Chapter 21 Abandonment of Literature and Martial Arts

After the morning class, Fushengye went to the Adjudication Division and returned the rosary and the Lunar Sutra, which symbolized the faith of the preacher, to the first seat of the Adjudication Division.

Later, he went to the lecture hall to find Bishop Yanshi, and was baptized again and became an ascetic. Bishop Yan said to Fushengye: "You have passed the best age for sword training, it is better to continue to cultivate the text." I have a freshly fluffed futon and a freshly bound Golden Crow Sutra, would you like to accept it? ”

Fushengye said: "Please give me a broken sword and an old scripture book." What I want to cultivate is myself, not futons and scriptures. ”

After Bishop Yanshi's dissuasion failed, Fushengye got his wish and chose the Sword and the Golden Crow Sutra to become a martial artist.

Later, Yan Xi brought the floating leaf to the ancestral hall of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, and asked him to kneel in front of the statue of the ancestor to receive the ordination, and Yan Xi personally awarded the floating leaf warrior apprentice uniform.

It was a green ribbon and a green samurai suit, and a pair of black cloth shoes with mille-feuille soles.

Yan Shi looked at the statue of the patriarch and said, "At first, Xishan was just a foothold for believers to go to the Dongshan Moon God Temple. In the era of the fifth Shao Si Ming, the son of the Yu clan lived here in the twilight of the day, and entered the Tao with a sword.

In the past ten years, he has traveled all over Mangyuan to challenge the grandmasters of various sects without defeat, and is known as the first swordsman of Mangyuan.

Just when he was at the height of his fame, he put his sword on the shelf, abandoned martial arts and literature, and became a preacher.

For more than 50 years, he devoted himself to his studies and preaching, and never touched his sword again in his life.

He also became a peach and plum all over the world because of this, and today's industry on Xishan was planned and built by the ancestor himself. ”

Fushengye said: "I don't want to change anyone, and I don't want to be changed by anyone; It's like I don't want to provoke anyone, and I don't want to be provoked by anyone. Now my only belief is that I want to learn kendo. Because the sword in my hand makes my words heavier! ”

Yan Yan said: "Your grandfather and I have been friends for many years. He entrusted you to me and told me to take good care of you, but you never looked for me before! Why is that? ”

Fushengye said: "Some things are just done casually, there is no why, if you have to ask why, that is I willing." Now I just want to hear you talk about kendo, I don't want to hear you talk about history. ”

Yan Yan said: "I owed your grandfather a favor, so I'll give it back to you now!" ”

Fusheng Ye Dao knelt down and bowed: "The disciple implores the elders to teach!" ”

Yan Shi said: "When any knowledge reaches the extreme, it will be able to pass through one law and one hundred laws. Ordinary martial arts cultivators began to practice swords at the age of seven, and those with a sound physique could become a corporal at the age of thirteen, a sergeant at the age of fifteen, and a sergeant at the age of seventeen. And there are samurai who are gifted and intelligent and have amazing bones, and when they are seventeen years old, they have trained to become brigadier generals. ”

Fusheng Ye said: "What level is the patriarch seventeen years old?" ”

Yan Yan said thoughtfully: "When the patriarch was seventeen years old, he was also a Tsing Yi. ”

Fusheng Ye said: "That's not the same as me, the ancestor can take the achievement, I must try it to know if I can do it." ”

Yan smiled obscurely: "The patriarch began to practice swords in Tsing Yi when he was seventeen years old. After that, he entered the corporal in the first month, and two months later, he directly challenged the sergeant and successfully promoted to the rank. Reached the rank of lieutenant in half a year. A year later, he was already a world-famous general. It took him one year to complete the road that other martial cultivators might not be able to complete in his life. Its natural wealth can only be described by the incarnation of gods and men. ”

Fusheng Ye said: "I want to practice the swordsmanship passed down by the ancestor!" May I? ”

Yan Yan said: "The ancestor's mind is as vast as the sea, and he has condensed the essence of martial arts throughout his life in the twenty-four painting scrolls of the Hidden Sword Pavilion. Let future generations watch and learn. Even his sword during his lifetime was hung in the Hidden Sword Pavilion for future generations to take! ”

Fushengye looked at Yan Shi suspiciously: "You can't be lying to me, right?" Is there such a good thing to get my turn? More than 100 years have passed, what has happened in between? Listen to it, don't tune my appetite! I'm busy. You know I'm ten years late and have a lot of homework to do. ”

Yan Yan said: "You guy hiding in a mask, you are a little clever. Do you know why the Hidden Sword Pavilion is a forbidden place? ”

Fushengye said: "Because you are afraid that the exercises left by the ancestor will be passed on!" If a fool is still a fool after practicing the patriarch's exercises, then it will affect the prestige of the patriarch.! ”

Yan Yan said: "How can the patriarch care about these false names. The purpose of our Eight Great Elders is just to protect you juniors. ”

Fushengye said: "I don't believe it! ”

Yan Yan said: "The ancestor has placed a ban in the Hidden Sword Pavilion. Everyone who enters the Hidden Sword Pavilion will encounter the test left by the ancestor, and if they can't withstand the test, they will naturally not be able to learn the exercises left by the ancestor. ”

