In the Blade

As we all know, for Jianghu people, it is not too common to seek advice from their seniors, but it is far from rare.

The reason why it is not common is naturally because everyone knows that knowledge, especially knowledge that can make people stronger, has always been the most valuable thing. We are not related to each other, so why should we give it to them? you?

In fact, sometimes, even if they are related by relatives, they may not be able to get true teachings. After all, teaching an apprentice to starve the master to death, or even teaching the apprentice to beat the master to death, does not take much.

Of course, if you only look at it from this perspective, it is somewhat extreme. In fact, for many senior experts, they may not be willing to teach each other, but if they just give some advice, then they I won't be too stingy - to put it bluntly, after you have a skill, people will always have the idea of ​​​​showing off their skills. When there are not so many equally matched opponents, giving some guidance to the juniors is another opportunity to show off their skills. .

And when you meet such kind-hearted people, if you call them "senpai" a few more times and pay more attention to etiquette, you may be able to really get guidance from them and learn their skills.

Wang Wenshun is doing this kind of operation now, and it is also the situation when most juniors in the world meet their seniors - it doesn't even matter if the other party is not necessarily a senior. As the saying goes, if there are dates and no dates, it will take three shots. To what?

This is not only true for the seemingly immature senior in front of him, he is also like this for most people who seem to be stronger than him.

Unless the two sides really had a grudge and would draw their swords to attack each other when they met, he would actually be happy to ask those experts for advice.

After all, this is what everyone does. Among the relatively young generation of martial arts masters, this is almost a routine and an unwritten unspoken rule.

But therein lies the problem.

Wang Wenshun is a veteran of the Jianghu world, so he naturally acts according to the rules of the Jianghu people.

But the young man he asked for advice had never been in the world at all.

Ordinary Jianghu people often have a mature response process when encountering this kind of asking for advice. Some people want to show off their skills, so they can just give a few pointers. If they don't have the intention to give advice, then they can find an excuse to explain it, and it will be over. -After all, asking for advice, in the final analysis, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. If the person being consulted really doesn't want to say a word, there is no way to force the person seeking advice. After all, the strength and weakness are there, and you can't beat him.

However, first of all, this young man is not a Jianghu person and does not know these coping methods. Secondly, as the party being consulted, he cannot defeat Wang Wenshun who seeks advice.

This also made him unable to think of refusing at the first time. After all, the opponent was indeed stronger than him. A person stronger than him actually asked him for advice. He really didn't know how to refuse - if he just chose to refuse without showing his ability. , will that make the other party angry? If the other party proposes to fight, will he have no choice but to be beaten?

The young man had never dealt with this kind of thing before, which made his brain go into chaos. In his daze, he didn't even know what he was committing.

It wasn't until he went to bed at night that he remembered that he seemed to have agreed to teach the Jingtao Sword King tomorrow.

The good news is that he managed to get one night, but the bad news is how could he agree to this kind of thing - he claims to be good and can teach, but the problem is that with his three-legged cat's skills, how can he teach anyone? What's coming?

"Why don't you go?"

The boy immediately thought of breaking the appointment.

Although this kind of thing is not good, there are many reasons to look for, such as it is my birthday today, my eyes are bleeding, or I have a cold or fever, or I have diarrhea-anyway, I encountered some force majeure and I really can't go.

But after thinking for a moment, the young man realized that this method didn't work.

As for the reason why it doesn't work, it's naturally because the King of Jingtao Sword already knows where the other person is. He can pretend to be sick, but the King of Jingtao Sword will probably come directly for a home visit - in case he is caught in person. If exposed, this matter will be even more troublesome.

"So..."

After thinking for a moment, the young man turned his attention to Du Chengfeng, who was getting ready to sleep.

"Well, I have something to ask."

"How to say?"

Du Chengfeng was about to wash up.

"What happened? Did you spend all your wages again?"

"No, what should I say about this? What happened is like this..."

The young man thought for a moment and then roughly described the problem he encountered - but he didn't say a word about the King of Jingtao Sword. He only said that some friends of the same age in the town had seen his strong physique. I want to ask him for advice.

This sounds like it's just a trivial matter between peers, and his hanging out with the gangsters will not be investigated in detail. After all, the other two adults in the station don't seem to like him hanging out with the gangsters, but they are more willing to do so. Send him to a private school.

That was all he wanted to say.

Read a book, read shit.

Times have changed a long time ago. It is no longer the time to get ahead by studying some sage books. Now if you really want to have a future, you still have to be a master of evil spirits. With a weapon in hand, you can dominate the world. You can kill whoever you want and go wherever you want. Which - even if you eat a king's meal, as long as you leave a trace, it will be a good story, not just freeloading.

He really wanted the other two adults in the inn to understand this, but the old man was really a stubborn man. Perhaps it was because his son died in the Jianghu fight. The old man actually disliked the Jianghu people. As for this man himself, he was a master. Du Chengfeng, despite his limited abilities, unreasonably supported the old man's decision. Both of them felt that he should go to school.

"Just wait! When I become a master of evil spirits, you will know that I am right!"

Thinking like this, the young man became ambitious for a while.

But no matter how ambitious he is, he still has to solve the current problems.

"So...is there any way?"

The young man smiled apologetically.

"Just, the kind that can teach others..."

"Teach others..."

Du Chengfeng touched his head and began to think.

He really hadn't thought about this problem.

