Chapter 353: Ten years later, Kenshin is clear and out of the ordinary.
Teaching students according to their aptitude is easier said than done.
A wise teacher can train ordinary disciples into talents and make them strong. A vulgar teacher can make a genius bury his talent and become stupid.
Maxima often has, Bole does not often have.
That's what happened.
Xu Shilin's situation is a bit special, he is a real genius, not to say that he was born to know, but his talent is absolutely one in a million. If Chen Yanzhi wants to teach him to be a super strong person, or even surpass himself, he must cultivate him with his heart. There is no room for sloppiness.
Xu Shilin began his practice at the age of five.
The first six years were all about laying the foundation.
Chen Yanzhi's path of cultivation is to follow the spiritual school. As long as the state of mind goes up, martial arts cultivation will come naturally.
When teaching Xu Shilin, Chen Yanzhi paid the most attention to cultivating his concentration.
Buddhism can be said to be at the forefront of Confucianism and Taoism in cultivating the mind.
Precepts, concentration, and wisdom.
It is the foundation of mind cultivation.
Quit bad habits and thoughts, and concentration will naturally go up. With concentration, the body and mind are purified. At that time, the mood is raised.
As a result of the elevation of the state of mind, great wisdom is generated.
With wisdom comes power.
After laying a good foundation for cultivation, Chen Yanzhi taught Xu Shilin to practice qi, boxing, and sword.
Xu Shilin's cultivation speed really surprised Chen Yanzhi.
No matter what kind of boxing and swordsmanship, in Xu Shilin's hands, if you practice it three times, you will be proficient, and if you connect it ten times, you will be able to understand it and draw inferences from one another.
Under Chen Yanzhi's hypnosis, Li Xianglian was able to fall into a deep sleep on her own after a long time. But Xu Shilin was able to enter a state of deep sleep in only three days, and in less than half a year, he was able to enter the dormant state of the "living dead".
Less than ten years old, Xu Shilin's state of mind reached the level of "clear mind". With such a terrifying cultivation speed, there are very few cultivators who can be better than him throughout the ages.
Of course, like the Sixth Patriarch Huineng, at a young age, once he had an epiphany, he attained supreme enlightenment and became a Buddha and an ancestor, Xu Shilin cannot be compared. But how many great enlightened people in the world can there be like the Sixth Ancestor Huineng?
In two months, it will be Xu Shilin's sixteenth birthday.
In the evening, Xu Shilin finished his homework, closed his book, and went into the kitchen to cook dinner.
Spiritual cultivation is more powerful than Jiuyang Divine Skill Body Protection, and he learns everything very quickly.
Chen Yanzhi's knowledge, swordsmanship, and cooking skills, Xu Shilin has learned the essence.
Xu Shilin treats Chen Yanzhi as a relative, but he can't go to Master's place every day to eat. Fortunately, after learning to cook, Xu Shilin can finally cook by himself.
You can eat whatever you want, conveniently.
Cooking, choosing, washing, chopping, stir-frying, and serving.
Xu Shilin's movements are clean and neat, and they are like flowing water in one go.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Xu Shilin finished the meal.
The food cooked in a wood-fired iron pot is particularly fragrant.
As soon as the meal was served, Li Gongfu returned from the county office.
"Uncle, aunt, cousin, it's time to eat."
Xu Shilin said with a smile.
Cousin Li Bilian saw the food on the table and exclaimed, "Wow, cousin, these are all dishes I like to eat." You're so nice. ”
The family sat down to eat.
After a few mouthfuls of rice, Xu Shilin said, "Auntie, uncle, after dinner, I want to go out of the city to Master's vegetable garden." Master said that my homework will be tested today. I don't come back to sleep at night. I'll bring back the noon and afternoon vegetables tomorrow morning. ”
Over the years, Chen Yanzhi has rarely lived in the city. Except for treating the people in the security hall, most of the rest of the time is in the vegetable garden outside the city.
Chen Yanzhi built a small wooden house next to the vegetable garden.
It's very clean and suitable for practice.
In the process of teaching Xu Shilin, Chen Yanzhi got a lot of "data" from Xu Shilin. These "data" are very valuable for research. Chen Yanzhi gained a lot of knowledge and increased his knowledge.
Through the study of Xu Shilin's practice, Chen Yanzhi realized many of his own shortcomings.
Chen Yanzhi's cultivation at the mundane level is actually complete.
But learning is endless, not an empty word.
As long as you keep improving, you can always find the shortcomings.
Chen Yanzhi's vegetable garden is full of fruits and vegetables all year round.
Chen Yanzhi and Li Xianglian couldn't finish eating, and Xu Shilin would come to pick some every day.
