002 On the Sword
At the foot of Wuliang Mountain, the fight between Lin Heng and Zuo Guangdou ended, the two stood in two directions, Lin Heng shook the long sword slightly, and shook off the two drops of blood at the tip of the sword, opposite him, there was a trace of blood between Zuo Guangdou's neck, and the blood mark was not deep, that was because Lin Heng left his hand.
"The fast sword Lin Heng is really extraordinary, it's me who lost!" Zuo Guangdou seemed to have aged a lot in an instant. Perhaps, he thought that he would lose, but he didn't expect to lose so easily, only thirty moves, in fact, he lost in the eleventh move, but he was unwilling, so he fought hard with Lin Heng, but the result was still the same, he not only lost, but was also left with a permanent scar.
Lin Heng put away his long sword, turned around and looked at the two of them lightly, and said, "You didn't lose to me, you lost to your own sword!" ”
More than ten years ago, the virtual image of a human figure without a sword suddenly appeared in the Wuliang Houshan, and it was turned into an immortal dancing sword by the Wuliang Sect. From that time on, most of the people in their sect were practicing the immortal sword dance, but their own swordsmanship was put down. Others may not know what is going on with Lu Dao, but Lin Heng knows Lu Dao, it is Wu Yazi and Li Qiushui dancing with a sword, how can the swordsmanship of the Carefree School be so easy to learn.
Looking at the martial arts of the Xiaoyao School, all of them need the support of high and profound internal strength, since the swordsmanship is danced by Wuyazi and Li Qiushui, it is naturally profound, if it is not profound, it is a swordsmanship that dances and plays, it is not as good as the immeasurable swordsmanship, they go to learn the swordsmanship that is not as good as the immeasurable swordsmanship, how can the swordsmanship not retreat? Moreover, when they give up their own sect's swordsmanship, it is equivalent to giving up their own sword, how can such martial arts improve?
Zuo Guangdou didn't understand this, he looked at Lin Heng a little blankly. Lin Heng shook his head, he didn't mean to explain, but Zuo Guangdou paid attention and said loudly: "Please also ask Brother Lin for advice!" ”
Zuo Guangdou's words were respectful, because he also found that his swordsmanship had not improved over the years, he thought he was old at first, but then he imagined that he was not too old, less than fifty. If he doesn't progress at such an age, he naturally can't stand it. This made him drill the tip of the horns and work harder to study what immortal dance sword. Today, he competed with Lin Heng, but what he used the most was his immeasurable sect's swordsmanship, as for the so-called immortal dance sword, he didn't understand it thoroughly, and he didn't dare to take it out to show his eyes, during which he also thought about using it, but Lin Heng's swordsmanship was too fast, and he didn't have a chance to convert his swordsmanship at all.
At this time, Lin Heng's sentence "You lost to your own sword" shocked him. He knew it. Lin Heng must have known the reason why his swordsmanship could not grow, so he put down his body and spoke to Lin Heng in a pleading voice.
Sighing, Lin Heng said, "What is the most important thing for you to know that people who learn swords?" ”
"This ......" Zuo Guangdou was stunned, his face was hesitant, he didn't know how to answer, and Zuo Zimu on the side was also inexplicable, completely unaware of why Lin Hengwei asked like this, when he wanted to open his mouth to answer. found that he couldn't answer Lin Heng's question, and he was stunned all of a sudden.
Lin Heng smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Those who learn martial arts, in addition to practicing diligently. You also have to have confidence in yourself and the martial arts you have learned. The same is true for those who learn swords. Since you want to practice swords, you must believe in the sword in your hand and believe in your own swordsmanship. In the fight just now. Your sword has been shackled several times, unlike a situation that would occur in an Infinite Sword Sect. You're doubting your sword! Doubt your swordsmanship! ”
Rumble! Lin Heng's words really knocked on the door in Zuo Guangdou's heart, and he figured it out at once. What kind of immortal sword dance that I have learned over the years, isn't it just that I doubt that my sect's swordsmanship is not good? He not only doubted the swordsmanship of his own sect, but also doubted the sword in his hand, how could such a person still have progress?
As soon as he figured out this question, Zuo Guangdou's face was full of loss, he didn't expect that after practicing swords for more than 40 years, he was not as good as a teenager, which is really ridiculous!
"Ha Lu Ha ......" he laughed, but his laughter was full of loss and hatred for himself. What have you done for so many years, and what are you doing for?
Zuo Guangdou asked Cangtian speechlessly, his pale face showed a hint of flushing, and with a whoop, he spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person fell to the ground softly.
"Father......" Zuo Zimu was shocked, and immediately stepped forward to support Zuo Guangdou, with a frightened face.
Zuo Guangdou shook his head and said weakly to Zuo Zimu: "I'm fine." Then he said to Lin Heng: "Thank you Brother Lin for your guidance, Zuo Guangdou is grateful." Brother Lin, Zuo Guangdou still wants to ask again, what do you think the swordsmanship should be? ”
He shouldn't have asked this sentence, because this is a person's understanding of the sword, which belongs to the inheritance, but he didn't ask and was unwilling, he wanted to know how far he and Lin Heng were different. He is already old, but he doesn't want the Infinite Sect to fall, he knows that he won't achieve anything, but he hopes to cultivate Zuo Zimu from now on, so that he can revive the Infinite Sword.
