After thinking about it, Li Bai sat down in front of Li Xiuyuan: "Should I call you master?"
"No, just call me sir. I won't accept any more apprentices."
Li Xiuyuan didn't pay attention to Li Bai's tone, but took the pot and poured him a cup of hot tea.
Running all the way from home, Li Bai felt a little thirsty. He picked up the cup and took a sip, then spat it out with a loud sound. He stuck out his tongue and cursed.
"Sir, this tea is too hot. It's only when we use it to scald pigs during the Chinese New Year that it gets so hot."
Li Xiuyuan lightly knocked on the table and said, "You can't drink hot tea in a hurry. Didn't your mother teach you this?"
"No."
Li Bai shook his head: "My mother only taught me that I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."
"Isn't this the same truth?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and smiled: "Before you learn the sword from me, you must first learn how to make a satisfying tea with me."
"Isn't it just making tea? Isn't it difficult?"
After glancing at Li Xiuyuan, Li Bai put on an adult look and replied in disbelief.
"Before making tea, learn how to respect your elders first?"
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said calmly: "Theoretically, I am your teacher. How dare you talk to your teacher like this in the school?"
Li Bai, who was originally a bit , listened to Li Xiuyuan’s reprimand and had no choice but to laugh: "I thought I could just learn swordsmanship from my husband and become a rough man. "
Li Xiuyuan laughed when he heard it and said, "Did you know that swordsmanship is just like reading and writing? It requires calmness."
"I don't know, please teach me sir."
He raised his eyebrows, imitated an adult, clasped hands with Li Xiuyuan and said, "Student Li Bai, I have met Mr."
After three days, Li Bai finally made a passable tea for his husband.
The smile on his face showed when Li Xiuyuan first learned the tea ceremony, which even gave Li Xiuyuan an illusion.
It means that we have traveled through time and space, and the so-called people and things are just starring again.
When Li Bai's mother learned that her son had found a husband and started learning tea ceremony and swordsmanship, she let him go.
Perhaps the mother thinks that instead of fighting with a bunch of children all day long, it is better to learn some new knowledge from her husband.
On this day, Li Bai suddenly asked: "Sir, when will you teach me how to practice swordsmanship?"
"Wait a minute." Li Xiuyuan replied.
"What are you waiting for?"
After adding some hot tea to the gentleman, Li Bai asked: "Does sword practice depend on the date? Sir is not a fortune teller."
"When I finish brewing this wine, I will sharpen a bamboo sword for you."
Li Xiuyuan picked up the cup, blew on the hot air in the cup, and took a shallow sip. He didn't show it on his face, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Li Bai was stunned and blurted out: "Can you practice swordsmanship with a bamboo sword?"
"Otherwise? You are practicing swordsmanship, not swinging a sword to kill people."
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said leisurely: "When you master the bamboo sword, you will naturally understand the truth in the future."
Li Bai nodded and said with a smile: "Sir, make wine, do you want my help?"
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and shook his head: "You are not my apprentice, you don't need to do these dirty work."
Li Bai thought for a while and couldn't help but say: "Sir, you won't lie to me, right? It's been several days. I just learned to make a cup of tea, and I haven't seen your sword yet."
Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly: "If you regret it, go home now and become the king of those kids."
When Li Bai heard that he was angry, he immediately walked southward outside the shop without saying a word.
Li Xiuyuan ignored him and drank a cup of tea by himself.
After walking around on the street, Li Bai didn't know what he was thinking, and finally turned back to the wine shop at the north entrance.
Li Xiuyuan was not angry, he just smiled and said, "Why did you come back again?"
coming? "
"I want to follow first
Students learn the sword! "
Li Bai is not a fool. In the whole city, he has never seen an expert like Li Xiuyuan who can fly flowers and pick leaves and hurt people invisible.
"When I finish brewing the wine, I will sharpen your sword." Li Xiuyuan responded with a smile.
…
Two days later, under Li Xiuyuan's polishing, Li Bai was able to make pretty good tea.
Holding a piece of bamboo in his hand, Li Xiuyuan already had the appearance of a long sword in his hand.
Li Bai leaned over and asked, "Sir, can you sharpen this sword today?"
After waiting for so many days, he felt that he could not wait long enough, and he only looked forward to starting sword practice earlier.
Li Xiuyuan put the bamboo face on the small stove to grill, and said with a smile: "Bake it today and peel it more carefully. Tomorrow, I will start teaching you how to practice swordsmanship."
Li Bai looked at the beads of sweat on his teacher's forehead and couldn't help but smile: "Thank you for your hard work, sir. The student is too impatient."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head: "If you are afraid of hardship, you still won't be able to practice this sword."
Li Bai clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of hardship in studying, and I'm certainly not afraid of practicing swordsmanship either."
…
Five days later, Li Bai stood in the yard behind Sapu and wielded a sword. His hair was messy and he roared from time to time. He felt like a little tiger trying to go down the mountain.
He didn't expect that the master only gave him the minimum requirement, and he was exhausted even if he wielded the sword two thousand times a day.
It took a full hour before I returned to the counter.
Looking at Li Xiuyuan sitting at the counter, he laughed: "Sir, am I too useless?"
Shaking his head, Li Xiuyuan smiled: "I told you, you are practicing the sword and not killing pigs. You just need to maintain the same strength and swing the bamboo sword in the same direction."
After speaking, he took the bamboo sword from Li Bai's hand and swung the sword casually.
Looking at the gentleman who didn't have any sword spirit, Li Bai frowned: "How can you cut off those peach trees on the street without using any force?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "That's what you have to practice in the future. First, practice the sword swinging movement into your flesh and blood, so that you can strike out with the same sword at will."
"Students remember."
