Chapter 32: Arrogance

In the book, Yang Guo learned the ancient tomb entry kung fu completely at the age of sixteen, and since then, under the teaching of Xiaolongnu, the two have pondered and practiced the "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra" together. The miserable lives of Yang and Long then kicked off.

When I first practiced the Heart Sutra, the master and apprentice were both ignorant boys and girls, who only knew the difference between men and women, and did not know what it was. They abide by the promise of "one life for a lifetime", care for each other, love each other, and really think that this life will always go on like this, where do you think that there are unforeseen circumstances, the world is sinister, and there are many incidents in the future.

Thinking of the natural barrier formed by the red flowers that Yang Guo found today, the dragon couldn't help but worry. In "The Condor Heroes", the red flowers and green leaves are beautiful, but every time they are mentioned, they must lead to a sad, frustrated, and sad event.

For example, the brocade that Li Mochou gave to Lu Zhanyuan was embroidered with red flowers and green leaves, using red flowers as a metaphor for himself, and green leaves as a metaphor for lovers, which means matching, who knew that Lu Zhanyuan was a negative man, and he lived up to Li Mochou's true feelings.

For another example, the safflower barrier is located in the hidden mountain col, which just provides an excellent place for Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo to practice, the master and apprentice are happy to have success, but the sky does not fulfill people's wishes, at the critical juncture of Xiaolongnu Xuangong, Zhao Zhijing and Zhen Zhibing, two Taoist priests will come here, and "bump" Yang and Long in the dispute, causing Xiaolongnu to be seriously injured and almost killed; Immediately afterwards, Li Mochou and his apprentice Hong Lingbo came to invade the ancient tomb, and after a vicious fight, Yang and Long escaped and escaped, but fell into the bitter night at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain;

For another example, in the Valley of Despair, on the edge of the cliff with broken intestines, Xiaolongnu left a sixteen-year covenant and broken intestine grass in order to save Yang Guo's life, and committed suicide by jumping off the cliff. The dragon girl flowers are luxuriant, red like fire, and very gorgeous, but they have become the funeral flowers of the little dragon girl.

The flowers are delicate, even if they can withstand the wind and frost, they will leave lingering scars all over their bodies, and they will eventually wither with the wind.

"What should come is always coming, I wonder how the gods of this world will arrange for me, a person from another world?"

"Brother Long, what did you say?"

The dragon was taken aback, and it turned out that he was inadvertently saying what was in his heart while contemplating. He pondered, kept his composure, and asked softly, "Guo'er, what's wrong?" Xin said: "I don't know how much Yang Guo heard?" Gotta find a way to fool the past. ”

Yang Guo sat up from the bed, dazed, looked around, and yawned twice before responding: "It's okay, Brother Long, I seem to hear you talking to me, but I didn't hear clearly." ”

Long Dao: "Come on, you're dreaming." ”

Yang Guo shook his head, sobered up a little, and nodded: "It should be, you don't talk to me much, and I can talk to you more when I dream." ”

The dragon relieved himself, jumped off the rope, walked to Yang Guo's side, patted Yang Guo's head with a cold palm, and said, "Guo'er, are you complaining about me?" ”

Yang Guo was a stirring spirit and regretted: "It's broken, it's broken, I'm sleeping, how can I say what is in my heart." I froze.

The dragon stroked Yang Guo's messy hair and said with a smile: "Guo'er, go wash your face and sober up." ”

Yang Guo burst out laughing and scratched his head.

Long Dao: "Go quickly, I'll wait for you outside the tomb, and I'm going to practice kung fu again." ”

Long first watched Yang Guo make up for the golden bell rope kung fu that had been delayed in the morning, and then taught him the swordsmanship - the ancient tomb bladeless sword, until sunset.

Yang Guo learned swordsmanship for the first time, and he was still unsatisfied. He remembered that when he was on Peach Blossom Island, Guo Jing taught Guo Fu and the Wu brothers the Yue Nu swordsmanship, and he had a plan in his heart.

