Chapter 15: The Sword Name 'Ten Years'
"There are so many bad people, are you coming to Tanzhou for a meeting? won't you come to our Lushan?" Li Yuanwai couldn't sit still, and then yelled at Lord Lu Duo, "Lu Daxia, you want to protect our people." ”
"Don't dare, if you can get it, you can let me know. ”
"I thank you first, then I'll go first, there are still things at home, Lu Daxia said goodbye, come to tea next time," Li Yuanwai got up and went downstairs.
"Let's go, Li Yuanwai. ”
"Who is he?" he looks a little familiar," Xie Jiang asked Brother Xiao Wu after seeing him leave.
"The local squire is the elder of the Li family here and Li Jin's uncle. Sometimes they come here to eat and drink tea, but there are very few opportunities to come, the big mansion next to the old City God Temple is their home, and the fields to the south of the City God Temple are their family," Brother Xiao Wu was a little sour, "By the way, I almost forgot, tomorrow is the Buddha Bathing Festival, and I don't know if it will rain tomorrow." On this rainy day, there are a lot fewer fish sellers, and if Daolin Temple wants to release them tomorrow, I'm afraid that there will be fewer live fish in the store, Xie Jiang, you have to help me get some live fish back. ”
"Then I'll take a look. ”
Of course, Xie Jiang knew where to catch fish, although he also wanted to hear the stories of the rivers and lakes told by Lord Lu Duo, but he was also afraid that Lord Lu Duo would ask him about what happened today, and it would be difficult to answer, so he simply came out by himself. The weather was a little cold, but it couldn't cool Xie Jiang's heart, he was still thinking about the battle in the afternoon, thinking about it made his blood boil, put on his coat, and he drove the boat out to fish.
The next day was still foggy, and it was still cold in the haze. Xie Jiang rushed to the mountain alone, and the master was already sitting in the mid-mountain pavilion. It seems that the past six years have never changed, and the master and apprentice have also become a different scenery in the Banshan Pavilion.
When Xie Jiang was meditating, a man in a strong suit came to the Mid-Mountain Pavilion, and when he saw the two of them meditating, he didn't ask or speak, Xie Jiang didn't feel like he came to visit the mountain, but like a person who went up the mountain to worship the Buddha. After a while, there was a bell from Daolin Temple, could it be that there was an event in the Buddha Bathing Festival? Master Banyun got up and went to Daolin Temple. Xie Jiang's luck is not over every week, but this man in a strong suit did not leave, and made a salute to Master Banyun, is it a lazy person who went up the mountain to worship the Buddha?
After Xie Jiang finished meditating, he saw that this person was still sitting in the mid-mountain pavilion, and he wanted to go to Qingfeng Gorge to practice boxing. After fishing and messing around in Qingfeng Gorge for a long time, Xie Jiang went to the grass house again, and saw the man in the strong suit there, which made Xie Jiang nervous and remembered the trouble that the hibiscus girl said yesterday.
At that time, it began to rain again, and the sky was overcast, and it looked like it would be a rainy day all day.
The man in the pretended to be over there had already left, Xie Jiang went to the old master's study to clean the room, but saw the old master of the emperor standing in front of the wall hanging a sword. Xie Jiang often saw him pondering, and he didn't care, he was busy cleaning the desk, and only after a while did he hear the old master of Huangfu whispering: "Jiang Yanzi, you are here." ”
"Good morning, sir. ”
"Well," the old master replied, but continued to think about his own business.
"There is a sentence of 'ten years of sharpening a sword', do you know?"
"I've heard it said before. ”
"Oh, come and sit here, do you remember this poem?" the old master took the sword from the wall and sat down in front of the bookcase.
"The predecessors wrote the poem 'Ten years of sharpening a sword, the frost blade has not been tried, today the king is revealed, who has injustice?', I heard my husband talk about this poem, I also liked it, so I wrote it down. ”
"Well, yes, I said the poem before. Do you like swords? I saw that you were very interested in 'going to Nirvana' last time. ”
"Yes, I love swords. ”
"Look at this sword. ”
This is a seven-foot ancient sword that looks a little ordinary, the wooden scabbard is carved with pine clouds, and there is a pendant hanging on the handle, which is not practical at first glance, but after drawing the sword, Xie Jiang was surprised.
The old master drew his sword out of its sheath, but his face was solemn. The blade of the sword was made of stainless steel, the blade flashed with cold light, and the words 'Ten Years' were engraved on the spine of the sword. Xie Jiang thought, the weapons with words must be very powerful!
"The name of this sword is 'Ten Years', and it was lent to me by an old friend back then, but it has been more than 30 years since this loan," the old master was sad. Xie Jiang didn't know how to respond. was speechless for a long time, the old master is also a sad person, but when he came back to his senses, his expression changed, and the expression of the teaching master came up again.
"Xie Jiang, you've been here for a few years, haven't you?"
"Almost five years. ”
"Well, I still remember that you actually wanted to worship me as a teacher, but you followed Banyun. But it's better to learn art with him than to follow me, I haven't practiced for decades, and the martial arts I learned back then are no longer in me, but Banyun is a real Buddhist kung fu, and you can be your master. ”
"Yes. ”
"A gentleman has three joys, both parents exist, brothers have no reason for one happiness, look up to the sky, bow down to others for two happiness, have a fate to teach three music, this old monk is happy in it. The old master paused for a moment and continued: "Count you in the fate of my grass house helper, if I don't teach you anything, I can't say anything, I have some skills here, I can teach you, or you don't need to be a master and apprentice, are you willing to learn?"
"I have learned a lot from Mr., literacy and etiquette are all learned from Mr. 's words and deeds, and I ask Mr. to continue to teach me, and I will be worshiped by my apprentice here," Xie Jiang sincerely bowed in front of the bookcase.
"The son can be taught," the old master also generously accepted Xie Jiang's bow, "but to pass on your skills, you must first have the heart to learn skills." When I was learning art, because of the fate of this 'ten years', my friend lent me this sword, although I haven't seen it for many years, this sword still has to be returned to him. Since you like swords, you can find the sword in your heart first, and if you can get something, you can learn from me. ”
"If I find the sword in my heart, I will ask the master for guidance. ”
"Hahaha, it's up to you, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu back then, 'failed to learn swords, and learned from ten thousand enemies', and finally achieved a great hero. Everyone has their own strengths, see if you can find them. ”
"Thank you, sir. ”
The sword in his heart, what kind of concept is this? The old master doesn't look like bragging, what kind of dumb riddle is this? Although Xie Jiang still doesn't understand how to get this sword, the old master doesn't say it, and Xie Jiang can't ask, what kind of sword is the sword in his heart, does this sword know him?
However, Xie Jiang thought: If 'Ten Years' is Mr.'s sword, 'Go to Nirvana' is Liu Lian's sword, and You Xiyun uses the You Dragon Sword, then in the future, if I want to walk the rivers and lakes, of course, I must have a sword of my own. If you say it this way, the old master's words also make sense, let's understand it this way.
Next time I borrow Mr.'s sword, I guess Mr. won't agree!
