Chapter 9 Those Stars and Landscapes

After reading the scenery depicted in the book and going to walk on one's own experience are two different concepts. So when Li Fuyao really went from hearing about it to walking on it in person, he found the difficulties and dangers of this road. Although he had been mentally prepared, he was also a little surprised.

Chen Sheng led him onto the road of cultivation. To be precise, it belonged to a miserable road on that road. In Chen Sheng's opinion, the sword path was considered a rugged path. Therefore, when he led Li Fuyao up, he didn't brag about it. He just told Li Fuyao that in the years to come, he would have difficulty walking on this road.

How difficult it is actually depends on your own feelings, so Li Fuyao wisely did not ask about this question.

Therefore, when Li Fuyao agreed to take that path, Chen Sheng kept making things difficult for him. This middle-aged man who looked very casual on weekdays seemed very serious about teaching people to practice swords.

He asked the young man who had never known what it was to practice swords. On the first day, he swung his sword in the yard a thousand times. How could Li Fuyao's tiny arm swing a sword a thousand times a day? In addition, the wooden stick was really not light, so from morning to dusk, he could barely stab six hundred swords. Chen Sheng didn't say much, but just stood under the eaves to see if the young man could stab those thousand swords.

Obviously, no.

Until midnight, the boy who had been gritting his teeth and insisting did not pierce the thousand swords, but fell straight into the courtyard. Although he finally got up and continued to wave the sword in his hand, no matter how he looked, he could not pierce the thousand swords. Chen Sheng did not say anything, he just asked Li Fuyao to stab a thousand swords, and did not say what would happen if he could not pierce it. Li Fuyao did not ask, but was just trying his best to swing the sword in his hand.

Don't say one, don't ask one.

This pair of masters and apprentices looks very strange.

As for the second day, Chen Sheng asked Li Fuyao to go thousands of miles, which was obviously an unsuccessful task, but Li Fuyao still hung the wooden stick around his waist and walked alone. When he reached midnight, it was only a hundred miles. Then the boy looked at the sky, turned back to the courtyard, and returned to the two hundred miles. He used it for a day and a night.

This day and night kept walking, Li Fuyao's legs were as heavy as lead, but on the third day, he still appeared in the yard.

Chen Sheng usually looks inappropriate, but when he really wants to teach Li Fuyao to practice swords, he seems extremely silent. He just announces what Li Fuyao needs to do every day. As for whether he can do it, he doesn't care or not.

In this way, day by day, and on the fifteenth day, Li Fuyao finally fell into the yard and couldn't get up. Chen Sheng finally picked up Li Fuyao, threw him on the bed, and fed him a black pill.

By the side of the bed, Chen Sheng touched Li Fuyao's limbs that became stiff due to excessive movements. He finally nodded. The first thing a swordsman between mountains and rivers did was to teach them how to use swords, but to tell them a truth.

There is no end to stab a thousand swords on the first day, and there is no end to walk ten thousand miles on the second day. Even within these fifteen days, there is nothing that can be done in one day. This is not embarrassing. On the contrary, it is the norm that should have been. Some things cannot be completed at first, so what does it matter if they cannot be completed?

The reason why Chen Sheng nodded was not that Li Fuyao finally fell down, but that Li Fuyao did not stop doing it because he couldn't do it. Instead, he tried his best to complete these impossible things, and finally fell down, which caused him to drain his last bit of energy.

With the word "true" and "righteousness", Li Fuyao seemed to have touched the threshold.

Try your best to do what you can do, even if it is not done, you should try it.

This is the swordsman's intention.

Li Fuyao didn't hear Chen Sheng tell him this truth, but when he opened his eyes and stood in the small yard with his sword again, he actually understood a lot.

Some things need not be explained.

Li Fuyao, who started practicing swords, suffered far more than that. If Chen Sheng had thought of him to understand a truth in the fifteenth day before, the next month would be a swordsman's dangerous road, spreading out little by little in front of Li Fuyao.

It is like a beautiful painting, slowly unfolding.

But there is absolutely no sense of comfort in this process.

As for these tortures, Li Fuyao soon forgot about something else. However, during this period, Mr. Yan from Yanling Academy once led the little girl to say goodbye, but Li Fuyao had no energy to pay attention to it. However, Chen Sheng looked at the little girl and thoughtfully. The little girl named Gu Yuan was also a little curious about Chen Sheng's identity as a swordsman, but in the end, Yan Yu led her away from here and returned to the academy.

Li Fuyao began to be polished by Chen Sheng with his sword energy.

The extremely sharp sword energy invaded Li Fuyao's various acupoints one by one, like fine needles of cow hair, pricked on his body one by one. This process made Li Fuyao feel what pain is.

