"Every progress of Shengqi is to lock in the goal and constantly surpass. However, if a person wants to jump, he must have a point of focus, if there is no way to borrow power......"

With me, a layman, who watches the excitement, Zhang Liang also came to explain the battle situation between the two sides with great interest, and I still nodded and praised the most competent listener. What's more, this duel is indeed exciting and dizzying.

Flowing clouds, following the trend, no obstruction and no lag, the realm is clear. The blue light of the light-containing sword blade flickered, erratic, clear and impossible to capture, turning into a streamer phantom around Yan Lu's body, dissipating Sheng Qi's fierce sword qi, which indeed made it impossible for Sheng Qi to find a point of focus to further exert his strength, breaking through the strange stalemate that seemed to be evenly matched forever.

"The gentleman has no dispute, the light is invisible, and he forgets without heart. The second senior brother specializes in sitting and forgetting his heart, and even if he fights with the senior brother, he has not tasted defeat. ”

"Sitting and forgetting your mind?!" was a name that really surprised me again. In the book "Zhuangzi", it is recorded that it was Confucius's favorite student Yan Hui who proposed sitting and forgetting: degraded limbs, deprecated and intelligent, and detached from form to know, which is the same as Datong, which is called 'sitting and forgetting'. Of course, this is probably just a story made up by Zhuangzi to talk to Confucius under the pretense of Yan Hui's mouth, and put forward his Taoist thoughts. Confucianism actually really has this martial art, and it is the supreme mental method.......

I have seen so many lofty martial arts here, and I have to admit that I have studied so many ancient classics as a liberal arts student, but in fact, all of them have not even had an epiphany, and these books clearly hide the secrets of earth-shattering martial arts!

"Senior Brother is not inferior to Senior Brother Zilu?"

Zhang Liang shook his head: "But I have never won." ”

I couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Never won?

"Any battle is about winning or losing, and you can't attack or defend without seeking victory. The second senior brother is just such a strange person who has no quarrel with the world. Sometimes I really don't understand why he can maintain such a peaceful and clear heart with what happened to him. ”

"Encounter?" I glanced at Zhang Liang curiously.

He just sighed lightly: "The realm of Senior Brother Yizilu, maybe the past is just a cloud of the past." ”

Although I want to gossip, the atmosphere at this time is really not suitable for talking about other people's painful past...... What's more, there are a few people here who don't have an unbearable past.

I commented seriously: "I have always felt that Senior Brother Zilu is like a glass of water. ”

"Shimizu, how do you say that?"

"Clear and unmixed, any disturbance can eventually turn into calm without leaving a trace. ”

Zhang Liangtian smiled lightly: "Yun'er really knows the second senior brother very well. ”

At this moment, the kendo hall suddenly fell silent, as if it had been interrupted by something.

A familiar figure appeared outside the door, a snow-white skirt, and a face as bright as a full moon.

"Congratulations to Princess Yuqin. ”

Everyone present stood up and saluted, and Fusu's eyebrows fluttered slightly, full of surprise, but he didn't ask more questions in front of so many people.

Yan Lu looked at the princess in a slight dazed, there were subtle changes on Wubo's face, and the light in his eyes seemed to be flowing ink, and there were faint ripples of light and shadow. He seemed to realize something, and quickly withdrew his gaze, groaning slightly, a trace of worry flashing across his face.

The princess was still gasping slightly, as if she was in a hurry and a little flustered, the faint red glow on her face had risen, she lowered her eyes and stopped looking at Yan Lu, and slowly walked inside.

I wondered why the princess was at this point, and it seemed a little too unreasonable. Not to mention that the princess should have set off back to Xianyang according to reason, there is a possibility that Fusu's trip will have an encirclement and suppression action against Confucianism, and the princess will not be allowed to follow, which can be seen from Fusu's surprised expression. Could it be that the princess knew something, so she came to Confucianism because she was afraid that Confucianism would have an accident?

After only interrupting for a short moment, Yan Lu turned around to look at Sheng Qi with the sword in his hand, and said calmly: "Wear the copper cauldron, iron sharpening, Juque." When he debuted, he was only ranked outside the two hundred, and in just ten years, he jumped to the eleventh place, and he really lived up to his reputation. ”

"Being able to cut off the bracers under the attack of Juque is fast and accurate enough. It's a pity that the power is not enough to kill people. ”

"We are only opponents, not enemies. ”

Sheng Qi asked coldly: "Is there a difference?"

The opponent is just a competitor with a sword, not an enemy who has to be killed or killed, and the final victory of the force shown by Shengqi's words is to put people to death. A few simple sentences of confrontation, if we just talk about the superiority and inferiority of the sword, it is already obvious. On the side of the empire, neither the six sword slaves nor the seven victories are people who can speak the Tao, but Fusu wants to use the theme of 'discussing the Tao with the sword', which shows his partiality towards Confucianism.

Sheng Qi let out a heavy roar, Juque slammed into the ground, setting off a dull vibration, he drew his sword and swung it, and the sword qi glowing red exploded with the force of inertia and rushed straight to Yan Lu.

