Volume 2 Pride Chapter 3 Three Lessons in Life

What did the first lesson teach him about a sword?

The sword, one of the ancient weapons, belongs to the "short soldier". Known as the "King of a Hundred Soldiers". Ancient swords were made of metal, long in shape, with a pointed front end, a short handle at the back, and blades on both sides. The slender and smooth form of the sword is quite elegant, and when you first come into contact with the sword, you will treat it as a supreme object, and you will treasure it every day, and fantasize about it. After a few years, I don't know if I saw too much or faded it, but I felt that it could be a spiritual symbol and an ordinary object. Symbols are given by people, you think it's just it's just it, you think it's soft and it's soft, but you can remove these artificially given spirits, it's so plain, I can use it as a clothes pole when I don't have anything to dry my clothes, I can also use it to cut watermelon when I don't have a kitchen knife, it's not disrespectful, but I think it has an extra use, it can help me solve some problems. The sword is still the same sword, the key is how you use it.

The second lesson taught him what a swordsman is?

"In the face of a powerful opponent, knowing that you are invincible, you must resolutely show your sword, even if you fall, you must become a mountain and a ridge! What a awe-inspiring feeling, what a resoluteness, what a pleasure, and what a courage! What the sword points to, invincible. This is what the swordsmen believe in is a kind of "bright sword spirit". Bright sword, about to start a war, even if you die, you have to die the way a swordsman died. Womb waste is not worthy of being a swordsman, only those who show their swords when they meet the enemy and dare to do things can be regarded as swordsmen. Follow Kenshin and understand what you're doing, you can kill one person and save ten thousand, or kill ten thousand and save one, as long as it doesn't go against your way as a swordsman. If you obey your own way of being a swordsman, then your sword will be able to exert its power in your hands, and if you lose your way of being a swordsman, no matter how much you cultivate, you will not be able to exert the original power of this sword, and the sword will be meaningless in your hands, and you will not be able to exert its power at all.

The third lesson taught him what is kendo?

In the way of the sword, there is a sword that breaks ten thousand laws, in this world, there are many different kinds of weapons, the effect is also different, practice the way of the sword, then there will be some restrictions, for example, you can't be like us to practice the way of the sound of the law, you can understand the mind of others from the rhythm of others; for example, there are some special moves and mental methods that you can't learn. Your only weapon is the sword you carry, he is your second life, you have to do the sword without leaving your body, the person is in the sword, and the sword is in the same mind, you have to fully believe in it, if you don't even believe in yourself, then no one believes in it, in other words, you believe in your sword, you believe in yourself. The way of the sword is among the three thousand avenues, the lethality is very strong, for a person who uses a sword, the sword is in hand, then heaven and earth can be controlled in the hand, a sword in the hand, dare to single-handedly challenge the whole world, if the world bears me, what does it matter if the world slaughters the world?

After the Mandate of Heaven Zhenren taught it these three lessons, he passed on the mental method and sword moves practiced by Taiqingmen to him, and said to An Yang: "There is only so much I can teach you, and this is what my master taught me at the beginning, and I will pass it on to you now, and the road to cultivation is bumpy." You have to explore slowly on your own, and on the path of cultivation, I can only give you guidance, but I can't give you answers, and there are some things that you have to find and explore slowly. "This is also the reason why Anyang did not practice the way of the qin, but practiced the way of the sword.

An Yang expressed his gratitude, knelt down and thanked the Heavenly Mandate Daoist, who was very angry when he saw this scene, and scolded directly: "Why do you have to kneel? Is it because I introduced you to the path of cultivation? That's not necessary, it's something you earned with your own efforts." If someone gives you a little favor, you will kneel, is your kneeling so cheap? You have to remember that you are my disciple, even if it is heaven and earth, are you qualified to accept your bowing? There is gold under the knees of a man, except for your parents, no one is qualified to let you kneel, and no one is qualified to accept your bowing, even if it is me, you only need to bow to me with both hands, I don't want my apprentice to be a mediocre person who only knows kneeling for a little benefit, such a person can never have great achievements and great achievements. Do you understand? That's the first thing I'm going to teach you, and there's a lot more to learn. ”

The Mandate of Heaven Dao prepared a sword for An Yang, which was originally a meeting gift for his apprentice, An Yang was happy like a child after getting the sword, and only at this time did he reflect the happiness he should have at this age, this happiness stayed for a short time, and disappeared in a flash, leaving only a serious face, and then began to practice the sword. This sword was originally a sword that symbolized his identity in Taiqingmen, and now it was given to Anyang, this sword is just a spiritual weapon, if the grade of the sword is too high, Anyang can't control it, and it is possible to become a soldier slave, so this spiritual weapon is enough for Anyang now, and the Heavenly Mandate Taoist thinks, wait for the apprentice to cultivate a little higher, and then find him a good one, so that he can exercise this life weapon. (Soldier slave: What is a soldier slave? Each weapon has its own consciousness, the higher the weapon, the stronger the self-awareness, the more you don't want to be refined by others, become someone else's weapon, so when refining into a weapon, if the refining fails, and no one protects it, then you may be eaten by the consciousness in the weapon, become a slave of the weapon, such a time will last until you die, after becoming a soldier slave, there is basically no way to rescue, only death can be liberated. )

