The young man in short shirt who was asked by these words looked at the man in yellow shirt in front of him with some vigilance, thinking that this man was either not smart or had a plan in his heart. He first competed and then taught himself.
"I don't need to worry about how much you want to practice swordsmanship," Lin Manliu said to him as he put Shan Ye Xing into its sheath, and after saying that, he was about to turn around and return to the pavilion.
"Little brother, don't go! You didn't know that during the sword fight just now, you had a spiritual light spurting out from the Tianling Cap. Did you know that? At such a young age, you have strong muscles and bones. You are a rare martial arts talent seen in a century. If One day, if I ask you to open up the Ren and Du Second Meridians, it won't be like flying dragons!" The man in the yellow shirt waved to the boy in the short shirt who turned around and said hurriedly.
The boy in a short shirt paid no attention to these unbelievable remarks.
"As the saying goes: If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell. The task of policing evil and punishing rapes and maintaining the stability of the world will be left to you, okay?" The man in yellow shirt looked at the young man and stared at the black cloth strip behind him. He stamped his feet and said.
Lin Manliu was a little speechless by the statement that he had been entrusted with a heavy responsibility. He finally looked at the man in yellow shirt behind him and nodded expressionlessly, saying "Yeah". If he didn't answer, someone else might pop up later. It doesn't matter if you don't answer any strange words, the more outrageous things will come later.
"This book "Swordsmanship by Lands and Rivers" is a priceless treasure. I think I am destined to you. I will charge you ten cents and teach it to you." The man in yellow shirt said and took out a small booklet from his sleeve. The paper was a little yellow and the pages were a little yellow. The feet have many folds and appear to have been thumbed through frequently.
It turned out that I was here to extort money. Why didn't I meet any gangsters when I entered Hangzhou? Instead, I met such a charlatan. His face looked pretty good. He was probably only a few years older than me. His skills in the competition just now were also better than mine. Why am I a liar who extorts money when I am much taller? However, someone who is so skilled in dressing up must have a plan for acting like this, so let’s take a look.
The young man weighed the money bag in his sleeve and said to the man in yellow in embarrassment: "I am away from home, and the money my family left for me still needs to be enough for the return trip. I have no way to buy this book of Landscape Swordsmanship from you." .
"It doesn't matter! I can hand it over to you first, little brother, and then you can pay it back to me when you have enough spare money in the future," the man in yellow shirt suddenly said with righteousness.
What kind of quackery is this? Lin Manliu secretly wondered if there was a scam in the book, why he had to accept the book himself. While the young man was still calculating in his mind, the caravan steward changed his mind. He walked forward with a flattering smile and said flattering words such as "I'll pay the money". After paying the money with the man in yellow shirt and holding a sword, he took the book "Shan Shui Yang". "Sword Judgment" was handed over to the boy in a short shirt.
"It's getting late today, so I'll take my leave first. If we are lucky, we can have a drink and chat together tomorrow." After the man in yellow shirt took the money, he handed over to everyone and prepared to walk into Hangzhou city.
Lin Manliu took the booklet without reading it. After thanking the steward, he returned to Yue Hanzhi and stared at the cover of the booklet. First, there were four words written squarely on it: "Looking for mountains and rivers". At the end of the four words, there were several very scrawled and messy words "Yangjian Jue".
"Isn't that person just trying to trick me? What kind of martial arts secret book is this?" The boy in a short shirt picked up the edge of the book and murmured while looking at it.
"Open it and take a look. If there is anything wrong, I will tell you. The strength of that person just now should be higher than mine. If he wants to harm you, there is no need to tamper with the book." The woman in blue hat tilted towards the young man. Side said.
So Lin Manliu opened the booklet. The first page should be the introduction and explanation of the book: "The experience of searching for mountains and rivers, traveling thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, observing the sun, moon and stars, seeing mountains, rivers and vegetation, and hearing the singing of orioles." The crane chirps to nourish the sword in the heart."
"It seems to be a method of nourishing the Qi and regulating the breath. This is the difference between the two Fengxue Grand View Tower disciples I told you before and you," Yue Hanzhi said, looking at these words.
"Yeah," the boy in a short shirt responded and prepared to continue turning the pages.
The page he opened read, "Walking in the forest at the beginning of spring, the shadows of the trees flying under the sun, the swallows carrying mud, the orioles fighting for the trees and circling around, it is for the spring scenery." Lin Manliu couldn't understand what this meant and had to say Look at Yue Hanzhi beside you.
"This volume is probably that person's experience in practicing swordsmanship. The opening chapter should explain that at the beginning of practicing swordsmanship, you should be like a flying swallow or oriole in spring. You must not only understand the preciousness and rareness of spring, but also try your best to experience what spring brings. "It feels so peaceful and comfortable," the woman in blue thought.
The young man in a short shirt nodded as if he understood, and then turned to the next page. There were four words written on the top of the page: "Three Pools Reflect the Moon."
The main text is an introduction to this scene: "Designed by Su Zi, when you visit the lake at night in spring, you can see the stone tower standing in the water, floating on the lake, and the moonlight passes through the hole in the tower, reflecting in the lake. Under the moonlight, three of the stone pagodas are reflected in the moonlight, as if there is a moonscape in the lake."
Seeing this, Yue Hanzhi was also a little confused. Is this person going to write about his experience in raising swords, or what he saw and heard when traveling around the mountains and rivers? He didn't know how to explain it to Lin Manliu anymore, so he could only say something in silence for a moment. I can't understand it either.
Upon seeing this, the boy in short shirt closed the book and prepared it. He had time to read it. Even if he had read the whole book, he probably wouldn't be able to read anything. After almost half an hour, everyone in the caravan shouted at the steward. Get ready to go to town.
...
In Hangzhou City, the destination of Lin Manliu and the caravan, more and more people are gathering in front of a mansion. This is a larger mansion in the west of Hangzhou City, but it has been uninhabited all year round. In the past few years, it seems that the mansion has not even been cleaned. The family members of the family have never had it before, but now there are so many guests that they are almost trampling the threshold of the mansion.
A young man was hurriedly greeting guests at the door of the mansion, shouting and cursing, "Ye Laoer has gone somewhere. It's almost the day to open the village. He's been busy running outside the city all day long to wait for the eleventh day." A good apprentice."
After a while, another guest came to visit with an invitation and said to the young man in front of him: "Brother Chongying, Brother Lu is doing well these days."
The people who came were a man and a woman. The woman in white was Huan Yunxia whom Lin Manliu met in the rapeseed field. Chong Ying said quickly: "Aren't these Senior Sister Huan and Senior Brother Mei? Come in quickly, Lu Fengbai." That guy is still taking care of things in the backyard. You can go in and look for him on your own."
Both of them smiled, and the man asked: "I heard that when the village opened, there was a sword competition in the village. Are you lucky enough to compete with Brother Lu?"
Chong Ying looked at this man and suddenly thought of his deeds, and hurriedly said: "The main purpose is to recruit more young talents to work together in the village, and mostly to compete among the young disciples."
"I'm thinking Brother Lu isn't that old, and Brother Ye is in his early twenties, so why can't he be considered a young talent? Or do you think I'm too old and weak after drinking all the wine?" the man joked. said.
Seeing that the young man was speechless and didn't want to talk, Huan Yunxia walked straight in and ignored the man who was embarrassing the young man. The man could only walk up quickly and explain with a smile, and the two of them entered the villa together.
