Chapter 198: One person

"If the stone is thrown out vertically, the force will naturally fall directly into the water from top to bottom vertically. If it is exerted horizontally, it will become a water drift." The man smiled and said, "Under this rule, if you exert force vertically, you will not be able to exert water drift no matter what. Similarly, if you exert horizontally, the stone will not fall directly into the water with a pounce... This difference between vertical and horizontal is the 'necessity' of the law!"

The man stood in front of the stone railing, and said with his back to Nishihira Kojiro, who stood behind him, lowered his head to ponder, and didn't know what he was thinking about.

After a while, he bent down and picked up a stone from the ground, threw it into the water, staring blankly at the stone passing a simple parabola in the air, and finally fell straight into the water - such a simple scene fell into Kojiro Nishihei's eyes, and a trace of splendor flashed in his eyes!

The man turned around and captured Nishihei Kojiro's eyes. He smiled slightly and patted his shoulder again: "It seems that you have a good understanding."

At this moment, Kojiro Nishihei felt a sense of mystery, but he felt a sense of unreasonable awe at the man in front of him. He couldn't help but frown and said, "This principle is simple to say, but if you think about it carefully, it's not easy to comprehend so many rules in this world?"

...

"It's simple to say..." Chen Xiao looked at the fallen leaf carefully, thought for a while, and frowned, "But there are so many changes in the rules, thousands of them, how can you understand them all thoroughly? I'm afraid even a computer cannot calculate so many changes in an instant."

Chen Xiao suddenly stood up and walked back and forth in the yard for a few steps. He turned around and asked, "Last night we tried the sword, I attacked and defended you. I used nine different body techniques in total, but you could calculate all my directions in an instant. This is the mastery of the rules, right?"

Tang Xin nodded with a smile.

"But the nine different steps I use have different changes, but how do you master it?"

"I have achieved some success in practicing the Heart Sword Art. But it is not easy to explain." Tang Xin shook his head: "You are just getting started now, and you are thinking about reaching that level. I'm afraid your mind will be too impetuous."

Chen Xiao thought to myself, would I want to follow Tang Xin and lock myself in a small courtyard and sit for a year? He knew his personality very well, which was probably impossible.

"Let's start with a simple one." Tang Xin sighed: "I said, how much you can understand depends on your talent. How talent is. This is something that cannot be forced."

She stood up and looked at Chen Xiao: "Let's demonstrate, you attack and defend, and move slowly. I'll explain it to you little by little."

Seeing Tang Xin standing there, Chen Xiao smiled slightly. He walked towards her casually. He had just taken three steps, and Tang Xin had already said, "Stop."

Tang Xin looked at Chen Xiao and said slowly: "You have taken three steps, so I will use the simplest rules first. Let's analyze your three steps."

She pointed to her face: "First, if you walk in front of me, according to the three steps you have taken, you need to take a total of six steps before you can come to me."

Chen Xiao glanced at the remaining distance between the two and nodded: "Yes, this is based on the length of the distance between you and me, and the size of my pace. It is easy to calculate. But... if I take a step bigger or smaller behind, wouldn't it be different?"

"No." Tang Xin smiled slightly: "When you step, your body's posture is slightly forward, but you have not exerted force, and your body is not tense, so your pace will not change significantly. Also, when you move, your shoulders sway slightly, you can judge the direction of your movement. Your breathing is also a rule judgment. Your breathing is stable, and if you want to change your movements, for example, if you exert force suddenly, you must take a deep breath first. Even if you hide carefully, you step out and your footsteps trampled on the ground, and the sound you make is also a criterion for judgment. Although the difference in sound is subtle, even if it is a little lighter or heavier, if you listen carefully, you can still hear the difference."

Chen Xiao widened his eyes: "It's that simple?"

Tang Xin glanced at Chen Xiao: "Of course it's not that simple. The few I've said are just the most simple and introductory principles. If you can't even understand these few, then I'd already turned around and left."

