The most taboo thing for practitioners is to be seen through by others.

Others think this is your unique skill, but in fact it is just a method of trial during your growth.

This is very good.

The Seven Swords of the Void are an excellent choice at this stage.

After Tiantien has made a knife, Luang Po will definitely start to teach himself some sword techniques. During this period, he should also chase the progress of the Seven Swords of the Void.

Just that day, he saw Duan Hongxing’s Drunk Fairy Sword, and he was also inspired.

...

early morning.

Before Pei Yunqiu appeared in front of Gu Liubai, Li Xizhi appeared.

Li Xizhi knew that there was no need to be polite in front of Gu Liubai, so he bowed and said softly, "The things that the lady brought in the lunch box may be a bit unpalatable, but don't just say that it's unpalatable."

Gu Liubai was stunned, "Why did she give me something unpalatable?"

Li Xizhi said: "Because she did it himself."

"Have she made breakfast for me with her own hands?" Gu Liubai looked at Li Xizhi's solemn look and couldn't help laughing, "It's okay, I can't kill me."

"She probably never thought of making soup with her own hands, and she wouldn't think of ways to make pastries that were very complicated." Li Xizhi looked at Gu Liubai who was laughing and frowned slightly, "But I came to you specifically, not just for her to make breakfast for you, but because your words and deeds now will have a profound impact on her choices. You should know the weight you are in her mind now."

Gu Liubai nodded, "What the hell are you doing?"

Li Xizhi said seriously: "The shadow of her father gave her is actually very meaningful."

Gu Liubai said calmly: "What is the purpose?"

Li Xizhi said, "Be enterprising, charge forward, and dare to fight in close combat."

"Oh." Gu Liubai responded.

Hearing Gu Liubai's response, Li Xizhi frowned a little deeper, "Although the sword you gave her last night was beautiful, the sword energy condensed, but it can block the opponent's attack like a shield, which is not conducive to sharpening her sword skills and will. You are destined to become a great sword master. Naturally, you know that if you are used to using this sword energy to defend, you will naturally not strive for excellence, and you will not pursue the use of the tip or sword body to defend..."

"I understand what you mean."

Gu Liubai suddenly smiled faintly. He said slowly in the brighter and brighter skylight, "I don't want her to charge in front of me, and I don't want her to fight in close combat."

Li Xizhi was stunned and his face was slightly dark.

"Don't tell me the stupid words that she doesn't need to do, but she must have this ability." Gu Liubai said with a slightly cold voice, "Why do you think Duke Pei's idea is right?"

Li Xizhi took a deep breath, shook her head, and said, "I don't think that Duke Pei's idea must be correct. I just feel that without hardening, I can't become talented. The more she is, the more she can protect herself."

Gu Liubai said calmly: "The Pei family is all martial, so she must be a powerful martial artist? Since that's the case, why not give her sister Ying Qing, and not let her sister charge forward and fight in close combat? Think about it, isn't it because her sister is of the right age, and can become a bargaining chip for the Pei family to exchange for favor as soon as possible?"

Li Xizhi took a deep breath again, and his face turned pale.

The education he accepted made it impossible for him to make such speculation in his heart, but he could not refute what Gu Liubai said was unreasonable.

Gu Liubai turned his head and looked at him, and said sarcastically: "I'll ask you again, do you think she has a super talent in kendo and is born to be a master of cultivation? Is she much better than you?"

Li Xizhi was speechless.

"If the most suitable thing for her is not the charge ahead, why do you have to be in front?"

Gu Liubai said calmly, "In Heishawa, if Xu Tui is in front of me, I don't need me to die. If I am in front of her, I don't need her to fight to the death."

"She may not be as good as the fifth prince and me in terms of overall situations, but she analyzes the current situation and plans for small things, but few people can compare to her. If she is a very suitable military advisor, then I will block her behind me, and I don't need her to fight to the death."

"Li Xizhi, you are a good person. Since you chose her between the Pei family and her, you sometimes have to listen to my opinions. If you decide to protect her, if you feel that you are superior to her in terms of talent in cultivation, the best way is to work harder and you can reach the eighth level, which is better than her practicing the little bit of swordsmanship."

