Many people have a fear when standing in high places, such as treetops or cliffs. This is a subconscious protective instinct derived from life instinct.
However, when the altitude reaches a certain level, this fear disappears, such as on an airplane above the clouds...
Yundong was probably in such a situation. When Yunjing took him flying at first, he would feel excited, scared and uneasy when he was not far from the ground. But when Yunjing took him flying above the clouds, he calmed down.
At most, he is just curious about his brother's magical ability.
Because Yunjing has been able to control his own flight without making too much noise, and his speed is extremely fast, Yundong doesn't feel much yet. In fact, Yunjing has taken him thousands of miles!
During this process, Yunjing's mental power spread out, taking in the situation in an area with a diameter of a hundred kilometers, and gradually perfected the purpose of bringing out Yundong.
Not long after, the Yunjing brothers were suspended in the void. Yunjing said: "Xiaodong, from now on, just watch and listen, don't make any sound or movement, understand?"
"Brother, where do you want to take me? Just watch and listen. Can I know why?" Yundong asked in confusion and curiosity.
Yun Jing smiled calmly and said, "You don't have to ask these questions now. Just listen to me. Can you do it?"
"Okay, I'll listen to my brother." Yundong nodded seriously. Although his brother had been very strict with him since he was a child and sometimes teased him, he had never harmed him. He was still very clear about this.
Then Yunjing took Yundong and fell straight down.
Below them was a remote town. It was not big, with an estimated population of only ten thousand people. It was late at night, and there were only occasional lights in the town.
Silently, Yunjing brought Yundong down from the sky and arrived at the darkness of a courtyard in the small town.
At this point, Yun Jing said: "Xiaodong, you can hear what I'm saying now, but others can't, so you don't have to answer to avoid being discovered, otherwise we will be regarded as thieves who broke into people's houses."
In fact, Yunjing was able to control Yundong's voice within the range he wanted. He only warned him not to speak in order to let him have more feelings.
At this time, Yun Dong felt curious and excited. He came to someone else's house quietly. This kind of thing had a big impact on him. It was no different from what Yun Jing said about breaking into a private house. The only thing
The only difference is that neither party can notice it in front of other people.
He nodded seriously and even subconsciously covered his mouth, indicating that he would not make any noise and be discovered.
There were more than one person in the small courtyard, about seven or eight, all of whom were about the same age as Yundong. They were practicing martial arts with their shirts off and sweating profusely under the moonlight.
In fact, this is a martial arts gym, a small martial arts gym that only teaches some superficial kung fu.
The scenes of those half-grown teenagers practicing martial arts can be described as tragic. Some people directly hit the boulders with their bodies. They were bruised and bruised, with blood stains everywhere on their bodies. There was almost no intact place. Some
They were practicing in pairs, with each punch making a banging sound. It was a real fight, without holding back at all. The opponent's body was swollen and his mouth was bleeding, and sometimes he fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a while.
Others were beaten while standing, with the iron rods hitting their bodies so hard that their eyelids jumped...
Seven or eight half-year-old boys were practicing martial arts under the moonlight, without any distractions, gnashing their teeth and looking ferocious. Yundong watched quietly, covering his mouth tightly, and his body was trembling slightly.
This scene of martial arts training is too scary. Where can anyone practice like this? It’s just like seeking death, okay? If you don’t pay attention, you will either die or be disabled!
After watching for a while, Yun Jingchuan said to Yun Dong: "I said, you listen, no need to answer, you see, this is martial arts training, is it different from what you imagined? The warrior in your imagination will probably always be
That kind of cool and unrestrained attitude, Xiaodong, have you ever thought about how much hardship those cool and unrestrained warriors had to endure before they achieved anything? How much blood and sweat they paid? Now I'll let you see it intuitively
Seeing this, has it subverted your cognition? In the past, you did not study well, felt that you could not learn, and felt that studying was hard and tiring. But now that you have seen such a picture, do you still feel that studying is hard and tiring? In comparison,
, studying is so much easier than practicing martial arts!”
"You told me before that you couldn't study well and wanted to take other paths. Maybe practicing martial arts is a good way out. Do you still think so now? Ask yourself, can you endure such suffering?"
