Chapter 146: Enlightening Sun Tzu

"Really...... Is there really such an evil sect? ”

In the midst of the dead silence, one of Liu Qingfeng's aunts asked a question common to all the elders.

Although this group of aunts and elders are also sword cultivators, they are more than one level behind Liu Qingfeng in terms of talent, otherwise the entire family would not be able to tilt all their resources on Liu Qingfeng alone.

For these elders with mediocre qualifications, they naturally don't understand very well, obviously their nephews have such strong talent and strength, as well as psychological quality far beyond their peers.

But he would be frightened by the look of Li Yu, a nobody.

As a result, without waiting for Liu Qingfeng to answer, this aunt was blinded by Liu Baihe.

Liu Baihe glared at the other party and said, "What do you know!?" ”

It seems that among the people present, only a sword cultivator like Liu Baihe, who has reached the level of a sword saint, can understand Liu Qingfeng's behavior.

Seeing that although everyone was silent, there was still confusion in their eyes, Liu Baihe had no choice but to explain: "The so-called sword cultivation is about two things. ”

"One is external, sword skills."

"One is internal, sword intent."

"Sword skills are easy to learn, you just need to constantly hone your skills, and you know the sword well, and your strength will naturally increase."

"However, the sword intent is only internal, and it can only be relied on to realize."

Speaking of this, Liu Baihe couldn't help but sigh and said: "A simple comprehension word, but it stumped most of the sentient beings. ”

"If you want to understand the so-called sword intent, you don't just rely on hard work, you have to be talented."

"And talent is such a thing, you can only look at the will of heaven, and you can't force it."

Liu Baihe looked at the children behind him, and said with a hint of regret in his words: "So that's why, you have obviously learned the Liu family's swordsmanship for decades, but you still can't feel the sword intent. ”

"Actually, it's just that your talent is not enough."

Saying that, Liu Baihe's gaze couldn't help but fall on his grandson again, which was completely different from the eyes he looked at his children, and he was full of relief: "And Qingfeng is talented." ”

"The old man studied hard for thirty years to realize the sword intent, but Qingfeng was able to feel the existence of the sword intent last year."

"That's the talent gap."

As soon as these words came out, the children of the Liu family hung their heads one after another, and for a while it was impossible to see whether they were ashamed or resentful.

One of the uncles glanced at Liu Qingfeng with a complicated expression, and then flattered with a strange smile: "Hahaha, father, what you taught you is." ”

"After all, Qingfeng is the child with the highest talent in the entire Dahua Sword Cultivation."

"Not anymore!" Liu Baihe said coldly, with a trace of anger and unwillingness between his eyebrows: "Now, the child named Li Yu with the highest talent in sword cultivation should be the one named Li Yu." ”

"That's it...... Is that the Li Yu who fought against Feng'er? The eyes of the elders behind him widened in disbelief.

They began to secretly observe Liu Qingfeng's reaction after hearing this.

At this moment, Liu Qingfeng hung his head slightly, although there was a little loneliness in his eyes, he did not show any dissatisfaction with his grandfather's evaluation.

Seeing Liu Qingfeng's expression now, no matter how surprised these elders were, it seemed that they could only accept the reality at this moment.

After all, with Liu Qingfeng's unruly temperament, how could he allow his peers to stand taller than him.

However, this time, instead of refuting the old man, he lowered his head and acquiesced.

Obviously, in this game, although their group of untalented laymen did not see the way, for Liu Qingfeng and Liu Baihe, they were convinced.

Liu Baihe glanced at his grandson who was chasing his head and asked, "Qingfeng, tell your grandfather what kind of feeling you felt in your heart after seeing his eyes at that time." ”

Although Liu Baihe also knows that this fight will cause great damage to his grandson.

Now to let him recall the most painful experience at that time, it is undoubtedly another torture for his grandson.

Geniuses are always proud, and Liu Qingfeng has been so smooth sailing for the past twenty years, and has always stood at the top of the pyramid.

Now a little-known peer appeared in the sky, and he was completely crushed with the same sword cultivation.

But Liu Baihe also knew that if he didn't guide his grandson in time at this moment and re-establish his self-esteem, I am afraid that this matter would either become a demon in his future cultivation.

