Chapter 57: Retreat
But it was the real person in charge who reached out and patted Bai Yu's forehead, and continued: "Yu'er, how do you think you compare to Shen Fei?
Listening to the comparison between himself and Shen Fei, Shao Baiyu was stunned in his heart, lowered his head, and did not answer for a long time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The master said: "Just say what you think in your heart, between our master and apprentice, there is nothing to taboo." β
Saying such heart-wrenching words again, Shao Baiyu was sincerely frightened, and he felt that his teacher was like a mountain.
"Master Qiyu, Yu'er thinks that she is very similar to Shen Fei, with the same amazing comprehension ability, lofty goals, and persistence in dealing with things. The difference is that there are very different personalities, Yu'er thinks that people are a little rigid and not tactful enough, while Shen Fei is more intelligent and clever, accustomed to looking at problems from multiple angles, doing things tactfully, and often eclectic. β
"What do you think caused the difference in your personalities?"
Shen Fei was born in poverty since he was a child, and he had to work hard to camp in order to survive, so he developed a smooth and mellow personality that was accustomed to mixing with the world. Yu'er was born in a wealthy family in the village, and received a traditional education of courtesy, righteousness, honesty, and respect for teachers since she was a child, so she is relatively conservative and rigid in thinking, and she does things according to the rules, and will not often make unexpected moves like Shen Fei. β
"This is also what the teacher values you the most. Whether it is your dead senior brother Zhong Lirui or your junior brother Shen Fei, now that you think about it, these two people have an unstable factor in their personalities, and they are easy to do unpredictable things, and they are not suitable for inheriting the huge family business of Shushan. Our Shushan doctrine is "follow the heavens and do the right thing for the heavens", everything must be done within this framework, and only in this way can we ensure that this giant ship that has been operated for more than a thousand years will not capsize. These two people are from poor backgrounds, slippery personalities and too smart, if they take over Shushan, they will never keep to themselves, they will definitely make a change that is right in their opinion, in fact, there are all kinds of harm and no benefit to Shushan, so it is very unfavorable to the maintenance of Shushan's prosperity. And Yu'er, you are different, you have received traditional ideological education since childhood, your personality is relatively stable, and you subconsciously retain the inherent framework of respecting teachers, courtesy, righteousness and shame, no matter what you do, you will operate in this framework, so that you can rest assured that you can better protect the teachings of Shushan. β
It turns out that this is the case, the master really values his own character of following the rules, so he is willing to hand over the foundation of Shushan to himself, because this kind of character is most similar to the master himself.
Shao Baiyu lowered his head and bowed to the knees of the master: "Master loves, Yu'er must live up to the master's life, pass on the teachings of Shushan, and carry forward the traditions accumulated in Shushan for thousands of years!"
Everything must have a reason for the existence of everything, and the thousand-year-old prosperity of Shushan is based on the order laid by the ancestors of Qingshan Dao, as long as the normal operation of the order is maintained, Shushan can be eternal and prosperous. The head of the sect bent down, and at the same time stretched out his hands to help Shao Baiyu, "Child, you have inherited the power of the Heavenly Dao, you are the spokesperson of the sky in the world, in the coming bloody storm, you are the only person who can lead Shushan to victory, your achievements will even be above the Qingshan Dao Ancestor, don't hesitate, don't hesitate, don't indulge in the love of children, pay close attention to cultivation, and improve yourself in an all-round way, this is not only for you, for the ambition in your heart, but also for Shushan!" Since the moment you officially accepted my mantle inheritance, your fate has been firmly bound to the Shu Mountain under your feet, and you can't be willful. β
"Master has high hopes, Bai Yu keeps it in mind. However, Master, your old man is a hundred years old, and it is enough for the apprentice to be by your side to assist you. β
"Hehe, silly boy, things are not so simple, the teacher has a premonition recently, I am afraid that my limit is coming, if that day really comes, you are the pillar of Shushan, you have to carry this burden without hesitation, understand!"
"Master, your old man is 100 years old, Master, you live a long life!" Shao Baiyu continued to kowtow and pray for his master.
