The rain was falling, and drops of water dripped down from the entrance of the cave, like a curtain of water. The air was filled with the smell of fresh rain and earth, and it was peaceful and peaceful, making it a good time to chat and have company.
Jiang Shenyi's voice was also very calm, with no emotional ups and downs. At most, there was a little doubt.
"When we reviewed the game before, you accused him of choosing the wrong sword elephant. You said he was not really happy to get the gold ingot, but just to satisfy his desire. Once the desire is satisfied, he is no longer happy, and if it is not in line with the sword's intention, the sword elephant will decline. . But what is not like this? Isn’t the happiness in the world limited? What about eating, drinking, men and women, and people’s great desires? There will be a day when you are tired of eating good food, and there will be a day when you are tired of looking at beautiful women. Isn’t that right? No one can always match Joy’s sword intention?”
Wusuntong frowned and said: "Are there no real drunkards? Good wine, lustful, a liking from the bottom of my heart, a lifelong love, I am willing to die, and will always like it."
It is true that there are not many people like that, but choosing a swordsman is to select one from a thousand or one from a thousand. Why can't we choose such a talent?
Che Sha had another idea and said: "Maybe we can set a lofty ambition? For example, to be invincible in the world, only when we achieve the goal can we truly feel happy. And every small step towards the goal, such as defeating an enemy, brings a small joy. Then To be able to remain joyful and to move forward courageously.”
Several people nodded, this was a good move.
As for if you achieve your big goal but are still stuck - you are invincible, so it doesn't matter whether you make progress or not.
If that doesn't work, you can still make a grand vow like "I will never become a Buddha until hell is empty."
Jiang Shenyi even thought about meeting the grand master Zhang Rong on the road. Nostalgia, like joy, is also a state. It may not be as difficult to maintain as joy, but it is also a part of the relationship. Zhang Rong's nostalgia will last forever. Firstly, his homesickness becomes stronger and stronger as he gets older. Secondly, his hometown has been destroyed and can never be found again, so he can only exist in nostalgia. To put it harshly, the country was unlucky and the poet was lucky, but this made him happy.
And if, as Jiang Shenyi said, you place your attachment on a woman, the variables will be huge. Even if it is the seed of infatuation, it will last until death, but the woman herself is always alive. If something unexpected happens - such as a collapse of moral corruption, then the nostalgia may deteriorate overnight and never be recovered.
Tang Zhao pondered: "I think it is a bit narrow to only understand the sword intention as my own joy, and it is indeed too difficult. Joy is an emotion, and we Fu Sword Masters all know that emotions are the material for explosive fluctuations. , far less stable than will and thoughts. If we go around in a circle and understand joy as making other people happy, is it also consistent with the sword intention of joy? "
This idea comes from the Haechi Sword. The meaning of the Haechi Sword is fairness and justice. The judge's understanding is not to maintain justice himself, but to realize and execute justice. The swordsmanship developed in this way is powerful and consistent.
Of course, the ending of the judge is not good, but that was not the problem with the sword elephant at the beginning. The swordsman faces many problems, and there are difficulties at every stage, and he may be doomed at any time.
Jiang Shenyi said: "If it is to help people realize happiness, the sword elephant may be Xingmu? Folding fan? For actors?"
Tang Zhao suddenly laughed and said: "In fact, it can also be gold ingots. You are no longer happy when you see gold ingots. Wouldn't others like it if you give it to others? And there will always be people who like it. There is no problem in binding joy to money. As long as there is a slight change Perspective, if you become a money-spreading boy, this road will be clear.”
Wusun Tong said angrily: "These thieves only want to steal money. When will they be willing to give it away? He will never think of this."
Tang Zhao nodded and said: "That can only be blamed on his lack of education. In fact, the sword's intention is very broad. Jianxiang said it is his own mind, but in fact it depends very much on the moment of enlightenment of the sword. Sometimes he can't help it. It's just that Now that the Sword Elephant is complete, we should use it as the cornerstone, practice more, realize more, and communicate and integrate with the sword intention more. If something goes wrong, it is just wishful thinking to be lazy and change the Sword Elephant."
Everyone nodded, but Che Sha said: "Did you tell me before that the sword elephant will no longer recognize the original swordsman after it has been washed away? You also said that the sword and the swordsman are like a couple and cannot stand each other's betrayal?"
Tang Zhao said "Oh" and said: "I just said it to mess with his mind. In fact, I don't know if a sword that has been washed once can still match the original swordsman. But it's not right to say that you can't stand betrayal. , too anthropomorphic.”
He didn't know because it was rare. Sword cleaning usually involves waiting for the swordsman to die to remove the traces of the previous generation in order to match the new swordsman. How can a swordsman wash it while he is still alive? Which swordsmith would take on such a job? Those were all his random words to stimulate Ai Xin and make his sword heart collapse further. The metaphor is straightforward and vulgar, because it is the only way Ai Xin can understand it.
There is no need to tell the truth to the enemy.
Wusuntong nodded and said: "I have also heard that swords have no emotions. The Supreme Being is ruthless and will not select swordsmen because of grudges. Maybe if he holds the reforged sword again, he can still be a match."
