After Ye Xuan left, he remembered what Chang Yijian said, the Sword Master of Subduing Demons asked him to go to his Temple of Subduing Demons after meeting Wen Yue.
Although Ye Xuan knew that the Demon Subduing Sword Master had the intention to guide him, but he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. Although he is in a stable state of mind, which one of these ghosts is not an old monster who has lived for thousands of years
However, even though he was nervous, Ye Xuan knew that this was his opportunity, and he hurried to Fumo Temple just after leaving Wenyue.
This Temple of Subduing Demons is very big. Ye Xuan saw it was as high as a hundred feet at a glance. On the top of this hall, there stood an ugly statue, which looked extremely weird.
And Ye Xuan, after coming to Fumo Temple, has been standing in front of Fumo Temple. Seeing that Fumo Temple is locked, the door is closed, and he is not in a hurry to enter.
He knew that when he came to Fumo Temple, the Swordmaster of Fumo must know it clearly. If the other party wanted him to go in, he could just send a voice transmission and he would be able to go in. And the Sword Master Volunteer Demon is not transmitting sound now, which means that it is not the time for him to go in. If he rushes in, it will be a disgrace to Chang Yijian. Ye Xuan will not do such a stupid thing.
However, Chang Yijian had no intention of letting Ye Xuan in at all, even if Ye Xuan stood sincerely in front of the Fumo Temple, there was no movement at all in the Fumo Temple.
Ye Xuan is not in a hurry, this stop will last for three full days.
For three days, Ye Xuan remained motionless, his face full of respect.
Just when the fourth day was approaching, the gate of Fumo Temple opened with a bang.
Seeing the door open, Ye Xuanfang slowly raised his head, and entered the Fumo Temple calmly.
Just after entering the Fumo Temple, Ye Xuan saw a young boy who was only at the Fifth Profound rank. After seeing Ye Xuan, he hurriedly said respectfully: "I have seen Senior Ye, and now the ancestor is in the bamboo forest behind. In the middle, I also invite Senior Ye to come with this junior."
"Then I'll trouble fellow daoists." Ye Xuan cupped his hands and said.
"Senior, you are welcome, please follow the junior." The boy chuckled on his tender face, and led Ye Xuan to the bamboo forest behind.
After leading the bamboo grove, the boy said: "Senior Ye, we are here now. The old ancestor is watching the bamboo in the bamboo grove to enlighten the Tao, and he asked the senior to go in by himself!"
"Well, please trouble fellow daoist." Ye Xuan said lightly.
The boy resigned on his own, and Ye Xuan took a look at the bamboo forest before entering the bamboo forest.
After entering the bamboo forest, Ye Xuan felt the difference in the bamboo forest, and couldn't help being surprised. From the outside, the bamboo forest looks normal, but when he enters the bamboo forest, the bamboos in the bamboo forest stare at him like sharp swords, making his heart chill.
"Is this bamboo transformed by sword intent?" Ye Xuan was shocked, but immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, this bamboo is a living bamboo, not transformed by sword intent, but why does it feel like a bamboo? It's like a sharp sword, and it also contains an extremely powerful sword intent?!"
Puzzled, Ye Xuan walked towards the center of the bamboo forest.
Soon, he saw Chang Yijian who was looking at a bamboo in the middle of the bamboo forest without blinking.
At this time, Chang Yijian stood with his hands behind his back, looking directly at the bamboo, as if he was realizing something.
Seeing Chang Yijian like this, as if he didn't even notice that he was here, Ye Xuan directly bent over and performed the courtesy of a junior, and didn't say anything more.
Chang Yijian ignored Ye Xuan, stared at the bamboo without turning his eyes away.
This wait is another five days.
Chang Yijian looked at the bamboo for five days, while Ye Xuan waited beside him for five full days.
Five days later, when the cool wind blew, Chang Yijian slowly closed his eyes, opened them immediately, and said, "You're here."
"The junior pays respects to the senior." Ye Xuan said respectfully.
Chang Yijian glanced at Ye Xuan indifferently, without dragging his feet, he said directly: "Do you know the way of sword cultivation, what is the most important thing to do? Now, you have realized the unity of human and sword, how many pairs of sword cultivation Dao has some opinions of his own."
Hearing this, Ye Xuan thought for a moment, and said, "The word for sword originally represents fierceness, but a sharp sword is a small way, and if you want to master the great way of sword cultivation, you must have a calm mind and a state of mind like water. Otherwise, It is difficult to understand the truth of sword intent. This sword intent is actually the intent of a person and also the intent of a sword. The younger generation thinks that if you want to go far on the road of sword cultivation, you must first have a heart like water, no matter how sharp the sword is, you can control it The sword is still human."
