Chapter 182: The Yellow Millet Immortal who makes people feel exceptionally interesting
"Lei Wujie, you are not here to apprentice in Snow Moon City? The Snow Moon Sword Immortal is right in front of you; why don't you kneel down and kowtow to apprentice?" the young green-robed Daoist suddenly said.
"I apprentice to the Snow Moon Sword Immortal?" Lei Wujie had a look of surprise, wondering if he was worthy.
Because Li Hanyi had been indifferent to the outside world for these years, focusing on practicing sword techniques in seclusion in Cangshan, she now saw that Lei Wujie didn't recognize her at all, which inevitably made her feel guilty and ashamed, not knowing how to recognize him.
Or perhaps she had long wanted to use the method of taking an apprentice to get close to him, so she said:
"Why, am I not worthy to be your master?"
"No, no." Lei Wujie waved his hands repeatedly:
"The reason why the junior wants to ask for a sword duel is because my master once told me that he practiced the sword because he had seen the senior's sword strike. Over the years, he has often thought of that sword strike he once saw, hoping to see the senior again."
"Now that my master is tied up by other matters and cannot leave the Lei Family Fort, the junior boldly requests the senior to go to the Lei Family Fort to see my master."
At this time, the young green-robed Daoist said nonchalantly:
"Since it is bold, don't say it. This poor Daoist took the initiative to come to Snow Moon City. How much face does Lei Hong have to let the dignified Snow Moon Sword Immortal condescend to go to the Lei Family Fort?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the field became quite strange.
Sikong Changfeng coughed lightly:
"That's true. Both are existences that rarely leave home, but one lets the disciple come, while the other comes in person. The gap is truly a bit big."
"Little Brother Sikong, you missed one point. It's not just the gap in being a person; the most critical thing is that this world is exceptionally partial to those who look good, while for those who are mediocre, the malice is particularly obvious."
The young green-robed Daoist said leisurely:
"If this poor Daoist stands with the Snow Moon Sword Immortal, it will only make people feel pleasing to the eye. If it were Lei Hong, people would only feel that a flower is inserted in cow dung, which is truly a pity."
Immediately, Sikong Qianluo and the two little Daoists couldn't help but laugh, and Tang Lian also had a look of being unable to hold back his laughter.
A smile also appeared on Li Hanyi's beautiful face under the mask, only feeling that someone's shamelessness was exactly the same as before.
Afterward, her heart moved slightly, and she used the sword control technique to nail the Slaughtering Sword on the ground onto the plaque of the Dengtian Pavilion, saying:
"Considering that Lei Hong raised you to be acceptable enough to be my disciple, if you apprentice to me, whenever you can take three of my sword strikes and retrieve this Slaughtering Sword, I will follow you to the Lei Family Fort."
When Lei Wujie heard this, a look of hesitation appeared on his face.
"This silly kid must be thinking that the Snow Moon Sword Immortal's sword technique is miraculous, so naturally, he is willing to apprentice. However, without his own master's consent, if he rashly agrees, wouldn't it be failing his master's kindness?"
The young green-robed Daoist said with a smile:
"If it were this poor Daoist, I would definitely say, 'Since the Sword Immortal is so sincere in requesting, then I will reluctantly agree. From now on, if I don't learn well, you are not allowed to punish me, because if I don't learn well, it's all because the master didn't teach well.'"
"And if I cause trouble outside, you have to cover for me."
He walked to Lei Wujie's side and patted him on the shoulder:
"Actually, once the apprenticeship is successful, you don't have to work hard to practice the sword. When walking in the Jianghu, just saying 'My master is the Snow Moon Sword Immortal' will scare people to death."
"And then say, 'My Lei Wujie's head is here, who dares to kill me—'"
Before the young green-robed Daoist finished speaking, a bone-chilling coldness came quickly. He instantly hid behind Lei Wujie, and the coldness cut a crack in the ground.
"Zhao Haizhen, is this how you teach the younger generation?" Li Hanyi said, enunciating every word.
"Little Brother Lei, why don't you kneel down and apprentice? Anyway, if this poor Daoist doesn't get any benefits today, I will definitely pull you to be a cushion."
As the young green-robed Daoist spoke, he kicked Lei Wujie on the calf, making him kneel on one knee, and then said with a full face of smiles:
"Look, after my guidance, this silly kid has figured it out."
After speaking, he casually punched him on the head:
"Speak!"
Such a scene made everyone look speechless and also gave them a deeper understanding of someone's temperament.
Immediately, Lei Wujie seemed to have completely made up his mind, knelt on both knees, cupped his fists, and said in a deep voice:
"Disciple Lei Wujie, apprentices to the Snow Moon Sword Immortal. If Master Lei Hong blames me in the future, Lei Wujie will die to apologize for the kindness of the two masters."
"Come to Cangshan to find me tomorrow."
As Li Hanyi turned to leave, she added:
"Once the appointment is made."
"Ten thousand mountains cannot stop me," Lei Wujie said with determination.
