This Is Exactly How Cultivation Works

Chapter 45: Big Brother and Little Brother

Views:

When they were at Dasheng Pass, Zhu Yan told Lu Bei that some inner disciples of Lingxiao Sword Sect would come to check on his character in the near future.

If he is a good child with good character and academic performance, he will have the opportunity to return to Lingxiao Sword Sect.

During this period of time, Lu Bei was muttering to himself, it was said that he would come in the near future, but a month has passed and the person still hasn't arrived. Was he caught by the Huangji Sect for speeding in the air, or was he in a rear-end collision

Now seeing this brother angrily using his ultimate move to fry fish, I finally understand the reason.

As a fisherman, he would cast his rod whenever he saw a river and would stop when he encountered water. He came all the way from Yuezhou and it took him less than half a year to be very punctual.

It's understandable, it's understandable.

"My name is Lu Bei. May I know which senior brother you are here with?" Lu Bei asked while clasping his fists.

The man in black was feeling awkward, so he dispersed his sword wheel and said in return, "Ling Xiao Sword Sect, Lin Yu."

"It turns out to be Senior Brother Lin. I have heard of you for a long time."

"Brother Lu, don't joke. I'm just an unknown person, how can I last so long..."

Lin Yu shook his head repeatedly. Due to muscle memory, he habitually swung the club. When he came to his senses, he was embarrassed again: "Brother Lu, don't blame me. This is my only hobby. I can't give it up. Wait for me. The last club will be over soon."

"No hurry, I'll go fishing with you, brother." Lu Bei said with a smile.

"Hey, Junior Brother Lu also likes fishing?"

Lin Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and didn't care whether Lu Bei was just being polite. He held the rod in one hand and took out the fishing rod and folding stool with the other hand, and said with a smile: "That's great. You and I are brothers who have just met for the first time. I was worried that there was nothing to talk about. We can get closer while fishing and chatting."

"Well, that's not necessary. I just touch the pole occasionally."

“Then we should fish even more!”

Lin Yu said with a serious face: "Excessive agitation leads to confusion, while extreme tranquility leads to clarity. For practitioners like you and me, we should avoid being too impatient and too impatient. Brother, every time I go fishing, my mind becomes as still as still water. At that time, I empty myself, unload my burdens, and regain the tranquility deep in my heart. Even the problems that bothered me in my practice are solved because my thoughts are clear."

Lu Bei: “…”

That makes sense, but he has a question: who was going to blow up the fish pond just now

"The benefits of fishing are more than that, Junior Brother, look."

Lin Yu raised his hand and pointed at the float: "Being quiet can cultivate one's character, being frugal can cultivate one's virtue. Fishing combines movement and stillness, and the process of waiting for the fish to bite the hook coincides with this principle, which is very helpful in tempering perseverance and endurance. To be honest, fishing has played an indispensable role in my current realm of cultivation."

Lu Bei: “…”

What you said is that Senior Sister Bai was the first disciple thirty years ago. She is not a fisherman, but she still beat you down anyway.

"Junior brother, you are silent, have you realized it?"

"After enlightenment, be calm and avoid being impatient. This is not fishing, this is spiritual practice."

"Brother, you are very insightful. Come, take the pole. Today, you and I will comprehend the great Dao together!"

"… "

Lu Bei had no choice but to sit next to Lin Yu and tell him frankly that he liked eating fish more than fishing.

As soon as Lu Bei picked up the fishing rod, he felt something was wrong. He touched it, looked at it, and his face immediately turned embarrassed.

As expected of a veteran fisherman, even a spare fishing rod of blue quality makes his cousin's heirloom chain mail look terrible.

On the water surface, two floats were motionless, as if the picture was frozen.

Lu Bei was quite bored. Seeing that Lin Yu was concentrating so hard that he even breathed carefully, he took the initiative to talk to him, "Brother Lin, Sister Zhu told me before that Sister Bai was punished for not leaving the mountain for three years because of me. How is she now?"

"It's good. Junior Sister Bai is a quiet person. She feels comfortable painting every day."

Lin Yu said casually: "Don't worry about her. My parents treat her like their own daughter. They treat her better than they treat me. The three-year house arrest is just talk. They won't do anything to her."

"Father and mother?!"

Lu Bei's eyelids jumped: "Excuse me, Senior Brother Lin, who is your father's mother?"

