Even if he stayed in the Gui Yuan Sect, he wouldn't be able to help forge the Fiery Gilt Steel Armor. Therefore, the next morning, Teng Qingshan returned to Nanxing County with his men.
In the training field of the Li Residence in Nanxing County:
"Roar ~ Roar ~ ~" The Six Legged Bladelike Chi happily roared at Teng Qingshan. Teng Qingshan had been away for eight or nine days. During these eight or nine days, it hadn't had the chance to watch the 《Metal Element Fist》.
"Bladelike Chi, you are working hard now. When you were in Duanmu Continent, you were too lazy to sleep. Now, you are working very hard." Teng Qingshan smiled as he touched the Six Legged Bladelike Chi's cold and ferocious bladelike legs. There were sharp spikes on the bladelike legs.
"Qingshan, the Six Legged Bladelike Chi is jealous of Little Blue. Of course, it has to work hard," Li Jun said with a smile.
"Was everything okay at home while I was away?" Teng Qingshan asked.
"Nothing. Everything is fine." Li Jun nodded. Now that she was living a peaceful and happy life, Li Jun had a graceful temperament.
Teng Qingshan turned to look at his two disciples.
"Teacher." Teng Shou and Yang Dong greeted respectfully.
"Ah Dong." Teng Qingshan looked at Yang Dong and said, "Before I left, I taught you the 《Forty-nine Azure Lotus Swords》. Show me."
"Yes, Teacher."
Yang Dong held a bamboo pole in his hand. This bamboo pole wasn't an ordinary bamboo pole. It was a sword sheath made of high-quality green steel that looked like a bamboo pole to confuse people.
"Whew!"
As soon as Yang Dong unsheathed the sword, he moved in a strange arc as though he had transformed into a gust of wind. The shadow of the sword in his hand was like a venomous snake spitting out its tongue. Every time the sword pierced out, a "chi" sound would be heard. Yang Dong's body was slightly plump. When he performed the Qing Gong, he looked like a fat gourd that swayed continuously.
"Eh?" Teng Qingshan raised his eyebrows as he thought to himself, "This Yang Dong does indeed have a good understanding of sword arts. That's right. The Green Lotus Sword Art focuses on illusion and speed. Yang Dong has walked the path of being unpredictable and fast."
"In just eight or nine days, his achievements in swordsmanship are very close to his father, Old Wang."
Seeing Yang Dong practicing, Teng Qingshan was very disappointed.
However, as he watched Yang Dong practice his sword, it exceeded Teng Qingshan's expectations. This made Teng Qingshan very pleasantly surprised.
Actually, it wasn't strange that Yang Dong's swordsmanship was at such a high level … … Before he met Teng Qingshan, Yang Dong's Sword Thrusting Art was created by himself. He practiced it thousands of times every day, and Yang Dong's foundation was extremely solid. The Azure Lotus Sword Song that Yang Dong was practicing now originated from the Azure Lotus Sword Song passed down by the Omnipotent Expert Li Taibai. Later on, Teng Qingshan adapted this sword art according to Yang Dong's temperament, and it was indeed suitable for Yang Dong.
The 《Forty-nine Green Lotus Swords》 was broad and profound, and Yang Dong would gain some enlightenment almost every time he practiced it. He had accumulated it for several years when he was young, and now, he was constantly improving.
Phew.
After Yang Dong finished practicing this sword technique, he stopped and looked at Teng Qingshan. A look of anticipation and satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
He asked himself … Among his peers, no one could surpass him in swordsmanship. Even Li Jun had praised Teng Qingshan's swordsmanship before.
"Ah Dong is indeed as I saw him in the past. He has the ability to comprehend and perseverance. However … He is still young, and I'm afraid that he will become arrogant. "Teng Qingshan knew very well what geniuses were most afraid of. Arrogance! If one was too arrogant, his achievements in the future would be very limited.
"Hmm, it seems that you haven't been slacking off these past eight or nine days." Teng Qingshan smiled faintly and said, "However, your swordsmanship is still very lacking. When I was your age … the realm of my spear arts had long surpassed your current level. Back then, my spear arts were purely self-created. "
Yang Dong was startled.
"Even the core disciples of the eight supreme sects of the Land of the Nine Prefectures aren't qualified to learn this sword technique of yours." Teng Qingshan said coldly, "Currently, you have only scratched the surface of this sword technique … However, I can't blame you. After all, you have only learned it for eight or nine days. It's still acceptable for you to have scratched the surface."
