Volume 1 Southern Regions Chapter 48 Kenshin
"It's hard to say. Bai Ze replied to Tao Hongjing's question, "I heard that Kong Zhou, the old sword immortal who was unique in the world two hundred years ago, was the so-called waste material of cultivation, but he became famous and invincible in the world. ”
"Ranye!" Tao Hongjing's eyes lit up, looked at Bai Ze, and said, "Look, since a waste material without talent can also attain the supreme heavenly way in cultivation, then the reverse principle is used to forge swords, why can't mortal iron cast the world's famous swords?"
Bai Ze suddenly realized, his eyes were shocked when he looked at Tao Hongjing, and he muttered: "This is indeed a terrifying idea, but if you think about it, there is nothing wrong with it." ”
Tao Hongjing's eyes brightened, he stretched out his hand, and dozens of swords next to the sword furnace all flew over, slowly rotating around the two of them.
"Boy, what do you say, what is the most important thing about Edgeworth?" Tao Hongjing asked him.
"Since Edgeworth, I think it should be breath. The way of heaven derives all things, and all things have breath. Cultivators, I heard that Confucianism and Taoism are all masters of hope, can observe the luck of a country, seek prosperity, and avoid disasters. Bai Ze said, "The sword also has a breath. The monk must first understand the breath of the sword, and then use his own qi as his siblings to resist the qi with qi, so as to achieve the sword. ”
"You're right, but you're not right. Tao Hongjing said, pointing to the bladeless sword on Bai Ze's waist, and asked him: "You explained why the monk can only drive things away when he reaches the other shore, but let me ask you, you are only in the sea of suffering now, and you may be able to resist this sword?"
Bai Ze was stunned when he heard this, nodded and said, "Yes." But that's because I have a pact with the spirit of the sword. ”
"Let me ask you again, what is the sword spirit?" Tao Hongjing asked again.
"What is the sword spirit?" Bai Ze was stunned, unable to answer for a while, and asked: "If the sword spirit is a creature, she is different from flesh and blood. If the sword spirit is a dead thing, but when she draws the sword, she is very agile. It's really confusing, I don't know what the teacher understands?"
"If you want the old man to say, the sword spirit is actually the sword heart. Tao Hongjing said, "Do you know that everything in this world has a heart." The Tao of Heaven is ruthless, but the Tao is sentient in all things. Every grass and tree, every stone and sand has its heart. ”
"The sword spirit is the sword heart?" Bai Ze suddenly realized, clapped his hands and said, "Teacher, this solution is really mysterious!"
"So, you can resist the sword, it seems that it is because of the contract with the sword spirit, but in fact, you have mastered the sword heart of this sword. Tao Hongjing said, "Therefore, the most important thing in the sword is not the imperial qi, but the clear heart." Only when you see the heart of the sword, can you achieve the real sword, the sword with qi, and the Dao technique. ”
As he spoke, Tao Hongjing stretched out his hand and pointed, and a long sword broke away from the sword formation and flew into his hand. The old man held a sword in his hand, stretched out his hand and flicked it, the sword sounded clear, and the blade shook endlessly.
Bai Ze remembered what Xie Xuan said that day, he killed people with his sword, gathered qi with his middle sword, condensed his mind with his upper sword, and reached his sword idealism. Now the sword heart that Tao Hongjing is talking about coincides with Xie Xuan's fourfold realm of swords.
"It is said that people's hearts are unpredictable, but the sword heart is simple. Tao Hongjing threw the long sword in his hand into the sword array, and with another finger, the group of swords returned to the sword furnace one after another, "Boy, if you want to achieve supreme swordsmanship, learning to forge swords with me is indeed a great way." Because in this world, no one knows the sword heart better than the swordsmith. ”
"Dare to ask the teacher, Kenshin, how to find it?" Bai Ze asked.
