Volume 1 There Are Fish in the North Chapter 9 Those Stars and Landscapes
After reading the scenery depicted in the book and going on a journey in person, there are two concepts, so when Li Fuyao really went from hearing about it to walking through it in person, he found more and more that this road was difficult, although he was a little psychologically prepared, he was also a little surprised.
Chen Sheng led him on the road of cultivation, to be precise, it belonged to a wrong path on that road, and the way of the sword was a rugged path in Chen Sheng's own eyes, so when he led Li Fuyao up, he didn't brag about it, but just told Li Fuyao that in the years to come, he would have a very difficult time on this road.
How difficult it is, in fact, it all depends on his own feelings, so Li Fuyao wisely did not ask this question.
Therefore, since Li Fuyao agreed to take that road, Chen Sheng has been embarrassing him. This middle-aged man, who usually looks very casual, seems very serious about teaching people to practice swords.
He asked the young man who never knew what sword practice was, and stabbed a thousand times in the courtyard on the first day, where could Li Fuyao's small arm swing a sword a thousand times a day, plus the wooden stick was really not light, so from early morning to dusk, it was only possible to stab six hundred swords, Chen Sheng didn't say anything, just stood under the eaves to see if the young man could finish stabbing the thousand swords.
Obviously, no.
Until the time of the child, the young man who was gritting his teeth and insisting did not finish stabbing the thousand swords, but fell straight down in the small courtyard, although he finally got up and continued to wave the sword in his hand, but no matter how you look at it, he has not been able to stab the thousand swords. Chen Sheng didn't speak, he just asked Li Fuyao to stab a thousand swords, he didn't say what would happen if he couldn't finish stabbing him, Li Fuyao didn't ask, he just tried his best to wave the sword in his hand.
One doesn't say, the other doesn't ask.
This pair of master and apprentice looks very weird.
As for the second day, Chen Sheng asked Li Fuyao to walk thousands of miles, which was obviously an unfinished task, but Li Fuyao still hung the wooden stick on his waist in the end, and walked alone, and when he walked to the son, it was only a hundred miles. Then the young man looked at the sky, and then turned his head back to the small courtyard, and he used it for a day and a night.
This day and night of non-stop walking, Li Fuyao's legs were as heavy as lead, but on the third day, he still appeared in the small courtyard.
Chen Sheng usually looks unserious, but when he really wants to teach Li Fuyao to practice swords, he is extremely silent, he just announces what Li Fuyao needs to do every day, as for whether he can do it or not, he doesn't care, and he doesn't say anything.
In this way, day by day, on the fifteenth day, Li Fuyao finally fell in the small courtyard and couldn't get up, so Chen Sheng finally picked up Li Fuyao, threw him on the bed, and fed him a black pill.
On the side of the bed, Chen Sheng touched Li Fuyao's limbs that had become stiff due to excessive movements, and he finally nodded, the swordsman between the mountains and rivers, the first thing he did when he got started was not to teach them how to use the sword, but to tell them a truth.
You can't stab a thousand swords on the first day, you can't walk 10,000 miles on the second day, and even within these fifteen days, nothing can be done in one day, which is not a shame, but it is the normal state that should have been, some things can't be completed in the first place, so what does it matter if you can't finish it?
The reason why Chen Sheng nodded was not that Li Fuyao finally fell, but that Li Fuyao did not stop doing it because he couldn't do it, but tried his best to complete these impossible things, and finally fell, which drained the last trace of energy.
With the word righteousness, Li Fuyao seems to have touched the threshold.
Try to do what you can, even if you can't.
This is the intention of the swordsman.
Li Fuyao didn't hear Chen Sheng tell him this truth, but when he opened his eyes and stood in the small courtyard with his sword again, he actually understood a lot.
Some things don't need to be explained.
Li Fuyao, who began to practice swordsmanship, suffered far more than that, if the previous fifteen days were Chen Sheng's thinking that he wanted him to understand a truth, the next month would be really a swordsman's difficult road ahead, little by little in front of Li Fuyao.
It is like a splendid picture, slowly unfolding.
But there is absolutely no comfort in the process.
As for these tortures, Li Fuyao soon forgot some other things, but during this period, Mr. Yan from the Yanling School Palace led the little girl to say goodbye, but Li Fuyao didn't have the energy to pay attention to it, but Chen Sheng looked at the little girl, thoughtfully, the little girl named Gu Yuan was also a little curious about Chen Sheng's identity as a swordsman, but in the end, he was led by Yan Yu to leave this place and return to the School Palace.
Li Fuyao began to be polished by Chen Sheng's sword qi.
Those extremely sharp sword qi invaded Li Fuyao's various points one by one, like a cow's fine needles, piercing his body one by one, this process made Li Fuyao realize what it means to be painful.
