The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 99: Grandmaster's Heart
Time flies.

After returning from the brothel, Li Hao was kept in the mansion by Li Tiangang and was not allowed to run around.

For this reason, the father and son had a small argument, and finally they both took a step back. Li Hao agreed to stay in the mansion, but he would not interfere in anything.

Li Tiangang agreed.

Li Hao no longer painted all day long. Instead, except for playing chess with Fifth Master, he spent the rest of his time in Tingyu Tower.

While waiting for the Second Master to come back, he was flipping through these techniques.

There are so many books in Tingyu Tower that even if you just flip through them, you will have to read day and night for at least ten years to finish reading them all, let alone understanding them.

Li Hao originally selected some exercises to practice from high to low, and didn't look at the bottom much, but this time he started from the bottom.

With his comprehension of the sixth stage of the physical body, he should have been able to cross over to the realm of heaven and man, but he was stuck here.

Li Hao planned to comprehend the master's mind first.

But it is easier said than done.

What is a Grandmaster?

It means being able to establish one's own school and have one's own path.

No one can teach the guru how to do things, and no one can instruct the guru.

Even the Three Immortals would not work, because each grandmaster’s path is different. Although the realm of the Three Immortals is higher, they can only impart some of their own experience in promotion and cultivation, but cannot give exact instructions on how to do this or that.

Similarly, once you reach the level of a celestial master, you will have to walk the rest of the way by yourself, step by step.

There is no guidance on the skills, and no one can teach you. You can only learn from it, think about it, and comprehend it on your own.

"My own martial arts path..."

Li Hao sat in Tingyu Tower, holding a book on the basics of martial arts, his eyes flickering.

He asked the Second Master how to comprehend the Master's mind.

Erye mentioned three types. One is to gain experience in the world and find one's own martial arts heart through the cleansing of the world.

The second is walking on the edge of life and death, and under the pressure of the great terror between life and death, it stimulates a moment of enlightenment and thus takes one step into it.

The third method is relatively stable and depends on personal understanding, which is to find it from the most basic martial arts techniques.

Why is it the most basic exercise?
Because the higher the level of martial arts, the more mysterious it is, the most core origin is easily confused by the exquisiteness of the technique.

Like a stone.

If it is thrown on the ground, everyone will know that it is a stone, and thousands of people will despise it and trample on it at will.

But it is hard to say if it is placed on the table, especially in the Buddhist temple, where it will be cherished by the world and worshipped by thousands of people.

But in essence, it's all just a piece of stone.

At this moment, Li Hao was flipping through the General Principles of Martial Arts, which contained many martial arts, but they were just simply listed.

Swords, guns, sticks, fists, body movements...

Li Hao flipped through the books casually, without forcing himself to gain any kind of insight. He just wanted to kill time.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Hao read a lot of books in Tingyu Tower. In addition to martial arts, he also read about some strange people and interesting stories.

There are also many books inside, recording the life stories of many masters.

These masters have all kinds of paths and different styles of martial arts.

Some are vulgar schools, whose attacking moves are all despicable, such as popping eyeballs to attack the genitals, throwing poison and sprinkling sand, etc., the most insidious way is to use them, and they condense these insidious moves into a set of combos, which is a technique, to establish their own school.

There is also the hard-fighting style, which means being stubborn and fighting head-on, never being timid, and using every move with explosive power.

Others are body movement style, which focuses on lightness and agility.

For Li Hao, it is not difficult to create his own martial arts.

With his six-level understanding of kendo and boxing, it was easy for him to create his own boxing and sword techniques.

It is even possible to combine the two techniques.

But the technique worked, but the mind was not yet there.

Most people who enter the Grandmaster realm first set their mind, and then strengthen their skills according to the direction of their Grandmaster's mind.

But Li Hao is the opposite.

"Where is my heart...?"

Li Hao muttered to himself.

He has seen so many martial arts techniques that he is now a little overwhelmed.

Undecided.

……

On this day, Li Hao came to Tingyu Tower as usual.

But not long after he sat down, he was called back to Shanheyuan, saying that someone wanted to see him for something.

When Li Hao returned to the courtyard, he immediately saw that in the main hall, in addition to his father Li Tiangang sitting there, there was another young girl sitting opposite him.

