When Tang Zhao came into contact with the sword intention, he felt quite uneasy. Not only because that is the sword intention of the legendary sword Golden Crow, but also because now is not the time when he is in the best condition, the best spirit, and the most stable sword heart.
Even, let alone the best moment, it can be said to be the worst moment.
Since becoming a swordsman, he has never been so alienated from the sword.
Although it is said that the sword's heart is a mysterious and indescribable thing, Tang Zhao also has his own insights. Referring to some previous methods of dividing the sword's heart into stages, he also used his own set of metaphors to describe his feelings about the sword's heart.
At the beginning, when he learned the sword, he felt that the sword intention was floating around him. He could see it but couldn't touch it. He had to work hard to touch it, just like sincerely pursuing a beautiful woman. When he chased sincerely and passionately, this sincere feeling moved her. She stopped and stood there and let herself lean in. The two finally held hands. This node is called "the metal and the stone are opened".
Faith will move mountains to open.
This is the swordsman's unilateral sincerity, and the sword only accepts it.
At this point, the sword has accepted the swordsman. The two parties are in the contact period and the running-in period. The relationship is fragile and it is very easy to break up. If the relationship wants to go further, what is needed is emotional communication and heart-to-mind communication.
Compared with communication between people, communication between people and swords is more difficult, because the swordsman can't even find where the "heart" of the sword is at the beginning, so naturally he doesn't know how to communicate, so he uses the usual stupid methods, One is to call out the sword elephant and cultivate a tacit understanding at the cost of time. The other is to cultivate the sword's heart by oneself, move closer to the sword's intention, and then try to get a clear response from the sword.
It's like you know that the woman you like is standing far away, but there is a mountain and a layer of fog across the way. You can't get past it, so you can only shout loudly in an attempt to get her response.
Until one day, you suddenly get a response and hear her voice. It means that she understands your call and you understand her answer. With this harmony, the two parties can truly communicate, and the relationship will naturally develop by leaps and bounds in the future.
According to experience, once you get Kenshin's active response, you have passed the most important threshold to become a swordsman, the so-called "Swordsman's Stance". As long as Kenshin makes a big disclosure, it will be a matter of time before he can take the next step.
At this stage, even if the sword heart has reached a period of rapid growth, it suddenly becomes easier to increase the sword heart, even easier than communicating with a lover.
After all, no matter what, the lover is also a human being, and the heart is separated from the belly. When it comes to walking into her heart, it is just an adjective. But for a sword, you can really walk into it with your spirit, emotion, and will, and it can be done in a physical sense. blend.
A large amount of infusion of mind, like a rope, binds the two parties tighter and tighter. At the same time, the swordsman's consciousness has the initiative, enough to intuitively feel the subtle feedback of the sword's intention, allowing the sword's heart to find a more accurate direction.
The heart of the sword and the will of the sword have become more integrated, and they still have a very high level of understanding even after they are separated. The kind of tacit understanding that reaches the point where the two of them agree upon each other at the slightest thought, is the second stage of the sword's heart: "the heart is connected".
This journey does not sound difficult, but the key is that it is difficult for the swordsman himself to define which step he has reached, let alone carry out reasonable communication and practice. After all, Jianyi does not have a panel, no progress bar, or even a logo. It's already very difficult just to get the heart of the sword closer to the sword's intention, not to mention the difficulty of balancing the principle of "it's better for the guest to offend the host than for the host to attack the guest". You have to be close, be reserved, and seize the initiative. How difficult is this thing? Whoever tries knows.
For example, Tang Zhao himself is still not sure whether he has received a response from Guo Jian.
What is certain is that compared to the beginning, the tacit understanding between him and the sword elephant has increased. When commanding the sword elephant, there is no need for real "commands". When a thought comes up, the thought may not be transformed into thinking, and the sword is already moving at will. , isn’t this a tacit understanding by chance?
Of course, the tacit understanding is simultaneous between both parties. You have to wait for Tang Zhao to turn his thoughts into thoughts, organize the orders from the thoughts, and then Jian will act according to the orders. That is not called tacit understanding, but at most it is obedience, and Axiao can do it.
But when it comes to the communication between intelligent creatures, Tang Zhao feels that something is missing. The kind of clear and meaningful communication where you talk and I listen, and you come and go, has never happened.
Maybe he is too demanding and too impatient?
Because of this, although people often affirmed his rapid progress, and Xiang Yangzi also said that his sword heart was stable, he still felt uneasy when encountering such a big event where life and death decisions depended on the sword heart.
Since you are not sure, you must use all your strength.
When he adjusted his light to imitate the high-level talisman before, he had poured his will into the sword intent with all his strength. At that time, he still had no burden and could pour it easily and freely. At this time, he was facing several pressures from the Pearl Palace, as well as the pressure of becoming a benevolent person if he failed, as if he was carrying several thousand kilograms of shackles, and it was very difficult to mobilize his energy.
