Venomous Snake Lord Chapter 9
Ximen Changfeng said: "Nangong Cheng, this is the last lesson I will teach you. I have taught you everything I can teach you. Master will lead you in. Practice depends on the individual. How far can you go on the road of swordsmanship?
It’s up to you to decide.”
Nangong Cheng knelt in front of Ximen Changfeng, kowtowed three times, and said, "Without Master, I would still be a beggar. I would like to thank Master for his great kindness!" After Nangong Cheng finished kowtowing, he did not see Ximen Changfeng.
Feng stood up and searched around when suddenly Ximen Changfeng's voice came from the air: "Nangong Cheng, I have to go out for something, and I will leave Cuizhu Peak to you."
"Yes, Master, I hope you will come back soon!" After saying this, Nangong Cheng stood up and left.
Three days later in the morning, Cuizhu Peak was shrouded in thick fog, making it difficult to see anyone ten steps away.
Today, Nangong Cheng came to Ye Xiuying's residence and had tea with Ye Xiuying. In fact, Nangong Cheng came to tell Ye Xiuying that he could no longer teach Ximen Zhuifeng swordsmanship, but seeing that Ye Xiuying was so kind to him, he didn't know how to speak.
Ye Xiuying stood by and looked at Nangong Cheng's sad face. Then she smiled and said, "Does Cheng'er have something to tell me today?"
"Master's wife, I..." Nangong Cheng's words have not yet been spoken.
Ximen Zhuifeng walked in and said to Nangong Cheng pleasantly: "Junior brother, have you learned any new moves recently?"
Nangong Chengdao: "No."
Ximen Zhuifeng said: "Three days ago, my father came to find you before he left. He must have taught you swordsmanship. I am your senior brother, so you should stop hiding from me."
Nangong Cheng sighed and said, "Master came to see me that day, but he just told me not to teach you swordsmanship anymore."
Ximen Zhuifeng looked at Nangong Cheng.
Nangong Cheng smiled and said, "Master has known for a long time that I secretly taught you swordsmanship."
Ximen Zhuifeng said: "Impossible! It must be that you don't want to teach me swordsmanship, so you told father!"
Nangong Chengdao: "Whatever you say, I won't teach you swordsmanship anymore anyway."
Ximen Zhuifeng stood up angrily and prepared to go out.
Nangong Chengdao: "Master gave me a message before he left, and I will pass it on to you."
Ximen Zhuifeng said: "What are you talking about?"
Nangong Chengdao: "Master said he only taught us sword moves, and what we understand ourselves is swordsmanship. Also, master's swordsmanship will not be hidden. If you don't understand it in the future, you can go directly to master to ask for sword lessons.
Fa, don’t peek at me practicing my sword again.”
"Nangong Cheng, let's see what's so great about you!" Ximen Zhuifeng glanced at Nangong Cheng and continued walking.
Nangong Chengdao: "In addition, I also have something to say to you."
Ximen Zhuifeng stopped.
Nangong Chengdao: "Students of swordsmanship should first understand the essence of swordsmanship and memorize sword moves, so that the swordsmanship can be used with both spirit and form. Your way of learning swordsmanship is completely reversed. I suggest you don't ask me for new swordsmanship now.
Now that you know the moves, you should practice the moves that your master taught you and the moves that I taught you, and see if you can understand the essence of swordsmanship. Also, you'd better not practice swordsmanship with a bamboo sword. In your current situation, you can't
If it’s suitable to use a bamboo sword, it’s better to practice with a real sword!”
Ximen Zhuifeng nodded and looked at Ye Xiuying. The meaning was very clear. He hoped that Ye Xiuying could persuade Nangong Cheng to continue teaching him swordsmanship. Because Ximen Zhuifeng knew very well that his understanding was not as good as Nangong Cheng's, no matter how he understood it.
It is impossible for Nangong Cheng to realize as much as Nangong Cheng, so I still hope that Nangong Cheng will teach him swordsmanship.
