Zhang Hui packed his clothes and bedding at the Zhigengyuan residence, because Xu Gui and Xiang Yan discussed the punishment for him, that is, let him live in the stone cave behind Luyoutang to copy books.
Zhang Hui was planning to tell Xu Gui and Xiang Yan that he wanted to go to Mount Seymour to inquire about Lu Yan. He has been collecting news about Mount Seymour and the Demon Sect since his return from Longdu. Now he can do it. The preparations are almost done, he wants to try to speak out this plan, hoping that Xu Gui and Xiang Yan can agree, but now he has to be punished, that is impossible to shirk.
Yun Dou watched and muttered: "Mr. Xu originally only said that you should go to the stone cave to reflect, but then a Mr. Xiang popped up and said that you can't just eat rice in the cave, so you have to add a copy for you. The book errand, Mr. Xiang's heart is really poisonous."
Zhang Hui smiled, thinking that even a temperless person like Yun Dou was saying that Xiang Yan was ruthless, which shows that Xiang Yan is really difficult to deal with.
He also discovered that the disciples in Lushan generally thought of Xu Gui, because Xu Gui was kind, kind, and impartial, while Xiang Yan was harsh and old-fashioned, which made people afraid to approach easily.
But Zhang Hui felt that Xu Gui seemed to care about him on the surface, but in fact he did not value him much. He would not be regarded as the chief disciple carefully cultivated by him like Yuan Zhixing and Fang Zhu.
He guessed that Xu Gui's care for him might also be because Lu Yan had fought for Lushan, because of the kindness of caring for the hero's descendants, but in Xu Gui's heart, he was always inferior to his father.
When Zhang Hui arrived in the cave, someone in the cave had already placed the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and the books to be copied there.
The size of the cave is not much different from the place where he lives in Zhigengyuan. There is a flat long rock for him to sleep, and an old square table for him to copy. It seems that this place may have been specially for criminals for hundreds of years. The disciple who made the mistake came to reflect.
The outside of the cave is also exceptionally clean. It takes a short walk and then a turn to reach Luyoutang.Zhang Hui got such a place, but he was a little happy. He just needed such a clean place during this time to reflect on what he had learned recently.
Zhang Hui stayed in the cave for a day, only the Yundou brought him food from the meal, and the two could speak for a while, and at other times they could only talk to themselves.
After coming to Lushan for so long, he has never been so quiet. Now that he is quiet, he will inevitably feel lonely in his heart.
He took out the saber he was carrying with him. The sword had been with him for a few days. If it looked like it had been polished to be more shiny, and it looked more familiar than before.
He began to miss his eyebrows. During the period when he returned from the capital to Lushan, there seemed to be a lot of noisy things. Although he occasionally thought of his eyebrows, he did not seem to have a chance to calm him down for a long time. miss her.
"I don't know where she went with the owner of the valley now? She seldom goes out. Now she must be very happy to be able to walk so far." Zhang Hui thought of this, and a smile appeared in his mind. At that moment, There seemed to be more light in front of me.
Zhang Hui was sitting at the table and flipped through the books he needed to copy. There were 17 or 8 books. When he was in Linshui Town, sometimes Gou Xin helped others with writing documents. It was fast, but such seventeen or eight books were enough for him to copy for a while.
He was looking at the content of the book. It was mostly related to swords, but not specific swordsmanship. It was like some of the experiences and expositions of various swordsmanships by Lushan ancestors.
He grabbed a copy at random, saw something that appealed to him, and read it along, unknowingly reading it all.After reading this book, he found that there were still some doubts in his mind, so he wanted to look through the remaining books to see if this aspect was mentioned.
After watching for nearly two hours, he was so tired that he fell asleep on a rock on one side.In his sleep, he was dancing his sword heartily, as if he had never been so happy and confident before. He felt that the sword in his hand seemed to carry his will, where his heart thought, his sword was Where can I go, this feeling of going wherever I want is great.He was not surrounded by Lushan, nor was it Linshui Town, but erratic clouds, and his feet seemed to be trampled in the air, but at this time, there was no fear in his heart.
When the feeling of pride and beauty in his heart rose to a peak, he suddenly woke up from his dream and opened his eyes to see that he was in a dark cave. What he saw was the cramped top of the cave. Surrounded by pitted walls, the cave is cold and deserted, and even the sounds of birds are heard from far away.
At this moment, he suddenly felt how lonely the road he was going to take, the reality was still far from his ideal state.
He sat up, sighed a few times, and began to sit at the table, carefully copying the book, and slowly enduring the boring process.
He started copying from the one he had just read, and in the process of copying, he made a detailed comprehension of what he had just read.
He imagined an old man at the age of Xie Zhuo sitting next to him. The two were slowly chatting about the contents of the book. He asked one question and the old man answered.He felt that this kind of dialogue with a wise man kept him in a clear state, and he could have a very subtle experience at any time.
During the days when he practiced swords with Yuan Zhixing, he felt a little bit distressed because he and Yuan Zhixing had different personalities, and the two had different opinions on some moves. He had no way to copy Yuan Zhixing’s practice, but could only do it himself. To explore a path that is more suitable for you.
On this issue, Yuan Zhixing also supports Zhang Hui not to imitate rigidly, but to learn and use. He once encouraged Zhang Hui to say: "If you can collide with a method that makes you comfortable, maybe you can surpass me with this trick. ."
Yuan Zhixing also said to him: "If you take the law from the top, you get the middle; if you take the law from the middle, you get the bottom. Don't be restricted to death in the process of learning swords with me. There are many people above me. , You have to learn from Mr. Xiang, from Master Uncle, and even be able to learn from Master Gu in the future."
Thinking back to these words of Yuan Zhixing now, he is full of gratitude, because Yuan Zhixing is humble and can rationally analyze the future path for him, so that he has a high vision and maintains an open state in the process of learning swords. .
Now, when he is copying the text in these books, he seems to be talking to his ancestors. He feels that he is walking outside from a small canyon. The road is long and deep, but there are more and more things to see. , The world in front of him is getting brighter and bigger.
