"Flowers are like life, plum blossoms are proud, chrysanthemums are noble and pure, and they bloom in the season when other flowers wither, so the first impression will make people feel that they are different. But peony is different, its blooming time is not unique, many flowers will It blooms in a nearby time period, but in this season when hundreds of flowers are in full bloom, it is still able to overwhelm the crowd. This is a kind of tolerance, a kind of fearlessness. Plum blossoms and chrysanthemums are unique, but if they can stand out among all living beings, that is The other one is different, the kingly way is different." The middle-aged man said.
The young man half understood what he heard, and looked up at the peonies outside the stone pavilion. They were beautiful, but if they saw too much, they would make people feel aesthetically tired.
After thinking about it, the young man said: "I still like the cherry blossoms in our hometown. They are not as gorgeous, but they are just as beautiful, and they wither at the most beautiful time. They will not slowly wither and wither like the flowers here. The twilight of a hero."
"The brilliance of a moment is of course the most beautiful, but life is not just a moment, and the cherry blossoms are not only in bloom for a year." The middle-aged man said after drinking a cup of tea.
The young man hurriedly brewed another cup for the middle-aged man, but after the middle-aged man drank it, he said, "Today's tea is still a bit too hot."
"Teacher, I've been out for so long, you always let me make tea, when will you teach me the way of swordsman?" the boy couldn't help asking.
The middle-aged man smiled slightly: "You have been with me for seventeen days since we set off, and you can bear it until now before asking. It can be seen that your father's teachings are quite different."
"Teacher, please clarify." The boy saluted.
"My way of swordsmanship is a bit different from your family's. What I pay attention to is the word enlightenment. I have taught you for seventeen days, and you haven't realized it yet. When you understand it, it's when I teach you moves." Middle-aged said the man.
"You taught me for seventeen days?" The young man was slightly startled, looked at the middle-aged man with some doubts and said, "But during these seventeen days, we have been traveling, and you either asked me to do chores or make tea. Where did you teach me anything?"
"So you haven't realized it yet." The middle-aged man smiled.
After all, a young man is a young man, and the seventeen days seemed to have exhausted all his patience, so he couldn't help retorting: "If I knew everything, my father wouldn't let me worship you as a teacher, Also ask the teacher to teach me."
Saying that, the young man bowed down in front of the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man shook his head slightly: "Your realm is not enough."
The young man was a little unconvinced, raised his head and said: "I am twelve years old, and I have already been promoted to a legend. I once went to Dongtian Academy to compete with the top ten geniuses in swordsmanship. I have fought all over Dongtian Academy. No one is my opponent. If you say that I If the realm is not enough, who else is enough?"
"After all, it's just a competition, and it doesn't explain anything. Besides, the world is huge, and Dongtian Academy is not equal to the whole world." The middle-aged man said lightly.
Seeing that he couldn't impress the middle-aged man no matter what he said, the boy couldn't help feeling angry, but his teacher was too famous, and his tutor didn't allow him to contradict the teacher too much.
There was a suffocating fire in his heart that had no place to vent. When the young man was feeling uncomfortable, he suddenly thought of Zhou Wen on the other side of the stone pavilion, so he stood up, walked up to Zhou Wen, bowed slightly and asked, "Excuse me, are you a native of this place?" person?"
"No, I'm here to go to school." Zhou Wen replied.
The boy's eyes lit up when he heard this, he looked at Zhou Wen and asked, "Which college are you a student from?"
"Sunset College." Seeing that he was still polite, Zhou Wen answered casually.
"I've heard about Sunset Academy. The Federation can rank in the top ten, so it should be the best academy here?" The boy's eyes brightened even more.
"It should be." Zhou Wen said.
After hearing this, the young man turned to the middle-aged man and asked: "Teacher, Sunset College is one of the top ten colleges in the federation, and its ranking is still higher than Dongtian College. They don't know who I am, so naturally they won't let me. If I If you can defeat the best student of Dongtian Academy, will you be able to teach me kendo?"
The middle-aged man just smiled and said nothing, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.
Seeing that the teacher didn't answer, the young man saluted and said, "Then I will be the teacher and you agree."
As he said that, the young man got up and walked up to Zhou Wen and asked, "Excuse me, who is the strongest student at Sunset Academy?"
"Is it the strongest?" Zhou Wen really thought about it, and then replied: "If it is recognized as the first, it should be the president of the student union, right?"
"What's his name?" the boy asked.
"Wei Ge." Zhou Wen replied.
"Wei Ge?" The young man said silently a few times, then he walked up to the middle-aged man and said: "Teacher, I'm going to the Sunset Academy to challenge their strongest student. After I come back victorious, you should be able to teach me Do you know the way of the sword?"
"There is a student of Sunset College here, so why should you look far away." The middle-aged man glanced at Zhou Wen and said with a smile.
The boy said: "The ones I want to defeat are the strongest students of Sunset Academy, not ordinary students."
"But in my opinion, he is better than you." The middle-aged man said.
The young man naturally refused to believe it, looked at Zhou Wen and asked, "What level are you at Sunset College?"
"It's very weak, so it's not popular. You should go to Sunset College to find Wei Ge." Zhou Wen said, he was not interested in dealing with this kid.
"Teacher, it seems that this time, you have been mistaken." The boy looked at the middle-aged man and said.
The middle-aged man ignored the young man, looked at Zhou Wen and said with a smile, "Little friend, may I ask where you ranked in the last unified examination of Sunset College?"
"Barely ranked tenth." Zhou Wen replied.
The young man looked at Zhou Wen again after hearing this, nodded for a while and said, "Tenth is indeed a bit short, but since the teacher has spoken, then I will defeat you first, and then challenge the number one Wei Ge."
As he spoke, the boy made a strange gesture and said, "Please accept my challenge."
"Sorry, I don't have time." Zhou Wen said while playing the game. He was not interested in this boy at all, nor in bullying children.
The young man couldn't help frowning slightly. Zhou Wen's attitude made him feel slighted.
"I'm Motoma Sakura, please enlighten me." The young man put on a saber posture, holding the handle of the saber, as if he would draw a saber at any moment.
Zhou Wen has already refused, there is no need to say it a second time, simply ignore him, and play games on his own.
A trace of anger flashed in Motozhen Sakura's eyes, and she drew out the knife fiercely, only to see the light of the knife flickering, slashing towards Zhou Wen like lightning bolts.
Zhou Wen was still playing the game, and he didn't even raise his eyelids. In the end, those saber lights just slashed beside him. Although it looked dangerous, it didn't even hurt a piece of his clothes.
The middle-aged man's face changed slightly, he stood up and said, "Sakura, you step back, he and you are not on the same level."