"When you truly become a swordsmith, you will surely understand what Kenshin is. Tao Hongjing stood up and walked towards the sword furnace, "Now, even if I tell you, you kid won't understand." ”
Bai Ze was embarrassed.
......
The Castle Lord's Mansion, the Breeze Garden. Mu walked into the courtyard with the wind, and the Supreme Spiritual Sense was amazing, and he immediately smelled a faint smell of blood in the air.
Mu was startled by the wind, this is the residence of Chengguo Gong and the sixth princess, and it is so bloody, could it be that the figure of the Marquis of Heyang moved quickly and knocked on Zhao Dun's door.
"Enter. Zhao Dun didn't stop him, Mu pushed the door in with the wind, and suddenly felt that the smell of blood was stronger, and Zhao Dun didn't seem to have any external injuries, so it could only be caused by internal injuries that caused him to vomit blood.
Zhao Dun was dressed in wide clothes, his luck was adjusted for a while, he got down from the bed, and said to Mu Suifeng: "Suifeng, you came to me early in the morning, what's the matter?"
"When the Grand Duke met yesterday, I noticed that there was something wrong with your body, but I didn't know that your internal injuries were so serious, could it be relieved by vomiting blood and removing blood stasis?" Mu Suifeng said.
Zhao Dun motioned for Mu Suifeng to sit down, and the two sat at the square table in the room, and the Grand Duke personally poured tea and said, "I didn't want Ling'er to worry, so I pressed the injuries in my body all the way." Now that he has arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, he naturally has to vomit blood and dispel blood stasis, and his luck has healed. ”
"I just don't know, I can hurt the Grand Duke, what is the origin of that person?" asked Mu Suifeng.
"It doesn't hurt to tell you. Zhao Dun drank tea and said, "That assassin comes from an extremely mysterious force in the rivers and lakes, the Blood Shadow Building. When I was younger, I was obsessed with sword training and walking the rivers and lakes, but I had several encounters with the assassin. Speaking of which, you should also know that person's name is Huang Laoxi. ”
"Blood Shadow Mansion Yellow Evil Sword?" Mu Suifeng gasped, how could he have heard of this person's name, three years ago, he assassinated a prince in the Song Kingdom, and with the strength of the Supreme Second Realm, he fought with the master of the Tianzun Realm in the prince's mansion, and finally killed the Tianzun master whose realm was higher than his realm by strange means, and destroyed the prince and the prince all over the night.
When this incident came out, the Song State was furious, and the lord of the country ordered a search of the whole country, vowing to break the Yellow Evil Sword into ten thousand pieces. But since then, the Yellow Evil Sword has disappeared. Many people guess that in that battle, he killed the master of Tianzun, and he was seriously injured and died soon.
Now Zhao Dun said that the assassin of Liu Ying's assassination was Huang Laoxi, and it seems that the Huang Evil Sword not only did not die, but his cultivation was much more profound.
After all, the name of Zhao Dun of the Infinite Sword is not comparable to that of the Ordinary Heavenly Venerable. He is alone, even if he joins forces with the Three Days, if it is not for extraordinary means, no one will be able to keep him if he wants to leave.
"It's him. "The Grand Duke didn't want to say much about how he was injured, although it was the Yellow Evil Sword who used a treacherous plan, but after all, this was still his careless mistake," However, the Yellow Old Evil didn't get any benefits. was beaten all over his body by my Wuji Daogang, and he did not recover in ten days and half a month, and he was no different from a wasted person. ”
Mu Suifeng breathed a sigh of relief and asked Zhao Dun: "It's just that this Huang Laoxie is also a master of the Blood Shadow Building, ask him to do it, ordinary people can't afford to pay the price just by paying it." In the eyes of the Grand Duke, who is the driving force behind Huang Laoxi?"
