C10 Ten Steps Wind Riding

The wind on the mountain carried a trace of warmth unique to summer. Unconsciously, it made people sweat all over. This year's summer seemed to come especially early. It was only April now, and it was already unbearably hot.

And the truth was just as Xiao Yue had expected. In the following days, Guxing risked his life and did not stop for a moment. This tenacity had long surpassed that of ordinary children and even martial artists. Even someone as high as Xiao Yue couldn't help but say, "Okay!"

Days passed just like that. Guxing remembered clearly. This was already the 35th day of his footwork cultivation. In these 35 days, Even though he was sleeping, he didn't stay idle. The tip of his feet had almost been grinded by a sharp stone. Of course, there was a reward for his efforts. Now, he tried to concentrate his inner energy on the tip of his feet. It was almost as if he only needed a thought to do it.

"It seems like it is still not as good as what Ms Yue said. No, I still need to work harder. "

Guxing secretly encouraged himself and was just about to exit the hole when he heard Xiao Yue say: "Silly, you have been practicing for a month. Have you felt anything?"

"Feel? What feeling?"

"Oh? Do you think that you can master this footwork just by running like you did?"

Xiao Yue turned around and said with a serious face: "I can tell you very responsibly, you are not even at the beginner level yet. "

When Guxing heard this, he immediately became silent. When Xiao Yue saw him like this, she thought that he had given up on himself and quickly comforted him. "But don't be discouraged, you have done very well. . . "

"Haha. . . "

Before he could finish, Guxing suddenly looked up and laughed loudly. His laughter was unclear, but the burning look in his eyes made Xiao Yue confused.

"Who said I'm disappointed? If this footwork is really what I thought it would be, then I would be disappointed. And now, isn't it good? The higher the difficulty, the more extraordinary it is. Isn't this what I want? "

Xiao Yue was stunned. She could not tell what she was feeling. She thought that she already knew this fool very well, but she still underestimated him. Thinking of this, she said in a daze, "I really don't know what kind of old man he is. Only someone like you who doesn't admit defeat can be taught. If he knew about it underground, I'll definitely be able to rest in peace. "

How could Guxing not know what Xiao Yue was truly lamenting about, but he just smiled and said: "I don't know if grandpa will be happy for me, but as long as I know that grandpa has always been full of admiration, it is enough!"

"Mm, just like you, I am full of admiration for that old man, so I think that you, who he has poured all his hopes into, will never give up so easily. "

"Of course not!" Guxing said with a firm expression.

"That's good. "

Xiaoyue paused for a second and continued, "For the past month, I have seen your performance. You have indeed worked very hard. However, hard work is far from enough. There are many people who work hard in this world. However, not everyone can walk forward forcefully, and want to walk all the way to the end with a smile. However, hard work and comprehension couldn't be lacking either. Cultivate it well. If one worked hard, it still wouldn't work. He still had to comprehend. Not only did he have to understand. . . Can you do it? "

Guxing was not in a hurry to reply. Instead, he clenched his fists tightly and said in a serious manner: "When grandpa was here, he always told me that many things only have one result, but after trying, the result might change. I haven't reached the point where I can only see one result, so there's no reason that I can't do it. "

Xiao Yue quietly listened to his words, but didn't say anything. She just looked at the distant sky in a daze, but her eyes were filled with emptiness that even she couldn't understand. No one knew what she was thinking, and Guxing couldn't guess either. However, he did not ask. He vaguely felt that. . . Ms Yue in front of him had a story. Her heart might not be as happy as her appearance.

Grandpa had said that the more people hid, the deeper they were hurt. Hiding was just an instinct for them to protect themselves.

In the past, he didn't understand what his grandpa meant, but now, he seemed to understand, but he was even more confused. He was not a person who liked to dig up other people's privacy, especially when his target was Ms Yue. Therefore, he chose to be silent and quietly stood by the side to accompany her.

