One hundred and seventy-eight chapters, Lang's heart is like iron
Chapter One Hundred and Seventy-Eight: A man with a strong heart
You Fang was practicing his sword on the river beach. His figure was as fast as a shadow. There were his footsteps on the river beach in the distance. There were no sunken footprints in the soft mud under his feet. With every step he took,
When you step on it, a wet footprint-shaped water mark will be left on the river beach, and then gradually disappear without a trace.
His body skills, sword skills, formations, strength, and spiritual consciousness have reached such a high level that there are almost no traces left. It is quite similar to the artistic conception of what the ancients said: "an egret in the frost, a silver bowl filled with snow."
There are light clouds in the sky, the weather is sultry, and the hot and humid breeze blows from the river, carrying the annoying and restless atmosphere of the subtropical zone. This is the most uncomfortable aspect of Guangzhou's climate in this season. There is no perfect Feng Shui in the four seasons.
pattern.
As the sword technique unfolds, there seems to be hazy light from the stars and the moon shining through the clouds. Between the visible and the invisible, the earth's energy and spirit are purified and transferred with them. From a more macro perspective, the world
The spiritual axis between them moves along the Baiyun earth veins, and the water of the Pearl River moves with natural rhythm, endlessly.
But You Fang himself felt that tonight the sword seemed to be messy and disorganized, and Qin Yu, who was dancing in front of him, looked a little confused, as if he was in a state of confusion. The sword would not be like this, but his sword would be like this.
This is not because he is not good at swordsmanship. In the eyes of onlookers, You Fang's sword dance is extremely wonderful. On the one hand, he was in a chaotic mood tonight and wanted to use this sword dance to vent it, but it had the opposite effect. On the other hand, it was complicated.
, since fully comprehending the artistic conception of "continuous as if there is depth" in Baiyun Mountain, You Fang's skill has improved to a higher level, but it has also reached a relative peak.
How to describe it? To use an analogy, it is like an athlete. He has been training with the coach since he was a child, and his grades have gradually gotten better and better. He has started to get rankings in sports meets, and his rankings have become higher and higher. But after reaching a certain point, there is no way to improve.
Well, in theory, if you run just one second faster, you can win the Olympic championship, but in fact it is impossible, no matter how hard you train, you can't.
You Fang knew in his heart that practicing swordsmanship was already a relative bottleneck. If he continued to practice like this, he would only become more proficient, but it would be difficult to make a qualitative breakthrough. It would only be a different person. He could be proud of himself at such a young age.
, But You Fang is different. The master's instructions are to fully cultivate Qin Yu's spirituality. Now, even if he practices for a lifetime, he will not be able to achieve this state.
People like Little Wanderer are not afraid of how difficult the climb is. If you can't go up for a while, you can always see the road. The most disturbing thing is that you seem to be standing at a peak with no way up, but you know in your heart that this is not the way up at all.
Being at the peak will inevitably affect your mood.
After finishing the sword practice, You walked towards the river beach and found a dry place to sit down and think deeply. Today he and Xie Xiaoxian had a falling out. He was using the topic to deliberately find trouble. Some of his words sounded angry, but they were not.
What have you always wanted to say? I really wronged her today. Alas, it’s okay to say something clearly to avoid trouble in the future.
But does he really not care about her? If the charming little wanderer doesn't care about her, why would he treat her like that? Let's talk about it, there is another reason, Xie Xiaoxian blocked the door to give a "surprise", You Fang was also helpless, but during this time
Since then, he has chosen to show her the best side she wants to see.
You Fang has tried his best. How has he been so honest since he was a child? He has done half a year's homework in half a month. And he is either pretending, or he means it sincerely. When they quarreled, he talked about Tu Su and Xiao Yu, but he actually meant it.
, and he doesn’t want to always leave a bad impression on Xie Xiaoxian.
The friendship they have had over the years, to exaggerate, is another kind of childhood sweetheart. Even if it cannot reach another level of intimacy, at least he does not want to lose this friend. According to Xie Xiaoxian's wish, he has done his best,
I am looking for a state where I can get along peacefully within the existing relationship.
He succeeds and fails. He seems to be getting along in peace, but once something happens, conflicts will still break out. If he continues, unless someone changes, going further will only bring harm instead of better feelings. Seen at the dinner table
Xie Xiaoxian's expression made You Fang irritated for a moment. Maybe it wouldn't be like this for another person or another situation.
