Ai Xin was stunned, stood up, with a fierce look in his eyes, and shouted: "How do you know!" As he spoke, a large golden light appeared faintly behind his back, which seemed to be in the shape of a gold ingot, but the next moment, the gold collapsed, and the gold ingot was
It turned into little golden powder, like countless golden mosquitoes and flies flying around.
The swordsmith said: "I am a swordsmith, so I naturally know. The meaning of the sword is joy, and the sword image is a gold ingot. So your sword is called -"
Ai Xin swallowed and said, "The Gathering of Treasures Sword. I got this sword and wanted to gather all the treasures in the world."
At this time, he already somewhat believed that the swordsmith was so magical, that he could tell the meaning of the sword just by looking at it. What he couldn't do, there might not be an expert in the world who could do it.
Swordsmith, he's so talented.
You must know that even the eldest brother cannot accurately know the meaning of his own sword. The swordsmith is better than the master of Baixiong Mountain in this aspect.
The swordsmith let go of his sword edge, leaned slightly, raised his cheek with his hands, and said with a relaxed expression: "Very good, just if you are willing to talk. Relax, since I am here, I will solve the problem for you.
, you even cover up the problem, how can you untie this knot?"
Ai Xin stared at this overly young face, and gradually relaxed, and the redness in his eyes faded slightly. Thinking about it carefully, he was looking for the most expensive swordsmith, and his reputation was not low. This young swordsmith
His performance just now is not bad. Looking at his calm and calm demeanor, coupled with his skills, he can be saved.
The swordsmith said eloquently: "When there are problems between swordsmen and swords, it is mostly because there is something wrong with the swordsman. Swordsmen are human beings, and people are always fickle. The swordsman chosen at the beginning may not necessarily be the swordsman who grows up later.
.But sometimes, hidden dangers exist from the beginning, and a breakup is bound to happen. How well did you adapt to this sword in the first place?"
Ai Xin said: "Eighty percent."
The swordsmith looked slightly surprised and said, "It's not low. Were you a happy person back then?"
Ai Xin said: "It's not that - I was still a little boy at that time and didn't understand anything. I just listened to what the elder brother said. At that time, the elder brother got the sword and called everyone together and said that everyone should try it.
, whoever picks it up will be given fifty taels of gold."
The swordsmith nodded and said, "You must have been very happy when you heard about gold." His voice was soft and distant, as if it could bring people into memories.
Ai Xin closed his eyes and said: "At that time, I had never seen gold. But I knew that gold and silver were good things. With gold and silver, you would not go hungry, you could eat whatever you wanted, and wear whatever you wanted. That's fine.
Buy a big house, marry a wife, have money to treat your wife when she is sick, and your sister does not need to be sold for money..."
When he said this, his tone was very exciting, with a hint of joy in his excitement.
Although this joy was meager, it was pure. Thinking about it, he had far more than this joy at that time.
The swordsmith said: "I see, at least for you at that time, joy was gold."
Ai Xin didn't answer, and continued to talk to himself: "I was full of longing, so I went up and drew the sword, and with a swipe, I pulled out the sword an inch. At that time, everyone in the room was shocked, and the elder brother laughed very happily, and immediately took out the gold ingot and threw it to
I was holding the gold ingot, so golden and heavy, I have never been so happy..."
"I took the gold ingot and bought a big house at the foot of the mountain. I have a room, my mother has a room, my sister has a room, and several more rooms. I also bought a few acres of land, sow the seeds in the spring, and the food will grow in the autumn...
That autumn, my family's fields had a good harvest. I looked at the golden color of the rice, which was as beautiful as a gold ingot. I felt so happy. With a clatter, the sword popped out, and a small gold ingot appeared on the sword. That was me.
Sword Elephant. That’s when I became a real swordsman.”
The swordsmith said slowly: "Yes, it only took one spring and one autumn to master the sword. It also took one year for the most intelligent man in the world to go from swordsman to swordsman."
Ai Xin smiled proudly and said: "My eldest brother said the same thing. It took him three years to master the sword. He said that my future was limitless. It was great at that time. I followed him around the world, and I took whatever I wanted.
What? I'll kill whoever I don't like with a knife and take all his gold. As my eldest brother said, all I want in life is happiness. As long as I'm in a happy mood, my sword will be invincible."
The swordsmith's brows furrowed slightly and he said, "But you are not always happy."
Ai Xin said: "Yeah, I don't know when, I wasn't so happy. No matter what I did in the past, as long as I got the gold in the end, I would be happy. Once I was happy, I would realize an extremely powerful swordsmanship. Big brother knows
My pleasure is that every time I go out to rob a road, I get cash. I have more and more gold, but later, I am not so happy when I see the gold. I keep the gold at home, pile it up into a hill, and put it on my bed
. Paint the beams and pillars with gold paint, and live in a golden house. But year after year, I still feel less and less happy."
"It doesn't matter if I'm not happy. My eldest brother often sighs, says he's tired, scared, etc., but my sword doesn't allow it. If I'm not happy, I can't learn new swordsmanship. Later, many old swordsmanship can no longer be used. In the end
The gold ingots are cracked, and the sword cannot be controlled. Instead, it is constantly messed up, causing me to fall into chaos and unable to extricate myself... This damn sword!"
