The prince is very fierce

As the sun sets over the mountain, the sky gradually darkens. The faint firelight in the depths of the bamboo forest guides the road. The winding path leads to a quiet place. Not far from the bamboo forest, a small bamboo building suddenly opens up before your eyes.

There is a small stove burning in front of the bamboo building, with a teapot on it, and three small benches next to it.

The white-haired old man in an old Taoist robe was leaning on a recliner with his eyes closed. After Xu Buling walked out of the bamboo forest, he raised his hand and pointed to the bench next to which there was medicine for bruises.

"Meet the old Taoist priest."

"Hello, grandpa."

Xu Buling carried Lin Yusong to the bench, placed Lin Yusong on it, picked up the bruise medicine next to him, and began to treat the unconscious Lin Yusong's injuries.

Nightingale went on a long trip for the first time and met a big shot she had seen in the book. Naturally, she was a little embarrassed. She sat down on the small bench and took a look secretly. 'The Taoist Swordsman for comparison.

Xu Buling was actually a little curious. He thought he was an immortal with immortal demeanor, but when he saw that Qingxu's appearance was no different from that of an ordinary old Taoist priest, he said with a smile:

"I asked the old Taoist priest not to blame me for coming in without telling me."

Taoist priest Qingxu picked up the teapot and took a sip:

"It's not the first time I've been presumptuous. Back then, I sent someone to Suzhou to call you here to be my apprentice. It would be better for you to just kick them out. Your vision is as high as the sky and you don't look down on this small place. Now you're running away on your own. What are you doing here?”

Xu Bu Ling's expression froze slightly. He was really crazy when he was a child and drove away many senior people in the world. It seemed that he had offended people.

"I was young and ignorant at that time. I happened to pass by Jinsi Gorge this time. I heard that the old Taoist priest was doing a cleansing here, so I definitely wanted to pay a visit."

"Children in the world like to look for famous teachers to ask for advice on this or that, especially those who are as old as me. They treat every question as if it were a law of heaven. In fact, there is no need. They are all human beings, just like me, the old Taoist. I just live here to retire when I can no longer run. Martial arts are definitely not as good as those who are young and strong. As for how to behave in the world, people who know it don’t need to teach it, but it is useless to teach people who don’t know how to live forever. Kung Fu, no need to ask, I haven’t figured it out even with my feet in the ground.”

Nightingale listened for a long time, but she understood the meaning. Don't ask anything, I don't know.

"Grandpa, they all say that 'having an elder in the family is like having a treasure'. An expert like you has more experience and understanding. Even if you don't ask anything, you will benefit a lot from just chatting."

Taoist Master Qingxu opened his eyes, looked at the little Nightingale sitting neatly next to him, and chuckled:

"That's okay. I'll be fine if I stay here anyway. The little friend I was chatting with has also been knocked down by you. Just say what you want to say."

Nightingale sat up a little straighter: "Grandpa, I heard that you and Eunuch Jia, the chief steward of Chang'an City, once fought in front of Emperor Xiaozong, and the battle turned the mountains and rivers into discoloration. However, according to the records in the book, it seems that you did not lose. Even though Eunuch Jia didn’t lose, was it possible that you were tied at that time?”

Master Qingxu took a sip of tea and said: "It was written by a meddlesome person. When General Xu broke Chang'an, I was only eighteen or nineteen, and Eunuch Jia was seven or eight years younger than me. I had never met Eunuch Jia at that time. Later, Eunuch Jia I have never left the Imperial City, nor have I entered it, so I still don’t know what he looks like.”

Nightingale nodded thoughtfully, a little disappointed: "Then don't you know which one of you is better? What a pity..."

"In terms of martial arts alone, Eunuch Jia may be more powerful. After all, he is still guarding the palace. I have been living in seclusion here since I was fifty, and now I am eighty. I have almost forgotten how to use a sword. I can't compare."

"Then who do you think is the most powerful among the contemporary martial arts masters?"

