly sad, Mu Renqing said to Li Jiang: "Haichuan, you are smart and talented, but you have an unstable temper and are still a bit flighty, so you must remember not to do whatever you want and harm others and yourself.
."
Li Jiang listened to his sincere warning and knew that this was for his own good, so he nodded and agreed.
Seeing how amiable Mu Renqing was now, Li Jiang's heart moved, and he started to speak but hesitated.
Seeing his appearance, Mu Renqing smiled and said, "Tell me, what's the problem?"
"Well, well, master, what about that? When I went down the mountain to buy books, I saw an injustice and killed two kidnappers. Isn't this considered an indiscriminate killing of innocent people?" Li Jiang said hesitantly.
"What, you went down the mountain privately?" Mu Renqing was shocked, patted the armrest of the chair and stood up.
Yuan Chengzhi on the side was not sad, and even said in surprise: "Junior brother, you killed someone!"
Seeing their excited expressions, Li Jiang couldn't help but laugh. These two masters and apprentices were really interesting. One was focused on going down the mountain, and the other was focused on killing people. Moreover, Mu Renqing also behaved very strangely. Shouldn't he be focusing on his own murder? Instead, he went to
Pay attention to the little things about your descent.
Li Jiang immediately straightened his face and replied: "Master, you are wrong. I did not go down the mountain privately. This was done with the consent of my junior brother and my dumb uncle. If you don't believe me, ask them."
Mu Renqing turned his gaze to Yuan Chengzhi, and when he saw Yuan Chengzhi nodding to confirm, he basically believed it.
He knew Li Jiang's disciple well, so instead of restraining him, he was afraid that he would show off and fool around with half a bucket of water just because he had learned some skills. If he met a master, he would definitely suffer a big loss. This is Huashan.
Heirs to the Taoist tradition must not make any mistakes.
So he sat back and said with a straight face: "Tell me honestly how you killed someone, otherwise you will be forced to try the Huashan family method!"
Listening to Mu Renqing's threats, Li Jiang curled his lips. Seeing his behavior, he felt extremely unbelievable. So he did not hide anything and told everything he had done in Huayin County after coming down from the mountain.
Mu Renqing frowned when he heard him talk about taking action when he saw an injustice on the way. Then he showed a nervous expression when he heard that he was injured. Finally, when he heard that he killed someone in anger, he stroked his beard and laughed.
Yuan Chengzhi was startled, and as the plot developed, he even said: "Ah! Oh! Oh!"
While Li Jiang was talking, he was also observing Mu Renqing's face. It wasn't until he saw him smiling that he finally calmed down. It seemed that this young man had passed the test.
After explaining the matter, Li Jiang looked at Mu Renqing eagerly, waiting for his decision.
Yuan Chengzhi was very like his senior brother. Before Mu Renqing could speak, he cupped his fists and said, "Master, I think junior brother is right. Kidnappers should be killed by everyone on sight!"
Mu Renqing waved his hand and said: "Okay, Chengzhi, don't plead for him. This little monkey hasn't been beaten for three days and he went to the house to lift the roof. You are too kind and can't control him when I'm not around.
Look, isn't something wrong? As a senior brother, you must always urge him."
Yuan Chengzhi only agreed.
Mu Renqing then said to Li Jiang: "Haichuan, you did nothing wrong about killing the two kidnappers." He first settled the matter.
Li Jiang was happy and thought silently that there must be a "but". Sure enough, Mu Renqing said with sincerity: "But today, the war is chaotic and the rivers and lakes are dangerous. You have never walked in the rivers and lakes. If you are an ordinary person, ordinary warriors will not fight with you.
Generally speaking, depending on your temperament and your martial arts proficiency, you will most likely come forward forcefully, which will lead to greater revenge."
Hearing this, Li Jiang was a little embarrassed. Sure enough, the master had guessed it. Do I really have to be so blind?
But Li Jiang was stubborn and argued forcefully: "Master, I didn't force myself to come forward. I was the only warrior in the situation at that time. I couldn't do anything without taking action. You don't know how pitiful that child is..."
"Stop, let me ask you, the specific moves you made when you were fighting with that man!" Mu Renqing forcibly interrupted Li Jiang's babble.
"Oh." Li Jiang had a good memory. Although he didn't know the specific names of each of the opponent's moves, he still clearly remembered his movements. At Mu Renqing's request, he had no choice but to go to the hall and start making gestures.
"He just punched me like this, I used my Hunyuan Palm and then counterattacked..." Li Jiang said continuously.
"Finally, I saw that his sternum was shattered and he wouldn't live long, so I put a hand on it and finished my mission of eradicating evil."
After Datong explained, Li Jiang's mouth went dry and he returned to his seat, picked up the tea bowl and took a gulp of water.
After hearing this, Mu Renqing did not comment, but said to Yuan Chengzhi: "Chengzhi, tell me what you think of this fight between junior brothers."
"Okay, Master." Yuan Chengzhi also walked into the hall and started making gestures as Li Jiang just said.
"Junior brother made several mistakes. For example, when the opponent's first move came, if it were me, I would slide sideways, turn behind him and hit him in the back. Even if I didn't make any achievements, I could take the initiative."
"For example, the fifth move, if this..., I will do that..."
