Chapter 76: On the Sword
When he first laid eyes on Cheng Zhiyuan, Master Zhuansun saw some clues. When he was talking about the meaning of benevolence, he had been observing the handsome young man in front of him to confirm whether he had noticed it himself.
That immortal family.
Although the Exquisite Heart with Seven Apertures is extremely difficult for the world to see, at least it cannot be hidden from the "sages" in this world.
Gods control heaven, saints control the world, real people control mountains and rivers, Taoists control good and bad luck, and immortals control wind and rain.
The sages, on the other hand, mainly assist the saints in governing the world and all the people, and compiling books and records.
As one of the six "people" in heaven and earth, although the sage's realm and magic power are inferior to those of the saint, his vision and supernatural powers are definitely not inferior to those of the saint.
Moreover, wise men are in charge of all the people in the world, and even immortals are among the four living beings, so naturally they cannot escape the attention of wise men.
Liang Que was a little confused. She blinked, looked at Cheng Zhiyuan, and then at Master Zhuansun, her mind was in a state of confusion.
Master Zhuansun smiled: "The first moment you came to this world, I already understood your existence. It happened that I was studying in Zhaodi. The moment you appeared in Heqiu, I knew that an immortal had come to this world.
Already."
He stretched out a finger, and a clear light gradually condensed on it, and a sword light was born. However, Master Zhuansun looked at the sword light, then looked at Cheng Zhiyuan, and shook his head.
"In the art of swordsmanship, all the principles in the world can be learned here, but this swordsmanship can only be taught by others. The master is only allowed to find disciples, and the disciples are never allowed to find the master."
There was regret in Master Zhuan Sun's words: "I am delighted by my talent and beautiful jade, and I cry by the flawless white jade, but I am also annoyed that you are a swordsman from Tianmen. After all, if you learn my swordsmanship,
I have hurt you, so I cannot fully teach you this sword technique."
Cheng Zhiyuan didn't understand what he heard, but Liang Que spoke before him and asked directly: "I know that swordsmanship can only be taught by a master who sees it right. Do you want to accept Zhiyuan as your disciple?"
Master Zhuan Sun shook his head: "If I can't accept it, he can't spread my teachings."
Cheng Zhiyuan asked: "Please ask the wise man to clarify my doubts."
Master Zhuan Sun smiled: "The sword is the expression of the human heart, and it is also the carrier of Taoism, principles, or will. My principles are Confucian principles and the principles of the world. A gentleman and a villain should reach the highest level."
When you give orders, you must be strict and gentle, be deadly when you see danger, and think about justice when you see it... This is the principle of swordsmanship. You can learn my sword moves, but you cannot learn my swordsmanship."
"But the key to the sword lies in the sword theory. Your sword already has the sword theory. It is the sword theory that you came up with after your own observation, and it is not taught to you by others. If I teach you a sword, this will
A sword can overturn rivers, overturn seas, overturn lands, destroy cities, slay monsters, and reach stars... But it's all useless. It has great power but no powerful reason.
Like a paper tiger, it looks powerful, but if it encounters a truly powerful person, it will collapse at the first touch."
"The power of the sword is one part due to Qi, two parts to God, three parts to power, and the remaining four parts are all based on mind."
"When a sword is drawn, it has no matching meaning. You say it is a sword of benevolence and righteousness, but it is struck with the principle of killing. The sword and the sword principle are not compatible. If you draw the sword like this, your mind will be confused and your spirit will be confused.
The energy is chaotic, this is so powerful, I'm afraid not even two points will be left."
When Cheng Zhiyuan heard these words, he blinked his eyes thoughtfully, and suddenly remembered the scene when he first met Jing Ke on the river hills and mountains.
Jing Ke heard the Sword Master talk about swords and thought he was right. However, he went astray. The strange swordsmanship of assassinating people was not as fast as his straight killing sword. This was obviously the wrong path.
Does this mean that sword theory and swordsmanship are inconsistent?
While he was thinking about it, he saw Master Zhuansun calling a disciple whom he taught and said to Cheng Zhiyuan: "Jianzi, this is a disciple of mine. He is similar in age to you, and in terms of realm, he is in the second realm.
Ren Fa is at the level of a fourth-story building, which is almost as different as you."
"I'll let him compete with you, sword to sword, and you will understand why many people are unable to practice swordsmanship."
Cheng Zhiyuan looked at the other person. The latter was indeed young and looked like he was no older than a weakling. However, Cheng Zhiyuan suddenly thought in his heart that it seemed that sages could not see everything clearly. At least he did not see his true age.
In fact, he is not a teenager at all, but a young man in his twenties. It is just because he rode in Tianzijun and was briefly taken over by Li Changsheng, which led to some strange changes. Of course, in Cheng Zhiyuan's view,
Come on, wouldn't it be better to be younger?