"A young man like me, without the rushing mountains and the old lady Zou, how strong can I be? "

"Don't say that I am destined to be a strong man in the eighth grade. It is an extremely distant future. There is another meaning in the future. It is very likely that I will never come."

"My mother is much better than Duke Pei, but she did not ask me to become any kind of person. Even now, He Huoluo has not told me about her affairs. She just doesn't want to influence my choices because of her identity. Why did Duke Pei want her to be the one who charges and shelters the Pei family from the wind and rain?"

"Li Xizhi, you said, I am so important in her mind. Then let me tell you that like Zhou Lu'er, she is naturally extremely important in my mind. When there is a storm, I will naturally be in front of her."

"Since that sword is fun, she looks happy, so that makes her happy."

...

Pei Yunqi, carrying the food box, changed into plain girl's clothes again.

She looks beautiful like a cloud in the sky.

She stood quietly behind the corner of the wall.

Her eyes were a little red, and her hands holding the lunch box were shaking slightly.

She had arrived when Li Xizhi mentioned the sword.

She heard the conversation between Gu Liubai and Li Xizhi.

The first time she was not angry that others said that her cultivation talent was not particularly proud.

She just echoed in her mind, and when the storm comes, I will naturally be in front of her.

She stood tall for a long time, and made sure there was nothing strange in the corner of her eyes. Then she smiled and strode out, looking at Gu Liubai from a distance and said, "Bastard, come and try this girl's good skills. Make sure you taste so delicious that you even want to swallow your tongue."

Gu Liubai looked at death and went forward, "Let me eat and see."

He just opened the food box and took a piece of pastry and took a bite. His eyes lit up, "How could it be so delicious?"

"Really or not?"

Li Xizhi couldn't believe his eyes. He instantly rolled half of the pastry in the lunch box like a wind swaying in the wind.

"Give me a piece."

Is the second lady not as talented as hers for cultivation, but her cooking skills are geniuses? He quickly took action, grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. He just chewed it, and his forehead was buzzing and sweating on the back of his head.

What's wrong with this sweet throat and a sour smell?

Gu Shiwu ate so quickly, it turns out that it is better to have short pain than long pain?

Seeing Li Xizhi pause suddenly, Pei Yunqi frowned slightly and said, "What's wrong?"

Li Xizhi sighed, "How can there be such a beautiful thing in the world? I have never eaten such delicious food in Chang'an. Second Miss, you must make more when you have time. I think you can eat it often."

He also steadily grasped Pei Yunqi's rebellion. When he said this, Pei Yunqi immediately snorted coldly, "Be your dream of spring and autumn, do you think this lady is your cook? No matter how delicious you are, you have nothing to eat."

...

After breakfast, Duan Zhuowei was invited to the backyard.

Duan Zhuowei was a little restrained at the beginning.

But Gu Liubai looked natural, just like when he was hunting deer with them at the beginning, he also felt relieved.

"A senior gave you and Wei Yu a method."

When Duan Zhuwei sat down, Gu Liubai smiled and said, "People like her will not make choices at will. Since she chose you two, there must be something she likes about you two."

Duan Zhuo smiled embarrassedly, and then said seriously: "At first, I just felt that it was influenced by Wei Yu."

Gu Liubai said, "Do you think Zhou Lu'er is useful?"

Duan Zhuowei thought about the recent rumors and felt a stern in his heart, saying, "Of course it is useful."

Gu Liubai smiled and said, "In the battle of Heishawa, one person was more useful than a hundred commissars, but before that, when the old border troops saw him, they only thought he was a useless stupid boy."

Through the relationship between Pei Yunqi and Gu Liubai, these children of Youzhou family have long guessed that Gu Liubai was the main person involved in the Battle of Heishawa. Although Hua Cangming has been keeping his mouth shut, they even suspected that Gu Liubai had green eyes. However, after so many days, Gu Liubai's eyes have never been green. In addition, the green eyes are too legendary, which leads them to guess in another direction that Gu Liubai might be the brother of the green eyes, and he is almost the same anyway.

Duan Zhuowei had already thought it clearly, and then listened to his metaphor, his heart moved and said, "You already know what I am doing?"

"You probably have convinced you at home." Gu Liubai nodded and said, "I heard that you are buying some old bookstores and talking to some collectors who like to collect ancient books. I don't know what you have in detail."

