swallow a dragon ball

Chapter 24 The First Lecture【For further reading】

A pass somewhere in Panlong Mountain.

Yu Youquan, who had already taken a bath and changed into a set of clean clothes, was sitting by the fire and roasting a wild goat.

Yu Youquan grilled it very carefully, and the time interval between flipping each time was almost exactly the same.

In his hands, the goat meat reacted magically with the flames, and the grilling time was just right every time, making it shiny, golden, and crispy.

The intoxicating fragrance is overflowing, and the sound of oil sizzling stimulates people's vision, smell and hearing in all directions, and makes people move their index fingers for a while.

Even the giant horned viper couldn't bear the temptation, making a hissing sound.

Seeing this, Zheng Xuancheng couldn't help but smiled and twirled his beard.

His disciple is really a great fortune. Even if this giant horned viper is far inferior to He Qianxing's unicorn, it is definitely a rare spirit beast in the world.

Looking at its aura, there is a faint air of a dragon.

For some small aristocratic families, having this spirit beast can even guarantee the family's trouble-free existence for hundreds of years.

Looking at Yu Youquan again, after bathing and changing clothes, there was no longer any sign of the little savage before.

With fair skin, clear eyebrows, and extraordinary appearance, there is a hint of the air of a handsome young man at a young age.

In addition, his eyes are firm and energetic, and there is a kind of maturity that does not match his age, which adds a bit of charm.

Zheng Xuancheng didn't judge people by appearance, but he was very happy to have an apprentice who looked like a phoenix and looked like a dragon.

Seeing that the barbecue was almost done, Zheng Xuancheng stretched out his hand, took out all kinds of seasonings from the storage bag one by one, and then taught Yu Youquan how to use and measure these seasonings.

Yu Youquan has now become accustomed to the fact that his master has a storage bag.

Because the suit he is currently wearing was given to him by Master from the storage bag.

It's just that the clothes are Master's change of clothes, so the size is inevitably a little inappropriate. They have been crudely altered, but they look a bit nondescript.

Even so, Yu Youquan is still quite satisfied.

It is really great to take a bath with peace of mind and then change into a set of clean clothes. At this moment, it is a real fairy enjoyment.

Clothes soaked in blood are indeed uncomfortable to wear, even though the blood is dragon's blood!

"Master please."

Yu Youquan handed the divided wild lamb meat to Zheng Xuancheng, who accepted it with a smile.

After taking a bite, it was a little hot, but the taste was quite good, and I was more and more satisfied.

Afterwards, Yu Youquan cut off half of the mutton and gave it to the giant horned viper. The giant horned viper was extremely happy and swallowed the roasted mutton in one mouthful, slowly savoring it.

This is naturally not enough for it, but it likes to taste the taste of cooked food!

Since adding various seasonings, he likes it even more!

I have to say, human beings really enjoy it, it feels like it will never go back!
Yu Youquan tasted a mouthful of mutton, and his brows were filled with happiness, adding various seasonings made it different.

This is the life a person should live!
Zheng Xuancheng was thinking while eating the barbecue.

His apprentice is very strange!
On the one hand, he despises the rich and powerful, and has no awe in his heart. He can kill the Longmen He family without hesitation, and proposes a duel on the top of the imperial city without hesitation, even the emperor doesn't pay attention.

But on the other hand, it seems that they are extraordinarily well-mannered and respectful!

And etiquette is essentially "rules", which itself contains various rules and regulations of the monarch, minister, minister, father, son and son.

These are two very contradictory qualities, but they are perfectly compatible in Yu Youquan!
The heart is like a fierce horse on the plain, easy to let go but hard to take back.

The best reference for this point is the refugees who took up arms. Before taking up weapons, they all abided by their duties and honesty, but when they took up weapons, they immediately became brutal and abnormal.

Whenever you open the history books, any refugee riot is often full of bones.

No matter where they wandered, they were bound to be accompanied by slaughter, rape and looting!
What's even more strange is that Yu Youquan clearly broke through all the rules and regulations, but his heart seemed to be easily bound again.

It is even more difficult to imagine that this trait will appear in a boy who is only ten years old.

Zheng Xuancheng didn't know how to teach him for a moment!

After dinner.

Zheng Xuancheng twirled his beard and said, "Juli, I know that you have had a hard time as a teacher, but after apprenticeship, you don't have to work so hard. You are still young, so you can do more things that you should do at your age!"

During the short time of getting along with each other, Zheng Xuancheng saw many things.

In contrast, Yu Youquan also saw many things.

Even if he doesn't have much choice in the matter of apprenticeship, it is still a two-way choice in essence.

If the ruler treats his ministers like brothers and feet, then the ministers will treat him like his heart;

If it is said that the fight between Zheng Xuancheng and Venerable Xuantian not long ago gave Yu Youquan a glimpse of his master's ability, and the short time they got along later gave him a glimpse of his heart.

