Volume Four, The Year of the Curtain, Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Seven: Qingxia On Sword (1)
The carriage stopped in the wilderness before Qingxia Gorge.
This carriage might not have come, but it came anyway.
This sentence has two meanings - the person in the carriage does not need to come, or that person's sword does not need to come, because that person's sword can travel thousands of miles away.
The person in the carriage is Liu Bai.
He is recognized as the most powerful person in the world by the spiritual community, and is revered as the Sword Master. He is truly the most powerful person, and even those otherworldly experts in unknown places may not be his opponents.
Especially when the sword is in his hand, Fan Zhuan, one foot in front of him, is his absolute domain, and even figures of the Zhishou Temple and Senior Brother levels cannot enter.
In the opinion of many people, including the second senior brother, with Liu Bai's peerless talent, as long as he wanted to, he could have passed the threshold of the fifth realm, but he just didn't want to.
Liu Bai's voice came from the carriage.
"Do you want to take a break?"
The second senior brother looked at the carriage hundreds of feet away, tied the rope around his neck with his slender fingers, and said, "I don't know if I can be as confident as I am now after taking a break."
Liu Bai said in the carriage: "If you do this, you won't stop."
The second senior brother said: "If I had fought with you two days ago, I would have been defeated. Thank you, sir, for waiting until now to draw your sword."
Liu Bai said: "I also want to thank you for sparing the lives of the useless disciples of Jiange."
The conversations and exchanges in front of the Qingxia Gorge were calm, gentle and full of goodwill. No matter how you listened, you could not hear the tense atmosphere of tense situations and life-or-death situations.
There was no enmity between the Academy and the Jiange. Even though Liu Yiqing was blinded by Ning Que, it was still a fair duel. With Liu Bai's magnanimity and status, there was no way he would be angry because of it.
This is exactly what the Academy does not understand.
The second senior brother looked at the carriage in the field and asked, "Why are you here, sir?"
The carriage was quiet, and it took a long time for Liu Bai's answer to be heard.
"My master can't do it, so what can I do?"
The second senior brother was silent for a moment and said: "The teacher is right. He is indeed not an omniscient and omnipotent person. He probably wouldn't have thought that after he left, the confidence in the world would be much weaker."
"Besides, I am a guest of the temple after all."
Liu Bai's voice continued to come from the carriage: "The whole world is fighting against the Tang Dynasty. As a Jin person, I always have to show some attitude. It is also my wish to fight against the Academy."
"The only people in the world worthy of my action now are you and Li Manman."
This sentence came from the mouth of Sword Master Liu Bai, which showed great respect for the academy. The second senior brother did not agree, shook his head and said: "If there is an opportunity, I think the third junior sister will definitely want to ask you, sir, for advice."
Listening to these words, Liu Bai fell silent, and the carriage became quiet again.
I don't know how much time passed before his somewhat shocked voice came from the car.
"It turns out that Lin Wu has been in the academy all along."
The second senior brother said: "The third junior sister is no longer called by this name."
He is indeed the most powerful man in the world, Liu Bai. Both his wisdom and thinking are as fast as his sword. He just heard one sentence and deduced that the mysterious twenty-three-year-old cicada was originally in the academy.
There is no doubt that this is the most shocking news in the spiritual world in more than twenty years. Even he couldn't help but feel extremely shocked after hearing this secret.
"It seems that Daomen has underestimated the academy after all."
Liu Bai said: "That idiot Xiong Chumo will definitely fail if he goes to the academy. But I didn't know that that person is actually in the academy. So now that I think about it, his ending must be even worse than I thought."
This sentence also has two meanings.
Liu Bai believes that the twenty-three-year-old cicada is better than the headmaster of the Xiling Temple.
As for himself, he is certainly better than the headmaster of Xiling Temple.
"However, the general trend of the world is vast and mighty, like a mighty river, rushing and never turning back. If you follow it, you will prosper, if you go against it, you will perish. Even if Lin Wu is in the academy, the academy cannot act against the will of heaven."
Liu Bai's voice came out of the carriage again, saying: "Under the master's hands, your senior brother can survive for three more days at most. The Buddha Sect has not taken action yet. Today, Jun Mo, you will fight with me. No matter what the outcome is, you will not be able to
Fight again. The Qingxia gorge opens and the army moves north. The Tang state and the academy will inevitably perish."
The second senior brother said expressionlessly: "Sir, you are not a mediocre person in the world. How could you say such unreasonable and boring words? If everything in the world is already destined, why do you have to come to Qingxia? Why should I come to Qingxia? Why should you and I stand here?"
Before Qingxia, why should Qingxia come to see you and me?"
Liu Bai said: "This is a good word, but in the end we have to judge things with a sword."
The second senior brother asked: "When will it start?"
Liu Bai said: "Your sword is still being repaired. It won't be too late until it is repaired."
At this moment, a muffled sound came from under the iron canopy, the heavy iron hammer collided with the flaming iron sword, and then the hot sword entered the water, making countless hissing sounds, and a white mist rose.
The second senior brother reached out and took the repaired iron sword, which was as good as new, and said, "The sword has been repaired."
"very good."
