Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

"To be honest, my lord, when Senior Yu was in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, he taught me a sword, and I have the cultivation base of the second-rank Haoyue realm thanks to that sword. Maybe he doesn't care about mere details. One and a half instructions, but I have always kept them in my heart, and dare not forget his reinvention grace."

"Later, Senior Yu told me one thing before he left."

"He asked me to keep a section of willow branch on his behalf. He said that if one day I see the person who makes the willow branch shine on the sixth floor, I will give the willow branch to that person."

"He said that this person is the disciple he has chosen long ago."

"..."

Jiang Qingyu suppressed herself from laughing out loud.

This……

Why did all the good things happen to me?

Come to the Buddhist scriptures Pavilion, and unexpectedly fall into a master who is the fourth-rank congenital star-picking realm?

You know, the master of the Jubei Palace, the master of the Jubei King, was only in the third grade of the Innate Sunshine Realm in his peak period!

Jiang Qingyu held back so hard that her mouth almost crooked.

Ha... No, I have to hold back, I can't let Uncle Jiang Shan look down on me!

Seeing this scene, Jiang Shan said helplessly:

"Laugh if you want."

"Don't hold back your illness."

"In the entire Chu Kingdom, there are no more than ten legends who are in the fourth stage of congenital star picking. It is inevitable that the young master's mood will fluctuate a little."

Jiang Qingyu lowered her head in shame:

"Sorry, I lost my temper."

In fact, Jiang Qingyu shouldn't be like this. After all, when he fell into a dream, his soul body was equivalent to an innate master of the third rank. It is only a matter of time to break through to the fourth rank after tempering his body.

But the soul body is just the soul body after all.

Once he wakes up, he is just a mortal who is inferior to a first-rank martial artist.

Jiang Qingyu's emotional adjustment took Jiang Shan a little by surprise:

"Young master, don't you really want to smile?"

Jiang Qingyu shook her head.

What's so funny about an old man.

Why don't you wait until you return to Ziyan Courtyard, and then release this good mood on your two pretty maids.

Jiang Shan pointed out:

"Then please young master put the willow branch in front of his forehead, as Senior Yu said, so that you can get the gift he left behind."

After saying this, Jiang Shan took out another key and put it on the table beside him, then opened the iron door and went outside:

"I'll wait outside the door for the young master."

Seeing this scene, Jiang Qingyu immediately stopped the other party:

"No need, Uncle Jiang Shan, I trust you."

It would be a lie to say that there is complete trust.

Jiang Qingyu was also worried that Jiang Shan would turn his back on him after he got the inheritance.

But if the other party really plans to inherit the sword master, then he will definitely not kill himself before getting the complete inheritance, at most he will lock himself in a certain place and torture him.

Since I won't be able to die for a while...

Then there is a chance to dream.

You can dream, so what are you afraid of?

It's better to be more generous, maybe let Jiang Shan get closer to him.

In any case, Jiang Shan is also a master of the innate second-rank Haoyue realm. His cultivation base is second only to King Jubei himself among the people in the palace. If he can be drawn to his side, then the probability of his second brother Jiang Qingjian becoming the son of the prince will be reduced. point.

"Is this... suitable?"

Jiang Shan hesitated for a while.

It must be a lie to say that he doesn't want to see the inheritance of the fourth grade of congenital.

But the fourth son is not testing himself, is he?

However, just as he was thinking, Jiang Qingyu had already placed the willow branch on his forehead.

Inheritance is on.

This scene frightened Jiang Shan to close the iron gate tightly again.

Fortunately, he never set up secret guards on the sixth floor, otherwise, if other people saw this scene, the fourth son would definitely be taken away by the second wife after he left.

In an instant, the willow branches began to emit green light, which began to flicker continuously. The room on the sixth floor became flickering under the light, and several oil lamps were also extinguished in an instant.

From the light and dark changes again and again, Jiang Shan seemed to see the trajectories cut by the sword.

"Senior Yu is really a strange person."

He looked at Jiang Qingyu who was intoxicated at this moment, and couldn't help but sigh:

"I seem to understand why the old man accepted the fourth son as his apprentice."

"Fourth son, he is also a strange person."

Chapter 5 The Three-Three-Year Agreement

Jiang Qingyu felt that she was pulled into a whole new world.

It is neither a dream nor reality, but more like a fantasy created by people out of thin air.

In this world, he saw an old swordsman surnamed Yu wearing a green shirt and a willow branch.

The posture is straight, like a long sword drawn from its sheath.

Before Jiang Qingyu could say hello, the old sword master spoke first:

"Let me introduce formally first, my name is Yu Yi."

"You should be the little doll who hides behind the willow tree every night and watches me compete with others, right?"

