That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 653

After Sapphire smashed the eleven prison guards one by one, she still kept the posture of holding the invisible sword in her hands, and walked slowly towards the gate of Daqi.

With one sword repair, one can control the sword for thousands of miles, killing people invisible, taking the head of a general from a thousand troops is like picking something out of a bag, or holding a three-foot green sharp edge in hand, killing a person in ten steps, without stopping for thousands of miles.Since ancient times, there have been many people who can use the sword to enter the Tao, also known as sword immortals.

Leaving aside the rumored Tianzi Sword that can only be used by the Emperor, there are four sword masters.

One is that the body and the sword are combined, and the human sword is one. Holding a long sword, it can fly into the sky and escape from the ground. Between vertical and horizontal, the sword energy can tear the sky and the earth.

The second is to sacrifice and refine the flying sword, which is extremely spiritual. You can control the flying sword with your mind, and you can fly thousands of miles in a blink of an eye.

The third is to use the body as the cauldron, use its own qi as the real fire, supplemented by the Xijin essence, and practice a sword pill in the body. After the sword pill is trained, open the mouth, and the sword pill turns into white light and comes out. Flying in the air, beheading people, but although this way is powerful in killing people, it is suspected of emphasizing skills and despising the way, and it is difficult to prove the way to longevity, so few people practice after the two sword celestial beings.

The fourth is to seek the advantage of having no sword rather than having a sword, emphasizing the intention rather than the shape, the sword is invisible, and the qi becomes a sword.

As the world's sword repairing tradition, Jianzong can be said to be the master of the first three, but the fourth way is not deeply involved. On the contrary, there is an inheritance about this way in Tianji Pavilion, which has never been linked to the word kendo. Sapphire, the master of the Tianji Pavilion, is the master of this way.

Before Emperor Zulong swept the world, there was no theory of the three religions. At that time, Western Buddhism had not yet spread to the Central Plains, and Confucianism and Taoism were not as respected as they are today. At that time, hundreds of schools of thought contended, except for Confucianism and Taoism. In addition, there are four schools of legalism, Mohism, yin and yang, and famous schools that can be as famous as them.Later, on the basis of these six schools, ten schools were added, including strategists, miscellaneous schools, farmers, and novelists. It was only later that a Confucian sage said bluntly: "Of the ten schools of thought, only nine schools are worthy of attention." Remove the novelists, and call the remaining nine schools Jiuliu, which is also the earliest theory of Jiuliu.

Later, Emperor Wu admired Confucianism, Emperor Tang respected Taoism, and Emperor Taizu of Liang Dynasty fell in love with Western Buddhism. Under the great admiration of three generations of emperors, today's theory of the three religions gradually came into being. Fu Chen, the former owner of the Tianji Pavilion, Born in the Fu family of the first family in Dazheng, he also worshiped Taoism. Later, he successively served as the head of Tianji Pavilion and the leader of Bailian Sect, integrating the heads of various families. Physicians and physicians believe: "Therefore, when discussing pre-Qin academics, it can be divided into twelve schools of yin and yang, Confucianism, Mohism, name, law, Taoism, vertical and horizontal, miscellaneous, agriculture, novels, soldiers, and medicine."

Tianji Pavilion inherits the lineage of Mohism. It was once as famous as the Confucianism represented by Dacheng’s most sage ancestors, and the Taoism represented by Taoist ancestors. It is enough to see the brilliance of the Mohism back then.

When Mohism was at its peak, it was able to stand against Confucianism, who later became the teacher of the world. At that time, there was a saying that "if you don't join Confucianism, you will join Mohism", and the influence of Mohism was even higher than that of Confucianism.The reason why Mohism is weak is directly related to the rise of Confucianism. In the final analysis, Confucianism, who wants to be the teacher of the emperor, is the study of the rich and powerful. It sets rules one after another for the world, and the hierarchy is strict, while Mohism is the school of the common people. The two are like ice and coal in a furnace, and they are things that are absolutely difficult to blend. Naturally, the emperors of all dynasties will admire Confucianism that pays attention to "heaven, earth, monarch, relatives, and teachers" instead of "taking heaven as the law." Mohists.Therefore, Confucianism has been advancing all the way since Emperor Wu respected Confucianism and Taoism, while Mohism was repeatedly suppressed and gradually declined. Finally, it was divided into two branches. The other branch is called Ranger, which is the predecessor of today's Wuxiu lineage. It is like a pan of loose sand. To a certain extent, the Mohism has died.