The green car curtain moved slightly and was lifted by a hand.
The hand was large, with long and strong knuckles, perfect for holding a sword.
Liu Bai walked out of the carriage.
This Lord Sword Master, who is regarded as a god by countless swordsmen, has nothing special about his appearance. His facial features are slightly sunken and his facial lines are carved, but he is just an ordinary middle-aged man.
"Ordinary" is not only a description of him, but also a description of the aura exuding from him. The aura exuding from him is also very ordinary, and it does not look like anything similar to the legend.
Because his spirit and vigor are not in himself, but in the sword.
The sword is by your side and in its scabbard.
"In novels, rumors and unofficial history, we can often see ordinary people's imagination of practitioners, or even the imagination of practitioners, saying that everything is a sword, and a strong man can kill all the heroes in the world by picking a flower or a branch. However, these
Those who only talk about swords are just making people laugh."
Liu Bai looked at the iron sword in the second brother's hand and said: "A sword is a sword, it cannot be a flower, it cannot be a grass, and it cannot be a piece of nothingness held in the hand, because the sword must be hard enough, strong, straight and sharp, so
Only then can you travel beyond the blue sky and fall thousands of miles away. Otherwise, even the wind can't cut through it, and friction can melt the sword body. How can you talk about breaking armor and killing people? When I see a person using a sword, I first look at whether he is using it well.
sword."
"Today I saw two good swords. Ye Su's sword is made of exotic wood. In terms of material alone, it is the best choice, but compared with your iron sword, it still tastes a little inferior. Because
The sword must be made of iron. When an iron sword is stained with blood, it is called iron-blooded, and it will make you feel free to kill people."
Liu Bai looked at the fire under the tent and the honest Sixth Senior Brother, and praised: "The Academy is indeed an amazing place, there are people who can forge such a good sword."
The second senior brother walked towards the wilderness and said, "But swords are for people to use after all."
"Your swordsmanship is also very good."
Liu Bai said: "In fact, I have always wanted to know who is stronger between you and Ye Su over the years. At this time, it seems that you are indeed stronger, your sword is stronger, and your swordsmanship is also stronger."
The second senior brother said: "But you are the strongest."
Liu Bai's expression did not change much, because he had heard such comments many times back then, and no one in the world dared to comment on his sword anymore.
When he was young, he realized the Tao by the river. Since then, his sword energy has spread across the mountains and rivers. No one has ever dared to question his reputation as the best swordsman.
"The way of swordsmanship lies in swords and techniques. I have always attached great importance to heavy swords."
Liu Bai said: "I have been practicing sword training in the cliff cave of Jiange for more than ten years. I finally made a good sword, and then it was borrowed by the Master. Although I regret it, the sword can kill gods and dragons in the hands of the Master, which is also an honor."
.In addition to that sword, I also have many good swords, such as the one tied around my waist now, which is stronger than your iron sword."
"As for swordsmanship, I don't think I have any talent. One foot in front of me is not actually my creation. This sword control method first appeared in the world and came from Mr. Ke."
The second senior brother said: "But it is you who have carried it forward, and it deserves the respect of those who use swords in the world."
In the world of spiritual practice, especially in the history of kendo, Liu Bai is a name that cannot be forgotten, because he was the first great swordsman to elevate melee combat to an absolutely high level.
In the past, swordsmen in the spiritual world have always focused on controlling flying swords. In their view, controlling the vitality of heaven and earth is the strictest distinction between practitioners and ordinary people.
It wasn't until Liu Bai was born and became invincible with a sword within a foot of his body that all swordsmen saw a new possibility in their practice. This change could even be said to be revolutionary.
Because of this, the second senior brother respected him.
Liu Bai said: "In my early years, I had been oscillating between two sword-control techniques. It was not until the battle on the East China Sea Causeway that I realized that this oscillation actually violated the original meaning of the sword."
"At that time, I hurt Yan Se with my sword a thousand miles away. He wrote a talisman against the violent waves outside the embankment. Although we were so far away, the bald pen fell on my face."
Liu Bai touched his eyebrows and smiled slightly to himself.
"After that battle, I finally chose the sword in my hand. The most fundamental difference between these two sword-controlling methods is that whether the practitioner needs to use the vitality of heaven and earth to control the sword, or use the sword to control the vitality of heaven and earth. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
, it’s not obvious, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that this is how the sword should be used.”
"Buddhist bronze bowls don't work, rosary beads don't work, sticks don't work, and talismans don't work, because these natal elements have no form, but the sword has form, and the shape of the sword is suitable for controlling the vitality of heaven and earth to hurt people."
"Because the sword is straight and has an edge, it can't be moderate. No mean will do. You can't swing the sword for thousands of miles or move one foot in front of you."
Liu Bai said: "You told Ye Su a lot of truths before. I don't understand those truths. I only understand the principles of swords. Since the sword is straight, it should pierce and pass through. It is the simplest, so it is the best."
powerful."
The second senior brother said: "Principles are things in the human world. You should not stay in the human world. Naturally, you don't need to pay attention to it. But if you want to stay in the human world and draw a sword, there are some principles that you still need to follow."
