Chapter 157 Joy and Gold

Ai Xin shook his body, stood up with a fierce look in his eyes, and shouted: "How do you know!" When he spoke, a large golden light faintly appeared behind his back, which seemed to be in the shape of a gold ingot, but the next moment, the gold collapsed and the gold ingot It turned into a little bit of golden powder, like countless golden mosquitoes flying around.

The swordsmith said: "I am a swordsmith, so I naturally know. The meaning of the sword is joy, and the sword image is like a gold ingot. So your sword is called—"

Ai Xin swallowed, and said, "The Gathering Sword. I got this sword and wanted to gather all the treasures in the world."

At this moment, he already somewhat believed that the swordsmith was so miraculous that he could tell the meaning and image of a sword just by looking at it.What you can't do by yourself may not be able to be done by the best in the world.

Swordsmith, really tall.

You must know that even the elder brother can't accurately know his own sword intent, and the swordsmith is even better than the master of Baixiong Mountain in this respect.

The swordsmith let go of his sword, turned his body slightly, put his hands on his cheeks, and said with a relaxed expression, "Very well, it's fine if you want to talk. Relax, since I'm here, I'm here to solve your problem , you even cover up the question, how can you untie this knot?"

Ai Xin stared at this too young face, and gradually relaxed, the red tide in her eyes faded slightly.Thinking about it carefully, what I am looking for is the most expensive swordsmith, and his reputation is not bad. The performance of this young swordsmith just now is not bad. Seeing this calm demeanor, coupled with his ability, I was saved.

The swordsmith said: "The problem between the swordsman and the sword is mostly because of the problem with the swordsman. Because the swordsman is human, and people are always fickle. The swordsman who was selected for the sword at the beginning may not necessarily be the swordsman who grew up later. But sometimes, hidden dangers exist from the very beginning, and a breakup is inevitable. How much did you adapt to this sword at the beginning?"

Ai Xin said: "Eighty percent."

The swordsmith showed a slight surprise, and said, "It's not low. Were you a beaming person back then?"

Ai Xin said: "It's not——I was still a young man at that time, and I didn't understand anything. I listened to what the elder brother said. At that time, the elder brother got the sword and called everyone together, saying that everyone should try it. , Whoever picks it up will give fifty taels of gold."

The swordsmith nodded and said: "You must have been very happy when you heard the gold." His voice was soft and distant, as if it could bring people into memories.

Ai Xin closed her eyes and said, "At that time, I had never seen gold. But I knew that gold and silver were good things. With gold and silver, I would not go hungry. I could eat whatever I wanted and wear whatever I wanted. You can Buy a big house, marry a daughter-in-law, the old lady in the family is sick and has money to treat, and the younger sister does not have to be sold for money..."

When he said this, his tone was very excited, with a hint of joy in his excitement.

Although this joy is meager, it is very pure. I think he had much more than this joy at that time.

The swordsmith said: "I see, at least for you at that time, joy was gold."

Ai Xin didn't answer, and continued to say to himself: "I was full of longing, went up and drew the sword, swiped it, and pulled out the sword by an inch. At that time, everyone was shocked, and the elder brother laughed very happily. He immediately took out the gold ingot and threw it to I am holding the gold ingot, so golden and heavy, I have never been so happy..."

"I took the gold ingot and bought a big house at the foot of the mountain, one for me, one for my mother, one for my younger sister, and several more. I also bought a few acres of land, sowed seeds in spring, and grew grain in autumn... That autumn, my field had a good harvest. I saw the golden color of the rice, which was as beautiful as gold ingots. I was so happy. With a bang, the sword popped out, and a small gold ingot appeared on the sword. It was me. The sword elephant. I became a real swordsman then."

The swordsmith said slowly: "That's right, it only took one spring and one autumn to realize the sword. It took a year for the most intelligent person in the world to grow from a swordsman to a swordsman."

Ai Xin smiled proudly: "The elder brother also said the same thing. He has been using the sword for three years. He said that my future is limitless. It was so good at that time. I followed him around the rivers and lakes, and I took whatever I wanted. What, kill anyone who doesn’t like it, and take all his gold. Just like what my elder brother said, I only want to be happy when I’m alive. As long as I’m in a happy mood, my sword will be invincible.”

The swordsmith frowned imperceptibly, and said, "But you haven't always been happy."

Ai Xin said: "Yeah, I don't know when I was not so happy. No matter what I did before, as long as I finally got the gold, I was happy. When I was happy, I realized an extremely powerful swordsmanship. Big brother knows My fun, every time I go out to rob, I have cash. My gold is getting more and more, but later, I am not so happy when I see gold. I put the gold at home, pile it up into a hill, and put it on the bed .Paint gold paint on the beams and pillars of the house, and live in a golden house. But year after year, I still feel more and more unhappy."

"It doesn't matter if I'm unhappy. My elder brother often sighs and sighs, saying he's tired and scared, but my sword doesn't allow it. If I'm not happy, I can't realize new sword skills. Later, many old sword skills can't be used. In the end The gold ingots are all cracked, the sword can't be controlled, instead it stirs up from time to time, causing me to fall into chaos and I can't extricate myself... This damn sword!"

