MM Racing Chapter 398
Chapter 398
"How did you learn it?" Su Ning looked at the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass and asked with curiosity in his eyes.
The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass shook its leaves slightly and answered honestly: "I don't know when, when I just had a little consciousness, I found myself in a wonderful world. There were often Li Qingxuan, the Great Xia Emperor, Tongtian Sect Master and other strong men practicing swordsmanship around me. Those scenes were like bright stars, which deeply attracted me. I just watched them quietly, day after day, and my Nine-Leaf Swordsmanship was gradually formed in the process of watching them practice. I imprinted their swordsmanship, and then integrated my understanding of swordsmanship, which often evolved in my consciousness, just like A seed tries to take root and sprout in the soil. As time goes by, the essence of the sword seems to have been integrated into every leaf of my body, and finally formed a unique nine-leaf sword. "It paused, and then continued: "As for language, it is also through years of feeling their communication, imitating and learning their pronunciation and expression, and slowly I will learn it." After listening, Su Ning nodded and praised: "Not only can you speak, but you are also so smart, it's really not simple." He smiled and looked at this spiritual nine-leaf sword grass, and his love for it increased a little more.
After thinking for a moment, Su Ning smiled and said to the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass: "I really have nothing to teach you about the way of swordsmanship. Your understanding of the way of swordsmanship is much deeper than mine. Judging from your performance in resisting the attack just now, your understanding of the way of swordsmanship has reached a very high level. In the future, your achievements in the way of swordsmanship will definitely surpass mine, so you don't have to worship me as your master."
Hearing this, the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass hurriedly shook its leaves and said anxiously: "No, no, no... Master, I have a strong feeling that only you can be my master in this world." There was an unquestionable firmness in its tone. After a pause, its words were full of arrogance, "Only you are worthy of being my master!"
Su Ning was speechless for a while, thinking to himself: This grass is really proud.
"Master, please accept me." The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass asked again sincerely, and its posture was like a child eager for knowledge, looking at Su Ning eagerly.
Su Ning thought about it, and a different emotion emerged in his heart. He looked at the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass and said slowly: "Forget it, maybe this is fate. Besides, I like you, so I will accept you as my first disciple, so what?"
"First disciple!" The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass trembled excitedly, and its leaves rustled, as if cheering. "Eldest disciple? Big Brother!" It repeated these words in its heart, and its joy was beyond words.
"Thank you, Master." The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass said excitedly, "Accept the nine bows from your disciple!" As it said that, its roots exerted a little force, and the whole body knelt on the ground like a kowtow, and each time was full of respect.
Su Ning looked at the scene in front of him, and his heart was full of emotion. He never thought that one day he would accept a grass as his disciple. But this grass is really different. Its talent and spirituality let Su Ning know that if it was placed in another world or the world of immortal cultivation, it would definitely be a peerless genius. Just now, it has shown extraordinary potential, "A blade of grass... cuts off the sun, moon and stars!" Su Ning whispered softly. He knew that this was not just an empty talk. This Nine-Leaf Sword Grass might really have such ability.
"You become my disciple, so I should prepare a generous gift for you, but I don't have anything good to give you... I know very little about the way of swordsmanship." Su Ning said helplessly.
Hearing this, the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass secretly complained in his heart: Master, you are being modest, you know? The small ginseng, cabbage and other small spiritual creatures around him also looked at Su Ning in a daze. They all thought that Su Ning was being modest. With the understanding of the way of swordsmanship that Su Ning had just shown, how could he say that he knew very little?
However, Su Ning really felt that he didn't know much about the way of swordsmanship. He thought in his heart, why not... practice "Lanting Collection Preface" for them! Try to refine the swordsmanship in martial arts novels? For example, Dugu Jiujian, Pixie Sword Manual and the like, maybe it can help the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass.
"How about this..." Su Ning seemed to have made up his mind, "I'll give you something, I hope it's useful to you." After saying that, he turned and walked into the room, and soon, he took something out.
[Lanting Xu! ]
Su Ning opened the volume of Lanting Xu, and in an instant, a simple and majestic feeling came over him, as if it carried a thousand years of historical precipitation and cultural charm.
"What... is this?" The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass looked at the words in Su Ning's hand in amazement, staring at them, with shock in its eyes.
These words, every stroke has a unique charm, everyThe characters are like living things, arrogant and unruly, yet strong and powerful! They are like peerless masters, with their own personality and momentum. Every stroke is like a move, a sword, and a knife, full of power and agility. More importantly, not only are the individual characters arrogant and powerful, but the combination between the characters is exquisite, natural, and harmonious in structure. There is a very smooth feeling between them, as if each character is independent, but also as if they are interconnected and closely intertwined, more like an indivisible whole, making it difficult to distinguish one from another.