Either it is to directly destroy his grandson's Dao heart, so that he will not dare to pick up a sword again in his life.

Liu Qingfeng opened his mouth to describe: "The moment he opened his eyes, I felt like I saw a mountain. ”

"A mountain that I could not climb over was in front of me."

"It makes me feel like no matter how hard I try, I can't do it the slightest damage."

"It makes me feel like a monkey when I just draw my sword."

Liu Baihe frowned and said, "Monkey? ”

"Yes!" Liu Qingfeng shook his head: "I don't know why I feel this way. ”

"It's as if I'm like a monkey jumping off the mountain, bouncing in front of the mountain."

Speaking of this, Liu Qingfeng's tone was obviously a little more trembling: "There is no trace of murder in his eyes, but he is quite soft and calm, but there is a kind of heaviness that cannot be shaken." ”

"It made me feel a little degraded in front of him."

Hearing this, Liu Baihe's expression also became a little dignified.

At this moment, his mind kept echoing a word that Liu Qingfeng said: heavy.

Heavy eyes?

He really didn't expect that his grandson would use such a word to describe the eyes of the enemy.

You must know that a person who cultivates a sword, whether it is from the outside or from the inside, if the sword is cultivated to a certain extent, it will make the individual's temperament become fierce.

This is determined by the spiritual root attribute of the sword itself.

Just as the wood spirit root represents life, the earth spirit root represents calmness, the water spirit root represents agility and softness, the fire spirit root represents the restless nature, and the gold spirit root represents killing and fierceness.

As the so-called Tao is natural, if you cultivate a door, you have to follow the natural attributes of this door.

The more focused and specialized the cultivation of one attribute is, the more one's temperament will inevitably be affected by this attribute.

But no matter how you think about it, it is impossible to associate it with sword cultivation, let alone with the sword intent that can only be realized after sword cultivation is mastered.

The strange thing about this is that Rao is the first sword cultivator of Huada like Liu Baihe, and he is also unclear at the moment.

I'm afraid that Liu Baihe can't think of it even if he wants to break his head, Li Yu's sword cultivation is fundamentally different from their traditional sword cultivation.

Traditional sword cultivation requires the cultivation and polishing of sword skills and mental techniques.

What is required is to be sharp and killing.

And what Cui Jiansan taught to Li Yu, on the surface, it seems that he is also spending time polishing Li Yu's swordsmanship, but in essence, he is teaching Li Yu to precipitate his heart.

Under Cui Jiansan's tutelage, Li Yu has been precipitating for decades day after day, although his strength and realm have not been greatly improved.

However, his heart has already precipitated to an incredible realm, and the sword cultivation of such a heart, the sword intent that bursts out from his eyes alone is enough for Liu Qingfeng to see the gap between himself and Li Yu.

And this is the so-called 'heavy' in Liu Qingfeng's eyes when he sees Li Yu.

However, thinking about Li Yu's matter at this moment is not the most important thing, the important thing is to resolve the psychological trauma that Liu Qingfeng suffered at the moment.

Liu Baihe slowly stretched his brows, and asked Liu Qingfeng in the gentlest tone possible: "Feng'er, if you really have a life-and-death fight with the other party now, who do you think should survive in the end?" ”

Liu Qingfeng replied without hesitation: "It's definitely him." ”

Although he was arrogant, in the face of the huge gap, Liu Qingfeng still chose to accept the reality, and he continued to add: "If it is really a life-and-death fight, I don't have the slightest chance of living in front of him." ”

Seeing that his grandson was able to recognize the reality even in the face of such a huge setback, Liu Baihe also showed a relieved smile on his face.

"Very good, with such a state of mind, you are worthy of becoming a cultivator."

Liu Baihe continued to enlighten: "To be honest, when I knew that you were defeated, grandpa was more happy than a little regret in his heart. ”

"For ...... Why? Liu Qingfeng had an expression of disbelief on his face.

He really couldn't understand why his grandfather asked him to be the first in everything on weekdays, but he lost the game this time, but he was secretly happy in his heart.

Liu Baihe smiled: "Because the road you have traveled before is too smooth." ”

"Who in the whole world has achieved something that has not jumped out of setbacks?"

