The Lord who use immortals as food

Pei Ye straightened his sitting posture.

Of course, Cui Zhaoye had never seen his sword ladder. Today was just the first time they met. She had never even read "Jade Fei Sword" and only saw a few moves he used on Ye Lake.

However, in just two sentences, the true meaning of this sword and the way forward have been revealed.

Although he originally knew that this girl had a very high reputation among sword critics, in the final analysis, sword reviews were for people who could not understand or see through swords. On the surface, they reviewed swords, but in the eyes of most people, they reviewed swords. people.

Therefore, sword critics are often seen as insiders by outsiders, but they are outsiders in the eyes of insiders. They are a channel for swordsmen to promote themselves, and they are also another measure taken by Xianrentai to keep the practice world from being separated from the common people.

However, now Pei Ye knew that this girl was actually a real swordsman. The family's reputation, age and appearance turned out to be just the icing on the cake. The sword critic's origins were all about "explaining things in a simple way", but she really tried her best to "go deep".

Pei Yedao said solemnly: "I would like to hear the details."

Cui Zhaoye smiled and looked at him: "I just asked Pei Shaoxia so many past events. Is Pei Shaoxia at all interested in my past events?"

"..."

Changsun Jue said calmly at this time: "Why, he is not interested, why don't you tell him?"

Cui Zhaoye looked at her.

Changsun Jue lowered his head to eat cakes.

Cui Zhaoye calmed his expression, took a breath and said seriously: "Pei Shaoxia, I have read countless swordsmanship books since I was a child."

Pei Ye looked at her.

"After my childhood interest in wooden carts and paper kites, after I saw someone using a sword for the first time, after I suddenly opened a book called "Talking about Swords" while reading classics..." Cui Zhaoye looked at Dongku beside him. Tree, "I plunged headlong into this vast world and could never get out."

She smiled at the young man: "Unfortunately, as Pei Shaoxia has seen, I can't practice."

"The sword gift is logically more rare than 'opening the pulse', but it's a pity that I don't have one or the other." Cui Zhaoye said, "I can actually wield a sword well, but after all, I have no true energy, and my ability to go up the mountain has been cut off since then. road."

"Fortunately, my family later found a way to open such a pair of eyes for me. Even though I couldn't walk in person, I had the hope of seeing the top of this mountain. From then on, my only obsession was to absorb all the knowledge of kendo that I could get. Many times I feel that there are far less swordsmanship books from those famous holy places than I have read, because they still have to practice swordsmanship after all," Cui Zhaoye said, "Two years ago, I felt that I had nothing to read at home, so I went there. Beijing."

"Like many scholars from poor families, I took my written sword theory to visit the holy places of famous families, sent my articles to many big figures in the world of swordsmanship, and helped their swordsmen to deduce swordsmanship. If they approve my theory, I can "I read their sword books in the sword building of Xiujian Academy," Cui Zhaoye smiled, "This experience is really hard, but it is indeed worthwhile. I have enjoyed many wonderful sword games in Shenjing in the past two years. I also came across too many rare and precious sword books that I had never heard of before.”

"But even after such an experience, I always feel..." She looked at Pei Ye seriously and said softly, "The 'sword' has not been well used by this world."

Pei Ye was stunned.

He was ready to hear some shocking words, but the words that came into his ears still made him stunned and speechless.

It's too fanciful, too inexplicable, and too arrogant. Even with the blessing of previous halo and experience, this is too much like a sentence that makes people laugh.

However, the girl had no intention of joking. Her eyes were even brighter, sparkling with some kind of fiery sparks: "I have collected and sorted out the world's swordsmanship. About one-third of the swordsmen I have mastered, and only 90% of the swordsmen covered." Above five... everyone is following the same path, including Yunlang Mountain on the bright side."

"It is said: Enter the Tao with your heart and release the heaven and earth with your sword."

Pei Ye frowned.

"This is how everyone practices swordsmanship. The state of the humble spirit is the control of the sword. When it comes to 'intention', it completes the first expression of oneself with the sword." Cui Zhaoye said eloquently, "What is stated in "Introduction" It is said, 'I will spread my feelings to all the heavens and the earth.'"

She looked at Pei Ye: "Then I say that the Heart Sword actually means 'spreading my heart to the heavens and the earth'. Is that appropriate?"

"."

"."

"Appropriate." Pei Ye said slowly.

