Volume 1 Chapter 37 Qingfeng and the Barrel
After a night's recuperation, Gu Qiu was already able to walk on his own, and today Jun Yuan got up much earlier than yesterday, after all, he had to make breakfast.
After the master and apprentice had eaten, Gu Qiu sat on a bamboo chair and gave Jun Yuanyi a lecture on the basic cultivation path.
"What do you think is your strength among the disciples of this Imperial Sword Sect, and of course the disciples of the outer sect?" Gu Qiu asked calmly as he looked at Jun Yuanxie.
Jun Yuanyi thought for a while and responded: "It should be the existence of the bottom!"
Gu Qiu shook his hand and said: "No, no, no, the word "should" should be removed, and you are now the existence at the bottom, there is no doubt about it." ”
Jun Yuanxie: "...... I know I have to ask, isn't it hurting me!"
Gu Qiu was too lazy to ignore Jun Yuan's evil, and continued: "A person's strength is the combination of "law" and "technique", and mental law and martial arts are the medium. To make a simple analogy, Xuan Qi is the food we eat, the mental method is how we send this food into our body, the realm is how much food can be contained in our body, and martial arts is how we use our body to consume the food that enters the body. And if the mind method and martial arts are related, it is complementary to each other. If it is irrelevant, it is that the cultivation methods are different, you only need to understand the mental method to naturally achieve the great achievement, and the comprehension of martial arts, you not only need to understand the text thoroughly, but also combine it with your own experience. ”
"Then what does Master mean that cultivation is for fighting?" Jun Yuanxie said thoughtfully.
Gu Qiu stared at Jun Yuanxie: "Have you ever killed someone?"
Jun Yuanxie shook his head: "No!"
Gu Qiu asked, "Then will you kill people in the future?"
...... Jun Yuanxie was silent, this outside world is not the same as the isolated place in Peach Blossom Town, there is no selfishness, no stealing, no laziness, no desire, no evil in Peach Blossom Town. But outside, Jun Yuanxie's experience during this period of time had already scared him, especially the things in Falling Water City.
"What kind of person do you want you to be in the future!" Jun Yuanxie asked himself in his mind, but no one gave him an answer.
"There are only two kinds of swords in the world, one is the sword of guardianship that separates you from the enemy, which is the left hand sword, and the other is the sword of killing that separates you from the enemy, which is the right hand sword. ”
Gu Qiu continued: "This is also the reason why I want you to use the left-handed sword all the time, but it is obviously impossible, now I just want you to use the right-handed sword as little as possible!"
"Tell me all your doubts, so as not to disturb your mind. ”
"There's nothing wrong with the apprentices. Jun Yuanxie felt that even if he said the problem in his heart, he might not be able to solve it, and he could only increase his troubles, so he suppressed it.
Gu Qiu suddenly asked, "Do you have your own sword?"
"No!" Jun Yuan said directly without thinking about it, after all, some secrets are secrets that only he knows.
"You go to my room, there is a secret compartment under my bed, there is a sword box in it, you can help me take it out!"
Jun Yuanxie entered Gu Qiu's room, this hut was obviously not the same as the other four huts, and the layout in the room was extremely simple. Sure enough, Jun Yuanye found the dark grid under the bedside of Gu Qiu, and then took the sword box out.
Gu Qiu carefully took out the sword from the sword box, like an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time. The scabbard has clear lines, engraved with many patterns, and is about three feet long, it seems that this sword is a weapon that has accompanied Gu Qiu throughout his life.
"I've used this sword all my life, from when I was young and found materials to build it, to when I put it in this sword box a few years ago. In hundreds of years, it has been broken fifty-seven times, and even if there is a better sword, I am reluctant to treat it as scrap metal, so every forging is a rebirth for it, and now it should also be a ground-level weapon!"
Gu Qiu slowly pulled out the sword, I don't know if Gu Qiu's hand was trembling or the sword itself was trembling, it was a distant and familiar memory, and then Gu Qiu put it into the scabbard.
