sword sentient beings

Chapter 119 Insights
Sitting in the circular hall, Tang Zhao watched the fish swimming above his head for a long time before knocking on the door.

The door opened automatically, and the inside was not a warehouse, but a study.

Tang Zhao had never seen such a big study room. It was less than ten feet long, surrounded by bookshelves that went straight to the roof, and the bookshelves in the middle were like screens, crossing horizontally and vertically, dividing the room into several rooms.

Apart from the wooden floor, there is no decoration in the study room. Everything is mainly books, except for a separate open space in the center, which is very comfortably furnished.Naturally, there is no need for an open fire in the study room, there are lamps hung with magic tools, and the lamps above the bookshelves are mainly in cool colors.The lights in the clearing were warm and bright.There are blankets on the ground floor, desks and tea tables, and scattered small round tables.There are also five or six chairs of different heights and softness.

Most of the chairs are white, decorated with a small black tail like a crane feather. Depending on the height, it looks like a standing crane, a swimming crane, or a crouching crane.The tea table is equipped with small teapots of various colors, and the mouth of the teapot is like a crane's beak.

This layout style reminds Tang Zhao of the Owl House, and the father and daughter are indeed father and daughter.He couldn't help but think, he has a sword cottage, what theme should he decorate with?
Xue Xianyun was sitting on a high chair, like riding a crane, with the aroma of the teapot on the table, he said, "Have you straightened your mind?"

Tang Zhao had already thought it through, but he was still nervous at this moment, and said, "I don't know if it's right. I think going from one warehouse to the next is a process from illusion to reality."

Xue Xianyun interrupted him: "Did it start from illusion?"

Tang Zhao calmed down and thought about it: "No, illusion is also 'existence'. It should be a process from 'nothing' to 'existence'."

Xue Xianyun said: "Go on."

Tang Zhaoxin calmed down a little, and repeated what he saw first: "The first thing is the sword species, in an empty room. All existence there is 'empty', and the sword species is also a kind of emptiness. They cannot exist by themselves, only through Only when they are set off by different stones can they show their existence."

"Then there is the room of the wind. The wind definitely exists and can be felt, but it can only be felt passively. It has no entity, only properties, or is it... a concept?"

"Then there is the room of fire. Light, fire, thunder and lightning, qi, and shadow. It seems that their commonality is that they can be seen, but the essential characteristic is energy, but they all have the nature of wind."

"After that is water, which has the characteristics of fire, but it has more quality than fire."

"The last is soil, which can also be called earth. It is the most real substance, and it has more shapes than water. At this point, everything is there. From 'nothing' to 'existence', or from 'illusion' to 'Real', all here in full form."

Xue Xianyun said: "The memory is not bad, but the bear breaks the stick and forgets the front after reading it. What else?"

Tang Zhaodao: "There are also metaphysical things? From nothing to the ground, is the birth of a world. It is said that one life is two, two is three, and three is all things. But I don't know whether the birth of the world is in order. .It must be emptiness at the beginning, but is it true that wind must be born before fire? Maybe the opposite is true? It is because of the earth that there is water, and because of water there is fire...and finally there is wind?"

While thinking, he said: "Compared to the profound world view, I think it is more practical to regard it as a methodology."

Xue Xianyun listened with a blank expression all the time, and when he heard the word "methodology", he became thoughtful.

"From the air to the ground, one level is more real than the other, and the level is more concrete. Can it be regarded as the five levels of analyzing the world, or five dimensions? Our objective world, from ancient times to the present, can be used in all aspects. summarized in five levels."

Tang Zhaodao: "The most immediate practical application I can imagine is sword casting. Since the sword is empty and the sword has five dimensions, it must be the earth. Then sword casting is the process of making a sword come into being from nothing. "

Xue Xianyun straightened up, "Oh?"

Tang Zhaodao: "Let's think of your collection of various levels of materials in different categories. I guess, starting from emptiness in casting a sword, does it need four steps? First use wind to add properties, use fire to inject energy, and water to accumulate Quality, and finally use land to fix the shape. This is the process from a sword to a sword, which is its dimensionality reduction—or to the real world.”