The girl was talking to her father in the hall with her back facing outwards.

She was wearing a dark purple coat and exuded a mysterious aura, like a fragrant orchid.

Just the straight back can make people feel the vitality of youth.

At this moment, the two seemed to be talking about something. Father Li Tiangang's face was full of smiles and his eyes were gentle and loving.

When he reached the door, Li Hao thought of the rules he had been forced to learn this month. Instead of going directly into the house, he stood outside and called out.

Li Tiangang looked towards Li Hao. At the same time, the girl with her back facing outwards also turned around.

Her eyebrows were as dark as distant ink, her eyes were as clear as a stream, she had a delicate nose and white teeth, the hair on her little face seemed to glow slightly, and her skin was as white as jade.

Li Hao was stunned for a moment, then he opened his eyes wide.

"Xue'er?"

"Brother Hao."

The girl seemed to recognize Li Hao. All the past events came to her mind. She smiled brightly and called out crisply.

Li Hao was finally sure that the girl in front of him was the little girl he hadn't seen for eight years, the little tail following him.

He walked quickly forward and looked the other up and down in amazement. He hadn't seen her for eight years. The little girl who loved to cry had grown into a young girl.

Moreover, she has a beautiful face, as delicate as if it was molded by hand.

"It has grown so big." Li Hao couldn't help but say something lamenting.

The girl was Bian Ruxue. She stood up from her chair, her movements quite ladylike, and said with a smile: "Brother Hao, you have grown a lot taller too."

"That's for sure."

Li Hao smiled and said, "Why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back? Have you eaten yet? I'm telling you, my cooking skills are very good now. In a few months, I can make you a fat man!"

Bian Ruxue blushed slightly and said, "Brother Hao still likes to joke around."

"Who made you such a crybaby? I must tease you." "I'm not a puppy."

Li Hao laughed and then asked, "How was it, practicing swords over there, did anyone bully you?"

Bian Ruxue smiled and shook her head: "Master, my brothers and sisters are all very kind to me, no one bullies me."

"That's good."

"Brother Hao, how have you been these years?"

Bian Ruxue asked, staring at Li Hao.

Li Hao grinned and said, "Of course, you don't even look at who I am. I am the only one who bullies others. Who can bully me? I eat and drink every day. Don't be too happy."

Li Tiangang frowned slightly and sighed secretly when he heard this.

Bian Ruxue stared at Li Hao and whispered, "Brother Hao, stop joking."

Hearing this, Li Tiangang said with a slightly stern face: "Hao'er, be serious. Xue'er just came back, you are not allowed to bully her."

"Good good."

Li Hao smiled helplessly.

Bian Ruxue immediately turned to Li Tiangang and said, "Uncle, Brother Hao never bullies me."

Li Tiangang looked at her with a smile on his face and said:
"Xue'er, you are just too soft-hearted. Don't worry, I'm back now. If Hao'er dares to bully you, just come to me and I will take care of it for you."

"When your father entrusted you to me, I will definitely take good care of you and will never let you suffer any injustice in our Li family!"

"Thank you uncle."

Bian Ruxue smiled and bowed slightly to express her gratitude. Then, she looked at Li Hao in front of her, only to find that the smile on the other's face seemed to have suddenly faded a lot.

She didn't think much about it and said to Li Tiangang: "Uncle, I want to go out for a walk with Brother Hao and have a chat alone."

"Okay, you go."

Li Tiangang smiled and nodded.

Bian Ruxue bowed slightly again, and then said to Li Hao: "Brother Hao, let's go. I haven't been home for a long time. Can you accompany me for a walk outside?"

Li Hao nodded, then thought of something and turned to look at his father who was sitting above him: "Can I go out with Xue'er?"

Li Tiangang nodded and said, "I feel relieved that Xue'er is with you. Just spend the next few days with Xue'er and have fun."

Li Hao's mouth twitched, and he turned around, took Bian Ruxue's hand and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the city to have a look. There is no delicious food in Qingzhou City that I don't know."

The hand that was being held struggled slightly, as if suddenly frightened, but soon relaxed and allowed Li Hao to hold it.

