Bamboo horse has several faces

Chapter 8 Sword Qi

Duan Songyang's height is almost the same as Ye Huai's. The two little radish heads who are only eight years old are separated by the crowd. Ye Huai jumped twice to see what happened, but he couldn't jump up to those "senior brothers" in their teens and 20s. their height.

He scratched his hair, looked left and right, there were hillsides and trees, but in the current situation, he couldn't hear them talking on the hillside, and it was too conspicuous to climb up the trees.

It wasn't that Ye Huai didn't want to take the opportunity to slip away, it was because he felt that the young master came over so aggressively, and what he was going to say might have nothing to do with him.

"Why is the young master here today?" Zhou Yan came out lazily. He was already 28, a bit taller than Duan Songyang, looked down at him with his head down, "doesn't the young master need to practice today?"

Duan Songyang raised his head slightly, his sharp eyebrows and eyes were all awe-inspiring at the moment: "Zhou Yan, did you complete the task that Elder Zhou arranged for you with the help of others?"

Zhou Yan sneered: "What does this have to do with you? I care about the new juniors, and share the advice of our family elders with the juniors to help them grow faster. Ask them, are they all willing to help? That is a task that can be directed by the great power of the transformation stage, and they can't ask for it even if they want to."

Ye Huai found a corner to nest in. After hearing the conversation between the two, he realized that he carried water every day to help Zhou Yan complete the task.

Zhou Yan has been in Disciple Garden for 20 years, and he probably listened to the public lectures taught by the masters for several rounds, but his cultivation still hasn't improved, so his family gave him a great deal during the Guiyuan Sword Sect's transformation stage. He arranged some targeted training, but unexpectedly, Zhou Yan gave these tasks to other people to complete, just to prevent others from going to class, so he could only spend time in the disciple garden with him, the "Emperor of Earth".

How stupid, Ye Huai thought.

"Everyone's way of cultivation is different," Duan Songyang said despite his young age and stature, but his words were very mature. "You should not impose the way of cultivation that was originally customized for you on others. It will harm others and not benefit yourself."

This sentence angered Zhou Yan. A few golden whips burst out from the ring in his hand and attacked Duan Songyang. The crowd exclaimed and dispersed a little. Without even coming out, a few bursts of sword energy shredded those golden whips, as easily as if cutting an ordinary rope.

"You have been blaming Elder Zhou for not giving you the magic weapon to improve your cultivation." Duan Songyang's eyes were calm, "But have you ever thought about it, even if you are really given these things, with your current cultivation, can you control it?" ?”

Ye Huai shook his head in his heart, but then he thought, maybe this is the confidence that he reached the late stage of Qi refining at the age of eight and can use the strength of sword energy to give others the confidence?

But Zhou Yan, who was in the center of the crowd, couldn't think of so much. After being slapped in the face by an eight-year-old child in public, he said angrily: "Duan Songyang, you are just a kid in the Qi refining period! What kind of swordsman genius?! What is the world's number one martial art? Don’t think everyone doesn’t know, how did Duan Yincang win the competition 30 years ago? It’s just that Hong Yanzong and Gu Zongzhu missed a move! They were already close 30 years ago. Are you sure that they will be in the competition 20 years later? Can you still beat Gu Chengliang?! Can the Guiyuan Sword Sect retain its title as the number one sword sect in the world?"

As soon as he said this, the scene suddenly fell silent. Ye Huai sat on the upside-down bucket. Through the gap between the crowd, he saw that Duan Songyang was still expressionless.

"This...you can't say it like that...the strength of the Sword Master Duan is still unquestionable..."

"That's right, and you are also a disciple of the Guiyuan Sword Sect, and Elder Zhou is still at Suyang Peak."

Someone was trying to be a peacemaker, but Zhou Yan seemed determined to tear himself apart from the Guiyuan Sword Sect.

"Come on, what kind of kendo genius do you think he is?" Zhou Yan pointed at Duan Songyang, "The Duan family is exhausted! It is because Duan Yincang is about to die, so he hastily put on a prodigy hat and pushed him out! Yes , At the age of five, he induced Qi into his body, and at the age of six he reached the Qi refining stage, which sounds very strong, but he has stopped in the Qi refining stage for three years!"

"It's normal for three years in the Qi refining period..." Someone finally couldn't help it, "How difficult is it to cultivate to cross the big realm?"

"Yeah, let's talk about it... There are a lot of people here who haven't entered the Qi refining period..."

"Oh, it's normal for ordinary people," Zhou Yan sneered, "but isn't he a prodigy created by the Duan family? The prodigy stayed in the Qi refining period for three years, so you have to ask how he cultivated in that Qi refining period back then." Yes! Did you use some other method? Otherwise, how could Gu Heng build the foundation in three years?!"

As soon as he said this, there was a gasp in the surroundings.

"Gu Heng established the foundation?"

"Gu Heng? The young master of the Hongyan Sect? I remember that he also entered Qi refining three years ago, and he has already established a foundation with the young master?"

Seeing Duan Songyang's hand trembling for a moment, Ye Huai probably understood in his heart.

The Hongyan Sect and the Guiyuan Sword Sect should be the top sword cultivators in the cultivation world, but because the sword masters in each sword master competition are all from the Guiyuan Sword Sect, the name of the world's number one sword cultivator sect has always been On the head of the Guiyuan sword style.

But now Hongyanzong has a suzerain who almost defeated Duan Jiansheng first, and then a young suzerain who entered the foundation building stage before Duan Songyang. No matter whether it is from the existing strength or the new strength, it seems that Hongyanzong will soon surpass it. look.

but……

Ye Huai looked at Zhou Yan, what did this person want to do to make the situation like this?

