Chapter 819 Looks Beautiful
Huai Shi couldn't be sure whether what he saw was real or illusory.
Because for Sword Master Kamiizumi, reality or illusion is no longer important at all. What really matters is the willpower that reverses the phenomenon.
He thinks he is here, so he is here.
Everyone can see him.
If he thought he had drawn the knife, everyone could see him draw it.
If he thinks that the enemy he kills will die.
Then his enemy is dead.
It is this absolute confidence in oneself that creates this incredible ultimate intention.
Now, with the arrival of Shangquan, the originally depressed atmosphere of the entire dojo was instantly shaken, and everyone's eyes suddenly became fanatical.
A glow that is almost like faith!
It is the pinnacle that countless warriors worship day and night, yearning for, and the sacredness in the world.
Now, he sat behind his seat, smiled, raised his glass, and greeted his friends beside him: "Is the Great Tengu okay?"
The Great Tengu grinned, "Just make do with it, you're still far from death."
Shangquan smiled, "I thought you were too lazy to come."
The Daitengu shook his head indifferently, "How could I not go to a place where there is wine?"
"Then, please." Shangquan nodded.
"I don't remember what I promised."
The big tengu laughed strangely, but then he picked up the wine glass and drank with him.
Immediately afterwards, the old man looked towards Huai Shi and asked, "Is Mr. Russell okay?"
"Eat well, sleep well, and be healthy." Huai Shi replied: "I originally thought the sword master would ask another person."
"Ha, isn't that guy still alive and kicking? What's there to care about?" The old man also raised his glass to toast.
After having a drink with Huaishi, the old man sent greetings to the distinguished guests who came today.
There is no need to do anything else, just being here is enough to become the Dinghai Divine Needle, giving infinite confidence and joy to the disciples in the dojo.
The banquet began.
The singing and dancing continued.
There were no more surprises. The banquet went on in an orderly manner and finally came to an end.
After the servants removed the cups and plates and served tea, the dinner was finally coming to an end.
But everyone looked to the top with more and more anticipation.
Expecting to get guidance from the Sword Master, getting the favor of the old man, expecting to get advice from the top.
Even just to take a look at myself.
"I think everyone can't wait, right?"
Sword Master Kamiizumi smiled slightly and put down his teacup, "It's shameful to say that as the master of the dojo, after being accustomed to living in seclusion, the only time he teaches is at the banquet held every four years. It's really shameful.
Time is precious, let’s get started. "
He paused and said seriously and warmly: "This is the last lesson I can give you as a sword master."
"Here, I have a question to ask first."
The old man asked: "Everyone here is a warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles, a courageous high-roller, and a wise man with ever-changing ideas. So, among you, can anyone answer my confusion?"
He asked: “The people here must be like me, seekers who pursue peaks and challenges, and seek to become powerful at all costs.
But what I am curious about is, what kind of power can be called the strongest? "
As soon as he said this, everyone fell into astonishment and froze on the spot.
Incomprehensible.
Known as Yingzhou, no, he may be one of the few strong men in the world. The noble sword master would ask such a question.
But Shangquan still smiled, drank tea, and quietly waited for the disciples to come to the conclusion of their thinking.
A quarter of an hour later, he put down the tea cup and looked down at the last direct disciple he had accepted.
"Jiuchuan, have you thought about it?"
"Reporting to the teacher, this disciple is stupid."
The young man with glasses nodded and replied respectfully: "In the hearts of disciples, the power of a teacher is the strongest."
Shangquan shook his head and smiled, "Isn't there someone better than me? Aren't the seven natural enemies the real pinnacle in the world?"
"That's not what I'm looking for." Hisukawa replied flatly: "The only person I want is a teacher."
"Then you go back and practice again, maybe... eighty years? If it's faster, sixty years." Shangquan shook his head and sighed: "Then let's think about the sword master of Yingzhou."
That's not a scolding, nor is it a disappointment, it's just the result that has been understood for a long time.
Instead of being disappointed, Jiuchuan was ecstatic.
He was so excited that his hands were almost shaking.
"yes!"
He bowed respectfully.
And the people around him couldn't help but cast envious or even jealous glances.
A warrior appointed by the Sword Master who will be able to become the Yingzhou Sword Master in eighty years...
There may not be many eighty years in life, but how many sword masters are there in the whole world?
"So, where are you, Zhongju?" Sword Master asked.
The middle-aged man shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Students are just like Jiuchuan."
"But you are different from Hisakawa. What he envies is my swordsmanship, but what you long for is my power." Kamizumi said bluntly: "But my power is not the strongest, Nakazu, you are gone Crossroads."
