Chapter 232 A Sword in Your Hand and No Sword in Your Heart
"Martial arts has reached a bottleneck. If you want to go further, you need to understand the world and integrate your mind into the world, which is the so-called unity of man and nature."

"After the unity of heaven and man, you can communicate with the heaven and the earth with your mind, and use the power of the heaven and the earth to bless your body. With the blessing of the power of the heaven and the earth, you will be faster, stronger, and more sensitive. Every plant and tree is in your hands. It can exert great power.”

"For us swordsmen, it can be said that 'everything can be a sword'."

Everyone was fascinated when they heard it. Such a plant, tree, bamboo and stone can be used as a sword. Just thinking about such a realm makes people excited.

Flying flowers and picking leaves can hurt people, but in front of grass, trees, bamboo and stones, they can be used as swords, it is nothing more than a small skill.

The former is an explosive skill, which can be achieved only with deep internal strength, and it is only a moment of power.

But no matter how deep the internal power is, it is impossible to turn grass and trees into sharp swords, because that is a continuous output, and no one can afford it.

After Dugu Qiubai explained the realm of the unity of man and nature, he continued: "As for why I said that you can no longer go further..."

He looked at Xiao Bieli's Wentian Sword, and said, "Let me ask you, what is the sword in your heart?"

Xiao Bieli opened his mouth and said, "Of course... yes..."

Xiao Bieli was stunned, he suddenly didn't know how to answer this seemingly simple question, what is the sword in my heart?He didn't usually think about it at all.

All he knew was that when he was young, he longed for fighting with swords in the rivers and lakes, wishing to be kind and enmity, so he worked hard to practice swordsmanship, and sure enough, he was successful in swordsmanship.

After he stepped into the rivers and lakes, he acted chivalrously, punished rape and eradicated evil, and enjoyed himself.

Even after seeing many swordsmanship and accumulating a certain background, he created his own "nine separations and eighteen separations" swordsmanship, which became famous all over the world.

After the battle between Song and Jin, he found a new goal in life. He wanted to use the sword in his hand to drive out foreign enemies for the Song Dynasty and restore the country.

So he joined the Yue family army and followed Marshal Yue to fight in the north and south.

However, what is the sword in his heart?
Dugu Qiubai said: "What? Can't answer?"

"..."

Dugu Qiubai turned his head to look at Luo Changfeng beside him, and asked with a smile, "Changfeng, do you know?"

Luo Changfeng looked at Xiao Bieli who was looking at him, and said: "I don't know Xiao Daxia, nor his past experience, so I don't like to judge, but I can probably guess something."

Xiao Bieli was no stranger to this young hero who fought side by side with Dugu Qiubai in Jingzhao Mansion, and even said bluntly that neither he nor Yue Fei valued Luo Changfeng much more than Dugu Qiubai.

Because Luo Changfeng is a Han, and it is said that he was the one who took the lead in the change of Jingzhao Mansion. Deep down in his heart, he admired Luo Changfeng more than Dugu Qiubai.

Dugu Qiubai is from Xianbei and a pure swordsman. If it weren't for Luo Changfeng, he would never have helped Da Song.

It was just because he was not familiar with Luo Changfeng, and he was an old friend with Dugu Qiubai, so he talked to Dugu Qiubai first.

Hearing Luo Changfeng's words at this moment, he couldn't help stretching out his hand with admiration in his eyes and said, "Please also ask Luo Shaoxia to be frank, and Xiao will listen carefully."

Luo Changfeng said: "Don't dare, the so-called great heroes serve the country and the people. Since Xiao Daxia can be called a hero by Huo Daxia and others, he must also be a person with a heart for the world and a chivalrous heart."

"Then it is conceivable that before the battle between Song and Jin, Xiao Daxia was a hero who fought for righteousness and fought against injustice. When the war started, you immediately devoted yourself to the great cause of fighting against Jin."

"And this is exactly where Xiao Daxia's problem lies, because you have only used the sword as a tool from the beginning to the end."

Xiao Bieli focused his eyes and murmured: "Tools?"

Luo Changfeng nodded and said: "That's right, tools. In the past, they were tools used by chivalrous men to fight for righteousness and enjoy vengeance, but now they are tools used to expel foreign enemies. For Hero Xiao, I can sum it up by saying 'there is a sword in your hand, but there is no sword in your heart'."

"You have chivalry, loyalty, and righteousness in your heart...but you don't have a sword."

"As a swordsman, but without a sword in his heart, how can he comprehend the unity of man and nature, and how can he improve his swordsmanship?"

