Look, when Yang Guo heard the praise from his master, he was so happy that he almost couldn’t see his eyes.
But Yang Guo was happy, but Qiu Chuji was not. "What do you mean? Are you saying that my teaching as a master is not good enough? So you didn't achieve as much as Guo'er did when you were his age?"
Qiu Chuji felt that the luckiest thing in his life was that he had the divine power Wang Chongyang as his master, and what he was most proud of was that he had Yin Zhiping as his disciple.
It was also because of his disciple Yin Zhiping that he was able to stand up straight among his peers, and he was not intimidated even in front of Huang Yaoshi and Hong Qigong.
Seeing that his senior brother had the nerve to talk about this, Liu Chuxuan lowered his head and dared not face anyone: "Don't you know which generation of disciples in our Quanzhen Sect is the worst? You don't really think that Zhiping and Zhichang called you Master because you taught them, right?"
When Yin Zhiping saw his master like this, he didn’t know whether he was joking or serious. In short, he couldn’t tell. But is it really okay for you to do this?
Don’t you care about your face anymore?
What I’m saying is, everyone who knows knows what happened. Your greatest achievement was saving my life and bringing me to Mount Zhongnan. Let’s not talk about the other things, okay?
Yang Guo lowered his head to reduce his presence, muttering to himself: You can't see me, you can't see me!
Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Li Zhichang, Zhen Zhibing and others looked at each other in silence. They had not expected Qiu Chuji to say such a thing, which made everyone silent.
There was only one person who dared to confront Qiu Chuji at this time, and that was our Flying Bat, who finally found the opportunity to speak.
"What does an old Taoist priest like you have to do with Yin Zhiping's achievements? Even if others don't know, how could I know it? Just tell me, which of the Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin and the Nine Yang Divine Art was given to you, their master?"
Ke Zhenwu, who hates evil, doesn't give any face to his old friend at all.
"Well, it's getting late. Tianxue and Fu'er are still waiting for me to go back and cook. I'll leave first. I'll come see you when I have time."
Yin Zhiping didn't want to discuss it any further, otherwise his master would lose face, so he found a lame excuse and tried to leave.
Of course, he said goodbye to his wife before leaving.
With his miraculous lightness skill, Yin Zhiping disappeared in full view of everyone. A breeze blew up a wisp of fine sand, as if there was no one here.
Although it was a pity that Yin Zhiping could not continue to attack, it was a great honor for so many people present to have the opportunity to see the world's number one swordsman take action in person.
Don’t dwell on these things anymore, today’s result is already the best.
Huang Rong began to arrange personnel to handle the aftermath. After each fight, the collection and disposal of the corpses was the top priority. If it was not handled properly and a plague broke out, it would be a huge sin.
There is also the treatment of the wounded, personal merits, etc., all of which need to be counted and summarized by Huang Rong, Guo Jing and others.
Li Mochou didn't care about these things, and she couldn't do anything about them. After her husband left, she noticed that many people were looking at her.
I had only heard about the deep love between Yin Zhiping and Li Mochou before, but today I had the honor to see them. Since Yin Zhiping is not here, I can't talk to them or establish any relationship with them. So adopting a roundabout policy will be the same, or maybe it will be more effective.
Li Mochou didn't care about these people's little thoughts. She apologized to Qiu Chuji, Liu Chuxuan and others and went back to the city.
Everyone just felt sorry, but no one thought the other party was aloof or looked down on them.
Everyone has known the Sword Immortal Lady's personality for a while now, so it would be strange if she stayed and had a good chat with them.
It is normal for capable people to be eccentric, especially those who have strong personal abilities and even stronger backgrounds.
Qiu Chuji and Liu Chuxuan also took the opportunity to escape with Ke Zhen'e. Since Li Mochou was not there, they were also one of the targets of the roundabout policy, and the master's route was also a good idea.
