UGB Chapter 40
Chapter 40
Ye Guhong is worthy of being Ximen's son.
the student surpasses the master.
When Ximen Chuuxue saw Ye Gucheng, the two of them were speechless and had a heart-to-heart communication and collision. Fortunately, the time and place were inappropriate for the first meeting, and they didn't directly compete with each other with swords drawn.
Although top-level swordsmen are eager to meet opponents who can fight against them, they are not idle murderers who have nothing to do. They will make killer moves when they meet. Among swordsmen.
Among masters, there is generally sympathy for each other, because if one is killed, one will be lost.
Generally, the challenged ones are ordinary swordsmen against super-class swordsmen, and the one who dies is also the unknown one.
Ye Gucheng and Ye Guhong are relatives, so it's impossible for them to attack with a killer move. It's a battle in words, but it's a guide in a real sense, so the young man is much more courageous.
He stared at Ye Gucheng with eyes that were much lighter than Ximen Chuixue's and said in a deep voice, "Please advise."
Ye Gucheng also looked at him, the color of their pupils was exactly the same, they were both amber-like brown, which was a proof of blood relationship.
Ye Gucheng also said in a deep voice, "Okay."
On the first day when the cousins returned home, they were not picking up the wind and washing the dust, nor were they brothers and sisters respecting each other, but each holding a sharp knife, looking at each other from a distance on the beach.
City Lord Ye looked at the young man on the opposite side, feeling that time flies like a fleeting moment.
His cousin Ye Guhong is not only his closest relative by blood, but also the only relative in existence.
The other party was nearly ten years younger than him, Ye Gucheng was thirty now, and the young man was exactly twenty.
It is said that the eldest brother is like a father. Both his parents and Ye Guhong's parents left early. When he took over the other party, he was still a little boy who was ten years old, and he had a natural sense of closeness to his blood relatives. That boy lived side by side with Ye Gucheng in his room back then.
This year, 20 years old is already the age to be a father, and it is not against harmony for him to pull Ye Guhong up.
It is said that love and being loved go hand in hand, Ye Gucheng is quite caring for his cousin raised as a son, and Ye Guhong doesn't hate Ye Gucheng just like his father.
Not only do you not hate it, but you love it.
But he is a young man after all, and he is also a very energetic young man. A young man like him always has wonderful desires and fantasies about the outside world. It is true that Baiyun City is rich, but it is just a small island. He wanted to see the vast world outside.
It would be even better if he could worship Ximen Chuuxue as his teacher!
God knows why he yearned so much for Ximen Chuuxue when he was in Baiyun City every day, Ye Gucheng wondered if the young man was moved by the legendary experience of the other party after he first entered the rivers and lakes, and he could become a loyal fan just by imagination.
Also, among those who learn sword these days, there are very few who do not yearn for Ximen Chuuxue.
Although Ye Gucheng is a parent, he is an open-minded parent. He has the attributes of a home, but he doesn't have so many restrictions on the younger generation. In his own words, young people are full of ideas about the outside world and want to go out and make a living. Good thing he should support it.
Therefore, even if Ye Guhong had no feelings for his Flying Immortal, he didn't interfere if he wanted to go out and chase Ximen Chuuxue.
But he just didn't interfere at that time.
The two stood on the sandy beach made of piled up gold. On the right was the blue sea.
Can be drawn anytime, anywhere.
When Ye Guhong left, although his strength was not as good as that of Ye Gucheng at his age, he was still the best among his peers. Ye Gucheng reckoned that if he practiced for more than ten years, he would definitely be in the arena. There are also few opponents.
I don't know whether he will advance or retreat in strength after years of traveling and studying abroad.
Regardless of Taoist Mu's character, after watching the spoiler of Lu Xiaofeng's legend, he knew that although he had a heart, his strength was really good. Ye Guhong joined the Wudang School, and the kung fu used by Taoist Mu came from the same school. Among the swordsmanship of the Central Plains, Wudang's swordsmanship is also considered superior. If Ye Guhong's strength can make great progress, faster than in Feixian Island, Ye Gucheng will naturally not say much.
Because he has found his way forward.
