Chapter 52 Dun Dun Teachings, Walk Your Own Way of the Sword
Ever since he started learning the sword, Gu Yusheng would go to the clouds and mist of Qingping Mountain half an hour earlier than yesterday every day.
Mr. Qin, carrying the sword box on his back, would always sit cross-legged on a stone on the flat ground and wait for him.
Qin Jiu was a man of few words. Except when he was giving guidance on Gu Yusheng's practice, most of the time he would sit cross-legged in silence and stare at the sky.
Qin Jiu was almost harsh on Gu Yusheng's sword practice. He did not allow Gu Yusheng to make any flaws or mistakes in his basic sword moves. His eyes would always follow the wooden sword in Gu Yusheng's hand.
And Gu Yusheng has never had the idea of being lazy. He practices swordsmanship and sitting exercises every day, and he is meticulous.
Until half a month later.
After Gu Yusheng finished practicing the fourteen basic moves, Qin Jiu signaled Gu Yusheng to stop and said: "Spring to summer, the days are getting longer. From the first day you practice swordsmanship, the time you practice swordsmanship is increasing every day. You go up the mountain
At this time, you can see that the peach blossoms in the mountains are in full bloom?"
Gu Yusheng replied: "Sir, I saw it."
"After half a month of hard training, you should also relax appropriately. Let's stop here today. At your age, you naturally like the mountains and rivers. Take a half-day rest."
Gu Yusheng bowed his hands and replied: "Sir, the green mountains are not old year after year, spring after spring, but I am growing up every day, and I dare not slack off at all. Please continue to teach me the way of swordsmanship, sir."
"
Qin Jiu stared at Gu Yusheng for a while and then said: "It's okay, the young man is full of energy and vitality. If you want to learn more, I will teach you more. I will teach you a telepathy technique so that you can master the sword as soon as possible.
The true meaning is that if you have free time every day, you can sit and watch the sword. Remember, the mountain is a sword and the water is also a sword. Don’t be bound by the world in your eyes, and don’t ignore the world you see in your eyes.”
Qin Jiu took a bamboo stick and wrote the words on the ground word by word. After Gu Yusheng remembered it, he would erase the words written in front of him.
This secret of sensing the heart only has a few hundred words, and Gu Yusheng quickly memorized it.
Qin Jiu was very satisfied with Gu Yusheng's memory and understanding.
He stood up from sitting cross-legged, stood on the edge of the cliff, and said: "I have watched you practice swordsmanship recently. Your control of the sword energy has reached a fever pitch, and the sword power is as condensed as a mountain. It only takes time and effort to achieve it. According to your practice,
The speed is already extremely fast, but you still have a long way to go before the true way of swordsmanship. Once the sword power is established, the next step is to understand the sword's intention. You must know the sword, and the sword must be connected to your soul."
Gu Yusheng listened carefully, and when he could ask, he said, "Sir, don't I need to start practicing swordsmanship again?"
Qin Jiu said patiently: "Let everything take its course. When practicing swordsmanship, you should also pay attention to the smooth flow. One's efforts will not be let down. I am just re-solidifying your foundation."
"The way of swordsmanship in the world can include sword fights among people in the market, and it can also include using swords to kill enemies thousands of miles away. Practitioners in the world, whether practicing boxing or practicing swordsmanship, all pursue the pursuit of defeating the enemy with force or killing the enemy with advantage.
, there is no distinction between superior and inferior. After cultivating to the soul-condensing realm, most of the cultivators will win based on their realm. If they learn one or two magical powers, they can kill monsters or be towering in all directions."
"Only the sword is different. Taking the sword as the way is not a technique, and whatever you practice may not be the way. There are three thousand ways in this world, and swordsmanship is just one of them. There are so many practitioners in the world, and there are only a few who can understand the way.
How many people?”
