There was a little sadness in Xie Zhe's eyes. He said melancholy:
"Actually... I have always felt that Mr. Mu Yue has misjudged the wrong person. Perhaps, he has overestimated me. At least I am not strong enough to bear his high expectations now." Xie Zhe took a deep breath for a while, and then said in a low voice, "The truth is On the matter, I have never been strong enough, whether it is Taoism or physical skills, I am just average. I have just hinted to myself since I was a child, convincing myself that I will take on important responsibilities in the future, and be prepared for it. Therefore, when Mutsuki-kun kills Fengyun I didn’t have any expectations when it was handed to me.”
Everyone listened quietly, and no one interrupted.
"But this level of preparation is obviously not enough. I am still too fragile, and even now, Feng Yunzhan has not fully acknowledged me."
Finally, he sighed dejectedly.
Master Lintian has been listening silently, without offering any indifferent comfort or making groundless accusations. Only after listening, he moved and asked politely:
"If you don't mind, could you show me the sword?"
Xie Zhe nodded, took off the sword and its scabbard, and held it in front of Master Lintian. He took Fengyun Slash and gently pulled it out of its scabbard.
The brilliance of this three-foot green blade is restrained, as light as a feather, and the ferocity of it as a weapon cannot be seen. The edge of the sword is sharp and smooth, without any rough edges, and there are no scratches on the surface. It seems as if it has never experienced a battle, and is brand new as if it has just been forged into shape.
After a while, he muttered:
"You should know that the Six Paths Divine Weapons are all the works of the previous Shui Wujun... Fusong Fengdai. Therefore, he was able to use these weapons freely and at the same time. But even he couldn't display them to his full potential. The greatest power of all swords as weapons. Otherwise, he should have unified the Jianghu and dominated the world... Of course, with his character, he would not do such a thing, but if someone could apply all the six divine weapons to that In such a realm, there must be the strength to do this." He looked at Fengyun Zhan and murmured, "The reason why I say this is because these six swords consumed Fu Songfeng's last days of life. The most dazzling masterpiece of his life. They symbolize the Six Paths and are the physical objects formed by the condensed Six Paths. In other words, they are the smelting of Fu Songfengdai's understanding and presentation of the Six Paths throughout his life. If you can use these weapons like an arm, you can Understand the Six Paths that he comprehended, and even understand the Six Paths themselves through his enlightenment.”
If Xie Zhe realized something, he heard Master Lin Tian continue to say:
"Do you understand? It does not mean that you have reached a state where you can understand the six paths before you can use the six paths. The process of using them is to understand the paths of the six paths. For example, the Duanchenhuan I used symbolizes humanity, but it does not require reading. Jin Qianfan can see through the mortal world in order to be able to wield this divine sword. On the contrary, if it can be used properly, it will help the user understand the true meaning of human nature and be able to see through the three thousand mortal world. The sword of heaven must be the same. In the past, you must have been useful It has used a stunning sword, but this?"
He raised his eyes to look at Xie Zhe, who didn't know whether he was guessing or reading something from the sword. He just nodded silently and confirmed what he said. It is true that in those critical moments in the past, he was able to use those amazing spells and control the wind and rain, even if it was only for a moment. Master Lintian smiled, with some recognition and appreciation in his words.
"That's it. This is not something that anyone can do. In the hands of ordinary people, the sword of heaven is not just scrap metal, it can also be called a pearl covered in dust. You can use it to such an extent, already It’s no small matter. It’s just that you have only been in the world for a short time and have little experience. With time, you will definitely achieve something.”
His words were sincere and his expression was solemn. It was obvious that he did not say these words simply for comfort. Everyone subconsciously believed his conclusion, but Jiao Mo thought about it and sighed softly.
"I just hope that the time he needs is not too long to rescue his friends from the devil's cave."
"It's not necessary to wait for mastery of swordsmanship." Master Lintian corrected, "In other words, practicing swordsmanship and rescuing companions can complement each other. All situations are changing, and we don't know what variables we will encounter next. , does it need to be solved with a sword, or does it allow him to use and understand the sword to a higher level. If you want to understand the way of heaven, you can also regard saving important people as one of the exercises."
"Old Xie, you can definitely do it." Han Chang patted Xie Zhe on the shoulder, "Not everything depends on you using your sword. Isn't it also me? We will definitely find her in time and rescue her. "
Xie Zhe didn't say anything. He took the Fengyun Slash that Lintian Master handed back to him and silently stroked the magic weapon. He couldn't make a confident declaration, but he also had the same hope.
"When you exert the power of Fengyun Slash, you must subconsciously regard it as your own existence like brothers and feet." Master Lintian saw him caressing the spine of the sword and further instructed, "The highest state of swordsmanship is the combination of man and sword. 1. You must have heard of this. Or rather, no matter whether it is a sword, a gun, a halberd or a halberd, this should be the case when any weapon is used until it is perfected. Use the sword as you wish. It is not only to use the sword as a part of the body, but also to use it directly as a will. After all, it is difficult for most people to control even their own bodies, or even make correct predictions."
