Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Land of the World
Walking through the noisy stones, the color is quiet and deep. Crossing the rippling water chestnut, clear and clear reeds.
When she finally arrived at the Master's residence, she looked up at the Octagonal Mountain, and saw the green mountain, the shady trees piercing the vast sky, and a river under the mountain, the river was turbulent and surging.
If it weren't for Master taking her, she would definitely not be able to find this paradise hidden at the foot of the mountain.
Far from the city, a simple mansion by the river is their home. Yan Duyao looked at the surrounding green forests, and couldn't help but think to himself, Mr. Beiguo's true identity, isn't it the same as that day, is he really a master in the world?
There was a man standing in front of the mansion, who looked a little old, but he was tall and mighty, but he couldn't guess his real age like his master.
Yan Du silently calculated in her heart, if Mr. Beiguo had taught her mother, then she would be at least forty years old, but she looked similar to her mother, she should be a real person outside the world, and she should have the skills to stay in her face!
"Little apprentice, this is Uncle Achuan, there are too many trivial matters at home on weekdays, you have to help him more after you come!" I saw Uncle Achuan's eyes blazing, his facial features were distinct, he was six or seven feet tall, majestic, and he seemed to have the majesty of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu!
He stepped forward and grabbed Mr. Beiguo's horse, slowly led it to the door, and after the horse stopped, Mr. Beiguo jumped off the horse, handed the burden to Mei Chuan, and said: "Ah Chuan, I took the little apprentice back, take her back to the room in the east wing!" ”
Mei Chuan glanced at Yan Dui, who was small, carrying a big bag and holding a long sword in his hand, but it was quite a cute little doll.
"Follow."
Yan Du opened her big black and white eyes, and obediently followed behind Uncle Achuan, the master said that she had been away for many days, and she really couldn't stand it and wanted to go to wash, so she disappeared like a wind.
Yan Du looked at the room assigned to him, and saw that the room inside was clean, and even the bedding was new, presumably Uncle Ah Chuan knew that he was coming, and prepared it beforehand.
She was immediately overjoyed, and said to Uncle Ah Chuan gratefully: "Thank you Uncle Ah Chuan for preparing the room for me, I will do chores at home with Uncle Ah Chuan in the future, please try to tell me as much as possible!" ”
Mei Chuan looked Yan Du up and down, his little hands were like jade onions, where was he willing to let this child do chores.
Yan Dusk felt the thoughts in Uncle Achuan's heart, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Achuan, don't look at my young age, apprenticeship is to serve the master, so that the master's life is smooth, I have really never done family affairs before, but I learn things very quickly, I am willing to suffer any hardship, and there will never be a trace of complaints!" ”
Mei Chuan stared at the child's translucent eyes, some fleshy faces were red, and they were so cute! The little doll's tone was firm when she spoke, and it seemed that the person in the family had really accepted a good apprentice, and her expression became softer.
"Rest today, and go with me tomorrow to chop wood." Mei Chuan said to the child, then turned his head and walked out. Behind him, he heard the voice of Yan Dusk's delicate joy:
"Good!"
Mr. Beiguo was soaking in the warm pool in the house, and his jade-white skin exposed to the air did not look like a person over forty at all. Seeing Mei Chuan approaching with a set of clean clothes, Mr. Bei Guo smiled and asked:
"This little apprentice is good, isn't it?"
"Not bad!" He is an honest and serious, hard-working, and firm good boy, Mei Chuan put his clothes on the dry stone and looked directly at Mr. Beiguo in the warm pool and said.
Mr. Bei Guo swam to the warm pool, propped up his arms, and said happily to Mei Chuan: "I want to pass on the 'Yishui Sword Technique' to the little apprentice!" ”
Mei Chuan's eyes were full of Miaoman's figure under the warm pool, and he was suddenly choked by the misty mist and wanted to cough, but he calmly calmed down the dantian and endured it, only to see him blink his eyes and say:
"Can she learn?"
Yishui swordsmanship is unfathomable, learn a trick and already stand above everyone, still living in the world of practitioners, except for Beiguo no one else, this swordsmanship is like a dragon, infinite changes, unique in the world, how can this little hairy child learn?
