Chapter 45: A Glimpse of a Moment

Fan Xian stood under the big green tree, one hand stroking his waist, one hand lightly patting the tree trunk, his mouth said reluctantly, his eyes were smiling, this appearance to be how shameless, then how shameless, the whole person seems to be scratched all over the body with many small grids, each grids are written with a big bitchy character.

The so-called bitchy character. This young man from Nanqing, in front of the Four Gu Swords, spoke and acted more than just guilty of suspicion, and even began to commit bitchiness.

The young Emperor of Northern Qi, who had been listening to the conversation between the two in silence from the side, digesting the shock in her heart with the intention of capturing the opportunity, could no longer hold back as she watched this scene, looked at Fan Xian and sighed, “How can a person be shameless to such an extent.”

Fan Xian looked back at her and said with a self-deprecating smile, “You should know that I’ve learned the Heavenly Dao, and you should also know that I can do the Hegemony Kung Fu Technique, and if I learn the Four Gu Swords again, even though the art is more than enough, I always feel that I’ll become a monster, and that it might erase all possibilities in the future……. Most of all, I never thought that I would become a monster. The key problem is that I never think there is love without a cause and hate without a reason in the world.”

He turned to Four Gu Swords in the wheelchair and said softly, “You still haven’t given up on what’s in your heart, could it be that the old guys must cultivate a rival for my emperor’s old man before they die?”

The Four Gu Swords was filled with indifference as he spoke, “Of the three of you, I used to think the least of you, but I didn’t expect that in the past two years or so, you’ve changed and progressed so much that it’s a bit out of my expectations.”

Fan Xian slightly lowered his head and responded, “After experiencing more matters of life and death, there will always be some feelings.”

He was clear that the three people referred to by the Four Gu Swords were himself, Haitang, and Wang XIII Lang, the three young men who were most likely to be close to the realm of the Grand Master. After thinking about it, he continued, “Thirteen should have learned it, but he couldn’t even comprehend its true meaning, let alone me.”

Si Gu Jian didn’t say anything, but instead, the young Emperor of Northern Qi smiled slightly and said to Fan Xian, “If you really don’t want to learn it, why don’t you let me have this opportunity.”

“You?” Fan Xian laughed out loud and said, “Your Majesty is really acting like a big anomaly.”

The young emperor pursed his thin lips and smiled, “Lord Sword Saint only wants to cause more trouble for Emperor Qing after his death, you are always his illegitimate son, I’m afraid that you won’t be able to be ruthless after all, passing it on to me seems to be a bit more straightforward.”

Hearing this, even the Four Gu Swords couldn’t help but hiss and laugh, saying, “I can’t imagine that there are more and more interesting people in the world.”

“Well, idle matters need not be mentioned.” Fan Xian stood behind Si Gu Jian very seriously, his hands gently holding the back of the wheelchair, and said, “Since I have to learn, I have to hurry, should I go bathe and fast for a few days?”

Si Gu Jian’s face looked a bit strange as he glanced back at him and said, “Swords are used to kill people, even if you wash for a hundred days, you’ll still end up with blood on your body, so why bother?”

Fan Xian shook his head and said, “Since you want to teach me, you have to look like a gentleman.”

“This sword skill thing, you should have pretty much learned it from him.” Si Gu Jian narrowed his eyes slightly and said indifferently, “A sword is a dead object, and it is the hand that holds it. Regardless of which direction you stab out and chop down, exhaustive changes, it is impossible to exceed the number of ten thousand …… ultimately the space is only so big.”

Fan Xian was silent and listening carefully, the little emperor on the side also closed her eyes tightly, refused to let go of every word of the Four Gu Swords, even if her realm was not enough for her to understand too much, but forced to memorize, there are always many geniuses in the court of Beiqi, such as at this time far away above the grasslands of the Haitang.

“How does a sword stab out to kill someone? This is the problem of sword technique. And the changes of the sword technique always have an exhaustive time, ten million years down, I don’t know how many former sages and high people in the middle of the hard work, as the saying goes, there is nothing new under the sun, and then how to change, in fact, has long been deduced.”

“That’s why the sword technique was never the most important aspect.” Four Gu Jian the only remaining arm, calmly placed on the armrest of the wheelchair, slowly caressing, as if caressing the hilt of an ancient sword, “When you feel a certain realm, you should understand that the sharp sword of killing needs you to consider, not how to kill, but you …… should kill. ”

It seemed to be a very subtle statement, but on the contrary, Fan Xian understood it. Five Bamboo once on Fan Xian talked about the so-called real potential two words, real is the real qi cultivation level in the human body, potential but contains too much, such as momentum such as specific techniques, swordsmanship is undoubtedly to be categorized in one of the word potential, and four Gu sword at this time said, but has exceeded the real potential two words of the scope of the word.

