Chapter 993: See yourself first, see the world later
"Am I that powerful?"
Yang Mu never expected that Hu Guiyi would speak so highly of himself.
He was happy at the same time, but also a little doubtful whether the other party was deliberately picking up nice things to say.
However, although he had not been in contact with the other party for a short time, Yang Mu felt that the other party was definitely not the kind of person who would deliberately say nice things.
Furthermore, the other party has no reason to please him.
Hu Guidai said: "I don't understand at all what you are doubting about yourself. What do you mean, without your master, you can't even get started? Isn't this nonsense?
Which cultivator does not need someone to guide him? It is the legendary Taoist ancestor. Although his talent is unparalleled in ancient and modern times, he has opened up a new path for cultivators in the world, but his first step on this road,
It’s the same as relying on others, not yourself.”
Yang Mu said: "You don't understand, it's not just as simple as paving the way. I can master the superb swordsmanship and body skills you mentioned, not at all by my own innate understanding, but by the insights of my master.
It was he who explained everything clearly and engraved it into my mind so that I could understand and master it.”
Hu Guiyi said with a smile: "Which master teaches his disciples without telling them all their insights? Do you think that just because of this, the disciples who don't have enough understanding can still master it?
Let me tell you this, if your talent is dull, then even if he carves everything into your mind, you will never get to this point. At most, you will just learn how to do it, and you will never become a master of swordsmanship!"
Looking at Hu Guiyi with sincere eyes, Yang Mu seemed to have a cloud of haze dispelled in his mind.
In the past, he always felt that he had the inheritance left by his master Mu Wuya in his mind, so it was natural that he could master the skills, swordsmanship, etc. in the inheritance.
These are all the work of the master!
No matter who gets this inheritance, they can have such achievements!
After hearing what Hu Guiyi said, he couldn't help but wonder, could it really be anyone else?
Perhaps, whether it can be mastered and how much it can be mastered depends on the understanding of the person who inherited it?
It was with the help of the "Scarlet Sacred Skeleton Tree" that he truly understood the things in his mind. This shows that not all of these things can be mastered as long as they are inherited!
Otherwise, where would the "Scarlet Sacred Skeleton Tree" be needed for help?
"If I am really just a mediocre person, maybe, even with the help of the 'Scarlet Sacred Skeleton Tree', I won't be able to master the level of swordsmanship of the 'Thirteen Green Lotus Swords' right away?"
Thinking of this, Yang Mu's eyes lit up, and he felt a sense of enlightenment.
At this time, he heard Hu Guiyi continue:
"Normally speaking, after a cultivator gets started, they 'see themselves first, then see the world.' But you, because you have a master who is too powerful and dotes on you, so you have not experienced this process.
Judging from your current situation, I am almost certain that he treats you like a baby and imparts all his own experiences to you. This saves you trouble, but it also makes you have no confidence in yourself.
A sound judgment."
Yang Mu thought to himself, it's not that my master treated me like an infant, but when he left the inheritance, I was just a baby!
From Mu Wuya's point of view, back then, he was not sure whether Yang Mu would eventually come to the Mountain and Sea Realm, let alone whether the master and apprentice would ever meet.
Therefore, he naturally put everything into Yang Mu's mind.
It is estimated that at that time, he did not have high expectations for Yang Mu. As long as Yang Mu could rely on his inheritance and live a happy life, that would be enough.
"What does it mean to 'see yourself first, then see the world'?" Yang Mu asked confused.
Hu Guidao said: "'Seeing oneself in advance' refers to the understanding of oneself, knowing one's own talents and understanding, and understanding the methods and paths of cultivation that are suitable for oneself.
'Seeing the world with hindsight' is to understand the mysteries of the world, integrate yourself into it, and walk on your own path! As for you, your situation is quite special. So far, you have followed the path paved by the Thousand-Faced Demon King.
Your own."
Yang Mu thought for a moment and said, "What do you mean, should I be like you and try to create a sword technique that suits me?"
"What kind of swordsmanship do you think is most suitable for you?" Hu Guiyi smiled.
Yang Mu shook his head. He didn't have an answer to this question for a while.
When he was choosing sword techniques from the inheritance left to him by Mu Wuya, he always thought about which sword technique was stronger, and he never thought about which sword technique was suitable or not.
Hu Guidai said: "Then there is no need to create a sword technique just to create a sword technique. That is meaningless. The road paved by the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord for you is relatively long, but no matter how long the road is, you will come to the end.
When the road he paved for you comes to an end, I believe that with your talent, you will definitely know what is suitable for you! By then, you and I will still have a battle!"
"Huh? You've been doing this for a long time, and you're telling me so much just to help me find a path that suits me, become stronger, and then fight you again?"
Only then did Yang Mu realize why the other party had said so much to him.
Hu Guiyi said matter-of-factly: "Otherwise? Next time we fight, the move I just made will definitely be successful! Even, I will have stronger means. By then, if you are still like you are today, then
I will win without any suspense, it would be too boring."
Yang Mu laughed: "You are quite interesting! In that case, I will leave it here. There will still be a battle between you and me in the future!"
When you meet a close friend, a thousand glasses of wine are too few. It is very rare in Yang Mu's opinion to meet an opponent who is evenly matched and can talk very speculatively.
Yang Mu is not in a hurry to leave the Qingmu Sect, he wants to stay here and wait for his master Mu Wuya to come over.
In the next two days, Yang Mu and Hu Guiyi drank wine twice and talked about kendo, and they gained something each time.
The two sides fought, and although he won in the end, he had great admiration for Hu Guiyi in his heart. If it were a single-round swordsmanship, he felt that there was still a long way between him and Hu Guiyi.
On the third day, when Yang Mu went to see Hu Guiyi again, he was told that Hu Guiyi had left the Qingmu Sect during the day and went on a trip.
A few more days passed, and Yang Mu finally came to Mu Wuya.
Mu Wuya asked him to come here first because he wanted to refine the elixir for his mother and lacked the corresponding materials.
After Yang Mu was told that Mu Wuya had arrived and went directly to the "Green Crow Sacred Tree", he couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurried towards the "Green Crow Sacred Tree".
"Great! Master, he didn't come to me immediately, but went to the 'Green Crow Sacred Tree'. There is a high probability that he found the required materials and even refined them into elixirs. I can't wait to try it out.
