Chapter 187: The Sword of Salvation

Yu Qianli was completely moved, and stood for a long time before he said: "Really, but there are only four styles recorded on that parchment scroll, how can the master know that my style of 'Stone Piercing Sword' is not among the other nine styles?"

Hua Bushi said: "It is true that there are only four styles of swordsmanship on the remnants of the 'Lone Star Sword Technique', but I have collected all the examples of the sword competition between the predecessors of the 'Sword Evil' Xuanyuan Ba and the top ten swordsmen in the Central Plains martial arts, and I have carefully studied them, Xuanyuan's eleven swordsmanship, the orientation and characteristics of each shot, and the power of the swordsmanship, I know it, and there is definitely no one that you are suitable."

Yu Qianli said, "Really?"

Hua Bushi said: "Of course it's true. Two years ago, I set out to collect all the details of these ten battle cases, originally wanting to use them as a basis to study with you to see if I could supplement the sword styles in the remnant spectrum, but then I was worried that you would follow in the footsteps of Xuanyuan's predecessors by practicing the 'Lone Star Sword Technique', so I didn't show it to you. Now I know that my previous thoughts were all unfounded, and there is no need to hide these ten battle examples, and when I return to Wuyang City in a while, I will bring them to you. ”

He smiled slightly, and said, "Actually, Xuanyuan's predecessor's swordsmanship, now it seems that it is only for reference to your sword cultivation path. If you can create a sword style that is completely different from the 'Lone Star Sword Technique', and the Karakuri power is not under the original sword style, it means that your sword style can be unique and does not need to be limited by inherent tricks. Instead of sticking to the old ways, it might be better to go your own way and create your own 'Lone Star Sword Technique'. ”

Self-created martial arts is the dream of every martial artist.

It is easy to say that it is easy to create your own martial arts, even if you have only practiced a few days of rough kung fu, you can fabricate several sets of boxing and swordsmanship. However, the more martial arts reach a certain level of mastery, the more they will understand the difficulty of creating a martial art, just because with their eyes, they can easily distinguish the strength and weakness of a martial art.

From ancient times to the present, our predecessors have created hundreds of various kinds of martial arts, many of which are widely spread in the rivers and lakes. If the self-created martial arts have no characteristics, and the power is not as good as the third-rate kung fu on the rivers and lakes, why should this kind of garbage martial arts be created, and even if it is created, who will practice it?

And even the third-rate martial arts on the rivers and lakes are mostly created by the grandmasters in the martial arts a hundred years ago, and they have been corrected and improved by many generations.

Hearing Hua Bushi talk about his own swordsmanship, Yu Qianli was excited at the beginning, and then as soon as he thought about it, he had already thought of the difficulty of creating his own swordsmanship, even if he was a master of martial arts, he might not be able to do it, not to mention that he was such a person whose martial arts had not reached the realm, even if he created a style of swordsmanship by chance, it was difficult to use it freely because of the lack of heat, how could he talk about going his own way and creating a first.

Hua Bushi saw Yu Qianli bowing his head and was silent, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said: "The martial arts in the world are all created by people, and there are masters of the predecessors, who have created all kinds of superior martial arts, which are used by us, and the people of my generation, why can't they come out of their own way and create stronger kung fu?

Yu Qianli said: "If you can really create a sword technique that can be comparable to the 'Lone Star Sword Technique', Qianli will have this life in vain." It's just that the disciple is dull-minded, and he has never had a deep understanding of the principles of swordsmanship, and now he has a distraction and can't concentrate on cultivating the sword, which is really embarrassing. ”

Hua Bushi said: "You are right, if you are not attentive, you can't cultivate the sword." Then let me ask you, what are you cultivating your sword for?"

Yu Qianli said: "The disciple cultivates the sword in order to win. ”

Hua Bushi said: "Seeking victory, what about weishenme again?"

Yu Qianli thought for a moment before replying: "Winning is not a means, so there is no purpose. Qianli just hopes that in the continuous struggle to win, he will surpass the limit of his swordsmanship. ”

Hua Bushi said: "What you are talking about is the way of the warrior, but not the way of the benevolent, the way of the warrior, after all, it is still a small road, and the way of the benevolent is the avenue." ”

Yu Qianli said: "Then what is the way of benevolence?"

Hua Bushi said: "Let me ask you first, if your opponent is a chivalrous man and his martial arts are on par with yours, will you kill him if you have the heart to win?"

Yu Qianli said: "I will fight him fairly with a sword duel, and I will not intentionally kill him." ”

Hua Bushi said: "Since it is a sword fight, life and death are only in a thought, do you want your subordinates to be merciful?"

Yu Qianli said: "If you have to kill him to win, I will not show mercy." As a swordsman, he died while fighting swords, and he also died a well-deserved death. ”

Hua Bushi said: "But there are many weak women and children who need the protection of this person, if he dies, those people will also die, if you kill him, it is equivalent to killing those women and children, will you still kill him?"

Yu Qianli was silent for a long time and said, "Is there no one else who can protect those women and children?"

Hua Bushi said: "No." And that opponent of yours also wants to kill you, and if you don't kill him, you will die at his hands, what are you going to do?"

Yu Qianli closed his eyes and groaned, and after a long time, he said, "I don't know." ”

Hua Bushi said: "If you hesitate in your heart and refuse to kill, then your desire to win will not be defeated by some weak women and children, and what kind of martial arts can you talk about?"

Yu Qianli said: "Master thinks I should kill him?"

