Chapter 14: The Way of the Kendo

After Gan Shiyi heard this, he immediately remembered a sentence he had heard in his previous life.

"The road is simple, and the different paths are the same."

After hearing this, the patriarch's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately nodded.

After Gan Shiyi said this, he suddenly felt something, and immediately sat down cross-legged to run the exercises.

Seeing this, the patriarch waited with a smile on his face.

After a while, Gan Shiyi opened his eyes in shock.

Obviously, he had only been promoted to the second level of Qi cultivation not long ago, and it was clear that he had also completed his cultivation today.

But just when he realized something, a large amount of spiritual power suddenly appeared in his body.

He hurriedly absorbed it for a while, and his cultivation quickly broke through to the third layer of Qi training.

This promotion speed is too fast, if it is ......

As soon as the joy on Gan Shiyi's face appeared, he heard the voice of the patriarch: "Don't think about it anymore, such a thing as enlightenment is hard to come by, who can enlighten the Tao every day?" ”

Despite this, Gan Shiyi couldn't help but rejoice for a while in order to break through the realm.

At this time, the patriarch on the side also said with a smile: "How about it, you have tasted the benefits of cultivating this road, right?" ”

Gan Shiyi's expression was slightly plustered, and he said, "Patriarch Dao also knows about cultivation? ”

"Nature."

The patriarch nodded matter-of-fact and said, "Don't forget, the Qingyun Sect three thousand years ago was a well-known cultivation sect in the immortal cultivation world. ”

As soon as the patriarch finished speaking, Gan Shiyi immediately asked:

"If that is the case, why have the monks abandoned this path now?"

Patriarch Dao's expression froze, and he said with some embarrassment: "Today's immortal cultivation world is simply another world in my eyes.

They don't cultivate the Tao, and they don't care about the Tao at all, they cultivate immortality!

They just think that cultivation can lead to immortality, so they go to cultivate, without thinking about what they are cultivating. ”

After hearing this, Gan Shiyi thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "What's wrong with immortality?" The Tao is so hard to find, why bother to find it for thousands of people in the world? ”

After hearing this, the patriarch asked with a leisurely smile: "Then do you know that since someone in my Qingyun Sect feathered into an immortal more than three thousand years ago, how many people in the immortal cultivation world in the future have feathered into an immortal?" ”

Gan Shiyi shook his head: "I don't know. ”

In his life, he had never been to other places, so how could he know that there were several people in the immortal cultivation world who had become immortals.

Patriarch Dao smiled again and said, "In the next three thousand years, no one in the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm has become an immortal. ”

"How could it be !??"

Gan Shiyi's face was full of shock, and he couldn't believe it.

Immediately afterward, he hurriedly said, "If this is the case, then why should the monks of the world abandon the path of cultivating the truth? They can't cultivate immortality, no matter how easy their cultivation is, no matter how simple it is, it's useless! ”

Patriarch Dao first looked at him, and then looked at Gan Shiyi with some relaxation and said, "I don't know about this, if you want to know, you can only wait for you to go to the Immortal Cultivation Realm and ask." ”

Gan Shiyi shook his head and said nothing, his expression was a little complicated.

The patriarch on the side urged: "Don't think about it so much, follow me to learn the sword first." ”

......

The patriarch said that he taught swords, but the first one to teach was iron.

And Gan Shiyi didn't know that there was an iron-making room in this temple.

Inside the room, the burning stove reflected the firelight, making the two of them red-faced.

Patriarch Dao looked at Gan Shiyi's puzzled eyes, smiled, took out an iron ingot from the furnace and said, "Ordinary people regard swords as weapons, just lift their swords and kill people."

And what I taught you is not a sharp swordsmanship, not a subtle sword move, but a sword. ”

"Kendo?"

Gan Shiyi muttered, and immediately secretly pondered what kendo was.

"Ding! Bite! Bite! ......”

The patriarch picked up a hammer and began to beat the ingot.

While tapping, he said: "The meaning of the sword, I have talked to people, some people say that the way of the sword is the way of the sword, some people say that the way of the sword is the way of the law, in my opinion, the way of the sword is the sword of the way."

As I said earlier, the sword is nothing more than a medium for the user to comprehend the Tao.

From the sword to the Tao, enlightenment.

Therefore, if you want to practice the way of the sword, the first step is to achieve the unity of the heart and the sword, and only when your heart and the sword in your hand are integrated into one, can you use the sword to realize the Tao. ”

Gan Shiyi was beside him, frowning and pondering, and asked slowly, "Then how to achieve the fusion of heart and sword?" ”

"Ding! Bite! Bite! ......”

The patriarch continued to beat the iron ingot, his expression was a little serious, and the sweat on his cheeks was completely ignored: "Some people sleep with their swords every day, some people dance with swords every day, and some people drink blood with swords every day, do you think these people have really achieved the fusion of heart and sword?" ”

After speaking, the elder put down the hammer and looked at the iron frame.

I saw a red, barely visible sword-shaped 'sword' lying quietly on the iron frame.

Patriarch Dao suddenly stretched out his hand and covered the 'sword' that was flushed all over his body.

"Don't!!"

Gan Shiyi's face was full of eagerness, and he hurriedly reached out and grabbed the hand of the elder Dao holding the sword.

But just as he was about to touch it, the elder Dao actually raised the 'sword' with an unharmed expression.

"How is that possible!?"

Gan Shiyi's face was full of shock, and he couldn't help but blurt out.

He opened his eyes wide and looked carefully, only to see that the old man's sword-holding hand was not damaged in the slightest, and there was no burn at all.

Gan Shiyi stretched out his hand to the 'sword' in disbelief, but before he could touch it, he felt a hot heat.

He was about to shake it ruthlessly, but the patriarch grabbed his hand: "Don't hurt your hand." ”

Gan Shiyi stopped, stunned in place, and looked at the 'fire sword' raised by the patriarch Dao in a daze.

The matter of cultivating immortals has already transcended the establishment of scientific theories in the previous life, and now this scene in front of him has made Gan Shiyi's scientific outlook a little shattered.

The matter of cultivating immortals can be explained by spiritual power, mana, these things, but what about the present?

He has lived with the Elder Dao for these days, and the Elder Dao is indeed an ordinary mortal, without any cultivation.

Gan Shiyi was stunned for a long time, and finally had to mutter, "What is this?" ”

Patriarch Dao put the 'Fire Sword' on the iron frame, and said slowly with a bit of reason: "This is the true fusion of heart and sword. ”

After speaking, the patriarch handed the iron clip to Gan Shiyi and gestured to the stove next to him with his eyes.

Gan Shiyi took the iron clamp and asked, "What should I do?" ”

Elder Dao smiled lightly and said, "It's simple, you just need to think about the sword you want to fight, and then let your heart and sword gradually merge together in the process of building." ”

"That's it?"

"That's it!"

Gan Shiyi picked up the iron clamp, took out an iron ingot from the stove, and placed it on the iron clip.

He looked at the red-hot ingot, and began to think in his mind about what kind of sword he was going to strike.

And this thought made him stunned.

The hammer in his hand was not picked up for a long time, and the red iron ingots were still burning on the iron frame.
