Chapter 444: Sword Asks Chess Language (I) (Su Jia's Memories)
"Senior, you really ...... ......, one of the four saints of martial arts today," Su Jia looked at the old man in front of him with incredible eyes.
The old man stroked his beard and replied with a smile: "Yes, the old man is the founder of the Soul Breaking Sword Technique - Lu Qingfeng ......" Indeed, the old man in his early seventies in front of him is Lu Qingfeng, one of the four saints of martial arts today and the elder of Yixian Sect.
"Are you really a senior Lu?" Su Jia saw this, and immediately knelt down and said, "The juniors have been learning the Soul Breaking Sword Technique for a long time, but they have never seen the true face of the master. Master, forgive the disciple for being late to meet you, and please accept the disciple's bow!" After speaking, Su Jia bowed her head in front of Lu Qingfeng.
"Get up, Miss Su......" Lu Qingfeng's personality is very easy-going, and there is no hierarchy of high and low status, he slowly helped Su Jia up, and continued, "So, you really found the remnants of the secret book of the Soul Breaking Sword Technique left by the old man when he left the Wind Chasing Sect fifty years ago in the 'Water Moon Cave' of the Wind Chasing Sect?"
Su Jia slowly stood up and nodded in response: "Yes, for some reason, I broke into the forbidden land of the Wind Chaser Sect......"
"It's been fifty years, and the rules of the Wind Chaser still haven't changed...... At that time, I was young and frivolous, and I disdained the rules of the Fools of the Wind Chasing Sect, so I took the initiative to break into the forbidden land of the Wind Chasing Sect, and was expelled by the old man's master, who was also the ancestor of the Wind Chasing Sect, Shangguan Xianjian's predecessors......" Lu Qingfeng continued while recalling his deeds, "Of course, now that the old man is more than seventy years old, he still can't get used to the gang rules of the Wind Chasing Sect, but now he has lost the arrogance of his youth...... But after all, the 'Water Moon Cave' is still a forbidden place for the Wind Chaser faction, and ordinary people generally dare not enter it casually...... In this way, Miss Su, you have strayed into the hole. Or did you break in on your own initiative like the old man?"
Su Jia paused. Then he responded: "Don't hide it from Master, you said that the apprentice took the initiative to break in......"
"Oh. Is it?" Lu Qingfeng seemed to have a happy look on his face when he heard this, "Why is this?"
Su Jia listened, recalled the memories she didn't want to recall, and said slowly in a sad and indignant tone: "Chen Shijin, the chief disciple of the Wind Chasing Sect, took refuge in Meng Yuan in order to covet glory and wealth, and became a lackey of the Meng Yuan court...... It was already a year ago, and Chen Shijin turned against the water and surrendered to the enemy. Regardless of the kindness of my master, I swore that I would kill Chen Shijin, a scum, and eliminate harm for the world! But my martial arts were not as good as him, and when I was in pain and grief, I wanted to go to the 'Water Moon Cave' to take shelter from the rain, thinking that even if I was not a disciple of the Wind Chasing Sect in the future and was rejected by the clan, I would kill Chen Shijin...... Therefore, I entered the Water Moon Cave with grief. I didn't think about it that much at the time......"
Lu Qingfeng listened to Su Jia's life experience, and thought that as the daughter of Su Ren and Lin Yufei, she was raised by her father-killing enemy since she was a child, and she met Chen Shijin's accident of sentencing Meng Yuan away. In the end, she ended up being rejected by her teacher like herself, Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but feel that Su Jia, a young girl, had experienced too many vicissitudes of the world.
Think about it. Lu Qingfeng silently said: "When I was in my prime, I didn't understand the rules of the Wind Chasing Sect. I don't understand what the forbidden place of the Water Moon Cave is. If you don't understand what people don't do, what do you don't understand. The rules of the sect. All of them are reasonable and reasonable, and they make people look at their bodies. However, the rules of the wind-chasing faction, the strength of the physique of the unkind people, the style of etiquette that does not grow people, and the way of eternal happiness that does not meet the people......, how can it be?
