Chen Pipi sincerely praised him, "That's a good sentence."
Ning Que shrugged and said, "I often say beautiful words that even I don't expect."
The two looked at each other and then laughed.
The melodious music floating on the cliff platform had stopped. Ning Que got a temporary answer to the problem of obsession and happiness in life, and he was no longer as anxious and impetuous as before. He and Chen Pipi walked down the hill side by side, wondering if they should go to the old library for a nap. After returning to Lin 47th Street, perhaps he could take Sangsang to go shopping and relax. Unexpectedly, the dense forest beside the road shook, and two people came out of it.
Fortunately, there were two people who appeared, so it could not be the most helpless and painful Eleventh Senior Brother. Unfortunately, these two people were carrying a zither and a flute in their arms. Their academy uniforms were wide and large. They were Beigong and Ximen, the two Senior Brothers who were obsessed with music.
"Youngest Brother, I saw that you didn't nod frequently when listening to the song yesterday, so I guessed that there must be something wrong with the song."
Ninth Brother Beigong Weiyang's eyes were also bloodshot. He pulled Ning Que's sleeve enthusiastically and said, "Last night, Ximen and I stayed up all night and made some adjustments to the three connecting bars of the song. We are satisfied with it, but it's a song made by ourselves after all. It doesn't count if you're deaf and blind. We still need you to appreciate it. "
Tenth Brother Ximen Buhuo held the zither and said sincerely, "Youngest Brother, thank you for your hard work."
Chen Pipi looked at Ning Que sympathetically and thought that Ning Que had just figured out those things on the spiritual level, but the chores around him were bothering him. As the youngest person in the Back Mountain of the Academy, it was so painful that it made him want to cry.
Ning Que was slightly stunned. He looked at the two Senior Brothers in front of him and thought of the old man who was focused on reading beside the cliff cave. After a moment of silence, he smiled and bowed with hands folded in front and said calmly, "Two Senior Brothers, please forgive me for not listening to the song today."
"What can you do if you don't listen to the song? Are those guys asking you to play chess and debate? " Beigong Weiyang flicked his sleeves and said unhappily, "Little Brother, don't make things difficult for yourself. I will stand up for you. Don't they know how precious your time is?"
Hearing this, Ning Que couldn't help but laugh. He shook his head and said, "Ninth Brother, I won't listen to music or play chess today, nor will I accompany Eleventh Brother in his mental wandering. I just want to have a good sleep."
Beigong Weiyang widened his eyes and asked in confusion, "Little Junior Brother, why aren't you listening to music?"
Ning Que replied gently, "Because I … don't like it."
Beigong Weiyang was stunned. Stroking the bamboo flute in his hand, he said in distress, "I can't. You seemed very happy listening to it the last few times."
Ning Que said with a smile, "That's to make my two senior brothers happy. In fact, I'm not that happy myself."
Senior Brother Ximen Buhuo interrupted, "Little Junior Brother, you kept nodding your head while listening to the music …"
Ning Que sighed and said, "I was so sleepy that I wanted to sleep."
Chen Pipi couldn't help but be dumbfounded at the conversation between Ning Que and his two senior brothers. He gently pulled Ning Que's sleeves and pulled him aside. He reminded him in a low voice, "How can you talk to your senior brothers like this? Don't say it if you don't like it. "
Ning Que looked at him and said in distress, "But I'm telling the truth."
At this moment, a calm and serious voice came from the top of the mountain path. Hearing this voice, both the two Senior Brothers who were in a daze and Chen Pipi who was ready to continue to criticize and remind Ning Que became more obedient in an instant.
"Don't listen to it if you don't like it. Speak the truth and deal with things straightforwardly. That's what a gentleman should do."
Second Brother, who was wearing an ancient crown, walked down from the top of the mountain path with a solemn expression. He nodded slightly and greeted his junior brothers. Then he said with an undisguised expression of admiration, "Little Junior Brother is quite a gentleman. You should learn from him."
Hearing the praise, Ning Que was stunned. This was the first time that he was associated with such a strange creature as a gentleman.
