Since Duan Xuan wanted to check on his disciples' practice, everyone had no mood for joking and went back to their rooms to practice magic or rest.

The next morning, when it was still dark as ink, Wen Jing dressed early and went to the main hall.

There were already five or six people in the hall, waiting for their master.

In "The Tribulation of All Living Things", Duan Xuan is a controversial character with mixed reviews. Some people like his straightforward character, while others think that he is irresponsible to his disciples and predict that he will be cannon fodder.

At first, Wen Jing had no good impression of Duan Xuan until a reader named "Zhen Shui Wu Xiang" selected all the paragraphs about Duan Xuan in the text and analyzed them carefully. Only then did Wen Jing change his mind about him.

This long review titled "Duan Xuan's Inner World" has more than 4,000 words, and reading it gives you a sense of pleasure.

[Duan Xuan's biggest crime is that he is irresponsible, cold-hearted, and does not teach his disciples to practice. Let's see if this is really the case.

Chapter 37: "Jun Yanzhi has practiced the "True Yang Sword Technique" to the fourth level, but the sword cannot break through the protective aura around Duan Xuan. Duan Xuan looked at him coldly, and his aura suddenly burst out. There were only a few sounds of metal breaking, and the sword had been neatly broken into four pieces. Jun Yanzhi looked at the broken sword on the ground, and his heart moved."

Here, Duan Xuan is quite cruel. When practicing with his apprentice, he destroyed his apprentice's sword. But Jun Yanzhi's "heart moved", what did he feel moved about?

Look here.

Chapter 98: "Brother Ku Ran put away the red long sword in his hand and laughed: 'Even without the Earthly Evil Sword, I can chop you into meat paste.' As he said that, he snatched a medium-grade long sword from the Qi training disciple beside him and flew towards Jun Yanzhi. Jun Yanzhi flipped his right hand and held a light green long sword in his hand. He was not in a hurry to rush up, but only used his spiritual energy to protect his body and tried his best to resist. After a while, the green long sword suddenly flew out and stabbed at the opponent at lightning speed. There was a sound of metal collision, and Ku Ran's long sword broke into two pieces. Everyone was shocked."

Do you think that Jun Yanzhi's move is a bit similar to the one used by Duan Xuan? I think it is similar anyway.

Jun Yanzhi is the most enlightened person in Huishi Peak. His "feeling moved" was definitely not because of an abnormal heart rhythm. I think he understood what Duan Xuan taught him.

If you think it's a far-fetched argument, here's another paragraph.

Chapter 101: "Jun Yanzhi said: 'All precious swords have flaws. The lower the quality, the more obvious the flaws. When fighting, use spiritual energy to test it, or you can find its weakness. At this time, just break its weakness.' Gui Xinbi said jealously: 'Fourth brother has a high level of enlightenment, I don't know this.' Jun Yanzhi said: 'This is all taught by the master.'"

In other words, the pit dug in Chapter 37 was filled in about Chapter 100.

There are a few more examples below.

...

Why didn't he teach his disciples directly? I think there are several reasons.

First, because he is a genius.

For example, elementary school teachers and middle school teachers are specially trained to teach. Expressing complex concepts in the simplest language is one of the necessary skills. But are there a few genius university professors who are good at teaching? Almost none, right? Anyway, I haven't met one.

Duan Xuan is one of the five great Jindan cultivators, and the youngest one. It's not strange that he can't teach because of his cold and weird personality.

Secondly, there is another reason mentioned later.

Chapter 263: "Master Lu Zhen once said: 'The most important thing about cultivation is one's own experience. The less you understand, the deeper you delve into it, and the deeper your understanding will be. If someone explains it to you at the beginning, without any detours, and there is no one to explain it to you later, you will find it difficult to move forward.'"

This is quite interesting. In plain words, it means: you can't teach by cramming, you have to let students use their own brains and cultivate them into thinking talents.

It goes without saying what Lu Zhen's identity is and how profound this passage has affected Duan Xuan.

So I think Duan Xuan is guilty of "not understanding human nature", "not liking to listen to the 'worldly affairs' between the peaks", and "not having the intention to develop Huishi Peak", but it is unfair to say that he doesn't care about his disciples' cultivation. 】——Excerpt from "Duan Xuan's Inner World".