Only Li Zhichang, Zhen Zhibing and other disciples were left to deal with these friends in the underworld.
If Quanzhen Sect wants to gain a foothold, it will inevitably have to deal with these people.
Anyway, the Quanzhen Church will be handed over to Li Zhichang and Zhen Zhibing in the future, so let them build relationships.
Chapter 217 Yang Guo's First Meeting with Lu Wushuang
Actually, Yin Zhiping was not wrong. It was getting late and he should go back to prepare meals for the two children. After promising them last time that he would not go back too late, Yin Zhiping had been paying attention to the time.
At the same time, even though you are not in the city, you cannot always eat simple barbecue. You still need to pay attention to nutritional balance.
Yin Zhiping went directly to the town dozens of miles away to purchase the food and brought it back to improve his diet. He would never say that he was greedy. The meat of the Bosuqu snake was indeed delicious, but he would get tired of it if he ate it every day.
Not to mention that Yin Zhiping continued to work as a nanny, Yang Guo started to have nothing to do after returning to the city.
He is still young, and even if Guo Jing and Huang Rong intend to train him, they will give him enough time to relax after the battle.
No matter what, Yang Guo is just a fourteen-year-old boy. No matter how mature he behaves in his daily life or how many achievements he makes on the battlefield, his psychological endurance is not much stronger than that of an adult.
The blood and fire on the battlefield will often witness the deaths of hundreds or even thousands of people. If your inner thoughts are not sorted out, big problems will arise.
This matter was also specifically mentioned by Yin Zhiping in private to Guo Jing, Huang Rong and others.
In his previous life, Yin Zhiping had heard of many examples of post-war syndrome.
Yin Zhiping just wanted Yang Guo to be more knowledgeable, but he didn't want to ruin this disciple.
Yang Guo didn't know about this. When he heard that he didn't have to stay in the conference room, he wanted to go back to practice. However, his master's wife grabbed his collar and threw him out. She gave him a strict order that he could go shopping and not come back until sunset.
Yang Guo said, what else can he do?
How could I not listen to my master's wife's words?
It wasn't the first time, so I just started strolling around.
Whether it was fate or coincidence, Yang Guo met a person on the road, a girl who was about the same age as Guo Fu.
This was the second time Yang Guo had seen someone younger than himself in Xiangyang City at that time. The first time was when Wu San Tong brought his two sons to introduce him to Uncle Guo.
Originally, Yang Guo was just a little curious and didn't want to get involved, but the girl's current situation was not very good.
Seeing that she was carrying a basket of vegetables, she should be out buying vegetables. However, when she walked past some vendors, no one was willing to sell to her. No matter how hard she begged, it was useless.
Many young and middle-aged people in Xiangyang City either joined the army to defend the city or fled with their wives and children. Many elderly people were unwilling to leave their hometowns and stayed to help the soldiers defending the city with simple logistical support and earn some money at the same time.
Yang Guo was kindhearted and couldn't bear to see this girl, who was about the same age as his sister, suffer any injustice.
Yang Guo remembered that his master had taught him that no matter what happened, one must find out the reason. There is no hatred without reason, and there is no love without reason.
Yang Guo didn't know why those people were unwilling to sell vegetables to girls, but Yang Guo was willing to understand the problem and then solve it.
It's not that Yang Guo is underestimating himself. Yang Guo believes that many people in Xiangyang City will give him face, and he should be able to help this anxious girl who is about to cry.
Yang Guo didn't go directly to the girl to ask, but instead walked over to the vendor who had previously rejected her, squatted down, and politely asked, "Old man, may I ask why you didn't want to sell vegetables to that girl? It doesn't matter who you sell to, right?"
Yang Guo is quite famous in the army. Whether it is his strength and combat achievements or his reputation as the descendant of the sword immortal, he is known to many people.
However, these people who were trying to make a living and were unwilling to leave their hometown might have heard of Yang Guo's name, but they had definitely never seen him. They only thought that this child had an unusual temperament, but was polite and knew to squat down to talk to him.