"Actually, the teaching at Songxi Academy gave me a lot of inspiration. The next day I had some ideas and went to visit Mrs. Zou through Hua Linyi. Although I only listened to some interesting stories about her running schools, I still thought of some truths." Duan Zhuo glanced at Gu Liubai and said seriously: "The Tang Dynasty regarded martial arts as the most respected. I heard that even in the court ginseng in the Chang'an Palace, the momentum of military officers was overwhelming civil officials. The family was in power. Children of remote counties like us were all poor families in Chang'an. Those real poor students, especially those who were not warriors, had no chance to show their skills on the stage of the empire."

Gu Liubai knew that Duan Zhuowei needed some encouragement, so he calmly said: "That's true."

Duan Zhuo calmed down and said, "The biggest problem now is that reading is useless. Practicing martial arts and fighting in battles is the best way to gain fame in the Tang Dynasty. But some of the words of Mrs. Zou made me realize that most young people in my Tang Dynasty do not have the conditions for practicing martial arts at all. Not to mention the talent required for practice, they do not practice the true qi method, but only practice some martial arts that temper the body and are familiar with swords, guns, sticks and tricks. We do not have any advantages compared to the Tubo people and the Turks. We farm, they nomadic robbery, and most of our poor children just barely eat enough, and do not have enough meat to eat. They do not have the potential of natural martial artists in terms of flesh and blood strength and riding and shooting skills. Fortunately, I have many people in the Tang Dynasty. There are always a few powerful martial artists or practitioners out of a hundred people, but a large number of them are actually very suitable for reading."

Gu Liubai listened very seriously and said, "When you first named the useless theory of reading, do you want to start from this aspect?

Duan Zhuo nodded slightly and said, "Warriors can gain fame and honor, and can support their families. If they study, they can support their families enough, and they will gradually reverse the fixed thinking of studying in remote prefectures and counties. In recent years, the Zou family has invested a lot in two academies, allowing many students to earn income through the college, and gradually reversal of many people's concepts, and allowing more talented people to have the opportunity to study. I will not only buy these old bookstores, but also buy shops that operate calligraphy and paintings. I want to hold more poetry meetings, which will subtly make people in many prefectures and counties feel like they are.

Swords are just as elegant. Appreciating calligraphy and paintings, poetry and books, collecting ancient books, and studying the inner learning is also very elegant. Through these means, calligraphy, painting, ancient books, etc. can be sold at a higher price. At that time, scholars who are proficient in this art and scholars who work in these links can achieve good results. At the same time, I can also get more help from talents. Brother Ningxi, you can get a lot of information through the practitioners or the military, and I thought that you can do many useful things through the literary context of scholars."

"This is probably not five or ten years of hard work." Gu Liubai looked at Duan Zhuwei with some emotion, "Maybe like Mrs. Zou, it will be a lifelong thing."

Duan Zhuo smiled slightly and said, "I have made up my mind."

Gu Liubai said calmly: "The old lady is a person with great wisdom... If you want to achieve great things, you not only need to have perseverance, but also need to judge the situation and follow the trend. The emperor wants to fight with the family. In recent years, there have been signs of promoting Confucianism and Taoism. The general trend has been achieved. Next, you only need to guess the emperor's wishes at all times. This thing should be done. I agree with most of what you said, but before the general trend is achieved, planting all states and regions may not be able to smoothly and subtly influence them. It makes people feel that what you said is elegant. Now that the general trend is complete, the emperor only needs to make a little statement and use Chang'an to drive the states and regions, which will achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Duan Zhuowei suddenly realized, "This method is used directly in Chang'an to open a school similar to Songxi Academy and Qianxin Academy."

"Under the emperor's feet, poor families benefit and are more likely to be seen by the emperor." Gu Liubai smiled, "Pei Yunqi and I went to Chang'an, and the fifth prince was working hard on it. To make some things as elegant as swords, it would be much easier to do. We use this cornerstone to fight with those families, and we will also have the help of Li. This kind of thing will be beneficial to your ambitions and my planning. If you can stand on a high place from the beginning, don't think about working silently in the low place."

...

When Yin Shiniang walked into the backyard, Duan Zhuwei happened to leave.

Gu Liubai looked at Duan Zhuowei's departure and couldn't help but sigh again.

Time is endless.