Second Brother looked at him with a smile and nodded. Then he stopped smiling and looked seriously at Chen Pipi and the other two junior brothers. He said in a low voice, "From today on, no one is allowed to disturb Little Junior Brother's cultivation. Otherwise, I'll punish you according to the academy rules."
His voice was not very loud, but it seemed to have a substantial existence. It did not dissipate even though it floated far away. Along with the mountain forest wind, it quickly spread through the whole back of the mountain and spread to the lake pavilion under the pine trees and flowers. All the junior brothers and sisters could hear it clearly.
Beigong Weiyang and Ximen Buhuo agreed with a bitter face. But they could not help sneaking a glance at Ning Que. They were probably still regretting that they had finally found a junior brother who was sensitive to the beauty of rhythm, but he was taken away by Second Brother.
Eldest Brother ranked first in the back of the mountain of the Academy. However, Eldest Brother's temperament was extremely gentle. The junior brothers and sisters were close to him without fear. What they really respected was this upright and serious Second Brother. As long as Second Brother said it, no one dared to disobey.
Thinking that Ning Que would not need to be bothered by these senior brothers and sisters from now on, and thinking of his bloody life when he just entered the back of the mountain, Chen Pipi was very envious of his luck. He was a little angry and unreconciled. He looked at Second Brother and asked seriously, "Senior Brother, the array of the Cloud Gate is now being repaired, and Seventh Sister needs Ning Que's help every day. What do you think …"
There was an unfinished meaning in his words, which implied that he was up to no good. Ning Que glared at Chen Pipi, and Chen Pipi looked back at him proudly. However, he did not feel proud for long. The next moment, he heard Second Brother's words and understood that talking too much often brought great misfortune to people.
"The array of the Cloud Gate has not been repaired yet? What has Seventh Sister been doing in the past six months? Practicing the array eye … Well, it is indeed a little troublesome. Little Junior Brother has just entered the sect and has no time to waste on these things. Pipi, I remember that you repaired the array of the Cloud Gate with Seventh Sister the year before last. Since you have experience, you have to work hard this year. "
Chen Pipi opened his mouth wide and wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Little Junior Brother, come with me."
Second Brother put his sleeves behind his back and walked down the mountain slowly.
Ning Que patted Chen Pipi's shoulder sympathetically and caught up with him.
In the chat with Chen Pipi and other Senior Brothers and Sisters, Ning Que knew that Second Brother was an extremely proud and serious person. He was very strict to himself and others, so he was a little afraid of him. However, today Second Brother solved a big problem for him, so his impression of Second Brother suddenly changed. He felt that Second Brother was definitely the most lovely person in the world.
The psychological state would definitely affect the reality. He followed Second Brother slowly to the Mirror Lake on the cliff plateau. Looking at Second Brother's old-fashioned posture and the rigid taste of the same distance in every step, all changed into admirable rigorous self-discipline. Even the high crown on Second Brother's head, which was like a washing stick, became a lot more noble at this time.
Second Brother suddenly sighed with emotion and said, "Your state is really too low …"
Hearing Second Brother's words in front of him, Ning Que quickly quickened his pace and came behind him. He answered honestly, "Yes."
"The back of the mountain of the Academy has no experience in the education of disciples in the No Doubts State."
Second Brother shook his head slowly and said, "Although Eldest Brother was still in the Initial State when he entered the Academy, he was taught by the Headmaster himself. But now the Headmaster and Eldest Brother are still traveling outside, even I don't know how to teach you."
Ning Que was silent. Although he was a little disappointed, he was not too anxious because he thought that the Headmaster and Eldest Brother would return to the Academy one day.
During the conversation, the two had already walked down the mountain road and came to the beautiful cliff plateau.
Walking to the Mirror Lake, Second Brother glanced at the pavilion and the girl embroidering in the pavilion. He suddenly stopped and said after a moment of silence, "Although Headmaster and Eldest Brother haven't come back yet, you're still a student of the Academy. You have to follow what the Academy has taught you. The dignified Academy can't be defeated by Yan Se. Tell me, what do you want to learn?"
