Chapter 165 The Charm of that Sword!

Xuanyuan Mingjing looked at Bandit Tang, his face was as blue as a rock, his eyes were deep, and he asked in a deep voice, "Why can't you cut it out?"

"Master has no flaws." Tang Bandit said with a defeated look on his face: "I have always wanted to find flaws in Master, but the longer I look for them, the more flaws I find in myself."

"I use a flawed sword to attack Master's flawless body. You can't hurt others, you can only hurt yourself."

"So, the best choice is to give up the sword and admit defeat."

Tang Bandit said this not to flatter him.

He knew that the best way to flatter him was to raise his sword and fight Xuanyuan Mingjing for 300 rounds.

Master, you see, ever since you became a teacher, the disciple has enlightened overnight, even if he couldn't beat Shen Xinglan yesterday, he can punch the master a few times today

Xuanyuan Mingjing should be smiling from ear to ear, right?

Xuanyuan Mingjing stared at Tang Bandit's depressed look and the sweat on his forehead. He was silent for a moment before speaking out: "Don't be discouraged. When Shen Xinglan first entered the school, the situation was similar to yours."

"He also gave up his sword and surrendered?" Bandit Tang asked curiously.

I felt a little joy in my heart. Isn't it a matter of course that Shen Xinglan can't do things that he can't do?

He is the number one Shen Xinglan on the blue list. How much does he rank?

"That's not true." Xuanyuan Mingjing said aloud: "He stood with me for half an hour, and then he couldn't get out the sword."

"."

Tang Bandit was a little embarrassed.

He only stood for more than ten minutes and then gave up his sword profusely in sweat and surrendered. The time difference was half.

Besides, how old was Shen Xinglan when he entered the teacher's school? How old were you when you entered the apprenticeship?

Huh.

Bandit Tang suddenly discovered a wonderful thing, he even dared to compare himself with Shen Xinglan.

One is a young refugee from the old land, and the other is a proud man from the new star. The two people who used to be thought to be completely unrelated to each other are now put on the same level for comparison?

Swelled Swelled Swelled.

When Bandit Tang first came to Xinxing, he felt that he and Xiaopang could live a stable life here.

Now, he has actually entered Bailu Academy, worshiped Xuanyuan Mingjing as his teacher, and even made it to the star list

He had everything Shen Xinglan had.

What Shen Xinglan didn't have, he also wanted to have.

After all, he wanted to kill Shen Xinglan, but Shen Xinglan couldn't kill herself

"So, is this the prestige of a great master?" Bandit Tang looked at Xuanyuan Mingjing and asked aloud.

"That's right." Xuanyuan Mingjing nodded, and said, "Pure your mind and spirit, leave your form and get rid of your wisdom, forget about life and death, and follow nature. This is called "Tao." Only those who have attained the Tao can become great masters. "

"I show you the majesty of the Grand Master, not to dampen your spirit, vent your sword energy, or hinder your ambition to make progress, but to tell you that if you want to move forward, you must find the "Tao" in your heart. "

"Tao is the truth and the path. A person without Tao can only do nothing in his life. No matter how strong his body is and how tough his mind is, he is just a strong martial artist."

Xuanyuan Mingjing looked at Tang Bandit and asked, "Have you done any math problems?"

"No." Tang Bandit shook his head.

"Have you ever been to the concert?"

Tang Bandit shook his head again and said, "No."

"Then you. You have cooked." Xuanyuan Mingjing finally found an example that could be used to teach, and said: "What is Tao? As far as cooking is concerned, the ultimate way of cooking is taste."

"You have already set the taste of this dish in your mind in advance. All other procedures, everything you do, the level of heat, the amount of water added, and the seasonings you put are all to serve this taste."

"Tao and martial arts are unified. Find your final destination and find the destination you want to reach in your heart. You can become a great master."

Tang Bandit looked excited and asked: "Master, as long as I find this truth, can I become a great master?"

"That's right." Xuanyuan Mingjing nodded solemnly, looking extremely serious, and said: "When practicing martial arts, one should only immerse oneself in practicing hard, but never know how to look up for the direction. I always think that if I work harder, my strength will improve. One point stronger.”

"The truth is not bad. It is true in the early stage, but in the later stage, the more the headless fly tries, the harder it hits."

"So, the first lesson I teach you is to let you find the direction and find the way in your heart."

Tang Bandi looked up at Xuanyuan Mingjing and asked aloud: "What is Master's way?"

Xuanyuan Mingjing stretched out his hand to summon the small branch that Tang Bandit had thrown on the ground, and swung the branch towards the sky lightly.

"This is my way."

After saying that, he put the twig into Tang Bandit's hand and turned to leave.

Tang Bandit looked up at the sky, his pupils dilated, and he was horrified.

The master raised his hand and struck the sword, cutting the white clouds in the sky into two halves.

Half on the left and half on the right.

There is a clear and distinct golden line in the middle.

The white clouds on the left cannot go to the right, and the white clouds on the right cannot go to the left.

They are distinct, rolling, swimming, and freely combining in their respective boundaries to form countless images.

However, I just couldn’t cross that golden line.

Tang Bandit was confused and excited at the same time.

At a loss, he knew what Tao was, but he didn't seem to know much about it.

He doesn’t know what the Master’s Tao is, nor what his own Tao should be.

Excitedly, Xuanyuan Mingjing opened the door to a new world for him.