But if the strength does not advance but retreats, then don't blame him for turning his face and denying others.
City Lord Ye's expression was more solemn, the same as the cousin in Ye Guhong's memory, but a little different.
When he was still on Feixian Island, Ye Gucheng's expression was not so cold, but he could soften his face when he was able to face his only relative, who was still a young man.
But as long as you hold a sword in one hand, you will face your enemies with the highest respect and the most serious attitude.
Now Ye Guhong is not only his cousin, not only his junior, but also an opponent that he can take seriously. This recognition makes the young people extremely excited.
Ye Guhong's hand holding the sword was steady, but beads of sweat appeared on the palm of his hand. As long as he thought that the person opposite was Ye Gucheng, he would be extremely excited.
At the same time, there is a trace of panic in the excitement.
Eager to be recognized, especially if this recognition comes from Ye Gucheng.
Ye Guhong has always known that his cousin is a very powerful swordsman, his exquisite sword moves are rare in the world.
When he was in Baiyun City, he thought that the land outside was vast and rich, and he might find a swordsman who was more powerful than his cousin.
For example, Ximen Chuuxue.
But the truth slapped him in the face. It's good that the owner of Ximen didn't accept him. He had prepared himself mentally. Even if he played Chengmen Lixue, there was no possibility of success.
But a stronger swordsman than Ye Gucheng?
Hehe, with all due respect, I really haven't seen it.
Ye Guhong thought that if he didn’t have it, he would have it. Don’t you see that his cousin is also a self-taught man. He practiced swords against the sea from five to nine every day to comprehend the supreme swordsmanship. Since he can do it, he should also be able to do it.
As the son of the old Ye family, he is quite confident in his talent in martial arts. Even in the talented Wudang sect, there is no one among the younger generation who is stronger and more diligent than him. Many years of hard training gave him the illusion that although he is not strong enough to surpass his cousin, he can still make the other party nod and praise him.
No, not that he wanted to, but had to.
Gripping the hilt tighter, he struggled to draw strength from the blade.
He wanted to win Ye Gucheng's praise.
Ye Gucheng said coldly: "Let's begin."
As if a thunderbolt fell from a sunny day, it fell fiercely on the dry land, Ye Guhong bit his lip, and with a little light work on his feet, the person disappeared in an instant, and landed in front of City Lord Ye.
The Wudang School's swordsmanship has been passed down for hundreds of years, and after countless generations of thinking and improvement, it can be said to be the most accomplished swordsmanship in the world. With Ye Guhong's current experience, he can't make any changes on top of it, but he can Be flexible and flexible.
Ye Gucheng didn't take the lead, he almost waited slowly for Ye Guhong to demonstrate his proud Wudang swordsmanship in front of him.
There are only 36 moves in total. If you can't kill within 36 moves, then it is useless. With Ye Guhong's ability, you can see blood within ten moves, and you can cut the enemy under the sword with twenty moves.
But the opponents he faced before were only second-rate and third-rate masters, and at most they were first-rate end players. He himself entered the top ranks in the Jianghu in his teens, which should be regarded as a good achievement, but compared to Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng. It's far from it.
Ye Gucheng saw that he had finished using the 36 moves, and sighed silently in his heart. The sword that had been useless until now was finally lifted.
one move.
With just one move, he can break through the 36 styles of the Wudang School.
Ye Guhong's face turned pale immediately.
Ye Gucheng looked at him, nothing could be seen in his eyes, he was standing in the backlight, Ye Guhong raised his head, he could only see a white dress, and the face of the other party whose expression could not be seen clearly.
However, when Ye Gucheng opened his mouth, he could guess the expression of the other party.
Because his voice is really too cold, not like a clear spring in a mountain stream, but like white snow floating on the top of a snow peak.
Ye Gucheng said: "You have been away for a few years, and you have learned these things?"
Ye Guhong's heart has sunk to the bottom.
Ye Gucheng's next sentence confirmed his conjecture: "Since you have learned this way, don't go out."
Squatting down on Feixian Island to practice swordsmanship, the achievements will definitely be much better than wasting time in Wudang School.
Ye Guhong locked himself in the room.