Xue Xianyun stood up slowly, and said, "Go on."

In fact, up to here, Tang Zhao had already said everything that came to mind, but Xue Xianyun still wanted to ask, so he could only forcefully say: "I think sword casting is a process of addition and reconciliation. Needless to say, the collocation of various levels There must be unity, but not all must be in the same sequence. For example, the spirit must be matched with the soul and blood bones, and there should be various combinations. The rules of matching need to be learned. And each layer of materials must use Is the special ability a talisman? Or is it a sword casting technique?"

Xue Xianyun said indifferently: "It's the sword-forging technique. There are symbols after the sword-forging. The integration of materials at the same level requires symbols."

Tang Zhaodao: "That's how it is! It's really complicated. I can't think of those specific knowledge. The students can think of so much. Please correct me, the master."

Xue Xianyun paused for a while, and said, "Did what you just said come up entirely on your own?"

Tang Zhaozheng said: "No, I referred to some settings in the story. And...the district inspector's division of the devil's lair. Before I followed the master of the inspector to fight the devil's lair, a river fell from the sky, and the water rippled. Terrible. As a result, Master Xing said that it was an earth-shaped magic cave. I was always surprised, but after asking the Lord, I realized that the division of the magic cave refers to the degree of interference of the magic cave with reality. From being completely real to spatial dislocation, this is not also a level of ups and downs Is it? I think their division and the division of swordsmiths also come from the same source?"

Xue Xianyun lowered his face, and said coldly: "Plagiarism! This is plagiarism! We copied a little bit from the knowledge of our swordsmiths, and the changes are nondescript-you are honest, and you can tell where you think."

Tang Zhaodao: "The students are young, their knowledge is limited, and they haven't seen much in the world. How can they have any breakthrough insights? It's just picking up the wisdom of others. Then I think it's right?"

Xue Xianyun turned her back and said, "It's far-fetched and full of loopholes. For example, to tell you that the nature of the sword is injected by the wind? The wind only plays the role of circulating information, so that the sword can be recognized. You The material is too important, and the sword type is too light. With your superficial knowledge, how can you understand the secrets of sword casting?"

Tang Zhao said sincerely, "Please advise, sir."

Xue Xianyun said coldly: "Advice? It's easy to say, is swordsmithing so easy to learn? Listen to my advice and you can learn it? Listen, you only have three years."

He turned his back and gestured three fingers, and said: "Three years later, there will be an assessment. In the same year, I will forge a sword. If your assessment results are satisfactory to me, I will let you be by my side at that time. Serve as an assistant and witness the birth of a sword with your own eyes. You only have one chance, if you don’t want to regret it for the rest of your life, give me these three years to study hard. Martial arts, talismans, and sword casting skills, others have learned for ten years, and you only have three years.”

Tang Zhao lifted his spirits and said, "Yes. Then how can I..."

He was about to mention what Li Zhihai reminded him, and asked the owner to confirm who he usually studied with, Xue Xianyun interrupted him and said: "Study is your own business. I have a lot of things to do every day, so how can I have time to take care of you? At most, there are only one person per day. I'll give you half an hour. Just—" He looked at a clock next to him, "It's about the beginning of the day. You come to class every day at the beginning of the day, and take the passage along the shore."

"Listen well, my time is precious, I didn't tell you to waste it. Only I said you don't come, and you didn't break the appointment. It doesn't matter if it is windy or rainy, or you have a headache, as long as you are not dead, crawl for me .If you miss it once, you will never use it again.”

Tang Zhao said happily, "Yes. Thank you, sir."

Xue Xianyun shouted: "You are laughing! If you are distracted and perfunctory in class, get out of here too!"

Just as he was talking, the talisman puppet came in with a smile, holding a key.