He has sincerely sought a peaceful relationship with Xie Xiaoxian. If something happens and she still reacts like that, You Fang can't stand it, so he might as well find an excuse to fall out. Don't blame him for not trying.
Sitting by the river, You Fang finally sorted out his somewhat chaotic thoughts, and couldn't help but wonder, how is Xie Xiaoxian doing now? With this in mind, he touched the dagger at his waist, raised his eyes to look towards the river, and suddenly shouted softly.
: "Qin Yu, what's wrong with you? Don't cry!"
Shit, there was a big fuss today. Qin Yu, the sword spirit that he had seen in his mind, was looking at him with tears in his eyes not far away. You Fang stretched out his hand and subconsciously wanted to take Qin Yu into his arms and hold him in his arms to comfort him.
.A sword light rose from the river, carrying the power of the white clouds and the flowing water of the Pearl River, like the moonlight into the arms.
This action is amazing! When onlookers saw it, they would just think that the young man was crazy, but this action was not done by imagination. You Fang was really hugging Qin Yu. Qin Yu had no real form, and You Fang used his spiritual consciousness to
Condensing the earth energy spiritual hub she sensed, incorporating the spirit of the sword energy into a real form, and holding it in her arms.
Immediately afterwards, You Fang turned around with a somersault, made a sword gesture with his left hand, and took out a tungsten light stone with his right hand. He let out a loud shout that made the ground tremble. The stone in his hand burst out into a dazzling light, taking in the incoming people.
Jian Guang, barely able to stand still, was already covered in cold sweat. The weather was hot and his clothes were thin. It was impossible for You Fang to hide nine crystal stones on his body like in the winter. He only brought this one tungsten crystal with him. Fortunately, he had
Such a spiritually refined and pure tungsten stone, otherwise I would have been injured today!
Sword Spirit Qin Yu had no intention of hurting You Fang, but You Fang himself would be hurt by the sword. How could a master like Xiao Youzi make such a mistake in a daze? When he regained consciousness, the cold sweat had dried, You Fang
He looked up at the sky and said to himself: "Master, I was wrong!"
"Your master, I'm not in the sky, I'm behind you! Damn, is this okay? You actually found the doorway, so you don't need to worry about me. You little wanderer, I've been waiting for you in Chongqing for so long, and you don't care either.
Come to me? Count the days and you should come, unless you haven’t mastered sword practice and spent so much time with Xiang Yinghua in vain!
It makes me come to Guangzhou to look for you. My practice has not been neglected. I am just picking up girls every day! Okay, if you like picking up girls, just go to the bar and don’t delay your business. You, a disciple, are really worry-free. You can figure out the secrets by yourself.
Just keep practicing. If there is no problem, there is no need for me to bother you. I can finally have some leisure time for a while."
On the river embankment in the distance, there is a little old man sitting on a horse to enjoy the shade. This is very common when the weather is hot. Even if someone walks by, they will not pay attention to him. What's more special is that this man looks like
He blended into the night, and his aura was hidden in the invisible. When You Fang came to the riverside to practice swordsmanship, he observed that there were no other people around, and he was not found at that time.
Liu Li muttered to himself, stood up, paced with his hands behind his back, and left with a smile on his face. He didn't even leave the pony, and didn't show up to say hello to his apprentice.
Why did You Fang say that? It was because of what Liu Li mentioned when explaining the method of refining the state of mind: in the past, there were great joys and sorrows, and thrilling things.
The demon who wants to go crazy must have something to send, and what he has sent must not be lost.
Looking back now, after "great joy, great sadness, and thrilling moments," the true meaning of tranquility in everyday words and deeds is what Zhuangzi calls "Ning Ning." You Fang once tried to find it but failed to find it, and he almost missed it when practicing sword practice tonight.
After hurting himself, he finally woke up and understood, could he really do it?
But he at least gained something. He stood there and carefully recalled the scene where he was almost injured just now. He inadvertently wanted to do something that he couldn't do yet, but the method was not problematic. He had already seen the way to turn divine consciousness into divine thought, but
If the skill gap is too far, the realm will naturally not be reached. Condensing the sword spirit with spiritual consciousness and turning it into a real form is the way to fully cultivate Qin Yu's spirituality. He still needs to take his time.
