"Do you know what a sword is?"

Before Hua Li Xiao came back to his senses, a cold question came to his ears.

They are now on top of a mountain cliff, this cliff is different from the rest of the Tianling Mountains, covered by ice and snow all year round, but full of greenery, and the wildflowers in full bloom are very pleasant, not far away, a cherry tree grows there, when the breeze blows, the branches on the outer tips gently sway, swinging thousands of petals, the faint fragrance of flowers makes people linger.

However, Hua Lixiao didn't have time to appreciate it anymore, and in the face of Yu Qianren's question, he didn't seem cramped, and after a short thought, he calmly replied:

"The sword, a sharp weapon for recklessness. ”

"Oh?"

Hua Li Xiao saw Yu Qianren, who was facing him a few steps away, turned her head slightly, but still didn't turn around completely, and could only see her beautiful half-horned moth eyebrows looking a little sharp in the wind.

Hua Lixiao didn't have too many words, but just such a short sentence suddenly made Yu Qianren have a trace of indescribable interest in him.

She was curious about his experience.

"How so?"

"No matter how sharp a sword is, if it is not contaminated with anger and blood, it is only a sharp sword after all, not a fierce sword; no matter how holy a sword is, if it is not contaminated with the fear of the enemy and not stained with the blood of the enemy, it is only a sword after all, not a holy sword; a famous sword will always be praised by the world if it is sacrificed to the sword by the thousands of souls under the blade; in this world, there has never been a sword that attracts attention without showing its face. ”

A faint light flashed from Yu Qianren's pupils.

"You should know, right? Shuangxue is my closed disciple," Yu Qianren said slowly, word by word, "That child has been practicing swords for ten years when she was sixteen years old, and when I handed her the Lanying Sword on her sixteenth birthday, I asked her the same question, and her answer was-'Sword, the first sharp weapon in the world relied on by ancient and modern knights, saints, and emperors, and when the sword is held in the hand, you should have a sword heart in your heart, and you should slash evil and evil by virtue of right and wrong. She only sees the 'light' of the sword, but you see the 'shadow' of the sword, and you are more honest than her. ”

Hua Li Xiao thought to himself, what he had just said was smooth, but he didn't feel too much, almost without thinking about the truth, maybe the conversation with the shadow that day left too deep an impression on him.

"Disciple dares to ask for advice, what does Elder Yu think is a sword?" Hua Lixiao was not inhibited, he knew that Gongqian would not let him learn the real thing.

"What is a sword? There is no real answer in the world, I have been practicing swords for more than 100 years, and I have seen countless swordsmen and famous swords, some swords are thick, so the person who holds the sword is also deep, and some of the swords are bloody, so the person who holds the sword is also ruthless, I think, 'what is the sword' question, a hundred swordsmen will give you a hundred different answers, and I think that the sword is invisible. ”

"The sword is invisible?" Hua Li Xiao secretly pondered.

"In my early years, I once visited one of the most prestigious swordsmen in the vast region, his realm, his attainments, enough to be called a sword immortal, he once said to me, the world's number one sword immortal, maybe there is no sword in his hand at all. I was surprised, since there was no sword in my hand, how could I be known as a sword immortal?And time has passed, and now, I can finally appreciate the charm that the senior said," Yu Qianren had already turned around, and there was no trace of a smile on his cold face, "You can guess why." ”

Perhaps, the sword has long been in his heart, and no matter how sharp a sword is, it can't match a sword heart. Hua Lixiao replied.

"Is this really what you guessed?" asked Yu Qianren.

Hua Lixiao shook his head, "I don't know where to start, the disciple's cultivation time is still short, and I don't have a complete understanding of the sword, but the strange thing is that some things seem to have been precipitated in my heart a long, long time ago, like a brand, I can't take the initiative to feel it, I don't even know what the next sentence I want to say is, but I can blurt it out." ”

"What belongs to you, you don't need to cling to it, if you really need it, one day, you will remember it completely. Yu Qianren said.

Hua Lixiao nodded.

