Chapter 7 Apprenticeship

Zhu Jiwuci looked at Zhao Qing's calm expression, a flash of a smile flashed across his face, and said slightly apologetically: "Apprentice, you don't really think that I am such a strict demander of juniors, do you? The weapons are given to you."

He didn't make any movements, but the moment he finished speaking, a bronze dagger with a sheath shuttled across the distance of twenty or thirty feet from Zhao's house to the stream, without making any noise, just quietly It hovered in front of Zhao Qing.

Zhao Qing recognized that this was exactly the sword that Zhu Zhiwuci used to gouge out the gold grains from the gold cake.

She reached out to take it, and slowly drew the sword out of its sheath, only to see a cold blue light shooting out, flickering and flowing on the sword surface. When I saw it, I was covered by Master.

When receiving the spiritual information before, Zhao Qing also knew the Yue language by the way, so she recognized the inscription on it: "Yue Wang Yunchang made it himself, and the five Cao Zijian is the fifth".

Suddenly, she remembered the precious sword she saw Shen Shendao found from the ancient tomb earlier. It seemed that the sword was one of the "divine species" behind him, and she didn't know what level it was. Thinking about it, it shouldn't be a single blow.

The so-called sub-swords are recorded in the "Heavenly Soldiers Refining Shape and Entraining Qi Method" when the yin and yang qi of good fortune leaked out when the main sword was cast, and thus the subsidiary swords that were born together were much less powerful than the main sword, but most of them Can still be called a magic weapon.

"This is one of the 24 Zijians of the famous sword Haocao. It was given by the great king Goujian when he came to the throne in the past. Although this sword is small, it is considered top-grade among Haocao's Zijians. It was needed for refining Qi before."

Zhu Jiwuci opened his mouth to introduce, and brushed his hand over the edge of the sharp sword, suppressing the sharp aura emanating from the sword body.

"As for the magic weapon 'Qingxuan' that will be born a year and a half later, I will also help you fight for it, and I am very confident. Of course, apprentice, you have to work harder yourself."

"Don't look at my calm tone without ups and downs, and think that I am very serious and deep. In fact, this is just because of the needs of practice. I am actually quite happy to communicate with people, and sometimes I will make a joke."

Zhao Qing moved his lips, but didn't speak. It's better to be serious when making such a joke.

Zhu Zhiwuci did not feel embarrassed, he paused, and added:

"There have been members of the Zhuji family who have held important positions in Dayue for more than ten generations. The inheritance has a long history and strong influence. The contemporary Grand Sima Zhujiying is my uncle; the prince and Yi are my brothers-in-law."

"Zhao Qing, you are the third apprentice I have taken in, and you should be my last one. The treatment will never be worse. Back in the Xia and Shang Dynasties, there were women who were in charge of politics and generals. If you can practice Even if it rivals the strength of the first army, it may not be impossible to be named a doctor or general, and its name will go down in history."

"Great King Goujian is a very capable and ambitious person. Even if he sees people from other countries come to serve him before completing his revenge against Wu, he will not show distrust because of his close relationship and status. and look down."

"As long as he has the ability and ability, he will 'respect the corporals' and 'award appointments based on their talents'. Do you have such confidence?"

Zhao Qing blinked his eyes, "Appointment due to talent" is probably true, but let's forget about "Corporal Li Xian", Wen Zhong died injustice. "The cunning rabbit dies, the running dog cooks; the birds die, the good bow hides" she still understands.

It is said that Goujian will not kill heroes in the future on the head of the master. It sounds like the master does not know Goujian's nature.But the two are considered in-laws after all, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

Zhu Jiwuci looked up at the moonlight in the night sky, and walked towards Zhao's small courtyard, Zhao Qing followed behind him.

"By the way, I haven't introduced your senior brother and second senior brother yet. Senior senior brother Jiang Chengyu is a descendant of the original Jiang State. He has just formed the Six Qi Qi. He is currently serving as a disciple of Chu State's son Lu, and secretly helping the young man. Princess Chu's daughter of the Great King and her son Chu Wangzhang."

