In the end, with Li Dai's tenacity, patience and self-control, the black circle temporarily lost the power to torment her, and suddenly fell silent.
And when Duguye couldn't find any physical problems with Li Dai, he retreated again, acting very mysteriously, seeming to come and go without a trace.
Only at this time, the inexplicable sharp sword energy in the sky let Li Dai know that the Jiudian named Duguye had a private space of his own, where he practiced swordsmanship. He had set up many things in that private space, which was only visible to the naked eye. Undiscoverable.
Maybe it's because his Dugu Sword is so powerful. Even though he seemed to have opened up a small, isolated private space to practice his sword here, the extremely destructive sword energy still overflowed, making the black logs serve as pillars and beams. It became more dilapidated and desolate.
As the Chosen One got closer day by day, Dugu Ye and Li Dai didn't seem to worry about this matter at all. They were doing whatever they had to do, but the little steward became extremely anxious.
Dugu Ye only had the sword in his heart, and it was understandable that he was indifferent to everything else. But as for Li Dai, she was also so calm, which was puzzling.
She often makes gestures and comprehends in the wind of swords, and dances with the flow of sword energy. She is holding an inconspicuous piece of broken wood in her hand, but in her hands, in the endless wind of swords, it can be intact. It's harmless and can still exert powerful power, so this Li Dai is really another person that the steward can't see through. At least her mentality is much stronger than many people.
Li Dai is indeed not in a hurry, because Dugu Ye doesn't act, doesn't talk to him, and doesn't really accept her or acknowledge her, so he won't tell him any plans he has, but Li Dai is not really stupid when she comes to the Ninth Hall. Tian, during these times, she has been observing Dugu Ye and knows that he is actually a very pure person. The only thing he loves most is the sword. He will not pay too much attention to other people, whether they are good-looking or powerful. , then if you want to attract his attention to yourself, you have to say that you can only start with the sword.
Maybe, the sword is his only weakness!
Of course, Li Dai didn't have any messy thoughts in wanting to attract his attention. She just wanted to know more and tell the news about Chaoyang City from his mouth. It can be said that Chaoyang City has many treasures, and other people, even if they have identities, No matter how humble a commoner he is, he has at least a dozen treasures on his body, but Dugu Ye only has his sword on him from beginning to end.
Like herself, he did not accept Chaoyang City's treasure, which was the same as hers.
From this point alone, Li Dai felt that he was different and had doubts about Chaoyang City.
Her current time in Chaoyang City is still too short, because she has to come into contact with the upper echelons of Chaoyang City and such clear-minded people, and the Lord of the Ninth Hall did not disappoint her. He should be one of the few people with relatively clear minds.
But after observation, she knew that Dugu Ye valued the sword the most, so if she wanted him to take the initiative to tell her what he knew, she couldn't act too mediocre, at least to attract his attention and let him know that she was a capable person.
If it were other abilities, no matter how strong she was, Duguye would probably ignore her, but what if she excelled in swordsmanship?
At the beginning, the murderous and domineering Ling Ran in the Lonely Night Sword was suffocating. She really realized how powerful a heritage sword like the Lonely Night Sword was. Even if it was only leaked from an unknown place, Li Dai had A feeling of being suffocated by the sword energy in the sky.
She was in pain, but she did not take out a new sword, perform her own sword moves, and fully display her killing sword intent. Instead, she randomly selected a piece of wood, a fragile piece of wood, and let it sway in the bullying sword energy. In mint condition, sink in experience.
Because from the Sword of Loneliness, Li Dai quickly realized that protection is more difficult than destruction.
In an absolute killing environment, it is indeed much easier to kill or destroy something, but in such an extremely dangerous environment, it is tens of millions more difficult to protect a fragile thing from harm. times.
Therefore, a real sword cultivator, a truly powerful sword cultivator, can not only kill the person he wants to kill with a sword that cuts through mountains and rivers, but can also protect a person in danger with his own sword net, and protect the person who is in danger. At the same time, it does not harm others. This is the better state of sword cultivation.
In the beginning, even though Li Dai tried her best to make herself scarred, she still let her sword leak out of the sword energy, and her wooden stick was injured. But Li Dai is good at summarizing, and her comprehension is also terrifyingly high, so in Rugang When the wind-like sword energy and sword net strangled him, Li Dai used the wooden stick in his hand to transform the murderous sword energy into another kind of power, another kind of power that could protect himself.
This kind of transformation was carried out by Li Dai unconsciously. More than twenty days later, when Li Dai was able to transform the murderous intent of other people's swords into the power to protect herself at will, Li Dai herself was shocked.
The most important thing is that she vaguely felt that she had opened the door to a new century in terms of sword intention, but she did not know what kind of power it was.
After waking up from such an epiphany, Li Dai stopped and looked at the dumbfounded steward and Lonely Ye with deep eyes standing in front of her. Li Dai knew that she had achieved her original purpose of following the comprehension sword.
