Chapter 1643: The Secret of the Stone Stairs (Part II)
What is yang? Yang is heat, light, transformation, and gasification! What is a sword? The sword is sharp, sharp, change, and forward!
In Zhou Dunyi's "Taiji Diagram", there is a description like this: Wuji and Taiji, Taiji moves and generates yang. And the sword is not out of the sheath, the edge is exhausted, it can be said to be infinite, and the sword is yang when it is unsheathed!
And what these fifty-five steps contain is the principle of the sword out of the sheath! The sword is out of the sheath, and the edge seems to exist and not exist, as if there is nothing, but at this moment, its variables have been formed. After the unsheath, there are thousands of changes! Just like the fifty-five steps that Lin Bai is standing on now, the coercion seems to exist, but as long as he takes a step forward, the sword intent is like a mountain! And this is exactly the same as the beginning of the yang.
In the world of sword cultivation, the sword can be said to be the most important thing in life. And no matter how the sword is drawn, or the sword is hidden in the sheath, there are all kinds of exquisiteness, not to mention the saying that the sword is out of the sheath. Not only sword cultivation, but even in the outside secular world, those martial artists who practice swordsmanship, the first move they learn when they practice swordsmanship is the sword starting style.
And the starting style contained in these fifty-five stone steps is, of course, much more clever than the starting style that ordinary martial artists in the world learn when they practice swordsmanship. And as far as Lin Bai feels, since these fifty-five steps are related to the number of yang, and since they contain the truth of the beginning of yang, the starting style contained in this stone step is likely to be the starting style of the sword.
And Lin Bai had no doubt about this possibility, you must know that according to what Tai A and Kun Wu said, the person who created this Spirit Sword Mountain was a real sword immortal! It's not a small-scale sword cultivator like Tai'a and Kungo, but a real sword immortal! You can fly the wind with a sword and soar above the nine heavens; Raise your eyebrows and sword out of the sheath, a real sword immortal who sweeps the ages!
How can such a starting style be simple! And how can it be simple! Without any hesitation, without any hesitation, Lin Bai closed his eyes slightly, and began to continuously calculate in his heart the principles contained in the fifty-five stone steps, and even began to combine the mysteries contained in them with physiognomy and laws, trying to learn from them.
No matter what kind of language or writing, they could not describe one ten-thousandth of the unsheath that Lin Bai felt from the stone steps at this time. Even Lin Bai himself didn't expect that on this stone step, that wisp of sword intent that could almost be ignored would have so many variables, and that appearance was as if at the same time, tens of millions of people were drawing their swords in front of Lin Bai.
There are horizontal pulls, side pulls, and the sword on the back and comes out, and so on, all of which are slowly simulated by the wisp of sword intent emanating from the stone steps. But Lin Bai knew that even though there were tens of thousands of unsheathed potentials contained in this stone step, there was only one that was truly correct, because no matter what the Dao was, it was only the only one!
And at this moment, what Lin Bai has to do is to find the only way from these inextricable changes! But this is not easy to say, and it is something that can be done in every minute and second. But for Lin Bai, time was a dispensable thing, without any hesitation, he slowly sank his mind and began to figure out the changes in the sword intent of the stone steps.
And while Lin Bai was figuring it out, Kunwu's running posture finally began to pause for a long time.
Sweat had soaked all his clothes, blurring their faces and eyes. Every step he took could be said to have consumed all the strength in his body, and even every inch of muscle, under the pressure of the sword intent, was constantly trembling, like a person who had gone through a long journey and could no longer lift a single strength.
"Can't you go any further......" Looking at the still long stone steps in front of him, which seemed to have no end, Kun Wu showed a wry smile on his face, clenched his fists, although his face was full of unwillingness, but his eyes were full of tiredness and weakness, he knew that he had reached the end of the strong crossbow, and if he continued to move forward, it was very likely that he would be suppressed into powder by the thousands of sword intents.
I don't know how many stone steps Long Cai and Tai'a have walked now, and I don't know where Lin Bai is now...... After a long silence, Kungo slowly turned his head and looked down at the smoke-shrouded mountain. But the clouds filled his view. The whole world, in his eyes, there is nothing but the water vapor that is like a fairy mist!
"I give up!" After a long silence, Kungo gasped, dripped a cloudy tear down the corner of his eye, and then said.
The words fell, as if Lingjian Mountain had sensed his mind, and several faint wisps of mist slowly rose up, completely enveloping his body, and then like a gust of wind, directly swept him down from Lingjian Mountain!
One hundred and twenty-seven stone steps! This number is not too much, not too little, but it is the end of Kungo!
At the same time, not far from Kunwu, Long Cai was also gasping for breath, and even her fingertips were twitching constantly, which showed the weight of the sword intent on her body at this moment. But under this coercion, although his body has reached the edge of almost unbearable, Long Cai's eyes are full of perseverance, and he still wants to continue to move forward.
