Chapter 13: The True Dugu Kendo
As early as when he saw the two big words "Sword Shrine" on the cliff, Su Zhihang faintly sensed it. Otherwise, with Su Zhihang's current cultivation, he would naturally not act in such a hurry, and he couldn't wait to open the sword mound. Originally, Su Zhihang's plan was to at least visit the Condor first, and then open the sword shrine after obtaining its consent, which can be regarded as a kind of respect that a person who practices swords should have for this sword senior.
However, after Su Zhihang noticed this kind of seemingly nonexistent abnormality, he naturally did not let it go, and immediately ran the Empty Heart Sutra with all his might, and let the Hollow Heart Mind feel carefully. It turned out that the handwriting on the stone wall was naturally left when Dugu was defeating and burying the sword, and when Dugu was seeking defeat and carving, he unconsciously kneaded into his own understanding of swordsmanship. If it is just like this, although Su Zhihang can also deduce some of the swordsmanship of Dugu to seek defeat, it will not make Su Zhihang change his original intention. However, perhaps because it was buried with his own sword and sword, the love was there, so there was still a faint spiritual idea on the word "sword mound", although it was weak, but it has not been dispersed so far, it is Su Zhihang's keen spirit to sense the abnormality, but these spiritual ideas are not deliberately left by Dugu to seek defeat, it has been extremely weak for many years, and is about to dissipate, and Su Zhihang's Ming Heart Sutra has only had time to sense the complex emotions contained in it and then dissipated directly.
However, these are not the point, the point is that Su Zhihang also sensed that there was a spiritual idea under the stone pile in the center of the stone platform, what was contained in it? Su Zhihang reacted almost instantly, but although because of the stone buried, it was avoided by the wind and rain for many years, compared to the thought on the stone wall that had dissipated, this idea was obviously much stronger, but after all, it had been a long time, and when Su Zhihang released the true qi induction, it seemed that this idea was disturbed and activated, so this idea was also rapidly dissipating, looking at the speed of its dissipation, it was obvious that he couldn't wait for Su Zhihang to find the Condor and obtain its consent. If this idea is allowed to dissipate, and the best inheritance of the essence of the sword mound's life is lost, it seems that it is the real disrespect for the sword mound master, Su Zhihang is not a pedantic person, so Su Zhihang made a decisive move and opened the sword mound. Worried that the use of true qi would interfere with it and accelerate the disappearance of this spirit, Su Zhihang could only use his ** power to move away from the stone pile, fortunately, Su Zhihang's strength at this time was no longer the weak chicken when he was still an E-level, and he cleaned up the stone pile in three or two clicks, revealing the three long swords under it.
Su Zhihang, who knew the contents buried under the sword mound, did not hesitate, and immediately looked at the few lines of small words under the three swords. If the handwriting on the stone wall just now only contains the complex mood of Dugu when he was defeating and burying the sword, then the handwriting engraved here contains the feelings of Dugu when he was writing, especially in the last two lines, "the heavy sword has no edge, and the great ingenuity is not work", "not stuck in things, grass, trees, bamboo and stone can be used as swords", "no sword is better than the realm of the sword", the sword intent is extremely clear, even if it is not like Su Zhihang, an ordinary person who has a secret method that can read spiritual thoughts, will also have a hidden feeling after seeing it, and will not mistake the original intention of the book.
Su Zhihang saw that the opportunity could not be missed, and immediately emptied his mind, and made every effort to comprehend the idea of kendo that was about to dissipate, although it was separated by nearly a hundred years, but the spiritual exchange was better than Dugu seeking defeat and presenting a kendo perception directly in Su Zhihang's heart, but it was not a few lines of words that could be compared when I read novels in the fog before. It is no wonder that many martial arts cheats are the most precious in the original, not only because there are many annotations from predecessors on the original, but also because the original intention of the creator is naturally revealed between the lines, so as not to lead others astray due to linguistic ambiguity, and the rubbings obviously have no such effect, unless the rubbings are also written by people who have also learned the essence of this skill. And now, the idea that Su Zhihang encountered can be said to be the most valuable harvest of the Dugu Sword Shrine, and even the entire Condor World.
Until this thought dissipated, Su Zhihang still closed his eyes and felt for a long time before he opened his eyes, with both joy and sigh in his expression, and a sudden realization, so it is, so it is.