Chen Xiao became more interested in his heart, and he couldn't help but say, "Then... why can you calculate it when I used instant movement last night? I had no steps or shaking my body. How did you judge it?"

"Murderous aura, momentum, sensing..." Tang Xin smiled bitterly, and his tone was a little helpless: "You are not at the level now, and I don't understand if I say it."

Chen Xiao thought hard and suddenly remembered the "Sea God".

The Sea God has a superpower that controls gravity, and it also controls it accurately and freely. In this way, in the anti-gravity environment, isn’t it a violation of the “laws”? In that case, will the heart sword technique, which uses calculation rules as the fundamental one, have no use?

He thought so in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "What if the rules don't exist?"

"It is impossible not to exist." Tang Xin said lightly: "The rules will always exist."

Chen Xiao touched his nose: "For example, the fallen leaf I just saw just now will fall to the ground because of gravity. But if gravity no longer exists, won't you be able to calculate it?"

"It's also very simple." Tang Xin smiled slightly: "If gravity no longer exists, it is going up, not down. If gravity just decreases, then its speed will slow down. If gravity becomes stronger, it will slow down faster! Whether it is going up, slower, or faster - these are still regular!"

Tang Xin continued to smile and said, "I understand what you mean, but the situation you said is not that the rules no longer exist, but that they are just 'change'. They just replace the original rules with a new rule. But even so, the new rules are also rules! Gravity disappears. Naturally, there are rules after gravity disappears. When gravity becomes stronger, there are rules when gravity becomes stronger."

Chen Xiao suddenly realized it and nodded intently: "I understand!"

He felt aware of something in his heart and smiled happily: "Even if the flowing water is reversed and flows from low to high, it is just a new rule. If the rules are changed, there are still rules. As long as there are rules, then the Heart Sword Technique can be calculated!"

Then he hugged his head and smiled bitterly: "But that state is probably too difficult..."

"I'm afraid that I haven't reached that level." Tang Xin also sighed quietly: "When the rules change instantly, you can also master new rules in an instant... Such a realm is the 'Great Perfect' realm of Heart Sword Art! When you reach that level, you are almost like a god."

Great Perfection?

Chen Xiao felt a little funny. This Japanese always liked to take some seemingly profound names.

To put it bluntly, the technique of heart swordsmanship is to understand the rules, master the rules, and use the rules.

It’s just that it’s easy to do it, and Tang Xin’s ability to practice to this level has been considered the best in thousands of years. But her body is weak, but it’s God’s will.

But then Chen Xiao thought again: Perhaps it was because she was weak and could not truly practice martial arts that she focused all her attention on practicing this kind of mental skills.

If Tang Xin is healthy, he still has to devote his energy to practicing sword skills. After all, a person's energy and wisdom are limited, and his mind is divided. If his energy is dissipated, it is impossible to practice this sword skills to this level.

This is also due to the "rules"!

...

"Actually, I don't understand the heart sword technique of the Shangchen family. It's just that this heart sword technique is just a comprehending the origin of power. The so-called change is inseparable from the sect, and the highest level of martial arts is the same. I can guide you. That's all." The man looked at Kojiro Nishigata.

Nishipei Kojiro looked a little dazed, thinking hard in his heart about the changes in the power rules, and then nodded suddenly: "I understand! Since the truth is the same, then the Shangchen family can develop a set of "heart sword technique" based on this principle. As long as others understand this principle, they can naturally create "heart sword technique" and heart spear technique... No matter how the name changes, how the mind technique changes, the final principle is the same! The Shangchen family can think of it. Can't I think of it!"

The man smiled with satisfaction on his face: "You are not bad, and you have some understanding. The Shangchen family is actually just like this. Although I have never learned their heart sword skills, I also have a little understanding of their heart sword skills. At least, people with talent like Takeuchi Fumiyama have not learned it. Naoyuki of the Shrine seems to be a little worse than Takeuchi Fumiyama. If a martial arts is so advanced that it cannot be learned, then something must be wrong. So you don't have to look too high at the Shangchen family."

