Chapter 5: The Mirror World
After Shangguan Wuxian closed his eyes, he sensed the infinite sword intent, and the sword images seemed to swim into his mind, projecting in front of his eyes. He knew that this was the sword master's swordsmanship, and he had to comprehend much more at this moment than when he watched it before, and he only thought that the sword style was very strange before, but now he felt that it was very exquisite.
It turned out that he needed the sword shadow to really pierce his body in order to truly appreciate its mysteries, and at this moment he realized how difficult it was to learn the sword style only by watching it from the outside. Shangguan Wuxian was fascinated by it, he was already a person who cultivated swordsmanship, and when he saw such a powerful swordsmanship, he was so excited that he forgot himself.
But not long after, Shangguan Wuxian felt that something was wrong: "This sword style is so strange, you can only realize half of it, and this half is not the fifty-four styles of one hundred and eight styles, but only half of each style, how can this be?"
Shangguan Wuxian suddenly remembered that he was here to save his younger brother, and suddenly opened his eyes and saw that he was still standing in the valley: "Why are you still in the same place, has it failed?"
He looked ahead in disappointment and didn't see Luo Yi, and then looked at the opposite hill in a panic and found that Master Dong was still standing on the big tree at the top of the mountain. When he turned his head to look at another hill, he was stunned for a moment, and after a moment he smiled again, and finally put his mind at ease.
At this time, Shangguan Wuxian noticed that in addition to the sound of swords, there were other sounds around him, and he turned around expectantly. Sure enough, he saw that his younger brother was facing away from him, practicing with the sword shadows in the distance, and these sword shadows were the one hundred and eight sword shadows that had taken him away at that time.
"No trace. Shangguan Wuxian was so happy that he was about to burst into tears, and he screamed a little silently.
Shangguan Wuxian hurriedly glanced back at him, then turned back to look at the sword shadow and said, "Brother, why did you come down?"
Shangguan Wuxian saw that the sword shadow in front of his younger brother kept changing sword styles, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, each move and style were very unique and wonderful, and those sword images were intentionally guiding. After looking at it for a while, Shangguan Wuxian seemed to understand something, and said meaningfully: "I'll come down to see you, are you okay?"
"Well, the earth tribulation really exhaled the sword saint's swordsmanship, and I took the liberty of drawing the sword shadow into my body, and after all, I realized the sword intent. But the sword style that I realized was incomplete, but fortunately, there was still a chance to remedy it, and this time I couldn't let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Shangguan Wuji replied excitedly while following the sword shadow to make a gesture. He didn't dare to look back, for fear of missing a move and a half, leaving a lifetime of regret.
"How's it going?"
"I've learned half of it, and the last half of the moves are too weird, and I always can't make up all the moves, and I always feel that I'm a little bit behind. ”
Shangguan Wuxian said: "Half of what you said, but half of each sword style?"
Shangguan Wuji was surprised and asked, "How do you know?"
Shangguan Wuxian replied without a trace: "How long have you been practicing here?"
"How long, why do you ask that?" Shangguan Wuji felt strange: "Haven't you been watching, how can you not know how long I have been practicing." ”
"All you have to do is answer me. ”
Shangguan Wuji looked back and saw that his brother was very serious, so he replied after a little thought: "If you think about it, it should be about three days, hey, it feels a little wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
Shangguan replied without a trace as if talking to himself: "Could it be that I was too focused and neglected the change of day and night?"
Shangguan Wuxian was even more sure of his guess, and continued to ask, "Do you think you can complete the sword style?"
"Of course, and it has to be. Shangguan replied firmly.
"And how much more time do you think it will take?"
"I don't care how much time I need until it's completed. "Shangguan Wuxian is still firm.
Shangguan Wuxian said: "Give up, you can't make it up." ”
"How is it possible, if you don't complete it, then what's the difference between getting half of each formula and not getting it?"
"Let go of your attachments, you are too strong, too anxious, and it will make you lose thinking. Shangguan Wuxian walked towards his younger brother, and when he saw that his younger brother had no intention of stopping, he pressed his shoulder with his hand.
Shangguan Wuji wanted to fight for freedom and continue to practice swords, but he couldn't break free, with his current realm, it was impossible to break free from his brother's hands, unless his brother let go. He was obstructed, for fear of missing something, and said angrily: "Brother, what are you doing?"
