Chapter 33 On the Sword
As Xiao Yu expected, the practitioners in the cultivation world are like mortals in the secular world, and there is no shortage of people in the cultivation world.
Before the news that Xiao Yu was going to hold a sword appreciation party spread all over the world, some masters of practice, walking and secularism came to the Golden City.
With the passage of time, there are more and more masters gathered in Jincheng. However, due to the high prestige of the Huangfu family in the secular world, the masters gathered in Jincheng are very calm.
On the last day of the end of April, some major forces such as Kunlun and Shushan also came to Jincheng.
At this time, the number of immortal masters gathered in the Golden City is far less than that of the divine soldiers' treasure appraisal meeting in those years, but the total number of people is much higher than that of the divine soldiers' treasure appraisal meeting in those years.
Seeing more and more practitioners gathered in the Golden City, which exceeded their original estimate, Huangfu Lifeng asked people to transform a large military camp as a place to hold a sword appreciation meeting.
At three o'clock in the morning of May, after the four forces of Wumen, Luofu, Kunlun and Shushan came to the place where the sword appreciation meeting was held, Xiao Yu bowed to the Guangyuan Taoist in Shushan, then moved and jumped to the specially built high platform and took out the purple god he created for Guangyuan Taoist. Sword.
Although the people who watch the sword are at least 17 or 18 feet away from the sword, they can also see the extraordinaryness of the purple sword when they see that the purple sword can release the sword without being urged.
"This divine sword was built by Xiao in the fire of the center of the earth after 49 days. Although Xiao's forging skills are average, because the minerals taken out by Guangyuan's predecessors are really treasures of heaven and earth, Xiao was lucky enough to turn it into a magic soldier.
After saying this, Xiao Yu first picked up the purple magic sword and stimulated a long sword spirit with the divine sword, which attracted the people who watched the sword one after another. Then she arched her hand to the Guangyuan Taoist and said, "Please give a name to this divine sword!"
Guangyuan Taoist nodded, moved his body, and came down to Xiao Yu in a sword-like package.
He took the purple sword from Xiao Yu's hand. Guangyuan Taoist's wrist trembled slightly and wrote the word "Purple Shadow" in front of him with the sword.
The speed of Guangyuan Taoist writing with a sword seems to be very slow, and everyone can see it clearly; his writing speed seems to be very fast, and the two words appear almost in the eyes of everyone at the same time.
When everyone applauded the amazing skills of Guangyuan Taoist, they suddenly found that the two words condensed by sword gas stayed in the void for a while before slowly dissipating.
If the sword-appreciating meeting is just appreciating the sword, of course, it can't attract many practitioners. The real attraction of this sword-appreciating meeting is what Xiao Yu said about the sword.
After the Guangyuan Taoist got off the platform with the purple shadow sword, Xiao Yu said, "Tao has a hundred veins, and there are hundreds of skills. Learning from the skills of others, you can improve your stunts and the way you want. Xiao is not talented. He is willing to be the stubborn stone of pearls and jade. He will talk about his sword casting skills and sword skills. Please give me more advice.
Whether in casting or kendo, Xiao Yu can be regarded as a generation of masters at this time. Therefore, although he did not say anything substantive, most of the practitioners around him nodded gently, as if they understood Xiao Yu's words.
After a pause, Xiao Yu continued to say, "Xiao's family's words are quite biased. Please give me more advice."
Just as Xiao Yu was about to jump off the high platform, a huge figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Xiao Yu frowned and looked at the huge figure, but saw Bai Wenxuan's figure on the huge figure.
The huge figure is a white ape more than three feet tall. Its appearance is very scary. However, when everyone saw the white ape, they were not surprised, and it was Bai Wenxuan sitting on the shoulder of the white ape that made them so relieved.
Bai Wenxuan was dressed in a white scribe's uniform, with a modest smile on his face. The modest smile made people relax at a glance.
"What is he doing here? Do you want to compare swordsmanship with me in full view of the public?
Xiao Yu has no good impression of Bai Wenxuan, but he knows that Bai Wenxuan has an extraordinary history. In order not to cause any trouble, he has always deliberately made friends with Bai Wenxuan, but he will not tear his face with him.
In a soft white light, the white ape suddenly shrank to the size of a humanoid, while Bai Wenxuan came to the ground in the process of shrinking the white ape.
Except for a few people such as Xiao Yu, most of the practitioners present did not know how Bai Wenxuan came to the ground from the white ape, as if he was standing on the ground.
With a smile at the crowd, Bai Wenxuan turned to Xiao Yu and said, "General Xiao, Bai is late. Please don't be surprised."
"Bai Taixue laughed! Please!"
"Thank you very much!"
After thanking him, Bai Wenxuan took the white ape and walked straight to Huangfu Lifeng.
Bai Wenxuan walked fast, but no one felt that Bai Wenxuan was putting on airs.
Although most of the people present saw Bai Wenxuan's appearance when he entered the famous capital, they had heard of the matter of "the ape leading the horse, and the phoenix is famous". At that time, they could see Bai Wenxuan, and most of the practitioners had an inexplicable sense of excitement in their hearts.