"Follow me!" Lone Ye looked at Li Dai and said, taking the lead to walk forward.
Li Dai followed immediately without hesitation. The young steward looked at the mess a few hundred meters around and stood there, too wise to follow.
He knew that Li Dai had completely fallen in Duguye's eyes.
Li Dai followed Dugu Ye for a long time. The ground was rugged, intertwined with high and low black log beams, and spider webs fell from time to time. It was a desolate place.
I don’t know how long they walked, but in front of two large rocks of more than ten meters, Lonely Ye drew out the sword on his back, slashed, and shattered the space with one sword, and then he walked in with one foot.
Although I had guessed that this man had reached a very high level in the art of swordsmanship, I didn't expect that with a sword, he could really open up a small space to transcend the tribulation at will. The space inside would not be broken, as if it was supported by some force.
This kind of ability is really terrifying.
Li Dai immediately followed him and followed her into the small, dark space.
In fact, as far as Li Dai is concerned, she is very interested in the study of space and time. She can open up space at will, even if she understands some space laws, she cannot do it. But from Lonely Night, she did not feel it at all. There are some kind of space spiritual roots, and he doesn't seem to use fixed space laws to open up space.
Is this the legendary saying that as long as you practice a certain aspect to the extreme, one method can be mastered and all methods can be mastered, and one sword can be understood and all methods can be understood?
There was no time for Li Dai to think so much. After entering it, Li Dai watched helplessly as the hole opened with the sword slowly closed up. A light came from the dark place. It turned out that at some unknown time, Lonely Night brought a piece of fluorescent stone. Take it out.
Suddenly, the small space was as bright as a hundred-watt light bulb, and Li Dai was able to understand the inner structure of the small space.
But at this look, Li Dai was really stunned.
The small space only has an area of more than ten square meters, and the overall area is not large. From the shape alone, it looks like a sword, and the space walls supporting the space are full of sword energy rippling in all directions. At a glance, it looks like a sword. The illusory little sword is inlaid on the thin barrier, which is very magical.
From the inside, she still couldn't feel any sense of the laws of space operating.
"This place is the place opened by my sword. It is extremely concealed. You can think of it as my sword realm, so you can say whatever you want here."
Although Dugu Ye only focused on the sword, he was not a fool. Li Dai tried so hard to attract his attention. It was impossible to say that it was without purpose. And she was able to comprehend things in her own sword net sword realm, which shows that She is really a very talented person, at least in the field of swordsmanship.
Such a person does not hesitate to waste a little of his time.
Hearing what she said, Li Dai was not in a hurry. Instead of asking what was in her heart immediately, she remembered what she had realized from the sword intention he leaked, and couldn't help but ask: "Senior Lonely, about the way of swordsmanship?" I'm sorry, I really have some unclear points. Please give me some advice."
Duguye nodded, and Ye didn't care about Li Dai's title, not to mention that with his achievements in swordsmanship, he was indeed worthy of being called a senior.
"Everyone says that the highest state of sword cultivation is the only sword in the heart. Only by concentrating 100% on it can one truly reach the highest state of swordsmanship. Is this true?"
"When practicing swordsmanship, if you comprehend two or more sword intentions at the same time and practice other techniques, does that mean you are not concentrating or focusing?"
If it were in the past, Li Dai would not have such doubts. Since she can comprehend two sword intentions, she can naturally comprehend more other sword intentions, and she has also achieved certain achievements. What's more, even if she practices miscellaneously, Judging from her current cultivation level and her achievements in alchemy and swordsmanship, she is on the right path. She always believes that the reason why swordsmanship requires concentration and the only sword in the heart is because the life of a monk is limited and human beings Your energy is limited, and if you are distracted by too many other things, you will naturally not be able to practice swordsmanship well, and you will not be able to achieve any great results.
But now that she has seen a real sword cultivator, her power, and the way a sword can open up space, Li Dai feels that there is a gap between herself and others. Could she really be wrong?
Although Li Dai has extensive training and many attack methods, sword attack is one of her biggest trump cards. Therefore, although she is not a pure swordsman, she hopes that the sword she uses does not require any pure swordsmanship. Now If she doesn't ask the question in her heart today, she will probably remember this obstacle forever.
"You are very talented!" Lonely Ye looked at Li Dai's cold voice and said, "Since you can understand the most important essence of my sword so quickly, it shows that your understanding is not low!"
"Yes, we monks use swords and play with swords. We not only use swords to kill and destroy, but also know how to use swords to protect and protect. This is a new realm. You can vaguely touch this It turns out that you are really talented." Lonely Ye seldom talked much and affirmed Li Dai again and again.
"But as a sword cultivator, to achieve results, of course you have to be pure, and you must be pure!" He answered loudly and without any argument, "Anyone who uses a sword impurely is an insult to the sword!"