He looked at the disciple and then performed the ritual.
"Can."
After the Confucian disciple saluted, he slowly drew out his sword. He was only a disciple, so a gentleman only had two of the five jade. But when he became a disciple at such an age, his talent was not as good as that of Long Su, but he should not be underestimated.
"I, please...Jianzi give me some advice."
As he spoke, he glanced at Master Zhuansun, as if to confirm whether he should be called that.
Cheng Zhiyuan did not refuse, and immediately held the Xiaoqi sword. The blood-washing sword began to tremble, but was calmed down by a gentle tap.
Master Zhuansun looked at the black sword and said with a smile: "The demon sword, but now the demonic aura has almost dissipated, but there are still some weird things."
Does a swordsman rejoice when he gets a sword?
Of course it is.
There is excitement in the battle with the clamor, so the wind is loud, the cranes are buzzing, and the surrounding dust suddenly rises, gathering like a small torrent.
Cheng Zhiyuan chewed the other person's name twice and felt that it was good to be educated. He meant the loud sound of water and wind, and the beautiful jade.
Beautiful jade floats in the water, and it feels comfortable to hear it.
He noticed the changes in the wind and dust around him, and his face became slightly solemn. He pressed the sword with one hand, and a narrow cold light flashed on the tip of the sword.
Benevolence, a person with lofty ideals and a benevolent person, does not seek life to harm benevolence, but kills himself to achieve benevolence.
That sword carried a sense of self-sacrifice and a sense of being unashamed. The moment the sword tip was raised, what Cheng Zhiyuan felt was that even if he lost, as long as he could stop the opponent for a moment,
The great benevolence of not having any regrets despite nine deaths.
The principle on that sword is called "Sacrifice life and forget death."
No, it is not the principle of swords, but the principle of people.
Cheng Zhiyuan's eyes changed and he suddenly spoke: "After understanding the principles of swordsmanship, one must sacrifice one's life and forget one's death. As Mencius said, one must do one's best with all one's heart and soul. Life is what one wants, and benevolence and righteousness are what one wants. How can we have both?
Therefore, I sacrifice my life and forget about death, and take benevolence and righteousness first, so that all the swords are in a state of no shame, abandon my bones, cut off my flesh, cut off my blood, and take my life. A gentleman is like a bell. When there is trouble, he strikes, and when nothing happens, he hides.
, Don’t seek to be famous forever, but seek to be worthy of your heart.”
After saying these words, his face was suddenly shocked. He looked at Master Zhuan Sun blankly, and the latter laughed: "The swordsman, Tianmen Swordsman, is really amazing! This is normal. He knows about you.
Sword theory, but don’t worry, he can’t use it. Because in this sword theory, although he also has the intention to sacrifice his life, he doesn’t know the principle of sacrificing one’s own life and forgetting death for benevolence and righteousness.”
"The swordsmen of Tianmen are sharp and always go forward without fail. Ou Yezi is like this and Madam Xu is like this. Therefore, if he sacrifices his life, he will lose his belief in the principle of swordsmanship. It is a big mistake for him."
"Moreover, although he gained benevolence, he could not learn benevolence, because after all, there is a difference between immortals and mortals."
Cheng Zhiyuan shook his head: "I understand. What you taught me is not the meaning of the sword, but the meaning of humanity. It is just displayed in the form of a sword. This is very different from what I have seen and understood. If you want to understand the true meaning,
, we must give up our Tianmen body, cut off all thoughts, join Confucianism, and learn from scratch, but even so, the true meaning may still be hard to come by.”
Master Zhuan Sun nodded: "You already understand, then, let's draw the sword."
His head was buzzing. After hearing these words, he came back to his senses and suppressed the excitement in his heart. He looked at Cheng Zhiyuan in front of him, took a deep breath, and was extremely serious, not daring to neglect him in the slightest.
With a five-finger grip, the tip of the sword in his hand suddenly thrust out, heading straight for Cheng Zhiyuan's head!
A man with lofty ideals will sacrifice his life!
An extremely powerful force rose from the ground, with a shining red light!
Human resources are like jade, and the fifth grade is full of reds!
But the next moment, a snow-white pear blossom suddenly appeared on the blade of the sword.
The bells and drums are long, the thunder is rapid, the wind is blowing, the green leaves are seen, and the dragon's abyss is heard shining on the sea.
The pear blossoms on a tree are like white jade.
The strong wind blew up the white pears, rolled over the flood waves, and tore apart all the sharp edges. The sword's power collapsed in an instant, and the sound of the sword was cancelled. So the sword in his hand was shattered into dust after just one encounter!
His sword draw speed is already fast enough.
