"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.

Gan Shiyi had never thought about what kind of sword he needed.

Neither in the previous life nor in this life, he had never touched a sword.

He just remembered those chivalrous swordsmen, as well as the sword fairies in white clothes, and thought they were very handsome, so he wanted to learn swords.

Now that he suddenly had to come up with the sword he wanted, he didn't even think of it after searching for a long time in his mind.

It's just that he suddenly remembered what the patriarch said just now: the sword is the medium for the user to comprehend the Tao.

How do you use the sword to comprehend the Tao?

From the sword moves? From swordsmanship?

Wrong!

"Kendo is originally a sword in the way."

Suddenly, the voice of the patriarch suddenly echoed in his head.

Kendo is originally a sword in the way?

Kendo is the sword of the way!!

In a trance, Gan Shiyi remembered what he had just said: The road is simple, and the different paths are the same.

There is also the feeling of that night in the mountain road: the Tao is all things in the world.

So......

Gan Shiyi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he swung his hammer violently, smashing it into the burning iron ingots on the iron frame.

"Ding! Bite! Bite! ......”

After a while, the iron ingot slowly changed, from an irregularly shaped iron ingot to a thick, short, and ugly 'iron rod'.

"Whew..."

Gan Shiyi was panting and sweating like rain, but his eyes were extraordinarily bright.

He stretched out his trembling right hand and slowly reached for the iron rod that was red and radiated with hot heat.

Without feeling any heat, Gan Shiyi directly held the iron rod with his hand.

Just like the old Taoist before, I can't feel the hot heat at all.

Gan Shiyi slowly raised his hand, raised the iron rod in his hand, and watched firmly.

"Unlock Talent: Kendo Beginner (Perception +10, Kendo Qualification +20, Sword Mastery Speed +20%)"

Hearing the sound of the system's ascension, Gan Shiyi was slightly stunned, and then replaced the talent of the original intention of the sword.

In an instant, Gan Shiyi felt that the Dao between heaven and earth felt clearer, and not only that, but some understanding of the Dao of the Sword also rose in his heart.

He held the iron rod in his hand, thinking about the way the patriarch was holding the wooden stick before, thinking about the burning stove in the house, and slowly handed it forward.

Suddenly, the mana in the body quickly flowed to the iron rod, and the iron rod also instantly erupted with a more fiery heat.

This heat made the fire in the furnace suddenly stop for a while.

"Boom!"

A swift wave of heat erupted from the iron bar, but quickly dissipated.

The iron rods also turned a cold black-gray color.

"You really have a relationship with the Tao!"

Gan Shiyi turned his head, and saw that the patriarch Dao had a complicated expression on his face, both envious and happy.

"What are you going to name this sword?"

"Name?"

Gan Shiyi carefully looked at the 'sword' in his hand for a while, and said slowly: "Let's see Chengdao." ”

Although this 'sword' does not seem to have the form of a sword, it carries the Tao of Gan Shiyi.

Because in the beating again and again, Gan Shiyi has integrated all the understanding of the Tao in his heart into this 'sword'.

It is the sword in Gan Shiyi's hand, and it is also the Tao in Gan Shiyi's heart.

This is the use of the "sword" as a medium to comprehend the Tao.

Use your own way to gradually deepen and comprehend the way of the world.

"Chengdao? Enlightenment! Well, that's good!

It seems that you have a deeper understanding of the Tao, and in that case, then the rest of the matter will be simpler. ”

After the patriarch said with praise, he turned around and took the lead and walked out.

The two of them came to a library room, where a large number of books in the world were piled up, covering everything in the world.

On a desk in the middle of the room, there are a few pens, some drawn runes and some rune papers that have not yet been written.

The painted talismans on the table are all common talismans in ordinary households, such as: asking for wealth, good luck, going to disasters, warding off evil spirits, and meditating.

Gan Shiyi looked at the talismans in front of the table, thinking about what the old man's intentions were.

I saw that the patriarch said with a smile: "What to do, you should change it to know!" ”

With that, he turned and left.
