Chapter 16: The Sword of the Heart

"People's hearts"?

"Yes, it's the human heart ......", Li Muqing was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Although the sword kills people, the sword is dead, so this murderous sword is in the hands of people, so the evil thoughts in people's hearts are actually the sharpest and most terrible killing tools in the world."

The old man's words are somewhat sad, and they are sad for human nature!

"The human heart is ...... People's hearts ......", Yang Xiaofeng thought for a moment and muttered to himself: "If you think about it carefully, it's true."

"Feng'er, do you know how many ways to kill people?"

Li Muqing suddenly looked at the mountain in the distance, and for a while, his voice seemed to become much farther away.

Yang Xiaofeng frowned and replied, "There are countless ways to kill people."

Li Muqing shook his head again and said, "Feng'er, you are wrong again."

Yang Xiaofeng looked at the master, his brows furrowed a little tighter, and muttered, "I was wrong again"?

Li Muqing still looked into the distance, as if he was talking to Yang Xiaofeng, and seemed to be muttering to himself, "Actually, there are no more than two ways to kill people in this world."

Yang Xiaofeng was stunned and puzzled: "Two kinds"?

Li Muqing turned his head, smiled heavily, and said, "There may indeed be many ways for people to die, but there are only two ways to really kill people. Kill with the sword of your own heart, or with the sword of someone else's heart."

Yang Xiaofeng didn't understand, and wondered: "Use the sword in someone else's heart to kill someone"?

Li Muqing nodded and said, "Everyone has too many impurities and too many evil thoughts in their hearts, such as desire, greed, jealousy, and resentment...... Wait a minute. These things are a sharp sword hidden in people's hearts, and these swords will form a stream of evil thoughts in people's hearts, and when there are many such evil thoughts, they can kill people, and sometimes many people."

Li Muqing is wise, so he sees everything too thoroughly, but sometimes seeing too thoroughly is a kind of pain.

"Then what is killing with the sword in someone else's heart"?

"The low-level murderers all kill with the sword in their hearts, but the high-level murderers will use and even control the evil thoughts in the hearts of others, which is what I call killing with the sword in the hearts of others."

Li Muqing sighed and said, "Everyone has a sword in their hearts, such as a person who is insatiable for money, as long as you give him enough money, he can do anything for you, including killing."

"You mean hire a murderer"?

Yang Xiaofeng seemed to understand Master's words, but he always felt that this was not what Master wanted to express.

Li Muqing waved his hand and said, "Let's put it this way, in addition to the evil thoughts and evil desires I said, there are too many dark sides in everyone's hearts. For example, the pain a person has experienced, the pain and suffering he has suffered, and the hatred he has carried. These things usually seem to be hidden in the heart and there is no big problem, but they torment people's hearts all the time, and you know the feeling of being tormented best. If these dark and negative emotions are not released in time, they will always accumulate in people's hearts, and with the passage of time, these things will one day burst out, and the results of this outburst are nothing more than two things, hurting oneself or hurting others."

Yang Xiaofeng bowed slightly, and said, "Master, what you said about killing people with the sword in other people's hearts is to seize the weaknesses in other people's human nature and the dark side of psychology for your own use"?

Li Muqing was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice: "It can also be said, but grasping the dark side of other people's hearts for your own use is only a superior method, and there are even more terrible superior methods."

"The best way, what the best way"?

This superior method is actually similar to the inferior method, which is also to make a fuss about the dark side of people's hearts, but instead of grasping the dark side of people's hearts and using them, they use some kind of external objects to arouse the dark side of people's hearts or obsession to directly control them. That is, to directly control a person's mind in some way, and then use it for their own use. This brings out one of the weirdest and most terrifying martial arts on the rivers and lakes – the method of sound killing."

"The method of sound killing", Yang Xiaofeng heard it for the first time, and was surprised: "What is the method of sound killing"?

Li Muqing looked at Yang Xiaofeng, he didn't want to mention this terrible martial art again, but he paused, and said: "The so-called sound killing method is to use music to arouse negative emotions in people's hearts, and constantly expand them, so that people go crazy, forever sink into their own inner obsession and killing intent and can't extricate themselves, and finally become a walking corpse, become a puppet manipulated by others, and completely become a humanoid killing tool." Or to put it more bluntly, the method of sound killing is to use music as a medium to arouse the dark side of people's hearts, thereby disturbing people's minds, and then making people lose their consciousness, and finally being completely controlled by the Xerox people with music, becoming puppets, becoming a killing tool controlled by the Xerox, and sinking into boundless killing intent for the rest of their lives, without the slightest possibility of waking up."

