Tao is ruthless

Shen Changce practiced his sword in the plum forest. The three-foot-long sword rolled up plum blossoms and snow, flowing with his body.Su Nongqing came over with a bucket of water behind him, but Shen Changce didn't stop him, the long sword pointed at Su Nongqing's face, plum blossoms or snow covered her.

Shen Changce was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Junior Sister, are you alright?"

Su Nongqing brushed off the remaining flowers and snow from her body, and said with a smile, "It's all right. Senior brother gave me a nice gift, asking me to smell the fragrance of plum blossoms."

Shen Changce smiled embarrassedly. Seeing Su Nongqing carrying the water, he asked, "What are you carrying the water for?"

Su Nongqing said: "I want to tidy up the room. Since I have joined Master's sect, I want to live here for a long time. I want to live comfortably."

Shen Changce thought so too, he and Shen Wuchun are both men, they don't care about food, clothing and housing, but Su Nongqing is a woman, and her daughter's family is always more refined.

"Let me clean it up for you." Shen Changce said, "I'll treat you as a senior brother and make amends for you."

Su Nongqing responded with a smile, "Then thank you, brother."

There are not so many men and women in the rivers and lakes. Shen Changce and Su Nongqing helped each other and cleaned up the house in a short time.Su Nongqing also went outside and picked a few plum blossoms to put in the vase.

Shen Changce took a look, although there were not many things in the house, it was filled with the exquisite ingenuity of his daughter's family everywhere.There was a copper stove in the room, and Su Nongqing picked two incense pills from the sachet she carried with her and threw them in. The room was filled with a warm and fragrant aroma.

When the tidying up was almost done, Shen Changce left the house, and the two of them rested on the porch, chatting casually.

Shen Changce told Su Nongqing what Shen Wuchun said, and said, "The Zhemei swordsmanship is too overbearing. When you start practicing, you can't carry the shadow of other swordsmanship. But if you practice it at the sixth level or above, you must use other swordsmanship. Only by feeding each other can there be benefits, and only when you practice at the eighth level or above can you integrate and integrate the strengths of a hundred schools of thought, and it is even more regrettable that ordinary people will spend their entire lives if they want to practice at the sixth level."

Shen Changce said: "I heard from my master that in the early years when the population on the mountain was prosperous, there were many disciples with average talents who spent their entire lives unable to comprehend the Zhemei swordsmanship, and finally died of anger."

Su Nongqing also sighed, "People always say that hard work can make up for weakness, but talent is always a gap, separating geniuses and ordinary people. This gap is especially obvious in Zhemei swordsmanship."

Su Nongqing lowered her brows, and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes. She finally went to Fuyu Mountain and worshiped Shen Wuchun as her teacher, so she encountered such a natural barrier.

"Junior Sister, Junior Sister, don't cry." When Shen Changce saw Su Nongqing crying, he was extremely flustered, and frantically comforted Su Nongqing.

Su Nongqing wiped away the tears from her face, and looked at Shen Changce, "Senior brother, I want to see what Zhemei swordsmanship looks like."

Shen Changce stared at Su Nongqing's youthful face like a lotus, and nodded solemnly.He stood up, drew his saber, and stood in the open space among the plum trees, concentrating on his resolve.

As soon as he moved, Su Nongqing felt the harmony between Shen Changce and the long sword in his hand. That kind of sword is not only a person's full attention, but also smooth and thoughtful between sword moves, powerful and free.

Shen Changce showed Su Nongqing all the sword moves of the first four layers of the Zhemei swordsmanship, and also deliberately showed the footwork and body skills, all of which were carefully recorded by Su Nongqing.

Withdrawing the sword, Su Nongqing stood up, looked at Shen Changce very excitedly, and said, "Senior brother, you are really amazing. None of the so-called young talents I have seen can pass thirty strokes under your hands! "

Shen Changce patted his head, feeling a little embarrassed, he didn't have many contacts on a daily basis, dumb girls didn't speak, and Shen Wuchun seldom praised him, let alone such a charming girl who looked at him with burning eyes.

Returning to Su Nongqing, Shen Changce said to her: "If you want to practice the Zhemei swordsmanship, there is no way out." He told Su Nongqing about the person Shen Wuchun told him, and said, "My master said that this person can be together with you." Within a year, I will practice Zhemei swordsmanship to the ninth level, and when we find him in the future, we can ask him to teach the swordsmanship."

Su Nongqing was thoughtful, "Such an amazingly talented person shouldn't be unknown."

Shen Changce looked at Su Nongqing, and Su Nongqing said, "I've heard people say that within a hundred years in the Jianghu, there have been two people with extraordinary talents. One of them is a master, who picks eight sects with swords, and people in the Jianghu call him Zhemeijian. It's the big devil who caused trouble in Jianghu ten years ago, named Fu Jiu."

"Fu Jiu?" Shen Changce said, "I've never heard of this name."

