Chapter 97: Fortune

At that time, there were a total of 100 people who cast this sword, all of whom were the top craftsmen in the country, and the king was also bold, and directly gave the craftsmen a piece of meteorite iron outside the sky, at that time, the meteorite had a total weight of 1,000 catties, after three years of polishing, this 1,000 catties of meteorite iron was forged with impurities, and the whole body was snow-white, and after three years of the sharpest and most flexible and strong part of the black iron, the prototype of the sword has also been formed, and after three years of fine carving, the sword was formed, and the moment of forming. . . . Forehead.. According to the records, there was no earth-shattering shock, but the gold and jade were extremely sharp. The monarch was also very happy when he saw the finished product, and at the same time asked the contemporary Confucianism to give him the name "Deren Juque Sword". The sword was then placed in the depths of the country's imperial palace, and was literally used as a weapon for the town. ”

After Song Chunqiu finished speaking, he picked up a roast chicken thigh, took a bite, and drank another glass of wine: "You can eat it too." Don't be stunned. Ye Xuan was not polite, and then grabbed a few peanuts and put them in his mouth. He also took a sip of fruit wine.

"A year after the sword was cast, the powerful countries around the country launched a war to destroy the country, 800,000 iron horsemen pushed all the way to the state and county, directly under the imperial city of the country, and in the imperial city, the nobles of the city were drinking and having fun, and after the soldiers came to the city, the nobles in the city only got the news, and the last person who got the news was the emperor, the reason for this is probably the concealment of the minister, many times the country is destroyed because of the country's intelligence problems, otherwise a big country is not stiff. Then 800,000 iron horsemen, also striking while the iron was hot, attacked the imperial city in one go, and in an instant, the original noble mansions in the imperial city were full of soldiers, property, and women of the enemy country. Of course, the civilians are mostly at peace, and not doing anything to the civilians is the criterion of the war of annihilation, because the people are resources in the eyes of those in power, and no one will kill the resources, and someone will ensure the economy and get a steady stream of enjoyment. ”

Then the inner palace of the imperial city was also breached in the evening, but at this moment, the king of the country was sitting in the deep palace, holding the giant sword of Naruhito, sitting on the dragon chair of the main hall, watching the fire burning everywhere outside the door, and killed himself. When he died, the sword fell to the ground, but the king was still sitting upright, with his head held high, and his left hand caressing the dragon chair, and he was sitting upright. The spirit is still the same, and those eyes are not closed, but they are full of unwillingness and loneliness. Of course, this paragraph of the description in the ancient books, whether there is an exaggerated element is not to say, just say that this Deren giant sword, ten years of casting, but still can not protect the country, and then the enemy generals entered the palace hall, and saw the emperor sitting in danger is also a surprise, after all, the monarch and the minister are different, even as an enemy, there is a certain deterrent, after all, under the rule of the royal road, a class concept has also been formed. But soon the blood on the emperor's neck was also seen by the generals, and everyone stepped forward to remove the emperor's body from the throne, and the Naruhito Juque sword that rolled to the ground was naturally discovered by the main general who entered the hall. Song Chunqiu also sighed after speaking.

"Is it really impossible to reverse the fortune?" Ye Xuan asked curiously. "And as mentioned earlier, everyone is in the game, is it really impossible to detach?"

Song Chunqiu shook his head: "I don't know, the fortune of this thing, especially at the national level, sometimes it is really very mysterious, there must be signs when the country is about to die, how many strange people will compete to come up with a lot of ways to save it, but in front of the general trend, there is more of a helplessness to return to the sky, and above the temple, there are also many historical records left for future generations to learn from." And the cultivation of the exercises of my generation of monks is also following the methods summarized by our predecessors, and then pursuing detachment from generation to generation. Otherwise, do you think that the exercises created by your predecessors are so that after you learn them, you can start fighting and bully others? All the exercises left by the great virtuous sages are the cultivation paths they have traveled all their lives, so that after they can learn, they can reach the realm where they are more quickly, and then the descendants will practice again, go out of their own way, and carry out detachment, and finally when they are old, if they can't get rid of it, they can write down the exercises again, or correct the mistakes of the sages. This is the meaning of the existence of the exercises. Most people pursue powerful exercises because they can greatly increase their strength after studying, and then use this to obtain greater benefits and satisfy their greed, which is also an evil way for people to practice, because after they reach a certain level, they will no longer work hard to cultivate, and they will get lost in their desires, and their lifelong achievements will basically become a foregone conclusion. Therefore, there were very few people who were detached in ancient times, and you don't know what I said, can you understand it? ”

"Only when you practice the heart of a sage can you have a day of transcendence?" Ye Xuan said again. "Doesn't it mean that if you break through the Nine Heavens of the Entrance, you will be able to transcend it? Moreover, what is the heart of a sage?" Ye Xuan was very puzzled in his heart.

"I don't know, if I knew that I would have been detached, would you still be able to meet me?" Song Chunqiu shook his head generously. "As for the Nine Heavens at the entrance, do you think that you can absorb and absorb the aura like now, and you can break through to a certain level? If it were so easy, there would not be "How lonely the sages have been since ancient times." Such an exclamation. The mind can't keep up, and after reaching a certain level, the cultivation will naturally not go up. Some people can't step on the level of the entrance realm at all in their lives. You must know that if you can set foot on the entrance of the heavens, you can be an elder in any sect at will, and be supported by all parties. Of course, this is the case in the cultivation realm, and the same is true in the mundane realm, you see those who are officials, especially those who are big officials, which one of them has not gone through many years of hard study, and then has a very good moral aspect? Those who are officials have the test of being officials, and cultivators are also the test of monks, of course, I raise more officialdom, also because my Confucian children are more officials, if it is not for Lao Tzu to be sent to this Nanzhan Zhou, he will definitely have to play as a parent official in North Luzhou. It's just a pity. But there's nothing to complain about, just be at peace with what happens, maintain a good state of mind, and have nothing bad in your life. ”

Then Song Chunqiu picked up the fruit wine, poured a full glass, and drank it, while Ye Xuan also grabbed a few peanuts and put them in his mouth to taste carefully, one strong and one young, the two sat on the sword boat, quietly overlooking the blue sky and the red sun. It's not a carefree and easy way.

For a long time, Song Chunqiu laughed three times at the sunset. "Damn, Lao Tzu will have to get out one day, and when the time comes, I want to see what is the difference between the transcendence and immortality and this world!

Ye Xuan looked at Song Chunqiu, who was full of fighting spirit in front of him, that was extraordinarily free and casual. It infected him. "Haha, then work hard to cultivate and stir up the storm in that realm! However, if cultivation is just a jumping game in the realm of one realm, then it is still equivalent to the rotation of life, and there must be an end. With such a conjecture, what if you find another world after detachment, what will you do?"

"Hahaha, how could there be nothing. Song Chunqiu laughed and laughed, as if Ye Xuan was talking about a very funny joke. "Okay, let's try to transcend it, and when we reach that state, we will know everything. ”
