Chapter 3 Interesting Things in the Morning

After finishing his morning exercises, his body was slightly sweaty. Although it was a little cold, the sudden lightness of his body made Shen Kuang very satisfied.

After finishing his sword practice, he was going back to his room to wash up. At this time, a voice suddenly came from the wall next to the courtyard, "Hey, little baby, you have practiced swordsmanship well!"

Shen Kuang heard the sound and looked over there, and found that it was the shopkeeper who had no wine. Although it was early morning, he was still holding the wine bottle and was slightly drunk.

"Old man, thank you!" He smiled slightly, his smile pure and gentle.

After hearing Shen Kuang's words, the shopkeeper did not continue to be polite as he expected. Instead, he was a little unhappy. He jumped off the wall and staggered to him and said, "You little kid, you can't treat me just because I have a lot of gray hair." Call me an old man, I am only 47 years old, still middle-aged!”

Of course he wasn't really angry, it was just that Shen Kuang called him old and felt a little unhappy!

However, he basically has white hair. Although his face has no wrinkles and his sword- shaped eyebrows and starry eyes look quite upright, but just guessing his age, Shen Kuang still thinks that he is over fifty years old.

The master also had white hair, but there were only a few strands, and this man had too many white hairs, so he respectfully called him an old man from the beginning.

Naturally, he didn't expect the old man to have such a reaction. He just found it interesting, so he asked, "Then what should I call you?"

The old man didn't care about Shen Kuang's rudeness, he just laughed and said, "People in the world should be called as they are in the world. I'm a generation older than you, so you can call me Senior Han. How about that?"

When Shen Kuang heard this, he cupped his hands and respectfully called Senior Han . The shopkeeper's eyebrows relaxed and he laughed again!

Suddenly, he asked again , "Little baby, what is your name?"

"Senior, my name is Shen Kuang!" Shen Kuang's tone was sincere and respectful. After hearing this, the old man lowered his head and thought for a while, "Shen Kuang? Shen Kuang!"

After repeating his name several times, Shen Kuang laughed again. Seeing this, Shen Kuang was a little confused for a moment. He didn't know why this senior was happy at this time.

After a while, Senior Han took a sip of wine, smacked his lips and asked abruptly, "Did you come to Qiuluo City to go to Yunmeng Mountain?"

Hearing his words, Shen Kuang was shocked, "How did senior know?"

Seeing that he was right, Senior Han laughed loudly, "It must be your master who asked you to come here!" At this time, his tone was even more proud, as if he knew everything.

Shen Kuang asked himself that he had never seen this senior before. After hearing his words, he was slightly stunned, and he was really shocked.

"Senior and master are old acquaintances?"

Even if you know the master, you may not be able to guess the purpose of his trip at once. In recent days, no one has visited the master, and this senior has never been seen. But apart from the current reason, he couldn't give any other answer for the moment.

"More than just acquaintance! He also owes me a bottle of wine!"

After saying that, he continued, "Don't be surprised, the sword you are carrying was passed down to you by your master, right! Yesterday I saw a thing or two, and I wanted to confirm it today, but I didn't see the sword technique you practiced until now Then I was convinced!”

Shen Kuang nodded! It was a response to what Senior Han said. "Senior also knows this swordsmanship?"

"Of course we know each other! How many years have passed? I didn't expect you to learn it well. Hehe, it is possible for you to learn the swordsmanship that even your master has never learned. It's wonderful, it's wonderful!" said Senior Han. Outside of the words, he praised this set of swordsmanship, and he didn't forget to pat him on the shoulder.

"Do you really want to know why your master asked you to go to Yunmeng Mountain?" After a moment, Senior Han spoke again, and he hit the key point of Shen Kuang in just one sentence. He really wanted to know, he had always been .

"Master wants me to propose marriage?"

"Proposing for whom?"

"Me!" Senior Han would laugh every time Shen Kuang said something, and the more he laughed, the more proud he became , which made him more and more confused.

"Hahaha, if your master doesn't tell me, I can't tell you everything. I guess you won't be able to run away! Hahaha , it's useless for your master to be known as a sword god. I didn't expect that after more than twenty years, Still so timid.”

Shen Kuang wanted to ask again, but Senior Han didn't want to continue talking on this issue. After taking a few more sips of wine, he changed direction. "When are you going to worship the mountain?"

"Just, today!"

"You've got your things! If you have some armor, wear more. If you can make it down the mountain completely, come to my place first. I'll let Shigure cook some food and treat you little kid to a drink!"

"Ah? Senior, the master didn't give me any armor!"

Senior Han shrugged, "Neither did I." After speaking, he patted Shen Kuang's shoulder and said with a smile, "Boy, please wish yourself well!"

"Senior, what should I do if I don't know how to drink?"

"Oh, my mother-in-law has a lot of things. If you want to drink, you can drink. If you don't want to drink, I will keep you here and let your master come in person. I haven't had a fight with your master in many years!"

"Senior, do you have any grudge against my master?" Shen Kuang asked.

Senior Han shook his head, "I just want to beat him!"

"Master is the master!"

Senior Han smiled hoarsely , "I'll beat you even if you're a grandmaster, and you'll beat me if you can't beat me!"

Shen Kuang also smiled when he heard this, "Senior, give me a few beatings, too!"

