Volume 13 Kenshin Chapter 30 Exam Questions for the Sword Abandon (4)
"Thirty days have passed, and there are a total of thirty-two people who have passed the third level." Xiao Buyi didn't know where to get a feather fan, shook it gently like a military advisor on the stage, and muttered, "Those who haven't been able to pass the third level until today will probably not be able to challenge the fourth level successfully." ”
"In fact, even among the thirty-two people, quite a few people have given up on the challenge of the fourth level." Yi Shou said, "After all...... If you can't break through the fourth level within forty-nine days, I'm afraid you'll lose your life......"
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh deeply: "Senior Brother Yi has repeatedly warned himself not to give up his roots, but when he reached the end, he still couldn't resist the pursuit of the Supreme Divine Sword after all, and he was restless for ten days, and he still entered the battle this morning......"
"Yes, it's one thing to 'know the way', but it's another thing to 'do'. I said it a thousand times beforehand, and I couldn't help but feel hot in my heart!" Xiao Buyi's fan stopped, "How am I not like this!" I knew that I couldn't use the means of heavenly machine calculations anymore, but I felt that an opportunity appeared yesterday, and I couldn't help but use ......"
Yi Shou looked at the cloth in front of him, and most of his hair turned white overnight, and he thought of Yi Yi, who couldn't help but break through after ten days, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Speaking of which...... However, the senior brother and sister-in-law were free and easy, and only said "See you after the fourth level" and went straight to the fourth level - speaking of which, I really didn't expect that the senior brother actually had such a powerful talent in swordsmanship!"
Wu Daoyou...... I didn't expect that either. I have the impression that his swordsmanship is very poor, and he is better than a layman like me. Xiao Buyi's face was also full of doubt, "I don't understand, how can he pass three levels in less than thirty days?" And how can he still have the confidence to make it to the fourth level?"
The two of you, you look at me, I look at you, and they can't help but shake their heads slightly.
Weird, weird!
At this time, Wu Xie didn't think about it so much, he was holding a silver-gray short sword, looking at the golden statue not far away and pondering.
The fourth question is called "Sword of Inquiry".
The first sword is the skill of condensing to the point of being like a steel needle, the second sword is the speed of sudden force in the lightning and stone fire, the third sword is the determination to bet all the essence and spirit in one sword, and the fourth sword is to eliminate all external purity of the soul.
The requirement of this sword is to ignore everything outside, and with an extremely pure heart, swing a sword that can cut everything.
"There is nothing eternal in the world, and there is nothing perfect. If we jump out of the framework of the 'sword' and look at the entire cultivation world, we can see that the purer the force, the more powerful the penetrating power it will be. And what is pure to the extreme is the 'Tao'. In this world, each of them is the purest and purest embodiment of a certain aspect, and the way to chase the 'Dao' is often to get rid of all distracting thoughts and feel the existence of the 'Dao' in the purest state and the purest mind. ”
"Of course, I won't be crazy to ask you to really feel the existence of the Dao, but I ask you to grasp a pure mind, and the sword wielded by that mind will have a magical power beyond imagination, and there is hardly anything in the mortal world that can stop it."
"This is my fourth sword, the Sword of Inquiry. Don't ask about anything external, just your heart. If your heart is pure enough, this sword can cut through the statue and open the door to the void. ”
"If you can't...... Let's work until we can!"
"The people who can come to this level are rare talents. So I won't really kill you, but as long as you can't practice the Conscience Sword for a day, you won't be able to get out for a day. ”
"If you are really a person who loves swordsmanship, I believe you should not care about this little thing. If you're not into swordsmanship, then I don't need to care about your opinion. ”
"I am a sword abandoner, a person who stands at the apex of one of the swords of the land of Kyushu, and I look forward to you coming to me. At that time, I will teach you the true Excalibur, beyond your imagination. ”
"Compared to that, what you've learned these days is just basic."
"But I want you to come to me soon, because ...... Maybe I won't have to wait long. ”
Wu Xie didn't know what Lu Dao abandoned the sword disciple for, "I can't wait too long", but he felt that he should try to rush through this hurdle and go to meet the senior who had instructed him back then.
When he passed the third level, he originally planned to stop at this level and not go through the fourth level. But when he looked at the main hall of the Holy Emperor's Mausoleum on the top of the mountain, a strange throbbing suddenly rose in his heart, as if something was calling him there.
Yin Shuang also felt the throbbing, although she was actually not interested in the Holy Emperor's Mausoleum at all, but at that time, she couldn't help but look up at the main hall.
So they changed their minds after enjoying the next twenty days of peaceful leisure, went to the fourth level together, and agreed to meet after the pass.
"It was a bit of a big talk at the time!" Wu Xie couldn't help but smile bitterly, "With my swordsmanship talent, even if I can barely pass the level, I can't be as fast as her......"
"Master, don't look down on yourself! Even if you can't handle it, we're still here!" Jasmine exclaimed dissatisfiedly, "This is just the use of the Dao of Sincerity in swordsmanship, as long as you master the Dao of Sincerity, this sword will be effortless to use!"
"Do you think I can master the Way of Sincerity?"
"Absolutely! You still came up with this sincere way back then!"
"Huh?" Wu Xie was taken aback, in his impression, the Supreme Divine Monarch should be a sinister and cunning despicable person, how could such a person be able to get rid of all distracting thoughts and seek the Tao with a pure heart?
"I don't know the specific situation, but when you fought with Zhengyi Shenjun, you used to laugh at him, saying that 'the way of sincerity' is just the residue left over from my play, I have already walked this road, even if you spend a hundred times and a thousand times your strength, you will not be able to reach my height,."
