Chapter 9 The Second Sword
Chang Wuzi was still holding Zhou Lian's small wooden sword, and stretched out his hand to greet him: "Come, come here."
Shen Wu was confused, but Zhou Lian had already realized that he didn't drink any tea, and said angrily, "Master!"
The master was deaf and didn't hear it. He showed Shen Wu the wooden sword in his hand with a calm expression, and said, "Ah Wu, can you see the characteristics of this sword?"
The fog on Shen Wu's head had the tendency to spread downwards and drown his whole body. He was originally a mortal human eye, but covered by the fog, he couldn't see clearly. His scorching eyes almost pierced through the wooden sword. I didn't see any special features, except for one thing:
"Specially..." At the very moment, he remembered that the owner of the sword was still eyeing him. He quickly reined in and swallowed the word "ugly" that he was about to say, and said, "I'm stupid, I didn't see it."
He thought that Chang Wuzi would say "it's good if you don't see it", but Chang Wuzi seemed to have a tinnitus suddenly, and said to himself:
"Exactly, this sword is very naive, but it is the work of your senior brother's sincerity."
Zhou Lian was caught off guard by the public execution, his ears blushed with shame, and interrupted again: "Master!"
Chang Wuzi finally took a look at him, and comforted him: "Lian'er, don't make trouble."
Shen Wu was so shocked that he forgot his face, and his eyes fell on Zhou Lian without any concealment.
Zhou Lian looked at him with a calm face and a chill in his eyes.
Shen Wu's face turned pale, and he turned his eyes away.
Chang Wuzi turned a blind eye to the conflict he provoked, and continued:
"Although my Yanluo Sect is not specialized in swordsmanship, the ancestors of the past generations have searched up and down and found a set of methods. The first swords that the disciples of this sect take when they first start are all cut by themselves."
He looked down at the sword with loving eyes: "Your senior brother was only seven years old when he sharpened this sword."
Zhou Lian could hardly hold back his expression, the corners of his mouth curled down.
Chang Wuzi closed his wicked mouth in time, and changed the topic: "In our sect, there is a sacred tree transplanted from other places. It has a bit of a fierce temperament. When people stop dying, birds will fall. It used to be a scourge. But the wood is really good, after the ancestor cast a spell to trap it, the new disciples of our sect cast swords, they only draw materials from the top."
He paused, and sighed: "It's a pity, now we are outside, so we can only do things cheaply, and use pomegranate wood to get by."
Shen Wu glanced at the weak pomegranate tree in the corner of the courtyard, feeling unbearable: "Master..."
He also didn't really want to buy himself an ugly wooden sword.
Chang Wuzi took out a hatchet as if conjuring, and said without doubt, "Go."
With Shen Wu's expression, he immediately chased after Zhou Lian.
Seeing his hesitation, Chang Wuzi handed the hatchet to him and encouraged him, "Good boy, don't be afraid, Master came here in the same way back then."
Which cultivating immortal started as a woodcutter!
Shen Wu took the knife while pinching his nose, and felt his hands sink and his body fall, the whole person was dragged forward a few steps, then the hatchet came out of his hand, and fell to the ground with a bang. Ziyan quickly pulled him, so that he didn't step on the knife.
Zhou Lian took a full view of his useless appearance, felt a lot more balanced, and smiled softly.
Shen Wu blushed instantly.
Although he was skeptical about the fact that his sect was the number one immortal sect, after seeing Zhou Lian's "immortal technique", he still wanted to learn some skills from his master, but he, he actually I can't even lift this knife!
Chang Wuzi was blind to the end, didn't say anything, picked up the knife again and handed it to him: "It was my teacher's negligence just now, I forgot to remind Ah Wu that this knife is quite heavy."
With preparedness, Shen Wu didn't dare to underestimate the enemy any more, secretly accumulating strength, this time finally he didn't lose face again.
Really heavy, Shen Wu thought, he understood why Zhou Lian's wooden sword was so...unique.
Chang Wuzi raised his hand and waved a sword energy, cut off a pomegranate branch, looked at Shen Wu with a sad face, and said:
"Be careful when casting swords, and don't focus on hurting yourself. For the disciples of this school, casting swords is the first step to realize the Dao, so A Wuda can take his time and work slowly. Your brother also It took half a month."
Zhou Lian, who was betrayed by his incomprehensible master without realizing it, the coldness in his eyes had condensed into substance, and turned into several small knives, cutting Shen Wu's body one by one.
Children have a natural sensitivity to other people's likes and dislikes, and under Zhou Lian's comparison, Chang Wuzi's face inevitably looks a bit eye-catching, so Shen Wu should glance at Zhou Lian to wash his eyes, He received Zhou Lian's eye knife right away, and immediately felt a slight pain in his eyes.