Tang Zhao nodded, he also learned this way. The sword is an existence closer to "Tao". The meaning of Tao is mysterious and only suitable for fate. To talk about betrayal and hurt feelings is to put the sword in an understatement.
On the contrary, the sword elephant is more likely to have emotions, because the sword elephant is jointly created by the swordsman and the sword, and may inherit some of the swordsman's emotions. And will grow independently, and ultimately may not have the same temperament as the swordsman. If the swordsman betrays the sword elephant, it may cause fluctuations in the sword elephant, but it will not affect the sword itself.
At this time, Jiang Shenyi suddenly said: "Maybe he won't recognize it."
The other three people looked at him, and Jiang Shenyi said: "Master washed it once before, but it was not because the swordsman wanted to replace the sword elephant, but because the sword was contaminated by the demon, so that the entire outer layer had to be replaced. A swordsman's sword The elephants remain on the surface, so we can only wash off the swords and elephants together."
"Later, after being washed, the swordsman held the sword again and was no longer recognized by the sword."
Che Sha frowned and said, "Why is this? Even if the sword cares about betrayal, isn't this an accident? Washing away the contamination is not betrayal. Can't we admit it?"
Tang Zhao sighed lightly: "Maybe it's not that I mind the betrayal, it's just that we are no longer a match."
The sword initially recognized the person holding the sword at that time. After many years of separation, the swordsman's experience, thoughts, and temperament have all changed. Although he has grown up with the sword, he is ultimately completely different. We were originally close to each other, but the sword was once washed back to its original appearance. Can you still recognize the swordsman in front of you?
After so many years apart, how many people are still young when they come back?
The rain gradually stopped.
A few people packed up their things and continued on their way.
After experiencing a big war, everyone felt a little tired and did not want to continue fighting for a short time. Even Jiang Shenyi no longer had the mood to kill all the way through Lingzhou.
It's not that I'm scared, I'm just tired.
So according to Boss Wan's suggestion, a few people went to the city to find a "Huiyuan Escort Agency", paid a certain amount of money, and followed the caravan to hitchhike.
Not to mention, this escort agency really has something to offer. Regardless of the high price, poor conditions, and poor service, wherever the escort car passed by, all the big and small cottage thieves gave way, and they arrived in one town after another safely.
In those safer prefectures and counties, escort vehicles may be robbed when going out. In Lingzhou, where thieves are everywhere, escort vehicles are extremely safe, which shows that the world is very interesting.
A few people walk for a while, and a escort car travels for a while. We cleared out the thieves several times intermittently. After several days of small fights, we finally entered Yanzhou.
In Yanzhou, the air is different.
This place was divided and occupied by two warlords, who had been at war with each other for decades, but the court ignored it. Although each warlord only occupies half of the state and is not as powerful as Gaoyuan Hou of Yunzhou, but after all, he has formed a grassroots team, and his power may not be as powerful as Baixiong Mountain, which nominally occupies Lingzhou.
Along the way, they saw the scorched earth where warlords fought, and the battlefield where the two armies faced each other. The two major forces in Yanzhou have sent out armies with more than one swordsman on guard. Coupled with the boundless sea of people and soldiers, the situation is not something that a few Talisman swordsmen can intervene in.
Following Lao Jianghu's instructions, several people bypassed the criss-crossing dividing line between the two forces and took another cross-state passage that had been tacitly reserved by all parties. Both sides of the road can be said to be solid and clear, with barely a few grass growing on the ground. The extreme poverty can also be seen in the few villages. They didn't even go to the village to stay overnight in Yanzhou. They just camped beside the road. They really couldn't bear to be disturbed.
On the way, we entered several fortress-like cities, and we could see official notices for purchasing magic weapons. The price is very high, especially if you want to buy weapons for a long time. But few of them were in the mood to make war fortune.
After hurriedly passing through Yanzhou, we arrived at Yongzhou. Yongzhou is the old capital of the Jin Dynasty, and it has an imperial atmosphere. There is also Xijing, one of the six capitals, here, which is half of the capital. This place is quite peaceful and the land is fertile, so it can be considered a paradise.
Unfortunately, the local disaster is extremely serious. In order to maintain local stability, the number of district inspectors is very large and the taxes are extremely heavy. The people were afraid of evil and evaded taxes, so they escaped with ten houses and five empty houses. Xijing is such a big place, but the surrounding area is actually very desolate.
But no matter what, everyone felt a little better after seeing many man-made disasters, just natural disasters.
On the way, Tang Zhao met the inspector several times. Because the local prosecutors and prefecture bureaus in various places were under the local control and did not interfere with each other, Tang Zhao's status was difficult to use and it was inconvenient to get close to him. Upon closer inspection, I felt that the local land inspection department was well-equipped, even luxurious. Moreover, the uniforms are uniform, and the clothing also has the logo of the District Procuratorate - Sword Cutting Yin and Yang. Tang Zhao had been employed for several years and had only received a similar public uniform, which he had not worn a few times and was far less refined than others.
The foundation, this is the foundation.
There were only ten open magic caves along the way, but the time limit was getting closer and closer, and the few of them became less and less interested in wandering around. After traveling in Yongzhou for a few days, they passed through the state.
The southwest of Yongzhou borders Kungang. Their destination is among the endless snow-capped mountains in Kungang.
