The long sword in Liu Ruyan's hand drew several sword shadows in the air, chopped up a large piece of falling leaves, pierced several tits flying past her eyes, turned over and landed on the ground, stood firmly on the horse post, and turned her hand He picked up a sword flower and sheathed the sword.
He stood there, holding his breath for a moment, then turned around and returned to the thatched pavilion, walked to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, and had a meal together when the master came back from work. With this in his mind, he stretched out his hand to open the bamboo window, stuck his head out and looked at the master in the vegetable garden. He was about to call the master back for breakfast, but turned around and saw the master holding a bamboo basket and a small hoe on his shoulder. He was already floating in the air. Standing at the door and looking at him with a smile.
Under the sunlight, the tall figure of "Nanshan layman" Chu Feiyun looks even more majestic, exuding a kind of solemnity without anger and self-power. His long beard and hair are fluttering in the mountain wind, and they bear some unspeakable vicissitudes! "Master, my disciple has prepared breakfast, let's eat!" Liu Ruyan said with a smile.
I saw Layman Nanshan put down the thing in his hand, the smile on his face disappeared, and he walked straight into the inner bedroom without saying anything, and gently closed the door.
Liu Ruyan was wondering: During the recent period, the master often frowned, looked sad, and looked worried. Master, what's wrong with this old man? Maybe he really encountered something troublesome.
He put the warm breakfast on the table, sighed, and knocked on the master's door: "Master, I see that you have been unhappy recently. Is there anything on your mind?" He paused and then continued. "Did the disciple do something wrong to make the master angry? If so, the master should punish the disciple. As long as it can make the master happy, the disciple is willing to accept any punishment." Liu Ruyan stood in front of the door, feeling seventy in his heart. Up and down, feeling uneasy. Ever since his master taught him Liuyun Sword Technique, his temperament has become more and more uncertain, making him really unpredictable.
After a while, the master's voice came from inside: "Yan'er, I've been feeling a little unwell recently. I don't want to eat right now. You can just leave it there and eat first!" After saying that, a long sigh came from the room.
When Liu Ruyan heard this, she couldn't help being surprised. She hadn't seen her master showing any discomfort in the past few days. Could it be that the master was suddenly ill? Or are you hiding something from me? He must find out the truth from his master and untie the knot in his heart. While thinking about it, he started eating by himself.
At this moment, Master Nanshan opened the door and said, "Yan'er, you have been following the master for eighteen years, right?" He walked to the table with a smile and sat down slowly.
Liu Ruyan looked at the master with some hesitation: "Yes, master, thank you for taking in the apprentice eighteen years ago, working hard to raise the apprentice, and not hesitate to teach the apprentice martial arts. The master is the apprentice's Reborn parents." As he said this, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, as if tears were about to burst out of his eyes.
After hearing what the master said, all the past events suddenly came to mind, and I couldn't help but feel a sore nose and look sad. Chu Feiyun, a layman from Nanshan, laughed, looked at Liu Ruyan lovingly, and sighed: "Yes, eighteen years have passed. Time flies so fast. It will be eighteen years in a blink of an eye." !" He couldn't help but express some emotions, his old and turbid eyes flickered, seeming to have deep meaning. Liu Ruyan noticed that the master had a slightly worried look, as if he had something to tell him.
Chu Yunfei, a layman from Nanshan, stood up and walked slowly to the window, twirling his gray beard, looking at the distant peaks with twinkling eyes, and said quietly: "Yan'er, you have grown up and have learned good martial arts! So... Over the years, you have studied and practiced diligently every day, and you have finally lived up to your hard work as a teacher!" After saying that, he let out a long sigh, with a look of sadness and melancholy in his eyes.
"Master, I dare not forget your kindness in raising me up! If there was no master to take in my apprentice, I am afraid that my apprentice would have passed away long ago." He bowed slightly and faced the Nanshan layman. He just frowned, with doubts on his face, paused, and said quietly: "Master, I have doubts about something, and I hope the master will make it clear!" He raised his head and looked at the master quietly.
"Oh, what do you want to ask?" Nanshan layman was shocked and said with a smile.
"Master, my disciple has seen that you often sigh and are worried recently. Has something happened? Can you tell me? Can you help me share your worries?"
"Yan'er, you have finally grown up and know how to relieve your teacher's worries. If..." As he said that, he suddenly stopped, and the sadness on his face became even worse. He just shook his head slowly, "Oh, it's okay not to mention it! It's okay not to mention it!"
