This mantra is really like running water, leaving no trace behind.
Shen Lian didn't even remember a word. Instead, he slowly blurred himself and fell into a dream.
This is a strange space, with wind, clouds, thunder and lightning, the sun, moon, stars, and celestial beings all changing with each other.
The six kinds of objects change alternately, hiding an eternal Tao between heaven and earth.
Shen Lian was in a trance, unable to think. Finally, with a dragon roar, everything disappeared and he woke up.
He has not dreamed for many years, because he has fallen into trance instead of sleeping, and there is no need to worry about dreams.
But this dream was magnificent, majestic, and extremely strange. He could still feel the aftertaste of this dream, which was far-reaching and elongated. There was an indescribable feeling in his heart, like joy, melancholy, and even more like silent loneliness.
Dongfang is white, and Ruoxi got up earlier than Shen Lian. He smelled the smell of pancakes and clear porridge.
Sometimes children's understanding seems to happen in an instant.
Shen Lian did not continue to dwell on last night's dream, but secretly remembered the feeling after waking up from the dream. The mana seeds of Taixu Shence in his body seemed to be sprouting in the soil in spring.
He carefully drank the porridge and pancakes cooked by Xiao Ruoxi. It was her first time cooking, but she could still eat. After all, Ruoxi is a smart child, and her perception is very sharp after being trained by Shen Lian.
If she wanted to learn swordsmanship, 99% of the swordsmen in the world would not be able to compete with her. If she wants to do something else, it will be top-notch.
Qualifications alone are not enough if they are used on the path of seeking the truth.
This requires fate, more importantly, the Dharma, and even luck.
Ruoxi watched Shen Lian eating what she cooked carefully, even more focused than when she was practicing calligraphy. The look in Shen Lian's face when he faced the little girl seemed very delicious, but he showed a very happy expression after eating it.
After eating and wiping the dishes, Shen Lian asked Xiao Ruoxi, "Do you want to go out to play tomorrow?"
The little girl said: "Where to go."
"The temple on the mountain is called Xiangji Temple." Shen Lian said.
"Is it fun?"
"I've never been there, so I don't know."
"I'm going."
"oh."
The daily chat between this pair of adults and children is always so boring. Only the two of them don't think that Ruoxi likes the excitement but doesn't like to participate.
The excitement and hustle and bustle are like fireworks during a festival. She likes to watch them silently alone or with her brother in a place with few people, and then she is satisfied.
The little girl's heart is easily satisfied because she asks for less and has fewer worries. She didn't know that she had a blood feud, and Shen Lian never took the initiative to tell her. She doesn't need to live for hatred, which is much easier for her than Bai Shaoliu.
This was the third time Shen Lian saw Bai Shaoliu. It could be seen that he was not as cold and arrogant as before, and he struggled to smile.
Shen Lian smiled and said, "Have you ever smiled in front of the mirror?"
Bai Shaoliu didn't know why Shen Lian asked, so he shook his head and said, "No."
"I think smiling in front of the mirror can strengthen your courage."
"Why?"
"Because when you laugh, it's scary."
Of course this was a joke, not a funny joke. Bai Shaoliu didn't laugh.
Xu Shi had no other expression for a long time. His facial muscles were very stiff and his smile was not completely recovered, making him look even more awkward.
After a moment of silence, Shen Liancai said, "Why are you looking for me?"
Bai Shaoliu said: "I'm here to thank you for saving your life that night."
He took out a piece of cloth from his body with pictures and text on it.
Shen Lian didn't answer, but just said: "This is what they want from you."
Bai Shaoliu nodded.
"Is it more valuable than your life?"
Bai Shaoliu said: "Yes." When he said this, his voice was much louder.
"That's why you gave it to me? It seems that you must have thought about it for a long time before deciding to bring it." Shen Lian said softly.
Bai Shaoliu was silent.
For some people, life is precious because only by living can you do the things that matter most to you. Shen Lian allowed him to survive. For him, it not only saved his life, but also gave him hope of revenge.
Moreover, he felt that only by handing this thing over to Shen Lian would it not fall into the hands of his enemies.
Shen Lian continued: "Do you want to accept my guidance?"
Bai Shaoliu looked at Shen Lian's delicate and graceful face. He knew in his heart how powerful Shen Lian was, but he never expected to learn anything from Shen Lian, because he already owed his life to Shen Lian. Asking for advice on practicing is too unreasonable.
He did not expect that Shen Lian would take the initiative to give him guidance.
He hesitated.
Shen Lian said: "It seems you don't want to accept it."
"No, it's just that I don't know how to repay you, or what I can do to help you." Bai Shaoliu said many words in succession.
"Then I owe it first." Shen Lian smiled.
Bai Shaoliu only thought he was dreaming. Shen Lian had already taken the roll of cloth in his hand, which recorded a sword technique - flowing water sword technique.
There is nothing outstanding about the moves and formulas, they are even a bit vulgar, and there are many flaws.
Shen Lian glanced at it and gave it back to Bai Shaoliu.
Bai Shaoliu didn't see an uneasy expression from Shen Lian. He was a little disappointed because this sword manual was really not worth mentioning.
But Shen Lian's next words denied his previous thoughts.
"This swordsmanship does have its merits. After you master it, it will be enough for you to roam the world and enjoy your grudges." Shen Lian said slowly.
"But I have been practicing it for more than ten years, and I have never felt how powerful it is."
"Have you ever seen running water?" Shen Lian suddenly asked.
"I've seen it." Bai Shaoliu's name has the word "liu" in it. The place where he was born and grew up is next to a stream.
"You have seen flowing water, but do you know why water flows?"
Bai Shaoliu was stunned, he couldn't answer.
"Then go to Anping Canal and see why the water flows. After you know the reason, come back to me."
Bai Shaoliu listened to Shen Lian's words, and although he didn't know the reason, he still did it, because in the martial arts, he believed that Shen Lian was one of the most powerful people in the world.
Of course, he didn't know that Shen Lian was not a martial artist, he was a practitioner.
Practicing martial arts is to strengthen the body and gain strength.
Cultivation is to understand the natural principles of heaven and earth, to seek longevity and eternity.
There are similarities between the two, but more differences.
After Shen Lian looked at the flowing water sword technique, he knew the deep meaning of the person who wrote this sword manual. This was not a sword technique, but a mysterious Taoist meaning between heaven and earth.
It tells the philosophy contained in the flowing water. Only by understanding the beauty of flowing water can we learn this sword technique and this sword technique will be powerful.
This is Taoist swordsmanship, not human martial arts.
If you hold the idea of learning martial arts and try to dissect the power of swordsmanship, you will learn nothing.
