After a while, He Yiqi finished his meal and sat next to Lan Yu.
Lan Yu was staring at the book attentively, and even if He Yiqi came next to him, she didn't notice it at all.
"There is a great monk in the Western Desert..."
He Yiqi stared at the obscure-looking book in Lan Yu's hand while softly reading the words written on it.
After listening to He Yiqi reciting half of the text, Lan Yu couldn't help but smile and said, "Not bad, not bad. It seems that you have learned quite solidly. Although there are a few words in the middle that are still pronounced wrong, and the words between the sentences are You are still a little raw, but I have to say that you have made great progress. I guess it won't be long before you can start training!"
He Yiqi scratched his head and said, "This is all Mr. Lan Yu's good teaching, and it is all your credit."
Lan Yu smiled and shook her head, then asked, "Since you can read this passage, tell me, what does it mean?"
He Yiqi frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought while looking at the passage in the book in Lan Yu's hand. After a long time, he said, "This seems to be talking about a master from the Dunhuang Grottoes in the Western Desert and one of his disciples." story."
The smile on Lan Yu's face became even brighter, and her eyes showed encouragement and approval.
He Yiqi glanced at Lan Yu, and then continued, "The master said to his disciples that he could make Changbai Mountain, far away in Yanzhou, separated from the West Desert by thousands of mountains and rivers, appear in front of him. After hearing this, his disciples, Of course I don’t believe it.
So, the master took his disciples step by step to the foot of Changbai Mountain in Yanzhou. "
Why do you think about it after giving up the thought?
Lan Yu looked at He Yiqi, smiled slightly, and asked, "What do you think of this story?"
After thinking for a while, He Yiqi said, "This story should be meant to warn the world that only by hard work can you get rewards."
Lan Yu nodded upon hearing this and said, "What you said is good, but it's not comprehensive enough."
He Yiqi looked up at Lan Yu, his eyes full of curiosity.
Lan Yu slowly stroked the rabbit in her arms and said, "Everyone in this world has desires, even those great masters and monks who are compassionate and compassionate. They want all the people in the world to be freed from suffering. Those peerless masters who can move mountains and seas." , they want to take a further step in the realm of martial arts. Those high-ranking officials and nobles want greater power and more wealth.
They are all human and they all have desires.
These desires are like the Changbai Mountain in Yanzhou. The master wanted to realize his desire and wanted the Changbai Mountain to appear in front of his eyes. The mountain would not walk over by itself, so he chose to walk over by himself.
This is indeed telling people in the world to work hard and realize their own desires.
Those who can't get it, go for it yourself, and those who can't come back, go find it yourself. "
When talking about this, Lan Yu raised her eyes and looked at He Yiqi, and He Yiqi's eyes shone with thought.
"Those who can't come back..." He Yiqi murmured softly.
"But there is another way to interpret this story, and that is the last sentence. The master took his disciples to Changbai Mountain together.
When the master achieved the realization of his own desires, he also led others to achieve enlightenment.
This is what people often call Jiduduren..."
Lan Yu looked at He Yiqi who was confused by what he heard, stopped talking, and said instead, "Do you still remember what I told you about Jianghu?"
He Yiqi nodded and said, "I still remember some."
"Then do you remember that you said you wanted to go out and travel around the world?"
He Yiqi nodded silently.
Lan Yu waved a big hand called memory, and fished out these words that had been discarded into the depths of memory, covered with thick dust, from the river of forgetfulness, exposed them to the sun, and let them It emits a dazzling light.
"The rivers and lakes are like a node connecting countless people in Jiuzhou. Almost no one can guarantee that they will never touch the boundaries of the rivers and lakes in their lifetime, so...if you want to find someone whose whereabouts are unknown, it is best to The best way is to go to the rivers and lakes to find it!" Lan Yu said in a deep voice.
After having been with He Yiqi for so long, Lan Yu also understood the child's thoughts very well. She knew that he seemed to be fine now, but in fact, he was deeply concerned about the whereabouts of the landlady.
If he is allowed to keep this matter in his mind, it will cause a big disaster sooner or later.
Therefore, Lan Yu also wanted to take the opportunity to explain this matter clearly to He Yiqi, and try to help He Yiqi get out of the negative impact of this incident.