He has lived in this room since he was a child, and walking two rooms to the right is Ye Gucheng's room. From the position of the room, it can be seen how much Ye Gucheng attaches importance to his cousin.
In various senses, he was really raised as a son.
He knew very well in his heart that his cousin's support and love for him was due to the fact that only the two of them were left in Ye's family. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they depended on each other for life.
But he let his cousin down.
No matter how hard he tried to recall, he couldn't remember Ye Gucheng's expression at that time, but he knew that the 36 moves he had practiced hard for many years, the opponent only seemed to inadvertently pick up the sword, and he was powerless to fight back.
Between him and Ye Gucheng, there is a huge gap that even Nu Washi cannot bridge.
Disappointment with himself and resentment towards his past life surged deep in his heart. What exactly did he gain after so many years of hard training.
Even a sword from my cousin couldn't resist it.
What a shame.
Falling into infinite self-remorse, he couldn't even remember what his original intention for coming to Feixian Island was.
Ye Gucheng's mentality is much more peaceful than Ye Guhong thought.
In other words, because the other party's expectations were too high and his nerves were too tense, he misunderstood what Ye Gucheng meant.
In Ye City Lord's opinion, although the young man can't meet his requirements, he is still good at using the sword. In any case, he is much stronger than the most famous Su Erxia among the three heroes and four talents.
Su Shaoying:? ? ?
What does it matter to me?
Su Shaoying's master is Dugu Yihe, whether it is the elder of the Wudang sect or Ye Gucheng, their strength is comparable to that of Dugu Yihe. From this point of view, when it comes to teaching apprentices, other people are really better than the masters of the Emei sect. The door is much better.
So the problem is not with Ye Guhong, but with Ye Gucheng.
His evaluation standards are too strict, and the requirements are too high.
No way, who told Ye Chengzhu that he has no experience in teaching people?Not only does he have no experience in teaching others, he even relies on self-exploration to practice swords by himself.
When I was young, there were indeed teachers who could give me some advice, but people like him were probably born for swordsmanship. It may take others 50 years to achieve greatness, but he can achieve what other people can achieve in [-] years in ten years. Therefore, the existence of the swordsmanship teacher, who only had symbolic meaning, was quickly eliminated by Lord Ye.
The rest is to keep groping on the road to becoming a fairy by yourself.
The special experience caused him to misunderstand the speed of others' sword learning, because everyone practiced sword for more than two hours just like him.
Ye Guhong was influenced by his cousin, and he had a strong interest in kendo since he was a child, but his enlightenment was later than Ye Gucheng. Gu Hong knew that he did not decide his own path until he was seven or eight years old.
Then came the high-intensity training. Every day, Ye Gucheng personally watched him practicing sword together, feeling the magnificence of the sea, the rising sun at dawn, and the setting sun in the evening.
Most of my childhood was occupied by the magnificent seascape and the sword in my hand.
Having been trained in this way since he was a child, Ye Guhong's starting point is not 01:30 higher than others at all. He even thought that this is how swords should be trained. reality.
By the time he "run away from home" at the age of 14, he had achieved some success in swordsmanship, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was among the top masters in the world.
But when he got out of the island, he found out that other people's sword practice is not like him and his cousin. Even the very famous Wudang sect can only practice sword for more than an hour a day, and it is not like his fellow Ye. Gucheng is so focused.
Ye Gucheng paid extra attention when raising his younger brother. He did not directly teach him the Flying Immortal from Heaven, but practiced some basic sword moves for ten years. Even the sword manual is the best of all schools Only show it to him, there is no specific sword move at all.
The purpose is that one day he will be able to realize something by himself and create his own moves.
When he was naturally rejected by Ximen Chuuxue and entered Wudang Mountain, the master on that mountain was overjoyed, of course needless to say, they not only picked up a piece of rough jade, but also said it was a well-carved jade. No matter what, Ye Guhong was immediately decided to become his disciple without any hesitation.
When Ye Guhong entered Wudang, he still practiced his sword diligently every day, but due to the general environment, his level of diligence was definitely not as good as when he was in Baiyun City. After spending six years in Wudang Mountain, he came back like this A look that made Ye Gucheng hate iron for not being steel.
