Chapter 2 Learning

Ancient Liquor began to live on the mountain with the immortal stars.

The imaginary sword teaching did not appear. Immortal Star just taught Gu Yijiu how to hold a sword, and never mentioned anything related to the sword again.

"You first get half a bucket of water, then half a bucket of manure, stir both, and pour it on the flower field behind the house. Be careful. If the manure water dips on the leaves, it will not produce enough beautiful flowers."

The immortal star is carving a wooden board because this is her job. She is not a knight who goes all day long to save people from water and fire, but an ordinary floppy printmaker.

That's right, it's a failure.

The prints of Immortal Stars are not popular, and hard work all day long is just a meager income. It’s okay for one person to have a mouth full of Gu Yijiu, but now it seems that he is not enough to make ends meet.

She hasn't bought wine for a long time.

Gu Yijiu really wanted to help, but the nine-year-old child's body was too thin.

So he seemed a little anxious.

"You don't have to hurry, and you can't come." Immortal Xingchen regarded this impatientness as his yearning for swordsmanship and said without raising his head: "I only have four swordsmanship. You are still young and have enough time to learn."

Gu Yijiu asked curiously: "Why are there only four tricks?"

"Because there are only four people in my vein, and each person leaves one move, it becomes a sect." Immortal Xingchen raised his head and looked at Gu Yijiu and said, "You are the fifth person. If you think you are too little, you will add the fifth move."

Gu Yijiu scratched her face and said, "I don't think there are too few things, it's just a sword move. The more you get, the better?"

But Immortal Star asked, "Four moves are enough to defeat all the heroes in the world, why do you need more?"

The ancient wine was speechless.

If this was said by a gray-haired old man, he would definitely believe it. But this sentence came from the mouth of a floppy printmaker, which made people feel a little suspicious.

"How many leaves can you cut down with one sword?" Gu Yijiu asked, "Four pieces? Five pieces? Or more?"

Immortal Star Chen thought about it seriously, shook his head and said, "Not even a single piece."

"Ah?" Gu Yijiu was shocked, picked up a branch and waved it. Two leaves on the ground were divided into two. "Even I can cut down two leaves with one sword, how could you not even have one?"

Immortal Star looked up and looked down again. While carving wooden boards, she said lightly: "Because my sword technique only kills people, not leaves."

Gu Yijiu suddenly realized that he would not be able to catch up with his master's character even if he was playing with him.

"Remember, swords are weapons, swordsmanship is a killing trick. When you don't want to kill, don't make a sword easily." Immortal Star packed the carved prints on her body, and stretched out her hand to Gu Yijiu: "Let's go, go down the mountain with me. Today is the delivery day agreed with Mr. Qiannan. If you get the money, you will pull up some fabric to make a winter clothes for you."

The topic suddenly changed from swordsmanship to family matters, but it was not abrupt at all, and it was even a little warm. Gu Yijiu understood that her master was not as cold as it appeared, and she probably just didn't know how to express it.

"Actually, I'm not too cold. It's okay to not make winter clothes. Why not exchange the money for some wine? I remember you haven't drunk for a long time."

Immortal Star Chen didn't even look at Gu Yijiu. He pulled him forward and said, "No need to say more, I think you are cold, you are cold."

Ancient charity wine: “…”

He was suddenly very glad that there were no autumn pants in this world.

As he thought about it, he couldn't help laughing.

Immortal Star looked at him strangely: "Why do you laugh?"

"Because I remembered something happy."

"Are you happy?" Immortal Star nodded: "Remember it and don't forget."

"Well, I will."

The two of them held hands and walked down the mountain along the path.

...

...

Mr. Qiannan is a businessman who bought prints and is very fat.

It is said that he also has shops in Edo Castle and is one of the most wealthy people.

Immortal Star handed over the prints, but did not get enough wages.

The fat businessman temporarily changed the agreement on the grounds that sales were not smooth and agreed to pay half of the payment.

Gu Yijiu stepped forward to argue, but was pushed away by the fat businessman's bodyguard. Immortal Star went up to help, and the corner of the cloak was lifted, revealing the long sword she was tied to her waist.

"So you are a warrior!" The fat businessman was very surprised.

Immortal Star tidied up his cloak and said calmly: "I am not a warrior."

"It's useless if you don't admit it, I've seen it all." The fat businessman came over and whispered: "The general has issued the law of 'The world is not martial', but you still dare to hang a long sword on your waist. You are really ungrateful. Seeing that you and I have known each other for many years, I have been so kind to keep it a secret for you, but the price of prints in the future will remain the same as today?"

This fat man actually took advantage of the situation to rob. Gu Yijiu was about to object, but was stopped by Immortal Star.

She had no joy or sorrow on her face, and just nodded slightly: "Just as you said."

The fat businessman smiled happily: "Okay, okay! I will repay you too. The number of prints I will acquire next month will double. Don't let me down."

"Yes, thank you for your care."

Afterwards, they bought fabrics and used the remaining little money to buy some salt, and the master and apprentice embarked on the way home.

"Sorry, I originally planned to buy you some snacks, and I will probably wait next month." Immortal Star broke the silence.

"It's okay, it's okay if you don't buy those things, I'm not greedy." Gu Yijiu thought about it, but still couldn't help asking: "With your ability, it's more than enough to deal with those bodyguards. Why didn't you take action just now and be willing to be bullied by them?"

"Because I don't want to kill people." Immortal Xingchen replied: "Although Mr. Qiannan is greedy, he is the only businessman willing to come to this village. If he kills him, the lives of the villagers will become difficult."

Gu Yijiu pulled the corner of her mouth: "I didn't say I asked you to kill him, I just asked you to teach him a lesson, a small punishment and a big warning."

Immortal Star thought for a while and seemed to understand what the so-called "learning" meant. She shook her head and said, "It's still not possible. I won't be able to kill people. The four-style sword moves of my school are also created by killing people."

"Is it okay to just swing a few times?"

Immortal Xingchen glared at Gu Yijiu and said angrily: "Nothing! If your heart is not sincere, how can you let the sword treat it with sincerity? Don't say such a false statement in the future!"

Gu Yijiu stuck out his tongue, and this was the first time he saw his cheap master angry.

After a while of silence, the Immortal Star said as if explaining: "I have sent swordsmanship to advocate killing and chasing, which can easily disrupt people's minds. I have never taught you swordsmanship, but instead ordered you to do some farm work and housework, just to let you settle down your own heart and not be moved by external things. It is important to know that swordsmanship is easy to achieve, but the swordsmanship is difficult to forge. If the foundation is unstable, it will never be restored in the future. But if you really don't like it, it's better for you to learn my swordsmanship. I also know some famous masters, all of which are far better than me. With your talent, you will definitely do something."

"No need, I'll learn." Gu Yijiu rejected the kindness of Immortal Xingchen, smiled and said, "I won't leave until you don't want me."

Immortal Star was silent for a while, nodded and said, "This is hard for you."

"It's okay." Gu Yijiu said with a smile: "Just don't let me wait too long."

The immortal star suddenly stood still and looked at the valley below.

Gu Yijiu looked at him and saw a businessman surrounded by a group of strong men. It was Mr. Qiannan.

"This is really a bad person who has his own evil people." Gu Yijiu asked, "Do you want to save him?"

Immortal Star did not hesitate, but just said lightly: "Let's go, I will teach you the first sword move."