Hearing Shen Kuang's words, Senior Han chuckled and said, "You are indeed his disciple, you little bastard!"

"Hurry up and pack it away! Hide the sword. It's best not to be seen by the people in Yunmeng Mountain! Also, don't use the sword technique casually, otherwise you will be in trouble if others see it!"

"Why senior?" Shen Kuang asked with a slight frown.

Han smiled and said nothing and did not answer! Then he turned around and walked out of the backyard.

It wasn't until Senior Han had been gone for a long time that he came back to his senses slightly . This exchange with Senior Han made him feel a little dazed. Senior Han and his master seemed to be old acquaintances, and they seemed to be very familiar with each other, otherwise the purpose of his trip would not have been revealed so directly.

In fact, Shen Kuang noticed his assessment of him yesterday. What Shen Kuang could feel was that Senior Han was a master. He can feel the bottom of ordinary people , but the feeling that Senior Han gave him was the same as that of his master, unfathomable! No wonder Senior Han dared to talk about beating the master!

Although this little episode in the morning was insignificant, it added another layer of mystery to Shen Kuang's trip to Yunmeng Mountain. He felt more and more that something was going to happen. It wouldn't be serious, but a beating would definitely be necessary. It was as if he had received the beating on behalf of his master.

run!

This is the first word that comes to Shen Kuang's mind. Perhaps this is his only way to survive. Compared with speed, unless a master like the master takes action, ordinary warriors will not be able to catch up with him. Thinking of this, he calmed down and almost forgot about his famous stunt and flying away.

The master is indeed a master, not only in martial arts, but when it comes to cheating his disciples, a master is definitely more of a master than a master! I originally wanted to go back and use the one hundred taels to bring some jugs of good wine to the master, but now it seems that this is open to question!

······

After washing up, Shen Kuang walked out of the inn.

Senior Han was taking a nap on the cabinet, so he didn't bother him. When Shi Yu saw Shen Kuang, he smiled and said hello to him.

As soon as he went out, the sounds of hawking in the morning kept reaching his ears. It seemed like we were catching up with the morning market at this moment. There were so many people coming and going. The merchants and hawkers on the roadside stretched for miles along the street. It was impossible to see the end at a glance. The streets here were wide enough. If it were in Plum-Mist City , most of them would be there. It’s so blocked that I can’t walk!

Seeing the excitement, Shen Kuang found a breakfast stall and ate some steamed buns and white porridge, and that was today's breakfast!

After eating, he followed the route he took last night, preparing to leave the city in search of Yunmeng Mountain.

Although he felt a little resentful towards his master for tricking him, he still brought him a jug of good wine. I heard from the boss that this wine is called Fu Yuchun and it is the best wine in Qiuluo City . Just a small pot of wine cost twenty taels!

With a wine flask on his waist and a sword on his back, coupled with his gentle and jade-like temperament, he really looks like a wine-swordsman !

Qiuluo City is much busier this morning than last night. Along the way, he saw many strange and interesting things. There were children juggling and old men doing tricks. He had seen these scenes in Plum-Mist City , but the ones here were more exciting, so he stopped and watched for a long time, and he was no longer in a hurry to go to Yunmeng Mountain.

As soon as the hawker yelled at the top of his lungs, the atmosphere of the marketplace suddenly floated over the entire Qiuluo City .

In addition to these, Shen Kuang also saw many people competing in martial arts competitions along the street. The Wei people were fond of martial arts, and he knew that. Here, men, women, old and young, may be able to perform a few moves, no matter how powerful they are, their love for martial arts can be seen just from the moves, and their martial arts style can also be seen from this!

Because of selling wine and selling good wine, he wandered around the city for a long time!

At this moment, he saw another martial arts arena, and what caught his attention was that the defender was actually a woman.

The woman was dressed in white and holding a long sword. She looked quite heroic from a distance. Although she covered her appearance with a veil , she could still feel that she was a beautiful woman from her earthly aura.

She had just defeated a challenger when she bowed to him. This is the rule of the Jianghu people. Even if you are victorious, you still have to have etiquette, otherwise you will be looked down upon.

The defeated man returned the favor and praised, "Your Excellency, what a skill!"

There are no men or women in the ring. Since she dares to open the ring, she is naturally confident in her own martial arts, and the martial arts competition is more likely to end. This is also the acquiescence in everyone's heart, it is nothing more than a means of making friends! Of course, there are also some rewards, which can be regarded as rewards for those who succeed in kicking .

Xu was a woman in the ring, so she attracted many people to watch. After a while, a dense crowd of people gathered under the ring, discussing the contest between the talents.

Shen Kuang also found it interesting, so he found a position with a wide view and watched it. I don't know whether it's because Plum-Mist City is small or because the people's customs are different, but he has rarely had the opportunity to see such exciting competitions since he was a child.

After a while, someone who thought he could beat the woman in white flew directly onto the stage, ready to compete with her!

"My name is Wu Guang, and I have come here specially to learn some skills from you, young lady!" The man who spoke was a big man. Judging from the discussions among the people below, he seemed to be an expert in Qiuluo City , and was very good with a knife.

With cheers from the audience, the greetings between the two sides were completed!

When the competition started, the big man took his stance first. He shouted, held his long sword horizontally, and rushed towards the woman in white with a fierce momentum.
