Chapter 28 Theory and Practice
The night was dark, as if smeared with thick ink.
The shadows of the trees in the distance were swaying, there was no glimmer of the stars, and the wind and sand made the leaves rustle, and it was full of silence.
Under the lingering smoke, the old man with the vicissitudes of life holding a dry tobacco stick in his hand and staggering over, his figure was gloomy, with loneliness and loneliness.
The little girl beside him, with two big braids, looked ahead with shining eyes, bright as stars, revealing aura.
After walking in, she let out an "oops" and came to Ah Fei's side, and couldn't bear to tear off a piece of cloth from herself and bandage it at his broken arm.
In this process, Ah Fei didn't look at her, just looked out of the sky in a trance, motionless, full of twilight, like a dead person.
It was as if his heart was dead.
Seeing this scene, the old man sighed: "The sect leader is ruthless!"
Yan Shi said: "You are wrong, the person who killed him was not this seat, but himself." ”
The old man fell silent.
Yan Shi said: "The real strong people will not be decadent because of any setbacks and difficulties, they will only regard all the pain as the food for life progress, let themselves grow and surpass, just a little blow to the heart of the person who dies, in the final analysis, is just a weak." ”
Hearing Yan Shi's sarcastic words, Ah Fei still didn't react at all, like a dead corpse.
The old man took a long breath of dry smoke, the mist was steaming, and he looked at Yan Shi and said, "This is the second time we have met, and the old man didn't expect that you would be the leader of the Demon Sect last time." ”
Yan Shi stared at him and said, "But this seat knows that you are the old man of the Heavenly Machine who is the number one in the weapon spectrum, and I am very interested in your Heavenly Machine Stick." ”
"The heavenly machine stick you mentioned has long been left by me at the bedside at home. The old man said with a misty expression.
Li Xunhuan couldn't help but admire in his heart.
"Good realm. Yan Shi first admired, and then looked at the full moon scimitar in his hand, "But my knife is in my hand." ”
The girl with big pigtails said, "Grandpa doesn't have a stick in his hand, but he has a knife in his hand, what does this mean?"
Li Xunhuan smiled at her and said: "Ling Zu is unfathomable, although there is no stick in his hand, but everything in heaven and earth is his stick, this is the realm where no stick is better than a stick." But Sect Master Yan thought that the sword in his hand was enough to defeat his useless club. ”
"Who's more powerful?" the pigtailed girl blinked her big sparkling eyes and looked at the three of them suspiciously.
Yan Shi said: "This is easy, if this seat can kill him with a knife, it means that this seat is better with a knife, and on the contrary, he is more clever without a stick." ”
He looked at the old man opposite with murderous eyes: "Make a move, let this seat see your strength." ”
The old man sighed and said: "Why are the young people nowadays so fierce and ruthless, the old man is an old bone, but I don't want to fight with you." ”
Yan Shi sneered: "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't." ”
The old man's face remained unchanged, and he treated it indifferently: "I heard the sect leader discuss martial arts and list the five realms before, and the old man is a little interested in this, how about you and I have a literary fight today?"
Yan Shi made a gesture of invitation: "This seat is also very curious about what the world-renowned Tianji Old Man has to say about the way of martial arts. ”
The old man said: "The way of martial arts, in the old man's view, is actually a Zen enlightenment, flowers are not flowers, fog is not fog." ”
"Everything is like a dream. If dew is like electricity, it should be viewed as such. ”
"In terms of the sword, having a sword in your hand and no sword in your heart is the first realm.
There is a sword in the hand, and there is also a sword in the heart, which is the second realm.
There is no sword in his hand, but there is a sword in his heart, but it is the third level realm, if he can reach this realm, it is enough to be called a hero, such as Shangguan Jinhong. ”
He took a puff of dry cigarette, his eyes locked tightly.