Li Bai thought for a while and smiled: "Sir, are you not allowed to lie to Li Bai?"
"You brat!"
Li Xiuyuan drew his sword and said, "Do you think I am full and have nothing to do, so I am using you to kill time?"
"Sir, I made a mistake."
Under Li Xiuyuan's education these days, Li Bai learned a lot and learned a lot.
…
Another ten days passed, and half a month of Qingming Festival passed in the blink of an eye, and it was already late spring.
Practicing swordsmanship in the backyard for an hour every day, making tea for half an hour, and listening to his teacher's lectures for half an hour became Li Bai's daily practice.
Li Xiu only taught him the sword technique of cutting snow, but not the technique of drawing a sword.
After all, in his eyes, Li Bai will still focus on his official career in the future, and there is no similarity with the fate of Wang Yi, Xiaoguang and others.
Even so, Li Bai can now swing his sword three thousand times a day without complaining about being tired.
The wine shop finally opened to sell wine, selling only the cheapest black bean wine. In Li Xiuyuan's opinion, this was the wine he was most proud of.
A drink that everyone can afford, and the lees can be fed to pigs.
After Li Bai finished practicing his sword, he washed his face and sat down at the counter. He said with a smile: "Sir, my mother-in-law said that my husband's wine grains are very useful. I will give some to my husband when I kill the pig during the Chinese New Year."
Li Xiuyuan smiled proudly, took a sip of tea, and replied: "Practice your sword first."
Li Bai thought for a while and asked cautiously: "The dog's mother asked me to ask, sir, if I can teach the dog how to practice swordsmanship?"
Li Xiuyuan glared at him: "Open your eyes and see, am I free?"
After a while, Li Xiuyuan continued
He continued, "I want to teach you, but I don't have time."
…
A gentleman who is not a gentleman,
A student who doesn't look like a student.
I stayed at the North Gate from spring to summer.
The petals on the peach trees on the street have long since withered and been replaced by fluffy green peaches.
In the afternoon, Li Xiuyuan closed the door of the shop.
Finally, Coach Jian from Houshan brought Li Bai to the school. These days, the two of them would come here to play whenever they didn't go in.
It was said to satisfy Li Bai's curiosity.
Li Xiuyuan pointed to a branch not far away and said, "Li Bai, it's not snowing now, so you should cut off the fallen leaves first."
Li Bai looked up and saw green leaves on the branches. Where did the fallen leaves and flying flowers come from?
"Sir, have you read it wrong? There are no dull flowers here, and there are no flying flowers." Li Bai said with a smile, biting a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, picked up a small piece of soil from the ground, crushed it, and waved it towards Li Bai's head. He heard a puffing sound, and suddenly leaves fell down.
"Still not taking action?" Li Xiuyuan yelled.
"Sir, don't call me, Li Bai will come..."
Amidst a whirring sound, Li Bai danced the bamboo sword in his hand so loudly that it made a whirring sound. After just a moment, he started to howl.
"This method won't work, sir, Li Bai can't learn." Li Bai squatted on the ground and shouted.
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and said: "I teach you Zhanxue, what is the most important thing?"
Li Bai thought for a while, nodded and said: "First, sense the trajectory of snowflakes falling from the sky, find their traces, and then slash them with your sword!"
Li Xiuyuan reached out and touched his head and said, "Then do you feel the trajectory of these falling leaves?"
Li Bai shook his head: "The leaves fell too fast, I haven't thought about it yet?"
"You pighead, by the time you see them, it's already too late. You have to look at them with your heart. Where is the method I taught you before to see the world with your heart?"
[In view of the general environment,
Li Xiuyuan was so angry that he cursed: "Are you an idiot? When you go up the mountain, you forget the skills you learned at home."
Li Bai opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a long time.
If it goes according to Mr.'s will, wouldn't it be possible for me to fight against the enemy with my eyes closed?
After thinking about it, he handed the bamboo sword to Li Li Xiuyuan and said with a smile: "Sir, close your eyes and show Li Bai how to do it."
When Li Xiuyuan saw it, he immediately understood. He held his ear and smiled: "I will only demonstrate once. Whether you can see clearly depends on your ability."
Li Bai looked at him, nodded and smiled, "Understood!"
Taking the bamboo sword, Li Xiuyuan took out a handkerchief and covered his eyes.
He said: "Let's do it and see which one is faster, your falling leaves or my sword!"
Li Bai took a breath, grabbed a handful of grass from the ground, and shouted: "Sir, wait for me to call one, two, three, one, two..."
Before San could shout, the mischievous Li Bai threw the grass in his hand at Mr.'s head.
As he spoke, in the flash of lightning, the bamboo sword in Li Xiuyuan's hand seemed to have eyes. He slashed with the sword several times, making Li Bai dazzled.
After he understood, Li Xiuyuan had already put away the bamboo sword and quietly handed it to Li Bai.
He said calmly: "Look clearly, count how many pieces of grass are there?"
"One, two, five... thirteen pieces, a total of thirteen pieces. Sir, you are so awesome. You are the most awesome person I have ever seen!"
Li Bai looked at the neat sword marks on the green grass on the bamboo sword and was deeply shocked.
This time, it was even more terrifying than the first time he saw his husband chop off the peach branches on the street with petals.
He just grabbed a handful of grass from the ground, and he was able to wave thirteen pieces of grass with his eyes covered...
Li Xiuyuan shook his head: "
Forget it, go to the mountains to pick up pine needles and bamboo leaves, then go home and practice slowly. "
Taking off the handkerchief covering his face, Li Xiuyuan laughed.
Li Bai thought for a while and tried to ask: "Sir, can you practice swordsmanship with bamboo leaves and pine needles?"
Li Xiuyuan sighed and cursed: "Are you going to pick it up or not?"