"Master, this is ......" Su Jia seemed to remember something when she heard Lu Qingfeng's silent words, and couldn't help asking.
"The ancients said: 'Adults rule the world, and they are both strong in the way of benevolence and righteousness and martial arts. 'First, if you don't break the rotten rules, how can you rule the world with the way of benevolence and righteousness; second, as for the strength of martial arts, I record the peerless sword method 'Soul Breaking Sword Method' in this book. If you can dare to abandon the conformist heart, enter the Water Moon Cave, that is, you can't help but dare to create the world in the traditional rotten thoughts, but I have already realized the principle of the stereotypes that imprison people's hearts, so I created my own 'Soul Breaking Knife Method' to the world, which is the will of Ming Wu, and put the book of cheats in the Water Moon Cave. Woohoo, in order to emulate, whoever learns my sword technique, must have the heart of the traditional rotten thinking and dare to create the world and enter its hole. Therefore, those who can learn my sword technique must have both the way of benevolence and righteousness and the strength of martial arts, and the adults who rule the world will also ......," Lu Qingfeng continued, "That's right, these are the words that the old man left in the 'Water Moon Cave' of the Wind Chasing Sect back then, which explains the old man's ambition...... I made a bet with Gao Ying's heroine 'Jianghu Bo', originally I wanted to receive my favorite disciple and pass it on to her soul-breaking knife technique. However, the disciple that the old man is looking for must be the one who dares to break the traditional rotten thinking and has the heart to create the world...... Miss Su, you are not confined to the corrupt stereotypes of the Wind Chaser faction, you are jealous and hateful, you are young and have a grand way, you are naturally the old man's favorite disciple, and now it seems that it is true......"
"Master......" Su Jia replied softly, hearing Lu Qingfeng say this, Su Jia recalled all the things after he came out of the Chasing Wind Sect, and couldn't help but sigh and sigh at the ups and downs he had gone through.
Lu Qingfeng's expression is not as sad as Su Jia, it seems that older people who have attained the Tao can always look down on the world, this truth is not false. Lu Qingfeng stroked his beard again, smiled and said to Su Jia: "In this way, Miss Su, you should have also found the 'ghost knife' left by the old man in the cave, right?"
When Su Jia heard this, she immediately came back to her senses and said, "Oh, that's right, the ghost knife left by the master in the cave back then, the apprentice has always carried it with ......."
After speaking, Su Jia took out the ghost knife pinned to her waist, but as soon as she touched the scabbard of the ghost knife, Su Jia's eyes turned red all of a sudden - this scabbard was Xiao Tian's first gift to herself, and it was also what she saw when she and Xiao Tian had a conflict for the first time, and this scabbard has also helped herself save herself many times in the face of dangerous people such as Lu Huan and Wang Dasheng...... Now whether he is alive or dead, Xiao Tian on the Divine Peak Cliff is still unknown, thinking of this, Su Jia's heart is both moved and worried......
"This is the ghost knife left by the old man back then, right?" or Lu Qingfeng's words interrupted Su Jia's thoughts, "It's strange, the old man only left the ghost knife back then." There is no scabbard left, this scabbard is ......"
"It's something he gave me......" Su Jia said "him". Naturally, it was Xiao Tian who she couldn't let go. After that, Su Jia briefly recounted her and Xiao Tian's experience to Lu Qingfeng......
Lu Qingfeng listened. stroked his beard and smiled: "Hahahaha, it's really providence, the person who is important to you is actually the disciple of Gao Ying's heroine, another person from Jianghu Bo...... The one who learns Gao Meizi's swordsmanship will be a young man, and the one who learns the old man's swordsmanship will be a little girl......"
"Senior Gao also said something similar......" Su Jia said silently.
"However, the old man and Sister Gao failed to get together in the end, and the marriage note fifty years ago became a joke...... "Lu Qingfeng continued to laugh, "So it seems." You and that kid surnamed Xiao are much better than us......"
