C2529 He Had Dreamt of Using His Sword to Travel to the Ends of the World
I dreamed of using my sword to travel the world.
After Chiang Feng's words, the people of Azure Rock Town only came out to sigh and return to their original lives, doing what they were supposed to do.
To them, the world of immortals was a very distant place. It had nothing to do with them. As long as the fight between the deities didn't involve them, they would be grateful.
During the day, Ning Qi opened a shop to sell swords, occasionally forged swords, and occasionally practiced sword skills. He only practiced one of the skills in the first painting of Emotion Extinguishing Sword Technique.
Slash!
It was a simple move, and Ning Qi was tirelessly practicing it. Every time he practiced it, he would practice until his hand became numb and he could not raise his hand.
A few months passed very quickly. Ning Qi's reputation as a sword shop... It seemed to have spread in a few nearby giant cities. Every day, Vigilante A would come to buy swords. Some of them threw away twenty taels of silver and left, while others threw away fifty taels of silver. Some left behind a few hundred taels of silver, and some families sent out elders. They wanted Ning Qi to become a consecrate in their family and forge swords. However, they were all rejected by Ning Qi.
Ning Qi could not spend all the money by himself. As long as he passed by one or two child beggars on the way, they would come to the shop to beg for food. Ning Qi would casually throw some broken silver to them. As time passed, everyone in Azure Rock Town knew that there was a swordsman named Ning Qi who was very generous. A Bodhisattva's heart.
"Hey, Little Qi, haven't you noticed that there are a lot of beggars on our street recently?"
Chen Asan walked into the shop with a few pancakes and said to Ning Qi.
"Really?"
Ning Qi smiled and ate the pancakes.
"You, don't give money to those beggars in the future. Now, even the beggars in the neighboring town know that there is a sword seller with the heart of a Bodhisattva in Azure Rock Town. He keeps wandering around in front of your shop all day long."
Chen Asan said with a bitter smile.
Ning Qi smiled and did not respond. This was not the first time Chen Asan had tried to persuade Ning Qi. However, seeing that Ning Qi did not respond, he did not continue to talk about this topic. Instead, he took a sword from Ning Qi's shop and carefully looked at it. Occasionally, a trace of envy flashed across his eyes.
"Mr. Chen, if you want it, I'll give it to you."
Ning Qi said with a smile.
"No, no, no. Why would I take it?"
Chen Asan shook his head, but his eyes suddenly revealed a trace of reminiscence. "This silk store of mine has been operating here for more than 300 years. Our ancestors have been managing it for generations. Little Qi, you know when I was young... Do you have any dreams?"
"What dreams?"
Ning Qi smiled.
"My dream is that one day, I will be able to join the immortal sect. From now on, I will walk the world with my sword. When I encounter injustice, I will draw my sword to help!"
Chen Asan said. When he said this, Ning Qi saw a trace of holiness on his face. It was imaginable how heavy this dream was in his heart.
Ning Qi didn't say anything. He just waited quietly.
Sure enough, Asan continued, "At that time, I kept on becoming a disciple and learning martial arts. I just wanted to learn some martial arts. Even if I could not become an immortal, I could still be a hero of my generation. However, my father didn't agree. He only had me as his son. He wants me to come back and take over the shop passed down by my ancestors. For this matter, I had a big fight with my father and then left. "
Unknowingly, Chen Asan had tears streaming down his face. Tears fell from his chin onto the ground. He didn't know it and continued, "After five years, I didn't achieve anything. When I returned to Azure Rock Town... My father was seriously ill and was on the verge of death. He was on the verge of death. Tell me, he was worried that I would die outside. If I worry for too long, I will become sick. He told me to take over the shop properly in the future. Don't prosper, as long as you guard the three acres of land in Azure Rock Town, it'll be fine... "
"Not long after my father left, my mother also left. The shop was originally not doing very well because of his old man's serious illness. After I took over the business, it took me more than five years to slowly start the business again. In the end, I married and had children. Until now. "
After saying that, Chen Asan realized that he was crying. He wiped his face in embarrassment and smiled at Ning Qi. "I'm sorry for making Little Qi laugh. The first day I saw your sword, I felt a lot of emotions."