He suddenly yelled loudly, trembling, and shouted: "Why? Why is this broken sword so difficult? Only my joy can drive this sword? Others are not like this! Others' swords are good, very docile, very Obedient! There is nothing wrong with it! My sword is so tough? Who can be happy all the time? Even a fool can’t be happy all the time?! Encountering a strong enemy makes me happy, being in crisis makes me happy, how can I be happy? No Joy has been killing me, it's a cursed sword!"

He suddenly grabbed the swordsmith and shouted loudly: "Young master, help me! Help me subdue this magic sword!"

The swordsmith looked calm and said, "What do you mean, you still want to withdraw the sword?"

Ai Xin paused, and said: "No... I don't want to withdraw the sword, I want to be a swordsman! I want to go back to the way I was before, holding the sword, and the sword obeys me. I can control the sword naturally, and release sword skills easily , just like before!"

The swordsmith groaned slightly when he heard the words, pointed to the stool in front of him, and said, "Sit down."

Ai Xin was startled, and sat down involuntarily.

The swordsmith said: "Is your sword's heart still open with gold and stone?"

Ai Xin said "Huh?", it seems that she is not very familiar with the realm of Jianxin.

The swordsmith said: "For a sword heart like you, don't think about the sword intent. Let me tell you bluntly, the collapse of your sword image has nothing to do with the joyful sword intent. The sword intent is joy, and it doesn't mean that you always You must be happy. The state of mind where gold and stone are open means that you and Jianyi are only communicating briefly, and have not yet interacted with each other. You are required to keep the sword image intact and communicate smoothly."

Ai Xin couldn't hear it, and stared straight at the swordsmith.

The swordsmith said: "Let me speak more bluntly. You and Jianyi are two grasshoppers, and the sword elephant acts as a rope to tie you together. The problem you have now is not the ant on the opposite side. Grasshoppers want to fly, but your rope is about to rot. In other words, you can be happy when you see gold ingots, and gold ingots are the bridge between you and joy. But you can’t be happy when you see gold ingots, so You can't contact Jianyi anymore. Do you understand?"

Ai Xin was stunned for a moment, and said, "Is that so?"

The swordsmith said: "Exactly. In the final analysis, the sword image you chose was not good. It was not the sword image in your heart - you thought you loved gold ingots very much, but that was just your desire. That’s all. At that time, you lacked wealth and longed for money, but as long as your desire for wealth is satisfied, you no longer love gold ingot itself, and it can’t bring you joy. The so-called insatiable desire, you are still longing for other things now , They can still bring you joy, but your sword elephant is fixed to death by the gold ingot, and if you don’t love the gold ingot, you can’t get close to the sword intent, and it’s useless to be happy at other times.”

Ai Xin was silent for a long time, then suddenly slapped her thigh, and said: "So that's the case, damn it, it's the case! Then what should I do? Young master, help me!"

Before he knew it, he had completely convinced the swordsmith.

The swordsmith said: "There are two methods, one for the symptoms and one for the root cause."

Ai Xin said: "Please advise."

The swordsmith said: "The solution to the symptoms is to regain the love for money. Recall how happy I was when I got the gold ingot, and then convince myself that the gold ingot is the one I love most in my heart."

Ai Xin lowered his head to think about it, and gritted his teeth: "I don't want to—I'm tired of looking at those golds! Those gold ingots are piled up, not suitable for eating or drinking. Other brothers took gold and silver to go out to have fun, but I piled them all on the kang , as a stone to press the bed. They thought I was happy, but I was not happy a long time ago, I want to spend a lot of money, I want to be happy!"

The swordsmith said meaningfully: "I guess it was back then. When you thought of gold, you were happy, not because you liked gold itself, but because you wanted to eat and drink, buy a house and land, so you don't like gold more than ordinary people, but The desire has been concretized into gold. Then there is another way - to change to a sword elephant."

Ai Xin tremblingly said: "Can it be done?"

The swordsmith said: "It's just washing the sword - we swordsmiths can do it naturally. After washing the sword, the sword image is gone, just re-enlighten it again. What you enlightened at that time is not the same as your current state of mind. It has nothing to do with me. It's just that washing the sword is not cheap."

Ai Xin was overjoyed, and said: "It doesn't matter if it's more expensive! I didn't spend much of the money I robbed these years! It's all piled up in my hometown, piles of gold, if you can change me for a sword elephant, take it all. Give it all away Here you go!"

The swordsmith said: "I'll take them all. If you don't have gold, maybe your favorite thing is gold again. It's worthless."

Ai Xin laughed loudly, and said: "That's impossible! I want gold, and I can go out and rob as much as I want. What do you like about things that are easily available?"

The swordsmith snorted and said, "Then tell me, what can make you truly happy now?"

Ai Xin thought about it intently, and said, "Maybe it's... murder?"
