Chapter 21, Conversation
Xiaocao looked at the complicated dancing swords in front of him and was very envious, but unfortunately he was not alone, and he couldn't perform such swordsmanship at all. But it's not impossible.
Xiaocao watched Qing Yun and Aunt Lan chop, chop and stab, as well as the various moves formed by the coherence of various movements, and used his powerful soul to constantly analyze and think. Break down the originally complex moves into various movements of the human body and various movements of the sword. Through this method, an ordinary sword seems to come to life, and is no longer a dead thing.
The true meaning of swordsmanship does not lie in the change of human movements, but in the difference between the trajectory of the sword movement and the magnitude of the force. Therefore, as long as you truly understand why the sword causes damage, that is, it touches the true meaning of the Tao, then even the grass and trees can be transformed into a divine sword that reaches the sky!
It can be described as a blow and the avenue follows, terrifying and boundless.
Although Xiaocao has not been able to use the sword today, he is understanding the true meaning of the sword, although his knowledge is limited, but this method is enough for him to have the qualifications to climb upwards
Woohoo!
The friction between the long sword in Qing Yun's hand and the ground caused a cautious clang, and Xiaocao came back to his senses again to look at Qing Yun. A look of confusion.
"Alas, I almost lost my balance, it's so dangerous!" Qing Yun sighed and looked at the long sword that was scratched into the ground and tore a hole in the ground, and couldn't help but feel guilty, "I don't know if I broke Aunt Lan's sword?" Qing Yun thought secretly.
She carefully pulled out the sword that had been inserted into the ground and looked at it to see if there was any gap, but luckily it was undamaged.
Aunt Lan looked at Qing Yun's meticulous movements, she was very satisfied, she opened her mouth and said: "Those who use swords must cherish their own swords, if they only use the sword as a tool, then swordsmanship cannot be cultivated to the highest level no matter what, cherish the sword in your hand in order to enter the realm of the unity of man and sword, otherwise the cold sword cannot be connected with the person himself!
"Understood!" Qingyun replied as if she didn't understand, it was the first time she had come into contact with these truths, and she was still slightly puzzled.
"It's good to understand. Aunt Lan nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "What do you think of that set of basic spiritual cultivation decisions, do you understand?"
"I've read it many times, and I don't know if I understand it correctly, but I've learned a little. Qingyun said.
"Tell me about it. Aunt Lan then asked, she had studied the book for a long time and had not gained anything, it was like reading a book from heaven, and she was already very distressed in her heart, but unfortunately there was nothing she could do.
"Spiritual cultivation is to obtain an artistic conception by virtue of the comprehension of meritorious decisions, and when a person falls into this artistic conception, the body and mind can resonate with heaven and earth, so as to attract the aura between heaven and earth into one's own body. After entering, a part of the aura will eventually stay in the **, and when the aura in the body is enough, it can touch a place called Lingque in the body, so as to open the path of spiritual cultivation. Qingyun recalled the harvest of the previous day and said with a little doubt, as if she was worried that something had gone wrong.
"That's all I can understand now. Qing Yun looked at Aunt Lan's brows slightly furrowed and added with a slightly thoughtful expression.
"Alas, you are more talented, you understand much more than me, and I am ashamed to say that I don't understand what this book says, let alone any artistic conception. After a long time, Aunt Lan sighed helplessly, with a bleak smile on her face. "I thought that I would be able to cultivate if I obtained the spiritual cultivation technique, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult. ”
Aunt Lan didn't stand in the courtyard but walked into the room, "Qingyun, don't practice yet, come in." Aunt Lan looked at Qing Yun, who was still holding the sword, and called.
"Well, here we go. Qing Yun wiped the long sword slightly, put it in the scabbard, picked it up and put it in the grass not far away, and walked into the room.
After these actions, Aunt Lan had already entered the room, and she could even be seen sitting on the chair at this time, smiling and looking at Qingyun who was busy wiping her sword and holding grass, her eyes were filled with happiness, as if she was as happy as her.
"It's my blessing to have you by my side!" Aunt Lan said with emotion to Qingyun who came in.
Qing Yun was stunned for a moment when she heard this, she didn't know why Aunt Lan would suddenly say these things to her. "Aunt Lan, what are you talking about?" Qingyun then asked.
"I am so grateful to God for giving me the opportunity to meet you, and I am so grateful to you that I have a life with joy and sorrow, intertwined with love and hate. Aunt Lan explained.
"I can meet you, Aunt Lan, that is my great blessing, it is you who make me feel the warmth of my family again, otherwise I am just a child without a home. Qingyun looked at Aunt Lan and said lightly, but there was a trace of sad thoughts in her words.
"Actually, I'm just a useless person!" Aunt Lan smiled miserably, her eyes showing pain.
"Back then, I once went to Qingfeng City, which was the closest city to here, but unfortunately I couldn't pass the sect assessment, and I haven't been able to get on the spiritual path ever since. And after returning home, I was the only one left in my family, everyone in my family was killed, and I became an orphan, alas, ......" Aunt Lan sighed again, her heart was full of sourness.
"But I was lucky enough to worship a chivalrous man as a teacher to learn a martial art, and I slashed the enemy. It's a pity that I'm a world away from the real masters. Qing Yun, your talent is much higher than mine, you should have the hope of passing the assessment! The first day of the seventh month of July every year is the time for the Qingfeng Sect of Qingfeng City to accept disciples, you should prepare early! I hope you don't be just a mortal for the rest of your life like me!" Aunt Lan said as she stared at Qing Yun with anticipation.
"Okay! I'm not going to fail. But Aunt Lan, you don't have to worry too much about the past, relax and it will be better in the future. At least me. Qingyun didn't know where to start, so she hurriedly comforted her.
"Silly boy, how can I not understand what you said? You are much more qualified now than I was back then, I was just a little girl who didn't know anything, unlike you who can learn martial arts, and even have spiritual cultivation, you must practice diligently, don't slack off!" Aunt Lan thought about it and said affirmatively.
"Got it. Qing Yun responded, showing a pure smile, but also with an unwavering look.
"And that little grass is absolutely extraordinary, you must protect it well, it is better to put it in a bag, not to show it in front of people, it is very dangerous. There is no shortage of bad people in this world. Aunt Lan looked at the grass in Qing Yun's arms and continued.
"Aunt Lan...... You know that. Well, I will. Qingyun touched the grass in her arms, full of pity and worry.
Then Qingyun drank a few sips of water and began to practice swordsmanship again.
