Chapter 16 If I hold a sword, I will cut the heaven and earth from the top, and cut the people from the bottom
On the stone wall in front of the woman in plain clothes, there are only a few shallow sword marks. There is no amazing sword intention or power in them. They look ordinary and unremarkable.
In the forbidden area, there are such ordinary sword marks. It looks like it was left by someone casually, and it was an ordinary person who did not know the way of swordsmanship.
The woman in plain clothes looked at Mo Que for a few times and said with a smile: "There are many profound sword intentions here, all left by the most powerful seniors in our sword tower. Each sword intention is enough to become a strong swordsman. I don't know how my junior brother can cultivate it."
Which one is it?"
"I'm ashamed to say that I'm new to the way of swordsmanship, and I haven't decided what kind of swordsmanship I want to practice for a while." Mo Que scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
"New to Kendo?" The woman in plain clothes couldn't help but be surprised.
How can someone who is new to the art of swordsmanship come to this forbidden place without being affected by the sword intent on the cliff?
Moreover, when most people see so many profound sword intentions, they usually impatiently choose one and begin to comprehend it, but Mo Que is not in a hurry at all. This level of concentration is already incomparable to others.
While looking at Mo Que, the woman in plain clothes also found that Mo Que had no vitality.
This made her even more curious about Mo Que.
"We are both sword cultivators. If you have any questions, please come and ask me." The woman in plain clothes smiled. She suddenly wanted to know how far such a person would go in the way of swordsmanship.
"Thank you, Senior Sister!" Mo Que was overjoyed. He took the initiative to talk to this girl. In fact, he had this purpose in mind from the beginning.
After all, although the voice in his head is knowledgeable, he has an eccentric temperament and is easily reluctant to give advice. It would be great for him if someone could show him the way.
"May I ask Senior Sister, what is the heart of the sword?" Mo Que did not miss this opportunity and immediately asked this woman for advice.
"The heart of the sword is the foundation of the sword, just like the heart of the Tao." The woman in plain clothes smiled and said, "Junior brother, what do you think of sword masters?"
Mo Que pondered for a moment and said: "The sword is in the hand, and it moves with the hand, and the hand is controlled by the heart, so the sword is controlled by the heart, not the hand."
The woman in plain clothes nodded, the admiration in her eyes was not concealed, and said: "No wonder you are here when you are new to swordsmanship. Your understanding alone is better than countless swordsmen."
"Senior Sister, please give me some advice!" Mo Que didn't feel proud. After all, he was once the top genius in the land of Baizhou. Without such understanding, how could he be worthy of the title in the past?
"Actually, you don't need my guidance, you already understand it yourself." The woman in plain clothes smiled and said: "The sword is in the hand, and it can be moved with the hand, and the hand is controlled by the heart. People who practice swords only need to remember eight words: Where the heart is.
Toward, where the sword points!"
"Where the heart goes, where the sword points..." Mo Que savored these eight words carefully, thoughtfully.
The woman in plain clothes smiled and said nothing, letting Mo Que realize it on his own.
Although Mo Que had a vague feeling that he had caught something, he was still missing the mark.
He didn't know that it was this thin line that would determine whether a swordsman would be mediocre or extraordinary.
However, he was not impatient and could not comprehend it for a moment, so he first observed the sword intention on the cliff. He only felt the sword intention, but did not decide to comprehend it.
A long time passed like this, and Mo Que looked at the sword marks on the cliff one by one. The swords had different meanings, some were cold and sharp, or some were powerful and powerful, there were many types.
After seeing many powerful sword intentions, Mo Que felt that he was getting closer and closer to that vague thing.
"Where my heart is headed, where my sword is pointing... what matters is not the sword in my hand, but where my heart is headed!"
All of a sudden, I had an enlightenment.
No matter how many or strong the sword intent here is, it has nothing to do with him, because he only wants one kind, and that kind of sword intent does not matter whether it is strong or weak. The most important thing is that it must match his true intention.
If the sword intention you practice is not in harmony with your own heart, no matter how strong the sword intention is, you will still be a sword wielder. Only by practicing the way of swordsmanship that is consistent with your own heart can you be a sword wielder.
If you just pursue the powerful sword intent and ignore your own true intention, then you are putting the cart before the horse.
"Junior brother's talent in swordsmanship is amazing!"
When the woman in plain clothes saw Mo Que's gaze, she knew that he had understood, and said with a smile: "Junior brother, if you want to understand your true intention, you might as well think about it, why do you practice the sword? Why do you hold the sword? Why does the sword in your hand move? You
Is the sword meant to kill a powerful enemy, or is it all the injustices in this world?"
Mo Que knew that this woman was deliberately guiding him to understand the heart of his sword.
Why do you practice swordsmanship? Why does the sword in your hand move?
He thought of all the things in the past. Three years ago, he looked proudly at Baizhou, like the blazing sun in the sky, but in the end his body was destroyed. His Dantian was shattered, his meridians were cut off, and all his orifices were destroyed.
In his mother's family, the Ye family, he was looked down upon and treated as a useless person. The Ye family, regardless of their blood, killed him with a stick just for a dog.
All kinds of hardships and injustices are all because he is not strong enough!
If he were strong enough, none of this would happen!
"If I hold a sword, I can cut through mountains and rivers thousands of miles away!"
"If I hold a sword, I will be able to cut down the sun, moon and stars!"
"If I hold a sword, I will be able to tower over the heavens and be invincible in all realms. I can cut down the injustice of heaven and earth, and cut down the chaos of the people below!"
His sword heart became clearer and clearer. It was precisely because he was not strong enough that his body was destroyed three years ago.
It is precisely because he is not strong enough that the Ye family treats him like grass.
If all this is God's will, then he will kill the injustice of heaven and earth with his sword!
If all this is just man-made, then he will kill all the troublemakers!
"Boom!"
At this moment, in Mo Que's eyes, the countless sword intentions on the sword cliff suddenly receded like a tide in his eyes, as if they were frightened away by his domineering sword intention.
Thousands of sword intentions faded away and could no longer appear before his eyes to shake his heart.
Only a sword mark is still in front of me.
In Mo Que's eyes at this time, this sword mark shone with golden light, like a scorching sun above the nine heavens, overlooking the heaven and earth, and looking down upon the common people!
"Is this the sword intention suitable for me to practice?" Mo Que knew that he clearly understood the sword intention and finally found his own swordsmanship among the many sword intentions.
The woman in plain clothes looked at him, with light flashing in her eyes.
A person who has just entered the swordsmanship, but can calmly enter the forbidden area.
A person with no vitality but an invincible sword heart!
"He clearly understands the sword's heart, and what he sees is this sword. Could it be that he really has such courage and dares to cut the world with his sword?" The woman in plain clothes was uneasy.
How many living beings in heaven and earth dare to go against heaven? Let alone challenge God and slay heaven and earth with swords!
It is easy to say this, but people who truly have such courage from their hearts do not exist!
She looked at Mo Que sitting down in front of the sword mark, her eyes filled with brilliance, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"Use a sword to evolve the laws of heaven and earth?"
At this moment, Mo Que had devoted himself wholeheartedly to the sword mark in front of him.
Although it was just a sword mark, in his eyes at this moment, it was ever-changing and unpredictable.
This sword mark, following the scorching sun above the nine heavens as its trajectory, evolved the way of the sun.
This is consistent with Mo Que's sword heart. The blazing sun in the sky dominates the heaven and the earth, arrogant to all living beings. It is the only one in the world, towering over all things and unsurpassed.
The way of the sun is mysterious and unpredictable. The sun sets and the moon rises, dividing day and night, and evolving yin and yang.