"Calm down, look at the way you are now, you know, you can't do it quickly. Shangguan Wuxian raised his voice.
Shangguan Wuji said: "I just don't want to miss this hard-won opportunity, I've already succeeded for more than half of it, it's just a little bit, how can I be willing to give up!"
"You can't make it up, at least not here?"
"Why are you so sure, you can't make it up here, where else can you make it up?Do you know how mysterious this swordsmanship is......
"I know, you'll have that half of the sword pose, and so will I. Shangguan Wuxian interrupted him.
Shangguan Wuxian looked at him in surprise: "You too, can you comprehend without drawing the sword intent into your body?" Then, some sad emotions appeared on his face, could he really be so stupid, and the gap with his brother was really so big!
"No, I'm also the half of what I realized when I drew the sword intent into my body. Shangguan Wuxian saw the slight change in his brother's expression, and felt that he didn't try to break free anymore, so he let go.
"How is that possible?"
"The reason is to be detailed with you later, and you look around. ”
Shangguan looked at the mountains outside the valley without a trace, but the master was still standing there, looking at himself with appreciation. Then he looked at another hill, and suddenly he was startled because he saw that his brother was still on the mountain.
"Who are you?" Shangguan Wuji turned his head suddenly, looked at the person beside him, and vigilantly pulled away some distance.
"I'm your brother. ”
"Then who is he?" Shangguan asked without a trace, pointing to the people on the mountain.
"He is the me before you, the me before you drew the sword intent into your body. ”
Shangguan Wuji was puzzled: "What's going on?"
"This is a mirror world, created by the Sword Master seniors, and you came to this world when you opened your eyes again after being stabbed by the sword shadow. ”
Shangguan Wuji finally calmed down, relieved for a while and said, "So that's the case, no wonder there is no day and night, but, maybe this is what the Sword Saint predecessors specially created for me to learn swords?" He still held on to a glimmer of hope.
Shangguan Wuxian said: "Impossible, you have been practicing the sword here for so long, and you have not completed the other half, which means that there is a problem with the sword style here, you can take a closer look at these sword shadows." ”
Shangguan turned to the sword shadows without a trace, and the sword shadows were still dancing their swords in the air or on the ground, changing endlessly, and every time they watched it, they would feel that they had gained something.
Slowly, Shangguan Wuxian calmed down, watched from another mental angle, and after a while, laughed self-deprecatingly: "Heh, hehe, it turns out that I have already learned these moves, and the sword styles they dance are half of what I already know, but they have changed their form." As you said, here, I will never be able to complete this sword form, but will consume myself. ”
Shangguan Wuxian smiled: "Well, presumably this is the reason why many Tianjiao teenagers fail to die when they cross the tribulation here, and they are as persistent and impulsive as you." ”
Shangguan Wuji smiled: "It's really ironic, it's all come to this point, you still have to give up, and you don't learn anything in the end, it's really unwilling." Could it be that this Sword Master is just a joke for the world, and he has not passed down the complete one hundred and eight styles at all?"
"No, someone has already learned it when you crossed the tribulation. ”
Shangguan Wuxian was very surprised when he saw the hope, and said, "Who?"
"Luo Yi, he used this sword trick to send me in. ”
Shangguan smiled without a trace and said, "Heh, hehe, that's it, there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people, so it's not okay to be unconvinced." ”
Then he took a few steps forward and said to the Sword Shadows, "Senior Sword Master, I have no chance of your swordsmanship, and I am not qualified to use your swordsmanship. But thank you very much for teaching me this lesson, which has made me correct my mentality, get rid of my impatience, and no longer rush for quick success. In the future, I will cultivate steadily, move forward steadily, and strive to become a person like you and uphold justice for this world. Thank you. ”
Shangguan Wuji saluted to the sword shadows, and the sword shadows seemed to understand his words and stopped moving. A moment later, it turned into a rain of light and dissipated into this world, and the sound of the sword disappeared.
Shangguan Wuxian said with relief: "You have grown." ”
"Let's go back. ”
Shangguan Wuxian asked, "Do you know how to go back?"
"Hmm. Shangguan walked to the place where he first appeared in this world, closed his eyes, and felt the aura rushing to his face.
