Hearing this, the already nervous mood of the disciples couldn't help but become more and more uneasy,

The elders of the sects also raised their eyebrows, there were a large number of people participating in the Ten Meetings this year, and it can be seen from the situation of the Painting Society that the imperial court has made temporary adjustments to the Ten Meetings, and although it is expected that the process of the Sword Society has changed, it is still not something they want to see.

After Cui Weiming heard the words of the woman in white, he couldn't help but look at Xunmu's side and said softly, "What are these guys trying to do." ”

The discussion lasted only a moment, and then fell back into silence.

Because they all want to know what the "how" of change means.

At this time, everyone realized that she was holding something in her hand, and they couldn't help but think that it had something to do with it?

The woman in white said: "I'm really sorry that I have to inform you of the temporary adjustment of the Sword Society in the future, but if the number of people is really like fighting one by one, I am afraid that the first place may not be decided in three days." So before the draw decided on the roster, we decided to try one more game. ”

I saw her lift up the things in her hands and show them to all.

The morning light fell on that thing, reflecting a faint halo,

Everyone was a little speechless, and at the same time, a question arose - how to use this thing to assess the sword?

It's something everybody knows.

An orange!

What is the relationship between oranges and swords?

Seeing the woman in white take out a fruit, the disciples of the Changming Sect were speechless, and at the same time, they all looked at Feng Xiaohan, thinking to themselves, should they eat first?

Of course, the sword will not be able to compare with the taste,

"The sword is a gentleman in the soldiers, and the sword is cultivated to a very high level, which can shake the world with majestic momentum, and can also be meticulous to tattoo flies and insects. ”

The woman in white explained to everyone: "Therefore, the sword will add test items, which is compared to peeling oranges, two breaths of time. ”

Everyone said that it was so,

Indeed, the highest embodiment of kendo cultivation is not in power, but in precision.

Throughout the ages, there have been many strong people who can break the mountains with a sword, but those can only show that their cultivation is extremely high, but they cannot represent the cultivation of the sword.

On the other hand, if a tree has a thousand leaves on it, and the swordsman stabs out a sword, he will drop all the leaves, and that is the realm of the sword.

It doesn't depend on how powerful the sword is, but how clear and precise every trace of sword qi is.

And the so-called precision refers to precision and just right, the sword qi is precisely pointed at all the leaves, just right is the minimum force that can drop the leaves, a strong point is not beautiful, a weak point can not be done.

The example given by the woman in white does exist, and the famous sword double saint did carve an orchid on the wings of a fly when it flew by, but did not damage the fly's wings at all, so that it could still fly away.

The goal of the sword cultivator is to go to the extreme in this regard,

Until it can pierce the sky, cross the autumn mood, and even cut through the sky.

The Xuanhuang sword technique left by Xuan Hong Zhenren is extremely demanding on this, otherwise it will not be used to memorize the sword spectrum, so the Xuanhuang sword is recognized as the closest sword technique to the Tao, and it is not called the strongest sword technique, which is the reason.

This is also the reason why swords and knives are similar in concept, but different.

The ultimate goal of the knife is to cut everything, even if the slightest dust debris falls in front of you, you can cut it with one sword, until you can cut nothingness, cut cause and effect, and even break reincarnation, so that it can be called the realm of the knife.

Since the Sword Guild is to be compared to the realm of the sword, it is indeed understandable to compare the accuracy of the one, not to mention peeling an orange, it doesn't seem to be a difficult task.

But when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds,

The sword has been developed for thousands of years, and there are many ways to use the sword.

However, there are swords that do not want to take the path of kendo at the limit of precision, and only pursue the supreme power of kendo.

After the woman explained the rules of the additional test, some people from the small sect immediately protested.

A middle-aged man sat up in the pavilion and said in a deep voice: "The sword does have to pursue precision, that's only the majority, may I ask my sect's heavy sword, but it has a pursuit of precision, but it doesn't focus on this, do you have to compare with other sects, even those who cultivate short swords, to peel oranges?"

The elders of the sects nodded slightly, this man is not well-known among cultivators, but what he said is indeed very reasonable,

The ruler is long and the inch is short,

The epee is also a sword, and the short sword is still a sword.

The short sword has a natural advantage in the delicate work of peeling oranges, the heavy sword is extremely heavy, and it is easy to break the armor and crack the stone, but it is troublesome to peel an apple, let alone let him peel an orange, and it is within two breaths?

The woman in white smiled and said, "Elder Tian, don't worry, the heavy sword is not good at this, of course we have also considered it, so there will be a red line on the orange of the heavy sword cultivator, just cut the sword into the orange along the red line, but it will not work if you cut one more point or one point less, or if the position is slightly deviated." ”

A sword cut into it, although the ratio is still fine, but there are a lot of variations, although it sounds more precise than peeling an orange, but their requirements also have a peel that can not hurt the orange petals, that is, can not flow out of the juice of the orange flesh, so purely in terms of precision, the heavy sword to cut the orange is slightly simpler.

The man nodded slightly, and then he was satisfied.

At this time, the elder of the Immortal Sect suddenly got up and said, "The orange peel is also thin, and the white silk outside the orange petal is also strictly speaking the inside of the outer skin. ”

At this time, everyone realized this problem, people will always leave many traces on the orange after peeling off the orange, strictly speaking, the peeled peel can only be said to be the vast majority, so whether these traces are left at all, or how many are left to pass?

This must be made clear, otherwise wouldn't it be ridiculous for someone to peel off just a thin film of the outer skin, call the rest a trace, and pass the test?

"The Ten Sessions have always been strict, and this point naturally has regulations. ”

The woman in white had a glimmer of light in her hand, the orange peel fell off, and there were not many traces on the orange flesh left, and she said: "This is the standard limit when presenting oranges to His Majesty, this is the definition, please read it." ”

As he spoke, some of his servants circulated the peeled oranges in the pavilions for the disciples to observe.

Some of the attendants came to the stone platform with thirteen baskets of oranges, placed them beside the examiner, and then retreated.

Cui Weiming took the orange and put it on the table,

Chen Yingying looked at it for a moment, shook his head slightly, and said: "Oranges are connected by skin and flesh, and they are not as easy to separate as ugly oranges that contain air inside. Look at those oranges and green leaves, obviously just picked, even with the hands to peel a little effort, with a sword to peel how difficult it is. ”

Meng'er glared at him and said, "The sour scholar has a sour smell when he speaks, what's so difficult about this, Sister Meng, I can use a knife." ”

Chen Yingying smiled bitterly and said: "My aunt and grandmother have cultivated to Gao Zhuo, and I am respectful. ”

Meng'er snorted coldly and ignored him.

The disciples of Changming stared at the orange and did not speak, deducing in their hearts that it would take a little force to cut into the orange peel and then cut off the connection between the skin and flesh.

Feng Xiaohan only glanced at it, and then continued to compete with the buns.

He Xirou didn't even look at it, using a sword to replace her hand was just a little trick that Chen Feng took her to play when she was a child, and it was not difficult.

Xu Yu thought about it, and felt that there was no problem, and couldn't help but wonder a little, why did those senior brothers make such a difficulty?

They are kendo geniuses, and peeling an orange is naturally a trivial matter, but others are not.

A disciple from the outer mountains looked at the box of fragrant oranges on the stone platform, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and thought that it was clearly the season to eat oranges, but today he was going to be tortured by it.

The woman in white said, "Please come up to the stage in turn to peel the oranges, and then give them to the examiner for review." ”
