Asking the sword, as the name suggests, asking the sword means communicating with the spirit in the sword and asking what you want to know. This method does not have too much emphasis, but first of all, it must pay attention to the integration of man and sword mentioned earlier. After all, the sword is not long.
Even if the mouth has a spirit, it can only have a conversation in the dark if the mind is connected.
Lin Tianshi has been with Duan Chenhuan for many years and has already reached this level. As long as this condition is met, Wenjian's requirements for formation, location and weather are not strict. Immediately, Tianshi crossed his legs and held the sword horizontally.
Putting it on my lap, I looked at the starry sky through the sparse shadows of the trees, and made some calculations with my brows furrowed.
"The time is right, you can ask." He quickly came to a conclusion, and then sighed softly, "I just want to remind you that I may not be able to get the answer you need. The flaw of asking the sword is that the sword can only resonate with the sword.
, but it doesn’t have much sensitivity to people. It’s not a cloud mirror, so it can’t directly find out the whereabouts of your companions. It can only tell me the other six
Where is the Tao Divine Weapon. I heard about the resentment in the Six Paths Swords, and in the Nightmare Tengu, I can find its location for you. However, the Tengu may not always follow its master, let alone Miss Ye, maybe
Being imprisoned in another place, it is unknown whether the Nightmare Tengu is causing trouble with the evil angels outside, or whether it is going its own way."
The three of them nodded to express their understanding. Han Chang scratched his chin and realized a problem:
"So, you have a way to know the location of all the Six Paths Divine Weapons? You also said before that if you can control these weapons and understand the Six Paths, you will be invincible. Since you know where they are scattered, why?
Why didn't you take it back for yourself? If they were all in the hands of a wise person like you, there wouldn't be some of the troubles that are happening now."
"Tao follows nature. Except for Duan Chenhuan, since the six swords are not in my hands and have not been entrusted to me, they should be allowed to circulate in the world." Master Lintian shook his head slightly, "I should not interfere, and I have no reason to interfere with other swords.
In the final analysis, those things do not belong to me, and it is no more reasonable for them to fall into my hands than to fall into the hands of others. If I use means to take them away by force, it is no different from others' robbery.
.”
"But if there are evil people among the others, how should we deal with it?" Jiao Mo asked.
"Yes, you may know that some people have used the Six Paths Divine Weapons to cause chaos." Xie Zhe also frowned, "The evil messengers of killing are controlled by cutting blood and sealing throats, killing others and spreading the desire to kill. Resentment is there.
On the Nightmare Dog, we also encountered an enemy who used a poisonous scimitar, which was quite difficult. Is it really reasonable for them to control these swords?"
"Well, I can understand your doubts. However, the root of evil lies in the evil people themselves. Even without the help of weapons, they will not simply change their evil ways. And these evil people will definitely get their own retribution for their evil deeds. Before that, we
These people must still be allowed to exist. Evil has the power of evil, and good has the value of good. Good and evil in human nature are like the yin and yang of Tai Chi, where there is yang within yin, yin within yang, and yin and yang are intertwined.
It's difficult to simply separate them." Master Lin Tian considered the words, "Furthermore, they may not have been evil people when they held weapons in their hands. They are no longer innocent until the day they commit evil. If they are arbitrarily judged because of crimes that have not yet occurred.
Treating a person the way he treats a sinner will only breed more sins. It also goes against good intentions to create suspicion between people and to be wary of each other for things that have not happened yet."
"Besides, concentrating power in the hands of one person is not a matter of destroying the balance. Once the balance in the world is broken, even good people can easily become evil people - or commit evil deeds. After all, everyone has no idea about absolute good and evil.
Everyone has their own definition, and once they have power, no matter whether they are good or bad, they may want to do something and bring about various changes. The greater the power, the greedier people will be. I cannot guarantee that if there is subversion,
The power of sex, will I want to do something I wouldn’t do otherwise?
.Others say that I have great power, but I don’t think so myself - or in other words, I don’t allow myself to think so. Only in this way can I control my possible greed. After all, I am also a person of flesh and blood.
People who remember the world of mortals
All kinds of things in it are why he has not ascended to immortality. But all human beings are bound to have desires, biases, and shortcomings... Therefore, they must control themselves and cannot put themselves in a position where they can judge others without authorization.
To avoid possible big mistakes.”
His calm eyes swept over everyone's face one by one. Everyone nodded or pondered, trying to understand the true meaning. Time was limited, so Lintian Master stopped talking and closed his eyes in concentration, trying to communicate with the sword spirit.
dialogue.
The three of them came back to their senses and stared at his every move. Master Lintian did not perform any complicated and fancy tricks. He just closed his eyes and held the long sword with his palms upward. In his hand, it was originally
The silent dead thing trembled slightly, as if it was given life, with a heart beating and breathing causing ups and downs.
The process was not abrupt, but the change happened very quickly. The vibration of Duanchenhuan gradually turned into floating, and then became a stable dynamic. It slowly rose upward until it was suspended in mid-air, right in front of Master Lintian. Lin
Although the Heavenly Master did not make a sound, the sword trembled occasionally, sometimes calmly, sometimes even buzzing, making a sword chant, as if it were a living creature, talking to the sword master.
