When Xia Xijun heard this, he hurriedly closed his eyes and listened carefully for a while, but he found that his ears were empty, there was nothing, and he was about to open his eyes, when Hua Rufeng suddenly said: "Jun'er, you have to relax your whole body, and use your heart to feel the changes around you, the so-called: people are impermanent, the heart is impermanent, the goodness is like water, and the humane state of mind is cared for, that is, the heart is like stopping water, if you can comprehend, you can hear what else is around here." ”

"Yes, Master. ”

When Xia Xijun heard this, he obediently closed his eyes again, and after adjusting his mentality and breathing, he gradually calmed down and felt the changes around him.

Time passed minute by minute, six days passed in a blink of an eye, on this day, Xia Xijun as usual, had just eaten, and was meditating and listening with his eyes closed in the sword tomb, suddenly, a sword sound sounded in his ears, he was startled, and hurriedly opened his eyes in fright, but there was nothing around except his master, he couldn't help but say to himself: "Strange, I heard it just now, why didn't I hear it?"

Hua Rufeng, who was not far away, heard him talking to himself, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, he smiled, and deliberately asked: "Jun'er, today is the sixth day, why are you still talking to yourself and not concentrating on practicing?"

Xia Xijun's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, his lips were slightly pursed, and when he heard this, he was puzzled: "Master, when I just closed my eyes and practiced, I seemed to hear a sword talking? But as soon as I opened my eyes, I found that there was nothing? You say, am I hallucinating?"

Hua Rufeng heard the words and said: "In this case, the master asks you, what is the truth, what is the illusion?"

Xia Xijun thought for a while and replied respectfully: "Master, really, it should refer to all this I see now, as for illusion, it should mean that I can't see or hear it!"

"Hehe, Jun'er, if you take it literally, what you said is good. ”

Hua Rufeng smiled again and patiently explained: "But in terms of cultivation, you are only half right, because, illusion is false, virtual is real, reality is illusion, everything in the world, there are no positive and negative poles, such as the common right and wrong in life, advance and retreat, first and last, entry and exit, etc. ”

When Xia Xijun heard this, he couldn't help but guess: "Master, what are you talking about, isn't it "Dao"?"

"Hahaha, Jun'er, you finally have a little understanding. ”

Hua Rufeng laughed three times, and continued: "Yes, what my master told you is the Tao I taught your master many years ago, your master comprehended the "Nine Songs of the Heavenly Dao" from the Tao, your aunt comprehended the "Phoenix Dance Nine Whips" from the Tao, and what your master and I comprehended from the Tao is "The Three Thousand Avenues", I don't know what Jun'er will comprehend in the future?"

When Xia Xijun heard this, he couldn't help but be even more puzzled, he was stunned on the spot for a while, he didn't know how to answer, and asked after half a ring: "Master, can you tell me carefully, what is this so-called Tao?"

"Good. ”

Hua Rufeng nodded and said: "The so-called Tao is the beginning of this heaven and earth, the mother of all things, and nature." ”

"Master, do you mean nature...... Is it the way?" Hua Rufeng's voice fell, as if she had an understanding, so Xia Xijun asked again.

Hua Rufeng chuckled lightly and replied: "Yes, because since the existence of the Tao in this world, the sun and the moon will be self-evident without light, the stars will be self-listed, the birds and beasts will be self-generated without creation, the wind will be automatic without a fan, the water will be self-flowing without pushing, the grass and trees will be self-generated without seeds, they will breathe without breathing, they will beat their hearts without heartbeat, and so on are all born because of the Tao, and they are all destroyed by the Tao, it is endlessly changing, it is not born and destroyed, formless and imageless, there is no beginning and no end, everything is all-encompassing, its big is not outside, its small is not inside, it changes over time, and it remains unchanged for eternity. ”

As soon as Hua Rufeng's voice fell, her heart suddenly brightened, and she said in surprise: "Master, I understand a little, just like the sword sound I just heard, this should be part of the Dao, right?"

"Well, that's good. ”

Hua Rufeng nodded and said: " Sword, it itself is just a thing, but it exists in the way, it can not speak, but it is a collection of heaven and earth aura, so the way of the sword is the way of the sword, in the future, if you practice swordsmanship, remember, you must first understand what is the way of the sword, only if you understand what is the way of the sword, in order to achieve the body and the sword, the sword and the god, the god and the will, to achieve the heavenly sword realm of the unity of the sword and the sword, you can be regarded as having the right to the sword, you know whether you are the master of the sword, and when you become the master of the sword in your hand, your sword is no longer a sword without spirituality, it is not a sword of killing, because you are the sword, the sword is you, you are the master of the sword。 ”

As soon as Hua Rufeng's voice fell, Xia Xijun said with a solemn face: "Yes, Master, Jun'er has written it down." ”

When Hua Rufeng heard this, she said earnestly: "Jun'er, the time that the master accompanies you may not be very long, maybe it will be about this month, and the master will teach what he knows and learned in this month, how much you can comprehend, how much you learn, it depends on your own creation and comprehension." ”

When Xia Xijun heard this, he was stunned and said, "Master, why do you say that, are you preparing to go far away?"

Hua Rufeng said: "The eldest husband exists between heaven and earth, doing something and not doing something, you are still young, even if the master tells you some things, you may not be able to understand now, Jun'er, you just have to follow the master first, in addition, the master gave you a sword, just take the master instead of your master to give you a meeting gift!"

Xia Xijun was a little excited and said, "Well, thank you, Master." ”

"Jun'er, follow Shigong. ”

Hearing this, Hua Rufeng took Xia Xijun to a high platform in the sword tomb, there were two rectangular wooden boxes on the high platform, Hua Rufeng had thousands of thoughts, stood for a long time, stretched out his hands, and slowly opened it, and suddenly, the compelling sword qi rushed straight out, and two sword sounds sounded at the same time, one elegant and lofty, and one quiet and profound.

"Jun'er, come and see, which one of them do you like?" Hua Rufeng asked Xia Xijun.

When Xia Xijun heard this, he stepped forward to take a look, only to see that one was delicate and elegant, about ten inches long, the sword body was green, the faint water was surging, making a gurgling sound, and the other was powerful and domineering, about nine inches long, the sword body was red, and the fire was surging, as if it was going to burn all things, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while, and he didn't know how to choose.

Hua Rufeng saw Xia Xijun stunned on the spot, and reminded him and asked, "Jun'er, have you thought about it?"

When Xia Xijun heard this, he shook his head and said, "Master, these two swords, I feel that they are too valuable, and I don't know which one to choose." ”

"That being the case, then...... Take your pick. ”

Hua Rufeng said: "Look at these two swords, which one likes you more." ”

"Oh, well. ”

Xia Xijun nodded, and then, closed his eyes, and communicated with the two swords in front of him with his heart, and after a while, Xia Xijun smiled slightly, stepped forward and picked up the turquoise sword, and just got it in his hand, a sword roar suddenly resounded throughout the sword tomb.

"Well, good eyes. ”

Seeing this, Hua Rufeng couldn't help but praise: "Jun'er, from now on, this Chengying Sword will belong to you, you have to treat it well, just like your relatives and friends." ”

"Yes, Master. ”

When Xia Xijun heard this, he nodded respectfully, looked at the Chengying Sword in his hand, and asked, "Master, you just said that the sword I chose, is it called the Chengying Sword?"
