Every one of Long Chen's words was completely different from the teachings they had heard before. Although they were a bit deviant, they all contained philosophy and opened up a whole new world for them.
In particular, everything Long Chen talks about is based on his own experience, and he has learned the principles and taught them to others, which has benefited everyone a lot.
Even some of the older elders couldn't help but nod secretly. At such a young age, Long Chen actually found a new way and understood so many truths. This was all related to Long Chen's special experience.
If you think about Long Chen's unique growth process, you can see that Long Chen's achievements today are definitely not accidental. What Long Chen talks about is real information, and there is no perfunctory intention.
Being able to share one's own experience without reservation is a great courage that not many people can achieve.
Therefore, the elders who had some prejudice against Long Chen before now have begun to have subtle changes in their views on Long Chen.
"Long Chen, senior brother, what is Tao." A disciple said.
Hearing this question, Long Chen burst into laughter.
"Senior Brother Long Chen, is the question I asked ridiculous?" The disciple said at a loss.
"No, no, no, the question you asked reminded me of a funny experience." Long Chen waved his hand and smiled.
"What kind of funny experience can you tell us?" The girl who kissed Long Chen before shouted from the crowd.
"Yes, we also want to know. We are full of curiosity about everything about Senior Brother Long Chen." After the girl called out, someone immediately followed her.
Long Chen smiled slightly, hesitated for a moment, and told the story of how he and Mo Nian were in Zuixian Tower in Donghuang, discussing with Zi Yan, Yu Tong and others what is the king's way, what is domineering, and what is the way of the benevolent.
Everyone said it again.
At that time, Zi Yan asked what is Tao, what is the king's way, what is domineering, and what is the way of the benevolent. As soon as Long Chen's explanation came out, countless disciples laughed so hard that they burst into tears.
"What is the royal way?"
"Dishonest people will be crushed directly."
"What is domineering"
“I’ll crush even the honest ones.”
"What is the way of the benevolent?"
"Say hello first, then crush."
The disciples present kept saying these wonderful dialogues and were laughing so hard.
Even the old elders couldn't help but smile, but for the sake of propriety, they were embarrassed to laugh and could only hold it in.
No one could have imagined that the existence that frightened both good and evil and caused headaches to the Dan Valley, the Ancient Clan, and the Xuan Beast Clan could actually have such a funny side.
However, when everyone was laughing, Long Chen did not laugh. Instead, a look of loneliness appeared on his face, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"Senior Brother Long Chen, it is rumored that you and Fairy Zi Yan have a very good... relationship, but why did it come to this point?" A woman said very curiously.
But as soon as she finished speaking, she was glared at by countless pairs of eyes. It was obvious that she didn't understand the occasion when she asked this question.
Long Chen is an unparalleled genius, an invincible hero, glorious for all ages, while Zi Yan is like a banished immortal descending to the earth, with a world-famous appearance and amazing talent. The two have known each other for a long time in the Eastern Wasteland, and later in the Great Xia Imperial Capital, they have known each other for a long time.
After their second encounter, there were rumors that the two had a secret love and would get together.
But at the Dragon Slaying Conference in the Korean Imperial Capital, Long Chen fought against Zi Yan. Although he only defeated Zi Yan in the end and did not kill her, Long Chen said heartless words at that time, which made Zi Yan miserable. Everyone could see it. , the two have real feelings.
Later, Long Chen mercilessly killed Shen Bijun and completely fell out with Miao Le Immortal Palace. The two were in the same situation, and Zi Yan was the future head of Miao Le Immortal Palace. There would never be any outcome between the two. Yes, every time I think of this, I sigh with regret.
Nowadays, Long Chen's face has a look of loneliness, obviously he must have remembered all the past events, and the girl's unobtrusive mention of this matter clearly sprinkled a pinch of salt on Long Chen's wounds.
"Senior Brother Long Chen, I'm sorry, just pretend that I haven't asked." The girl said at a loss, her eyes turning red in desperation.
Long Chen smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter, there is nothing bad to say about this kind of thing. Although Fairy Zi Yan and I are hostile, she is always the person I respect the most.
Even if one day I die in her hands, I will have no regrets. There are always so many helpless things in the world, but I just want to be honest."
Although Long Chen said it lightly, he was filled with endless sadness in his heart. He was not afraid of thousands of armies, and he was not afraid of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, but the mountain of feelings weighed down on him and made him somewhat breathless.
Perhaps it was fate that played a trick on her, but Long Chen felt deeply helpless towards Zi Yan. He never believed in fate, but when Zi Yan believed in her, this was a real pain in the ass.
Long Chen's words made countless people feel sad. At the same time, they could understand that no matter how powerful a person was, Long Chen would still have his dissatisfaction.
"Continuing with the topic just now, what is Tao? Many people will talk about Tao as illusory and miraculous. In fact, they don't know what Tao is at all. They just make it up to show how awesome they are.
Tao, in its simplest understanding, is a principle. All things in the world are closely related and come back again and again. Their existence itself is a kind of principle.
