The Heavens: A Qing, the Yue Girl at the beginning

Chapter 307 There is nothing missing, the essence of the sky knife (7k)

I saw that Li Jing, who was highly evaluated by Song Que, was a tall and majestic man, aged between 23 and [-]. He was not handsome, with a rough face, but a straight nose, a broad forehead, and eyes Glittering and spirited, it gives an impression of stability and resourcefulness.

This man wears a green scarf on his arm, and carries a long knife, bow and arrow. His attire is the same as that of the ordinary soldiers of the Jianghuai Rebel Army under Du Fuwei. The level of the bow, the breath is at the level of a beginner's innate master.

Li Jing smiled slightly, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth, which formed a strong contrast with his dark and rough skin, and replied with a hearty voice: "Thank you for your appreciation. Negative internal strength turns out to be the 'Dharma Jue' of Zen Buddhism."

"One night a few years ago, I met a one-armed old monk in the outskirts of Daxing, who gave me this technique, and it disappeared the next day. In the past few years, I have traveled the rivers and lakes, in addition to exploring the general trend of the world. , There is also a reason to find the master of the year and express gratitude to him.”

"One-armed old monk? The 'Dharma Jue' of the Zen sect?" Standing beside Li Jing was a man about forty years old, with white hair and a beautiful silver-white beard, without any sign of aging. Elephant, born graceful and majestic, full of grandeur.

This person is the famous master of the Song Clan "Silver Beard" Song Lu, who was famous in the south of the Yangtze River for his own set of "Silver Dragon Turning Technique". , can be regarded as the third master of the Song Clan.

When Li Jing mentioned that the "Dharma Jue" he practiced was taught by a one-armed old monk, Song Lu's heart was shocked, and he immediately thought of a very high-ranking figure in Zen Buddhism, and couldn't help but look at his elder brother Song Que. look away.

"It turned out to be Master Huike, the second ancestor of Zen Buddhism. I didn't expect that he was still alive at that time."

Hearing this unexpected news, even with the haughty character of "Heavenly Sword" Song Que, he couldn't help but feel a little shivering in his heart. He guessed that Hui Ke, whose seniority was obviously higher than the four great monks of the world, should at least have Ning Daoqi, Bi Bi, etc. Xuan's series is even better.

In the past, Huike, the second patriarch of the Zen sect, went to Shaoshi Peak of Songshan Mountain to seek enlightenment from Bodhidharma. He cut off his left arm with a sharp knife in the middle of the snow to show his determination to seek the Dharma, and finally passed on the mantle of Bodhidharma.Since Bodhidharma was originally from Tianzhu, Huike is actually No. 1 in Zen Buddhism in China.

After giving the Dharma to the third patriarch Sengcan, the second patriarch Huike kept a low profile, changed his appearance, and preached the Dharma as appropriate, but he disappeared.Even Daoxin, the fourth patriarch of Zen Buddhism today, does not know whether he is alive or dead, and where he is located.

Now it seems that, at least a few years ago, Hui Ke once appeared near Daxing City and passed on to Li Jing the world's top Buddhist inner strength "Dharma Jue", which laid the foundation for him to reach the level of a top master in the future. .

Most of the profound skills of Buddhism and Taoism are accumulated over a long period of time. Although Li Jing's current cultivation level is obviously not as good as Song Shidao's, but after many years, there is a high probability that he will far surpass the latter; coupled with his equally extraordinary talent in the Dao of the Sword, it can almost be regarded as Above is another Song Que.

At least, in the eyes of Song Shidao, who deeply suspected that his father was very disappointed in him, it should be equivalent in this way, and he was quite relieved that his father finally found a suitable successor.

Sure enough, Song Lu praised from the sidelines: "Brother Li's saber skills are obviously honed in bloody battles, galloping on the battlefield, and charging in the midst of thousands of troops, the power is quite amazing, no fear of the opponent There are a lot of people."

