Chapter Seventy-Two: The Six Realms of the Way of the Sword

The old Taoist sat in front of the door, and the three disciples listened left and right, and as soon as the Taoist opened his mouth, the words were endless.

Zhou Yinglong listened and listened, but he didn't hear any guidance related to cultivation, this master has always been talking about sword cultivation.

Wang Sheng listened to it with relish, not to mention listening to this kind of story told by a master from outside the world in his previous life, if he wanted to see this kind of white-bearded old man who was at the top of the cultivation world and had a high realm in his own right, it was all very difficult.

In fact, having said that, Wang Sheng doesn't feel that he has changed anything from his previous life, his self is still the same, but he has the advantage of a little prophet, he has changed his destiny and got the opportunity, which has turned the world upside down.

In his previous life, when he engaged in online cultivation, he was also like a demon, and even left everything behind for this, perhaps it was this that he had God's mercy to let him do it again.

When people are old, they just like to talk more.

As soon as Yuan Pu Zhenren opened his mouth, he talked about everything, after talking about the sect and the school, after talking about the school, he said that he was a master, and even the master of the master told the master about the Western and Oriental sword masters.

Speaking of the 'West' one hundred and fifty or sixty years ago, that is, today's Europe and the United States, Zhou Yinglong was a little curious, so he asked: "There are monks abroad?"

Yuan Pu Zhenren suddenly laughed, handed over the teacup, and Zhou Yinglong hurriedly filled it.

The old Taoist asked softly: "Outside the Dao Gate, is there no door?"

Wang Sheng said with a smile: "Buddhism originated from ancient Tianzhu. ”

"Yes," Yuan Pu Zhenren nodded lightly and said slowly, "As far as I know from studying ancient books, the most popular time for monasticism was more than 2,000 years ago to 1,000 years ago.

In fact, a considerable part of the Spring and Autumn Hundred Schools are monastic sects, but the "Tao Te Ching" handed down by Lao Tzu Li Er's predecessors is the most subtle and profound, and the latter Daomen are prosperous and continue to this day, becoming the orthodoxy of monasticism.

Two thousand years ago, the West was not yet prosperous, but there were many cultivators, who did not have much contact with our land of China at that time, and were actually a little unfamiliar.

However, the Buddhism that was introduced to Middle-earth had a lot of conflicts with the Taoist Gate at that time, and the two monks had a dispute for hundreds of years, but for some reason, there was no record in the ancient books that the two Gates had a head-to-head confrontation, and the Buddhism Gate also entered the Central Plains, and the Taoist Gate has also been passed down to this day......

It seems that above the cultivation world at that time, there were still immortals who reconciled this matter.

Originally, the theory of immortals was always thought to be just nonsense, but at this time, it was not illusory, perhaps because the monks did not want to see the blood flowing, so they came forward to mediate. ”

Zhou Yinglong simply carried the teapot and asked, "What about the east, the ancestor?"

Speaking of this, the smile on Yuan Pu Zhenren's face disappeared, but he showed a bit of righteousness, and said: "When Qin Shi, Peng Zu went to sea and took five hundred boys and girls and did not return, this matter is not fiction.

There are small countries in the back east, stealing the skin of my Taoist cultivation, but not claiming to be the outer door of the Daomen, but proud of the things they steal, which is really ridiculous.

Alas, some time ago, I heard a disciple in the mountain say that the wind volcano forest is a thing of other countries, but I don't know that it is the words of the soldiers: it is as fast as the wind, its speed is like a forest, the invasion is like fire, and it is not moving like a mountain!

At this time, every time I mention it, I feel sorry for it. ”

Wang Sheng and Zhou Yinglong glanced at each other, and they could feel that when Yuan Pu Zhenren mentioned the island country in the east, his mood changed a little.

If you think about it carefully, when this Taoist master was young or young, wasn't it the year when the land of Shenzhou was invaded by foreign enemies, and many Taoist monks went out of the mountain to save the country and were killed and injured......

