The Jianghu of Sword and Dao

Chapter 7
After a while, the two came out from the house, the old man had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and the young man was with him.

The young man held a jar of wine in his left hand and picked up some fresh fruit.

He squatted on the snow and drew a few sword moves on the ground with his hands.He put the wine and fruit basket on the ground again, propped his cheeks, and kept drawing one style after another with his fingers.

The old man also kept looking at the young man, with a look in his eyes that he had never seen before.Half of kindness, and half of a little bit of reluctance.

The two wanted to go forward to tell the old senior what they thought, but in front of this scene, their legs stopped.The two had no choice but to wait silently for the old man's response.

When the cold wind was blowing, the boy suddenly said, "Master, why don't you dance your sword in the snow today?"

The boy spoke in an extremely flat tone.

Hearing these words, the old man walked towards the bamboo forest ahead.He walked up to a thin bamboo tree, stretched out his right hand, and ruthlessly tore off a small bamboo stick.

The bamboo stick was held in the hand of the old man, and he incorporated some sword moves, and viciously swept the snow under his feet round and round, which were exactly the sword moves that the young man kept drawing on the snow.

He walked towards the boy again, then slowly released his hand, and handed the bamboo stick to the boy.

He said meaningfully: "No matter how you wield the bamboo sword, it's just a stick in the stove.

Even the best iron sword will become rusty, and people will look beautiful in the mirror, with white temples wrinkled.A sharp sword, after all, has to be sharpened by yourself. "

Hearing these words, Li Hanye could no longer suppress the emotion in his heart.

Because he knew very well that his master had said the same thing to him before he left Shen Jianshan and walked the world with his sword alone that year.

"Old senior, don't you want to drive this little brother away? But he is still young, not yet..." Speaking of this, Li Hanye stopped abruptly, unable to say what was in his heart.

The young man seemed to have known about this for a long time, he didn't say a word, he just stood up, looked at the old man, and then set his sights on Li Hanye.

"In the past two years, the old man knows that his time has come. Feng'er is still young, and it is still not an option to follow my old bone. He has his own way to go." The old man's words contained infinite reluctance .

"Master, there is no need for Feng'er, Feng'er is willing to stay with Master all the time." The young man hurriedly said.

"Master has raised you for so many years, how could he not know what you think? You have grown up, so you are naturally not like a doll. Didn't you often tell Master that you want to go for a walk in that river and lake?"

Li Hanye looked at the young man, his tight eyes relaxed from the firm expression of the young man.

"master."

"Feng'er, I know your filial piety as a teacher. As a teacher, it is also for your own good." The old man also said firmly.

Li Hanye and Wang Musheng could see the determination of the old man, but the words of persuasion were so difficult to come out of their mouths.

The young man picked up the bamboo stick in his hand and stuck it in the snow. He looked at the old man with so many years of affection in his eyes?

He is reluctant to leave his master who has raised him for 17 years, and he is reluctant to leave this snow-capped mountain.But his heart is also longing for the outside world, the rivers and lakes, isn't this an opportunity?
He waited for this day to come.But he didn't want to wait for that day to come.

He turned and left, heading into the house.Wang Musheng watched the young man walk by him, and couldn't help the meaning of the parting between master and apprentice.

The sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes are chivalrous and tender.How could he not know the relationship between master and apprentice?

"Senior, you are too cruel to do this, you can still live in this paradise for two more years, you are still alive, why do you want to drive it away at this moment?" Li Hanye asked hastily.

The old man sighed and replied: "Let me ask you, you have been studying in Shenjian Villa since you were young, when did you come into contact with martial arts? When did you walk in the rivers and lakes?"

"Senior, I have been brought to Shenjian Mountain Villa by my master since I was a child. As far as I can remember, I have followed my master to walk in various schools of martial arts. .” Li Hanye replied affirmatively.

"Well. Then, what is the head of the king like?" the old man asked again.

"My father also taught me martial arts since I was a child, and this school has been established in the Jianghu for a long time, so it is inevitable that I have dealt with people in the martial arts since I was a child." Wang Musheng also responded.

"That's right, one of you was born in Lingxiao Sect and the other was born in Shenjian Villa. Both of you are Taishan Beidou in the Jianghu. Naturally, the two of you have seen what the Jianghu is like since childhood. There are hundreds of martial arts schools. Thousands, even if it is an inconspicuous little sect in the rivers and lakes, it is indispensable to walk in the rivers and lakes."

"Senior is right. As a martial artist, this is inevitable." Wang Musheng said.

"Well, but Feng'er, he has been with me in the depths of Changbai Mountain since he was a child, and it has been 17 years. In the past 17 years, the two of us have never been together except to go to the local small village to add clothes and food. I have been out of Changbai Mountain." The old man responded.

"Senior, this is really cruel to him." Li Hanye said to the old man.

"Cold Leaf."

"Master Wang, what he said is not wrong, but Feng'er's character is like this, and I have suggested to him many times that he can go to the outside world for a while, why doesn't he want to go?
"But he is always for the sake of old age. This child must have been struggling in his heart all these years, and he has always refused to leave Changbai Mountain for half a step."

"Every time I talk to him about this, he doesn't respond positively. He just warms up good wine for me as usual, and lets me eat the good rice. And he is holding the sharpened bamboo sword, He ran to the mountain alone and practiced the sword technique I taught him." When the old man said this, a few more tears came out of his eyes.

