Chapter 61: A Teenager Wants to Travel Far Away (1)
"You, hey. Gao Yuanshan knew Su Mu's character too well, and looking at his eyes at this time, he knew that this kid had already made up his mind in his heart.
Once Su Mu made up his mind, he really couldn't pull anything back. Just as when his meridians are destroyed, he must also stubbornly practice his sword regardless of everything.
"Mu'er, why are you so resistant to the position of the head of the sect? Could it be that the position of the head of the Cold Mountain Sword Sect really can't enter your eyes?" Gao Yuanshan was puzzled.
Obviously, when he announced three years ago that he would let Su Mulai take over as the next head, this kid hadn't shown such resistance, how could he become like this all of a sudden?
"Master, the disciple is not filial, which makes the master angry and bothered. Su Mubi bowed respectfully and said, "However, just as Master has a reason why he must let me take over as the head of the sect, I also have a reason that I can't accept it. ”
"What is the reason?, Mu'er, don't you have any feelings for the Cold Mountain Sword Sect?"
"No, Master, on the contrary, after returning here after three years, I realized that the Cold Mountain Sword Sect will always be a home-like existence for me, an existence that I care about all the time. Su Mu said seriously, "Every room and brick here, including the old tree in the back mountain, is often recalled by the disciples when they are in Butterfly Valley. ”
"Since you also have feelings for the Cold Mountain Sword Sect, why don't you want to take over the position of head of the sect?"
"Master, if you become the head of the sect, you naturally have to put the sect first in everything, and put the sect first, right?"
Gao Yuanshan nodded, "Of course. ”
"If you become the head of the sect, you must also give up small profits and chase big profits, and have the courage to contribute to the sect, right?"
Gao Yuanshan was silent, staring at the young man in front of him, with mixed feelings.
"Master, if you become the head of this sect, whether you want to or not, you will eventually put the sect above yourself, just like you. ”
"The disciple also saw a lot of people when he went out this time, a lot of things, all kinds of powerful masters, all kinds of strange sword moves that he had never seen before, and this. ”
Su Mu lifted the Taibai True Intent Box and stared at it to continue. Gao Yuanshan looked at Su Mu, as if he had guessed what he wanted to say.
"Master, the disciple has only been to the Butterfly Valley once, and in such a short journey, he has already seen so many incredible things. Whether it's swordsmanship, scenery, or people. ”
Speaking of which, all kinds of past events in Butterfly Valley, life with Aunt Yue, Aunt Lingxi's letter, and Ning Ning's face all unconsciously appeared in Su Mu's mind.
These wonderful things made the disciples feel very happy and fulfilled. Even if the disciple is now in the Cold Mountain, he still can't help but wonder, when will he be able to have such an experience again?"
"When you reach the age of sixteen, you can travel down the mountain, even if you take over as the head of the sect in the future, it will not affect you to see the people and things you want to see!" Su Mu's words were not at all unexpected by Gao Yuanshan, who almost couldn't wait to retort.
"No, Master, the disciple can't do it. Su Mu shook his head, "Looking at the master's appearance, the disciple knows that he can't do it." ”
"My appearance..."Gao Yuanshan couldn't help but turn his head to look at the mirrors placed in the room.
The self in the mirror is described as withered, with a haggard face, and the messy hair that was scattered during the earlier duel with Ruan Qishen has not even been dotted.
Is that so, this kid, who just doesn't want to be like me?
Su Mu looked at Gao Yuanshan's expression and probably understood what he was thinking, but he shook his head and said.
"No, Master, it's not that I don't want to be you, I just want to be myself. ”
"Whether it's the head of the Cold Mountain Sword Sect, or anything else, before I become those, I want to become Su Mu myself first. ”
"Be yourself?" Gao Yuanshan was suddenly stunned, not understanding what this thirteen-year-old child meant.
"Yes, Master. Be myself. ”
"That's why the disciple can't take over as the head of the house. The disciple's home will always be in the Hanshan Sword Sect, but I also long for a broader and freer world, Aunt Butterfly Fairy told me that the Tu Nan Kingdom is very vast, and the Dongzhou is even more vast, and the disciple really wants to take a look. ”
As he spoke, Su Mu remembered what the Butterfly Fairy had told him about the growing places of various medicinal herbs, the customs and customs of various ethnic groups in the Western Regions, and the magnificent scenery of various famous mountains and rivers.
On the way back to the sect with Chen Wu and Li Dabiao, Chen Wu had been introducing Luo Jing and Shang'an interesting people and things to Su Mu, and Li Dabiao also interjected from time to time those wonderful things in his military career, which also made Su Mu feel very interesting.
Su Mu didn't know before that the Oiran of Luoxue Tower could sing a beautiful song that would make a hundred birds come to see him, the Tibetan Academy of Hanlin Pavilion covered the martial arts of almost all the sects in the Tunan Kingdom, and the century-old wine of Hongchen Restaurant made countless celebrities forget to return.
Three years of Butterfly Valley, six days homecoming, one night drunk immortal residence.
In a subtle way, the young Su Mu has opened a new door in his heart.
The young man's mind is ever-changing, if he is like other disciples, he has been practicing swordsmanship in the cold mountains for eighteen years, perhaps it belongs to the young man's desire, that enthusiasm, and that curiosity have already been smoothed out by this monotonous reciprocation day after day.
But Su Mu is different, at the age when he is most curious and thirsty for the unknown, he got his own gift.
The destruction of the meridians once made Su Mu feel devastated, but now he was grateful for such an experience. Not only did it make him deeply feel the meaning of the sword to him, but it also allowed him to see a different scenery outside the sect at the most suitable age.
The heart is like a plain to put a horse, and it is difficult to chase it. Su Mu knew very well in his heart that he could no longer return to that simple cultivation life.
He also knew very well that in addition to the sword, the pursuit of natural scenery and the beauty of mountains and rivers in his heart had never disappeared, but had been silently hidden in his heart.
He wants to go to many different places, meet different people, see different landscapes, and see different starry skies.
However, Su Mu also knew in his heart that if he took over as the head of the sect, with his own character, he really couldn't do such a thing as leaving the sect to tour around the world.
Whether he is willing or not, he must take on the responsibility of revitalizing the sect and protecting the sect.
Su Mu was willing to throw away his head and spill his blood for the master and the Cold Mountain Sword Sect who raised him, but he was unwilling to spend a lot of time on this cold mountain.
Since his return this time, he has been brewing in his heart for the next trip. He felt as if something was stirring in his heart.
"So, Master, no matter when, as long as the Cold Mountain Sword Sect is in need, the disciple will definitely fulfill his due obligations and protect my family. However, the disciple really doesn't want to take on the heavy responsibility of being in charge, so he asks the master to consider it separately!"
Su Mu knew that his words would definitely hurt the dearest old man in front of him deeply, so he knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily.