The head of the sect smiled bitterly: "Who in this world doesn't want to live a long life, but he can't help himself. It is not unreasonable that the immortals of Shushan have a long lifespan, and most of them have not lived past the age of sixty. There are many strong people in the world, the content on the Tianlu stone shelf is fulfilled one by one, if the teacher is not wrong, an unstoppable storm is coming, Bai Yu, don't blame the teacher for nagging, you as my successor, as the bearer of the prosperity of Shushan, don't relax your requirements for yourself, you must always temper yourself, before the arrival of this storm, you can raise yourself to the point where you can support the glory of Shushan. β
"Master made it clear that Yu'er no longer dares to be burdened by the love of her children, and Yu'er will definitely not disgrace her teacher's life!"
"Good boy, this may be very unfair to you, but there is no way, people live in the world, and they can't help themselves!"
"Please rest assured, your advice, Yu'er must be taken to heart. Shao Baiyu finally put his mind at ease, he finally determined that the sudden visit of the head of the real person was not for his own outing, but because of Leng Gongyue, the head of the sect was reminding himself not to be immersed in women and delay his practice.
Although he was a little sorry, after all, he finally got that person's first kiss, but Bai Yu also knew that compared with the private affairs of his children, the extension of his ambition in his heart was more important.
With a turn of his eyes, Bai Yu suddenly asked, "Teacher, Yu'er has the courage to ask, what do you mean by Tianlu Stone Hammer?"
"Tianlu naturally refers to a road between the heavens and the world, and the stone stele is an inscription left on a stone tablet, the content of the inscription is not convenient for you to know now, and when the time is right, the teacher will personally take you to see it. β
Hearing Master say this, Shao Baiyu couldn't help frowning, sank for a long time, and mustered up the courage to ask, "Master, the child still has a question for you." β
"It doesn't hurt if you say it straight. The instructor smiled.
Shao Baiyu clasped his hands into fists and said with a serious face: "Yu'er dares to ask Master, how many secrets are hidden in the huge Shu Mountain, and why are there so many things that Yu'er can't know?"
"Hey, Yu'er, carrying some things too early will only become an invisible burden, which will affect your cultivation and affect the stability of your Dao heart. Don't think about it yet, when the time is almost over, Master will naturally let you know everything. However, you must remember that these secrets can only be accessed by the previous generations of masters, and no one, including Shen Fei, can reveal a single bit. β
Seeing that Shao Baiyu's face was serious, and he still seemed to be unwilling, the master continued to persuade him: "Yu'er, good boy, the content of Tianlu Shizhu is related to all sentient beings, and knowing it too early is only harmful, not good." All you have to do now is concentrate on cultivation and achieve a breakthrough in the realm as soon as possible, understand!"
"Yes, Yu'er understands. Shao Baiyu nodded.
"There is still more than half a year before the ceremony of unsealing the Liangyi Wuxiang Sword, and the teacher feels that it is necessary for you to retreat and practice, concentrate on comprehending the immortal law, and take on the sharpness of the sword more powerfully, what do you say!"
Hearing the words "retreat and practice", Shao Baiyu felt a stump in his heart, after all, this represents a boring life of isolation from the world for a long time.
But when he raised his head and touched the master's gaze, he was infected by the expectations in it, and finally agreed: "Yu'er must take advantage of this time to live up to the high expectations of the master." β
From today onwards, the teacher will lay a new enchantment in the back garden, and no one will be able to enter except for the teacher, so you can use this time to cultivate well, improve yourself, and strive to have a new performance after a year. β
"Yu'er must live up to his master's order. β
"That's it, it's almost dawn, and you'll go to the school to prepare for the teacher, and you can do it yourself. β
After finishing speaking, the real person in charge stood up first, pushed the door and walked out, Shao Baiyu sent the master out of the door, until the door was closed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes flowed, and he sighed deeply when he looked at the white walls of the four walls: "Hey, this teacher's grace is heavy, and Senior Brother Zhongli back then probably walked into a fork in the road under the hot expectation of the master." β
Indeed, since the apprenticeship, Bai Yu has found a earth-shaking change in the attitude of the master, and found the deep expectation of the real person in charge, this expectation is extremely heavy, sometimes he can't breathe, but he also feels honored, maybe in the eyes of the master, his successor must be good enough, excellent enough to support the majestic and magnificent Shu Mountain under his feet.
