Chapter 266: The Sea and the Sky

The eyes are deceiving. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is a truth that is repeated over and over again in very old stories.

For example, when you have a magician standing in front of you, and he has a card in his hand, you tend to have a headache because you suddenly become suspicious, and you don't know if what you are sure of is real or not!

Yuan Lai seemed to be facing a young but skilled magician at this moment.

He struck first, but he set up a defensive posture, which was not a temporary idea, but a long time ago. Yesterday, before the battle began, he had been practicing his sword in the courtyard, when Wu Danggui sat in the window and seemed to be asleep.

But every time he spoke, he said something about spiritual practice.

This process lasted for a long time, and Yuan Lai had many brief conversations with him.

At that time, Yuan Lai once asked, "What is the essential difference between sword cultivation and other cultivators who use swords as weapons?"

The old sword master was silent for a while, and then said to him, "Since you can't see it, then of course I can't say it clearly. ”

Yuan Lai understood what he meant, there are some things that can't be explained with two lips that everyone has.

So he stopped and asked, "You should have a way for me to understand, right?"

"Yes, it's a pity that I don't have enough time, and I won't be able to get it right for a while. ”

"How long?"

"Hmm...... Three months? Wu Danggui replied.

Yuan Lai decisively gave up this attempt, and instead said, "Then you should always be able to tell me what to do if I face a sword cultivator, right?"

"Fight with people? or kill people?"

"Don't kill. ”

"Oh......" Wu Danggui was like a hibernating bear at this time, his eyes were very slow, he seemed to think about it, and then said: "Then avoid it." ”

"Avoid?"

Wu Danggui suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled out one of the neatly arranged books on the tableβ€”most of those books were still left by Hu Junzi at that time, and some of them were not taken away.

He tossed the book gently, but with a slight movement of his wrist, the book flew and threw it towards Yuan Lai.

The pages of the book were blown by the air, and they made a soft noise, like falling leaves.

Yuan Lai stretched out his hand to take it, and when he looked down, it turned out to be a book of "Spring and Autumn Left Biography", and the page he opened at this moment was an article.

"Cao Di polemics. ”

Yuan Lai raised his eyes in surprise and looked at the old sword saint, and when he saw that he didn't say a word, he lowered his head again.

This "Zuo Biography" is the same as Yuan Lai's memory, he memorized this famous article in his early years, but it has been too long, and he has forgotten it for a long time, and he has forgotten it for a long time, and at this moment, goodbye, those words suddenly came alive, and the original memory in his mind was also revived.

This article is a famous one, and he naturally remembers its best sentence.

"Both grams, the public asked why. Said to him: Husband fights, courage also. One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion. He did his best to make money, so he restrained it. ”

It's the way to win.

Yuan Lai's mind flashed with inspiration, and he suddenly realized.

At this moment, Wu Danggui said slowly: "Sword, the head of a hundred soldiers, the weapon of a gentleman." Out of the sword belly of a righteous eye, the sword is double-edged, the head is sharp, hurting others and hurting oneself, extremely sharp, the sword cultivation mind and the instrument are connected, the most pay attention to a sharp spirit, but no matter how sharp the sword is, there is a day when it is worn out, no matter how thick the shoes are, there is a time when the upright qi in the chest is exhausted. ”

Yuan Lai said, "So, should I be the main guard?"

Wu Danggui shook his head: "It's not to guard, but to avoid its edge, it's to maneuver." ”

"The Canglang River burst the embankment in the previous dynasty, flooded the three provinces and seven states on both sides, and the mountains did not fall, and the people were also miserable, there was nothing to do, and the monks of the three realms were also like earth dogs, and the cultivation of the four realms was helpless, this is Tianwei, although it was embarrassing for a while, it was better than going against the trend and dying of meaninglessness. β€œ

Yuan Lai nodded, his face touching.

He thought of the world from the flood, and the world is full of undercurrents, like a great river.

"That'...... How do I get around?"

"There is no perfect swordsmanship in the world, and there is no flawless attack and defense, in ancient times, cultivators paid attention to yin and yang, talked about the formation, and there must be a living mouth in the death array, otherwise it will not work. ”

"What do you mean...... I get it. ”

Yuan Lai's eyes flickered, and his heart understood.

Even in the alchemy furnace of Taishang, there is a corner where there is no samadhi true fire, let alone a young man's sword.

Yuan Lai just pulled out of his memories in an instant.

He laid out a defensive position according to his heart, and this defensive position was not tight, because if you defend more closely and more impregnably, then in fact, the smaller the retreat and the narrower the way to survive.

The faster you run, the shorter the remaining way to survive in front of you.

Now, what he wants to think about is how to deal with Gray Yuan, and when he saw Gray Yuan's first sword, he reluctantly found that this word is easy to say, but it is really difficult to do!

