"Master, what is a sword?"

At night, Chen Kan and Long Er quietly looked at the beating bonfire, and Long Er suddenly asked in a serious tone.

Chen Kan was stunned when he heard this, looking at Long'er, Chen Kan didn't expect Long'er to ask this question at this time, he was really a little surprised, Chen Kan found that Xiaolong'er's eyes were full of something called "curiosity".

Human curiosity can be divided into two kinds, one is called "recreational curiosity", this kind of curiosity is broad and shallow, such as a child staring intently at a butterfly that has been fluttering, such as you keep refreshing Weibo and WeChat Moments...... It's just used to kill some time, and it doesn't have much effect.

The other is called "cognitive curiosity", this kind of curiosity can make a child to read the encyclopedia, can make an adult to concentrate on learning a subject, is the fourth driving force of human progress, almost all human progress, personal great achievements are related to this curiosity.

"That little dragon, what do you think is a sword?" Chen Kan asked rhetorically.

However, he didn't wait for Long'er to answer, he closed his eyes, meditated and exercised, didn't pay attention to Long'er, and didn't listen to Long'er's possible answers.

What is Sword?

If there is a discipline about swords, like history and mathematics, which is a discipline of its own, then this question of the dragon must be the ultimate problem of this discipline.

In the discipline of philosophy, there are three ultimate questions: "Who am I?" "Where do I come from?" "Where am I going?" ”

Listening to these three questions, do you have the feeling of watching "Journey to the West", which is one of the reasons why Journey to the West is a classic, and it is Wu Chengen's answer to these three basic questions to a certain extent.

These three questions are the ultimate questions that all philosophers, even scholars, are thinking about all their lives, and if they can confidently answer these three questions, there may be people, Marx, Hegel, Wang Yangming......

Probably not!

The answer to this question will change with people's age, experience, knowledge level, cognitive ability, etc., and it is difficult for you to say what the most ultimate answer is, or what the most standard answer is.

Therefore, no scholar or professional book will tell you what the answers to these three questions are, and they are at most discussing these three questions from different angles and at different levels, and that's it.

Therefore, Chen Kan did not answer this question, Chen Kan's answer can only represent Chen Kan's own sword, it is not Long'er's sword, and his own sword has to be found by himself.

Seeing that his master did not answer his own question, Long Er also felt not disappointed, maybe he was used to it, Long Er looked at the sparks jumping in front of him with a pair of blank eyes, not knowing whether he was in a daze, or thinking about his sword.

In this way, Chen Kan meditated for a night, and Long'er kept staring at the flames until the firewood was burned out, and he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

"Long'er, clean up, let's go back to Chenjiabao." The next morning, after the morning exercise, Chen Kan said.

"Ah, you're going back?" Long Er was stunned at first, and then rejoiced, after all, he is still an eight-year-old child, and it is the nature of a child to have fun, and it is not easy for him to stay in the grassland with Chen Kan for so long.

Chen Kan has high hopes for him, but he also does not want to suppress his nature, Chen Kan has always believed that only the nature of childhood can be freely expressed, and creativity will not be limited when he grows up.

"Hmm!"

"Yay, that's great!" The dragon jumped three feet high, turned around and went to pack his things.

Chen Kan looked at the back of the dragon jumping, shook his head with a smile, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Child, it's so good!" ”

After cleaning up, except for the box behind him, Chen Kan was still empty-handed, while Long Er was carrying a big package, and the burden was made of wolf skin, which was the wolf he killed with his own hands, and the wolf skin that he peeled off himself, Chen Kan sewed.

The package contains all kinds of strange things, such as wolf teeth, strangely shaped stones, etc., which are gifts he wants to bring to his friends and family.

Chen Kan didn't stop him, there was only one request, that is, he wouldn't help him anything, he had to bring it back to Chenjiabao by himself, Long'er patted his chest and guaranteed that it was okay, although Long'er had not been exposed to any martial arts since he was a child, but he had the breathing method that Chen Kan had left on him since he was a child, so his physical fitness was very good, which gave him great confidence.

Chen Kan just smiled and didn't say anything, you must know that they didn't ride horses, they just relied on their feet, which was a big challenge for him, even if it was a weight-bearing practice.

Chen Kan walked for two days and one night and only rested for one night, which was hard for an eight-year-old child, but Long Er persevered in the end and didn't throw anything away on the way.

It took half a month for Chen Kan and Long Er to finally return to Chenjiabao.

"Master, you're back!" As soon as Chen Kan entered the door, Chen Bo found Chen Kan in a hurry.

"What's the matter, Uncle Chen, has something happened?" Chen Kan asked, in the past seven years, Chen Kan often went out to practice, some places because the environment is too bad, the carrier pigeon can not arrive at all, Chen Kan has not returned to Chenjiabao for two years, but everything in Chenjiabao is normal and nothing has happened.

"Ten days ago, a man with an ice sculpture mask, very domineering, he said that he was looking for the head of the house, and when he heard that the head of the house was not there, he was very angry, and had a conflict with the people in the fort, this person's martial arts are very high, and he left after killing a lot of people, saying that he would come back in half a month."

"Ice Mask!" Chen Kan was shocked, and the first thing Chen Kan thought of was Emperor Shakti, because Emperor Shakti's configuration in the TV series was to wear an ice sculpture mask.

"Half an ice sculpture mask, white hair, with a thick chill in martial arts, in the past ten days, the old servant has mobilized all the intelligence networks of Chen Jiabao, but there is no news about this person."

Half an ice mask, white hair, exuding a thick cold air.

As soon as he heard Uncle Chen's description of this person, Chen Kan knew in his heart who this person was, he was not Emperor Shakti, but the Ice Emperor, there was no such person in the TV series, he was Emperor Shakti's apprentice, earlier than Luo Xian.

"Uncle Chen, you don't need to look for someone, since he said that he will come back in half a month, then I just need to wait for him." Chen Kan said.

"Yes!"

After Uncle Chen retreated, Chen Kan stood in the courtyard, looking at the sky, his eyes flashed, and he muttered to himself:

"Very good, Tianmen, you have finally appeared, Emperor Shakti, let me see, who can laugh at the end!"
