Chapter 300: The Last Star in the Night Sky
What's your kendo?
Pei Yuan's understatement made Xia Sheng fall into a long contemplation.
Purely in terms of age, Xia Sheng is only sixteen years old this year, but he is not a rookie in cultivation, and he even said unceremoniously that his understanding of the cultivation path is only higher than that of the current Saint Rank powerhouses, not lower than them.
Pei Yuan is just a sword venerable, no matter how amazing and glamorous, no matter how talented he is, in front of the glory of Xia Sheng's eighth life, it is still not enough to see.
But now his soft question was as precise and deadly as the long sword in his hand, which made it a little difficult for Xia Sheng to answer.
Because Xia Sheng didn't know what the way of the sword he was following now was.
A moment later, seeing that the sky was about to turn white, and the last bleak cold of the autumn night shrouded like a tide, Xia Sheng shivered, came back to his senses from his distant thoughts, raised his hand and raised the Haoran Sword in front of him, his eyes were clear.
"What's your kendo?"
Pei Yuan did not answer Xia Sheng's question head-on, but moved his gaze to the incomparably deep night, and sighed: "In fact, many people don't know that only the starry sky before the closest dawn is the most dazzling. ”
Xia Sheng raised his head and looked at the sky with Pei Yuan, and smiled slightly: "But the more at this time, the colder it is, many people die without waiting for the moment when the sky breaks." ”
Pei Yuan's expression seemed to be a little gloomy, but he quickly regained his brilliance and muttered, "But do you know? Rather, there is a certain order, even the most inconspicuous and faint star now. If it lasts until the last moment, it will take over the night sky when the rest of the stars are gone. ”
Xia Sheng shook his head, not agreeing with Pei Yuan's statement, and retorted: "No matter how dazzling any star is, no matter how long it has existed in this night sky. It is always unable to occupy the night sky, it can only exist and be accepted by the night sky. ”
Hear the words. Pei Yuan's heart seemed to move, and even his eyes became sharper.
"Yes, in the eyes of the world, there is no night sky. There is no moon or stars. But have you ever thought about how lonely this night sky would be if there were no stars and moons? Have you ever thought that maybe whether this night sky exists or not, the stars and moons are there, it's just whether we can see them or not. ”
Pei Yuan's voice suddenly became a little ethereal, but to Xia Sheng's ears, it seemed to open the door to a new world for him.
Again, he felt. I underestimated this Kendo Venerable.
Perhaps people who are familiar with Pei Yuan's character will be extremely shocked by his performance at this moment, because this is still the same cynicism. A swordsman with a free and easy temperament is more like a poet, a philosopher, and a Taoist who has seen through the heavens.
In front of Xia Sheng, Pei Yuan showed another side of him, retreating from the north and south from what he did on weekdays, like the two poles of yin and yang, obviously incompatible with each other, but I don't know why, he was able to achieve a perfect unity in Pei Yuan's person.
The shock that Pei Yuan brought to Xia Sheng tonight was far stronger than that of a simple saint-rank powerhouse, and even speaking, Xia Sheng had not met anyone who could enlighten him on the path of cultivation for many years.
In his first eight lives, regardless of his status and status, regardless of his starting point, he was proud of the whole world, he had relatives, friends, brothers, companions, and confidants, but he had no teacher.
For since his first rebirth, no one has been able to teach him anything.
This situation lasted for eight lifetimes, spanning nearly 30,000 years, but it has never changed.
Just like today's Xia Sheng, although he is only a king-level powerhouse, he is more powerful than him, and there are many people with far-reaching realms, but it is impossible for him to worship anyone as a teacher, because no one knows the origin of this world better than himself, and no one understands the true meaning of power better than him.
Even Wei Qiuyue, the vice president of the Spring and Autumn Academy, was stronger than Xia Sheng in the spiritual path theory, but for Xia Sheng, he was only a matter of specialization in the art industry, and he believed that if he devoted himself to studying the spiritual path theory, he would definitely be able to surpass it.
Originally, Xia Sheng thought that Pei Yuan was the same.
Because in terms of swordsmanship alone, today's Pei Yuan may be able to make him difficult to match, but in time, Xia Sheng believes that he will be able to ascend to a broader world than Sword Venerable, and the word Holy Rank is not so unattainable and not daunting to Xia Sheng.
There is no question of whether it is possible or not.
It just depends on whether he wants to or not.
But just a moment ago, Pei Yuan's argument about the night sky and the stars and the moon made Xia Sheng a little impressed, because even if he had traveled through all the scenery in the world and seen through the 30,000 years of time, he still had not been able to get a glimpse of the mystery here.
Pei Yuan's sword path is the way of heaven.
So next, Xia Sheng asked Pei Yuan a very simple, but very profound question: "So, in your opinion, is it more important to have brighter stars or more profound stars?"
Pei Yuan's answer once again surprised Xia Sheng.
"It doesn't matter, the stars in the night sky are hard to count, but when you look up again, which star do you remember? The star that can be remembered by the world is the most important thing. ”
"Something interesting. ”
Pei Yuan did not give an answer from the two choices given to him by Xia Sheng, but said the third possibility, but in Xia Sheng's opinion, Pei Yuan had already chosen.
Because in order for the world to remember, first of all, the star needs to stay in the night sky long enough.
Grow to the eternity.
Therefore, Xia Sheng asked the second question: "If this is the case, then why not fight to be the bright moon in the sky? The stars are boundless, only the moonlight is eternal." ”
Pei Yuan shook his head and said: "That's not right, the moonlight is not immutable, it also has the difference between cloudy and sunny and round, of course, for me, for the stars and not for the moon, or that reason, the word eternity, is too lonely." ”
Xia Sheng finally understood Pei Yuan's true intentions.
He wants to be a star that is not eternal, but can live forever.
At first glance, these two sentences are contradictory, but Xia Sheng knows that perhaps in Pei Yuan's world, this is also a perfect unity.
So he lowered the Haoran sword in his hand by three inches, clasped his hands together in front of his chest, bowed his waist slightly, and said with a smile: "In the future, I hope that Mr. will give me a lot of advice." ”
As Xia Sheng's words fell, Pei Yuan's eyes suddenly burst out with a brighter brilliance than the stars and moon, and at the same time, the entire sky also woke up from absolute darkness, and the last star in the night sky gradually faded, replaced by a golden morning sun rising from under the horizon, illuminating the entire world.