Since Yang Guo lost his mother, no one has taken care of him, he has mixed up a ruffian, his behavior is rude, and his behavior is naturally not as good as Guo Fu and Xiaowu, who are from famous families, and he is often looked down upon by the three. And because Yang Guo has a strong personality and is naturally arrogant, he will never admit defeat and surrender every time he is bullied by three people, but he will be beaten even worse, and he often has a blue nose and swollen face. Guo Jing was careless and dismissive of the fights between children; Huang Rong was prejudiced against Yang Guo, resigned herself to these things, and stubbornly did not teach Yang Guo martial arts. Yang Guo can't forget this humiliating day, and since then, he has been determined to learn superior martial arts, looking forward to one day raising his eyebrows.

Yang Guo held up the wooden sword and asked, "Brother Long, which is more powerful than the bladeless sword of our ancient tomb and the swordsmanship of Yue Nu?" ”

Long Dao: "The Yue Nu swordsmanship is a famous swordsmanship in the world, which was learned by Han Xiaoying in the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan, and later passed on to Guo Jing, that is, your Uncle Guo. However, I only know the martial arts of the ancient tomb, and I have never fought with anyone, so I can't tell which one is more powerful. After that, how did you remember to ask this? ”

Yang Guo told Long in the past, but he was still angry between his words.

Long stretched out his palm and wiped it in front of Yang Guo's eyes, suppressed his fierce look, and said to Yang Guo: "Guo'er, Zheng Zheng should be broad-minded and tolerant, and he can't care about everything." ”

Yang Guo asked rhetorically: "Brother Long, then I can't fight back if I am bullied?" In my heart, I still have the idea that "if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, and if people offend me, I will pay it back."

Long Dao: "Of course not, you can't be indecisive when you should make a move, otherwise you will be cowardly." Come with me somewhere. ”

Yang Guo asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Long Dao: "You'll know when you arrive, let's compare and compare", said, jumped up, and flew out more than ten zhang away in the blink of an eye.

What Yang Guo was not afraid of was the competition, so he breathed a sigh of relief and chased after him.

However, how could his subtle kung fu be compared to the dragon, and after a while, Yang Guo lost his way in the forest, and he could no longer find the dragon's figure. However, he was not in a hurry, and after going around the spot a few times, he picked a big tree and climbed up. If Yang Guo had encountered this situation before, he would have cried loudly for a while, and he would never have been so calm.

Yang Guo always remembered that Long wanted him to be a big husband and a man, and he didn't like him to cry and cry.

At this time, the sky was gone, and the sky was full of stars.

Yang Guo stood on the top of the tree, with a wide field of vision, and immediately saw the figure of the dragon, which was very eye-catching in the night.

"Brother Dragon"

Yang Guo shouted excitedly, jumped to the dragon's side on the branch, and said, "Brother Long, I knew you wouldn't be too far away from me. ”

Long Dao: "I have grown a lot. ”

Yang said: "But I still can't compare to you, Brother Long, when do I have to be like you?" ”

Long said: "Don't worry, it's a matter of course." Your qualifications are better than mine, as long as you are willing to work hard, and then have the help of the cold jade bed, it won't be long before your kung fu can surpass me. ”

Yang said, "Really? Then when the time comes, I will be able to protect you. When the bad guys come, I'll go first, Brother Long, and you will rest on the side. ”

The dragon smiled faintly and stroked the top of Yang Guo's head.

Yang Guo smiled and asked, "Brother Long, where are you going to take me?" ”

The dragon raised his hand and pointed upward.

Yang said: "The top of the mountain!" ”

The dragon nodded and said, "Okay, are you resting?" ”

Yang said: "Okay." "Jumped out one step ahead.

The dragon followed behind, slightly slower than Yang Guo, and only rushed to help Yang Guo when he was out of strength, so as not to damage the foundation of martial arts.

It was not easy to climb the mountain, and after a full hour, the master and apprentice reached the top of the mountain.

Yang Guo sat on the ground with an "oops", panting, and said, "I'm tired to death." He lay on the ground, his limbs wide open, and used the snow on the mountain to cool himself.

The dragon ignored Yang Guo, who was rolling on the ground, walked to the edge of the cliff, and stood in the wind, his black hair and white clothes swaying with the wind, as if he wanted to ride the wind.

Yang Guo tossed for a while, saw that the dragon ignored him, stopped playing, got up and ran to the dragon's side, and stood side by side with him.

