Jian Wen thought to himself that he really didn't understand what he had done wrong. In terms of function and intention, no one in the Burial Sword Pavilion could compare with him. He was immersed in the world of swordsmanship and could reach a state where he could forget both things and himself and not be disturbed by the world.
As for the study of swordsmanship, he is far superior to all the sword cultivators in Nebula Continent. He has achieved the best he can, but now Li Hanxue suddenly tells him that he has gone astray. Jian Wenxin really can't understand what happened.
problem.
Li Hanxue said: "Wen Xin, you have always been pursuing the ultimate in swordsmanship, and there is nothing wrong with that. Your assumption is that as long as you implement the ultimate in swordsmanship, you can lead to the ultimate in Tao, step into the realm of half-emperor, and even become an emperor.
"
"Isn't that true?" Jian Wenxin asked in surprise.
Li Hanxue said: "So the problem lies here."
Jian Wen said in his heart: "I heard that when my ancestor was buried in the sword pavilion when the Heavenly Emperor was buried, he entered Taoism with a sword. Not only did he eventually become an emperor, but he also entered the realm of the Heavenly Emperor in one fell swoop and became a rare living Heavenly Emperor in the history of Nebula Continent. I was there at the time.
I thought that since my ancestors could enter the Tao with the sword and become a strong man in the realm of the Emperor of Heaven, it meant that this path was feasible. I have been following the footsteps of my ancestors, hoping to understand the swordsmanship of my ancestors and finally become a
A powerful emperor like our ancestors."
Li Hanxue said: "Ask your heart, there is nothing wrong with pursuing the way of your ancestors, but you need to understand one thing. First of all, you are not the Burying Emperor..."
Jian Wenxin quickly said: "I know that I am not an ancestor, and I am not arrogant enough to think that I can compete with my ancestors. But I think that if I can implement my beliefs and perfect my swordsmanship, I will finally reach the ultimate state.
, it’s definitely not much worse than our ancestors.”
Li Hanxue said: "The Buried Emperor has an innate sword body, and his body is in harmony with the sword. He was born for the sword. His understanding of the sword is higher than anyone else. This is something that no sword cultivator in your Burial Pavilion can compare with."
. If you insist on implementing your own way of swordsmanship, then from the very beginning, there will be a gap between the two of you."
"Innate Sword Body..." Jian Wenxin heard the secret of the Buried Emperor for the first time.
"If you also have an innate sword body, you can take the path of burying the Emperor of Heaven, but you are not born with such conditions. If you still insist on taking the path of burying the Emperor of Heaven, you will get twice the result with half the effort at best, or a complete failure at worst." Li Hanxue said.
Jian Wenxin was a little unconvinced: "Uncle Li, do you mean that if you don't have enough talent, you are destined to fail?"
Li Hanxue said: "You still don't understand what I mean. After all, there are only a few people with powerful talents in this world, and people like the Buried Emperor with innate sword bodies are even rarer. If we don't have these conditions, we shouldn't force ourselves.
Go ahead and take a path that is not suitable for you."
"Then those of us who don't have such a powerful talent can't enter the Tao with the sword, and will we be unable to prove the Tao with the sword for the rest of our lives?" Jian Wen felt unwilling.
Li Hanxue said: "If you lack talent, you have to find ways to make up for it."
"What method should be used to make up for it?" Jian Wenxin asked. The first thing he thought of was to let his spiritual realm enter that ultimate state and complete the transformation of his life form through the transformation of his own state of mind.
But Jian Wenxin's idea was immediately fully rejected by Li Hanxue.
Li Hanxue said: "There are many methods, but the first thing is not to practice hard."
Jian Wenxin said in surprise: "
Besides practicing, what other methods are there?"
Li Hanxue said: "When a road is really impassable, you can try to go around it. If there is a person with an innate sword body in Nebula Continent, you have to try to obtain his physique. If there is something in this world that you don't know To become an emperor, you should also learn to understand and try this unimagined path. Since the way of the sword cannot make you step into the realm of half-emperor, you must try other ways to achieve the same goal. Maybe the sword can't help you achieve the same goal. To enable you to enter the Tao, other methods will allow you to successfully enter the realm of the Emperor."
Jian Wenxin was silent after listening to Li Hanxue's words. Although Li Hanxue was a strong man in the ancient emperor realm, Jian Wenxin could not agree with Li Hanxue's words at all. If these words did not come from Li Hanxue's mouth, Jian Wenxin would even refute them as evil ways.
"Why would Uncle Li say such things?" Jian Wenxin felt a little disappointed.
"Uncle Li, if the person with the innate sword body was your friend, would you still choose to rob his body?" Jian Wenxin asked.
Li Hanxue did not answer Jian Wenxin's question, but instead asked with a smile: "What if it were you?"
"Of course not!" Jian Wenxin said decisively.
Li Hanxue asked again: "If one day you have to plunder this person's innate sword body to enter the realm of the emperor, and only in this way can you save the Sword Burial Pavilion from fire and water, what will you choose to do?"