Ye Xiuying and Ximen Zhuifeng communicated through their eyes and understood Ximen Zhuifeng's thoughts. Ye Xiuying nodded and accepted the matter.
Only then did Ximen Zhuifeng leave with peace of mind.
Ye Xiuying said to Nangong Chengdao:
"Hurry up and drink the tea! The tea is getting cold!"
Nangong Cheng nodded, picked up the tea cup and drank tea.
Ye Xiuying poured tea for Nangong Cheng, and while adding tea, she said: "Are you really not going to teach your senior brother sword moves?"
Nangong Cheng knew that Ye Xiuying was about to start persuading, but he did not want to disobey the master, so he said: "Master's wife, I used to beg for food with my grandfather and met such a family. The family was very rich, and the son was allowed to do whatever he wanted. When he encountered difficulties
, parents help their sons solve difficulties; when encountering danger, parents help their sons avoid danger; when their sons break the law, parents find ways to help their sons escape the crime. Master, do you think this son will have a future?"
Ye Xiuying said: "Of course not. Parents will have to leave their son one day, and it is better for the son to be independent."
Nangong Cheng nodded and said: "Yes! There are some things that you can't always rely on others. There are some things that you should do by yourself. Just like my senior brother now, it is not good for him to rely on me to learn swordsmanship.
Master, you don’t want me to follow you all your life, right?"
Ye Xiuying nodded, immediately fell silent, and swallowed back what she was about to say.
Noon, green bamboo forest.
The sun is already quite strong at noon, but in the green bamboo forest full of bamboos, it doesn't feel hot at all, because the bamboos in the green bamboo forest block most of the sun's rays and cast a large amount of shade.
Ximen Zhuifeng followed Nangong Cheng's advice and practiced swordsmanship with a real sword in the green bamboo forest. When he practiced again, the power of the swordsmanship was indeed much greater than that of using a bamboo sword. Ximen Zhuifeng smiled and thought: "
This Nangong Cheng is really powerful, how does he know that I should practice swordsmanship with a real sword?" Ximen Zhuifeng was thinking about this question in his mind, but before he could figure it out, he heard a majestic voice: "Boy,
Is this Cuizhu Peak, the residence of the Sword God Ximen Changfeng?"
Ximen Zhuifeng was startled. When he looked again, he saw a tall and muscular man with a sinewy face walking into the green bamboo forest. He carried a knife and a sword on his back.
This sound not only startled Ximen Zhuifeng, but also made Nangong Cheng, who was at Ye Xiuying's house, feel something was wrong. People with good Qinggong skills usually have very sensitive hearing.
Nangong Chengdao: "Master's wife, someone is coming."
Ye Xiuying nodded and said: "I heard that sound too, and the voice sounded like it was my senior brother Liu Guanying."
Nangong Chengdao: "What is Liu Guanying doing here?"
Ye Xiuying said: "Maybe I'm here to compete with your master."
Nangong Chengdao: "Master's wife, let me go and take a look."
Ye Xiuying nodded and told Nangong Chengdao: "Cheng'er, remember, never compete with my senior brother."
Nangong Cheng asked: "Master's wife, why can't you compete with Liu Guanying?"
Ye Xiuying said: "Don't ask so many questions. In short, you can't compete with him, otherwise you will be in trouble."
"Yes, Master." Nangong Cheng walked a few steps, then suddenly came back and said, "Master, what if Liu Guanying insists on competing with me?"
Ye Xiuying thought for a while and said: "If you can't defeat him, use light kung fu to escape. If he is not your opponent, after you win the martial arts contest with him, for the sake of my wife, you must spare his life."
Nangong Cheng nodded and said: "I understand." After saying that, he used Qinggong to fly towards the bamboo forest.
In the bamboo forest, Ximen Zhuifeng and the strong man started a conversation.
Ximen Zhuifeng said: "Yes! This is Cuizhu Peak."