"I...I want to go to Jianghu!" He Yiqi raised his head and looked directly into Lan Yu's eyes and said in a deep voice.
Lan Yu nodded approvingly and said, "Have you thought about it carefully? Once you step into the world of martial arts, it may never be possible to get out again."
"I'm sure, I'm going to bring the boss lady back."
At this point, He Yiqi suddenly turned around and looked at the presbyopic and lame man beside him.
After the two of them saw He Yiqi's turn, they both immediately turned their backs, as if they were avoiding something.
"Do you two know where the boss's wife has gone?" He Yiqi put a hand on the lame man's shoulder and asked.
The lame man showed a very surprised face and said, "Ah...ah...this...I don't know. The landlady didn't tell me anything when she left!"
"Yes, yes, the landlady just told us to help her look after the store, and she didn't say anything else. We are also curious why she left suddenly!"
"Are you two sure you didn't lie to me?" He Yiqi asked fiercely with a fierce look on his face.
"Even if we were given ten thousand more courage, we wouldn't dare to lie to the little boss!" The lame man said with a look of fear.
He Yiqi's eyes swept over the faces of the presbyopic and lame man, but in the end he couldn't see anything, so he had to give up.
"Then I will reluctantly believe you two, hum!" He Yiqi said, "That...where is Jianghu?"
Lan Yu said with a funny look on her face, "Jianghu? Jianghu is just above these nine states!"
He Yiqi asked in confusion, "Above the Nine Provinces? Where is that? Is our town also considered a river and lake?"
"Haha, wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes!" Lan Yu said with a smile.
He Yiqi lowered his head, thinking about what Lan Yu said, but after thinking about it over and over again, he couldn't figure it out, so he had to give up and said, "Then I will go out and explore the world tomorrow. I have read everything in the book." It is said that those great knights who traveled around the world used the sky as their quilt and the earth as their bed, robbing the rich and giving to the poor, and acted like heroes! I think I can do the same!"
"You kid, why do you like to have these unrealistic dreams?" Aunt Biao walked into the house from the backyard at this time, and wiped her greasy hands casually on her dirty apron. He took a bench and sat next to everyone.
He Yiqi pouted and asked, "Mrs. Biao, how can you say that to me? Books say that if a man has no dreams, what is the difference between him and a salted fish?"
"A good man should indeed aspire to be everywhere and conquer mountains and rivers!" Lan Yu also said in support, "If you spend all day in a remote place, how can you realize your ambitions and stand upright!
I once heard that a great Confucian in Tianxia Academy once said, "Establish a heart for the heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, inherit the unique knowledge of the saints, and create peace for all generations!" "
Lan Yu's sonorous and powerful words made He Yiqiru hear Hongzhong Dalu's blood boiling, and he immediately started clapping the case.
However, Aunt Biao slapped him back and said, "With your small body, it's a problem whether you can even walk to the county town! What's more, you don't know the road. There are thousands of mountains and rivers in Kyushu. You can't tell I just lost my way in some mountain valley, and the sky and the earth are not working properly!"
He Yiqi said unconvinced, "Hardship...Hardship, bitterness and hatred have made me successful. I will not be afraid of difficulties. The books say that those peerless masters have experienced countless difficulties."
"Then you have to think about it, what can a child like you do if you enter the Jianghu? You must know that people in the Jianghu are sinister, and you are unable to guard against those insidious methods. Moreover, you are the only one who is defenseless. If a child with the power of binding a chicken enters the rivers and lakes, he will be bullied by the powerful warriors!" Presbyopia said sincerely, "So, it's better to It's better to stay in this Ping'an Restaurant and run the restaurant peacefully. Although this restaurant can't make much money, the landlady still left a lot when she left..."
At this point, Presbyopia suddenly paused, looking eager to defend something.
However, He Yi gave up his suspicious gaze and asked, "What did you leave behind? Please explain it to me honestly!"
Presbyopia hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't tell the reason.
He Yiqi said forcefully, "Tell me quickly, what exactly was left behind?"
At this time, Aunt Biao trembled, patted the presbyopic shoulder, and said with disdain, "You still treat me as a three-year-old child, right? Or do you two want to give the boss lady all the money she left?" Swallowed them all?!”
Aunt Biao stared at the presbyopic eyes with a scrutinizing gaze, which made the presbyopic eyes panic and their foreheads were instantly covered with sweat.
