"Junior brother Ximen, hehe, I have long admired your name." Xu Chen said with a smile.
"Hello, senior sister." Ximenyu responded as he looked at the slim and pretty woman in front of him. Judging from the look on her eyebrows, she was somewhat similar to his master's wife. He thought she should be the daughter of his master's wife.
"Xiaoyu, this is your senior sister Chen'er, and that is your senior sister Wei'er. Although they are both my biological children, how could I know that their personalities would be so different." The senior wife said with a smile.
"Mom, who do you think has a better personality, me or my sister?"
"They're all very good, that's not what I meant." The master's wife replied.
"Mom, what are you referring to? Chen'er also wants to know." Xu Chen said coquettishly.
"Juan'er is like a tomboy, carefree, but he is good at swordsmanship, so he is like your father, while Chen'er is soft and weak, like a lady, which is like me, so I say you are both pretty good, you have inherited it.
Your father and I have different personalities. Of course, I, Zhen'er, is the best. He is elegant, modest, and accomplished in swordsmanship. Alas, it's a pity that now..." The master's wife thought of this and secretly felt sad.
"Shujun, why are you bringing this up so politely?" Master said depressedly, Shujun is good at everything, but he is too sentimental.
"Xiaoyu, I'm so sorry, you see I'm nagging again." The mistress also realized that she had lost her temper. Today was Xiaoyu's first time at home for dinner, and she ruined the atmosphere again.
"It's okay. I think if the senior brother knew that his wife was thinking about him every day, he would also feel very happy." Ximenyu comforted. He understood the difficulties of his wife. On the day when everyone was reunited, he would not have to watch his elder sister since he was a child.
The elder senior brother naturally felt uncomfortable.
"Hmm, Xiaoyu, eat quickly and try the master's wife's cooking." said the master's wife.
"Junior brother, this drunken pork steak is my mother's specialty. You try it, of course I will make it too. I will cook it for you next time." Xu Chen gave Ximen Yu a piece of good pork steak, and then
There is no way to be proud.
"Yeah, thank you, Senior Sister Chen." Ximenyu said with a smile. For some reason, Ximenyu felt that this Senior Sister seemed to be a little too enthusiastic about him. After all, it was the first time they met.
"You're welcome, we are all family members." Xu Chen said with a pun.
"..." Xu Wei naturally understood what his sister said in the voice-over, and was shocked. Is this still the sister he knew? When did she become more open-minded than him?
…
In this way, Ximenyu had a group meal with his master, his wife, and the two senior sisters at Zhengqingmen. Although the master never had anything to say, his wife and senior sisters were very kind to him, so Ximenyu enjoyed this feeling very much.
Just like when he was in the Great Water World, the four masters and his wife and senior sister on the mountain were all very kind to me...
"Ximenyu, come with me." Ximenyu was called away by his master just after finishing his meal.
"Zhengqing, why are you in such a hurry? You won't wait for the child to rest for a while." asked the teacher's wife.
"Yes, Dad, I haven't had a good chat with my junior brother yet. I really want to hear him tell me about the Nine Palace Competition." Xu Chen heard that the master was going to take Ximen Yu to practice swordsmanship so soon.
, she couldn't help but said, she wanted to strike while the iron was hot and leave a deeper impression on Ximen Yu for her first meeting.
"The days are long and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Let's go, Ximenyu."
"Yes, Master."
"Xiaoyu, your master is like this, he is very fickle, so go ahead."
"Well, Senior Sister, take your leave." After Ximenyu said that, he turned and left.
…
The master's wife looked at the Shangpu sword in Ximenyu's hand thoughtfully.
"Mom, what do you think of my junior brother?" Xu Chen asked after Ximenyu and the others left.
"That's good. Why do you ask?"
"Then what if he becomes your daughter-in-law?"
"Chen'er, I'm making fun of your sister again." The master's wife said angrily.
"Mom, my sister is talking about herself." Xu Wei said playfully.
"What! Chen'er, are you talking about yourself?" The master's wife asked in surprise, no, how could Chen'er's temperament be so direct.
"Yes." Xu Chen said matter-of-factly, not afraid of his mother's jokes at all.
"You can't do it either. Xiaoyu is so good, he won't like you." The teacher's wife said speechlessly.
"Mom, please don't worry about it, okay? I just ask how you are doing?"
"Nervous." The mistress ignored Xu Chen and put away the dishes.
"Humph, you don't believe it, I will definitely prove it to you." Xu Chen said depressedly.
…
"Xiaoyu..." Master felt very friendly when he saw Shujun calling Ximenyu that way. Why did he feel a little embarrassed that he couldn't express it when he called him that way?
"Disciple is here." Ximenyu didn't think so much. Seeing the master's hesitation in speaking, he hurriedly responded.
"Uh-huh." Master cleared his throat and continued: "To practice Qingzheng Swordsmanship, the first thing you have to understand is that practicing swordsmanship is not as good as cultivating your heart. In other words, at this level, the external form is far inferior to the inner humanity. I miss you.
In Qiankun Qingzheng Tu, the tenth level of Zhengqing Sword Technique was initially performed, so you should have some experience."
"Yes, I realized somewhere that once the mind is confused, the swordsmanship will be messed up."
"Yes, this means that everything on the outside must be reflected on the inside. Even if the external sword body changes in thousands of ways, the core of the sword will never be separated."
"Disciple understands."
"So the first thing I want to teach you is the art of mind cultivation."
"Mind-cultivation skills?" Ximen Yu asked with a smile. It sounded so advanced. He had never been exposed to it before.
"Yes, but this technique is unusual. If you don't have strong enough concentration and understanding, it will be difficult to understand the essence of it. I will give you an overview first, so that you can have a rough impression in your mind."
"Yeah." Ximenyu nodded.
"The highest principle of mind cultivation can be highly summarized in four words, which is 'tranquility and nothingness', which requires people who cultivate the mind to be leisurely and have few desires, to be fearless in the face of danger, and to be tireless in daily life.
Among them, they should eat delicious food, let them obey, be happy with their customs, and not admire each other from superiors to inferiors. In this way, their desires will not strain their eyes, and their lustful evil will not confuse their hearts. In this way, their Qi will follow their desires, and they will be in harmony with each other.
Tao, so the sword is wielded with the heart and the movements are not weak, and the spirit is kept within and the true energy is endless. Xiaoyu, do you understand?" Master Xu asked.
"Uh... it's so profound." Ximenyu shook his head. He didn't expect that the introductory mental method of practicing Qingzheng Swordsmanship would be so profound. It sounded vague and confusing.
"You're right if you don't understand. If you understand it so easily and understand it thoroughly, then my Qingzheng swordsmanship is nothing special. You are the best in talent and strength among the Nine Immortal Palaces, and you are the best.
I selected them from the seventy-two great immortal world powers, so even you feel that the Qingzheng Sword Technique is a spiritual cultivation technique. If it is difficult to understand, then it means that my title of Sword Immortal is well-deserved." Master Xu laughed and said,
It seemed that I had expected that Ximenyu would not be so easy to understand.