"Especially for those who have a peerless sword in their hands. If they are not pure, it is almost impossible to get the sword's recognition, regardless of whether the sword has spirit or not!"
After finishing the last call, Li Dai turned pale, as if some faith collapsed in her heart.
"But..." He suddenly changed the topic again, with sharp eyes and a low voice, he looked at Li Dai and asked: "It's about purity, so what is true purity?"
"Um..." Li Dai hesitated for a moment and then said: "I practice swordsmanship for the rest of my life, and the only sword in my heart is purity."
This is something she truly felt from sword cultivators like Murong Yunhai and Lonely Night.
After hearing this, Dugu Ye showed a shallow smile, "Yes, you said that the body and mind are only swords. It is indeed the purest sword cultivation, but this is only pure in a narrow sense! In my opinion , the purity required for sword cultivation can also be in a broad sense."
"People are all different. Some people have only one heart and can only do one thing well, and they must go all out to do it seriously. But some people are born with seven orifices and exquisite hearts, and they can use their hearts and minds to do things at the same time. And if each other is not affected, then he can do three things seriously at the same time, and each "heart" is completing each thing seriously, and there is no influence on each other, you can say that he is not Are you not being serious?"
"So the standard for sword cultivation is not just based on the surface. Some people practice sword cultivation once in their life and it seems to be very pure. However, during the cultivation process, they have too many distracting thoughts in their hearts. That is, if they are pure in appearance and impure in heart, they will never be pure. Nothing will be accomplished.”
"Some people practice many things in their lives. When they only want to practice swords, they give up everything and think about nothing. Only the sword is in their mind. Then they are impure in appearance and pure in heart."
"So for our sword cultivators, true purity means that the heart of practicing swordsmanship must be pure. When holding the sword in your hand, there is only one sword. This is the only sword in your heart."
"If he can wield the only sword in his heart anytime and anywhere, then he is a pure swordsman. There is no need to look at whether he is multi-purpose or whether he has practiced other techniques."
"As long as the other techniques a monk practices do not affect the sword in his heart, then it is pure sword cultivation. This is purity in a broad sense."
"It's just like the monks who require them to abstain from sex and eat vegetarian food. It seems that only in this way can they prove that they have Buddha in their hearts. This is the same as a swordsman who only holds a sword in his hand and does not practice other things. He only achieves the form, but some eminent monks , wine and meat pass through the intestines, and remain in the heart of the Buddha, what is intangible is really just a form."
After hearing these words, Li Dai's eyes were really opened. Therefore, she could not reach the supreme state of having the only sword in her hand and the only sword in her heart. However, she abandoned her form and became a pure swordsman in a broad sense.
When she held the sword in her hand, her mind was empty and she didn't think about anything else. At that time, she only had the sword in her eyes and heart, and it was the only sword in her heart.
It is not only the practice of swordsmanship that requires purity, but also the practice of other skills. If the heart is not pure, if you have too many distracting thoughts about what you do, and if you are half-hearted, then you really can't achieve anything.
Li Dai bowed deeply: "Thank you, thank you for your guidance, senior!"
After solving the doubts in her heart about the sword, Li Dai felt that Lonely Night admired her a lot. It can be seen that Lonely Night only has swords in face and heart. He is the purest swordsman. Such a person will not plot against others. There wouldn't be so many messy thoughts, and there wouldn't be so many twists and turns, so what Li Dai wanted to know, she didn't make any twists and turns.
She said bluntly, "Senior Lonely, if you know anything about Chaoyang City, please tell me!"
"Senior is smart. He saw my little tricks and invited me into this small and highly hidden space. He must have made a decision to tell me everything. I want to know everything about Chaoyang City. , I want to know about that woman, whether she was really killed or locked up by you as rumored by the outside world."
As soon as Li Dai finished speaking, Lonely Night's admiration became even stronger: "You are very smart, and you grasped the key points as soon as you spoke!"
"What do you want to know about that woman? Come with me!"
"She does have a close relationship with the Lord of Chaoyang City!"
"You are a smart person. You must have discovered something is wrong. I won't say more. You will understand it when you see her." Lonely Ye continued to take the lead and followed the sword space to the end. The sword came out again, and another A deeper space was formed, and after walking through more than a dozen small sword spaces, we came to a spherical sword net.
The sharp sword energy, the solemn sword net, and in this more hidden place, an extremely dangerous sword ball appeared in front of Li Dai. When he arrived here, he could clearly hear the sharp curses of the woman inside the sword ball.
The language is very vicious and very crazy.
But Lonely Ye didn't change his expression when he heard this. It could be said that he didn't care at all.
As if she felt someone coming, the woman inside became even more excited, and the tall sword ball also vibrated crazily.
Crackling!
It seems to be in danger of breaking apart at any time.