“It’s the mind, it’s the will, when your actual potential has reached its peak, what you need to break through is the mind and the will.”

The Four Gu Swords spoke indifferently, then raised his head towards the Great Green Tree above his head, and in an instant of one glance, the two eyes of the sword were awe-inspiring, piercing straight into the sky. The countless birds and insects within the Great Green Tree were sensitive to the killing intent that filled the heaven and earth, and fled in fear, letting out countless bird and insect cries that were very mournful, and the birds transformed into countless black dots and flew out of the deep and wide green canopy, heading straight for the clouds under the dome of the heavens, desiring to get as far away from this place as possible.

The voice of the Four Guards Sword grew lower and lower.

“Man is not a god, his physical body is the vessel, there is ultimately a limit. The cultivation of true qi, the increase in actuality, will stop when it reaches a certain stage, a certain stage that the fleshly meridians cannot accommodate.”

“If one were to forcefully cultivate and raise it again, it would only result in the meridians being broken and becoming a wasted person, of course, rising another foot above the Canghai, having reached the realm of the upper ninth grade, wanting to raise it again, is itself an extremely difficult thing.”

Si Gu Jian’s eyes were still quietly gazing at the green-colored canopy, Fan Xian and the Little Emperor were quietly listening from the sidelines, and the atmosphere between the scene was a bit strange. The little emperor wasn’t a strong martial artist, so he couldn’t understand, but Fan Xian immediately caught the true meaning of it–whether it was Wolf Peach, Yun Zhilan, or himself, all of them had already stepped into the realm of the Ninth Grade, but they couldn’t raise their cultivation level any further because they had already reached the limits of the human body, and no matter how much more they practiced, they could only keep themselves in this realm. They can only keep themselves in this realm.

“The reality is the water in the jar, and the potential is the way of sprinkling water.” Four Gu Jian leisurely said, “A jar of water can never moisturize ten thousand hectares of good soil, this is the so-called limit. If you can’t break through the scope of potential, you can only sprinkle water one scoop at a time, and you can’t change your small-mindedness. Learning more techniques and swordsmanship, there are only so many roots, so of course you won’t be able to experience what it feels like when a great river breaks its banks.”

“So the key is still the true qi in your body.” Fan Xian subconsciously picked up on this, thinking of the unfathomable king’s true qi within His Majesty the Emperor’s body like the East Sea.

“There is always a balance and mutual constraint between realms …… Real is certainly the most important thing, but if you cannot master a method to release the real within your body, you cannot have real beyond the mundane.”

“Just like a great river if it breaks its banks, if you can’t control the flow of the river, this mysterious heaven will definitely not grant you a great river.” Four Gu Jian sneered and said, “Because the heavens have the virtue of good life, they won’t let a person just die.”

“That’s too materialistic an argument, and I suddenly realized that even though you’ve cultivated the most powerful people under the heavens, when it comes to teaching your students, you’re actually about the same level as Uncle Wuzhu.” Fan Xian sighed, thinking to himself that all of the things that Si Gu Jian had said made sense, but they were nothing more than nonsense. There wasn’t a method of harnessing the true qi in one’s body, and the self-limitations in one’s body certainly wouldn’t allow the true qi to expand indefinitely, but if one couldn’t get the true qi to rise upwards beyond that critical point, it would be impossible to grasp that kind of arcane method.

It really was nonsense, and a proposition that didn’t make sense logically.

“Because the true qi in the body is no longer at a level that the human body can bear, it has already departed from the realm of the human world, so accordingly, the dharma to manipulate that true qi should not be something that humans possess.” Si Gu Jian withdrew his gaze from the top of his head and looked at Fan Xian and said indifferently, “This is very natural reasoning.”

“Then how do you solve this problem?”

“So you have to first find a dharma that doesn’t belong in the human world.” I don’t know if it was because the Four Gu Swords had withdrawn their gazes back, but the wind on the big green tree also stopped, the leaves swayed gently, and those young birds and insects that hadn’t had the time to escape from the tree fell into silence, with a joy of escaping from death.

“It is also exactly what I said earlier about mind and will.”

Si Gu Jian looked at Fan Xian’s eyes, wondering how much this young man could comprehend and how much he could understand, and slowly said, “Transcendent strength must pass through transcendent ways before it can appear in this world. You have to forget everything you have ever learned, the small means, the great cleaving coffin, the four Gu swords, the hegemonic dharma, the dharma of the Heavenly Dao …… You have to forget all these dharmas that can capture traces.”

