Chapter 15 Cooking Wine and Sword
"Why did you choose me?" a gray-clothed young man asked Invincible, "Although it is my honor to join you wordless boys, but I am a self-aware person, and the things you do are out of reach for you, to be honest, I am not worthy of being one of you." β
There was a small red clay stove on the table, and the best wine was hot on the stove, and the invincible poured a glass of wine and handed it to Huo Ping, but Huo Ping shook his head, and the invincible drank it himself, and said: "I chose you because I like your swordsmanship, and you are a person who can be half my master in swordsmanship." β
"Brother Tai doesn't need to tell jokes. Huo Ping didn't have a trace of a smile, and said seriously: "The competition where you defeated Murong Mingzhu, I watched it, I really can't say anything except admiration, and it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that you are the descendant of the sword immortal, and you killed the ghost god prince of Jiangshanlou with a move 'fairy sword without a shadow', your swordsmanship is beyond the reach of the world, how can my swordsmanship enter your brother's eyes?"
Invincible's eyes were cold, and he said lightly: "Brother Huo, do you think I'm invincible a person who likes to tell jokes?" Invincible drank another glass of wine and said, "I think Brother Huo, you are a person who likes to tell jokes, right?"
"What do you mean by that?"
Invincible sneered and said, "Since you have watched the duel between me and Murong Mingzhu, can you still say the word 'admiration'? Aren't you joking? Whether you like me or not, whether you want to be a wordless boy or not, anyway, you have been transferred to the capital by the military department's conscription order, just tell me the truth, what do you think of my swordsmanship in that duel?"
Huo Ping stared at the invincible eyes for a while, and finally said: "To be honest, I can't understand your swordsmanship, or you don't use any swordsmanship at all, but a blind fight." β
"That's right!" Invincible's cold face finally showed a smile, and said, "That's what I want to hear, you may wonder, since I am a descendant of the Sword Immortal, why would I be like this?"
"Exactly. Huo Ping said: "The fairy sword is a move to set Jiuzhou, Su senior is recognized as the first person in martial arts, the first of the top ten famous swords, why do you seem to not even know a little swordsmanship?"
"Because he didn't teach me any swordsmanship. Invincible replied bluntly: " As for the trick I killed the ghost god prince fairy sword without a shadow, I can't tell you the details, except for this move, I don't even have a complete set of swordsmanship, after the martial arts conference, we wordless teenagers have experienced a lot of things, I know that there are many masters on the rivers and lakes, and my own ability has not only to be sunned, there is something big about happening in the capital, my fist and foot kung fu is also said in the past, but if it is empty-handed and the master is indeed a loss, I will only have a little swordsmanship in all weapons, and among my peers, I appreciate your swordsmanship the most, so I came to you, hoping to get your guidanceγ β
Huo Ping shook his hand and said: "I can't talk about any guidance, in fact, I am very strange about Brother Tai's swordsmanship, and I have always been puzzled in my heart, although Murong Mingzhu's personality is unbearable, but his swordsmanship is genuine, why can Brother Tai defeat him with a set of unconventional swordsmanship?"
"I was able to defeat Murong Mingzhu entirely because of you. Invincible said: "I have never fought against a sword master before, if it weren't for the competition between you and Murong Mingzhu, I wouldn't have been able to win him." β
"But I lost to Murong Mingzhu. Huo Ping was even more puzzled and asked, "I'm not his opponent, how did you come up with a way to win him?"
"It seems to me that you didn't lose to him. Invincible said sincerely: "You lost in the end because your sword is not as good as him, he has a famous sword in his hand, you are just an ordinary sword in your hand, and you can't stop his attack at all, but before that, no matter how Murong Mingzhu attacked, you never showed a trace of defeat, the sword is not slow, Zhongzheng Anshu, if I have a swordsmanship like you, when the weapons are equal, at least I will not lose a duel with others." β
"No Xu is not sick, Zhongzheng Anshu?" Huo Ping's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and said: "This is the essence of our Taixu Palace's swordsmanship, but it was broken by you as an outsider, Brother Tai is really a genius who learns swords!"