City Lord Ye has only one criterion for judging, which is definitely not as good as when he was 20 years old.
Because the standard he set was different, he could only suffer from Ye Guhong who was hit hard.
Ever since Ye Gucheng knocked him over with a sword, Ye Guhong has been in a dazed state, but because his cousin stared at him with a frozen face outside, even if he was depressed, he wouldn't be depressed for long.
Because Ye Gucheng would drag him out of the house.
As a parent, City Master Ye combined two qualities, enlightened and Spartan.
It seems that they are two completely opposite words, but he can perfectly integrate them together.
Ye Guhong longed for the outside world, he yearned for it, he went out and had a look if he wanted to, he didn't care, as long as he sent the message back on time, and he didn't die outside the island.
But when Ye Gucheng found out that his cousin's study outside the island could not meet his expectations, even far below, then he couldn't do whatever he wanted.
He has to do something, the power to intervene.
So, on the second day of Ye Guhong's ignorance, he was dragged by his cousin from the warm but not soft bed, and got up early to practice sword.
What to do if you are not good at swordsmanship, practice!
If one hour is not enough, two hours is enough, proficiency can always go up.
From the second day Ye Guhong returned to Baiyun City, the number of people practicing swords on the beach changed from one to two.
It never stops.
Ye Guhong devoted himself to practicing sword in Feixian Island, enjoying himself, but the people outside the island were devastated because of his disappearance.
The Wudang faction is in Wudang Mountain, and the people on the mountain, whether men, women, old or young, are all immortal.
Maybe they used to be like ordinary people, but after ten or eight years on Wudang Mountain, they will be more like Taoist priests than Taoist priests.
Compared with other disciples who entered the mountain sect at a young age, Ye Guhong must be an outlier, but he is an outlier with pure inner strength, the head sect saw it as a treasure, and said that it was impossible to drive him out.
It's too late to cherish, don't even say that you took the initiative to push it outside.
But even if he has high martial arts skills, there is one thing that force cannot make up for.
That is trust.
If he has never been with other Wudang disciples day and night, he will not be close, not to mention that he is obsessed with swordsmanship, except for practicing swords every day, how can he have so much time to communicate with other disciples.
He is not trusted, and naturally he will not know the secret.
Ye Guhong only said that Mu Taoist's elders are powerful and respected, the relationship between disciples of the same generation is harmonious, what is the shocking secret of the ghost villa, and how many people have joined the ghost villa, these things are not known at all.
Since Ye Gucheng has read the original book and has God's perspective, he naturally has a good idea of these things, so he is very satisfied with the situation that Ye Guhong doesn't know, it's better to say that he planned it.
In the original book, the relationship between Ye Guhong and Ye Gucheng is unclear, it is only said that he entered Wudang Mountain at the age of four, and has been practicing swords for twenty years.
City Lord Ye thinks about it carefully, and thinks it is very possible, because Ye Guhong's parents went there when he was four years old. If he had no special care for this cousin, staying in Baiyun City would be better than entering Wudang Mountain.
However, the Lord Ye at that time was not some overseas flying fairy, but a workaholic with a mysterious burden of idols. The only blood relative was naturally the next one, so it fundamentally cut off his early entry into Wudang.
City Master Ye never thought that he didn't enter Wudang when he was four years old, and he went to Wudang Mountain after more than ten years clamoring to walk the world with his sword. It is absurd to say that this sect only accepts children , is easily broken.
Ye Gucheng had been worried for a long time before, but after seeing that Taoist Mu didn't have much trust in Ye Guhong, he was not prepared to develop him into the ghost villa, so he let go of his hanging heart.
But the problem now is that although Ye Guhong does not have Mu Taoist's complete trust, Shi Yan, the next head of Wudang School, admires him very much. Dogs never come back.
This result was absolutely unacceptable to him.
He asked his disciples: "Ye Guhong, are you back?"
The disciple said: "No."
Unwilling to give up, he asked again: "Then is there a letter?"
The disciple said again: "No."
Shi Yan let out a long sigh, and sat on the chair, thinking that he was too naive to give Ye Guhong a few more instructions before he left.