Looking at the expression of gratitude on Nishihira Kojiro's face, the man's face suddenly became cold and said lightly: "I actually don't have much affection for you Japanese. But today I saw you and was moved by the true nature of a warrior in you. Now, it is difficult to see a person who adheres to the true nature of a warrior. Then I became interested and gave you some advice. You don't need to thank me."

A grateful word from Kojiro Nishihei was blocked by the other party, but he just looked at the other party with complicated eyes - this person was clearly a Chinese, and today he had sneaked into the Izumi Palace to spy on. He remembered that he was in the Izumi Palace today, and the young Chinese man who defeated him was using a rattan...

Thinking of this, Nishihei Kojiro's expression changed drastically, staring at the other person with a shocking expression.

Then he knelt on the ground with a pounce, respectfully obeying the ground: "Nihei Kojiro, please dare to give your name!"

"I said, I didn't teach you anything, I just saw that you were depressed and came over to wake you up, but didn't help you." The man frowned, looked at the sky again, and sighed: "As for my name... Humph, you must have guessed it too, right, my surname is Tian."

When he heard the three words "My surname is Tian", Kojiro Nishihei felt sweat falling down, his heart was full of tears, and he was so frightened that he paused his head and shouted: "If you can get the advice of General Tian, ​​Kojiro Nishihei would never dare to forget the kindness of the Lord for the rest of his life!"

But when he looked up, he found that there was no one in front of him. General Tian, ​​who had left unknown when he had left.

...

Lao Tian left the riverside and walked out of a small path. Looking at the distance, the hill where Izumi Palace is located was in the night... He suddenly smiled strangely: "That Japanese girl from Takeuchi must be fooling people again. I hope that little fool Chen Xiao will not be confused by the beauty of the girl. Alas, young man, he is just a strong and full of energy. Humph, what kind of heart sword technique is mysterious, but it is just a simple way to divide the origin rules of the power. It's just that although the theory is profound, it can't actually be..."

I remembered the one Xiaojiro Nishihira whom I was giving guidance just now.

A trace of deep meaning appeared on Lao Tian’s face.

Tell a Japanese... If I had been put many years ago, I was afraid that a Japanese would not even look at the other person if I knelt in front of me and begged.

But now...huhhhh.

The old boy Takeuchi Fumiyama has worked hard to manage. In recent years, the Japanese martial arts world has gradually improved under his prestige.

"The Shangchen family is dominant, and it is not a good thing. That Xiaojiro Nishipei has some skills. If he has him in the future, he will always cause trouble for the Shangchen family. This Japanese martial arts world is not a solid piece of the board."

After talking to himself for a few words, Lao Tian suddenly knocked on his forehead and laughed at himself: "The older he is, the more despicable he is, alas..."

Lao Tian walked a few steps towards Quanliu Palace, and stood on the street in front of the official residence of Quanliu Palace, looking at the gate of Quanliu Palace from afar.

His eyes gradually became a little complicated.

When I brought that young girl here in the past, the Quanliu Palace was not as grand as it is today. This gate must have been built later. There is also the scene of the cherry blossom trees covered with the hillside. I took the girl to the mountain path step by step...

With a vine in hand, the swordsmen of the Shangchen family along the way were around him as if they were facing a great enemy and were as anxious as the end of the world.

Thinking about it now, it seems that it was already a matter of the previous life...

In fact, who knew that he swept Japan in the past just doing it casually. The most fundamental reason was that the little girl he was holding in his hand begging him in a cheerful voice:

"Uncle Tian, ​​the cherry blossoms inside are so beautiful. Can you take me in and see if it's good?"

Lao Tian raised his head again and looked at the moon in the sky.