She paused suddenly: "Zhao Haizhen, why don't you follow?"
"It is safer to stay by Little Brother Lei's side. He is the only disciple of the Snow Moon Sword Immortal. If I encounter danger, I only need to protect him in front of me, and I will definitely be able to keep myself safe."
Zhuang Buran said with great solemnity:
"I think the Snow Moon Sword Immortal will definitely stand up for me."
When everyone heard this, most of them laughed until their shoulders twitched. Hearing him say he would protect him in front of him and then wanting to use the Snow Moon Sword Immortal to deal with Li Hanyi, they felt that this Yellow Millet Immortal was exceptionally interesting. If they got along with him, they were afraid they would have fun to watch every day.
Looking at the two in front of them, one cold and detached, the other casual and scattered, they felt that their temperaments were very complementary, instead setting off a kind of harmony.
"Then you can just stay by his side forever," Li Hanyi's mouth twitched, and she leaped up and disappeared into the horizon.
Ten days later, on a starry night.
In a courtyard, Li Fansong, Lei Wujie, Xiao Se, and Tang Lian sat drinking together.
"I have been practicing sword techniques on the mountain with my master these days, but I can't even draw the Listen to Rain sword my master gave me."
"The most hateful thing is that when my sword practice is not up to standard, my master gives me a blow on the head, and that Zhao Haizhen points fingers on the side, saying it was too light, too light, and that only by striking hard can one remember the lesson."
Lei Wujie complained with a bitter face about the arduous process of practicing the sword.
"The sword forged by the Sword Heart Tomb is different from ordinary sword weapons. It is said that the last step of their sword forging is to cut the palm and feed the sword with blood, so the forged swords have a sword soul attached and are very spiritual."
Tang Lian comforted him warmly:
"In terms of your aptitude, drawing this Listen to Rain sword is just a matter of time."
"It is indeed very spiritual. I found that the Listen to Rain sword is very afraid of Zhao Haizhen."
When Lei Wujie said this, he couldn't help but show extreme curiosity:
"Senior Brother, what stories do my master Lei Hong and Master Li Hanyi have with Zhao Haizhen of Wangcheng Mountain?"
"I have only heard the Great Master talk about the Second Master's affairs. It is said that after the Second Master finished his apprenticeship, he entered the Jianghu to challenge experts from all walks of life, and then sought out the Yellow Millet Immortal, who was the most unfathomable."
"The two fought three times. The first time, the Second Master used the Listen to Rain sword to fight him."
"Zhao Haizhen only used two fingers to clamp the sword edge of the Second Master, and then said a sentence that despised the swordsmen and blade-wielders of the world."
Tang Lian paused and said:
"Only the weak use blades and swords; to rely on the sharpness of a blade to strike back and win against the strong with the weak."
"After saying this, if Zhao Haizhen hadn't held back, I fear the Listen to Rain sword would have been broken."
Lei Wujie was suspicious and couldn't believe that such arrogant and domineering words came from the mouth of the lazy Daoist of today.
Li Fansong and Xiao Se, even if they knew a little about someone's unfathomability, didn't expect that the Daoist who always liked to toss people around had the demeanor of such a peerless expert.
"The second time they fought, the Second Master found the Iron Horse Ice River, which ranked third in the sword manual, but was still defeated in one move."
"This time, Zhao Haizhen used his finger as a sword and struck out a peerless sword move that could destroy all tangible things in the world. And because he is someone who refuses to suffer a loss, he made a bet with the Second Master before the fight."
Lei Wujie, who liked listening to Jianghu stories most, hurriedly asked:
"What bet?"
"I don't know." Tang Lian took a sip of wine:
"I only know that the Second Master stayed on Wangcheng Mountain for ten days. The third fight was a year later, and it was agreed that if he could break the sword move that defeated him before, Zhao Haizhen would descend the mountain with him."
"By the time of the third fight, although the Second Master thought of a way to break the move, his cultivation realm was not as good as the unfathomable Zhao Haizhen, and he eventually failed to break the move."
"After the fight, Zhao Haizhen pointed out the flaws in his sword move and spoke of the essence of the Second Master's sword technique, saying that as long as the Second Master reached the half-step Wandering God realm, he could easily break this sword move."
"So they agreed on a fourth fight. As long as the Second Master was sure he could break his sword move, he would immediately return to secular life and descend the mountain, never to return to Wangcheng Mountain."
"For more than ten years, because the Second Master was not sure, he has been practicing sword techniques in seclusion in Cangshan."
"And the end of the third fight was when Lei Hong came to Wangcheng Mountain to ask for a sword duel. The Second Master helped Wangcheng Mountain block him, and he later closed himself in the Lei Sect to practice the sword, claiming that if he didn't become a Sword Immortal, he would never leave seclusion."
Lei Wujie suddenly realized:
"So, that's why my master Li Hanyi was so surprised when she saw Zhao Haizhen take the initiative to descend the mountain to Snow Moon City."
"The self-trapping situation of the three finally ended with Zhao Haizhen breaking the situation first."