When the sunlight finally passed through the shade, Xiao Yue also recovered her senses, but in an instant, she disappeared, leaving only a sentence that Guxing could not understand.

"Coming like the wind, going like the wind, after all, it's not the wind. If the wind is blown by borrowing the wind, then the wind will fall without a sound. "

Guxing repeated the same incantation Ms Yue left behind before she left, but it was not the incantation. He could not figure out why he did not ask again. It was because he knew that the answer was in this sentence. Everything was just as Xiao Yue had said. It was not enough to practice the skill by working hard. The key was still the word comprehension.

He sat up straight, but his mind was working rapidly. "Since it's called Wind Riding, Should I borrow the power of the wind to cultivate, but why do I say it's not wind? If it's not wind, then what is it? Borrowing wind? Riding the wind? Riding the wind, borrowing the wind. . . "

Guxing repeatedly pondered over these few questions. He felt as if something was about to take shape in his mind.

"Wait. Does this mean that we need to borrow the power of the wind to cultivate? It's not wind after all. It means that I can't really be like the wind. "

"Why can't we be like the wind?"

Guxing sat on the ground, puzzled. "The wind is invisible and traceless, without roots and source. Isn't it good to be like the wind? Could it be that there is a limit to the wind?"

Right at this moment, a gentle breeze blew over, bringing along a few leaves that floated in front of Guxing's eyes.

Suddenly Guxing slapped his thigh and said, "Oh right, that's right. The wind will always stop, but once the wind stops, it will no longer be able to continue to ride the wind. That's why. . . "

"So we can't let the wind stop, but where can we find the wind that won't stop?"

"It won't stop, it won't stop. . . "

Suddenly, Guxing seemed to have thought of something. . .

"Grandpa, grandpa, why would the wind blow when you are fine?"

"Because there are too many dirty things in this world. So someone blew them away. "

"[There is so much dust in this world, Then why didn't he keep blowing, Why did he stop?"

"Silly child, no matter how long you breathe, it will stop when you are done blowing. When you are done blowing, the wind will naturally stop. "

. . .

"No matter how long you breathe, there will still be a time when you are done blowing. . . "

Guxing muttered the words that the old man had said. His eyes were slightly red. "Grandfather, I understand. "

"Whether it's wind or not, it's just the flow of air. When the surrounding air is chaotic, there will be wind. "

Thinking of this, Guxing could not help feeling a little emotional. "When you don't understand it, you feel that you won't understand it no matter what. But once you understand it, you can understand it. The truth is always so willing to be ordinary. That's why it makes people miss it time and time again. "

After that, he shook his head with a bitter smile. "Seriously, why do you think so much for no reason?"

"The wind is traceless, but this wind can deviate according to the trajectory of the force. So as long as I take the first step, I can borrow the force of the first step to take the second step, and so on, and so on, the third step. . . "

As he spoke, he moved his feet and took a step. "

" No, it's too slow. Again! "

"I didn't catch up again. I have to be faster!"

"No, come again!"

"Come again!"

. . .

Just like that, Guxing kept repeating the same action. Two times.

Finally! After repeating to the fifteenth time, he finally succeeded in taking the second step, and then the third step. The fourth step. . .

After an unknown amount of time, when the surroundings had turned dark, Guxing finally stopped in his tracks.

"It's almost time to take the tenth step. . . "

Guxing rubbed his ankle, which looked unusually pale due to exhaustion, and said with a bit of powerlessness. "As expected, no matter how clear the theory is, it is not possible for the body to not be able to keep up. "

After saying that, he fell headfirst to the ground. He no longer had any strength left, and the only thing left around him was his weak breathing.

On a tree branch not far from him, a graceful figure had been watching all of this from the beginning until the end. It was only when Guxing fell to the ground that she slowly lowered her eyes and said in a surprised tone: "Is it already the tenth step? This fool. . . "

Then, there was no sound. He lay on the tree as if he had fallen asleep.
