Chapter 124: Talking about the Tao with a sword, two rituals

Zhang Liang had the audacity to ask, and I hope that the son will agree. [ Sui _ Dream ] novel www.mะตng.lฤ" Zhang Liang said.

Fusu bowed slightly: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." โ€

"If you meet an ancient sword, you will see a gentleman. Zhang Liang wanted to consult with these brothers who were in charge of the Eight Swords of the King of Yue. โ€

"Six Sword Slaves. A trace of surprise flashed in Fusu's eyes, but he didn't make a statement, just looked at Zhao Gao, as if he could let him decide.

Zhao Gao rolled his eyes and asked the Six Sword Slaves, "What do you think?"

The six sword slaves exchanged glances, and finally the one standing in the middle walked out.

"Your Excellency is Brother Chaos?" Zhang Liangzuo said with a greeting.

The chaotic god held the hilt of the sword in his hand, and he was menacing: "Do it." โ€

Zhang Liang said without hesitation: "The sword can carry the will, can be clear, since the purpose of this competition is to discuss the Tao with the sword, why don't we first introduce the ancient sword that each other wears." โ€

The chaotic god didn't pay attention to Zhang Liang's mention at all, and drew his sword and waved, and the sword was tense.

Zhang Liang smiled disapprovingly: "Under the sword, the name is Ling Xu." Thanks to the comments of the famous swordsman of Chu State, the wind and beard, the empty valley is in the wind, and the world is empty. Ranked tenth in the sword spectrum. โ€

A trace of contempt flashed at the corner of Chaoshen's mouth: "The tenth sword spectrum, it's amazing, let's do it." โ€

"Brother Chaos's sword seems to have a very simple origin, since it's about swords, why don't you introduce it too?"

"What?" Chaos was a little stunned and a little speechless.

At this time, the shadow guard suddenly had something to report, and he whispered to Fusu's side for a while. Then Zhao Gao was also called to Fusu's side and solemnly explained a few words. I know that this means that Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang have already acted, and today they took advantage of the help of Su to come to the Little Sage Village, and the guards of the Tooth Devouring Prison were weaker than usual, and rescued the thief and the shopkeeper Ding. On the Confucian side, there is a situation in the Tooth Devouring Prison, and the Six Sword Slaves have to go back to defense, and they can also transfer the power of the empire in the Little Sage Village.

"Brother Chaos, please introduce me. โ€

The chaotic god said impatiently: "This sword is called the chaotic god." โ€

"I've heard of this sword below, can Brother Chaoshen tell me more about its origin?"

"There's nothing to say, let's do it. The sword in the hand of the chaotic god was under the guise of Zhang Liang, and he put on a posture of imminent war.

"No, I just wanted to ask King Yue Bajian. However, the famous sword in the hands of Brother Chaoshen is the only one among the six of you that does not belong to the Eight Swords of King Yue. If it's not extraordinary strength and great background, how can you be among them?"

The chaotic god had completely lost his patience, and raised his sword to point directly at Zhang Liang, and he was almost one point away from stabbing into the chest.

He whispered, "Don't you just move your mouth?"

I pinched the sweat in my palms, Zhang Liang talked so much with a swordsman who didn't touch the ink at first glance, it was strange not to provoke the other party. On the other hand, Gongsun Linglong, who looked like a star chasing worship as soon as Zhang Liang came on the field, was also discolored, and his face was pale and frightened. I sometimes don't understand how much of Gongsun Linglong's admiration and appreciation for Zhang Liang is true and how much is false, and now it seems that there are more real than fake!

The sword had arrived, Zhang Liang did not move, and continued to calmly continue to drag the text: "The sword is like a gentleman, the victory or defeat is small, and the argument is true." If you don't ask about the indiscriminate situation, wouldn't it be against the righteousness of the sword set by Gongzi when they meet. If I don't care about the Tao and just work hard, I can admit defeat now. He looked sideways at Fusu and said respectfully, "I don't know what Gongzi thinks." โ€

"It's a good one not to work hard, just to talk about it. Fusu's eyebrows rose with a hint of awe, "The ovary is indeed eloquent, you seem to know a little about this chaotic god ancient sword, why not say it here." โ€