The Tao does not exist alone, but is like the stars in the sky, interconnected and reflecting each other. In order to understand the true face of the world, people cannot explain its mystery in any kind of words, so they call it Tao.
And our martial arts is actually just one road among ten thousand roads, so Tao can also be understood as a road.
The three thousand great roads and one hundred thousand small roads we talk about actually refer to our way of cultivation, not the way of the universe. Compared with the universe, it is just a grain of dust.
Martial arts actually refers to the road leading to the pinnacle of martial arts. Once you reach the top, you can become an immortal or a god.
If practice is compared to a mountain, then everyone's path to practice is the same.
Every road eventually leads to the top of the mountain, so I said that in this world, there are no great roads or small roads, let alone right and wrong.
The important thing is how you choose a path that belongs to you. A broad and straight path is the fastest way to reach the top of martial arts.
However, because it is straight, boring, foggy, and the top of the mountain is not visible, it is easy for people to lose their way in the dullness.
The path is rugged, winding, and full of dangers. It may seem like a long detour, but it can allow people to experience countless setbacks and hone their will.
Whether it is a high road or a small road, if you successfully reach the top, you will become an immortal or a god, but what everyone experiences is different.
After taking a detour, I saw more scenery and experienced more training. After successfully climbing to the top, my state will definitely be higher than those who follow the high road.
After choosing a clear path, you must move forward unswervingly. This kind of determination is called Tao Xin.
The heart of the Tao must never be shaken, otherwise this life will be ruined. If you see others taking the high road and it is smooth, follow the high road.
Seeing that other people's trails are so exciting, you just follow them. If you are constantly hesitating and making choices, you will lose your way. This is a taboo in martial arts.
Okay, that’s it for today’s sermon. I’m a little out of shape right now. We’ll talk about it again when we have the opportunity.”
After Long Chen finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but looking at Long Chen's eyes, they knew that Long Chen's mood was slightly confused. This was because of Fairy Zi Yan. This showed that Long Chen could not do it and completely forget Zi Yan.
Yan.
"Senior Brother Long Chen, why don't you show us your skills." Long Chen walked out of the ring, and Xin Li hurriedly greeted him with an expectant look on his face.
In fact, everyone could see that Long Chen was a little absent-minded. They wanted to deliberately distract Long Chen's attention and make him feel better quickly.
Long Chen's heartfelt and wonderful sermon opened up an unprecedented world to everyone. Everyone was full of gratitude and respect for Long Chen, and did not want to see Long Chen lose.
Fighting is the best way to distract attention. When people are fighting, they will concentrate on it and forget everything else.
But no one here dares to fight Long Chen, so I want Long Chen to show his skills and open everyone's eyes.
"Okay, Xin Li, you are a swordsman, and my brother Zifeng is also a swordsman, so I will show my shame and imitate Zifeng's swordsmanship to encourage you." Long Chen said with a smile.
Hearing that Long Chen wanted to imitate Yue Zifeng's swordsmanship, Xin Li couldn't help but be ecstatic and handed his sword to Long Chen.
This is a pseudo-artifact. It has to be said that the strong men in Zhongzhou are different and their worth is too high.
Long Chen took the sword and held the hilt with his left hand. There was no wind in his body, and a fierce energy rose up, which shocked everyone for a moment.
Long Chen's aura did not fluctuate at all, and it seemed that he did not use his spiritual energy, but the sharp aura rose up, making people's skin tingle, as if there were hundreds of millions of steel needles piercing everyone's face, and everyone couldn't help but step back.
.
"Buzz buzz..."
At that moment, the heaven and earth trembled, the wind and clouds changed color, and the fierce energy made the sky tremble, as if the world would not be able to withstand this terrifying opportunity and would burst into pieces.
"How is this possible? Senior brother Long Chen didn't use his spiritual energy." Someone exclaimed.
"Not only is the spirit yuan not used, the power of heaven is not used, and the soul wave is not used. What kind of power is this?" People were shocked, they could not understand everything in front of them.
"This is... the power of the sword, which can actually suppress the way of heaven." Xin Li swallowed his saliva and said with a look of horror.
"When Zifeng's power of heaven was wiped away by the head of Ling Yunzi, the head once said: The way of sword is independent of the way of heaven, and using the way of heaven to control the way of sword is putting the cart before the horse.
I am not a sword cultivator. I use the power of my spirit to activate the sword intention and merge it with the sword. Although I can imitate Zifeng's eight points of sword intention.
But there is a huge difference in power. When Zi Feng uses his sword intention, the Heavenly Dao cannot resist it. But for me, the Heavenly Dao is obviously repelling me. I need to suppress the Heavenly Dao with the sword, and I have already fallen into the inferior category.
However, the way of heaven has always been my enemy, and I have long been used to it. Please be careful, the real way of swordsmanship is not like yours."
choke!
Suddenly, Long Chen stretched out his big hand and grasped the hilt of the sword. A dragon roar sounded, and the long sword was unsheathed. A brilliant sword light was seen, piercing the sky, shattering the heaven and earth, and slashing down on the ring with one sword.