"Um……"

Master Qingxu closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then shook his head:

"It's hard to say. The world has been silent for ten years, which is a generation. It's hard to tell who is high and low without a fight. But in terms of talent, among the current players, Li Hansheng is the most powerful. In just three or four years, From a weak scholar to a powerful man, I have no idea what it will look like in the future. In the future, your young master, Mei Qusheng, the disciple of the old guy in Yuelu Mountain, should definitely be in the top ten and compete for the top three."

"What about me?"

Nightingale sat upright, full of energy.

Master Qingxu looked at it for a few times and shook his head:

"The world is divided into yin and yang. It is the way of heaven. Since ancient times, men have hunted and women have gathered mulberries. Women have been disadvantaged in martial arts. Martial arts require too much physical strength. To reach the top ten in the world, it is even less. It's a mistake. It's more difficult for a woman to become a martial arts master than for a daughter to become a top scholar. You are already extremely talented. As long as you study hard, it is possible to establish a sect and become a master. But don't even think about Lin, who has just been a martial arts master. Yusong, have you seen that there can't be one good person out of a hundred thousand people, and you can't even stand it when you meet a real martial artist? You can figure out how far behind you are."

Nightingale frowned slightly and glanced at Lin Yusong, who was lying half-dead on the long board:

"Is he very powerful?"

Xu Buling applied some wound medicine, wiped his hands and sat down on the small bench:

"Of course he's very powerful. He's only twenty-seven or eighty. I'm afraid he's not far behind Tang Jiao among the Ten Military Leaders. As long as he works hard enough and has some luck, he may not be able to join the Ten Military Leaders in ten years."

Master Qingxu nodded: "Lin Yusong has a good foundation, but his character is a little bad. Young people are easy to break if they are too sharp, but they can't penetrate if their sharpness is too soft. Lin Yusong hid his sharpness too early, and he was too young. I began to think that I was smooth and comprehensive, and it was not enough to think before and after the action. People who practiced martial arts thought so much about what to do. They fought first and then saluted. If you have the ability, the other party will naturally be convinced. If you don't have the ability, it will be useless to say it nicely. Unfortunately, these things, You have to understand it yourself, others say it’s useless.”

Xu Buling nodded seriously: "I have learned the lesson."

Master Qingxu glanced at Xu Buling and thought for a while:

"You've changed a lot, kid. You were a typical example of being too sharp back then. I didn't like you at first, but your talent is so good. The last one you had was Zuo Zhexian, the God of War who founded the Northern Qi Dynasty, whom I haven't met in hundreds of years. I hesitated again and again, but still let people I invited you here, thinking about cultivating yourself on Wudang Mountain and seeing if you could be polished, but you refused..."

Xu Bu Ling looked embarrassed and smiled softly.

Master Qingxu held the small teapot and sighed: "I calculated at that time, I'm afraid you won't live to be twenty years old. Sure enough, something happened later, and you were infected by the Dragon Lock Gu and became disabled. But Tianzong is a genius. Focusing on the word "Tianzong", I really didn't expect you to be able to withstand this disaster. Not only did you become more energetic, but your temperament also changed a lot. If you are not arrogant or impatient, I am afraid you can really take the world's martial arts to a higher level...

...It's a pity that you made the mistake of coming from a prince's family. Your starting point was too high for the small fish pond of Jianghu. It would be a bad thing to devote yourself to martial arts without caring about the people's livelihood. Otherwise, I, an old man like me, will beg and demand to accept you as my apprentice. "

"No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you are still a human being. You can't really become a god. Even Zuo Zhexian was buried in Zhongnan Mountain in the end..." Xu Buling said this, suddenly remembering the rumors about the world that Zhongli Chuchu had mentioned, and he was curious at the moment. ask:

"I have heard that Zuo Zhexian left three volumes of books. The first two volumes are true, but the last volume has not been confirmed. Some people in the world say that it is called the "Tongtian Baodian". If you collect a few jade pendants, you can Found the clue, does the old Taoist know about this? "