At least from the present point of view, his master is still trustworthy!
Acting like a child?
The body may be younger, but the mark of time on the soul is really difficult to eliminate!
"Thank you Master, but I think there is nothing wrong with showing maturity. I like myself very much now!"

"Oh? Be specific!"

"Children will not understand true maturity, although they envy adults and long to grow up early; adults will also lose their innocence and begin to envy the innocence of childhood. But no matter how much children imitate, it is impossible to understand what a real adult is. , and once a person grows up and matures, it will never be possible to return to innocence, and everything can be done freely!"

"What a free and easy way!"

Zheng Xuancheng applauded immediately.

These four words simply spoke to his heart!
Only those who are free, have nothing to borrow, nothing to achieve, it is natural!

On the contrary, he felt that he had been in a cage for a long time and could not be free. He wanted to teach his apprentice a lesson, but he never thought that it would be himself who benefited a lot.

He is indeed an unparalleled genius who opened the gate of heaven and attracted the resonance of heaven and earth. Sure enough, he cannot be taught as an ordinary disciple!
Zheng Xuancheng: "What is a sword in your eyes?"

What is a sword?
What a big question!
Besides, is Master testing his wisdom and understanding?

The descriptions about swords in his previous life could not help appearing in his mind, such as "a gentleman in a soldier", "there is a way to win without a move", "the way of the sentient sword, the way of the ruthless sword", "the sword of the common people, the sword of the princes, the sword of the emperor". On the contrary, he has a kind of difficulty in choosing.

In the end, Yu Youquan found that he didn't seem to have a deep understanding of "sword".

Either it's just copying others' opinions, or it's simply because I watched a lot of film and television works, and I simply think that Jian is very handsome, so I naturally feel that Jian is very powerful.

but.

These things don't seem to be his own!

After thinking about it for a while, Yu Youquan finally gave his answer, "Aside from all the man-made characters and symbols, a sword is a sword, a sharp weapon for killing people, and there is no essential difference from weapons such as knives, guns, halberds, sticks, spears and axe. !"

Zheng Xuancheng was noncommittal, but looking at Yu Youquan, his brows and eyes were slightly raised, and there was a bright luster in his eyes, as if he was admiring and amazed.

Is Yu Youquan's answer wonderful?

Not also!

On the contrary, it is very, very simple, and it is the simplest truth.

but.

In the eyes of fantasy-loving young people, the sword is not just a sword, but a tool for showing off and fighting.

In the eyes of middle-aged or elderly people, they are good teachers, and they often habitually endow swords with various qualities.

What is the sword of the gentleman, the sword of the kingly way, the sword of the country... It can't be wrong, but it is also easy to mislead the underachievers!
Seeing that the master did not comment, Yu Youquan inevitably became nervous, as if he had revisited the past when he was a student and waited for the teacher to review after handing in the exam papers.

Zheng Xuancheng smiled and said, "Remember what you said just now, a sword is a weapon of war, and it is not fundamentally different from a sword, spear, halberd, stick, spear and axe. But people can indeed endow swords with character. The sword in the hands of a gentleman is the sword of benevolence. , you are number one in the world, and the sword in your hand is the number one sword in the world!"

Everything Yu Youquan thinks about.

Doesn't this mean that the sword is an extension of a person? !
"What you have to do in practicing swordsmanship is nothing more than heart to body to sword. This is like writing an article. Maybe you have a lot of ink in your belly, but it is difficult for me to write my heart. The final article and what I want to judge Ruoyunni, this is a typical case where the mind has not arrived at the body.”

"In contrast, the sword is from the heart to the body. For example, when you want to stab the enemy's heart, you stab the waist and abdomen. This is essentially that the fire is not enough, and the sword has not become a part of the body."

"These two are actually small problems. Do you know why?"

Yu Youquan thought for a while and said, "In the two examples mentioned by Master, the heart has arrived. The heart can also be understood as knowledge, wisdom, desire, and intention. When the heart has reached the Tao, it is not far away. As long as you are willing to study hard and practice hard, sooner or later you will be able to master the skills." It can be achieved!”

"It's like writing a prose and writing a poem. When the level of thought is high, even if the level of the prose is a little low, it can still move people's hearts. But if the level of thought is poor, even if the prose is gorgeous and beautiful, it will be just a cliché!"

Zheng Xuancheng twirled his beard and laughed. He felt so happy as a teacher when he met a disciple with a charming and exquisite heart.

"As a teacher, I will pass on to you a set of "Sword of Turning Clouds and Rain". If Ju Li can do it from the heart to the body to the sword, then the teacher will give you a surprise!"

surprise?

Yu Youquan immediately looked forward to it!