"The fourth son of the palace, Jiang Qingyu, who was rumored by the outside world to be a piece of trash."

"Tsk tsk, it's really strange to have an innate soul in a mortal body."

Jiang Qingyu was not surprised at all when her identity was exposed.

It stands to reason that the old sword master had nothing to do with him, but he chose to be his disciple.

There are only two possibilities that Jiang Qingyu can think of:

One is to reject the North King's personal request, and the other is that the old sword master discovered his own soul when he was sparring with others.

Due to the example of the second brother Jiang Qingjian, the possibility of the former is very slim.

Then only the latter remains.

Although he has great confidence in the "Dream Sutra", the old sword master is after all a legendary figure who later became the fourth-rank congenital star-picking realm, so it cannot be treated with common sense.

"Five years ago, in the capital, I saw a mortal painter who used the walls of a shabby room as paper to paint the finishing touches. Once he had an epiphany, he felt that people in the world should not be underestimated. A mortal body can also leap into the dragon's gate."

"Little baby, do you know what happened to that painter?"

The old sword master looked at Jiang Qingyu with a smile.

Jiang Qingyu didn't answer.

He had already seen that the old Juggernaut in front of him was just a phantom, unable to communicate with others at all, and the words he said were all arranged in advance.

Sure enough, even though Jiang Qingyu didn't say a word, the old sword master kept talking on his own:

"He was hired as an imperial painter by the emperor of Chu, and married a princess."

"The original wife, who never disliked his family's shabby walls, but had been selling money from weaving and embroidery to support his painting practice, hanged herself wearing a jade bracelet that can be bought at the market for three taels of silver on the day he and the princess got married."

"That jade bracelet was the only gift the man bought her when she got married."

Jiang Qingyu had a complicated heart.

He pitied the first wife who hanged himself, and he also spurned the painter who realized his innate talent.

"The painter's name is Cheng Zhe, and he is now a gentleman of Jixia Academy, and he is also one of the strong candidates for the future competition for the position of sacrificial wine."

The old sword master looked at Jiang Qingyu, and proposed his own conditions for accepting apprentices:

"Cheng Zhe has a student named Fan Yu."

"This old man will give you three years to learn swordsmanship. After three years, you will go to the capital and write a letter of challenge. Use this old man's swordsmanship to defeat Fan Yu in full view."

"If you agree, then kneel down and kowtow, the old man accepts you as the only disciple and grants you the entire inheritance."

Jiang Qingyu froze in place.

Fan Yu, isn't that the top of the list of princes in Chu today?

Last year's Jixia Academy's academic examination, the eldest brother Jiang Qingshu won the academic examination and became the first, Fan Yu came in second.

But in March of this year, Fan Yu had an epiphany.

Only 32 years old.

For a while, the world was a sensation.

You must know that most of those who do not take the Tenth Grade of Acquired Heaven to temper their bodies and directly realize their innateness are bad old men who have been immersed in a certain skill for decades.

In the history books, there is even a great Confucian who realized his innateness at the age of 90, and then died with a smile because of the exhaustion of Yangshou.

Therefore, it is rarer for Fan Yu to realize his innate epiphany at the age of 32 than for ordinary people to take the road of the tenth rank of acquired talent and be promoted to innate before the age of 20!

It is also for this reason that even if the second place on the young master's list is a younger innate master, he has to give up the top spot for him.

It is rumored that the emperor of Chu State intends to marry Fan Yu, a princess who is extremely beloved and powerful.

Your old man asked me to beat him in full view?

This is not defeating Fan Yu, this is clearly embarrassing the Chu royal family!

"wrong!"

Jiang Qingyu suddenly thought of something:

"The old sword master left willow branches seven years ago. At that time, Fan Yu didn't realize his innateness at all, and the emperor didn't even have the idea of ​​giving a marriage..."

"Things have changed now. The conditions seven years ago... shouldn't count?"

However, when he was thinking, the old sword master suddenly stroked his beard and laughed:

"Haha, the old man knows that no one can refuse to be the old man's disciple!"

"Get up, my boy!"

"As a teacher, I will teach you the innate fourth-grade kung fu method created by you, "Yu's Sword Classic."

"..."

This scene made Jiang Qingyu at a loss.

Although he has long seen that the old Juggernaut in front of him has no thoughts of his own, but is just talking to himself according to the setting seven years ago.

but……

Old man, are you too narcissistic?

I didn't hit a single head!

If I had known how dangerous it would be to be your apprentice... I, I would definitely be reluctant to give up, and I would definitely face the difficulties!

Jiang Qingyu kept moaning and sighing.

He really didn't want to make trouble with people from Jixia Academy, especially when his eldest brother Jiang Qingshu was also studying there, but... the old sword master really gave too much!

Who can refuse the legacy of a sword master?
