118: Learn to carry the road and babble, and there is nothing to be afraid of

In this eternal cold darkness, there are countless stars, galaxies, nebulae, as well as vast galaxy clusters and brilliant pumice showers. On top of these oases of the universe, countless miracles of life have been born, and countless legends have been created.

In a circle of hundreds of millions of small stars, there is one planet that stands out from the rest, and although it is mixed with other stars, it has been on a long and aimless journey through the universe with the ring, but it is not grayish-white like the other stars, but is wrapped in a colorful light. This is the masterpiece of intelligent life, and the colorful light represents the imperishable pride of life in this dead universe.

This star body is surrounded by mountains and lush forests, and it is very full of life. A snow-white unknown creature runs happily through the grass, which is its home and its paradise. Suddenly, its deft ears stood up, as if it had heard something in the wind, and then it searched for the sound, and went through the dense woods to a very secret place.

In a hidden valley, dozens of children are each wielding a wooden sword on the grass, their movements are uniform, neat and orderly, although the little faces are still childish, but the wooden sword in their hands makes a sharp whistling when dancing, revealing a fierce murderous aura.

A teenage boy who led the sword dance, his lips were tense, his eyes shone with determination, and his green cheeks were as sharp as an axe, so that anyone who saw him could immediately feel his determination.

His name is Neutrino, and he is the elder brother of these dozens of children, and they have been in this valley for some time under the leadership of a master named Anonymous. Anonymous often disappears without a trace, but as a senior brother, Neutrino dutifully urges his younger brothers and sisters to practice the "Great Wind Technique" every day.

"Gale Jue", also known as "Gale Sword Jue", is a kind of swordsmanship, it is said that a person who practices well can cut mountains and rivers with a sword, and shatter the sun, moon and stars. Although these children had never seen such a spectacular sight, they all longed for it, so they practiced their swords very hard.

The snow-white little animal was lying in the grass and blinking at these dancing children, and suddenly a cold gaze shot at it, and the frightened little animal immediately turned around and fled.

The corners of neutrino's mouth rose slightly, he retracted his gaze, and just wanted to lead his younger brothers and sisters to practice the next move "Wind and Clouds", but suddenly found that at the back of the team, there was a child who was still wielding the previous move "Wind Blowing Willow" with a wooden sword, and there were many mistakes in his movements.

"What are you doing, meson?" neutrino shouted at the child at the back.

"Senior brother, I, I'm practicing swords. The kid called Meon said resignedly.

"I just taught you how to perform 'Wind Blowing Willows' yesterday, and you can show me it again now. Neutrino snapped. He was not very old, but he was very dignified among the children.

Jie Zi trembled and waved the wooden sword in a semicircle, and then his own elbow twisted for some reason, and the wooden sword in his hand fell to the ground with a "snap".

"Smack, smack. Neutrino came to the front of Jie Zi in a flash, and the wooden sword in his hand slapped Jie Zi's arm twice, and Jie Zi, who was only eight years old, immediately burst into tears.

For the crying of meson, some of the children around him were unbearable, and some were expressionless, but neutrino shouted loudly:

"Keep practicing. ”

Under the leadership of neutrino, they quickly completed all the one hundred and eight moves from "the wind blows the willows", "the wind rises and clouds" and "the wind is stormy" until the last "wind and clouds disperse" and "the moon is white and the wind is clear", but the poor little meson is still stuck in the "wind and voice" of more than 20 moves.

"Stupid. The neutrino glanced at the meson, who was still clumsily dancing the sword, and then let the children rest for a while, while he himself came to the front of the meson, and forced the irritability in his heart to teach him to dance the complete "Great Wind Technique" again and again.

But for some reason, there seems to be an invisible obstacle between his hand and the wooden sword, and he can't coordinate it. It was not until it was getting late that neutrino finally lost his patience, and he grabbed the wooden sword of the meson, broke it in two, and walked into the cave where they were temporarily living without looking back.

"The master is back. Suddenly, a child shouted.

I saw a slender figure with flowing white hair appearing on the grass at some point, although he was called a master by these children, he didn't look very old, but the white hair was a little weird.

The anonymous master walked up to Jie Zi, looked at Jie Zi who was crying and red-eyed, and the broken wooden sword on the ground, but only smiled slightly and did not speak, and walked directly into the cave.

"Jiezi, don't cry, I'll help you make a new wooden sword tomorrow. "Some children who have befriended meson begin to comfort meson.

"What are you doing? Why don't you go to rest yet, do you want to practice your sword tomorrow?" neutrino shouted angrily as he walked out of the cave and looked at the children gathered in a few groups outside.

Suddenly, the dozens of children dispersed, and Jie Zi slowly walked back to the small cave where he lived. Suddenly, a figure stopped in front of him, it was the Anonymous Master.

"Tomorrow there will be no firewood for cooking, and neutrino said it's your turn, let's go chop firewood. Master Anonymous said.

"Hmm. Jie Zi lowered his head and said softly, and then he followed the Anonymous Master to a hillside covered with dead trees.

