Volume 10 Seven Weapons: Angry Pony Chapter 296 Little Old Man
Top of the mountain.
The mountain road is not easy, and it becomes more difficult the higher you go.
The man following Liu Changjie looked ordinary and unremarkable. His movements were just as ordinary as he was, plain and clumsy.
But the speed is incredibly fast, beyond imagination.
The two people were originally just two inconspicuous dots in the distance, but after two or three breaths, their figures could gradually be distinguished.
After a while, Su Weiyun could clearly see the vague outline of the person coming and knew that it was Liu Changjie.
Su Weiyun just waited quietly, and the two men flew up at an appalling and terrifying speed.
Treat the mountain road as flat land and turn the rugged road into a highway.
It was only a short while after Su Weiyun saw them that the two of them were already standing above the white clouds and falling petals.
"Do you remember him?"
Liu Changjie pointed at the man next to him who had a round face, a friendly beard and a big mouth and said.
Su Weiyun thought carefully for a moment and shook his head.
He actually didn't remember meeting this person.
Because this person is really ordinary. His expression is very honest, his eyes are not sharp, and the clothes he wears are still very old-fashioned. He is just an ordinary old man.
If his clothes were not of excellent quality and he was not so neat and tidy, Su Weiyun would have mistaken him for the butler of some wealthy family.
Liu Changjie smiled and said, "Look, Su Weiyun can't even remember who you are. It seems that you are indeed living a very successful life."
The old man smiled and said, "Not many people in the world remember me, because I am nameless."
Liu Changjie added: "But no matter what, Su Weiyun should always remember you well. If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have been in danger time and time again, on the verge of life and death."
Although Liu Changjie's tone was flat, the meaning behind his words was shocking - the dangers that Su Weiyun encountered were actually related to this ordinary-looking and unremarkable ?
Su Weiyun's face changed.
The old man was unmoved, and said, "The man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. Once a person has stepped into the arena and gained fame, he can no longer retreat."
"In the past, Zhuge Liang, the Crouching Dragon, lived in seclusion in the mountains. He spent many peaceful years there, but Liu Bei still invited him out after three visits. Some people cannot escape even if they want to."
Su Weiyun couldn't help but ask: "What are you talking about?"
Liu Changjie put away his usual casual look and said solemnly, "The man next to me is Lord Longxu of the Qinglong Society. He was the first one to 'discover' you."
"Strictly speaking, it was him who led you into the Azure Dragon Society and sent you to the 'July 15th' branch."
The old man looked at Su Weiyun with a pair of eyes as deep as an ancient well. After a long while, he slowly said, "He is indeed a man of extraordinary merit."
He suddenly took a step forward, stretched out his hand, and slapped Su Weiyun lightly.
Su Weiyun raised his palm to meet the attack, but felt that the opponent's palm was soft and powerless, but his true energy could not penetrate even a little bit.
The two palms touched only slightly and then separated.
The old man retracted his hands into his sleeves and returned to his normal appearance.
"Are you practicing the long-lost 'Wedding Dress Magic Skill'?"
He just lightly exchanged palm strikes with Su Weiyun, and unexpectedly revealed the origin of Su Weiyun's martial arts.
Without waiting for Su Weiyun to answer, the old man exclaimed: "Neither withered nor flourishing, seemingly dead but alive. Hiding the true energy in the void, absorbing the internal force into the invisible..."
"The young woman with yellow silk is absolutely wonderful!"
Liu Changjie laughed and said, "It's wonderful, but what about the yellow silk young woman? Have you also learned the tricks of the scholar?"
The old man said solemnly: "Books contain golden houses and beautiful women. I have always wanted to learn from the great scholars, but I have never achieved anything."
When he speaks, his tone is sometimes literary, but he also appears to be very humble and easy-going.
It is almost incomprehensible how such a humble elder could scare away the Thunder God Jin Kaijia?
Liu Changjie said: "You have read a lot of books and know a lot of martial arts. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to call out the name of "Wedding Dress Magical Skill" right away."
Liu Changjie rarely complimented the old man.
The old man laughed without any arrogance, but looked at Su Weiyun gently and sincerely.
"If you follow me to practice martial arts, within ten years, there will only be a handful of people in the world who can rival you."
He actually opened his mouth and extended an invitation to Su Weiyun, inviting him to learn martial arts from him.
——Even though Su Weiyun’s strength has not recovered yet, his martial arts skills are not low. Even the great hero Gui Dongjing was defeated by him.
——And the little old man in front of him seemed to want to take him as his apprentice.
Su Weiyun looked up and stared at the old man. The old man had a peaceful smile on his face and a gleam of wisdom in his eyes. He didn't look like he was joking at all.
Moreover, Su Weiyun could also feel that the old man was definitely not a proud, arrogant, and conceited person.
What exactly is his purpose?
Why did he dare to accept Su Weiyun as his apprentice? And why did he accept Su Weiyun as his apprentice?