Yang Dong felt uncomfortable when he heard this, and he felt somewhat indignant. Scratched the surface? His strength was only scratched the surface?
In the past, he had mingled in a bandit's lair, and he knew very well how strong he was compared to ordinary people.
"Teacher …" Yang Dong couldn't help but speak.
"Continue practicing." Teng Qingshan said faintly, "You have only scratched the surface of this sword technique. If you can achieve some small success in your sword technique, I will let you go out to train."
Scratched the surface?
Although Yang Dong felt indignant, when he thought of his teacher's strength, he felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his heart. When he was in Duanmu Continent, he didn't know Teng Qingshan's age. However, on the way back, he already knew Teng Qingshan's age … In the Land of the Nine Prefectures, Yang Dong often heard people talking about the name 'Teng Qingshan' in restaurants and other places when he went shopping.
"A 21-year-old Emptiness Realm Expert! A 21-year-old God of War! "
"Moreover, he created the branch of Internal Martial Art."
"Compared to Teacher, I am indeed far behind." Yang Dong suddenly realized, "Yes. How can I compare to ordinary bandits and mounted bandits? If I want to compare, I should compare myself with the true experts. I have Teacher's guidance, and Teacher created this technique by himself. How can I be complacent with this achievement? "
"Moreover, according to Teacher, even the Emptiness Dan Innate Experts are no match for Eldest Martial Brother! Eldest Martial Brother is not even 20 years old. He is only a few years older than me. "
"I can't even compare myself to Eldest Martial Brother, let alone Teacher."
After this comparison, Yang Dong felt the gap between them and no longer felt proud.
However, Yang Dong was not a discouraged person. "I can't compare myself to Teacher, but at least I can't be weaker than Eldest Martial Brother!"
"Teacher." Yang Dong said solemnly, "This disciple will definitely practice the sword art seriously."
"Yes." Teng Qingshan smiled and nodded.
… …
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! "
Teng Qingshan stood at the edge of the training field and watched Yang Dong's chubby figure. Sometimes, he was as slow as a tortoise, and sometimes, he was as fast as a cunning rabbit. The changes in speed were extremely strange. The timing and position of Yang Dong's sword art were extremely strange. He was like an antelope hanging its horns, unconstrained and without any pattern.
"Yes." Teng Qingshan smiled and said, "Ah Dong's style is sinister and strange. He likes to sneak attack people, which is different from Li Taibai's carefree and unrestrained style …"
The Green Lotus Sword Song was one of the Four Great Divine Codices.
It was supposed to be carefree and unrestrained and full of illusions. However, different people had different styles. Firstly, Teng Qingshan's simplified 《Forty-nine Azure Lotus Swords》 leaned towards a cold and swift style. When it was performed by Yang Dong, the feeling of this sword art became even more distant. If Teng Qingshan was a mediocre teacher, he would probably scold his disciple.
However, Teng Qingshan was very satisfied.
"Ah Dong, Ah Shou," Teng Qingshan shouted.
Yang Dong and Teng Shou hastily stopped and hurried over.
"Teacher." The two looked at Teng Qingshan respectfully. A teacher for a day is a father for a lifetime! The kindness of a teacher was equivalent to teaching them the ability to establish a foothold in this world. Whether it was in Duanmu Continent, the Land of the Nine Prefectures, or even in the Internal Martial Arts of Teng Qingshan's previous life, the disciples all respected their teachers as if they were their fathers.
"Ah Dong, your sword art has improved a lot," Teng Qingshan said with a faint smile, "However, your style is more strange. It's a sword art for killing people."
"Since it's a sword art for killing people, it can only be gradually perfected through killing people. Otherwise, it's just empty talk. " When Teng Qingshan opened his mouth, Yang Dong's eyes immediately brightened. He had already guessed Teng Qingshan's intention — — Teng Qingshan wanted him to go out and train.
Teng Qingshan glanced at Yang Dong and sighed to himself, "This second disciple of mine is too smart. I'm just worried that his cleverness will harm him in the future."
"Ah Shou, Ah Dong."
Teng Qingshan took out a map from his bosom and threw it to Teng Shou. He instructed, "This is the map of Yangzhou."
These days, Teng Shou and Yang Dong had been learning the writing of the Land of the Nine Prefectures. Because the writing of the Land of the Nine Prefectures and the Duanmu Continent was the same during Emperor Yu's era, the pronunciation was almost the same. Therefore, it wasn't difficult to learn. Now, Teng Shou and Yang Dong could read quite a few words.
