The Name of Eternity
Chapter 16: Mind and Nature
After the waitress left, Li Hao stopped playing chess and stood up and walked towards the courtyard.
Li Fu also stood up. When Li Hao stopped talking to him, he returned to his expressionless military appearance, like a silent shadow, following Li Hao like a shadow.
He had asked the servants in the mansion about the previous assassinations, learned about them carefully, and felt a little scared.
Especially when he was playing chess with this child these days, he knew even more clearly that the position he was sitting in now was the position where the assassin had been.
There is only one chessboard apart.
Such a distance is enough to kill a child in an instant while he is full of flaws and not paying attention!
But such an assassination was actually stopped. I don't know if I should say that the assassin was incompetent, or that the senior member of the clan who took action to resolve it was too terrifying, or that this child was really lucky!
Therefore, Li Fu took this as a lesson and stayed with Li Hao even when he was eating, drinking, or sleeping. Any servant or maid who came within three feet of Li Hao would be severely scrutinized by his hawk-like eyes.
This also made the servants and maids in the courtyard complain secretly. Every time they reported something to the young master, they were so trembling that they didn't dare to raise their heads... They were almost introverted.
Seeing Li Hao approaching, Bian Ruxue, who was practicing the sword, puffed out her mouth slightly and turned sideways, as if she didn't want to be seen by Li Hao.
Li Hao looked at her aggrieved look, smiled, asked the servant to bring a small bench, brought some pastries and fresh fruits, and sat next to her to eat.
"You can't defeat others if you practice your sword half-heartedly." Li Hao said with a smile when he saw the little girl wielding the sword in a messy manner, obviously absent-minded.
Bian Ruxue's eyes suddenly turned slightly red, she stopped her sword, lowered her head and said: "Brother Hao, it would be great if you could practice. With your intelligence, you will definitely surpass me in swordsmanship and become the best person."
After practicing in the martial arts field for a year, Bian Ruxue grew up rapidly. As he grew older, his mind began to mature, and he gradually understood why the adults looked at Li Hao in that way after the bone measurement.
I also understand what Li Hao lost in that year.
Hearing Xue'er's words, Li Fu frowned slightly, and there was a trace of regret and regret in the depths of his emotionless eyes.
Isn't this a pity for the Li family and a pity for Marquis Xingwu!
Li Hao felt a little helpless. He was not sad at all, but why was this little girl sad instead.
"Don't say that."
Li Hao comforted him and said, "It's so boring to practice swordsmanship. Look at you, you are exposed to the wind and sun every day. It's winter and summer. It's so tiring. It's not like me. In the summer, I eat iced melons and play chess in the pavilion. In the winter, Huddle up under the quilt to keep warm and sleep until the sun is shining. This is called happiness! "
Li Fu couldn't help but glance at this kid, it really seemed like he could say something.
Without Marquis Xing Wu by his side, the wives of other houses were not able to discipline him strictly. When he came back, he noticed that the child's temperament was already a bit cynical.
"You are not afraid of hardship." Bian Ruxue raised her head and said.
"What do you know?"
Li Hao said angrily: "Look at me now, I am too lazy to even stand here. I will never stand if I can sit, and I will never sit if I can lie down. There is no point in eating hard, otherwise why would I want to be sweet? I am still young. , I don’t understand, just practice your sword well.”
"Don't talk nonsense."
Li Fu couldn't bear to listen anymore and couldn't help but scolded.
What the hell are you saying, there's no point in enduring hardship? The soldiers at the frontier are not suffering hardship.
As a warrior, the last thing you fear is hardship. You only fear not having talent or resources.
This kid is good. He is blessed amidst all the blessings. He has no talent and dislikes hardship. He doesn't learn well on his own. How can he lead a girl like Xue'er astray now?
Li Fu saw Bian Ruxue's talent in kendo. He was very outstanding. He would definitely achieve great achievements in kendo in the future, and would also become a protective umbrella around Li Hao. He couldn't watch this bastard kid take his own There is no future to rely on.
"Uncle Fu, I think Brother Hao is right."
Bian Ruxue quickly spoke for Li Hao.
Li Fu's eyes widened and he became even more angry. This girl listened to Li Hao too much. It would be over if she really led Li Hao into trouble.