Entering the back of the mountain of the Academy was like entering the world of cultivation. Ning Que was very clear about what he would encounter. However, he was too busy these days and his spirit was too bad. In addition, the Senior Brothers and Sisters in the back of the mountain were too absurd, so he completely forgot about this matter. Suddenly hearing Second Brother's question, he was surprised and a little confused.
The way of cultivation was like the sea. What should he choose? After cultivating flying sword, he would be a Sword Master. After cultivating Divine Psyche, he would be a Psyche Master. Or should he choose Martial Arts cultivation? Or should he really find a toilet to cultivate the unprecedented Bucket Master?
He suddenly thought of a very important question and asked hesitantly, "Senior Brother, will there be any conflict between cultivating other things and Talisman Taoism?"
Second Brother stood by the lake and shook his head. "All sects have the same principle. All streams will eventually return to the sea. You don't need to care about the beginning and the extreme cultivation. But you need to be careful in the middle. You have just started, so you don't need to think so much."
Looking at Second Brother's back, Ning Que frowned and thought for a long time, but he still could not make up his mind. If he thought for too long, he was worried that Second Brother would be impatient. Under such mental pressure, he suddenly remembered that apart from the Military Array Masters he occasionally saw in the battlefield at the frontier fortress, the first cultivator he met in his life was the Sword Master at the entrance of Northern Mountain Road.
The first cultivator he killed alone was the Sword Master in the lakeside house. Apart from the basic knowledge in the old library, the first book he read on cultivation methods was that book. And he liked the Sword Forest behind the meadow of the Academy very much.
"Senior Brother … I want to learn Haoran Sword."
Hearing this, Second Brother slowly turned around and looked at Ning Que with a strange look. His eyes became brighter and brighter, and he said with appreciation, "Haoran Sword is not the most wonderful method, but it is definitely the most suitable method for a man to learn."
…
…
Hearing that Second Brother was going to teach the new Youngest Brother Haoran Sword, the Back Mountain of the Academy, which had been quiet for a long time, finally ushered in a rare bustle. Those Senior Brothers and Sisters who usually lived in different places all came out of their rooms under the pine trees and flowers. They stood everywhere on the cliff plateau and curiously looked at the two people by the Mirror Lake, pointing at them and whispering from time to time.
Beigong Weiyang squatted under the bamboo forest and looked at the two who were talking by the lake. He could not help but shake his head and said, "What's so good about learning Flying Sword? It has no sense of beauty at all. What else can it do except to kill people? "
Fifth Brother and Eighth Brother came out of the bamboo forest with chess boxes in their arms. Fifth Brother ruthlessly slapped Beigong's head and scolded, "The tiger is quite beautiful. Why don't you go to hug and kiss it? The difference between a man and a beast is not beauty, but wisdom. What future can he have if he learns to play the flute from you? "
Fifth Brother looked at the lake and shook his head disapprovingly, saying, "Youngest Brother has really gone astray by learning Flying Sword from Second Brother. If he learns chess with us, even if he can't become a national player, he can at least gain some wisdom."
Beigong Weiyang looked at him angrily and said, "Fifth Brother, wisdom is not violence. You don't have to hit my head even if you don't agree with me."
Fifth Brother glared at him and said, "I am your Senior Brother. Are you not convinced that I hit you?"
Beigong Weiyang moved aside and muttered, "Of course I am. How dare I not? But since it is Second Brother who wants Youngest Brother to learn Flying Sword, don't complain here."
Not to mention those who looked gloomy all over the cliff plateau, some of whom, like Eleven, beat their chests and stamped their feet, thinking that their Youngest Brother had been led astray by Second Brother. Second Brother and Ning Que were having a serious conversation by the Mirror Lake, wrapped in the gentle wind of late spring.
"Although you have read Wu Zhanyang's Theory on Haoran Sword, this monograph was written by Mr. Wu, a former sage of the Academy in his later years. Its main purpose is to explore the interaction and conflict between Haoran Sword and Heaven and Earth."
Second Brother looked at Ning Que and said, "This book focuses more on the Tao outside the Tao, which is not something you can fully grasp with your current state. So since you want to learn Haoran Sword, you have to learn from the most basic things."
Ning Que bowed with hands folded in front and said, "Second Brother, please enlighten me."