"This ......", Yang Xiaofeng was shocked, this is too unbelievable, this kind of martial arts is too weird, it sounds like a myth and legend, and he was surprised at the moment: "Master, what you said is not too bizarre, since there is such a martial art as the method of sound killing, why have I never heard of it before?"

"It's indeed a little bizarre......", Li Muqing himself had to admit it, looked up at the sky for a while, was silent for a while, and said lightly: "It is precisely because the sound killing method is so bizarre that there have always been very few people who can practice this kind of martial arts, and it can be said that they are rare." But more than 100 years ago, there was a sect called 'Tianyinmen' on the rivers and lakes, which was dedicated to the study of this kind of martial arts. However, perhaps it was because the method of sound killing was too strange for the Heavenly Reason, or for some other reason, this 'Tianyin Gate' only existed in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years before disappearing."

Yang Xiaofeng still couldn't believe that what Master had just said was completely beyond his comprehension, and had even directly broken his current cognition.

After a while, Li Muqing finally looked down at Yu Xiao in his hand and the music score in Yang Xiaofeng's hand again, thought for a long time, and said: "Feng'er, this pipe flute and this music score may be related to the method of sound killing, I think it should be a relic of the sound gate that day!"

Yang Xiaofeng was shocked again, he really couldn't imagine that it was just an ordinary Yu Xiao, who would have thought that there would be such a strange power. Immediately, he was relieved, no wonder he could feel a faint sword intent in this flute sound, it turned out to be related to the sound killing method. However, then he had an even bigger doubt in his heart. As Master said, this method of sound killing is to disturb people's minds with music and make them lose themselves, so why does he feel calm and peaceful in this noise?

The reason why he was able to gradually free himself from the torment of hatred was due to this Xiao Sheng. It's just that if this is the case, isn't it just the opposite of what Master said, and he wondered at the moment: "Master, since this music score and this pipe flute are both things that kill sound, then why am I not going crazy because of this, but because of this thing, I am also freed from the torture of hatred, isn't it a bit contradictory."

"Haha......", Li Muqing couldn't help laughing and said, "Feng'er, you are really smart, you are confused for a while." Everything has two sides of yin and yang, and since this method of sound killing can disturb people's minds and make people lose their nature. Of course, it can also enable the lost to find themselves again, return to their true nature, and find light and hope. And this flute in your hand and this sheet of music belong to the latter."

Yang Xiaofeng's face flushed, he pursed his mouth at the moment, and didn't speak again.

Li Muqing looked up at the mountain in the distance again, and didn't seem to want to say anything more. The two fell into a silent silence for a moment.

After a long while, Li Muqing suddenly turned around and said very seriously: "Feng'er, it's a good thing to get this pipe flute and this music book, but sometimes it's really hard to explain things in this world, I don't know what will happen in the future, and I don't know if a good thing will bring disaster." The method of sound killing is already weird, this time you get a light, a song that represents goodness, I don't know if one day you encounter those evil things that make you lost, what will you choose"?

He seems to have a worry, but he doesn't know who he is worried about, Yang Xiaofeng?

Yang Xiaofeng pondered Master's words. As he said, there are too many uncertain factors in life, and no one can predict whether the future will be good or bad. But life never gives you enough time to prepare, nor does it give you the right to make your own choices. Therefore, instead of worrying about tomorrow, it is better to live today happily.

In that case, leave the future to fate.

Just let it be!

Clouds swept across the sky, and the valley seemed more ethereal. The low mountains are beautiful, overgrown with trees, and a few old thatched huts, so that the tired heart can finally find a piece of pure land in this chaotic red dust.

Li Muqing suddenly said loudly again: "Feng'er, as a man, you must learn to let go of the paranoia in your heart, and you must look at everything." As the saying goes, all the pain and troubles are actually imposed on you by yourself, do you understand"?

"Let go of the paranoid ...... in your heart", Yang Xiaofeng looked up at the sky, thinking about Master's words.

I have to admit that Master is wise, but how many people in the world can let go of the paranoia in their hearts?

Suddenly, he smiled, heartily and powerfully. He laughed and said, "If a person is not willing to fall, who can control his mind and disturb his mind at will." Whatever happens in the future, whatever happens is not about the present, so why should I bother about it now!"

As he spoke, he took Yu Xiao from Li Muqing's hand, then laughed and walked away.

After a while, the elegant sound sounded again in the valley.

Li Muqing quietly looked at Yang Xiaofeng's back as he walked away, and then laughed as well.

He smiled with great satisfaction, because he saw growth and open-mindedness in Yang Xiaofeng, and he also saw the unruliness and chic uninhibited that belonged to young people.

He seemed to see more of the shadow of his youth.