"And then?"
"No, it was just mentioned by a senior brother by chance. I would have liked to ask him in detail the next time I waited for an interview, but it turned out ...... After he went down the mountain that time, he betrayed his master and took refuge in Zhengyi Shenjun. ”
"Huh? Could it be that the Supreme Divine Monarch is just that?"
"Of course not! The main gate was set out, attacking Zhengyi Shenjun three times in succession, destroying his mountain gate three times before and after, forcing him to retreat again and again. In the end, a few big bald heads came forward together, and we temporarily suspended the army. Jasmine said excitedly, "But Master, you didn't really give up, you have been preparing to create the Heavenly Book World Realm since then, saying that when the Heavenly Book World Realm is completed, you will be the only supreme in heaven and earth, even the two ancestors." When the time comes, what kind of Buddhism, what kind of teaching, one finger can crush them to death!"
"But before the Heavenly Book World Realm was completed, he was bombarded by the World Destroying God Thunder." Wu Xie smiled, "After talking for a long time, it turned out that there was still no valuable news." ”
Jasmine suddenly puffed out her cheeks, and her face was full of "I'm not happy".
"It's just a sincere way! Give me a few days and I'll put it on the show!" She made a loud noise, ran to the bottom of the spirit tree, sat down against the spirit wood, and fell into deep thought.
Wu Xie looked at Jasmine's contemplative appearance and couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Jasmine, although he is not tall, looks petite, and even speaks with a childlike voice, but he is very proud in his bones. Once stimulated, it immediately goes crazy, and this has happened more than once before.
But that's what makes her cute. In other words, this simple way of thinking is what makes her cute.
He didn't doubt that Jasmine would be able to deduce the Way of Sincerity, because he felt that as far as Jasmine's loyalty to the Supreme Divine Monarch was concerned, she was probably already inadvertently in line with the Way of Sincerity.
However, he didn't intend to wait for Jasmine to finish his deduction stupidly, on the contrary, he planned to try to comprehend it himself, and see if he could use his strength to comprehend the skills that were extremely valuable to the seeker.
So he carefully experienced the divine thoughts of introducing the Questioning Sword left by the sword abandoner, and then sat down cross-legged, slowly calmed all his thoughts, and sank his spirit into the sea of knowledge to feel the demeanor of that sword.
The world of knowing the sea is the embodiment of all human memories and thoughts. When a person has a strong impression of something, it will leave a mark in his consciousness.
For monks, there is another and more important use of the sea of knowledge - when a monk learns some extremely profound method, he can spend his mind and mind to engrave it into the sea of knowledge, so that he can study and experience it at any time. And when many elders teach the core exercises to their disciples, they will not leave a message, but pass on a divine thought and imprint it into the other party's sea of knowledge.
This method of learning is very efficient, and the most important thing is that there is no need to worry about the ambiguity caused by words, and it will not be deviated in the process of teaching, so once it was invented, it quickly became popular, and it became the most reliable and effective means of teaching the Fa.
Wu Jie's sea of knowledge, the most obvious is the endless electric light, that is the biggest nightmare in his past life and this life, even if he has re-entered the path, it has not been completely eliminated, in the dead of night, he still has nightmares from time to time, dreaming of the failure of the previous life to cross the catastrophe, and was bombarded by the world destroying god thunder.
However, as his cultivation gradually deepened, the electric light gradually weakened, but the raging flame symbolizing the Dharma-rectification of the Fire Department and the faint white light symbolizing the Heavenly Innocence became clearer and clearer.
In addition to lightning, flames, and white light, there is also a thin book in his sea of knowledge, the pages of which can be turned into a brilliant galaxy, and what is written on the page, except for the "Tianwen", which is slightly different from Qu Yuan's original version, is a fragment of esoteric text.
This is the legacy left to Wu Xie by the predecessor of the traverser, and it is his understanding of the world and the world that he derived from the difference between the two worlds and thinking about the fundamental differences between everything and everything.
Yin Shuang turned this understanding into a Tianwen sword technique that can break through all things, and Wu Xie turned this understanding into a methodology for experiencing all things in the world. Both of them have their own side, or perhaps neither of them has been able to get the essence of it......
In addition to these, there is a chaotic and fragmentary light in Wu Jie's sea of knowledge, which looks blurry and chaotic at first glance, but if you look closely, you can feel a sharp and resolute will, and if you experience it carefully, you can find that inside that light, there are actually countless wonderful sword moves.
This is what the abandoned sword disciples taught to Wu Xie back then, a lot of fragmentary and exquisite sword moves.
Over the past few decades, Wu Xie has successively comprehended many of them. It was also thanks to these realizations that his swordsmanship was not too far away from others, and he still maintained the level of an ordinary monk - which was already remarkable for his talent for swordsmanship, which can be said to be a tragedy!
But what he comprehended, compared to what the sword abandoners taught at that time, was still only one-twelfth of them.
But now, the blurry and messy light became much clearer, as four short swords were hovering around it, emitting a cold glow that illuminated it continuously.
The four swords of the abandoned sword disciple are the foundation of his entire swordsmanship. With these four swords as a reference, many things that I didn't understand before suddenly became clear.
Wu Xie slowly approached the vague light and experienced it carefully.
He was different from others, and for decades, he had been learning the swordsmanship of the Sword Castaway. As long as you can give full play to this accumulation, it is not impossible to cultivate that mysterious fourth sword!
