I nodded.
Qingyun lowered the bamboo sword in his hand.
I have no doubts about what he said, because the speed with which he drew his sword just now was really too fast. And there was no sign at all, no killing intent, no change in breath, nothing at all. When I realized it, the sword was already on my throat.
But I'm not too scared, because if he wants to kill me, he doesn't need to bring me here.
Qingyun put the sword back into his waist and muttered:
"Destroying the realm of people is ultimately against the law of heaven."
My eyelids trembled slightly, Qingyun glanced at me, and said lightly:
"What? Think I'm as easy to fool as they are? They can't see the tricks you do, but I can see them. What a blessing in disguise, breaking through to the sixth level, his cultivation level will stop there at most. What's more serious is , within five years, he will inevitably suffer the backlash of heaven, his realm will drop, and he will end up as a useless person. This is your idea."
Qingyun picked up the half cup of tea that was already cold on the wooden table and drank it.
Seeing this, I hurriedly poured tea for the boss, and at the same time poured myself a cup.
I thought it would be the kind of top-quality tea as a tribute, but I didn't expect it to be extremely bitter. It feels like the leaves have been dried and soaked.
"Don't drink if you're not used to it."
I put down my teacup.
Qingyun said:
"You stimulated his acupoints with external force, paralyzing his body's original control function. And because he was provoked by you, he didn't care about the consequences when he drew his sword. When the sword air flowed through his whole body, it directly opened his tendons. Two things combined Together, let him break through forcibly. It’s fine if he goes from the fourth level to the fifth level. The fifth level to the sixth level should have gone through the test of [Questioning Heart Tribulation]. It came up, but [Questioning Heart Tribulation] did not activate at all. During this process, you regarded yourself as the way of heaven, and you forcibly judged that he was qualified to be promoted to the sixth level. But what should he do if he was promoted to the seventh level? He has not been recognized by the Dao of Heaven at all, unless you forcefully help him climb the seventh level, otherwise he is doomed to be unable to climb that higher mountain in his life."
I kept silent, which was the default.
There was a mocking smile on the corner of Qingyun's mouth, and said:
"The realm is inherently mysterious. No one can make a conclusion about who can break through and who can't. After a few years, if he can't go to the seventh level, other people will only suspect that he is not capable enough, and no one will take this blame. On your head. When his level starts to drop and someone sees the problem, you are already sure to deal with the Qiming Territory's revenge. Before the game, you kept prodding him with words, telling him to give up the quick battle and instead If you fight a protracted war with you, you will have plenty of time to complete your plan. You are so scheming that you are not like a seventeen-year-old boy, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are cunning and cunning."
"Wherever you are, you are..."
I humbly gave up the title, but Qingyun seemed to ignore it completely, glanced towards the door, and asked:
"The maid outside the door, you taught the way of swordsman?"
I readily admit it.
Qingyun put one hand on the table, and said in a displeased voice:
"You are full of blood, as if you crawled out of a pile of corpses. But you don't seem to have killed anyone. Where did you learn this way of swordsmanship? It's harmful to nature, so it's best not to practice it."
I said:
"Learning the sword is not for killing people, is it for saving people? Even if it is for saving people, the essence is to stop killing by killing. The sword is a weapon. To practice swords, you must be prepared to kill and be killed. .I can’t agree with what the gentleman said.”
Qingyun replied:
"That's right. People who learn swords can't be full of killing and being killed, and they can't be stuck in this small world, and they can't be blinded by blood mist. Some people learn swords for personal revenge, and some people learn swords for the purpose of revenge." In order to rule the world, some people learn swords to protect their sweethearts. Among them, it is not as simple as killing and being killed. People who can only kill will eventually be swallowed by the word "kill" and become evil ghosts."
I asked:
"That's right. But what if this person regards killing as Zen and walks the way of Asura?"
Qingyun's face changed, he stared at me like lightning, and said coldly:
"Take killing as Zen? No wonder she can't hold back the blood pressure all over her body. Is this how Zen swords are practiced? Practicing Zen is to comprehend the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, and to learn the righteousness of the world. Taking killing as Zen is not to regard killing as a The only goal in life? One day she will not be tolerated by the law of heaven, and you can protect her by then?"
I said calmly:
"Sir, the way of the sword is very strong, so naturally you don't have to be afraid of anything. But Alaiya came from a humble background, and wandered in front of the gate of hell several times. After following me, she saw a lot of human feelings and worldly conditions. In her eyes, if you want to survive, you must Stepping on other people's corpses to advance. Mister has his own way of swordsmanship, and Alayah also has his own way of swordsmanship, each going his own way, I don't think it is a mistake."
Qingyun's face softened, he held the teacup and said:
"But after all, young people should do more good deeds and do less evil."
I smiled and said:
"I've done a good deed by keeping Noren alive."
Qingyun also smiled and said:
"A good deed? It's all due to profit. Now you can't beat Lord Qiming, so you use this kind of inconspicuous method to get revenge. If you really stand at the top of the world, you won't care about his life, you will take it lightly." kill him."
I shook my head:
"If I really stood at the top of the world, no one would dare to mess with me, and I wouldn't be interested in killing anyone. I just want to live a peaceful life, as long as you don't bother me, I don't bother to care about so many things .”
Qingyun looked into my eyes and asked:
"Is this true?"
I nodded.
My intuition told me that if he thought I was lying, the next moment the bamboo sword would be driven into my throat.
He would kill me without hesitation.
Because in his eyes, I am something that cannot be grasped, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a monster.
But I didn't lie to him.
Finally, Qingyun took a sip of tea, raised his chin towards the door, and said to me:
"Let her in, I'll be her half master."
After finishing speaking, Qingyun sighed and added:
"Young people are full of vigor, they fight for many things, and they are unwilling to let go of many things. Don't waste your life because you took the wrong path. When you want to look back, you realize that you have fallen deeper and deeper..."
I asked Alaiya to come in and asked her to salute Qingyun as a disciple.
It is reasonable to kneel down, but halfway through kneeling, I helped him up. People say that they want to be half masters. Of course, the etiquette on our side is to do half, otherwise we will suffer a lot.
Qingyun didn't mind either, and took out two folded papers from his bosom, which had already turned yellow. He held two fingers, handed it to Alayah's hand, and said:
"Since I started practicing swords, I only know three swords. Among these three swords, there are only two swords that I can teach you, so I can only be your half-master. Of these two swords, one is called [Kaishan], and the other is called "Kaishan". [Broken Sea], it’s all written here. Lide is quite accurate in seeing people. You are not the most talented in the way of swords, but you must be the furthest. I entrust you with these two swords, and you can’t learn them. Learning is your job, and how much you learn is up to you. You don’t have to declare to the outside world that you are my disciple, and don’t say that I taught you the way of swordsmanship... that’s all.”