At that moment, Wang Sheng and Zhou Yinglong both nodded with straight faces, but they didn't know what to say.

Yuan Pu Zhenren sighed lightly, and his slightly fluctuating emotions quickly returned to calm, "That's it, it's not appropriate to mention this, where did I just go? Ying Long, you don't have to interrupt again." ”

"Hey, yes," Zhou Yinglong bowed his head in response, and he didn't dare to put down the teapot he was carrying.

I listened to this old Taoist master continue to speak and speak slowly.

Wang Sheng and Zhou Yinglong heard a lot of interesting stories from the past, and also heard the helplessness and bitterness of these predecessors who guarded the Tao Cheng in the mountains for a lonely life in the past thousand years when the vitality of heaven and earth had not yet returned.

Finally, after more than an hour of gossiping, Yuan Pu Zhenren talked about 'sword', and Zhou Yinglong, who was originally a little drowsy, was immediately in high spirits.

Wang Sheng listened to the lecture word for word.

Yuan Pu Zhenren had said before that he had been immersed in kendo for decades, and if he wasn't a kendo master, who would dare to receive this title.

"Back to kendo itself.

The sword is originally a blade, even if it is often related to the gentleman, it is still a weapon used to kill people.

All soldiers are fierce, and all those who use soldiers to do murderous things will affect their own Dao and Taoist nature, and if they kill too many evils, they will definitely affect their own cultivation, and their hearts and demons will be chaotic.

Therefore, I will first say this to both of you.

It is feasible to cultivate the way of the sword, but it is you who really want to attain the Tao, not the sword in your hand. ”

Wang Sheng nodded with a straight face, and Zhou Yinglong on the side also thought about it.

The Dao Master stood up, stood with his hands in his hands, and paced slowly.

The white hair and white beard fluttered gently in the wind, as if they were about to feather and fly away in the next moment.

"In my opinion, there are six realms in Kendo.

One of them is the realm of sword moves, which is not a matter of knowing several sets of swordsmanship, but to integrate sword moves, and it really takes some hard work to be credible against the enemy.

Second, the realm of the sword without a move, which can also be called the realm of sword intent. All swordsmanship has its meaning, and cultivating its routine moves is to comprehend its sword intent. When I say this, I should understand non-language. ”

Wang Sheng nodded suddenly, he was in the realm of sword intent at this time, but due to his shallow cultivation, he could not do it without a sword.

This division of the kendo realm is not entirely accurate, but it can save Wang Sheng many detours.

"The third realm, called the realm of sword power, is an extension of the sword without moves.

The realm of sword power is actually the same thing as the unity of heaven and man that we usually talk about, you just stand there, you don't have to make any movements, you can merge with heaven and earth, force people with sword power, hurt people's hearts and minds invisibly. ”

Sword pose?

It seems that the first three realms are not a simple 'promotion' relationship, and the sword intent can be more or less, the more sword techniques are practiced, the more sword intent will be mastered, and there is no such thing as 'limit'.

Wang Shengshang couldn't do the sword without a move, so he had already condensed the seven-star sword intent, and the sword momentum also emphasized the relationship between himself and the sword and heaven and earth, and it was based on his own comprehension of the way of the sword.

Sure enough, Yuan Pu Zhenren smiled:

"These three realms, in fact, are not simply cultivated to cultivate one, form, meaning, and potential are actually the foundation of kendo.

It's just that most of the sword cultivators who have cultivated to succeed are the sword without moves that they have first understood, and the sword intent they have comprehended, so they can appreciate the realm of sword potential, so they are lined up in one, two, or three steps. ”

Wang Sheng suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, what this master said was exactly what he wanted to know the most.

Of the six realms of kendo, the first three realms are form, meaning, and potential, and what should the last three realms be?

Yuan Pu Zhenren Fu Xu chuckled, complacent, but waited for Wang Sheng's eyes to be a little urgent, and then continued to say slowly:

"The fourth realm is called Yu. ”

Zhou Yinglong blurted out: "Imperial Sword Technique?"

