"Immortal? Immortal weapon? Are there really immortals in this world?" Jin Xinglan said excitedly. People in the world don't believe in the existence of immortals, but they will inevitably be curious about unknown things.
"The owner of this Immortal Luck Stone calls himself an Immortal. He should have lived for many years. However, this old man has no means. His words are not credible..." Huang Xin said with some disgust.
"Boy, I will fight with you!" Huang Ji said angrily from within the Immortal Luck Stone, but Huang Xin ignored him.
Jin Xinglan smiled awkwardly and said nothing.
"Okay, I'm almost at my limit. Now that the matter has been decided, you can start teaching Feng Xiao swordsmanship from tomorrow."
Jin Xinglan yawned and said, "No problem, it's getting late. My body is really struggling now..." Then he reached out and picked up the Immortal Luck Stone and walked towards the ruined temple.
There was no talking all night, everyone took a rest.
The next morning, Feng Xiao woke up from his sleep. He rubbed his head and looked a little confused. He recalled the conversation with Huang Xin at night, not sure if it was a dream.
Feng Xiao reached out and touched his arms. The stone disappeared. He was shocked and immediately looked around.
The beggars didn't have anything to do, so they naturally slept for a longer time. Many of the beggars were still snoring at this time.
When Feng Xiao glanced at Jin Xinglan, Jin Xinglan was also looking at him.
Jin Xinglan smiled and said: "Don't look for it, it's here with me..."
Feng Xiao found that Jin Xinglan's face had improved a lot. He naturally knew that the stone Jin Xinglan was talking about, and his hanging heart relaxed. Thinking of Huang Xin's words and seeing Jin Xinglan's performance now, he immediately confirmed everything that happened during the night. It's not a dream.
"Senior, do you want to teach me swordsmanship?" Feng Xiao asked excitedly.
Jin Xinglan nodded, then stood up and walked out. As he walked, he said: "Let's go, this is not a place to practice swordsmanship. I saw you have good aptitude so I taught you a few moves yesterday. I didn't expect you and I to have such a fate."
Feng Xiao was ecstatic, picked up his wooden sword and chased after him.
The two came to the depths of the woods outside the city. After a brief conversation, Feng Xiao officially became Jin Xinglan's apprentice. Huang Xin also jumped out and wanted to teach Feng Xiao various methods so that he could better deal with possible dangers in the future.
Two masters wanted to teach him how to practice. With such an opportunity, Feng Xiao would not refuse. The happiness came so suddenly, and he felt that everything was unreal.
In the next three days, Feng Xiao practiced swordsmanship with Jin Xinglan during the day, and was tortured by Huang Xin at night. Not only that, Feng Xiao also had to go to the woods to find food for the two of them. They were a beggar and a poor boy, so naturally they were I don’t have money to go to the city to buy food.
As the saying goes, it is pain and happiness. Although Feng Xiao has suffered a lot in these three days, his strength has also improved significantly. Although he has not broken through the initial level, he is not far away from entering the entry level. His qualifications are purely superior. Such a child actually did not take the Xinghe Sect's assessment at the age of seven. Huang Xin could be regarded as picking up a piece of rough jade covered with dust.
Three days later, Jin Xinglan and Feng Xiao set off towards Youzhou.
Feng Xiao has been busy in the woods these days. His clothes are in tatters and his whole body is dirty. He and Jin Xinglan walk together, looking like two beggars.
The two of them had no choice but to walk all the way. Although they kept walking, the speed was not fast. It was not until three days later that they arrived at Jiayou Pass in the southernmost part of Linyou City.
South of Jiayou Pass is a large dense forest called Tiangang Forest. It is said that the entire forest looks like a huge wine glass from the sky, but only saints or people with bird mounts can see such a scene.
This is the junction of the four states of Youzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Yingzhou. It is not the territory of any force, so the interior of the forest is very complicated, and spies and scouts from all sides are hiding in it. Because there is no one under jurisdiction here, bandits in the forest Rampant, countless forces, big and small, are entrenched here, and it goes without saying that they are dangerous.
Jiayou Pass is the gateway to Yingzhou. Taichu stationed 50,000 elite troops here. However, at this time, these troops that originally belonged to Taichu had changed their banners and joined the new Han army. After the battle at Yinmaguan, there were almost no troops in Yingzhou. Too much resistance.
Jin Xinglan and Feng Xiao were not hindered when they entered Jiayou Pass, but the soldiers guarding the city gate naturally didn't have a good look on the two beggars, and they inevitably made some sarcastic remarks.
Walking on the street of Jiayou Pass, Jin Xinglan whispered to Feng Xiao: "Agua, this is already the boundary of Jiayou Pass, and beyond the pass is the Tianhu Forest. It is definitely full of dangers. You and I must be careful and don't stir up trouble!"
While practicing a few days ago, Feng Xiao let slip that his nickname, Agua, was also known to Jin Xinglan and Huang Xin.
With Huang Xin's character, he was naturally ridiculed. After that, Agua became the nickname for him by Feng Xiao and his two masters.
Feng Xiao had no choice but to accept it.
"Master, don't worry. Before practicing swordsmanship, I really liked to fight everywhere. The past few days of practice have made me realize that I was just a frog in the well. I will naturally keep a low profile and concentrate on training in the future!" Feng Xiao said seriously.
Jin Xinglan smiled with satisfaction and said: "You have great talent. Although you started a little late, as long as you work hard, you will achieve something soon!"
Feng Xiao nodded firmly. After several days of hard training, his temperament had become much calmer.