Does he know Ye Guhong's identity?At first, of course I didn't know.
Back then, even if he brought a whole body of pure internal energy into Wudang Mountain, he didn't say much about where he came from, only that his hometown was in the South China Sea Islands, and nothing else was mentioned.
Although Shi Yan and Taoist Mu had some doubts about his words, Ye Guhong was only a young man at that time, no, considering his age, it is not an exaggeration to say that he was a child. The turmoil seemed to be sincerely cast, so he accepted it directly.
Regardless of the internal strength and comprehension of the root, such a good seedling is rare in these years.
What's more, Ye Gucheng was still unknown at that time. If he had become famous at that time, just because of Ye Guhong's name and his origin from the South China Sea islands, people would feel that people would have deep doubts. They were all held back in Baiyun City without causing a storm, and as time passed, no one pursued Ye Guhong's identity.
But today is different from the past. Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, became famous in the first battle, and for some reason he made friends with people like Dugu Yihe Ximen Chuuxue. None of them dare to say that their strength is higher than Ye Gucheng.
There was Jiang Ruhua in the front, and there was a famous martial artist in the back. Ye Gucheng's name spread all over the rivers and lakes in a day, and it couldn't be more popular.
Moreover, he is not only superb in martial arts, but also very important.
There are many types of heroes in the Jianghu, the top identities are nothing more than three, a prodigal son like Lu Xiaofeng, a respected elder like a Mu Taoist, and an aristocrat like Ximen Chuuxue.
There is a city called Ye Gucheng, which is undoubtedly the nobleman among the nobles.
For such a hero to say that he is not qualified to intervene in major affairs of the world is simply unacceptable.
The sect headed by Wudang convened a meeting of heroes from all over the world, saying that there was no Ye Gucheng, which seemed a bit out of the way.
But when it comes to finding Ye Gucheng, it seems that it is not a very simple matter. Even though they have great sects and many capable people, none of them has any contact with this upstart martial artist. When the other party came to Wudang Mountain to talk about it, it was very inappropriate to think about it.
Ye Guhong was the savior who stood up when everyone was devastated.
He said to Shi Yan at that time: "Leave the delivery of the letter to me."
Although Shi Yan was very happy that the disciple he admired could stand up, he was a little suspicious in his heart. He said, "How do you say that?"
Ye Guhong has been addicted to cosplaying Ximen Chuuxue all the year round. Although he is still young, he has turned himself into a big block of ice. It is really difficult to see him smile.
When he smiled, the ice and snow melted, and the spring blossomed.
Ye Guhong said: "My hometown is Baiyun City."
He was proud when he said this, because Ye Guhong knew that Baiyun City is a very good place, the beauty and wealth there are incomparable to any city in the Central Plains, even the Forbidden City, he wants to go far away.
He is proud of his hometown, and even more proud of the city lord who made Baiyun City so rich.
When Taoist Mu heard his words, his eyelids twitched, and he hid his body that was already in the shadows even more.
He has always shown others that he doesn't admire fame and wealth. Even if he knows that some of the disciples of the Wudang School have extraordinary backgrounds, he can't express his shock and appreciation too much.
The people present are so smart, and the lord of Baiyun City has become famous recently. Hearing what Ye Guhong said, no one would have guessed where the Baiyun City he was talking about was.
The second question came one after another. His hometown is Baiyun City, and his name is so similar to Ye Gucheng. The older people thought of the pure internal force that Ye Guhong had when he started.
His identity, could it be...
The elder was so impatient that he asked at that time: "City Lord Baiyun, what is the relationship with you?"
Ye Guhong said proudly: "It's my cousin."
Although he doesn't like to decorate himself with the glory of others, Ye Gucheng's relatives are something to be proud of no matter what.
Ye Guhong is a young man. Although compared with other young people, he is already quite calm, but occasionally he is a little impetuous. Now calling out the relationship with his cousin is not without the meaning of showing off, but other than that, it is more pride.
Ye Gucheng was already worthy of being proud of him.
People from the Wudang faction were shocked when they heard this sentence, as if Ye Guhong's superior strength suddenly had a reason, and his family background also gained a lot of glory from the unknown little pitiful, even when the elders looked at him I don't know how many times they are all amiable.
