Zhuji Wuci looked at Zhao Qing's calm expression, a smile flashed across his face for a moment, and he said slightly apologetically: "Apprentice, you don't really think that I am such a strict person for my juniors, do you? This matter The weapons are given to you."
He didn't make any movement, but the moment he finished speaking, a sheathed bronze dagger shuttled across the distance of twenty or thirty feet from Zhao's house to the stream. It didn't make any noise or waves, just quietly. Hovering in front of Zhao Qing.
Zhao Qing recognized that this was the sword that Zhu Ji Wu Ci used to gouge out gold particles from the gold cake.
She reached out to take it, and slowly pulled the sword out of its sheath. She saw a cold green light shooting out, flickering on the surface of the sword. When her fingers came close to the sword body, she felt a faint sharp and tingling feeling. It seemed that it was from before. When I saw him, I was shielded by the master.
When receiving spiritual information before, Zhao Qing also became proficient in the Yue language by the way, so she recognized the inscription above: "The king of Yue often made it himself, Hao Cao Zijian is the fifth."
Suddenly, she remembered the sword that she had seen Shen Shendao find from the ancient tomb. It seemed that that sword was one of the "gods" behind him. She didn't know what level of god it was. Thinking about it, it shouldn't be a sword.
The so-called sub-swords are recorded in the "Heavenly Weapon Refining and Qi-Entraining Method" as the auxiliary swords that were born together due to the leakage of yin and yang fortune when the main sword was cast. Their power is much worse than that of the main sword, but most of them It can still be called a magic weapon.
"This is one of the twenty-four swords of the famous Haocao. It was given to King Gou Jian when he came to the throne in the past. Although this sword is small, it is considered to be top-grade among Haocao's swords. It is enough to be used as your sword in the Sixth Form of the Middle School. Qi' is needed for refining Qi before."
Zhu Jiwuci opened his mouth to introduce, and brushed his hand over the edge of the sword, suppressing the sharp aura emanating from the sword.
"As for the magic weapon 'Qingxuan' that will be born in a year and a half, I will also help you fight for it, and I am very sure of it. Of course, apprentice, you have to work harder yourself."
"Don't look at my calm tone and think that I am serious and deep. In fact, this is just because of the need for spiritual practice. I am actually quite happy to communicate with others, and sometimes I will make a joke."
Zhao Qing moved his lips but did not speak. He might as well be more serious when making such a joke.
Zhu Ji Wu Ci did not feel embarrassed. He paused and added:
"For more than ten generations, members of the Zhuji clan have held important positions in Dai Viet. They have a long heritage and strong power. The contemporary Grand Sima Zhuji Ying is my uncle; the prince and Yi are my brothers-in-law."
"Zhao Qing, you are the third disciple I have accepted, and you should also be my last disciple. Your treatment will definitely not be bad. Going back to the Xia and Shang Dynasties, there were women who served as politicians and generals. If you can practice Even if his cultivation strength is comparable to that of an army, he may not be able to be named a doctor or a general, and his name will remain in history."
"King Gou Jian is a very capable and ambitious man. Before he completes his revenge on Wu State, even if he sees people from other countries coming to serve, he will not show distrust because of his distance and status. and looking down.”
"As long as he has the ability and talent, he will 'respect the corporal' and 'appoint appointments based on talent.' I wonder if you have such confidence?"
Zhao Qing blinked his eyes. "Appointment based on talent" is most likely true, but "corporal courtesy" should be forgotten. Wen Zhong died unjustly. "The cunning rabbit dies and the lackeys are cooked; the flying birds disappear and the good bow is hidden." She still understood.
It is said that if Gou Jian kills heroes in the future, his master will not be killed. It sounds like the master does not know Gou Jian's nature. But the two are considered in-laws after all, so there should be no big problem.
Zhu Jiwuci raised his head and glanced at the moonlight in the night sky, then walked towards the Zhao family courtyard, with Zhao Qing following behind him.
"By the way, I haven't introduced your senior brother and second senior brother yet. Senior brother Jiang Chengyu is a descendant of the original Jiang Kingdom. He has just become the Sixth Qi. He is currently working as a retainer in the Prince Lu of the Chu Kingdom and secretly helps him. The king’s daughter, the concubine of the King of Chu, and her son, Prince Zhang of Chu.”
