The Disciple’s Diligence Makes the Master Seem Lazy - Chapter 138

[Chapter 138 Daxu’s Garden [Additional update 74 pages in arrears]]

“I was fighting with Tang Sheng and found a small problem. I found that his moves were very beautiful and gorgeous, and very ornamental.”

“Actually, there’s no need to be so tactful. You want to say that my moves are flashy.” Tang Sheng said.

“…” Hearing Tang Sheng’s words, Dean Qinglian held back her laughter. Tang Sheng was really interesting.

“Hahaha, a little bit.” Li Xu said with a smile, “It’s indeed a bit fancy, but it’s actually useless. In fact, your spiritual power is very strong, but it’s not focused enough.”

Tang Sheng and Dean Qinglian asked at the same time: “Any suggestions?”

Li Xu said: “You’ve heard of basic swordsmanship.”

Tang Sheng said: “Isn’t that the swordsmanship that beginners learn? I can recite them by heart. They are point sword, collapse sword, lift sword, chop sword, stab sword, block sword, hang sword, support sword, twist sword, cut sword, press sword, cloud sword, wipe sword, intercept sword, carry sword, chop sword, and set sword.”

Li Xu nodded and said: “That’s it. What I mean is that you only need to learn this, keep learning and keep learning. Don’t want anything about Taoism, just focus on these simple swordsmanship.”

Tang Sheng said: “But these are very simple.”

“It is indeed simple, but not simple either. In fact, what I want to say is that if possible, you only need to learn one basic sword technique. If you don’t use a move, it’s fine. One move will determine the outcome. I’ll show you a simple demonstration.”

Li Xu put the sword back into the scabbard, pressed the hilt to the left side of his waist, held the hilt, quickly drew the sword, and struck out with one sword.

He quickly put the sword away, and the cold light reversed and exploded in space.

“Bang.”

Then there was a loud bang, and Dean Qinglian and Tang Sheng looked over.

A tree in the distance began to burst out with sword energy from the roots, tearing all the way to the top of the tree. The tree was cut open in an instant and split in half.

Both of them were shocked and looked at Li Xu in shock.

Li Xu said: “Of course I also used some spiritual power, otherwise I couldn’t split it. I don’t know how to use a sword, that’s probably what I mean. There is no need for so many gorgeous moves.

Too many Taoist methods will distract your attention.

Just focus on practicing basic sword techniques, treat each move as a Taoist method, practice to the extreme, and you should be able to become very powerful. Of course, this is just my opinion.”

Li Xu said.

Tang Sheng said, “I seem to understand something.”

Dean Qinglian also nodded. Li Xu really didn’t play by the rules and only practiced basic swordsmanship. This was the first time he heard of it.

However, it sounded very reasonable.

As expected of a guy who has lived for two hundred years, the two thanked him.

Li Xu shrugged and left. He just expressed his thoughts about Tang Sheng. He didn’t know if it was right or not. He just said what he wanted to say and looked at him and himself.

He walked back to the corridor and walked forward leisurely.

When he reached the end of the corridor, there was a green path in front of him. Just after walking a few dozen steps, he heard the sound of “dancing with guns and sticks” from the lotus pond not far away.

He walked over and saw that it was An Zhiyu. She was standing on a blooming lotus, holding a long spear in her hand, dancing in front of her.

She was wearing a crimson purple dress, with a slim figure. Her toes were tapped on the lotus, dancing slowly in the air.

Her graceful figure danced among the lotus and lotus leaves, just like an elf dancing in the flowers, and her posture was very beautiful.

Her purple skirt fluttered, her black hair danced, and the long spear in her hand kept stabbing out flowers in the air.

In fact, Li Xu was not watching the gun show at all, but watching the beauty, watching her proud body constantly showing in front of him.

“Swish.”

She stabbed out flowers of guns, and as the spiritual power continued to flow out, the lotus petals danced with her.

This scene was really beautiful, just like a fairy descending from the sky.

Li Xu walked step by step to the lotus pond with his hands behind his back.

An Zhiyu also discovered something, stopped practicing with the gun, looked at Li Xu, put the long spear behind him, his face slightly red, and whispered:

“Why are you here?”

“I was just passing by.” Li Xu said, “Why did you suddenly practice with the gun?”

“I think I need a weapon. After thinking about it, I feel that the sword is not suitable for me, and the knife is not suitable for me. In the end, I chose a long spear.”

“Did your master ask you to choose?” Li Xu asked.

“No, I want it myself. I just think it’s good to have a weapon to defend myself, and I’m not good at swords.” An Zhiyu said, “Do you have time? I’ll practice again. What do you think?”

She started to dance.