Thinking of this, You Fang shook his head and smiled bitterly, then turned and left the river. He seemed to be still standing on a peak, but he vaguely saw another higher mountain.
While walking on the road, he thought of Xie Xiaoxian again. It was his fault tonight, but it was wrong, and there was nothing he could do about it. This was what the little wanderer told himself. He did not go home, but walked through the city.
Qi Ruoxue's apartment.
The clouds gradually dispersed at some point, and the moonlight shone on him, and the stars were like eyes in the sky. Every time Xie Xiaoxian made something happen, You Fang always ended up on Qi Ruoxue's bed, which was really weird.
! Is it a complete coincidence? It may not be. If Xie Xiaoxian hadn't been like that the first time, You Fang wouldn't have been able to "play with fire" with Qi Ruoxue next time.
In fact, the person who touched You Fang the most was Xie Xiaoxian, but he didn't dare to be touched. What he really disliked was not Xie Xiaoxian, but the side that he didn't want to face in his heart - the so-called helplessness of being in the world. You Fang
I haven't realized this until now, and maybe I will never realize it, but the stars in the sky seem to be visible.
When You Fang was practicing swordplay by the river, Xie Xiaoxian looked at the mirror with tears in her eyes in the bathroom. She couldn't understand why You Fang was so angry and unreasonable today. He had never been like this in front of her.
When he left, he slammed the door and almost knocked her unconscious. She had never suffered such injustice in front of him? You Fang has always been very afraid of her and very obedient to her.
After watching for a long time, she gradually calmed down and suddenly cursed: "Little wanderer, you are the big bad guy!"
This scolding was a bit funny. After the scolding, she was not so angry anymore. She washed her face and made a decision - go next door to apologize! Because she suddenly wanted to understand one thing. Why was You Fang angry? Because of this paragraph
For a long time, You Fang's performance was simply cute and honest. Xie Xiaoxian had never seen such a diligent classmate in his memory.
Xie Xiaoxian once went to his room and read his books and notes. He was very surprised. He is really very professional and even well-educated in the appreciation of cultural relics. I am afraid that ordinary master's degree graduates cannot compare at all.
He just wants to pass the examination and defense to get a diploma.
Isn't what he is doing exactly what she wants? And he has worked so hard, but why do she still treat him like a gangster? What happened tonight also proved that she was indeed wrong, no matter what
Reason. If you were in Yu Fang's place, you would also get angry. He is already like this, how can you satisfy him?
Alas, let’s forget it. There’s nothing wrong with a man having a temper. Although his anger is excessive, there are reasons for it. As long as you don’t want to really break up, just let him do it once. Apologize now, and it won’t lead to a quarrel.
.
Xiao Yu looked out through the peephole of the security door and asked: "Tu Su, brother You Fang really didn't go there?"
Tu Su: "No, I heard him go downstairs and said he won't come back tonight, why are he going there?"
Xiao Yu stood up straight and said: "Why don't you do it? Why don't you do it? Just don't go."
At this moment, the door opposite opened. Xie Xiaoxian came over and knocked on the door. Xiao Yu opened the door and asked, "Sister Xiaoxian, what can I do for you?"
Xie Xiaoxian glanced inside: "Is You Fang there? Is he still asleep?"
Xiao Yu shook his head: "No, Brother You Fang went out and said he wanted to practice. He won't be back tonight. He also told us to lock the door."
Xie Xiaoxian went back disappointed. She finally made up her mind to take the initiative to apologize, but You Fang ran away from home overnight without giving her this chance. After she left, Xiao Yu made a mysterious hook: "Tu Su, come here, I
I have something to tell you."
When the two entered the room, Tu Su asked in confusion: "There is no one else at home, why do you talk like this?"
Xiao Yu: "Sister Xiaoxian had a fight with brother You Fang. Her expression was wrong. Did you see it?"
Tu Su: "I can see it. Maybe it's because of what happened tonight. The two of us were scolding each other... Sister Xiaoxian means well. Brother You Fang shouldn't be angry with her."
Xiao Yu waved her hand: "Let's not talk about it anymore. I was the one who scolded her the worst. I hid in the room just now and didn't dare to go out. But it was a bit strange that they were arguing. If she didn't care so much, why would Brother You Fang quarrel with her?
