Taiqing Sword

Chapter 14, Apprentice

After the two left, Shangguan Jinghong stared at the little girl for a long time, and the little girl also looked up at Shangguan Jinghong. After a while, Shangguan Jinghong smiled and said, "What's your name?"

"No name." The girl's resolute eyes made Shangguan Jinghong startled again. This little girl seemed to be a little repulsive, but she was somewhat similar to Ning Ningxin.

Shangguan Jinghong wasn't angry either, in fact he couldn't get angry looking at such a child: "Then I'll get you one."

"Need not."

"Hehe, you're quite stubborn, so go back and remember not to peek at other people practicing martial arts next time, or Elder Bai will catch you again, and I won't be able to save you."

Who knew that as soon as Shangguan Jinghong's words fell, the little girl fell to her knees with a plop, which startled Shangguan Jinghong: "What is this for?"

"I want to worship you as my teacher and learn martial arts." It seems that this little girl also has some stories, Shangguan Jinghong thought so.

"Why, Hall Master Feng Wu of Xiuyue Hall, I met once, he is nice, why not teach you?" Shangguan Jinghong was a little surprised, and he couldn't just agree rashly, this was poaching.

"Hmph, they don't teach me martial arts at all, I'm just a handyman in Fengwu Hall." The little girl said angrily.

"That's why I didn't teach you."

"Ever since I arrived at Xiuyue Hall, Hall Master Feng Wu has been in closed-door training. He asked the big brother to teach me martial arts, and the big brother only cared about practicing martial arts by himself. Others, not only did not teach me, they only asked me to do chores. .” The little girl felt aggrieved, her eyes were red.

"Really! I can accept you as an apprentice, but I need the approval of the head of Fengwu Hall, otherwise I can just transfer you out of Xiuyue Hall, um, let's go to Xiuyue Hall." Shangguan Jinghong helped Get up the little girl and go to Xiuyue Hall.

When I arrived at Xiuyue Hall, it happened that Feng Wu was leaving the customs. Seeing Shangguan Jinghong coming, I was a little surprised: "The elder Shangguan is here, and I am far away to welcome you."

"Hallmaster Feng Wu is too polite."

"Hey, why is this little girl by the side of the elder Shangguan?" Feng Wu looked at the little girl and was even more surprised.

"To be honest with Master Fengwu, I really came here for this matter." Shangguan Jinghong said while stroking the little girl's head.

"Oh, Feng Wu knows, since this little girl belongs to the elder Shangguan, I should do my best to teach her."

"Hall Master Feng Wu misunderstood, I want to take this girl to my place, I wonder if Hall Master Feng Wu can part with her?" Shangguan Jinghong quickly explained when he heard that Feng Wu had misunderstood him.

Feng Wu was stunned: "So that's the case, why did the elder Shangguan make this trip? The elders can choose outstanding disciples from each hall, and my Xiuyue Hall is no exception." Then he said to the little girl: "Girl, since Shangguan The elder is optimistic about you, so you can go."

When Shangguan Jinghong heard it, it turned out that the elder still has this authority, I didn't know it at all, but he said: "That's the case, after all, it's better for me to say it, so we can have more Fengwu hall masters, if there is anything in the future Well, I'll do my best."

Feng Wu was overjoyed when she heard that, she was waiting for this sentence, and she didn't even dare to say it.

Shangguan Jinghong took the little girl back to his residence, and stared into the little girl's eyes again: "Now you can say your name."

"Purple clothes."

"Your surname is Zi?" Shangguan Jinghong was curious.

"Do not."

"Since you don't want to say it, forget it. You can go back to Xiuyue Hall." Shangguan Jinghong was also a little angry at this time, so he begged you to let you escape the house rules, and took you away from Xiuyue Hall. Come back, how can I say that I am also an elder, even though I am a guest, but a junior disciple of Xiuyue Hall, who is several generations behind, dare to be so arrogant.

