Wang Suizhen told Changshan the scene he imagined, and Changshan couldn't help but burst into laughter and said: "In the past two years, I have been fighting with others, and the sword is indeed getting faster and faster! I also said that my kung fu has improved. Looking back now, I really have long hands and long legs, and I took advantage of it. It seems that I was a blessing in disguise, hahaha..."
Wang Suizhen laughed along with Changshan for a while, but there was always a knot in his heart, so he asked Changshan: "Brother Changshan, what dreams did you have when you were going through the tribulation of life and death?"
Changshan shook his head: "No, it was just heartbreaking pain, which lasted for two days and two nights, and then it passed. After I recovered, I always felt itchy in the bones of my body. I grew taller and thinner. .”
Wang Suizhen said: "I dreamed about my heart... Huh?"
While he was talking, his hand touched his chest, and suddenly he felt something strange. When he took off his clothes and took a look, he was shocked!
I saw a vertical red scar appearing on my heart!
Wang Suizhen stroked the scar with some disbelief. Judging from the touch, the scar was definitely not painted on. It was as if a long and narrow sword blade had actually pierced through the chest, and then the wound had scabbed and grown back!
When Changshan saw this wound, he was quite surprised and asked, "Have you ever been stabbed in the heart when you were a child? Didn't you die like this?"
Wang Suizhen shook his head and said: "I haven't had this scar on my heart since I can remember, and it wasn't there a few days ago. I just dreamed..."
When Chang Shan heard this, his expression changed, and he opened his mouth to interrupt: "Brother, don't talk about it anymore! The dead wood magic is unpredictable. If your scar is caused by the dead wood magic, you must not tell anyone about it, otherwise The secrets of heaven are revealed, and blessings and misfortunes are hard to tell! There are many magical things about the dead tree, and you will gradually know about it in the future."
Wang Suizhen wrote it down silently and said, "I understand."
Wang Suizhen asked Changshan to look at his back again. Sure enough, there was also a vertical red scar on the center of his back.
Changshan is also amazing.
After passing through the calamity of life and death, in less than three days, Wang Suizhen's body recovered as before!
And it was even better than before. I just felt that my whole body had endless strength. I wished I could climb mountains to catch the moon or go down to the sea to catch stars. I went up and down the mountain more than ten times a day, and still came and went like flying!
I was extremely energetic and stayed up all night without feeling sleepy at all!
Seeing Wang Suizhen's progress, Chang Shan began to formally teach Wang Suizhen's swordsmanship.
How to hold the sword, how to use the sword, how to thrust, how to sheath the sword, how to dodge and move, how to change positions.
Chang Shan has rich experience in fighting with others. He has met countless masters from various sects and sects. In addition to teaching Wang Suizhen the exquisite swordsmanship in his sect one by one, he also explained all the tricks in the martial arts to Wang Suizhen in detail.
One of them taught and the other learned, for three full months, Changshan did not go down the mountain until the first snow fell after the beginning of winter. Changshan only went down the mountain for a month. After returning, Wang Suizhen's sword skills were taught day and night again.
Wang Suizhen practiced hard and hard. Within half a year, his swordsmanship improved greatly. When fighting with Changshan, he began to win and lose!
When the New Year was about to come, Changshan realized with a wry smile that no matter what, he couldn't defeat himself, who was half apprentice and half junior.
As the saying goes, masters are teachers. Whether you can reach a higher realm or reach a higher level does not make it easier as you get older!
Some people, due to their talents, can only be beginners who are just scratching the surface throughout their lives!
This kind of person stops moving forward, but because he is getting older, he puts on the airs of a master, but inside he is just a fool, trying to use his age to deceive the world. As time goes by, he will eventually be exposed and become a fool. The laughingstock of the world.
But some people, at a young age, have a glimpse of the road, and have mastered certain skills to the extreme, entering an unprecedented advanced level!
For example, when writing poetry, Emperor Qianlong was nothing more than a stupid and poor beginner throughout his life.
But at a young age, Li Bai was already famous all over the world, and everyone called him the Immortal of Poetry.
Therefore, sometimes whether a master has mastered the three flavors cannot be judged by his age!
Changshan sometimes wonders, has he lived like a dog all these years?
Changshan could not defeat Wang Suizhen. Knowing that Wang Suizhen had entered the superior realm he had never coveted, he stopped teaching Wang Suizhen swordsmanship. He just let Wang Suizhen realize himself every day. In their free time, the two only talked about anecdotes in the world.
Mochou had made a promise with Changshan that he would return to Yunmeng Mountain at the end of the year.
Wang Suizhen misses his master very much, and Changshan said that now only Mochou can continue to teach him swordsmanship.
Wang Suizhen has learned the true meaning of swordsmanship and feels that he has opened the door to a new world. He practices hard every day like crazy. Deep in his heart, he really hopes that his master will return to the mountain and answer all the questions he has about swordsmanship.
The days passed and it snowed one after another!
Seeing that it is already the twelfth lunar month and the new year is approaching, Master Mochou still cannot return to the mountain!
On this day, it snowed heavily, the mountains were all white, and the long mountain went down.
Changshan went down the mountain first to meet Mochou, and secondly to do some New Year shopping at the foot of the mountain. Changshan was afraid that Mochou would take another route back to the mountain, so in order to avoid Mochou being left unattended after going up the mountain, he asked Wang Suizhen to wait for Master Mochou on the mountain. worry.
Wang Suizhen practiced sword practice every day without slacking off, and his days passed quickly.