"The number one mountain range in Yangzhou is the Tai Ah Mountain Range. It stretches across three counties and is three hundred Li long. Many businesses have to pass through the Tai Ah Mountain Range … … Because of this, there are a large number of bandits and bandits in the Tai Ah Mountain Range. " Teng Qingshan said solemnly, "There are eight large bandit gangs in the Tai Ah Mountain Range, and there are countless ordinary bandit gangs. Hundreds of thousands of bandits and bandits gather in the Tai Ah Mountain Range. Usually, they roar in the forest and sometimes they rob passing merchants."
Teng Qingshan's words caused Teng Shou and Yang Dong's eyes to shine.
Hundreds of thousands of bandits?
It was impossible in Duanmu Continent. In Duanmu Continent, hundreds of clans fought for hegemony, and the bandits were very weak. A few hundred bandits could be considered a large gang.
"I want the two of you to go to the Tai Ah Mountain Range," Teng Qingshan instructed, "Within a year, create a gang with at least two thousand people."
"Haha, Teacher, don't worry. You want Eldest Martial Brother to go with me? With the help of an innate expert and me … … I'm confident that I can create a big gang with twenty thousand people, let alone two thousand people. " Yang Dong smiled proudly and said, "Bandits and bandits are like big fish eating small fish, and small fish eating shrimps. It's very simple."
Teng Qingshan shook his head helplessly … …
This second disciple of his had been a bandit since he was young. He was the best at this kind of work.
"Remember."
Teng Qingshan said solemnly, "In the gang, we won't accept anyone who isn't brave and valiant! Secondly, in the mountain range, don't degenerate to the point of bullying the old, weak, women, and children. As for the rest, I don't care. "
"If we want to be the most powerful bandits in the Tai Ah Mountain Range, we want the most powerful men. Bullying the old, weak, women, and children? I definitely won't accept those cowards, "Yang Dong said with exultation. He had the demeanor of someone who controlled a big gang.
"Here are thirty thousand taels of gold. It's enough for you to start a gang." Teng Qingshan took out a stack of gold notes and said, "You can leave this afternoon."
"Yes, Teacher."
Yang Dong and Teng Shou hastily responded.
Yang Dong's eyes lit up, and Teng Shou's eyes flickered with a ferocious glint. He grew up in a group of wild beasts, and the savagery of bandits suited Teng Shou the best.
"One is a ferocious beast, and the other has been a bandit since he was young. These are my, Teng Qingshan's, disciples." Teng Qingshan smiled bitterly in his heart.
*****
On the evening of the third day after Teng Qingshan sent Yang Dong and Teng Shou away from Nanxing County to the Tai Ah Mountain Range:
Teng Qingshan was sitting cross-legged and cultivating in the martial arts field. Teng Qingshan was the only one on the spacious martial arts field. For a moment, Teng Qingshan and the martial arts field seemed to have become one.
Suddenly —
"Someone actually sneaked into my place?" Teng Qingshan opened his eyes.
"Whoosh!"
A figure suddenly landed on the martial arts field. He immediately noticed Teng Qingshan and revealed a surprised expression.
"You entered without being invited." Teng Qingshan smiled calmly.
"Hmph." The black-clothed figure suddenly dashed forward and dashed in front of Teng Qingshan at lightning speed. A streak of saber light suddenly flashed and silently slashed towards Teng Qingshan's head.
Teng Qingshan remained sitting cross-legged on the ground calmly. His right palm struck out like a huge seal. His palm struck the saber light directly.
"Bang!"
The saber light shattered like the moon in the water. The black-clothed figure involuntarily retreated a few steps and crashed into a tree. With a bang, the tree, which was as thick as a person's thigh, suddenly trembled and fell with a loud bang.
"Who are you?" Teng Qingshan's cold gaze swept over and he said, "Tell me your name. Otherwise, die!"
The black-clothed figure stared at Teng Qingshan in shock. He then hastily removed the black cloth on his face, revealing a cold and callous face that seemed to be carved out of stone. There were traces of blood on the corner of his mouth. At this moment, the black-clothed figure hastily cupped his hands and said respectfully, "I am Cao Yan, the commander of the Energy Slaughterer Guard of the Heavenly God Palace. Greetings, Lord Huhe!"