He suddenly shouted loudly, his body trembling, and shouted: "Why? Why is this broken sword so difficult to deal with? Only my joy can control this sword? No one else is like this! Everyone else's swords are good, very docile, and very good.
Be obedient! There is nothing wrong with me! Is it so difficult to ask for my sword? Who can be happy all the time? Even a fool cannot be happy all the time?! Meeting a strong enemy makes me happy, falling into a crisis makes me happy, how can I be happy? No
Joy has always harmed me, this is a cursed magic sword!"
He suddenly grabbed the swordsmith and shouted loudly: "Young Master, come and help me! Help me subdue this magic sword!"
The swordsmith looked calm and said: "Do you still want to withdraw the sword?"
Ai Xin paused and said: "No... I don't want to retreat from the sword, I want to be a swordsman! I want to go back to the way I used to be, holding the sword and the sword obeying me. I can control the sword naturally and release my swordsmanship easily.
, just like it was before!”
The swordsmith pondered slightly after hearing this, pointed to the stool in front of him, and said, "Sit down."
Ai Xin was stunned and sat down involuntarily.
The swordsmith said: "The heart of your sword is still made of gold and stone, right?"
Ai Xin said "Huh?", as if he was not very familiar with the realm of Jianxin.
The swordsmith said: "With a sword heart like yours, don't think about the sword intention. Let me put it bluntly, the collapse of your sword image has nothing to do with the joyful sword intention. The sword intention is joy, which does not mean that you are always happy.
Everyone should be happy. The state of mind where the metal and the stone are open means that you and the sword are simply communicating, and there is no interaction yet. It requires you to keep the sword intact and communicate smoothly."
Ai Xin was confused after hearing this, and stared straight at the swordsmith.
The swordsmith said: "Let me be more straightforward. You and Jianyi are two grasshoppers, with Jianxiang acting as a rope to tie you together. The problem you have now is not the grasshopper opposite.
The grasshopper is going to fly, but your rope is going to be broken. In other words, you can be happy when you see the gold ingot, and the gold ingot is the bridge between you and joy. But you can't be happy when you see the gold ingot, so
You can no longer contact the sword. Do you understand?"
Ai Xin was stunned for a moment and said, "Is that so?"
The swordsmith said: "Exactly. In the final analysis, the sword image you chose was not good. It was not the sword image in your heart - you thought you loved Jin Yuanbao very much, but that was just your desire.
That's it. At that time, you lacked wealth and longed for money, but as long as your desire for wealth was satisfied, you no longer loved the gold ingot itself, and it could not bring you joy. The so-called desire is hard to fill, and you are still longing for other things.
, they can also bring you joy, but your sword elephant is fixed by the gold ingot. If you don't love the gold ingot, you can't get close to the sword. It's useless to be happy at other times."
Ai Xin was silent for a long time, then suddenly slapped his thigh and said: "So that's it, damn it, that's it! What should I do? Master, help me!"
Unknowingly, he had completely convinced the swordsmith.
The swordsmith said: "Two methods, one treats the symptoms and the other treats the root cause."
Ai Xin said: "Please give me some advice."
The swordsmith said: "The temporary solution is to find the love for money again. Recall how happy I was when I got the gold ingot, and then convince myself that the most favorite thing in my heart is the gold ingot."
Ai Xin lowered his head and thought about it, gritted his teeth and said: "I don't want to - I'm tired of seeing all that gold! Those gold ingots are piled up, not for eating or drinking. Other brothers went out to have fun with gold and silver, but I piled them all on the kang.
, used as a pressing stone. They thought I was happy, but I have long been unhappy. I want to spend a lot of money, and I want to be romantic and happy!"
The swordsmith said meaningfully: "I guess it was back then. Back then, you were happy when you thought about gold. It wasn't because you liked gold itself, but because you wanted to eat well, drink well, buy a house and land. It shows that you don't like gold any more than the average person, but...
Concrete desire into gold. Then there is another way - change to a sword elephant."
Ai Xin said tremblingly: "Can it be done?"
The swordsmith said: "It's just cleaning the sword - we swordsmiths can do it naturally. After washing the sword, the sword image is gone, just realize it again. What you realized at that time has nothing to do with your current state of mind.
It has nothing to do with me. It’s just that sword cleaning is not cheap.”
Ai Xin was overjoyed and said: "It doesn't matter if it's more expensive! I haven't spent much of the money I've robbed over the years! It's all piled up in my hometown, piles of gold. If you can give me a sword elephant, take it all and give it all away."
Here you go!”
The swordsmith said: "I'll take them all. If you don't have gold, you might like gold again. Even if you do it in vain."
Ai Xin laughed loudly and said: "That's impossible! If I want gold, I can go out and rob as much as I want. What's there to like about something that's so easy to get?"
The swordsmith sighed and said, "Tell me, now, what can make you truly happy?"
Ai Xin thought for a moment and said, "Maybe... murder?"