He hurriedly lowered his eyes, looked for a gap and lost his mind, thinking, is this what father said to sow dissension?
But what good does it do Master?
What should we do at this time, like daddy said, take the initiative to resolve the conflict?
Chang Wuzi patted his head, stopped talking, and turned to Zhou Lian:
"Today there is no need to practice sword anymore, just follow me."
This is to take care of that little brat's face, I'm afraid he won't be able to let go.
Zhou Lian's anger hadn't subsided yet, and his eyes were about to roll to the sky. It was because of his self-consciousness as an adult that he didn't have an attack. He kept his face calm and followed Changwuzi without saying a word.
After entering the study, Chang Wuzi looked back and was amused:
"Why are you so stern, like an old man who sells beef in the vegetable market, who messed with you?"
Listen, listen, what a sentence without self-knowledge.
Zhou Lian was very displeased, Wu Zi, who was so tall, didn't feel the slightest bit of self-awareness, while talking, he wanted to pinch his face, in the name of helping him revitalize his facial flesh, Zhou Lian was shocked and angry, he is an adult It's over, the teeth have been replaced, how can I still be touched on the face like a child.
He dodged quite quickly, and Chang Wuzi really took a chance when he was not on guard. He was stunned for a moment, then retracted his hand as if nothing had happened, and began to preach:
"Awu has just arrived, and there is no one else in the family. As a teacher and an elder, there is always a gap between him and him. Lian'er treats him better on weekdays, okay?" After all, he received so much money from others.
Zhou Lian looked away calmly, and said in a low voice, "Yes."
Hearing this, Chang Wuzi knew that it meant "not good". He was also very distressed because the elder apprentice had such a bad impression of the younger apprentice. The main reason was that he had received such a large sum of money from the Shen family, so he didn't care to teach him a little bit. Zhou Lian, telling him to bully Shen Wu would have a bad conscience, but if he disciplined Zhou Lian... he thought he didn't teach Zhou Lian anything, and went out every now and then, leaving him a child at home. Qualified to discipline others?And even if he is qualified, will Zhou Lian think it's unfair that his master favors the little apprentice?
Alas, apprentice.
He took two steps on the spot and decided to let it go, but even so, he still had to say a few words:
"After entering the path of cultivation, your relationship with the world will only become weaker and weaker. As a teacher, there are only two of you as apprentices. The relationship between the two brothers and sisters is better, so we can help each other in the future, right?"
Zhou Lian didn't take it seriously, Shen Wu didn't reach his chest when he was standing, would he expect a short and stupid kid to help him?Thinking of this, he couldn't help showing a little bit on his face, he was too lazy to argue with Chang Wuzi, he was bored, and he didn't intend to say what he was thinking, but just gave another "hmm" lightly.
Very perfunctory.
Changwuzi was very melancholy, but that's the end of the story, it's useless to say more.He had no choice but to stop, looked at Shen Wu in the yard, and planned to be a half-deaf-mute person in the future.
Zhou Lian also looked outside, and happened to see Shen Wu gritted his teeth and raised the knife with both hands, chopping down on the wood. His wrists trembled as if halfway down, and the movement of the knife lost control, and it fell straight down, stopping at the waist. Slashing on the pomegranate wood, the tip of the knife hooked up like a broken bamboo... sank into the ground.
Immediately, he forgot the master's instructions, smiled happily, and said in a low voice, "Is he chopping wood?"
Chang Wuzi was speechless, but fortunately, although he had been fasting for many years, he still ate more salt than Zhou Lian, so he rationally suppressed the blank "You were the same way back then".
The child seemed to be frightened too, and took a step back in a panic. Because his hand was numb from the shock, he took a while to hold the handle of the knife and exerted force.
... didn't pull out | come out.
Zhou Lian couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.
Shen Wu heard it and knew he was laughing at him.No matter how clever he was, he was only seven years old after all, so he was inevitably confused in the face of this situation, helplessly blushing under Zhou Lian's laughter.
After Zhou Lian finished laughing, he restrained his expression in time, like a serious person, but after a short while, he added a sentence in a light tone:
"Junior brother, our house does not lack firewood."
It is quite suspected that watching the excitement is not a big deal.
Chang Wuzi looked at the big apprentice who was indifferent and arrogant, and then looked at the younger apprentice who was blushing from being bullied but still dared not speak up, he was so worried that he added a few gray hairs in an instant.
There were no other living people in the small courtyard, so he, the master, had to play the role of He Xini himself.He first reprimanded Zhou Lian superficially:
"You are a senior brother, you should be more prudent."
Turning to Shen Wu again, he opened his mouth to speak, but was at a loss for words for a moment, held back for a while, and said something mysteriously:
"Awu, don't worry, it doesn't matter if you chop it up, you can change it to another one, and it can be used as firewood."
Shen Wu: "..."
