XXVII. Bicommunal Negotiations (3)
Han Wenzheng smiled and said: "Qingjie, although I have not cultivated the Wuji Sword Dao, but the Xuanyuan Sword Dao that I obtained from the Yellow Emperor's Majesty is also created by the patriarch of Lao Tzu, and it is in the same vein as the Wuji Sword Dao, it can be said that it is also related, I have been practicing for a longer time than you, and although the Kendo I have learned is not as profound as yours, it can also be discussed." (Attached: In the legend, the teacher of the Yellow Emperor is Guangchengzi, the eldest disciple of the Yuan Shi Tianzun, but Guangchengzi is not specialized in swordsmanship, but the Yellow Emperor is the leader of the world with swordsmanship. Among the three ancient emperors, Emperor Fu Xi created gossip, on the one hand, because of his talent, and on the other hand, because he was the brother of Nuwa Niangniang, the ancient power. The Earth Emperor Shennong, what he inherits is the Dan Dao of the patriarch of Laozi, although the way of alchemy is not blue, but it is not much different. As one of the three ancient emperors, the Yellow Emperor would not be able to say if he did not inherit a little ability from Lao Tzu, so the Xuanyuan Kendo in this book was created by Lao Tzu. )
Fang Qingjie asked: "Grandpa, you have been practicing kendo for so long, I am only a beginner, and I only know a little about Wuji Kendo, although I can use it, I can't exert the power of Wuji Kendo, it's really embarrassing." "Hehe, Qingjie, that's because your cultivation is low, and your comprehension of kendo is still low. Qingjie, let me ask you, what do you think about the way of the sword?" "The sword is the soldier's soldier, the gentleman holds the world, returns the world to peace, educates all sentient beings, and the sword symbolizes benevolence, wisdom, strength and courage. ”
Han Wenzheng smiled and said, "Yes, the sword has the meaning of these four symbols. But in our Yanhuang clan, regardless of other side weapons, there are a total of eighteen kinds of weapons, knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, axes, hooks, forks, whips, maces, hammers, grasps, hammers, sticks, lances, sticks, crutches, abductors, meteors, among the eighteen kinds of weapons, when it comes to lethality and other aspects, the sword is not outstanding, but the sword has been praised by the generations, do you know why?" Fang Qingjie shook his head: "Grandpa, my grandson doesn't know." ”
Han Wenzheng said: "Among the eighteen kinds of weapons, there are many strange ones, none other than the abduction meteor." When it comes to the strength of the big move, it is better than the stick. When it comes to fierceness, there is nothing more than an axe. If it is said that in the battlefield, the most used is the gun, which is known as a person like a tiger, a gun like a dragon, and a cultivator has a saying that the sword and the moon stick are a lifetime gun. However, when it comes to the most lethal, it must be called a knife. The only weapon that really kills countless people and is known for its lethality is the knife. Among the eighteen kinds of weapons, the sword is not inconspicuous at all, but the sword is the most praised, which is the sword closest to the way of heaven, and the way of heaven with the humane soldier. ”
Fang Qingjie could only shake his head. Han Wenzheng said: "Those who use swords cannot compete with swords, if swords fight each other, they must be broken and the swords are not damaged." The sword can't compete with the gun, the gun is like a dragon, and its ingenuity is incomparable, which is also incomparable to the sword. The sword must not compete with the club, and if the sword fights with the club, it must be broken. However, what the sword has is not found in other weapons, and the reason for this is the word moderation. ”
"Although the knife is sharp, it is light. Although the gun is brave and invincible, it is unmatched, but it is not sharp. Although the hammer is powerful, it lacks dexterity. Therefore, although the sword is not as long as all kinds of weapons, but it is also not as short as all kinds of weapons, whether it is stepping down immediately, fighting for supremacy or fighting on the battlefield, the sword can shine brightly, so to speak, the sword can be used anywhere. This is something that no other weapon can do. ”
"The sword because of the mean, but pay more attention to the use of the sword skills, the world, the world where there is a long, will hold the strength and proud of the world, but it is difficult to see their own shortcomings, therefore, the strength of people is often the root of defeat. For example, those who are brave and brave are generally proud of the world with their own abilities, but they have not heard of Yan Zi's two peach killing three soldiers. Those who are resourceful and resourceful have their own wisdom and small world, but they do not know that within five steps, they can destroy the world. Only those who are in the middle can always be vigilant, not arrogant or arrogant, and can laugh to the bottom. ”
Fang Qingjie asked a little confused: "Grandpa, my grandson doesn't understand, what does this kind of life have to do with the way of the sword?" "To be a man is to practice swords, and to practice swords is to be a man." We Yanhuang people's knowledge, there has never been a clear distinction, if the good face is to study medicine, it will be a hundred times easier than others to get started, if the good general is to learn chess, within a few years to be determined to be a chess player who is not born, all the knowledge of my Yanhuang clan, which has something in common, the so-called one reason and one hundred reasons are exactly what it means. Of course, this topic is far away. Qingjie, let's assume that if you were just an ordinary person who was not good in every way, what would you do?"
