Before the young man could thank him, Suicune, who was sitting on the chair, raised his finger again, and then something floated out from his sleeve. When Yun Zhong took a closer look, he realized that it was a square shape with white letters on a blue background. The sword manual, as for the four white characters on it, was temporarily unreadable. Shuijun pointed, and the sword manual fell firmly into Yun Zhong's palm. It fell lightly and did not touch the injury on the latter's palm. He then said slowly, "The set of sword moves that I demonstrated yesterday, together with the many years of knowledge of kendo All my experiences along the way have been compiled into this sword manual. As for the four characters on the sword manual, they are ancient characters from when Yizhang was an old man before his country was founded. It’s understandable that you don’t recognize the whole picture. Okay. Most of the fonts in the book are today's fonts, which can be seen clearly without looking through ancient books."
Shuijun's Qi was extremely solid at this moment, and his majesty was like a mountain of clouds. Without waiting for the two people in front of him to speak, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and then continued to speak, "Your master is Wu Shuang. I heard that the meaning of the sword is extremely upright, and has a quite aura of freedom. It has always been about opening and closing, and destroying the dead. I don't think this is a bad thing, but there are many swordsmanships, and I need to experience it more. Stones from other mountains can attack jade. , one day I can take up the path of swordsmanship.”
Seeing the old man picking up the tea cup again, Yun Zhong quickly took advantage of the moment to express his thanks with his fists in his hands.
"Thank you for what I have done," Shuijun looked at the young man with low talent in front of him and said with a somewhat cryptic expression, "If you had not endured the water and fire training in the sword furnace, let alone made the blunt sword magical, what would I do if you were like this? The sword manual will not be passed down to the descendants like you no matter what. You have earned it on your own, so there is no need to thank me."
After saying that, the old man turned to look at Liu Qing with a slight expression on his face, "Since you two came here specially, I should have done my best to serve as a landlord, so I might as well leave you two to stay with me for a little longer. By the way, I would like to take a look at the floating river lanterns after two days, and by the way, I would like to talk about what I saw and heard during my practice. Unfortunately, things did not turn out as expected, as there are always all kinds of worldly affairs involved."
Liu Qing's expression moved slightly.
How can one be trapped by worldly affairs when he has set foot in Suijun's realm? According to Liu Qing's opinion, the worldly affairs mentioned by Suijun are indeed somewhat related to the changes in Suijun's demeanor these days. Most likely, he wants to rely on this Wait for variables to break through new levels in extreme situations.
In fact, Liu Qing did not guess wrong. In the past few days, even Wu Zhao, a dull man who had not heard anything outside the window and only focused on blacksmithing, noticed that the old man was acting strangely. Although he could not guess what his master was planning, Wu Zhao He came to the blacksmith shop early as usual, cleaned up the dust in the shop, and then sat quietly aside, waiting for his master.
Not long after arriving at the shop, the old man casually praised the young man for his hard work, and then sat down on his own, crossed his legs, squinted his eyes, and waited for the two brothers to come.
After Wu Zhao settled down the pavement, he thought about sweeping away the rust and debris in the pavement, and then dumped it into the old willow hole next to the ditch, and buried it together in the wilderness outside the town one day. In an hour, the man made three trips back and forth, pouring the ashes, rust and slag into the pit. What made the man suspicious was the water flowing in the canal outside the door. Usually it flowed from west to east, but today it gradually condensed. Live, no longer flowing, like a channel of stagnant water.
The man went out three times, and the water flowed from west to east, then solidified, and finally changed from east to west.
The Qu River flows in reverse direction.
The legs of the old man in the bunk were also lowered unconsciously, his eyes were bright, and he no longer had the slightest trace of leisure.
Having said that, Suijun still gently picked up the clam bead on his sleeve, took out a small stone seal from somewhere, and sent it to Liu Qing's hand through the air, "Although it is a small gadget that I encountered in my early years, it is not a magic weapon. , but it is of some benefit to those who study formations. Putting it in the palm of your hand for three or two days can make the spiritual platform clear and empty, making it more suitable for formation practice."
"After receiving so many benefits from my seniors, I am really a little ashamed," the scholar smiled bitterly. "If I go back to the mountain and my master asks me about it, I will be a little embarrassed to speak. The sword at my waist is indeed necessary, but The younger generation doesn’t need this stone seal too much, so it’s better to keep it with someone who is destined to have it.”
Liu Qing naturally knew that although Suijun said it lightly, the stone seal was clearly a rare item that was no less valuable than a heaven-reaching object. Ten taels of silver were exchanged for such a good sword with Suijun, not to mention that he gave the scabbard as a gift. After getting rid of my junior brother, no matter how unreasonable he is, he also knows how to measure things. It is obviously not appropriate to pick up objects again.
"Since we have met, we are destined to be together," Shuijun ignored the scholar's refusal and said calmly, "There are very few outsiders in Qinshui Town. To put it bluntly, it is just an unknown town on the way to the imperial city. , there are not many pedestrians every time, not to mention that there are only a handful of practitioners. This is fate; I will be in retreat soon, and will probably not appear in the world for several years or even decades. Even if this stone seal is put aside In my hands, it is useless. It is better to give it to the next generation, and just accept it without any worries. If you refuse blindly, you will fall into the routine. After returning to the mountain, you two must remember to practice more, and by the way, let your master Wu Shuang know, if there is something When my path is complete, I will definitely work with him to achieve enlightenment. The current world will change sooner or later, and I need to improve my realm to be more secure."
These words are very similar to the earnest teachings of the old man when the younger generation goes out.
Liu Qing couldn't help but ask, "Senior is retreating this time. Could it be that he wants to try to continue his journey?"
"The mirror separates the inside and the outside, and a butterfly grows two wings. There will always be a time to reunite." Suicune closed his eyes, noncommittal.
The scholar remained silent, just pulled his junior brother and gave him a deep bow.
If it were just a gift of a sword and a seal, it could be regarded as a way to support the younger generation, but the extremely thick sword manual with a blue background and white characters could be regarded as a teaching, teaching, and solving doubts. Including it together in the book can be regarded as a treasure, but it was passed down to Yunzhong in an understatement, which is a great favor.
So this ceremony was a bow to the ground.
"No need to be polite, it's time for me to return home. The days are long and we will see you eventually."
The water flowing in the canal surged from east to west. Instead of looking like a canal, it looked like a mighty river, surging like a torrent.
The old beast jumped into the air, its body was like a dragon, its back was covered with oval armor, its face was like a bear and tiger, it shook its head and tail, and walked away in an instant.
For no apparent reason, a fierce wind blew up in the town, blowing countless fallen leaves and birds into a mess like rain. It took a while to stop.
In front of the young man and the scholar, clouds and mist suddenly appeared, and the old beast disappeared instantly.
"Senior brother, that old senior, could it be that the old beast turned into a human form?" After a while, the clouds dispersed slightly, Yun Zhongcai swallowed his saliva and said uneasily. He had never seen such a formation before. The old beast just now must have been twenty or fifty feet tall? He was at a loss as thick scales flashed past his eyes. Just one scale was much wider than the Wo Niu Shi he saw on the road.
Liu Qing patted Yun Zhong on the shoulder, "Don't be afraid. Although this old man is a strange beast bred by heaven and earth, his state of mind and aspirations are many floors higher than those of many people."
