The first volume of pearl curtains rolls up the western mountain rain at dusk Chapter 42 You Win
The true meaning of the Breaking Formation Sword lies in the word "break". During the first three days of sword practice, Li Diudiu thought he had understood the meaning of this word "break". However, it was not until a few days later that he realized that he had merely grasped the meaning of this word.
Yan Qingzhi did not take the initiative to teach Li Diudiu anything, but was waiting for Li Diudiu to figure it out on his own, because it is easy to ask people to master something, but difficult to ask them to give up something.
As a teacher, I know human nature very well, so if you make some things too clear, even children will resist. If you directly tell someone that you are wrong, most people will resist.
If he told Li Diudiu that if he wanted to master the "breaking array sword" skill, he had to temporarily forget all the martial arts he had learned before, Li Diudiu might not be convinced and might not be able to do it.
Yan Qingzhi looked at Li Diudiu sitting in the yard in a daze, and he knew that Li Diudiu had reached a bottleneck.
The sword techniques are fixed. When you are on the battlefield or in a duel, the enemy or opponent will not follow your moves and wait for you to finish your sword moves?
The routine martial arts are just a show.
"gentlemen."
Li Diudiu turned back to look at Yan Qingzhi: "The word 'po' in this 'pozhendao' seems to be wrong."
Yan Qing was startled.
He walked up to Li Diudiu and asked, "What do you mean?"
Li Diudiu said: "I originally thought that if I wanted to master this unstoppable formation-breaking technique, I would have to temporarily forget everything I learned before. As long as there are distracting thoughts in my mind, it will be impossible to move forward without hesitation."
Yan Qingzhi nodded and said, "You were right, why did you say the word 'broken' was wrong?"
Li Diudiu said: "If it is as I just thought, the word 'break' does not refer to breaking the enemy, but to breaking oneself, and if there is no breaking, there is no building, then this sword technique is incompatible with other martial arts. With only the sword technique of breaking the formation, does one really become stronger or weaker?"
Yan Qingzhi frowned slightly and said, "Back then, the general was invincible with his formation-breaking sword. Do you think he was strong or weak?"
Li Diudiu asked: "Has the general ever practiced other martial arts?"
Yan Qingzhi was stunned again.
"Rumor has it that the general has learned a lot of martial arts."
"That's it."
Li Diudiu stood up and said, "The meaning of the Array Breaking Blade is not in the word 'break', but in another word... 'follow', the meaning of 'follow death'."
Li Diudiu said: "Go to the battlefield, go to die. Breaking cannot make people go forward without hesitation, only the word "go" can do it."
Yan Qingzhi didn’t understand why Li Diudiu was so obsessed with these two words. Are the meanings of the words the same as those of the swordsmanship?
Li Diudiu said: "So this sword intention is actually something I dare to do, not something I can break."
Yan Qingzhi felt that it was his turn to not understand. He had been practicing the Formation Breaking Sword for so many years and had never thought about these things. He just felt that in order to practice the Formation Breaking Sword well, he had to specialize in it. So, he gradually forgot all the Kung Fu he had practiced over the years, and only his Formation Breaking Fist and Formation Breaking Sword became more and more proficient.
Li Diudiu said: "So don't forget what you originally learned. Use this sword technique. Just two words, 'dare for me', are enough."
He picked up the carrying pole and practiced the sword techniques of the Breaking Formation Sword again. It seemed that there was no difference, but Yan Qingzhi found that it was as if there was a real enemy in front of Li Diudiu, and his carrying pole was becoming more and more like a real sword.
"Wait for me."
Yan Qingzhi said this and walked out of the door quickly. No one knew where he went. Li Diudiu was practicing sword skills over and over again in the yard. His eyes were slightly narrowed, and when his eyes were narrowed, his vision became blurred. In the blur, he could imagine that there was a real enemy appearing in front of him.
About two moments later, Yan Qingzhi came back with a bundle of bamboos. Li Diudiu could tell that these were the bamboos from the bamboo forest in the academy.
The common bamboo in the south cannot survive in the north. The most common bamboo in northern gardening is the swallow bamboo, also known as thunder bamboo. There is also a bamboo with a very beautiful name called golden jade, which can also grow in the north.
"Sir, are you destroying that bamboo forest?"
Li Diudiu sighed.
Yan Qingzhi said: "I left a note saying that Li Chi had cut it."
Li Diudiu said: “Great!”
Yan Qingzhi rolled his eyes at him and inserted the bamboos he was holding one by one in the yard. He inserted them in a disorderly manner, and it seemed that there was no deep meaning behind them, as if he had just inserted them randomly.
"They are the enemy troops rushing towards you."
Yan Qingzhi said: "Practice it again."
Li Diudiu nodded: "Yes!"
Li Diudiu picked up the pole and was about to move, but Yan Qingzhi said, "Knock down every thin bamboo as quickly as possible. If you knock down one, you won't be able to eat dinner."
Li Diudiu's eyes widened: "How cruel!"
Yan Qingzhi: "This only seems cruel to you, but it may not be a big deal to others..."
Li Diudiu spent the whole day in this constant repetition. Yan Qingzhi did not seem like a teacher in an academy, but more like a martial arts master. Under his supervision, Li Diudiu's attacks became faster and more accurate.
In the evening, Yan Qingzhi went to the cafeteria to get food. Li Diudiu moved a small stool and sat at the door. He had just washed himself, and a breeze blew over him, making him feel refreshed.
Just at this moment, Li Diudiu saw Gao Xining walking towards him with an unhappy look on his face. He was startled and quickly got up to go back to the yard. Before he could dodge, he heard Gao Xining coughing a few times behind him.
