Chapter 23 Stocking

The boy left with his sword, and the sound of striking iron continued.

"How about this disciple selected by Gu Li?"

A piercing voice rang out in the blacksmith's shop.

The sound is not loud, but it is like a substance stuffed into the pinna of the human ear, soft as cotton, but too much stuffing, it is easy to make people feel swollen and painful.

People don't know when they come, and their clothes are inconspicuous.

Coarse cloth clothes, hemp rope wrapped around the waist, rough hands, calluses on the palms, a pair of straw sandals even with a few holes, no decoration on the face, and extremely casual shaved hair.

If it weren't for the voice and calm at this time, which was completely different from ordinary people's bearing, this middle-aged man would have looked like a woodcutter in the mountains.

"Fabulous. ”

The blacksmith was unusually simple and said two words.

It's just these two words, but the middle-aged man who looks like a woodcutter is very moved.

"Can you tell me?"

He looked at the blacksmith solemnly, subconsciously said this, and instantly felt a little apologetic, and said: "I'm really curious, even those peerless famous swords, when you see them, it's just a simple judgment, good, or okay, or some can't, this is the word excellent, I have never heard of it from your mouth." ”

"The sword is a dead thing, but it can live in him, he knows the truth, he knows the heart. The blacksmith thought for a moment and said, "And don't think about it, there are thousands of ways, and if there is one way through, he will take it." ”

"What else?"

The middle-aged man who looked like a woodcutter looked more solemn.

"Not enough?"

The blacksmith seemed to think that he was a little vulgar, paused, and said: "The sword moves in the Liuyun Sword Sutra are too simple for him, just watch it once, whether it is meditation or the speed of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it is the first among all the people I have seen." Is this enough?"

"It's not just enough, it's scary. The middle-aged man who looked like a woodcutter frowned slightly and smiled bitterly.

"Although I, Zhu Feng, may not necessarily be the number one in sword refining in the world, among the at least well-known sword refiners in Qin, there is no one who has refined more swords than me, and no one is better than the swords I have refined. It's just that after refining the sword for so many years, Gu Liren hasn't taken a fancy to it, he can't even look down on my sword, but he regards this disciple as a treasure, which can be imagined. ”

The blacksmith's words seemed a little lonely, but his expression became more and more relieved and cheerful.

"Then I also figured it out, why Gu Liren came to see you, but he didn't see me, and he didn't even let me know that he had come here and picked a disciple here. ”

The middle-aged man who looked like a woodcutter took a deep breath, but there was indescribable emotion in his eyes, "He knows that I am tired of the rivers and lakes, so he doesn't want to involve me anymore." It's just that I owe him a favor, his disciple wants to practice in this area, and this disciple is his place of sustenance, how can I not help him take a look?"

"Where the love lies, this is the good of the rivers and lakes, as for good wine and good meat, it's all bullshit. ”

The middle-aged man who looked like a woodcutter laughed, laughing wildly and proudly.

The blacksmith was silent.

Even if the body and mind are not in the rivers and lakes, who can really get rid of the rivers and lakes.

......

Wang Jingmeng has not left this mountain village yet.

He looked at the dozen villagers kneeling in front of him, frowning slightly, he felt that he had to figure out a question first.

How to practice.

This is a crucial question.

Hunting those ferocious beasts and exchanging their fur and flesh for the necessities of life is of course different from absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body now, practicing the Sword Sutra, and killing people.

He felt he had to figure out what he was going to do in the future.

The most important thing for a person is to be alive.

It's better to die than to live, this is an old saying that applies everywhere.

There are very few people in the world who are bent on death.

Because the person who really wants to die has already died, and when he sees someone, he will say that he wants to die, and he will die a hundred times and still look at the rising sun tomorrow.

Alive, he will seek to be full of warmth, after being warm, he will seek comfort and comfort, he was really able to live well a few years ago, and he can be comfortable and comfortable with the purple bamboo in the mountains, which is something that those old hunters who have walked in the mountains for decades can not easily do, of course he understands that he is too different from ordinary people.

It's just that there is not much difference between sitting in a corner and watching the sky from a well.

He didn't get to the point where he needed to think hard about his life.

But Gu Liren appeared.

He became a true cultivator, and the heavens and the earth opened up in front of him.

But the most important thing is that Gu Liren is too strong and too tall.

This feeling is like when he hasn't seen the river in front of him clearly, but Gu Liren has already carried him to the clouds, and then pointed to the heaven and earth below, saying, look, this is the real world.

It's just that the ones flying high in the clouds are not necessarily immortals who can escape from the world, but more birds that are shot down by hunters.

It was time for him to think about what he was going to do in the future.

Killing people for survival doesn't need any special thoughts, people threaten my life and death, and I naturally want to resist, it's just instinct.

But to take the initiative to kill people is to ask for a reason and a purpose.

The villagers, kneeling in front of him now, are asking him to kill.

Seeing that he was silent, the villagers thought that he was unwilling, and immediately several people led them to kowtow, and kept promising to raise as much money as possible, and even to raise money and send it every year as long as he provided shelter.

"I don't love money. ”

Wang Jingmeng didn't listen carefully to what these villagers said later, he ignored the more promises given by these villagers, he figured it out a little, raised his head, and said, "I'll go and see, if he is really the same as you said, I will kill this person, you don't need to give me anything." ”

The villagers were all stunned.

They couldn't believe it.

"People are living beings, but also the same kind, and killing people is something that most people will never do in their lives, so they are sacred. So I will only kill because of myself, not because of others. ”

Wang Jingmeng looked at these villagers whose eyes were full of suspicion, and said calmly: "I want to kill this person, just because I think this person is extremely evil, but this person makes me dislike it, I am too disgusted, I do it from my heart." ”

These villagers could not understand Wang Jingmeng's words at this time, but they heard that Wang Jingmeng really wanted to see the person they were talking about, and would really kill that person.

As to whether the man was the same as they said, they were not worried, because all they said was the truth.

Wang Jingmeng turned to leave.

He carried the new sword that made him feel comfortable.

The sword had been in the chest for many years, and it had not yet been stained with blood.

He was in a good mood at this time.

It's not that he has completely figured out what he wants to do in the future, but he has figured out that he doesn't need to look too far at any time, and that any choice needs to fully listen to his inner voice.

If it's not something you really want to do, if you can't make yourself happy by doing it, then what's the point of practicing, and if you're not happy when you get more powerful power, what's the point?

At this time, he had more respect and admiration for Gu Liren in his heart, and he was lucky to meet such a teacher.

He truly understood why Gu Liren just threw him a few sword scriptures and left him a few paths, and then left without being by his side.

This is true stocking.

Because Gu Liren wants him to follow his own preferences, be at ease and follow his fate.

Gu Liren didn't want to use his own thoughts and preferences to sway his thoughts and preferences.

And to be able to see in such a short period of time what kind of person this disciple of his is, what kind of cultivation he is suitable for, such a teacher is really not an ordinary person.
