Chapter Seventy-Six: Seven Appearances and Two Concealments
Under the starry sky, the top of the lonely mountain and snowy land...... There are few stars, and the cold wind is flickering...... One less independent of the outside of the cave......
The indescribable beauty makes Shaoyi's heart at this moment like a fine hair, love like a needle under the sea, he has a flash of inspiration, what his heart thinks, what his eyes can see: heaven and earth, sun and moon, day and night, cold and summer, men and women, up and down...... None of them are separated from yin and yang.
"Could it be that," Shao Yi couldn't help but think, "This Red Flame Sword is also like this, just like all things are born and restrain each other, the sword qi is rigid and soft, and the virtual and the real depend on each other?"
While thinking about it, Shaoyi looked at it, perhaps because the clouds were missing and the air was clear today, and Shaoyi was surprised to find that not far from the bright seven-star bucket handle in the sky, there seemed to be two stars shining like tear moles......
I don't know how long they have been hiding in this bottomless darkness, but it was only after more than a year of observing the stars that one of them caught them for the first time.
After careful identification, the deep blue sky was clear and silent, but the two dark stars were gone.
I don't know when Gu Gu has come to Shaoyi's side, she seems to see Shaoyi's thoughts, and said: "Indeed, Beidou is accompanied by two dark stars, one is called 'Xuange' and the other is called 'Swagger'. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Shaoyi was very curious.
"Originally, between heaven and earth, this Beidou was nine stars. Therefore, there is a saying that 'the whole service is multiplied by three elements, and the spinning gang is nine stars'. Later, in the tens of millions of years of the evolution of the Heavenly Dao, the Big Dipper stars became seven stars in a more powerful and practical Dou Xingxing shift, so the two stars Tianchong and Tianrui gradually disappeared in the dark......
"So," Gu Gu said, "what we rarely see today is the 'Seven Appearances and Two Concealments' of the Big Dipper." ”
"Oh, no wonder the sword book mentions 'Seven Appearances and Two Concealments'," Shaoyi suddenly realized: "It turns out that the 'Seven Appearances and Two Concealments' trend in the 'Little Kui Xing' sword style is inspired by the operation of the Big Dipper." ”
"It's not just enlightenment, it's the law of heaven, it's a certain rule. Coo became serious, his brow furrowed like a sun-dried walnut.
"It's just," Shaoyi scratched his head and said, "Even if I understand the origin of this sword momentum, I still don't know how to get started......
Gu Gu said: "I heard the moon mother-in-law in our village say: In ancient times, in mid-spring and February, the 'swagger' of the Beidou bucket handle pointed to the Mao position. At dusk, the arc star is positioned in the center of the southern sky, and in the early morning, the star is in the center of the southern sky...... The nine stars shine brightly, and the god is in the east, and at this time, the representative sound is the horn, which is correspondingly ...... by the rhythm pipe and the clamp clock."
"Slowly, slowly," Shaoyi stopped muttering and pondered: "The rhythm is divided into palaces, quotients, horns, signs, and feathers, and because of this, there are differences between high and low sounds, the color of bitterness, and the dimension of thickness.
"In this way, when used in the sword style, is it saying that 'Xiao Kuixing' should use different sword postures in different seasons, just like 'seven appearances and two hidden'.
"Spring, it should be the basic tone of the 'horn' sound, therefore, the nine sword moves in the 'Xiao Kui Xing' are respectively set in accordance with the tone of Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, Yu, etc., and the rhythm and strength of the seven strong and two weak are implemented in the swordsmanship...... "Shaoyi is full of interest and gushing, but it really makes some sense in the coo.
Gu Gu encouraged: "Shaoyi, since you have this explanation, you might as well bring it and try the sword?"
The sword pointed to the middle of the heavens. The moment he recited the formula, the sword in his left hand pointed outward, drawing an arc, and holding the sword in his right hand, he stabbed into the void in front of him. This move, "Sword Finger Backstab", is based on the basic tonality of the rhythm "Horn", and adopts the strength and action of the two beats of "strong and strong".