Xue Xianyun picked up the key, took a closer look, and said angrily, "You idiot—you took the wrong one again. I asked you to take the key to the entrance of the passage, but who asked you to take the study? This is the study, I'll let you take it? "After that, he flew up and kicked at Fu Puppet.

The talisman puppet was extremely flexible, it moved back a few feet, retreated to the other side of the bookshelf, spread its hands, and let out a "slightly slightly slightly" cheap smile.

Xue Xianyun's face turned purple, and he stretched out his hand to grab a fat crane-shaped teacup, and was about to throw it over when Tang Zhao called out, "Sir, calm down."

Xue Xianyun put it down resentfully, and said: "This idiot! I wanted to add some wisdom to it, so that it could learn on its own, but it turned out to be so stupid. I just learned a gesture of spreading my hands, which can be used everywhere. I'll say it again. The key on the third box on the left, bring it to me, go!"

Following his roar, the Fu Puppet smiled and slid out the door.

Tang Zhao regained his composure, seeing that Xue Xianyun was still angry and embarrassed, and wanted to say something else to change the subject, when he suddenly remembered something, took out a book from his sleeve, and said, "Sir, this is Daxia Xue I entrusted it to you, a profound art. I wonder if Daxia Xue mentioned it to you?"

"Tung Blossom Attracts Phoenix Jue".

This book was originally written in Chinese characters, but Tang Zhao re-transcribed it in Jin script.At the beginning Xue Daxia let him decide whether to hand over or not. After experiencing these things, Tang Zhao went to Zhuoyu Villa and decided to live here. Even Xue Daxia stayed here, so there was no reason not to hand over.

Xue Xianyun took it over and said: "Oh, this exercise book, I heard that his profound arts are good at the time, and the stellar energy he cultivated is of high-quality materials, so I want to borrow it to have a look. Ten years have passed, and I have forgotten all about it. Yes, he still remembers. The tung flower attracts the phoenix... um? It's renamed? Isn't it called the Wutong to attract the phoenix? Tung flower... The name is not smooth, since ancient times, the sycamore attracts the phoenix, and the tung flower also attracts the phoenix?"

"what……"

Tang Zhao's heart moved, and he felt a little sad for a moment.

Xue Xianyun said: "Why, do you know why it was changed? Is the tung flower more compatible with the exercises?"

Tang Zhao said softly: "The exercise has nothing to do with Tonghua, I think Uncle Xue changed it for me."

"Tonghua Wanli Guanshan Road, young phoenixes are clearer than old phoenixes. This should be my expectation."

This was the expectation and blessing of Xue Laiyi, who felt that her life was not long at that time, to Tang Zhao, whom she had never met.

Xue Xianyun was stunned, shook his head and said, "There is an allusion hidden here? Is this an interest among you scholars?"

Tang Zhao showed nostalgia - not so much the interest of the scholars, but the tacit understanding between the only two people in the world who still have a relationship with Mr. Chen.

Xue Xianyun threw the key in his hand to him, and said: "Since you like reading, you also clean the study room. It's better than that idiot A Xiao. Work hard, don't let this place attract dust."

Tang Zhao said: "Yes. If there is a job of serving tea and pouring water, disciples can also do it."

Xue Xianyun said: "Will I be polite when I want to order you around? By the way, I don't know how to teach you martial arts, and there are not many martial arts masters in the villa. If you want to learn Kung Fu well, go to Shenyi. He's still a little level."

Just as he was talking, he could only hear the ringing of the bell above him. With a gesture of Xue Xianyun's hand, a bell hung down from above his head, and it was close to Xue Xianyun's ear, as if it was transmitting the sound.

"A guest is here, District Prosecutor? It's really troublesome. Marquis Gao Yuan has a lot of personnel and is stingy." Xue Xianyun let go of the bell.

Tang Zhao knew in his heart that it was Xing Ji, he came here for official business, so he hurriedly bowed and said, "I will take my leave first."

Xue Xianyun said unhappily: "Why are you leaving? Did you just forget about serving tea and water? I've had enough of that idiot A Xiao. From now on, you will be in charge of serving the guests when they come."
