Dong Qitian looked at Yun Yang with squinting eyes, and secretly cursed a silly bird.
You can just come and chat with me when you are bored, so why bother with women? Don’t you know that women are the most difficult and unreasonable animals in the world? And it’s like no other!
Dong Qitian coughed and said: "I still remember the legend back then. A friend asked him to give him two choices. The first was to reason with his wife; the second was to fight the Demon Emperor. Let him Choose any one.”
He said slowly: "Arguing with my wife is just a matter of words, but fighting the Demon King is almost a fatal battle. The difficulty is very different. But do you know how he chose?"
Yun Yang was very interested: "How did you choose?"
Dong Qitian said: "The palace master chose to fight the Demon Emperor without any hesitation! And the last battle was really fought..."
Yun Yang suddenly became sweaty, like Genghis Khan.
"That senior is truly a role model for our generation..."
…
At this time, there was a sword cry and a knife whistle in the field, all at the same time!
Body and sword merge into one! Man and knife unite!
As soon as the two took action, they showed off their unique skills in unison!
"Shi Wuchen has comprehended the sword's intention, and has reached the state where there is nothing but the sword." Dong Qitian looked at the field and said: "It is not far away from even comprehending the sword's intention."
"Where's Luo Dajiang?"
"Luo Dajiang is at the same level!" Dong Qitian said: "The sword intention is all over the body, and there is nothing else except the sword. Although he did not understand more about the sword heart, and did not even go there, he understood the other side. Xiang. That’s...everything in the world, nothing can’t be used as a sword!”
"In this battle, it doesn't matter who wins or loses; the only important thing is... As long as these two people can continue to go forward, and there is no dead end in the middle... Then, this Xuanhuang Realm will inevitably appear in a real sense again. The... Sword Emperor Sword Emperor!"
At the end of the battle, the two people on the field were gradually getting really angry.
Shi Wuchen and his sword turned into a killing autumn wind. Along with the autumn rain, autumn frost and autumn dew, it poured madly all the time, and the autumn wind, autumn rain and autumn dew were everywhere!
Up to this point in the battle, he had used Sanqiu Sword Technique seven or eight times in succession.
The sword intent becomes more and more bleak and cold.
Basically every time you use it, you will get a completely different new perception.
It seems that as the three autumn swordsmanship continues to be used, this bright spring is gradually rendered into a bleak autumn!
Shi Wuchen's mood became colder and colder as the sword was wielded, but the sword light became smoother and smoother, and his face was filled with a bleak and excited sense of chilling.
On the opposite side, Luo Dajiang has always maintained a steady and steady strategy. The whole body is always high in mountains and mountains, and it is difficult to shake; but it is not only defensive but not offensive. Once it turns to attack, it will be like a turbulent wave, unyielding!
Dong Qitian witnessed this scene with full eyes and could not help but sigh softly.
Yun Yang asked, "What's wrong?"
Dong Qitian said calmly: "Shi Wuchen has realized the true meaning of the sword and is entering another stage; however... the stage he is now stepping into is a wrong path, an elusive wrong path. Even if he tries hard, he can't reach it. It will be difficult to recover and the consequences will be endless.”
Yun Yang: "...?"
Although Yun Yang has good eyesight, his experience and experience are still far behind Dong Qitian, so he is puzzled by Dong Qitian's comments, because in Yun Yang's view, Shi Wuchen has already taken the initiative at this time and is gradually steering the battle situation. If you lean to your side, you have a great chance of winning. How come it is so terrible in Dong Qitian's eyes? !
"If we look at this battle alone, the outcome is clear. Shi Wuchen will win without a doubt!" Dong Qitian said: "Because, in this battle, he realized his own sword heart. There is no doubt about this. !”
"However, in this battle, the two sides embarked on two completely opposite paths."
"After this battle, Shi Wuchen's future path, the purpose of the sword will be to abandon all things in the world, only be loyal to the sword, and then be loyal to the Jiuzun Mansion, nothing else!"
"But Luo Dajiang is different. In addition to being loyal to the sword and the Jiuzun Mansion, he is also loyal to himself, to his brothers, to his affection, to his family... and to his ties."
Dong Qitian sighed softly.
Yun Yang was silent for a long time after hearing this, and said in a deep voice: "I understand what you mean. Is Shi Wuchen's current sword realm too extreme? Even if he gains a temporary benefit, he will have far-reaching consequences? But Luo Dajiang doesn't have such worries?"