"She can!" Mr. Beiguo smiled lightly, and the beautiful mole between his eyebrows was eye-catching, but when he saw her, he turned around and walked to the center of the warm pool, turned his back to Mei Chuan and said:
"From the first look at her, I knew it!"
——
Yan Du packed his bags, put away the clothes and silver that his mother stuffed himself, and rested early, Xu is running all the way, all the way worried, the taut strings were finally stretched, and the little head fell asleep as soon as he put the pillow on it, and he had no dreams all night, and he didn't get up until noon.
The little girl walked out of the room nervously, but saw Uncle Achuan, who was carrying a meal, approaching from in front of her. Yan Du looked at Uncle Ah Chuan, who had already prepared the meal, a little ashamed, he swore yesterday that he would share the family affairs with Uncle Ah Chuan, and he had to trouble him today: "Uncle Ah Chuan, I ......"
"Breakfast is in the kitchen, go to load it yourself, and come to the backyard to chop wood when you are full." Mei Chuan stared at Yan Dui, whose hair was a little messy, the little doll was too tired and overslept, a little cute.
Yan Du nodded, watching Uncle Ah Chuan approach the master's room with food, feeling a little sorry in her heart, these should be what her apprentice should do!
Yan Duhuo rushed to the kitchen, had a full meal, and ran to the backyard to wait for Uncle Achuan. She stared at the big axe inserted in the wooden pier, and retreated a little in her heart, can she lift such a large axe?
As soon as she thought of this, she stretched out her tender hands and held the handle of the axe tightly, lifting her breath hard. Sure enough, it can't shake half a point at all.
Yan Du was a little surprised, when he went to the British King's Mansion to practice archery before, he could obviously lift the bow and pull the string, how could he not lift the big axe?
"You have to use the dantian to boost your qi!" Uncle Achuan's slightly hoarse voice sounded behind him.
Yan Du turned his head to look at the comer, Uncle Achuan, who had already served the master for breakfast, his expression was flat, and his eyes glanced at the big axe that he couldn't lift just now.
Yan Dui's eyes fluttered, and a pair of slightly sparse brows furrowed slightly: "Dantian? ”
"When you inhale, your lower abdomen naturally bulges, and when you exhale, your navel and lower abdomen are adducted, and then you stick to the door of life!" I saw Uncle Achuan's tall body step forward, stretched out his big hand, directly to the middle of the axe handle and backwards, and grabbed the big axe with one hand.
"The dantian gathers qi and can be soft, so it can be flexible, it can breathe, and then it can be hard!" Uncle Ah Chuan grabbed the axe with both hands and slashed at the big wooden pier, and the axe went deep into the wood for three points.
"You try!"
Yan Du listened to Uncle Achuan's teachings, closed his eyes and felt the breath in his body. Qi flows through the chest, and the power of the whole body spreads from the feet upwards to the waist with the heat of the breath.
When I opened my eyes again, the axe in my eyes was not as huge as just now, although the axe handle was long, there was no need to use brute strength, and the balance of the world must have a lifeline, whether it was a sword or an axe, take its lifeline, the dantian gathered strength, and there was natural strength in the hand.
Yan Du exhaled steadily, stretched out his hands to the lifeblood of the axe handle, and lifted it hard, lifting the axe into the wood for three points.
Xu didn't expect it himself, Yan Du held up the big axe in surprise, his eyes were wide open, and he looked straight at Uncle Achuan. Mei Chuan was relieved in his heart, and looked at Yan Duan's watery eyes, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
It would be great if she were the child of herself and Beiguo......
"Oops! My little apprentice has lifted the axe! Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, Mr. Bei Guo pretended to be surprised, and a relieved voice sounded from behind him.
"Master!" Yan Du looked at the master with a smile, she was wearing a plain white brocade dress, her hair was pulled up casually, quite the charm of fairy wind and bones, I saw that she had eaten and slept enough after last night's rest, and now she was standing behind them with a hundred times more energy.