Then, in one go, he took a step back to the right with his right foot, and then turned his body back to the right, then closed his left foot to the inside of his right foot, and touched the ground with his toes. And this action follows the principle of "strong, strong, strong, strong", which is followed by two beats, and then four beats are evenly played.
Shaoyi holds the sword in his right hand, retreats to the right rear through the front and bottom of the body, flips his right wrist, and lifts the tip of the sword hard; at the same time, the sword finger of his left hand retreats with the sword and stops at the right shoulder. This action is "strong, strong, weak, weak", and the Heavenly Dao Dafa of the Nine Stars Fighting and Turning the Stars is played by Shaoyi on the "Horn" law with the rhythm and strength of nine beats in turn.
Shaoyi played a whole set of 'Xiao Kui Xing' this time, and as soon as the sword was closed, a layer of sword qi pierced through the stratus clouds, "Boom-" Suddenly, the blizzard hit......
"The sword momentum of 'Seven Appearances and Two Concealments' has been struck. Shaoyi couldn't help jumping up in the heavy snow.
"Goo, I can't sleep. Shaoyi rolled over and muttered to the 'roll tube' that was close to the firewood.
"I think you're burning," Gu Gu said in a sullen voice from the "roll sweep tube": "In early spring, the sword qi broke through the sky, the hot air met the cold air, and there was a big snowstorm, who are you trying to freeze to death?!"
"The snow didn't happen on purpose. Not sleeping, and not intentionally. Shaoyi said sincerely.
"Don't forget, we're a lonely mountain in the direction of the North Star. Coo said.
"The North Star really helps people get their way and don't get lost. But don't forget, Goo, we couldn't find the North Star in the misty forest with very low visibility. ”
"Yes, later, we had to rely on the easily locatable Big Dipper. Goo admitted.
"The Big Dipper is much more dazzling than the North Star, and we were looking for it according to the parchment scroll, and finally, we searched with our eyes, and finally we found the faint phosphorus fire of the Big Dipper over the misty forest. Shaoyi then recalled
"So," said Coo, yawning, "the Big Dipper has always been our lucky planet. ”
"At that time," Shao Yiyi was still unsatisfied, as if returning to the situation at that time, and said: "It was after finding the Big Dipper, from the direction of the Big Dipper's mouth, that is, from the direction of the line pulled out by Tianshu and Tianxuan, that is, extending almost five of the same distance upward, and then finding the North Star." ”
"Or maybe they all say," cooed, "the Big Dipper orbits the North Star." Normally, if you find the Big Dipper, you can find the North Star, and you will not continue to get lost. ”
"Dou Zhuan Xing, Dou Zhuan Xing Xing," Shao Yi seemed to be enchanted, thinking, and sighing: "Dou Zhuan Xing, Dou Zhuan Xing, that is actually saying a sad truth: years, years, changes, changes, today it spoons in the east, tomorrow can you stop it from turning to the west; before you like it has nine bright stars, Ming'er has gradually thrown away two stars and changed it into a dark star...... You can't change anything, you can only accept this heavenly way......"
"One less, you're really nothing. Coo, who had been silent for a long time, finally took his words.
"I'm in love, like the wolf on a full moon night, and I'm overflowing. Goo you go to sleep, leave me alone. ”
Goo sat up and said, "You sigh that the stars are changing and the world is impermanent.
"However, it is said that the Big Dipper revolves around the North Star, but you don't know that in fact, the distance between the Big Dipper and the North Star has never changed. Is this constant truth able to overturn your belief that the stars are moving?"
"Really, fake?" said Shaoyi.
"It's true. Coo said in affirmation.
"Our observations with the naked eye, the records in books, and the experience imparted by the old hunters all say that the world is impermanent, and the stars are changing, why do you say that it is not? What evidence is there?" asked Shaoyi challenged.