The more tied up, the harder you have to struggle.
Tang Zhao almost used the most powerful willpower in his life to desperately pour into the glimmer of light in his hand. He was forcing himself, putting all his heart and soul into the last inch of the sword elephant with all-out courage and courage.
If people don't push themselves, they don't know how much potential they have.
Tang Zhao used the mental training method in the "Great Sun God Chariot Sutra", as if he wanted to burn his mind like firewood, and the sparks and lightning rushed all the way into the sword elephant.
Concentrate, concentrate, concentrate!
At a certain critical point, he suddenly entered the world of spiritual visualization of the Great Sun Chariot.
He had entered that world many times before when he was exercising his mental power. There, the world was filled with light. He stood on the ground and looked up at the divine chariot that carried the sun across the sky. He could only see white horses passing by.
But when this moment entered, everything was turned upside down.
He is not on earth, but in heaven.
He has turned into light.
Although it does not have the majestic splendor of the six dragons returning to the sun, it has indeed turned into a ray of light, shining in the sky.
Even Tang Zhao himself could feel that the light was so shining and brilliant.
Just like the meaning of his sword - "light".
He is no longer a human being, but has transformed into his own sword intention!
After becoming Sword Intent, he seemed to be no longer himself, but he was still himself. Perhaps because of his extreme devotion, his independent consciousness was far more than during any mental exercise.
He even had a "self" when he turned into light.
It’s light and it’s Tang Zhao.
As Tang Zhao, he can think, make decisions, and be curious.
As light, he can do anything.
In this world, as long as it is related to the "light" sword intention, he can do anything.
In the light, it can be brilliant or gentle, it can shine or twinkle, it can illuminate the earth, or it can illuminate one person alone. Everything that is warm, bright, and dazzling belongs to him alone.
This is him, the existence where the bright sword intention merges with Tang Zhao.
He enjoyed the brilliance of the light and felt the authority of the sword intention. His consciousness was always searching for the critical point of the combination of Tang Zhao and the sword intention, hoping to perfectly integrate the two parts of him at this moment.
At some point, he did.
He almost completely controls the meaning of light, and is completely Tang Zhao's soul. He can do whatever he wants, and with a wave of his hand, there is light everywhere in the sky and the earth, leaving no shadow. He still felt it was not enough and released the light wantonly, as if he wanted to cover it with another layer of light, making it more powerful than the six dragons' chariot that streaked across the sky.
At this moment, although no one saw it, Tang Zhao was very satisfied.
In this world, it is a world of light. There is only light in the sky and on the earth.
Until he saw the other side.
The other side seems green.
The light turned around and saw the end of my own world and the beginning of another world.
At first glance, it is a piece of green, fresh green, grass green, sapphire green, dark green, all kinds of green are intertwined into one.
But if you look carefully, it's not just green. There are also red, purple, and yellow colors that are common in spring, as well as brown and gray colors of trees that are also common in nature. When you look carefully, there is also the blue of the sky. The cyan color of water, the yellow color of fruit...
The more you look, the more colorful and tempting the world becomes.
It was a world full of vitality and growth of all things.
It is a completely different world from the world where light covers everything.
But it’s also a lovely world.
If Tang Zhao's own consciousness was not so strong in the world of light, then Guang would never engage in such complex thinking. At most, it would just be an instinctive, muddled choice - can he get close, or can he not get close?
However, Tang Zhao can make decisions and proactively give reasons for his choice. It is a world that can be approached, and in essence, it is in harmony with his own world.
When we get close, not only will we not be repelled, but we can also benefit each other.
Light, come closer!
The meaning of light was already under his control, and he naturally leaned over.
While leaning over, he was still adjusting his posture.
This is another advantage of having clear consciousness. While Tang Zhao was leaning over, he was already actively thinking about how to approach him.
First of all, the two sides are not enemies.
He was conscious at this time, but his memory was blurry, and he could not recall the incident of the external sword intention, but he could realize one thing - he was not approaching for confrontation, but to connect with each other.
But there seems to be a choice in how to connect this relationship.
Is it equal or dominant? Is it distant or close? Is it direct or ambiguous?
This is not about doing whatever he wants. What he has to think about is, what kind of relationship is reasonable and has the highest success rate?
What is the logic that can connect two worlds and serve as a connecting line?
He pondered, and suddenly, the surrounding light shone brightly, as if he had received extra power out of thin air, and the light was as bright as the sun.
Yes, I am the sun!
I bring light and energy. I am high in the sky, and the opposite side can only grow like this under my light.
That colorful and beautiful world is all given by me!
In this way, I am its source and its master.
Then I am above it. I am as unkind as the sky and ruthless as the Dao. I don’t care about the vitality of all things in it, but it longs for my light and is full of respect for me.
understood.
I am the superior, light, press forward!
