The sword is the meaning, and the meaning is the state of the sword."

"When I reach this state, even I don't exist. There is only the sword, and the sword is everything. This is the saying that 'there is nothing but the sword.'"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this point, Song Que glanced at Song Shidao and continued: "All things have their own laws. From a macro perspective, the movements of the sun, moon and stars are constant.

, extrapolating it to the rotation of the earth and the alternation of midnight and night, we can find constant laws."

"But if you probe into the smallest details, you will find that there are additional changes that are difficult to detect. It can be seen that things are always in a state of motion and change, and cannot be grasped with absolute accuracy, but only with relative accuracy.

to the point where there is something lacking.”

"How can life be perfect? ​​When heaven and earth were first divided, yin and yang established judgments, and men and women treated each other, they were all imperfect states. Yang advanced and yin retreated, yin grew and yang disappeared, rising and falling. What we pursue is what we can never achieve.

Perfection and balance. This is true between men and women, and the fame, fortune, wealth and power that ordinary people strive for are no exception. In the end, it is all the same."

"Everything in the world is yin and yang. For example, the other side of love is hate. As deep and complex as love is, hate will be as deep and complex as it is. It cannot be described with an absolute attitude. This principle can also be used in the way of swordsmanship.

of."

"But even though we can never reach a truly perfect state, we can still start from the defective parts and strive for their constancy in the ever-changing world. We should not be stuck in things, forget about things and myself, and be free and easy."

"After the union of heaven, earth and man, people are no longer human, and swords are no longer swords. Only in this way can we make further progress, from "there is nothing else except the sword" to the state of "getting the sword and forgetting it"

, reaching the true ultimate state of sword art that I have thought about in recent years."

Hearing this, Song Shidao couldn't help but feel shocked. He realized that although his father was inspired by the idea after getting the stone bi left by Zhao Qing, and passed the sword to the talented Li Jing, secretly he also taught him that he had no shortcomings.

The meaning of reason.

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

Before Song Shidao could react, he immediately turned his head and looked at the Jianghuai Army's camp a few miles away, as if making a prophecy: "Don't reply to me yet, Du Fuwei is about to attack the city, and it will be a once-in-a-lifetime attack."

An unprecedented full-scale attack by the entire army.”

…

Under the brilliant starry sky, Liyang City was in darkness, and the soldiers and civilians at the top of the city were silently waiting for the enemy's arrival in the darkness.

Zhao Qing looked at the distant plain outside the city wall, where the torches were trembling like thousands of fireflies and extending like a long dragon. He heard the chaotic and heavy footsteps of a large number of troops in action, and sighed softly.

Not because of the inevitable massive casualties of the Jianghuai Army and the Sui soldiers in Liyang City, but because they heard Song Que telling Song Shidao from afar, and Li Jing describing his own swordsmanship, and knew that this Heavenly Swordsman had seen her in the stone.

After Bizhong left behind the essence of the "Sword Code" and "Zhiyin Wuji", he had a strong idea to challenge himself.

It has to be said that since Fan Qinghui has not read the "Release Technique" in "Sword Code" in detail, the similar "Changing Consciousness" chapter in "Changing Days" gave her great inspiration and understanding of the mind.

He is quite good at using it. With the blessing of inner power, the scope of "Tian Er Tong" has been expanded a lot.

After vaguely sensing that Song Shidao carried the stone slab to the west for three to four hundred miles and then started to turn back, Zhao Qing guessed the general situation and knew that he should have met Song Que who had appeared in Jiujiang for some reason.

.

After obtaining the stone bi, Song Que obviously gained a lot of understanding about it and perfected his theory of "forgetting the sword after getting it". As she imagined, Song Que quickly rushed in her direction, wanting to see her.

one side.

However, although the other party took a boat down the river, he had already disembarked 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.