"Second senior brother Zhong Wubo played the role of the former grandson of Zhongwu country, and he is also a beginner in the cultivation of Liuqi. Now he is working as an undercover agent in the Yunyangmen of the Wu State University to collect news about Wu's rivers and lakes. Over the years, he has become a member of Yunyangmen. The second elder of Youyun Hall, the head of the inner four halls."

"As for your master, since I left my post as little Situ 16 years ago, I have concealed my identity in the six villages in the country's suburbs to do investigation work, to eliminate the factors of domestic unrest, and to recommend some talents to the current Situ, big and small."

"Befriend the state of Chu in the south, the state of Jin in the west, and the state of Qi in the north. This is the foreign policy of our country of Yue. On the surface, the traveler doctor Yiyong sent envoys to communicate, but in the dark, our lineage participated. .”

What secret spy organization, the "Jinyiwei" of the Yue Kingdom?Does the average person engage in underground work?On the wrong boat.

Zhao Qing couldn't help cursing secretly, the corners of her eyes twitched, so what outrageous things will I be sent by Master to do in the future?But why inexplicably feel a little exciting?

"As for your apprentice. Well, little Zhao Qing, you'd better wait five or six years before you think about it. Find a safe place to practice martial arts by yourself. I have quotas for Kuaiji No. [-] Martial Arts Academy and Army Sword and Ge Battalion. , which one do you decide to have?"

"Wuyuan." Zhao Qing returned to the small courtyard of his home with the sword he just got and the tableware that had been washed earlier, and thought for a while before replying.

By the way, the sword camp doesn't sound like a safe place, it won't be a death squad!Also, does "practicing martial arts by oneself" mean what I imagined?

Seemingly seeing what Zhao Qing was thinking, Zhu Jiwuci cleared his throat and explained:
"Whether it is the land of Wuyue or the countries of the Central Plains, the vast majority of Jianghu sects follow the so-called rule of 'the law should not be passed on lightly'. As the status improves, the disciples are constantly changing the root law. This is to control the progress of the disciples' practice and ensure the stability of the main line."

"But in my place, there is no such rule. Everyone can get the high-level exercises that I have carefully annotated after getting started. Coupled with the top comprehension skills of you guys, I don't actually need my special teaching."

This is an excuse to avoid responsibility.Zhao Qing stroked his forehead with his hand, feeling that Master's tall image had not yet been established, but he had destroyed it by himself.

"One more thing. You should have understood very early on that your talent in martial arts is top-notch, and you know that your future cannot be limited to one village or one village, but the reason why you don't leave home to practice martial arts for a long time is because you have to take care of the sick. mother's sake."

Zhu Jiwuci said while packing the luggage that was left at the door.

Zhao Qing nodded. She was thinking about what to do after she became a teacher. Maybe she should pay someone to take care of her?

"Your mother's internal injuries started with blood clots coagulating in the viscera, which caused the body to fail. After that, she could only lie in bed for a long time, her legs shrank, and the internal blood vessels and tendons hardened."

"It is estimated that the doctors in the villages and towns did not fully diagnose them, they just taught people to take medicine and rest, but without the medicine from the doctor, your mother would not be able to survive today. Fortunately, although her physical problems are serious, they are actually curable. .”

"At the end of the information I'm instilling in you, I attached a medical scripture, in which there is a way to cure your mother. As long as you have reached the realm of Huajin Dacheng, or you have just completed Qi Refining, you can start to treat it."

"At that time, you can use the method of strength resonance or inner qi cutting to wash the marrow of your mother's tendons and reshape the muscles and bones of her lower limbs. After that, you will nurse for half an hour a day, which will last for about a month, and she will recover to the normal state. So far, so that you no longer have to worry about the future."

"Let's just talk about this, your master, I have to leave beforehand. I will leave this little money to you."

Zhao Qing, who had just turned his back and was about to clean up the housework, turned his head hastily, but there was no one there.

Except for a piece of golden cake on the bamboo chair in front of the door, which shone slightly under the moonlight, and a bronze dagger hanging on the rope buckle around his waist, there were no other traces.

……

 In the Zhou Dynasty, there were cases where ministers used "big king", "wang" and "shang" to the king, but "wangshang" was not seen.
