Chapter 121: Rare Bravery in Lifetime
The hunchbacked mute old man raised the cane in his hand very slowly and placed it horizontally in front of the little mute Lin Chan.
His expression seemed to say, "Give it a try."
Lin Chan raised her little hand and tentatively touched the black cane. Suddenly, a magical scene appeared in front of her eyes, and she couldn't help but take a step back.
Lin Chan was timid and was frightened by the fleeting scene when he just touched the crutch.
The mute old man seemed not to have expected her to have such a big reaction and wanted to reach out to support her, but his movements were too slow. By the time he raised his hand, Lin Chan had already stood firm.
Just now, when Lin Chan's fingertips touched the old black cane, she saw a sword!
A crooked sword!
She saw the cane in the old man’s hand… no, it was a sword, unsheathed!
To be exact, what she saw was a very common sword move - sword drawing!
But this sword-drawing technique seems to be different.
It seems very slow, but in fact it is extremely fast!
This is a very contradictory feeling. The movements are obviously slow, but the moment the sword is unsheathed, you can't see it clearly at all!
Just like what is said in The Promise: "True speed is invisible."
Lin Chan looked up at the mute old man. He still had a kind and gentle smile on his face, but his movements were shaky and slow. He looked like an elderly man with slow movements, except that he was too slow.
But it is obvious that as the gentleman's former servant, he is not an ordinary old man after all.
The slowest man wields the fastest sword .
The mute old man put down the cane in his hand and cast a questioning look at Lin Chan, as if to say, "Did you see it?"
Lin Chan nodded, then shook his head.
She did see it, but she didn't see it clearly.
In fact, this is all thanks to the fact that she was born with a sword talent and is extremely sensitive to the sword. If it were someone else, they would not even know that the sword has been unsheathed!
Because it is so fast that your eyes cannot see it, and so fast that your spiritual sense cannot perceive it in time!
No matter how naive Lin Chan was, she knew that the old man was teaching her something.
Although she didn't understand whether the old man was teaching her sword moves or something else, in short, he was definitely helping her.
So, Lin Chan was particularly well-behaved and sensible and bowed to the old man.
Zhuge Laifu was watching from the side, he smiled naively and said, "Xiao Lin Chan, remember what you just saw, it will be helpful to you in the future. Master Gui watched your master uncle grow up, and he was also your master uncle's sword teacher. He taught you this sword-drawing technique, and you will understand it in the future."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chan nodded as if he understood, not quite. He did not expect that the old man would give him such a great gift, so he quickly bent down and bowed foolishly.
The old man accepted Lin Chan's first bow calmly, because he taught her a sword and he deserved the bow.
But how can I bow twice in a row? I am just an old servant of the master.
How can a young lady in the family bow to an old servant continuously? I can't bear it.
So he walked over and slowly helped Lin Chan up, then pointed in the direction of Zangshan, indicating that they could start climbing.
Before Lin Chan left, he gently patted Lin Chan's thin shoulder, just like he did before Lu Xun climbed the mountain.
He was like an old butler, gently brushing off the smoke and dust on the clothes of the young master and young lady.
If Lu Xun was present, he would be able to tell that this was the old mute's [blessing] to the young mute.
At the beginning, the dumb old man gave him a luck buff, which increased his luck by 1 within 3 hours!
The old man's movements at that time were exactly the same as they are now.
Lin Chan was unaware of anything at the moment. He just smiled shyly at the old man, then turned his head to look at the legendary Zangshan, his little mouth slightly opened in amazement.
This is a mountain completely shrouded in fog. It is covered with thick fog all the time. From the foot of the mountain to the top, there is fog, making it difficult to see clearly.
Although the little mute had seen a lot of the world and gained a lot of knowledge after following her master out of Qingling City, every time she saw such a new and shocking scene, she couldn't help but open her mouth and let out a silent exclamation, saying in her heart: "Wow~"
The mute old man raised his cane, and the black cane tapped the ground lightly. A translucent ripple spread out, activating Zangshan 's mountain protection formation.
A gap opened up in the mist, revealing a portion of the steps in the mountain.
Lin Chan glanced at Zhuge Lai Fu, and when she saw Third Uncle nodded, she trotted towards the stairs, feeling a little nervous inside.
Since she stepped into the world of cultivation, this was the first time she left her master and practiced on her own.
She was timid by nature, so it was inevitable that she would feel a little panicked when she came to such a magical and mysterious place.
Before coming to Zangshan, Lu Xun had already told her about his experience in Zangshan, and told her to just go forward boldly, as the magic weapon would appear starting from the 99th step .
She kept going up, and soon she couldn't even see the road behind her because it was shrouded in fog.
She was so thin and small that she was inconspicuous in the mountains, but in fact, many people in the entire Demon Sect were paying attention to her, but she herself was not aware of it.
For example, Shen Yan and others started gambling again at the suggestion of charity gambling king Yue Heshan.
For example, her third senior brother who was waiting for her at the foot of the mountain.
For example, the second senior sister on the back mountain, Mao Nanbei, and even the master might be paying attention.
Only her master Lu Xun, due to his low realm and shallow spiritual awareness, was trapped in the back mountain and could not sense anything...
It feels like everyone else has telescopes, but he has nothing and he’s also shortsighted!
But he has confidence in his little cicada.
When Lin Chan reached the 99th step, all the magic swords began to vibrate, just like when Lu Xun climbed the mountain.
But if Lu Xun was present, he would definitely be able to see the difference.
When he climbed the mountain, these magic swords trembled because they longed for the small sword in Lu Xun's sword heart.
But now they are trembling only because they like Lin Chan, want to be close to her, and want her to take them away.
Lin Chan was frightened at first, then after looking at them, he bowed slightly to them as if apologizing, and then continued to walk up.
As she walked, for some reason, she gradually became less nervous.
Perhaps it was because I thought of what Lu Xun said.
Lin Chan is a very inferior and timid girl, so she always keeps her head down.
Because she is a tuberculosis patient.
An orphan.
A mute.
Her life is worthless.
But such a person walked into her life, that person was so gentle and so kind.
Once a person receives a little favor, he will feel that he is valuable.
She is still a girl with some low self-esteem, but she has gained some courage.
My master told me to take down the sword on the mountain that he thought was the best.
Then you must take it down!
…
Lin Chan began to walk quickly up the mountain. There was a trace of courage rarely seen in her thin little body.
…