"From the first form of 'two armies against each other', followed by 'showing their sharpness', 'outstanding light cavalry', 'searching for things', 'successful in a battle', 'restraining the emptiness', 'soldiers are impermanent', 'survival and death', From 'Strength and avoid it' to the tenth form of 'Jun Lin Tian Xia', all of them are life-threatening moves involving god and will, and reveal profound military skills and lofty ambitions. No wonder the eldest brother is seeing you After trying out the knife skills, he rarely showed a smile."

"Brother Li, our Song Clan is very optimistic about your ability and future, and considering your status as the successor of Master Huike, we have already regarded you as a friend on an equal footing, so you don't need to be scruples about what you say, you can do whatever you want." Talk about the general situation of the world."

This is "Silverbeard" Song Lu, knowing that Song Que is inconvenient to lower his posture, expressing his obvious favor to Li Jing and further praising him.

Feeling that the "Heavenly Sword" Song Que and the members of the Song Clan have a broad mind, Li Jing also simply expressed his views on the current situation:
"This is an era of great chaos. People from different standpoints fight for wisdom and do everything they can. In the confrontation of swords and swords, it's either you die or I die. Those who are not cruel enough will be eliminated."

"Looking at the current situation, although rebels are everywhere, there are not many outstanding figures. The 'big leader' Zhai Rang, Zhai Rang's general Li Mi, Wang Bo, Dou Jiande and Du Fuwei, these few The power is currently considered to be the most powerful.”

"In recent months, I have joined Du Fuwei's army in the 'Sleeves'. After personal investigation, I found that although Du Fuwei's reputation is great, he is too reckless. It is difficult to change his former underworld overlord The attitude of doing things is not the material for fighting for the world."

"This man is indeed talented in marching and fighting, but he relies too much on his 'law enforcement team' to control the army, and uses the method of looting towns and villages to support wars with wars. , or one side can be separated, but that's all."

"However, in the initial stage of power development, there is no stable territory. It is understandable for Du Fuwei to use such a strategy for the time being. It does not rule out the possibility that he is aware of his own problems and can improve in the future."

"Before he really saw Du Fuwei's way of governing the area he controlled, Li still hadn't made up his mind to leave his Jianghuai army. He still had some hope and wanted to continue to wait and see for a while... Maybe he met by chance today. Being the lord is my chance to make a decision."

Speaking of this, Li Jing caught a glimpse of a round stone wall that Song Que had been holding in his hand, and asked with some doubts in his heart: "Is the lord's trip to Liyang this time to prevent Du Fuwei from attacking the city and ensure the smooth flow of the Yangtze River waterway?" coming?"

In his view, the Yangtze River salt transport is the lifeline of the Song Clan. Once Du Fuwei captures Liyang and cuts off the traffic of the Yangtze River waterway, he is likely to intercept the salt boats, threatening the prestige and livelihood of the Song Clan.The reason why Song Que came out of the mountain suddenly was because of this.

After listening to Li Jing's opinion on the situation, Song Que, who had been looking far away in the direction of Liyang City, finally turned his head, revealing his flawless handsome face:
Under the eyebrows that are thick and clear, there is a pair of eyes that are shining like jewels, and the eyes are full of energy. The broad forehead shows wisdom beyond ordinary people. There is a melancholy expression that can impress anyone in the silence, but It makes people feel that the emotion is so deep and elusive.

Song Que had frost on his temples, but he didn't look old at all. Instead, he added to him the aristocratic air of a high-ranking family, the demeanor of a Confucian scholar.It is also daunting and unattainable.

Combined with his well-proportioned and graceful figure and Yuan Ting Yue Zhi's figure, he indeed has the intoxicating demeanor of an incomparable top master.

Song Que shot a divine light that seemed to be able to see through Li Jing, and then showed a friendly smile, and said: "Little brother Li's views on the situation in the world, especially his evaluation of Du Fuwei, are the same as Song's." .”

"Warring States Wei Liaozi's "Zhan Wei Pian" once said: A warrior must lead his body to inspire the soldiers, just like the heart makes his limbs. If the ambition is not motivated, the soldiers will not die, and the soldiers will not die. The soldiers will not fight. Inspire the soldiers The way of life, people's livelihood must be generous. Nobles and others, relatives who died and mourned, the people's camp, must be visible."

