Those Years When I Was Cannon Fodder

"Master Afan, well, I already know the story of their infighting. Have you found a woman surnamed Zhao who is connected to the Zhao family?"

Of course the old man would not forget this, and immediately said,

"It really does. I strolled around the backyard of the city lord's mansion and found that a few Zhao family members who came over this time secretly went to contact a certain woman, but it was not the mother of the young city lord."

The old man tried his best to describe the woman's appearance.

Chu Yu matched her with a person she saw at the reception banquet.

It seems to be a certain favored lady.

I don't know if it was the city lord who was buried deeper, or if she really guessed wrong.

In just one night, Master Afan was able to find out so much information, and Chu Yu was very satisfied. After all, he was not a professional, so he said,

"Thank you, Master Afan."

"By the way, I don't know if I should say something." The old man hesitated a bit, but he still said, "There is a child in this city lord's mansion with good qualifications, who is born to learn swordsmanship."

"How good is it?" Chu Yu made up her mind long ago that she would not interfere in the internal affairs of the Han family, so naturally she would not pay attention to the talents of the Han family, and said casually, "Is it better than Afan?"

"Strictly speaking, he is better than your sister. He is born with a sword bone."

The old man said solemnly.

For a moment, Chu Yu was a little stunned.

"Natural sword bone?"

Chu Fan and New Year's Eve couldn't help but look over. The old man seemed a little embarrassed, but still said,

"Although Afan's talent in kendo is indeed high, but it is different from his natural sword bone. The natural sword bone should be born to learn swordsmanship. You don't need to comprehend it the day after tomorrow. You can learn the law once you learn it, it's not a problem to draw inferences from one case, it's like a single spiritual root in sword cultivation, no, it should be a Tian Ling root."

The so-called Heavenly Spiritual Root means that there is no impurity in the Spiritual Root, and it is full.

Not a single spiritual root is called the Tianling root.

Chu Yu's originally casual expression gradually converged, her brows also wrinkled, and she looked at the old man,

"so what?"

The old man was inexplicably a little embarrassed by her, but at this time, she was stunned by her question.

"What so?"

"So what are you going to do? You want to abandon our Afan and go to someone else's arms? Just because that person's talent in kendo is better than my sister's?"

Chu Yu called Chu Fan a rare sister, but her tone was full of displeasure.

If this happened to someone else, she would naturally be able to think calmly, and maybe look at the follow-up melon happily.

But it is very unpleasant when it happens to the relatives around me.

Even the look on New Year's Eve became subtle.

On the other hand, Chu Fan himself was quite calm. He didn't seem to take this matter to heart and was not in a hurry.

Seeing Chu Yu's appearance that if you dare to say anything, I will dare to fight with you, the old man shook his head speechlessly, and quickly explained,

"Of course it's impossible. Although it is more difficult to have a natural sword bone, why would a dignified immortal like me really want to accept an apprentice just because of the other person's aptitude? It seems that natural sword bones are rare, but it's not that I haven't seen them before. However, it is indeed a shortcut, but sword cultivators have never tolerated the word shortcut. Not only with sword cultivators, but also with cultivation, the more you want to take shortcuts, the narrower your path will be.”

The old man's eyes showed memories, "I think at the beginning, my aptitude was actually average, not so good, not so bad, just in the middle, very ordinary and unattractive, like a transparent person, similar to Afan, but In the end, I soared, and all my contemporaries fell. It can be seen that kendo is broad and profound, and aptitude can only make you go that way faster and make it easier, but if you just have good aptitude, you feel that you can be here There will be achievements along the way, and there will not be so many early-stage geniuses who will be wiped out in the end."

"Just like the analogy I made just now, for sword cultivators, the natural sword bone is nothing but an excellent heavenly root, but what kind of achievements can be achieved in the end depends on the person. What are you trying to do, isn't it enough to directly divide the class by aptitude?"

"My cultivator, my life is up to me!"

