Chapter 1380 Divine Ape Kenshin
“Why can he always see through my moves at critical moments?”
Liang Yan had doubts in his heart.
He had been planning the attack just now for a long time. The three sword pills cooperated with each other, and the changes in the sword moves had already forced the eight-armed sword ape to a dead end.
If the Eight-Armed Sword Ape has any powerful magical powers or magic weapons and relies on pure strength to defend himself against attacks, then he has nothing to say.
But this monster ape didn't use any means. He just dodged or parried in a moment, and actually defeated all his attacks!
At this moment, Liang Yan suddenly had a strange feeling in his mind.
It seems that his sword moves have slowed down. Although his killing moves come one after another, there is no threat in the eyes of the opponent.
This demon ape has always been calm and unhurried. Even if he is enveloped by the sword light, he does not feel the slightest sense of crisis, because he knows that he can always be one step faster than Liang Yan's flying sword.
“Why is this happening”
Liang Yan couldn't figure out the mystery.
Actually, my flying sword is not slow, and my opponent's speed is not that fast either. It's just that every time the Eight-Armed Sword Ape is in danger, he can always see through his own intentions in advance and be one step ahead of him. Make changes and finally resolve it calmly.
"Are you confused? Why are your killing moves always one step behind me?"
Just when Liang Yan was secretly frightened, the Eight-Armed Sword Ape suddenly spoke. .
“Huh?”
Liang Yan raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that in this life-and-death fight, this monster ape would actually have the heart to talk.
Zheng!
The two exchanged a move again, and then invariably distanced themselves, temporarily stopping the fight.
"I do have this doubt. Are you willing to help me clear it up?" Liang Yan kept the sword pill beside him, and then followed the other person's words and asked tentatively.
"Haha, your sword moves are very good, and I have seen another kind of style. And the reason why I can avoid all your attacks in advance is because of my Divine Ape Sword Heart."< br>
"Shen Yuan Jian Xin."
Liang Yan was slightly startled when he heard this, but he immediately reacted, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "You mean you have entered the Jian Xin realm?!"< br>
“Not bad!”
The Eight-Armed Sword Ape did not deny it, nodded and said: "When Tianji Pavilion was still there, I was already a sword cultivator in the Sword Heart Realm. It's a pity that Tianji Pavilion was destroyed and I was trapped here. After all, I couldn't bear the passage of time and became what I am now."
The tone of the demon ape is very sad, a bit unwilling, and a bit lonely.
Although Liang Yan remained calm on the surface, he was extremely shocked inside.
This was the first time he met a sword cultivator in the Sword Heart Realm!
In the past few years, I have been walking alone on the road of swordsmanship. Although I have seen some amazing and talented people, most of them are just short-lived. Looking back now, those people I thought were amazing back then are now in his sight. Everyone was lost in his eyes.
I didn’t expect that at this moment, in the ruins of Tianji Pavilion, I would meet a senior who had cultivated the sword mind in the form of a monster!
In fact, Liang Yan has long seen that the eight-armed sword ape in its heyday must be stronger than himself.
You must know that the most important thing for a sword cultivator is the flying sword, which is vital to his life. It can be said that most of his magical powers are on the sword.
However, the eight-armed sword ape in front of him had already destroyed his flying sword. He only relied on eight "iron knots" to fight him back and forth. From this, it can be seen that the opponent How strong was it in its heyday?
"Although Liang has reached the level of Sword Heart Realm, he still hasn't touched the threshold of this realm. He always feels elusive and elusive." Liang Yan shook his head and murmured.
"That's because you haven't realized your own way yet." The Eight-Armed Sword Ape smiled slightly: "If I read it correctly, you should have learned more than one swordsmanship technique, and these swordsmanship skills Isn't he weak?"
"How do you know?" Liang Yan raised his eyebrows, with a hint of caution in his eyes.
"Haha, don't be surprised. When you reach the sword mind state, you can be like me."
When the Eight-Armed Sword Ape said this, his smile suddenly dropped and his face became serious. "Although you have learned a lot, what others have belongs to others. If you don't realize your own way of swordsmanship, you will end up here!"
"What did you say? Your own way of swordsmanship?" "
"Yes, it's the way of swordsmanship, not the art of swordsmanship!" the eight-armed sword ape replied seriously.
This statement made Liang Yan's heart move.
He had also seen similar records in "The Dance of Fish and Dragon", but this sword technique was unpredictable, and the further it went, the harder it became for him to understand. Until today, through the guidance of the Eight-Armed Sword Ape, he had a vague understanding.
"The way of the sword is different from the ten thousand ways, and it is not among the three thousand ways. How can I find it?" Liang Yan asked sincerely.
After hearing this, the Eight-Armed Sword Ape smiled slightly: "As the saying goes, 'Where the sky rises, the sword is born!' The sword is the ultimate way. If you want to find the way of the sword, it is not in external objects, but in you. In the heart. The world refines weapons, the real person cultivates. The body, the spirit and the human being are in harmony! And the state of mind of the sword is the first step to the harmony of the 'Tao'! "
"Want to find the 'Tao' of the sword? "
Liang Yan His face moved slightly, and he suddenly realized something in his heart.
"Haha, not bad!"
Seeing Liang Yan's reaction, the Eight-Armed Sword Ape showed a look of relief on his face.
Next, his voice sounded again, and in the empty room, it actually seemed a little ethereal.
“Three thousand avenues are the door to all wonders. In fact, all sentient beings in the world are working tirelessly to explore the truths of the avenues. They all originate from the mysteries of the universe, but only the way of swordsmanship is different!”
