Time flies by, and the beginning of autumn is approaching. Gu Xifeng is working hard with Uncle Sun as usual. At this time, Gu Xifeng does not feel the coolness of the approaching autumn. He carries a huge stone slab on his back and runs forward with all his strength, sweating already. All clothes were wet.
After several months of training day and night, and consuming supplementary food that Uncle Lu carefully cooked for him every day to improve his qi and blood, Gu Xifeng had already reached the threshold of the second tempering realm, and was only just one step away from it.
"Uncle Sun, let's take a rest. Even the tortoise carrying the stele should be exhausted!" Gu Xifeng gradually stopped and begged Sun Zheping while panting heavily.
"That's called 豑屃, and all your knowledge has been wasted? Your pace is still very steady. You can't lie down and run another ten miles." Sun Zheping glared at him, but did not agree to rest, and continued to urge him forward behind him.
Gu Xifeng made a big face in front of Sun Zheping and continued to run forward.
After finishing the exercise, Gu Xifeng returned home, changed out of his soaked clothes, had a delicious lunch carefully prepared by Uncle Lu, and was about to take a good rest.
"Xifeng, come out, something's happened!" Uncle Lu shouted from the yard.
"Come on, come on, can't you take a good rest? I'm still a child..." Gu Xifeng muttered as he walked out. Fortunately, Uncle Sun didn't hear what was said behind him, otherwise he would have been taught a lesson.
When he came to the yard, Gu Xifeng had already put away his casual look and saw two weapons, a knife and a sword, stuck on the ground in front of the two uncles.
"Xifeng, you have been practicing for some time, and your external skills have reached the threshold of the second level. It's time to teach you a way to fight the enemy."
"Your Uncle Sun and I, one uses a knife and the other uses a sword. We are both skilled in our respective fields. Let's try which one is more suitable for you, the knife or the sword. Then you can practice whichever one is more suitable for you later." Uncle Lu swiped upwards, and the two weapons flew at the same time. When he got up, Uncle Lu caught him firmly and handed it to Gu Xifeng.
Gu Xifeng took the two weapons and looked them up and down.
"It's all unsharpened." He looked a little dissatisfied.
"Why, you haven't learned two magic weapons? Can you show us a self-destruction sword technique or a self-mutilation sword technique?" Uncle Sun said and was about to step forward to teach Gu Xifeng a lesson, but Uncle Lu held him back.
"I'm just saying, don't take it seriously. Uncle Lu, can't we practice swordsmanship together?" Gu Xifeng smiled and looked at Uncle Lu again.
"You can't bite off more than you can chew, Xifeng. First try which weapon you have the talent to learn. If you have time in the future and you still want to learn it, I can teach you a weapon skill at any time." Uncle Lu was still as usual. so easy.
Then, the two uncles taught the basic sword skills of knives and swords respectively, allowing Gu Xifeng to practice on his own.
After three days of hard training, the three of them came to the courtyard again to check the results of their training.
Gu Xifeng first practiced sword skills and then sword skills. Even an ordinary person could see that the movements were not very smooth and even a little awkward.
"Hmm... It seems that Xifeng's sword talent is not very good..." Uncle Lu pondered for a moment and said slowly.
"Old Lu, ok, don't give this guy credit, he is simply very poor, not even a mid-level qualification..." Uncle Sun interrupted Uncle Lu and looked at Gu Xifeng with helpless eyes.
"Xifeng, it doesn't matter. If you can't practice swordsmanship, let's practice something else. Different paths lead to the same goal. We just change the path."
"Let's do this. Let's teach you boxing and kicking skills first. Boxing and kicking skills are good, but they are not suitable for fighting on the battlefield. Let's practice and see and find a path that suits you." Uncle Lu's tone was gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting Gu Xifeng. of self-esteem.
"Old Lu, don't be so cautious, this guy is very thick-skinned." Uncle Sun stepped forward and rubbed Gu Xifeng's head. "Boy, since your talent is not good, you have to practice hard!"
"Uncle Lu, Uncle Sun, don't worry, I will definitely work harder. I won't eat today, so hurry up and teach me how to box." Gu Xifeng grinned and looked like he was about to box.
"What can you do if you don't eat? I'm going to make a big supplement for you right now. The harder you work, the more supplements you have to make. If your body is overdrawn and your body is damaged, it will be too late to regret it!" Uncle Lu said seriously.
The two uncles patiently taught Gu Xifeng some boxing and kicking skills.
After the two left, Gu Xifeng stopped moving, and his originally excited face became depressed.
Because this time he is not hiding, his sword talent is really not good...
Pause for a moment, take a deep breath, and start practicing again.
Just when Gu Xifeng was practicing vigorously, he heard a rapid knock on the door.
Gu Xifeng hurriedly pulled back and opened the door. A panting man stood outside the door, it was Er Zhuang.
"Er Zhuang, what happened, you are so anxious?" Gu Xifeng asked in confusion.
"Tao... Taozi, someone is going to take him away!" Erzhuang said hurriedly before his breath was stable.
"what happened?"
"Two days ago, an immortal master from the Xinghe Sect came to the Taozi family on a crane. Many villagers saw it. It is said that Taozi's father and the immortal master are old friends and specially invited the immortal master to come to the home to check Taozi's cultivation qualifications."
"I just passed by Taozi's house and overheard that Master Xian was about to take Taozi back to Xinghe Sect to practice. Let's leave quickly. If we don't go, we won't see Taozi anymore!" Erzhuang quickly explained the reason for the matter. Gu Xifeng could I swear, I have never heard Er Zhuang speak so fast in my life.
As soon as Er Zhuang finished speaking, Gu Xifeng rushed out like an arrow from a string.
"Xiao Feng, wait for me, wait for me!" Upon seeing this, Er Zhuang also chased after him with all his strength. After several months of training, Gu Xifeng's speed had far surpassed Er Zhuang's, and he disappeared in an instant.
When Gu Xifeng rushed to Taozi's house, it was too late. He saw a huge crane carrying two figures flying into the sky.
"Taozi, Taozi!" Gu Xifeng shouted desperately, regardless of the strange looks from Taozi's family.
Seeing that the crane continued to fly high into the sky without stopping, Gu Xifeng mustered up all his strength and shouted: "Taozi! Wait for me, I will definitely go to Xinghe Sect to find you! I promise!"
I don’t know whether she heard the call below or felt it in her heart. On the back of the crane, a cute girl turned back and looked down, with a face full of reluctance, but the scenery below was completely blurred.
When Er Zhuang chased Tao Zi's house, not even the shadow of the crane could be seen. Tao Zi's family ignored them and went home and closed the door.
"Xiao... Xiaofeng, how... how are you, have you caught up?" Before he could calm down, Erzhuang hurriedly asked Gu Xifeng.
"No, the crane had already flown far away when I arrived." Gu Xifeng looked disappointed.
"Tao Zi will no longer be in the same world as us, will we ever see her again?" Er Zhuang was also very sad, seeming to be asking Xifeng but also mumbling to himself.
"I will definitely see her. I will go to Xinghe Sect to find her!" Gu Xifeng said firmly.
"I want to go too..." Erzhuang pouted, showing an aggrieved look that was completely inconsistent with his body shape.
"It all depends on people! Er Zhuang, think about it. If you don't want to spend your life here in an ordinary way, I will think of a way for you!" Gu Xifeng patted Er Zhuang on the shoulder and gave some advice.
"I don't want to be ordinary!" Er Zhuang gave the answer almost instantly.
From then on, Gu Xifeng had a tall young man around him when he was practicing.
