Chapter 0046 Keep your chest up

Fortunately, Yi Gangyu didn't react slowly and had time to protect his head with both hands. Otherwise, he would have been lying on the ground with a bruised nose and a swollen face. He screamed repeatedly. He looked up at the giant sword that was about a foot deep into the tree trunk. He couldn't laugh or cry, so he turned over and stood up.

Xu Xin pretended to be surprised and said, "It's so strange!"

Yi Gangyu slapped the dust on his butt and asked, "What's strange?"

"Look!" Xu Xin fell to the ground and pointed at the giant sword and said, "My baby sword has always been obeyed only by her master, that is, my orders. How could you say 'go' today and she went?"

Yi Gangyu was a mute and ate Coptis chinensis, but he was too lazy to point it out and said, "Maybe you heard your baby sword wrongly. Miss Xu, let's go to see the Wild Boar King early and then go back to do the serious business."

What Yi Gangyu said about doing serious things is to Xu Xin to do something. She was undoubtedly the most happy about this kind of work, so she recalled the giant sword, pulled Yi Gangyu up and stood in front, and asked with a smile: "Do you still want to get addicted?"

"It's better you come in person."

Xu Xin continued to ask, "What did you learn in this lesson just now?"

Yi Gangyu said ashamed: "Don't command blindly if you're okay."

"You can teach me." Xu Xin stretched out his slender hand, pointed ahead, and said softly: "Go!"

The giant sword flew slowly, shuttled freely among the pine forests, free and easy.

Yi Gangyu couldn't help asking, "Miss Xu..."

"Wait..." Xu Xin seemed to hesitate for a moment before whispering: "Given that you made me a little surprised today, I decided to give you a big reward. Now you have three choices, call me Kexin, or Keke, or Keer, just choose one."

Yi Gangyu was stunned, thinking that this was indeed a big reward. A young girl agreed to another person to call her like this, either this person was her elder, or her close friend, or... Yi Gangyu didn't dare to think about it anymore, and asked with little confidence: "Then, then I'll call you Keer like the second master, okay?"

Xu Xin asked back: "Why?"

Yi Gangyu said honestly: "I heard the second master call you like this, it sounds nice."

Xu Xin smiled and nodded, "Okay, just call me Keer, then what am I calling you? A rustic bun? A pauper?"

Yi Gangyu said awkwardly: "Xu... Keer, I should be older than you, right?"

“So what?!”

"No." Yi Gangyu said quickly, "I mean, call it whatever you like."

Xu Xin turned his eyes and said, "Just simply, just call Xiaogang. Anyway, you are no longer older than me. Let me ask you, how old are you this year?"

Yi Gangyu said: "The fifteenth day of July is exactly eighteen."

Xu Xin frowned slightly and said, "Your birthday is really amazing... It's not right. Since you are one..."

Yi Gangyu didn't care at all and smiled and said, "Orphan."

Xu Xin said: "I was just curious for a moment, but I didn't intend..."

"It's okay, you continue."

Xu Xin hesitated for a moment before asking, "How did you know that July 15th is your birthday?"

Yi Gangyu said, "When I was picked up by my adoptive mother, I was wrapped in a small quilt with a palm-sized white silk. The word "Yi" was written on the front and the back was written on the fifteenth of July. There was nothing else except these. After the adoptive mother took me home, she thought about it and finally decided that my surname was Yi. Her birthday was July 15th, and that's it."

Xu Xin nodded and asked, "Then is your name given to you by your adoptive mother?"

Yi Gangyu shook his head and said, "My name was taken by an old master who traveled here on my first birthday. The adoptive mother said that day happened to be at the market in Yangguan Road in the town. She carried me to sell some of her own vegetables. At that time, she had been tying me to her back and sold a basket of vegetables, and then lay me in the basket. Not long after, an old master passed by. After seeing me, she squatted down curiously. Seeing that he didn't buy anything, she just stared at me and watched it all. She was scared, so she hugged me tightly in her arms to prevent him from watching. The old master also realized that he had lost his composure, so she smiled and asked me if your child had a name? The adoptive mother subconsciously shook her head. Although there were people coming and going on the street, she was still highly alert, fearing that the old master would run away if he snatched me."

