If we simply use the memory of the episode where Sauron understood the breath of all things to explore, Roja would probably have to spend a lot of energy to figure out what this so-called breath of all things is.
However, in this essence of swordsmanship, the 'breath of all things' is explained extremely clearly.
The word "breathing of all things" sounds confusing, but if you use another word to describe this state, it would be extremely simple, that is...
Focus!
Yes, it is such a simple thing, but it sounds simple, but if you want to do it, it is actually an extremely difficult thing.
It is difficult for ordinary people to completely concentrate without distracting thoughts and focus on a certain thing or a single object.
When all the mind is completely concentrated and focused on a certain object or point, you can experience a completely different feeling.
That is the so-called 'breath of all things'.
"It turns out that this is the case. Absolute concentration on the sword and absolute concentration on cutting. In this state, you can produce a power that is completely different from ordinary slashing..."
Roja looked at the detailed explanation of the essence of swordsmanship in the essence of swordsmanship. He couldn't help but show an expression of 'I see' on his face and muttered to himself.
That's right.
After all, it is the information in the Navy Headquarters database. It must have been compiled by countless people, and is extremely detailed, and it is also the most simple and easy to understand.
However, even if you understand it, you may not be able to do it. Jianhao is not just a cat or a dog. He can catch a lot of them and anyone can do it.
Even if ordinary swordsmen know that the difference between them and swordsmen is the state of 'concentration', it may be difficult for them to keep their minds clear of distracting thoughts and stay focused.
Many swordsmen often need to practice swordsmanship continuously for several years, or even decades, to restrain their distracting thoughts before they can finally fully concentrate on 'cutting' and enter a state of 'concentration'.
The first threshold of a swordsman is enough to stop countless swordsmen.
"Are you focused?"
Roja looked at the information in his hand, read all the contents in this part, then closed his eyes and thought about it carefully, then put aside the information on the essentials of swordsmanship.
Generally speaking, if you want to stay focused, completely concentrate on 'cutting', you need to gradually enter that state and touch that state through countless chops.
However, Roja felt that he might not need to do that.
"peace in the heart… "
Roja closed his eyes, and while muttering to himself, he began to adjust his breathing and thoughts, so that all the complicated thoughts would converge one by one.
Roja is different from ordinary people. He died once. After coming to this world, his soul merged with the soul of the sword. It can be said that his spiritual power is much stronger than ordinary people.
Under the influence of this powerful soul and mental power, Roja does not need to use water grinding method bit by bit like ordinary people, but can use violent methods to forcibly gather his mind!
At first.
Luo Ya also encountered difficulty in controlling his mind. Many complicated thoughts kept popping up, causing constant interference to Luo Ya.
However, Roja's mind did not shift with any thought, and eliminated these confusing thoughts one by one.
gradually.
I don't know when it started, but Roja's heart gradually became empty.
Silently, Roja gently opened his eyes. His eyes were as clear as water. From his eyes, not even a single distracting thought could be seen.
Everything in the world seemed to be completely silent, without any sound. The only thing that sounded in my ears was the sound of my own heartbeat.
This is an extremely strange state.
This state is not about being in a daze, but about being able to clearly observe your own thoughts, and your consciousness is completely condensed into one line, without any complicated thoughts jumping out to interfere.
"Is this a state of being completely ethereal with no distracting thoughts?"
It was also the first time for Roja to enter this state. There was some surprise in his heart for a while, but he soon regained his composure.
This state is not a state of 'focus', but the state of 'focus' is an extension of this completely ethereal situation.
Roja began to try, focusing completely on the objects around him. It seemed that he could faintly hear the breathing of tables, chairs, teacups, the ground...
"Is this the domineering attitude of seeing and hearing?"
In this state, Roja suddenly had a suspicion, because this feeling was somewhat similar to the description of the domineering power of seeing and hearing.
He had an inexplicable feeling in his heart. In this state, if you go in the direction where your mind is completely focused on 'cutting', you will be in the realm of a swordsman, and if you go in the other direction, it seems to be the domineering power of seeing and hearing!
This state is probably also the prototype of the domineering power of seeing and hearing.
However, at this time, Roja had not yet obtained the practice of seeing and hearing domineering from Garp, but he knew that being able to enter this state meant that he had already glimpsed the level of a swordsman in the realm.
"Focus."
Roja's eyes returned to his sharp sword Yan Yue.
He gently pulled Yan Yue out, then picked up a piece of paper, looked at it with clear eyes, and threw it into the air.
"A sword that can cut through anything is the sword of a swordsman. If you want to be able to cut through anything, you must first be able to cut through anything... Give it a try."
Roja's mind at this time was completely focused on the piece of paper slowly falling in the air, and the sharp sword Yanyue held in his hands.
laugh! !
The next moment, Roja's sword suddenly swung out, causing a slight sound of breaking through the air in mid-air, exploding with an extremely sharp edge, and struck the falling piece of paper.
The page... was not cut.
If you want to cut open a piece of ordinary paper, that is a simple matter, but if you want to cut through it with a strong sword, but the paper is not cut open, this is a state of mind.
"This is it!"
Seeing that his sword did not cause any damage to the falling piece of paper, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in Luo Ya's clear eyes, and he also quit the state of concentration.
"Is it that simple?"
Putting Yan Yue back into the scabbard, Luo Ya picked up the piece of paper and looked at it, then suddenly shook his head slightly and said: "No, I entered that state in complete silence."
"It's not easy to be in that position at any time during a battle and stay in that state."
Thinking of this, Roja stood up, a clear look flashed in his eyes.
Sure enough, for him, this cultivation method of forcibly collecting his mind and entering a state of concentration is feasible!
If you want to understand the state of concentration, the most basic way is to swing the sword day after day, let your heart gradually become one with the sword, follow the sword, and finally fully understand and control it.
Another special method is the one that Luo Ya just used, which starts directly from the spiritual aspect. This method is also recorded in the essence of swordsmanship, but there are very few people who can successfully practice through this method.
Luo Ya is just the person suitable for this kind of cultivation method.
"Then the next step is to try to be able to freely enter the state of concentration under any circumstances, and to be able to freely maintain concentration and stabilize this state!"
"It feels...it seems to be very simple."
