In the martial arts training field in front of the palace, after Ye Yunsheng taught Ah Yu swordsmanship, and then compared swords with Huo Longzi, it was a dispute and a fight, and nearly half an hour had passed.

Ye Yunsheng was about to speak, but was interrupted by Ling Yuanzi, it was almost time to preach, and since Ye Yunsheng wanted to explain, with his views on the way of the sword, for all the disciples, including these senior brothers, it was regarded as teaching the scriptures, so he proposed to enter the Sanqing Palace.

Where is he willing, and he was persuaded by Xuan Zhenzi and Changxingzi, you have not been on the mountain all these years, this time you come back, cultivate for diligence, and understand the Tao, why don't you teach the experience to the younger generations of the teacher?

Only then did he follow into the Sanqing Palace.

Ling Yuanzi asked him to step forward, go to the statue of the Sanqing Patriarch, and let him sit down on the main futon.

They have all entered the Sanqing Palace, and he will no longer retreat, and after he sits down, everyone will go to the corner and take the futon to sit down below.

He thought about it for a while and said, "In addition to the senior brothers and brothers, I don't know who else has heard the story of being invincible in the world?"

A few junior brothers of the same generation in front, and a group of disciples and juniors sitting behind, roughly speaking, there are about 20 people.

They all said that they had never heard of it.

Ye Yunsheng raised his breath and said in a clear voice: "According to legend, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Chen Dynasty Liang Ding was Jiankang, and in the fifth year of the founding of the country, there was a strange person, surnamed Yu Yushun, who traveled all over the Central Plains, and fought countless heroes in the world, from south to north, no one could stop him. In only three years, he was called invincible in the world. ”

There was a lively disciple below, who asked loudly, "What kind of weapon and what kind of martial arts does this Yu Shun make?"

Ye Yunsheng said: "The adults in his family invited three masters for him, and he taught him all eighteen weapons, but he didn't use any of them well...... In the end, he practiced a pair of iron palms, and broke the sword, no matter who came, only the palm shadow of the sky was hit, so that others couldn't see a move, so it was called the wind and shadow. ”

Then the disciple asked, "No one can cure him?"

For a while, all the disciples were gossiping, and the Sanqing Hall suddenly became noisy, but it also had more youthful vitality.

Ye Yunsheng smiled, while he was nostalgic, he waited for them to stop.

It was still the senior brother Ling Yuanzi who shouted on the side: "Quiet!"

Ye Yunsheng continued: "One day, Yu Shun passed by a temple, went in to rest, looked up, in the small temple, there was a statue, bast shoes, cloth clothes, half-bald head, left hand hanging, right hand half-support, a swimming fish by his side. ”

Ye Yunsheng glanced at everyone, and even the youngest disciple showed a knowing expression.

Yu Shun didn't understand what this statue was, but an old Taoist priest stumbled in from outside, drinking and sitting down on the round seat in front of the statue. He asked, and the old Taoist priest was sloppy, with a full beard, and a long short person, looking very humble and funny. He said, 'Lao Dao is the only place for Nanhua real people, and the temple is too small to fit other immortals.' Then he asked, 'Who are you, so imposing?'"

"I am invincible Yu Shun in the world. ”

"The old Taoist priest laughed when he heard this, and said, 'How can you be invincible in the world?'"

"Among the heroes of the world, I have been looking for three years, but I can't find anyone who can match it, and the world calls me invincible, why not?"

Ye Yunsheng pointed in front of him, imitating the appearance of the old Taoist priest at that time.

"You've been looking for three years, and I'll tell you, you've found it today. ”

"What? You say you can beat me?"

"The old Taoist priest hurriedly waved his hand and said, 'I don't even know martial arts, how can I be your opponent?'

Several of Ye Yunsheng's senior brothers had heard this story back then, and there was nothing strange about it, but the disciples did not, and when they heard this, they all fell into deep thought, and the disciple who asked the question before moved his mouth, but still chose to be silent.

"If you can't win yourself, how can you say that you are invincible in the world?"

Yu Shun thought for a while, and felt that what the old Taoist priest said made sense, so he said, 'Then I'll try.' ’”

"He can train a pair of iron palms to the point of being arrogant, and he is a person who has no comparison, so he will try it. ”

Ye Yunsheng raised his hand and slapped it towards his head, of course, he didn't shoot it solidly, he just made a look.

"This Yu Shun gave himself a palm on the heavenly spirit, he has always left no room for palms, and when he found out that it was not good, it was too late, a palm hit tightly, and he took a strong breath, and said to the old Taoist, 'You are right, I can't beat myself, but I am still invincible in the world.'" ’”

"The old Taoist priest didn't expect this to be the result, he screamed and said, 'You are really stupid, you can beat yourself, you want to die, you can't beat yourself, you have to die, why bother!'"

