Chapter 2140 Shi 7, who is kind to others, is truly invincible!
After saying a few words to Chen Changsheng, Shi Qi immediately started kneading dough and boiling water.
Looking at Shi Qi who was busy, Chen Changsheng said nothing, but just watched him quietly.
When a steaming bowl of noodles was handed to Chen Changsheng, Shi Qi started preparing stewed meat again.
"Grandpa, this stewed meat might take a while to cook. Why don't you have some noodles first?"
"When I'm stewing the meat later, I'll go up the mountain over there and pick some fruit for you."
"The fruits on that mountain are big and sweet; you'll definitely like them."
Looking at Shi Qi, who was talking to himself, and then at the steaming noodles in the bowl, Chen Changsheng spoke up.
"Young man, you're so kind to me, aren't you afraid I'm lying to you?"
"I know you're lying to me."
"How did you know?"
Chen Changsheng asked curiously, and Shi Qi, who was sprinkling seasonings into the pot, replied with a smile.
“I know everyone from the surrounding villages, but I’ve never met you before.”
"Besides, there haven't been any disasters in recent years, so how could you, sir, have fallen into such a state of destitution?"
"Besides, if you're begging for food, you beg in the village, not in the wilderness!"
Upon receiving this answer, Chen Changsheng became somewhat interested.
"Since you know I'm lying to you, why are you still giving me these things to eat?"
When faced with this question, Shi Qi smiled and said, "To lie means to lose your dignity."
"You must have your reasons for doing this."
"Besides, you didn't cheat me out of my gold or silver, you just asked me for some food."
“My dad always said that if you can help someone with something that’s even a small favor, you should.”
Listening to Shi Qi's words, Chen Changsheng suddenly felt that he was exuding a special aura.
It is a belief that holds goodwill toward all things in the world.
Such a belief is like a spring breeze, like a bright moon.
Sensing the changes in Shi Qi, Chen Changsheng smiled faintly, then began to eat the noodles in his bowl with gusto.
The soup was bubbling, and the fragrant steam wafted into Chen Changsheng's nose.
Eating the wild fruits picked by Shi Qi, all the troubles in the world vanished at that moment.
"Young man, do you have any family members left?"
"They're all dead. When I was six, the village suffered a disaster. If I hadn't met my master, I probably would have died too."
"And what about your master?"
"he's gone."
"why?"
"I don't know, maybe they think I'm stupid."
At this point, Shi Qi's mood became somewhat downcast.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng asked, "What did your master teach you?"
"He made me memorize a lot of complicated books and practice a lot of difficult sword techniques."
"However, I'm not very smart, and I just can't learn those sword techniques. I can't even master the simplest ones."
Upon receiving this answer, Chen Changsheng took a bite of the fruit and said.
"Since you treated me to food, how about I see how good your swordsmanship is?"
"Perhaps I can help you learn swordsmanship."
Upon hearing this, Shi Qi's eyes instantly brightened.
"Old man, do you also know swordsmanship?"
"I know a little bit. When I was young, I taught a few people, and they were quite well-known in the surrounding villages."
"Okay, I'll practice for you right away."
As he spoke, Shi Qi was about to get up and demonstrate his sword moves, but Chen Changsheng reached out and stopped him.
"Don't rush. Before you start practicing your sword, I have a question for you."
"Please tell me, sir."
Why do you practice swordsmanship?
"My master told me to practice, so I practiced!"
Upon hearing Shi Qi's answer, Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "That won't do. If you want to master the sword, you need to understand why you're practicing it."
"It's like needing a goal to do something."
"How can you possibly do anything well if you don't even have a goal?"
In response to Chen Changsheng's words, Shi Qi thought for a moment and said, "Then I know my goal."
"My purpose in practicing swordsmanship is to bring my master back. When my swordsmanship becomes invincible, my master will definitely come back."
"Then what constitutes being invincible?"
"If you have no enemies in the world, then you are invincible, aren't you?"
Shi Qi said something seriously, and Chen Changsheng smiled happily.
"Your answer is very interesting. I can't wait to see your swordsmanship."
"No problem, I'll practice and show you right away."
As he spoke, Shi Qi drew the wooden sword from his back and began to brandish it in front of Chen Changsheng.
Although it was just simple basic swordsmanship, Shi Qi practiced it very seriously.
Chen Changsheng, who was watching from the side, also observed Shi Qi's swordsmanship very carefully.
Unfortunately, no matter how Chen Changsheng looked at Shi Qi's swordsmanship, he could not discover its secrets.
To put it simply, Shi Qi's swordsmanship was extremely poor.
This level of skill is definitely not what one would expect from someone who has been taught by a top swordsman of the Dan Era for eighteen years.
Let alone a disciple of a top-tier swordsman, even if you just randomly find a child with some talent to learn this basic swordsmanship, the results would be better than what Shi Qi is doing now.
After a basic sword technique demonstration was completed quickly, Shi Qi looked at Chen Changsheng with some trepidation and asked.
"Old man, how is my swordsmanship?"
"It's so-so, but better than what you just practiced on the hillside."
"really?"
Hearing this, Shi Qi's eyes were filled with joy.
"Of course it's true."
"That's great! As long as I improve a little bit every day, I will catch up with my master one day."
Looking at the confident Shi Qi, Chen Changsheng asked, "Did you make the wooden sword in your hand yourself?"
"This was given to me by my master."
He said I'm not qualified to use a real sword yet, and that I can only use a real sword when my swordsmanship is fully mastered.
Upon receiving this answer, Chen Changsheng nodded thoughtfully.
"Your master must be an extremely powerful swordsman to say something like that."
"Can I take a look at this wooden sword you're holding?"
"can!"
Shi Qi handed the wooden sword to Chen Changsheng with both hands.
As Chen Changsheng gently stroked the incredibly smooth wooden blade of the sword with his right hand, he could feel the owner's love for the sword.
If one didn't love this sword, its blade wouldn't be as smooth as jade.
"Indeed, it is a peerless sword."
Hearing this, Shi Qi smiled and said, "Old man, I know you're trying to comfort me, but this is just an ordinary wooden sword. How could it possibly be a peerless sword?"
"You say it's not a peerless sword? How about I trade you other treasures for it?"
"No."
"why?"
"Because this sword has a special meaning for me."
“That’s true,” Chen Changsheng nodded slightly and said, “The gifts from elders are indeed better than anything else in the world.”
"But the only drawback is that this sword is missing something."
"what?"
"Sword sheath!"
