Chapter Twenty-Eight: Eyes, Hearts, and Hands

Xu Yuanyao said: "It's okay, just break a branch as a sword, we are not fighting to the death, just exchanging skills." ”

"That's right. ”

Xu Daoyun nodded.

The two walked into the maple forest, and Xu Yuanyao drew a knife and chopped off a branch.

Xu Daoyun bent down to pick it up, grabbed it in his hand, and said with a smile: "Take advantage of it." ”

Xu Yuanyao stood still outside Sanzhang and said, "Can you perform Liuhe Liuyu again?"

Liuhe Liuhe was the last trick Xu Daoyun used to defeat her yesterday, and she never forgot it after she went back, tossing and turning all night, and her mind was full of pictures of Xu Daoyun stabbing the six swords.

"Yes, it's just ......"

"Just what?"

"If you don't have a target, if you stab the sword out of thin air, I'm afraid it won't be able to show its subtlety. ”

"It's simple. ”

Xu Yuanyao came to a maple tree and said, "I shook off the maple leaves, and you take them as a target." ”

"Good idea. Xu Daoyun nodded in agreement.

Xu Yuanyao slapped his palm on the trunk of the tree, and the internal strength overflowed, and the maple tree with the thickness of the bowl shook three times.

I only heard a loud noise, and the fiery red maple leaves fell like raindrops.

Xu Daoyun calmed down, opened his sword, lunged to lead the sword, shook his wrist and stabbed wildly, and stabbed with long stabs.

The branch in his hand turned into an afterimage, and only six swords were stabbed out in total, but all the maple leaves were pierced on the branches, and not a single one was missed.

Seeing this move again, Xu Yuanyao was still shocked.

She muttered, "How did you manage to be so meticulous with such a fast sword?"

Xu Daoyun put away his sword and stood up, and replied, "This requires eye training. ”

"Eyesight?"

"Yes, the so-called eyesight is not only the eye, but also the eye, the hand, and the heart at the same time. ”

Xu Yuanyao didn't pretend, shook his head generously and said, "I don't understand." ”

Xu Daoyun patiently explained: "For example, our eyes, in fact, our eyes can see a lot of things, but our attention will only focus on one point, for example, cousin, you are looking at me now, but you don't notice that there is a small insect at my feet." ”

Xu Yuanyao was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head, and sure enough, he saw an insect crawling at Xu Daoyun's feet.

She seems to have understood, but she can't grasp the essentials, and this feeling of understanding and not understanding is really unbearable.

Xu Daoyun continued: "This is the heart, we see a lot of things, but the attention is only one point, if you want to make a quick and meticulous move, the first thing you need to learn is to see the six ways." ”

"Where do I start?"

Xu Daoyun said: "Actually, it's very simple, I shake the leaves down, you just need to grab them all with both hands and practice repeatedly." ”

"Hmm. ”

Xu Ying nodded.

"This is the eye and the heart, and as for the final hand, it requires the speed of your moves to keep up with the speed of your mind. ”

"How long did it take you to learn?"

"Practice makes perfect, it took me half a month to learn. Xu Daoyun replied truthfully.

Unconsciously until noon, Xu Ying was tired of it, forgetting to sleep and eat, if it wasn't for Xu Daoyun's reminder, I don't know when she would practice.

"Are you hungry?"

"Cousin, aren't you hungry?"

"It's fine. ”

Xu Ying put the knife into the sheath and said, "That's it here today, continue tomorrow." ”

Xu Daoyun didn't like to be troubled, but Xu Ying was his cousin after all, so he had to agree.

Back at Xu's mansion, Xu Yuanyao left on his own.

Xu Daoyun knocked on the door of the Biting Courtyard and said with a big grin: "I'm starving, I can smell the food from thirty zhang away, what delicious food is cooking today?"

crossed the threshold, but saw Xu Ying sitting on the stone bench looking at him with a smile and waving his hand.

"Why are you here again?"

Xie Lian pulled Xu Daoyun and reproached in a low voice: "The person who comes is a guest, let's be polite." ”

Xu Ying didn't care, Nunu said, "I sent you back your clothes, and I came to have a meal by the way." ”

Xu Daoyun really saw a black robe on the stone table, he scratched his head and said with a smile: "Thank you." ”

"Oh, there's still vegetables burning in the pot. ”

Xie Lian exclaimed, turned around and ran into the room.