"Don't say such nonsense to Xue'er. Boy, don't think that I don't dare to beat you. If I beat you, your father will say hello!"
Li Fu couldn't bear to lose his temper with the well-behaved little girl who had lost her parents, so he had to severely threaten Li Hao.
Li Hao smiled, knowing that he had nothing in common with this serious and rigid guy.
Moreover, the Shenjiang Mansion is a military family, and the Li family has always advocated the spirit of frugality and hardship.
Even though the ladies in each academy are well-dressed and well-fed, making them the envy of the world, with the status and wealth of the Divine General's Palace, they can actually live even more extravagantly.
Aunt He Jianlan has been eating vegetarian food for two days a week for many years. Soldiers have killed countless people. She does not believe in Buddhism. She only says that she uses this to warn herself and her children not to indulge in the prosperity and wealth and forget the duty of a soldier. Harmony.
"Yes, yes, that's what Fu Bo said."
Li Hao said to Xue'er, "Look, you've made Uncle Fu angry, so why don't you practice your sword quickly?"
Xueer blinked her little eyes and puffed her mouth slightly. It was obviously Brother Hao who caused this.
However, she did not defend herself. If she could take away Uncle Fu's anger for Li Hao, she would be happy.
Hearing Li Hao's shameless words, Li Fu almost laughed angrily and rolled his eyes. This kid is really difficult to discipline.
"Uncle Fu, please help me and give me some pointers on Xue'er's swordsmanship." Li Hao said to Li Fu.
Li Fu said calmly: "I am a knife user, not a swordsman."
"Swords and knives are similar, there is not much difference." Li Hao said with a smile.
"What do you know? Weapons must be practiced to perfection, even a slight difference will make a huge difference." Li Fu said unhappily, but then he suppressed his temper. Forget it, this kid doesn't understand martial arts, so it's normal for him to think so.
Li Hao felt helpless and had to continue eating fresh fruit, crossing his legs and watching Xue'er practice sword.
"I don't think your roundhouse is right."
Halfway through, Li Hao pretended to casually instruct Bian Ruxue, saying: "If your arms are pulled down a little more, it will look better."
"Don't talk nonsense, it will disturb Xue'er." Li Fu frowned and said.
A layman instructing an expert? This is simply outrageous!
Bian Ruxue ignored Li Fu. She was used to Li Hao's casual instructions. Although Brother Hao had not entered the martial arts, she felt that she was indeed smoother every time she practiced according to Brother Hao's instructions.
At this moment, she swung her arm down and used the whirlwind again, and it was indeed a kind of ease that she understood in her heart.
Li Fu exclaimed lightly, not because Bian Ruxue really listened to Li Hao and did so, after all, this little girl was too obedient to Li Hao, but because the posture was just as Li Hao said, a slight change, and it really made the sword more fierce.
He looked down at the boy who was eating fruit and crossing his legs in an unruly posture. Was it a coincidence?
Or did he judge based on his appearance?
"You have to use your waist. This kind of whirlwind long chop posture requires not only your hands to use force, but also your waist to drive your arms to swing out." Li Hao said again.
Bian Ruxue nodded slightly, and then performed it again. After several times in a row, she finally mastered the key points. The sword was full of wind, and it was obviously more powerful than before.
Li Fu raised his eyebrows and was surprised. Once was a coincidence, but twice was not.
Could this child really understand swords and have a talent for kendo?
Although Li Fu disliked Li Hao's temperament, he had to admit that after six months of contact, the child was very smart and had maturity and wisdom beyond his peers.
Could it be that he actually had a talent for kendo, but he couldn't show it because he couldn't practice martial arts?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken. If that was true, what a pity it would be!
With Li Hao's casual instructions, Bian Ruxue's swordsmanship gradually approached perfection.
There was no way. With Li Hao's understanding of kendo, he could record Bian Ruxue's top-grade swordsmanship in the panel with just a few glances, and then directly reach the level of perfection.
He gave instructions with the ultimate understanding to make up for the defects, and even skipped perfection. As long as Bian Ruxue mastered one or two, she could achieve a power comparable to perfection.
Then, Li Hao asked the little girl to practice the move that he had lost in the previous competition for him.
Bian Ruxue did as he was told.
Li Hao understood it at a glance, and even imagined in his mind how the other party defeated him.
