Chapter 18: The way of the sword

Views:

Senior brother is indeed a senior senior brother. After the master said so, he untied the long sword from his waist and handed it over.

The master didn't feel embarrassed at all, took the sword to look at it, and praised the elder brother: "The sword is well maintained."

This Xiaodong didn't quite understand. Of course, the sword should be treated well, but this is a sword and not a kitten or puppy. Where does the word "raise" come from

The master looked at the scabbard, and slowly pulled out the sword worn by the senior brother.

Brother's sword is extraordinarily light and agile, Xiaodong thinks it is quite reasonable to say that the sword is like a person. For example, Eldest Brother himself is thin and long. Brother Jiang's sword is much wider than ordinary swords, and the blade is very heavy. Xiaodong tried to lift it, but it was a little hanging with one hand, so he had to lift it with two hands.

When the sword was unsheathed, there was a long and clear sound of the sword. The blade trembled endlessly. There was a layer of white shimmer on the sword. Downstream is uncertain.

Xiaodong's attention was completely attracted by the sword, and he couldn't bear to blink.

It was also the first time he saw the sword unsheathed.

When I went to visit my uncle's grave that day, the elder brother was afraid that he would slip and fall, so he asked him to hold the scabbard. At that time, I only felt a little pain in my hand, but when I came back, I saw two red marks on the palm of my hand, but I didn't pay attention to the appearance of the sword at that time.

"The sword is pretty good." Senior Liu was finally willing to say a few more words this time, and nodded slightly to the senior brother to show his approval: "Compared to the last time I saw you, I have improved a lot."

Eldest brother bowed slightly, and didn't show any joy because he was praised: "Thank you, senior."

The master smiled and waved Jianxin twice, with a very chic attitude. As the sword energy passed by, a piece of ice rock not far away was split into two parts: "It's quite easy. Come on, show your sword, I haven't seen your sword for many years."

Senior Liu slowly untied the sword case on his back, and then opened it.

Both the master and the senior brother were surprised by this.

There was nothing in the sword box.

The master asked in surprise, "Where is your sword?"

Senior Liu used to be nicknamed "Sword Crazy". Except for the sword, this person didn't care about anything. The sword was more important than his own life, and he never left his body day and night. When he came, the master saw that he was carrying the sword box, of course he thought the sword was in the box, who would have thought that it would be empty after opening it.

"I've got it in one place."

The master was even more puzzled: "Why?"

Not only because letting the sword leave his body is an incredible thing for him. Even more strange, since the sword is not by his side, why is he walking around with an empty sword case on his back

Xiaodong also felt that the sword discussion this time...was it a bit too much

Master didn't bring a sword, Senior Liu simply brought an empty sword case.

I really don't know what the elders and masters think, does it mean that to be a master, you have to have a weird and weird temper

"My sword was found by myself, and I forged it bit by bit. It can be said that I am not familiar with that sword. Even if I close my eyes, the shape of the sword is clearly there. In the sea of my heart. If the sword leaves my body, I can even feel where it is, and the sword is inseparable from me."

"I know this, and everyone in the world knows it." The master asked, "Then what's going on with you?"

"It's nothing. I used to discuss swords with someone many years ago... The person's surname is Zhou, and you probably recognize it."

"Surname Zhou? No, I'm afraid I don't know it, but I've heard of it."

"When I saw him, he was almost blind in both eyes, his whole body was paralyzed, and he couldn't even speak clearly."

Xiaodong seemed to be listening to a bible.

A person who is paralyzed and unable to speak, how can he talk about swords

"The results of it?"

Senior Liu said simply: "I lost."

This made it even more difficult for Xiaodong to understand, how did Senior Liu lose to a man who was blind, paralyzed and unable to speak

"I have also heard about Brother Zhou. Although he failed, he pointed out a path that no one has ever traveled before." The master was horrified when he said this, and looked at Senior Liu and said, "Is it true you also?"

"That's right. After the sword discussion, I was thinking that the path he took was right, but he was groping forward and couldn't find the right way... He told me, it's better to seal the sword first, and wait until something happens. One day I feel that I don’t need it anymore, and when I get it back when it’s the same with or without a sword, maybe I can realize more than him.”

The master seemed a little moved by these words, and the eldest brother also had a thoughtful look on his face, only Xiaodong didn't understand at all.

only…

This talk about swords seems to be completely different from what he thought before.

In the past, Xiaodong only thought that Discussion of Swords was a competition of martial arts. It depends on whose moves are exquisite, who has deep skills... Anyway, it depends on who wins.

But Master and Senior Liu are really talking about it, and talking about it is also talking about it.

The reason behind this, Xiaodong, who has just become a teacher, doesn't understand, but it seems that the senior brother can understand a little bit.

