The black turtle returned to the stream, and the green water unicorn left with the two little girls, leaving a group of people standing there, wondering whether they should be disappointed or grateful.
The two little girls wandered around for a while, and it happened to be lunch time. The two little girls were also a little hungry, so they walked halfway through Puyun Mountain and then shouted to go back. The real Huo Ling who originally wanted to look around was I had no choice but to give up. The green water unicorn looked indifferent, and I didn't know why it followed him out this time. However, it was precisely because of it that nothing happened this time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
At Li Xiuping's residence, Puyunshan delivered meals at this moment and informed Li Xiuping that the ceremony was about to begin. Now he only sent some simple food first, fearing that the guests would be hungry.
The food had just been served when the two little girls returned. As soon as they saw the food on the table, Chu Yan went directly to the table and sat down. She smiled and said, "I happen to be hungry."
As he spoke, he picked up the chopsticks, but put them down after being glanced at by his mother.
Li Xiuping asked: "Are spiritual beasts good-looking?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yan's eyes widened immediately. She did not mean to make a mistake, but looked at Li Xiuping and asked, "Master, do you know everything?"
Li Xiuping said calmly: "Although I was injured, it would be difficult for me not to know if you made such a big noise."
Chu Yan continued: "Master must not have seen it. There is a big turtle in Puyun Mountain. I don't know if it can be eaten?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone, including Li Xiuping, had a look of astonishment on their faces.
It is still a spiritual beast after all, or a spiritual beast with the strength to transform into a god. In the eyes of this little girl, can it be eaten?
However, Li Xiuping had actually done this kind of thing before, and he did it with two big monsters.
Now that Chu Yan said this, Li Xiuping couldn't help but think of what happened back then, and he couldn't help but miss Miss Xiaohong's barbecue. The taste was really unforgettable, and the key was that it was also very tonic, which was of great benefit to his practice.
Li Xiuping said with a smile: "I have lived for thousands of years. Even if it is really edible, I'm afraid I won't be able to bite it."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned again, and no one expected that Li Xiuping would give such an answer.
Li Xiuping continued: "Eat. If you still want to eat well later, eat less now."
After Li Xiuping spoke, everyone started to eat. Yang Erni was okay, chewing slowly and not eating much. She obviously listened to Li Xiuping's words. As for Chu Yan, she wolfed down her food and wanted to eat first. No matter so much.
After eating, the two little girls gave up their plan to continue wandering. Apparently they were tired from walking before and didn't want to try again.
When they went up the mountain, Li Xiuping gave them pills, so they didn't feel uncomfortable while walking. However, without the effect of pills before, the mountain road was rugged, and after walking for a while, the two of them were very tired.
Yang Erni was okay. Her physical fitness was obviously much better than Chu Yan, so she could endure it. However, Chu Yan felt that her legs were not working properly and she couldn't walk when she came back. It was Master Huo Ling who carried her back.
Since the two of them were no longer going out and had nothing to do for the time being, Li Xiuping asked the two to test what they had learned recently and let the two little girls fight while Li Xiuping and layman Qingming watched.
For this reason, Li Xiuping also made a wooden sword for each of them, obviously he also wanted to follow the path of sword cultivation.
Li Xiuping is a sword cultivator, and Master Qingming is also a sword cultivator. It will naturally be easier for the two of them to learn swordsmanship. Of course, the specific direction to choose in the end depends on the situation of the two of them, and the two What kind of cultivation is suitable for the little girl?
At this moment, the two little girls stood opposite each other, each holding a wooden sword.
Li Xiuping asked: "Are you ready?"
The two little girls nodded at the same time.
Li Xiuping said: "Let's get started. The loser will not be allowed to ride in the carriage for half a month from now on."
After the words fell, the two little girls nodded at the same time.
Chu Yan raised the wooden sword and said with a smile: "Sister, be careful."
Yang Erni did not speak, but also raised the wooden sword in her hand.
Chu Yan took the lead in launching the offensive, with the wooden sword in front, charging towards Yang Erni.
Yang Erni stood still, her eyes fixed on the wooden sword in Chu Yan's hand. When Chu Yan approached, she drew her sword to resist.
Chu Yan's focus was on attack, while Yang Erni's focus was on defense, retreating while fighting, as if at a disadvantage.
On the side, Li Xiuping and Master Qingming were fighting side by side. Watching the battle between the two, Master Qingming asked with a smile: "Who do you think will win?"
Li Xiuping did not answer, but said: "Chu Yan's talent is obviously far better than Er Ni's, and many of her spiritual insights are also more outstanding, but Er Ni works harder than Chu Yan and likes to think about many things by herself. In terms of cultivation, Er Ni is definitely not as good as Chu Yan. After all, talent cannot be compensated for by hard work."
The layman Qingming nodded, which he fully understood by then.
Many people always say that whether a person succeeds depends not only on talent, but also on whether the person works hard. There is nothing wrong with this, but talent cannot be compensated by hard work.