"Hahaha," Dao Ye laughed loudly, "The art of the imperial sword is actually an extension of the imperial Dao method, and that one has to be talked about by him separately." The so-called Edgeworth......"

As soon as the words of Yuan Pu Zhenren turned around, he began to talk about the similarities and differences between swordsmanship and kendo.

Wang Sheng suddenly gave Zhou Yinglong a slightly depressed look, Zhou Yinglong smiled awkwardly, poured himself a cup of tea, and lowered his head to drink.

Although I remember that my own master mentioned that my master was very nagging when he was older, he didn't expect it......

However, it's also good to know a little bit about swordsmanship.

The art of swordsmanship arose in the Daomen of Shuzhong, and was very prosperous about 1,600 years ago.

Edgeworth is an extension of the law of imperial objects, and if you want to practice this technique, you must first step into the realm of gathering gods, and then choose a sword embryo to nourish with your own spiritual thoughts day and night.

After three or five or seven years of nourishment, the sword embryo will be reborn, and then the monk will slowly build it into a 'flying sword'.

Specific prohibitions must be engraved on the flying sword, and the flying sword of the imperial envoy must also have the 'Imperial Sword Technique', in addition to this, it must also have strong enough spiritual support to support it.

"However, this is the process that must be experienced from the beginning of the cultivation of the sword," Yuan Pu Zhenren said with a smile, "If you can step into the fourth realm of swordsmanship, and then you are lucky enough to obtain the method of the sword, you can get twice the result with half the effort, and you can even say that you can make it at all." ”

Wang Sheng said with a smile: "Please also ask the master to explain what is the realm of the Sword Emperor." ”

"Don't be impatient, and listen to me slowly. ”

The Sword Emperor of the Six Realms of Sword Dao is considered to be a very advanced realm of Kendo, which means that the monk's control of the sword has reached the extreme.

It may be better understood by a different name - the unity of man and sword.

From the kendo apprentice who started to learn the sword, to the realm of the sword emperor, it is naturally easier to cultivate when he has vitality, after all, after entering the realm of the void pill, the longevity will be greatly improved.

But in the past thousand years, how many people have lost gray hair, withered and withered, and finally buried in the loess with regret.

The first four realms are all related to 'sword', and the last two realms are somewhat ...... It's mysterious.

Wang Sheng was a little unable to comprehend for a while.

"Actually, when you form a primordial god and can be called a great cultivator, the sword path can enter the realm of the sword emperor, and you don't need other ways to protect the way, and you can walk freely in the cultivation world with a sword in your hand. ”

Yuan Pu Zhenren sighed lightly, and then said: "The fifth realm, I have just explored some doorways in recent years, this realm is called 'Sword Heart Realm', I am limited by cultivation at this time, and I have not yet fully stepped into this realm, and look." ”

As he spoke, Yuan Pu Zhenren raised his left hand, and there was a white light in his palm that continued to converge, and a three-inch small sword slowly rotated and rose in his palm, but it was only roughly a sword shape.

For a moment, a mysterious sword intent spread, sometimes endless, like a mountain spring stream, sometimes extremely sharp, as if it was about to cut through this twilight!

The shock in Wang Sheng's heart is indescribable.

This is the heart sword that Yuanpu Zhenren has spent an unknown number of years to cultivate!

From the tangible of the sword, into the invisible of the sword!

Wang Sheng felt quite lucky at this time.

He chose Wudang Mountain at that time, and met the famous teacher Qingyanzi, and the first set of Taoism taught to him by the master was the Seven Star Sword Formation, and since then he has embarked on a trip to the way of the sword.

Otherwise, I will not be valued by the simple real person, let alone explain so many cultivation things to myself, nor will I demonstrate to myself what an invisible sword is.

Yuan Pu Zhenren saw sweat on his forehead, and quickly slowly withdrew his heart sword, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

"This is to put the sword down. ”
