Chapter 249: The Secret of the Ancients
Cheng Ling pondered for a long time, and really didn't dare to make a decision easily. The swordsmanship passed down by the golden page must be the most high-end, but they dare not use it easily, although among the group, they are all cronies, but they can not leak it, or they don't want to spread it.
As for the learning of the Famous Sword Academy and other swordsmanship, it is obviously not eye-catching, and there is no need to take it out to show ugliness. It's a few sword skills that you have created, so you can try them.
Seeing that he was silent, the old man knew in his heart that there must be a great secret in this little friend. As soon as his mind moved, Cheng Ling disappeared into the rotunda.
Cheng Ling only felt that it was dark in front of him, and after a while, he came to a space filled with white mist. He looked around, couldn't tell the direction at all, Jian Yinghao, Liu Qingyan and others were nowhere to be seen, and when he was anxious, a voice came.
"Don't be afraid, this is just my consciousness space, those friends of yours are still in the hall. Now you can show your swordsmanship, they won't see it. ”
Cheng Ling was sure in his heart and asked, "Thank you seniors, why do you have to show me swordsmanship?"
The old man said: "This is the holy land of kendo, you come here, naturally hope to get the inheritance of kendo, am I wrong." ”
"Kendo Holy Land? What is that?"
"It's too early to say this, as long as your swordsmanship can satisfy me, it will naturally tell you everything!"
Cheng Ling was helpless, so she could only say: "Okay, please ask your seniors for advice!"
In the end, he decided to demonstrate the Bibo Qianli Sword Technique, the Flying Sword Technique could not be used, and at present, the highest-end sword technique was still the Bibo Qianli Sword Technique.
With his hands together and the tip of the sword pointing downward, he performed a sword salute, and Cheng Ling used the blue wave thousands of miles of swordsmanship in one move, from the first type of falling flowers and flowing water, the second type of passing water and years, and the third type of flowing clouds and water...... , to the last mirror, all of them were used.
When he was done, he put away his sword and stood, waiting for the old man to speak.
He didn't know that as soon as the whole set of swordsmanship was cast, the old man was already shocked and inexplicable. He is different from Cheng Ling, with hundreds of millions of years of experience, it can be seen at a glance that in the entire set of swordsmanship, every move contains an artistic conception.
They are the artistic conception of ice, the artistic conception of water, the artistic conception of fast, the artistic conception of slow, the artistic conception of gold, the artistic conception of time, and the artistic conception of space.
It's just that in ancient times, many kendo powers didn't realize that the combination of artistic conception and swordsmanship was the guarantee of the longevity of kendo.
After a long time, the old man asked tremblingly, "Where did you come from this sword technique?"
Cheng Ling was silent and didn't intend to say it.
The old man waited for a long time before he said regretfully: "That's it, you don't want to say it explicitly, obviously you have obtained some kind of inheritance against the sky." Your kendo foundation is very solid, even if it is a sword cultivation in the ancient era, it is not far behind. ”
"However, in the use of swordsmanship, it is obvious that it has not yet reached the extreme, and the power of artistic conception in the whole set of swordsmanship, you only comprehend the artistic conception of ice, the artistic conception of water, and the artistic conception of gold, and the integration with the swordsmanship itself is not complete. ”
Cheng Ling was taken aback, he asked himself that the Bibo Qianli Sword Technique had been cultivated to perfection, and he also saw that there was a time and space artistic conception in it, but he couldn't see which specific move, and now he saw that the old man could easily say it, and hurriedly asked: "Please also ask the seniors to teach you!"
"The first move of the swordsmanship you use contains the two artistic conceptions of ice and water, the second move contains the artistic conception of water, the third move contains the artistic conception of fast, the fourth move contains the artistic conception of slowness, and the fifth move
It is still the artistic conception of water, the sixth move contains the artistic conception of gold, and the last move is the strongest, containing two artistic conceptions of time and space. ”
Cheng Ling was completely shocked, he couldn't imagine that there were so many artistic conceptions in this swordsmanship, and he didn't even understand half of them, what kind of swordsmanship was this?
"Grade? This kind of sword technique can't be measured by the grade at all. If it was known in ancient times, it would definitely come and rob it in every possible way!"
Sure enough, the swordsmanship grades passed down by the Golden Page were all top-notch. He originally wanted to try to use the sword technique, but after thinking about it again and again, he still didn't use it, firstly, this sword technique was not successfully cultivated, only the skin was realized, and in addition, the blue wave thousand miles sword technique had already surprised the old man so much, and the higher-end flying sword technique should be hidden first!
The old man continued: "Little friend, your kendo talent is really amazing, although you have not fully comprehended the artistic conception in the entire set of swordsmanship, you may understand most of it, which is very rare. Now, I can tell you everything. ”
Cheng Ling rose up with a strong curiosity and asked, "Please tell me the details." ”
"Here, is the remnant of the ancient way of the sword, called the Sword Pavilion. I don't know how many years have since I grew up. I only remember that it was the glorious era of sword cultivation at that time, almost everyone in the Hundreds of Millions of Star Continents cultivated swords, and only a very small number of cultivators chose spells and martial arts. ”
"It's a pity that the general trend of the world, no matter what kind of era, there are times of prosperity and decline. Kendo is prosperous, but it also breeds many disadvantages. The sword cultivators were empty-eyed, not only disdainful of the martial artists who did not practice the way of the sword, but also the cultivators who belonged to the way of the sword, but also attacked each other. ”
"At that time, there were two schools of thought, one was completely based on the sword, giving up all cultivation methods, specializing in the sword, the extreme sword, pursuing everything about the sword to the extreme, and even integrating the sword into the body and soul. ”
"Integrate into the body and soul, how can this be done!" Cheng Ling asked in shock.