"Don't rush to answer me. Think about it for yourself. There are a few more places I'm going to take you to tonight. This is just the beginning. In the end, if you have seen and experienced it, then answer me how you feel."
After saying that, Yun Jing fell silent, and accompanied Yun Dong to look at the eye-dazzling martial arts training scene in front of him. To be honest, people who have never seen it, like Yun Dong, would not dare to look directly at such a scene when they suddenly see it.
But with Yunjing beside him, he couldn't even close his eyes, let alone stop looking.
Yunjing really worked hard for his brother. He didn't necessarily want his brother to achieve success through studying, nor did he want to control Yundong's life and prevent him from practicing martial arts. Yundong's life was his own decision. Yunjing was the one who decided
My brother's goal is just to let him recognize the reality, see it with his own eyes, and feel it for himself. When he has a personal understanding, he can make life decisions based on his own experience.
What path Yundong will take in the future and what kind of person he will become depends on him, but the prerequisite is that he needs to know the cruelty of reality, so that the choice he makes comes from his heart and not from blind impulse.
In fact, no matter whether Yundong studies or practices martial arts in the future, with his brother Yunjing here, he will spare no effort to help him, provided that he knows which path to take.
The reason why I brought Yundong to see this tragic scene of martial arts training is because such a scene is more intuitive and can impact his soul, and can arouse Yundong's inner thinking and weighing.
To put it bluntly, Yunjing is at least playing an information gap. Yundong has little knowledge and experience. He doesn't understand that what is practiced in this martial arts hall is only some superficial external skills and hard skills. To achieve success in such Kung Fu, it requires unimaginable pain.
, and advanced martial arts are much easier. For example, the 'basic swordsmanship' taught in the school is better than such external skills. You can achieve success by practicing step by step, but Yundong doesn't know.
Yundong's most intuitive feeling now is that practicing martial arts is not as easy as he imagined. It is so hard, tiring and painful. It is simply an endless torture. The path of martial arts is actually much more difficult than studying. No.
, can’t be compared at all...
But the problem is that none of the martial arts practitioners I have come into contact with in the past are like this, such as the teachers in the school, or my brother. I have never seen them practice martial arts in such pain. There seems to be something wrong, but Yundong can't say what is wrong.
Come.
After watching for about half an hour in this small courtyard, the seven or eight half-year-old boys were almost dying, and then Yunjing took Yundong and left silently.
Flying above the sky, Yun Jing said: "This is a warrior. If you want to achieve success in martial arts, you have to endure pain and torture that ordinary people can't imagine. And this kind of sacrifice is not just for a while or a day or two, but every day."
Day after day, Xiaodong, can you imagine the hardship?"
Recalling the scene he saw before in his mind, Yundong hesitated and said: "Brother, I..."
Without waiting for his answer, Yunjing interrupted: "Now Xiaodong, you don't have to answer me in a hurry. I will take you to some places next. You continue to see and feel. I think you will gain something in the end. Don't you have to give
My explanation is the answer, but you must gain something in your heart. This is the purpose of bringing you out tonight."
Yundong opened his mouth, but didn't say anything in the end. The scene he saw before was still echoing in his head.
Not long after, Yunjing took Yundong to another place. This place was located in the wilderness, but in a hidden mountain col, there was a cottage with one or two hundred people, which was obviously a bandit's den.
In the middle of the night, the village was still brightly lit and very lively, and a group of gangsters were drinking and eating meat, feeling very at ease.
Yunjing took Yundong and disappeared into a dense tree canopy in the village. Yunjing said: "Xiaodong, please continue watching. Don't say anything, just watch."
Yundong nodded subconsciously and stared at the cottage with wide eyes. After quietly observing others practicing martial arts before, Yunjing actually brought him to such a dangerous place again. For Yundong who had never experienced any big winds and waves,
This is really a bit too exciting.
The lively gangster village seems lively, with each gangster drinking heavily and eating meat from large bowls, but little does he know that disaster will soon come!