"My father is the head of Lingxiao Sword Sect, and my mother is the head of Lingxiao Sword Sect's Law School, and she is also Junior Sister Bai's master."

Lin Yu scratched his nose in confusion: "Why, didn't I say that just now?"

No, your mouth is good for nothing except fishing.

Lu Bei's mouth twitched as he suddenly thought of a possibility: "May I ask Senior Brother Lin, among our generation of disciples, are there any who entered the sect earlier than you?"

"No, I was born the earliest and became your disciple the earliest. You can call me Senior Brother."

"Then...are there any people who started later than me?"

"No, Lingxiao Sword Sect already has four generations of disciples. Among the three generations of disciples, you are the last to become a disciple, so you are the junior brother."

Lu Bei: …

Senior Brother, Senior Sister, Junior Brother...

The relationship is simple yet complex, and somewhat familiar, as if foreshadowing something.

"Junior Brother Lu, don't just stand there, the fish has taken the bait, quickly pull up the rod, quickly pull up... Alas, it ran away."

The fishing line was stretched straight, but nothing was pulled up. Lin Yuya was so happy that he patted Lu Bei on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Don't be discouraged. You suffer from inexperience. Focus on your efforts and keep working hard. Sooner or later, you will be as experienced as me, your senior brother."

An experienced airman like you

By the way, could Lingxiao Sword Sect be an air force base

There was no conflict between the eldest senior brother and the younger junior brother, but with the addition of a senior sister, everything became completely different.

Lu Bei lost interest in fishing and asked tentatively, "Brother Lin, what do you think of Sister Bai?"

"Junior Sister Bai is beautiful and has a high level of understanding. She has the highest level of cultivation among the three generations of disciples. Everyone admires her very much."

Lin Yu stared at the water and said nonchalantly, "My father always praised Junior Sister Bai in front of me, saying that we should be close relatives and act quickly, otherwise things might change. I was so annoyed that I pursued Junior Sister Bai and even learned to paint to please her."

"Then what?"

Lu Bei's eyes suddenly became sharp. He thought that since his senior brother had come from afar, he must host a banquet tonight to entertain him. He would let the little foxes go to the back mountain to pick several hundred kilograms of red umbrellas and set up a table of delicious mountain delicacies.

Also, it's no wonder that the head of the sect never mentioned recruiting him back to Lingxiao Sword Sect. It was because of Qingmei's psychological trauma. He was afraid that his eldest senior brother's son would not be able to compete and be taken away by the younger junior brother who was sent from heaven.

He involves the younger generation in the grievances of the older generation, is narrow-minded and petty, how can such a person be in charge of a faction

Bah, so cheap!

"It's too difficult. I haven't been moved for 30 years. If it were fish, I don't know how many I would have caught."

Lin Yu sighed, "Then I gave up. Junior brother, you also go fishing. What's the point of painting? It's boring. Fishing is more in line with the realm of Tao. As a result, my father told me that Junior Sister Bai was testing me. Sincerity can move mountains and rocks. As long as I don't give up, I will definitely be able to impress Junior Sister Bai."

"Well, the master is quite optimistic."

"I think so too. Junior Sister Bai is good, but she doesn't fish. Just for this reason, there is no possibility for her and I."

Lin Yu sighed and said in confusion, "Besides, Junior Sister Bai and I are too familiar with each other. My parents treat her as their daughter, and I treat her as my sister. You don't know that I was so embarrassed when I gave her flowers for the first time."

"Big Brother, this is not your fault. It's all because Senior Sister Bai is too arrogant. There are many fish in water. I believe you will find your soulmate." Lu Bei blessed sincerely.

"I hope so. In fact, whether or not a cultivator has a partner is secondary. It is more comfortable to be alone and free from worries."

Lin Yu said indifferently: "If you insist that I get married, that's fine too. I don't ask for much, as long as we have similar interests."

"Yes, there must be elegant people who like to go fishing with you when they have free time."

Lu Bei smiled and said that he would not have a feast tonight. He went to Emei Sect to get five geese and cooked personally to entertain Lin Yu who came from afar.

Having said that, he is worthy of being the eldest senior brother, his manners and temperament are impeccable, and he felt extremely close to him the first time he saw him.

Now it's closer.

It doesn’t matter whether he goes to Lingxiao Sword Sect or not, Lu Bei is convinced and accepts this senior brother.
