14. Sakura ......
I don't know when it started, but the master began to stop putting laxatives into the food cooked by the young man. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although the teenager is strange, he still goes about his daily life as usual.
Recently, the master has been talking less and less, which makes the boy vaguely aware of something.
At this breakfast, the boy and the master ate very quietly, and did not mess around.
……………………………………………………
【Backyard】
The master modeled the cherry blossom tree that was already in full bloom and said to the boy, "Before you know it, it's spring......
"It must have been a year since you became my disciple......
Sensing that the tone of the master craftsman was a little strange, the young man still listened patiently instead of asking immediately, and the young man who had been tempered countless times had now become mature.
"That's it...... Let's start today's training. The master shook his head and held back the rest of his words.
The boy looked at the cherry blossom trees in full bloom and was silent.
The master craftsman straightened his face and said to the young man solemnly: "Today's training is called 'Cutting Sakura'. Let's cut off the scattered cherry blossoms. The weight of cherry blossoms is lighter than that of leaves, so you can grasp it yourself. ”
"No more than 3 pieces may be dropped by mistake."
The boy nodded, holding the bamboo knife in both hands.
"Start now." The master suddenly erupted, and seventeen sounds rang out at the same time. Seventeen cherry blossom trees were struck hard in an instant. The cherry blossoms continue to drift in the sky.
The young man's heart has stopped watering, and his state of mind has been sublimated to a realm without waves and no temperament.
In the boy's perception, the cherry blossoms scattered in the sky were already still, as if condensed in the air.
The boy moved.
There was no gorgeous sword dance, no swift swordsmanship, the boy just kept wielding the bamboo knife and gently slashing the cherry blossoms.
But this simple movement gives people the feeling of the most gorgeous sword dance in the world, the most powerful swordsmanship in the world.
Time and space no longer exist in the eyes of the boy, and in the eyes of the boy there are only scattered cherry blossoms.
Knife after knife, each knife was cut on each cherry blossom without mistake, and while the bamboo knife gently slashed, the cherry blossom also quietly split in half.
Error-free and meticulous.
The master craftsman looked at it for a long time and found that there was not a single cherry blossom mistake. All were cut out with unmistakable accuracy.
The boy's swordsmanship has reached an unspeakable realm.
The scattered cherry blossoms were all cut down, and suddenly the boy looked thoughtfully into the air.
The last small petal of cherry blossoms floated in the air.
The boy stretched out his hand to catch the cherry blossom and pinched it. The master craftsman also secretly noted in his heart that the boy made a mistake and dropped a petal.
But the master miscalculated, and the master saw something that shocked him greatly.
The master looked blankly at the cherry blossom behind the young man who let go of his palm, which had been a whole petal and had now split into two petals.
The rift was so smooth that it seemed to have been cut open by the sharpest of divine weapons.
The boy had only been cultivating for a year, but he could already touch the threshold of transforming into a sword.
The master was silent.
"Today's training ended early." The master craftsman turned around and walked back to the training ground. The training ended early, and this kind of thing is the first time that a teenager has been apprenticed to the present.
The boy thought for a moment and walked to the firewood room.
The firewood room now only has a pair of poles and buckets. No, it should be said that it is [a pair of oversized lead rods and an oversized lead water tank]
For a long time, teenagers didn't have to fetch water, and now fetching water is only symbolic. At the same time, the boy included the single task of carrying water in his training schedule for a day.
The oversized lead stick is two meters long and palm-wide, pure lead.
The oversized lead water tank is two meters deep and one meter wide. Pure lead.
This weight could have killed some youkai directly, but the boy only felt a little heavy when he carried it.
Due to the special footwork, the ground under the boy's feet was not crushed.
The boy was nearly dead when he carried a lead-filled pole and a lead-filled bucket to carry water, but now he can lift a lead stick and a water tank of pure lead.
Thinking of this, the boy couldn't help but feel emotional. I couldn't help but move a lot faster.
The master looked at the young man who went out to fetch water, and was silent.

In the evening, the boy makes dinner. The master and apprentice ate quietly.
After a year of getting along, the young man knew that the master craftsman was actually a very serious person, especially when he never spoke during meals.
But today there are exceptions. The master craftsman put down the dishes and chopsticks and said to the young man: "Xunjun, you have been my disciple for a year. ”
The boy also put down the dishes and chopsticks, sat upright and replied, "Thanks to the hard training of the master craftsman. ”
The master sighed, "I have nothing more to teach you. You're a quick learner, and you've met what I think by the end of a year."
The boy had already guessed what the master was going to say, but he still listened patiently to the master craftsman's words.
The master closed his eyes and thought for a while, finally opened his eyes, and said to the young man cautiously and seriously: "Tomorrow I will conduct a teacher assessment for you. ”
When the boy heard this, he silently took two steps back, knelt down and kowtowed three times.
Tonight, the teenager had insomnia.
Finally going to get out of the hands of the master craftsman, I used to look forward to it every day.
But the boy felt that an important thing was missing in his heart, and the sudden departure made the young man at a loss.
The boy wasn't ready, and he didn't even know what he would do if he left school.
The next morning, the teenager walked to the training ground again and opened the door to the training ground.
But unexpectedly, today's teenager was not attacked by the throwing knife of the master craftsman.
"Let's go grocery shopping," the master craftsman put the four-system money on the palm of the young man's hand with unexpected gentleness.
The young man was startled by the unexpected gentleness of the master craftsman, and only reacted in a half-loud manner.
When he went out, the boy often saw Shi Jiro. But Shi Jiro didn't gather his friends to throw stones at the boy today.
"Big brother is leaving...... It's going to be boring later. Shi Jiro asked sullenly as he squatted on the ground.
"......" The boy didn't know how to answer.
Mrs. Kawako, who was along the way, was very enthusiastic in making a new set of clothes for the teenager today, and she did not charge any fees.
The vendors along the route greeted the teenager with real enthusiasm today, instead of waiting for the miscellaneous goods in the sky.
The Nan sisters along the way did not throw banana peels today, but greeted the teenager very enthusiastically.
Zheng Tu along the way gave the boy a pound of meat for nothing today.
Sidoro along the way sent a pound of cabbage to the boy.
...... along the way
...... along the way
The boy walked all the way down without any obstacles at all. Bought everything in the ordinary way.
Back in front of the dojo of Benge Temple, the young man hesitated to step into this familiar place, but in the end, he stepped in.
The master was still silent.
The boy made a very hearty breakfast today.
The master and apprentice ate silently, but they already knew that this was the last time they would eat together.
After the meal, the teenager stepped into the backyard.
The master craftsman stood in the middle of the backyard, and said to the young man with a serious expression: "Now we will start the assessment of the disciple Jiukong Xun."
The young man put his hand on the bamboo knife at his waist and looked up at the master craftsman: "Ready." ”
The two burst into each other almost at the same time.
The teacher assessment has begun.
