Ten drops, a hundred drops, a thousand drops.
Then the drops of water formed a curtain of rain, blocking everyone's sight.
The faces of the maids were full of disbelief. This noble prince, who looked three points weaker than His Royal Highness, could actually cause such a strange phenomenon.
"No!" Xu Fengnian shouted, and suddenly remembered that there was a white-haired old man locked under the lake. I don't know who the old Kui is, but he has been at the bottom of the lake for at least more than ten years. In Xu Fengnian's eyes, this old Kui is like a demon, definitely more powerful than the old monsters in Tingchao Pavilion.
Moreover, the old Kui had the most violent temper. If the mountain ghost acted so recklessly, he would definitely cause big trouble.
Just as Xu Fengnian was about to stop Jing Zhou's actions, there was an explosion, and the lake boiled instantly. There was no wind and waves in the lake, and a fierce aura poured out from the bottom of the lake unbridled. The vortex in the center of the lake became more and more rapid, and then water columns rose into the sky, and explosions were heard in succession.
Suddenly, two water pillars shot out from the lake, like a waterfall, which scared Xu Fengnian and turned pale in an instant. Although the two water pillars were not heading towards him, both the mountain ghost and the blue bird standing behind the mountain ghost were probably going to suffer.
But for some reason, the two water jets were about to rush to the lakeside and hit the mountain ghost and the blue bird, then they stopped powerlessly and dispersed into splashes with a "crash".
"Let's go, let's go, let Xu Xiao clean up here!" Xu Fengnian breathed a sigh of relief, shouted to the maids, and dragged Jiang Ni to run away, not forgetting to slap Lao Huang's hand. Shoulders, after all, this is the only old servant in the entire palace who can knit straw sandals, bake sweet potatoes, and raise horses.
The old man at the bottom of the lake is a lunatic. If someone offends him, who knows what will happen next.
Qingniao put a hand on Jingzhou's shoulder and said urgently: "Young Master, it's dangerous here, hurry up!"
Jing Zhou gently took the hand off his shoulder and said softly: "Don't worry, the people under this lake can't afford to make many waves. Just pour the wine for me, and I can protect you."
Master Xiaomeng once said that this person is always easily blocked by the illusory things such as masters, masters, and masters, and loses his original intention. Otherwise, why would the world's masters always choose some strange places for a duel? Such as the top of the Forbidden City, heaven and earth? And why choose a full moon night? Probably because these extraordinary places are high and dangerous and cannot be reached by ordinary people, so that the masters can appear extraordinary. Moreover, since you are a master, not only must you choose an unusual place, but the time of the duel must also be in line with the status of the master, and the night of the full moon is no better than this.
And he, Mr. Jing, has always regarded himself as a "common man". Since he is a common man, he always leaves one or two maids to watch the battle. Otherwise, if no one cheers, wouldn't it be a self-admiration?
Chao Qingniao gave a "reassuring" look, and Jingzhou smiled at Jiang Ni and said, "My good disciple, this sword was originally supposed to be handed to you after you have gained the foundation. Now you might as well take a look in advance. See if my master can protect you."
Jing Zhou flipped his hands a little, and the water droplets in the air connected together into swords, one, two, ten. In the blink of an eye, the rain curtain in the air turned into hundreds of long swords.
"Old Huang, I'm not dreaming!" Xu Fengnian patted his face. It's not like he has never seen a master take action, but no matter how powerful a person is, he probably has a majestic sword that can cut out ten-foot-long sword energy and can cut stones. The lion split into two, splitting the sky and destroying a house with one sword. But masters must hold weapons after all. Isn't that the case for the few slaves guarding the pavilion in Tingchao Pavilion? Even the white-haired old man at the bottom of the lake still has two knives!
In his opinion, this method of condensing water into a sword with bare hands is no longer the ability of a mortal.
"Young master, take a closer look. I think it will be good for you." Old Huang stood up from the ground, held the box behind him in his arms, and stroked it gently, with a complex expression on his face.
The sight of hundreds of water swords condensed in the air was extremely shocking. Except for Hongshu and Qingniao who were held by Jingzhou, the rest of the maids were stunned.
The words "good disciple" made Jiang Ni's heart tremble, and the grievances he had suffered over the past few years suddenly surged up from the bottom of his heart.
The corners of her eyes were reddish, and her gaze fell on Jingzhou. Compared to the hundreds of swords in the air, the smile hanging on the corner of Jingzhou's mouth attracted her more. From that smile, she felt a peace of mind that she had never felt before. It seemed that even if the sky was about to fall, the thin figure in purple could still protect her.
A dragon roar sounded, and hundreds of long swords circled upwards, instantly turning into a sword dragon.
Old Huang rubbed the sword box, the deep emotion on his face became more and more complex, and for a moment, his body exuded an indescribable meaning.
Tingchao Pavilion
Several servants guarding the pavilion stood by the window, looking at the sword dragon in the sky. At this time, in the eyes of everyone, the sword dragon was both a dragon and a sword. Endless sword energy circulated in the dragon's body. Every time the sword energy circulated, the sword force became heavier, and what followed was a shocking sound. The dragon's roar in his heart went straight to the sky.