"Its name is Qingfeng!From now on, it will be your sword!" Gu Qiu said as he looked at Jun Yuanxie.
Jun Yuanxie hurriedly knelt down and took it with both hands, Jun Yuanxie felt that what he had received was not only a weapon, but also responsibility and hope.
"Qingfeng is your first cultivation partner, and then, do you see that wooden bucket?" Gu Qiu pointed to the bucket that was nearly two feet tall not far away.
"Well, I see. Jun Yuanye replied with doubts.
"From today onwards, it will be your second cultivation partner!"
"?!" Jun Yuanxie was confused.
Gu Qiu pointed to a water tank on the other side of the kitchen: "What you have to do this month is to fill that water tank every day!"
"That's all, don't practice swordsmanship?" Jun Yuanxie asked a little incredulously.
Gu Qiu said: "The place to draw water is not here, but where to catch water in the first valley along this stream, and then hold your hands at shoulder level, grab the bucket in your right hand, and hold the sword in your left hand. ”
Jun Yuanxie: "Uh......"
"Actually, if you want to be lazy, it's okay, anyway, I don't have the ability to stare at you step by step. Guqiu added.
"Then ...... today"
"From now on, by the way, remember to pour the water in the tank before fetching water every day. ”
After Jun Yuanye hurriedly poured out the water in the water tank, he immediately picked up the bucket and picked up the Qingfeng Sword and ran down the mountain. He knew the valley, and the distance was at least more than ten miles, and looking at the bulky wooden barrel, Jun Yuanxie was really speechless, the bucket looked very large outside, but the water that could hold it was probably not even half of what was expected. Moreover, the wood used to make the barrel is made of submerged wood, so you can imagine the weight of this barrel.
In less than half an hour, Jun Yuanxijiu came to the place where he had come that day, and the fish bones he ate were still on the ground.
Jun Yuanye immediately filled the barrel with water, then picked up the Qingfeng Sword in his left hand and held the barrel in his right hand. The Qingfeng Sword in his left hand was easily raised, but Jun Yuanxie couldn't lift the barrel full of water to shoulder level.
"How can this be done!" Jun Yuanye sat helplessly on the ground: "Am I not even able to do this?"
"I can't even do this, I'm still cultivating a ghost!"
"Hmm, cultivation, how can I always forget that I am already a monk!" Jun Yuanxie felt that he was about to be stupidly killed, and he only remembered that he was still a monk when he couldn't do it.
Jun Yuanxie came to the barrel again, picked up the Qingfeng Sword, and used the Heavenly Heart Technique to mobilize Xuan Qi. Finally, the "indifferent" wooden barrel accepted Jun Yuanxie's "invitation" and was about to rush back quickly. But this bulky wooden barrel couldn't withstand the bumps of Jun Yuanxie, and the already small amount of water in it was less than half a bucket. There is no way, Jun Yuanye only has to fill the water again, this time Jun Yuanye does not dare to run fast anymore, but walks steadily step by step, but it is still not good if it is slow, at his speed, it is good to play a bucket of water every day, but what is needed is a water tank!
Jun Yuanxie always pays attention to the water in the bucket, basically one step into two steps, after all, if you sprinkle too much, you have to start all over again. After a long time, the Xuan Qi in Jun Yuan's evil body could not withstand consumption at all, and his right hand became heavier and heavier.
The sun had already set over the mountain, but Jun Yuanxie's first trip to the water had not yet been brought back.
Gu Qiu looked at the way down the mountain and couldn't help but question: "Am I too strict!"
Gu Qiu just wanted to turn around, but there was movement at the gate of the courtyard, so he scolded: "You stinky ......?"
The person who came in at the gate of the courtyard was not Jun Yuanxie, but the peak master of Liuyun Peak, Jiuyu. Seeing Gu Qiu, Jiuyu immediately saluted respectfully and said, "Apprentice to meet Master!"
"Yu'er, why did you remember to come to see me, an old man. Gu Qiu saw that it was his second apprentice Jiuyu, but he had mixed feelings in his heart.