Xu Jiaorong said: "It's going to be dark soon. Do you still want to go out of town? Let your uncle send you. ”
Li Gongfu said: "Yes, Shilin, after dinner, I will send you to Little Brother Chen." ”
Xu Shilin shook his head and said, "Auntie, uncle, no." Master's vegetable garden is not far from the city, and I will be able to get there before dark. Don't worry about me. ”
In terms of martial arts cultivation alone, Xu Shilin is not much weaker than Chen Yanzhi. Not to mention Qiantang County, even if it is the whole of Hangzhou, how many people will be their opponents?
It's just that Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong didn't know that Xu Shilin was practicing martial arts, they only thought that Xu Shilin was very good at learning and homework. didn't know that Xu Shilin was already a super strong.
In order to save his father and mother from Jinshan Temple, Xu Shilin's potential was all stimulated. Cultivation can be described as a thousand miles in the day.
Because Xu Shilin's usual appearance is gentle and elegant, and he is a bookish and angry. He is so low-key that no one can tell that he is a strong martial artist.
Li Gongfu said: "Don't you need me to send it? All right. Shilin, you have grown up, and you can make your own decisions about many things. Exam every three years. Next year, the imperial court will hold the imperial examination again, I don't know if you are sure about Shilin? ”
With Xu Shilin's current knowledge, there is no problem in taking the palace examination. But Xu Shilin still said modestly: "I haven't taken the test yet, how do I know the result." However, when it came time to take the exam, I did my best. ”
Xu Jiaorong said: "Yes, yes, yes." Shilin, just do your best. Don't push yourself. ”
Cousin Li Bilian said: "Dad, mother, my cousin's homework is very powerful. He has memorized the four books and five classics backwards and comprehended them thoroughly. He's going to get in. Be of good cheer. ”
……………………
Xu Shilin went out of the city, performed light exercises, and turned into a phantom and rushed to the vegetable garden.
When he arrived at the courtyard of the wooden house, Xu Shilin saw Li Xianglian picking cowpeas with a basket. But Master Chen Yanzhi was not at home.
"Aunt Lian, where's Master?" Xu Shilin asked.
Li Xianglian said with a smile: "It's Shilin who is here." My husband is practicing in the back mountain. When you get to the woods in the back mountain, you can see him. Go find him. ”
Xu Shilin's perceptual range can reach more than two miles in a radius. However, in order to warm up his spirit, Xu Shilin generally does not consume his energy to deliberately perceive everything around him. What consumes energy, Xu Shilin can not do it, so he will not do it.
Xu Shilin nodded and said, "I'll go to the master now." ”
………………
Come to the back mountain.
Xu Shilin saw Chen Yanzhi forcing his eyes and sitting cross-legged on the stone.
Around Chen Yanzhi, there were dozens of green leaves, flying quickly in various mysterious trajectories. These leaves, under the control of Chen Yanzhi's spiritual power, do not interfere with each other, and can also form various exquisite patterns in the air.
Controlling dozens of leaves at the same time is very exhausting and mental. But it can also play a role in refining the heart and spirit.
All the leaves fell to the ground.
Chen Yanzhi opened his eyes and said gently, "Came so early? ”
Xu Shilin nodded and said, "The disciple rushed over immediately after dinner." ”
Chen Yanzhi stood up and said, "It's been a long time since I tried your boxing and swordsmanship. You said that you have made a new breakthrough in your martial arts, let me see. ”
Xu Shilin's eyes flashed, and a serious expression appeared on his face: "Master, then you have to be careful." ”
Xu Shilin's toes lightly touched the ground, his body ignored the air resistance, and attacked Chen Yanzhi with a punch.
Over the years, Xu Shilin has deeply cultivated the snake fist in the twelve forms of Xingyi.
Perhaps because of Bai Suzhen's bloodline on his body, the snake-shaped fist was on Xu Shilin's body, and the power was exerted to the fullest.
The snake is hidden in the sleeve, and the gods are difficult to prevent.
Playing tricks with Xu Shilin, Chen Yanzhi has to be cautious.
Chen Yanzhi tried Xu Shilin's boxing technique.
Try his swordsmanship again.
Chen Yanzhi carved a wooden sword from a tree trunk. He threw the wooden sword to Xu Shilin and said, "Come, demonstrate your swordsmanship." ”
Xu Shilin held the hilt of the wooden sword, and the elegant bookish anger on his body suddenly disappeared, and the fierce sword intent emanated.
When Xu Shilin danced the wooden sword, Chen Yanzhi's eyes lit up: "The sword heart is clear!" Good. Shilin, your swordsmanship has become extraordinary. In terms of swordsmanship alone, being a master may not be your opponent right now. ”
The disciple's swordsmanship can be stronger than himself, Chen Yanzhi is very happy, really.