They toss about in a small world all day, thinking that as long as they work hard and practice one more sword, they can improve their strength and break through the realm.

Xuanyuan Mingjing tells you that this is not the case. An unscrupulous person is nothing more than a reckless man no matter how diligent he is.

A wise man can touch the water like a dragonfly and lift a heavy weight as if it were light. He can stop a river with one sword and cut through clouds with one sword.

"Is this the Tao?"

"Is this the master's way?"

"What is my way? Can I find my own way?"

——

Tang Bandit stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the golden line and the unpredictable clouds on both sides of the golden line, and fell into thinking.

No matter what, he knew in his heart that he was the right master.

This first move is brilliant.

——

When Tang Bandit returned to the small courtyard, Chen Tianqi came up to him and asked excitedly: "How is it? Did you give my poems to the dean? Did the dean read it? Did you say anything?" "

"Send it over," Tang Bandit said.

He did "send" it over, but he just put it on the stone table where Master drank tea.

Then the master asked him to follow him to the back mountain and told him to find the truth in his heart.

When he came out of the back mountain, his mind was filled with the sword that his master casually slashed out. He was still thinking about the "Tao". He was in a daze and had long forgotten about the cowhide bag.

Now that he heard Chen Tianqi ask, he remembered this incident.

Of course, he had nothing to feel guilty about.

He did send the poem to the dean. As for whether he would open it and read it, that was the dean's business.

"Really? Did the dean say anything? What did he think of my poem?" Chen Tianqi's eyes lit up and he grabbed Tang Bandi's hand excitedly.

Tang Biao calmly took out his hand. He was not used to holding hands with a man, so he looked effeminate.

"The dean hasn't had time to read it yet. I'll tell you the result after he reads it," Tang Bandi said.

"Oh." The look in Chen Tianqi's eyes disappeared instantly.

"What's wrong? Haven't you already assigned a seat master? Are you not satisfied?"

"There is nothing dissatisfied." Chen Tianqi shook his head with a smile and said: "Those who can serve as tutors in Bailu Academy are all powerful people. But, isn't it because of you as a comparison? Compared with the dean, Where can I find a suitable teacher?"

"You can't think like that." Tang Bandit wanted to comfort Chen Tianqi.

"If it were you, would you think so?" Chen Tianqi interrupted Tang Bandi's words and asked in return.

Tang Bandi was stunned for a moment and said, "Then continue thinking about it."

"."

Tang Bandi looked at Chen Tianqi seriously and said loudly: "We have not known each other for a long time, but since we can live together, it is fate. Moreover, it is possible that we will have to live in this small courtyard together in the next few years, and I don't want to Because of some trivial things, everyone's relationship is at loggerheads. It's so stumbling, you feel uncomfortable living here, and I don't feel happy living here either."

"So, I said some things directly. If you can accept it, then we are still friends. If you can't accept it, then you can find a way."

Chen Tianqi looked at Tang Bandit in surprise and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"I want you to give up the idea of ​​choosing the dean as your teacher." Tang Bandi said frankly and directly: "Even if the dean really likes poetry, do you think the dean will recruit another disciple just because he likes poetry?"

"During dinner last night, the dean of the department asked the dean on the spot how to handle it if another student made such a request. The dean said, 'It's just this time, it won't happen next time.'"

"The dean will no longer be a teacher for others, nor will he recruit you as a disciple just because you like poetry. I don't want you to put all your thoughts on this matter."

"How did you persuade me then? This matter is basically useless. I know you have good intentions. Because you persuaded me with good intentions at that time, I will also persuade you with good intentions to give up now."

"Since everyone has a master, you should put your worries away, study seriously from your master, and ask him for advice. If you are always half-hearted and don't want to learn here, you won't be able to learn there."

"Three or two days is fine. If your current teacher finds out that you have no intention of learning or making progress with him, what will he think of you? How will he treat you?"

"These are the words you advised me. I will give them back to you now. I don't want you to go astray and waste precious time and hard-won opportunities."

Chen Tianqi was silent for a moment, then bowed deeply to Tang Bandit, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Tang, I know I was wrong. In fact, I also know in my heart that the hope of this kind of thing is extremely slim, but I still can't help but want to give it a try. try."

"You're right. I should really clean up my mood and eliminate distracting thoughts. I should learn from my master how to break through the realm. If he also develops a bad feeling towards me, then my life will be miserable these years."

He looked at Tang Bandit with a sincere face and said, "Only brothers can have such heartfelt words. No matter what, I owe you once."

"I owe you nothing. If you do this to me, I will do the same to you." Tang Bao said aloud: "Compare your feelings with your own."

Tang Bandi was suddenly stunned for a moment, as if something flashed through his mind.

It was like a silver fish swimming quickly through his mind, but when he tried to reach out to catch it, it was gone.

Tang Bandit's face was filled with annoyance, but there was nothing he could do.

"What's wrong?" Chen Tianqi saw Tang Bandi's regretful expression and asked.

"It's okay." Tang Bandit waved his hand and said, "Let's go and have lunch."

"Let's go and eat." Chen Tianqi said, "The dean doesn't care about the food?"

"The dean is out," Tang Bandi said.

When he came down from the back mountain, the dean was no longer there.

Originally, he wanted to make lunch for the dean, but while Shen Xinglan was away, he had a meal with the dean alone to deepen the relationship between master and disciple.

After all, he found that the dean was quite capable.

The style of that sword is really amazing.