Fortunately, Liu Changjie spoke first: "Lord Longxu, can't you see that his martial arts are unique and not from the same faction as yours?"
The old man said, "All martial arts in the world have the same goal, so how can there be any factional disputes? Lord Longzhua, with your knowledge, you are making people look down on you."
Liu Changjie said sternly: "Those with different beliefs cannot work together. There is nothing wrong with the disputes among martial arts schools, but people are divided into different categories."
The old man said: "People always know how to adapt."
Liu Changjie said slowly: "The country has not changed, and my nature has not changed!"
The old man suddenly said loudly: "You don't have the final say, I still need to ask him. Su Weiyun, do you agree?!"
Su Weiyun thought for a long time before saying, "What can you teach me?"
The old man smiled without saying a word, bent down to pick up a small stone from the ground, and weighed it gently in his hand.
Then he gently put the stone back on the ground.
Su Weiyun didn't understand the meaning of his action yet, when suddenly a breeze blew and lifted up the petals.
The stone was also swept away.
To be precise, the ashes turned from the stones were blown away bit by bit by the wind and rose into the sky.
The old man didn't use any strength, he just weighed it, and he actually crushed a stone into powder. What kind of powerful palm power is this? !
Liu Changjie said: "I didn't expect that the 'Bone-Dissolving Palm' of the former Bone-Dissolving Immortal has also been acquired by you."
The old man said, "I occasionally gain something from reading ancient books."
Liu Changjie said: "No wonder you planned to hide overseas, it turns out that you have almost mastered the martial arts of the Central Plains."
The old man did not answer, but asked again: "Su Weiyun, are you willing to go overseas with me to practice?"
Su Weiyun was silent for a while, and finally shook his head.
It wasn't that he couldn't stand being inferior to others, so he became a disciple to learn martial arts. He had practiced martial arts all the way and had many masters.
A person should regard himself as a small person, and then humbly seek advice and ask questions from the teacher sincerely, so that he can learn more.
But this time, Su Weiyun felt different.
He felt that the old man was not like the previous masters who simply accepted disciples to learn martial arts.
For example, Yue Huanshan accepted Su Weiyun as his last disciple, and tried his best to care for Su Weiyun and teach him martial arts.
But the old man was different. He gave Su Weiyun the feeling that a jade craftsman saw a piece of unpolished jade and couldn't help wanting to carve it into the shape he wanted and give it new meaning.
The way the old man looked at Su Weiyun didn't seem like he was "looking at a person" but rather like he was "looking at jade".
——And Su Weiyun also felt it from Liu Changjie’s eyes: the old man’s decision to take in a disciple was definitely not just as simple as teaching martial arts, there must be other reasons that no one could tell.
So Su Weiyun refused: "I think it's not a bad thing for me to improve myself through practice and become self-reliant. Just like my "Wedding Dress Magic Skill", didn't it allow me to embark on a new path?"
The old man said, "Do you know Zhu Yun on Wolf Mountain? His martial arts skills were not very high at first, but later I taught him some Buddhist martial arts, which led to his current achievements."
Su Weiyun was surprised, but still shook her head.
The old man sighed again and said, "I never want to force others, but this time I want to make a bet with you, how about it?"
Su Weiyun asked: "What's the bet?"
The old man said, "If you win, I will give you a unique martial art, and three of my masters will be your servants; if you lose, you will follow me overseas and concentrate on practicing martial arts."
Su Weiyun asked: "Why should I bet with you?"
Liu Changjie was sweating in his hands and said, "Yes, he didn't have to make this bet with you."
The old man thought for a moment, pointed to the distance and said, "I heard that the people on Wolf Mountain are trapped by hemp grass, and you want to save their souls, right?"
"Then I promise you, if you accept my bet, I will help you rescue them no matter whether you win or lose!"
Su Weiyun asked: "Do you have a solution?"
“When I was young, I also encountered the same situation as them.”
The old man said it lightly, but his words were enough to shock the world.
Su Weiyun said slowly: "Why don't you tell me how to gamble."
The old man smiled and said calmly: "I just want you to understand that although you have blazed your own trail, there is still a gap between you and those who have a famous teacher to guide you."
Su Weiyun asked: "Who are you talking about?"
The old man said, "I once taught someone else, and he was also very talented. And I heard that he wanted to kill you."
Su Weiyun asked: "Di Qinglin?"
The old man said, "It's him. He was planning to kill you, so even if you didn't make this bet with me, you were bound to fight him."
"If you win, you win; if he loses, I lose."
"So if you agree to my bet, you won't lose anything. I never take advantage of others."
This bet really ensured that Su Weiyun did not suffer any loss.
A cold wind blows between the mountain peaks.
As the white clouds floated, the temperature suddenly dropped and became inexplicably cold.
Su Weiyun finally said slowly: "Ever since I worshipped a gambler master a long time ago, I have never lost a bet with anyone."
The old man said, "I am different from you."
"I have never lost since the beginning!"
