Chapter 1264
After saying this, Xuan turned around and crossed his legs and closed his eyes again.
For Hawkeye, he has the same mentality as facing Shanks. Since he wants to learn the way of swordsmanship, he just needs a little guidance. As for how much he can understand, or where he can go, it is not what he cares about.
Compared with teaching beginners, he has more important things to do now. The thoughts drifted out as the eyes were closed, and in an instant, they rushed out of the world where the pirates lived, and headed towards an unknown field, where there was boundless darkness and depth, and the distance between worlds The concepts beyond people's comprehension are full of chaos, destruction, killing, darkness, and all negative emotions that can be found.
...
Seeing Xuan turn around again, Hawkeye didn't ask again. Because he knew that Xuan in this state would not get any response even if he asked himself, all he could do was to carefully understand what Xuan just said.
In fact, he felt as if he had learned a lot. But when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that there was nothing. This state made him feel so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.
It's not his fault, things like realm and Tao, not to mention the pirate world that is biased towards the western world, even the orthodox fairy world, it is even more difficult to understand, which is why There is such a statement as qualification and understanding.
Closing his eyes, Hawkeye recalled what Xuan just said, he calmed down and threw the fish float again, this time he was not impatient, quietly waiting for the fish float to shake.
The time passed by every minute and every second, and there was no difference from the past. When the swimming fish passed by the hook, they would still cast "contemptuous" glances at Hawkeye.
There were several times when Hawkeye subconsciously became irritable. But he forcibly held back, and the feeling of hunger came from his stomach, wave after wave. It will be good for a while after the hunger passes, but the next wave will definitely be more difficult.
Under such circumstances, a day passed in the blink of an eye, and as the sun set, Xuan opened his eyes on time.
Looking at Hawkeye sitting in the sunset, Xuan smiled and said, "Yes, it seems that my heart is much calmer than before. This kind of thing can't be rushed, so let's get here today."
Hawkeye nodded, put away the fishing rod, and said to Xuan, "Although I still don't understand what you said today, I seem to feel something different."
Xuan smiled and shrugged, "Believe me, it's your illusion, it's your subconscious comfort to yourself, this kind of thing can't be awakened by simple words."
Hawkeye's eyelids twitched a few times, took a deep breath to calm himself down, cursed Xuan in his heart, but smiled on his face and said, "What kind of fish do you want to eat tonight?"
Chapter 119: The Way of the Sword
In the following time, Hawkeye fully devoted himself to fishing with straight hooks.
While enduring the hunger, he immersed himself in trying to perceive the sounds of all things, but unfortunately, after seven days, there was still little gain.
But he was not discouraged, and still insisted on devoting all his energy to accomplish this seemingly ridiculous thing every day.
If he hadn't seen Xuan catch a fish with this fishing rod with his own eyes, maybe he would also be puzzled and questioned. But if it was something he saw with his own eyes, he would not hesitate.
The so-called swordsman has a determination not to give up until he reaches his goal.
And with the passage of time, Hawkeye always feels that something has changed in him, but he can't tell the specific feeling. The only thing that is certain is that the fish that swim by will still cast contemptuous glances at him. . Although he knew that those fish were not in the same batch as the previous ones.
"The heart is like floating clouds and is always at ease, and the mind is like flowing water to let things go? What kind of perception is it?"
It was night, after Hawkeye closed his eyes, he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. He didn't eat anything for more than a week, only drank some water that Xuan took out in the portable space, and the hunger was like a lingering demon haunting him.
But as Xuan said, because the emerald green leaves provide a steady stream of vitality every day, he has no other discomfort except hunger, and his physical strength has not even declined much.
But going on like this is still not an option, not to mention that Hawkeye's ultimate goal is to learn swordsmanship. Now that he has been wandering at sea for so long, he has nothing to gain about swordsmanship except for his first-hand cooking skills.
"Listen to the voices of all things and feel the rhythm of the sea?" Hawkeye sat up, looking at the sea in the night and lost in thought. This kind of idealistic realm is a kind of mysterious and mysterious thing, which cannot be explained clearly in words.
Frowning, he stretched his arms into the cold sea water, hoping to gain something. The sea water is microwaved, and the emerald green leaves are also rising and falling, completely maintaining the same rhythm, and there is no drop of sea water splashing on the leaves from the beginning to the end, which is completely unimaginable for other small boats.
"etc……"
Suddenly, Hawkeye seemed to realize something, he didn't withdraw his arm, but carefully observed the ups and downs of the sea surface, and at the same time watched the law of the leaves' movement.