In the darkness, there were more than a dozen swordsmen wearing uniforms around the village. They stared at everything here with cold eyes. When the gangsters were having the most fun, they silently drew out their long swords and rushed in. When they saw
Just cut people off if they don’t have any extra words.
Regardless of whether they are the gangsters in the village or the dozen or so swordsmen, they are all just acquired cultivation. This kind of fighting is the most brutal. There is no flash of gorgeous light and shadow, only a competition of blood and fire.
In a moment, the village was in chaos. Fires flickered, shouts of death continued, blood sprayed, and broken limbs flew around.
That scene was no different from the Asura Hell. Looking at such a scene, Yundong gritted his teeth and did not dare to make a sound. His whole body was trembling, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his hands and feet were so scared that his hands and feet were cold.
"Who are you and why are you attacking us? Is there any misunderstanding or offense?" Some gangsters roared angrily in the village, feeling aggrieved and angry at being attacked for no apparent reason.
However, the answer to him was: "You villains are full of evil and have committed countless murders. Everyone can kill them and kill them!"
The brutal fighting only lasted for two quarters of an hour and ended. One to two hundred villains were all killed by swords, and the village was burned to the ground. On the other hand, the more than ten swordsmen had a hard time, half of them died before.
In the killing, almost everyone who survived was injured.
When the battle was over, Yunjing took Yundong and left silently. After leaving, he said to Yundong: "Xiaodong, you have seen it, this is the so-called martial arts practitioner, this is the so-called Jianghu.
It’s far from being as free and easy as you think. The so-called rivers and lakes are always accompanied by the light and shadow of swords. Either I kill you or you kill me. Sometimes I don’t even know where I have offended someone before I am hacked to death!”
"Brother, I...wow..." The pale-faced Yundong recalled the previous scene and wanted to say something, but he spit out a mouthful of filth, which made his liver and gallbladder burst.
Yunjing had already expected it, and when he was almost vomiting, he handed him a water bottle and secretly used spiritual energy to relieve his discomfort.
When he was almost recovered, Yundong's lips trembled and he said: "Martial artist, Jianghu, how could this be like this? How could this be like this..."
"That's the fact. Xiaodong, the deeds in the world that you heard in the teahouse and the grievances and grievances that you read in the story books have all been beautified and processed. The real world is ten times and a hundred times more tragic than you imagined.
And I can tell you clearly, brother, what you saw before is just the tip of the iceberg of this murky pool of water among martial artists. This pool of water is very deep and far scarier than you imagined," Yun Jing said sincerely.
Yundong was silent, and after a moment he took a deep breath and said, "Brother, I probably understand what you mean..."
"Xiaodong, I am your brother, my biological brother. We are born from the same mother. I care about you more than anyone else. I bring you these experiences because I want you to feel for yourself what reality is. You are now
You are not young anymore. It’s time to grow up. I hope you understand my good intentions. You don’t have to answer me now. I think you must have gained something in your heart. This is enough. You can get growth and training. Only then can you
It's what I want to see, brother, not what kind of satisfactory answer you want to give me." Yunjing patted Yundong's shoulder and said sincerely.
After a moment of silence, Yundong nodded slightly and said nothing else.
Yun Jing smiled and said: "After going through this, whether you continue to study or practice martial arts in the future, it still depends on you. I will not interfere with you, and will even spare no effort to help you, but I hope you understand what you really want.
What, what kind of life and future should I face after making a decision, instead of making a decision blindly and impulsively? This is my real intention."
Having said that, Yunjing's other destination has also arrived, and Yundong is still allowed to go and observe it, being a quiet bystander.
This is a large manor, and the owner is an official, a county magistrate to be precise. His official position may not be big, but he can still be called a very important person in a county.
At night, the manor was quiet, but in the darkness, a few gangsters approached the manor. Their purpose was to murder the county magistrate who lived here. As for the reason, perhaps the county magistrate had offended them, or some policy conflict.
touched their interests.
The methods of these gangsters were not unscrupulous, but what greeted them was a wake-up call. Before they could do anything evil, the guards from the manor rushed out from all directions and surrounded them tightly. Several gangsters struggled, and two of them were hacked to death.
, all the others were arrested.
