Chapter 52
I admit that my novice tasks were a little wild.

It's as if you put on your dungaree jacket, dungaree pants, put on your cotton gauntlets and wooden sword, just learned how to flat-a and thump, and then your white-bearded old village chief pats you Shoulder, tell you that you can go to slay the dragon next.

The span in between is enough to write another "Homer Epic".

But I have no turning back.

It was so easy for me, I either immediately went back to my hut, shut the door, tail tucked like a loser, whimpered, got down on my knees and begged life to let me go .

Or, I can also slaughter the dragon and bring its head to Song Wen.

This question is not that difficult to choose, is it?

What, you said I might be killed by that dragon too?
Oh, there is such a possibility, then my troubles are also solved.

So it's a deal I can't lose anyway.

I don't plan to quit halfway, even if my master said that I was wishful thinking, and said that in the past thousand years, no disciple of the Qingyun Sect could cross two small realms, one big realm, and finally reach the top ten in just a hundred days, but I still don't want to. Willing to give up.

But there are also concerns.

I'd still rather kill that dragon than be killed by it.

So I will keep asking myself in my heart, is it really too late, am I waking up too late?Could it be that even if I try my best, I still can't do it in the end?Wouldn't all the efforts be in vain?

Sure enough, [-] days is still too tight. It would be great if there were [-] more days. If there are [-] days, my confidence will be greater.

Or in the past three years, I didn't skip so many classes, I didn't let myself go, I cultivated more or less, and now I won't be dragged down so much by others, which makes people despair.

I sighed. At this moment, I can understand Susu's original mood a little bit.

Just when I was preoccupied, I suddenly heard a shout coming from the front.

It was someone practicing swords.

I'm a little curious, because the genius has just dawned, generally speaking, very few disciples of the Qingyun Sect get up so early, and even if there are diligent disciples who want to get up early to practice swords, they usually go to the sword hall.

So I followed the sound and walked over.I found the real master by the lakeside, and I stood aside and watched for a while.

He practiced very seriously, and he didn't find me until he finished using a whole set of sword moves. He put away his sword and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"It is you."

"Yeah." I nodded at him, and raised Qingyun in my hand again, "Thank you for giving me this sword, although I was not worthy of it in the past, but from now on I won't be able to. In the graduation exam, I plan to enter the top ten together with it."

"Ambition!" The old guard praised with a thumbs up, and then said after a pause, "You don't need to say thank you, don't be so rude, you also helped me clean up those candles on the ground that night, I am very happy too. Glad you two get along well."

"What about you, why are you practicing swords so early in the morning? I remember that Qing Yunzong's guards don't have swordsmanship tests." I asked him.

These people say they are guards, but in fact they mostly do chores on weekdays, helping the teachers and teachers in the sect to run errands, grasping the discipline of the disciples and so on, they don't have any requirements for cultivation or swordsmanship, and the salary is naturally not high.

In fact, in order to save money, most sects recruit guards during the Qi training period, and at best they can deal with thieves.

If there is a powerful enemy coming, he has his own head, the elders will come forward to meet the enemy, and if necessary, they can open the mountain protection formation.

The guard's face became even redder, and he hesitated for a long time before saying, "Hey, I... I want to build a foundation. I'm a bit unwilling.

"A few days ago, I was lying on the bed, wondering if I was going to be like this all my life. I closed my eyes, and my head was full of those bold words I said when I was a child. At that time, I really didn't know the heights of heaven and earth. No one can do jobs below Lingshi, and those who haven't been promoted after three years of work are trash...

"Thinking about it now, it really makes people angry more and more. When I first started working, I could only earn less than 20 spirit stones a month. After working for more than [-] years, it only increased to [-], and I was still standing still. Not even the captain.

"It made me want to go back and slap myself a few times, but ah, I also miss the self-confidence of that stinky boy. In fact, we were all like this at that time. Everyone seemed to have written on their faces. Hopeful, fearless, swollen to explode.

"It's not like now, being bent over by the pressure of life. Isn't there an old saying that says that when you are 30 years old, you will hit a wall everywhere, and you will almost know how much you have. , How much I can bear, so I should accept my fate.

"I used to think the same way. When I was young, I tried so many times but failed to build a foundation. Now that I am over 40, it stands to reason that I don't have much hope. But just a few days ago, I read a book , I saw a sentence above - the best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, followed by now.

"Ah, the moment I saw this sentence, I don't know why the eldest and the younger burst out crying all of a sudden, as if someone whispered in my ear, Huang Ergou, wake up, it's not too late, it's not too late It's late... don't you have unfinished business, how can you sleep in all day.

"That little fire inside of me just sprang up. I was taken aback because I thought it had died out years ago, and guess what, there was still a faint glow in that ashes. The spark is always burning, waiting to be awakened."

The elder brother guard pointed to his chest, "Since that day, it has become hotter and hotter here, and I have started to get up early to practice swords again. There is no such thing as standing at thirty in this world, you are all lying to yourself.

"You always tell yourself it's too late, it's impossible, my aptitude is too poor, my nature is dull... But these are not reasons why you can't do it, they are just excuses for your laziness, you always think about these things , then there is no way to start, take your first step.

"It doesn't matter how others laugh at you and look down on you, as long as you haven't given up on yourself, it's never time to accept your fate!
"I will start practicing from now on. It doesn't matter if I slow down. When I am 50 years old, I will be a foundation cultivator. It doesn't matter if I don't. I will practice until I am 60 years old. If I am not [-] years old, I will be [-] years old.

"You have also heard that story when you were young. There was a practitioner named Jiang Shang who practiced until he was 70 years old and was still in the Qi training stage. He made a living by fishing. In the end, he became a blockbuster, stepped into the realm of transforming gods, opened up borders and established a country. Great achievement.

"You think if he also believes in the set of nonsense about standing at thirty, then when he is 50 or [-] years old, he thinks that I will be like this in this life, and he will not be forced to practice hard. If he is drunk today, he will be drunk today. Will he still become the Jiang Taigong admired by countless people in later generations?

"After figuring this out, I became more relaxed, and I didn't worry about whether it's too late or not. The practice is over!"

 Let's encourage each other.