It's ridiculous to say that Han Xuan, who was born in the Confucian school, pays attention to the learning of the common people, but Lan Yu, who was born in the Mohist school, stands on the opposite side of Han Xuan.

At that time, the leader of the Mohist school was called "juzi", and he acted with the tenet of universal love, non-aggression, economical use, enlightenment of ghosts, and heaven's will. Authoritative, the members of the Mohists all call themselves Mohists, and they are known as "everyone can go to the fire and die, and death will not return the heels."

Among them, Mohists are divided into "Mo Bian" similar to civil officials and "Mo Xia" similar to military officials. The invisible sword Lan Yu uses today is passed down from Mo Xia back then.The reason for this is that the Mohist emphasizes that the sword is like a sword but not an attack, so no front is better than a front, which is completely contrary to the concept of Jianzong who emphasizes "the sword is a sharp weapon for killing". The means are discarded, and it is not recognized as a way of swordsmanship. Even the Mohists themselves have many disputes about this, so the reputation of this method is not obvious to the world, and it is rarely spread.

Sapphire raised the invisible sword in her hand and sighed softly.

Just as he himself inherited what the Mohist had learned, but not the philosophy of the Mohist, the sword in his hand is a non-attack sword, but he is going to use it to kill people today.

……

Behind the Daqi Gate is the Chengtian Gate. At this time, a middle-aged Confucian scholar is standing on the upper floor of the Chengtian Gate, and beside him is a white-haired old man wearing a first-grade flying fish suit.

Duanmu Ruisheng, who has officially become a traitor, is after all a high-ranking high-ranking official who has been in charge of the Dark Guard Mansion for many years. The city mansion is deep, and even if all the eleven blood guards who guard the prison are destroyed, he still has a calm face, calm and unhurried, without the slightest surprise angry state.It has to be said that the old man's calm demeanor in every major event is far better than that of his son Duanmuyu.

As for the middle-aged Swiss, it was Xu Jingwei, the ghost palace. After he, Xu Jingwei and Meng Dongfei retreated from Xiaoweiyang Palace, he was ordered by the Palace Master to send Duanmu Ruisheng back to the imperial capital and assist him in controlling the imperial capital.

Duanmu Ruisheng turned his head to look at the middle-aged Confucian scholar, and said softly: "Mr. Xu..."

Xu Jingwei put his hands on the railing of the city gate, and said with a smile: "The palace owner has long known that the imperial city formation needs a cardinal key to fully operate. The cardinal key used in the Zheng Dynasty has been destroyed, and the cardinal key used today The cardinal key is the Imperial Seal, but please rest assured, Lord Duanmu, the palace lord has already made arrangements."

Duanmu Ruisheng was about to say something, but Xu Jingwei said ahead of time: "At this time, Kong Yixiao and Meng Dongfei have entered the Tianji Pavilion, and according to the Palace Master's method, the two of them can probably control the formation of a stick of incense. time."

Duanmu Ruisheng was silent for a moment, then asked again: "What about after a stick of incense?"

Xu Jingwei said plainly: "After all, he is a person on the list of secrets, so it is unpredictable. If we can seriously injure him, then the three of us will be sure to make this Master Lan die. If he can't be hurt, or just If it's just an insignificant minor injury, then we can only leave the imperial city."

Duanmu Ruisheng fell into deep thought, his expression changed.

Xu Jingwei sighed, and said helplessly: "If he could persuade this Prime Minister Lan to turn against him at the beginning, then the overall situation is now settled, but there is no way for this Prime Minister Lan to become a loyal minister."
