The Heavens Begin with Detective Di Renjie

Chapter 160
Lu Xiaofeng was right, Shen Youzhi's troubles did come, but it was not Ximen Chuuxue who came, but Ye Guhong.

Ye Guhong is a lay disciple of Wudang, and also a rising star among the disciples of Wudang. It is said that he is also the distant cousin of the Lord of Baiyun, and the Lord of Baiyun even taught his sword moves in person.

Logically speaking, he should be like Ye Gucheng, but he is like Ximen Chuuxue——

His pale face, cold and proud expression, his snow-white clothes, and even his standing posture were exactly the same as Ximen Chuuxue's.

Although he is much younger than Ximen Chuuxue, and his facial contours are also much weaker than Ximen Chuuxue, but his whole body looks like the shadow of Ximen Chuuxue.

However, few people know, not even Ye Guhong himself, that he is actually the son of Wudang Elder Mu Taoist!

Thirty years ago, Mu Daoren was the person with the highest martial arts of the Wudang School. He was originally the best candidate for the head, but he voluntarily gave up the headship to his younger brother Mei Zhenren.

Everyone in the world praised him for his integrity and indifference to fame and fortune, but the real reason for his wish was that Taoist Mu violated the rules of the sect, had a relationship with his cousin Shen Sanniang, and gave birth to a pair of children.

In order not to reveal this secret, he forced his apprentice Ye Lingfeng to marry his cousin Shen Sanniang as a cover.

However, this secret was still known by Taoist Mu's younger brother Mei Zhenren, so Taoist Mu could only be forced to give up the position of head.

Not only that, Mei Zhenren also handed over this secret to his apprentice, Shi Yan, the current head of Wudang, in order to blackmail Taoist Mu.

It is also in order to destroy this secret that Mu Taoist created the ghost villa in secret, trying to launch the "Sky Thunder Operation" during the Wudang Ceremony to take away the Seven Star Sword from Shi Yan and destroy the hidden evidence.

However, all of this seems to have nothing to do with Shen Youzhi.

Then, why did Ye Guhong seek out Shen Youzhi?

Because he couldn't find Ximen Chuuxue.

After Sun Xiuqing left, Ximen Chuuxue was no longer in Wanmei Villa, and no one knew where he went.

Shen Youzhi looked at the high-spirited young man in front of him, as if he saw himself a few years ago.

At that time, Shen Youzhi was still learning swords from Taoist Gu, every move, even walking, sitting and sleeping, he was almost similar to Taoist Gu.

There is nothing to be ashamed of.

Imitation and learning are the most primitive and important skills of human beings. It is precisely because of this skill that human knowledge and skills can be passed down from generation to generation and continuously accumulated and optimized.

No one is born omniscient and invincible. They all start by learning from others to lay the foundation.

The most important thing is whether you can sum up your own things through continuous imitation and learning, instead of being reduced to the shadow of others.

Those who learn from me live, those who resemble me die.

Blind imitation can never break free from the stereotype.

"Why are you here?" Shen Youzhi asked.

"Ask the sword." Ye Guhong replied.

In terms of age, Shen Youzhi is younger than Ye Guhong, but in terms of fame, especially among sword users, there is a world of difference between the two.

Today, Shen Youzhi's title of "Dao Sword Immortal" has already spread throughout the Jianghu, no less than Gu Daoren, who used his sword to overwhelm the Jianghu.

The only difference is that Gu Daoren stands alone, while Shen Youzhi and Ximen Chuuxue complement each other.

Although Ye Guhong's title of "Wudang Little White Dragon" can be considered resounding, it is still far behind.

There is no precedence in learning, and the master is the teacher.

To Ye Guhong, Shen Youzhi is undoubtedly a senior, especially a senior in the way of swordsmanship.

"Whose sword is it? Yours, or Ximen Chuuxue's?" Shen Youzhi pointed at the essence.

Ye Guhong was silent, he didn't know how to answer.

For him, Ximen Chuuxue's swordsmanship is the best swordsmanship, and it is also the swordsmanship he has been learning and using.

But he certainly couldn't have the cheek to say that was his swordsmanship.

But if it was Ximen Chuuxue's swordsmanship, he couldn't open his mouth either, because Ximen Chuuxue's swordsmanship must be stronger than the swordsmanship he used.

"You can't even tell whose sword technique you are using, so you come to me to ask what kind of sword it is?" Shen Youzhi shook his head helplessly.

In fact, whether Ye Guhong answers "myself" or "Ximen Chuuxue", it is much better than silence.

Answering "myself" shows that although he regards Ximen Fuxue as his goal, deep down in his heart he still desires to create his own swordsmanship.