Chu Yu couldn't help but rolled her eyes, hehe twice,

"I'm sorry, Master Afan, the current cultivation world is indeed divided by aptitude, otherwise, how can a single spiritual root and two spiritual roots be able to enter the inner door? Five spiritual roots like me still rely on the Arqiong gang. I came through the back door."

The old man was speechless. If someone else said this, he might think that the other party was inferior or resentful of his own aptitude, but Chu Yu?

Stop it!

The word aptitude never hit her, did it?

But after thinking about it in his heart, he still explained on the face,

"Qualification is really important, when your cultivation base is still weak. But when you are strong enough to reach a realm like mine, you don't even need to go to ascension, as long as you leave this lower realm and go to the Middle Thousand World and the Great Thousand World. You will find that aptitude is really not that important, and some people are even accustomed to enjoying the benefits brought by aptitude. In this case, they can only go downwind, and once they are hit by a headwind, they will be at a loss."

"On the contrary, those with poor aptitude can strengthen their future, strengthen their beliefs in such a boring and hopeless practice, and open up the road more and more. The sword cultivator of the generation, the sword heart of the most important sword cultivator, do you really think that a single bone can decide everything?"

Chu Yu said as if deliberately contradicting,

"But how come I heard that there is a saying that genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration, but sometimes it's the 1% inspiration that is lacking, which is enough to see the words aptitude and talent It's still important."

Of course, the old man has heard this sentence. After all, he and Chu Fan have been in that world for decades, but at this time he couldn't help shaking his head.

"For some mortals, this sentence of nature is the truth, but for us monks, it is not the case."

Chu Yu immediately knew what he meant.

The biggest difference between monks and mortals is not how powerful the monks are. Everything in her previous life is enough to prove that mortals can also master powerful powers.

The biggest difference is actually the lifespan!

Sure enough, the old man went on to say,

"For mortals, their lifespan is so long, they don't have so much time to grind slowly, and qualifications and inspiration can shorten the time they accumulate, they can succeed quickly, and then continue to enter higher platforms, But for cultivators, as long as you live, you can always spend more time to surpass and create the future you want, as long as you are determined to keep moving forward along the set path, of course—"

The old man added,

"The premise is that you are in the right direction. If you take the wrong path yourself and make the road narrower and narrower, then naturally there is no future to speak of. Why does this sentence emphasize inspiration so much? It is because many people do not want to. Go and wait, they're used to the fast-paced life and can't wait to see their hard work pay off."

"But for monks, some fruits are not annual, but perennial, and it may take a long time to brew before they can bear rich fruits underground."

Chu Yu said again like a bully, "Everything you said is based on a long enough lifespan. What if the lifespan is not enough?"

The old man smiled and said, "That's why we have a saying in the realm of self-cultivation, that if you don't have enough aptitude, if you come by chance, it's like you, little fish."

Chu Yu frowned and directly retorted,

"I'm the exception."

"Then how do you know that there is only one exception. I've seen a lot of immortals who have low aptitude but have risen through the ages."

Chu Yu was dumbfounded.

"I'm not arguing with you about the fact that some people are good and some people are bad. I just want to ask you a question at hand." The old man suddenly said, "New Year's Eve, Xiaoyuer, Afan, you guys. You have been lucky enough to get your own chance, so you don’t have to worry about the future, so are you willing to be someone else’s chance?”

Chu Yu supported her forehead, and co-authored with him to say so much. The focus was actually on the last sentence.

"You want us to help him?"

The old man nodded honestly,

"As a sword cultivator, I always like everything related to swords. Although I am not only aptitudeist, I also feel that it is a pity that the natural sword bones have been ruined. Of course, it is up to you to decide what to do. If you don’t want to intervene, you can only forget it. After all, the most important thing to me is my relative, Xiao Fanfan.”

Chu Yu burst into laughter and looked at Captain Chu,

"Afan, did you get along with Master like this in private?"

It's not strange for the old man to say such a nauseous kiss, but when he said it to Captain Chu, it was very strange.

Chu Yu thought: The three sisters are not as tired as the old man when they are together. I wonder if Captain Chu has been with the master for a long time, will they also get such a habit?