Su Jia couldn't say anything for a while, for her, she was both moved by Xiao Tian and worried about him.
Lu Qingfeng thought for a while, and then returned the topic to the ghost knife: "Anyway, although this knife was made by the old man, it has never been used...... It's you, Miss Su, who has become the old man's disciple by mistake, and has always taken him with him. Since you are the old man's disciple, can you let the old man see him? Miss Su, how are your martial arts?"
Su Jia listened, smiled and said, "Since the master wants to see it, the apprentice will be ugly......
After that, Su Jia came out a little bit. Fly to the surface of the lake. Su Jia, who has basically recovered physically, is no longer a problem to use the Soul Breaking Knife Method. Su Jia landed on the lake lightly, and the ghost knife in his hand roared out like a gust of wind.
Lu Qingfeng observed every move of Su Jia's use of the Soul Breaking Knife Technique. His expression was extremely serious......
"Ahh After a loud shout, the blade transformed into a ghostly blade. Oscillating in the blue waves, stirring up waves several palms high.
Su Jia's shots have always been fierce, and with the fierce power of the Soul Breaking Knife Technique, he can often take people's lives with his moves. This test was no exception, and the illusion of the ghostly sword was like a soul seducing death, emitting a terrifying roar that could slash the enemy apart in an instant.
Su Jia exerted the internal force of her whole body, and her sword technique was like a ghost wind, and the calm lake water was churned like a huge wave for a while, with great ups and downs, like clouds and rain, toppling mountains and rivers......
Su Jia's every movement, even every look, Lu Qingfeng observed very carefully. Objectively speaking, Su Jia's every set of moves has been done perfectly, and even some innovative moves have surprised Lu Qingfeng, but Lu Qingfeng's expression does not seem to be completely satisfied, and he frowns from time to time......
After a period of overturning, Su Jia withdrew the knife and returned to Lu Qingfeng on the shore with light skills again. "Master, what do you think?" asked Su Jia with a smile.
Lu Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, and then responded: "I have to say, Miss Su, you are indeed very talented, and your sword skills make you perfect, and you have the demeanor of an old man when he was young...... However, in the old man's opinion, Miss Su, you haven't really fully mastered the essence of the Soul Breaking Sword Technique......"
"Oh, what moves are flawed?" Su Jia knew that Lu Qingfeng was the founder of the Soul Breaking Sword Method after all, so he asked very modestly.
"Actually, it's not a matter of moves, Miss Su's moves have been done perfectly, and there are even innovative moves, which is beyond the old man's expectations......" Lu Qingfeng explained slowly, "However, Miss Su, your moves only know the ferocity and speed, only the surface, but the true meaning of the knife technique ......"
"The true meaning of the sword technique?" Su Jia couldn't help but ask, "I remember, Master, in your secret book, you only described the essentials of mastering the sword technique, 'make a decision, and take the command of Miki with one move', but you have never understood it...... True—"
Lu Qingfeng thought for a while, and then asked, "Then Miss Su, have you formed a lot of grudges since you left the Wind Chasing Sect?"
Su Jia listened, nodded and replied, "Rong Tu'er think about it...... In addition to Chen Shijin and Mo Tianxing, I passed through Liusha Town, offended Lu Huan and Liu Jinquan, entered Bianliang, and provoked the Mengyuan court...... Although he has done a lot of righteousness, the resentment around him is also one after another......"
Lu Qingfeng smiled and continued to ask: "Then Miss Su, think about it again, how many grudges has the old man had since he left the Wind Chaser Sect fifty years ago?"
Su Jia calculated, a little confused: "It seems to be ...... It seems that I really haven't heard of any resentment from you in the martial arts, Master...... However, does this have anything to do with the Soul Breaking Sword Method?"