Jian Wenxin was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "It depends on the situation. If the moment of life and death really comes, then we can only sacrifice him. I can't let the Sword Burial Pavilion be destroyed in my hands. "
Li Hanxue showed a meaningful smile and asked: "But what if the person with the innate sword body is your mother? And once your mother's innate sword body is taken away, she will die immediately. What will you choose? ?”
When Jian Wenxin heard this, he immediately frowned: "It's impossible for such a thing to happen."
"I mean, if you are really asked to choose between the lives of tens of thousands of people in Burial Sword Pavilion and the life of Qingluo, what would you choose?" Li Hanxue looked directly at Jian Wenxin, just like he did at Tongtian Plateau. The clone of the Slayer King questioned Li Hanxue, it seemed that no matter what choice he made, it would be wrong.
Jian Wen was silent. For him, Qing Luo's life was definitely better than anything else, but he could not openly give up the entire Burial Sword Pavilion. His self-esteem and the justice in his heart did not allow him to say or do this.
"Wen Xin, you haven't answered my question yet." Li Hanxue said.
Jian Wen thought: "Uncle Li, I don't want to answer this question."
Li Hanxue said: "I don't mean to make things difficult for you by asking you this, I just want you to know something. The higher the realm, the more you need to understand the way of balance. There is nothing wrong with being extremely sharp like a sword, and it is either black or white, but the extreme The sharpness of swords can easily hurt others and yourself. Just like the question I asked you just now, if you choose your way of sword, it is an unsolvable problem. Because in your heart, the edge of a sword will always be It can only be pointed in one direction. The point of the sword is destruction, and the direction of the hilt is protection. So your sword will definitely kill either Qingluo or Burial Sword Pavilion. But what Uncle Li wants to tell you today is , you don’t have to kill one of them, you can choose to protect everyone.”
"But what Uncle Li just said, if you don't plunder the innate sword body and the burial sword pavilion will perish, if you plunder the innate sword body, my mother will die.
This is the main premise." Jian Wen thought.
Li Hanxue said: "So you should try to find more powerful forces at this time to help you solve the predicament at hand. Those powerful ancient emperors and heavenly emperors should be the objects of your consideration. In your world, the balance has been completely broken.
You are no longer able to maintain this balance, so you must use external forces to restore this balance."
Jian Wen was silent, this was not the answer he wanted at all.
Li Hanxue smiled and said: "Asking my heart, do you think my answer is a bit ridiculous?"
Jian Wenxin said frankly: "I think if we were really faced with that kind of black and white choice, even Uncle Li wouldn't be able to maintain a balance, right?"
Li Hanxue said: "Actually, when I was just a sage, someone asked me a similar question. At that time, he asked me to choose between the lives of millions of people and the life of my lover."
"What was Uncle Li's answer?" Jian Wenxin was very curious.
Li Hanxue smiled and said, "What do you think?"
"I think you should choose your own lover."
"Yes." Li Hanxue smiled and said, "Qing Xin, what if it were you?"
Jian Wenxin fell silent again.
Li Hanxue said: "But then he asked me another question. If I had to choose between the lives of my father and my lover, who would I choose?"
"Who to choose?" Jian Wen asked in his heart.
Li Hanxue said: "This time I didn't answer, just like you just now."
Jian Wenxin was shocked. He couldn't say it just because of morality, but he had the answer in his heart. For the lives of millions of people and his lover, Jian Wenxin would definitely choose the latter.
"What happened next?" Jian Wen asked in his mind.
Li Hanxue said: "I still didn't give the answer later, but the lonely old man gave the answer for me."
"What's the answer?"
"Choose your own lover."
"It seems that this lonely old man doesn't have much affection for his father."
"No, that's not the reason. He said that Xiaoya's weight in my heart is higher than that of my father, so he advised me to follow my heart and act according to my truest thoughts. Only in this way can I understand his suicide.
Tao, this is his Tao." Li Hanxue said.
Jian Wenxin was thoughtful.
Li Hanxue continued: "Actually, there is no answer to this question. Everyone has his own answer in his heart. Although the answer I tell you sounds like a rogue, it is actually one of them, and in my opinion, it is also
The answer that suits you best. You don't have to be too rigid about the sword in your heart. If you don't have a sword, you can't follow the Tao. Try to change the black and white sword in your heart, try to accept things other than kendo, and try to balance the kendo.
Isn't it more challenging for you to conflict with other Taoisms? Isn't this the pursuit of a sharper sword? It's just that the edge of this sword is hidden and not visible."
Jian Wen's sea of consciousness roared like thunder, rolling incessantly. Li Hanxue's words had a great impact on him. Li Hanxue's words were like a giant sword that severely impacted his soul, making him feel that little bit of hidden pride in his heart.
Defeat them all with nothing left to hide!
Jian Wen said in his heart: "Uncle Li, I understand. It turns out that all this is because of my ignorant and ridiculous conceitedness. It seems that I am bravely advancing and selflessly pursuing the ultimate sword, but in fact I am just escaping from more choices and