Looking at the raging battle between the two people on the field, Dong Qitian said: "Yes, this difference depends on the essential difference between the two people themselves."
Yun Yang said: "Is it really that serious? Loyal to the sword, loyal to the Jiuzun Mansion, and nothing else. It doesn't seem like there is anything wrong with it. Why is it so hard to get back, and the disaster is so far-reaching?!"
“Whether it is good or bad is a matter of opinion, and the wise will understand it themselves.”
Dong Qitian smiled: "Some people have selfish motives, some don't, some live for ideals, some live for reality, it's all just a matter of stance. That's the difference."
"Living for ideals often ends badly; living for reality can allow you to appreciate all aspects of life and achieve great success." Dong Qitian said; "The reality I am talking about here is not selfishness. Do you understand this section? "
Yun Yang said: "Understood."
"Shi Wuchen, as a swordsman, you should be loyal to the sword, but you are too obsessed with the sword, which is... biased, too much is not enough."
"In other words, he successfully entered the world of swords, but he was addicted to it and was unable to escape. After a long time, how could he not accumulate a lot of trouble and make it difficult to return, causing endless disasters."
"A truly strong person must have a well-founded approach and retreat, and be at ease and harmonious. This is the most wonderful state of reaching the pinnacle!"
Dong Qitian said.
Yun Yang murmured: "I walked into the way of the sword, but couldn't get out, because I was obsessed with the sword..."
He felt like he understood something, but there was still a lot he didn't understand.
Dong Qitian smiled and said: "If you don't understand now, it may not be a good thing. But if you can understand something from here, it would be the best."
After saying this sentence, which seemed to have completely different meanings, Dong Qitian stood with his hands behind his hands and his eyes far away.
After a long while, he slowly said: "Back then, there was a custom in my hometown. Whenever someone died in the village, someone would be hired to play the suona. There was an old man in our village called Uncle Qin who was particularly good at it. This kind of suona instrument can make people cry once it is played, and it can also play heart-breaking music. No matter which family has a funeral, Uncle Qin is the one who must be invited. When Jufan arrives, the sadness that was originally only three points, under his suona playing, instantly disappears It increased to ten points, and the ghosts and gods howled, nothing to mention."
Speaking of the past events in his hometown, Dong Qitian's face showed a rare tenderness of nostalgia.
His distant eyes seemed to be back to the small mountain village back then, the place that he had always dreamed of.
Thousands of years have passed... I haven't gone back for so long!
He turned to Yun Yang and asked, "Have you ever heard of suona being played during a funeral?"
Yun Yang was confused and said: "I have heard that the custom of our Yutang Empire is also like this. As long as the family has some foundation, when the deceased is buried, they will ask someone to play the suona to see them off... Well, most of the people from my background The customs and customs of Tianxuan Continent are all like this."
Dong Qitian nodded happily: "I have heard that the Xuanhuang Realm used to have the same source as another plane. It seems that although the cultivators in the two realms are clearly superior, the most basic customs and traditions are the same and the roots are the same!"
"At that time, there was a child named Wu Geng in our village. His parents were both dead, and he grew up peeing on the food of hundreds of families. Uncle Qin was also lonely all his life. He was still an old bachelor when he was old. Seeing Wu Geng was so pitiful. , so he adopted him. Wu Geng gradually grew up, but when he reached the age of ten, he still had no skills, so he came up with the plan to learn to play suona from Uncle Qin to make a living. "
Yun Yang was baffled by Dong Qitian's sudden story-telling mode.
Uncle Qin? Fifth update
Play the suona? Funeral
Where is this going
Can these remarks be related to the fierce battle at hand and the obsession with sword realm and other things in practice? !
"But Uncle Qin didn't want Wu Geng to learn suona from him. He kept saying, son, it's not that I won't teach you, but... once you enter my profession, it will be difficult to go back. I'm afraid of harming you. A lifetime."
"But Wugeng didn't understand what Uncle Qin said at all. If you learn this craft, you will not only gain a skill, but also be respected by everyone from all over the country. If you have something to do, you will be invited, and if you are invited, you will be a guest. How could it harm you? Will you ruin my life? I can have food, drink, and make money, so why not..."
"But Uncle Qin never taught him. When he got older, he gradually couldn't play the suona anymore. He still had no skills at the fifth watch. He begged him again and again, saying, you are so old, how can you play the suona? After a while, I'm afraid I won't be able to play the suona anymore, and I still don't know anything. When you leave, I will have to be a beggar. Aren't you still willing to teach me? Look at me Will he die of cold and hunger someday? Not only Wu Geng, but also several elders in the village came to persuade me."