"But think about it, you've been holding a sword since you were three years old, and you've ever tried to fail?"

"If you want to cultivate the true path and ascend to immortality, you must keep your state of mind round."

"If you want to maintain a full state of mind, you must taste all the sufferings of the world."

Liu Baihe slowly raised his cane and struck Liu Qingfeng's back hard.

The old man almost didn't spare his hand this time, and a sharp pain hit, almost making Liu Qingfeng faint directly.

Although he didn't understand why his grandfather was beating him, Liu Qingfeng still maintained a standing posture and endured it without saying a word.

"Do you know why I hit you?" Liu Baihe asked.

Liu Qingfeng shook his head.

"That's because I'm going to wake you up and let you know who you really are!" Liu Baihe suddenly raised his voice.

This sudden majestic voice even frightened the children behind him.

Liu Baihe said: "On the road of cultivation in the future, you must keep in mind. ”

"You Liu Qingfeng is Liu Qingfeng, the most promising sword cultivator of the Shushan Liu family, and the hope of our Shushan Liu family in the future!"

"These things can't be erased by the appearance of someone stronger than you."

"Remember what I said, there is always a mountain and a mountain high in the world, it is his business to be strong, you can't lose the courage to draw your sword because of this defeat."

"Got it!?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Qingfeng was in tears, and immediately prostrate on the ground, kowtowed heavily to Liu Baihe, and said hoarsely: "Grandson understands!" ”

"Very good," Liu Baihe nodded with a smile on his face, and then continued to speak: "Now the game is over. ”

"Just take this opportunity to have a good time in the imperial capital for a while, just take a long vacation for yourself."

"If there's nothing to do, go out and have a look now."

Liu Qingfeng got up, saluted and said goodbye to the elders, and then left the room.

After Liu Qingfeng left, the room fell silent again.

Although this group of children of the Liu family has a belly of things to say at the moment, but now the old man does not speak first, who dares to be the first to be presumptuous.

After a long silence, Liu Baihe sharpened the cane in his hand, squinted his eyes and said slowly: "What do you think about this matter?" ”

These words stunned everyone, their group of people themselves do not have much talent for cultivation, and all of them can have today's status, completely relying on the strength of the old man and the foundation of the Liu family, which has been inherited for more than a thousand years.

Seeing that no one dared to speak, a touch of helplessness and worry flashed in Liu Baihe's eyes, and he shook his head in disappointment and said, "Such a big thing has happened right now, but none of you dare to speak out." ”

"If I retreat in the future, or die directly, I really don't dare to trust the foundation of the Liu family to you."

But after all, these unsuccessful juniors are born and raised by themselves after all, and even if they don't become talented in the future, they still have to give out what they should give.

Liu Baihe could only open his mouth and teach: "In fact, the most troublesome thing in this matter is Feng'er's mentality. ”

For Liu Baihe, the energy and resources spent by the family in order to cultivate Liu Qingfeng for so many years are even worth all the foundations of dozens of small sects.

Now that Liu Qingfeng is on the right track, the old man must not let him be unable to cultivate because of his mentality.

After all, Liu Qingfeng is a rare sword cultivation genius in a thousand years, and he is the first person in the Liu family who is expected to soar now.

However, after the conversation just now, Liu Baihe also took a long breath, as if this game did not wear out his grandson's fighting spirit.

This can be regarded as the biggest stone in his heart to the ground.

Liu Baihe continued: "The good news is that Feng'er's mentality is far more tenacious than I imagined. ”

"He may be able to self-discipline very quickly, so that he can adjust his mentality."

Just when everyone's faces were about to relax, Liu Baihe suddenly changed his words: "But! ”

"The first problem is solved, so what about the second one?"

The crowd was stunned again.

Now there is a second question?

Looking at this group of juniors who know how to eat dry food, but have no brains at all, Liu Baihe can't wait to give them a crutch.

Liu Baihe said indignantly: "The second question! It's the Li Yu who defeated Feng'er! ”

"Do you think that such a young man who can easily crush our Feng'er in terms of sword intent, isn't he a big problem for our Liu Family Sword Sect?"
