Volume 1 The Journey Chapter 9 Before the Journey
The sun rises over the sea day after day.
Today, there is a little less porridge and less seafood. After eating a big bowl of porridge with more seafood than rice, Su Yu took the girl out of the door.
In the past two days, Su Yu obviously felt that the attitude of the people in the fishing village towards him had changed.
The day before yesterday, several fishermen, including the girl's father, heard that Su Yu was a cultivator that the immortals said.
Although they didn't understand what the immortals said, the villagers in the fishing village had already regarded Su Yu's identity as an immortal.
It's just that Su Yu doesn't like this identity very much.
There is a small forest on the coast, not far in front of the fishing village, and today Su Yu took the girl to the woods to cut down trees, because he wanted to make a weapon for himself.
Su Yu vaguely remembered that he had watched a TV series, in which the male protagonist used a wooden sword to break into the world, in retrospect, he was really handsome so chic!
Just yesterday, Su Yu read a lot of content in the book "The Initial Solution of Qi Source", but because the more he read it, the more he felt jerky and difficult to understand, so Su Yu couldn't finish reading the book.
Su Yu remembered that the book said that if the vitality is water, it is stored in all things in the world, and the source sea is a bucket, holding water in the middle.
The book also says that vitality is invisible, like a blade, extremely sharp, like fire, dissolved into water, like ice, and flame into frost...... Anyway, it's very powerful.
In fact, it is very easy to understand, that is, to store a kind of energy called vitality in the source sea of the human body.
Then, although the practitioner can perceive the vitality, the vitality is intangible, and various effects can be achieved through the practitioner's control and changes.
However, there is one thing in the book that makes Su Yu very unhappy, that is, the book says: Dengxian Road, although there are thousands, the way of the sword is still the way, the only way of the sword is good, and the snake and insect path are all the last way, and it is not enough.
Probably that is to say, kendo is the mainstream avenue of this era, but it does not tolerate other paths, believing that only by practicing kendo can there be a future, and everything else is the last way, and there is no future.
Su Yu didn't know whether he had the same scientific research attitude as his parents or simply rebellious thoughts, he felt that since he had become a so-called cultivator, he naturally had to take a different path.
In fact, Su Yu likes swords very much, very much, but he also likes knives very much, especially Tang knives, spears, and many other weapons.
As a boy, there is probably no one who doesn't like these weapons, because they are very handsome. When I used to watch TV, I saw those masters and heroes, those patriotic soldiers, dancing all kinds of swords, guns, swords, halberds, and chivalrous deeds to protect their families and defend the country.
"You said this is the last way, it's hard to make a big deal, huh? I'm going to give him a try!"
Holding a knife in his hand, Su Yu teased the girl while cutting a piece of wood with the knife.
The girl who likes to bounce is now wearing a pair of simple straw sandals, chasing a beautiful butterfly on the grass.
A piece of wood in the hands of Su Yu, who had a perfect score in the handicraft class, quickly became the appearance of a simple knife in the Chinese Tang Dynasty.
The blade of the knife is straight and even, and the blade is made according to a simple and practical design, as for the handle, Su Yu felt that it didn't need to be too long, so he shortened it a little and lengthened the blade.
According to Su Yu's estimate, the blade of the knife is about 75 centimeters, the handle is about 30 centimeters, and the total length is about 1 meter, which is also very long.
As for the scabbard......
Since the knife is a wooden knife, it doesn't matter if the scabbard is there or not, just wrap it in cloth when you go out. The most important thing is that it is too troublesome to make a scabbard, and Su Yu really doesn't want to waste time.
In fact, according to normal circumstances, even Su Yu would not be able to make a wooden knife so quickly, no matter how clever he was.
Because Su Yu followed the method of controlling qi mentioned in that book, the vitality in the source sea traveled through the meridians and was stimulated in the air pockets. This is very easy to understand! Su Yu can master this skill at once.
Therefore, the process of sharpening a wooden knife is a process of practice and cultivation for Su Yu, and it has also become very simple.
In the end, Su Yu used hemp grass to make a piece of hemp rope, and after splicing it together, he tightly tied the handle of the knife.
Looking at the wooden knife in his hand, which was still good-looking, Su Yu tried to wave it, and felt that it was not bad, but it was too light, and it didn't have that sharp feeling.
