The great master of kendo is really a bug-like existence.

When you have climbed to the top of the innate sky, thinking that you can touch the sky, you find that the distance between the sky and you is still as far away as when you are on flat ground.

Then he was knocked down from the top of the peak by a sword light that seemed to fall from the sky.

VIII.

Lord Sword Immortal looked indifferently at the tireless challenger, "Do you know why you are vulnerable?"

The big girl subconsciously asked, "Why?"

"Because you can't do the most fundamental spirit of martial arts, which is single-mindedness. Lord Sword Immortal said meaningfully, "Even if your comprehension of martial arts has reached the induction of heaven and man, even if you have learned all the magic moves of all sects and sects in the world, but the martial arts piled up in this way lack the soul of concentration, and it is just a soil city piled up with mud and sand, how can it withstand the thunder blow of a peerless divine weapon that has been tempered for thousands of years?"

The eldest girl said lightly, "Is this the reason why you let your sisters blindly practice swords and not dabble in other martial arts?"

"Of course, you haven't understood this yet?"

"It's useless to talk more, let's take out the sword!"

..................

IX.

"You stupidly challenge again and again, and you don't think it's useless?"

The Sword Immortal was a little unbearable, "If you can't specialize in kendo, no matter how many lifetimes you challenge me, it will be impossible to change the outcome." ”

The eldest girl shook her head and suddenly asked a question, "Do you remember what you said to the third and fourth sisters when you came back for the first time?"

"What?"

"You said that they are born and can be expected in three lifetimes. ”

Lord Sword Immortal snorted, "Yes, that's what I said. ”

"However, now that the ninth life has passed, they have such a good foundation, why have they never enlightened the innate way?" the eldest girl sighed, "Of course, you will definitely say that it is because they are not focused on the sword enough. ”

"That's how it is!"

"Why, you haven't thought about it, it's the blind sword practice that delays the two of them?"

Lord Sword Immortal was disappointed, "I didn't expect you to be so unenlightened and forever blind to the right path. ”

"I've never doubted my own path. ”

..................

X.

Forty years later.

The oblique wind and drizzle hit a flat boat on the river, and two long figures were reflected on the water surface.

"Fourth sister, do you remember?" asked in a gentle and kind voice.

"Think...... Got up. A voice that seemed to be dreamy, "Third sister, it turns out that it was ten generations ago that I went home and met the second sister. ”

"Well, since then, the rest of our lives have been endlessly practicing swords, swords, or swords......"

"Third sister, in this life, did the eldest sister really beat the second sister?"

"Hehe, if the eldest sister didn't win, how could you continue to practice your Demon Gate Divine Skills, and now how can you return to your innateness?"

"However, the second sister is a great master of swordsmanship, I really can't imagine how a swordsman who has practiced swords extremely pure, how can he lose?"

"In your mind, is the pure and incomparable way of the sword invincible?"

"Yes, is there a martial arts realm above this?"

"Fourth sister, there has never been absolute purity in this world. The second sister's dedication to kendo is not that she only knows how to practice swords in her life, on the contrary, because she has experienced too much, she has embarked on a path of devoting herself to swords. ”

"I don't really understand what you say. ”

"Every life of the second sister, she struggles to get to the end, relying on the experience of street fighting, and grows up bit by bit, isn't it?"

"yes. ”

"Since the second sister lacks the guidance of a famous teacher, from the wild road kung fu that does not enter the stream, to the superficial martial arts of the second and third ranks, to the magic skills of the big gangs, she must slowly accumulate, comprehend, deduce, purify, and finally turn into a swordsmanship that she specializes in, isn't it?"