"This sword has an extraordinary origin, and there are clouds in the Confucian patriarch's discourse, and Zibu is silent and strange and chaotic, which mentions this sword. Its original meaning refers to the person who cultivates, the way of governing the country, following the law of heaven and earth, valuing people and people's livelihood, and not talking about strange and divine things. This sword was originally cast by the king of Yue Goujian, with a white horse and a white ox to sacrifice the god of Kunwu, after casting, it is indeed sharpened iron like mud, carrying wind and thunder, the power is incomparable, and the king of Yue loves it. The following year, the king of Yue sent troops to attack Wu, and finally was defeated, and the sword also fell into the hands of the king of Wu. After the king of Yue, he tried his courage in lying on his salary, and finally lost his shame. Therefore, the meaning of the sword is ominous, so it was renamed Chaoshen, and another famous teacher was found, and then eight swords were cast. Therefore, although the chaotic god is a famous weapon of the king of Yue, it is not included in the eight swords. โ€

Unexpectedly, the sword of the chaotic god is also related to Goujian, the king of Yue. The king of Yue wanted to send troops to attack Wu when he was in mourning. Fan Li persuaded: The soldiers are also murderous weapons, the fighters are also against morality, and the fighters are at the end of the matter. Conspiracy against morality, good use of murder weapons, try to be at the end, God forbids it, and the doer is unfavorable. Goujian, the king of Yue, did not listen to the advice, and finally ended up as a slave. The origin of the sword of the chaotic god is mentioned at this time, but it is also very appropriate, and it invisibly conveys such a meaning, like to use murder weapons, this is an inferior thing that betrays morality, and it will definitely be opposed by the emperor of heaven, which is absolutely unfavorable. And Zi Bu is silent, and he is confused, so he is not alluding to the Yin and Yang family.

Fusu said quietly: "I didn't expect this sword to have such a history, Fusu has been taught." โ€

After listening to Zhang Liang again, he asked with a hint of impatience: "Are you done with the sword?"

Zhang Liang nodded: "Yes." โ€

"Can you do it?"

"Not yet. Zhang Liang said with a smile, "I just asked Gongzi to ask you about the brothers who are in charge of the Eight Swords of King Yue, referring to..." โ€

As soon as the atmosphere froze, everyone was a little surprised and looked at each other.

Why did Zhang Liang single-handedly pick up six people so flamboyantly?

"I can do it alone, you're not qualified enough for the six of us to shoot together. The chaotic god was angry, and his lips were like iron.

"Of course it's not just me, it's two. โ€

"Who else?"

Zhang Liang raised his hand and pointed at me: "There is also this, Master Xun's closed disciple." โ€

I panicked in my heart, and sure enough, I had a hunch that I was right, and now I was pulled onto the thief ship by Zhang Liang. All eyes in the hall were focused on me, and I seemed to be shaken by countless flashing lights. The six sword slaves did not cut, Zhao Gao's exploration, Li Si's hesitation, Gongsun Linglong's indifference, and of course, Fusu's expression of surprise and wavering for a moment. And the title of Xunzi's closed disciple really made me feel empty.

Chaoshen said coldly: "She?"

Zhang Liang ignored the confusion of the gods, and said with a light smile: "The Confucian Liangyi swordsmanship is based on the gossip of the I Ching, and it is the swordsmanship of the two of them that combines rigidity and softness. And I heard that the six swordsmanship is exquisite, the six are one, and the formation is amazing, if it is taught, it is an honor. โ€

At this time, the disciple had already given the Chengying Sword, and I forcibly took the sword calmly and walked to the middle of the field to stand still. It was the first time to be pushed to the forefront like this, and the distance of a few steps was really difficult, but Zhang Liang's words have been exported, and if I dismiss this foreign appearance, it is a bit big, so I can only accompany it to the end.

"Since Mr. Zhang Liang insists on asking for advice, why don't you teach them a lesson. The corners of Zhao Gao's mouth were almost invisible and cold, and what shot straight into him was a deep probing gaze.

"Everyone, please slow down, all the swordsmanship with the cooperation of many people has its exquisite formation and its unique meaning, why don't we discuss the Tao first, solve the formation with each other, and then compare the sword?"

"Why waste time talking. The leader of the Six Sword Slaves said coldly, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

"It's really just. Fusu suddenly straightened up, cutting off the confrontation between the two sides. His face sank like water, and he turned his gaze to Zhang Liang with doubts and accusations.

Fusu seemed to be very dissatisfied with Zhang Liang for pulling me on the field, but Zhang Liang had good reasons, and Fusu was indeed not suitable to raise any objections.

Zhang Liang bowed respectfully to Fusu and glanced at me again. I looked at him and nodded, with a sly look on his face.

