Chapter 25: Continue to Fool People

Every time Er Gouzi comes to see Li Banxian, he must buy a piece of fat meat to honor his master.

Although every time I buy meat, I feel a little hesitant and feel sorry for the money, but I am not willing to eat fat meat.

But the master is an outstanding person in the world, a god-like figure. He is so kind to me that he deserves this piece of pork.

"Master, I can crush rocks!"

The first time the master and apprentice met, Er Gouzi naturally wanted to share the joy of success with his master.

He is able to achieve what he is today because of his master's guidance.

"How is that possible?"

Li Banxian instinctively felt that it was impossible, how could human fingers crush the stone.

It's not like he hasn't practiced these shabby skills before. Apart from increasing his appetite, he will waste a few more bowls of rice and it will do nothing.

As for the grinding of stone into powder every time I perform, I still have some idea in my mind.

But soon he also realized that he was speechless and continued.

"How could it be so fast?"

As Li Banxian spoke, he picked up a stone from the ground and placed it on the table for Ergouzi to pinch it.

"Crush this stone and show it to me."

Ergouzi picked up the stone on the table and secretly circulated his Qi.

"Bang"

Rubbles scattered everywhere, and a piece of bluestone the size of an egg was crushed into pieces by him, breaking into several pieces.

Li Banxian trembled and pulled at his sparse beard, still unable to conceal the excitement in his heart.

When he picked up the stone, he confirmed that it was a real stone and not a prop.

Did you just make a mistake and accidentally pick up a prop stone?

Not giving up, he picked up a small piece of stone crushed by Ergouzi and retracted his hand into his sleeve to squeeze it hard.

pinch!

Squeeze hard!

Grind your teeth!

His face turned red, and the little stone didn't move at all.

Li Banxian once again fell into deep self-doubt and entanglement.

However, so many years of professionalism have made him calm and calm.

"Not bad! Not bad!"

"Being able to crush a stone is considered a small achievement."

"However, it is all based on violence, but it still lacks some fire."

Li Banxian felt that it was getting harder and harder to fool him, and he felt very stressed.

"Master's lesson is right. In front of Master, this little skill of this disciple is just like... like those fireflies... competing with the sun and the moon."

Although Ergouzi's cultivation is faster, the enlightenment reading is a book with no beginning or end.

At this moment, I wanted to imitate an educated person and say a few decent words to be modest, but my words came out stumbling.

“It’s pretty good, but it still needs work.”

After all, Li Banxian was an old man, and he quickly struggled out of his mental exhaustion. At this moment, he was calm and calm, showing the demeanor of a master.

"How are you doing with your basic sword skills?"

"I can already practice basic sword styles with a 60-pound epee."

Ergouzi answered truthfully.

He can now easily lift a 500-pound boulder with both arms.

But if you want to practice those basic sword postures with one hand holding the sword and move the sword freely, 60 pounds is more suitable.

Of course, it would be another matter if he moved his true energy to the arm holding the sword.

"Well, it's not bad. You need to keep working hard. When you can use a 100-pound epee, your master can teach you a set of sword techniques."

Li Banxian said some words of encouragement and sent Er Gouzi away.

After Er Gouzi left, Li Banxian took out an old swordsmanship book, spread it on the table and started copying it.

The original book stated that you only need to be able to use a 10-jin heavy sword before you can start practicing swordsmanship. In order to increase the difficulty for Ergouzi, he just changed it to a 100-jin heavy sword.

At this time, he began to copy the sword skills. In order to prevent Ergouzi from learning it quickly, he modified various data several times.

There are not many things in his hand that can be used to fool Ergouzi. If they are all trained, he will have nothing to teach.

Er Gouzi returned to the mountain and practiced hard every day. The true energy in Ren and Du's two meridians gradually filled up, and his strength became stronger day by day.

After tasting the sweetness of Peiyuan Gubenwan, he went to Hong'antang in the county seat again.

But I couldn't buy Peiyuan Guben Pills. This expensive pill is very popular and is temporarily out of stock in the store.

Without Peiyuan Gubenwan, he could only practice hard like a cow every day and continue to eat ginseng and stewed pork.

Perhaps because of the lack of medicinal properties, eating too much ginseng can easily lead to internal heat and nose bleeding.

Although the strength has not improved by leaps and bounds during this period, it has also improved steadily and is particularly solid.

Practice using the epee to increase the weight step by step.

65 pounds, 70 pounds, 85 pounds...

After another half a year, Er Gouzi had tied all the iron pieces he had made to the sword.

…………

Sanchazi Town.

"Master, I can already use a 100-pound epee!"

Ergouzi carried a heavy sword to announce the good news to his master.

