3. Grow up

When he was young, Tu Fangchen was not favored by his family because of his identity. He lived outside with his mother and rarely went out. He also studied kendo independently and did not even watch TV.

Therefore, for a child who lacks childhood and is almost unfamiliar to the outside world, he naturally cannot imagine what a magic machine and a pump are...

He thought this was the realm that sword energy and sword intent, those ancient sword masters longed for.

Maybe Chenxing's talent is really poor. In the days ahead, Master Zhizhen was too lazy to teach him, but just let him eat, drink and sleep well. As long as he doesn't leave the temple, he will do whatever he wants.

Chen Xing was finally lucky enough to see the unique skills of swordsmanship, and was ashamed of his low talent. He was too late to practice, so he naturally would not disobey.

When he thought of the meat in the bowl every meal, Master Zhizhen was so kind that he felt more ashamed when he asked him to eat more. Only by practicing hard can he live up to this earnestness!

Every day, in the morning, he would stand in the corridor and wave his knife to the curtain; at noon, he would listen to Master Zhizhen talk about some cultural knowledge so that he would not become illiterate or disconnect from the times; in the afternoon, he would practice the swordsmanship of the Tufang family; in the evening, he would sit by the pond and meditate, calm down and feel the existence of "meaning".

Master Tsuma just looked at him with a smile. With Jiro Suzuki, his life was even more nourishing, and he was not stingy with spending money on Chen Xing, so that he could eat well and wear warm clothes and raise it in a clean and clean manner.

The people from the Suzuki family come every once in a while. Sometimes it is Suzuki Jiroki who comes to chat with Master Tomochi and pays some IQ tax; sometimes it is Suzuki Tomoko who comes to see Chenyu and asks about his well-being, and always brings some new clothes; Suzuki Ayako and Suzuki Sonoko sisters also come, bringing snacks, talking about the latest things outside and at school, their ideals, and their new friends.

Chen Xing always listens quietly. He likes this family and also likes to stay in Qinglan Temple. He is used to practicing and will not feel lonely.

Master Zhizhen would also sit aside with a smile and listen, looking at the stubborn silly boy, he was also happy.

In spring, birds sing and flowers in the yard are fragrant, and the small figures are practicing slashing one after another.

Sweat wet the clothes. Master Zhizhen boiled water in the yard and occasionally rushed him to the back mountain to pick some wild camellia tea, which he said was the only way to practice.

In summer, there are a lot of mosquitoes by the pond, and even if the meditative boy is bitten, he will remain motionless in all directions.

Master Zhizhen always muttered and applied floral water to him in anger, and later gave him some mosquito coils... but it was a big deal for the old man.

In autumn, the boy will wave his sword against the fallen leaves, imagining that they are enemies one by one.

In the bleak wind, the red leaves are everywhere in the sky. Master Zhizhen looked at the flexible figure among the fallen leaves and couldn't help but fall into deep thought: Are you really a master who is invincible? Then, "eating, drinking, sleeping well" is the supreme truth of your practice?

In winter, there is an extra snowman by the pond...

Master Zhizhen was wearing a cotton jacket to beat the snow, his white and fat fingers were frozen red, and then he carried the boy who had frozen into a popsicle into the house with his runny nose.

He always said, I am old and can't stand this, you can calm down and don't kill me...

One day, Chen Xing drew his sword from the air and the curtain fell down. He couldn't help but exclaim. But Master Zhizhen casually said that he accidentally pressed the remote control and asked him to continue... The boy at that time didn't understand.

In this way, spring comes and autumn comes and falls, cold comes and heat comes and goes, year by year.

The former young boy grew up to be a young man, with a well-proportioned figure and a handsome appearance, especially those peach-blue eyes, with calm eyes and deep pupils. It is inexplicable that the incense in the temple seems to be getting better and better. There are always some girls who don’t go to burn incense and come to see the young men in the yard.

Master Zhizhen became more and more happy and took in the money for indulgence and oil with joy.

More than ten years have passed, and he has become older and can't eat meat anymore. He just looks at the boy who is practicing slashing with one eye, and his eyes are still so kind.

He had deceived him, but he still believed it without doubt. He had never stopped practicing for ten years.

The so-called swordsmanship also became his heart.

On the day, the sun set, Chen was lucky to have dinner. After packing the dishes, he still had to sit by the pond quietly, but Master Zhizhen suddenly spoke.

"I'm so happy."

"Um?"

"Talk with me."

"good."

Chen Xing sat back.

The lights are very bright.

"I'm old." As soon as Master Zhizhen spoke, a trace of desolation came to his face.

Chen Xing looked at his old and elderly face, and thought of the night more than ten years ago that he had experienced separation from life and death like this. At that time, he regretted that he could not step into that house and not see those so-called relatives.

But now, it is so real that we have to say goodbye to an old man who has been with him for more than ten years.

As he thought about it, tears came from the corners of his eyes and he choked up and said, "You can explain your funeral with peace of mind, I will do it and send you the end."

"You!" Zhizhen almost choked to death in one breath.

I just want to imply that I am old and don’t want to move to give you some mosquito coils. You won’t take this summer with you?

You just need a bite!

But since that's the case, Tomoma couldn't help but think of life and death. I've made a lot of money from Suzuki Jiroki over the years. I'm almost eighty years old and I've earned enough money. I've run away as early as possible. I heard that the beaches in France are good and beautiful...

"Cough cough." Thinking of this, Zhizhen coughed a few times and said in an old tone: "I have nothing to teach you anymore. The rest of your practice depends on you to understand."

"Teacher..." Chen Xing finally couldn't help but shout out.

Zhizhen's body shook and tears flowed.

It's broken... Isn't this related to cause and effect?

Chen Xun was moved by the old man, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

Zhizhen was really crying. He drank and ate meat but was most superstitious about cause and effect. Now he was thinking that France might not be able to go to, bikini, long legs... sucked, he wiped his tears and quickly gave his honor, "You go first, don't delay your practice, wait for something tomorrow."

"Yes." Chen Xing went to the old place by the pond with a heavy heart and sat on the bluestone slab with fart marks.

"Oh." Zhizhen felt bald.

...

Early the next morning, when Chen Xing washed up, he found that the master actually got up earlier than him!

Chuyang's light shone in the courtyard, Chijin was wearing a decent double-breasted suit, wearing a gentleman's hat, and leaning on a cane in his hand, looking decent.

Chen Xing choked back half of the toothpaste foam.

"I'm leaving." Zhizhen said with a smile, with kind eyes and warm tone, like a warm wind blowing through the wheat waves.

Chen Xing looked blankly, unable to describe his mood at this moment in time, just shook his head.

"I used to think of looking around. I didn't have a chance before, but now it's too late if I don't go." Zhizhen said.

"Teacher..." Chen Xing was extremely reluctant to leave.

"Cultivation cannot be limited to a single inch, and you must go out and experience the worldly ways." Master Zhizhen said.

"I still want to practice with you." Chen Xing said.

"Nothing!" Master Zhizhen admonished: "You are a man, you have to grow up and shoulder the responsibilities of life!"

"Yes." I'm glad to be taught.

"I will say hello to Suzuki Consultant when I settle down." Master Zhizhen coughed lightly, "If you don't understand anything in your practice, you can send me an email."

"Email?" Chen Xing was stunned.

"Look, you still have a lot to learn." Master Zhizhen said earnestly.

Chenxun lowered his head and expressed deep shame.