"This Lanting Preface is a painting I like very much... It was given by an old man, and his calligraphy attainments are better than many masters in the world today." Suning gently unfolded the scroll and said slowly, "I have always believed that calligraphy is like a sword... Painting is like a field... I hope you can gain some insights."
This Lanting Preface was written by Jiang Xiaotao's father. Suning still remembers the scene when he first went to Jiang Xiaotao's house. At that time, he gave Jiang Xiaotao's father 20,000 yuan in return for this calligraphy.
In the long history of calligraphy, the original copy of Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Xu" has been lost, which has become a regret for all ages. However, during the Tang Dynasty, the Tang people were extremely obsessed with Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, and many calligraphers were keen on copying Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. They continued to study and imitate, so that in the end, some masters copied the "Lanting Xu", which was actually not much different from the original in appearance. The charm of watching these copied characters is almost the same as that of the original post. Of course, this is only a high level in copying, not to say that the overall level of these calligraphers has reached the level of Wang Xizhi. If they were allowed to break away from Wang Xizhi's template and create their own works, let alone compare with Wang Xizhi, they would not be able to carry shoes for some contemporary masters.
Moreover, when Jiang Dad wrote this calligraphy, he was in excellent condition. While copying Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, he not only fully demonstrated the charm of Wang Xizhi's characters, but also integrated his perception of life into the lines. The words are like the characters. From this calligraphy, we can feel the state of mind and thoughts of Father Jiang. In fact, this Lanting Preface has a unique charm. It is not just a calligraphy work, but more like an expression of the soul.
This is why Suning can't put it down. In a person's life, there are always a few moments of inspiration, just like suddenly opening up. At that moment, you can reach the state of unity between man and nature. Whether writing or doing other things, you can reach the peak state. However, this state is often fleeting. After that period of time, you can no longer find that feeling and can no longer create such excellent works. Father Jiang also said that this is the most satisfying and best word he has ever written in his life. Even if he is asked to write it again, he will definitely not be able to write it so well, and he may not even be able to use one tenth or one hundredth of his skills. This is... entering the Tao! This does not mean that Father Jiang has written better than Wang Xizhi. It can only be said that in this word, he found his own way and walked out of his own unique path.
Suning gave the words to the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, hoping that it could get inspiration from the words, find its own way to the sword, enter the way, and make further progress in the practice of the sword. He believed that with the spirituality of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, it would definitely be able to comprehend something unique from the "Lanting Preface".
Suning gently stroked the "Lanting Preface" and said to the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass: "This word contains a spirit, a pursuit of perfection and an expression of self. When you practice the sword, you can also integrate your understanding and feelings into it like this, so that your sword will be more profound."
The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass nodded slightly. Although it was a grass, it was like a humble student at this moment. It could feel the extraordinaryness of the words and understood the good intentions of the master. It shook its leaves, as if to express gratitude to Suning, and at the same time carefully observed every word in the "Lanting Preface", trying to draw inspiration from the sword.
The little people around also gathered around, looking at the "Lanting Preface" with curiosity in their eyes. Although they don't have a deep understanding of kendo like the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, they can also feel the powerful power and unique charm contained in this calligraphy. The little ginseng curiously touched the scroll with its whiskers, the little cabbage stared with wide eyes and watched quietly, and even the naughty little radish became quiet. They were all attracted by this magical "Lanting Preface".
Suning looked at these cute little spirits, and his heart was full of warmth. He knew that in this wonderful world, every life has infinite possibilities, and he and these little spiritsThe encounter is also a special fate. He hopes that they can find their own direction on their own growth path and bloom their own brilliance, just like this potential-filled Nine-Leaf Sword Grass.
"You must keep this calligraphy well and observe it often. Maybe one day, you will understand a new realm of swordsmanship from it." Suning told the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass.
Rebirth in despair...
This is what Suning feels most about this calligraphy.
"Yes, Master, I will cherish it." The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass replied respectfully. It knows that this calligraphy is not only a gift for it, but also a key to open a higher level of swordsmanship. It is determined to live up to the expectations of the master and go further and further on the road of swordsmanship.
At this time, the sun shines on this magical vegetable garden, and the "Lanting Collection Preface" emits a soft light in the sun. Li Qingxuan... Nine-Leaf Sword Grass and others are surrounded by the huge calligraphy... observing and understanding.