"What if it is?" Liu Ruyan said quickly: "Master, I see you depressed all day long. I feel very sad in my heart, but I don't know why? I don't know how to make the master happy."
Nanshan layman raised his eyebrows and suddenly laughed. His smile really made Liu Ruyan stunned. He was so stunned that Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure out what he was talking about.
"Master, why are you laughing?" Liu Ruyan was confused.
"Master, I am very pleased to see that you are filial and sensible," he said, walking to Liu Ruyan's side again, reaching out and stroking his head. When Liu Ruyan saw her master being so close to her, she couldn't help but feel a tremor in her heart, feeling a little flattered. This is the kind of closeness that master and disciple have not had for a long time. He has followed his master to the mountains to learn skills since he was a child. Over the past twenty years, he has spent time with his master day and night, and has developed a deep relationship. In his heart, he has long regarded his master as his reincarnated father.
Nanshan layman said quietly: "Master, I want to ask you a question?" He stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, and the sun was shining brightly outside the window. Occasionally a few tits chirped and fluttered by. Maybe, only birds will have no worries!
Liu Ruyan raised her eyebrows slightly, nodded slightly and said, "Master, please speak!"
"You have been learning Liuyun Sword Technique for half a month. Can you understand the essence of each sword move? Tell me about your understanding of this sword technique." He turned to look at Liu Ruyan, his eyes flowing. The resolute light seemed to carry a burning flame. Awe-inspiring!
"When my disciple first learned swordsmanship, he always felt it was stiff and difficult and could not fully understand the subtleties of the sword moves. That day in Zixia Valley, the master demonstrated the nine chapters and thirteen moves of Liuyun Sword Technique to his disciple. It was really impressive to him. It's an eye-opener for me. I know every move by heart."
Nanshan layman nodded, stroking his beard with his hand and said slowly: "Liuyun Sword Technique is a unique method of attacking that has been created by combining the strengths of several known great sword sects in the world over the past decades. To defend, to defend is to attack, and to attack and defend at the same time. The whole set of swordsmanship is mainly elegant and agile, supplemented by sharp and spicy. It is said that softness overcomes hardness, hardness becomes softness, hardness and softness are combined, and the wound is invisible and invisible. Only Only when you practice the sword and man as one, and the sword follows your will, can you be invincible." His eyes suddenly changed from soft to strong. A force that represents majesty and is so sharp that people dare not approach it.
Liu Ruyan listened carefully to the master's teachings. He frowned thoughtfully. He nodded and said: "Disciple will follow the master's teachings and practice diligently, and strive to master Liuyun Sword Technique before the master's birthday. Let's take this as a gift to congratulate the master on his birthday!"
"Then do you know why Master agreed to teach you the exquisite Liuyun Sword Technique?" A loving expression appeared on his face again.
"This..." Liu Ruyan didn't know how to answer for a moment. This was exactly what he wanted to ask the master, but he was afraid that the master would laugh and blame him, so he couldn't ask the question. The master didn't mention anything about Liuyun Sword Technique before, but unexpectedly, one day half a month ago, he suddenly said that he would teach me his most conceited skill in life. The master's sudden change was beyond his comprehension.
"My disciple is really stupid, why should I ask the master to give me a clear explanation?"
"You are my only close disciple, but this set of swordsmanship is only suitable for men to practice, so Hua'er has no chance of this set of swordsmanship." He paused, and then continued: "After being my master for a hundred years, only Only then can you inherit the mantle of my master. I have traveled all over the world in my life, but I have no children. Alas, this is my biggest regret." As he said this, he couldn't help but feel sad.
"Master, don't be sad. Be careful of hurting your body." He comforted the master: "Master treats his apprentice like his own son. The apprentice will definitely serve the master well in the future."
When Nanshan layman was ten years old, he followed his father to travel in the world. His father settled him in the Shaolin Temple and allowed him to become a disciple of Master Chen. Although he was a bit lazy, he often sneaked out to catch birds and snakes during his master's lunch break. He even went to bathe in rivers and ponds, sneaked down the mountain to go to the market, set up stalls on the streets, shouted, played with knives and sticks, and showed off his skills. With just two silver coins, he went to buy wine and meat to eat and drink. After being discovered by his master, he was often punished by him, but even so, he still learned higher martial arts than his fellow disciples. Even Master Liao Chen sincerely praised him, saying that he was a rare martial arts genius. As long as you practice hard and given time, it will be a matter of time before you become famous in the world.