Lu Qingfeng stroked his beard and smiled: "The knife technique is the same, but there is only a difference between doing things...... The moves are fierce and the hearts of the people are kind, then everyone admires them, on the contrary, they hate the sky and the sea, and they can't use it for a lifetime. Even if the chivalrous deeds are righteous in the world, the education of the world is also the main thing, and the position of military uniforms is the next, and the place of death is the bottom. The same is true of sword techniques and even other martial arts, whether it is the power of the soul breaking dragon or the softness of the Tai Chi Void Palm, the hearts of the people are charitable, and the people are united for a hundred generations, and the hearts of the people are narrow and resentful, and it is difficult to settle the ...... for life."
Su Jia seemed to understand a little, but she was still vague, and she continued to ask: "I don't understand, and I ask the master to teach-"
Lu Qingfeng paused for a moment, then turned around and said with a smile: "That's it, the old man will go to the clear spring in the middle of the mountain to discuss the chess path in a while, if Miss Su is fine, come and watch......
"But I'm still worried about Ah Tian's ......" Su Jia naturally couldn't let go of Xiao Tian in her heart, after all, she didn't know whether she was dead or alive Xiao Tian on the cliff, so Su Jia said urgently.
However, Lu Qingfeng did not hurry and said: "Didn't Miss Su end up in today's situation because of her conflict with him? The world is unreasonable, even if you meet in the world, what can it be? Miss Su, are you willing to reunite with countless doubts...... Or do you untie the knot in your heart for a long time and relive it?"
Su Jia was stunned when she heard this, she couldn't help but think of what Xiao Tian's mother said to her when she was in Xiaojia Villa - if she and Xiao Tian didn't really find the answer that belonged to the two of them, they wouldn't have gone through the second half of their lives with the true meaning......
Thinking of this, Su Jia seemed to have changed her mind and showed a determined look. "Okay, I'll be over in a moment, Master......" Su Jia replied firmly behind her.
Lu Qingfeng listened and did not look back at Su Jia, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. After a while, Lu Qingfeng beckoned to the other side again: "Ziqing, Xumen, the two of you set up the chessboard in the Qingquan in the middle of the mountain, and today is not the time, the old man wants to study the chess path as in the past." ”
"Yes, Elder—" Ziqing and Xumen, who suddenly appeared on the opposite side, replied at the same time, and then left in a hurry.
Ziqing and Xumen are the left and right protectors of Yixian Gate, and they also participated in the rescue when Ying was robbed in the eighteenth year. Now, they are also under the order of Fang Zhong Tianfang, and together with Lu Qingfeng, they came to the Divine Peak Cliff to cultivate the immortal lotus in order to extract the essence of its things. And Su Jia only realized at this time that the other person who had been lying on the fairy lotus for two days, and heard the conversation with Lu Qingfeng, was Ziqing and Xumen.
"Miss Su, do you know chess?" Lu Qingfeng turned his head and asked again at this time.
Su Jia only reacted at this time, and hurriedly nodded in response: "Ah...... Yes, there will be some ......"
Lu Qingfeng thought for a while, and then continued: "Today, Miss Su, can you come and play against the old man?"
"When...... Absolutely. Su Jia also agreed inexplicably, she didn't know what Lu Qingfeng meant by suddenly playing chess with her......
The Shenfeng Cliff is originally towering into the clouds, and it is connected to many surrounding mountains, which can be described as a picture of beautiful rivers and mountains. Under the cliff, there are thousands of grassy woods and vibrant spring water, from the middle of the mountain, there is a slowly flowing stream, giving people a sense of "natural vitality and spring......
Lu Qingfeng was sitting quietly on the side of the clear stream, closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, as if listening to the sound of all things, with a leisurely demeanor. In front of him, there is an ancient wooden chessboard, with a few chess pieces on it, and the whole picture is like the artistic conception of an immortal playing chess......
Before the time came, Su Jia slowly came to the clear stream in the middle of the mountain at this time, and saw Lu Qingfeng's eyes closed, Su Jia was embarrassed to deliberately disturb, so he didn't accept a word, but sat quietly on the other side of the chessboard like Lu Qingfeng, waiting for Lu Qingfeng to speak.
"Since it's coming, why don't you say it?" Lu Qingfeng asked with his eyes closed...... (To be continued......)