"Since I returned to the temple ten years ago, I have not walked in the rivers and lakes for many years. Zhao Dun calmly analyzed and said: "The driving force behind the Yellow Evil Sword must come from the temple. ”
"The Yan Dynasty, the one who regards the Grand Duke as a thorn in his side, except for Situ He Zongtang, is the only one. Mu Suifeng sighed, "I heard that before the Grand Duke left Handan, he saw the Qintian Prison Supervisor, presumably the things of the year, the Prison Supervisor has probably already told you the truth, right?"
"It doesn't matter what the truth is. Zhao Dun didn't mention it, but said: "One thing is absolute, that is, no matter whether He Zongtang or my nephew who is behind the assassination is the driving force behind the assassination, they mean very clearly, that is, let me leave Handan, and never go back." ”
"What does the Grand Duke think?" Mu Suifeng asked him, "Could it be that the Grand Duke really can't bear to see him act recklessly and recklessly, and make the people miserable in this Great Yan world? He is mediocre, and the queen of the main palace does not want to favor a singer and dancer, and even be named a princess! The power in the court is controlled by He Zongtang and Wang Yong. Just a few days ago, the superintendent of the imperial history Qida was beaten to death on top of the main hall! Zida has always been upright, but now that he is dead in the main hall, all the civil and military officials know who is doing it. But so far, no one has come forward, which is enough to show that these two people have controlled the Great Yan Dynasty!"
"Then what does the Marquis of Heyang think, what should this king do?" Zhao Dun looked at Mu Suifeng's eyes and asked him.
"The northern dragon is exhausted, and the southern dragon is prosperous. Mu Suifeng said, "This is the original words of the prison official and me, what this sentence means, I think the Grand Duke knows better than me." ”
Zhao Dun was silent, remembering what the Qintian Supervisor was saying to him in Handan City before leaving, "The dragon qi in the north is already at the end of the strong crossbow, and the true dragon should be in the south." ”
......
When there was a knock on the door, Bai Ze was cooking on the fire in the kitchen, and went to the street to buy a pot of good wine, ready to have two glasses of lunch with Tao Hongjing.
"It's coming, it's coming. Bai Ze went to open the door, but he didn't expect that the person who came was the silver knight Lu Zheng.
"Is that you?" Bai Ze invited him in.
"Young man. Lu Zheng was dressed in white, his face was still pale, obviously his injuries had not healed, and when he entered the door, Bai Ze hurriedly invited him to sit down and poured tea for him.
"In the Dushan that day, I am still grateful to the young man for breaking the siege. Lu Zheng said, took out a cheat book that looked quite old from his arms, and put it on the stone table, "Lu Mou has nothing to thank, seeing the young man wearing a sword, he must be intoxicated with swordsmanship." It just so happened that my father had a chance in his early years and got a book of swordsmanship cheats, which was given to Shaoxia today, and he was grateful, and I hope that Shaoxia will not shirk. ”
"Well, well, then I'm going to be disrespectful. Bai Ze said, holding the swordsmanship cheats in his hand, and looking at the name, it was "Dahe Sword Intent".
"His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is also cultivating the way of the sword, once took a look at this book, and was particularly good at a rolling sword style in the cheats, and the sword move came out, and the sword qi was rushing, like a long river. Lu Zheng said.
"Oh?" Bai Ze was interested, looking through the cheats. Mu Chen's one-handed rolling sword style, he really saw it yesterday, the sword qi is endless, it is indeed a stunt.
Lu Zheng saw that he was fascinated, and he didn't say much at the moment, so he was about to leave, saying that the injury had not healed and it was inconvenient to stay longer. When his injuries are healed, he will come back and have a few drinks.
Bai Ze didn't stop him at the moment, he personally sent Lu Zheng out, threw the rice in the kitchen and cooked it himself, and couldn't wait to hold the cheats and flip through them.
After this experience, Bai Ze's first feeling was that his cultivation was too low, and the second feeling was that he didn't have many moves to deal with the enemy. Now Lu Zheng is really sleepy and sends pillows, and a copy of "Dahe Sword Intent" just solves Bai Ze's urgent need.