If given guidance, he can actually do it. After all, he has now accumulated a profound theoretical foundation. Although a large part of it is still in the process of exploration, the other part that has been verified can be used. In other words, if he wanted to, he could turn an ordinary evil spirit into a real first-rate master at any time.

But that’s where the problem lies.

Those who can accept his guidance and understand the ideas he expresses, even if they are the worst, must be able to let out evil spirits.

The evil spirit has not been released, which means that the edge of mental power has not been touched. The two sides are still at the level of fighting each other. There is actually no explanation for this level of fighting - the essence of power has not been truly touched before. , Du Chengfeng may still struggle with expressions such as some moves, but for him right now, all battles are essentially a competition of wills.

Just like his battle with that burly man, it might look like a back-and-forth fight, but in essence, it was him who predicted and disrupted the burly man's battle in advance by nailing the bald pen. will. Otherwise, the density of his body is comparable to fine steel, and the blade on the other side has infinite battery life. If neither of them wants to retreat, they may not be able to make a difference even if they fight for three days and three nights.

Of course, it is also possible to make an explanation, such as the two sides unanimously deciding to launch a decisive blow. However, although this can determine the winner, it is essentially meaningless.

After all, Du Chengfeng's side has gradually moved away from the previous stage of looking for opponents.

"I have no opponent, I have no opponent, I have no opponent..."

This is the five-character mantra that Du Chengfeng often recites silently, and it is also the practical application he uses on himself after he understands mental power to a certain extent.

Facts have proved that these things seem to be useful. At least until now, he has not encountered a new kind of powerful enemy that can bring him huge trouble - but even if these things are compared to the release of evil spirit, It is also a little too difficult to understand. As for those things that cannot be done by releasing the evil spirit, they cannot even understand it. For example, those so-called masters who have just entered the body with evil spirit have just strengthened their will, which already requires them to put in a lot of effort. .

What's more, those children in the town can't even let the evil spirit enter their bodies.

"What does this tell them?"

Du Chengfeng's mind went blank. He had never considered this level in his theoretical system. Right now, all he could think of was eating well, sleeping well, doing more activities on weekdays, and paying attention after exercising. Stretching, or doing two sets of radio gymnastics.

Just like what the boy who asked this question usually does, there is actually no advanced training at this age. In other words, being able to lay a good physical foundation is already considered very good at this age.

"I've tried this... too."

When Du Chengfeng talked about this, the young man started scratching his head in embarrassment.

"Just, I have tried to tell them this, but they all think that this kind of thing is not interesting..."

"Oh, you said this."

Du Chengfeng slapped his forehead.

He vaguely understood the problem.

The so-called laying a good foundation and building up good physical fitness are important things in his eyes, but they are only important to him - in the eyes of these young people, it is just running, jumping and squatting, or following the rules. Practicing gymnastics and the like with prescribed routines is similar to reading from a script over and over again in a private school. It is somewhat too rigid and rigid, and it is also quite boring to do.

To put it bluntly, it's just not interesting enough or attractive enough. It's all mechanical and repetitive stupid work.

"Indeed."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng's gaze towards the young man changed somewhat.

From this point of view, his previous training plan was a bit rough. He only considered that this young man was growing up, so eating well and training well would improve his physical fitness. However, he forgot that young people When your mind is out of control, you may not be able to endure such hardship.

Now think about it, this child can hold on for so long without crying, which can be regarded as perseverance. However, no matter how perseverant he is, there is a limit after all - just like now, this child opens his mouth and says, "I have a friend." "I'm afraid it's not purely out of thin air. This young man is asking for himself, asking if there is any more interesting training method.

But the practice should be more interesting...

"Let me think about it."

Du Chengfeng signaled the young man not to explain, while he himself fell into deep thought.

This is an unknown area for him. He has never thought about this problem before. After all, in his theoretical system, efficiency is always the first priority. How to practice to quickly improve kung fu and what kind of fighting style can quickly make people stronger are what he values. As for the fun...

At the moment, the first thing he can think of is the competition mechanism.

For example, for endurance training, everyone organizes a competition to see who can run the farthest. After the ranking is arranged, people will have the enthusiasm to participate. After all, no one wants to be inferior to others, and this is also a way to get everyone involved.

But after thinking about it carefully, Du Chengfeng rejected this idea.

Just because this idea is too hurtful.

In his opinion, young people should be more happy when they get together. If they have to score, these young people may even fight because of this. Although the purpose of scoring is achieved, it also loses the original intention of making them progress. Giving up the original goal for the sake of the method is a bit of a waste of time.

"But if we don't use this..."

Du Chengfeng began to scratch his head.

If he doesn't use this method, he can only work hard on the training itself, which is a big project for him - just because getting stronger is actually not interesting. It is boring, frightening, and even possible to die at any time. At present, he can take safety into consideration, which is a great progress, but if he wants to add fun...

Is there really any way to attract people to take this boring road and become stronger step by step?

It seems difficult.

After all, these are three different directions of thinking, and they are difficult to be integrated together.

Taking into account safety, fun, and getting stronger, theoretically, these three conditions are difficult to exist at the same time - after all, fun often means adventure, and adventure is definitely not safe. It is safe and interesting, and it is highly likely that it has nothing to do with getting stronger.

The three directions vaguely form a triangle. It is difficult for such a thing to take all three angles into consideration at the same time.

Does such a thing really exist?

"Maybe...it really exists?"

Du Chengfeng vaguely thought of a direction.