The lame man on the side even started shaking his hands and did not dare to look at Aunt Biao.
He Yiqi had a look of realization on his face and said with a smile, "It turns out to be money! I thought it was something. Show me how much money the boss lady has left?"
Under Mrs. Biao's threatening eyes, Presbyopia leaned close to He Yiqi's ear and said a number in a trembling voice.
He Yiqi's face was suddenly filled with surprise, and he couldn't help but cover his mouth, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"This... so much?" He Yiqi said in surprise, "What on earth is the boss lady doing outside? How can she be so rich?"
The presbyopic man on the side nodded hurriedly and said, "This number is absolutely true. The money is all kept in my house, and it has not been touched. If you don't believe it, I can take you to see it now." of!"
He Yiqi shook his head and said, "That's not necessary, but if I go out to explore the world, I have to take some of this money with me."
There was a trace of hesitation on Aunt Biao's face and she said, "The world outside is really chaotic. I heard that there is going to be a war outside. You are running around at this time and you have no ability to protect yourself. How can I I can trust you to go out alone!"
He Yiqi was also stunned when he heard the words, and for a moment he didn't know what to say in reply to Aunt Biao's words.
It has to be said that Aunt Biao's worries are indeed justified. The news that Emperor Zhou's army is about to go on an expedition has spread throughout Kyushu, and the shadow of the coming troubled times has fallen on the heads of the people of Kyushu.
In this chaotic world, if you don't have much ability to protect yourself, perhaps hiding in this remote town that is almost isolated from the world is the best choice. Even if you can't do it, you can stay safe and unscathed, and then Wait until the war is over, then come out and continue their peaceful lives.
"If I could give him the ability to protect himself, that would be all right!" Lan Yu said confidently.
Everyone present looked at him in surprise. Apparently they didn't know what Lan Yu relied on to be able to say such words with such confidence that He Yiqi had the ability to protect himself.
Aunt Biao was silent for a moment, her eyes lingering on Lan Yu's confident face for a long time, and then stopped on He Yiqi's face full of expectation.
The presbyopic and lame people on the side looked at Aunt Biao thoughtfully.
"If you can really make him capable of protecting himself in troubled times, we can also consider letting him go out."
After hearing what Aunt Biao said, He Yiqi turned to look at Lan Yu. Apparently he didn't know where Lan Yu's confidence came from.
Lan Yu smiled slightly when he heard this and said, "Then it's settled!"
Aunt Biao asked curiously, "What are the means you mentioned that can make He Yi abandon the ability to protect himself?"
Lan Yu stood up holding the treasure rabbit and said with a smile, "In these troubled times, if you want to protect yourself, money and power are no longer particularly reliable.
Even when those powerful and wealthy businessmen spend a lot of money to recruit powerful warriors to protect themselves, they have to worry about whether their actions will attract wolves into the house.
Therefore, the only way to survive in troubled times is strong strength, which is martial arts! "
When he said this, Lan Yu exuded an extremely powerful momentum, which made He Yiqi beside him stunned.
As for Aunt Biao, the presbyopic man, and the lame man, they were also stunned.
"You mean, you have a way to make the abandoned children start practicing martial arts?!" Aunt Biao said in surprise.
He Yiqi also looked at Lan Yu with half expectation and half doubt. Obviously, he was also very surprised that he could become a warrior.
In his impression, a warrior has always been a term for being powerful and aloof, a person who can tower over ordinary people, who can turn his hands into clouds and rain, and is a representative of arbitrary actions.
Just like those three extremely powerful warriors who blocked the way in front of their group that day, the aftermath of the battle almost destroyed an entire street of houses.
Is this still a category for ordinary people?
In his past understanding, martial arts may only be something that powerful people can possess, and have nothing to do with ordinary people like him.
However, today, someone actually told him that he could also start practicing martial arts.
How could this not surprise him.
Embarking on martial arts may give him the strength to protect himself in the turbulent rivers and lakes, and even stir up the storm and ride on the waves in the upcoming troubled times on this side.
"I have a friend who will stay with me for a long time because of some special things." Lan Yu paused and said, "He is a warrior!"
"Ah! Warrior!" He Yiqi exclaimed.
The faces of Aunt Biao and the other three people on the side also changed slightly.