"Good apprentice, I thought about it for the teacher last night, the so-called before learning martial arts, you must first learn how to live, sharpen the knife and not chop firewood, from today onwards, you first follow Uncle Achuan to learn to carry water and chop firewood to cook, and one day you can stand on the world, and you can teach you swordsmanship as a teacher!"
Based in the world? Yan Du suddenly felt short of breath, his hand holding the axe was sore, and he was a little unsteady on his feet.
I wanted to learn martial arts from Mr. Beiguo, wanted to avenge the Yan family, and wanted to protect my father, but I never thought that without a foothold and a foundation for martial arts, I wanted to ascend to the sky in one step.
"Good! Master! The apprentice will definitely practice the foundation, and he will never dare to look at the master and be in a hurry for quick success! Yan Du sank, clenched the axe in his hand, and replied to Mr. Beiguo.
Mr. Beiguo was stunned when he heard this, and he was also a little excited in his heart, his words were obviously to ask her to do chores, and secretly wanted her to practice her internal strength first and be pragmatic. This little girl called Twilight really has a seven-pronged exquisite heart, which is clear at one point, sincere in seeking the Tao, able to let go, and knows how to make trade-offs.
Mei Chuan's face that has not changed for thousands of years seems to be dyed with a smile. Dantian luck, what he said clearly, people who listen to it will not use it is also in vain, this little doll listened to him once, and then he knows how to adjust his body and pranayama, which is a rare talent!
But that's not enough!
I saw him holding a roll of wood, placing it on the big wooden pier just now, and said to Yan Dui, "Split it." ”
Yan Du looked at the rings on the wood, nodded, aimed at the center of the wood, and slashed with force.
Hearing only a click, the little girl quickly tilted her head to look, but found that the big axe had only split into the big roll of wood for less than a point.
At this time, Uncle Achuan's calm and serious voice sounded in his ears: "Go on, practice until you can split wood with an axe." ”
Mr. Bei Guo was still smiling, looking at Yan Dui's small back fixedly, only to see the little apprentice nodded, with the October sun on his head, and a little sweat on his forehead was wiped by her, and he raised the axe again and again, swinging it again and again......
Only the sky is sunny for the day, and when you return, you don't realize that it is dusk.
Mr. Bei Guo sat quietly in the courtyard, facing the verdant octagonal mountain, and played a song "Flowing Water".
With the river water in the Yishui River, the quiet sound is independent in the world, the flowing water is thin and cool, and the sound of the piano is sometimes loose and distant, which makes people think of ancient times, and sometimes it is like a natural sound, and the feeling of cold and immortal.
Mei Chuan sat on the stone chair next to him, closed his eyes and listened to the familiar sound of the piano, and the years seemed to fly back to countless years ago. Now that the person who caress the qin has returned to the loess, the sword dancer is in harmony with him, and he is free in the world.
However, the sound of the piano reveals people's hearts, thousands of wisps, all lonely. Daqi has become a thing of the past, it cannot be recalled, he has also heard of Ying Xuanyou's death, he doesn't have to mind, only the person in front of him, the heart that seems to give up everything, has always been tied to the world.
He also felt before that everything in this world was good, as long as she was by his side, everything had nothing to do with him. However, the ambition of the previous dynasty has struggled for half a lifetime and has never been able to give up.
At the end of the song, Mr. Bei Guo looked up at the vast world, looked at the sunset, and said to Mei Chuan:
"Twilight is a kid with a bit of anger, but also a bit of ambition, a heart of hatred, and a heart of innocence. If you take her, it must be a trouble, and if you don't accept her, I'm uneasy. ”
Mei Chuan looked at Mr. Beiguo's fair side face and quietly listened to her continue.
"Now that I've finally figured it out, since we can't part with this world, I'll pass on my lifelong learning to the little apprentice, let her help us see the world, and let her do what we can't do......"
Twilight,Yan Twilight, who was wielding an axe in the backyard,Inadvertently looked up,I saw the bright moon quietly shining in the sky.。。
The white moon loomed in the glow, and the heavens and the earth entered her eyes in an instant......