The question-loving disciple finally couldn't help it and shouted: "It's ridiculous! How can a person fight with himself? How can my generation practice martial arts be used to compare life and death with oneself?"

Ye Yunsheng glanced at him, smiled, and said, "I listened to this story back then, and I also said similar things to you. ”

Chang Xingzi was the thirteenth junior brother, and he was still a hairy boy back then, and said with a smile: "Back then, the senior brother was very unconvinced, and felt that it was a pity that Yu Shun died like this, and he wanted to argue with that senior." ”

Ye Yunsheng said with emotion, "Yes, but that senior just told me." He faced the disciple and said softly, "You'll understand later." ”

He didn't wait for everyone to discuss, and continued: "I left my hometown with Master Yuwang Sword since I was a child, and I have devoted myself to practicing swordsmanship, and I love swordsmanship. Before I got the useless swordsmanship, that is, after I learned the art and went down the mountain, to be honest, I didn't lose in the rivers and lakes. Even when I met Yun Wujing, who was invincible in every square inch, I forced him to a draw. ”

"At the earliest, because the master privately passed on my "Most Holy Sword Technique" and was punished, I decided not to use the Shangqing School Sword Technique when walking on the rivers and lakes, so as not to cause more trouble for the master. At that time, with a set of "Chasing Light and Shadow Sword Technique", you only need to consider two or three moves...... Later, there were more swordsmanships on the rivers and lakes, and it slowly became seven or eight moves, the number of ways to dismantle the gears, there were more choices, and the odds of winning were greater and easier. ”

Everyone listened intently, watching the expression on his face quietly change, and unconsciously fell into the memory.

"Until I learned the "Useless Swordsmanship" by chance, this set of swordsmanship has a total of nearly 1,000 moves, after I have practiced them all, and then catch the right person, and find that the opponent uses a move, I will consider more than a dozen moves to make a backhand, and more than 20 moves to dismantle the number of changes. ”

Ye Yunsheng's expression was gloomy and sad, and a faint wry smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

"That's not going to work. When I was facing the sword, I didn't have so much time to think about it, and it wasn't a game of chess, and the offense and defense, blocking and dismantling in an instant couldn't be coordinated, so it was chaotic. Later, I found out that I couldn't see my opponent anymore. Once I swung my sword against people, I only had sword moves in my eyes and only sword moves in my heart, and then later, no matter who I was competing with, it became me and myself. ”

"But what can I do?

"Yu Shun can't do it, I didn't do it either, I held on for a few years, until I became useless in the world, and I didn't win myself. ”

"Maybe many of you have heard the rumors of my rivers and lakes, I later returned to the mountains, said goodbye to my master, quit the rivers and lakes, and lived an ordinary life. ”

He looked at that disciple as if he was looking at Ye Yunsheng many years ago.

Sorry? Not convinced? But what about that?

Nothing will change.

"Actually, Yu Shun is a smart man, when you heard it earlier, did you think that he had a bad brain and was very stupid? Why do you want to fight yourself? Others say that he is invincible in the world, isn't that enough? But he is really a smart man, if he does not think that he is an enemy, then he is invincible in the world, yes...... But as long as he regards himself as an enemy, he can't be invincible in the world. If you don't get to this point, you can't understand it. He didn't even hesitate to fight himself to the death. ”

"Why did he say before he died that he was still invincible? ”

"It was only later that I realized that when I met it, I couldn't escape. ”

With tears in her eyes on the side, Xuan Zhenzi murmured, "So you quit the rivers and lakes." ”

"That's right, I threw in the towel and quit. ”

He sighed, put his hands on the dantian, and said slowly.

"After seven years, I realized it by mistake. ”

"How can a man overcome himself?"

"In fact, there are so many sword moves in "Useless Swordsmanship", and the most important thing is just the word 'useless'. ”

"The more I learned, the more I thought about it, and the harder it was for me to win against others. Because I'm so strong, every time I compete with a sword, it becomes that I'm separating myself from myself. The stronger I am, the harder it is to defeat myself. ”

"To see heaven and earth, a man must first see himself. Know yourself, understand yourself, see yourself. ”

"I have not competed with a sword for seven years, I have become humble, insignificant, and surviving in the world, no longer holding a sword as if I am invincible in the world. ”

"I realized that when I was useless, I was able to overcome myself easily. ”

Ling Yuanzi sighed: "When you defeat yourself, in the world, where can anyone win you!"