“But where there are traces, there must be reason to follow. However the actual momentum of the Great Master realm, there is really no reasoning.” The pupils in Si Gu Jian’s eyes gradually shrunk as he looked at Fan Xian and said sternly, “You have to forget that you are a human being! You must forget that you have hands and feet, you must forget the hairs on your body, the aches and pains in your bones, and don’t try to appease the true qi within you in any way that your body can control.”

“Only the mind and will can throw off the limitations of the physical body.” Si Gu Jian’s voice gradually lowered, but it was like countless bells ringing through Fan Xian’s heart, “Take off your clothes and go.”

Take off your clothes! Fan Xian’s heart was struck by lightning, and sweat suddenly seeped out of his body, dampening all of his clothes. He was familiar with this phrase, for it was a passage from the Pentateuch, the Book of the Lodging, in which Master Bitter Lotus’s master ancestor, Master Root Dust, had once droned at the time of his enlightenment: the body of a man is a sweatshirt, and only when it is taken off can the Way be realized!

On the cliff in Tanyu, when the Hegemony Kung Fu Technique was cultivated to the most critical moment, Uncle Five Bamboo slammed a stick into the center of his brain, and also drank out this sentence.

It did not occur to me that today, I would hear these words again in the mouth of the Four Gu Swords. There seemed to be a heavenly will in the underworld that was also proving to Fan Xian that the deep meaning of these words, as if in between, seemed to show him a new realm that was mysterious and unpredictable, yet extremely charming.

The Four Gu Swords, the great master, never spoke again after saying these words, sitting calmly and silently under the great green tree.

Fan Xian’s body was covered in cold sweat, vaguely knowing that he understood something, but actually understood nothing, he knew that what the Four Gu Swords said was true and right, only that this kind of dharma was too ethereal and ethereal, there was no trace of it at all, and most crucially, such a mind-only statement was completely in two directions from the overbearing kung fu techniques that he had been practicing since he was a young boy, and no one thought that it was a bridge, so was it possible that with just his mind, he could influence this The most important thing is that such a mind-only statement is completely different from the hegemonic technique he practiced from his childhood.

What is the difference between the existence of human beings in the world and everything else? In the heart of the word, people are the spirit of all things, can speak and think, can watch the flowers blossom and happy, watch the flowers fall and sad, watch the moon is full and the moon is short, but the eternal vicissitudes of heaven and earth feeling, watch the tide rise and fall, born of the lassitude of the impermanence of life.

Rick head in the yellow earth of the old people, also know the pleasure of shadow theater, slaves with Pan Lang night stay long …… is the instinctive pleasure, but also through the detached from the instinctive or material way, affect the human mind. The evil and treacherous ministers of power, but also can be withered seat Jingzhai half a day, write a picture of the middle hall, pleased for a long time, to move themselves to tears straight down.

No creature is more complex than human beings, and only human beings can have such rich emotions and hearts that cannot be forgotten for a moment. Heaven and earth are indifferent, the audience lives and dies, but only human beings can reflect on heaven and earth, and their minds are vaguely connected to it.

The sweat on Fan Xian’s body gradually dried up, and he knew how that kind of realm was mind-blowing, but he knew even more that that kind of realm could not be reached just by wanting to reach it. He asked in a hoarse voice, “The true Four Gu Sword can be used without a sword …… How do you teach me?”

“The law is not passed on to the second ear, not unwilling to pass on, really can not pass on.” The Four Gu Swords broke the silence and said indifferently, “You’re wandering around Dong Yi City with me today, I can only show you, as for how much you can experience, it’s all up to you.”

Fan Xian gave a sincere salute and said, “I would like to lead the way for you.”

The young emperor closed his eyes beside the two of them, his eyelids fluttering sharply, looking as if he was trying to memorize all of this old and young duo’s conversation today, word for word.

Si Gu Jian, however, also ignored what was going on in the minds of these two young men, signaling Fan Xian to push his wheelchair, leaving the Great Green Tree and traveling towards the bustling Dong Yi City.

I don’t know when it started, perhaps it was the moment when Sigu Jian looked up at the sky, the pedestrians and travelers under the big green tree had already dispersed in fear in all directions, at this time, there was a silence under the tree, and there was only a faint shadow, shrouding the land under the tree.

Clattering sound, the sea breeze blowing through, under the big green tree suddenly a green leaves flying scattered, I do not know how many leaves fell, revealing two sides of the hollow, you can see the blue sky, as if there is a god’s gaze, had at some point, faintly swept toward the sky.