After seeing the two of them leave, Li Tiangang sighed and said, "Although Hao'er has not been around us these years, he has lived a good life. It's a pity that no one disciplines him, and his temper is too wild."

Uncle Zhao opened his mouth slightly, then closed it again.

Li Tiangang's eyes softened and he said, "Fortunately, Xue'er is polite and sensible. With Xue'er accompanying him from now on, he can be restrained to some extent. I am relieved. This kid is lucky to find Xue'er."

……

After leaving the General's Mansion, Li Hao took the girl with him and walked straight towards the busy streets nearby.

"Brother Hao, I just found out that my uncle just came back not long ago."

Bian Ruxue was led by Li Hao, and she didn't struggle, but her cheeks were slightly red, and her eyes looked at Li Hao's profile from time to time: "After I left, have you been alone?"

Li Hao smiled and said, "Silly girl, why are you still as silly as when you were little? Shanhe Courtyard is so big, with so many servants and maids, how can I be alone?"

"It's different with servants and maids. Brother Hao won't tell them his true feelings." Bian Ruxue said.

"Then don't say it." Li Hao said with a smile.

Bian Ruxue was silent for a moment, and said, "Will it be uncomfortable if I don't say it?"

"got used to."

Li Hao brought Bian Ruxue to a candy painting stall: "Want some candy?"

Bian Ruxue glanced at him and shook her head slightly: "Brother Hao, I have grown up."

"You're already grown up at the age of fourteen, so wouldn't you be old when you're twenty?"

Seeing that the other party didn't like candy, Li Hao took her for a walk.

I found a toy stall on the way and bought her an iron frog. With a light press, the frog would bounce forward continuously. It was a product of the Qianji Sect.

The two chatted as they walked around. Li Hao asked about the other's life in the mountains over the years, and Bian Ruxue also asked about Li Hao's days in the courtyard.

When it was time for dinner, Li Hao found a restaurant and took her out to eat and chat.

After not seeing each other for eight years, there were many things to talk about. Although they seemed a little unfamiliar at the beginning, Li Hao seemed to have regained the feeling of his childhood later on.

"When did you come down the mountain?"

"A month ago." said Bian Ruxue.

Li Hao was a little surprised and asked, "Why did you come back so late?"

"I heard that something strange was happening somewhere, so I went to check it out. It turned out to be a dead river that had seeped in and destroyed an entire village," said Bian Ruxue.

Li Hao nodded, "What happened next?"

"I tried again and again, but unfortunately I just destroyed it and failed to pass it."

Li Hao laughed: "Destroying it is not bad, at least it can make it disappear temporarily."

Bian Ruxue sighed and nodded, "That's right."

Li Hao saw the sword beside her, which was always with her, and asked, "How is your sword training going after following the Sword Master for so many years?"

Bian Ruxue was slightly stunned, then remained silent for a moment before saying, "It's OK."

Li Hao couldn't help but laugh at her reaction: "Why, did you get criticized for not practicing well? Why are you so depressed when the sword is mentioned?"

Bian Ruxue shook her head slightly, put the sword aside, and said, "Brother Hao, let's not talk about the sword. I just found out when I came back this time that you are about to become the True Dragon of the Li Family. I asked around on the way and heard that there is another person who wants to compete with you. Are you sure?"

"What do you think?" Li Hao asked.

Seeing Li Hao so relaxed, Bian Ruxue immediately said, "I think so."

“I think so, too.”

Li Hao smiled and picked up some food for her.

"Speaking of which, I saw many big shots rushing to Qingzhou on the way. I heard that the fight for the True Dragon requires considering personal connections."

Bian Ruxue said: "Brother Hao, do you want me to call Master and the others down to help you?"

"Connections are just a small issue and don't mean anything. How can the choice of the true dragon of the Li family be influenced by outsiders?" Li Hao said with a smile.

Bian Ruxue thought about it and said, "Well, if Brother Hao needs me to do anything, you must tell me."

"There is something I want you to do."

"What?" Bian Ruxue was stunned.

"I'm full. You should clear out the rest. Don't waste food." Li Hao burped and leaned back in his chair comfortably.

Bian Ruxue was slightly speechless.