"This matter is about that person in her family who violated military discipline. I think his name is Lu Zhanyuan. He deserted his post without permission. Tell me, so many people in Xiangyang City risked their lives to defend their country, and yet such a cancer appeared. Even if I don't make any money, I would throw away all these vegetables rather than sell them to that cancer."
Only then did Yang Guo realize that the little girl was a relative of Lu Zhanyuan, and might be his daughter.
Yang Guo had heard of Lu Zhanyuan, but had never seen him.
He had committed a crime some time ago, and Yang Guo was right next to her when Aunt Guo decided to arrest him as an example. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhanyuan got into trouble himself and brought disaster to his family.
Because of his master and mistress, Yang Guo had no good feelings towards Lu Zhanyuan, but when he saw this little girl being so wronged, Yang Guo still wanted to help her, because some things would not harm family members.
She looks about the same age as Fu'er. Fu'er has everything taken care of by her elders, but she has to bear the grievances alone.
If Fu'er and Tianxue encountered the same situation as her, Yang Guo would be heartbroken.
"Old man, how about this, I'll buy all these vegetables from you and let you go back and rest early? What do you think?"
Yang Guo did what he thought. Helping the girl was one thing, but dealing with Lu Zhanyuan was another. He believed that even if his master's wife knew about it, she would not say anything.
"Young man, you want to help that girl, right? Are you attracted to her? You look so handsome, what kind of girl can't you find? But don't make the mistake. As I said just now, I won't sell you even if you throw her away."
What was Yang Guo thinking? The old man had lived for so many years and knew everything very well. If he didn't want to help, he wouldn't come to ask. If he wanted to buy his vegetables at this time, there must be no other reason except to help.
But the old man is also a principled man. He insisted on his own opinion and refused to sell it.
"Young man, there's no need to ask elsewhere. We've already reached an agreement. We're old, and the army doesn't want us. This is the only way we can support Hero Guo and Gang Leader Huang."
The old vendor became more and more excited as he spoke, attracting the surrounding vendors, including the girl with red eyes.
"What's wrong? Are you in cahoots with that Lu Zhanyuan?"
"I told you, we won't sell it. Leaving our post without permission is a big taboo, and even we peasants know it's punishable by death."
"This is ours, we won't sell it to you."
Yang Guo smiled bitterly. After all, these old men had done nothing wrong. The vegetables were theirs. They could sell them if they wanted to, and not sell them if they didn't want to. He couldn't force them.
"My dear elders, let's be frank. My master once taught me to forgive others when you can. Lu Zhanyuan has already received his punishment for his mistake: forty lashes with the military stick. He will be bedridden for at least ten days or half a month. Now that he's been punished, this matter is over. Besides, his wife and children are innocent. Don't you agree?"
Yang Guo just talked about the matter at hand. He didn't like Lu Zhanyuan in his heart, but the little girl's aggrieved look and her attempt to hold back tears made Yang Guo feel sympathetic.
Judging from the limited space, even the old vendor resisted Lu Zhanyuan so much, which shows what kind of situation Lu Zhanyuan is in in Xiangyang City.
Forget about Lu Zhanyuan himself, it was his own fault, how could he implicate his family?
Chapter 218 My Master Said...
"Who is your master? Is this what he taught you? Why would you spare such a person?"
An old man with a bad temper was so angry that he pointed at Yang Guo and questioned him.
Guo Jing often taught Yang Guo to respect the elderly and love the young, and not to bully others by taking advantage of one's power. So when faced with the questions from these old men, Yang Guo did not get angry. In the words of his master, these were all very lovely people.
Then he answered honestly: "My master is Yin Zhiping, and what I just said was really taught by my master."
In fact, Yang Guo just said half of what he said. Yin Zhiping's complete meaning was that it depends on the situation to show mercy to others. If they are mortal enemies, then they should be eradicated.
