Chapter 65 The sword has the sword energy, the long sword has the madness of the sword!
Suzhou and Hangzhou are indeed worthy of being called the Rain Town in the south of the Yangtze River. Since Daergou and his master entered Suzhou, they have experienced four or five rains. Fortunately, they learned the first lesson. Master and disciple
The two of them never got wet in the rain several times.
There is enough rain, and the vegetation in Suzhou has become extremely rich. Even the official roads are lined with tall trees. If you walk on the road in summer, pedestrians will not feel the heat.
Suddenly, the old man who was walking with squinted eyes in front suddenly stopped and fell into the dense forest beside the road.
"follow me."
Jiang Ergou, who didn't know what was going on, really didn't know what tricks his master had come up with, but he couldn't leave him alone! He had no choice but to follow his steps into the dense forest.
"Old man, why are you taking me into the woods to hunt game?"
Ergou pushed aside the weeds half as tall as a man in front of him, and asked the old man in front of him who remembered that one came out.
"What kind of game are you hunting? Just follow me, kid. I will definitely benefit from you when the time comes."
If he was going to do any hard work, Ergou would naturally be unwilling to do it. But when he heard that it had its own benefits, Ergou's mood suddenly became high.
"Old man, this is what you said. If there is no benefit to be gained by then, don't blame me for asking you for it!"
"Put your heart back into your belly."
Compared with Ergou, it is much easier for the old man to walk in the dense forest. The weeds cannot touch him at all. When the old man passes by them, they will be pushed away by an invisible breath.
Automatically branch out a path.
"Hua Hua Hua..."
The master and apprentice walked nearly two miles deep into the jungle, and then the sound of running water reached their ears.
Pulling away the last cage of weeds in sight, a waterfall about fifteen feet high appeared in front of them.
"Not bad! This place is not bad. Let's live here for a while."
The old man's eyes showed a look of satisfaction.
"Old man, is this the benefit you said? Did you bring me here to enjoy the scenery? When we were in the mountain stream, you didn't see enough of the broken waterfall?"
Jiang Ergou, who was originally in high spirits, instantly lost interest after seeing this waterfall.
It's not that Ergou doesn't like beautiful scenery, but that he has seen enough waterfalls since he was a child, and he is tired of seeing them.
"Take you to enjoy the scenery? Even if you are daydreaming, don't have such a sweet dream! Just wait! You will feel better later."
After the old man finished speaking, he ignored Jiang Ergou. The long sword on his back automatically unsheathed, and wherever it passed, any tree no matter how thick it was, would fall down.
Now that you have decided to live here for a while, you must have a place to sleep. Even if it is a doghouse, you have to build one.
"Ergou, I've finished cutting down the trees, and I'll leave the rest of building the house to you. The division of labor is clear, and it's 'fair' to both you and me."
Ergou was speechless as he looked at the old man who had cut down the trees he needed in just ten breaths.
"Are you sure you're really fair in saying that?"
"What's wrong? If you really think it's unfair, you don't have to accept it! Just don't come and live in it when I build the house."
"Come on, tell me, you are just relying on your inner strength to play rogue. I know I am not as powerful as you, right? I can't cut down these trees in such a short time, so why don't I work hard!
"
At his wits' end, Jiang Ergou took off the Kunwu knife from his waist and put it aside, rolled up his sleeves, walked over and started fucking passionately.
…
There is a huge bluestone under the waterfall, and the water falling from a height of fifteen feet hits this stone.
But now, there is a person standing on the stone. I don't know if it is the idiot who had nothing to do but ran to the bottom of the waterfall to resist the impact of the water flow.
"Old man, you are so inhuman that you can come up with such a bad idea!"
The fool who roared like this was naturally Jiang Ergou, who was suffering tremendous torture at the moment.
directly and from heaven
The back where the falling rapids came into contact had turned red. If it hadn't been for the meager internal strength to support him, he would have been knocked down by the current and fell into the pool below.
Look at the old man who came up with such a solution. He is sleeping in a simple homemade hammock.
With the roar from the two dogs, the old man was also awakened.
"Why, you can't bear this little hardship, what kind of swordsman do you want to become? I think you are a cheap swordsman!"
The old man didn't necessarily want to laugh at Jiang Ergou, he just wanted to motivate him through this method. Of course, there was a lot of intentionality in it.
"Old man, don't speak too harshly. I just want to vent my anger. On the surface, I feel very uncomfortable now, but in fact it's all pretending. Just wait, I have to impress you today.
!”
"Okay! You are ambitious. Then I will watch here and see if you can convince me today!"
The old man clapped his hands in praise, but probably because the new hammock was not very comfortable, he turned over and found a comfortable position, and fell asleep soon.
After about an hour, Ergou was really stubborn this time and did not beg for mercy. The old man who had already woken up felt a little relieved to see Ergou, who was sweating profusely under the impact of the waterfall.
He was about to ask him to come down and take a rest, but he regretted it before he said it. For no other reason than Ergou said something before him.
"Old man, is it time? I really can't hold it anymore. At the beginning, I forgot to ask you how long you have to stand. It's really not possible. How about you give in this time? Next time
, I will definitely impress you!"
"Humph, it's not even half an hour yet!"
The old man's good mood was fleeting, and his displeasure added half an hour to Ergou's time.
…
In the blink of an eye, Ergou has been practicing in this beautiful place for almost a month. His internal strength is much better than when he first came here. Gradually, he is already approaching the fifth level.