"You and I are equals, you don't have to exalt me like this. Invincible said: "When I fought with Murong Mingzhu, it was a fierce attack, but his defense was not leaky, and his swordsmanship was much more exquisite than mine, I was full of flaws, and I was stabbed by him many times, I relied on the 'August Golden Bell' body protection to get down, and then I suddenly thought about your swordsmanship, this can be stabilized, but Murong Mingzhu can't attack for a long time, so I have a chance, to be honest, if he is as steady as you, the person who lost that day must be me." β
"I see. Huo Ping's face showed a hint of relaxation, and the invincible openness and honesty finally made him let go of his vigilance, and said: "I have always been practicing swordsmanship alone, even my fellow disciples and brothers can't understand my swordsmanship, I can't imagine that it is a layman like you who really understands my swordsmanship, not a horse, invincible brother, your understanding is really high." Stretched out his hand and took a wine glass, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it in one gulp, and then said: "The sword is a very strange weapon, if the lethality is far inferior to the big sword and spear, and the difficulty of cultivation is extremely difficult, but the sword is called the emperor's weapon, the king of weapons, to be honest, many people practice swords are vassals and elegant, and they don't understand swords at all." β
"Oh?" Invincible didn't expect Huo Ping's evaluation of the sword to be like this, knowing that there must be something to follow, he poured Huo Ping a glass of wine again, and said: "Listen to me!" "Invincible is not a person who likes to please others, but in his heart he really admires Huo Ping, not only likes his swordsmanship, but also likes his kind of heavy and calm, Taishan collapsed in front of him and his face did not change his bearing, which is what he lacks, after the teaching of Mrs. Acacia, Invincible already knows when to be humble.
Huo Ping said with a smile: "Invincible brother Tai just said that you and I are equals, and you and I will meet friends with swords, so you don't have to be polite." I don't know if I'm right, so let's talk about it. In the next view, cultivating swordsmanship is cultivating people's hearts, and different people practice different swordsmanship, which is why the swordsmanship of the Oriental Sword God is lofty but difficult to resist, and can often make the opponent retreat without a fight, and the swordsmanship of the proud Qingfeng is often a move to defeat the enemy, there is no life under the sword, my swordsmanship can not be said to be the most powerful swordsmanship in the world, but the most suitable for my own swordsmanship, I regard sword practice as a training heart, that is, the unity of human sword. β
"The unity of man and sword!" Invincible was taken aback and said: "It turns out that this is the unity of man and sword, the truth is so simple, but why are there so few people who can do it?"
"Because the human heart is the most difficult to understand!" Huo Ping did not have any reservations, and said directly: "Swordsmanship is also a kind of martial arts, as the saying goes, boxing is afraid of being less strong, how many people are still practicing swords when they reach the age of knowing the destiny of heaven? Most of the people who have achieved swordsmanship are people with great wisdom, and they can understand what their hearts are like earlier than ordinary people, others don't say it, just say myself, I am a peaceful person by nature, practicing swords is not to fight with others, but a method of cultivation, swordsmanship in attacking less and defending more, and competing with others only for one' And' word,There is no desire to win, naturally nothing will go wrong.,My swordsmanship is not a swordsmanship to kill the enemy.,It's a swordsmanship that is steady and peaceful.,And the invincible brother Tai is not suitable for my kind of swordsmanship.γ β
"Can you see through my heart?" Invincible was a little surprised and asked, "How do you know that I'm not suitable for cultivating your swordsmanship?"
"Because what you want is a sword technique that can kill people!" Huo Ping didn't hide it at all, and directly broke through: "When you compete with Murong Mingzhu, I can feel your fierce murderous aura in the audience, there is no 'and' in your heart, only victory and defeat!"
"I'm not like you, I'm not a cultivator. Invincible said: "I have gone through too many lives and deaths over the years, if I am bent on peace, I will not live today, as you said, what I need is the sword technique of killing." β
"I can't teach you this kind of swordsmanship. Huo Ping said indifferently: "I don't say this because I don't think it's wrong to practice the swordsmanship of killing, in the bloody battle, the snowflakes in the capital killed by Su Jianxian and Xia Shenlong turned red, but it made the world settle down, so that more people can be peaceful, and killing to stop killing is a way in troubled times." β
Invincible slapped his palm on the table, and said with a slight excitement: "It is this truth, wicked people kill people for evil, but I kill people for good, if you want to deal with evil people, you can only use more evil swordsmanship than them to greet them, Brother Huo, in your opinion, what kind of sword hair should I practice?"
"You shouldn't ask me this question, you ask it yourself. Huo Ping was like a wise man, his eyes flashed with wisdom, and he said: "Now I understand why Su Jianxian doesn't pass on your swordsmanship, his 'October Rainstorm' swordsmanship is an invincible swordsmanship performed by him, but it is not necessary for you to perform it, he wants you to find your own heart, find a set of swordsmanship that is really suitable for you, and reach the highest level of swordsmanship' human and sword unity!"
Invincible finally understood Su Shengwen's good intentions, picked up the wine glass, looked at the blue sky outside the window, and said: "Senior Su, I know what kind of swordsmanship I should cultivate, I want to cultivate my own heart sword, it will definitely surpass your October rainstorm!"
