Chapter 11 Lessons Learned
Today's weather is good, and the starry sky is full of stars, like the Milky Way hanging upside down in the sky for nine days, which makes people dizzy.
Although the scenery is beautiful, no one appreciates it. After the day's events, Xia Yuan's faces were not very good. almost got into a fight for no reason because of something inconsequential, that's really called an injustice.
Xia Yuan sat by the fire, his eyes looking at the fire, stunned. I don't know what I'm thinking. Seeing this, Xia Shi and Xia Tu silently did chores on the side, and did not bother Xia Yuan. The two of them had seen this situation before, and they knew that this was the situation when Xia Yuan thought about the major issue again.
After about half an hour, Xia Yuan seemed to have figured out something and slowly came back to his senses. He called Xia Shi and Xia Tu to his side, and said solemnly: "You have also experienced today's events, tell me what you think." ”
"We are still careless, the rivers and lakes in the martial arts are more dangerous than we imagined, and we will start to move if we don't agree with each other. We have no experience with people in the martial arts. Xia Shi said with a solemn face. "Today was a good lesson. ”
Xia Tu also spoke: "Also, we are not vigilant enough, when we found out that it was a misunderstanding, we relaxed our guard, if that person suddenly made a move at that time, I am afraid that one of us will die today." Xia Tu's face was also full of seriousness, and there was no usual frivolity at all. "Also, I didn't pay attention to my surroundings. Yu Fu said that when walking the rivers and lakes, you must see the six roads and listen to the eight directions. The enemy will strike at any moment from places we don't expect. ”
This is the real Xia Tu, clever but calm. People who can roll on the rivers and lakes since childhood, but survive, even if they have two brothers to take care of them, are not so simple. The reason why the three of them made mistakes one after another today is that the three of them have not yet changed from the mentality of ordinary people, and brought the experience of ordinary people in the past to the rivers and lakes in the martial arts. These are two very different worlds. Fortunately, the three of them understood quickly, otherwise, there would definitely be a place for them in the mass grave.
Xia Yuan nodded in agreement, and said coldly: "You still missed a problem, that is, we haven't killed anyone, and we are not bold enough." I heard Deacon Yu Fu say that the disciples of the Damen Sect would slaughter large living creatures such as cattle and sheep for a period of time before leaving the mountain to practice their courage, so that they would not be easily covered by blood, and they would not be too nervous when they saw blood. ”
Xia Yuan's tone was as cold as the cold wind, and the fire on the fire seemed to be much lowered. Xia Tu and the two were not moved at all. The three of them have been wandering since childhood, and the age they can live to the present is naturally not a fuel-efficient lamp. It is already commendable that the three of them can maintain their current mentality.
This is also one of the important reasons why the beggar gang lists them as ordinary disciples. The issue of mentality is related to the progress of a person's martial arts. Since reaching the Qi Cultivation Realm, the improvement of martial arts must keep up with the state of mind. If you can't keep up with your mood, you will go crazy. The danger of going mad has been mentioned before, so I won't mention it here. The development of mentality is a matter of mood. The mentality is distorted, and the mood naturally goes wrong.
Another important reason is also the mentality, but it is another thing. The origin of ordinary disciples is complicated, and without a detailed investigation, the beggar gang naturally does not dare to enter the gang. By the time ordinary disciples were qualified to be promoted to outer disciples, the beggar gang had already investigated clearly and observed for a long time, so they could use it with confidence.
"What the eldest young master means is that we will go into the mountains and see blood. Xia Shi used the wooden branch in his hand to stir the fire to make the fire burn more vigorously, and said flatly.
The firelight shone on his still honest face, and there was no fluctuation in his eyes.
"Yes, but we're not going to hunt those beasts. Let's go straight to those bandits, robbers. Xia Yuan said coldly. "We are now disciples of the Beggar Gang, and it is impossible to be the same as before. So where do you get the food, the clothes, and the food? It's not like you have to start with them. We are not yet formal sect disciples, and we don't have those sect benefits. ”
Speaking of this, Xia Yuan's voice paused for a while, and then continued to speak: "At the same time, we also have a good understanding of the fight between life and death, which may often be encountered in the future." Persimmon is naturally soft and pinched, I don't want to meet a strong enemy in the future, because of lack of experience and die. ”
Xia Tu nodded in agreement beside him, "What the eldest brother said is right, I think, just act like this." ”
Xia Yuan rolled his eyes and scolded with a smile: "I will only nod my head and tell me what suggestions do you have?"
"Suggestions?" Xia Tu glanced at Xia Shi with a grin, "Looking for Brother Dashi, he must have good suggestions." ”
"Begging for a beating, everything depends on Brother Dashi, what else do you want to do!" Xia Yuan raised his hand and was about to fight. Xia Tu hid behind Xia Shi with a "snort", and grimaced at Xia Yuan with a thief.
With Xia Shi on his side, Xia Yuan couldn't do it, so he could only say angrily: "Don't let me catch it if you have the ability, when the new account and the old account are counted together." ”
Xia Tu pursed his lips, not caring at all. My eldest brother thinks about a lot of things every day, how can he still remember these little things. Perhaps, after a while, the eldest brother will forget about it.
Not mentioning Xia Tu's little abacus in his heart, Xia Yuan asked solemnly: "Brother Dashi, tell me, what preparations do we need to make?"
Xia Shi began to think about this question when he heard that Xia Yuan was about to enter the mountain to strangle the bandits. Hearing Xia Yuan's inquiry, he replied unexpectedly: "Young Master, I think we only need to prepare some healing medicine, and be cautious." After all, we're here to exercise our guts and fighting experience. If you use stratagem to defeat the enemy, even if you defeat the bandits, there is no point in exercising. ”
"Well, I almost confused the original meaning. Xia Yuan patted his head and said to himself. "Our main purpose is to train troops, and it is incidental to collect money. Although it is also very important, the priority should not be confused, don't pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon. ”
Hearing the words coming out of Xia Yuan's mouth, Xia Shi just listened quietly on the side. He was used to the new terms that popped up from Xia Yuan's mouth from time to time. I don't understand it, but I don't know it.
Xia Yuan muttered to himself for a while before he reflected. But he was thick-skinned and didn't blush a bit, and continued with the topic just discussed.
"Brother Dashi, then do you know how many bandits there are around here, where are they, but there are clues?" Xia Yuan threw all the questions to Xia Shi without blushing. Who made Xia Shi the best at intelligence analysis among the three of them. I can always get the information I need from other people's conversations. When he was young, he and others were repeatedly successful, and Xia Shi contributed a lot.
This is called knowing people and making good use of them, and making the best use of their talents. Everyone has what they are good at and what they are not good at. Xia Yuan made excuses for his laziness.