He clearly saw three swords coming in front of him through the barrier of his green vines.

The three swords were identical, but there was no one holding the sword at the hilt.

So it can be guessed that maybe these three swords are fake, maybe one of them is real, or even ...... Maybe it's all true.

The speed of the sword was too fast, and he felt that he could only be sure that he could block one at this moment, at most two.

"Do you want me to bet?"

Obviously, in this case, if he still wants to win, he has to make a trade-off, the three swords are so real, although they all seem to be true, but if you use reason, Gray Yuan has not stepped into the three realms after all, and there are some clever means that he should not be able to use, if he can really turn three swords into three, the virtual and the real are born, and he will break through the defense of Qingteng in an instant...... If it is so strong, then Yuan Lai will simply admit defeat.

Intellectually, there should be falsehood, but the question is which one is true.

If you make the wrong trade-off, it's a big mistake.

Of course...... His choice was not only to choose with that sword, Gray Plains' move was extremely ingenious, but it was not the kind of strong hand he had to fight against no matter what!

There is another easiest way in front of Yuan Lai, which is to ...... Withdraw.

As long as he retreats, Tiansi's pace is extremely fast, and his position is erratic, but if he delays for a while, as long as he has more time, he will take the initiative to cut off these three swords, or use other methods.

As long as he retreats!

But...... Can he retreat? You must know that this is not a competition with an ordinary Second Realm cultivator, but a demon who can at least rank in the top five in the world with the younger generation of the Southern Sect who is only below Chen Zou.

In the eyes of ordinary people, just retreating at the first move is equivalent to giving up the layout at the beginning of a game of chess, losing the situation in the early stage, and it will be even more difficult to turn the game back.

If he retreats, he may never come back.

According to Yuan Lai's temper, he really doesn't want to retreat a step, and there has always been a clear heart under his gentle surface, which is not the heart of striving for the first place in everything, but ...... A kind of stubbornness, the stubbornness of not being willing to retreat before fighting.

But......

"All the way!"

Yuan Lai's thoughts flickered in his heart.

"Lu Zhangcha doesn't like to gamble, don't I like it?"

He exhaled slowly, and time seemed to slow down beside him.

Offstage, countless people watched intently as Gray Yuan stood quietly outside Yuan Lai's body, the sword blank in his hand pointed directly at the opponent's eyebrows, but there were at least five green vines coiled between the tip of the sword and the center of his eyebrows.

"Gray Plains, this is a temptation. Lu Zhangcha didn't take his eyes off it, and said in a low voice: "Lure Yuan to attack, as long as he can't help but make a move, then the next thing is the ruthless blow that Gray Yuan has already gathered!"

In the pavilion, a Three Realms cultivator was surprised and said, "This sword is not sharp, I don't know where it is good?"

Lin Jiangxian said lightly: "The biggest enemy of the young man's spirit is not the level of the Dao, but the heart. Nanzong Gray was originally a sword cultivator, but he knew how to attack the heart with a sword to plot the general trend, although his cultivation was not as good as Chen Zou's vertical and horizontal, but ...... In my opinion, if the heart is much better than that Chen Zou. ”

"There is no limit to what you can achieve in the future. ”

There are many viewers, and there are naturally a few with keen eyes, and most of them can't see so much detail, just looking forward to how Yuan Lai will respond.

Although they couldn't see the three illusory swords in front of Yuan Lai's eyes, they could also guess that Yuan Lai must have a sword in front of him at this moment.

At this time, it depends on what means the young man has to crack it.

Is it a hard fight? or is it a split attack?

However, when Yuan Lai began to move, people found that their guesses were wrong.

He...... I actually took the initiative to retreat in the first round!

I saw that Yuan Lai moved under everyone's feet, his body took three steps back, and Qingteng swayed with it, and Gray Yuan's sword did not stab it, because it was meaningless to stab it.

He actually chose to retreat, although this retreat gave up the beginning, but also, take a step back and open the sky.

So, just like that, his first move was resolved by Yuan Lai.

Or rather......

"He's scared? He retreated in the first round!"

"This ...... What's the matter, you actually quit in the first place?"

"Sure enough, it's a loose cultivator, and I'm so timid! I don't even dare to shake it for the first time, what's the difference between this and admitting defeat?"

"Sure enough, it's a person who sells fame and reputation. ”

For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the audience.

It's just that he retreated in the first round, which is the first time in all the sessions of this Tianding Conference, and people can't be surprised.

In the crowd, Liu Yan's face suddenly became angry.

And in the pavilion that people couldn't see, Lin Jiangxian suddenly sighed, as if he was quite surprised, but his eyes couldn't help but widen a little. (To be continued.) )