"Hey!" Shao Baiyu suddenly felt that he was no longer himself, he lived completely for Shushan, for the foundation left by his predecessors, he felt that he was very tired and had no freedom, but he could only accept the reality helplessly, because he knew very well the truth of "only if you suffer hardship, you will become a master".
In the afternoon of the next day, Leng Gongyue came to the back garden, and was blocked by an enchantment that he had not encountered before, and he waved the sword several times to no avail, and vaguely guessed something, and sure enough, after landing, the old man in gray clothes paced out from behind the rockery.
No matter how many times you face this person, the feeling of being overwhelmed by Mount Tai will not be weakened in the slightest.
"Mingyue Peak Leng Gongyue, meet the real person in charge......" The words behind him were not finished, and the master had already raised his hand, "Gongyue, among the six peaks, I value you the most, and you don't have to be so polite when you meet in private." "When you should be polite, you still have to be polite, and the words of the head coach can close the distance.
However, Gong Yue is not a three-year-old child, and she has already seen the clues from the barrier that blocks the road, and she asked directly: "The real person in charge, what does this barrier mean?"
"Don't hide it from you Gong Yue, Shen Fei went down the mountain to preach and died for nine lives, Bai Yu is now the only person to inherit my mantle, in order to make him the best successor, and in order to be able to successfully complete the Divine Sword Unsealing Ceremony in half a year, in the near future, Yu'er will be in retreat, and no one can disturb me except me. β
"Bai Yu wants to retreat?" Leng Gongyue had a stalk in her heart, and actually released a trace of anger, which made the master frown, and said in her heart: Being in love with this persistent woman is really not a good thing, and it is correct to stop it early.
Indeed, Leng Gongyue is high on the top, always maintaining a look of rejecting people thousands of miles away, such a cold beauty, once she has true feelings, it is like a rekindled volcano, and her feelings are hot and fierce and out of control, which is not the slightest benefit to the current Shao Baiyu. Thinking about it carefully, Gong Yue disregarded the difference between men and women, regardless of the shyness of girls, after experiencing yesterday's lingering, she immediately went to the back garden to look for Shao Baiyu the next day.
The more difficult it is for a woman to approach, if one day she is moved and opens her heart completely, the more hot the emotions that erupt will be, because it is a long-pent-up emotion, which is different from ordinary people.
Leng Gongyue realized her gaffe, but she still took a step closer and said in a strong tone, "Do you need to retreat for a whole year!"
The Master showed a hint of displeasure, but still stood still and didn't scold her, "Until the ceremony begins." β
"What do I want to do if I want to see him!"
Gong Yue's words made the master frown, but he still replied patiently: "Yue'er, why do you want to see Bai Yu?"
"Because...... Because I want to learn from him. β
"There are so many brothers in the school, why do you have to look for Bai Yu. β
"They can't keep up with me. β
"Gong Yue, as your elder, it is necessary for me to remind you that you are the future successor of Mingyue Peak, and Bai Yu is the future head of the Shushan Sword Sect, both of you are in the growth period, if you are distracted by your children's love and delay your cultivation, you will regret it at that time. β
"I didn't mean that. Gong Yue's face flushed, and she finally retreated.
"Yue'er, good boy, the best years of life are those few years, if you waste time on children's love, when this time is over, you will definitely regret it. Don't forget what you want to do!"
"You misunderstood, Yue'er really just wants to learn from Bai Yu's junior brother. β
"Hehe, it doesn't matter what you mean, the important thing is that Bai Yu will be in retreat for a while in the future. In addition, the back garden is an important place on the mountain, although you are a new star of Mingyue Peak, you can't enter it casually, you need to master the right proportion. β
"But ......" looked at the body of the head of the sect standing like a mountain, Leng Gongyue's expression darkened, and finally retreated, "Yes, Yue'er understood, and said goodbye to the real person in charge." As he spoke, he flew up with his sword and went far away. It wasn't until her back completely disappeared that she sighed: "The women of Mingyue Peak, there is no one who is normal, Bai Yu, you really need to stay away from them." β
The reason why the head of the sect said this was because he remembered what Shen Fei had seen and heard on Mingyue Peak, and remembered the poor man who had been imprisoned by Nalan Mingzhu for twenty years and suffered cruel abuse day and nightβthe women of Mingyue Peak were all crazy!