"Huang Xin, we are old, young, and crippled. It is not an exaggeration to call us old, weak, sick and disabled. Jiayou Pass does not check the exit, but there are dangers in Tianhu Forest."
"Agua's strength alone may cause big problems. Why don't we stay in Jiayou Pass for a while and wait until Agua's strength improves before we make plans?"
Jin Xinglan patted her chest. The one lying on the Immortal Luck Stone had a worried look on his face.
"No, you two look worse than real beggars now. Real masters don't bother to make things difficult for you."
"I have been training this kid Agua for a few days. He has also learned a little bit about my methods, and with me taking charge, we are naturally at home in the Tianhu Forest, and it is no problem to deal with the ordinary gangsters!" Huang Xin's voice came out. Under Huang Xin's control, only Jin Xinglan could hear this voice.
The corner of Jin Xinglan's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly: "You are taking too much risk... If we encounter some cruel masters, even if you teach Agua some tricks, it will be difficult for us to escape!"
"Don't worry. Although this old guy Huang Ji is mediocre in his methods and clumsy in speech, his Immortal Luck Stone is absolutely extraordinary. With the blessing of this thing's luck, there will be no problems. This is the treasure of my supreme master, old man. Having so many good things is almost all thanks to this thing!”
When Huang Xin talked about Huang Ji, Huang Ji cursed loudly in the Immortal Luck Stone, but only Huang Xin could hear the words, but Huang Xin ignored him, and the old man became tired of scolding and became bored.
Jin Xinglan was shocked when he heard this and said: "Feng Yuchen, the swordsman with many treasures! It turns out that senior Feng's incredible luck is due to this piece of jade." His expression suddenly relaxed a lot.
"Feng Xiao met you after he got the Immortal Luck Stone. It's definitely the effect of this stone."
When Jin Xinglan heard what Huang Xin said, she immediately took out the Immortal Luck Stone from her arms and gave it to Feng Xiao.
"Master, just take it. With the Immortal Luck Stone in hand, your injuries may be able to recover quickly. There is no use leaving it here..." Feng Xiao quickly declined.
At this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd in front, and then there was a sound of a horse neighing, and a tall, snow-white horse jumped over the crowd and rushed towards Jin Xinglan.
"Master, be careful!" Feng Xiao was shocked. He ignored the Immortal Luck Stone and pushed Jin Xinglan aside in a flash.
When the white horse rushed past, the two of them narrowly escaped.
Feng Xiao just wanted to get angry, but Jin Xinglan stopped him. He could only watch the white horse leave fiercely.
The white horse had just run a few steps when the man on the horse reined in Jin's horse and stopped. He controlled the white horse to turn around and looked down at Jin Xinglan and Feng Xiao.
This is a young man, about ten years old. He is very handsome. He is dressed in luxurious black clothes, with a long sword inlaid with many gems on his back, and a snow-white horse, which makes him even more attractive. Somewhat heroic.
But his expression was arrogant and arrogant.
"Young beggar, you are very skilled. Are you a martial artist?" The young man sneered.
Feng Xiao ignored the young man. Only then did he remember that the Immortal Luck Stone had just fallen to the ground. He looked around and finally saw the Immortal Luck Stone lying on the ground not far away.
At this moment, the young man was looking at Feng Xiao, and Feng Xiao's actions naturally attracted the young man's attention.
"How could you value a piece of broken stone so much? A beggar is a beggar!" The young man's tone became even more disdainful.
Feng Xiao still ignored the young man and quickly picked up the Immortal Luck Stone.
"Agua, let's go!" Jin Xinglan pushed Feng Xiao on the back and left.
"You two stinky beggars! I am asking you a question! Do you think my words are deaf to you?" The young man said angrily when he saw the two of them were about to leave.
At this time, nearby passers-by had formed a circle to watch the excitement.
Jin Xinglan and the other two remained unmoved and continued to move forward.
"Stop them two!" The young man shouted, and four cavalrymen immediately stopped in front of them.
The four cavalrymen did not say a word, but the leader made a gesture to invite them back.
"Master, what should I do?" Feng Xiao asked anxiously.
"Dispose of them as soon as you see them!" Jin Xinglan looked calm. Based on his past, the scene in front of him was just a small scene not worth mentioning.
Jin Xinglan turned around and clasped her fists at the young man and said, "I wonder why this young master stopped me and my son?"
They had already agreed that Jin Xinglan and Feng Xiao should be regarded as father and son.
"Father and son, I heard him call you master just now, and now you are father and son again? If you hide your identity like this, I wonder if you are spies or remnants of Taichu!" Although the young man's voice is still very childish, his tone is old-fashioned.
At the critical moment, Feng Xiao let something slip, but the young man heard it.
"Come here, arrest these two suspicious guys and let my father interrogate them!" the young man said loudly, and then he said with a proud smile: "I might as well tell you that my father is Gao Sheng, the guard of Jiayou Pass. You will be in bad luck if Fan is in the hands of me, Gao Qi!"
"It turns out that he is the son of General Gao. How disrespectful! We are indeed not biological father and son. We just lived on the streets together. This son first worshiped me as his disciple. Later, in order to take care of each other, the two of us became a father and son of the opposite sex. This is how we got together. Just a misunderstanding!”
Jin Xinglan's explanation was neither humble nor overbearing, and even the arrogant young man Gao Qi was a little surprised.
Gao Qi thought for a while and then said coldly: "How can ordinary beggars talk like this and say that you are not spies? What was in the stone that the boy picked up just now? Is it a secret report from my Jiayou Pass!"
"This is just an ordinary stone, there is nothing inside!" Feng Xiao said while suppressing his anger.
