Chapter 9: Ten Steps to Resist the Wind
The wind on the mountain has a hint of the warm breath unique to summer, and it makes people sweat unconsciously, and this year's summer seems to have come very early, and it is only April at this time, and it is already hot.
And the fact is just as Xiaoyue expected, in the next few days, Lone Star worked hard, and never stopped for a moment, this tenacity has far surpassed that of ordinary children and even martial arts people, even if her vision is as high as her Xiaoyue, she can't help but say "Okay!"
The days passed like this, Lone Star soberly remembered, this is already the thirty-fifth day of his own practice of footwork, these thirty-five days, even if he is sleeping, he has not been idle, his toes have almost been worn through by sharp stones, of course, the effort is also rewarded, and now try to concentrate the internal force on the toes, almost as long as the mind moves.
"It seems that it is still a little worse than what Sister Xiaoyue said. No, we have to work harder. ”
Lone Star secretly cheered up, and was about to get out of the hole, but heard Xiaoyue say: "Idiot, you have been practicing for a month, how have you ever felt?"
"Feelings? ”
"Oh, do you think you can just run like you do?"
Xiao Yue turned around and said with a serious face: "I can tell you very responsibly, you are not even a beginner now." ”
Lone Star was silent for a while when he heard this, and when Xiao Yue saw him like this, she thought that he had given up on himself, so she hurriedly comforted: "However, don't be discouraged, you have done a good job......"
"Haha......"
Before he finished speaking, Lone Star suddenly raised his head and laughed, laughing inexplicably, and the blazing heat in his eyes suddenly confused Xiao Yue.
"Who said I was disappointed, if this footwork was really as I thought, I would be disappointed, and now, isn't it good? The more difficult it is, the more extraordinary it is, that's what I want, isn't it?"
Xiao Yue was stunned for a moment, and suddenly couldn't tell what mood it was, she thought that she already knew this nerd very well, but she didn't expect to underestimate him, thinking of this, she couldn't help but say a little distractedly: "I really don't know what kind of old man can teach you to be such a person who doesn't admit defeat, I think if he knows underground, he will definitely be able to look away." ”
Lone Star couldn't hear what Xiao Yue was really feeling, but he just smiled lightly and said, "I don't know if grandpa will feel happy for me, but I just need to know that grandpa is full of admiration from beginning to end, it's enough!"
"Well, I am full of admiration for the old man as much as you do, so I think that you, who have poured all his expectations into it, will never give up easily. ”
"Naturally not!" Lone Star said with a firm expression.
"That's good. ”
Speaking of this, Xiaoyue paused slightly, and then continued: "In the past month, I have seen your performance, and I have indeed worked hard, but hard work alone is far from enough, there are many people in this world who work hard, but not everyone can go on strongly, and if you want to smile all the way to the end, it is indispensable for hard work and understanding.
Lone Star didn't rush to reply, but clenched his fists and said seriously: "When Grandpa was here, he often said to me that many things seem to have only one result, but after trying, the result may change, and I haven't reached the point where I can only see one result, so I have no reason why I can't do it." ”
Xiao Yue listened to his words quietly, but didn't say anything more, just looked at the sky in the distance in a daze, but her eyes were full of emptiness that even she couldn't read, no one knew what she was thinking, and Lone Star couldn't guess, but he didn't ask, he vaguely felt that Sister Xiao Yue in front of him had a story, and her heart might not be as happy as her appearance.
Grandpa said that the more people hide, the most they are often hurt, and hiding is just an instinct for their self-preservation.
He didn't understand what his grandfather meant by saying this before, but now, he seemed to understand, but he was even more confused. He is not a person who likes to dig up others*, especially if the object is still Sister Xiaoyue, so he chose to be silent and stood quietly with her.
When the sunlight finally passed through this shade, Xiao Yue also came to her senses, but she disappeared in an instant, leaving only a sentence that made the second monk of Lone Star puzzled.
"Come like the wind, go like the wind, after all, it is not the wind, if you resist the wind because of the wind, the wind will fall silently. ”
Lone Star repeatedly recited this sentence that Sister Xiaoyue left when she left a similar mantra but it was not a mantra, and he couldn't figure it out, the reason why he didn't ask for an understanding was because he knew that the answer was in this sentence, and everything was just as Satsuki said, practicing the exercises well, hard work alone is not enough, the key is still to understand the word.
Immediately, he sat up straight, but his mind was running rapidly: "Since it is called the wind, is it necessary to use the power of the wind to practice, but why is it not the wind? If it is not the wind, then what is it? borrowing the wind, resisting the wind, resisting the wind, borrowing the wind, borrowing the wind......"
Lone Star pondered these questions repeatedly, only to feel as if something was about to take shape in his head.
"Slow, does this mean that you have to use the power of the wind to cultivate, but after all, it's not the wind? That is, you can't really be like the wind. ”
"Why can't it be the same as the wind?"
Lone Star sat on the ground, puzzled: "The wind, without shadow and formless, without roots and no source, is it not very good to be like the wind, but the wind also has no restrictions." ”
At this moment, a light breeze blew, and suddenly a few leaves were picked up and slowly floated in front of the eyes of the lone star.
Suddenly, Lone Star slapped his thigh and said, "By the way, the wind will always stop, but once the wind stops, you can't continue to resist the wind, so so..."
"So you can't stop the wind, but where do you have to go to find the wind that won't stop? ”
"Won't stop, won't stop......"
Suddenly, Lone Star seemed to think of something......
"Grandpa, grandpa, why is it windy?"
"Because there's so much dirt in the world, someone blew it away. ”
"There is so much dust in this world, so why doesn't he keep blowing it, why does he have to stop?"
"Silly boy, no matter how long the breath is, there will be a time when the wind will be blown, and when the blow is over, the wind will naturally stop. ”
......
"No matter how long the breath is, there will be a time when the blow is finished......"
Lone Star muttered to the words that the old man had said, and his eyes were slightly red: "Grandpa, I understand." ”
"It doesn't matter if it's the wind, it's just the flowing qi, and when the surrounding qi is chaotic, the wind will also exist. ”
Thinking of this, Lone Star couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "When I don't understand, I feel that I can't understand anything, but once I understand, I become understandable, the truth is always so willing to be ordinary, so that people will miss it again and again, and pursue it again and again." ”
Immediately shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Really, why do you want to do so much for no reason." ”
"There is no trace of the wind, but this wind can be offset according to the trajectory of its own force, so as long as I step on the first step, I can use the force of the first step to step on the second step, and so on, the third step ......"
As he spoke, he moved and stepped on a spun step. “
"No, it's too slow, come again"
"I haven't kept up again, I have to go faster"
"No, come again"
"Come Again"
......
In this way, Lone Star kept repeating what he had just done, once, twice......
Finally, after he repeated it for the fifteenth time, he finally succeeded in taking the second step, then the third, and then the fourth......
I don't know how long it took, but it wasn't until it was already dark that Lone Star stopped.
"We're almost ready to step on the tenth step......"
Lone Star rubbed his ankles, which were unusually white because of the loss of strength, and said a little overwhelmed: "Sure enough, no matter how clear the theory is, the body can't keep up." ”
With that, he fell headlong to the ground, and there was no other strength, only his faint gasps remained.
And on the branch not far from him, a graceful figure was watching all this from beginning to end, until Lone Star fell to the ground, and then slowly lowered his eyes, and said in a somewhat surprised tone: "Is it already the tenth step......?
Then he lost his voice, and lay down on the tree as if he had fallen asleep