Floating leaves asked, "What is the test?" Can I try it? ”

Yan Yan said: "That test is cruel and merciless, and it is called: the way of asking the heart!" Many people can't afford it. You're too weak, too weak! ”

Floating leaves asked, "Is there any way for me to enter and have a look?" ”

Yan Yan said: "Generally, only masters who have reached the level of military generals are qualified to enter it to watch. Tsing Yi Xiao Si can only enter when sweeping the floor. ”

When Fushengye heard this, he asked curiously: "Has Tsing Yi Xiao Si been in?" ”

Yan Yan said: "Of course, the dust inside also needs someone to clean it. ”

Fushengye asked: "Why doesn't that Tsing Yi Xiao Si have to go through the test of the path of inquiry?" ”

Yan Yan said: "Tsing Yi Xiao Si covered his eyes with a black cloth before entering, and if he didn't look at the twenty-four step sword diagram, the ban would not be triggered." ”

Fushengye patted Yan Shi's shoulder and said with a smile: "You see that I am also wearing Tsing Yi, I have already quit the errand of Wenxuan Pavilion, how about I change my job?" ”

Yan Yan said seriously: "No big or small, talk well." ”

Fushengye took out the family heirloom gold seal letter and stuffed it into Yan Shi's palm and said, "This is the only thing on me that has some value, if it's not enough, I can only take off my mask and give it to you!" ”

Yan Xi took the golden seal letter and looked at it for a long time and said, "You are a loser." How can such a thing be given away? But leave it with me first! Let me take care of it for you. ”

Fushengye said: "So you promised me to go to the Hidden Sword Pavilion to sweep the floor?" ”

Yan Yan said: "The martial arts road, the most important foundation, the foundation is not strong, the ground shakes the mountains." The more you want to take shortcuts, the more you won't be able to get far, alas! You are half-way a monk, impetuous, I don't know how to say hello in such a situation! When you are beaten one day and your nose is blue and your face is swollen, you will know that you will regret it! ”

Fushengye was unconvinced and said: "Then why can the ancestor train to become a martial artist in one year?" ”

Yan Yan's whole body trembled: "Is the ancestor a mortal?" A genius like the ancestor who meets once in a thousand years is not the person who should exist in this world, he is a genius from heaven! ”

Fushengye said seriously: "I'm not a person in this world!" ”

Yan Yan said: "Child, it doesn't matter if you look ugly, just cover your face with a mask." But don't think too beautifully, that's going to be a big shame! ”

Fusheng Ye said: "Thank you, Master, I will come to clean the Hidden Sword Pavilion tomorrow." ”

Fusheng Ye returned to his residence and found that Qi Lan Ye and Yan Long Ye were still waiting for him.

The residence is much cleaner than in the past, and it should have been carefully cleaned and sorted out by the younger siblings.

As soon as Lan Lanye saw the floating leaves, he said strangely: "The bedroom you look at was messy before, just like a pigsty." You don't want to clean it up! ”

Fushengye said: "Have you ever seen a pig picking up its nest by itself?" Aren't they all pig breeders picking up? ”

Qi Lanye was angry to death: "Do you still have the appearance of a big brother?" Why are you wearing a green coat inside your black robe.? ”

Fusheng Ye said: "From today onwards, I will abandon literature and martial arts!" ”

Lan Ye said: "Do you know how difficult we are facing, you are still messing around here. An irresponsible person like you, if you don't have the protection of your family, you will be grabbing food from others, and you won't be able to grab the heat! ”

The floating leaves were stimulated by the painting before, and they were still energetic. When he hears the "food" of food, he hears it as ""! He questioned Lan Ye: "It's strange! Why does your eldest brother have to eat, and you have to eat hot food to be satisfied? ”

Yanlong Ye is also not used to seeing the weak and impetuous appearance of floating leaves. He threw a heavy package on the ground with a "dangling": "Here is a pile of jade and jade prepared by the family for this operation. Worth a hundred thousand taels of silver. Uncle Liu Han hopes that you can put this money into operation, so that the Eight Great Elders of Xishan can lean towards the younger sister in the final election. ”

Lan Ye said: "I'll operate on the East Mountain, you don't have to worry about it." But we are not familiar with Xishan, only you have been in Xishan for the longest time, can you take responsibility? It's a matter of life! Are you willing to see your little sister lose the election and be used to sacrifice to the sky? ”

Yan Longye added: "The third prince Lei Zhe led an army of 30,000 troops to be stationed at Dawn Pass. With a strip of water with our 1,000 ironclad army, if the war starts in less than half an hour, our army will be completely annihilated by them. ”

Fusheng Ye's head was as big as a fight, and now he just wanted to concentrate on practicing swords and become a strong man.

There are also floating leaves that are very short of money right now. He looked at the pile of heavy jade, and his heart moved.

He said to Lan Ye: "Leave the jade for me!" I knew what I was going to do next. ”

After receiving his assurance, Lan Ye left with Yan Long Ye satisfied.
