Volume 1 The Boy Who Went Up and Down Chapter 25 Shen Wan
When Xu Changan said this, Ye Qianshu tried his best to control the twitching corners of his mouth.
Shen Wan suddenly felt that the sky was dark, and there was always only one thought in his head.
"I lost, I really lost. He bowed his head and half-knelt on the battlefield. He didn't seem to be able to feel the disregard of Ye Qianshu without using his eyes, the contempt of the people around him and the disdain of Xu Changan.
Those people were projected before their eyes like shadow puppets, and they saw their mockery, naked mockery.
If those people were in his fists at this time, they must have turned into powder, and even his nails were deeply sunk in the flesh.
At the age when he could remember, he was discouraged. After a year, his mother was left alone because of the judgment of poverty and the disregard of morality. Since then, he and his unfortunate family have become the talk of tea and dinner.
He also got a new name "Street Child." ”
The name was erased until he met the ranger surnamed Shen.
From that moment on, he decided to forget his name, to do his best in whatever he did, to do his best to get the best of whatever he wanted, even by any means.
That's why he went to the casino to steal money, and he learned a few swordsmanship to rob on the road. Probably it was done more secretively, and the ranger never found out.
In addition to leaving him some unknown martial arts, the ranger surnamed Shen only left him a legend of a sword immortal. Whenever a person stared at the starry sky, he thought that maybe the ranger who left without saying goodbye went to find the legendary sword fairy.
Shen Wan didn't come here to find that ranger, but he also wanted to become a sword immortal, and he wanted to have the ability to control life and death with one thought.
But now, all this seems to be far away, far away from me. He is still farther away than his mother, who has not been heard from for more than ten years.
Ye Qianshu shook his head, he could feel the desolation that Shen Wan emanated.
People who stay in the dust for a long time tend to be more proud and have a harder time accepting failure. Because they tend to work harder, but they are still in the dust. This is not a story in the schoolchildren's initiation curriculum, never has been, but a naked reality.
Efforts do not necessarily lead to good results.
Ye Qianshu glanced at Xu Changan, who was secretly smug, and suddenly didn't know whether he was right or wrong to help him cheat.
Ye Qianshu could see at a glance that Xu Changan had been refining his body recently, and it was most likely taught by that senior, and he also knew that even the most talented person could not have combat experience in just a few days, especially the combat experience between cultivators.
Of course, Ye Qianshu could also sense the iron plates on Xu Changan's limbs and torso.
Because of this, he proposed this retry rule that seemed unfair to Xu Changan, but in fact, not fighting back just covered up Xu Changan's dilemma that he couldn't make a move, and it could also play the role of an iron plate on his body.
And the rules of using wooden swords also happened to fulfill Xu Changan.
If you use an iron sword, you really can't imagine how many holes Xu Changan will have.
It's just that Shen Wan didn't know that his failure was not beyond the reach of manpower, but because of people's calculations.
Ye Qianshu looked at Shen Wan like this and began to doubt himself.
However, hard work may not lead to good results, but no effort will definitely not lead to good results.
When the bell in front of the Diving Hall rang three times, it also heralded the end of this assessment, and it also foreshadowed one thing. Xu Chang'an, leader!
As the sun fell, the disciples who did not pass the assessment sighed and packed their things to return to their hometowns. And the twenty new disciples who passed the assessment, except for Xu Changan and Shen Wan, were all happily looking for their new residence in Shushan.
The three words Xu Changan were imprinted into Shen Wan's mind.
At the same time, there was also a mantra that the ranger surnamed Shen left in his mind.
As night fell, a glimmer of red glinted in his eyes.
Xu Changan returned to the library full of tiredness.
The lame man's face was not good-looking, and I don't know if it was because of the alcohol.
"Take it off!"
The cripple had never been so severe, and his expression was not so serious.
Xu Changan didn't know why the cripple was angry, but he honestly took off the iron plate on his body, and the iron plate fell off, and he was suddenly extremely relaxed.