At this time, the county magistrate went out in a hurry. He seemed to be sure that something like this would happen. Yun Danfengqing said calmly: "Discard the martial arts and throw him into prison for strict interrogation. Find out who was behind it."
People will not be punished severely!"
After just these words, the county magistrate went to rest. The confidence in controlling the overall situation was not fake. He remained calm in the face of danger and was not afraid of conspiracies and tricks, which fully demonstrated everyone's style and magnanimity.
After reading this, Yunjing took Yundong and left quietly again. Unlike the previous two times where Yunjing had to say a few words after reading this, he didn't say a word this time.
The more this happened, the more Yundong hesitated to speak. He finally said: "Brother, is this a scholar? After Zhizhu grasps the enemy's opportunities and understands people's hearts, he only needs to make corresponding arrangements and arrangements.
The crisis can be resolved in the palm of your hand!"
"No, what the county magistrate did cannot represent the scholars, but only himself. Reading may not necessarily lead to his level of having everything under control, but if you don't study, you will always be a hot-blooded idiot.
You fool, you still say thank you to others when you are being fooled. Moreover, when a person truly has great wisdom, many things do not need to be done by oneself at all. It is just a matter of words. Naturally, someone will help to settle the matter. The so-called inferior person is doing the hard work.
Those who work hard are those who work hard. As a high-ranking person, if he encounters danger, there will never be a shortage of people to help him block the knife. In this world, if you want to become a high-ranking person, the easiest, most convenient and safest way is
, undoubtedly it is reading..."
"Xiaodong, don't hold on to the idea that I'm showing you these because I want you to practice martial arts and concentrate on your studies. I'm just letting you understand these principles. I'm still saying the same thing. What kind of path you want to take in the future depends entirely on it.
You yourself, I support you," Yun Jing replied.
"Well, brother, I understand what you mean," Yunjing nodded seriously.
All that happened before, Yunjing just helped Yundong establish a correct outlook on life and values. From the current point of view, the goal has been achieved, so Yunjing will no longer continue.
The next thing is about the mentality of being an older brother that brings pressure to him. It is also very simple to deal with. There is no need to feed him chicken soup and take him through some things, and he will not have this kind of pressure.
Again, practice is the best way to solve problems.
At the next stop, Yunjing took Yundong directly to the capital of Dali. They entered the city silently and first came to the huge manor that Wu Qingmei gave to Yunjing.
Here are the servants that Wu Qingmei left for Yunjing, and they have all passed under Yunjing's name. Among these servants, there are many innate masters, and there is even a butler with a true artistic conception.
Regarding Yunjing's arrival, all the servants in the manor came to greet him even in the middle of the night, and they were respectful and did not dare to show any slights.
After meeting these servants for a while, Yunjing took Yundong to visit the manor. During this period, he said to Yundong: "Xiaodong, this is a house that your brother and I have in the capital. It was given by others. I won't tell you how much it is worth."
You, you should find out for yourself how much such a huge house would cost in a place like Beijing where land is at a premium. You should have a rough guess. What I want to tell you is that this house was given to me just because
Brother painted a painting for the other party. It was just the retouching fee that he worked hard for an hour or two. In addition to the house itself, the servants here were also given by others. You have met the butler just now. He has a true artistic conception.
, if you attack with all your strength, you can smash a hill, and there are also several Xiantian realm masters!"
"Are these true?" Yundong stared, completely confused.
Yun Dingding nodded and said with a smile: "It's absolutely true. If you don't believe it, you can find Song Yan when you go back. The house title deed and the servant's contract are all with him. They are written in black and white and are backed by the official seal. They cannot be faked!"
When Yundong heard this, he opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.
After visiting the manor, the Yunjing brothers didn't stay too long. After thinking about it, Yunjing took Yundong to Baihua Pavilion.
Don't get me wrong, Yunjing certainly doesn't want to teach his younger brother to go to a romantic place to have fun at such a young age. If he dares to do this, his parents will not break his legs when he returns.
Bringing Yunjing here naturally has his purpose.
People who want to enter a place like Baihua Pavilion are either rich or expensive, and the entry fee starts at a thousand taels of silver, not to mention the consumption inside.