The Heart Sword is not something that can be covered by such a few words, but there is absolutely no problem with the logic of using the two words to describe the Heart Sword. He is the successor of the Heart Sword, and Pei Ye has no doubts about this issue. It is originally "Xin Dao" first and then "Sword Transmission" - you must first understand the "lonely person" before you can grasp [Mingjian] The Ice Sky Reflects Me] can be conveyed to the opponent with the sword in hand.

"Master - Sword - Guest" is originally a sword structure that is universally applicable. This is true for the sword of the heart and the sword of the mind. In fact, all swords are like this.

Pei Ye was suddenly stunned.

He looked at Cui Zhaoye intently and understood what she was talking about.

"If Pei Shaoxia has read more of my sword theory, you can see that I always have a complicated attitude towards those perfect and short-cut swords. I can't help but be obsessed with them, but I am unwilling to admit that they are my swordsmen on the other side. I always He overly favors swordsmen who rely on aura and intuition, even if they often have a weak foundation; and he loves and hates swordsmen like Yan Feiqing and Yang Zhenbing, even if they are almost perfect." Cui Zhaoye looked at him. , "I always add the sentence 'The sword is a man's sword' in many articles. It is precisely because under this structure of sword cultivation that if you want to achieve perfection, you have to gradually let go of the human part and embrace people's mistakes and impulses. , aura, etc., to make oneself as powerful as the Tao, that is the ultimate realm of swords that people pursue. "

……Yes.

"Master - Sword - Guest", if people want to exert a stronger influence on the object they want to target, they naturally need to practice "Master" and "Sword".

Just like the "Gu She Heart", it is certainly much more powerful than the mortal heart.

Pei Ye was still far away from the top of the Kendo Mountain, while the girl in front of him had barely taken a step. But at this moment, the two of them were standing at the foot of the mountain covered by clouds and mist, and a certain arrogant idea actually came together.

——In this way, people change themselves so that the sword can reach the ultimate level. So, is the sword used by people? Or is it used by people?

Cui Zhaoye looked at the young man in front of her with bright eyes. Just by looking at his ever-changing face, she knew that he had understood her in just one sentence. This feeling of "confidant" almost made her depressed and lonely for several years. Empty in an instant.

"Young Master Pei..." she whispered nervously, "what do you think is right and wrong?"

"...How dare I talk about who is right and who is wrong?" Pei Ye came back to his senses and smiled blankly, "It's just that although I haven't read much, I have actually seen many very novel or specious views. Miss Cui's statement is the one that shakes my mind the most, but if an idea wants to become truth, I am afraid it will have to go through a very long and difficult verification process. "

The more the young man spoke, the more serious his expression became, and there was obviously no politeness or tact for a new friend. Cui Zhaoye smiled when he heard the words: "Then at least Pei Shaoxia agrees that this is a path that can be tried, right?"

"Of course it is."

"Then Mr. Pei...are you willing to try it with me?" The girl looked at him sincerely, with stars in her eyes.

Pei Ye was slightly startled: "How...how do you try this?"

"Try it, 'transmit the meaning of the sword to my heart'. Try the 'Guest - Sword - Me' way of practicing swordsmanship." Cui Zhaoye said, "Try the 'Sword' Throwing Move' In the end, try not to have a god-like insight into the entire battle situation, but to rely only on one heart and one sword to defeat all powerful enemies."

"...Miss Cui, have you ever thought about it?"

"I think about it all the time, but no one can test it for me." Cui Zhaoye looked at him, "Will Pei Shaoxia be willing to try to climb this cliff with me?"

Pei Ye was stunned. This was of course a cliffhanger and a somewhat presumptuous invitation.

Of course, it does not require the young man to change his sword path, and it will inevitably require a lot of effort, but all of this is just in his imagination.

But what the girl just said really hit him.

He suddenly remembered that there was indeed such a sword. He had seen it with his own eyes and held it with his own hands.

... [Naked Heart Sees the Blade], is this the Sirius Star on this road?

"It's a great honor." He said softly, "Thank you Miss Cui for your favor."

Cui Zhaoye's eyes narrowed with laughter, and he tilted his head and said, "Only Mr. Pei made me see the hope of this road."

She suddenly raised her tea cup high and said proudly to the young man: "I have a confidant on this trip, so I don't realize that the road to Shu is difficult! Cheers!"

Pei Ye stood up with a smile, and the seventeen-year-old boy and girl raised their glasses high in the thin and steep winter forest. The cool tea soup spilled cool water lines in the air.

This day was the eleventh day of November in the year of Suolin Xinsi. Only Changsun Jue watched this scene with some sleepiness.

Cui Zhaoye's mobility far exceeded Pei Ye's imagination. Seeing that it was getting dark, he was about to make an appointment to meet again, but the girl couldn't wait to put away the pen and paper and said: "Let's go."

