At the Jianhai Sword Appraisal Meeting, Jin Ziling did not initially have the idea of going there to watch it in person. He only sent a copy of the sword manual and had a simple sword discussion with other swordsmen from a distance.
However, it can't stand its gimmick - the best sword in the world.
this……
This aroused the interest of famous swordsmiths.
It is normal for a first-rate blacksmith to be curious about a first-rate swordsman.
So he had the idea of going to have a look.
If you can use the other party's name without being held accountable, you must have said hello in advance. In this case, the person involved will definitely go there in person.
Ling Jueding did not answer directly, but slowly opened his mouth and told what he had seen in the past:
"Learn for yourself, know the true nature, and all things are one."
At that time, Yuan Bahuang once relayed it to him, and he was surprised when he heard it. It seemed to be the best truth of Confucianism, but it was not just the best truth of Confucianism. It is easier to know than to practice.
He was not surprised at the other party's realm, but was surprised that the other party placed such an idea on a junior.
His friends really have confidence in him.
It is concluded that he can teach Yuan Bahuang to become a talent.
You know, at the beginning, he himself was not so confident.
After listening to what Ling Jueding said, Jin Ziling opened the folding fan in his hand and spoke slowly:
"Man is benevolence, and the essence of benevolence is the unity of heaven and man. Therefore, man is one with all things, and is indistinguishable from all things, no different from heaven and earth, and no different from you and me."
He dissected those twelve words and pointed directly to their core: "The benevolence of man is the benevolence of heaven. The Confucian school realizes the ultimate principles of sage, but it is easy to know but difficult to practice."
Jin Ziling was a good judge of things. He repeatedly read the profound meaning and murmured unconsciously, his voice was very soft, as if he was talking to himself:
"He won't really get to this point."
Finally, he looked at Ling Jueding, hoping to get a specific answer from the other party. Seeing that he had just mentioned a good friend, he must know something about the person involved.
Ling Jueding shook his head: "There is no sword mark in Lunjianhai."
The meaning is obvious. There are no sword marks in Jianhai. It does not mean that the person involved has not reached this step now. In other words, it is just that when the sword marks were made, he has not had time to reach this step.
In the middle, there was a gap of more than 1,400 years.
Not everyone will stay put.
Talent is often not a reasonable term.
"hiss."
After thinking about this, Jin Ziling subconsciously took a breath of air.
To be honest, it's a little hard to believe and hard to imagine.
People who don't know the goods think that these things are nothing, as if they are just like that. Only those who know the goods know what they mean.
We have reached this point and there is still no end to the war.
That’s pretty illustrative of the problem.
Ling Jueding shook his head: "No need to be surprised. If you look at him with a swordsman's thinking, you will easily fall into misunderstandings."
Looking at things with a fixed mindset will inevitably lead to one-sided results.
For example, if a swordsman challenges the world, most people will only pay attention to the realm of the swordsman, how many opponents he defeated in the process, and whether he has fought against those legendary figures. They really care about the possibilities behind it. There are very few people who make an impact.
When your thinking changes, what you see before you is a whole new world.
Jin Ziling thought about it for a while, but still didn't quite understand.
It's not that he is not smart enough, nor that his experience is not broad enough, but it is very simple. The two of them look at things in different directions and angles, and their gains will be different.
To put it simply, it comes from the limitations of the times.
Since he was confused, he didn't mind asking for advice directly.
"What kind of misunderstanding?"
"If you regard him as a swordsman, he is the best swordsman in the world, no one can match him. You can hardly see any shortcomings in him. The so-called best swordsman in the world, although it is a mistake It’s a mistake, but it deserves the title.”
As before, Ling Jueding did not hide his understanding and appreciation of his friends:
"However, these are other people's opinions. Although he himself uses the sword to inherit the Tao, he is not a swordsman, at least he cannot be called a regular swordsman."
Having said that, such a swordsman is actually not far from the ideal swordsman in Ling Jueding's mind.
The similarity between him and Jin Ziling is that both of them forge swords for others based on their sight. It is rare to have a close friend in life. There is no need to calculate the cost when forging swords for friends.
The difference between the two is:
Jin Ziling forged the sword just now, hoping that the swordsman who uses the sword he forged can use the sword that suits him to maximize his swordsmanship.
When the famous sword is in hand, the body and mind are integrated with the sword, just like a machine that fails to respond. The thunder cannot be fired and the lightning cannot fly. This is the true meaning of the sword.
Ling Jueding is more extensive in this aspect. He hopes that the sword he forges can help the swordsman become a first-class person in all aspects such as heart, skill, and Tao.
Sword cultivation is always inseparable from self-cultivation.
Different concepts lead to different concerns between the two.
Jin Ziling sighed softly: "It's rare to see you admire someone so highly."
“Those who hold wages for others should not be allowed to freeze to death in the wind and snow;
Those who control water for the common people must not let them drown in lakes and seas;
Those who strive for the present should not let it be drowned in dust;
Those who lay the foundation for the future must not make it narrow from broad to narrow.
You should see the changes in the plight in your eyes. Although there are some things that you and I cannot do, we should give corresponding respect to those who are doing those things with their heart. "
He is a person who follows his heart. Although he is not involved in the world, he is still in the world. There is no difference between him and Ling Jueding. However, due to the influence of his friends, his attitude towards certain things is different from that of Ling Jueding. There have been some slight differences in the past.
"In this case, this sword review meeting is indeed meaningful."
Jin Ziling shook his folding fan and nodded slightly. With this intention, there should be many outstanding swordsmen attending the meeting. Thinking about it, this sword review meeting should be very exciting. He might even be able to see another person at the venue. A friend.
After all, with the character of my friend, he would definitely go to see the new generation in the sword world.
I haven't seen him for many years, and I don't know if my friend still keeps the sword at home as usual.
"With his character, he should take the opportunity to attack the sword world and try to rectify the current atmosphere."
At the same time as he spoke, Ling Jueding sighed in his heart. It was not easy to establish an unprecedented peaceful and prosperous era far beyond the present.
This struggle in the rivers and lakes has been difficult to eradicate since ancient times.
"I'm quite looking forward to it."
After a conversation, Jin Ziling felt very relaxed. He felt that his trip to the Sword Forum should be quite fruitful.
Sure enough, this guy should get out and move around more.
At this moment, a breeze came, and Ling Jueding immediately transformed into two brand new tea cups and said with a smile:
"Ha, I am lucky enough to have three distinguished guests visit my remote thatched cottage in one day."
As the words fell, two figures were seen stepping onto the sword house. It was old friends who came to visit.
After hearing this, the visitor immediately replied: "We are not worthy of being a distinguished guest. I just hope that my friends will not dislike me and bothering me."