"Second Senior Brother Zhong Wu Boyan is the grandson of the original Zhong Wu Kingdom. He is also a cultivator who has just entered the Sixth Form of the Middle School. Now he is working as an undercover agent in the Yunyang Sect of the Wu Kingdom, collecting information about Wu Kingdom's Jianghu. Over the years, he has become a member of the Yunyang Sect. The second elder of Youyun Hall, the first of the four inner halls."
"As for your master and me, since I resigned as Junior Situ sixteen years ago, I have concealed my identity in six rural villages on the outskirts of the country to conduct investigation work, eliminate unrest factors in the country, and recommend some talents to the current Junior Situ."
"To make good friends with Chu State to the south, to make good friends with Jin State to the west, and to make good friends with Qi State to the north, this is the foreign policy of our Yue State. On the surface, Yiyong, a pedestrian official, sends envoys to communicate, but secretly our people are involved .”
What kind of secret spy organization, the "Jinyiwei" of the Yue Kingdom? Is there an average number of people working underground per capita? I got on the wrong pirate ship.
Zhao Qing couldn't help but secretly curse, his eyes twitching, so what outrageous things will my master send me to do in the future? But why does it feel a little exciting for no reason?
"As for your apprentice. Well, Xiao Zhao Qing, you should wait for five or six more years before you think about it. First, find a more stable place to practice martial arts on your own. I have quotas here for the Kuaiji No. 1 Martial Arts Academy and the Military Sword Ge Camp. , which one do you decide?”
"Let's go to the martial arts academy." Carrying the sword he just got and the dishes he had washed a long time ago, Zhao Qing returned to the courtyard of his home and thought for a while before replying.
By the way, Camp Jiange doesn't sound like a safe place. It can't be one of the death squads! Also, does "practice martial arts by yourself" mean what you imagined?
Seemingly sensing Zhao Qing's thoughts, Zhu Jiwuci cleared his throat and explained:
"Whether it is the land of Wu and Yue or the countries of the Central Plains, most Jianghu sects follow the so-called rule of 'the law is not taught lightly', dividing the skills into three, six or nine grades, and teaching them selectively. There are even some who follow the rules. As the status improves, the disciples constantly change the root method. This is to control the progress of the disciples' practice and ensure the stability of the main lineage status."
"But here, there is no such rule. After everyone gets started, they can get the high-level skills that I have carefully explained. Coupled with the top understanding of you, you don't actually need my special teaching."
This is making excuses to avoid responsibility. Zhao Qing put his hand on his forehead and felt that the master's tall image had been destroyed by him before he could even establish it.
"One more thing. You should have understood your martial arts talent very early, and knew that your future cannot be limited to one village or one township. But the reason why you have not left home to practice martial arts for a long time is because you have to take care of the sick and weak. 's mother's sake."
Zhu Jiwuci said while packing the luggage that he had left at the door.
Zhao Qing nodded. After becoming a disciple, she was thinking about what she should do. Maybe pay some people to take care of her?
"Your mother's internal injuries began with the coagulation of blood clots in the organs, which caused the body to fail. Then she could only lie in bed for a long time, her legs atrophied, and the internal blood vessels and tendons hardened."
"It is estimated that the doctors in the countryside did not fully diagnose it and just taught people to take medicine and rest. But without the medicine from the doctors, your mother would not be able to survive today. Fortunately, although her physical problems are serious, they can actually be cured. .”
"At the end of the information I instilled in you, I attached a medical scripture, which contains a method to cure your mother. As long as you have reached the realm of energy transformation, or have just begun to refine qi, you can start to treat her."
"At that time, you can use the method of energy resonance or inner energy cutting to cleanse your mother's tendons and reshape her lower limb muscles. After that, you can take care of her for half an hour every day for about a month, and she will return to normal. The situation allows you to no longer have any worries.”
"That's all. Your master, I have to leave beforehand. I will leave this little money to you."
Zhao Qing, who had just turned his back to clean up the housework, quickly turned his head, but there was no one left.
Apart from a piece of gold cake that shone slightly in the moonlight on the bamboo chair in front of the door, and a bronze dagger hanging on a rope buckle around his waist, there were no other traces.