.
As the days go by, the autumn mood is getting stronger and stronger. There is no longer a heat wave in the evening, but on the contrary, there is a hint of coolness.
"Ergou, your progress over the past few days is really not small!"
It was rare that this stingy old man was willing to praise himself, and Ergou felt happy all of a sudden, smiling from ear to ear.
"That's right! Don't look at who your apprentice is. In the past few thousand years, there has only been a talented Jiang Ergou like me. How can he be so powerful?"
Ignoring Jiang Ergou, who was about to raise his tail to the sky, the old man continued.
"You just need to complete one more thing, and then we can leave."
Finally, he had a chance to leave this hellish place. Jiang Ergou was so excited that he really wanted to scream to the sky and come out right then and there.
"Old man, what do you want to do? As long as I can get out of here, it's okay for me to stand under the waterfall for a day."
He glanced sideways at Jiang Ergou.
"real?"
"Fake!"
Ergou quickly showed a flattering smile.
"Old man, I'm just saying this. Don't take it seriously. If I stand here for a day, my life will be at stake. You'd better tell me honestly what you're going to do.
Only if we do it can we get out of here."
"cut."
He glanced at Ergou with disdain.
"This last thing is hard to say, but easy to say. If you see that waterfall, cut it off with a knife, and we can leave."
Ergou turned his head and blinked at the waterfall that was fourteen to five meters wide.
"Old man, why are you leaving? It's pretty good here. It's not bad to live there for three to five years."
"Nothing to show for it."
The old man looked at the two dogs and laughed.
"Old man, are you sure you are right, Yi Dao! Do you think I am at the first level now?"
"If you reach the first level, I won't even let you chop down this waterfall, just chop down the mountain for me!"
Facing the old man's teasing, Ergou didn't even feel like talking back.
"The key is that this is impossible!"
Ergou spread his hands, showing his helplessness.
"Nothing is impossible, the key is to be diligent!"
The smile on the old man's face gradually disappeared and was replaced by a serious face.
"Heart?"
There was a strong color of confusion in Ergou's eyes.
"Yes, the sword is the first of all weapons, and the sword is the king of weapons. But in fact, in my eyes, whether you use a sword or a sword, it is the same."
The old man's long sword flew out of nowhere and appeared in his left hand.
"The sword hits the surface and gathers all the power into one place, so the attack power is naturally unrivaled."
Then, with a move of his right hand, Ergou's Kunwu Sword also appeared in his hand
"The sword opens and closes widely, its power is unparalleled, and everything it sweeps is within the atmosphere of its attack."
Then, the old man put the two weapons together.
"But whether you are using a sword or a sword, you have to do one thing! That is to use your heart! Since ancient times, why are people who use swords so much better than people who use other weapons? That's because of their state of mind
Because of this! With a high state of mind, even if you are only at the ninth level, your sword will still be invincible in the world."
When the old man said this, there was a look of reminiscence in his eyes.
"From ancient times to the present, there has been only one example of killing a first-class person with a second-class level, and the person who created this example was a senior swordsman with a very high state of mind."
"Don't ask me what state of mind is. I don't understand it very well. I think I can't explain it clearly, but once you understand it, you understand it."
When Ergou was about to speak, he was blocked by the old man and did not ask any more questions. However, Ergou slowly took back his Kunwu knife and put it on his lap!
The old man sat opposite Jiang Ergou and looked at him quietly. Seeing his apprentice getting better and better, he stroked his gray beard with a smile on his face. Before this, he had never touched his own beard.
After sitting there all night, Ergou didn't react until early the next morning. He stood up, picked up the Kunwu knife, and stood in front of the waterfall.
Lift the knife! Chop!
The 14- to 15-meter-wide waterfall spread out from left to right, and roughly estimated the distance to be four meters.
Lift the knife! Chop!
This time, the hole that was made had a tendency to expand, and was several inches wider than the previous one.
Raise the knife! Chop!…Raise the knife! Chop!
The two dogs seemed to be possessed by a man who hacked from morning to night, and from night to the next morning.
But when the hole spread to two-thirds of the entire waterfall, Ergou could no longer make any progress and was stuck here.
The east is dew white, and the first ray of sunshine in the early morning appears here through the layers of shade.
The old man Wang Xuanlang who had been watching all night suddenly took action, and the sword behind his back automatically unsheathed and floated in front of him.
He pressed his sword in the air and thrust forward, and a small dot-like gap appeared in the center of the waterfall.
Then, the small dot continued to expand and even became a line!
The flow was cut off! The waterfall was really cut open in the middle like a piece of cloth by Wang Xuanlang, causing the flow to cut off for about a second!
Then, he stretched out his hand and the Kunwu knife in Ergou's hand flew out automatically and flew into his hand.
A horizontal slash!
After the sword flashed, the waterfall cut off from left to right and stopped flowing again.
One sword, one sword! Twice cut off!
The old man suddenly sheathed his sword and looked straight at Jiang Ergou.
"You! You have realized it!"
The confusion in the two dogs' eyes became more intense, but then gradually became clearer.
"Here comes the knife!"
This time, the Kunwu knife broke free from the old man's hand and flew towards Jiang Ergou.
"The sword has sword energy, but what about the sword?"
The two dogs suddenly struck out with their swords, and an invisible wave of swords struck straight at the waterfall.
