XIAO SHUXIANG'S
35 - Mental Strengthening Stage [Revised]
Yang Shu and Gu Ta Sian continued to talk during the trip. Gu Ta Sian recounted Yang Fu's personality, from his good habits to his bad habits during his time in the Silver Bamboo Sect.
Yang Shu's facial expression changed every time Gu Ta Sian told him. Sometimes Yang Shu frowned, smiling, laughing loudly while shaking her head.
"Haaah, he was indeed feared by small children because of his firm face, especially with his rigid attitude when talking to them. I can't believe that now he has the title of 'Evil Moustached Face' from his students..." Yang Shu exhaled softly after hearing the end of Gu Ta Sian's story.
Xiao Shuxiang looked tired of hearing Gu Ta Sian's story, he had no information at all other than his grandfather's brother's personal story.
"Patriarch must be very happy to see you. What if after coming home from the Lotus Flower Sect, you come along with us to the Silver Bamboo Sect..?!" Gu Ta Sian smiled as he looked expectantly at Yang Shu.
"I also want to meet Fu'Er, but I can't promise to come with you. Maybe next time..."
Gu Ta Sian looked disappointed when he heard Yang Shu's words. But after thinking for a long time, he understood the reason for this man beside him.
Yang Fu was one of the two Patriarchs of the Silver Bamboo Sect.
It was worth knowing that the Silver Bamboo Sect had two patriarchs and a GrandElder. Often in a sect there is more than one patriarch, and also often in a sect only has GrandElder only.
Although a Patriarch, Yang Fu only occasionally attended meetings or exited sects to fulfill an invitation.
Yang Fu was a closed cultivator. He may reduce interaction with others for unspeakable reasons. This reason Yang Fu was only known to the people he trusted.
Just as Gu Ta Sian wanted to speak again to Yang Shu, suddenly someone who was none other than Zong Ming jumped onto the carriage.
"Ming'Ers? What's up?" Gu Ta Sian slightly flinched and felt astonished by the presence of this junior, shouldn't Zong Ming be on the other carriage together with Yang Shu's disciples and other merchants?
Zong Ming, "I apologize for disturbing you. But one of the fainted children woke up and he was immediately frightened while shouting. Although his voice did not want to come out, but his face was so pale. I put her back to sleep with Qi. Senior, that child seems to have never passed the Mental Strengthening Stage..."
Gu Ta Sian looked at Yang Shu, he could see the worry on the face of this man beside him.
Gu Ta Sian exhaled.
For cultivators and ordinary humans who wanted to become warriors, it had to go through the Mental Strengthening Stage. This stage is associated with fear and hesitation to kill.
Xiao Shuxiang knew that. When one decides to become a Swordsman, he will at all times meet and enter into danger. It was inevitable that he would fight while risking his life. That is why the Mental of a Swordsman must be strong, must not have any hesitation to kill let alone have fear of blood and scattered internal organs.
The Mental Strengthening Stage itself could be trained in two ways. First, by getting used to seeing something terrible, including getting involved in it. Second, it uses Qi to give a sort of picture into the brain slowly. It is like a dream, in which a person is directed to be brave and defeat his fear of blood and pieces of the human body.
Yang Shu rubbed his mustache and beard, the look on his face made Gu Ta Sian smile thinly.
Gu Ta Sian, "Ming'Er. You and Liu'Er helped the three boys to mentally strengthen them. I'm putting it on both of you,"
"Good, Senior."
Zong Ming and Ying Liu nodded their heads, the two of them then went towards the other carriage.
"Both of your juniors are very talented, they will definitely become great Swordsmen one day." Yang Shu praised when Zong Ming and Ying Liu were no longer with them.
"Your disciples can faint like that because their mentality is not yet strong. You are the same Senior. Despite being at the 8th level of Forging Qi, yet you are not used to seeing human body pieces?" Gu Ta Sian held back his smile as he spoke to Yang Shu.
There was no satirical tone from Gu Ta Sian's words, Yang Shu also did not feel annoyed when he heard him speak like that because what Gu Ta Sian said was not the wrong thing.
It was true, Xiao Lu, Jing Mi and Qi Xuan had never seen that much blood before, let alone seen the body pieces as well as the killing done right before their eyes. Of course, their mentality was so weak.
Yang Shu himself also had a slightly weak mentality, he did indeed dare to kill a demonic beast or an ordinary ferocious beast, but if it killed humans.. Yang Shu was not sure he could do it.
Even when Yang Shu killed the demonic beast, he would feel guilty and burdened.
"What you said is true. Compared to your two students earlier, my mentality is much weaker," Yang Shu stroked his mustache and beard, there was a slight tinge of disappointment from his words.
Gu Ta Sian realized it, he then said. "I think it's better. Someone like you... Better, as much as possible avoid committing murder."
"Well, but because I'm mentally weak... I can't help my beloved granddaughter when she's fighting criminals."
Gu Ta Sian had only come to a realization with something that made him curious from the very beginning. Being too happy to meet Yang Shu, he had forgotten about Xiao Shuxiang.
"About this Grandson of yours, I'm really amazed at him. He's a brave boy," Gu Ta Sian smiled proudly as he looked at the seven-year-old who was sitting in front of him.
Xiao Shuxiang who had never spoken a word from being too bored suddenly gasped after hearing Gu Ta Sian's words just now.
Xiao Shuxiang's eyes flickered a few times, there was a sense of disbelief in his heart upon hearing the word 'Boy' come out of Gu Ta Sian's mouth.
"This guy calls me 'Boy Boy'?! I didn't hear wrong, did I?" Xiao Shuxiang looked directly at Gu Ta Sian, eager for him to ask that this man repeat his words.
"I also don't believe my Beloved Grandchild can be so brave..." Yang Shu smiled towards Xiao Shuxiang, "Xiao'Er? How's the wound on your shoulder? Does it still hurt?"
Xiao Shuxiang, "His blood has already stopped coming out due to the help from Ying Liu. The pain is less now,"
Yang Shu, "Thank God then. I thank Mr. Gu. Good thing you guys came on time, if you didn't..."
"It is precisely me who should be thanking you, Senior. Your grandson can buy time and cheat the criminals. Her... Very brave,"
Xiao Shuxiang smiled when he heard Gu Ta Sian's heartfelt remark. In fact, getting compliments like this was a common thing for him.
However, for some reason upon hearing Gu Ta Sian mention the word 'Males' made Xiao Shuxiang smile proudly.
The three Yang Shu disciples' faces muttered several times. They looked agitated, broke out in cold sweat, and several times shouted in an unconscious state.
This was indeed a commonplace thing in the Mental Strengthening Stage using Qi. If it were to be roughly spelled out, Qi Xuan, Xiao Lu, and Jing Mi were having a nightmare right now.
They dreamed of seeing a lot of blood and also pieces of demonic beast bodies as well as humans. Not only that, in his third dream, they were the ones who actually killed the demonic beasts and humans.
A voice rang out when the three of them felt fear, the voice explaining that the humans they killed were bad people and had often killed many people.
That voice led Qi Xuan, Xiao Lu, and Jing Mi, to be brave and not to hesitate to finish off the life of a criminal.
The voice also said that the three should only swing the sword to protect and keep the peace.
"... Never be afraid to draw a sword to destroy evil. Remember, sword in hand to protect and guard...! Not to oppress and commit crimes...!"
The voice came from Zong Ming and Ying Liu, both of them continued to suggest to Qi Xuan, Xiao Lu and Jing Mi while continuing to flow their Qi.
