Chapter 10: Flowers and Swords

Flowers are the essence of the plant world, just as the sword is the beauty of the weapon world, they are all endearing and intoxicating! His love for the sword did not carry a trace of revenge, although he was poor, although he was dependent on his mother since he was a child, but the greatness of his mother's love made him understand the true meaning of living in poverty and happiness at a very young age, so that he understood from an early age that happiness can be created by his own hands. Therefore, his love of swords, like people's love of flowers, is innate and emotional.

He had a gentle temperament, sometimes supple like a shy girl, and he seemed to have a resemblance to Wu Shuang, and this was the stark difference between them. Wu Shuang has a woman's delicate appearance at the same time, but also has a free and elegant male demeanor, his rare appearance is called Yushu Linfeng. The difference between Nanping and Nanping is that his masculine side is also quite soft. We might as well say that if Wu Shuanghe is a gentle sheep among lions, then Nanping is more like a gentle lion among sheep - there is an essential difference between the two.

However, what will be the final result of a sword-to-sword battle between the lions of the sheep and the sheep of the lions? It remains to be seen and seen, and no one can predict it, but judging from the trajectory of their rise, it seems that they can extract something that is sufficient to determine the victory or defeat between them.

Wu Shuang studied under a friend of his late father, Niu Fen, who was a little-known swordsman at the time. However, according to his master's own frequent boasting, his family heirloom swordsmanship has a long history, and it is a bloodline passed down from Niu Kaishan, the military department of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

However, these are not important, they are not an important factor in determining the emergence of a peerless swordsmanship, and people have often realized from the wonderful life of the past and present that the master who cultivates the champion does not necessarily have to be the champion. In the same way, a little-known person may not be able to cultivate a peerless swordsman.

This factor, in comparison, seems to be a much higher starting point than Wu Shuang's quest for swords.

It was the same season of flowers, and a teenager who had been intoxicated by his mother's love since childhood was playing among the flowers, playing with beautiful butterflies and busy bees. At that moment, he saw an old man with a white beard dancing a sword on the small meadow in the woods. The old man's face was like a crown of jade, his lips were painted purple, the fairy wind was bone, and the wind god was very different; he held a sword in one hand and a large wine gourd in the other, and stuck the scabbard diagonally into the belt of his robe behind him. His sword is invisible, dancing pear blossoms, sometimes spinning, sometimes jumping, sometimes indulging in a sip, looking like he is intoxicated. His robe was as white as a cloud, and his swordsmanship was light and elegant, as if he was a fairy dancing in the clouds.

So, this wonderful scene suddenly intoxicated the young man's heart like a charming flower. At this time, the old man turned his sword back, smiled at the young man, and said, "Child, is my sword beautiful to dance?"

"Good looking. ”

"Want to learn?"

"I want to learn. ”

"Okay, then you can worship me as a teacher!"

"What's your name?" asked the old man again.

"My name is Nanping. ”

"Well, that's a nice name. ”

"Then Master, what's your name?"

"I'll call Master. ”

Then the old man added with a smile: "It is also called a famous sword." ”

So, from that day on, Nanping followed his master's famous sword and practiced swords on Xinghualing, which has flowers and swords. You must know that a child whose heart is full of good things will have his meridians and the faculties of his whole body like the clear spring of a mountain stream, smooth, agile and beautiful, so his comprehension of the sword will be much higher than that of ordinary people. What's more, there is such an excellent teacher to guide you. Coupled with his diligence and enthusiasm, in the end, he was able to achieve amazing results with half the effort. In other words, he began to learn swords from the current Sword Sect when he was ten years old, and it only took him six years to fully comprehend the lifelong learning of the famous sword.

In contrast, Wu Shuang was much more difficult. This hardship is not because he is not capable of comprehension, on the contrary, he is definitely better at enlightenment and self-study than Nanping. This is not a special ability he was born with, it can only be explained as a use-in-use and a waste-out. Because his master could not provide him with more comprehensive and incisive swordsmanship textbooks, he could only rely on his own understanding and whimsy to achieve his pursuit and desire for swordsmanship.

It is said that when a swordsman has practiced to a certain level, he naturally has a sword in his heart, and Wu Shuang, when he first came into contact with the sword, the sword in his heart already existed very clearly.

And he always demands himself everywhere with the standard of a swordsman who is unparalleled in the world, so there is always a reward for his efforts, and in the end his hard work pays off, and he has now become a unique swordsman in the world - this is the most powerful evidence that God rewards hard work. For a person who has a heart to do it, faith is the best mentor, the most distinctive goal, and an inexhaustible strength.

Many times, even Wu Shuang's master, Niu Fen, didn't understand what kind of height he wanted to train this diligent apprentice to. However, he has a distinctive characteristic, and Wu Shuang's success today is mostly due to this distinctive characteristic of the master. What is that? It is his rich imagination -- many times, the way he arranged for Wu Shuang to practice swordsmanship was the height of a kind of swordsmanship that he himself had fabricated out of thin air; however, what was surprising was that all the sword training methods he had fabricated out of thin air were finally successfully mastered by his protΓ©gΓ©, and practice makes perfect.

Just like that time, he called Wu Shuang into a black hole where he couldn't see his fingers, and said: "Wait a minute, when I walk ten steps away from you, I will put out the torch, and then there will be a lot of unpredictable attacks around you, and you have to defeat these sudden attacks one by one, and you will pass the sword practice this morning." ”

With that, Niu Fen had already reached a position ten paces away from him, and then he blew out the torch without hesitation, and the cave was pitch black, and at this moment, Niu Fen boldly unscrewed the button of the automatic attack machine that he had spent all day yesterday setting up. As a result, Wu Shuang's body suddenly had countless wooden swords and wooden knives, as well as chaotic flying arrows, stabbing at him in turn. However, contrary to Niu Fen's expectations, he took less than a cup of tea to turn all the automatic attack weapons that he had painstakingly studied for half a year into cripples, and when he lit the torch again, Wu Shuang's body was unharmed, and the automatic attack weapon made by his master was already in a mess and a wreckage.

At that time, Niu Fen could hardly believe his eyes, and he shouted: "No way, but I have installed at least five hundred wooden swords, three hundred wooden knives, and two hundred reed feather arrows on the surrounding stone walls, how can you knock them all down in such a short time and cut them into several pieces." How did you do that?"

"I can't tell," Wu Shuang said, "anyway, when I heard the sound of the wind, I drew my sword, and that's how it turned out." ”

"Good apprentice, you are really the strangest person I have ever met in my life!" Niu Fen finally shook his head in surprise.

However, no matter what, the outcome between Wu Shuang and Nanping may only be decided by the result!