However, he did not say it out loud. After all, with Li Fu by his side, it was okay for him to show off some of his kendo talent. But if he was too careful, he would look too evil.
"This sword is not good-looking. I think the downward chop here should be changed to a slope, and the elbow should be raised back."
"It is better to change from chopping to stabbing here. Don't shake your wrist."
Li Hao gave casual instructions.
Bian Ruxue was puzzled, listened carefully, and slowly understood Li Hao's words. Then she practiced again, over and over again, gradually approaching Li Hao's description.
Li Fu glanced at Li Hao. He was convinced that Li Hao also had a very high kendo talent.
Although the boy's expression was very amateurish, he only corrected Bian Ruxue's movements with "good-looking" and "not good-looking", but it was also a talent to be able to perceive the beauty of weapons at a young age.
After all, in the eyes of geniuses, some things are another picture.
Li Fu sighed in his heart and felt more sorry for Li Hao.
The next day.
The two went to Changchun Courtyard to greet the morning, and then Bian Ruxue ran to the martial arts arena excitedly.
After the morning practice and morning class in the martial arts arena, Bian Ruxue found the illegitimate boy from yesterday. The little girl was holding a sword that was about the same height as herself, and her little face was full of seriousness, wanting to challenge again.
Hearing Bian Ruxue's words, the boy couldn't help laughing.
The other illegitimate boys gathered around her also laughed and ridiculed her.
They didn't dare to provoke other direct descendants, but Bian Ruxue was not a direct descendant of the Li family after all, but the fiancée of the direct descendant, who had not yet married, and that direct descendant was a waste who had already spread her name in the God General's Mansion. In the future, any one of them would surpass the other.
Therefore, naturally, they couldn't stand the guy who sat on the treasure mountain and enjoyed endless resources and pampering.
"Haven't you learned your lesson after being defeated by Brother Bai yesterday?"
"If you want to stand up for that loser, let him do it himself. Brother Bai doesn't need to do anything. I can let that loser do it with both hands!"
"Hmph, Brother Bai showed mercy yesterday, but you still don't know what's good for you."
"Although you have good talent, Brother Bai has been practicing here for eight years. If you want revenge, I think you will have a chance in half a year, but Brother Bai should not be here by then.
Bian Ruxue bit her lip and stared at the boy in the middle with her little face: "Do you dare?"
This immediately aroused the boy's blood. The boy called Brother Bai's full name is Li Dongbai. Among the illegitimate children in the martial arts field, he is one of the three most talented. He has a seventh-level combat body and enjoys resources close to the direct line. He has entered the Zhoutian realm.
But the technical competition stipulated in the martial arts field requires the cultivation of the stronger party to be suppressed to the same level as the weaker party.
And Bian Ruxue's current cultivation is the tenth level of Tongli Realm!
"Today, I will make you lose clearly."
Li Dongbai's eyes were cold. He had no intention of provoking this little girl with extraordinary talent. He just chatted with people around him about something, and happened to talk about that waste. He said a few words by the way, and was found by this little girl.
Although he was a bastard, he also had a very high spirit. Naturally, he would not apologize for this, so there was a contest yesterday.
"Come on!"
Li Dongbai stood on the stage of the martial arts arena.
Soon, the outside of the stage was full of people. Everyone was very interested and wanted to see the contest between these two bastard geniuses and the peerless genius girl.
Outside the arena, the instructor of the martial arts arena, the old man in the army, smiled and squinted, encouraging these young and energetic little guys to compete with each other.
The sword is sharpened by grinding. If you don't fight when you are young, there will be no setbacks and progress. You can't wait until he is this old and old to fight with others.
Soon, two figures, one big and one small, fought fiercely in the arena.
The old man in the army had seen the same scene yesterday, and there was not much difference today, except that Li Dongbai's attack was a little more fierce.
"It seems that Xue'er is going to lose again." The old man in the army thought to himself: "After all, she has practiced too little. Although she has excellent talent, she still needs to be honed."
At this moment, the figures in the arena crossed each other, and the most intense sword was used.
With a bang, a sword flew out, rolled outside the arena, and inserted diagonally into the sand.
And the figure on the arena was also frozen.
Also frozen were the cheers and cheers from the audience.
And the old man in the army's face with a frozen smile.