Xu Xin smiled and said, "I got it, and then the old master asked you for your last name and birthday, and then you had your name."

Yi Gangyu said, "It's almost the same. Anyway, the adoptive mother said this. However, when the old master left, he said to my adoptive mother, 'When this little guy grows up, he can understand the meaning of the word Gang, remember! Remember!', the adoptive mother was seriously ill when I was over seven years old, and only remembered to tell me this sentence before she died."

Xu Xin asked, "Then do you understand the meaning of the word "gang" now?"

Yi Gangyu shook his head and said, "I have never been to the academy. When I was a child, I would occasionally squat under the window and eavesdrop on what the teachers were saying? After a few times, I lost interest because I couldn't understand it at all. I officially started to read, but after I met Mr. Gu, once I asked Mr. Gu, what does the word "Gang" mean? Mr. Gu casually told me that it was the meaning of the wind. I thought that Mr. Gu was very knowledgeable, and he said yes, that must be true. One year later, one night I accompanied Mr. Gu to enjoy the cool air. He suddenly pointed to the seven stars in the sky that looked like a spoon and told me that it was the Big Dipper. The star at the handle of the spoon was Tiangang."

Xu Xin nodded and said, "This explanation is much better than the first one. Is there any other meaning?"

Yi Gangyu said: "A few years later, it should be when I was sixteen years old. I went to Mr. Gu to read a book. Before leaving, he told me that the word "Gang" in my name is actually the four commands for Gang."

Xu Xin was puzzled and said, "The word Gang is originally the right one, what is the explanation?"

Yi Gangyu smiled and said, "Ker, it's not as simple as you think. The so-called four righteousnesses are Gang, according to what the ancient master said, that's too complicated. I've only figured out the most basic thing until now."

Xu Xin didn't believe it and said, "Let me tell you, just a word, how big a trick can you make."

Yi Gangyu said: "There are four right minds, which are the right way, virtue, Dharma, and wisdom. The body has four right minds, which are the right body, qi, essence, and spirit. There are four right words, which are the right speech, the right sound, the right rhyme, and the right sound. There are four right minds, which are the right actions, stand upright, sit upright, and lying downright. Keer, this is what the ancient master told me, is it complicated?"

Ren Shi Xuxin Bingxue was smart and suddenly heard these words, he was stunned. After glaring for a moment, he touched his chin and said, "There are four straights in this industry. Isn't it just that you want to walk, stand, sit, and sleep?"

Yi Gangyu said: "According to the literal meaning, it is indeed the case. But Old Master Gu reminded me that this is just an expression on the surface. He said it was just a superficial interpretation. He said that when he was right, he seemed to say that one person had to straighten his chest and raise his head, but not everyone could walk with his chest and raise his head. He told me that put aside the entire Obsidian continent, just say that there were a few people in this landdog town and on the streets of Fugui? Then he named Cai Yinwen. He did see her on weekdays, but that was just a gesture. Then he named Liu Sanniang, because he had a problem with the cervical spine and could not raise his head for the rest of his life. However, her skillful hands embroidered flowers, even Tailor Ning felt inferior to her. Keer, the daffodils on your skirt were from Liu Sanniang."

Xu Xin lifted up the hem of the skirt, glanced at it, and exclaimed: "I originally thought that these daffodils were embroidered vividly. Every time I walked, I always had the illusion that these daffodils would come back to life."

Yi Gangyu smiled and said, "Mr. Gu said that Liu Sanniang is really walking with her chest raised and her head raised."

Xu Xin suddenly realized and said in surprise: "I understand that the so-called right-mindedness is not just walking with a straight chest and raised his head, but also being a person with a straight chest and raised his head. Is that right?"

"It should be like this." Yi Gangyu said, "The ancient man also woke me up. The so-called lying straight does not simply refer to a correct sleeping position, but can also be understood as falling down and dead. For example, some people will soon be forgotten when they die, while some people will always live in the hearts of others and be remembered by others. So my understanding is that no matter whether they are erect, standing at the right hand, sitting at the right hand, or lying at the right hand, they are all giving me a choice. Which kind of person should I become?"

