Old Man Li laughed heartily, "Little Jiang girl, you won't say that This Old Man is boasting anymore, right? However, This Old Man is telling the truth. That sword just now was a stroke of luck. It was only when the right time, place, and people were all present that it had this kind of power. In this world, things that don't go your way are as numerous as the hairs on a cow. How many words can you say to others? Therefore, there are millions of swords in the world, but the immortal swords of sword immortals should also be pitifully few. Moreover, This Old Man's sword was called by the people of the Jianghu as the realm of sword immortals cannot exist forever. This Old Man is very open-minded now. He doesn't have extravagant hopes of becoming a land immortal. He only wants to teach you everything he knows. If he teaches you how to use the sword, there's hope that he can teach a female sword immortal. It's also good for This Old Man's reputation. "
Jiang Ni said calmly, "Then you'd better teach him how to use the sword."
The old man didn't take it to heart. He muttered to himself, "Ancestor Lu had a poem as a warning to those who came to learn the sword later on. 'Three feet in the box don't cry out often. If I don't meet someone, I swear I won't pass it on.' I deeply agree. This Old Man has met countless juniors who practice the sword in his life. There's no lack of sword geniuses with extraordinary perception and bone structure. However, if you can't match This Old Man's temper, even if you're Đồng Thái, you can forget about learning This Old Man's Two-sleeved Green Snake. The Wu family's sword mound gave up sword intent for heavenly sword moves and looked down on the world's sword moves. Only This Old Man's unique skill, not to mention how peerless his sword intent is, his sword moves are also exquisite to the peak. Back then, it made those half-dead people of the Wu family feel inferior … "
Jiang Ni frowned and sighed heavily. She put down the book and glared, "Again?!"
Li Chungang scratched the divine talisman dagger that was pinned to his hair bun. His expression was slightly awkward. If it was anyone else outside the cabin, they would treat his words as an imperial edict. However, this stubborn girl in front of him was really not buying the old God of Swords's words. Li Chungang wasn't annoyed. He picked up a handful of pecans from the table and walked out of the cabin. He ignored the boatman who worshipped him as the Dragon King, the reverence of Lü Qiantang and the other martial artists, and the fear of some Beiliang cavalry. He walked to Hsu Fengnian and Wei Shuyang and sat down casually. He stretched out his leg and kicked away the young Kui that had just fallen from the Spring Thunder Saber. The elder sister Bodhisattva wanted to avenge her younger brother. She immediately scratched four small holes on the ground with her sharp claws and roared. Hsu Fengnian reached out and pressed down on the little guy who was protecting him. The young female Kui turned her head and showed a very human face of grievance. Hsu Fengnian smiled and shook his head. The young Kui was very intelligent and ran to comfort her younger brother.
Old God of Swords Li was puzzled, "Kid, where did you find this beast? It's not inferior to Qi Xuanzhen's black tiger. In a few years, two of them will be comparable to a Level One expert. It's a pity that you can't live for two or three hundred years like them. "
Hsu Fengnian was even more puzzled and asked, "What's the matter?"
The old man casually threw the pecans in his hand on the deck and said in an old-fashioned manner, "Kid, that morning in the Qingyang Palace, I saw your three-legged cat saber technique. It was really an eyesore.
Take out the Embroidered Winter Saber with a thinner blade and do as This Old Man said. "
Hsu Fengnian did not hesitate and sat up straight. Du Sicong, the master swordsman who wrote the Outline of a Thousand Swords, had stood in the snow for three days in order to seek advice from Li Chungang. Hsu Fengnian was not a pretentious person who put on airs and immediately took out the Embroidered Winter Saber with a blade as thin as a cicada's wing. The Embroidered Winter Saber was slender and thinner than the Spring Thunder. Using it to practice saber was a test of one's mastery of saber strength. A slight difference in saber strength would result in a huge deviation. Later, White Fox lent him the Spring Thunder. Presumably, half of it was because she saw through Hsu Fengnian's deliberate concealment of the left-hand saber, and the other half was because the Spring Thunder was more suitable for the overbearing heavy saber. Hsu Fengnian had a solid foundation in the Great Yellow Court. Moreover, he had not practiced saber for a year for nothing, nor had he read all the martial arts secret manuals for nothing. He was almost considered to have reached a higher level in martial arts. When he used the Spring Thunder, they could complement each other and complement each other. Hsu Fengnian had put in a lot of effort, which meant that he had tacitly acknowledged Idiot Xu as his friend and confidant.
