Chapter 10: Cherry Blossoms
The sun is half dew, and the glow is slightly faint! In a quiet courtyard, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom! Under the cherry blossom tree, an old man in simple and elegant clothes sits calmly on the side of the desk, and on the desk, among the jujube-red tea cups, the heat is curling up! The old man picked up the tea cup with two fingers, took a sip, squinted his eyes unconsciously and said softly: "Zen with tea, Zen is like the fragrance of tea"!
On the opposite side of Chiba Starlight sat a six- or seven-year-old child! Looking at his grandfather with great interest, enjoying the fragrance of tea with an intoxicated expression!
The old man stretched out his right hand exquisitely, as if inviting a friend with status, and issued an invitation to the strong wind of Chiba!
"Delicious"!
"Oh, I guess the strong wind often drinks"!
"Well, my father used to drink it, and he wanted me to drink it with him! It tasted the same as the tea my grandfather drank!"
Chiba Starlight just nodded kindly, and then calmly added a little tea to his tea cup and took a thoughtful sip!
The sun rises in the east, breaking through the sky, the auspicious light shines in the sky, and everything is fresh!
"Grandpa! The sun has broken through the sky, please teach me how to use the sword!"
"Please put down your knife first!" Chiba Starlight said gently.
Then he got up leisurely, walked into the cherry blossoms, picked one up, put it between his noses, took a breath like chewing, and had a long sigh of relief that was intoxicating, and said softly: "Practice the 'knife technique', what is the knife technique!
"What is the 'method' of the knife? Where is the destination of the knife?" Chiba scratched his head, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
The old man walked from the side of the cherry blossoms to the table, sat cross-legged and meditated, respectful and polite!
"Delicious"!
"How does it taste"!
"It's still that smell"!
"Hahaha! Or that taste! Perhaps, you haven't figured it out?"
"Ahh Chiba Strong Wind was sluggish for a while, and after all, he didn't know what he wanted to say, but he smiled embarrassedly at his grandfather!
The old man stood up, walked respectfully and politely to the cherry blossoms, looked at the cherry blossoms of a tree with a respectful expression, and said respectfully: "Strong wind, look! Cherry blossoms! Born handsome, self-confident and high-spirited, adopting the morning light, shining brightly! Standing on the side of the cherry blossoms, I know what the 'method' of the knife is!"
"Sakura"?
"Naturally handsome, confident and high-spirited, adopt the morning sun, shine brightly!
Chiba Jinfeng suddenly realized, but this is the fate of the sword!
Sakura, after all, has been reaching the pinnacle of beauty all her life!
"Don't be harmed, but compete for power! Sakura, after all, has been reaching the pinnacle of beauty all her life!" Chiba Jinfeng followed his grandfather's words and read silently.
"This is where the knife ends"!
"This is where the knife ends"!
"Now, it's time to pick up your knife"!
Chiba Jinfeng picked up the knife, looked at it seriously, felt it carefully, and in an instant, he suddenly felt that the knife in his hand was so strange and heavy!
"Knife, so heavy"!
"Then let him lighten up"!
Chiba Starlight respectfully put down the teacup in his hand, dipped his ring finger in the teacup, and flicked it into the air, and a drop of tea came out like rain!
"Listen"!
Chiba Starlight leaps up with a knife and slashes with a sword!
Chiba strong wind listens closely! The sharp blade cuts through the air, and the sound is like silk! Rising from the tip, jumping up! Suddenly touching the water, the ice of the water washes the warm and soft ears of the sound of restless jumping!
Chiba Starlight aimed at that drop of tea, a 'well' slash!
I only heard the sound of four knife swings, and I saw Chiba Starlight holding the knife horizontally, across the front of Chiba strong wind!
"Ahh
"The knife is very heavy! But life is always like thunder, rumbling and falling! Five thunders are thundering, who can withstand it! At this time, you must pick up the knife in your hand and split it into nine petals! Then let it bloom on the tip of your knife like a flower"!
Chiba Jinfeng once again lifted the knife in his hand, this time, the knife was no longer heavy, but a heavy!
"Cut life into nine petals and let it bloom like a flower on the tip of my knife"!
"Teachable"!
"However, how can I be like my grandfather and have the power to split my life into nine petals"!
"If you know what the 'law' of the knife is, then use the knife to imitate it"!
"How to emulate"!
"Drink tea"!
"Drinking tea"?
"Tea Zen taste, drink tea with your heart, experience with your heart! Observe and feel in the cultivation of 'peace and quiet'! To experience the lightness of the knife and the weight of the knife"!
"Observe, experience"!