Xu Ying smiled: "Although you are a scoundrel, you are quite careful, are you afraid that I will catch a cold?"

Xu Daoyun sat beside her and said, "After all, you will sleep in the library building, a large part of it is because of me, and it is also appropriate to take care of you." ”

"Okay. ”

Xu Ying shrugged her shoulders and said, "I heard the young lady say, you went out with Cousin Yuan Yao just now?"

"yes. Xu Daoyun nodded.

"Where have you been?"

"Maple forest outside the county. ”

Xu Ying grinned and said, "I know that Cousin Yuan Yao loves martial arts and is obsessed, she must have come to you for advice, right?"

"You know her well. ”

"Of course. ”

Xu Ying smiled proudly, and then asked, "In the afternoon, do you want to go to Fenglin with Cousin Yuan Yao?"

Xu Daoyun shook his head: "No, I want to go to the library to read again." ”

"How many have you seen again?" Xu Ying looked at him with a smile.

Xu Daoyun replied truthfully: "Three copies." ”

"Bragging!"

Xu Ying glared at her beautiful eyes and said angrily: "You don't fool people less, how can you read three books in one night?"

Xu Daoyun corrected: "It's not one night, I only used two hours. ”

"Come on, I don't believe it. ”

Xu Daoyun was noncommittal.

After lunch, Xu Daoyun went to the library building, and did not return to the Biting Courtyard until three o'clock in the unitary hour.

"I'm going to go to Nanshan Cemetery tomorrow. ”

Xu Daoyun said while eating.

Xie Lian said worriedly: "Didn't you say that it was a special period recently, our whereabouts are always being watched, will it be inappropriate to go to Nanshan Cemetery at this time?"

Xu Daoyun said: "Tomorrow I will go out with Cousin Yuan Yao and take the opportunity to go to Nanshan, it should be able to confuse the public, I will pay more attention, and it will be fine." ”

"Why don't you wait a little longer for the limelight to pass?"

Xu Daoyun shook his head and said, "I can't wait, my cultivation has encountered a bottleneck, and I need the master's personal guidance, and I must not stop at this time." ”

Xie Lian pursed her lips, bit her lower lip and said, "That...... Shall I go with you?"

Xu Daoyun said with a smile: "No need, I'll go alone, lest they be suspicious, you can stay at home and cook a meal and wait for me to come back." ”

"Hmm. ”

Xie Lian nodded and smiled sweetly.

The next day at noon.

Xu Daoyun and Xu Yuanyao went out together, but when they saw Xu Zhengde putting the big bag and small bag on horseback, they should be going out.

Xu Daoyun asked, "Second uncle, where are you going?"

Xu Zhengde said: "There is a problem with the transportation route from Quwo County to Yanghe County, it seems that a group of wicked people occupy the mountain as the king, and have robbed us of many materials, and I have just received the news that I will go to Yanghe County and the county government to eradicate this gang of bandits." ”

"Erbo, be careful. ”

Xu Zhengde said with a smile: "Daoyun doesn't have to worry, the second uncle has his own measure." ”

He glanced at Xu Yuanyao and asked, "Where are you going?"

Xu Daoyun replied truthfully: "Cousin Yuan Yao and I went to the maple forest outside the county to learn martial arts. ”

"Well, you are all leaders of my Xu family, and it is indeed helpful to learn from each other and exchange experiences. ”

"The second uncle has won the award. ”

After saying a few more words, Xu Zhengde didn't say more, turned over his horse, and walked away.

In the maple forest.

Xu Yuanyao put the knife into the sheath, and his always calm face had joy that could not be concealed, and said with a smile: "Compared with yesterday, I have become a lot more proficient. ”

Xu Daoyun praised from the bottom of his heart: "My cousin has an excellent understanding, which is really admirable. ”

"Brilliant in understanding?"

Xu Yuanyao looked at him with a smile and said, "This point is simply different from you. ”

"What's the matter, cousin is joking. ”

Xu Yuanyao didn't delve into it, but after walking a few steps, he found that Xu Daoyun was still standing in place, and couldn't help asking, "Is there anything else?"