Fang Qingjie was stunned, but he never thought about this one: "Grandpa, I have to think about it." Fang Qingjie fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he said: "Grandpa, I understand, if you don't have outstanding talents, but you want to compete with the world, you must pay a hundred times more effort and sweat than a genius." Those who use swords, precisely because swords are not good at it, therefore, if you want to compete with the world with swords, you must work hard a hundred times to succeed. Those who work hard will reap the rewards. ”
Han Wenzheng smiled and said, "Qingjie is worthy of being a genius, and he understood it so quickly." Yes, the sword cannot compare with other weapons, but it can use its own strengths to overcome the enemy's shortcomings, which requires the sword user to put in more hard work, which is the way of heaven to reward diligence. ”
"Grandpa, I understand this, so why is there only the way of the sword among the eighteen weapons, but there is no way of the sword and the way of the gun?" Fang Qingjie asked again. "The way of the sword is also the way of heaven, and the way of using the sword is the way of tomorrow. He who wields the sword does not use the sword by force, but with wisdom. Killing with the sword is not killing for the sake of killing, but killing for the sake of the world. Fighting the world with a sword is to level the world. Whether it's the world or the world, it's all the way of heaven. A gentleman walks with a sword, not with a sword, but with wisdom, strength, courage, and righteousness. The sword kills and the gun is the emperor, and the halberd is domineering and the stick is respected, all of which are only brave and not benevolent and wise, so they are not worthy of the Tao. ”
Fang Qingjie realized and thanked Han Wenzheng: "Thank you grandpa for your guidance." "When you comprehend humanity, you will understand the way of the sword, understand the way of the sword with humanity, and prove the way of heaven with the way of the sword, and the moment you can prove the way of heaven, you can be holy." ”
Fang Qingjie asked again: "Grandpa, when you get to the Divine Light Star, can you send me to fight the first game?" "What are you doing?" "My cultivation has reached a bottleneck, and if I continue to cultivate like this, I won't make any progress, only in the battle of life and death can I break through myself and break through to a higher realm." But I couldn't find an opponent, so I wanted to fight the first fight. ”
Han Wenzheng smiled and said: "There is a great terror between life and death, and if you wander between life and death, you will have the opportunity to break through the original realm and go further." This is called fighting to feed war. That's what you think, right?" "Yes, Grandpa. ". Han Wenzheng vetoed it, "That's pure bastard talk." ”
Fang Qingjie was stunned and said, "Grandpa, but that's what Dad said." "That's just a possibility, not all, the battle of life and death is that many people can break through to the original realm, but it doesn't mean that this is the only way to break through the realm, let alone a secret recipe, a universal method. The battle of life and death is indeed more effective, but it is not omnipotent. Your grandfather and I were on the battlefield back then, and I don't know how many times I have experienced the experience of revitalizing my life, but my strength has not improved significantly, and it is still the same, which proves that this method is not effective for everyone. If according to this statement, the person who often encounters the danger of life and death is the strongest, isn't that bastard?"
Fang Qingjie scratched his head and said: "Grandpa, people who often wander between life and death have rich experience in actual combat, and it is easy to break through the realm, and their strength is indeed much stronger than those who always practice behind closed doors. "Yes, which of the seven saints of my Yanhuang clan is the strongest?"
Fang Qingjie was stunned for a while, and then said: "Although the seven saints have not fought seriously, and they have not fought a battle of life and death, in terms of strength, it should be the strongest of the four generations of patriarchs." "Yes, the strength of the patriarch of Lao Tzu is recognized as the strongest among the seven saints, but does the patriarch of Lao Tzu often fight battles of life and death?" "This ....... ”
Han Wenzheng interrupted him and said: "The patriarch of Lao Tzu has great luck, as soon as he was born, he has such a treasure as the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Xuanhuang Pagoda, you also know the Tao, the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Xuanhuang Pagoda hangs on his head, there are thousands of feet of Xuanhuang Qi hanging down, and ten thousand laws do not invade, it can be said that when the patriarch of Laozi was fighting, he sacrificed the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Xuanhuang Pagoda, that is, he stood there, let others fight, and others could not beat him, so what danger did he have?" It can be said that among my Yanhuang clan, the one who is afraid of encountering the least danger is the patriarch of Laozi, and the one who has experienced the battle of life and death is the patriarch of Laozi, but the strength of the patriarch of Laozi is the strongest. ”
Fang Qingjie thought about it and understood, it was true, which refuted the statement that the battle of life and death could improve strength and break through the realm. "When the literati write poetry, they pay attention to writing scenes with feelings, and touching scenes to generate feelings. Martial arts battles, there is improvement between life and death, that is normal, but this is all about the accumulation in peacetime, and if you can't accumulate it, it is useless to fight life and death. Just like an illiterate, no matter what good times you are, you can't write good poetry. Tell me, among our Yanhuang clan, there is a world-shattering masterpiece, and there is a world-shattering painting that the author wrote and painted in a hurry?"
"No, absolutely not. Wu Chengen wrote "Journey to the West", which lasted for decades. Luo Guanzhong's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was also poor for more than ten years. Legend has it that Shi Nai'an wrote "Water Margin", and asked the painter to make a portrait of the 36 stars of Tiangang, observe it all the time, and imagine each person's character from time to time, so that he wrote a character with different personalities. Cao Xueqin's "Dream of Red Mansions" has been writing non-stop for more than 30 years, and it took 30 years to write "Dream of Red Mansions". Regarding this, Fang Qingjie said with great certainty.
After Fang Qingjie finished speaking, he realized, I see, if you want to break through to the next realm, whether it is a writer or a martial artist, the most important thing is the usual accumulation, the accumulation is enough, the realm will naturally break through, and if you can't accumulate, no matter how much you ask for it, it's useless, this is the royal way of true cultivation.
Han Wenzheng smiled and said: "Yes, that's right, it's best if you understand, it's not difficult to break through the realm, the key is your own accumulation, if you accumulate enough, then you can break through at any time, if the accumulation is not enough, then it is useless to pursue the battle of life and death." All knowledge is like this, if it is for ordinary mortals, only tens of years old, then of course you have to keep seeking a quick breakthrough, but for you, you don't need to be like this, you just need to keep accumulating, and when the time comes, it will naturally come to fruition. "I see, Grandpa, thank you. ”
