How much can you learn from Lu Lisheng in seven days of isolation?
Xia Shang didn't know that the only thing he could do was to complete the daily tasks according to Lu Lisheng's requirements.
This first day is about getting familiar with the sword in your hand.
Xia Shang practiced some simple sword moves in the field of dead leaves.
Cut, pick, stab, sweep, block, etc.
The simple movements you imagine are not easy. To make the sword in your hand retract and retract freely requires a lot of practice, at least it can't be done in just one day.
Even the simplest movements are so difficult, how can I complete the next training?
Thinking about it, Xia Shang became more focused, regardless of the coldness in the mountains, and kept waving his sword in the deserted open space.
One day passed, Lu Lisheng returned, carrying a wild boar on his shoulders.
It was now dark and the stars were looming. Xia Shang had not eaten for a day and was already very hungry.
Lu Lisheng put down the wild boar: "Take care of it and make a fire to roast it."
Xia Shang responded and quickly found what he wanted to do.
Because I feel a little guilty now, the practice on this day was really not very good, and I am worried that Lu Lisheng will test his practice results.
While Xia Shang was lighting the fire, he paid attention to Lu Lisheng's movements and found that he was still sitting silently, with no intention of checking his practice results.
In this way, Xia Shang felt relieved and worked hard for nearly two hours. It was getting late, the fire on the ground was strong, and the smell of meat wafted far away in the cold night.
Xia Shang was worried that he would eat something before asking about today's situation. Although he was very hungry, the food did not taste very good.
It turned out that Xia Shang's worries were unnecessary. Until he got up early the next morning and started a new class, Lu Lisheng did not ask how Xia Shang was doing.
This made Xia Shang very strange. When Lu Lisheng was about to talk about new content, he finally couldn't help but ask: "Sixth Master, don't you want to see how I practiced yesterday?"
Lu Lisheng squinted his eyes and sat cross-legged: "Why should you watch? How well you practice is your business, and how you deal with your enemies in the future is also your own business. No matter how much others see, they can't help you. As a teacher, I can only tell you how to do it.
Whether you can learn it or not is your own question."
"Oh." Xia Shang was a little confused.
"For seven days, each day has its own content. Maybe you won't be able to practice in January or two, but as long as you remember what the teacher taught you and practice hard, you will eventually be able to achieve something."
What Lu Lisheng meant was that he would only teach Xia Shang theoretical knowledge these days, and leave the rest to Xia Shang to figure out on his own. This is best, Xia Shang is good at such theoretical postures, and if he is asked to wield a sword, he will return the favor.
It's really not a strong point.
Today we are talking about the sword's will, how to feel the sword's will, comply with the sword's will, and use moves that conform to the sword's will.
The third day talks about swords and weapons, and how to use swords to fight against all kinds of strange weapons.
The fourth day talks about offensive and defensive advance and retreat.
The fifth day talks about Qi and sword.
The sixth day talks about the spirit of the sword.
Until the last day, Lu Lisheng never tested anything about Xia Shang. He just continued to instill some knowledge about swords into Xia Shang, and never thought about how much Xia Shang had learned and whether it was practical or not.
Fortunately, Xia Shang was a man with an excellent memory and did not forget any details of what Lu Lisheng said. Although there were many puzzles, every word of Lu Lisheng was deeply engraved in Lu Lisheng's mind.
On the seventh day, it started to snow again. The white snow was flying and the mountains were extremely beautiful. Especially when standing on the edge of the cliff and looking at the white snow and silver in the distance, you can feel the vastness of the world.
In the heavy snow, the young and old were sitting opposite each other. Lu Lisheng's face was a little pale and he looked not in good spirits.
"Master, are you cold?" Xia Shang asked.
Lu Lisheng opened his eyes slightly and asked, "Are you cold?"
Xia Shang breathed a sigh of relief: "A little bit."
"Today is the last day."
"Um."
Lu Lisheng said nothing more.
Xia Shang felt that the atmosphere was a little strange: "Sixth Master, what should we study on the last day?"
"etc."
"Um?"
"There's still one person who hasn't arrived yet."
Xia Shang was full of doubts. Seeing that his master was unwilling to say more, he hid his doubts in his heart.
As time passed by, the snow in the sky became heavier and heavier.
This was the biggest snowfall that Xia Shang had ever seen, and the sky turned gray after it fell. Soon you could hear the branches of some saplings being broken by the snow, and there were rustling sounds all around.
At noon, the sky was covered with heavy snow. The snow had already touched Xia Shang's legs while he was sitting cross-legged. His hands and feet had already been frozen, making him have to get up and move around.
But Lu Lisheng remained silent, like a stone sculpture.
At this time, footsteps were heard not far away, and no one was seen but a hearty voice was heard: "Hahaha... How are you doing, senior?"
After the voice, a middle-aged man wrapped in a fox fur cloak appeared in Xia Shang's field of vision. This man was tall, with a handsome face, a pair of eyes shining with awe-inspiring light, and a calm aura, as if he had good internal strength.
What is striking is that the lobe of his left ear is missing, and he seems to have been injured. He is holding a basket in his hand, which is still steaming, and the fragrance of chicken can be vaguely smelled.
Xia Shang saw the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man also saw Xia Shang.
Compared to Xia Shang, the middle-aged man was even more surprised. He was stunned on the spot and asked: "Senior, who is this?"
Lu Lisheng opened his eyes and shook the snow on his sleeves: "Same as you, a seeker seeking a sword."
"Oh?" The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, "To be appreciated by your seniors at such a young age? What a great opportunity, little brother!"
The middle-aged man was very curious about Xia Shang. He walked quickly to Xia Shang, put down the bamboo basket, looked at Xia Shang carefully, and then asked: "How old is this, little brother?"
Xia Shang had nothing to hide and answered truthfully: "The seventh day."
"The seventh day!" The middle-aged man was shocked, "Little brother, have you studied with your seniors for seven days?"
For some reason, when he heard about the seventh day, the middle-aged man was so surprised that he couldn't even suppress the true energy in his body. The snow on the ground suddenly sank, weighed down by his leaked true energy.
Xia Shang was horrified that someone could do this accidentally. Where did this middle-aged man come from?
The middle-aged man seemed to see the doubts in Xia Shang's heart and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I only learned from the seniors for a few days, but I didn't have such a big opportunity as my little brother, only three days. I want to learn this
On the fourth day, I have been waiting here for five years."
"Five years!"
"It's only been five years, don't be surprised. If I can get some advice from my seniors, it won't be a problem for me to wait for fifty years. Little brother, you and I are from the same school, so as to avoid seeing outsiders, you and I might as well use the skills of senior brothers
How’s that for proportion?”
Xia Shang looked at his master and found that he didn't say anything. He nodded, stood up, clasped his fists and called out: "Senior brother."
The middle-aged man smiled heartily: "Hahaha, junior brother."
After saying that, the middle-aged man turned his attention to Lu Lisheng: "Senior, you sent me the message the day before yesterday just to introduce this junior brother to me?" (To be continued)