"People often say that the heart of the piano is strong, but few people know why, you know?"

"The Sword of the Heart..." Hua Li Xiao groaned, he seemed to have a very good feeling for this sentence, although it was not the same, but it was also very similar.

But he thought about it for a long time, and finally shook his head.

Yu Qianren saw it and didn't say anything more, perhaps, for a child who was more than ten years old, he had already answered very well.

······“ People should have names. ”

"Birch, off, flute. ”

"Today I know that I am me. ”······

Hua Li Xiao was stunned for a moment, and something like a fragment flashed in his empty pupils, just for a short moment.

What is that?!

Don't want to, definitely don't want to, something to forget, what is it?!

"Birch Xiao?"

Hua Lixiao was stunned again, and the scene in front of him became clear, and Yu Qianren's figure called out to him a few steps away.

"The so-called Qinxin Sword Spirit, what it says, is just an attitude to live, right?" Hua Li Xiao muttered, "Only by enduring loneliness can you hold the three-foot long sword in your hand; to live with an indifferent heart, you can face the wind and frost with a fearless courage; many people can't help but cry when they listen to the sound of the qin flute, who knows that the swordsman who has fought for thousands of years can only use the sword song? Many people can't help but sigh after seeing too much blood and rain, and who knows how much loneliness the pianist who has been quiet for thousands of years, at the end of a song, how much loneliness has been dried?"

"Perhaps, the piano and the sword are the same thing, and they can't be separated, there is no qin heart, no sword spirit, only the heart of the qin and the sword spirit. ”

Yu Qianren was slightly stunned.

Is this really just a teenager?

This kind of breath, she clearly only felt in "those people".

Soaked in wind and frost and vicissitudes, and then, alone on the piano and sword wield.

"Hua Li Xiao!" Yu Qianren sensed that something was wrong with Hua Li Xiao.

The sound of a sword piercing Hua Lixiao's eardrums, Hua Lixiao only felt a thrill all over his body, and the trance of his mind suddenly dissipated, and the whole person regained his original sobriety.

Yu Qianren didn't say much, but she noticed the shadow at the feet of Hua Lixiao······

Fading, is it an illusion?

·······

"Use the swordsmanship you know best. After some arguments on the sword, Yu Qianren didn't say more, she thought that Hua Lixiao's current understanding of the sword, that is, theoretical knowledge, was enough, and there was no need to add more for the time being, and what was lacking was obviously his swordsmanship.

Yu Qianren was also surprised, as far as she knew, Hua had not been away from Xiao Xijian for a long time, and no one seemed to give him detailed instructions during this period, so where did his unique understanding of the sword come from?

There are too many secrets on him, but Yu Qianqian doesn't care about these, she only knows that in the way of the sword, Hua Lixiao is an extremely talented wizard, and that's enough.

Hua Lixiao nodded, the jade ring on his finger flickered, and the sword appeared in his hand.

"Broken!"

A flash of silver light was like a glimpse of a frightening light, slashing through the space, and the speed was extremely fast.

Instead of using his modified "Break", Hua Lixiao shot out the sword as before, and then caught it at an astonishing speed, retaining the penetrating power of the original speed.

Yu Qianren just nodded lightly.

"Do you know the ninth-level realm of the way of the sword?" asked Yu Qianren after Hua Li Xiao closed his momentum.

"The ninth-level realm of the way of the sword?"

"Actually, this nine-layer realm is not the original rules of the Heavenly Dao, but a rough conclusion reached by a sword immortal after almost penetrating the entire sword path, the first layer is swordsmanship, the second layer is swordsmanship, and the third layer is sword intent. Yu Qianren's words were loud.

"Your comprehension of the sword has entered the third layer, sword intent, from the moment you comprehend the ripples of the sword pattern. ”

Suddenly, a sword appeared in Yu Qianren's hand, a very ordinary thin sword.

Hua Lixiao hadn't realized it yet, and a sword light didn't suddenly attack, causing him to turn around and dodge.

Look at Yu Qianren again, he is holding a long sword and walking quickly!