"An excellent leader must lead by example, inspire the fighting spirit of his subordinates by taking the lead, and treat them well, with clear rewards and punishments, and comfort to the dead. However, Du Fuwei can only do it personally during the battle. , people’s livelihood, but it’s a mess.”

"This kind of army can only be rampant for a while at most, and its scale and organization are always limited. It is difficult to withstand major setbacks. Under the unknown rewards and punishments, it is easy for conspirators to take advantage of the situation and cause civil strife and division. This is the end."

After making an accurate inference about Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army, Song Que smiled slightly and began to reply to Li Jing's new question:
"When it comes to the reason why Song left Lingnan, it can't be summed up in a few words. From a certain point of view, it can be said that he got the enlightenment from the saber technique he practiced, felt it in his heart, and happened to meet him. A few important things."

"The thing that touched Song the most was this piece of stone sent by Shi Dao, which gave me a profound new understanding of the Dao of the Sword, life, and even the universe. It was an unexpected gain before I went out.”

How could such a small piece of stone be so inspiring to Song Que, the top figure in the world?Li Jing couldn't help being extremely surprised, feeling unbelievable, looking at the stone bi in Song Que's hand, the more he looked at it, the more shocked he was, with an unbelievable expression.

On the surface, this is obviously a round stone slab made of ordinary mountain rocks, but if you look at it for a long time, you will feel an extraordinary and mysterious charm from it, and feel that this is not just a stone, but should be a stone. A piece of uncut jade with rare treasures inside.

Legend has it that the piece of Heshibi discovered by Bian He was thought to be just a stone by the jade lovers under the king of Chu many times, but when the stone was actually opened, it turned out to be a rare precious jade through the ages.Was the situation at that time similar to that of this special stone wall?
Inexplicably feeling that there seems to be a fairy spirit in the stone bi, Li Jing couldn't help but had a strong idea to cut it open, and was deeply curious about the origin of this object.

"Many years ago, I, Song Que, had the ultimate sword technique in my heart, but it was nothing more than 'there is nothing but the sword'. This is the state of the 'Heavenly Sword' that I reached when I defeated the 'Badao' Yueshan. .”

Song Que said lightly, at some point in his hand, there was an ancient, heavy and unusually heavy sword with a sheath, and at the same time, the human and the sword formed an inseparable and integrated whole, which was completely a strong and Deep feeling, subtle and indescribable.

I saw his treasured saber come out of its sheath suddenly, and it seems to be slashed out carelessly, like an antelope hanging horns, not only without beginning, but also without end, it seems to be as heavy as a thousand weights, but also as light as a feather, which makes people unable to grasp it. , Just looking at it can make people feel dizzy with sadness.

This saber is ever-changing in its invariability, it seems to be done intentionally, but also seems to be done unintentionally. Although it didn't attack anyone present, it made them have a vague understanding, but it was difficult to grasp.

Song Que left the sheath and the right saber, standing in the forest like a god, with his clothes blowing without wind, looking up at the stars and the moon in the sky, his deep eyes shining brightly, and slowly said word by word:
"Using the will is not divided, but to concentrate on the spirit. Only when the spirit is concentrated, can the mind be grasped, and the mind can be followed by the hand, and then the law can be spoken, and then from the law to enter the realm of the lawless, you can know how to use the knife. The knife technique created by Brother Li, Now we are at a critical stage where the law cannot be entered.”

"The law is the level of the earth, and the law is the level of the heaven. The law implies the law, and the law implies the law. It is the highest level of the integration of heaven, earth and man. Only people can connect the heaven and the earth, so that there is no way and there is something. Law, there is law but there is no law."

"The total result of all the hard training and practical experience in the past is called 'body and mind' here. The mind knows what to do and the spirit wants to do it, which is beyond the mind, but if it can only be done occasionally, it is still not enough Said everyone, only when every move and every style is blended with spirit and mind, can the sword technique be as one likes."

"Heaven has its principles, and things have their nature. The most important thing is to use a knife. But if it is intentional, it will only fall into the trace; if it is unintentional, it will be lost. Only by transcending the unity of the knife and intention, entering and leaving between intentional and unintentional, to achieve The sword is the meaning, and the meaning is the realm of the sword."