Xu Xin clapped his hands and said, "It makes sense! It makes sense. Xiao Gang, the ancient master is a master with great knowledge and wisdom, but the old master who gave you a name is undoubtedly even more master."

Yi Gangyu was about to nod and said yes, behind a huge oil pine tree in front of him, a "huff" sound suddenly came from a breath of breath. A strange sound said, "Old pig doesn't believe it. How can there be so many experts?"

Yi Gangyu felt a stern and quickly took out [Xiao Qingcheng] to concentrate and be alert. Xu Xin stopped the giant sword from coming to power and shouted: "Who is the monster? Show up quickly!"

There was a sound behind the oil pine tree, and then a big wild boar about the meter tall walked out.

"Wild Boar King?" Yi Gangyu said in horror.

I saw the wild boar king walking upright. Not only that, he was wearing a few animal skins, one of which was still surrounded by tiger skins.

The Wild Boar King shook his thick head and actually clasped his fists and said, "The old pig has seen a hero and a heroine. The old pig is not the wild boar king, but the old pig is the name of the old pig."

Yi Gangyu was completely speechless, but Xu Xin was not surprised and smiled and said, "You must be the old pig demon that Zhang Linyuan let go. It's not bad. Apart from those two yellowed fangs, they look quite stupid."

"Dare you ask the heroine if she knows Master Zhang?"

Xu Xin said, "It's not just about knowing this hero, but this hero is Zhang Linyuan's disciple. Please say hello again."

The old pig was extremely shocked and took a few steps back and said in horror: "Heroic! Oh no, young hero, since Master Zhang let him go, the old pig has been staying honestly in the wild boar forest, and has never stepped out. The few animal skins on this body were left by the wild beasts that broke in and wanted to kill the old pigs. The old pig dared not disobey the oath, so please check it out."

Yi Gangyu was extremely shocked. He didn't expect that there was a big wild boar standing upright and talking. In this way, there must be gods and demons.

"Young hero, please don't kill the old pig. The old pig swears to the sky that he has never harmed anyone!"

Xu Xin watched while watching, the scene of this person and a pig talking was really funny and weird.

"Uh..." Yi Gangyu put away [Xiao Qingcheng] and said, "I'm not here to kill you, but to have a look... By the way, I'll remind you that a pig every day should be prepared early. It's best to get outside the forest on time so that we won't come in."

The old pig kept nodding and said, "Old pig remember!"

Yi Gangyu was also surprised. It was fine if the old pig was speaking, but he was still very literary and couldn't understand it. So he asked curiously: "Old pig, who did you learn from?"

The old pig hurriedly said, "Go back to the young hero, there is an official road in the north of the forest to the north Xuanwu Sea. There are caravans going back and forth. The old pig lies on the edge of the forest and can overhear them. Over time, he learned a little and made the young hero laugh."

Yi Gangyu couldn't help laughing and shook his head and said, "Forget it, as long as you stay in the wild boar forest with peace of mind, my second master will naturally not order me to come and kill you."

The old pig was very grateful and said, "Thank you young hero and female hero. When you see Master Zhang, please give me a greeting. I said that the old pig will never dare to break his oath and will never walk out of the wild boar forest in this life."

"This is the best." Yi Gangyu turned around, looked at Xu Xin who was smiling, and said, "Ke'er, let's go."

The two of them leaped onto the giant sword, turned around and flew more than ten feet away, and the old pig kept saying goodbye behind them.

Xu Xin smiled and said, "Xiao Gang, how do you feel?"

Yi Gangyu shook his head and said, "It's hard to describe."

"Really now?"

"I believe it completely." Yi Gangyu said, "However, what I don't understand is that since there are gods and monsters, why don't those who die in vain die after they turn into ghosts? Just like Liu Mazi I told you, if he dies in a prison, Cai Yinwen is not afraid that Liu Mazi will turn into a ghost and seek her life?"

Xu Xin said: "Man and ghosts have different paths and are not in the same world. How can we take revenge?"

Yi Gangyu frowned and asked, "What does it mean to be not in the same world?"

Xu Xin sighed softly and said, "Xiao Gang, you have too many things to learn, take your time, I'm not in a hurry now."
