Now that Gong Jiu had caught up with him, Su Yang simply found an inn and slept peacefully all night.
Su Yang had already gotten up before dawn, while Gong Jiu was still sleeping.
People who are confident can always sleep soundly. In other words, Gong Jiu also had a premonition that there was going to be a big war, so he also had to be energetic.
Wanmei Villa.
The villa is on a hillside. There are flowers all around the hillside, but there is not a single flower in the villa.
This is the place where Ximen Chuixue was born and grew up. Except for killing people, he never left here in his life.
Standing on the hillside and looking at the flowers all over the mountains and fields, Su Yang felt as if a person who grew up in such an environment could actually get used to killing people.
Did he kill people just because he was too lonely? Su Yang believed that if there was no one worth killing or someone who must be killed, Ximen Chuixue could even stay in Wanmei Villa for the rest of his life. Maybe one day when he comes to see him, this guy has solidified
became a statue.
Fortunately, there are still many people in the world who are worthy of killing, and people in the world also know that there is a Ximen Chuixue who can kill people, so no matter who does something bad, they will feel a little afraid in their hearts.
There are no flowers in sight in the room, but it is filled with the fragrance of flowers, soft and faint, just like Ximen Chuixue.
Su Yang was leaning on a soft chair made of ivy, looking at Ximen Chuixue.
The wine in Ximen Chuixue's cup is light blue, and the snow-white clothes on his body are light and soft.
The sound of the flute, softer than the spring breeze, seemed very close. It also seemed far away, but the flute player could not be seen.
"Where are those women?" Su Yang remembered that Sun Xiuqing and several junior sisters also lived here, and they seemed to have given Ximen Chuixue the cooking skills.
Ximen Chuixue shook his head: "Loneliness seems to be contagious."
"Are they infected?"
"It seems not yet." Ximen Chuixue gave a rare smile: "Just because they are not infected, they still know how to travel. This time they will have to go for about a month."
"When did you leave?"
"When the news came that you had stolen 35 million, I prepared some money for them and let them go around and have fun." Ximen Chuixue said with a smile: "Women always like to spend money, but why?
I have some spare money."
"You knew I was coming to find you?"
"I only know that among the people you know, I have the highest martial arts skills." Ximen Chuixue and Sun Xiuqing looked at each other after living together for a while. They seemed to be a lot more cheerful, and they actually learned to joke.
This is really a cute and scary thing.
"It seems I shouldn't have come." Su Yang frowned.
"Why?"
"I'm worried that your sword isn't as sharp as it used to be."
“You’ll know once you try it.”
"Where's your sword?"
"Why do we need a sword? Where is the sword not there?"
Su Yang thought for a while and said, "I originally thought your realm was still at sword-free. Now it seems like it's even higher?"
"Since we use swords, why should we insist on having or not having swords? As long as we can kill people." Ximen Chuixue slowly drank the wine in the glass.
"You practice swordsmanship just to kill people?"
"What do you think?" Ximen Chuixue smiled and said: "Many people think that swords are a kind of Tao. I used to think so too. I have been pursuing this Tao. But recently I discovered that Tao is a kind of Tao.
Things are too nihilistic. For a young man who is new to learning swordsmanship, if you tell him that swords are the way, it may make him excited and think that he has entered a new world of martial arts. But at our level, if you tell him that swords are the way,
.It seems a little boring.”
"Boring?" Su Yang was a little surprised.
Ximen Chuixue nodded: "Yes, boring. Can you tell me. What exactly is Kendo? Is it square or round? Long or short? It seems to be used during the day or at night?"
Su Yang shrugged: "I really don't know."
"Then can you give me a rough description of what kendo is?" Ximen Chuixue asked again.
Su Yang thought for a while: "I can't describe it, because I don't know what it is at all, and I don't even have the most general impression."
Ximen Chuixue smiled: "Not only do you have it, but I don't have it either. If people at our level don't have a basic impression of what kendo is, it can only mean two things."
"What two points?"
"The first possibility of swordsmanship is that it is too profound and cannot be grasped in a lifetime or even several lifetimes. In this case, it is destined that humans cannot understand it, so why pursue it? I can even think that this is simply
It doesn’t exist.” He said: “If it cannot be understood, cannot be pondered, and cannot be observed, it can be regarded as non-existent.”
"What about the second one?"
"Haha, actually I am more inclined to the second one." Ximen Chuixue said with a smile: "Kendo is just something that the martial arts seniors pulled out to pretend to be mysterious and deceptive. If even you and I don't know what it is, then...
It can only mean that there is no such thing.”
"There is no such thing? No kendo?"
