Since he started to learn swords, Gu Yusheng would go to Qingping Mountain between the clouds and mist half an hour earlier than yesterday every day.

Mr. Qin, who carried the sword box on his back, would always sit cross-legged on the stone on the flat ground and wait for him.

Qin Jiu is a person of few words, except when he is instructing Gu Yu to practice, most of the time, he sits cross-legged and silent, staring at the sky.

For Gu Yusheng's kendo cultivation, Qin Jiu was almost harsh, he didn't allow Gu Yusheng to have any flaws and mistakes in his basic sword moves, his eyes would always rotate with the wooden sword in Gu Yusheng's hand.

And Gu Yusheng has never had the idea of being lazy, practicing swords and sitting every day, all of which are meticulous.

Until half a month later.

Gu Yusheng finished practicing the basic fourteen forms, and Qin Jiu signaled Gu Yusheng to stop, and said: "Spring solstice and summer birth, every day is getting longer, from the first day you practice swords, the time to practice swords every day is increasing, when you go up the mountain, can you see that the peach blossoms in the mountain have bloomed to the fullest?" ”

Gu Yusheng replied: "Sir, I saw it." ”

"Half a month of penance, but also to relax appropriately, let's practice here today, you are at your age, you naturally like this mountain and water, rest for half a day."

Gu Yusheng shook his hands and replied: "Sir, Qingshan is not old year after year, spring after spring, but I am growing up every day, I dare not slack off, and I ask Mr. to continue to teach me kendo." ”

Qin Jiu stared at Gu Yusheng for a long time before he said: "It's okay, the young man is full of spirit, vigorous, if you want to learn more, I will teach you more, I will pass on you a sense of heart, so that you can comprehend the true meaning of the sword as soon as possible, every day but there is leisure, you can sit and watch the sword, remember, the mountain is a sword, the water is also a sword, don't be bound by the world in your eyes, and don't ignore the world in your eyes." ”

Qin Jiu took a bamboo stick and wrote the induction heart recipe on the ground word by word, and after Gu Yusheng remembered it, he would erase the words written in front of him.

This induction trick was only a few hundred words, and Gu Yusheng quickly remembered it.

Qin Jiu was very satisfied with Gu Yusheng's memory and understanding.

He got up from the sitting state, stood on the edge of the cliff, and said: "I have watched you practice swords recently, and the control of sword qi has reached the fire, and the sword momentum is also condensed like a mountain, only the accumulation of time can be achieved, according to your cultivation speed is already extremely fast, but you are still a long way from the real way of the sword, the sword is successful, the next step should be to know the sword intent, you must know the sword, and the sword must also communicate with your heart." ”

Gu Yusheng listened carefully, and only when he could ask did he speak: "Sir, don't I have to start over with my sword path?" ”

Qin Jiu said patiently: "Everything goes with the flow, sword training is also a matter of course, flowing water, a person's efforts will not be disappointed, I am just re-consolidating your foundation." ”

"The way of the sword in the world can include the sword battle of the people in the market, and also includes the sword to kill the enemy, the cultivators in the world, whether it is boxing or sword training, they all pursue to defeat the enemy with force or to kill the enemy with profit, this is not superior, after cultivating to the soul condensing realm, among the practitioners, most of them win by the realm, learn one or two magical powers, you can kill demons, or the Quartet."

"Only the sword is different, the sword is the way, not the art, the way to go, not necessarily the way, this world, there are three thousand arts, the way of the sword is only one of them, there are so many cultivators in the world, how many people can realize the Tao?"

When Gu Yusheng heard this, he couldn't help but stand up straight, his eyes gradually became brighter, and he clenched the wooden sword in his hand, feeling the heaviness and profundity of the sword for the first time.

His eyes were full of curiosity, and he said sincerely: "Sir, please teach me." ”

The sun fell on Qin Jiu's face, and his face gradually became clear, clear, and angular.

Qin Jiu took Gu Yusheng to Qingping Mountain step by step, and said as he walked: "There are a lot of sword practitioners in this world, most of them control the sword in their hands with the cultivation realm, hurt people with sword qi, and the sword momentum is overwhelming, but there are very few people who can comprehend the sword intent, they think that the sword in their hands is the inevitable result of cultivating to a high level, but in fact, this is contrary to the way of the sword." ”

"At the beginning of learning swords, it is normal to pursue sword sharpness, but you have to remember that if you want to practice swordsmanship, you must follow your own path, and you must comprehend your own sword intent."

Speaking of this, Qin Jiu sighed slightly, his eyes showed reminiscence, and his expression was a little gloomy.

"The human race is weak, I have also survived under the claws of demon beasts, when I was young, I also had the idea of pursuing sword sharpness and slaying demons, and when my cultivation deepens and I understand the reason, there is no turning back."

Gu Yusheng could feel Qin Jiu's regret when he said these words, but he didn't know how to open his mouth in order to comfort the old man in front of him, he pondered for a moment and said: "Maybe if Mr. didn't use his sword to cut through thorns and thorns back then, there would be no continuation of our human race today, Sir's sword has saved the world." ”

Hearing Gu Yusheng's words, Qin Jiu stopped, and his face became solemn: "Child, I am not so great, remember, to be a man and do things, lies in abiding by your heart, don't have the grand idea of saving the world, whether you are a person or not, the more you are capable, the more you will shoulder, one day, you will crush yourself, the good and evil of people are by no means evaluated by the sword in your hand, to be a man is to be yourself." ”

Qin Jiu raised his hand casually, and a peach blossom fell on his palm, he stretched out his palm in front of Gu Yusheng, and said kindly: "How is it?" Pretty, right? ”

Gu Yusheng nodded.

Qin Jiu flipped his palm, covered the peach blossoms on the ground, and said: "People think that peach blossoms are beautiful because they are beautiful and fragrant, so they will subconsciously ignore the weeds and weeds next to them, and take peach blossoms as good. ”

Gu Yusheng heard this, thoughtful, but he was still young and couldn't fully comprehend it.

Qin Jiu didn't care, he still carried the sword box on his back and walked forward, teaching Gu Yusheng as if he was talking about ordinary things:

"Just now you said, I slashed the demon with a sword for the benefit of the human race, but you have to understand that in the eyes of the demon clan, I am the great evil who killed their clansmen.

"Whether it's a demon or a person, the disturbances in this world have never really stopped, demons feed on demons, feed on people, they distinguish between good and evil? In this world, how many people claim to be famous and upright, or great heroes of demon slaying, but we know that the demons who died under their swords have also had demons that have never harmed people. ”

"If one day, there is no big demon raging in this world, will the world really be peaceful?"

Qin Jiu spoke earnestly.

"Therefore, no matter when and where, when and where you hold the sword, you must have your own heart, the sword is unsheathed, obey your heart, kill what should be killed, and you must not be soft-hearted, the sword is returned to the sheath, and you must leave three points of goodwill, giving this cold world a little warmth."

"I know you're carrying a lot."

"But I want you to be pure on the way to the sword."