"Flying Sword is a sword that can fly without human control." Second Brother said calmly.
"Second Brother … is really good at talking nonsense." Ning Que couldn't calm down and thought silently in his heart.
"Controlling the Qi of Heaven and Earth with Psyche Power, touching and controlling the sword body invisibly, and moving the sword around the body is the simplest way of flying sword. The power of flying sword lies in three points: the strength of the Sword Master's Psyche Power, the amount of Qi of Heaven and Earth that can be controlled, the strength of the connection with the sword body, the strength of the sword body itself, and the subtlety of the flying sword body. "
You are still in the No Doubts State, but you can already touch and even control foreign objects, which shows that your Psyche Power is strong enough and the connection with foreign objects is good. But there is another point based on talent, that is, the amount of Qi of Heaven and Earth that you can control. "
Second Brother looked at his eyes and said calmly, "You can see the amount of Qi of Heaven and Earth that a Sword Master can control as an invisible rope in his hand. The more Qi of Heaven and Earth you can control, the stronger and longer the invisible rope will be. Only a rope that is strong and long enough can drive the sword body to fly a longer distance without worrying about getting out of control. "
Ning Que said, "I understand."
Second Brother looked at him and said, "The so-called swordsmanship is actually a different way of controlling the Qi of Heaven and Earth with Psyche Power to control the sword body. The Haoran Sword would rather take the straight than seek the crooked one. It emphasizes on having a firm heart and a firm will. You can use the sword without hesitation and break all obstacles. As for how to do it, you should listen to the Haoran Sword Tactics that I will teach you. "
"Thank you, Senior Brother."
…
…
"Do you remember it?"
"I remember half of it."
"Then I will say it again."
"Yes."
Ning Que suddenly felt that this dialogue was very familiar and thought that he had to answer that he had forgotten all of it later. Then Second Brother brushed his Academy uniform and laughed loudly, saying, "Little Younger Brother, you have understood it. Then go to the dark side and kill all the thieves."
Second Brother frowned and asked, "What about now?"
Ning Que came to his senses and of course did not dare to answer like that. He answered honestly, "I remember all of it."
Second Brother's eyebrows gradually relaxed and he praised, "Little Younger Brother's comprehension is really excellent."
As soon as he finished speaking, he casually waved his hand in the spring breeze by the lakeside and a short and thin wooden sword without a handle appeared in his hand. He handed the hiltless wooden sword to Ning Que and said, "I have said before that we should start from the most basic. Show me your sword first."
Ning Que took the hiltless wooden sword and felt a little cold in his fingers. For a moment, he was a little confused. After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath and said, "Okay."
The disciples of the Second floor of the Academy who were watching around the Mirror Lake saw that Ning Que was finally going to show his sword. They all stood up and watched with curiosity on their faces. Although at this moment they still insisted that it was a very wrong choice for Ning Que to learn the flying sword, which was neither beautiful nor wise to kill people, they were also very curious about Ning Que's level.
Ning Que slowly closed his eyes and felt the weight of the hiltless wooden sword in his hands. He felt that the originally light wooden sword was getting heavier and heavier. The Psyche Power in his sense of perception was driven out of his body and blended with the surrounding Qi of Heaven and Earth. It vaguely touched the place where the wooden sword was and then wrapped the Qi of Heaven and Earth around it according to the method taught by Second Brother.
"Up."
Ning Que opened his eyes and looked at the hiltless wooden sword in his hand. He shouted in a low voice and the Psyche Power in his sense of perception gushed out. The Qi of Heaven and Earth wrapped around the sword suddenly tightened and then violently vibrated!
…
…
In the spring breeze by the Mirror Lake, a thin hiltless wooden sword trembled and flew up.
The thin hiltless wooden sword flew very slowly and trembled uneasily, as if it was extremely frightened.
The wooden sword moved slowly in the air and it was very difficult and strenuous to fly.
Moreover, the wooden sword moved without any regular trajectory. One moment it was on the right side of Ning Que's body, and the next moment it was on the left side of Ning Que's body. One moment it jumped up, and the next moment it was about to fall into the lake.