...Tu Su, let me ask you, has brother You Fang ever chased you?"
Tu Su blushed, lowered his head and said, "Why do you ask these?"
Xiao Yu: "Don't worry about why, just tell me if it's true or not."
Tu Su's head dropped even lower: "It's not like you don't know, maybe you think I'm still young. My father doesn't allow me to talk about my boyfriend too early, and I even talked to him about this..."
Xiao Yu: "I have made an agreement with you. If Brother You Fang doesn't chase you in the future, I will chase him. I can't take advantage of outsiders!"
What he said was similar to closing the door and dividing the spoils. Tu Su raised his head in astonishment: "What outsider, Sister Xiaoyu, what do you mean?"
Xiao Yu's face was also a little red, but she deliberately said carelessly: "Can't you see that Officer Xie is interested in Brother You Fang? Otherwise, why would he live across the street?"
Tu Su lowered his head again: "I can see it, but this kind of thing depends on Brother You Fang's own opinion. What do others say? Besides, Sister Xiaoxian is a very nice person. What happened tonight was entirely out of good intentions."
Xiao Yu patted her: "We are talking about outsiders, not bad guys! Compared to the two of us, Xie Xiaoxian is an outsider. Don't get me wrong, what I mean is that if brother You Fang doesn't chase you in the future, I will.
Go to hell, you can’t take advantage of outsiders anyway.”
Tu Su asked hesitantly: "You have lived with brother You Fang for so long, why didn't you chase him?"
Xiao Yu's expression became shy: "I'm not afraid of anything. I don't know why. I'm just afraid of Brother You Fang. When he stares at me, I feel unsure. How can I dare to joke around? Only the two of us know what we're going to say today.
You must never tell Brother You Fang."
Little did the two of them know that Brother You Fang had already arrived at the outsider's doorstep at this moment.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Qi Ruoxue took a shower, changed into her pajamas, put a crystal on the bedside table and was about to go to bed when someone knocked on the door. She was surprised and walked to the living room and looked out through the door mirror.
, quickly opened the door, and then looked at the person outside the door intently, his nose was sore that he couldn't shed tears, and for a while, his throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn't speak.
You Fang clasped his fists in front of the door: "Young student came to Beijing to take the exam. I just missed my dormitory in my hurry. I saw that there is no other house in this wilderness. Can I stay overnight?"
"You're not afraid that I'm a vixen. You can stay here for the rest of your life. If you want to sing, come in and sing, don't stand at the door!" Qi Ruoxue smiled, stretched out her hand to pull him in, closed the door, snuggled into his arms and said: "
I just sent you an email yesterday. I wonder if you will reply to me this month. I didn’t expect..."
You Fang caressed her waist and hips: "I wanted to reply, but then I thought, it would be better to come see you."
"You came here so late, have you eaten? If not, I will cook it for you."
You Fang lowered his head and said, "Can I eat you?"
The next day, You Fang did not leave quietly like last time. When Qi Ruoxue left, he had not gotten up yet. And Qi Ruoxue was also late, arriving at the company almost at noon, which made assistant Wu Linlin very
Surprised. In her memory, although no one supervised Dong Qi's attendance, this immediate boss was almost never late.
Qi Ruoxue has been very busy at work recently. On the one hand, she has accumulated a lot of matters to deal with during the holidays. On the other hand, Hengming Group has just won the Xunluan Building project and has a lot of preparatory work to do.
During the following period until the summer vacation of CUHK, Xie Xiaoxian never found a chance to apologize to You Fang, and You Fang had no intention of apologizing to her. She was very busy at work and often came back late, so breakfast should be the best time
There was no chance to talk, but You Fang went out earlier than her every day and went to the river to practice Kung Fu. When he had time, he also taught Hua Youxian the basics of Kung Fu.
The two met occasionally. Xie Xiaoxian wanted to talk, but You Fang just nodded like an ordinary acquaintance, with a lukewarm attitude and did not say hello. If Xie Xiaoxian arrived at his house, You Fang would just hide in the room and review his homework.
In short, his attitude was obviously that he didn't want to pay attention to her.
Such a cold face made Xie Xiaoxian, who originally wanted to apologize, feel depressed and got angry again, so the two of them stopped talking altogether, which was like a complete quarrel.