She didn't 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 most talented woman in the world who is as famous as Shi Qingxuan, is also the daughter of the adopted daughter of "Ba Dao" Yue Shan. She will be invited by the imperial court to come to Liyang to sing in the near future to encourage the soldiers and civilians of Liyang City, hoping to increase their ability to defend.

motivation on.

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

Secondly, Wang Shichong, who is currently the general guard of Jiangdu, is currently mobilizing his own troops under Yang Guang's order and is about to march from the waterway to provide support to Liyang City. It won't take long to temporarily take over as the guard of Liyang.

Location.

For Zhao Qing, who was preparing to obtain the "Wisdom Sutra on the Roots of Controlling All Dharmas" from his possession, it was like it was delivered to his door, and there was no need to go out and look for it.

In addition, as far as she knows, Li Jing, the top military talent in the Tang Dynasty, should be working as a soldier under Du Fuwei now. When the time comes, 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 skills were obviously not very good, and he could only barely defeat the five second- and third-rate characters in Du Fuwei's law enforcement team.

But a few years later, Li Jing became famous after arriving at Tiance Mansion, and he was ranked only below Hong Fu Nu. This shows that his martial arts has improved so quickly, it is even comparable to Shuanglong who practices the Taoist book of longevity and has many adventures.

In the later period, he became the number one master in Tiance Mansion.

The "Ten Styles of Bloody War" he created were incorporated into the sword, and the sword was incorporated into the art of war. As Li Jing's cultivation and level of art of war continued to improve, he could be regarded as another version of Kou Zhong with fewer adventures and weakened military force.

This person had the ambition to save the country and benefit the people, and worked hard for it. He was affectionate and kind, and his character was higher than that of Shuanglong. He was considered a very outstanding figure in the Tang Dynasty.

It's no wonder that Zhao Qing now 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 or death would be uncertain at that time.

Under such circumstances, there is a vague intention of inheriting the way of swordsmanship.

However, judging from Li Jing's experience, is Huike, the second ancestor of Zen Buddhism, actually still alive now? Zhao Qing was thoughtful and whispered to himself:

"There is no way to do it, intentionally or unintentionally, if you get the sword and forget the sword, the 'Heavenly Sword' has been divided into several levels in the practice of swordsmanship. Each level and step is quite clear. It has indeed reached an almost perfect state, which can be called this world.

One of the most outstanding swordsman masters of all time."

There is law and intention, which is about the level of Bian Buhua, Wen Caiting and others; unable and unintentional, it is the level of Zhu Yuyan, Zhao Deyan and others. If it is between intention and unintentional, it needs to be empty, Fan Qinghui and others are close to the great masters

Only a master can maintain it.

If you move from "there is nothing else except giving up the sword" to the realm of "getting the sword and forgetting it", where no one has a sword, then you will have reached the highest level among the great masters, and the distance is equivalent to the infinite.

The true "unity of man and nature" is only half a step away.

Although the practice at the Grand Master stage and even higher levels actually differs from person to person, there is not only one path. For example, Zhao Qing starts from Yin and Yang Wuji and the sublimation of sword intention, rather than "obtaining the sword" and "forgetting".

sword";

However, Song Que's path of sword practice is an extremely profound conceptual direction, and is more universal than the peerless magical skills in the general sense. As long as it can be passed down, the "Heavenly Sword" method will never be extinguished, but

Let the younger generations use this to realize the secret knowledge that is most suitable for them.

Coming to the other side of Liyang City, Zhao Qing's eyes seemed to penetrate a distance of more than ten miles, directly seeing clearly the situation of Song Que and his party, and commented sincerely:

"It seems that it won't be long, maybe in the next trial move, he can combine the information I left, make a new breakthrough, stabilize the 'Forget the Sword' state, and even rely on his understanding of the missing and perfect

, truly entering the realm of heaven and man.”