"No, don't drive me away." After saying that, he fell to his knees and looked at Shangguan Jinghong in horror.

Shangguan Jinghong also ignored him: "Don't you want to worship me as a teacher? I can promise you, but when will you learn to respect the teacher and respect the way?"

The little girl didn't know what to do, she just knelt on the ground and looked at Shangguan Jinghong pitifully.

Shangguan Jinghong let out a long sigh: "What's your name?"

"Ziyi." After speaking, the little girl suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly added: "Ouyang Ziyi."

So it was Shangguan Jinghong's turn to be surprised. When he was viewing Jianghu Zhi in Zangshuge, he mentioned that Ouyang's surname is rare, and generally Ouyang's surname is related to the Ouyang family: "Are you from the Ouyang family?"

"No." There was resentment in Ouyang Ziyi's eyes: "I have nothing to do with the Ouyang family, my surname is Ouyang."

"Huh? I don't admit it. People in Jianghu have clear grievances and grievances. Even if you have enmity with the contemporary members of the Ouyang family, could it be that the ancestors of the Ouyang family also have enmity with you? I can't teach you even if you can betray your ancestors." Shangguan Jinghong has already guessed that Ouyang Ziyi must have something to do with the Ouyang family, and also guessed that she must bear hatred.

"Master, please accept me." Ouyang Ziyi's tears rolled down like broken beads.

"Tell me about your business."

"A year ago, my uncle Ouyang Ba killed my father with his own hands in order to be the head of the family. My mother took me to hide in Tibet and was bullied, but he finally found him. In order to protect me, my mother was killed by Ouyang Ba. Ba brutally killed, I want to collect my mother's body, but I can't even put together the completed body. I hate him, I hate all the people with the surname Ouyang, my father often took care of them when he was alive, but they were in my parents I didn’t do anything when I was killed. I hate them. I have been avoiding hunting and killing for a year. Two months ago, I was rescued by the master of Fengwu Hall. She took me in. I know that Ziwu Palace is a great sect. I want to learn martial arts , I want to avenge my father and mother, but they refuse to teach me anything." Ouyang Ziyi burst into tears, telling the pain in her heart.

After Shangguan Jinghong finished listening, he looked at Ouyang Ziyi for a long time before slowly saying: "Okay, I will accept you."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Ziyi immediately kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you master, thank you master."

Shangguan Jinghong waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me first, I can accept you, but there are two conditions."

Ouyang Ziyi hurriedly said: "No matter what the conditions are, I will agree."

"First, if you want to learn martial arts for revenge, I will not stop you, but you can only kill the culprit, and you can't implicate others. Second, learning my martial arts can't be practiced overnight. You can't do it until I say you can become a teacher." Go down the mountain to take revenge. Only when I can do these two things can I accept you as my apprentice." Shangguan Jinghong said seriously.

After listening, Ouyang Ziyi said without hesitation, "The disciple kowtowed to the master."

Shangguan Jinghong silently received Ouyang Ziyi's three worships, and helped her up: "The kung fu I want to teach you is called Taiji. As for the inner strength and mental method, I will go to the library to find a suitable one for you and teach you."

"Yes, Master."

……

On the martial arts arena.

"Zi Yi, have you learned Kung Fu before?"

"Master, I used to practice family martial arts with my father. At that time, I was too playful and only knew the basic moves, otherwise I wouldn't know..." Ouyang Ziyi recalled the sad past again.

"Ziyi, be strong, now is not the time to be sad, learn martial arts well, and do what you think is right." Shangguan Jinghong touched Ouyang Ziyi's small head and said.

Immediately after his face straightened, he said, "I will teach you two sets of martial arts, one is Taijiquan and the other is Taijijian. You have to keep in mind what I'm going to say next, understand?"

Ouyang Ziyi looked at Shangguan Jinghong with a determined face and nodded vigorously.