But the stone steps were in front of her, and no matter how hard she tried, her feet did not obey the call at all, she could not lift a single inch at all, and she could not fall on the stone steps at all, so that she could go further and further. The violent pressure, like a heavy mountain, crushed Long Cai completely out of breath, making her back arched like a ripe prawn!
Whether Long Cai wanted it or not, the facts were already in front of her, and her progress had stopped. The stone steps on the peak of Spirit Sword Mountain, the unfinished route, no longer belong to her!
Just when Long Cai was panicked and helpless, feeling sad for his stop. Around her, a light water vapor rose up and slowly wrapped her, and then like a breeze blowing autumn leaves, it slowly sent her down the mountain.
"I'm not reconciled...... I don't want to go down the mountain, I want to keep walking......" Feeling the departure of his body, as well as the Lingjian Mountain that was gradually moving away in his eyes, Long Cai's eyes were full of unwillingness, his hands were helpless and weak, and tears blurred his eyes.
Spirit Sword Mountain is her only hope for revenge, only by coming to the end, only by getting the sword path inheritance passed down by the ancestor of the Sword Pavilion, can she defeat Lin Bai and avenge Ling Yun! And now that her steps have stopped, it means that revenge is impossible from now on.
But Lingjian Mountain was silent, surrounded by mist, and in an instant, Long Cai was sent to the ground, and then the clouds and mist suddenly disappeared, and returned to the surroundings of Lingjian Mountain, turning into a mist that blocked everyone's sight.
"Senior sister, you also came out. How many stone steps have you walked? Looking at the tearful Long Cai, Kun Wu spoke in embarrassment. He really didn't expect that he would be the first person to be sent by Spirit Sword Mountain, and even Long Cai might be farther away than him. This discovery made Kungo really feel like a failure in his heart.
"One hundred and twenty-eighth order......" Long Cai said gloomily, and then his eyes slowly looked towards Lingjian Mountain, and muttered: "Senior brother, why do you say that we are so poor, not only did we not get the flying sword in the Sword Shrine, but we were even driven out by Lingjian Mountain in the first place. ”
"I don't know...... Maybe it's really as he said, our kendo is wrong, that's why it's like this......" Kun Wu shook his head slowly, muttered with a wry smile, and saw that Long Cai's expression was gloomy, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Senior sister, have you ever felt that after coming down from Spirit Sword Mountain, our cultivation seems to have increased a lot. ”
"What's the use of increasing more, it's not his opponent after all......" Long Cai muttered, his eyes were firmly fixed on Lingjian Mountain, his expression was erratic, and he said slowly: "He is not a sword cultivator, but he has gone so far, this is really an irony." ”
"Senior Sister Long Cai, you are wrong, that figure is not Lin Bai, but Wei Que! Lin Bai, he is now ......" Kun Wu sighed lightly, and slowly looked at Long Cai's gaze, but as soon as his gaze fell on the mountain, his brows instantly furrowed, and his face was full of incredulity, and he continued: "How is it possible...... How could he have only walked fifty-five levels now......"
Long Cai was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then turned his head and looked at Lingjian Mountain. Sure enough, as Kun Wu said, he was in a trance just now, and he mistook Wei Que for Lin Bai, and thought that Lin Bai had walked out of more than one hundred and fifty steps! But compared to Wei Que, who had just obtained the flying sword and didn't understand anything, and had walked out of more than 150 steps, what was even more incredible was Lin Bai's current position!
Today's Lin Bai is staying at the position of fifty-five steps. And as far as the two of them could see, they had been watching for so long, but Lin Bai's figure had not changed at all, as if he had been coerced by some fear, and was confined to the fifty-five stone steps, and he couldn't take half a step forward at all.
This situation is really far from the strength that Lin Bai showed before, as if one is in the sky and the other is on the ground!
"How is this possible...... How could this be, could it be that we were wrong......" After rubbing her eyes in disbelief, Long Cai was stunned and asked, under this strange picture, she had forgotten the unhappiness in her heart, and only the unbelievable remained.
After this contact, she had already realized very clearly that Lin Bai was definitely the most clever person among them! Moreover, in terms of cultivation in the way of the sword, it is even possible that it surpasses them by a lot. But such a person is now stuck on fifty-five stone steps, a somewhat ridiculous number, which cannot but make people feel surprised.
And compared to this kind of weird picture, Wei Que has traveled one hundred and fifty levels, which has already made the hearts of the two of them unable to make any waves.
"Maybe this Spirit Sword Mountain has a spirit, and it has its own considerations, and it senses that he doesn't belong to the sword cultivator, so it will increase the restrictions on him......" After being silent for a long time, Kun Wu slowly said a guess, and then after glancing around the Spirit Sword Mountain, the disbelief on his face became deeper and deeper, and he said in a trembling voice: "Look at Tai'a, where have you come now!" ”
After hearing this, Long Cai looked up in amazement, but when he saw Tai'a's back at first glance, his expression suddenly changed greatly!
