Chapter 98 Part of the Practice
Looking at the swordsman with scars on his face and a long sword on his waist, Xiang Rong felt as if he was in another world.

If the other party hadn't come to the door suddenly, he would have almost forgotten that there was such an apprentice. After all, compared with Da Chu's great cause of restoring the country, a mere disciple is really worthless—but looking at the other party The familiar demeanor, the déjà vu sword on his waist, some dusty memories, finally came to his mind.

That was when he was still traveling around the world. When he came to Jibei, he picked up the orphan of this horse thief by chance.At that time, he was planning to stay in Jibei for a while, so he raised him and taught him a few things.

As for the content of the teaching, it will naturally not be the secret treasures of the Chu royal family. If he can teach something about Taixue, it can be regarded as his philanthropy.

In life, there will be more or less times when people are soft-hearted. The former Great Chu Dynasty also studied this point when they were studying the way of becoming immortals. Falling on the seven emotions and six desires, being confused by it, falling into madness, and even turning into a monster.

Therefore, after the study of the Great Chu Dynasty, the conclusion recorded in the Royal Family Secret Code is that blocking is worse than sparse.

Forcibly restraining oneself is indeed very powerful, at least it looks very powerful, but in fact it will make one's reason stretch into a tight string, which will be broken on the spot at the slightest sign of trouble.Therefore, in order to be able to stabilize the consciousness in the impact of those swords and soldiers, it is also necessary to make the state of mind more mellow and free, and to do things that others can't understand occasionally, but it is relatively necessary.

After all, for him at that time, this kid really made him feel a little emotional. Although he has the identity of a descendant of the Chu royal family, what is the difference between the days when he hides his head and shows his tail, and the orphan of a horse thief?

What's more, he also heard at that time that his old friend had also come to Yanzhou to live in seclusion because of being excluded by the court, and taught students.
"Then raise one."

With a thought, the fate of this child named Cui Yuan was changed.

But for Xiang Rong, this is no different from raising cats and dogs.

And in the next few years, he finally confirmed that the little emperor of Nanchen actually gradually reduced the military equipment of the states in order to rest easy for his family. He is alone and alone, and it may be difficult for him to accomplish this feat of restoring the country by himself.So he set off to the north, went to find the Mobei royal court, and became the national teacher of the prairie people.

Even though the grassland people had wars with the Chu people, there is no permanent enemy in this world.Just like Nan Chen Taizu was even willing to accept the remnants of the former Great Yu in order to attack the remnants of the Chu people, the current prairie people and him, the last of the Great Chu, also have a common enemy.

So, the two hit it off.

Taking the world as the chessboard and all living beings as the chess pieces, with such a grand move, the leisure entertainment in the past has been left behind by him. Anyway, these leisure moves are nothing to him.

Just like Ruan Shantao, he thought that by taking his disciple, he would be able to get rid of him, but he didn't know that this was a cover-up trick he put outside, just to let those who wanted to attack him have a clear face. The target can be hit.

What's more, in addition to targeting, these leisure moves can also play other roles.

Just like it is now.

"Good apprentice, you have grown into an adult."

Facing his former disciple, Xiang Rong first went up and hugged him hard, letting him feel the Chu people's enthusiasm, and he also felt the other's physical quality.

Not bad, he is worthy of being the disciple he chose. Just look at his strong back. I'm afraid this kid has never lost his sword skills in the more than ten years since he left.

Very good, really good.

With this good swordsmanship, this disciple is of some value.

"Come on, come on! Come in first!"

Outside is not a place to talk, so Xiang Rong brought Cui Yuan into the big tent—but facing this former master, Cui Yuan was also a little excited.However, besides the excitement, he was more confused. The master in front of him felt a little strange to him.

The Master back then was melancholic, dull, unsmiling, and possessed of a scholarly spirit. But today's Master is flamboyant, enthusiastic, high-spirited, and has a bit of domineering power in every move he makes. .

Although this should indeed be his master, and they also talked about some past events during the conversation, but no matter how he tried to get closer, they seemed to be separated by a thick barrier.

Obviously at this moment, they were sitting closer than before.

"So, you have gained some reputation here in Jizhou and Yanzhou."

After a short chat, Xiang Rong couldn't help sighing.

"Then you should know all the masters in these two states, right? How are their levels?"

"... very strong."

Cui Yuan was silent for a moment, but in his mind he recalled several fights between himself and Du Chengfeng.

"It's really strong, not to be underestimated."

"Is that how you evaluate..."

Xiang Rong nodded slowly, then continued to ask.

"Then do you know if there are any masters who are good at using flaming blades in these two states?"

"...The Fire Blade?"

Cui Yuan was stunned.

Thinking of the so-called battles between myself and those masters, it seems that everyone has never used such a strange thing as a fire blade.Even the several fights between him and Du Chengfeng... the first time, Du Chengfeng fought with bare hands and a short blade; the second time, he cut off his sword with a big knife; It was Liu Qingyun's long knife that broke the horse and defeated him, the original winner.

After three fights, Du Chengfeng never used anything that could be regarded as a fire blade.

"I don't know, the disciple has never heard of it."

"never heard of that?"

Xiang Rong frowned immediately.

His disciple is relatively stubborn, so he should not tell lies, and this also means that the master of using the fire blade appeared in Jibei almost out of thin air.

Things are getting weird. God knows where the disciple Ruan Shantao came from. He must be cautious.

"So you'd better go back to the city first. This can be considered helpful as a teacher."

Thinking of this, Xiang Rong spoke up.

"Also, if you see a master who is good at using the fire blade, go up and give him a sword."

"Give him a sword?"

Cui Yuan couldn't help being a little puzzled.

"But this disciple has no grievances or enmities with that person, and I don't even know who that person is..."

"But he's better than you, isn't he?"

Xiang Rong raised his hand and patted Cui Yuan on the shoulder.

"Good apprentice, how you have practiced along the way, as a teacher, you can see it in your eyes. Challenge the strong, itself is part of the practice, isn't it?"

"The... part of the practice?"

Cui Yuan's heart suddenly jumped.

If it were before, he might really feel that challenging the strong was indeed part of his practice.

But now, after hearing these words, Cui Yuan instinctively felt that this master was planning to trick him into dying.