In addition, when he was eroded by these sword energy, Li Fuyao had to take the "sword" to the yard and sway the sword and stab it out. The biting pain kept his mind awake at all times, but it also made it extremely difficult for him to stab him every time.

So much so that after only a few swords were stabbed, he was already sweating profusely.

If an ordinary monk had never been so hard as to start his journey of practicing, but Li Fuyao chose to practice swords, so he could only bear it silently.

He was tortured so much that he didn't even have time to think about why he wanted to be a stupid swordsman with only one sword among the mountains and rivers.

It was not until the second month, when it was late winter, when Li Fuyao felt a little more spring, that Li Fuyao felt that the pain in his body was much lighter.

After looking down at his hands and legs, he found that it was indeed much stronger than before. Although he still looked thin, Li Fuyao always felt that he had some changes.

Chen Sheng hasn't talked much these days. This man doesn't like drinking, but he talks a lot. He just doesn't talk to Li Fuyao, but he only talks a lot to Qinghuai. Li Fuyao practices swordsmanly. Occasionally at night, he would sit under the eaves and Qinghuai to watch the stars. I don't know if Chen Shengxi likes it, but Li Fuyao must like it very much.

I occasionally look at the morning glow and sunset, but in this season, it is far less beautiful than the morning glow and sunset in summer.

After the first three months of practicing swordsmanship, Chen Sheng talked a little more. He often talked to Li Fuyao about the things in the demonic land in the north, and often told him about the saints of the three religions, but the one who talked the most was the sword immortal.

Li Fuyao could hear that the sword immortal was the object he was chasing.

Li Fuyao, who had just set foot in his mind, was not only listening to his chats, but most of the time he was meditating. He looked at the insignificant qi in his spiritual home and patiently guided the qi into his meridians, hoping to drive the qi out of his body one day. At that time, all the qi will be transformed into sword energy, and he will be a swordsman in this sword energy realm.

Chen Sheng said that only by stepping into the sword energy realm can one truly embark on the path of swordsmanship.

As for Li Fuyao asking him how long it took to enter the sword energy realm, Chen Sheng smiled proudly and said, "It only took a year."

According to Chen Sheng himself, he is a genius who is rare in Jianshan in a century, so it is normal to walk so fast. However, Li Fuyao did not know how talented he was in the swordsmanship, so he did not know how long it would take him.

But according to him, he has never even seen a sword, so it must be a bit far away.

...

...

After another dusk, Li Fuyao, who had finished his one-day schoolwork, sat on the steps under the eaves of his house, staring at the sunset, and was a little dazed. Chen Sheng was missing, Qinghuai came to Li Fuyao to sit down. Looking at this guy, Li Fuyao grinned and asked first: "I have always wanted to ask you, your demon clan is actually not friendly to the swordsmen, why do you still need me to learn swords?"

Qinghuai said coldly: "I thought you should be able to figure it out."

Li Fuyao was a little surprised, "Can it be true as I thought?"

Qinghuai nodded and sighed: "If it's not that, where can it be?"

Li Fuyao was speechless and thought to himself, it turns out that you are such a girl with fireworks.

Qinghuai ignored him and just took out a green bead and threw it to Li Fuyao, "I promised it before."

Li Fuyao took the demon pill and asked, "How to use this?"

Qinghuai said calmly: "The easiest way is to eat it, but with your current realm, you will probably explode and die."

“…”

Li Fuyao didn't say anything, thinking that even if he couldn't explode and died, he wouldn't surrender this demon pill. Chen Sheng said it very bluntly, and he needed to go step by step by step. Borrowing foreign objects was not a good way, but since it was something given by Qinghuai, Li Fuyao still wanted to stay.

The two of them sat on the steps for a long time, and it was soon the sky was full of stars.

Li Fuyao looked up at the stars, thinking in his heart that this was the first time you and I had a serious chat in a few months. Could it be that we wouldn't we talk more?

But thinking that Li Fuyao still didn't say much.

However, Qinghuai was silent for a moment and said, "There is a Taoist meeting in Liangxi in the late spring. I will leave this place in the past few days and go to Liangxi to challenge that Taoist seed."

Li Fuyao knew about this, so he just nodded, "You have to be careful."

Soon Li Fuyao asked again tentatively: "You have nothing else to say?"

Qinghuai sarcastically said, "What do you want to hear?"

Li Fuyao waved his hand awkwardly, "Actually, I am just a friend like you, so I am naturally a little worried about you."

Qinghuai turned his head to look at him and smiled.

In the distance, Chen Sheng was lying on a big willow tree. With his realm, he knew clearly about the situation in the courtyard. He felt a little headache for the young girls. He shook his head and murmured: "This stupid apprentice."
