Jian Wushuang's control of the avenue and his unique understanding allowed him to easily condense and sort it out.
If he liked reading books, he might be able to fill half of the Tiandao Book Pavilion.
Regarding the little emperor's invitation, Jian Wushuang thought about it for a moment and then readily agreed.
After resting for several months, he set up a vast dojo in the southernmost territory of Xiao Gutian as a place for sword discussions.
In order to join in the fun, Chen Qing, Chun Qiu, Cui Jing, Zhao Ting, and Wei Liujia all followed Jian Wushuang to the southernmost border of Xiaogutian. Even Di Qing followed with interest. Come here and get ready to listen together.
It was said that there were more than 4,000 sword cultivators, but in fact, nearly 10,000 top cultivators were present, including the remaining nine Yanxian, all present...
What is certain is that not one of the remaining forces under the Little Emperor is absent, they are all present.
Standing in the center of the dojo, looking at the overwhelmingly excited top cultivators all around him, the corners of Jian Wushuang's mouth twitched.
But this was not enough to make him stage frightened. After sighing helplessly, he quickly got into the mood.
"Someone who has been practicing swordsmanship for a long time will come forward."
"There are those who have been practicing swordsmanship for two years."
"Someone who has been cultivating for three years will come out."
…
Until the end of the Fourth Hua Year, after Jian Wushuang finished speaking, he waited for the result.
Soon, top cultivators came out one after another, each taking their own position.
Tens of breaths later, almost three thousand sword cultivators were divided into only three camps, and the three Yanxian who majored in swordsmanship had all practiced swordsmanship for three years.
This did not go beyond Jian Wushuang's expectations. Sword cultivation has never been orthodox. It was a matter of great perseverance for them to persist in practicing swordsmanship for three years.
Even though there are thousands of supreme treasures and real swords in Dayan World, they are nothing more than a medium, a medium for releasing the Immortal Style of Yan Li.
"Now, who can tell me what kendo is?"
Jian Wushuang looked at them and asked loudly.
All the sword cultivators looked at each other, including the three Yanxians, who frowned and fell into deep thought.
At this time, a swordsman who was not too inconspicuous and had a mediocre face took a step forward and said in a slightly nervous voice, "The way of swordsmanship is the way up."
As soon as he said this, everyone including the top cultivators in the outfield laughed.
The sword cultivator's face suddenly turned red, and he wanted to shrink back.
Di Qing, who was in the outfield, saw this and directly released his Yan power to maintain order and quiet down the dojo.
Jian Wushuang smiled slightly, "That's right. I also think that kendo is an upward path."
As soon as these words came out, all the sword cultivators became a little restless.
"No way, it's that simple?"
"How can such a complex swordsmanship be summarized in a few sentences..."
After receiving Jian Wushuang's affirmation, the sword cultivator nodded vigorously and his face became even redder.
After hearing those whispers, Jian Wushuang continued, "Who defined the way of swordsmanship? Who can define it? It is an illusory way, not even as practical as Xiuyan." "Now I want to say What’s more, no one can define the way of swordsmanship, because there are many ways of swordsmanship, and every swordsman is just trying to find an upward path.”
"At the same time, I can also tell you clearly that kendo is lonely. Everyone can define it arbitrarily. Even if you only do the simplest sword swing for a whole year, it is still part of kendo."
"There is no need to refute others, nor do you need to refute yourself. The way of swordsmanship is inherently impermanent, and an upward path is enough to summarize it."
All the top cultivators and sword cultivators had calmed down at this moment, listening to Jian Wushuang's argument with seeming understanding.
He said calmly, "Now, whether you understand it or not, I will tell you what swordsmanship means in my heart."
"The so-called swordsmanship, in my opinion, is actually the best to use eight words to describe it."
"The greatest simplicity, the most evolution, the most complexity. These eight words can sum it up."
"The original way of kendo must be the simplest. Even a single blow of a wooden stick may be the source of kendo. This is called simplicity."
"After that, the first piece of iron hammered out of iron ore completed its first mission of killing the enemy. It was actually a process of simplification and complexity."
"After the birth of the sword, the so-called sword intention and kendo became complicated."
"Among the large number of words I have said above, there are only eight words and one sentence that are useful. I will not elaborate on the rest."
No more than five people, or even one person, could understand such a profound discussion on the art of swordsmanship on the spot.
But Jian Wushuang obviously didn't expect them all to understand. What he wanted to do now was to let them feel and understand their respective sword intentions, and to give them some insights in a spoon-feeding manner.
As for Di Qing and the others who were sitting outside the dojo, no one spoke. They all had their brows furrowed, as if they were thinking and recollecting some truth.
After briefly summarizing the way of swordsmanship, Jian Wushuang spoke again, "I suddenly thought of another question. Can any of you tell me what swordsmanship is?"
This time, no sword cultivator spoke.
Just when Jian Wushuang was about to speak, the mediocre-looking sword cultivator spoke again, "Sword cultivator means practicing swordsmanship. Each sword cultivator with a different purpose will cultivate different skills." 's sword."
This seems like a nonsense sentence, but it has a unique and extremely insightful point.
Even Jian Wushuang smiled knowingly, "That's right, what's your name?"
"Hui Jian Tianguan, my name is Xu Jin." The mediocre-looking sword cultivator replied.
"It's a pretty good name," Jian Wushuang said, "Xu Jin, now I want to ask you to do something for me. Go to any mountain in Xiaogutian, find a weed, and give it to me."
He didn't hesitate at all. After accepting the promise, he turned around and left the dojo, heading for the mountains and rivers.
Later, Jian Wushuang continued, "The so-called true sword cultivator is one who can completely abandon external objects, feel the blow of mortal iron from the heart, and release the inner understanding of the sword style and sword intention."
"Compared to top cultivation and even immortal cultivation, the path of sword cultivation is a dead end. Only those with great perseverance will gradually understand their goals."
"Which of you has realized your own swordsmanship, even if it is just a framework?"
All the sword cultivators lowered their heads. They were the most mediocre sword cultivators, and could only barely condense their own sword intent. Even if they were top cultivators who were able to cultivate the power of cultivation, they were by no means outstanding.
And those who can understand their own swordsmanship are all extraordinary talents.