You need to judge all of this for yourself.
Just like now, Yang Guo felt that Lu Zhanyuan’s descendants were innocent, so he wanted to help.
However, Yang Guo did not expect that his words were so powerful. When the three words "Yin Zhiping" came out, everyone widened their eyes in disbelief.
"You...you...who did you say your master is?"
The bad-tempered old man could hardly speak clearly. In fact, the name Yin Zhiping had been like the patron saint of all the lower-class people in the past ten years.
Especially since Yin Zhiping had just made a move not long ago, showing his prowess and defeating the top Mongolian master with one sword move. There was no need for Huang Rong to actively publicize it, as this inspiring story had already spread throughout the entire Xiangyang City.
From commanding officers to ordinary people, everyone knows it.
These vendors had just been idle and bored, all expressing their admiration for Yin Zhiping. Now this young man claimed to be Yin Zhiping's apprentice, and the old man even had the audacity to question his master's teaching. Wasn't this an insult to Yin Zhiping? If word got out, he'd be criticized.
No one doubted Yang Guo's words. According to legend, Yin Zhiping's successor was a young man who had made many achievements on the battlefield. He was called the successor of the Sword Immortal and was destined to become the second Sword Immortal.
In the past, they all felt that such people were too far away from them, and it was a great honor to just hear of them, let alone meet them in person.
They never expected that such a person would stand in front of them so vividly. Now they carefully observed this polite young man and he seemed to be of the right age.
"You...you are Young Master Yang, the descendant of the Sword Immortal?"
The old man whom Yang Guo had questioned at the beginning suddenly stood up and asked in a trembling and stuttering voice, using honorifics.
Yang Guo felt a bit of a headache when he heard the title of "Sword Immortal's Successor". In comparison, the title of "Young Master Yang" was more to his liking.
His master's expectation for him was not to be the successor of a sword immortal, but to just be himself. Yang Guo was also moving forward with this goal in mind. Now it seems that there is still a long way to go to achieve this goal.
Lu Wushuang on the side held back the tears in her eyes, her surprise was beyond words. She didn't expect that the young man who spoke for her was actually Yin Zhiping's disciple.
But she couldn't understand why, considering the feud between her uncle and Yin Jianxian and his wife, he was willing to speak up for her when he knew her identity. Wasn't he afraid of being punished by his master?
For a moment, Lu Wushuang temporarily forgot the grievance and sadness he had just felt, and stared blankly at the smiling boy.
Lu Wushuang discovered that the young man seemed to be glowing.
"Old man, if you are talking about Yang Guo, then I am."
Yang Guo reached out to support the old man. Seeing that he could barely stand, Yang Guo was worried that he would fall down if the wind blew. He was already old and couldn't afford to fall.
"Well...well, just now...we offended Yin Jianxian. We didn't know your master was Yin Engong."
As he said this, the old vendor was about to kneel down.
Not only him, but all the other vendors knelt down at the same time.
Yang Guo was a little at a loss, this was the first time he encountered such a situation.
"Dear elders, there is no need to do this. This kid can't stand it."
Yang Guo grabbed the hands of the old man in front of him and squatted down himself. Those who stayed behind were the elderly. Firstly, they did not want to go far away, and secondly, they did not have the energy to escape. After leaving the city, they would most likely die on the way, so they simply did not leave.
With so many people kneeling to him, Yang Guo said that he couldn't bear it and it would shorten his life.
"Young Master Yang, you deserve it. You are a disciple of Lord Yin. We villagers have received Lord Yin's kindness, which is why we can make a living."
"Yes, let alone kneeling down, our family has even set up an altar for our benefactor and offers him daily sacrifices."
Yang Guo: Um, I wonder if Master would be happy or sad when he finds out that I have been honored with a memorial tablet at such a young age...
“But I’m not the master, I…”
