When he got home, Li Le first returned to his yard and let Qingmei wait to wash up. Then I went to find Li Bebei. Be prepared to tell him everything that happened today and see what you need to pay attention to in the future. Don't capsize in the gutter and cry with no place to cry.

When he entered the door, Li Le found that Li Bebei's expression was much worse than in the morning, and he sat on a rattan chair reading a book. On the desk in the east window is a piece of rice paper with the words "heaven and earth" written on it. Li Le didn't pay much attention to it, walked straight to Li Bebei, picked up the teapot from the table, poured him a cup, and sat down. Then he said: "Big brother's complexion, it doesn't look very good, do you want to ask Mr. Long Er to come over and have a look?"

Li Beibei smiled and shook his head, and said, "It's not a big deal, it's an old problem, don't worry too much, it's good to breathe for a while in the evening, don't worry, little brother." ”

"That's good. Li Le was also relieved when he heard him say this. Then he said: "Something happened in the palace today, I want to hear the opinion of the eldest brother." ”

Li Beibei said: "Is it because you beat the king of Fu'an?"

Li Leqi said: "How does the eldest brother know?"

Li Beibei said: "What Zhao Xi said, after he came back, everyone in the house knew about it. ”

Li Le complained: "The tongue is so long, it seems that I will have to put a lock on his mouth in the future." ”

Li Beibei laughed sadly and said, "I don't know the specific brother yet, you tell me." ”

Only then did Li Le explain the origin, process, and result of the whole thing. Even when he was about to leave the palace, what Zhang Bao said to him was also said to Li Beibei word for word.

Li Bebei took the book in his hand, tapped lightly on the table, and waited for Li Le to finish before he said, "It's not a big deal, little brother doesn't have to take it to heart." The emperor never liked his frantic and irritable son, and I heard that no one in the palace liked him except his mother. Besides, the last time your second brother blocked the door, he had already scared him, and he didn't dare to do anything if he thought about it. As for Zhang Bao, not to mention that you are just acting more mature, and you don't have any thoughts that are unfavorable to the prince. Even if there is, if he wants to fight hard, he can't fight in front of you. ”

"Big brother is domineering!" Li Le smiled and exclaimed.

Li Bebei said again: "If you are idle for a few months, the younger brother must practice diligently." Erlang and I can guard you for a while, but we can't guard you for a lifetime, and you have to walk more roads by yourself in the future. ”

Li Le said: "I understand, big brother rest assured." ”

Li Bebei nodded, and then said, "After dinner, you go to your second brother, he has something to teach you." ”

The two brothers finished talking, and Li Le told Li Bebei to rest well and then leave.

……

After dinner, it will be dark. Li Le took the two Qingmei sisters, ate and walked towards Li Xunhuan's yard. walked to the front of the courtyard, but saw that Li Xunhuan had just come back from another direction.

Li Le waited for him to approach, and asked with a smile, "Second brother just came back from outside?"

Li Xunhuan also smiled and said, "Go out and get something for you and come back." ”

As he spoke, he took out three knives from his arms, throwing knives. The knife was short, three inches long, very thin, like a willow leaf. As he spoke, he handed the flying knife to Li Le.

Li Le's eyes lit up, took the flying knife, and asked with a little excitement, "Second brother plans to teach me flying knives?"

Li Xunhuan nodded, pushed open the courtyard door, and let Li Le in. Li Le played with the flying knife, and together with Li Xunhuan, he took Qingmei Qing'e into the door.

When they arrived at the house, after Qingmei Qing'e poured tea for them, she retreated to the door, ready to serve at any time.

Li Xunhuan took out a small jar of wine from the cabinet, poured himself a glass, twisted the cup and sat down opposite Li Le.

Without too much foreshadowing, he preached straight to the point: "The first step in practicing flying knives is to first practice the dexterity of the fingers of both hands. Li Xunhuan spoke, drank the glass of wine in his hand, put down the wine glass, picked up a flying knife again, and said to Li Le with a smile: "It's like this." ”

Then Li Le saw a scene that surprised him incomparably. The small flying knife rotated back and forth between Li Xunhuan's five fingers, and every time the flying knife fell from one finger to another, the knuckles would flick gently on the knife body very rhythmically, and the flying knife would be like dancing between the fingers, turning to the adjacent knuckles.

This is a bit like when Li Le was bored in his previous life, he often played with the pen with his hands, but it was much faster than that, and it also had the sound of knuckle playing. The bright white flying knife was in Li Xunhuan's hand, and he couldn't see the original appearance at all. It was as if a string of white light scurried back and forth between his fingers, making a very slight tinkling sound from time to time, and his knuckles struck the blade. Immediately after, the flying knife turned on his thumb, and with a flick of his fingers, a white light like a spirit appeared in the other hand. It didn't look jerky because of the change of hand, and it was as white and bright as before.

"Wow!" Li Le's eyes had already begun to glow.