"How come you haven't heard of it?" Su Nongqing was very surprised, "Everyone in the world said that ten years ago, it was Master who defeated Fu Jiu and prevented him from harming the martial arts world."

Shen Changce really didn't know, and Su Nongqing thought it was justifiable when he thought about it, "There is very little information about Fu Jiu in Jianghu. related news."

"First," Su Nongqing said, "Fu Jiu is a devil. He once caused great disturbances in the Jianghu. Second, he has a peerless secret book in his hand. Those who get this secret book can dominate the martial arts world. Third," Su Nongqing looked at Shen Chang Ce, "That's what I just told you, it was the master who defeated Fu Jiu, and he was imprisoned by the martial arts leader later."

"As for who Fu Jiu is, what sect he came from, how he got the secret book in his hand, and how he was defeated by the master, I don't know anything about it."

Shen Changce thought deeply, "Is he still alive? How can we find him?"

"He's still alive." Su Nongqing said, "Brother, do you know that the martial arts conference will be held in Luoyang on the third day of March next year?"

Shen Changce said, "I've heard of it."

"The martial arts conference is held once every ten years, and every time it is for the change of the leader of the martial arts alliance." Su Nongqing looked at Shen Changce, "This time, the winner of the martial arts meeting is not only qualified to be the leader of the martial arts alliance, but also has the full power to deal with the devil Fu Jiu. Get that peerless martial arts secret book from him."

Su Nongqing excitedly grabbed Shen Changce's hand, "Brother, you should go to the martial arts conference. You can fight for the position of the leader of the martial arts!"

Ripples appeared in Shen Changce's heart, he was also considered a young talent, why didn't he want to be like Shen Wuchun, young and well-known in the martial arts world.

In the evening, Shen Wuchun asked Shen Changce to go to the small pavilion by the cliff. Shen Changce stood in the middle of the open space, the moonlight was like water, and a layer of silver sand was sprinkled on him and his sword.

Shen Wuchun sat in the pavilion, instructing Shen Changce to practice sword.

After a while, Shen Changce stopped to rest.He put away his sword and walked into the pavilion.Shen Wuchun poured him tea, Shen Changce sat down beside him, and asked, "Master, how do you see me recently?"

Shen Wuchun took a sip of tea and said, "Not bad."

Shen Wuchun seldom praised people, so saying such a sentence is already very good, Shen Changce was proud, and said: "Then when does Master think I can break through the fifth level?"

Shen Wuchun said: "As long as you put in enough effort, there will naturally be results."

Shen Changce felt that he was perfunctory, "Am I not hardworking? I do nothing but practice swords every day. When Master was my age, he had already created a storm in the Jianghu."

Shen Wuchun was a little speechless, did he enter the rivers and lakes to stir up wind and rain?

"Master," Shen Changce said again: "I heard from my junior sister that tomorrow, on the third day of March, there will be a martial arts conference held every ten years, and a new martial arts leader will be elected at that time. Master, do you want to be the leader of the martial arts alliance?"

"think."

Shen Changce was surprised, he thought that people like Shen Wuchun would not care about the name of the leader of the martial arts, so could it be that Shen Wuchun is also a person who pursues fame and fortune?

Shen Wuchun said that he wanted to, but his face was very calm, and there was no hint of ambition.

"However, the purpose of the Martial Arts Conference is to select talents of the younger generation. People who participated in the last Martial Arts Conference cannot participate in this one. So now, the heads of famous schools in the world are not allowed to participate, and neither am I." Shen Wuchun said lightly: "If you have the heart, maybe you can try it."

This is the first time Shen Changce has heard that there is such a rule in the martial arts conference.According to Shen Wuchun, the Martial Arts League issued 99 cyan tokens and distributed them to each school and faction.Another nine hundred and ninety-nine white tokens were distributed to those who had no connections.

Those who hold the token can participate in the martial arts conference and compete for the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance.Because there are so many tokens and they can be traded and bought, there is very little desperation for one token.And the participants are all recorded in the book, to a certain extent, it is also for the purpose of counting the names and surnames in the rivers and lakes.

Shen Changce was overwhelmed when he heard it. For the first time, he realized that his master, Shen Wuchun, was also a person who had been in the Jianghu. He might not abide by some rules in the Jianghu, but he was not ignorant.

Shen Wuchun glanced at Shen Changce and asked, "Do you want to participate in the martial arts conference?"

Shen Changce nodded.

Shen Wuchun looked at him fixedly, and suddenly smiled.He always looked as cold as ice, and with this smile, the ice and snow melted, and everything revived, as if the whole winter would be full of vitality for his smile.

"Okay," Shen Wuchun said, "I hope you can get the position of martial arts leader for me."

Shen Wuchun looked at Shen Changce with those shallow eyes, and Shen Changce was almost addicted to it. He thought, if a person like Shen Wuchun said he wanted something, there would be countless people scrambling to give him what he wanted.And such a person, a treasure, belongs to him.

Shen Changce nodded heavily, and he saw a light smile on the corner of Shen Wuchun's mouth.
