Those years when I was a corpse guard in Yizhuang

Chapter 92 The Mysterious Shepherd Old Man! (Big brothers, please follow up!)

"Young man, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."

The old shepherd grinned sheepishly, revealing his chipped front teeth.

His tone is simple and honest, with a strong local spoken language, which makes people feel very simple and down-to-earth.

There was no breath or trace that a cultivator should have on his body. Li Yu even smelled a strong smell of sheep on the old man, looking like an ordinary old man herding sheep.

But even if Li Yu thought about it with his toes, he knew that this old man was by no means simple.

After all, who's old sheep-herding man could be calm and composed in Mu Shaobai's furious aura just now?

Whose old sheep-herding man could witness the fierce fighting scene just now and be indifferent?
"It's okay, it doesn't matter."

Li Yuhun waved his hand indifferently, and said curiously:
"Grandpa, you look like you are from China, right?"

"Yes."

The old shepherd nodded.

Li Yu asked strangely: "Then you, a person from the Central Plains, why did you get mixed up with this martial artist from Yuantu Kingdom?"

The old shepherd scratched his dry and gray hair with his hands, and said with a smile:
"My family used to be poor, so I went to herd sheep for the big family in the village. As a result, I met a pack of wolves that day, and they killed all the sheep and dragged them away. Even I was almost killed."

"The sheep was lost. If the big family in the village knew about it, I would definitely be beaten to death, so I didn't go back. I hid on the grassland alone for more than ten days and almost starved to death. Later, I was a passing Yuantu country. The girl was kind enough to save me, and gave me half a pancake and a piece of jerky."

"So, I'm going to herd the sheep for her, and it's right to repay her kindness."

"So that's the case, then your old experience is really quite rich."

Li Yu nodded, feeling that the old man was straightforward, what to say, he glanced at the tattered short knife at his waist, and couldn't help but curiously said:

"Old man, do you also practice knives?"

The old shepherd waved his hands again and again:

"No, how can I, an old man who herds sheep, know how to use a knife?"

"Oh, then why do you still have a knife hanging around your waist?"

Li Yu nodded, and took out a handful of melon seeds from somewhere and handed it to him. The two squatted down and chatted while eating melon seeds.

"This knife is used to kill sheep, and sometimes wolves will be encountered when herding sheep. Only with a knife can we defend ourselves."

The old man was not too polite, he took the melon seeds casually, and said while nibbling:

"You may not know it, but the prairie is vast. Not only wolves, but also lions, bears, jackals, foxes, and ghosts and ghosts. I am timid and do not carry a knife. Not at ease."

"That's it."

Li Yu was thoughtful.

"What about you, young man? What do you do?"

The old shepherd spat out the melon seeds in his mouth and asked casually.

"You ask me, I grew up in Yizhuang since I was a child, and later became the corpse guard of Yizhuang. I specialize in collecting and embalming corpses on weekdays."

"Corpse keeper, that's right. Although it's a bit dirty and tiring, at least people won't starve to death."

The old sheepherder seemed quite emotional: "In these days, it would be nice to have a bite to eat and not die of starvation."

"Yes."

Li Yu nodded approvingly.

The old man glanced at him, "But young man, you should also know martial arts, right?"

"Your old eyesight is really poisonous, yes, I have practiced several sword skills."

Li Yu said with a smile, but did not deny it.

"Well, I see."

The old sheepherd dropped the melon seed rind in his mouth, and said casually: "You are a good young swordsman, although it is a bit complicated and messy, but you already have your own things in it, continue to practice, and you will have a bright future in the future. "

Li Yu was taken aback when he heard that.

These few words seem to be nothing, but in fact, they have clearly summarized his sword skills and current situation, and they are not bad at all!
He first practiced "Zhanpaku Daoshu", and later incorporated "Zhanpaku Daoshu" into it.Later, after killing Chao Yuanzi, he got a lot of secret books on sword techniques, such as "Five Tigers Broken Door Knife", "Returning Wind Fussing the Willow Knife", "Mandarin Duck Sword", "Drawing the Sword and Slashing" and so on.

Some of these sword techniques are simple and grand, some are feminine and delicate, some are smart and fierce, and some are pure and unique.

Li Yu never refuses anyone who comes, and intends to master all these sword techniques, digest and absorb them, and finally form his own style and become his own thing.

This method undoubtedly requires a lot of time and energy, but Li Yu is very savvy and talented in knife skills, and he has already gained a lot.

No one knows this except himself.

Who would have thought, but was seen through by the old man in front of him.

"You have seen my details clearly. You said just now that you don't know how to use swords?" Li Yu took a deep look at the old man.

"Damn~~ I'm just talking nonsense, don't take it too seriously."

The old shepherd waved his hands indifferently and said:

"Besides, I don't know knife skills, so it doesn't really matter to me that I can see your details. It's like a cook cooking. If a guest doesn't know how to cook, can he still taste whether the food is delicious? .”

"There is some truth in what you say"

Li Yu laughed dumbly, knowing that the old man didn't want to say more, and didn't mean to continue to ask, but instead said: "Then what do you think I should do next?"

"How can I, a bad old man, have the right to guide you? You know your own way, so why do you need others to guide you? Just keep going!"

The old shepherd patted the skin of the melon seeds on his body and wiped his mouth:
"But you have to remember that no matter whether it's a knife or a sword, it needs someone to use it. Don't be dazed at the end of the knife practice. If you don't care about it, it won't be good."

After finishing speaking, the old shepherd got up and walked towards Mu Shaobai.

"What the senior said is."

Li Yu was thoughtful, and bowed his hands to the old shepherd, thanking him for his kindness.

The old man kept saying that he was not qualified to give advice to him, but the last sentence summed up the essence of martial arts. No matter what kind of weapon is practiced, it is controlled by people, not weapons.

In the final analysis, in martial arts, talents are the foundation, and weapons or offensive martial arts are at best a tool to achieve the goal, or a part of the warrior, not the whole.

At this time, Mu Shaobai has also made an appointment with Zheng Can and others for the next meeting, and plans to settle the grievances together at that time. Seeing the old shepherd approaching, he glanced at Li Yu in the distance, and said strangely: "Pan What did the old man do just now?"

"It's nothing, I met a good young man, so I chatted with him casually."

The old shepherd laughed.

"Oh? Not a bad young man?" Mu Shaobai's eyes turned and fell on Li Yu, and there seemed to be a golden light flashing in his eyes.

There was also a hint of curiosity in his heart.

Naturally, he is very clear about the high vision of this old man. There are not many people who can catch this old man's eyes all the way from Yuantu Kingdom, and there are not many people who can make him have such an evaluation.Even the old Zheng Can and even Mu Shaobai didn't say anything.

How could that young man deserve such an evaluation?