Master Anonymous watched Jie Zi hold a firewood knife almost as high as him and slash at those dead trees, the corners of his mouth showed a slight smile, and then he took out a small dagger and waved it out casually, no matter how big the tree was, the incision was smooth as a mirror, and the whole process was smooth and comfortable.

Secretly turned his head to glance at the anonymous master, and his stubborn little mouth was pursed together, and he slashed harder. However, his strength was too small, and he was very clumsy in wielding a firewood knife, so it was not until a hundred strokes later that a dead tree in front of him slowly fell to the ground with a "squeak" sound.

"Come and rest. Master Anonymous looked at Jie Zi's little face flushed, and he was wiping the sweat beads on his face with his arm, so he said to him.

"Neutrino hit you again?" Sitting by a large pile of firewood and grass, Master Anonymous saw a reddish patch on Muson's arm.

"Hmm. Can you stop him from beating me? I've been practicing my sword very hard, but I can't learn anything. As Jie Zi spoke, two tears rolled in his eyes.

"Okay, I'll tell him in a moment. Master Anonymous said, and then picked up a dead branch in front of him:

"You see, there are a lot of little branches on this dead branch, and each branch is connected to the branch in a different way, and there is a very magical vein connection between them, and then it forms the whole branch. ”

"Isn't every branch like this?" Jie Zi turned his head to stare at the branch in Anonymous's hand, not understanding what the master was saying.

"But no two branches are exactly the same, and if you look closely at them, you can find something interesting in so many branches. ”

Jie Zi took the branch from the hand of the anonymous master and observed it with interest. He was already young, and the unhappy things were quickly forgotten.

"You see, there is a branch that is bent, and it is very bent, unlike any other branch. Jie Zi suddenly shouted.

"That's right, it's crooked. If you look closely, how wonderful that curved angle is. When he was still green and had leaves, the breeze blew, and its branches and leaves must have fluttered beautifully, but now they were dry. ”

"yes, if only it didn't wither. ”

"Any tree will wither, and neither will anyone. Do you remember the 'wind blowing the willows' trick in 'The Wind Blows'? Your arms should be bent like this branch, but not too much, or the wind will break it. ”

Jie Zi then picked up the branch and played "Wind Blowing Willow", this dead branch passed under his armpit, and then Jie Zi's arm froze there, and the second half of "Wind Blowing Willow" could no longer be used.

"Your arm is a little stiff, but it's okay. 'Wind Blowing Willows' and the next move 'Wind Surge' are connected, and you can try to use the next move directly. Master Anonymous said with a smile.

Hearing this, Jie Zi stood up, and the dead branches circled around him for half a circle, and then picked up diagonally with a "swish". This trick is quite sharp, but it doesn't look very good when used with dead branches.

"Master, you really can. Am I going to be able to do this in the future?" exclaimed meon.

"Of course not, there is a coherence between the moves, and if it is broken like you just now, there will be flaws, and the moves will be useless. Master Anonymous said with a smile.

"Then I still can't learn the trick of the wind. Jie Zi sat back down beside Master Anonymous with a disappointed expression.

"Your arm has been turned very well just now, and you can almost use the 'Wind Blowing Willow' completely, have you ever wondered why?"

"Because I was thinking about the bent dead branch, and I thought I was going to bend like it, and then the wind blew, and the leaves on it jumped up. ”

"Yes, but Withered Twigs don't know how to wield swords. In fact, everything in this world has a thread behind it that connects them, a living tree, and every root and leaf of it is connected by veins. The same is true of the Great Wind Technique, its one hundred and eight styles are also related, and it is actually possible to cast it from the back forward. ”

"Can I really come upside down?" Jie Zi looked at Master Anonymous with a look of hope.

"Well, if you really like to come upside down, then come upside down. However, you must know that the Great Wind Technique is our mastery, and it has been tempered by countless people, so when you come backwards, you must also try to grasp its inner context and learn to understand the basis of this set of swordsmanship. Because if it was more powerful backwards, then we would have done it a long time ago, and it is impossible that so many of us are not as smart as you, right?"

"I'm stupid, they all say I'm stupid. Meson bowed his head.

"They talk nonsense, because you're younger than them, and they're jealous of you, that's why they say you're stupid. ”

"When I'm young, they're jealous of me, what's the reason?" Jie Zi looked at the anonymous master with a puzzled expression.

"Ahem, what's the matter, the Great Wind Technique is not just a set of swordsmanship, it is also linked to many other things. Master Anonymous was slightly embarrassed, and then quickly diverted the topic.

"I don't understand. Jie Zi shook his head and said.

"You can think of the one hundred and eight styles of the Great Wind Technique as one hundred and eight bricks, and while you learn them, you must also keep these one hundred and eight bricks in your heart, and let them become the one hundred and eight bricks in your heart. In this way, when you perform the Great Wind Trick in the future, you can take out these one hundred and eight bricks and build a house as you like, each brick is different and must be in a fixed position, as long as its location is very suitable for the house you build. ”

"Didn't you just say that you can't cast it backwards? You also said that the 'Great Wind Technique' has been tempered for thousands of years, and it is not as powerful as it used to be when it is reversed. Jie Zi was even more puzzled.