Li Banxian's facial muscles twitched violently, and he subconsciously wanted to say it was impossible, but fortunately, he choked back the words.

After all, a few months ago I had experienced Ergouzi's ability to break rocks with his bare hands.

"Can you really use a 100-pound epee?"

Li Banxian still looked at the sword-shaped object with many iron pieces tied on Er Gouzi's back with some suspicion.

"Yeah! That's it!"

Ergouzi responded, pulled out the sword from behind with his backhand, held it in his hand, and performed a few basic movements of stabbing, slashing, and teasing.

It looks casual and natural, and the sword doesn't seem to be heavy.

Sometimes even a few fingers can gently hook the sword in the hand.

"Show me your sword!"

Li Banxian had been fooling people for most of his life, and he judged others by himself. He subconsciously thought that maybe there was something wrong with the sword.

"Okay!"

Er Gouzi handed the sword over, and Li Banxian subconsciously took it.

However, the sword was extremely heavy when he got it, and he almost dropped it to the ground.

Li Banxian could only hold it tightly with both hands, and his old face turned red.

"Dinglingdangdang..."

In the end, Li Banxian still couldn't hold the big sword, and it fell to the ground, almost breaking his feet and spraining his waist.

Li Banxian covered his waist and took a few deep breaths. He was secretly glad that Er Gouzi turned around just now and didn't see his embarrassed look.

"This sword has a crisp sound and good quality. Pick it up yourself."

Li Banxian has been in the martial arts world for a long time and has seen all kinds of scenes. He quickly suppressed his doubts and stroked his beard with one hand to cover up his loss of composure.

Er Gouzi honestly picked up the sword and held it casually in his hand, which made Li Banxian secretly gasp several times.

This kid looks honest, but he is actually gifted. He was careless before.

If he knew that he could train such brute force, he would not dare to fool Er Gouzi casually.

If the scam was exposed one day and the 100-jin heavy sword was taken, his old bones would not be able to bear it.

But now he is riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off. He can only counter the moves and continue to fool.

Er Gouzi didn't expect that Li Banxian had so many twists and turns in his mind.

Since he followed his master to learn martial arts, he has made rapid progress and gained a lot. The various skills he has cultivated are real and true. He has long respected his master's magical powers.

"Master, do you think I am right to stab straight like this?"

Er Gouzi waved the heavy sword in his hand and stabbed forward several times, but he always felt something was wrong, and then handed the 100-jin heavy sword to Li Banxian.

"Master, can you demonstrate it for me?"

Li Banxian was secretly shocked. This was a 100-jin heavy sword, but in Er Gou's hand, it was as easy as an ordinary wooden sword.

But he had just suffered a loss, so he didn't dare to reach out to take it. He waved his sleeve casually to indicate that he didn't need it.

"You don't need to demonstrate for me. You have practiced well."

What else can Li Banxian say? If he said that he didn't practice correctly, he would have to demonstrate it himself.

Er Gou was naturally overjoyed to hear the master's approval, but he lacked confidence since he was a child, and even had a little inferiority complex.

He still lacked confidence in his basic sword style.

"Is it really okay for me to stab like this? Otherwise, Master, you should show your skills and let your disciples see it."

Li Banxian heard this and waved his hands repeatedly, asking him to demonstrate, which was tantamount to roasting him directly on the fire.

As an old charlatan who has been walking in the world for many years, he deeply understands that the fewer times he makes a move, the more mysterious and profound it appears.

In addition, he really can't hold such a big iron lump.

"No need, Master has already cultivated to a higher realm. He has long been better without a sword than with one. With a wave of his hand, he can hurt people with flying flowers and picking leaves."

"Taking a person's head from ten feet away is like taking something out of a bag."

"Basic sword moves like this are an insult to Master's hands."

Li Banxian licked his lips and organized his words in his mind.

"You have already practiced the basic sword moves. Now Master will teach you a set of sword skills."

Er Gouzi was overjoyed when he heard this. He saw Li Banxian take out a handwritten sword manual from his sleeve.

"This is the sword method passed down by Master's ancestors. It is profound and unfathomable. You must study and practice it carefully when you take it back. Don't slack off."

"Thank you, Master!"

Er Gouzi happily took the sword manual and thanked him repeatedly. He felt that Master was really good to him and taught him all the ancestral skills and sword manuals.

Every time he gave Master a piece of fat meat or a jar of old wine, he would feel sorry for the few copper coins. Now thinking about it, he really felt ashamed.

Er Gouzi finally left Sanchazi Town with the sword manual in his pocket, feeling a little guilty towards his master.

Li Banxian finally breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Er Gouzi leave.

This time, the sword manual has been changed beyond recognition by him. You probably can't practice it!