"Tai Chi practitioners, born of infinity, are also the mother of yin and yang. To practice this set of boxing, you only need to remember the eight words 'sink your shoulders and drop your elbows, hold your chest and straighten your back.' Gravity sounds simple, but it is easy to learn and difficult to master, some people may find it difficult to reach the highest level of Taijiquan in their entire life, even as a teacher." Shangguan Jinghong himself said with a little yearning.

"What about Tai Chi Sword, Master." Ouyang Ziyi excitedly asked Shangguan Jinghong.

"If you practice Taijiquan well, you will be able to practice Taijijian." Shangguan Jinghong said something that made Ouyang Ziyi puzzled for a long time. It was not until Ouyang Ziyi practiced Taijiquan to a great degree that he understood the true meaning of this sentence.

"Look, Ziyi, I'll only play once, how much you can comprehend depends on your own good luck." After finishing speaking, I stopped talking nonsense.

In the martial arts arena, Shangguan Jinghong's movements were sometimes fast and sometimes slow, every move and every style seemed to be random and unstructured, but in fact they were interlocking and did not reveal any flaws.I saw where the wind of the fist went, the surrounding vegetation moved with the wind. After half an hour, Shangguan Jinghong closed his fist and stood up, exhaling a foul breath: "Ziyi, how much have you understood?"

Ouyang Ziyi didn't seem to have heard Shangguan Jinghong's words, and stood on the spot blankly, motionless. Shangguan Jinghong was taken aback, and murmured to himself: "This little girl has an epiphany, she is extremely talented. Soon, I'm afraid this Tai Chi Quan will be famous all over the world because of her, ha ha." Shangguan Jinghong didn't know that his one-time words would become prophecies many years later.

Shangguan Jinghong didn't bother her, and walked to the side silently, just about to sit down and rest, a loud voice came, Shangguan Jinghong's face was slightly bitter, Nan Gonglie came: "Brother Shangguan Jinghong, come here, come on, what do I think?" Break your Tai Chi."

"Shh, brother, silence, my apprentice is practicing." Nangong Lie was a little surprised: "brother, I haven't seen you for a day, so you accept apprentice?" Pointing to Ouyang Ziyi, he said: "Just this little girl?" After looking at it carefully, I was shocked: "Sureness!!"

Nangong Lie opened his mouth wide and looked at Shangguan Jinghong, who nodded with a smile.

"Brother, what kung fu did you teach her?"

"Tai Chi."

The two exchanged without saying a word, and after an hour, Ouyang Ziyi came to his senses with joy on his face, a starting gesture, Taijiquan moves evolved one by one, and after finishing the fight, it was the same as what Shangguan Jinghong just demonstrated None of the tricks are the same, but there seems to be nothing wrong with them, on the contrary they are extremely coherent.

Shangguan Jinghong's smile grew stronger: "Zi Yi, I thought you could comprehend two or three achievements enough to surprise me, but now it seems that you have comprehended more than [-]% of the essence of Taijiquan. Your talent is really amazing."

Ouyang Ziyi fell to his knees with a plop: "Thank you for teaching, master."

"As a teacher, go back to Zangshu Pavilion in a few days to find an inner strength method that suits you. You must not slack off, and you must know the truth of never leaving your fist." At this moment, Shangguan Jinghong is quite a master.

Nangong Lie at the side curled his lips when he heard Shangguan Jinghong's old-fashioned tone: "Brother Shangguan, are you tired or not? If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you so polite? It sounds so awkward."

Shangguan Jinghong also felt that what he said seemed to be a little old and mature, he laughed: "Brother is right, I am a little artificial."

"Oh~ that's right, come on, let's have a fight and see if I break your Tai Chi."

"Brother, are you sure?" Shangguan Jinghong smiled evilly again.

"Stop talking nonsense." Nangong Lie didn't use Drunken Fist this time, but directly used his own martial arts to attack Shangguan Jinghong head-on.