"Ahem, that's right. When you are young, of course, you have to follow the rules to learn the Great Wind Technique, but when you grow up and accumulate more things, then you can perform the Great Wind Technique as much as you want, and the house you build can be completely according to your own heart. ”

"I still don't get it. Jie Zi shook his head in annoyance.

"It's okay, it's actually a process of how things develop, you see. ”

"But how am I going to learn the 'Great Wind Trick' now? I don't want neutrinos to beat me and scold me anymore. That's what meson is most concerned about.

"Just like you just did, look closely at that dead branch, and then think hard, find patterns, and connect a lot of different things, so that you can learn to break the wind. ”

Hearing this, Jie Zi picked up a piece of dead branch and stood up again, and then he waved his arm slowly: the dead branch slid in front of his young body, passed under his ribs, turned in front of him at a strange angle, and then stabbed straight out.

"I succeeded. Jie Zi shouted excitedly.

Master Anonymous smiled and shook his head silently, he had never experienced such a stage. The first time he picked up the wooden sword, the Great Wind Trick naturally flowed out of his hand. So many people say that he is a "genius", but his "genius" is now very understanding of those who are not so "geniuses".

"I've learned the gale trick, can I defeat neutrinos?"

"Well, I'd love to tell you that you can, but it's actually hard. Because neutrino is very talented in this area, and he also loves swordsmanship, it will be difficult for you to defeat him. ”

Hearing this, Jie Zi lowered his head in frustration: if he learned the Great Wind Technique, the most important thing he wanted to do would be to defeat the neutrino.

"Neutrino has always been there for you, and he wants you to learn the Wind Trick. But he was too young to know much about himself and others. Master Anonymous said with a smile, and then he gently stroked Jie Zi's lowered head:

"Actually, a person learning something can probably be divided into two purposes. From a small aspect, it is to understand the unknown, expand knowledge and thinking, and grasp the logic behind things, and from a large aspect, it is to know right from wrong, understand the general righteousness, and be able to stick to some very difficult choices. There's a lot of complexity involved, and you don't understand it now, but you're going to grow up one day. ”

"What if you can't learn?"

"You can't learn in general, and you can also divide it into two reasons, one is because you ignore something. These things, either you know but don't see them, or you don't know them at all, so you have to find a way to find them. The other reason is that you don't want to learn, you don't want to learn, and if that's the case, that's okay, you can learn something else. So even if you can't defeat neutrinos with the Wind Trick, you don't need to be too sad. I mean, you just have to be a little sad, you have a lot more ways to express yourself. ”

"I just want to learn the trick of the wind. Jie Zi pouted and whispered.

"Yes, as long as you remember what I just said: observe carefully, work hard to discover, make more associations, think at any time, and summarize in time, you will definitely be able to learn the trick of the great wind. ”

Jie Zi shook his head, he didn't really understand what Master Anonymous was talking about, but Master Anonymous continued to talk to himself

"It's not just like that, it's like learning other things. You have to keep them in your mind as bricks, and then when you need them one day, you can use them to build a beautiful house. If you can show this beautiful house in front of other people's eyes and get their approval, that's really fun. ”

Jie Zi didn't seem to understand the words of the anonymous master, so he took out a small round ball, pressed it with his fingers, and immediately popped out of the small round ball a sword-dancing villain, and this villain was dancing the Great Wind Trick.

"I don't understand. I can use this orb to see the moves of the Great Wind Technique at any time, so why do I have to memorize such complicated things? I memorize so many books like this, and I forget it after memorizing it, how can I remember this orb clearly?" Jie Zi said with a sad face.

"So sometimes it's not the most important thing to remember what is fixed, the most important thing is to turn them into bricks in your heart. But in order to turn them into bricks in your heart, you have to remember them with your own brain, with your heart, and even many times, many times. ”

"I'll keep them in my heart, but why should I remember them as a brick?"

"Because at a critical time, bricks can not only protect themselves, but also be used to shoot people. Hearing the words of the anonymous master, Jie Zi was stunned: he could not understand what such a brick and such a person meant.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't understand what I'm saying now, when you're ten years old, I'll tell you again, when you're twenty, I'll tell you again, and when you're thirty, I'll tell you the same. ”

"And what about me at forty?"

"At forty you're grown up and don't need anyone to tell you anything. ”

"Oh. Jie Zi nodded as if he didn't understand, and then he suddenly remembered something and asked:

"What do the four words on that big wooden row mean?"

"It's not called a big wooden row, it's called a plaque, it's equivalent to the eyes of a house. The four words on it are 'Qipu Wutang', and we came from this place called Qipu Wutang. ”

"What does Qipu Wutang mean?"

"It's a story from a long time ago, do you want to hear it now? Or do you want to chop wood? It's getting late, and if we don't get it, we won't have anything to eat tomorrow." ”

"Then let's chop wood. Jie Zi hesitated for a moment, then pouted.

Master Anonymous smiled slightly, and then the dagger in his hand flew out, and dozens of dead trees fell to the ground in an instant. Then he put his arm around Jie Zi's young shoulders, looked at the falling sunset, and said leisurely:

"Once upon a time, on a continent, there was a group of people ......"
