Chapter 122 The real world
(It has not been revised yet, but you can check it out tomorrow!)
Su Xiaoxian walked slowly in this manor. Compared with the previous time when he was a little eager for quick success and quick success to find the Sword Tomb inheritance, his mood had quietly changed. The most intuitive expression is that the long sword he is holding, the yin and yang energy on it, has changed back to its previous black and white color.
The technique he practices is called "Nine Turns of Yin and Yang Technique". It is also a high-level yin and yang technique, coming from the same lineage as Li Chengtao's "Yin and Yang Double Wheel Technique". However, the two techniques have their own biases. One is based on the two wheels of yin and yang in the body and focuses on the martial artist's body skills. The other is based on the two qi of yin and yang and focuses on the integration of offense and defense. It’s impossible to say which of these two methods is superior or inferior, it just depends on the practitioner’s understanding.
But since Su Xiaoxian entered the Sword Tomb, he was affected by the Qi of the Sword Evil, and the Yin and Yang Qi in his body also changed. When he was on the third floor of the Sword Tomb, his black and white Qi Zhenyuan had turned black and red. Although the destructive power is much stronger than before, the cruelty and cruelty have also deepened.
At this time, Su Xiaoxian was also touched by the life of the original owner of the sword tomb, and his state of mind was much more stable than before and after becoming possessed by the devil. He saw a lot from the pages of the previous book, and some words were deeply touching to him, such as the short sentence "Big dreams become empty" that he saw in the study. Although he does not have as much experience as this ancient power and has not lived for so many years, Su Xiaoxian has naturally experienced the helplessness of the cruel reality in the past thirty years.
He has been extremely talented since he was a child, especially his talent in swordsmanship. He is known as "Sword Master" and is considered to be the best in the world. He has surpassed most of his peers. However, when he sets his sights on a bigger and broader world, there are more people than him. Stronger, more talented people still exist. Even those people were many steps ahead of me since they were born!
Su Xiaoxian was still very young at that time and had complained about the unfairness of the world, and Ou Ye Changfeng had told him so. The world is so cruel, and when you are young, it will give you an illusion: making you feel that there is not much difference between you and those top people.
Taking the whole body's meridians as an example, Su Xiaoxian's ability to connect the whole body at the age of eight is considered the earliest record of the Qingyun Sect. However, among the eight major sects or among the top aristocratic families in the world, this level can only be considered above average. Among them, there are many people who are six or seven years old, and even the direct descendants of the Mighty Saint have had their meridians penetrated from birth!
At that time, Su Xiaoxian was still unconvinced. He felt that having full meridians at the age of eight was not bad enough. Even compared to those who had full meridians from birth, there was only an eight-year gap. In addition, when they grew up and started to practice, the actual gap was It's only a matter of one or two years.
However, this is not the case! He always remembered what Ou Ye Changfeng said to him: "The reason why you have full meridians at the age of eight is because you can only have full meridians at the age of eight. And they have full meridians as soon as they are born, because the upper limit is birth!"
Su Xiaoxian didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at the time. He only understood it later when he grew up and entered the world. The arena is like a competition with no rules. You can use whatever means you can think of and use. If you were to score Su Xiaoxian as a child based on his talent and performance, he would have scored ninety-five points. And those whose meridians are connected at birth can get a hundred points.
However, the gap between ninety-five and one hundred points is not the five points on the surface. Because Su Xiaoxian got ninety-five points, it was the most he could get, and the first place got one hundred points because the full score was only one hundred points.
But the real world is a world without rules. No one will draw these rules and regulations for you and give you a so-called upper limit of points. It wasn't until he actually entered the arena that he realized that he could still only score ninety-five, but the score for first place kept adding up because there was no upper limit. Even some of them have reached heights that he cannot reach even with a single struggle!
This is the real world, cruel and helpless. Su Xiaoxian could lower his head and look at those junior brothers and sisters who only had "fifty points" and "sixty points". For them, he, the number one person in the Qingyun Sword Sect, was the ceiling they looked up to. Su Xiaoxian could also raise his head, look at the first person who had scored "tens of thousands of points", and let out a feeble sigh.
This is the essence of Jianghu, whether it is now or in ancient times thousands of years ago. It is a place where a person with a little bit of talent and a little hard work can surpass most people, but it is also a place where even if he spends his whole life, he may not be able to reach the so-called best in the world!
…………Dividing line…………
Su Xiaoxian walked around the yard twice, gradually calming down the throbbing in his heart. He turned his head and looked at the stone wall that was cut open by his sword, and a trace of doubt slowly appeared in his eyes.
If the poem he saw in the study before touched him, what he saw in the stone wall afterwards was a little beyond his understanding.
Especially the seven-character quatrain. Although he didn't understand the rhyme and rhyme, it clearly talked about the love between children, which was difficult for him to understand. In his opinion, the love between children can only be regarded as a minor path in the face of martial arts.
After all, the road to martial arts is a lonely road. Even if you form a couple who practice martial arts, it is difficult to stay together for life! For some martial arts masters who have been famous for a long time in the world and are often over a hundred years old, how many beautiful women can join hands with them for a lifetime? In the end, they are just red and pink bones.
Of course, this understanding was also inherited from Ou Ye Changfeng. In the words of the old man: "Without a woman in my heart, draw your sword to the God of Nature! On the first page of the sword manual, forget your sweetheart!"
Therefore, although Su Xiaoxian is close to thirty years old, he has never been involved in emotional matters, so he is somewhat confused about the experience of this peak martial arts expert.
Could it be said that such a person who was deeply involved in the love between a man and a woman finally became the top martial arts being in the world a thousand years ago? You must know that this is an ancient secret realm, and its stable rules of heaven and earth are enough to show the terrifying strength of the original owner of this secret realm, which is definitely not comparable to those warriors before the eleventh level!
Su Xiaoxian walked towards the lonely stone wall again, pulled out a stack of book pages again, and looked at it carefully...
"Yueying and Hansu are not as beautiful as you."
This should be a letter, very similar to the one with the seven-character poem written on it, sandwiched between pages full of trivial matters.
Su Xiaoxian couldn't help but frown, and he flipped through the pages below again. They were still filled with trivial matters in life. Suddenly an idea came to his mind. He put the pages in his hand on the ground again, then raised his hand, and another stack of pages on the stone wall fell into his hands again, and he started rummaging through it again...