The strong man laughed for a while and said: "I found it! I'm finally here! Ximen Changfeng, I lost to you twenty years ago, I must come to you to get it back today!" Then he said to Ximen Zhuifeng: "Quickly.
Tell your master, Ximen Changfeng, to come out and die!"
When Ximen Zhuifeng heard the person in front of him talking about his father, he felt angry and said, "Who are you?"
The strong man said: "I
It’s Liu Guanying, the head of the Emei Sect. I came here today to compete with the Sword God. I want to kill the Sword God. From now on, there will be no Sword God in the world! Hahahaha——”
Ximen Zhui Feng said: "My father is out, you can come back after he comes back!"
Liu Guanying snorted and said: "You're out, who are you kidding? I think it's Ximen Changfeng who doesn't want to compete with me! Well, since he doesn't want to compete with me, I'll kill his son first!" After that,
Liu Guanying drew his sword and attacked Ximen Zhui Feng.
Ximen Zhuifeng quickly blocked it with his sword.
Liu Guanying used his swords to cut each other and formed a sword spirit to attack Ximen Zhui Feng.
Ximen Zhuifeng knew that this person was coming fiercely, so he did not fight forcefully, but mainly dodged.
A smile appeared on Liu Guanying's face. He knew that Ximen Zhuifeng's swordsmanship was not as good as his, and he could win or lose in less than ten moves.
However, after ten moves between Liu Guanying and Ximen Zhuifeng, there was no winner. It was not until the fifteenth move that Liu Guanying injured Ximen Zhuifeng.
Ximen Zhuifeng fell under a thick bamboo. He spit out a mouthful of blood and sat up with his back against the bamboo.
Liu Guanying pointed his sword at Ximen Zhuifeng. He withdrew his sword a little and quickly stabbed him back, shouting: "Ximen Changfeng, if you don't come out, I will kill your son."
Nangong Cheng quickly took action, picked up a stone from the bamboo forest, and attacked Liu Guanying with all his strength. The stone was facing Liu Guanying.
Liu Guanying felt it and blocked it with his sword. The stone hit the sword with a "ding" sound. Liu Guanying said: "Who is it? Who is attacking me?"
Nangong Cheng walked up to Ximen Zhuifeng and said, "You have already defeated him, why bother to kill him again?"
Liu Guanying said: "I just want to force Ximen Changfeng to come out and fight me decisively."
Nangong Chengdao: "As the head of the Emei Sect, Master Liu, how can he not know that what my senior brother just said is the truth? You want to force my master to come out for a duel, which is just an excuse for you to kill him."
Liu Guanying was startled and said: "Were you here just now?"
Nangong Chengdao: "Not here."
Liu Guanying said: "Then how do you know the content of our conversation?"
Nangong Chengdao: "First, Master Liu has a lot of internal energy. How could I not hear him when he spoke so loudly just now? Second, my Qing Gong is pretty good. Master Liu should know that people who are good at Qing Gong generally have good hearing."
Okay, so I heard clearly what you just said."
Liu Guanying smiled and said: "Then tell me why I wanted to kill him."
Nangong Cheng looked at Liu Guanying and said, "You are over forty, and he is in his early twenties. You are worried that he will surpass you in the future, so kill him now to eliminate a rival for your future."
"Stop talking!" Liu Guanying slashed at Nangong Cheng, and a sword energy struck Nangong Cheng.
Nangong Cheng used Qinggong to dodge the sword energy, thinking: "This man's sword energy is very strong. If I fight with him, I must attack with absolute speed to win." Nangong Cheng said: "It seems like
I'm right, otherwise you wouldn't be so angry that you want to kill me." At the same time, Nangong Cheng also regretted in his heart. He thought to himself: "Master Wife, this person is so narrow-minded, I really shouldn't agree to let you spare this person.
His life. Forget it, since I have agreed to the Master’s Wife, it’s better to send him down the mountain quickly and not have to fight with him!”
Nangong Cheng said to Liu Guanying: "My master is indeed not here. If you really want to duel with him, please wait until he comes back!"