In addition, when he was eroded by these sword qi, Li Fuyao had to take the "sword" to the courtyard and stab it out, the piercing pain kept his brain clear at all times, but it also made it extremely difficult for him to stab every sword.
So much so that after only a few swords, he was already sweating profusely.
If this were an ordinary monk, he would never have been so hard at the beginning of his cultivation path, but Li Fuyao chose to practice swords, so he could only bear it silently.
He was so tortured that he didn't even have time to think about why he wanted to be that kind of stupid swordsman with only one sword in the mountains and rivers.
It wasn't until the second month, at the end of winter, when Li Fuyao no longer felt a little spring, that Li Fuyao slightly felt that the pain in his body was much lighter.
looked down at his hands and legs, and found that they were indeed much stronger than before, although he still looked thin, Li Fuyao always felt that he had changed a little.
Chen Sheng doesn't talk much these days, this man doesn't like to drink, but he talks a lot, but he doesn't talk to Li Fuyao, only talks a lot with Qinghuai, Li Fuyao honestly practices swords, occasionally at night, he and Qinghuai will sit under the eaves and watch the stars, I don't know if Chen Sheng likes it or not, but Li Fuyao must like it very much.
Occasionally, I will see the morning glow and sunset, but at such a time, it is far less beautiful than the morning glow and sunset in summer.
After the first three months of sword practice passed, Chen Sheng's words were more, he often talked to Li Fuyao about the things in the demon land in the north, and often told him about the things of the saints of the three sects, but the most talked about was the sword immortal.
Li Fuyao could hear that the sword immortal was the object he wanted to chase.
It's just that Li Fuyao, who has just set foot in the right intention, has been listening to him chatting for a while, most of the time he is actually meditating, he is looking at those insignificant qi in his spiritual mansion, and patiently guiding those qi into his meridians, hoping that one day he can drive this qi outside the body, at that time, all the qi will be turned into sword qi, and he will be the swordsman of this sword qi realm.
Chen Sheng said that only when he stepped into the sword qi realm could he be regarded as truly embarking on the path of the sword.
As for when Li Fuyao opened his mouth to ask how long it took him to step into the sword qi realm, Chen Sheng smiled proudly: "It only took one year. ”
According to Chen Sheng himself, he is a genius that is rare in this sword mountain in a hundred years, so it is normal to go so fast, but Li Fuyao doesn't know how talented he is in the way of the sword, so he doesn't know how much time he needs.
It's just that judging from the fact that he doesn't even have a sword now, it must be a little far away.
......
......
After another day of dusk, Li Fuyao, who had finished his schoolwork, sat on the steps under the eaves of his house, staring at the sunset a little distracted, Chen Sheng didn't know where to go, Qinghuai came to Li Fuyao and sat down, looking at this guy, Li Fuyao grinned and took the lead in asking: "I actually always want to ask you, your demon clan is actually not friendly with swordsmen, why do you want me to learn swords?"
Qinghuai said coldly: "I thought you should have figured it out." ”
Li Fuyao was a little surprised, "Could it be as true as I thought?"
Qinghuai nodded and sighed, "It's not like that, what else can it be?"
Li Fuyao was a little speechless, thinking to himself, it turns out that you are also such a pyrotechnic girl.
Qinghuai ignored him, just took out a green bead and threw it to Li Fuyao, "I said it before." ”
Li Fuyao took the demon pill and asked, "How do you use this?"
Qinghuai said flatly: "The easiest way is to eat it, but with your current realm, it is estimated that you will explode and die." ”
“......”
Li Fuyao didn't say anything, thinking that even if he didn't explode and die, he wouldn't take this demon pill, the realm, Chen Sheng said very bluntly, he needed to go step by step, pretending to be a foreign object is not a good way after all, but since it was something sent by Qinghuai, Li Fuyao still wanted to stay.
The two of them sat on the steps for a short time, and soon it was the hour when the sky was full of stars.
Li Fuyao looked up at those stars, thinking to himself that this is the first serious chat between you and me in a few months, is it possible to talk more?
Thinking so, Li Fuyao still didn't say much.
It's just that Qinghuai was silent for a moment, and then said: "There is a Dao meeting in Liangxi at the end of spring, and I will leave this place in the next few days and go to Liangxi to challenge that Dao species. ”
Li Fuyao knew about this matter, so he just nodded and said, "You have to be careful." ”
Soon Li Fuyao asked tentatively, "You don't have anything else to say?"
Qinghuai sneered, "What do you want to hear." ”
Li Fuyao waved his hand awkwardly, "Actually, speaking of which, I am a friend like you, so I am naturally a little worried about you." ”
Qinghuai turned his head to look at him and smiled.
In the distance, Chen Sheng was lying on a big willow tree, with his realm, of course he knew the situation in this small courtyard clearly, for this pair of young girls, he felt a little headache, he shook his head, and muttered: "This stupid apprentice." ”
