Chapter 161: Chicken soup is poisonous!
第一百六十一章、雞湯有毒！
Li Muyang envied Teacher Xiahou’s soup- skill, because even the breath he exhaled was intoxicating
Perhaps it was because of drinking a big bowl of chicken soup, that even when Xiahou Qianbai spoke, a strong aroered on his breath
“Life passes quickly like a white colt’s shadow across a crevice; enjoy life while young or you’ll be sorry at old age This is a phrase fro Zi But what is enjoying the present?”
“It’s—” Li Muyang hesitated “Do what one wishes without restraint, do the things one wants to do”
“Not bad” Xiahou Qianbai nodded in agree flowers are joyful, wine- down drunk in a brothel and fighting on the battlefield are also joyful Seek virtue and acquire it, that is is the greatest pleasure in the world”
As though Li Muyang suddenly understood, he nodded vigorously, saying: “Teacher Xiahou’s words are right, I have becohtened immediately I will follow my true self, follow my heart’s desire”
“You don’t understand” Xiahou Qianbaihi – it’s what e drunk in a brothel, there’s no need to deliberately control or moderate yourself Because it’s joyful, it’s enjoyable, it’s dictated by the character The sa to make soup every day but if I do that, I would become the top chef in the world and would not be a Starry Sky teacher——”
“Everyone has a fierce tiger living in their heart, which loves comfort and ease and detests toil It will devour your hardworking nature, s your efforts and devour your future and everything you may have——For us cultivators who practice martial arts to break the realms, what is most important?”
“It’s hard work and effort” Li Muyang iht this answer seeht?
“No, it’s talent” Xiahou Qianbai said
“——”
If he wasn’t one hundred percent confident that he couldn’t win against hi already It this because I did not ht? Do you have to torture me to death? You drank chicken soup while I ate chicken ’s ood But do you always have to find faults in nity too, okay?
“You disagree?”
“I ’sto be able to still smile at such time In order to find a master to help him build his foundation, not only did he throay his principles, he would also be willing to throay his underwear In a tone that made it seeifted person also needs hard work, right? I’ve heard the story ‘Wounded Zhongyong’ It’s about a child nae of five and is known as a genius in his town Later, because he was greedy of s and sold his poems A few years later, his talent suddenly disappeared and he was no different to ordi
nary people Does this story not tell us that talent is very important but the ability to learn and work hard is just as important?”
Sitting on a stone bench in his cottage, Xiahou Qianbai shot a very dis “A story is ultimately a story, it’s there to lecture the people who has no talent to work hard Then again, that child called Fang Zhongyong cannot be called a true genius; real talents will make it clear what they want and stick to their drea has an idiotic father, everything he did was controlled by his idiotic father It’s not strange at all that a person like him would eventually disappear”
Li Muyang nodded repeatedly “Teacher Xiahou is right”
“Real talent——is difficult to describe, only the truly talented will understand” Xiahou Qianbai said
“——”
“Until now you still have not built your foundation; you can be said to be a clueless layman in martial arts”
“——”
“Soood words with three ly practiced for ten years, yet your handwriting is still unsightly Sos when they open their mouth, while you can cause a flood theof the Tao overnight while you still do not know the essence of the Tao despite holding onto three thousand Taoist scriptures all your life——Does hardwork matters? Is effort really that important?”
“Not i his head You can say whatever you want, as long as you’re willing to help me build my foundation
“No It’s important” Xiahou Qianbai said with absolute certainty “For you untalented, ordinary people, besides hard work, what else can you rely on? You already do not have inherent talent, if you don’t work hard, what opportunities will there be in life?”
“Teacher Xiahou——” Li Muyang’s face grew dark, suppressing his urge to beat hi to say?”
