Chapter 5: Talking about the Sword
Pei Ye does have some literacy skills, but knowing "big" does not mean knowing "quail", and being able to read the book does not mean that he can read the Five Classics.
And with this concise and esoteric book in his hand, Pei Ye may have to study it for a long time in one sentence.
"I'm less literate." Pei Ye repeated it again.
Ming Qitian was quiet for a while, and then said slowly: "Then, you always have to learn, right?" β
"Hmm...... I'm trying to find someone to learn this month. β
Ming Qitian nodded, slightly relieved - when she promised Yue Muzhou, she really didn't make preparations to teach people to read.
"That's good, you can learn and watch as much as you can."
"Okay."
"And then let's move on to the opening sword that we just started." Ming Qi Tiandao, "In the "Introduction", the sword cultivation is divided into five realms: 'clumsy', 'spirit', 'mind', 'heart', and 'Tao', and the road of sword cultivation is indeed roughly the same. β
"I want to hear it...... I would like to hear about it. β
"Clumsy is the realm of mastery. Make a swordsmanship, there is no mistake in the moves, the strength of the force is on the point, and after a long time, you can get the samadhi of the sword, and the battle against the enemy is like an arm command, this so-called clumsy situation. β
ββ¦β¦ Is this a clumsy situation? Pei Ye frowned, "Then, many people have practiced a sword technique for ten or twenty years, which is such a realm?" β
"Yes, they're all clumsy."
"Then there are many peopleβeven if they are masters of three or four livesβwho can't be fully completed with the power of the sword, what realm are they?"
"The realm of the sword has nothing to do with the realm of cultivation, as long as you still make mistakes in the moves, you are all swordsmen who do not enter the stream."
ββ¦β¦ Then I still have a question about Miss Ming, the difficulty of swordsmanship is also different, some people practice an extremely difficult swordsmanship, and they can't succeed in seven or eight years; The other person only practiced the open-door sword, and he could not make mistakes in a few months. So who is considered a 'clumsy' realm? "Pei Ye has always had the habit of asking the bottom of things.
Ming Qitian shook his head: "The humble realm is not based on learning a certain sword technique, I am just an example above." Seriously, it's a kind of sword control. When you're familiar enough with the sword, friendly enough, and precise enough to wield it, you're in for a fool. You will feel that the sword is fitting your body. β
"Moreover, as far as we are concerned, there is no really difficult sword technique in the humble realm, and any sword technique should be able to be learned within six months." Ming Qitian added.
Pei Ye didn't expect to bring himself with him in this arrogant sentence, but the woman's voice was not agitated, she was just stating normally, as natural as handing him a pear before.
And according to the woman's eyesight that saw through the wall before, the period of "six months" is obviously according to him.
"Can these realms also be used to divide swordsmanship?" Pei Liquid Road.
Ming Qitian nodded: "It is indeed an unwritten way of division, and the upper limit of a sword determines its level." β
Pei Ye raised his head and thought, "Miss Ming, I heard that the White Deer Palace is famous for its skills, are they all clumsy swordsmanship?" β
Ming Qitian smiled and shook his head: "Let's just say that their sword-White Deer Palace's path is an attempt to stand at the top of the sword path, they are extremely focused on sword skills, not to abandon the higher realm, but precisely to use 'skills' to reach the realms of mind, heart, and Dao, this is a way to take shortcuts, which can save the long-term accumulation of understanding." β
Pei Ye seems to understand whether he understands or not.
Ming Qitian continued: "If you have the opportunity to learn their complicated things, you will have a sense of disconnection. That is, you can still learn those extremely refined sword moves in six months, but when you want to find more extreme 'skills', you will find it extremely difficult - in fact, because you have already left the humble realm and started to try to jump up to the three realms. β
"The sword skills of the White Deer Palace are very mature in terms of 'clumsy' and 'spiritual', and their magic can save the disciples a lot of effort, so the disciples of the White Deer Palace are all equipped with unique 'skills'. It is not too rare to use 'clumsy' to achieve 'meaning', but there are only a handful of 'clumsy' to reach 'heart', and 'clumsy' to achieve 'Tao' seems to have only appeared in previous generations, and contemporary figures should be people who have not yet achieved success. β
Pei Li's mouth opened slightly and nodded slowly.
This is a famous teacher, this is a high-level building. The mysterious and majestic martial arts holy land of Bailu Palace, the behemoth entrenched in the southwest, the worship of eating the big and small cloud mountains, and the face of the Longjun Dongting, every disciple of the world can teach the corpses of those great heroes in the rivers and lakes to separate.
Now it has been dismantled clearly in a few words.
"Let's go back to the realm." Ming Qi Tiandao, "'Spirit', the realm of integration." In this realm, you no longer just use the sword, but begin to understand the sword. There is no longer such a clear distinction between different sword techniques, and the moves are no longer so one-size-fits-all, any sword technique is just a use of the sword, so you can use it at your fingertips. β
Pei Ye suddenly thought of what she had done when she fought against Long Jun the night before.
But in fact, the most shocking thing about that scene is not the ease of understanding different swordsmanship, but the number of those "different swordsmanship" is like a sea.
It can be seen that there is also a gap between the 'spiritual' realm.
"Just as the core of the 'clumsy' realm is the mastery of the sword, the core of the 'spirit' realm is the understanding of the sword. It is not that being able to fuse different sword moves is considered a 'spirit', its true meaning is actually 'no move to win a move'. Ming Qitian continued, "When the 'spirit' realm reaches the highest, it has reached the top at the level of sword moves, and there is no confusion at hand, no matter how wonderful the sword moves, as long as it is still in the 'move', it is just a sword that stabs or slashes in your eyes. β
Pei Li was fascinated when he heard it.
"'Meaning', the realm of affection." Ming Qitian continued to tell the story, she looks lofty and cold, but in fact, she usually doesn't talk a lot, and she won't condense the words and pretend to be cold when talking to people, and now when she talks about the sword, she is even more nuanced and tireless.
"The first two realms are only related to your body, while the 'mind' involves one of the 'feelings'. Your mood, your beliefs, your emotions, your realizations, and so on, can turn them into the sword and become the sword intent, which can be said to have entered the realm of 'intention'. β
"From this realm, your sword begins to take on its own color, not just the use of other people's achievements. Therefore, stepping into this realm can be regarded as entering the house in the sword road. β
"This realm is the most expansive realm, and it is also the supreme realm of the sword path for many geniuses. Countless kendo masters have spent their entire lives pondering in this realm, and even if they belong to the same realm of 'meaning', different people's kendo attainments may be very different. β
Pei Ye knew at this time that the "only way to enter the house" in the previous sentence was obviously subjective.
"As for the two realms of 'heart' and 'dao', they are too far away, so there is no need to talk about them for the time being."
"Huh? I'd like to hear it, Mr. Ming. β
Thank you for the reward from the boss of Xijiangyue! Boss atmosphere!