If a person wants to succeed, he may only need 1% of talent, but he needs 99% of hard work. Talent accounts for very little, or even almost negligible, but the fact is that 1% of talent , but it is more important than ninety-nine percent of the efforts.
But it doesn’t mean that you don’t have to work hard if you don’t have talent. On the contrary, if you don’t have talent, you can only work harder. Even if you know that hard work is useless, you still have to work hard, because only by working hard can you have a little possibility. But if you don’t work hard, It's really impossible.
Li Xiuping continued: "But in terms of gains in techniques, Erni is obviously much better. In addition to the understanding of practice, the competition also depends on the proficiency of the techniques, so whoever wins and who loses, It’s really hard to say for a while.”
The layman Qingming nodded and said: "Indeed, although Erni seems to be at a disadvantage now, Chu Yan couldn't find a flaw for a while. Instead, she thought that a fierce attack would consume more than Erni, plus her physical fitness She is not as good as Er Ni, and if this continues, she won’t be able to hold on at all.”
Li Xiuping said with a smile: "When we went out earlier, this little girl was very tired. Once she lost, she would have to walk for half a month, so naturally she didn't want to lose, so she naturally wanted to use all she had learned, and Erni was worried It's too heavy, so they naturally don't care about whether they can ride in the carriage, so the final outcome depends not only on what they have learned, but also on their state of mind. Chu Yan has the belief that she will win, but Er Ni obviously does not. Faith, which is why she always chooses to defend."
The layman Qingming nodded and said: "The sword master kills, and the sword cultivator is also recognized as the most powerful existence among all monks. Blind defense is indeed against the purpose of the sword."
At this moment, the two little girls were obviously getting angry. Chu Yan may have started to feel tired, but she still couldn't defeat Yang Erni. She couldn't even break her defense. She was even more competitive and even took action. More swiftly.
And Yang Erni no longer blindly defends, but will launch a counterattack when the opportunity comes, which makes Chu Yan suffer a lot.
At this moment, Chu Yan has obviously reached her limit, but the little girl's stubborn temper has obviously risen. She has to win this fight no matter what, so she insists on gritting her teeth. However, the offensive is still extremely fast, and she has no intention of restraining. Obviously He wanted to break through Yang Erni's defense in one go.
Seeing that Chu Yan had clearly reached her limit, but still gritted her teeth and persisted, so that her little face was covered with sweat, Li Xiuping smiled slightly and said: "Chu Yan's biggest shortcoming is her body. Since she can overcome this shortcoming now, The odds of winning are just two levels higher.”
Li Xiuping arranged this competition because he actually wanted them to overcome their own shortcomings. Chu Yan has excellent talent and strong comprehension ability. Her only shortcoming is laziness. She has lived a privileged life since she was a child, and she can be considered a spoiled child. Therefore, her physical fitness That's the biggest flaw.
To become a sword cultivator, it is impossible without a strong enough body, because the body is the first container to carry the sword's intention. Only a strong body can carry the powerful sword's intention.
Since Chu Yan can overcome her physical limitations and persevere, her shortcomings no longer exist.
Compared with Chu Yan, Yang Erni has many shortcomings, or in other words, Yang Erni basically has no advantages. At least compared with Chu Yan, there is really no comparison.
In terms of talent, it can be said that Yang Erni has no talent, but she barely has spiritual roots and can be considered to be able to embark on the path of cultivation. In terms of comprehension ability, the little girl obviously does not even know the words, and she cannot understand many things in cultivation. Li Xiuping only needs to ask the same question a few times for Chu Yan to understand it, but Yang Erni is different. She still needs to spend a lot of time thinking about it in private before she can understand it.
Of course, these are not Yang Erni's biggest problems. Yang Erni's biggest problem is her character.
Because of her birth and the misfortune of her parents, this little girl feels like a big stone is weighing on her heart. However, after all, she is only a four or five-year-old child, and her understanding and feelings of suffering are not that deep, so she usually doesn't It's nothing, but after all, this thing is buried deep in her heart, and it is destined to follow her for a lifetime, so the older she grows, the greater its impact will be.
It is precisely because of this that she chooses to defend despite being more proficient in swordsmanship than Chu Yan.
If Yang Erni wants to win, she can only launch a counterattack and defend against this kind of defense, but this requires her to give up her inner inferiority first, which is much harder than Chu Yan overcoming her physical weakness.
Therefore, among Li Xiuping's two apprentices, Chu Yan is a genius with obvious achievements in the future, while Yang Erni is a big trouble, not only for herself, but also for Li Xiuping, so generally speaking, no one will He would bring someone like Yang Erni into his family and bring trouble on his own, but the first person Li Xiuping took in was Yang Erni.
The reason, in fact, even he himself can't explain clearly. It may be because he has no spiritual roots, or it may be that this girl Yang Erni is really pitiful, or it may be just because the road is too leisurely, so he simply creates some trouble for himself. , by keeping yourself busy, you can temporarily forget some thoughts that you don’t want to face now...
But at this moment, Yang Erni suddenly felt grateful. Every move she made was filled with murderous intent and even strong hostility...