Answering "Ximen Chuuxue" shows that he has realized his current shortcomings and admits that he is still just an imitator.

Saying nothing proves that he doesn't even know what level he is at and what he wants in his heart. He is just a fanatical imitation out of admiration for the strong.

"Let's go, you haven't reached the level where you can talk about swords." Shen Youzhi said.

Ye Guhong pursed his lips tightly when he heard the words, and the hand holding the sword became even paler.

At this moment, another young man with a sword walked into Shen Youzhi's courtyard——

Black clothes, meticulously tied hair, slow pace, and the slightly raised corners of the mouth.

Looking at him, Shen Youzhi seemed to be looking in a mirror.

Obviously, this person is also a fanatical imitator, but what he imitated was none other than Shen Youzhi.

"Are you also here to ask about the sword?" Shen Youzhi asked.

The boy nodded, looking at Shen Youzhi with respect and admiration in his eyes.

"What kind of sword did you learn?"

Shen Youzhi raised a similar question again.

"Huifeng Wuliujian." The young man replied very simply.

"Are you from the Bashan Sword Sect?" Shen Youzhi's eyes lit up.

"Yes." The boy replied, "My name is Gu Yunyang."

His surname is Gu, so it seems that he is a direct descendant of the Bashan Sword Sect.

"Okay." Shen Youzhi nodded slightly, and said, "Use your sword."

Gu Yunyang was very excited when he heard the words, because it meant that Shen Youzhi affirmed his sword skills, at least it meant that his sword skills were worth watching!
With excitement in his heart, Gu Yunyang slowly drew out his own sword, a dark green sword.

"Wait!" Ye Guhong suddenly shouted.

Gu Yunyang frowned, and turned to look at Ye Guhong.

"Why can he ask you about the sword, but I can't, do you think his sword skills are better than mine?" Ye Guhong looked at Shen Youzhi and asked.

Shen Youzhi looked at him, shook his head, and said, "His swordsmanship may not be better than yours, but he has a much clearer understanding of himself than you.

At least he knows what kind of sword technique he is learning, but you haven't even thought about it.

Learning and imitating has never been a shameful thing. It is important that you know what stage you are in and where your goals are. "

Working hard and persevering is undoubtedly a difficult thing, but even more difficult is anchoring one's own goals and then formulating a practical plan.

Many people fail not because they don't work hard enough, but because they simply don't see the direction of their efforts.

Ye Guhong refused to accept it, and shouted loudly: "Strong is strong! My swordsmanship is worse than his, why am I not as good as him?"

"Strength is only temporary." Shen Youzhi retorted: "The future is uncertain, who can say that he is the eternal strong?
Only by recognizing yourself and your goals clearly can you move forward with determination and go straight to the road. "

Ye Guhong still refused to accept it, so he drew his sword and stabbed Shen Youzhi.

He wants to show Shen Youzhi whether his sword skills are not worth watching!
Ding--

Dang-

Shen Youzhi's sword was not out of its sheath, and Ye Guhong's long sword was broken with just a flick of two fingers.

Ye Guhong stared blankly at the broken sword in his hand, as if looking at the broken pride in his heart.

Suddenly, Ye Guhong grabbed the hilt of the sword with his backhand and stabbed it towards his heart.

He has been learning swordsmanship for 20 years, and he feels that he is almost the same as Ximen Chuuxue, but today, the edge of his sword was broken with his fingers, which is tantamount to declaring that his 20 years of swordsmanship career is a joke.

Just when the broken sword was about to pierce Ye Guhong's chest, Shen Youzhi firmly grabbed Ye Guhong's hand holding the sword, preventing the broken sword from entering.

"It's just a temporary failure, why seek death?" Shen Youzhi said: "Isn't death the most stupid and cowardly act?

If you can't accept even one failure, how can you be determined and aspire to the top? "

Ye Guhong looked at Shen Youzhi and asked, "What about you? Have you ever been defeated?"

"Of course." Shen Youzhi nodded calmly.

Not to mention that he was defeated by Yuan Qi in his last life, in this life alone, he has been defeated by Taoist Gu countless times.

This is a common thing in the process of learning and progress, so what is it?

If such a person loses the courage to move forward because of a failure, no matter what they do, it is impossible for such a person to be at the top.

There is no one who is invincible, only the determination and will to never give up.

There is only one kind of person in this world who is a real loser, and that is the person who gives up on himself.

Ye Guhong left, he had to think about what his goal was.

Gu Yunyang also left. He has already received guidance from Shen Youzhi, and he needs to ponder and understand it carefully.

Shen Youzhi looked at them, and realized in a trance that he was no longer that young man who had just entered the arena, but had already become an object of imitation and admiration.