"Uncle Qin sighed and said, in that case, I will teach you. But there is one thing that must be made clear. You must not hate me in the future. That Wu Geng's face was full of joy and he agreed again and again."
"So Uncle Qin began to teach Wu Geng how to learn suona. Wu Geng also had some talents in suona. Geng Jian spent many days with Uncle Qin. He was so impressed by his ears and eyes that he had a good foundation, and he quickly picked up the skill. , the tunes played were all the same, but there was no sense of sadness and desolation, so every time Uncle Qin went out to attend a funeral, he would take him with him so that he could experience the desolation and sadness in this funeral suona."
"Uncle Qin said that when you play the funeral suona, you must not give out the slightest hint of joy. Funerals must have the style and rhythm of a funeral. If you can't play the suona, no one will invite you even if you learn how to play it."
"Wugeng firmly remembered Uncle Qin's words and wholeheartedly followed Uncle Qin to learn how to play suona. After a few years, everyone said that the suona played by Wu Geng became more and more like Uncle Qin, and everyone was competing for it. Invite him. That year when Uncle Qin passed away, Wu Geng played the suona all night long. From then on, everyone invited Wu Geng to see him off at any funeral. In this atmosphere, Wu Geng blew the suona, and the more he blew, the better. It is desolate, the more it blows, the more desolate it becomes, the more it blows, the more miserable it becomes... In the end, even until old age, I have not found a wife, let alone any children or grandchildren."
"When he got old, he finally understood what Uncle Qin meant when he said that it would harm his life. Going to a funeral means sadness, parting, despair, desolation, and misery. And the person who plays the suona must You have to have the same state of mind to be able to express this feeling, and to truly fit the mood of this family... Only with this attainment can people often invite you. But if you maintain this state of mind for a long time, where else can you find such a mood? My wife can take care of the children, so she really won’t even think about that anymore... I will only feel that life is boring all day long, and my heart will only be filled with sadness... "
"So before Wu Geng died, he buried the suona that had been with him all his life into the ground. In his later years, although many young people wanted to learn from his masters and promised to provide for him until they died, he did not receive half of it throughout his life. apprentice."
"After that, the elders in the village who had heard Uncle Qin perform the suona at Wu Geng's funeral all said... Ever since Uncle Qin and Wu Geng died, the village no longer feels like a dead person."
Dong Qitian finished speaking in a desolate tone and said, "Do you understand now? Shi Wuchen's sword has entered the cold."
Yun Yang breathed out softly and said: "I understand. All laws return to their origin, and nothing can change from its origin. Practicing the way of swordsmanship is the same as the way of suona. It is the same principle to go to the extreme. If you don't put all your body and mind into it, If you devote yourself to it, it will be difficult to learn it well, let alone achieve great success. But once you devote yourself wholeheartedly to it and cannot control yourself, whether you can get in or out, your whole person may be controlled and trapped by your own knowledge of practice. So you lose yourself, that’s what you mean!”
Dong Qitian said: "Yes, that's what it means. All laws return to their source, and the source is the same."
"In other words, Shi Wuchen has now embarked on the wrong path of being obsessed with swords and controlling them. Now he is not controlling the sword, but the sword is counteracting him. Is this what you mean?"
Yun Yang said.
Dong Qitian sighed leisurely and said: "Yes, Shi Wuchen is now in the upper sword realm where there is nothing but She Jian. He no longer cares about everything in the world, and even Even he himself is no exception. The only lucky thing is probably that he has not gone too far on this road, and he still has affection in his heart, and the Jiuzun Mansion, and there is still a chance to turn back."
Yun Yang turned his head and looked at the ongoing battle, focusing on Shi Wuchen, who had gradually gained the overwhelming upper hand, and remained silent.
Dong Qitian's words continued: "If one day, he doesn't even care about these, then he will truly be a man of swordsmanship. One move of the inner demon will backfire, and he will sink into hell, and there will be no way back. Once the cold is deep in the heart, , and there was no looking back.”
"This is by no means alarmist, because at that time, no matter any expert or strong man, the most he can do is kill him, but there is absolutely no way he can bring him back. Because at that time, he was just...another Wu Gen !”
Dong Qitian looked at Yun Yang with deep meaning in his eyes.
