"What is kendo? In my opinion, kendo is the moves performed with the sword. This is the most basic kendo and the most original kendo. What people call fast and slow, heavy and light are just derivatives of kendo.
, and cannot be used to represent the true way of the sword."
Xiao Zhan smiled slightly and said: "Kendo is a move performed with a sword, so what is a sword? If I ask you to answer, you will definitely say the sword in your hand. I think not only you, but almost everyone will answer like this."
Princess Shengwu asked curiously: "Is this understanding wrong?"
Xiao Zhan smiled and said: "Of course you have a sword in your hand, is there anything wrong with that? However, this sword is not a kendo sword, but an objective sword. The sword that truly belongs to the warrior is not the tangible sword in his hand, but the swordsman himself. No.
There is a saying that I am the sword and the sword is me. Only those who truly understand this can be called swordsmen."
"The sword is me?"
Princess Shengwu was full of doubts.
"Of course I'm not referring to you now, but to the person you become through practicing with the sword."
"Train yourself from the sword!?"
Princess Shengwu's eyes lit up instantly.
"How to practice from the sword?"
"Moves, this is an inseparable component of kendo. You need to understand yourself from it. What it will become in the end depends on you."
Xiao Zhan's words made Princess Shengwu suddenly enlightened. She said excitedly: "Is the test given to me by senior to realize myself?"
Xiao Zhan said calmly: "It is difficult to practice swordsmanship on your own, and it is by no means something that can be achieved overnight. It doesn't matter if you are talented, because this is a training method that tests perseverance and perseverance. If you can't persist, everything will be in vain."
"Then what is the test that senior gave me?"
"Simple, condense your sword dance into a sword. If you can do it, I can consider teaching you the real way of sword."
Condensed into a sword?
Princess Shengwu was surprised, she knew how difficult this step was.
"Smelting Unique, this is the most basic requirement. If you can't even integrate your current swordsmanship into one move, how will you integrate all the world's swords into your sword in the future."
Xiao Zhan's words were very calm, but to Princess Shengwu, they were like thunder, shaking her heart.
How arrogant and domineering it is to integrate all the swords in the world into one sword.
Princess Shengwu took a deep breath and saluted solemnly: "Senior, don't worry, Shengwu will definitely merge her sword into one."
This step must be difficult, but Princess Shengwu resolutely chooses to do it. Pursuing the true way of swordsmanship is her desire. Now that she has seen the direction, she will definitely go forward without hesitation, and nothing can stop her.
"I will go back to King Mu's fiefdom and see you there if I have the chance. I hope to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Xiao Zhan smiled slightly.
Princess Shengwu's heart condensed, and she said randomly: "Senior, don't worry, Shengwu will definitely go."
"I hope so."
Princess Shengwu's eyes were very firm. She knew how difficult it was for Rong Liancheng to make a move. This was by no means a random move, but she needed to integrate all her sword moves into one move. To do this, she must understand
Understand the sword art contained in each move. This step is difficult. Princess Shengwu felt the urgency, so she planned to leave immediately and go back to retreat.
"Princess!"
Qinzhou looked at Princess Shengwu who was frowning in thought and couldn't help but come up to her.
"His Royal Highness."
A smile appeared on the face of the Holy Dance Princess.
"How's the situation?",
Qinzhou's heart immediately fell intoxicated when he saw the beautiful and moving Princess Shengwu. He really wished he could stay with Her Royal Highness forever for the rest of his life.
Princess Shengwu said solemnly: "Senior is going to give me a chance. I would like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince for your introduction this time."
"A chance?"
Qinzhou was stunned. He originally thought that Xiao Zhan would immediately accept Princess Shengwu as his disciple, but he didn't expect that he would still play the trick of playing hard to get.
"Your Highness, Sheng Wu has something to say. I don't know whether to say it or not."
Princess Shengwu spoke, her eyes were very sharp.
Qinzhou was shocked and said: "Princess, please speak."
Princess Shengwu said solemnly: "Senior gave His Highness the Crown Prince a chance. This is a great opportunity. I hope His Highness the Crown Prince can cherish it."
As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Shengwu said goodbye and left without looking back.
Qinzhou opened his mouth. He wanted to call the princess and ask her why she cared so much about him, but he couldn't say the words, because he knew that Xiao Zhan had indeed given him a chance, but he just couldn't understand. Qinzhou suddenly
He understood that if he could not seize this opportunity, then he and the princess would only become further and further apart.
What is my chance?
Of course Qinzhou wanted to ask Xiao Zhan, but he also knew that doing so would mean giving up this opportunity. Senior masters are like this. If they don't realize it, it means that there is no such opportunity between them.
Qinzhou couldn't understand, so he decided to go back and ask someone.
"Mother, there is something I need to ask you."
Qinzhou found his wise mother as soon as he returned to the palace. He couldn't figure it out, but that didn't mean he couldn't ask others.
"Ask me if you have any questions. When did we two become so different?"
The princess snorted, not satisfied with Qinzhou's words.
Qinzhou said: "Mother, today I met a senior master. He gave me an opportunity, but I don't understand what this opportunity is at all. I'm really ashamed."
The princess raised her eyebrows and said, "I heard that the tea party held by Princess Shengwu was disturbed by someone today. Is the senior you mentioned related to this matter?"
Qinzhou looked at his mother in surprise and said, "Mother and concubine know it."
The princess said angrily, "My son likes Her Royal Highness, so my mother and concubine should naturally care about her. What opportunities did that senior in your mouth give you?"
Qinzhou said with some embarrassment: "This kid is confused. According to the kid's memory, the senior only called him master verbally, so the kid doesn't understand what the opportunity is."
"You will tell me the whole story."
The princess frowned.
Qinzhou immediately told the story of how he met Xiao Zhan. After hearing this, the princess was speechless for a long time before saying: "You are indeed a fool. The sword god has told you the cultivation method. Instead of thinking about how to practice, you went to show your courtesy."
, It’s strange that the Sword God is not disappointed in you, if you were the mother-in-law, she would kick you away, what the hell, it’s such a waste of time.”
Qinzhou was not really stupid. He suddenly realized how stupid he really was. Senior Nan looked at him like he was hopeless and kept emphasizing that the relationship between master and disciple was only verbal. This was telling him that you have never practiced at all.
, how could he be a master and a disciple?
The princess sighed: "If you want to pursue the princess, this is your only chance. If you can really become brothers and sisters, you will be close to nothing."