Li Xu jumped up and sat cross-legged on a lotus leaf. He looked at her quietly, watching her dancing in front of him like a moving elf.

She had a good figure, and there was nothing to complain about no matter which angle you looked at her from.

Her toes danced on the lotus, and the gun in her hand kept changing. You could hear green lotuses appearing in the air.

As she practiced, she jumped and her body quickly swept through the air. The air was full of her phantoms, secret figures.

It was as if thousands of An Zhiyu appeared in different postures.

Her movements kept changing in front of him. She was obviously practicing hard with her gun, but Li Xu felt that she seemed to be dancing, which was particularly beautiful.

The lotus petals around her were dancing, fluttering around, and the fish in the lotus pond also came out of the water to watch.

Her spear dance was getting faster and faster, and green lotuses appeared under her footsteps.

“Stop.” Li Xu suddenly waved his hand, asking her to stop practicing spear skills.

“What’s wrong?” An Zhiyu kept her toes pointing at her green lotus power and the posture of drawing the spear, looking down at Li Xu.

“Sit down.” Li Xu pointed to a lotus flower in front of him and asked her to sit down.

An Zhiyu put away her spear, sat cross-legged on a blooming lotus not far in front of Li Xu, and asked, “Is it because I didn’t practice well?”

“No.” Li Xu shook his head, stared into her eyes, and said, “You are not suitable for spear practice at all.”

An Zhiyu was stunned: “Ah?”

Li Xu held his forehead and said, “You should have asked your master before choosing to practice spear. Fortunately, your master didn’t see you practicing spear here. If he saw it, he would definitely scold you. I have to say that your spear skills are terrible, but you dance well, right?”

“Really?” An Zhiyu giggled. She heard Li Xu praise her for dancing beautifully, and her face turned red with laughter.

Li Xu looked at her and pouted, “Girl, the point is wrong. The point is the previous sentence. Your spear skills are really bad. You are not suitable for using a gun at all.”

An Zhiyu asked, “Then what am I suitable for?”

Li Xu said, “You are not suitable for any weapon.”

An Zhiyu was stunned.

Li Xu continued, “You have a strong talent. You are the legendary thousand-petal lotus platform. You are the undisputed number one in the Qinglian Dao. You are strong in enlightenment.”

“Spearmanship generally emphasizes close combat. Close-range combat requires a strong body. Your body is indeed very spiritual, but your body is not strong enough, not even as strong as Tang Sheng. Close combat is very disadvantageous. Even if you have a strong talent, you can’t play it out.”

“You should specialize in Qinglian Dao, use your spiritual power to condense different Dao methods, fight with others, and use different Dao methods to compete.”

“But I want to practice a weapon for self-defense.”

“Practice your head.”

Li Xu stretched out his hand and knocked her head in the air.

An Zhiyu touched her head, feeling a little wronged and depressed.

Seeing that she seemed to be about to cry, Li Xu hurriedly said, “If you really lack a sense of security, do you want me to give you a coffin?”

“Coffin?” An Zhiyu looked at Li Xu, are you serious?

“It’s the bronze coffin from the burial ground, a fifth-grade magic weapon.”

An Zhiyushu shrank his neck and said, “No, that thing looks too creepy, I don’t want it, you should use it yourself.”

Li Xu was speechless. Isn’t it just a coffin?

That’s a fifth-grade magic weapon. Yuyang County probably doesn’t have this level of treasure. How can you be so ignorant?

He shook his head helplessly, thought for a while and said, “In fact, you can practice a Taoist method called Lotus Spear. The characteristic is to condense a gun with spiritual power. It may also achieve the effect you want. Although it is not a real weapon, it at least looks like a weapon.”

“Is there such a thing?” An Zhiyu looked at her.

“I don’t have it, your master must have it. You can ask your master to tell you the Taoist formula.” Li Xu said.

“I’ll go right away, thank you.”

An Zhiyu jumped up, with a smile on her face, and disappeared in front of her eyes in an instant.

Li Xu looked at her gradually receding back, and couldn’t help but smile. In fact, he wanted to see if she would fall down in this walking posture.

Well, she didn’t fall until she disappeared.

Li Xu retracted his gaze.

With a move of his footsteps, he appeared outside the garden of Taixu Academy the next moment.

The weeds in this garden had been almost cleared, no, the flowers had been almost cleared as well, and at a glance, there was only an empty area.

In this empty area of five miles, Li Xu saw little Da’er sticking up her buttocks and twisting them around.

Li Xu walked in step by step, looking at her buttocks. If he was not a gentleman, he would probably do it.

In fact, he was just about to do it.

Da’er stood up straight and said with a smile: “Master, you are here.” Then she saw Li Xu’s outstretched hand frozen in the air.

