Chapter 23 Stocking
The boy left with his sword, and the sound of the iron continued.
"How about this disciple who Gu Li chose?"
A very piercing sound rang in this blacksmith shop.
The sound is not loud, but it is stuffed into the auricles like substance. It is as soft as cotton, but if stuffed too much, it can easily make people feel bloated and painful.
People don’t know when they will come, and they don’t dress conspicuously.
He was dressed in a coarse cloth, with hemp rope wrapped around his waist, his hands were rough, his palms were covered with calluses, a pair of straw sandals even had several holes broken, his face was not decorated, and his hair was shaved very casually.
If it weren't for the very different demeanor between the sound and the quietness at this time, the middle-aged man would have looked like a woodcutter in the mountains.
“Excellent.”
The blacksmith is extremely simple and said two words.
Just these two words, the middle-aged man who looked like a woodcutter was very moved.
"Can you talk?"
He looked at the blacksmith solemnly, said this subconsciously, and said a little apologized in an instant, "I'm really curious. Even those peerless swords, you'll just make a simple judgment when you see them. OK, or it's okay, or it's a little bit unsuccessful. I've never heard of these two words from you."
"The sword is a dead thing, but he can live on him. He knows the true nature and knows the original intention." The blacksmith thought for a while and said, "And without thinking too much, if there is a way to go, he will take it."
"What else?"
The middle-aged man with a woodcutter looked even more serious.
“Not enough?”
The blacksmith seemed to think he was a little vulgar, and paused, saying, "The sword moves in the Liuyun Sword Sutra are too simple for him. You can read them after reading them. Whether it is meditation and entering into meditation or absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it is the first among all people I have ever seen. Being able to kill people above the level... Are these enough?"
"That's not only enough, it's also a bit scary." The middle-aged man, who looked like a woodcutter, let go of his frown and smiled bitterly.
"Although I, Zhu Feng, may not necessarily be the best sword refining master in the world, at least among the well-known sword refining masters in Qin, no one has refined more swords than me, and no one is better than the sword I refined. But after practicing swords for so many years, Gu Li has not taken a look at a single sword. He doesn't even look at my sword, but he regards this disciple as a treasure. This is conceivable."
The blacksmith's words seemed a little lonely, but his expression became more relieved and cheerful.
"Then I also figured out why Gu Liren came to see you, but he didn't see me, and didn't even let me know that he had been here and picked a disciple here."
The middle-aged man who looked like a woodcutter took a deep breath, but his eyes were filled with unspeakable emotion, "He knew that I was tired of the world, so he didn't want to get me in again. It's just that I owe him a favor. His disciple wanted to practice in this area, and this disciple was his place of sustenance. How could I not help him take a look?"
"Where is love and friendship, this is the best in the world. As for good wine and meat, it's all bullshit."
The middle-aged man with the appearance of a woodcutter laughed, laughing wildly and proudly.
The blacksmith remained silent.
Even if your body and mind are not in the world, who can truly escape from the world?
...
Wang Jingmeng has not left this mountain village yet.
He looked at the dozens of villagers kneeling in front of him and frowned slightly. He felt that he had to figure out a problem first.
How to practice?
This is a crucial question.
Hunting those ferocious beasts, exchanging fur and flesh for life needs is of course different from absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into your body, practicing the sword scriptures, and killing people.
He felt that he had to think clearly about what he would do in the future.
The most important thing for a person is to live.
It is better to live without dying. This is an old saying that is universal.
There are almost no one in the world who is determined to die.
Because the person who really wants to die has long been dead, he would say that he wants to die when he meets someone. He is still looking at the morning sun tomorrow after a hundred times.
When he is alive, he seeks fullness and warmth. After he is fullness, he seeks comfort and comfort. He was able to live well a few years ago and be able to be comfortable with the purple bamboo in the mountains. This is something that the old hunters who have been walking in the mountains for decades cannot easily do. Of course, he understands that he is too different from ordinary people.
It is actually not much difference between being in a corner and looking at the sky in a well.
He didn't have the moment that needed to think carefully about his life.
But Gu Liren appeared.
He became a true practitioner, and the heaven and earth before him suddenly became widespread.
But the most important thing is that Gu Li is too strong and too high.
This feeling was like before he could see the river in front of him clearly, Gu Liren had already carried him to the clouds, and then pointed to the world below and said, look, this is the real world.
But those who are high and flying in the clouds may not be immortals who can escape from the world, but more are birds shot down by hunters.
It was time for him to think about what he would do in the future.
Killing people for survival does not require any special thoughts. People threaten my life and death, so I naturally have to resist. This is just instinct.
But taking the initiative to kill people is the reason and the purpose.
The villagers who are kneeling in front of him now ask him to kill.
Seeing him silent, the villagers thought he was unwilling to do so. At that moment, several people led them to kowtow and kept promising to raise as much money as possible. Even as long as he provided a place to live, they would raise money to send it every year.
"I don't love money."
Wang Jingmeng did not listen carefully to what these villagers said later. He ignored the more promises made by the villagers. He figured it out a little, raised his head and said, "I will go and see. If he is really the same as you said, I will kill this person. You don't need to give me anything."
All these villagers were stunned.
They can't believe it.
"Man is a creature, and he is also the same. Killing is something that most people will never do in their entire lives, so it is sacred. So I kill only because of myself, not because of others."
Wang Jingmeng looked at the villagers with doubt in her eyes and said calmly: "I want to kill this person because I think this person is extremely evil. It's just that this person makes me dislike it. I hate it too much. I will act from my heart."
These villagers could not understand Wang Jingmeng's words at this time, but they heard that Wang Jingmeng really wanted to see the person they were talking about and would really kill the person.
As for whether that person is the same as they said, they are not worried because everything they say is true.
Wang Jingmeng turned and left.
He held the new sword that made him feel very comfortable.
This sword has been stored in the box for many years and has not yet been stained with blood.
He was in a very happy mood at this moment.
It’s not that he completely understood what he would do in the future, but that he didn’t need to see too far at any time. He thought it through, and any choice needed to completely listen to his inner voice.
If it is not what you really want to do, if you can’t make yourself happy by doing this, then what’s the point of practicing? If you don’t get more powerful power, what’s the point of it?
At this time, he felt more and more respect and admiration for Gu Liren. He was very lucky to meet such a teacher.
He truly understood why Gu Liren just threw him a few sword scriptures, left him a few ways, and left without being by his side.
This is true stocking.
Because Gu Liren wants him to follow his own preferences, be at will and act with the flow.
Gu Liren doesn't want to use his own ideas and preferences to influence his ideas and preferences.