"When practicing, you should cooperate with a set of true qi practice methods, and later teach the younger brother for the brotherhood. As he spoke, Li Xunhuan had already stopped his hand, and then said: "These flying knives haven't been opened yet, little brother can try them." This is a hard work, and the younger brother practices slowly. The main purpose of practicing this is, on the one hand, to enhance the dexterity of the fingers, which can always be of unexpected use against the enemy. On the other hand, with the way the True Qi operates, you can better perceive the fit between yourself and the flying knife. You can experience this little brother for yourself when you practice. ”

Li Le listened to Li Xunhuan say, and he also picked up the flying knife and began to rotate. In my previous life, I was in school, and when I was bored, I would turn my pen or something, and later when I went out of society, I would also turn it in my hand with a lighter or something. So, this first step seems to be relatively easy for him.

At first, it was jerky, mainly because now this body has not been trained in this area, and the sensitivity of the hands is not very high. But after two or three or so on, a familiar feeling gradually emerged. The flying knife turned more and more smoothly in Li Le's hand. Although it is not as amazing as Li Xunhuan, it is also very ornamental.

Li Xunhuan looked at the flying knife that was turning between Li Le's fingers, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Little brother looks very talented. ”

Li Le smiled indifferently and was very proud.

Li Xunhuan then said: "The second step in practicing flying knives is stability. Steady hands, more stable hearts. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand holding the throwing knife, and then there was no more movement. looked at Li Le with a smile. Li Le didn't pay much attention at first, and waited for Li Xunhuan's next move. But after waiting for a long time, Li Xunhuan didn't seem to make any moves. Li Le began to look at it carefully, and then he found something even more wonderful......

Li Xunhuan's hand holding the flying knife was very steady, very steady. It's not as steady as a rock, nor is it as steady as a mountain. Rather, rather...... It was as if the area between the palm and the knife was completely forbidden, or a duel forbidden. It's as if time has completely stopped in that small piece of space.

Li Xunhuan smiled and said, "Little brother, do you understand?"

Li Le frowned, nodded, and shook his head again. He nodded, because he felt as if he understood. Shaking his head, but because he really didn't understand. Or rather, he didn't understand how it was done.

Li Xunhuan said again: "How does the little brother feel?"

Li Le thought about it, pondered for a while, and then said, "Steady, very stable." ”

Li Xunhuan withdrew his palm and said with a smile: "Yes, that's how it feels." It can only be described as 'stable', which is a direct feeling, but it is not easy to achieve this step. ”

"Oh?" Li Le asked, "What's so difficult?"

Li Xunhuan said: "The word 'stability' is divided into two layers, the heart is stable and the hand is stable. To achieve a stable hand, it is not too difficult, but some water grinding and hard work, many people can do it, such as calligraphy and painting, or first-class swordsmen, can do it. As long as you practice a lot, calligraphy, painting copying, or drawing a knife thousands of times a day. After practicing for a long time, your hands will naturally be stable, but there is a reason why I recommend that you use carving when you practice, because flying knives and carving knives are both small knives and are easy to master with each other. Of course, it's best to use throwing knives when you practice. ”

Li Le nodded, indicating that he understood.

Li Xunhuan then said: "However, it is not easy to achieve a stable heart. ”

As he spoke, Li Xunhuan poured himself another glass of wine, drank it all, and then continued: "The 'stability' in my heart is a feeling, and when I practice, when I feel it, I will be 'stable'." Some people, after practicing all their lives, are still unstable. And some people, maybe in a day or two, can feel 'stable'. This can be said to be a talent, or it can be said to be a comprehension ability. ”

After Li Xunhuan finished saying this, he heard Li Le's head full of black lines, and he said in his heart, what an idealistic theory! Whether it is "stable" or "unstable", it sounds like a tongue twister. However, Li Le could still understand it, so he said: "Is this feeling just a feeling that can only be understood and cannot be expressed? It's like sometimes when doing something, there is a very strong feeling in my heart that I will definitely succeed or will definitely fail?"

This kind of feeling is shared by ordinary people, and Li Le has felt it many times in his previous life. It's like playing basketball, when the ball leaves the palm of your hand and flies to the basket, you often have a very certain feeling of success or failure.

Seeing Li Le ask, Li Xunhuan shook his head with a smile: "No, in short, it's not clear now." When you feel that way, you will naturally understand. ”

"Oh. Li Le responded, and then asked: "Is the practice of 'stability' related to personality? For example, it is difficult for people with a beating heart to succeed, but it is easier for people with a calm heart?"

Li Xunhuan shook his head again and said, "There is nothing directly related, if you look at your personality, the eldest brother should be very stable, but when I studied the flying knife technique with the eldest brother, it was difficult for the eldest brother to master it, but I was able to get started quickly." ”

Li Le sighed, wondering in his heart, what kind of feeling is "stability".