However, when Yunjing arrived, not only was he not turned away, the owner behind Baihua Pavilion even came forward to invite him in politely. He also carefully asked Yunjing what services he needed and if he wanted a girl to accompany him.
Please call your name and arrange immediately.
To this, Yunjing said that he didn't need it, he just came here to take a look, and then the owner of Baihua Pavilion left and arranged for a steward to accompany him in person.
Walking inside Baihua Pavilion, Yunjing introduced the situation here to Yundong, and occasionally told him who the person holding the girl's arms was.
Coincidentally, Yunjing actually met Deng Ziling again. The other party avoided him, saluted from a distance and left awkwardly. Yunjing introduced to Yun Dong who Deng Ziling was and why he was so polite to him.
Yunjing didn't stay long in Baihua Pavilion and left. He just wanted Yundong to come and see the world, but he didn't go to find the girl Yulan who was thinking about him. This made Yulan feel very resentful when she later learned about Yunjing's visit.
After the group at Baihua Pavilion, Yun Jing simply gave his brother a little more stimulation and went directly to the second prince's house. In the middle of the night, when Xia Tao learned that Yun Jing was here, he actually got up from the bed to receive him personally. This simply shocked Yun Dong.
His chin was completely dumbfounded.
Yunjing didn't stay long at Xia Tao's house. He didn't even exchange any sensitive topics with Xia Tao. He just passed by and said hello. Xia Tao not only didn't feel offended, but was actually very happy.
After leaving the second prince's house, Yun Jing originally wanted to take Yundong to see Mrs. Deng again, but after thinking about it, he decided not to bother him with such a trivial matter in the middle of the night. The above is enough.
When he came out of the second prince's house, Yundong was completely confused, and it was more unreal than a dream.
Yunjing didn't say anything about this. When he got down in the middle of the night, he did everything he needed to do and took Yundong back to Niujiao Town.
It wasn't until he stood in the small courtyard of Niujiao Town again that Yunjing asked him: "Xiaodong, with a brother like me, are you still under pressure now?"
"No...no more." Yundong shook his head subconsciously. After this, he no longer had the complicated mentality before, and his whole person was extremely relaxed and transparent.
There's also a lot of pressure. Where does my brother go? Who does he come in contact with? That's a level that I probably won't be able to reach in ten lifetimes of hard work.
If his brother was just a bit more powerful and ranked first in the Jiangzhou Juren Examination, Yundong would indeed be under "pressure", but what about the reality?
He can fly, and one of his paintings is worth a million taels of silver. Even the direct descendants of the wife are polite to him, even the prince warmly entertains him in the middle of the night, and even places like Baihua Pavilion feel excited by his arrival.
pleasure……
I actually feel pressured by such a brother. To put it bluntly, I just don’t accept it. I’ve been kicked in the head by a donkey.
Anyway, Yundong has no idea at this moment. This is my brother, my brother, my brother. I have to say important things three times.
Just asking if you are awesome!
Feeling the change in Yun Dong's mentality, Yun Jing secretly thought that he had been busy for half the night, everything was worth it. He had put down a worry, and then slapped him on the back of the head and said with a smile: "Why don't you go to bed quickly?
Sleep in Song Yan’s room and get up early tomorrow morning to tidy up the yard for me. You might as well see how I tidy up you!"
"Okay", Yundong walked briskly and went to rest.
As for whether he can sleep well that night, who knows, after all, the stimulation is too great, but growth, isn't it just like this, without experience, it will always just instill some specious ideas, how can a person truly grow?
Looking at Yun Dong's back, Yun Jing smiled hoarsely, and suddenly realized that it would be unnecessary to take him with him to the capital. He estimated that just the fact that he could fly would be enough to dispel all his so-called 'pressure'.
"It's not superfluous. After all, this line of work can help him understand what heights a person can achieve through hard work. At the same time, the exciting scenes he experienced at the beginning are nothing to him. After all, he has experienced it.
The vastness of the river, how can you be so flustered because of natural selection in a small pond? Brother, you are pretty good at your job, right?"