Over there, Li Xunhuan stroked his palm and said: "The old man of Tianji is worthy of the name of Tianji, this insight is indeed mysterious. ”
The old man smiled slightly, and said seriously: "There is no sword in your hand, there is a sword in your heart, this realm seems to have reached the peak, but in the old man's opinion, it is actually just the beginning. ”
"The body is like a Bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror. Wipe it off from time to time to avoid dust. The beauty of the gods is similar to this realm. Yan Shi smiled.
"Hmph, you devil, you actually talk about Zen. The pigtailed girl snorted coldly there, she had a lot of opinions about Yan She.
"Oh, the second time we met, I don't know the girl's name. Yan Shi asked with a bright smile.
Seeing his smile, the pigtailed girl was even more angry and depressed, the last time she met Yan She, she looked at this smile, and finally thought that this was a sunny and cheerful boy, and she had a good impression in her heart, but later she found out that this was a big devil at all.
The sun is shining, which has nothing to do with him at all.
She feels deceived about her feelings, and now she is very unhappy.
Women are so inexplicable.
She said coldly, "What does my name have to do with you?"
Yan Shi smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just feel that the girl is innocent and very cute, I want to be close and close, I don't know if there is a chance?"
"You ......" She never thought that Yan Shi would say such a thing so bluntly, her face turned red all of a sudden, and she said angrily: "My surname is Sun, my name is Xiaohong, tell you, you don't have a chance, I already have a sweetheart." ”
She looked at Li Xunhuan with shy eyes, and the latter couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Yan Shi sighed: "That's a pity, but it doesn't matter, this seat can let you be a pair of mandarin ducks with the same fate in the future, and fly in the underground amphibious double." When he said this, his face was still very bright.
"Hong'er, a character like Sect Master Yan, how can you speculate, don't be smiling and generous. The old man of Tianji shouted beside him, "I just heard the sect leader discuss the five realms of form, thoroughness, understanding, entering the gods, and attaining the Tao, I don't know what it means?"
Yan Shi said lightly: "The so-called 'form' is also the form and moves. Although there are many sword methods in the world, in terms of the root, it is just the sum of the fourteen basic sword techniques, stabbing, picking, clouding, chopping, splitting, pointing, collapsing, hanging, teasing, wiping, sweeping, racking, intercepting, and flowering. All kinds of swordsmanship are born from this, and the evolution is endless, and this is the form. ”
"In this view, sword training only needs to learn these fourteen moves, and you must also learn these fourteen moves. Yan Shi suddenly looked at Ah Fei, "His swordsmanship is also the pinnacle, but why is he vulnerable in front of this seat? In the final analysis, he will only stab with one move, and the foundation of swordsmanship is too poor, although the sword is on the edge of the edge to reach the extraordinary realm, but in the final analysis, it is not the right way, even if he gets rid of the shackles in his heart, he is only a first-class swordsman, and he cannot become a real peerless swordsman." ”
In the ancient dragon world, although the flying swordsman is also a top swordsman, it is a grade worse than Ye Gucheng, Ximen Blowing Snow, Xie Xiaofeng, and Yan Shisan, after all, in the final analysis, he can only use one sword, saying that he is a swordsman, but in fact, he is not worthy of the name.
Although the sword can also reach the top, it is not the orthodox way after all, and it may be able to quickly improve its strength at the beginning, but it also imprisons itself in the end.
Yan Shi said solemnly: "Martial arts are endless, but if you want to reach the peak of sword weapons, basic moves are fundamental, and only by practicing these can you build the strongest swordsmanship and sword technique." ”
The old man of Tianji nodded and said: "What the sect leader said is extremely true, compared to the old man's mysterious truth, you are a practical school. ”
"Although the truth sounds mysterious, how many people understand it? Only by laying a solid foundation can we climb to the top of the martial arts, and only when we reach a certain level can we comprehend the great truth you said. Yan Shi sneered.
PS: There are many ways to say basic swordsmanship, and I use one of them here.