There is no delay, every move of the two sides is completely synchronized, it is not the force of the sea that pushes the leaves up, it is more like the leaves themselves are part of the sea, and it is precisely because of this that there is no sea water rushing up.
There seemed to be a door opened suddenly in front of him. Hawkeye kept thinking about something. After a few seconds, he turned his head suddenly and looked at Gen Uchiha who was sitting cross-legged at the other end.
In his observation, Uchiha Gen's figure was also bumping normally with the ups and downs of the leaves, but there was a strange law in it, everything seemed so natural and harmonious.
If the leaf itself has been integrated into the sea, then Uchiha Genza and this leaf are perfectly integrated, there is no distinction between each other at all. In comparison, he only regarded this leaf as a man-carrying tool.
After observing quietly for two hours, Hawkeye gathered all his thoughts and sat down cross-legged like Xuan Xuan. He began to imitate the slightest movements, trying to get in touch with the sea around him, and even this emerald green landscape. The leaves listen to each other.
The sun broke through the dawn, and when the first ray of morning light descended on the earth, Xuan opened his eyes on time.
At this time, Hawkeye was still sitting cross-legged at the other end, not waking up yet. Xuan raised his eyebrows when he saw it, and then smiled lightly, "This kid has a good understanding, even Shanks didn't get started so quickly."
Under normal circumstances, Xuan seldom praises people, especially after he got the person of Dark Gaia, because there are not many people in the entire multiverse who can really catch his eyes. Being able to be called "good" by him is basically the same as being talented and understanding, and that is an evaluation that few people in a plane can get.
This also shows Hawkeye's talent from the side. With his talent and the pursuit of the most swordsmanship, if he is not in the world of pirates, but placed in any high plane, his future is limitless.
But the limitations of the world itself are there. No matter how good Hawkeye's talent is, he can only reach the upper limit of this world in the future.
Not long after, Hawkeye opened his eyes, and his first reaction when he saw Xuan was naturally startled. But at this time Xuan smiled and waved his hands and said, "Seeing that you have a good understanding, you don't have to cook today's breakfast, just start fishing."
Now that Xuan said so, Hawkeye would naturally not express any dissent, so a new day began under such circumstances.
This time, Hawkeye went relatively smoothly. At noon, several fish started to circle the straight hook under his sinking heart, but after two seconds, these fishes realized something, and cast a slingshot at Hawkeye above. looked contemptuously.
Hawkeye has been able to accept this calmly.
The new day is still fruitless, but Hawkeye feels different, at least he has seen hope.
So within a few days after the analysis, he began to intentionally imitate every tiny movement of Xuan every night. Domineering to feel.
Finally, one day a month later, with the sound of splashing water, a fresh sea fish was caught on a leaf.
"Successful, I succeeded!" Looking at this sea fish jumping wildly on the leaves, Hawkeye's heart was filled with great joy. He hadn't felt this kind of joy bursting from the depths of his heart for many years. up.
Xuan stood up and nodded with a smile, "Very good. In more than four months, your talent ranks among the top three people I've ever met. Well, you can get off the ship."
"What!" The joy that had just surged was dissipated by this sentence, and Hawkeye said hastily, "But I haven't learned the sword technique I want, and you obviously haven't taught me the 'Sword Qi Leiyin' move! "
"Hahaha..." A loud laugh came from Xuan's mouth, "Swordsmanship, that kind of thing is just a trivial thing, you have now stepped into the gate of the way of swordsmanship."
Chapter One Hundred and Twenty
"The way of the sword?" Hawkeye asked in a puzzled tone.
Xuan nodded and said, "That's right, there are endless techniques and infinite ways. From the very beginning, I didn't want to teach you the so-called swordsmanship."
He paused, and turned his eyes to the distance, "Mihawk, your talent is the best I have ever seen. In terms of persistence and obsession with the sword, even Shanks is worse than you. But you have to remember that the road is blazed by oneself, and no matter how well someone else’s clothes fit, it will still be someone else’s. You will blaze your own path.”
"There is an island not far ahead, let's part there."
Listening to Xuan Pingping's words, Hawkeye lowered his head, this was completely different from what he had expected. He thought that he could learn the swordsmanship he dreamed of after catching fish, but he was told that all the training was over.
He can't confirm whether he has become stronger, but he clearly knows that he has obtained something that he has never thought of before. He can even hear the vitality of his sword, although it is actually different from the "life" that humans recognize. completely different.
He also finally understood that he was not wronged when he lost to Shanks at the beginning, and it wasn't just the so-called "Sword Qi Lei Yin" move. There was a gap in their understanding of swords before. Without these months of silence, even if he did learn the same moves, he would still lose to Shanks.
"Thanks!"