I sighed deeply in my heart, weighing that although it was a sword contest this time, it was indeed the main thing that was talking about the Tao, and what kind of Tao did he want to hear according to Fusu's temperament? In the final analysis, no matter what he said, it must be to cater to Fusu's proposition, and it is always right to make a low-key and implicit sycophant, and there is one more possibility for the other party to eliminate suspicion of Confucianism.

I quickly sorted out my thoughts, as a student of Xun Fuzi, who was known for his strictness, I could barely get a brush or two at a critical time.

"Fu Xi opened the sky with a painting. Confucius said: My way is consistent. This one is the common Tao of all things, Tai Chi. It is easy to have Tai Chi, which is the birth of two instruments, two instruments, one yin and one yang. Yang is a continuous horizontal, Yin is a disconnected two horizontal, together, Yin and Yang are 'benevolence', with benevolence as the body, all things under the heaven and earth, not only can be endless, but even enough to promote all things. This is the essence and foundation of the Liangyi swordsmanship. โ€

"Yin and Yang are virtuous, and benevolence is benevolence. Very insightful. Fusu's expression softened a little and nodded approvingly.

Zhang Liang continued: "Qiankun, the door of its change. Let's demonstrate the Qiankun formation first, and ask you to give us advice. โ€

The Qiangua and Kun hexagram have not only practiced with Zhang Liang many times, but Yan Lu also gave a lot of guidance yesterday, and there was nothing wrong with the sword dance this time. And those who have never seen the Chengying Sword are naturally puzzled and inexplicable eyes, which I have long been used to, and automatically ignore this rather dazzling gaze. And what makes me a little strange and has to pay attention to is that Master Xiaomeng, who has always been cold as frost and has not had the slightest fluctuation in expression, actually looked at me a few meaningfully when I was dancing the sword.

"The Liangyi Sword Technique really has its own merits, I don't know what the mystery of this formation is?" asked Fusu.

I replied, "There are columns, and Yi is in the middle." Dry is the yang, the beginning of all materials, is the domination of the sky. However, it is bound to be difficult to regenerate all things with pure masculine virtue and not femininity. On the contrary, the kun hexagram is feminine and smooth, seemingly quiet, but it has the virtue of squareness, and all things can rely on it to flourish and grow. Qianyang is used from the beginning and does not dare to be the first, Kunyin bears and then ends, Yin and Yang are harmonized, rigidity and softness are mutually reinforcing, so that they can last for a long time, and it is difficult to find flaws. โ€

Xunzi's class is indeed not in vain, I worked hard to organize advanced language to explain the Liangyi swordsmanship as mysterious as possible, how to raise the style, not too much to lose Master Xiaomeng's lofty appearance lines. Fusu nodded with a look of understanding on his face, and he wanted to implement benevolent government, so he naturally understood the implication of masculinity and femininity. And the Six Sword Slaves seem to have been made speechless by my dragging, and their faces are so gloomy that people don't want to look at them, as if they want to come up with a sword and tell me to shut up.

Zhao Gao said suddenly: "This sword of Madam Zhang seems to be very unusual. Legend has it that Jiang Ziya gathered the three talents of heaven, earth and man in the Chengying Sword to help the King of Martial Arts to cut down, and then there was no trace. Could it be this sword?"

"CRRC is very knowledgeable, and it is. Zhang Liang said.

Zhao Gao's tone suddenly became cold: "But as far as I know, this sword is a sword in troubled times, and its meaning is ominous." โ€

Zhang Liang smiled faintly and said calmly: "The small is hidden in the wild and the big is hidden in the city." The world is stable, and the sword of the troubled times can be hidden in the city without a sharp future, so why bother to hide in the wilderness, for fear that people will find it?"

Mr. Zhang Liang is right. Zhao Gao smiled secretly, glanced at the six sword slaves, and ordered, "Go and solve the formation." โ€

"Words are unfounded, weapons are ruthless, sir, be careful. As soon as Zhengang's words came out, the sound of the sword breaking through the air had already sounded.

"Yun'er is blocking the front, and the others are here. โ€

Before Zhang Liang's words were finished, a murderous aura had already struck from behind him, and this murderous sword should be aimed at Zhang Liang. And before I could finish digesting his words, three cold sword lights were already speeding towards me.

"Stop!" a hurried and angry voice sounded decisively, the order from Fusu, who stood up suddenly.

Everyone was stunned, the sound of weapons colliding suddenly froze, there was a strange silence, and the low atmosphere overwhelmed the ground.

