"What I comprehended just now is different from ordinary sword intent and sword intent."
Lin Ming looked directly at Xu Aodong.
Xu Aodong smiled, "It's indeed different. What I understand is the artistic conception, which is different from the sword's intention."
"Please give me some advice, Mr. Xu." Lin Ming nodded.
Xu Aodong smiled and raised the tea cup, "Don't worry, Lao Cao has been making tea all night, and you haven't drunk it yet. Let's talk while drinking."
Lin Ming nodded slightly and sat down at the tea table.
He picked up the celadon teacup and took a sip.
The little guy, Wenren Qianyi, and Cao Zhuqing were all silent. They were also curious about what the artistic conception was, and what does it have to do with wanting to understand it?
After drinking a cup of tea, Xu Aodong spoke slowly.
"The difference between artistic conception and sword intention is quite subtle. I also realized it while killing for seven days and nights."
Lin Ming raised his hand and rubbed his brow, "So, what I lack is experience?"
Xu Aodong showed an inscrutable smile, "Yes and no, if you can achieve artistic conception through just experience, I'm afraid everyone in the world will have learned artistic conception by now."
"Then..." Lin Ming sounded confused.
"Hey, Lao Xu, please stop showing off." Wen Ren Qianyi patted the table.
Cao Zhuqing helped: "Yes, I have never heard you mention such secrets before. Now that the words are on my lips, hurry up."
Xu Aodong laughed and said: "Hahahahaha, it's rare, it's rare, Lao Cao, you are not impatient."
At this time, the little guy raised his paw and licked it, "I'm even curious."
Lin Ming rubbed the little guy's head, and there was a hint of hope in his eyes.
Xianyue Tower is always the sword hanging above his head, and Wuyue is hiding in the academy. It can be said that danger is around him.
If he couldn't understand the artistic conception, he would never be able to take the initiative when facing Wuyue, and could only continue to be beaten.
"As the saying goes, if you defend for a long time, you will lose. I must have a killing move that can make Wuyue extremely afraid!"
Lin Ming pressed his nose against the bridge of his nose and made up his mind, "This artistic conception must be understood!"
At this time, Xu Aodong smiled and nodded with satisfaction, "Since you are so sincere, then I will chat."
Cao Zhuqing rolled his eyes, smiled and cursed: "Virtue!"
Hearing Ren Qianyi let out a light sigh and cursed a few words.
Lin Ming pricked up his ears, his eyes were as bright as stars, and he was extremely serious.
The little guy nodded like a fool, "Say it quickly, say it quickly."
"Okay, actually, this matter started when I was young. I once met a divine man." Xu Aodong glanced sideways at Wenren Qianyi, "The blacksmith was probably scolded in front of that man. share."
Wenren Qianyi's face was trembling with stubble, "I have already surpassed the realm of an ordinary saint. Unless you meet that kind of old monster that is born every thousand years, otherwise, I will laugh at you now."
"Believe it or not," Xu Aodong turned his head and looked at the others, "That senior told me back then that one must have faith in one's heart. Martial arts without faith are nothing."
"This will definitely be of great use to you, little friend."
"Faith?" Lin Ming frowned, "The key to artistic conception lies in the word faith?"
"Absolutely." Xu Aodong grinned.
The little guy scratched his head, "It seems like you didn't say anything at all?"
"Be more confident. Remove these two words. The lame thing is that you didn't say anything." Wenren Qianyi tilted his mouth.
Veins bulged on Xu Aodong's forehead, "Go, go, go, I haven't finished talking yet, what's the matter?"
"What I want to say below is the key point. Listen carefully, little friend Lin Ming. Sword Intent may be the meaning you get by simulating all things in the world, or it may be some kind of realization you have on the road of life, or it may be something special. Touching, all these have one characteristic - they are elusive and hard to find."
"However, artistic conception is different. It is rooted in your beliefs and is firmly fixed in your heart. It is a collection of your martial arts beliefs and life creeds. There are very few people who can understand the artistic conception. Even some people are saints, but they are useless. "
Wenren Qianyi choked suddenly and spilled the tea on the floor.
The old boy still holds a grudge and mocks me!