But how? Let him do it himself, he may not succeed, but if he can get Lin Heng's guidance, he may succeed, so he asked.
Lin Heng is not a person who cherishes himself, since he explained to Zuo Guangdou just now, he naturally will not fail to answer at this time. He said: "There is no end to martial arts, and so is the sword!" A swordsman starts from the basics, which is no different from ordinary Jianghu people, but there are more swords in his hands. Left master, what do you think of this mountain? ”
Zuo Guangdou and Zuo Zimu were stunned, and they didn't understand the meaning of Lin Heng's words. He didn't mean to ask the two of them to answer, so he said to himself: "In the eyes of beginners, this mountain is a mountain, and a sword is also a sword. That's the foundation! Zuo Zimu, do you think that mountain is a mountain? ”
"This ......" Zuo Zimu was at a loss, his face was full of idiot, but Zuo Guangdou was a little stunned, he looked at Lin Heng and said in a daze: "You say, that mountain is not a mountain, and the sword is no longer a sword!" ”
Lin Heng nodded and said: "We learn swordsmanship, it is the foundation of learning from the beginning, to put it bluntly, it is stabbing, cutting, splitting, pointing, slashing and other sword styles, these sword styles can also be learned, why are we swordsmen, are they not?" Because we will continue to combine these sword styles to form a sword technique, and the same is true of the immeasurable sword technique, and so is my sword technique. At this time, what we are pursuing is the change of swordsmanship, that is, the mountain is not a mountain, and the sword is not a sword. ”
"Are you in this realm?" Zuo Guangdou suddenly asked a question, which made Lin Heng stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right, you, Zuo Zimu, and I are all in this realm." ”
"What can we do, we're going to be so bad?" On the side, Zuo Zimu heard Lin Heng say that he was in the same realm as himself, and couldn't help but say. It's just that Lin Heng hasn't answered yet, so he said, "Is it because my swordsmanship is not good enough?" ”
"Stupid!" Zuo Guangdou scolded. He can become the head of a faction, not a stupid person, at this time, he has somewhat thought of Lin Heng's words, and said: "Brother Lin said just now that I don't believe in my sword, and now I also tell you that you don't believe in your sword." Yes, we are in the same realm, but we have different understandings of the sword. The two of us doubted our swords, so we lost. Brother Lin believed in his sword, and he was persistent and sincere in his sword, so he had superb swordsmanship and won. ”
Hearing this, Lin Heng continued: "In my opinion, this realm can be distinguished by three levels. The first level is to have a sword in your hand and no sword in your heart. The sword is in your hand, but you don't have a sword in your heart, you practice swordsmanship, but you only think it's a technique, which is not different from fists and feet. The second level, there is a sword in the hand and a sword in the heart. People have feelings, to people, to cats and dogs, to heaven and earth, and to all things in heaven and earth, and the sword in the opponent is no exception. When you like swords, you will naturally believe in him and be obsessed with him, at this time, although your swordsmanship is still swordsmanship, it is infinitely changing. The third level, there is no sword in the hand, but there is a sword in the heart. I can see this realm to some extent, but it is still a little worse to use. Left master, you see this is swordsmanship! ”
As he spoke, Lin Heng stabbed out with one finger, looking like a long sword stabbing straight through. Zuo Guangdou saw Lin Heng move like this, and immediately understood what he meant. The so-called no strength in his hands and a sword in his heart means that the sword is the same whether he is in his hand or not, because he can make all things in heaven and earth a sword.
"Lin, Brother Lin, which realm do you say I am?" Zuo Zimu listened to Lin Heng's details and asked with a stammer.
Lin Heng smiled and didn't answer him, but asked, "You shouldn't ask me this question, you should ask yourself, ask the sword in your hand." Look at the sword in your hand, do you have a sword in your heart? ”
"This ......" Suddenly, Zuo Zimu was at a loss, he looked at the sword in his hand in a daze, and chewed Lin Heng's words carefully. Beside him, Zuo Guangdou was the same, he looked at his sword, and kept asking himself in his heart, if he loved swords, and if he had a sword in his heart?
After a long time, the two came back to their senses, and Lin Heng did not leave, standing and looking at the two calmly.
Zuo Guangdou took a deep breath, and asked Lin Heng for the last time: "Brother Lin, is there a third realm of swordsmanship?" ”
Lin Heng nodded with a deep groan, and said, "The mountain is still the mountain, and the sword is still the sword!" I don't really understand this realm, but I can imagine it somewhat. Left master, look at the peaks on the immeasurable mountain, if it presses down, how can you resist it? ”
Leaving a question, Lin Heng turned around and said, "Zuo Zhangmen, this realm is too high, it's better not to be ambitious." After that, Lin Heng walked down the mountain step by step, his speed was not fast, but step by step it was like a flash, and he spanned a distance of hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye, and disappeared after a while.
At the foot of the mountain, Zuo Guangdou sighed softly, he also knew that the last question he had was too ambitious, but he hoped that there would be a rush, a rush that would make the Infinite Sword imaginative.
"Zimu, you have heard the three realms that Brother Lin said, I hope you can work hard with this."
Zuo Zimu nodded vigorously. He never imagined that swordsmanship could be so divided and so profound. For the first time, he raised his yearning for the sword, and secretly vowed that he must work hard and shine the sword. (To be continued......)
