In a remote village, you don’t need to think about other things. You only need to drink some wine and eat delicious food every day, practice martial arts with your beautiful apprentice, order your seductive maids to work, bask in the sun, and enjoy the mountain breeze.
, everything is so comfortable and contented.
I don’t know how long it will take for a response from Beijing. In short, it will take one day.
Sitting on a stool with his back against a dead tree. The wine bottle in his hand was empty at some point, and Xia Shang felt quite sleepy.
I don’t know how long it took, but my disciple’s voice came to my ears.
"Master, this is the fourteenth sword move and I have become proficient in it."
Xia Shang opened his eyes and saw his beautiful apprentice covered in fragrant sweat. Seeing her hair moving in the wind and her clothes wet with fragrant sweat, he felt like she was drunk even if she was not drunk.
"Master..." Seemingly noticing Master's gaze, Xue Lengxiang turned slightly sideways, her tone sounding a bit like the girl next door's reproach.
"Uh... that..." Xia Shang was a little embarrassed and hadn't thought of what to say yet.
Unexpectedly, Xue Lengxiang's eyes changed at this moment, and she shouted: "Who?"
Following the figure, Xue Lengxiang quickly took action and immediately caught the little boy hiding behind a dead tree.
Xue Lengxiang acted so quickly that he didn't even have time to see who it was, and threw him in front of Xia Shang.
Seeing the little boy, Xia Shang was a little surprised: "Aren't you the grandson of the old man?"
The little boy was so frightened that he fell to the ground at a loss and didn't say anything. He just couldn't help crying.
Xue Lengxiang was also very surprised when she came back. She looked at the boy and said, "Why is it you?"
The little boy was frightened and cried non-stop.
Xue Lengxiang looked at Xia Shang, then retreated to Xia Shang's side.
The two gave the little boy a lot of time. After the little boy had cried enough and his mood had stabilized, Xia Shang asked: "Don't be nervous, we won't hurt you. Now you can tell me why you came to take a peek.
Bar?"
The little boy sniffed and whispered hesitantly: "I...I want to practice martial arts."
"Why?"
"To... avenge my parents."
"Your parents were killed by people from the Haisha Gang?"
The little boy wiped his tears and kept nodding.
Yesterday, when we led Xia and Shang to the small house, the little boy’s
The move has left a good impression on them.
Now when this little boy cries, he looks really pitiful.
Xue Lengxiang rarely showed a kind look, squatted down and rubbed the little boy's head: "Go back, practicing martial arts is not that simple."
The little boy didn't leave. He wiped his tears and looked at Xue Lengxiang: "Sister, I saw you kill those bad guys yesterday. You are so awesome. Please accept me as your disciple."
Xue Lengxiang smiled: "Sister does not accept apprentices."
"What about this brother? I think this brother is teaching my sister, and that brother will definitely be more powerful. Brother, can you accept me as your apprentice? I will definitely be obedient."
Just as Xia Shang was about to refuse, he suddenly thought that he would also establish the Ming Cult, and sooner or later he would have to recruit disciples.
For such a child, it might be quite fun to be a member of the Mingjiao Church, so I was immediately moved: "Boy, what's your name?"
"My name is Jiang Liu'er."
"Jiang Liu'er..." Xia Shang's mouth twitched, trying to show a normal attitude.
After all, this name is not famous here.
But this child's name is Jiang Liuer, maybe there is some kind of fate.
"I can ask this sister to teach you martial arts."
"Really?" Jiang Liuer's eyes lit up and his neck straightened up.
"But it's not to teach you to avenge your parents."
"Why?"
"I told you now that you don't understand. You can practice martial arts if you want, but you have to let go of the hatred in your heart."
"I practice martial arts to avenge my parents!"
"If that's the case, I can't teach you."
Jiang Liuer's expression changed, and he could see that he was very unwilling.
But Xia Shang seemed to have no intention of changing his mind.
The two faced off for a long time. Jiang Liuer got up angrily, grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it on the ground: "If I can't avenge my parents, I would rather not learn."
After saying that, a person ran away quickly.
Jiang Liuer disappeared in the blink of an eye, and did not continue to peek around.
Seeing Jiang Liu'er leaving, Xue Lengxiang asked with doubts: "Why..."
"Are you trying to tell me why the kid couldn't learn martial arts when he wanted to avenge his parents?"
Xue Lengxiang nodded. In her eyes, it was a good thing that Jiang Liuer did not forget the hatred of his parents. He was a good child.
"What happened yesterday?
do you remember?"
"yesterday……"
Xue Lengxiang looked puzzled.
Xia Shang frowned: "I told you, your murderous intent is too serious, which is not good for you. I didn't understand it very well before, but after I came into contact with more warriors and saw more things, I realized that the issue of murderous intent is particularly important to warriors.
"
Xia Shang paused and continued: "If a warrior hides too much killing and resentment in his heart, he will be controlled by his inner demon sooner or later. If that child is too obsessed with the revenge of his parents, he is likely to be used by others in the future.
It is also easier to be bound by one's own obsessions. Only by knowing how to let go can it be possible to overcome the difficulties in martial arts."
Xia Shang said it very seriously, but Xue Lengxiang didn't seem to agree with it much.
After all, Xia Shang was not a martial arts master, but he pretended to know everything and talked about these illusory truths.
It lacks a sense of identity in anyone's ears.
Xia Shang also realized something recently, and the person who impressed him the most was the strongest warrior in the world today.
Although being the best in the world has become a thing of the past, in the Jinluan Palace, the emperor's obsession and madness lingered in Xia Shang's heart like a curse.
Xia Shang knew that the reason why the emperor was like this must be his inner demons. The higher the martial arts and the greater the power, the heavier the inner demons would be.
Moreover, Yue Haitang told Xia Shang that the Book of Heaven is not a good thing. While it can give people powerful force, it can also subtly change people's character.
There is no doubt that the emperor has practiced the Heavenly Book, at least the contents of the general outline of the Heavenly Book, otherwise he would not have become the strongest person in the world.
But it can also be clearly felt that the emperor is the person most affected by inner demons.
If it weren't for the inner demons, the emperor probably wouldn't have ended up like this.
This also proves what Yue Haitang once told Xia Shang.
This also made Xia Shang more convinced of how terrifying the inner demons of warriors are.
Jiang Liu'er was a good boy, and Xia Shang didn't want him to start practicing martial arts with incorrect intentions from the first day.
A seemingly insignificant thought may, after years of cultivation, eventually become his biggest enemy in life.
Jiang Liuer is like this, and Xue Lengxiang is even more like this.
Compared to Jiang Liuer, Xia Shang was obviously more worried about the good disciple in front of him.
Seeing the disapproval and disdain in her eyes at this moment, Xia Shang became more and more uneasy.