When Gu Yusheng heard this, he couldn't help but stand up straight. His eyes gradually became brighter. He held the wooden sword in his hand tightly and felt the weight and depth of the sword for the first time.
His eyes were full of curiosity and he said sincerely: "Sir, please teach me."
The sun fell on Qin Jiu's face, and his face gradually became clear, clear, and sharp.
Qin Jiu led Gu Yusheng to walk up Qingping Mountain step by step. As he walked, he said: "There are many swordsmen in this world. Most of them control the swords in their hands with the realm of cultivation. They can hurt people with their sword energy and capture people with their sword power. However, those who can
There are very few people who understand the meaning of the sword. They think that the sharpness of the sword in their hands is the inevitable result of advanced cultivation, but in fact, this is contrary to the way of the sword."
"In the beginning of learning swordsmanship, it is normal to pursue sword power, but you must remember that if you want to practice swordsmanship, you must follow your own path and understand your own sword intention."
Speaking of this, Qin Jiu sighed slightly, with memories in his eyes and a somewhat desolate expression.
"The human race is weak, and I once struggled to survive under the claws of monsters. When I was young, I also wanted to pursue the sword to slay monsters. As my practice deepened and I understood the truth, there was no turning back."
Gu Yusheng could feel Qin Jiu's regret when he said these words, but he didn't know how to speak in order to comfort the old man in front of him. He thought about it for a moment and said: "Perhaps without Sir cutting through thorns with a sword, our human race would not be able to continue as it is today. Sir
His sword has saved the world."
Hearing Gu Yusheng's words, Qin Jiu stopped and his expression became solemn: "Child, I am not that great. Remember, the key to being a human being and doing things is to stick to your heart. Never have such grand ideas as saving the world. As a human being,
Regardless of your deeds, your heart will not matter. When you are more capable, you will feel that you have more burdens on your shoulders. One day, you will overwhelm yourself. The good and evil of a person can never be judged by the sword in his hand. To be a human being is to be yourself. "
Qin Jiu raised his hand casually, and a peach blossom fell on his palm. He stretched his palm out to Gu Yusheng and said kindly, "How do you like it? Pretty, isn't it?"
Gu Yusheng nodded.
Qin Jiu turned his palm, covered the peach blossoms on the ground, and said: "People think peach blossoms are beautiful because they are beautiful and fragrant. They will subconsciously ignore the weeds and trees next to them and use peach blossoms as a good thing. If one day, you don't
We need peach blossoms, weeds and weeds as elixirs to heal our wounds, and we use plants and trees as good deeds. It can be seen that the good and evil in people's hearts will change with time and favorable conditions."
Gu Yusheng was thoughtful after hearing this, but he was still young and could not fully understand it.
Qin Jiu didn't care. He still carried the sword box and walked forward, teaching Gu Yusheng as if he was talking about ordinary things:
"Just now you said that I kill demons with my sword to benefit the human race. But you have to understand that in the eyes of the demon clan, I am a great evil person who kills their people. As monks, we learn to use swords to hoe the strong and help the weak. This is
It is a matter of duty, but it must not be kidnapped by morality."
"Whether it's a demon or a human being, the chaos in this world has never really stopped. Demons feed on demons and feed on humans. They distinguish between good and evil? How many people in this world claim to be from an upright family?
Or they are great heroes in slaying demons. We know that the demons who died under their swords were also demons who had never harmed anyone. Similarly, how many people of the same clan harmed each other and did despicable things for a little profit? "
"If one day, there is no big monster raging in this world, will the world really be at peace?"
Qin Jiu's words are serious and thoughtful.
"So, no matter when and where you hold the sword, you must have your true intention. Take the sword out of its sheath, obey your true intention, and kill those who deserve to be killed. You must not be merciful. Put your sword back into its sheath, and leave some goodwill behind for this cold person.
The world gets a little warmer.”
"I know you've been carrying a lot."
"But I hope you will be more pure in the way of swordsmanship."