"...Where to go?"

"Sword Xiu Academy." Cui Zhaoye turned his head to look at him in surprise, "It's just the time of Xu Shi, will Shaoxia Pei stop practicing swords?"

"..."

I really didn’t plan to practice.

…

On the comfortable and spacious carriage, the pearls emit soft light.

"Because the magic of the 'sword' lies here."

"It can miraculously convey a person's own mind, heart, and even Tao to heaven and earth. Other swords and guns, of course, also talk about 'mind' and cultivate 'heart', but they only hope to cultivate themselves through their own practice. Better to wield weapons, they cannot really envelop the people they see with their own will, nor can they really enter people's minds." In the quiet carriage, the girl slowly sipped her tea and narrated. Street light streamed through the cracks in the curtains.

The Cui family's carriage and horses were really stable and comfortable. Changsun Jue and Cui Zhaoye were sitting together, and Pei Ye was leaning on a small couch, closing his eyes and listening.

"Then I think the converse should be equally feasible - that is, the 'heaven and earth' can be conveyed into the 'heart' of the swordsman." Cui Zhaoye said, "Thus, the swordsman himself can have some kind of magical state, which is roughly similar to that of a warrior. 'The great power belongs to oneself'."

Changsun Jue tapped his chin gently: "It sounds a bit like 'the six classics note me' and 'I note the six classics'."

"Not bad. Confucians hope to touch the truth of the world through classics, which is different from swordsmen who hope to pursue Tao through swords."

Pei Ye said: "Classmate Zhangsun, what is the 'Six Classics Instructions for Me'?"

Changsun Jue smiled: "You know we always want to interpret the Five Classics in order to obtain a guideline that can be followed. But there is a saying that the classics are just an elucidation of the inherent conscience of my heart. As long as I practice my heart, the six classics will be fulfilled. All the scriptures are my footnotes.”

".That sounds like a crazy thing."

"No way. We just said in class that Confucius said that 'virtue is born in you'. In fact, Mencius also believed that benevolence is innate. They wrote the classics originally from their own hearts. Therefore, the 'Six Classics Annotations', naturally You can also say 'Six Classics Notes to Me'."

"Shut up first." Cui Zhaoye raised his hand to stop him, "So Pei Shaoxia, I think that people can also achieve certain changes in themselves through swords. This is my first relatively complete idea. Tonight we will Give it a try.”

She looked at the boy: "I call it [Sword State]."

"Sword status."

"The state of mind can be seen on the outside. I think it represents all the magic that the swordsman can achieve after 'piercing the heart with the sword.'" Talking about her idea, the girl's excitement is visible to the naked eye, "If this kind of attempt If we can succeed, it means that our idea is at least a long way to go!”

"Does Miss Cui have many such ideas?"

"The more you read, the more you will naturally think." Cui Zhaoye smiled, leaned back on the backrest, then pursed his lips and paused, "Pei Shaoxia, I have a lifelong ambition."

"What?"

"I want to understand the world of swordsmanship, sort out all the principles of swordsmanship, and open up all the ways to practice swordsmanship from low to high. Then write a book." Cui Zhaoye's eyes were shining in the dark, like two bright pearls, "" "Introduction to the Sword Art of the Six Dynasties" is a summary of the history of swordsmanship, "Shuo Sword" is only a high-level overview of sword theory, "Xirige Talks about Swords" is smooth and clear, but shallow and confusing, almost an essay... I don't want to add anything Attributive, write a classic about 'sword'."

"..."

"Every word is considered carefully, every problem is faced head-on and must be solved." Cui Zhaoye thought, "The words I write should be passed down to future generations of swordsmanship like classics."

Pei Ye was in awe. He had just been able to read and write, but he was still a mess when it came to writing articles. Just listening to it made him realize what a huge project this was.

"That must be a lot of words, right?"

"I'd say somewhere between three million and four million."

Pei Ye felt respectful again and couldn't help but ask: "How much has Miss Cui written now?"

"Still thinking of a name."

"..."

"Now I want to call it "Sword Code", but I don't think it's commonplace." She suddenly tilted her head and smiled softly, "How about Pei Shaoxia help me think of one. If I can write this book, Pei Shaoxia will be indispensable in the way of swordsmanship. Please help me, and we can co-sign this book.”

Before Pei Ye could say anything, Changsun Jue pointed at the side and said, "Why don't you each choose a word for your name - let's call it "Ming Pei Sword Code"."

"..." Cui Zhaoye glanced at her silently.
