Nangong Ruyu turned her head, and Li Xiuyuan saw the brighter moonlight in her eyes. This was completely different from Hua Chenyu's eyes, and it was the kind of clean and refreshing brightness that Li Xiuyuan liked.
"Why don't you take the piano with you? I just ate too much today, so I'd better play it to the master tomorrow, otherwise I'll make the master laugh."
Nangong Ruyu touched her belly and laughed awkwardly.
Li Xiuyuan sighed, thinking that he just didn't have the inclination to play the piano, so when he thought of this, he gave up the idea.
After thinking about it, he looked at her and said, "In this world, except for your mother, your grandfather, and your grandmother who love you... they don't need you to pay, and neither do I. You have to learn to protect yourself."
In his opinion, when Nangong Ruyu goes out, he is either followed by the woman in white or by Li Yun. In this way, he will never learn to face danger on his own.
From now on, he will teach her to face various dangers.
After saying this, three courses of spiritual tea had been brewed, and he poured the last one to Nangong Ruyu and himself.
She said quietly: "Xiao Qing has learned to face various dangers since she was a child. She can teach you these principles, so I hope you can practice quietly with her."
Nangong Ruyu stretched, looked at the spirit tea in the cup with the help of the oil lamp lit by Li Xiuyuan, and took a deep breath after a long silence.
Looking at Li Xiuyuan with bright eyes, there was something strange in his eyes: "I will practice well with Xiaoqing and wait for you, master, to pick us up."
"It's not that scary. If you get tired of staying in the mountains, you can go to my winery and stay for a while. There should be a few empty rooms there, which are enough for you."
In Li Xiuyuan's view, Li Qiushui and Xiaohong can still take care of them even if he is away. After all, he is the owner of the winery.
Once on the Shura battlefield, no one knew what kind of accidents would happen. He had to arrange a retreat for the two girls, and he couldn't just wait for himself.
"Master said this, I really can't wait. I want to try what it's like to be a small boss and take sister Xiaoqing with me." Nangong Ruyu said with a smile.
Li Xiuyuan smiled: "This will only take a few months. Let's learn to see the world with our heart first."
He paused and then said: "Start by practicing sword practice while blindfolded, so that you can face unknown dangers even if you are in the dark."
Nangong Ruyu seemed a little stupid in this matter, and asked carefully: "Then what should I do?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head angrily, pointed at the peach tree outside the hall and said, "Close your eyes, first sense the falling peach blossoms...and then try to use the sword in your hand to cut off the falling peach blossoms."
Nangong Ruyu subconsciously fell into deep thought, and Li Xiuyuan was startled, thinking that you are already at the Shattering Void Realm, so you can't use your spiritual consciousness to face danger, right?
Thinking of this, I had no choice but to say: "Release your spiritual consciousness to sense the falling flowers, and wait until you capture their falling trajectory, then try to kill the flowers with one sword."
Nangong Ruyu smiled bitterly and said, "Master, it sounds so simple, but why does Yu'er find it so difficult?"
Li Xiuyuan sighed secretly in his heart, thinking that you are already a master, how come you haven't even mastered this most basic swordsmanship?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but say: "Didn't Xiaoqing and I practice swordsmanship with you for a few days at the back of the academy? You won't forget it as soon as you leave the academy, right?"
Nangong Ruyu looked at him and lowered his head in embarrassment, and replied: "After I go home, who will practice with me? It seems that only Master Trouble and Xiao Qing will be there."
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "You have a good rest today, and get up early tomorrow to feel the falling flowers under the tree... There is no rush to practice sword practice."
"Is this okay?" Nangong Ruyu looked at him and asked in disbelief.
"If you think about these details such as flying flowers, fallen leaves, pine needles, and flying snow, which one cannot be used for sword practice? You are too comfortable at home."
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and smiled lightly. He didn't want to put too much pressure on her.
"If you haven't even mastered basic swordsmanship, what's the point of breaking through to the cave-heaven realm in the future? Are you going to fight with others?"
Nangong Ruyu was startled, she had never thought about this.
...
As if knowing that Nangong Ruyu was going to take him as a sparring partner, Li Xiuyuan got up early the next day and cooked porridge. By the time Nangong Ruyu and Hua Tianyu got up, he had already finished eating and was reading a book.
Looking up at the scattered peach blossoms falling from the sky, Nangong Ruyu looked at Li Xiuyuan and said, "Master, why don't you practice sword practice with Yu'er for a while? I'll sense these fallen flowers alone later..."
She was so playful that she couldn't help but said, "How about just playing for a while?"
He Xiuyuan walked silently to the back of the house, cut off two bamboo branches, handed one to Nangong Ruyu, and held the other in his hand.
He said quietly: "Then let's practice for a while and then go eat porridge after that."
After saying that, he took out the black cloth and handed it to her, then walked into the yard.
Hua Tianyu and Hua Chenyu looked at Li Xiuyuan stupidly and said with a smile: "Just practice sword practice. Why did you ask her to blindfold her?"
Li Xiuyuan waved the bamboo branch in his hand and said, "It's none of your business. Yu'er, be careful, I'm about to make a move."
"Just hit, who is afraid?" Nangong Ruyu, who was very playful, took the black cloth and covered his eyes. He held the bamboo branch in his hand and stood under the peach tree. Using the bamboo as a sword, he slashed at Li Xiuyuan from a distance. .
Unexpectedly, there was a "bang" sound and he was hit on the head.
"Master, can you be gentler? This is not really fighting a monster!" Nangong Ruyu yelled as his head hurt.
"You asked me to hit you yourself." Li Xiuyuan would not let her go lightly, he held the bamboo stick and continued to greet her.