Li Xu’s hand froze in mid-air, and then his eyes flashed, and his hand slowly fell on her head, pretending to pat the dust off her head.

“Your head is full of dust, let me pat it for you.” Li Xu said, constantly touching her head, and then pinching her cheeks.

“Master, don’t make trouble.” Da’er’s face darkened, and she opened her little mouth to bite his hand.

“You are really a dog.” Li Xu moved his hand away after he was almost bitten.

“Sniff…” Dahu suddenly sniffed her nose and said, “You smell like lotus. Did you go to the lotus pond?”

Li Xu was surprised: “You know all this. You really have a dog nose.” Dahu

complained, her mouth puffed with anger, and snorted coldly: “Sister Zhiyu was practicing spear in the lotus pond. I asked her to come and help me with the garden, but she refused to come. I really want to beat her up.”

Li Xu stretched out his hand and pinched her face, saying: “I have avenged you. An Zhiyu may never practice spear again in the future. Let’s vent your anger.”

Dahu smiled: “What did you say to her?”

“Her spear skills were so ugly. I said she was not suitable for spear training. I scolded her and said she was suitable for farming. Then she ran to find her master in a miserable state, wiping her tears as she ran.”

Li Xu said seriously, looking left and right while speaking, for fear that An Zhiyu would suddenly jump out, which would be so embarrassing.

Daxu smiled happily and said, “Beautiful, you deserve it.”

Laughing, she seemed to remember something and asked, “Have you seen my aunt? Where did she go? I couldn’t find her after searching for a long time.”

Li Xu said, “She is chewing tree bark in the back mountain. I think sooner or later our back mountain will be chewed up by her. Her hungry ghost is really terrible.”

Daxu smiled foolishly and said, “It’s okay. If she eats it all, I will plant it again for you.”

“That’s what you said.” Li Xu pinched her face. It was really soft and easy to pinch.

“Master, stop playing. Can you help me with something serious?” Da’er looked at Li Xu and said with pursed lips, “I’m too tired alone. Can you do it with me?”

Li Xu’s eyes lit up and said, “Of course I can do it with you. How? Where?”

Da’er giggled and said, “Of course I’ll do it here.”

Li Xu looked around, gritted his teeth, and said fiercely, “You are not afraid, so why should I be afraid? Come on, but I can’t move, you have to move by yourself.”

“What are you thinking about?” Da’er looked at him, “I mean to sow seeds with me.”

“Yes, it’s sowing seeds.” Li Xu looked at her innocently. That’s what he meant.

“I mean that the Wuli Flower Sea is almost done. I want to sow seeds on this land. However, this area is too wide and I can’t handle it alone. I need your help. It’s not what you understand.” So

that’s what he meant, but Li Xu still said seriously, “That’s what I mean.”

Da’er’s face was dark. She felt that Li Xu had obviously thought wrong just now. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth and clenched her two small hands covered with mud into claws.

She wanted to kill Li Xu.

Li Xu saw that she seemed to be furious and stepped back step by step: “Your hands are too dirty, don’t touch me.”

“Ah, ah, ah.”

She opened her little mouth, showing her little tiger teeth, and pounced on him.

Li Xu dodged, and then she pounced directly on the ground. Seeing that she was about to pounce on the ground and eat the mud, Li Xu quickly dodged back to his original position and let her pounce on him.

Her dirty hands grabbed his white clothes, and her small handprints were all over.

She just hung on Li Xu’s body, holding his shoulders with her two small hands, and her cherry-like mouth opened but did not bite Li Xu.

Instead, she gently kissed Li Xu on the lips, and quickly separated after a kiss, saying with a red face: “Master, this is my reward to you, please help me with the work.”

“I feel like I’ve been cheated.” Li Xu raised a smile.

“I’m the one who loses.” Little Da’er said coldly, “If you don’t do it, I won’t cook for you tonight.”

“Okay, okay, what do you want me to do?”

“Sprinkle the seeds.” Da’er took out several sacks of seeds from the storage bag and pointed, saying, “Master, these are the seeds I bought. Just sprinkle them evenly on this area. I’ll show you.”

Li Xu saw that she was about to sprinkle the seeds and suddenly said, “Wait, did you overlook something?”

Da’er looked up at Li Xu, “What?”

Li Xu said, “The soil is not moist enough. If you plant the seeds, it will be too dry. It will probably be difficult to grow flowers.”

Da’er suddenly remembered, looking at the dry ground, thinking, “This land is indeed a bit dry and not moist enough. What should I do?”

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, turned around and ran, saying, “I know.”

Li Xu saw her running away and asked, “What are you doing?”

“I’m going to find An Zhiyu.”

“???”

Li Xu’s head slowly formed three question marks.