"Or it can be said that everything is Tao, there is a Tao for eating, there is a Tao for shitting, there is a Tao for sleeping, there is a Tao for swords, there is a Tao for knives, there is a Tao for blacksmithing, there is a Tao for farming, and there is a Tao for all things, but this Tao no matter what
No one can tell what it is." Ximen Chuixue paused, and then said: "So for swords, what we are pursuing is not something inexplicable that no one can explain. The way of swordsmanship, when implemented, falls into practice.
Where you can see and touch it, it is the way to kill, which is who is faster, more accurate, and more ruthless. A person who has been thinking hard about what swordsmanship is for thirty years will never be the same as a person who has been practicing swordsmanship for three years.
Gao, this is the way of the sword, it's very simple life and death, very simple killing."
"Is there justice, justice, honor or anything like that?"
"Perhaps, but that is not the way of the sword, but the additional results, or the purpose, of the way of the sword."
"You didn't seem like this before." Su Yang said.
Ximen Chuixue smiled and said, "Do you want to know why my thoughts have changed like this?"
"Why?"
"Because of cooking." A warm smile appeared on Ximen Chuixue's face.
"Cooking?" Su Yang asked curiously.
"That's right, cooking, or whatnot, is a matter in the kitchen." Ximen Chuixue looked out the door, seeming to be recalling the past.
"You know, women are very troublesome, especially when several women get together, it can shake the sky," he said.
"Um."
"When they first came here, they took turns cooking. You have to know that it is distressing to be with a few people with poor skills, but it is still distressing to be with a few women with good skills."
"Comparison is a woman's nature. Ugly women often don't compare with appearance. Those who like to compare with appearance are usually good-looking people."
Ximen Chuixue said helplessly: "It's a pity that I am the only man here."
"So why don't you just do it yourself? Where are your servants?" Su Yang asked.
"I have always thought that cooking is a very simple thing, so I leave it to the servants."
Ximen Chuixue said: "I learned the first set of swordsmanship when I was five years old. I also practice swordsmanship. One year of practice is worth ten years of practice for others. People like me have never doubted their own abilities and abilities.
Wisdom, but it was because of that cooking time that I discovered that I don’t know everything, there is a way to everything, and the way is not something that can be solved by just thinking about it in my head."
"Then?"
"Then I made a pot of rice and rotten vegetables that even dogs wouldn't eat." Ximen Chuixue laughed and said, "I was laughed at by Sun Xiuqing and the others for a long time. Fortunately, as I said, I am a very smart person, no matter what I learn,
Soon, after going to the kitchen three or four times, they no longer wanted to go to the kitchen."
"It is not pleasant to be beaten by someone who seems to be the least capable of doing what you are most proud of." Su Yang nodded and smiled.
"It was from that time that I understood that what is Tao is not Tao. It is useless to say it with your mouth or think it in your heart." Ximen Chuixue looked at Su Yang and said word by word: "The so-called Tao is that you can
Doing this well is the way, the royal way."
"What about the means?"
"The righteous way is the way, and the evil way is also the way. There are thousands of ways. The ways are different and you don't need to conspire with each other, but it doesn't mean that the other person's way is necessarily wrong."
Su Yang smiled, Ximen Chuixue seemed to be more popular like this.
"How does your swordsmanship compare to the original if you just talk about it and don't practice the fake moves?" Su Yang said.
Ximen Chuixue laughed: "I haven't had any contact with anyone for a long time. If someone comes, I'll know after a try."
"I remember that if Lu Xiaofeng asked you for help, you asked him to shave his beard. Now that I'm asking you, do you need any conditions?"
"Yes." Ximen Chuixue nodded.
"What?" The conditions for Ximen Chuixue to say it must be very difficult.
"If you really stole that money, remember to give me half of it." Ximen Chuixue said: "I am actually very lazy, and I am not very good at making money. I don't even bother to steal or rob. We are friends. If you become rich,
, of course you have to help me."
Su Yang was speechless: "What if I didn't do it?"
"That's a frame-up." Ximen Chuixue smiled and said, "To frame my friend in front of me, this kind of thing seems to be too disrespectful to me."
"Face? I remember you didn't seem to value this kind of thing before."
Ximen Chuixue seemed to be smiling more today than ever before. He smiled again and said: "Good things and bad things are all my own. I don't want to give them to anyone, and no one can take them."
Su Yang looked at him and suddenly said: "I think you are getting married."
Ximen Chuixue was noncommittal and said calmly: "If that day comes, I will definitely invite you."
Su Yang shook his head: "That's not what I meant. I'm worried that you will die this time. Do you know that the person who came here has a higher martial arts level than Lu Xiaofeng and I combined?"
"How high is that?"
"I can't see the top, and I can't touch the sides." (To be continued...)
