Chapter 82: Mirror, Fish
The old beggar gestured wildly, pointing at the shimmering surface of the lake one moment and at the fish swimming in the water the next.
Lu Jianjia and Hongxiao looked on, completely bewildered.
“Take your time, tell us slowly. What mirror? What fish? There’s no rush, speak slowly.”
Hongxiao hurriedly tried to soothe him. Although the old beggar was not in his right mind, he was undoubtedly an incredible master.
Perhaps he had caught on to Gu Shiyi’s flaws in an instant.
They had all been guided and benefited from Gu Shiyi’s teachings, yet there was no one around capable of guiding Gu Shiyi himself.
Whether it was a martial artist or a practitioner of the arcane, one would surely struggle to improve if they worked in isolation. With just a little bit of guidance, it was possible to make a sudden, major breakthrough.
The old beggar grew impatient. With a “splash,” he jumped into the water and began to swim around in the wide river.
“Fish…”
“Are you saying one must be like a fish, right?” Lu Jianjia asked.
The old beggar shook his head. “Must have fish! Definitely must!”
He suddenly leapt out of the lake water, reached out, and brushed his hand over the surface, calming the rippling water.
“Mirror… motionless…”
He was so anxious he began jumping up and down. Not only were Lu Jianjia and Hongxiao unable to understand him, but even Gu Shiyi was lost.
He frowned for a long time, then suddenly said, “Can you demonstrate it for me to see?”