"You are right." Chang Yijian smiled rarely, and said, "You have already passed the test. You are so young. I thought you were impetuous, but I didn't want you to wait for three days without moving at all outside Fumo Temple. I have been waiting here for five days, without any impetuous thoughts, no wonder you can comprehend the unity of human and sword, this is not a coincidence!"
Obviously, if Chang Yijian hadn't recognized Ye Xuan a few days ago, then at this time, Chang Yijian had already successfully recognized Ye Xuan.
"Thank you for your compliment, senior." Ye Xuan said, not being modest.
He knew that it was not that simple for Chang Yijian to let him come.
"So, what do you think of this bamboo now?" Chang Yijian pointed at the bamboo in front of him.
Ye Xuan took a deep look at the bamboo, and said: "The junior doesn't understand what the senior means, but this bamboo is like a sword..."
"Indeed, this bamboo is like a sword, but what exactly is this sword?" Chang Yijian made a sudden move, picked off a leaf, then held the bamboo leaf, and swept it slightly. Immediately afterwards, an invisible sword energy swept across quickly, and the hill in front of the bamboo forest was cut flat.
Seeing Chang Yijian's behavior, Ye Xuan was full of contemplation.
"In my eyes, plants and trees are swords."
Chang Yijian said with his hands behind his back: "I have also been confused before, and even now I am confused. Sword intent, sword intent, is this intent my own, or the intent of the sword? Many sword cultivators think that this intent is their own, but But what I don’t know is why the sword intent is called the sword intent, this intent belongs to the sword, not my own, then, the question comes back, since this intent belongs to the sword, what is this sword?”
"this… "
Ye Xuan was stunned when he heard this, and fell into deep thought.
Yes, one sword and one word often wakes up the dreamer.
This sword intent, sword intent, is this intent the sword's, or his own
If there is no sword, can he comprehend the sword intent? In other words, the sword intent he comprehended was the instant killing sword intent, which was passed down by Jiang Yin, so Jiang Yin must have comprehended Dao with the sword in the first place.
However, the sword intent comprehended by everyone is different, but it makes people have an illusion, that is, the most important thing about this sword intent is not the sword. However, since the sword intent is not the most important thing, what is the sword intent doing
Since the important thing is the sword, what is the sword
Bamboo swords, wooden swords, iron swords, heavy swords, soft swords, grass and trees are all swords, so what is a sword
"The junior doesn't understand." Ye Xuan replied truthfully.
"Don't say you don't understand, I don't understand either." Chang Yijian said slowly: "I always feel that this person's sword is united, and there is another level that is difficult for sword cultivators to grasp. It is rumored that there is a level of sword immortals in this world. Realm, without true energy, there is no sword intent, but the sword falls lightly, unstoppable by all spells, and everything is broken. But that is just a rumor, there is no sword fairy in this world. However, the combination of human and sword It’s true that there’s another level of realm above.”
"What did senior spy on?" Ye Xuan asked incomprehensibly.
Chang Yijian said with his hands behind his back: "Think about it, this person's sword is united, and the focus is on a strange one. He can move freely in the field, with thousands of variables, so that the enemy is almost collapsed and he can't catch the sword repairer. This variable is like People, people live a whole life, from son to father, from father to grandpa, from grandpa to grandpa again. From the Five Profound Realms to the Guyuan Realm, from the Guyuan Realm to the Qi Sea Realm, from the Qi Sea Realm to the Holy Palace period, Reached the Condensation Stage, Dilu, Xuhe, Guishen, have they changed?"
"It's changed." Ye Xuan said subconsciously, from son to father to grandfather, if it's not a change, it's what it is.
But at the next moment, Ye Xuan seemed to grasp something, and suddenly felt that his thoughts were too naive.
Chang Yijian sighed, and said: "Has it really changed? People live in this world to pursue perfection, but in the process of this pursuit, who has ever known how many things are lost? In the final analysis, really Has it changed? There are many variables in the combination of human and sword, but only you and I know that this combination of human and sword is weird, but in fact, nothing has changed, but we can blend into the artistic conception."
When Ye Xuan heard this, he seemed to have realized something, but he couldn't grasp it for a while, and it seemed that he was still far away.
"If this person is above the unity of sword and sword, if he can really achieve the highest level of sword cultivation, then I think it should be that he has lost the variable and returned to the original, or he himself is a variable. Who can make sense of this kind of thing. The so-called Life, I think I understand, but in fact, I still don’t understand anything. One year, five years, ten years, what I see when I look back is just how naive I was back then. At least, at this level, I have become more and more confused. Understood." Chang Yijian said heavily, with a helpless sigh in his heart.
After pursuing the higher realm of sword cultivation for so many years, he lost his original way and became half-understandable. Looking back, he found that he didn't understand anything at all.