Shangguan Jinghong didn't dodge either. Seeing a punch coming, he pressed his palm lightly, his heels off the ground, and let the force of the punch push him back. Seeing that Nangong Lie was weak, he stood still and pulled forward, Nangong Lie staggered and fell forward a few steps, before he could stand still, he was slapped on the back by Shangguan Jinghong, and immediately fell a vicious dog to grab shit.Shangguan Jinghong smiled slightly: "Zi Yi, this is called using strength to fight."

Ouyang Ziyi chuckled, and Nangong Lie became even more annoyed: "Stinky boy, you dare to use me as a target to teach your apprentice, I'm so mad at you."

Yun Qi punched Shangguan Jinghong's chest with a straight punch from his inner strength. Shangguan Jinghong saw that Nangong Lie had used his inner strength, but he didn't dare to be careless. He drew a semicircle with his hands in the air. Seeing the fist hit, his right hand spun around Nangong Lie's fist , suddenly brought up a spiral airflow, and retreated slowly, Nangong Lie only felt that the inner strength contained in his fist was gradually being dissolved, he was shocked, Shangguan Jinghong knew that the fist strength had been dissolved, without hesitation, he slammed his right shoulder into Nangong On Lie's chest, Nangong Lie retreated quickly, but Shangguan Jinghong didn't give him a chance to retreat, grabbed Nangong Lie's wrist from left to right and pulled him forward, and slapped Nangong Lie's chest with his palm, Nangong Lie fell headfirst.

Ouyang Ziyi kept clapping and applauding, Shangguan Jinghong couldn't bear it: "Well, big brother, it's okay, let's come again."

Nangong Lie glanced at Shangguan Jinghong resentfully, the stinky boy made me look ugly in front of the younger generation, so he simply sat on the ground and couldn't get up, angrily said to Shangguan Jinghong: "Come on, stop spanking, I said You kid doesn't follow the routine, your moves were not like this last time."

Shangguan Jinghong felt a little funny when he heard it: "I said, big brother, how can this be my fault, Taijiquan has no fixed moves, just do whatever you want, there is no move to win, there is a move."

"There is no trick to win?" Nangong Lie was stunned when he heard the words, thinking, yes, there will be a way to resolve it after all, if there is no move, it will be impossible to resolve it, this kid is not simple, there is such a thing High martial arts attainments.

"What a trick to win! Jinghong, I can't imagine that you have such a realm at such a young age, which makes us old guys feel ashamed." Shangguan Jinghong turned his head and saw that the speaker was He Yannian.

"Ah, when did the Palace Master come? If I knew you were watching, I would have saved some face for Brother Nangong." Shangguan Jinghong was still cheekily making fun of Nangong Lie at this time.

When Nangong Lie heard this, his face turned red and he jumped up from the ground: "Shangguan Jinghong, you brat, you taunted me in front of the old palace master." While talking, he chased and beat Shangguan Jinghong, only seeing Ouyang Ziyi He giggled and didn't listen.

He Yannian shook his head and said, "Okay, the old ones are not like the old ones, and the young ones are not like the young ones. There is also a junior watching from the side, so I don't know how to pay attention." Nangong Lie heard the old palace master's words , gave Shangguan Jinghong a hard look, and resentfully gave up, He Yannian said to Shangguan Jinghong: "Jinghong, I heard that you have taken in an apprentice? Could it be this little girl."

"Who did Palace Master listen to?" Shangguan Jinghong scratched his head in embarrassment: "Zi Yi, come here to meet Palace Master."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Ziyi walked over quickly and bowed deeply: "Ouyang Ziyi pays homage to the Palace Master."

He Yannian stroked his beard and looked Ouyang Ziyi up and down with a smile, and said after a while: "Not bad, but you are a talent in martial arts. I hope you will be as good as your master in the future."

Ouyang Ziyi turned his head and glanced at Shangguan Jinghong, patted his chest and assured: "The disciple must practice martial arts well, and strive to surpass the master as soon as possible."

One sentence made everyone laugh.

After a long while, He Yannian said: "Ziyi, go and rest first. Jinghong, Nangong, come with me."