The lame man picked up the rattan, and a rattan hit Xu Changan's body.
The pain on his body was scorching, and Xu Changan subconsciously hid.
"If you hide any more, you won't have it anymore. ”
Xu Changan could only grit his teeth tightly, the rattan was prepared for a long time by the lame, and it was still stained with salt water.
The first whip didn't feel anything except pain, and when the second whip went down, salt water seeped into the wound, and Xu Changan's face immediately turned pale.
The cripple sighed, and the raised rattan did not hit himself.
"Do you know why I hit you?"
Xu Changan shook his head.
"Cultivators, what they fight for is heaven and earth, what they fight for is the sun, moon and stars, and what they fight for is also one breath. But the sword is like a man, and he should be upright, even if he is defeated, he must not steal and play tricks. ”
Xu Changan reacted immediately.
"The disciple knows his mistake. ”
"This is a mistake. Second, if we do not use force to win, and in the face of unfair rules, we dare not speak out, so how can we have the courage to act chivalrous and righteous in the future? This is also the second mistake. ”
Xu Changan buried his head.
The lame man looked at Xu Changan, as if he saw himself at the beginning.
"This third mistake is in the ......"
"Correct their mistakes and move forward, even if you do something wrong for the teacher, you have to draw your sword and do it right. Kuang supports the right path of the world, although he dies without regret, although there are heavy mountains and cannot stop his will. The lame man suddenly remembered these words, and the scene of the master falling into the abyss appeared again, and he dropped the rattan.
"Forget it, he is a miscellaneous servant, how can he question the great disciple of Shushan. The lame man threw the rattan away.
Limped away.
For Xu Changan, the impact of the identity of the outer disciple of Shushan on his life is only that the place where he usually cultivates has become a hidden learning hall, and he still returns to the dining room and the library pavilion as usual.
It's the same as what the first lesson teaches about respecting teachers and respecting teachers, etiquette and filial piety. The first lesson of the outer disciples of Shushan is also based on cultivating the mind.
"What are you living for?"
"What is the purpose of the practice?"
"Shen Wan, you can answer. Shen Wan, who was in a daze, was shocked, he didn't hear anything asked just now.
Looking at the sneering Mr. Instructor on the stage, the junior disciples around him reminded Shen Wan in a low voice.
Shen Wan thought for a while: "Living is to fight, and cultivation is also to fight. Living for fame, fortune, power, and sex, and practicing for the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, eternal and eternal. ”
Chen Cheng's face suddenly changed and he shouted: "Cultivation is to support the right path, to prevent evil, and to give the people of the world a peaceful world, this is our mission of Shushan, and it is also the mission of your cultivation! In the face of evil, neither humble nor arrogant, although death is not weaker than the devil, this is the backbone of our Shushan cultivators! Not for any fame, fortune and power." ”
"You remember me!"
As soon as the words were finished, the audience applauded. Shen Wan was like an isolated island, coldly watching this full of applause.
Xu Changan also applauded, but the applause seemed to be half a beat slower.
Chen Cheng looked at everyone's reaction and was very satisfied.
"Do you understand!" Chen Cheng suddenly shouted at Shen Wan.
"Disciple...... I don't understand. Shen Wan then asked, "If one day, the Demon Dao is destroyed, will Mr. and everyone here be willing to abolish their mana and become an ordinary person again?"
The audience suddenly fell silent.
Chen Cheng was about to have a seizure, but when the big bell rang, Chen Cheng dropped the bamboo slip in his hand and shook his head away.
The surrounding disciples all looked at Shen Wan like idiots, avoiding him like a plague god.
Except for Xu Changan.
He suddenly felt that Shen Wan was also a little cute, although he wasn't practicing for anything. But he didn't want to be a great sword immortal with the dream of helping the world from the bottom of his heart, he was just an ordinary person.