"At this level, I don't even exist, only the knife, and the knife is everything. This is 'there is nothing but the knife'."

Speaking of this, Song Que glanced at Song Shidao indifferently, and continued: "Everything has its own laws. From a macro point of view, the movements of the sun, moon and stars are constant, and the rotation of the earth and the alternation of midnight are all Able to find constant and unchanging laws.”

"However, if we investigate from the most subtle point, we will find that there are still imperceptible additional changes in it. It can be seen that things are always in a state of motion and change, and cannot be grasped with absolute precision, but only relatively precise. to the extent that it is lacking.”

"How can life be perfect? ​​When heaven and earth are divided at the beginning, yin and yang are judged, and male and female treat each other, all of which are not perfect. Yang advances and yin retreats, yin grows and yang fades, one rises and the other falls, and the pursuit is exactly what can never be achieved. The perfection and balance of human beings. This is the case between men and women, and the fame, fortune, wealth and power that ordinary people strive for is no exception, and in the end it is nothing more than the same."

"Everything in the world is yin and yang. For example, the other side of love is hate. Love is as deep and complex as hate is. It is also impossible to describe it with an absolute attitude. This principle can also be connected in the way of the sword. of."

"But even though we can never achieve a truly complete and complete state, we can still start from the missing part, seek its permanence in the ever-changing, not stagnate in things, forget both things and ourselves, and be at ease."

"After the combination of heaven, earth and man, man is no longer a man, and a knife is no longer a knife. Only in this way can we make a further step forward, from 'there is nothing but the knife' to the state of 'forgetting the knife after getting it'" , to reach the true state of the Dao of the Sword that I have thought about in recent years."

Hearing this, Song Shidao couldn't help but feel shocked, and realized that although his father had received the stone jade left by Zhao Qing on the surface, he passed the sword to the talented Li Jing, and secretly taught him what to do. meaning of reason.

But at this moment, Song Que suddenly turned his head, and asked indifferently: "Master, you should know what my attitude will be if you fall in love with that girl from Korea, right?"

Before Song Shidao could react, he immediately turned his head, looked at the Jianghuai Army barracks a few miles away, and said like a prophecy: "Don't reply to me, Du Fuwei is about to attack the city, and it will be a one-time attack." An all-army onslaught like never before."

……

Under the cover of the brilliant starry sky, Liyang City is black and dark, and the soldiers and civilians at the top of the city are silently waiting for the arrival of the enemy in the dark.

Looking at the torches trembling like thousands of fireflies and extending like a long dragon in the distance on the plain outside the city wall, Zhao Qing sighed softly when he heard the chaotic and heavy footsteps of a large number of troops moving.

It was not because of the unavoidable mass casualties of the Jianghuai Army and the Sui soldiers in Liyang City, but because he heard Song Que tell Song Shidao and Li Jing about his sword skills from afar, and knew that this Heavenly Sword had seen her in the stone. After leaving the essence of "Sword Code" and "Zhiyin Wuji" in Bizhong, a strong idea to challenge myself was born in my heart.

It has to be said that since Fan Qinghui has not read the "Saving Technique" in "Sword Code" in detail, the similar chapter "Transferring Knowledge" in "Dafa of Changing the Day" has given her a lot of inspiration. He is quite good at using it. With the blessing of internal force, the scope of "Tian Er Tong" has expanded a lot.

After vaguely sensing that Song Shidao had traveled westward for three or four hundred miles with the stone slab, and then started to turn back, Zhao Qing guessed the general situation in his heart, knowing that he should have met Song Que who appeared in Jiujiang area for some reason on the way. .

After getting the stone biscuit, Song Que obviously had a lot of understanding about it, perfected his theory of "get the knife and forget the knife", and as she imagined, he rushed towards her direction quickly, wanting to meet the one side.

It's just that although the other party went down the river by boat, he got off the boat long before the river section of Liyang City, came to the land, and secretly approached Du Fuwei's camp outside the city, which was somewhat beyond Zhao Qing's expectation. It made her not notice the arrival of Song Que and others for a while.

