Chapter 96: Sword Forging

"People in the world often say that the high and powerful position can hold the son and fall, guide the country, and have that heroic domineering, don't you know that under this heroic spirit, it is the result of mass propaganda, people yearn for power, mythical power, and naturally cast power. Therefore, those who hold power have power, but those who have power are also human beings after all, and there are three emotions and six desires, family trivialities, desires and greed, and before they are enlightened, it is no less. With desire comes suffering, and the more power and wealth people have in this world, the more the Tao will test them. In the Terran Continent, thousands of dynasties, most of the kings have gone through hardships, and they have climbed to the main hall, and the battle has accompanied them all their lives. The name is the ruler, but in more countries, the emperor is dominated by a group of ministers. It's just that there is a name empty. Of course, between the emperor and the courtiers, it is more of a relationship of mutual help, but they are also suspicious of each other, and although ordinary civilians do not have such a complicated relationship, they are more attracted by desire and tired by family trivialities, so it is said that from the Son of Heaven to the Li Min. No one seems to have been able to escape this game. Song Chunqiu said with a smile.

"Is it true that no one can escape?" Ye Xuan said.

"Are you happy?" Song Chunqiu suddenly asked.

Ye Xuan was also stunned, and then smiled heartily: "It's happy." ”

"Oh?" Song Chunqiu raised his eyebrows, interested. "Then tell me what makes you happy. ”

Ye Xuan didn't hide it either. "Haha. Everything I have encountered in this world makes me happy. Because the heart can be sharpened by tribulations, and disputes with others can make me reflect on my own shortcomings, practice hard for the sake of immortality, and make me feel that everything is in progress. The sage said, do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, if everything is a matter of course, then why disturb the calm heart for the current predicament, there is such a passage in our hometown, so the heavens will descend to the people of Si, must first suffer their minds and strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, empty their bodies, and do what the Buddha does chaotically, so they are tempted to endure and benefit what they can't. ”

Song Chunqiu listened to this, nodded secretly in his heart, and had a little more affection for Ye Xuan, of course, he was a little skeptical in his heart whether Ye Xuan was talking big according to the script, or whether he really had some understanding, so he laughed and laughed. "Do you believe these words?" After speaking, Song Chunqiu pinched the sword trick in his hand, and the big sword behind him came out of its sheath, and with a crisp sword sound, the Deren Juque sword was unfurled with the wind and turned into a sword boat. Song Chunqiu was carrying Ye Xuan's clothes, and the two of them stood on top of the sword.

"Don't be in a hurry to say it yet, let's put some side dishes and drink some wine, and chat. Haha, this life is too boring, it's the first time I've seen someone speak so positively, in my opinion, most teenagers like you should be swaying their youthful blood in the Qinglou singer. It's rare to see someone like you asking for your own hardship. Song Chunqiu said with a smile in his eyes, and then waved his sleeves, a plate of peanuts, a plate of cucumbers, a plate of roast chicken, two wine glasses, and a pot of wine.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan also sat cross-legged, the speed of the flying sword was not fast, like a small boat dangling in the lake, just flying aimlessly. Looking at peanuts, cucumbers, roast chicken, and the wine, smelling the fragrance, Ye Xuan also swallowed a mouthful of saliva, after all, since he came to Nanzhanzhou, he has not eaten a mouthful of food, all with the support of the aura in the sea of qi, as the so-called people are iron rice is steel, and they are hungry and panicked if they don't eat a meal, and since he was born, the habit of eating has also been deeply imprinted in Ye Xuan's brain. Now that he saw the food, he was naturally aroused by his infinite appetite.

Then Ye Xuan instinctively sat down, then grabbed a handful of peanuts, stuffed them into his mouth, and then poured another glass of sweet wine and drank it carefully. There was an aftertaste between the looks. Then Ye Xuan opened his eyes and said, "Haha, I'm a little out of shape, I'm hungry when I came." I couldn't hold on to the food. ”

Song Chunqiu didn't blame Ye Xuan, and showed a gentle smile on his face. "It's okay, let's eat. Then Song Chunqiu also poured a glass of wine and drank it. The wine is mellow and has a hint of sweetness, which is made from a hundred fruits.

Ye Xuan ate a few more bites before he stopped, and said with a smile: "I believe what I said just now, I have constantly thought about why people want to live, for money, for love, for career? But after deduction, I found that survival and reproduction seem to be the main theme, but it seems that it is not so important to get it with all my efforts." It's as if people just try to satisfy their desires, and in the end they are empty, and many people still fall ill and are very miserable. I have studied the scriptures of various schools, and in the end I have come to the conclusion that they all point directly to detachment, and Buddhism even points to the precepts and wisdom. Because of the vows, one can eventually attain wisdom. Finally detachment. Taoism also advocates honing oneself and soaring into feathers, and Confucianism has the idea of self-cultivation and governing the country and leveling the world. The three major orthodox religions are all about self-discipline and finding ways to detach themselves in self-discipline. And when you are a righteous person, there is not much psychological pressure in your heart. It's a lot easier to live. ”

"This kind of open-mindedness is very rare, but I don't know if you can maintain this open-mindedness and innocence when you grow up and have seen this world of flowers. Self-vows are rare, and you're one of the most unique I've ever met. Song Chunqiu poured Ye Xuan a glass of wine, and then poured himself another glass. Then raise a glass. "Let's have a drink. ”

Ye Xuanzi also drank it all. "Song Daru, there is one thing I am more curious about, and I hope to solve my doubts. ”

Song Chunqiu said with a smile: "If you want to know anything, just say it." ”

"Just now you were fighting with two big demons, and the sword in your hand suddenly turned black and full of evil energy. What is the origin of this sword, it feels very powerful. Ye Xuan stroked the big sword on his body with his hand.

Song Chunqiu's eyebrows were full of smiles, and his face was full of pride: "Speaking of this sword, it has a great origin, this sword is called Deren Juque Sword, one of the nine famous swords of Confucianism." It is three feet long, three inches wide, and weighs sixty-two pounds. The sword body is wide and thick, the blade sharpens iron like clay, it was originally a fierce sword, according to what I heard, the history of this sword is very long, I don't know the specifics, and the ancient books are also slightly recorded, saying that it is a monarch who has predicted by the master that the national fortune is unstable, and there is a danger of dying the country, and it is necessary to suppress the national fortune with heavy weapons. Then the king invited the most famous and forging masters in the country, and after a month of discussion, it was determined that it was thick, large, positive, and profitable. The four aspects are the main purpose, and the sword is the king of a hundred soldiers, so the prototype of this sword came out. ”