After Changshan came down the mountain, there was no news. Wang Suizhen counted the days every day until after New Year's Eve, Changshan never came back, and Master Mochou didn't come back to the mountain either!
Wang Suizhen gradually felt a little anxious!
Could it be that something happened to Master and Chang Shan?
However, the rules of the sect are not to be too impatient or too worried, otherwise there is a risk of going crazy. Wang Suizhen can only suppress the thoughts that are about to move in his heart and continue to practice kung fu diligently every day.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, it was just dawning. Wang Suizhen followed his usual practice and went to the bottom of the mountain to post a picture. Unexpectedly, when he looked down the mountain today, he saw a black spot at the bottom of the mountain, slowly moving up the mountain!
Wang Suizhen was quite pleasantly surprised and thought: Master or Brother Changshan must have come up the mountain, and I must go and greet him.
He dressed up, tied the sword tightly around his waist, and headed towards the black spot.
But as he got closer, Wang Suizhen realized that the person going up the mountain was a strange face. He had never seen this person before. He was neither his master nor Changshan.
Wang Suizhen felt a little depressed and stopped walking down. He stood on the big blue stone and waited for the man to come over.
When he got closer, Wang Suizhen saw clearly that the stranger was a young man in his twenties.
This young man was dressed luxuriously, with a tall figure, bushy eyebrows and big eyes. He looked like a tiger and had a long knife hanging on his waist. However, his face was dusty and dusty, and he was struggling to climb up the mountain.
Wang Suizhen stood on the bluestone and asked: "Who is coming?"
When the young man saw Wang Suizhen, his face showed joy. He knelt down without hesitation and kowtowed, saying, "Little uncle, my nephew Chang Jingyuan salutes you."
Wang Suizhen was taken aback and secretly wondered: "I have a nephew? How come Brother Changshan and Master never told me about it?"
Chang Jingyuan finished his salute, stood up, took out a letter from his arms, presented it to Wang Suizhen with respectful hands, and said: "Little Master, this is a letter from Master Changshan, please have a look at it." . ”
Wang Suizhen saw a graffiti drawn on the envelope handed over. Upon closer inspection, it looked like a dead branch, which was the code for the door. He knew that the letter was probably written by Chang Shan himself.
Opening the envelope, there were only two scrawled words on the letter: Come quickly!
Wang Suizhen had a bad premonition and asked Chang Jingyuan urgently: "Has something happened to Brother Changshan? Where is Master? Has something happened to him too?"
Chang Jingyuan replied: "Little Master, I haven't seen Master! But Master Changshan was seriously injured and said that he has something important to do with you. He is in the town at the foot of the mountain. Please come with him quickly." Nephew, let’s go!”
There was a hint of anxiety in Chang Jingyuan's words.
Wang Suizhen's heart sank with a bang, and he said anxiously: "Let's go, let's talk while walking!"
The two of them went down the mountain one after another, and after arriving at the inn in the small town at the foot of the mountain, Chang Jingyuan paid the money and brought out four horses.
Wang Suizhen thought to himself: This nephew's family is so wealthy!
You should know that for ordinary people, having one horse is enough to make them rich. Chang Jingyuan actually rode four horses at a time. He was so rich!
The two got on the horse. Although Wang Suizhen had only ridden the same horse with his master Mochou when he went up the mountain, after three years of hard training, Wang Suizhen had completely changed. He was no longer the ignorant boy he was when he went up the mountain three years ago!
At this time, he had the ability to master all kinds of magic. He got on the horse and learned how to ride a horse in an instant, just like an old rider who had been riding for more than ten years!
The two of them walked non-stop, changing horses twice on the road, from sunrise to sunrise, and then they arrived in front of a large house in a village.
There were people waiting in front of the house for a long time. When they saw Chang Jingyuan and Wang Suizhen arriving, they hurriedly said to the servant: "Quickly go get the horse!"
When Wang Suizhen got off his horse, a servant took the horse away.
When Chang Jingyuan saw the man, he hurriedly asked: "Father, is Master Changshan okay?"
The man's tone was quite tragic: "It's... not bad, you... are you Brother Wang Suizhen?"
Wang Suizhen looked intently and saw this middle-aged man wearing a large purple robe. He looked quite majestic, but unfortunately he was a paralytic, sitting in a wooden wheelchair.
Wang Suizhen replied: "Yes, I am Wang Suizhen, are you...?"
Chang Jingyuan said hurriedly: "Uncle Junior, this is my father Chang Hao. Father, this is Uncle Junior."
Chang Hao said hurriedly: "Brother Sui Zhen, you are here, alas! Come with me quickly and go see Brother Changshan."
Chang Hao, led by two sturdy servants carrying a chair, walked through the courtyard and opened the door. A strong smell of medicine and blood hit his face.
Wang Suizhen was shocked when he saw the appearance of Changshan.
I saw Chang Shan lying upright, with his head and body like a hedgehog, densely covered with silver needles, and his body and bed were covered in blood!
Wang Suizhen quickly entered the house, and when he got closer, he was even more horrified!
I saw five holes the size of little fingers on Chang Shan's chest and abdomen, and blood was still slowly flowing out.
Changshan heard the noise and slowly opened his eyes. When he saw it was Wang Suizhen, the corner of his mouth moved slightly, revealing an expression that didn't know whether he was crying or laughing!
As soon as Chang Shan opened his eyes, everyone inside and outside the house immediately left. Even Chang Hao went out. Chang Jingyuan even closed the door gently after leaving the house.