For such a person, the system shows a character value of -243, which makes people feel at a loss.

Jun Yanzhi stood not far away and glanced at Wen Jing silently.

Several disciples were a little worried. Gu Jinping said uneasily: "Last year, I was beaten by the master like a frame falling apart. This year I just hope to suffer less."

Li Shu said sourly: "Master at least fights with you. He ignores me and my eighth junior brother."

As a useless spiritual root with all five elements, if you want to be beaten, it depends on whether the other person is willing.

Not long after, the disciples came one after another, standing in an orderly manner waiting for Duan Xuan.

Finally, at the moment when the sky was slightly bright, a man in a dark gray Taoist robe flew in.

He was neither hurried nor slow, and asked Liu Qianmo to step out of the line. Without saying a word, he fought with him in the hall.

Wen Jing didn't have to be beaten today, so he was happy to be free. He pursed his lips and watched the two people dancing in the hall.

Half an hour later, Liu Qianmo was defeated and limped to the side, and He Ling came on.

Wen Jing watched intently, and time flew by.

The scene of Duan Xuan teaching Jun Yanzhi was described vaguely in the text, but when it happened in front of him, it made people feel like they were in the clouds. Wen Jing stared at him without blinking, but he couldn't see the "movement in Jun Yanzhi's heart". Even if there was a pause in the movement, Wen Jing would think that Senior Brother Jun was sad and his sword was broken.

If it weren't for "True Water Has No Fragrance", he would probably never see the truth in his life.

The days in winter are short, and after the fight with the seven disciples, the sky was already a little dark.

Duan Xuan looked at the light grey sky outside the hall, frowned slightly, turned to the remaining Li Shu, Mo Shaoyan and Wen Jing and said: "You three come together."

"Yes."

Li Shu and Mo Shaoyan were a little excited when they heard this, and hurriedly stepped out. Wen Jing didn't know why, and followed behind them in small steps.

They didn't learn swordsmanship, only the most basic light thorn technique. The three spiritual energies flew towards Duan Xuan like stones.

Although the light thorn technique is simple, it is not easy to practice it to the level of a blade. It requires years of practice. Duan Xuan frowned slightly, casually collected the three spiritual energies, and released them. The spiritual energy returned along the original path and flew towards the eyes of the three people.

"Master!" Liu Qianmo shouted.

The three people were shocked and turned their heads away without being able to dodge. There were sporadic cries of pain. Li Shu was hit on the forehead, Mo Shaoyan's nose was bleeding, Wen Jing's cheeks slowly turned red, and he turned his head dizzily.

So vicious, so vicious... The spiritual energy attacked the eyes, making people unable to help but close their eyes, which was the easiest to be hit.

Wen Jing rubbed his swollen cheek, swallowed his tears, and bowed his head and said, "Thank you for your teaching, Master."

Li Shu and Mo Shaoyan also thanked him while covering their wounds.

Duan Xuan stared at Wen Jing coldly, but his expression was a little strange: "Stand over here."

Wen Jing's heart was alarmed. What did he ask him to do?

He stood there without moving, but saw that Duan Xuan was a little impatient, and his voice became a little colder: "The shortest one."

Wen Jing looked around and confirmed that he was the shortest one. With tears in his eyes, he walked forward hesitantly.

Duan Xuan pulled Wen Jing's arm and pressed it, and a stream of spiritual energy poured out.

There was silence in the hall.

After a long time, Duan Xuan stared at Wen Jing coldly, and suddenly said, "Qian Mo."

"Master." Liu Qianmo hurriedly stepped out.

"This winter, let him soak in the ice spring for eight hours every other day, without any mistakes." Duan Xuan let go of Wen Jing's arm and regained his stern expression.

Everyone was stunned.

Wen Jing was so angry that his teeth were about to be broken.

"Yes." Liu Qianmo didn't know what he meant, but he had to agree.

Liu Qianmo said again: "Master, I have some mundane affairs to report to you at Huishi Peak. Do you have time?"

Duan Xuan frowned slightly and said, "You can handle these things yourself."

After that, he actually floated up and flew out of the hall.

Liu Qianmo looked at the figure going away, feeling depressed, but he had to say, "Yes."