"That's what the teacher taught me." Zhongju nodded calmly, as if he was ashamed: "By the time you understand this, it will be too late."
"It doesn't matter, it's especially late when it's time to make amends."
Shangquan said with relief: "You can go to the Imperial Palace tomorrow to ask for an official position. The Emperor is choosing people, so he will not treat you poorly. I also hope that you can serve loyally and serve the Emperor."
Zhongju was stunned for a moment, feeling both happy and sad. After a long time, he bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you for your generosity, teacher."
"So, with two unscrupulous disciples in the lead, others can speak freely, right?" Shangquan asked again, pointing to a disciple: "In your opinion, what should the strongest power look like? ?”
The disciple was stunned for a moment, hesitated, and finally asked tentatively: "Those who follow me will live, and those who go against me will perish?"
"Hahaha, that's not bad."
Shangquan touched his knees and smiled, "Then you shouldn't come to the dojo. Instead, you should go to the Astronomical Society. If you go to defend Zarathustra, the entire current situation will be nothing more than a plaything to you."
As he said that, the old man waved his hand to indicate that he did not need to be ashamed and asked another person.
The student bowed his head and replied solemnly: "I believe that unfettered freedom is the real power."
"Then you may be in pain, Fuwa-kun."
Shangquan said compassionately: "The power you desire does not exist in the current situation. I am afraid that you can only break away from the shackles by going to the border and hell, right? Maybe one day, you will go to the Tomb of the Unreturnable, Abandon all this and go to hell to seek relief..."
As he said that, he looked at Yuan Yuan and said, "Little girl, you are the number one sword hunter. In your opinion, what kind of power is the strongest?"
"I don't know."
Yuan Yuan answered calmly: "There are too many powerful people in this world, and even my great-grandfather cannot be the strongest. But in my opinion, the strongest power should be something that can bring hope to the suffering people." .”
"Then you need to learn more from your teacher."
Shangquan glanced at Huai Shi with a half-smile, then looked at the cabin in the forest: "So, where is this courageous young man?"
The hut in the forest bowed respectfully and gave the standard answer: "The silence is darkness, the sight is clarity, no food, no sleep, no rest, wind and rain are just a sigh of relief..."
This is a decisive conclusion that every Lin family member will make.
——The top of the road of evil karma·Zhu Jiuyin!
"Hahahaha, regardless of whether it is true or not, he is a naughty little guy." Shangquan shook his head and laughed, "But being so lonely, wouldn't it be lonely for you?"
The hut in the forest lowered his head and did not answer.
"Think again, young man." Shangquan said: "Think again, the rest of your life is long enough for you to find the answer you want."
This time, the cabin in the forest was no longer silent. He suddenly raised his head and asked loudly: "What if there is no answer?"
"Then turn yourself into the answer."
Shangquan said, "If you want to walk the path that has not been taken by your predecessors, then you yourself will be a beacon for those who follow you. You should not be afraid, but should be happy as a seeker."
The young man froze on the spot.
Shangquan looked away and looked to his side.
"Hey, hey, just teach your disciples well, why are you watching me?" The big tengu scratched the tip of his red nose, feeling helpless.
Shangquan said, "We've come, why should we be stingy?"
The Great Tengu sighed, "In my opinion, being able to drink endless wine, eat endless delicacies, and see endless excitement is the most beautiful and powerful power in the world... Saying it makes future generations laugh. "
"Ah hahaha, he who is content is always happy, so why should he be ashamed?"
Shangquan clapped his hands and laughed. Finally, he looked at Huaishi.
Huaishi put down her wine glass helplessly.
"So, Huaishi-kun, can you give me the answer?" Shangquan asked: "For a person like you, you have achieved such an achievement, but your desire is still unsatisfied and unstoppable. What is the power you are chasing?"
"It's not something far away, Mr. Shangquan. It's not something that outsiders know about, and it's not worth mentioning."
Huai Shi shrugged and smiled self-deprecatingly: "There is no need to show off one's embarrassment."
At best, it’s just a matter of living a happy life.
Such ordinary wishes are nothing compared to those grand ambitions.
Shangquan nodded and did not force himself any further.
Keep asking.
Some people may have looked confused at first, but then they all fell into deep thought. In the end, their faces became solemn and they all lowered their eyes.
Listen respectfully.
"I'm here today not to hold a wish-sharing meeting, nor to solicit answers that are doomed to be fruitless."
Shangquan paused for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I believe that from so many answers, you have already got the answer you want."
The most powerful force in the world?
This was a false proposition from the beginning.
An out-of-reach phantom, a mirage too far to pursue.
It just looks beautiful.