It's so heartwarming, but I can't help but worship it.
The sound of the dragon's roar set off huge waves, and the dragon's body rolled over the river and the sea. The sky was filled with black clouds, and the sky was about to collapse. Everyone looked pale, and suddenly a thought appeared in their hearts: "I want to die!"
Then the scene in front of everyone changed again. A huge sword spanned the sky and the earth. Suddenly, the sword was slashed. The endless sword energy was wrapped in a brilliant momentum and split the entire lake into two halves.
Jiang Ni opened her mouth slightly. In her eyes, the giant dragon looked up to the sky and roared, and then turned into little water droplets and scattered. The originally boiling lake surface calmed down in an instant, as if everything before was a wildfire. Dream.
"This sword is neither a sword nor a sword. Girl, do you see clearly?" Jing Zhou's voice rang in his ears, Jiang Ni came back to his senses, his eyes were blurred, and he seemed to understand.
"Hahaha, it's just Xiaomihu. It's okay. With your qualifications, you can always learn it." Jingzhou waved his hand towards Jiang Ni, motioning for her to come over, grabbed it from the air, and flew out a water sword from the lake. It fell into his palm.
"You don't have any basic knowledge. Let's learn basic swordsmanship first." As he said that, Jingzhou showed the movements of stabbing, lifting, hanging, tapping and jumping twice. There were no fancy moves, just the simplest ones. action.
"I will write a book of basic swordsmanship for you later as my master. When a tall building rises from the ground, the foundation must be laid bit by bit. The stronger the better."
"I, I, I haven't said that I want to be your apprentice, how could you..." Jiang Ni's voice sounded like a mosquito.
Jingzhou threw the water sword into the lake and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether you agree or not. The key is whether I want to accept you. Since I have accepted you as my apprentice, I must give you something decent. Allow me Think about it, this is my first time as a master and I have no experience..."
"Have you ever had an apprentice?" Jiang Ni's face darkened, and he suddenly felt like he was on a thief's wagon.
"No, if you have taken on a disciple, how can you be inexperienced?" Jing Zhou said very calmly, groping in his arms a few times, and after a while he took out two gold leaves, "The last two are for you. ”
"Really?" The ginger clay figure was extremely happy, his almond-shaped eyes narrowed into a thin line, and he grabbed forward with one hand. These are gold leaves, not silver, and certainly not copper plates. I don’t know how many copper plates these two gold leaves can be exchanged for. Jiang Ni felt that the hard-earned money she had saved over the years was not as valuable as this golden leaf.
"Slow down!" Jingzhou stopped the hand that stretched out in front of his eyes.
Jiang Ni pouted, "What, you want to go back on your word? How can there be any reason to give something away and then take it back again? Let alone a master giving it to an apprentice?"
"Master, am I such a stingy person?" Jingzhou threw two gold leaves into the air, and Void drew on the two gold leaves a few times before handing them to Jiang Ni and said with a smile: "I'm on top. With the sword intention left behind, you can string these two leaves together and wear them on your wrist."
Jiang Ni took the two leaves and her eyes were hot. Each leaf was engraved with a word, and the two leaves in a pair happened to be her name.
The eighth floor of Tingchao Pavilion
It took a long time before Dazhu Guo came back to his senses.
"Yi Shan, what do you think of this boy's strength? He was able to suppress Chu Kuangnu with one move. Although Chu Kuangnu's strength is greatly limited underwater, people in the Vajra realm always have some unusual methods."
"Can't see clearly, can't guess." Li Yishan took a sip of wine and looked away from the distance.
Xu Xiao laughed a few times, "I didn't expect that there are people in this world that you can't see through. I thought I could see the swords in the Jian Jiu yellow box this time. But now it's time to put Huang Man'er He was sent to Wudang to be degenerated. Since Feng Nian wants to take a road that has never been done before, as a father, I can only continue to pave the way for him."
Li Yishan nodded, returned to the small table and started waving his pen.
"Yi Shan, do you think it's easy for me to be a father?" Xu Xiao was used to Li Yishan's silence, so he laughed at himself and said to himself: "If Feng Nian wants to take over the banner of Beiliang, he must first surrender. Chen Zhibao. Chen Qiong has a good son. Chen Zhibao is a man who arranges troops and formations without leakage and is superb. Xi Chu can be destroyed thanks to him sitting in the army and strategizing. But it is not easy for Fengnian to use him as a whetstone. . There is not one person like Chen Zhibao in a hundred years. Fengnian is no match for Chen Zhibao in the army. The only way to go is martial arts."
Li Yishan lowered his head and wrote: "Wudang is in full swing."
Xu Xiao said with emotion: "Wang Zhonglou is also a person. Wudang Dahuangting's skill is to make wedding clothes for people. He wears Dahuangting and practices according to Fengnian's acupuncture points. With Wang Zhonglou's decades of pure True Qi, even if Feng Nian enters the world at this time, it is not too late."