"So, your next homework is to enjoy the cherry blossoms and watch the sword!" Chiba Starlight looked at the loss in Chiba Jinfeng's eyes, and smiled: "Jinfeng, don't be lost. Grandpa doesn't teach you knife techniques by hand, because of your talent! Your talent overshadows your grandfather a lot, so you can't follow grandpa's path! You need to have your own way, a way of your own knife technique! Grandpa believes that your knife technique is incomparably outstanding! If I teach you knife skills by hand, in fact, I just design a barrier on the road of your talent! Do you know why grandpa named you 'Strong Wind'"!
Chiba Mighty Wind stares at Chiba Starlight, waiting eagerly for Grandpa's answer!
"In a few days, you will be able to see such a scene: the strong wind blows, the cherry blossoms fall! Flying all over the sky, magnificent and vast! Exhaustive study of the fragrance, a brilliant life, chic with the wind, no stumbling! I hope that one day, the strong wind, you can appreciate a more outstanding knife technique, that is, grandpa will be like cherry blossoms, with the wind, no regrets, no nostalgia"!
"But"?
"This is grandpa's wish!
Chiba Jinfeng smiled, and smiled knowingly! He looked up at the sky!
The stars are shining, and the crescent moon is a thread!
"Grandpa, tonight is full of stars, perhaps, this is the heavens' attachment to you"!
Chiba Starlight sat on the edge of the grave, holding a cherry blossom in his hand, and planted it in front of his grandfather's grave!
"How is the schoolwork, have you realized the direction of the improvement of the sword technique from the cherry blossoms"!
"Well, I think I'm even more powerful! Because I've realized the realm of swordsmanship!"
"Ahh
"I wrote this realm into a poem, please grandpa appreciate it"!
"Please"!
"Enjoy the soul of flowers in the morning, look at the flowers at noon, look at the flowers at dusk, read the flowers in the middle of the night!
"Good poetry, good poetry"!
"Grandpa, I see"!
"Oh, tell me"!
"Like appreciating flowers, the knife technique is also divided into knife posture, knife heart, knife spirit, knife soul, and knife god! Grandpa didn't teach me hand-in-hand, because he didn't want me to be obsessed with the knife posture, but wanted me to comprehend the knife god!
Chiba Starlight is silent for a moment!
"Grandpa, why don't you speak"!
"There is no need to say silently, grandparents and grandchildren are silent"!
The night is getting darker, the dew is getting thicker, and the strong wind of the thousand leaves sits alone on the side of the desk, lights the bonfire, and hangs the small clay pot!
Chiba Breeze gently lifted the teacup, the first cup, to his grandfather!The second cup, to the West Xinjiang, the third cup, Chiba Breeze took a sip, full of melancholy!
"An inch of time, a case of narration! What a wonderful artistic conception this is! An inch of mind, what a despicable life"!
"Grandpa, what makes you so sad and frustrated"!
"Maybe the vast and boundless place can broaden a person's horizons and strength! Strong wind, go to Zhongzhou, go to Wuxiang Temple, look for the master of flowers and leaves, or go to Sun Moon Lake, look for a flower and six petals! Then, settle in Zhongzhou! No, no, no! I can't make a decision for you"!
"Grandpa, what's wrong"!
"Grandpa asks you, if the Western Xinjiang falls into the hands of the shadow knife, and he makes the knife in your hand heavy, where will you go?
"How did Grandpa forget, the sword technique of the strong wind starts from the understanding of the cherry blossoms, and the cherry blossoms are the gods, souls, and spirits of the strong wind knife technique!
"What would you do if Shadow Blade ordered you to reach an innocent person in the neck with a knife"!
"Swear to the death"!
The night deepened, and Chiba Qiangfeng put down the tea cup in his hand and fell into a bleak silence!
In a moment, he picked up the knife in his hand and waved it respectfully at his grandfather's grave!
"Grandpa and all the masters were summoned, and they rescued Ying Shi, even if they didn't return, they should give a letter, and there wouldn't be any danger, right?"
"Isn't this Chiba Strongwind" Feng Yun listened to the graceful steps, approached Chiba Strongwind, stroked Chiba Strongwind's chest and said: "The Lord of the Western Frontier is summoned with a knife, please come with me"!
The charm is really very, and it makes it difficult for people to panic! Chiba strong wind follows, but the heart is always uneasy!
"See the Lord of the Western Frontier"! Chiba Wind was brought into a grotto!
In the grotto, the cave is on the top of the cave! Therefore, it is not gloomy! It's just that why there are so many people in the grotto, all of them are people of all ethnic groups in Western Xinjiang! Why, why are several of my friends depressed!
"Chiba Strongwind, the head of the seven sons of one star, the grandson of Chiba Starlight! He is also the successor of Chiba Starlight himself, and he is really extraordinary!" The voice rumbled! I saw that in front of the grotto, on the stone chair, there was a high-spirited shadow knife!
