Chapter 7 Four Years of Learning
It's been four years in the blink of an eye, time is always passing, and people are always growing. The path forward was chosen by oneself or was it driven by time.
"Hengyu, you've been on the mountain for a few years, do you still remember?" Cheng Jigong asked Hengyu.
"Back to Master's words, it has been four years since the apprentice went up the mountain. ”
"It's been four years, do you remember the purpose of your coming up to the mountain? ”
"The apprentice originally followed the master to the mountain to learn martial arts because he didn't want to be a useless second ancestor anymore. ”
"Really, how do you think you've learned?"
"When I returned to my master's words, the apprentice felt that he had not learned enough. ”
"Then you don't want to go down?"
"Didn't want to go down. ”
"Then let me ask you if you really want to continue studying, or if you don't want to go down the mountain to contact and recall the people and things of the past. ”
"I ......" Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by his master.
"You don't need to answer me in a hurry, I actually asked these questions for yourself, I think it's time for you to give yourself a real answer. ”
"And it's time for you to take a break and rest. It's good to calm down and feel the nature. The teacher also taught you a sentence, everything will eventually become a thing of the past, and we living people should look forward.
"Yes, I understand. ”
Four years, and the time she left, it was almost four years. There are still two months left, and it will be four years for Hengyu to go up the mountain. It's not that he didn't think about the past, he was just deliberately avoiding it, but this is the fourth year!
For the past four years, Hengyu has been counting the days because he wants to know how long it will take to forget. Forget, forget the scene of those four years ago, because he has hatred in his heart, so he has to keep reminding himself of how long it has been.
Four years, if this is to be forgotten, maybe forget everything. But there are some things to remember. Four years have passed, and the past is as if it were yesterday. Hate, deepened. Pain, numbness.
At the age of eighteen, in the blink of an eye, he is about to enter the year of the weak crown. It is the golden period for men to grow and mature. "You can't run away anymore!" Hengyu said to himself.
There are some things that are not as easy to implement as decided. To reminisce, to remember, I always feel a little sad. It still hurts in my heart, and I don't want to think about it anymore. In the past few days, Hengyu has not been training desperately every day to practice swords like he has done in the past four years, and finally he finally calmed down and thought about things.
After four years of learning and training, he could no longer understand the topography of this mountain, but he never calmed down to enjoy this scenery. It's rare to have these days. It is rare to have these few days to enjoy the scenery of the mountains, to wash the pain in your heart, and to calm yourself.
In fact, this mountain forest is really beautiful, this forest that has never been cut down by people, is the magnificent scenery, the pines and cypresses are so vigorous, the scattered flowers and trees of the jungle, like the finishing touch of the painting, is so expressive, so fascinating.
It turns out that the heart can still be moved, not necessarily by people, but also by such natural scenery. Without any decorations, it can be tempting. Hengyu's heart calmed down, just for this beautiful scenery. Nature showed him a unique charm, vaguely making him eager to get more.
Think about it, the fallen leaves under your feet are so deep, if you only look at the part, what is the charm at all. But if you look at the overall situation, the dilapidated leaves are nothing, it does not destroy this beautiful scenery, but even fills the gap in this beautiful "picture". Maybe life is like this mountain scenery, why bother to lose confidence in the reality of a beautiful world for the sake of the scene of "dilapidated and fallen leaves".
Nature often teaches people some correct and common philosophical principles, and every time this happens, people will remember their own life path and mission. At this moment, people have a rare calm. Hengyu is at this moment, meditating, and choosing.
Some things have to be faced after all, and some people have to appear in front of the public after all, and these two dilemmas have appeared in Hengyu's body at the moment, so he has to make a choice with no extra options. He had to go down the mountain, even if he might be greeted with a shameful smile, even if he lived a "nest", he still had to go down.
Individuals can never live only for themselves, because there are too many relationships, so there will be too many obligations, too many "shoulds" to add to the body. Everyone always lives only for themselves, because behavior is always dominated by their own thinking, and what people pursue is always only to be worthy of their own hearts. No matter how you live, you can't live without the ties of the relationships around you. Detachment from the world, detachment from the mundane, after all, that is not the work of man, that is already beyond the mortal dust.
Hengyu is a child, he has to go back, at this moment he is thinking about not only living for himself. Come to think of it, it's been four years. In the past four years, he has not even had the opportunity to look at his home from afar. In the past four years, he has always just numbed himself with continuous study and training, so as to escape from the past.
After four years of evasion and four years of hard work, he has now achieved some success in his studies! Just as Master said, everything that can be taught has been taught to him.
Before he went up the mountain, the only thing he did well in martial arts was to occasionally practice basic skills to maintain the flexibility of his body. Otherwise, it is estimated that a strong person like Cheng Jigong would not have the confidence to teach Hengyu.
Of course, in fact, Hengyu didn't come up the mountain to learn much, except for the internal skills that seem to be a bit chicken now, that is, he practiced the sword moves on the sword book every day. And Heng Yuxue's sword book is no longer one or two. As long as he can smoothly use a complete set of sword moves on the sword book, Cheng Jigong will give him the next sword book.
Master Cheng Jigong once taught Hengyu that although Hengyu practiced like this, he rarely achieved useful growth in combat effectiveness in the short term, but it was equivalent to accumulating talent for Hengyu. Once Hengyu has actual combat experience, then his force value will definitely skyrocket.
Swordsmanship, in fact, most of the time there is no strict level demarcation, just a rough judgment in order to distinguish the technical level. Of course, in fact, from the perspective of swordsmanship skills, the swordsmanship realm can be divided into sword practice, martial sword, sword dance, and sword. Among the four realms, sword training is the easiest entry, and it is not divided into small stages. However, the next three realms are becoming more and more distinct. It is divided into three, six, and nine small stages.
The entry is practice, and it is the first realm of swordsmanship, and what Hengyu is doing now is to perfect this realm. In the four years of study. Hengyu continued to study and practice different sword scores and sword moves, which made him almost perfect in this realm, and even more perfect than Xu higher-level swordsmen in this realm. Master is sometimes full of praise when he sees it.