As far as the eye can see, in the twilight night, the mountains and forests are reckless, the ancient tombs have disappeared, hidden in them, the pavilions in the Chongyang Palace are not visible, only a little sporadic firelight remains, and the towns under the mountains are even more shadowless, and even the location is difficult to distinguish. The land is vast, mixed into darkness, and under the shroud of smoke, it stretches endlessly.

Long Dao: "After a child, people live in the world, only a hundred years, if you want to be at ease, chic, your mind must be as broad as this world, you have to have the embrace of all things, we live, do not seek to be worthy of others, only to be worthy of yourself, worthy of the right way of heaven and earth." ”

Yang Guo asked: "Brother Long, you just told me this truth, I have put aside my grudge against Xiaowu, and I will not go to them for revenge in the future." ”

The dragon nodded, and then said: "After that, you see the mountain under our feet, this mountain that rises from the ground and towers into the clouds is like our ancient tomb martial arts, which is already superior in the world, but it can surpass many sects, just say that I fought with Guangchengzi Hao Datong that day, and almost took his life, which is an example." ”

Hearing Hao Datong's name, Yang Guo remembered that Granny Sun had lost his hand, hatred was regenerated, and his eyes were staring at the direction of Chongyang Palace.

The dragon stretched out his palm and wiped it in front of Yang Guo's eyes, and said to him, "Guo'er, you promised me not to take revenge." ”

Yang Guo sullenly "En".

Long continued: "However, when I fought with him, I still used our introductory kung fu, and the more advanced martial arts were useless? Otherwise, it would have taken the life of his Manguan Taoist priest that day. ”

Yang Guoqi said: "Beginner kung fu? Am I practicing Kung Fu now? ”

Long Dao: "Well, it's the kung fu you are practicing now, the strongest martial arts left by the ancestor and mother-in-law have to be practiced by the two of them, I don't know it now, I have to wait for you to learn the introductory kung fu in the future, and then practice with you." ”

Yang Guo was overjoyed and said happily: "Then after we practice, won't we have to go alone in the martial arts and become the first in the world." "I was angry.

Long shook his head and said lightly: "I'm telling you this, but I don't want you to fight for the first place with your martial arts. I tell you about the subtlety of our martial arts, which is to let you practice with peace of mind, and after you finish your studies, you will not fall behind, and at that time, you will have enough strength to be around, even if you are arrogant. ”

Yang Guo heard Long say this, he was both weak and moved, and asked, "Brother Long, don't you hate it?" Uncle Guo, Aunt Guo, and Father-in-law Ke always think that I have a bad temperament, and they are worried that I will get into trouble in the future and take the wrong path to become a little villain. ”

Long Dao: "I don't hate it, what does it have to do with whether you have a good temperament or not?" Besides, being an apprentice is going to cause trouble for the master, if you grow up obediently, what else can I teach you? ”

Yang Guo asked excitedly: "So, what if I really cause an irreparable disaster in the future?" Brother Long, don't you hate me either? ”

Long Dao: "Don't hate it, if you really grow crooked and become a bad person, in the final analysis, it's me, the master, who didn't teach you well, you are wrong, and I am even more wrong." Later, if you really cause a big disaster, don't think that I will spare you, and when the time comes, I will kill you with my own hands to apologize, and then kill myself. ”

Yang Guo hurriedly said: "Brother Long, if I make a mistake, you scold me, beat me, and kill me, I am willing, but don't commit suicide, I don't want you to die." ”

Long Dao: "After that, you forgot, I promised Grandma Sun to take care of you for the rest of your life, so if you die, I can't live, I must die with you." ”

Yang Guo looked at the dragon and didn't react for a while.

When the dragon said life and death, he was still expressionless and cold, as if the words he said were not a major matter related to life and death, but ordinary words in ordinary life. However, Yang Guo knew that Long was serious, and what he said was true, that is, when he made a big mistake, Long would really take his life with his own hands, and he would really die with him.

Yang Guo was afraid of the dragon's resolute determination, cold and ruthless, and he couldn't accept that the master he respected and loved from the bottom of his heart would be so strict with him, even more so than Guo Jing, Zhao Zhijing and others. At the same time, I thought that the dragon was willing to die with him and not let him be lonely on the Huangquan Road, is this another kind of deeper love?

Yang Guo lowered his head, frowned, and asked: "Brother Long, you are older than me, logically speaking, you will die earlier than me, I... Concealed Grandma Sun's promise to take care of Long for the rest of his life.