Li Diudiu sighed, turned around and looked at Gao Xining and smiled, "What a coincidence."
Gao Xining stared at him and asked, "You hide every time you see me these days. Is it because you were injured and I didn't bandage you, and I didn't suck... suck your finger?!"
Li Diudiu thought to himself what the hell was going on. If Gao Xining hadn't said this, he would have forgotten it long ago.
"No, no, I'm just too busy lately. Even if you smoke, I'm busy too."
"busy?"
Gao Xining stood at the door and looked straight at Li Diudiu and said, "Look into my eyes and say it again, are you so busy that you hide when you see me?"
Li Diudiu mustered up the courage to look Gao Xining in the eye and answered seriously, "I am busy."
Gao Xining: "Say the second half of the sentence!"
Li Diudiu opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
Gao Xining breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she was not angry with Li Diudiu at all. She could easily understand why Li Diudiu suddenly distanced herself from her. She was a girl who was naturally smart, and few people could be smarter than her.
Li Diudiu has been staying at Yan Qingzhi's place these days. Of course, Yan Qingzhi must have said something to him. Gao Xining could probably guess without thinking too much that it must be Yan Qingzhi who told Li Diudiu to stay away from her.
"Let me ask you a question."
Gao Xining still looked into Li Diudiu's eyes and asked in a serious tone, "When someone tells you to stay away from someone, you stay away from that person. Why?"
Li Diudiu was shocked and wondered how she knew that.
But he soon understood that a smart girl like Gao Xining could easily guess what had happened.
Her talent in martial arts is really average, but her brain is far superior to her peers, and even to some adults. Because of this, she can see through the little thoughts of her peers at a glance, and she can also see through the so-called relationships between adults at a glance.
Li Diudiu looked at her blankly and didn't know how to answer for a moment. If he said yes, it would mean that Yan Qingzhi did say something to him, and Gao Xining might hold a grudge against Yan Qingzhi. If he said no... Li Diudiu knew that he was not good at lying.
"You really think what others say is more important."
Gao Xining turned and walked away: "A coward without a mind of his own."
Li Diudiu looked at her back with his mouth wide open, wanting to say, It’s not that I don’t want to pay attention to you, it’s because Mr. Yan said this is for your own good.
However, Li Diudiu couldn't say this when it came to his lips , because he suddenly realized that no matter whether it was good for Gao Xining or not, he had still promised Mr. Yan, so what Gao Xining said was right.
He smiled bitterly, feeling a little pain in his heart for some unknown reason.
At that moment, his heart ached because he felt like he had lost something very important, so important that this kind of loss meant giving it up, and since it has to be given up, of course it would hurt.
But Gao Xining turned back after walking a few steps, looked at Li Diudiu and said seriously: "If I let others affect myself, I would be a coward, but I am not, so I will still wait for you by the woods every day. You already owe me a few days of hard work."
Li Diudiu took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "I will teach you!"
Gao Xining said: "It's my business if I go, and I will be responsible for what I said. It's your business if you don't go, and it has nothing to do with me."
Li Diudiu: “Ah!”
Gao Xining turned around and walked away with her hands behind her back, her ponytail still swinging as she walked. Li Diudiu suddenly laughed, because he knew that Gao Xining was not really angry when her ponytail swung as she walked.
He had observed this more than once: when Gao Xining was angry, no matter how fast she walked or how big her steps were, her ponytail would hardly move. But when she was happy, even if she didn't walk fast, her ponytail would swing.
So Li Diudiu’s conclusion is that when Gao Xining walks with her ponytail hanging down and not moving, she must be angry, and when it sways from side to side, she must be happy.
"well……"
Li Diudiu sat down and let out a long breath, then said to himself, "If I don't go, I'll be breaking my promise to you, which is really a coward. If I go, I'll be sorry for the teacher's teaching, which is really disrespectful. It's really hard to be a child."
At the same time, at the Jizhou Jiedushi military camp.
Xiahou Zhuo stood up and moved around a few times. Although the wound still hurt slightly when he walked, it was much better than before. At least he could move, and the wound wouldn't hurt too much as long as he didn't walk too fast.
"I have to go back to the academy."
He looked at Liu Ge and said, "Can you arrange a carriage to take me back?"
General Liu Ge asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you staying here to recuperate? It's the safest place in the army camp. Who dares to come here to cause trouble? If you go back, you will live in the academy, which is not safe."
Xiahou Zhuo said: "After this incident, Yang Zhuo will not do anything rash again, you can rest assured, and I have to go back to the academy."
"Why?"
Liu Ge asked, "Do you feel suffocated living here?"
Xiahou Zhuo shook his head: "No... Today I suddenly remembered that the academy should have a field holiday. Almost all the disciples will leave the academy and go home, but Li Diudiu can only live in the academy. He is also injured, and the academy cafeteria will be empty. I don't know how he has been spending the past few days."
Liu Ge was startled, then smiled and said, "If that's all, why are you worrying so much? Will he starve to death in the academy?"
Xiahou Zhuo glanced at Liu Ge and said, "This is not the attitude I should have towards my brothers."
Liu Ge fell silent, then nodded after a moment: "I'll go and tell the governor, if he agrees, I'll arrange a carriage to take you back."
"No need to ask the governor."
Xiahou Zhuo was very anxious because he thought about the academy's farm holiday, and he couldn't stay there for even a moment.
So he looked at Liu Ge and said seriously: "I want to go back now. If you don't arrange a carriage, I will walk back by myself."
Liu Ge said: "You are threatening me. Is this how you treat your brothers?"
Xiahou Zhuo: "You are right, I am threatening you."
Liu Ge looked at Xiahou Zhuo for a long time, then smiled and shook his head, "You win."
