Chapter 1145: Sword and Tea
Disrespecting the way of the sword, this crime is a bit heavy, I am afraid that any sword cultivator does not like such a person, but there is no joy or dislike on the man's face.
Luo Feng asked respectfully: "The predecessor is the Sword God Ji Jiji?"
The man said gently: "I do have the surname Ji and Ji, but I may not be the sword god, at least many people who have seen me don't think I am the sword god, because they feel that the sword god should not look like this." ”
Luo Feng looked around, this bamboo forest looks hidden, but if you want to find it, it will take some time to find it, and there is no enchantment here, that is, if you are lucky, you can also step in.
However, until now, no one has claimed that they have found the abode of the sword god, which means that although those people met the sword god, they did not recognize the person.
This is the secret that the sword god can live in seclusion for many years without being discovered, not how clever his concealment methods are, but that he is under everyone's eyes and noses, standing in front of you, but you can't recognize me, this is the farthest distance in the world.
Everyone thinks that real people don't show their faces, and the sword god doesn't like to appear in front of people, so he deliberately hides it, and if he wants to find the sword god, he must first crack the sword god's hiding technique.
It's a pity that what they really need is not the art of searching for people, but the art of recognizing people.
Luo Feng thought about it, and then asked Si Jingji: "Senior sister, in your eyes, what does the predecessor look like?"
Si Jingji blinked, with an unknown expression, but still replied honestly: "Very beautiful big brother, as beautiful as Sister Bailing, snow-white, like a princess in a fairy tale." ”
Ji Ji in Luo Feng's eyes can barely be called heroic, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the word beautiful, it is said to be a killer, but nine out of ten people can believe it, and the difference with the princess is 108,000 miles.
But Si Jingji's answer perfectly explained the doubts in Luo Feng's heart, and it was also the answer he guessed.
"Childlike and innocent kendo, except for those children who have just learned swords, I have never seen similar kendo in anyone else. ”
Ji Jiji first commented on Si Jingji, and then made a gesture to Luo Feng to invite him to take a seat, and praised: "You can see the secret of my body in an instant, your wisdom is more terrible than swordsmanship, but unfortunately this is not shown in your swordsmanship, it seems that swordsmanship is really just a tool for you to take advantage of, so you are using wisdom to control swordsmanship, rather than integrating wisdom into it." ”
"Seniors don't feel angry?" Luo Feng asked straight to the point.
Ji Jiji asked rhetorically: "Why are you angry? This is your sword, and it is a kendo that is very close to your heart, harmonious and natural, and it is not awkward at all, you must know that there are many people in this world, who have exhausted their lives and have not been able to find their own sword, obviously a butcher, but to learn the sword of benevolence, obviously a reckless man, but to learn the sword of elegance, obviously a horseman, but to learn the sword of the Son of Heaven." No matter how gorgeous the sword is, if you don't take advantage of it, what's the point?"
He sighed, full of helplessness and said: "There are many people on this mountain who want to worship me as a teacher and want to learn my swordsmanship, but they don't know that my swordsmanship is only suitable for themselves, not for them, and if I take a sword that is not in my hand, it will only hurt myself, and I will never reach the peak of swordsmanship, and I think I am not a good teacher, and I can't teach according to my aptitude, so it's not that I don't want to teach, but I can't teach." ”
Luo Feng said: "For many people, they just want a gorgeous sword that they can show off to others, as for whether the sword is in their hands or not, they don't care, and even they don't expect to reach the peak of kendo one day, as long as they can climb higher than the vast majority of people." ”
"If my title is Sword People, it is not a big deal to accept them as disciples, but others like to call me Sword God, once they bear the reputation of Sword God apprentices, even if they don't want to climb to the top of the sword path, there will be countless people who will force them to climb up, if they can't reach it, they will fall off the cliff and fall to pieces. For others, if the sword does not take advantage of the hand, at most it will hurt themselves, but for the apprentices of the sword god, the sword is no different from killing oneself, if I accept them as disciples, it will be equivalent to harming their lives. ”
Luo Feng asked, "I don't know what the sword path of my predecessors is?"
Ji Jiji replied to the question: "The tea is almost cold, drink it while it's hot." ”
Luo Feng didn't ask, picked up the teacup and took a sip, it was a little sweet, there was no other superfluous taste, it seemed to be just boiling spring water, and even the tea leaves were not put in.
He looked at the tea and thoughtfully said, "Is this the kendo of the seniors? Because it is pure, it can reflect the figure of the person, and whoever sees the seniors is equivalent to seeing his own kendo." ”
Ji Jiji said: "Fifty years ago, I was indeed such a sword. ”
"What is the current kendo of the seniors? The sword that the predecessors cut out before contains all things and turns the enemy's moves into their own use, it can be seen that there are all kinds of things in this cup of water," Luo Feng thought of a story, so he smiled and said, "Could it be that the juniors want to drop this cup, and then ask where is the Senluo Wanxiang?"
Ji Jiji sighed and shook his head: "Then my cup will really be wronged." ”
Huang Quan on the side could still endure it, but Si Jingji couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "What kind of dumb riddle are you playing, what does this glass of water have to do with kendo, why can't I understand it?"
Luo Feng explained: "Just now I told a Zen machine story with my predecessors, that is, one day, Datong Zen Master and Zhang Zen Master were drinking tea outside, Datong Zen Master pointed to the green mountains and green trees, blue sky and white clouds reflected in the teacup and said, 'Sen Luo Wanxiang, all in it', Zhang Zen Master heard the words, splashed the tea on the ground, and then asked 'Sen Luo Wanxiang, where is it', and finally Datong Zen Master shook his head and sighed and said, 'It's a pity to have a cup of tea'. When I say smashing a cup, I am invoking this allusion. ”
Si Jingji pouted and said: "It's so troublesome to go around, why do you have to hide it, say something that others don't understand, just say what you mean, what if the other party understands it wrong, wouldn't it become a chicken and a duck?"
Luo Feng Zhengse said: "Because you have to pretend to be a master, a master is to say something mysterious and mysterious, only the same high people can understand the words, otherwise why is it called 'unfathomable'? ”
"The little girl is right, pretending, how to get back to basics, the road is simple, the real master should have explained things clearly and clearly. ”
Ji Jiji in Luo Feng's eyes was shaking his head and smiling bitterly at the moment, but Ji Jiji in Si Jingji's eyes was smiling calmly.
"At the beginning, my kendo was like a glass of boiled water, and I felt that the tea was tasteless, so I desperately added something to it, chili, garlic, vinegar, salt, sugar, ...... Anything I could find was poured into it, and then I felt that the tea was too complicated and lost its original taste, so I desperately moved things out. ”
Si Jingji didn't believe it: "The chili pepper and garlic are easy to move out, and the vinegar, salt, and sugar are all fused with water, how can they be separated?"
"This question is good, it goes straight to the core, it is far more difficult to separate than to join, so many people don't know what to do, but they can't do it, things are fused together, and if you want to separate again, you have to refine it to a more basic level, and separate the different particles, so that you can get back the original taste. It wasn't until fifty years ago that I finally managed to do this, empty, empty of nothing, but reflected in everything. ”
"So what have your predecessors been doing in the past fifty years?"
"When I found the taste, I naturally wanted to drink tea. ”
"Have you finished drinking?"
"There is still a layer of bottom, and I am almost finished, and it is not so simple to drink it cleanly after all. ”
"If the seniors drink dry tea, will they be able to attain the Great Dao?"
"There is no tea, and there is a cup, and only by breaking this cup can it be regarded as truly out of the cage, at least, that's how I understand it. ”