"yes. ”

Therefore, when the second sister penetrated her own kendo, she had already experienced a process of knowing and breaking the world's martial arts. The more she practiced, the more refined her kendo, the more she practiced, the more pure she practiced, and the more she practiced, the more powerful she became, the more complicated and complicated other martial arts became, and they were all useless. The second sister naturally felt that she only needed to focus on sword practice, and there was no point in cultivating other martial arts. ”

"I understand, so the second sister just forced us to practice swords. But we have not walked her road of sharpening the world with a sword, just practicing swords at home for the sake of practicing swords, we will never get the kendo understanding that the second sister once had, and it is impossible to climb the innate realm in the way of the sword. ”

"Hahaha, that's it. ”

"But, doesn't the second sister understand this truth?"

"If a person is too focused on kendo, it is inevitable that there will be some tendons of understanding and ideas. ”

"So the eldest sister must defeat the second sister and save us?"

"That's right. ”

"How did she do it to suppress a peerless sword immortal like the second sister?"

"The sublimation of martial arts, the principle is the same, you must first learn all the martial arts in the world, and break the martial arts in the world before you can reach the height of the second sister. For so many lifetimes, the eldest sister must have traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers, visited thousands of families, and secretly didn't know how much effort and effort she had put in, and melted thousands of martial arts into a furnace before she had the opportunity to catch up. ”

"Why do you say that the eldest sister is melting thousands of martial arts into one furnace?"

"Because, if you just compare the purity of martial arts, the second sister has already achieved the ultimate, and no matter how hard the eldest sister tries, at most she can only be on par with the second sister. However, the second sister ignored other martial arts in the world after the formation of kendo, and the eldest sister had a chance to overpower the second sister only by going beyond kendo and pushing the grander martial arts world deeper. ”

"I see, that's right. ”

From then on, it was the process of the second sister constantly challenging the eldest sister. ”

"Why, can the second sister surpass the eldest sister again?"

"Yes, it is precisely because I have seen the grandeur of the eldest sister's martial arts that the purity of the second sister's kendo has the possibility of going to the next level. ”

"Third sister, do you mean that the purity and grandeur of the martial arts realm is a process of constant repetition and alternating deepening? Because the second sister is only confined to the purity of the sword, it gives the eldest sister the opportunity to surpass her from a broad perspective?

"Fourth sister, congratulations on your deep understanding of the essence of martial arts. ”

"Third sister, I suddenly felt very ashamed. ”

"What's wrong with you?"

"Do you remember, in the life when the second sister came back at the earliest, the two of us were already masters in the rivers and lakes, not only had the realm of grandmasters, but also were promised by the second sister as an innate hope within the third life. And the eldest sister at that time was just a village woman who didn't know any martial arts, and only knew how to grow vegetables and spin cloth. But under the second sister's forced sword practice, we only know how to make promises for many lifetimes, and we never dare to hope to change our situation. As a result, it was the eldest sister who rescued us now. ”

"Yes, none of us have the courage to resist the second sister. ”

"But the eldest sister can do it, why?"

"Because...... She's the eldest sister. ”

“......”

"Because she is the eldest sister, she can't sit back and watch our talent be buried in the repetitive and boring sword practice; because she is the eldest sister, she feels that since she has embarked on the path of cultivation, she has the responsibility to create the greatest opportunity for each of us to comprehend the innate nature; because she is the eldest sister, she has never been afraid of the strength of the second sister in her heart, and always treats her as a younger sister; because she is the eldest sister, she thinks that the second sister's method is wrong and should be corrected......"

"Yes, after the second sister left, the eldest sister taught us according to our aptitude, no matter what type of us were, with her all-encompassing martial arts, she could teach us the most appropriate. I was thinking that the eldest sister worked so hard to integrate thousands of martial arts, not just to defeat the second sister, but also so that we can all learn and teach, right?"

"This is where we are not as good as the eldest sister, our original martial arts were better than her, and our qualifications were also better than her, but the eldest sister was far ahead of us to become a great grandmaster. I often wonder, what is the biggest difference between my eldest sister and us on the path of cultivation?"

"What is it?"

"We're just practicing for ourselves, and the eldest sister is always carrying the load. ”

"You're right...... In the future, I will also want to do the same as my eldest sister. ”

"Well, the eldest sister will always be my role model. ”