Hsu Fengnian pulled out the Embroidered Winter Saber. Seeing the old God of Sword remain silent, he asked in a low voice, "And then?"
Wei Shuyang was even more cautious. The person beside him was Old God of Sword Li. Although Li Chungang was defeated by Wang Xianzhi and Wei Shuyang abandoned his sword to cultivate in the mountains out of anger, in the eyes of his generation, no matter how powerful Đồng Thái was, he was not as impressive as the old God of Sword Li. You, Đồng Thái, defeated God of Sword Li? How could you call him God of Sword if you didn't even defeat him?!
Li Chungang yawned and asked Hsu Fengnian to hang the saber at a fixed height. He said impatiently, "Kid, try to flick the saber with your finger and see if you can break the walnuts on the floor."
Hsu Fengnian adjusted his breathing, squinted his eyes, and stretched out his finger. With a crisp "ding" sound, Wei Shuyang, who was watching attentively, saw the Embroidered Winter Saber curve in an arc. Unfortunately, it was still a finger's length away from the walnuts on the floor. Hsu Fengnian was not discouraged. His finger brushed lightly on the saber, found a point, and flicked it. The Embroidered Winter Saber curved like a full moon. With a "ding" and a "bang", it smashed a walnut in an instant, leaving a mark on the floor of the boat.
Wei Shuyang subconsciously wanted to stroke his beard, but he suddenly realized that Old God of Sword Li was present. He did not dare to act rashly. However, the old Taoist was very impressed with His Royal Highness's flick of the saber. Although the Embroidered Winter Saber was thin, not everyone could flick it with such tenacity.
Old Man Li supported his cheek with one hand and continued, "Next, try to crush the walnuts, but don't leave a mark on the floor."
Xu Fengnian frowned slightly, but he did not hurry to snap his fingers. Instead, he rubbed the Embroidered Winter Saber. He had benefited a lot from comprehending the essence of swordsmanship in the Qingshui Pavilion Sword Training Manual on Mount Wudang, which allowed Xu Fengnian to have the consciousness to control the flow of Qi in the body, which was the root of the saber strength. Shattering a walnut without affecting the ship's deck was no longer a simple matter of increasing or decreasing the strength. It was the same as a master of swordsmanship who seemed to easily stab with his sword but contained countless complicated sword moves. Sweeping the saber and accumulating strength, it was important to know when and where to explode, how much to explode, how much to explode, how heavy or heavy. These were all profound knowledge that gave Xu Fengnian a headache. Xu Fengnian did not snap his fingers, so the old man was still holding his chin, calm and unruffled. He pinched a walnut with two fingers and threw it in front of his eyes. He gently sucked it into his mouth and said vaguely, "Kid, hurry up. I don't have time to watch you daze."
Hsu Fengnian smiled bitterly. He collected his thoughts and flicked his finger. The curve was still full and had a mysterious beauty. The walnut shattered, but there was a slight mark on the floor.
He flicked his blade several times and it was the same.
The old God of Swords said with disdain, "You read the Thousand Sword Grass Compendium for nothing. Is this how you listen to books? What a waste of Little Jiang's saliva. "
Hsu Fengnian closed his eyes and recalled the scene of the water droplets turning into swords.
The old man stood up and patted his butt. He sneered, "When you succeed, stack up two walnuts again. Remember to smash the bottom walnut. The floor of the boat and the top walnut must be intact. However, This Old Man reckons that with your terrible perception, not to mention the latter, even a small matter like this would be difficult. If you can't do it, then don't practice the saber with Lü Qiantang. "
Hsu Fengnian remained silent and racked his brains. The old God of Swords probably felt that this fellow was too similar to the Wu family's Sword Master. He was in a bad mood and walked into the cabin without looking back.
Wei Shuyang quietly left the bow of the boat so that no one would disturb him.
He sat there until dusk and then until moonlight.
Yu Youwei went to put on a coat for Hsu Fengnian in the middle of the night.
Hsu Fengnian only pointed at the shattered walnuts on the floor. Yu Youwei immediately went to get another handful and piled them in front of him.
In the early morning, the old man came to the bow of the boat with sleepy eyes and saw Hsu Fengnian in a daze. He went closer to take a look. Eh? This kid changed the winter to spring thunder?! And on the floor in front of him, there were three walnuts?!
Several red carps leaped out of the river.
This was a common sight in large rivers.
The old God of Swords turned and left. After walking far away, he muttered to himself, "Good kid, the carp has jumped over the dragon's gate. I made a mistake this time. However, This Old Man wants to see how many times you can jump over the next ten years! "