The wooden sword stopped in the air and looked like an old woman with small feet without a sense of direction.
The disciples of the back of the mountain of the Academy who were watching by the lake opened their mouths wide and could not close them for a long time.
The embroidery needle between Seventh Sister's fingers in the pavilion at the center of the lake fell into the lake and was swallowed by a greedy golden carp.
Beigong Weiyang stood at the edge of the bamboo forest and looked at the hiltless wooden sword in the air by the lake. He said with a serious expression, "I think the sword … will feel ashamed to use the word 'fly' to describe this sword."
Chen Pipi, who was standing not far away, lowered his head in shame and did not want to admit that the person by the lake was his friend.
…
…
The hiltless wooden sword flew back, trembling.
Ning Que opened his eyes wide and saw that it was about to fall. He stretched out his hand like lightning and caught it in his hand. He could not help but feel a little scared. He wiped the sweat on his forehead and turned to Second Brother and asked excitedly, "Senior Brother, what do you think of me?"
The excitement on his face was genuine. In fact, in order to suppress the pride in his heart, he had already used a lot of strength, because he had already given it his all. Moreover, this was indeed the best flight he had ever flown, if things like silver were excluded.
Second Brother looked at him in a daze and said after a long silence, "Youngest Brother, you still can't cultivate your Natal Item. It's not easy for you to do this … Practice slowly and try your best. You will succeed."
After saying this, Second Senior Brother left the lake without looking back.
Ning Que looked at Second Brother's back in shock and then noticed that those Senior Brothers and Sisters by the lake began to drill into the forest again and shook their heads as they walked.
He grabbed Sixth Brother who did not have time to leave because he was fetching water and asked, "Senior Brother, what do you mean?"
After thinking for a long time, Sixth Senior Brother gave a silly smile and replied in a low voice, "Little Junior Brother, Second Senior Brother has always been very straightforward, but he spoke to you so tactfully today … It seems that the situation is really not good."
…
…
Senior Brothers and Sisters all left the lake and returned to their own dense forests under the pine trees and flowers. They began to play the zither and flute, play chess or play flowers in silence. No one laughed at Ning Que and no one came to comfort him. Because in their eyes, Ning Que's performance of the Haoran Sword by the lake was so absurd that they did not know what to say.
Ning Que stood silently by the lake for a while and finally got the answer that was closest to the truth from the attitude of Senior Brothers and Sisters and the explanation of Sixth Brother. He could not help but feel bored. However, after a while, he could not help but laugh when he thought of Second Brother's previous hesitation. Then he continued to practice the sword movement of the Haoran Sword while laughing.
He had thought that it was a very good performance, but in the eyes of Senior Brothers and Sisters on the Second floor of the Academy, it was so bad that it was speechless. This kind of psychological gap might be a great blow to ordinary people, but for Ning Que, especially now, it was nothing at all.
Therefore, by the Mirror Lake at the back of the mountain of the Academy, a wooden sword without a handle like an old woman with small feet flew up from time to time. It flew tremblingly, it flew in panic, it flew aimlessly, or it moved. Sometimes it fell to the ground, and sometimes it almost stabbed Ning Que himself. Once it even flew directly into the lake and he had to get wet to catch it.
Ning Que kept practicing until the Psyche Power in his sense of perception was squeezed out. Then he stopped panting and sat on a rock by the lake. He held a handful of cool lake water and sprinkled it on his face, letting out a sigh of satisfaction.
Chen Pipi, who had finished repairing the tactical array of the Cloud Gate today, came to the lake. He looked at Ning Que's pale face and suddenly said after a moment of silence, "There are some things that can't be solved by risking one's life."
Ning Que looked up at the blue sky and white clouds and said with a smile, "In the past, you said that cultivation is a gift from Haotian and we can't force it. If we can't cultivate, we can't cultivate. But at least I can cultivate now."
Chen Pipi shook his head and said, "But if you always try so hard, how can your body bear it?"
"I don't try so hard. I just like it."
Ning Que glanced at him and picked up the hiltless sword beside him. He waved it casually in the air and said with a smile, "One day, I will make this sword become … a flying … sword."