Everyone was shocked by this momentum, and the princess also half got up, looking frightened and anxious. If Yan Lu makes any mistakes, I'm really afraid that the princess will do something stupid on impulse.

Ju Que's sword aura was violent, and the hair on both sides of Yan Lu's forehead flew up, but he didn't move at all, closed his eyes suddenly, and concentrated on holding his breath, as if any foreign objects had nothing to do with him, and he had nothing to distract himself from.

The sword in his hand drew a series of mysterious circles, and the phantom with light spread out layer upon layer in an instant, like a whirlpool gushing out, looking for a gap in resistance. The brilliance dazzled and engulfed the opponent's sword qi, and the light waves were silent, soft and powerful, but in the end, they were not released. But the sudden dazzling light still made Katsuchi unable to open his eyes, and he exposed his flaws in the gap between covering his eyes.

This is a good opportunity to fight back, and maybe you can defeat the enemy with one move!

Yan Lu withdrew the blade of the sword, and the strength quickly returned to subside, the aftermath was slow, the hem of his clothes turned slightly, and only the breeze of his sleeves remained. His face was still calm as usual, without waves, without the intention of winning, and he couldn't even capture the slightest emotion.

Yan Lu has never made a move, no one knows his strength, at this time he is still gentle and indifferent, just like the elegance of his away from the hustle and bustle when he strokes the qin, but it is even more lofty and unattainable.

This seemed to shock the princess as well, her eyes were condensed, and there seemed to be too many complicated emotions intertwined in her concentration, and there was even a touch of confusion at a loss.

Zhang Liang groaned: "There is no contention, no competition, in the realm, without a trace, in the void, sincerity in the middle way." ”

Such a face is so unfathomable that it is elusive.

I believe in the most delicate realm of a gentleman who has never won or lost, the 'middle way' of absolute balance.

My admiration for Yan Lu is already like a surging river, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it.

"For senior brothers, no desire and no quarrel means that there is no weakness for the other party to follow. If he has the desire to win, even if it is just a thought, does it mean that his mind is mixed with distracting thoughts and is no longer leaking?"

Zhang Liang bowed: "That's right. ”

"But this realm of nothingness seems to be very biased towards the Taoist concept?"

Zhang Liang said: "What is not biased is middle, and what is not easy is mediocre." The middle is the right way in the world, and the mediocre is the theorem of the world. The original meaning of the mean is indeed similar to Lao Tzu's 'Tao'. This realm of 'middle' and 'nothingness' and 'sincerity' is the most benevolent and non-evil for Confucianism, and natural inaction for Taoism. The Tao is natural, and the state of natural non-action is the state of the meanness of all things in heaven and earth. ”

The Book of Changes is regarded as a classic by both Taoists and Confucians, and many ideas are derived from the Book of Changes. The Book of Changes reveals the law of the development of all things and the balance of yin and yang. It is indeed not surprising that Taoism and Confucianism have similarities, not to mention that Confucius also respected Lao Tzu very much and consulted Lao Tzu many times.

I nodded, "Indeed." Uncle Xun also taught me his book "Unmasking", which mentioned the need to make the 'heart' 'empty and quiet'. Let go of all past experience, let go of all existing knowledge, break away from the 'cover' of one partiality, suspend the prejudices in your heart, and 'present all things and hang the balance in the middle'. Senior brother has done this, his heart is completely empty, transparent and clear, without covering, so that he can avoid 'deviation', maintain 'middle', and perceive the invisible but regular way to follow, so no matter how strong the other party is, he can make himself invincible with his great and clear spiritual sense. ”

Zhang Liang shook his head in agreement, and said with a smile, "Yun'er is worthy of being Uncle Xun's closed disciple, and she didn't lose face to Uncle Xun and his old man. ”

I glanced at him: "You also said that not only did you give me such a big title, but you didn't greet me when it came to something as big as a sword." ”

He looked at me with two stars, and suddenly said solemnly: "Yun'er, I believe in your strength." ”

I sighed: "Have you ever thought that if I say the wrong thing and make a fool of myself, the reputation of the most virtuous and respected person in Confucianism will be ruined on me, a woman who is difficult to support! Senior brother must be mad, and it is not too much to punish you for cleaning the library for the rest of your life." ”

"It's good to be able to clean for a lifetime. Zhang Hao shook his head with a smile, but the corners of his eyebrows that had been raised were suddenly raised with the landing point of the words, frowning slightly.

I can understand the implication of this, although he says that he believes it, but the person who makes him most uncomfortable is still me...... And the little sage village is now stormy, and there will always be a day when things are not people!

I knew where history was going, and it was a predestined decision.

And at this moment, in the face of the most dilemma proposition, has he made the final choice in his heart?

Zhang Liang noticed the strangeness of my expression, and his fingers gently brushed my cheeks as if to caress away the melancholy. He glanced at the battle situation on the field and said with a light smile: "Yun'er, it seems that this duel will have a result soon." ”