"Daddy, why are you crying?"
Chen Huan had unknowingly run into the store with his short legs. When he saw Chen Asan wiping his tears, he asked with a puzzled expression.
"It's nothing. Daddy just had sand in his eyes. What are you doing here?"
Chen Asan carried Chen Huan and said with a smile. When he saw Chen Huan, the sadness in Chen Asan's eyes was completely swept away. There was only love in his eyes.
"I want to see these swords. Can I touch them?"
Chen Huan pointed at the swords in the shop and said.
As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Ning Qi.
"Mr. Chen, just let him touch it. Recently, he has been acting like a ghost in front of us."
Ning Qi said with a smile.
"Alright, just touch it."
Chen Asan hesitated for a moment and carried Chen Huan to the front of a sword. Chen Huan was very happy, but he carefully reached out his hand to touch the sword and immediately pulled it back with a satisfied face.
"Dad, I have finished touching it. When I grow up, I will be like those uncles and have a sword that belongs to me!"
Chen Huan said.
Chen Asan was stunned for a moment, then he subconsciously said, "You want to be a swordsman?"
"What is a swordsman?"
Chen Huan was shocked.
"You are still too young. Daddy will tell you in the future."
Chen Asan said with a complicated expression.
In the following days, Chen Huan would come to Ning Qi's place to play from time to time. Occasionally, he would come with Chen Asan, and occasionally, he would come alone. Seven or eight years had unknowingly passed. In these seven or eight years, Chen Huan had become half a big kid. Other than reading and reading with his teacher, he also read and read. His favorite thing to do was to watch Ning Qi forge a sword.
Chen Huan was the only one who had gotten Ning Qi's permission to watch Ning Qi forge a sword. This news had made the other children of Azure Rock Town envious. In their short lives, they often heard the adults in their families admire the sword seller. The income from selling swords for a day was sometimes equal to their annual income for half a year. Because of this, they treated the sword shop as an extremely rare place. Chen Huan, who could watch Ning Qi forge swords, and become one of their little bosses.
On this day, Chen Huan came to the sword shop as usual. He found that Ning Qi was not there, nor was he forging the sword. Behind the sword shop was the courtyard where Ning Qi lived. Chen Huan thought for a while and found that he had never been to that courtyard before. Curiosity made Chen Huan make a decision.
"Uncle Qi, are you inside?"
Chen Huan called out softly at the door. After waiting for a few breaths, he pushed open the door and entered. He found Ning Qi practicing his sword in the yard.
"Huh? Uncle Qi is also practicing his sword? Could it be that he is also a swordsman?"
Chen Huan had a surprised look on his face.
However, after watching for a long time, he realized that Ning Qi only knew one move. In his heart, he felt that Ning Qi might not be a swordsman. The Azure Rock Town was not very peaceful. Occasionally, there would be people chasing after them, so Chen Huan saw the sword skills of those swordsmen. They were all extremely gorgeous, completely different from Ning Qi's!
After the time it took to make a cup of tea, Ning Qi put away his sword with sweat all over his face. This made Chen Huan even more certain that Ning Qi was not a swordsman. Those swordsmen came and went, but stabbed a few times. How could they be so tired?
"Little Huan, what are you looking for me for?"
Ning Qi wiped his sweat and said with a smile.
"A guest has come from my family. Daddy asked me to call Uncle Qi over for dinner today."
Chen Huan said with a smile.
"Oh? Then let's go, I'm hungry."
Ning Qi laughed.1
"Uncle Qi is definitely not a swordsman, but Uncle Qi secretly practiced his sword. He should be like me, envious of those swordsmen, right?"
Seeing this, Chen Huan was even more certain of his guess.