When Bai Wenxuan sat down beside Huangfu Lifeng, Xiao Yu swept everyone's faces, smiled faintly, and then said, "Who wants to come to the stage?"
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, everyone turned their attention back to Xiao Yu.
Seeing that no one answered, Xiao Yu smiled faintly and said, "In Xiao's humble opinion, there will always be some defects in the Taoism practiced by every practice. Therefore, it is of great benefit for other practitioners to tell their own understanding of sword casting or kendo to correct it."
As soon as Xiao Yu's voice fell, Xuan Shuang answered, "General Xiao's words are not bad. However, if a practitioners want to go further, he needs to stick to his own way. How to find a balance between correcting his own way and sticking to his own way? This is what the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wise."
"Thank you for your advice!"
Arching her hand to Xuanshuang, Xiao Yu asked again, "Who would like to come to the stage?"
In fact, there are many practitioners who are willing to speak their own way of cultivation, but no one takes the lead, and most people hesitate in the process of rapid passage of time.
"It seems that I am not suitable for holding this kind of discussion meeting!"
Just as Xiao Yu smiled secretly, a white young man jumped to the high platform.
"Chang Geng!"
Xiao Yu's heart moved. First, she nodded gently to the Guangyuan Taoist, and then arched her hand slightly to the Changgeng Taoist. She moved and jumped off the platform.
Changgeng Taoist people have been exposed to swords since childhood, and naturally have their own understanding of swords.
After the Changgeng Taoist told his understanding of the sword, Xuanshuang and Fengxue Taoist commented on the Taoist Changgeng respectively, and finally did not let the sword appreciation meeting cool down.
When the Changgeng Taoist jumped off the platform, a middle-aged man with a long sword jumped to the platform.
This middle-aged man only has the cultivation of the innate level of gathering gods, and has no unique understanding of the way of cultivation. However, for Xiao Yu's face, Xuanshuang, Plateau and other people still commented on his Taoism, which benefited a lot from it.
As soon as the middle-aged man jumped off the platform, an elderly white-haired man with cultivation in the long life jumped off the platform.
At this time, the sword-appreciating meeting is really lively.
There is a saying that there are so-called three thousand avenues in the cultivation world, which can be understood that there are countless kinds of heavenly paths between heaven and earth, and it can also be understood that the paths that each monk practices are different.
Although there are not many real masters who come to participate in the sword appreciation party, those ordinary practitioners, and even those in the martial arts who walk in the secular world, their understanding of kendo also has some things worth thinking about by Xiao Yu and others.
When the sword appreciation meeting was lively, Bai Wenxuan jumped to the high platform.
Xiao Yu is not surprised that Bai Wenxuan will jump to the high platform, but he is curious about what Bai Wenxuan wants to talk about.
Unexpectedly, Bai Wenxuan went to the high platform and did not directly talk about his understanding of the sword, but turned his eyes to Xiao Yu.
"General Xiao is not only a master of kendo, but also knows how to cast swords. I want to have a special understanding of swords!"
Xiao Yu smiled faintly and replied loudly, "When you are free, you can cut vegetables and wood, and when you are in a hurry, you can cut your hand and cut your head. This is Xiao's understanding of the sword."
Everyone was stunned at first, and then laughed.
Xiao Yu's words were vulgar, but he also showed his understanding of the sword.
The sword itself is just an artifact.
Bai Wenxuan smiled bitterly and replied, "If the saints who used the sword as the weapon of the king's way in ancient times heard this, I don't know how they would feel?"
"If he is a real saint, he will smile as if he has never heard it; if he is a hypocrite who likes to influence other people's thoughts, he must have the idea of killing Xiao."
Bai Wenxuan nodded and replied, "A saint should indeed be generous and have a measure of different views. However, a saint has the duty to attract people all over the world to be good, but sometimes he needs to persuade others to accept his own views."
Xiao Yu had no intention to argue with Bai Wenxuan about who was right, so he did not accept Bai Wenxuan's words again.
Seeing that Xiao Yu did not answer his words, Bai Wenxuan did not lead Xiao Yu to speak again. He straightened his face and began to talk about his understanding of the sword.
"The sword has no will, but after the efforts of all the sages, kendo has become the way of a gentleman. Those who really know the sword and cherish the sword should use the gentleman's sword, do the gentleman's deeds, do good and drive away evil.
The gentleman's behavior set by the ancients is right. Therefore, since ancient times, most people who have been a gentleman have been respected, and people also like to be a gentleman.
When Bai Wenxuan abruptly said that the sword, an object that was no different from the knife, was a gentleman's weapon, there seemed to be a divine light on the faces of many practitioners present.
No matter what kind of people they have been and what they have done before, at this moment, they all feel that they are a gentleman because of their swords.
With this feeling, when these swordsman listened to Bai Wenxuan again, they almost regarded what Bai Wenxuan said as something comparable to the Treasure Book of the Divine Palace.
Just as the swordsman listened to Bai Wenxuan's moral words quietly, a gloomy voice sounded in everyone's ears.