"They have a fixed lineage, and I don't know exactly how to do that. The other genre is much more enlightened. Although they are also obsessed with swords, they are tolerant of all rivers, and in addition to the way of the sword, they develop in multiple directions, the power of artistic conception, the power of formations, the power of treasures, and even the cultivation of spells. ”
"With the development of the two schools, the differences are getting bigger and bigger, and the people of the extreme kendo think that they are not sincere with the sword and have separated their minds, and they are not worthy of being called the inheritors of kendo. The school of concurrent cultivation feels that the people of the extreme school are stubborn and will not be flexible. ”
"Kendo is a broad and profound path, and only by integrating all its advantages can it be carried forward and shine more brightly. Moreover, the sword is easy to fold over the steel, and the blind pursuit of the ultimate is often counterproductive. ”
Cheng Ling nodded silently, such a theory is suitable for his spleen and stomach, like the kind of pursuit to the extreme, too bitter, too tired, and extremely limited achievements.
Just like a wooden barrel, the height of each plank is balanced to carry the most water, only one is high to the limit, and the others become shortcomings, and the amount of water carried is very limited.
The old man seemed to be paying attention to Cheng Ling's expression at all times, and when he saw him nodding, he said, "It seems that Xiaoyou agrees with the statement of the Jianxiu faction." ”
"Yes, senior! I think that kendo is broad and profound, extremely superior to the sword, although it can reach a very high level in a certain field, but its own balance will be broken, and the scope of knowledge will become narrow, and only the sea will be inclusive and merge with others
can go further!"
The old man said: "If you say this point of view in that era, you will definitely be hunted down by those who pursue the ultimate." ”
Cheng Ling smiled and said, "Haven't the predecessors been hunted down by those people?"
The old man was dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine that this kid's mind was so clear, just a slight change in tone, and he guessed which genre he admired.
After a pause, he continued: "These two schools of thought are not convinced of each other, and there will be disputes every day, and gradually, the contradictions will become bigger and bigger, and finally they will reach the point where they cannot be resolved, and they will fight to verify the obsession in their hearts. ”
Cheng Ling was dizzy for a while, this monk in ancient times was too child's play. It is really incomprehensible that such a problem needs to evolve into an all-martial arts? and a big fight.
The old man seemed to see his thoughts, and said indifferently: "Maybe you can't understand it, but human obsession can't explain it, and if you insist on something, there will be a contradiction in concept." ”
Cheng Ling knew that, like religion, the teachings of some religions were particularly persistent, just like the religious wars in medieval Europe, and there was no reason to speak of.
The old man continued: "The war between the two factions is getting bigger and bigger, and finally it has evolved to the point of being out of control, and even the planet they live on has been shattered!"
Cheng Ling was shocked and asked in a lost voice: "What? Even the planet has been shattered, so the planet we are on now is not the planet of the ancient era?"
"No, I said before, this is just the place where the ancient sword cultivation remains. The original planet was shattered, and the elites of the two factions of kendo were lost. At this time, because of the long-term kendo dispute, the Dharma and the martial arts were not affected, but they were developing steadily. ”
"Even some cultivators who had been practicing kendo threw themselves into them because they were tired of war. Their power grew stronger and stronger, and the way of the sword was weakening day by day, and at this time, the monks of the Dharma and the martial arts joined forces to destroy the supporters of the kendo. ”
"What is even more tragic is that there are many internal responses between the two factions, law and martial arts, and many wars, or contradictions between the two factions, have been provoked by internal forces. It wasn't until the time of the attack that the final face was revealed. ”
"The kendo monks resisted desperately, but I lost the other, and the overall strength was not as good as before, and finally I was expelled from the entire star field by the Dharma Dao monks, and many of them became wandering vagrants in the starry sky, and the kendo civilization has been in decline since then. ”
"Only the few sword cultivators who survived have found some life stars to continue the seeds of sword path in order to make a comeback. ”
"In this way, hundreds of millions of years have passed, and the seeds of kendo have gradually sprouted, but both the law and martial arts have not given up the concept of exterminating kendo, as long as they find it, they will concentrate on strangling it with all their might. Under such pressure, the kendo civilization is in danger. ”
Cheng Ling was stunned, the rise and fall of kendo was too tragic, first infighting, then foreign places, for hundreds of millions of years, it has survived to this day, which can be regarded as ill-fated.
He asked, "Senior, why are you telling me this?"
The old man's voice was slightly excited, and he said, "I have been waiting here for hundreds of millions of years, and I have seen many cultivators with great talents, but they all have various defects, some of them are not strong in kendo talent, and some are not able to go here because of some lack of strategy. ”
"For hundreds of millions of years, my remaining soul has been weakening day by day, and I can't hold on for long. Thankfully, I met you. And you are the hope of reviving the kendo civilization!"
