Chapter 23: Jade Maiden Sword "Today is New Year's Eve. You three juniors, please each say a word of good fortune to your master." Yue Buqun said. Hearing this, the two young men couldn't help but look at each other. How to say this auspicious words? Jin Renfeng was also depressed. It seemed that even if he traveled through time, he couldn't escape this classic part of the Chinese New Year, right? If it were on Earth, it would be simple. If you check online, you will find all kinds of auspicious words. But in this ancient environment, it is difficult to find auspicious words. At least the illiterate Jin Renfeng didn't remember many words. While the two young men were hesitating, they saw the young Yue Lingshan step forward and speak first: "I wish Master great blessings as vast as the East Sea and a long life as long as the Southern Mountains."
Lingshan was young and didn't understand any auspicious words. It was obvious that this sentence was taught to her by her master and his wife in advance. "Good!" Ning Qingyu said with a smile, "Lingshan has become more and more obedient." Yue Buqun also showed a satisfied smile and handed the red envelope he had prepared in advance to Yue Lingshan. "I wish Master a long life, and blessings greater than the sun and the moon." After thinking for a moment, Jin Renfeng recalled a sentence from his memory and stepped forward. "Well, not bad!" Ning Qingyu was satisfied. Yue Buqun also handed over a red envelope. When Jin Renfeng saw the red envelope, his eyes turned and an idea suddenly came to his mind. "Grandmaster, today is a festive occasion. I dare to ask you to change the reward. I wonder if you can allow it?" he said. Yue Buqun frowned and shouted: "This red envelope was given by your elders. It's not your turn to be picky. Get out of here quickly." After saying that, he walked forward and was about to take Jin Renfeng away. "Buqun, calm down!" The old voice sounded, and Ning Qingyu said with a smile, "Let's listen to what this little kid has to say first." Only then did Yue Buqun stop and stand aside. "Ren Feng, since you want to exchange for a reward, I wonder what you want?" Ning Qingyu said with a smile. "I would like to ask Master to give me an order and ask Master to teach me the move 'Boundless Falling Trees'." The Golden Phoenix Road. During this period of time, Jin Renfeng had mastered the moves taught by his master. But when he wanted to learn more advanced moves, his master would not allow him to do so, saying that he had to polish the existing moves before he could teach him swordsmanship. Therefore, he came up with this idea. Hearing this, Ning Qingyu was stunned at first, then burst into laughter.
"So you're making such a fuss just to learn swordsmanship! I thought it was a big deal!" A smile also appeared on Yue Buqun's face, and all his previous unhappiness disappeared. "Since you want to learn sword, just tell your master! Why ask me for help? If you want to learn sword, can he, as your master, not teach you?" Ning Qingyu said. Jin Renfeng chuckled and said: "I asked for it before, but Master insisted that I improve my foundation and not teach me swordsmanship." "Master is Master after all, so I have no choice but to obey him. But today I thought that you are Master's Master, so if you speak, Master must obey. If I want to learn swordsmanship, I can only start with you, so I dare to ask you to speak." Hearing this, Ning Qingyu also shook his head. "What a scoundrel! This is how you set your sights on me." "Well, since you've asked, I'll ask for you." Then he turned around and asked Yue Buqun, "Buqun, since this kid wants to learn swordsmanship, you should teach him. It's not a bad thing for him to be eager to learn. Why do you have to stop him?" Yue Buqun looked helpless and was about to speak. But Ning Zhongze stepped forward and said: "Father, you are wrongly blaming my brother! He also has his own difficulties." Then she walked forward and patted Jin Renfeng on the shoulder. "This child learns sword skills too quickly and is obsessed with practicing sword techniques. He practices sword techniques all day long. In just half a year, he has already learned more than a dozen sword techniques." "My disciple is eager to learn, so I will do my best to teach him, but he is always greedy and eager to learn." "For a move like 'The Phoenix Arrives', according to the rules of Huashan, it takes at least five years of basic sword skills training before it can be taught." "But this kid insisted on asking Buqun to teach him the sword technique. He kept pestering him for two months, and finally even my senior brother had to give in." "Don't underestimate this kid who has only been a student for half a year. His sword skills have improved as much as those of the disciples who have been in the mountains for five or six years." "Oh? I was bedridden and didn't know about this!" Ning Qingyu looked surprised. "That's not all!" Ning Zhongze said with a smile, "This kid actually wants me to teach him the 19th Jade Maiden Sword Style." "Jade Maiden Sword?" Even Ning Qingyu couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard the name. The main purpose of the Nineteen Styles of the Jade Maiden Sword is its magical changes, which is quite different from the Huashan School's method of emphasizing the use of Qi to control the sword. It is a sword technique specifically taught to female disciples. Female disciples are relatively weak in physical strength, so when they encounter a strong enemy, they can rely on this sword technique to defeat the opponent with cleverness. It is useless for male disciples to learn it. Ning Zhongze also smiled and said, "I explained it to him in detail. Not to mention that his sword skills are still a little poor, not enough to practice the Jade Maiden Sword. The Jade Maiden Sword is inherited by the female disciples of Huashan. Only female disciples can practice it, so it can't be passed on to him." "But he clearly knows it, yet he still insists on learning it, clinging to me all day long. To be honest, this disciple is really a headache." Speaking of this, Ning Zhongze also looked helpless. "A man like him is clamoring to learn the Jade Maiden Sword. He is really unrestrained and unconventional." Ning Qingyu said with a smile, "No wonder he dared to ask me for the sword technique today." There was a burst of laughter in the Zhengqi Hall, and even Yue Lingshan's face turned red with joy. “Although it’s funny, it’s true as Junior Sister said, my progress in the Human Phoenix Sword Skill is too fast.” Yue Buqun said.
"I didn't teach him swordsmanship in order to suppress him. Huashan Qi Sect emphasizes controlling the sword with Qi, and internal strength comes first. This child's swordsmanship progresses too fast, which is not entirely a good thing. I am worried that he will go astray." "So that's it!" Ning Qingyu nodded. He probably understood the matter. Then he said to Jin Renfeng, "Little kid, did you hear me? I asked for this sword technique on your behalf. But your internal strength is not good enough, so you are not suitable to continue learning new moves." "Here are the rules of our Huashan Sect. You need to learn swordsmanship step by step. If you don't have a solid foundation, you can't expect to reach the top in one step. That won't work." Jin Renfeng bowed. "Every word that Grandmaster Master said is reasonable. I also know that swordsmanship should not be rushed." "But Master said that my foundation is not solid, but I am not convinced." "Since I came up the mountain, I have been practicing diligently and have not dared to slack off. Whether it is the internal skills or the sword techniques, I have not dared to neglect any of them." "If this is still considered a weak foundation, I don't believe that there is anyone among the disciples of all generations who can surpass me." There was a hint of arrogance in his words. Yue Buqun looked displeased. He considered himself a modest gentleman, so naturally he couldn't stand such arrogant and rebellious words. (End of this chapter)