"This...how is this possible?" Han Chang was quite confused. He was not questioning Lintian Master, but he really couldn't understand what the other party said. "As long as the limbs are sound and coordinated, and there is no disease or external interference, it shouldn't be possible. Are you here?"
Master Lintian could understand this confusion very well. He smiled, stood up, and motioned for Han Shan to stand up. Then, he stood in front of Han Shang and said to him:
"Stretch out your hand and place it on my heart."
Han Shangyang was a little puzzled, but it was just a simple matter, and there was no harm in thinking about it. He did as he was told, and Master Lintian continued:
"Close your eyes."
"People with normal vision, whether intentionally or unintentionally, will use this to correct incoordination in their movements at any time." He closed his eyes and heard Master Lintian explain slowly, "Therefore, only by temporarily rejecting the help brought by your eyes can you realize that you are Where you don’t have adequate control over your limbs. Now, don’t open your eyes yet, put your hand down first, and then put it back to the original place based on your memory and feeling.”
Han Chang nodded slightly. He carefully remembered the position he felt with his arm at this moment, then put his hand down and raised it again. Then he opened his eyes.
His hand was not on Master Lintian's heart, but rather on the upper left side. Han Zhang was slightly startled, and subconsciously looked down at Master Lintian's feet to confirm that he had not moved. He looked at his two friends again, and before he could speak, they both nodded in testimony.
"It's true that you went astray."
"This... uh, it doesn't count just now!" He waved his hand, "Do it again?"
"The result is the same. But if you want to try it, please go ahead."
So Han Chang tried again. This time, he silently reminded himself to remember to go down and to the right. When he opened his eyes again, he found that his position was too far to the right. Master Lintian smiled and pushed his hand away and sat down again.
"You see, if you keep hinting at yourself based on past experience, you will go too far."
Han Chang also sat down, shook his head in frustration and said:
"Okay, okay, I admit, that is indeed difficult. This is still my own palm, connected to the arm, and I can feel my own movements. But if I hold a sword, I cannot share the feeling of the sword. Hey, according to the Look at it this way, I’m really not a swordsman.”
He said half-jokingly, and patted the dagger at his side. Master Lintian saw his expensive scabbard and said bluntly:
"That sword of yours, if I remember correctly... it should be a long sword?"
Han Chang was slightly surprised: "You really know everything."
"No, I've only heard about it a little bit. If it didn't change hands with someone else, I guess it should have been given to you by Master Shi Wuqi."
"Yes. I... am looking for my brother. The Lord of Bones said that he couldn't help me with anything, but he gave me this sword. He said that this sword was worn by Kinnara, the god of song among the eight evil gods. The sword. Corresponding to it is the flute of the incense god Gandharva - also a Xiao. But so far, there seems to be no connection between them."
Master Lintian heard his words and nodded.
"I am an old acquaintance with Lord Bai Skeleton. This scabbard is priceless. He is willing to give you such a precious thing, and he must also believe in your character. As for the swordsmanship you just mentioned..." He responded quite seriously, "In the final analysis, I am not a swordsman. I am not a knight, samurai, or ronin, but an onmyoji, and the same is true for your friends. However, when people have no choice but to take up the sword one day, . Sometimes, it’s to protect yourself; sometimes, it’s to gain power for others, do more, and take on more responsibilities.”
Xie Zhe's lips trembled slightly, and he sighed with a hint of sadness:
"Can I... afford it?"
"What do you think?"
"Can I, like you, work for the welfare of the people like Mutsuki-kun hopes? At this point, I can't even save my own friends."
"Don't feel sorry for yourself." Master Lintian's tone became stern.
"sorry, I……"
"What is the common people, what is the welfare?" The Heavenly Master asked, "The common people are all living beings in the world, you are the common people, I am the common people, and your friends are also the common people. If you are going to save her, aren't you doing the welfare of the common people? Sometimes, you might as well withdraw your gaze, ignore the grand things for the time being, and focus on the so-called common people around you. As long as you care about the common people, everything you do will be for the common people and for yourself among all living beings."
Xie Zhe fell into a brief silence.
"...I seem to understand what you are saying." He rubbed his forehead, "However, I only understand what you are saying literally. Maybe my vision is not enough for me to understand these principles. I am very sorry. "
"No need to apologize, you will understand gradually. I can't say that you are too young, but you are not yet ready to understand."
Looking at Master Lintian's gentle brows, Xie Zhe felt a little weakly confident for some unknown reason.
"Back to the topic," Master Lintian turned sideways and took out Duan Chenhuan, "Under the current circumstances, I have one last solution. Unless I have to, I don't want to use such an unreliable method."
Han Chang glanced sideways and said, "You actually still have a hand? What kind of method can you use?"
Master Lintian straightened up and stretched his muscles. He placed Duan Chenhuan in front of him, stared at the sword quietly, and then said:
"Ask the sword."