…

The fields outside the city wall were littered with corpses, seeming to recount the brutal siege that had lasted for more than a month. The vast city fields were dotted with flames and boundless. The sound of war drums and horns, and the sound of horseshoes and wheels, resounded throughout the world.

Du Fuwei's central army set out from a hillock, with cavalry as the main force and heavily equipped armored troops as the auxiliary. The forward army was composed of shield soldiers, archers, axemen and engineering soldiers, and was equipped with wood, ladders, and towers.

Chariots and other necessary tools for siege.

The left and right flank armies each have five thousand men and one type of cavalry. There are two troops in the rear of the central army, which can not only defend the rear route, but also serve as reinforcements.

At this time, the bright moon was rising in the sky, reflecting the cold light of the weapons, adding to the atmosphere of killing. These troops were advancing rapidly towards Liyang City, obviously preparing to launch a large-scale night attack.

The war drums sounded, and more than 70 iron-branded vertical vehicles, designed to block arrows, began to move in the direction of Jingling. Behind each vehicle were more than ten archers. As long as they reached the appropriate distance, they could move from a vertical platform up to two feet high.

Shoot arrows toward the city from behind the iron plate to cover other people's attacks.

The carriages began to advance, moving toward the city wall like tall towers. Since the soldiers on the carriages were similar in height to the top of the wall, they could not only cover the entire city within the range of arrows, but when they approached the city wall, the warriors

You can also directly step onto the wall and attack the city.

The trumpet sounded loudly. Hundreds of catapults, driven by thousands of fortification soldiers, arrived first, passed the building trucks, and chased after the arrow-blocking iron trucks. Tens of thousands of Jianghuai troops shouted at the same time, war horses

The wild roar caused the situation outside Liyang City to change color.

Accompanied by the sound of drums, arrows rained down, and thousands of arrows shot towards Liyang City like raindrops. They were all rockets, drawing countless beautiful fireworks trails in the sky. They were indeed beautiful to look at, but full of destructiveness.

threatening meaning.

Following the rockets, huge boulders were thrown towards the wall like locusts, and the fire lit up the night sky. The soldiers and civilians on the city hid behind the city wall or defensive planks. Amidst the roar, the huge boulders hit the top of the city wall, and stone debris flew everywhere, which was shocking.

Heart.

For a moment, the situation was extremely tragic. The originally dark sky was all red with torch light. There were shouts of killing inside and outside the city, the sound of trebuchets, the screeching sound of wheels rubbing against the ground, and stones hitting the ground.

Or a rumble on the wall.

Zhao Qing casually shattered a few boulders that were thrown at him, which might affect the residents in the city. Zhao Qing quickly noticed a tall, thin old man in the Jianghuai Army with a high crown on his head, about fifty years old, and a clumsy and rigid face.

This person is almost a head taller than the others. He has his hands behind his back and is surrounded by dozens of martial arts masters. He is coldly observing the battle situation in Liyang City at this time. He is obviously the underworld overlord who controls the Yangtze River and Huaihe River.

"Du Fuwei.

Even though he has the ability to kill the opponent with thousands of troops, considering that the Jianghuai army will inevitably disperse in all directions after losing its leader, and the military discipline will be disordered to loot the surrounding areas, Zhao Qing does not have enough men to restrain and control the rebel army.

, are not ready to take action at the moment.

To calm down the troubled times and restore peace to the world, although it is Zhao Qing's current goal, it does not make her devote herself to it anytime and anywhere, and make continuous attacks. It is an incidental behavior while practicing.

However, a considerable number of the Sui soldiers who defended the city may have committed evil acts of oppressing the people, but the residents of Liyang City were innocent, so when Du Fuwei led his army to attack the city, she took action to block it.

Some flying stones and arrows also indirectly revealed their existence.

Glancing at Shi Qingxuan next to him, who had been unable to use a lot of internal energy recently due to the "Day Change **", Zhao Qing returned his attention to Song Que's talk in the distance, and said calmly:
Chapter completed!