One of the six sword slaves was blocked by my scabbard, and one sword was dodged by me and stopped at the side of my neck. I looked slightly sideways at the hole on the left, the sleeve of my shirt had already been cut, and the skin had touched the coldness of the blade but not penetrated, the sword that was enough to hurt me was able to withstand Zhang Liang's Ling Xuan Sword.

The thought flashed, and a chill seeped into the spine. Zhang Liang's unsheathed sword blocked the loophole on my left, so wasn't he completely exposed to the enemy's murderous attack?

"It seems that we are no match for you. โ€

Zhang Liang's voice sounded smoothly and broke the silence, calm and with a hint of sharpness. I took a deep breath, but fortunately he was fine......

Fu Su said in a deep voice: "Ofan, your sword is no less powerful than a murder weapon. And Ziyu is worthy of being Mr. Xun's closed disciple, quite insightful. โ€

Zhang Liang did not feel the slightest cramped, and said calmly and clearly: "We are willing to admit defeat." โ€

Zhang Liang and I were completely controlled by the Six Sword Slaves, and when I moved, I touched the blade, and I couldn't see his positive situation when I turned my back to Zhang Liang. As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw that Fu Su looked at the Six Sword Slave with a somewhat angry expression, his eyebrows tightened and he thought about it slightly, and judged: "This one is a draw. โ€

Everyone was dumbfounded, and they were quite surprised by this result. But I believe that this result is not what Zhang Liang expected, Fusu emphasized from the beginning that it is not a gentleman's etiquette, and the six sword slaves not only have the upper hand on the sword, but also show the killing spirit compared to the sword, Fusu will naturally be dissatisfied, and the judgment of the draw is also in line with his gentle heart.

Zhao Gao glanced at Fusu's face, and replied, "Yes." The Six Sword Slaves retreated. โ€

The chaotic spirit walked past Zhang Liang's side and snorted coldly: "This time it is Gongzi who is present, do you still have a chance next time?"

Zhang Liang just raised his eyebrows and smiled very lightly. Only then did I notice a blood mark on his neck, although it was not long, but the blood had already flowed down and stained the edge of his shirt red.

"Are you alright?" I frowned, my voice unconsciously weak. Why does this Zhang Liang always love swords and go sideways, which makes people worry about him!

"It's fine. A light smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, as if to reassure me not to worry.

I nodded, and turned back to meet Fusu's gaze. Looking at each other, his eyes flashed, and his face was so cold, faintly setting off a subtle embarrassment. His somewhat abrupt reaction just now had already made the people present a little puzzled and confused, and the atmosphere was inexplicably a little cramped at this time.

Zhao Gao seemed to be solving the siege and seemed to be teasing: "I have heard that Mr. Zhang Liang's wife is talented and moral. is also a close friend with Princess Yuqin, it is really better to hear than to see, and it is fortunate to meet. โ€

A trace of unhappiness flashed on Fusu's face, he cleared his throat lowly, put away the different colors in his eyes, and instructed Zhao Gao Surong: "You let them go." He sat down again.

"Yes. Zhao Gao explained a few words to the six sword slaves, and the six sword slaves agreed, and walked out of the kendo hall, and the footsteps quickly disappeared outside the door.

"Our skills are not as good as others, all because of the generosity and kindness of the son, the style of the king, Zhang Liang worships. Zhang Liang bowed deeply, respectfully and humbly, but people could not feel the slightest hint of lowly gentleness and softness.

Fusu's expression was serious and he bowed slightly, his eyes stopped on my arm, and he wanted to ask but hesitated to ask.

Although the sleeves of his shirt were cut, Zhang Liang only had a shallow abrasion when he blocked the sword, and I shook my head slightly in response to the inquiry and concern in his eyes

Fusu looked a little relieved, turned to look at Zhang Liang, his face was full of majesty, and said word by word: "Last time, I learned archery with Mr. and was quite taught, Mr. Zhang Liang first followed the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat sword wounds, and later I want to talk to Mr. alone and talk about it." โ€

Fusu said solemnly, although he was an invitation, there seemed to be a faint smell of gunpowder mixed with it.

Zhang Liang lowered his head and couldn't see his expression buried in the shadows clearly, but I still let me catch the arc of the corners of his mouth that stiffened for a moment.

My heart was shocked, Fusu's trip was obviously about swords, but in fact, he was investigating Confucianism, what was the purpose of his meeting with Zhang Liang alone?