Su Yu tried to poke out the vitality from his right hand and slowly probed towards the wooden knife, because the wooden knife had no meridians, Su Yu could only slightly cover the vitality on the knife body, and the knife body was slightly covered with a white light, which was quite conspicuous in the shade of the tree.
The wooden knife in his hand swiped lightly, and a tree with a thick bowl fell to the ground obliquely, the incision was quite smooth, and such a thick tree could be cut off so lightly, this vitality was really magical, no wonder it was so painful when he opened the door of the Spirit Palace that day.
Su Yu, who was a little happy, put the knife back into the scabbard on his waist, carried the homemade wooden knife, and walked towards the girl.
The right hand picked up the girl who was chasing the butterfly, and the left hand holding the knife flicked lightly, and then walked towards the fishing village.
The butterflies that were originally fluttering in the air can only be seen at this time turning their beautiful wings into pieces of different sizes, fluttering in the air.
The girl saw that the butterflies had become scattered, and she furrowed her faint eyebrows, looking a little unhappy.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'm wrong?" Seeing that the girl was unhappy, Su Yu immediately admitted it.
"But the butterfly is gone?" said the girl in a milky voice, the tone was questioning, but the content did not seem to be questioning.
This gave Su Yu a little headache, Su Yu felt that sometimes the girl was as naïve and cute as a two- or three-year-old child, and sometimes she was so smart that she got the point out at once.
What else can I do? I can't change it back.
It's just that Su Yu didn't dare to say this to the girl, so he said with a distressed face: "That's it! It's gone, and I can't change it back! I promise, there will be no next time!"
The girl tilted her head slightly, looking at Su Yu, her clear and bright eyes were full of unhappiness, which made Su Yu feel so helpless.
All the way back to the fishing village, the girl kept staring at Su Yu, as if she wanted to stare at Su Yu's face as a flower or a butterfly.
"I've seen Su Guiren!"
At the entrance of the village, an old man and a middle-aged man were drying nets, and several women were weaving nets.
Two days ago, when Su Yu met everyone for the first time, they were obviously enthusiastic, but at this time, everyone didn't dare to get too close, as if there was a feeling of awe spreading in the fishing village.
Because Su Yu had not yet joined the sect, the fishermen did not call Su Yu an immortal, but honored him as a nobleman.
Su Yu wasn't used to it, but he didn't say anything, just nodded and continued to walk towards the fishing village.
Along the way, many fishermen would salute respectfully when they saw Su Yu, and Su Yu only nodded slightly as always.
In front of the house, the girl's father saw Su Yu and the girl coming back, and looked at Su Yu with a wooden knife in his hand, so he asked, "Baby, are you going to leave?"
In the opinion of the girl's father, if you want to stay in the village, the wooden knife will not be of much use, and since you have already stepped into the path of cultivation, you naturally have to go out for a walk, and it would be better if you could enter a sect.
Hearing the words of the girl's father, Su Yu felt that it was more comfortable like this, like other villagers, he really couldn't talk.
"Well, I'm a little confused and want to go out and have a look. Su Yu smiled and put down the girl in her arms.
As soon as the girl landed, she kicked off her straw sandals, and jumped up with her bare feet.
The girl's mother happened to go out of the door, and saw the girl jumping in, and habitually picked up the girl.
"Let's have a porridge first!"
Seeing Su Yu chatting with her husband, the girl said softly, and then carried the girl into the house.
The girl knew that the two of them had something to say again, and Su Yu's child's identity was already different at this time, so she didn't want to disturb the conversation between the two.
"If you don't know the place well, it's not easy to walk. The girl's father patted Su Yu on the shoulder, "I'll take you to the county seat tomorrow, there are horses to buy there, and I'll get you a real sword, it's not okay to rely on this piece of wood." ”
Hearing this, Su Yu shook his head: "Everyone hasn't fished these days, and the rice money is not enough, just send me to the county seat tomorrow, and you don't have to spend this." ”
"It's enough for the big guy to get together, I heard that the government has issued an official document, and you should be able to go to the sea tomorrow!" the girl's father smiled innocently.
"Okay, you can send me to the county seat tomorrow, and there is no need to say anything more, let's go eat first!"
Su Yu shook his head with a smile and walked into the house.