Hua Bushi said: "Of course not. You refuse to kill him, it is precisely because you have a benevolent heart that you will hesitate between seeking benevolence and advocating martial arts. In my opinion, martial arts is not an end, but a means. Martial artists who constantly surpass the limit of themselves and push their own martial arts to the peak are certainly enviable, but what is truly admirable is to save the world and help the weak benevolent with their own martial arts. A sharp sword, if it is not in the hands of a swordsman with superb swordsmanship, it is useless, and the same is true of the way of martial arts, if it cannot be used well, even if it is practiced into peerless martial arts, it is meaningless. ”

Yu Qianli said: "What the master said, Qianli has also thought about it, but I feel that the world is changeable, which makes people feel helpless, and most of the people's hearts are indifferent and ruthless. Besides, my swordsmanship is not successful, and my ability is limited, even if I want to save the world and compassion people, I can't do anything. ”

Hua Bushi said: "Your words are wrong. If the purpose of everything is not clear, the direction will be confused, and it will not be possible to do it when you reach Zuihou. Although you want to have nothing to worry about and concentrate on cultivating swords, but in fact, you can't do it at all, you can't let go of your feelings for Miss Qiaoyun, so you will be confused, and you don't know what to do, and you can't improve your swordsmanship these days. ”

Yu Qianli said: "Please Master for guidance, what should Qianli do to find the right way to cultivate the sword." ”

Hua Bushi thought for a while, and said: "Tomorrow, the masters of the two factions of the Hengshan Pai Sect will arrive in Changsha, and the big battle is imminent, tonight should have been quietly preparing for the war, if I say too much, it may disturb your state of mind, so that your swordsmanship will be affected when you fight the enemy tomorrow, and maybe you will be defeated and killed, are you still willing to listen?"

Yu Qianli said: "As the saying goes, 'If you hear the Tao, you can die at night', Master doesn't need to worry, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Hua Bushi pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I will express my views on the way of the sword, I only hope that my shallow views can help you relieve your confusion and identify the right path." ”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "There are hundreds of millions of people in this world, and each person's birth and circumstances are different from their own personality and thoughts, and the way they do is also different, and the same is true for swordsmen. At that time, Xuanyuan Ba's predecessors were swordsmanship, but they were incompatible with the mortal world, had no relatives and friends, and behaved deviantly and unreasonably. He has a deep understanding of the way of the sword, and his heart is also very sincere, and he can give up everything outside his body for the sword, so as to kill his wife and son with his own hands, so in my opinion, the sword of Xuanyuan's predecessors is the 'sword of death'. ”

Yu Qianli muttered, "The Sword of Death...... Sword of the Dead ......"

Hua Bushi said: "The sword of the world, cultivated to the extreme, can reach the invincible realm of the world, just like Xuanyuan's predecessors back then." It's just the way to leave the world, not the only way to cultivate the sword, for example, your sword path is completely different from Xuanyuan's predecessors. ”

Yu Qianli said: "My sword way, will it be different?"

Hua Bushi said: "Not bad. Although you have experienced a lot of sorrow, you are not really world-weary, and you are kind by nature, and you still have compassion for the world, as evidenced by your unwillingness to let weak women and children die. It is precisely because of this that you will have a love for Miss Qiaoyun, and she is also a kind woman, so she has a heart with you. There is no way you will die, and you will not be able to get rid of emotional provocations, let alone hurt your lover for the sake of sword cultivation. ”

Yu Qianli said: "So, I will never be able to cultivate the way of the sword?"

Hua Bushi said: "As I said just now, everyone's way is different, you can't give up everything for the sword like Xuanyuan's predecessors, just because your sword path is not 'the way of leaving the world', but' Although all the pleasant things I brought to you earlier could not move you, I believe that there must be something in this world that has moved your heart, and it is extremely important in your heart, maybe it is a person, maybe it is a thing, or maybe it is a certain emotion, so you still have hope for the world and human feelings, and you will not give it up. ”

Is there anything in this world that makes him happy?

What Yu Qianli thought of was the little girl ring who told him stories in the narrow kitchen in the Yu Mansion that he never wanted to remember many years ago.

That little girl is the only friend in the entire Yu Mansion, and the first woman in his life who has thought about marrying a wife.

Hua Bushi stared at Yu Qianli's eyes and said slowly: "It is precisely because you still feel that there is beauty in this world that you refuse to give up everything and leave the world alone." It's a pity that there is not much beauty in this world, and it is not long, such as today's chaos, domineering rampant, thousands of people, all living beings, not only suffering from natural disasters, but also suffering from war, your sword is not only the 'way to enter the WTO', in today's troubled times, I hope you can identify your ambitions, cultivate the 'sword of salvation'!"

Yu Qianli said: "The sword of salvation?"

Hua Bushi said: "To cultivate" the sword of death ", you only need to give up external things, so that you have no desires and no desires, you can be good to yourself and achieve the ideal state, to cultivate the "sword of salvation", but you have to give up yourself and exchange your flesh and blood for the rise and fall of the world, which is a hundred times more difficult than the "sword of death". ”

After saying this, he stood up, walked slowly out of the room, and went straight out of the hospital.

Let Yu Qianli cultivate into a "sword of salvation", which is Hua Bushi's hope, but whether it can be achieved or not cannot be forced. Everyone has their own way, and everyone's way must be understood by themselves, and no one else can replace it.

At this time, Yu Qianli was still sitting on the chair in a daze, as if he was completely unaware of Hua Bushi's departure.