In front of Tingchao Pavilion
After a while, Xu Fengnian collected his thoughts and said with a look of reluctance: "Is this the end? Shouldn't the master's fight be a three-day and three-night fight with no winner or loser? Even if the fight cannot last three days and three nights, shouldn't it be? , there must be hundreds of moves, what a charming sword, but you didn't even demolish the pavilion by the lake!"
It was the first time that he saw such a method that transcended ordinary people, and it ended in such a short time. His Royal Highness was naturally not satisfied with it. It's a pity that the white-haired old man couldn't get out from the bottom of the lake. Even if he didn't see enough, he couldn't jump into the lake and go down to persuade the old man to take action.
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
"Who told you that the showdown between masters will take three days and three nights?" Jingzhouren returned to the couch and lay down lazily, "Beggar Xu, can you still catch this fish? You'll be waiting to eat it later. Here’s the fish you grilled yourself.”
Xu Fengnian's face couldn't help but twitch, and then she said angrily: "I suspect that you did something secretly, otherwise how could this fish not take the bait?"
Jingzhou smiled and said: "If the fish doesn't take the bait, go ask the fish. What's the use of doubting me."
Xu Fengnian was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and ignored Jing Zhou.
If he could ask fish questions, wouldn't he become the most amazing person in the world, why would he be a libertine?
When Jiang Ni saw Xu Fengnian choked on her words, she couldn't help laughing. She finally saw that this bastard Xu Fengnian was deflated.
"Little clay figurine, what's her name?" Jing Zhou pointed to the maid behind him.
"Her?" Jiang Ni glanced aside and said calmly: "Her name is Qingniao."
Blue Bird has the coldest temperament in Wutong Garden. He is taciturn and extremely unlovable. Even Sweet Potato, who is always kind to others, has few good words for Blue Bird. Ginger paste is not as good as sweet potato, so it naturally has little contact with bluebirds.
Jingzhou couldn't help but praise: "Qingniao, Dazhu Kingdom is so talented."
He remembered that Qingniao was the daughter of Grand Master Spear King Wang Xiu and the junior sister of Chen Zhibao, but was later trained by Xu Xiao to become a dead soldier around Xu Fengnian. Xu Fengnian, no one in Wutong Garden has a simple status. It's just that Qingniao has a withdrawn personality, a cold face and a cold heart, and is often ostracized in Wutong Garden.
Xu Fengnian said without hesitation: "What can Xu Xiao do?"
Jingzhou threw Xu Fengnian's words aside and waved to Qingniao, gesturing for her to take two steps forward.
Xu Xiao's handwriting would probably not be finished even if it lasted for three days and three nights. Everyone in the world calls Xu Xiao Xu Manzi, especially the civil servants of the Liyang Dynasty. They despise this vulgar person the most. Who hasn't scolded him a few times in private? Many people even think that if they have 350,000 cavalry, they may not be any worse than Xu Xiao. But this barbarian, who is secretly reviled by many people, is the best in the world in getting an official position in wars, the best in the world in marrying a wife, and the best in having a son!
Even if he dies, he will die on the bed of old age. He can be said to be a great man for a while.
The blue bird hesitated for a moment and took two steps forward. For some reason, she felt as if that man's eyes could see through her inside and out. Even her identity as a dead soldier could be seen through, but she couldn't feel any malice at all. Instead, she could see through those warm and watery words. , making her feel a different kind of warmth.
Jingzhou grabbed a round stool from the side and said to Qingniao: "Put down everything in your hand. It's too tiring to carry it. You have to learn from the little clay figurine. Look at the little clay figurine in her hand." The plate of grapes has already been finished."
Qingniao shook his head, took the cup from Jingzhou's hand, and helped him pour the wine.
Xu Fengnian glanced at Bai Hu'er's face who was engrossed in reading, and felt very itchy in his heart. He wanted to know how high Shan Gui's martial arts was. Bai Hu'er's face was already at the first level, and Shan Gui's strength was even higher than Bai Hu'er's. Could it be that Is this guy a good guy?
But with Shan Gui's temperament, he probably wouldn't be able to find out if he asked. Not to mention the white fox's face, he was even colder than the blue bird, and he paid little attention to him. Even if he wants to say a word to Bai Hu'er Lian, it still depends on the beauty's mood.
Xu Fengnian's mind became active and he immediately came up with a solution. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Shangui, what do you think of the slaves in the Chao Pavilion?"
Jingzhou said calmly: "They are all very old. They are about to be buried."
Xu Fengnian sighed: "These people were once the best in the world. If it weren't for the many treasured secrets hidden in Tingchao Pavilion, even if Xu Xiao led his army to conquer half of the world, they would not have come to the palace to work hard."
Seeing that Jingzhou didn't answer, Xu Fengnian was quite depressed. He originally thought that Jingzhou would say: Chickens and dogs are vulnerable.
After all, that’s what the storytellers in teahouses say. A master must have some master’s style.