A long time ago, Su Zhihang had a doubt, that is, in the book "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Ling Hu Chong's Dugu Nine Swords were taught by Feng Qingyang. This sword technique is obviously from the ruins here, but although the Dugu Nine Swords is also a peerless swordsmanship, compared to the sword realm mentioned in the sword mound, it is obviously far from qualified, and even makes a judgment, so the problem is that the person who created the Dugu Nine Swords obviously knows the deeds of Dugu seeking defeat, and can blow the slogan of breaking the world's martial arts, and is obviously a conceited person, so even if this kind of person feels that his own realm is not enough, he cannot create the swordsmanship of "heavy sword" and "wooden sword" when he creates this swordsmanship, but he will definitely not turn a blind eye, There is no description of the corresponding realm of "heavy sword" and "wooden sword" in the whole swordsmanship, so at a glance, it is not to live up to the name of Dugu, and the two seem to have something in common only on the prestige.
And Su Zhihang's doubt finally became clear after getting Dugu's spiritual idea of seeking defeat at this moment, and it turned out that he had entered a big misunderstanding.
The "wooden sword" that Dugu said about seeking defeat and the "wooden sword" in Su Zhihang's understanding are diametrically opposed to two different things! It may be that in many martial arts novels, the masters can hurt people by flying flowers and picking leaves, and Su Zhihang takes it for granted that in the original book, "After the age of forty, it is not stuck in things, and plants, trees, bamboos and stones can be swords." Since then, he has been refined, gradually moving to the realm of no sword is better than a sword. "It is said that after Dugu's internal force is deep, even after the grass and trees are infused with internal force, it can not be inferior to the long sword, and the power will not decrease. This statement sounds reasonable at first glance, however, Su Zhihang ignores a key issue, that is, this is the realm of a master rather than the realm of swordsmanship, and the title of Dugu is "Sword Demon" rather than "God and Demon", and the "wooden sword" that Su Zhihang understands actually has nothing to do with kendo at all.
As mentioned above, Su Zhihang can already condense qi into a sword after his innate achievements, but although his swordsmanship has reached "mastery", he can't even be considered "Dacheng", can Su Zhihang be regarded as successfully cultivating the realm of "wooden sword"? Obviously not, this is just Su Zhihang's deep internal force that has played a role, and it has nothing to do with kendo, so Su Zhihang can only be regarded as a "master" rather than a "kendo master". It wasn't until this moment, after realizing Dugu's idea of seeking defeat and staying in the sword mound, that he suddenly realized that his thoughts were even contrary to Dugu's defeat.
There are countless martial arts worlds in infinite space, but the general development can be classified into five categories: body, technique, qi, heart, and potential. (*Note 1) Dugu's "heavy sword without edge, great ingenuity does not work" refers to the natural force to go with the strength, borrowing the momentum of the heavy sword to achieve the effect of the thunderbolt, although it is said to be a "skill" of the road, and has nothing to do with the momentum, and "grass, trees, bamboo and stone can be a sword" also belongs to the "skill" of the way, but it goes further.
I believe that everyone has had the experience of accidentally cutting their fingers by a piece of paper, but if you want to do it deliberately but can't do anything, Dugu's "wooden sword" is similar to this, even if you have no internal strength, whether it is a piece of paper or a leaf in your hand, as long as you can grasp the opportunity to be lucky, the paper can also cut your fingers, and the leaves can also cut your throat, which doesn't seem strange, but if you can grasp these opportunities freely, it is absolutely appalling, this is the real "wooden sword" realm, and it is by no means the shallowness that Su Zhihang understands. Now it seems that although Xiao Ao Ling Hu Chong has no internal strength, he can exert great power with only a long sword and Dugu Nine Swords, not only is it not that he does not understand Dugu's defeat, but he accidentally touched the edge of the "Wooden Sword" and obtained the true essence of Dugu Nine Swords.
Note 1:
"Body" is to take the road of refining the body, the most typical is the witch clan in the wilderness, only cultivating the body, one force to reduce ten meetings; "Technique" refers to all kinds of moves, just like the Wuyue Sword School in "Smiling Proud Jianghu", the sword moves cultivated belong to the branch of "technique";
The so-called "qi" does not need to be repeated, everyone understands it; The aspect of "heart" is a little ethereal, which can be understood as the major masters in "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", when they shoot, they have their own unique artistic conceptions, which is "heart";
The last "potential" seems to overlap with the "heart", but it is completely different, but it refers to the integration of people's own momentum into martial arts, representing the world is "Yang God", all people's magical martial arts, fist intent has a strong "potential".
Of course, most of the world is not monotonous, more of a hundred flowers bloom. is like the world of "Fengyun", Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun have their own Fengyun life, the hegemon's overlord life belongs to "potential", while the sword saint's "Heaven and Earth Destroying Sword Twenty-three" belongs to the "heart", and the godless immortal golden body belongs to the "body・・・・・・