"So Xiao Daxia can be regarded as a warrior, he can be called a hero, but he is not considered a swordsman. He is not a person who uses the sword as a weapon, but a swordsman."

"Actually, the realm of the unity of man and nature does not depend on the level of skill, and it doesn't matter how old you are. Once you realize it, you have realized it, even if you are less than 20 years old."

"If you don't understand it, even if your skill reaches the innate level, you still can't understand it."

After hearing Luo Changfeng's words, Xiao Bieli couldn't help but suddenly realized that it was so.

Gangzhu Qian, Huo Jingshan, Wang Chongyang and others around him nodded slowly involuntarily, especially Gangzhu Qian. further.

Luo Changfeng sighed: "But in fact, there is no need to force it. Everyone has their own fate and what they want to pursue. If there is gain, there will be loss."

"Xiao Daxia is not pursuing the way of swordsmanship. You have lost the opportunity to advance to a higher level, but you have done something that you think is more meaningful. You only need to persist in doing what you want to do. This life is worth it."

Xiao Bieli nodded and said with a smile: "Luo Shaoxia is right. In this life, as long as one can have a clear conscience, it will be worth it."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Bieli asked curiously: "I already understand that in Brother Dugu's heart, the sword is the 'Tao', and it is the only thing he wants to pursue in his life. For the sake of the sword, he can put aside everything, so he has the sword in his hand. There is also a sword in my heart."

"But I don't know what a sword is in Luo Shaoxia's heart?"

Dugu Qiubai was also very curious about this question, and turned his head to look at him as well, but he secretly said in his heart: "You guessed wrong, if it were me, I would have no sword in my hand, but I would have a sword in my heart."

A gentle look appeared in Luo Changfeng's eyes, and he walked slowly to the side for a few steps, walked to the door of the hall, raised his head slightly, looked at the sky outside the house, and said, "It's love, someone once described me as a 'passionate swordsman' Ruthless sword', the sword is ruthless, but people are sentimental, whether it is ruthless or passionate, it is a kind of emotion."

"So in my heart, the sword is love."

"what?"

Everyone was stunned, especially Lin Chaoying, she really couldn't imagine that Luo Changfeng would say such a thing, sentimental?Why didn't I see it at all?

Luo Changfeng ignored their gazes, and said to himself: "If brother Dugu entered the Tao with the sword, then I will enter the Tao with emotion."

"Only if you can be extreme in emotion, can you be extreme in sword. Because I can be extreme in emotion, I can be extreme in sword."

Dugu Qiubai looked at Luo Changfeng with a strange expression on his face, and said: "Because you can be extremely emotional, you can be extremely powerful with swords. This is indeed an extremely high level, but...you don't even have a sweetheart, how did you realize this?" How can you be so affectionate?"

Luo Changfeng said without looking back: "Who told you that I don't have a sweetheart? Actually... I got married a long time ago, and it was also in the year I got married that I reached the realm of the unity of man and nature."

Dugu Qiubai's expression became even weirder, and he said in a tangled voice: "But we lived in seclusion in Diao'er's valley for two years, why have we never heard you mention it? Where are the brothers and sisters?"

Luo Changfeng's expression suddenly darkened, and he said lonely: "I don't know where she went? But I will definitely find her, I will."

"..."

Everyone fell silent, they looked at Luo Changfeng with sympathy, and the atmosphere at the scene became inexplicably heavy.

Seeing this, Chief Qian suddenly laughed, and said: "I told you, you guys discuss martial arts as soon as we meet, and the old man can't stop talking. Hero Xiao, shouldn't we talk about the purpose of our visit?"

Xiao Bieli also reacted, and said again and again: "Exactly, there is plenty of time after reminiscing about the past, let's talk about the business first!"

Talking and talking about Ah Qing, Luo Changfeng suddenly became depressed, and he said lightly: "You guys talk about these things! When I need to help, just let me know."

"By the way, Brother Dugu and I will stay here for another month. After one month, we will return to our secluded place and concentrate on studying the Nine Yin Manual. When will it come out next time? But just say no." Yes."

After speaking, he walked out of the hall and went to the back garden.

Dugu Qiubai looked at his back, with a hint of worry in his eyes, but Xiao Bieli and Qian Gangzhu, two old friends, were here, so it was hard for him to leave them and follow Luo Changfeng.

Wang Chongyang didn't have such scruples, he said softly to Huo Jingshan, "Hero Huo, I'll go and see him."

"it is good."

Lin Chaoying followed him out of the hall door calmly, and the little girl followed her step by step, never leaving her for a moment.