Speaking of which, the reason why Zhao Qing brought Shi Qingxuan to Liyang City was due to several factors:

First, Shang Xiufang, the number one talented woman in the world who is as famous as Shi Qingxuan, is also the daughter of "Badao" Yueshan's adopted daughter. Recently, she will be invited by the imperial court to come to Liyang to sing an opera, to encourage the soldiers and civilians of Liyang City, and hope to increase their defense. power on.

After practicing, it is also a beautiful thing to relax properly and enjoy the music and opera. At the same time, it can also let Shi Qingxuan and Shang Xiufang, two masters of music and art, communicate with each other.

Second, Wang Shichong, the current general guard of Jiangdu, is currently mobilizing his own troops under the order of Yang Guang. He is about to march from the waterway to provide support for Liyang City. It will not take long for him to temporarily act as the general guard of Liyang Location.

For Zhao Qing, who was about to obtain the "Wisdom Sutra on the Root of All Laws" from him, it was equivalent to sending it to his door, and there was no need to search for it.

In addition, as far as she knows, Li Jing, the top military talent in the Tang Dynasty, should be serving as a soldier under Du Fuwei, and he can try to recruit him for his own use.

Speaking of which, when Li Jing first appeared in the original work, his martial arts were obviously not very good, and he could barely beat the five second- and third-rate characters in Du Fuwei's law enforcement team.

But a few years later, when Li Jing arrived at the Tiance Mansion, there was a lot of news, and he was able to rank only below Hongfu Girl. In the later period, he became the number one master of Tiance Mansion.

The "Ten Styles of Bloody Battle" created by him is the sword, and the sword is the art of war. With the continuous improvement of Li Jing's cultivation and military level, it can be regarded as another version of Kou Zhong with fewer adventures and weakened force.

This person has the great ambition of saving the country and helping the people, and works hard for it. He is affectionate and intentional, and he is kind and honest. In terms of character, he is still above Ssangyong.

It's no wonder that now Zhao Qing found out from a distance that after Song Que met Li Jing outside Liyang City, he admired this swordsman genius who was very similar to himself, and decided to challenge himself, feeling that his life and death would be uncertain at that time. Under the circumstances, there is a faint meaning of inheriting the Dao of the Sword.

However, judging from Li Jing's experience, Huike, the second ancestor of Zen, is still alive now?Zhao Qing was thoughtful, and whispered to himself:
"Where there is a law or not, intentional or unintentional, you forget the sword when you get the sword, these several divisions of the 'Heavenly Sword' in the practice of the sword, each level and step are quite clear, and they have indeed reached the point of almost perfection, which can be called this world. One of the most outstanding sword masters of all time."

Lawful and deliberate are at the level of Bian Buchen, Wen Caiting and others; Unintentional and unintentional are at the level of Zhu Yuyan, Zhao Deyan and others. To get in and out between intentional and unintentional, one needs to approach the great masters such as Liao Kong and Fan Qinghui. Only masters can maintain it.

If you go from "there is nothing but the sword" to "forget the sword after you get it" and enter the state where no one has a sword, then you will reach the peak level among the great masters, and the distance is equivalent to the limitless distance. The true "unity of man and nature" in the environment is only half a step away.

Although the practice at the stage of a great master or even at a higher level actually varies from person to person, it is not the only path. sword";
However, Song Que's way of practicing the Dao of the Sword belongs to the direction of extremely high and profound ideas, which is more universal than the peerless magic arts in the general sense. As long as it can be passed on, the method of "Heavenly Sword" will never be cut off. Let the younger generation use this to realize the unique knowledge that is most suitable for them.

Arriving at the other side of Liyang City, Zhao Qing's gaze seemed to penetrate a distance of more than ten miles, and he directly saw the situation of Song Que and his party clearly, and sincerely commented:
"It doesn't look like it will take long, maybe in the next trial move, he will be able to combine the information I left behind to make a new breakthrough, stabilize the 'forgotten knife' situation, and even rely on his understanding of what is missing and what is missing. , to truly step into the realm of heaven and man.”