Anyang also followed the Heavenly Mandate Daoist to practice on this cliff for two years, the number of times the Heavenly Mandate Daoist came was only a handful, Anyang saw the Heavenly Mandate Daoist a total of seven times in the past two years, the rest of the time Anyang lived alone on the cliff, the only way to this cliff is only through the forest to come here, Anyang's food is obtained from this forest, Anyang does not feel lonely, on the contrary, every day is constantly improving, I only hope that the Heavenly Mandate Daoist can see the changes in his body when he comes, Anyang is also good at seizing opportunities, every time the Heavenly Mandate Daoist comes, if there is any doubt in the practice, it is like the Heavenly Mandate Taoist to ask for advice, The Mandate of Heaven Dao people answered for him one by one, although Anyang's qualifications were mediocre, he made up for it through his own efforts, and he wanted the master to be proud of him. After staying on this mountain for so long, he will feel out of place in this world, and An Yang asked Master, "When will I be able to leave here?" ”

The Heavenly Mandate Daoist told An Yang that when you arrive at the Hammer Bone Realm, you can barely fly with the help of your spiritual weapon, and then you will be able to go down the mountain by yourself, An Yang heard that the master was trying to drive him away, and hurriedly knelt down, begging the master not to drive him away. The Heavenly Mandate Daoist said angrily: "You have forgotten how I taught you, don't kneel to others easily, have you forgotten?" An Yang said: "I dare not forget Master's teachings, in my heart, Master is equivalent to my parents, my parents have long since died, so in this heaven and earth is only Master who can kneel." Master, I don't want to leave you, my kindness has not been repaid, I would rather always be by Master's side. The Mandate of Heaven Dao said to Anyang: "I tell you that I am a person in the Demon Dao that everyone in the world fears, I kill people without blinking, you don't have a good life with me, and the people in the righteous path hate me to the core, shouting and killing me." You don't go down the mountain, you are joining an immortal sect, although your qualifications are poor, but you work hard enough, someone will definitely want you. ”

An Yang said: "I only follow the master in my life, in the eyes of An Yang, regardless of whether he is the right way or the devil's way, I only know that the master is the person who is good to me in the world, and the apprentice does not expect to live a good life, I only ask the master not to drive him away, so that he can stay by the master's side." Seeing that the apprentice was so resolute, the Heavenly Mandate Daoist said to An Yang: "Since you insist, then you follow me, if one day, you want to leave, then you leave." ”

An Yang broke through to the hammerbone realm at the age of sixteen, and the Heavenly Mandate Daoist told him about the natal weapon, and found three good swords for him, three of which are heavenly weapons, although they are the primary heavenly weapons, but there are as many as three, it can be seen that the Heavenly Mandate Daoist is very attentive, and the Heavenly Mandate Daoist asked Anyang to choose one as his natal weapon, and Anyang did not choose these three, but chose the spiritual weapon that the Heavenly Mandate Daoist began to give him, because this sword was originally used by the Heavenly Mandate Daoist in Taiqingmen to prove his identity, so this sword has the word Mandate of Heaven on it, and the Heavenly Mandate Daoist said to Anyang that these are heavenly weapons, and that one is just a spiritual weapon, if you are a smart person, you will choose heavenly weapons. If you choose a heavenly weapon, it will be of great help to your cultivation path, why do you want the most ordinary spiritual weapon?

An Yang told the Heavenly Mandate Daoist: "Master, I feel that I am used to using this sword, don't you say that only what suits me is the best, I feel that this sword is very suitable for me, and I plan to cast him into my own natal weapon." "An Yang actually lied, the reason why he chose this spiritual weapon is because there are two words "Mandate of Heaven" on the sword, this sword is used by the master, it is the symbol of the master, I will inherit everything from the master, and I will also use this sword to reach the peak of the cultivation world, and at that time I want no one in the world to dare to bully my master. An Yang insisted on choosing this spiritual weapon, the Heavenly Mandate Dao people couldn't resist him, so they could only follow him, An Yang practiced this weapon with his heart and blood, and this weapon officially became Anyang's natal weapon, and the Heavenly Mandate Dao people smelted these three heavenly weapons and became the nutrients of the spirit weapon, helping the spirit weapon to complete an evolution. After that, An Yang followed his master to the Heavenly Demon Sect to help the master deal with things, and also met the night star in the Heavenly Demon Sect.

A breeze blew and brought An Yang back to reality, An Yang held the mask, couldn't bear to be curious, and didn't know what this treasure was for, why don't I try his role first, before handing him over to the master, just do it, An Yang put the mask on his face, and a strange scene appeared, since the red mask disappeared.