"But these are not the reasons for you to bully other disciples to help you with the task," Duan Songyang said, "You waste other people's time and progress in their cultivation, and you cannot make Guiyuan Sword Sect stronger, but instead delay Guiyuan The hind legs of the disciples of the Sword Sect."

Ye Huai paused watching the excitement, and he blinked, Duan Songyang, this is...

Zhou Yan laughed when he heard the words: "Who are you complaining about? Is that kid named Ye Huai?"

Being called out suddenly, Ye Huai had no choice but to stand up. Sure enough, the next moment he heard Zhou Yan shout: "Ye Huai, come out!"

The crowd around gave way to Ye Huai. Ye Huai saw two people at the end of the crowd, one tall and one short. He met the eyes of the boy in white. anxiety.

Duan Songyang lowered his eyes, covering up the emotions in his eyes.

Zhou Yan said impatiently, "What are you dawdling for?"

Ye Huai burst into a flattering smile: "Senior Brother Zhou, alas, I just woke up and my reaction is slow."

He walked over in a straight line and stood beside Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan patted him on the shoulder, looked around and said: "Everyone is a good disciple of Disciple Garden, but it's a pity that he was wasted here by the rigid rules of the Guiyuan Sword Sect, and his cultivation has made no progress, but the Sword Cultivation Sect has more than one He belongs to the Yuanjian Sect family, and the power of the Hongyan Sect should not be underestimated now. My grandfather and Elder Zhou of Suyang Peak will soon take me to the Hongyan Sect’s residence peak. Anyone who is willing to go with us can get With the title of Yifeng disciple, officially start the practice of swordsmanship!"

It turned out that Elder Zhou was leaving the Guiyuan Sword Sect this week, so Zhou Yan came here to help dig people out.

The disciples in the Disciple Garden are either rich or noble, and they are more or less influential. This is why the Guiyuan Sword Sect has so many excellent resources. Elder Zhou, who is leaving now, wants to help dig some disciples through Zhou Yan Yuan's people, no, to be precise, they are trying to draw the forces behind them to leave Guiyuan Sword Sect and join Hongyanzong.

Just because the strength of the Guiyuan Sword Sect's sword master is about to be overtaken by others, neither the head disciple nor the parent and child seem to have the strength to seize the next sword master.

There is no successor, no successor.

"Ye Huai," Zhou Yan asked confidently, "will you come with me? Let's not waste time here!"

In the eyes of everyone, Ye Huai is the existence of "Young Master Duan is unwilling to even deliver it to the door", but he still has the label of "Duan Family" on him, so if even he, the "Duan Family" chooses to be with Zhou Yan If we walk together, other people will naturally feel flustered.

Ye Huai looked at Duan Songyang, but Duan Songyang didn't look at him, he was still so calm, as if his choice had nothing to do with him.

However, just when Zhou Yan thought that Ye Huai would definitely agree, Ye Huai said with a smile: "What are you doing with me? Continue to carry water?"

Zhou Yan was taken aback, but when Ye Huai saw Duan Songyang's eyes suddenly fall on him, there was a hint of surprise in those calm eyes.

Surprise... Does it take such a big reaction?

Ye Huai couldn't figure it out. He was just a disciple who had just started for more than ten days. Even if he carried some blood of the Duan family, but the Ye family's dynasty had changed for so many generations, and the blood was so rare that it couldn't be more rare. His choice , is it so important?

Zhou Yan frowned: "What do you mean?"

Ye Huai nimbly got out from under him, stood in front of Duan Songyang, faced Zhou Yan, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhou, oh, no, since you are leaving the Guiyuan Sword Sect now, you should be called Brother Zhou, thank you Brother Zhou for wanting to take my younger brother away, but I really feel that carrying water is everywhere, and it is the same in Guiyuan Sword Sect, and it is similar in any sect there. My younger brother came from the mortal world, There is a saying in the mortal world, "The master leads the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual." It can be seen that the practice of cultivation depends on the individual's hard work, otherwise it will not live up to it. It is the same in any place. Doesn't it stink off the plate? "

Ye Huai compared Zhou Yan to a pile of shit, which made Zhou Yan furious, and the treasure ring in his hand turned again. Duan Songyang immediately reached out to protect Ye Huai, but he didn't want Ye Huai to ignore it, and pressed Duan Songyang with one hand , picked up a wooden branch from the ground with the other hand and seemed to wave it casually, and the golden whip transformed from aura suffered the fate of being crushed again!

The surroundings became quiet for a moment, and even Duan Songyang looked at Ye Huai in disbelief.

"Sword... Sword Qi? No... Impossible..."

"He... isn't he just getting started?"

"He hasn't even reached the Qi refining period! How could he be able to swing the sword energy?!"

"Didn't he just participate in the two-day lecture on scriptures and swords?"

Zhou Yan was also confused by his hand. After all, how could a child who had just learned how to draw qi into his body be able to wield sword qi? !

However, Ye Huai looked at the wooden branch in his hand, and then easily threw it away as if he didn't care: "Hey, isn't this very simple? It seems that there is no need to go to the Hongyan Sect, it's good to learn here."

As soon as this sentence came out, there was an instant uproar around, and Zhou Yan's face became embarrassed.

And Ye Huai patted the ashes on his hands, pulled Duan Songyang's wrist, and said to Zhou Yan: "Thank you Brother Zhou for your teaching these days, and wish Brother Zhou a happy cultivation in Hongyan Sect."

After speaking, he dragged Duan Songyang away from the gate of the disciple garden, leaving those comments, wonders, and suspicions behind him.