Jiaomo and Hanzhang were fascinated by what they saw. Although they didn't know the mystery, they had never seen such a simple method to make weapons react like this and talk to them. Thinking about it, this is the so-called simplicity of the great way.
Xie Zhe was also observing carefully. Although he said nothing, compared to his companions, he seemed to vaguely notice some strange things.
The quest for the sword did not last long. After about a cup of tea, Duan Chenhuan calmed down and fell back into Master Lintian's hands. The latter opened his eyes and gently brushed the sword.
"The Nightmare Dog is in the south. From here, you have to continue walking south."
Xie Zhe and Han Zhang looked at each other and nodded tacitly. What Lin Tianshi said was consistent with the instructions of the divine bird. It seems that Nightmare Dog is on the territory of Wuyong family, and Ling Quan is also likely to be detained there.
.
"Okay, then, let's go south." Han Chang thought, "On the way to the south... we will pass by the place where my family is. However, if time is tight or there are other matters, we cannot make a detour.
If so, I don’t have to go back to visit.”
Jiao Mo seemed a little concerned, and she quickly said:
"Since my family is here, it's better to go back and take a look."
Han Chang smiled, patted his chest, and said quite proudly: "An Xin, they are all very capable, I feel very relieved."
Having said that, when he finished speaking, he felt somewhat uneasy. Jiao Mo could understand that he just advised himself not to think about it, so as not to be too nostalgic and delay his business. But it seemed that his family really made him feel at ease.
Xie Zhe said a vague "Huh".
Han Zhang felt a little strange, because according to Xie Zhe's temperament, he might have been persuaded to go home and take a look. But now, his mind was obviously elsewhere and he was a little distracted. Indeed, Xie Zhe was still thinking about what he had seen earlier.
At this scene, Master Lintian turned his eyes to him and raised his eyebrows. He did not mince words and said bluntly:
"I can see that you have clairvoyance and can observe things that are difficult for ordinary people to detect. When I asked about the sword just now, what did you...see?"
"I saw...a person? He was right opposite you. He was also sitting on the ground with his legs crossed, as if he was in trance. But except for me, no one seemed to see him."
Xie Zhe frowned, recalling the seemingly real and illusory scene in his eyes just now. The man was a man, with a peaceful appearance, nothing special about him. His long hair was as thick and black as pine smoke, soft and shiny, and was tied high.
Ponytail. His clothes were blue-gray, but the style did not look like those of this dynasty, and he also wore a forehead wipe of a similar color. But before Xie Zhe could elaborate, Master Lintian said:
"You read that right. That's Duan Chenhuan's sword spirit."
"Sword Spirit? It's actually...a sword spirit in human form?" Xie Zhe was a little surprised.
"Yes. The sword spirit is a kind of monster, slightly different from the fusangshen. Things used as weapons, including musical instruments, will generate special consciousness depending on the owner's spiritual power. These consciousnesses are some
The predecessors of the Fusangshen were mostly intangible and formless because they had no physical form. Naturally, there are very few weapon spirits in human form."
They suddenly thought of Xue Miyin. Is Amiao, whose Miyin resides in the shamisen, a weapon spirit, a fusangshen, or something else?
Lintian Master paused and then said: "But what you see... is just the appearance of that person. Because Duanchenhuan was originally an unfinished work, and it was Fu Songfeng who finally forged the sword with his own body.
Forged it into what it is today.”
“So that’s—that’s the swordsmith Sui Wu-kun?!”
Master Lintian smiled slightly and asked, "Are you surprised?"
"Well, there is a point. In my eyes, he is more like a man of letters... rather than someone who wields swords and swords. At least that's not what I expected based on those legends."
"People should not be judged by their appearance." The Heavenly Master shook his head gently, "But the sword spirit is not the swordsmith himself. It just has his appearance because of this origin."
Xie Zhe expressed his understanding. After a while of silence, he heard Master Lin Tian sighing softly.
"I don't often ask about swords, precisely because of the sword spirit. After all, if you face phantoms for too long and indulge in illusions, it is easy for people to lose sight of reality... But illusions will not be real after all.
The people and things that have passed away will never be looked back.”
Several people looked at each other in silence. Master Lintian's short words concealed a lot of helplessness that he had witnessed and experienced. Everyone understood the truth, but even so, there were still many people who fell in love with their deceased relatives in the painting.
, weeping silently? The reality is too cruel, so people tend to chase after those illusory things. If there are spiritual bodies like Fusong Fengdai visible, I don’t know how much is lacking.
People with self-control will lose their minds for non-existent people, and they will not be able to distinguish between black and white. People can never stand the test, and no one can use such things to test people's bottom line. I think Lintian Master can still maintain it to this day.
Being sober shows how determined he is. Even so, he has to remind himself all the time not to indulge in illusions, lest he be unable to extricate himself... let alone ordinary people.
The next day, they parted ways. Master Lintian was extremely benevolent and had to do what he had to do to save the people who should be saved. After parting ways with this one-day mentor, Xie Zhe and the other three embarked on a journey to find their friends again.