Xu Aodong raised his eyebrows and continued:
"That man of God back then was named Baili Sword God. He saw that my sword not only contained meaning, but also contained faith, so he just gave me a few words."
"According to him, the most important point from sublimating belief to artistic conception is to know yourself."
"To know yourself, only look within, not outside." Lin Ming suddenly said.
"How wonderful!" Xu Aodong stared in surprise, "What you said is similar to that of that divine man."
The little guy jumped up and down, "Brother Ming is awesome!"
Cao Zhuqing took a sip of tea and asked, "What are the original words?"
"The confused see the desire, the sincere see the heart." Xu Aodong patted his sword, as if imitating the tone of the god-man back then.
"It turns out that it is like this. A deluded person sees desire and is confused by external objects. All actions are impermanent. The color of dogs and horses disturbs people's hearts. The sincere person sees the heart and is not disturbed by external objects. If the heart does not move, everything will not move. The heart is like a clear mirror. People Able to self-examine. These eight characters alone prove that the title of god and man is worthy of the title!"
Cao Zhu sighed leisurely.
Wenren Qianyi's eyes sparkled, as if he had some realization.
At this time, Lin Ming nodded and said: "I understand, what exactly is wrong with me? I haven't fully understood my own mind yet, so of course I can't truly grasp the artistic conception!"
"Yes, you are still young and often don't know what you really want. Only after you have rich experiences can you gradually understand life and find your true self."
Xu Aodong smiled and raised three fingers.
"Back then, the man of God once mentioned the three levels of artistic conception mentioned by Tao Zun. Let me tell you."
After a pause, he said: "On the first level, you can see yourself; on the second level, you can see the heaven and earth; on the third level, you can see all living beings."
"The artistic conception is only the third level of heaven, but one step is a leap. I have only reached the level of seeing myself, and others dare not tell me. You let the blacksmith declare his own realm, and then ask him if he dares to take my third sword?"
Lin Ming raised his eyebrows and said solemnly in his heart: "This line seems a bit familiar. Why does it feel like it has something to do with that fellow who likes to wear flip-flops?"
Looking on, Wenren Qianyi's expression turned particularly exciting, turning black, red, yellow, purple, blue and white.
"Co-author, are you trying to challenge me today?"
Xu Aodong turned the back of his head to Wenren Qianyi, took a sip of tea, and stared at Lin Ming.
"My little friend, do you want to find your own artistic conception immediately?"
"Of course I do!" Lin Ming blurted out.
Xu Aodong raised one eyebrow and lowered the other, giving a slanted look as if his plot had succeeded.
"Okay, then take this thing and go to the Divine Cultural Museum another day."
After saying this, he gave out a strange stone with a transparent shell and swirling clouds inside.
Lin Ming looked at it carefully for a few times, and then the little guy snatched it away, holding it in his two paws and exclaiming that it was magical.
Xu Aodong warned: "Take this object and go to the Trial Sea of Clouds. The stone will lead you to the Heart Refining Sword Path left by Baili Sword God. You and he are both sword cultivators, and the effect will be much improved."
Lin Ming said: "This thing is so precious, I..."
Xu Aodong waved his hand, "Don't tell anyone else, you cured my leg, so this can be considered as treatment money!"
At this time, Cao Zhuqing smiled and said: "Lao Xu's business is over, it's my turn."
Lin Ming turned around and looked.
Cao Zhuqing straightened his clothes, and then said, "Little friend, do you still remember what you said that day?"
Lin Ming's face showed confusion.
Cao Zhuqing smiled and said: "I am good at using soldiers and like to make tea. I think I have a lot of insight into people. In my opinion, my little friend must be an unparalleled talent in the country."
Lin Ming blinked, raised his hands, and was about to speak.
At this time, Cao Zhuqing held his hand and smiled, "I will leave Qingye today. I hope you and I can meet in Ningjing one day."
After being slightly stunned, Lin Ming replied: "Okay, if this junior goes to Ningjing, he will definitely go there to reminisce about the past."
A smile flashed across Cao Zhuqing's eyes, he nodded slightly and said:
"By the way, my subordinates are coming soon, little friend, why don't you come with me to meet them?"
Lin Ming nodded, "Okay."