……

The fields outside the city wall are littered with corpses, as if they are telling the story of the tragic siege battle for more than a month.The vast city and fields are dotted with flames, boundless.The sound of war drums and horns, and the sound of horseshoes and wheels resounded throughout the world.

Du Fuwei's central army started from a small hill, mainly composed of cavalry and heavily equipped armored troops.The vanguard army is composed of shield soldiers, archers, knives and axemen, and fortification soldiers, and is equipped with necessary tools for siege such as wood, ladders, and building carts.

The left and right flank armies have 5000 troops each, and they are clear-style cavalry.There are still two troops in the rear of the Chinese army, which can not only defend the rear, but also serve as reinforcements.

At this time, the bright moon rose to the middle of the sky, casting a cold light on the weapons, adding to the atmosphere of killing.These troops quickly advanced towards Liyang City, obviously preparing to launch a large-scale night attack.

The war drum sounded, and more than 70 iron-plated vertical carts specially designed to block arrows began to move towards Jingling. Behind each cart were hidden more than a dozen archers. Shoot arrows towards the city behind the board to cover the attacks of others.

The building car began to advance, moving towards the city wall like towers.Because the height of the soldiers on the building car is similar to the top of the wall, not only can the entire city be covered within the range of arrows, but when they are close to the city wall, the soldiers can also directly step onto the top of the wall and attack into the city.

The trumpets sounded loudly.Hundreds of catapults, driven by thousands of fortification soldiers, arrived first, overtook the building vehicles, and chased behind the iron plate vehicles that blocked the arrows.Tens of thousands of Jianghuai troops shouted together, and their horses neighed wildly, which changed the situation outside Liyang City.

Accompanied by a sound of drums, arrows rained down, and thousands of arrows shot towards Liyang City like raindrops. They were all rockets, drawing countless beautiful fireworks tracks in the sky. It was indeed beautiful to look at, but full of destruction. threat meaning.

After the rockets, huge boulders were thrown towards the wall like migratory locusts, and the flames lit up the night sky.The soldiers and civilians in the city hid behind the city walls or defensive planks.Amidst the rumbling sound, a huge boulder hit the top of the city wall, and stone chips flew across, which was shocking.

For a moment, the situation was extremely tragic, and the originally dark sky was illuminated blood red by the torch.There were shouts of killing inside and outside the city, the sound of trebuchets, the sharp noise of wheels rubbing against the ground, and the rumbling sound of stones hitting the ground or walls.

Randomly shattering a few boulders that were flying and might affect the residents of the city, Zhao Qing quickly noticed a tall, thin old man in the Jianghuai army, about fifty years old, with a clumsy and rigid face, with a high crown on his head.

This person is almost a head taller than the others, with his hands behind his back, surrounded by dozens of martial arts masters, who are coldly observing the battle situation in Liyang City at this time, obviously he is the overlord of the Jianghuai underworld "Sleeve Universe" "Du Fuwei.

Even though he has the ability to kill the opponent with thousands of troops, but considering that the Jianghuai army will inevitably collapse in all directions after losing its leader, and the military discipline will be chaotic and looting the surrounding areas, Zhao Qing does not have enough men to restrain and control the chaotic army. , I am not ready to make a move for the time being.

Calming down the troubled times and restoring peace to the world is Zhao Qing's current goal, but it does not mean that she will devote herself to it anytime and anywhere, and make continuous shots, but it is an incidental behavior while practicing.

However, a considerable part of the Sui soldiers guarding the city may have done evil deeds of oppressing the people, but the residents of Liyang City were innocent, so when Du Fuwei led the army to attack the city, she made a move to block it. Some flying stones and arrows indirectly revealed their own existence.

Glancing at Shi Qingxuan, who was unable to use a lot of internal energy recently due to the "Dafa of changing the day", Zhao Qing refocused on Song Que's discussion in the distance, and said lightly:

"Qingxuan, do you want to know how Song Que will evaluate the "Sword Code" and the essence of "Zhi Yin Wuji" that I handed over to him that day, and what kind of opinion will he get from this?"