His social status was already high, but with the blessing of Ye Gucheng's halo, it became even more shining.
Shi Yan said decisively: "I will leave this matter to you."
Since they are such close cousins, who else is more qualified for this task than Ye Guhong.
But Shi Yan never thought at the time that this younger generation who had received much attention would go to Baiyun City once and never return, not even sending a letter.
He was a little nervous at the time, thinking that it wasn't that something happened to him on the road, something went wrong, so that he didn't reply to the letter until now.
Feeling uneasy, he immediately sent someone to inquire, but the result was very smooth. When the ship that took Ye Guhong to Feixian Island had returned, it was docked steadily on the shore. There was no trace, and they didn't know where he went.
Shi Yan thought that there was really no way, could it be that the two brothers hadn't seen each other for many years and wanted to talk at night by candlelight?But even if it's reminiscing about the past, it won't go on for so many days without an end.
He finally couldn't find a reason to deceive himself, and faced the bleak reality.
Ye Guhong, could it be that he was detained by the Lord of Baiyun City?
What was the reason for the deduction?His first reaction was that City Master Ye was very dissatisfied with the plan made by the Wudang faction. If he was satisfied, why would he detain their disciples and not even send a letter?
When you think about it that way, it's very convincing.
After sighing and sighing for many days, Shi Yan thought about it and came up with an idea. If the other people who were detained were okay, it was Ye Guhong. Although he is a non-wilder who has become a monk halfway, but his strength is there after all. Every time he takes him out to meet people, he will choose Ye Guhong. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a young talent and a young hero.
Now it is completely unreasonable to say that if you are detained, you will be detained.
Looking at Shi Yan with cold eyes and worrying, Mu Taoist said: "I heard that Lu Xiaofeng has a good relationship with Baiyun City Lord."
Not only good, but also one of his very few friends.
In desperation, Shi Yan could only find Lu Xiaofeng and said, "You can't force City Lord Ye to participate in the Heroes' Meeting. I just hope that Daxia Lu can make it easier for me to bring my disciple back from Baiyun City."
Lu Xiaofeng grinned when he heard this, and he said: "It is said that an elder brother is like a father. I heard from Daoist Shi that your disciple is much younger than City Lord Ye. If they have a deep brotherhood or City Lord Ye is not willing to send him I have no choice but to go back to Wudang Mountain."
How could Shi Yan not know this truth, but no matter what, he didn't agree to let him let go of Ye Guhong, so he could only smile wryly: "I only hope that Lu Daxia can bring the aspirations of Wudang to the world, and the rest, Let City Lord Ye decide."
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Okay."
He just wanted to go to Baiyun City to see how the Lord Ye's injury was recovering. As for helping the Wudang faction, these are trivial matters.
The corner of Lu Xiaofeng's mouth twitched when he thought of the group of heroes organized by the other party. He really didn't think that Lord Ye would be able to join, and since he withdrew to the small island in the South China Sea after the Jinpeng Dynasty's affairs, it could be seen that Lord Ye must not like it. Temperament to join in the fun and bump into trouble.
Not to mention the child's play of gathering all the strength of the martial arts to destroy the Demon Cult.
Even Lu Xiaofeng didn't want to participate.
The Western Devil's Cult is the Western Demon's Cult. He couldn't bear to participate in taking advantage of the death of the leader of the Western Demonic Cult and all the insignificant things.
Listen to it is really unreliable.
Lu Xiaofeng sighed, in this world, I am afraid that only old and famous families like Wudang would be interested in these things, maybe there are also famous "heroes" and "heroes" in the world.
He is a prodigal son, as long as he does what a prodigal son should do.
Seeing friends, drinking fine wine, this is the life a person should have.
Thinking of his friends, Lu Xiaofeng smiled, not knowing what happened to Ye Gucheng now.
Ye Gucheng who is far away in Baiyun City: his nose is a little itchy.
He looked at Ye Guhong who was practicing sword on the beach, and suddenly thought of a big or small thing.
In other words, Ye Guhong, who has been wandering abroad for six years but suddenly returned to his hometown, what is going on with him?