No wonder the master only asked the elder brother to follow, and most of them would not understand if others followed, and it was useless to come.

The master and Senior Liu said a few more words, neither of them intended to fight, but let the elder brother show a set of sword skills.

This set of swordsmanship is of course not the entry-level swordsmanship that Xiaodong learned, and he has never seen his senior brother perform it. The top of Lunjian Peak was covered with ice and snow, and the sword energy swirled vertically and horizontally, bringing out the brilliance like the wings of a big eagle. The afterimage of the sword was connected into one piece, so that Xiaodong couldn't see where the sword was and where the person was.

Brother is not like this at all when he usually practices.

Xiaodong was so dazzled by the sight that he opened his mouth so wide that he forgot to close it.

Big brother is so powerful...

Our swordsmanship turns out to be so powerful...

I really don't know when he will be able to learn such a skill as the elder brother.

Xiaodong remembered that the master once said that the master's swordsmanship is just a first glimpse, and it is still the first glimpse when it is so powerful. I really don't know what it will be like when it is perfect.

The master talked with Senior Liu for a while, then sat on the stone chair beside him and rested for a while. Senior Liu called the elder brother over, and carefully pointed out the key points of several sword techniques to him, the elder brother listened very seriously.

Senior Liu was obviously very satisfied with him: "You are fine."

The big brother was praised, and the master was honored, and said with a smile: "His character is rare. Sometimes, this talent is far less important than character. Many times, because of poor character, the talent is often buried. Good character, Only then can we go further on this road.”

"That's right. When you and I were young, we were not as calm and open-minded as him. At that time, we felt that as long as we had a sword in hand, we could go anywhere, and even poke a hole in the sky."

The master glanced at him: "As the saying goes, the older you are, the less courageous you are. Up to now, you still have the vigor and determination of the past, and I have long since lost my ambition. I just want to teach a few apprentices, and my wish is enough." .”

"You have successors, I should envy you."

Speaking of descendants, the master couldn't help asking him: "Are you really planning to find a descendant? But I don't think the three you brought this time seem to be suitable embryos."

"If they want to follow, let them follow." Senior Liu didn't want to say more about it: "Successor... Even I am still confused now, how should I teach my apprentice? Wouldn't that be a misleading disciple? Maybe I There will be no heirs in this lifetime."

It seems that Senior Liu really doesn't like the three juniors he brought, Senior Brother Jiang is right.

Xiaodong didn't quite understand what they said about sword techniques and mind techniques, and he lost his mind after a while.

The eldest brother stood by, but listened very attentively. The snow began to fall again from the sky, and the snow flakes covered his hair and shoulders with a layer of white, and even his eyebrows and eyelashes were also stained with snow particles.

Senior brother's eyebrows are thick and handsome, as if someone dipped a pen in ink and carefully sketched it on paper.

Xiaodong watched the elder brother's calm expression, and gradually became fascinated.

Brother, the eyelashes are so long... Longer than the girl. Snow particles cling to his eyelashes, black and white complement each other, showing how clean and clear his eyes are.

Xiaodong couldn't help raising his hand, wanting to wipe off the snow particles for him.

With such a movement in his heart, he quickly retreated from the dreamland of ice and snow, the world in front of him whirled and danced, and Xiaodong woke up in his own room with a movement of his hands and feet.

It was warm inside the house, and it was still dark outside. The candles left by the bed have not yet burned out. Taking advantage of the light, Xiaodong sat up holding the quilt.

Everything in the dream was so clear and so real. For a while, he couldn't tell which part was real, just now and now.

Xiaodong rubbed his face vigorously twice to wake himself up a little more.

He especially wanted someone to talk to right now.

But the person he wants to see the most right now is on the top of Lunjian Peak.

From long ago, he often dreamed. Sometimes the people and things in the dream are familiar to him, and sometimes they are completely strange and have never been seen before.

When I was young, I was still ignorant, and most of what I saw and heard in my dreams I didn't understand, and I couldn't remember it. Even if I wanted to say it, I was in a mess, and my words didn't make sense.

It seems that the dream became clearer and clearer, and it started when he arrived at Huiliu Mountain. To be precise, it was after the senior brother returned to the mountain after he fell ill with a high fever.

Clear like a dream.

If it was just a dream, then how come Brother Jiang's hand oil really came back

But if it wasn't a dream, what would it be

His uncle is gone, and he has no other relatives, so he couldn't find any relatives or elders.

What the hell is going on here? What was he seeing in his dream

Xiaodong beat his head twice in distress.

Although this matter seems to be harmless now, it can still let him see a lot of what he wants to see...

By the way, what he saw seemed to be what he desperately wanted to see.

Last time he saw the brothers practicing kung fu, this time he saw the master and Senior Liu discussing Jianfeng. (to be continued)