Even though this old man has lived in seclusion now, he is a worldly master passed down by the people of Jianghu, but he cannot escape the friendship of the world after all, Jianghu has this side!All the time is filled with inseparable feelings.

"Now it's time for him to go outside, but this child is delicate and doesn't like to talk too much with others. Let him go to the rivers and lakes alone, so the old man is not worried." The old man said with emotion.

"Senior, I know what you mean by driving him away today, and you want him to follow me so that we can settle down in the rivers and lakes.

"Senior, you can let him come to my sect. I would like to swear by the head of Lingxiao that I will take good care of him in this life. This way, senior, you can rest assured."

Wang Musheng's words were completely unreserved.

"It would be great if this is the case, but what I'm afraid of is... I don't know if the child is willing." The old man said worriedly.

Seeing this situation, Li Hanye said again: "Senior, Mu Sheng and I will naturally talk to him, but whether the little brother is willing, we can't force it."

"Well, you are right." The old man responded.

"Senior, Han Ye and I want to explain something to you." Wang Musheng said with the Heart Sutra in his hand.

"Oh? You two, have you read the contents of the Heart Sutra?"

"That's right, the profound meaning of martial arts in this Heart Sutra is indeed so high that the two of us have never seen it before, and the martial arts in it are indeed extremely powerful.

"The two of us have also seen your skill, but we no longer need to be greedy for such superior martial arts. It's not that we despise the Heart Sutra, but it's just that no matter how powerful martial arts are in front of the two of us now, It has become less important." Li Hanye said seriously.

Seeing this, Wang Musheng also said: "Senior, why don't you and I keep this Heart Sutra for you, I believe there will be a day when this Heart Sutra will find someone to inherit it. Senior, you can rest assured."

The old man was very happy when he heard the two of them say this, because he knew that since ancient times, no one in the Jianghu would not be indifferent to the peerless martial arts, and all the people in the Jianghu would try their best to fight for it.

How many people have made the city full of wind and rain because of those martial arts secret books, and now the two of them can feel relieved, they are indeed not ordinary people, and they can't be more relieved to entrust the Heart Sutra to the two of them.

"Well, the two of you can see it so clearly, and I am very relieved. The Heart Sutra is in the hands of the two of you. I believe that one day it will appear correctly in the rivers and lakes." The old man said again said laughingly.

"Senior, we both understand." Wang Musheng said.

"Feng'er! Come out quickly, I have something to tell you." The old man shouted into the house.

After a while, the boy came out of the house.There was no expression on his face, he just clenched his hands and strode out.

"Master, why did you call Feng'er here?"

The old man didn't answer his question, "Feng'er, what are you thinking about while you're in the house?"

"Master, Feng'er didn't think about anything in the house. He just recalled the past 17 years. The days in Changbai Mountain." The boy said slowly.

"Are you still unwilling to leave here?" The old man breathed out, eagerly waiting for the boy's answer.

"Master, Feng'er understands"

"Feng'er, it's just that Feng'er knows that this day will eventually come. Master, you are also doing it for my own good. Feng'er will take good care of herself in the future."

The boy seemed to say those unwilling words in one breath.

Immediately after they looked at each other with the old man, suddenly they both smiled, revealing a family affection between the old and the young that cannot be described in words.Those words that should have been swallowed are now only melted in this momentary smile.

This smile relieved the master's heart, but it concealed the thousands of struggles in the young man's heart.

"Feng'er, this day will eventually come, and the master can rest assured that you can do this."

"The disciple understands."

"You can go down the mountain with Master Wang and Daxia Li."

"Master, do you want your apprentice to follow their two seniors?" the boy asked.

"Little brother, if you want, you can go down the mountain with us. Senior Wang is the head of the Lingxiao Sect. You can live and study under his sect with peace of mind. When you have some experience in the world, the next thing It's not too late for you to make arrangements on your own." Li Hanye said to the boy.

The young man looked at the two tall and burly men in front of him, he couldn't speak, but he felt something in his heart that he had never felt before. It was another kind of dependence, maybe it was the extraordinary temperament of Wang Musheng and Li Hanye. , or maybe they are trusted by the master.

"Feng'er, are you willing?" the old man asked.

"Feng'er doesn't want to worry the master anymore, and the apprentice is willing to go down the mountain with the two seniors. Master."

"Since you've made up your mind, there's no need to miss it any more. You can go." The old man was very firm at the moment.

The young man could no longer speak, because he never thought that today would be the day of parting, the last time he would see his master, and he looked at the master again, just wanting to take another look at the old man when he was parting.

The young man knelt on the snow, the cold wind was blowing against his body, and the heavy snow soaked his legs. He kowtowed slowly to the old man, waiting for the master's response.

"You get up, Master Wang, Daxia Li, and the young disciple, I will give it to you two. In addition, here is a letter. You two will open it after you leave Changbai Mountain." The old man left a message.

"Senior, we know." Li Hanye said after receiving the letter.

"Senior, Wang Musheng will definitely not trust seniors."

When the sky was full of snow, the three of them were about to set off to leave the Changbai Snow Realm.Before the boy left, he took one last look at the old man.

　If you think it’s good, you can save it and vote for it. It’s my first creation, I hope to bring you the rivers and lakes in my heart.