Nangong Ruyu, who released his spiritual consciousness, felt the bamboo stick stabbed by the master, but his reaction was always a step slower, and he was hit again. This time, Li Xiuyuan was a little gentler.
Nangong Ruyu, who was in pain, subconsciously took a step back.
"Yu'er, don't run away!" Li Xiuyuan couldn't let her run away, and continued to greet her with his bamboo sword.
"Master, you are so cruel, you really think I am a monster!" This time, Nangong Ruyu finally blocked Li Xiuyuan's sword.
"If I had been cruel, you would have been rolling on the ground!" Li Xiuyuan saw that she actually blocked his sword, so he couldn't help but speed up, and stabbed her with one sword after another.
"Master, you are so poisonous!" Nangong Ruyu took two sword blows this time and retreated faster.
"I don't have the poison of the monsters in the back of the academy! Yu'er, don't run away!" How could Li Xiuyuan let her run away.
With a sound of "Bah!", Nangong Ruyu was hit on the head again.
The sudden sound made her more panicked than the monsters in the mountains behind Jiang Academy. If Master Bian couldn't stop this seemingly weak sword, how could she face other practitioners in the Shura Heaven in the future?
"Woooo", the air is flowing...
Nangong Ruyu, who had gathered her consciousness and feelings, caught this wave of fluctuation and swung a sword smoothly.
Unknowingly, she used the bamboo sword in her hand to slash out the Ruoshui Sword Intent, which was taught to her by Li Xiu back then.
"Bah!" The bamboo branch in Li Xiuyuan's hand was hit, and he couldn't help but take a step back.
Li Xiuyuan nodded, thinking that this guy was talented. He only needed to fight a few moves with him before he could use his sword intent to fight the enemy.
Looking at the dull Nangong Ruyu, he changed his mind, weighed his feet and leaned towards her gently...
Nangong Ruyu held the bamboo sword tightly in her hand and turned her ear to him, ready to draw the sword at any time.
For a moment, both of them became quiet.
Li Xiuyuan will trap Nangong Ruyu as a prey, and then catch her after she is exhausted.
Nangong Ruyu also knew that it would not take long to tighten her consciousness at all times, but she did not give up because she wanted to try.
Both of them were looking for each other's weaknesses. Nangong Ruyu's level was much higher than that of Li Xiuyuan. She was blindfolded at the disadvantage and could only wait.
Li Xiuyuan also knew that she was waiting.
He is competing with Nangong Ruyu for patience!
In order to capture prey, predators can lurk quietly for several days, just waiting for the fatal moment, which will definitely kill the opponent.
In front of him, Li Xiuyuan felt that he was a very good hunter.
"Bah! Bah!" followed by three soft sounds!
Nangong Ruyu, who was concentrating on coping, caught Li Xiuyuan's first sword, but failed to catch her second sword. The second blow hit her hand holding the bamboo branch.
Li Xiuyuan sighed lightly, looked at Nangong Ruyu and said with a smile: "You want to play tricks with me, you are still young!"
Nangong Ruyu took off the black cloth covering her eyes and looked around. The two of them were standing under the peach blossom tree, with peach blossoms sticking to their bodies.
He took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Master, let's go back. Take a break and practice again."
Li Xiuyuan put away the bamboo branch in his hand and asked, "Did the master hurt you from the beating?"
Nangong Ruyu shook her head, looked at him and said, "Yu'er is not afraid of pain. I have to go back and think about how to deal with the master's fast sword."
She also understood that the current master was just playing tricks on her. If it were other monks, she would have died countless times.
The enemies outside are different from the master. They will never give you time to react. She must use her spiritual consciousness to sense the opponent's sword in the shortest possible time, and then block the sword in the shortest possible time.
Only by blocking it first can you have a chance to fight back.
"Go back first. I've cooked the porridge. You should eat your fill first and come over later to realize it."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and walked towards the main hall.
Nangong Ruyu, a young man, learned basic swordsmanship from Li Xiuyuan in the Five Domains, and later studied with him for some days in the back of the academy. However, she was too lazy and stopped practicing after leaving Li Xiuyuan.
Just like when someone is on a mountain peak, only to find that there is a cliff ahead. She cannot climb it in her current situation, and it is inevitable that she will feel depressed.
Disappointed, she did not dare to ask Li Xiuyuan to practice sword practice anymore. She decided to first understand the trajectory of the peach blossom's fall, and then let the master help her after she gained some experience.
Just like the wine brewed by the master in the spring, it has to be done step by step. What's the use of just being anxious?
...
Looking at the two people walking back to the main hall from outside the courtyard, Hua Tianyu asked with a smile: "How are you master and apprentice doing?"
Nangong Ruyu raised her head and looked at him, shouting: "With your eyes covered, you are naturally no match for the master."
Li Xiuyuan, who was walking behind her with his hands behind his back, looked at her and said quietly: "What if you are in the dark and your opponent can see you but you can't see him... What should you do?"
Nangong Ruyu looked at it and said angrily: "Although I am blindfolded, master, can't you be gentler?"
Li Xiuyuan sat down next to Hua Tianyu, turned around and looked at her and said, "No matter how gentle it is, it's just scratching the itch. How can it train you?"
Li Xiuyuan put the kettle on the stove, took some tea and threw it in. He looked at the three of them and said, "Take a good look at the flowers on this mountain. We will leave here tomorrow."
Hua Chenyu looked at the two of them and asked in confusion: "What did you two do? Sister Ruyu is in such a mess."
"I can't let her kill chickens to achieve enlightenment like you two. I'm teaching her how to save her life." Li Xiuyuan looked at the three of them and replied calmly, but did not stop making tea in his hand.
When Hua Chenyu heard this, he couldn't help but froze, and said in a daze, "I went home to play and forgot about this."