She was really looking forward to it.

Chu Fan coughed lightly and brought the topic back.

"Master, do you want to accept that person as your apprentice?"

She said seriously, "I don't mind having an extra junior brother or junior sister."

"No no no." The old man shook his head quickly, "You don't mind me, I'm not interested in accepting any more apprentices, the path of sword cultivation I take is lonely and lonely, and it is indomitable, I don't need companions, nor apprentices. , as long as my kissing wife is born with a sword tool to accompany me."

After all, what a cultivator can't escape is the word longevity. He has sent away too many people, from the pain at the beginning to the peace later.

But his apprentice was luckier than him.

The three sisters have a chance, maybe they can accompany each other until the end.

"Because I have a relationship with you as a teacher and apprentice, I only accepted you, but I am not a good teacher myself. To tell you this news, I just want to see if you need a good relationship. If you don't want to. Intervene, then don't intervene, it's enough to teach you one, you alone are enough to inherit my mantle."

The old man's calm attitude made Chu Yu heave a sigh of relief. She was really worried that the old man would see other people's aptitude as better and go to be someone else's master.

Especially those born with sword bones, it sounds very powerful. It seems that she was born to learn swords. Judging from her contact with the old man, she also knows how much the old man likes swords and everything related to it.

Although a teacher is a preacher, a teacher and a teacher, who doesn't want to pass on his mantle?

Don't want to hand over your Taoism to someone with better qualifications?

Don't want a better apprentice?

She was really worried that this person who was said to be born with a sword bone would bring storms and waves to their peaceful days.

Chu Yu was never afraid of conflicts outside, but she was afraid that there would be turbulence inside, and she was afraid that Chu Fan would be sad!

Chu Qiong was sad once, she couldn't beat Shen Junyi, so she could only bear it.

But this person, she doesn't know anything about the other party, what if he bullies Afan on the basis of his good aptitude?

He doesn't need to do anything else, just occupy the old man and deliberately show off in front of Ah Fan, how much favored he is, how good his talent is, and the mentality of Chu Fan's collapse from cultivation to life - even if Chu Fan is not a desire for love A child who is not a child will not care about him, but Chu Yu feels very abusive when she thinks about it.

It is very unreasonable to say that before she had no contact with Master A Fan, she always regarded him as an accessory of Chu Fan, a grandfather who only belonged to her.

Is there any old grandpa who can leave the original protagonist and take care of others?

This kind of plot appears in the book and will be scolded to death by readers.

Of course, after having been in contact with the old man for a period of time, she became less biased, and could generally accept that Chu Fan had an additional junior brother and junior sister, but the premise was that the other party would not be a demon, and it would not hinder Chu Fan's cultivation and life.

"Otherwise, Afan can't be ruthless, and this villain can only be done by me."

She thought silently~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and finally asked,

"Master Afan, tell me specifically, what happened to the natural sword bone?"

The old man sighed, "This matter is simple and simple. It is said that this person's mother was a maid in a study. One day, City Lord Han slept with him, and then he had him. When he died, his mother didn't have a prominent family. The young city master, as usual, gave him a nanny and a maid to serve him, but he just had a bite to eat. I think he was sixteen years old, but he was only eleven. He looks like two years old, he is frighteningly thin, and he is also cultivating the exercises from mainland China. Now he has only cultivated the fourth level of Qi, and his aptitude is worse than your sister. , this special physique is good, if you don’t eat Linggen’s bowl of rice, a little understanding will lead to an improvement in your cultivation, but it doesn’t mean you don’t need good exercises.”

"No matter how good the aptitude is, it can't stand such a delay. If the natural sword bone is not developed, when he is twenty years old, it will be almost useless."

"What's more important—" the old man said with a bit of heartache, "He is obviously born with a sword bone, but he actually cultivates a knife, a knife, what I hate most is the sword repair."

Chu Yu suddenly had a feeling that Master Afan specially mentioned this person to them, and the main reason was probably this.
