Several months later, at the Qianxiu Peak of Mount Yi.
A sword rack was placed on a large table in the hall, and the most precious materials of the five elements were placed around it. A flying sword was bending at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye on the sword rack … Lou Xiaoyi, who was at the side, had his face flushed red due to excessive use of the power of the Dao realm of the five elements.
"I can't do it. My power of the five elements is still too weak. I only have the shape, but not the essence. If I want to use it well, I need you!"
Spiritual Master Nan laughed, "I can't do it either! This old man is barely good at Yin and Yang, but in terms of the five elements, I only have a little bit more cultivation than you. In fact, my understanding is not much better, so I won't make a fool of myself!
Little Yi, I have never seen someone who has the same understanding of the five elements as you at the Jin Dan stage. Not bad, not bad. You didn't go to Thousand Ji Valley to make trouble. If you could have gotten the Five Elements Mountain, it would have been perfect! "
Lou Xiaoyi took a sip of the wine cup on the table. Spiritual Master Nan was also known as Spiritual Master Jiu. His wine was not ordinary, but now it was only used to quench his thirst, which made the owner feel a little heartache!
"Martial Uncle, you really dare to say that! If I really got it, would you dare to take it? I'm afraid the Three Pure Ones Army will follow soon! Later, you will blame me for being careless! "
Spiritual Master Nan smiled, "I have also heard senior Perfected Cultivator talk about this sword plate. It is also a direction of Sword Vein inheritance, but it is still far from perfection! In terms of its nature, it is more or less the same. After hundreds and thousands of years of practice, it is a competition of cultivation, spirit, Tao Realm, and understanding of the Great Dao. As for where the sword comes from, whether it comes from the sword case or from the Dantian, even if it comes from the valley, it is just a different channel. The essence is unchanged! "
Lou Xiaoyi asked for advice, "Martial Uncle, when I was in the stomach of the sea beast, the sword case didn't come out! It makes people very depressed. They have the strength but can't use it, so they always want to find a way to use the sword that ignores the realm. It is better than being captured! If it was a Swordsman, would he be suppressed and not be able to use the sword pill? "
The Southern Spiritual Master poked him, "You shouldn't think like that! Why did he have to use his sword in front of a cultivator who was one level higher than him? This was not a good habit! Our Xuanyuan's philosophy is that I have the ability to use my sword, but this is only the last resort!
Do you feel that you are too weak and have the heart of the sword of someone who has lost his sword? "
Lou Xiaoyi nodded. If he was still in the state of a rice worm when he was in Foundation Establishment, it wouldn't be a big deal if he couldn't unsheathe his sword. But now that he was striding towards the path of a pure Swordsman, he couldn't take it anymore!
Reverend Nan sighs, "You should know that the ancient inheritance of Xuanyuan! We are deviants who broke away from the Daoist Sect, so it is reasonable for us to be called the Devil Sect!
At that time, we didn't care about Sword Heart, nor did we care about Devil Heart. Everything was for the sake of survival, and then kill you! For this, he would do anything! There was no such thing as strength of character. When we should kneel, we shouldn't stand. That was our true way of doing things!
Later, it didn't work. Everyone had to talk about Dao Heart. If we didn't talk about Dao Heart, we would be condemned by everyone, and we wouldn't be able to survive. So we started to change … If we could change a Dao tradition, why couldn't you?
Then there was the saying of Sword Heart. It was nothing more than flaunting that we wouldn't use unscrupulous means to do things!
But you should know that if you want to survive, how could you not use unscrupulous means? So you must distinguish between what you say and what you do! "
These were words that only those who truly treated him as one of their own would say. Perhaps they wouldn't recognize him after leaving the house, but these were the old Daoist's experiences for nearly a thousand years.
"Something like Sword Heart might appear one day when you become a Sword Immortal, but before that, you definitely can't have it! You have to constantly remind yourself that I haven't become an Immortal yet, and that I will still die. So occasionally not having Sword Heart is normal. That is the true Sword Heart. Do you understand? "
Lou Xiaoyi laughed. "Just say it directly. Treat Sword Heart as a lofty goal that can never be accomplished. That's just for people to hear. You can achieve your goal however you want in private. Is that what you mean?"
The Nan Daoist's smile remained. "So don't develop the habit of being wronged! I am a Swordsman. I would rather die standing than live kneeling. How old are you to still believe this? If you can live like a coward, then live first. At worst, you can just find an opportunity to make up for it.
So what I mean to say to you is that when you encounter an unsolvable danger that far surpasses your opponent, you should first choose whether or not you can live like a coward, and then consider whether or not you can use your sword!
If this order is reversed and you develop a habit, how many lives do you have left to fill it with? "
Seeing Lou Xiaoyi deep in thought, the old Daoist continued, "A person's life is a life of helplessness. The most hateful thing is that kind of saying that encourages people to live without shame to the heavens, without shame to the earth!
You deserve to be called the heavens. You shouldn't have been born! You deserve to be called the earth. You should have starved to death! People need to know reverence! More importantly, they need to learn to cover up their own brilliance. This is the prerequisite to be able to go on forever! "
Seeing this little guy lowering his head and pondering, the old Daoist spat in satisfaction. He was talking in a roundabout way. It could be said the same way, or it could be said the other way round.
As a senior guide, he was very clear about the meaning of education. It was not for the pursuit of truth, but for balance!
If it was someone like the ice guest, who had the mental state of most Swordsman from Mount Xiao, he would have to say the opposite of what he said today! You have to talk about Sword Heart with people! Talk about the glory of Xuanyuan! Talk about the spirit of no turning back! Talk about the momentum of who else but me! Because they lack this!
Make up for what they lack. This is the foundation of education!
But for this little guy in front of him, his problem was that his spirit was strong enough. It was so strong that it was not limited to his own realm, but wanted to pass the sword to a higher realm! In such a situation, he had to pour cold water on him to wake him up. He did not want him to go crazy and lose his life in the end!
Just like riding a horse, when to use the whip and spur, and when to rein in the horse to chew the horse's head, it all depended on the situation. This was what a good guide should do.
If you had to lash the whip on a wild horse that was running wildly, there was no other possibility other than exhausting it to death!
If you had to reason with a lazy horse and tighten the rein, there was no other possibility other than it running slower and less capable!
Going with the flow and teaching according to the student's aptitude was the best way to achieve a valuable balance. Only then could the horse run faster and longer!
This little guy was very much to his liking! He did not need to worry about the direction of his martial arts. Now, his Five Elements Transformation was almost as good as a senior Yuanying. He was bold and careful when doing things. He knew how to weigh the pros and cons. He knew that he should not use force to decide everything. He was not a reckless man. This was what he valued the most!
Swordsman should not play mind games with the Dharma lineage! But at the very least, you must have your own balance! The Dharma lineage was hoping that you would become a bloodthirsty man. At that time, the Dharma lineage would not even need to make a move. The Heavenly Dao would take care of you!
What he wanted to stop was this little guy's confidence that had gradually swelled because everything had been going smoothly for him!
Confidence was a good thing. When it swelled, it was like a bubble that would burst with a poke! The little guy himself could not feel it. This was a complicated and slow process. This was the time for an experienced old cultivator like him to show the meaning of his existence!
He was very willing! Because this was Xuanyuan's future!