8 When the brachial ape said this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Liang Yan, and said slowly: " The way of swordsmanship we pursue is not to explore any laws in the world, but to explore yourself. When you reach that level, you will find that you are the universe, and the three thousand laws are just dust in your universe. If you are willing, you will find that you are the universe. , a willow branch can defeat all kinds of magic! ”
"Am I the universe?"
When Liang Yan heard this, what he had already understood suddenly became illusory again, and his eyes became confused again.
"It seems it's too early to tell you this." Seeing his expression, the Eight-Armed Sword Ape shook his head and sighed:
"That's all, as long as you know, 'Sword 'It's just an appearance, and 'skill' is just a means. The most fundamental difference between swordsmanship and other avenues is actually the different directions of exploration."
After hearing the words of the eight-armed sword ape, Liang Yan suddenly thought of something, and his face showed. A thoughtful look.
"The three thousand avenues are not connected to each other. For example, the four major traditions of the origin of human race cannot be practiced at the same time under normal circumstances. However, monks from any of the Buddhist, demonic, Taoist, or Confucian schools can practice swordsmanship. Is this the reason? ”
“That’s right! You understood it quickly!”
Eight-armed Sword Ape! Suddenly he laughed: "No matter what sect you are from, you can practice swordsmanship, because swordsmanship does not belong to any law in this world, but a way to control yourself."
"That's it. ."
Liang Yan murmured, his eyes wandering, as if he was caught in his own epiphany.
Although what the demon ape said was not much and sounded very simple, only those who have truly practiced swordsmanship and reached Liang Yan's level can understand the secrets of the great way.
It is as if a faint ray of dawn shines through the abyss of chaos!
This kind of epiphany is extremely rare and cannot be disturbed. If the Eight-Armed Sword Ape attacks at this time, Liang Yan will fall short.
However, unexpectedly, the Eight-Armed Sword Ape did not attack Liang Yan, but sat cross-legged on the spot, seemingly waiting for him.
After a long time, Liang Yan's wandering eyes gradually regained their clarity.
He looked at the demon ape in front of him, suddenly stood up, and bowed to the opponent to the ground.
"Thank you for your advice, senior."
By now, Liang Yan has been able to confirm that this eight-armed sword ape does not want to be his enemy. If it wants to be detrimental to him, it can take action just now. , will not give yourself a chance to have an epiphany.
"It seems you understand a lot."
The Eight-Armed Sword Ape accepted his salute calmly, with a smile on his face.
"I just have a superficial understanding and see a little direction of progress on this foggy road." Liang Yan answered truthfully.
“It’s good to have a direction.”
The Eight-Armed Sword Ape smiled and nodded. He was about to say something more, but suddenly he coughed violently.
"Cough! Cough!"
The Eight-Armed Sword Ape covered its mouth with both hands, its face distorted by the severe pain, and its strong sword intention could not suppress the injuries in its body. It's like a dying person forcing himself to hold on for the last moment.
Liang Yan didn't expect that the Eight-Armed Sword Ape had such serious injuries in his body. He didn't even notice it when he took action just now!
Looking carefully, black liquid actually flowed out from the gaps between the fingers that the demon ape used to cover his mouth, and he had seen this liquid in the previous rooms.
Five-colored peacocks, double-faced ghost vultures, fish-scale beasts, and demonic wind dragons, these zombie-like monsters all have this mysterious black liquid in their bodies.
"Senior Sword Ape, you."
Liang Yan's eyes showed concern, but before he could finish speaking, the Eight-Armed Sword Ape waved his hand and slowly He said, "I can't suppress it anymore. We don't have much time left." "What is 'it'?" Liang Yan raised his eyebrows and asked immediately.
"For us monsters who should have died long ago, 'it' is the holy water from the top." When the eight-armed sword ape said this, he shook his head, with a wry smile on his face.
"Holy water? Is it because you drank this thing that you have been alive until now?" Liang Yan seemed to understand something.
“Not bad.”
As if thinking of the past, a trace of pain flashed in the eyes of the Eight-Armed Sword Ape.
"After the destruction of Tianji Pavilion, the soul cards of us monsters were locked on the fifth floor. We couldn't escape from the Thousand Ji Demon Tower and could only die here."
"For this matter, Everyone was in despair, and as time passed, some demon clans that were not sufficiently advanced began to die one after another. , until one day, a mysterious black water flowed from the fifth layer, completely changing everything here."
Seeing that the Eight-Armed Sword Ape was finally willing to reveal the secrets of this layer, Liang Yan's His eyes also became serious, and he did not interrupt the other party's words, but just stood quietly and listened.
“.At that time, there was a demon clan who was already about to die, but by some mistake, he drank this mysterious black water and immediately regained his vitality and added strength to himself. ”
“After this news came out, all the demons. The beasts are all crazy about it. They call this black water 'Moon Water'. 'Moon' means 'eternity' in our monster tribe. Some monsters also call it 'holy water'. In short, in order to continue their lives. , many monsters drank this black water flowing from the upper level, even me."
When the eight-armed sword ape said this, he sighed softly and said, "Even I am no exception."
After listening to what it said, and combined with what he had seen and heard before, Liang Yan could vaguely guess that Some.
After a moment of silence, Liang Yan slowly said: "What changes will happen after drinking this water?"
"You will lose yourself."
Eight The brachiosaurus closed his eyes, seemingly regretting it.
"Although Painted Moon Water can increase lifespan, there is a force in the water that we cannot control. Soon after drinking Painted Moon Water, many demon clans experienced mutations, as if they turned into puppets of some unknown existence. Start frantically attacking those monsters who didn't drink the 'Moon Water'."
“I witnessed all this with my own eyes, watching my former friends turn into walking corpses. I still can’t let go of that feeling.”
“But I know that I will eventually It would be the same as them. Sure enough, it didn’t take long for me to feel something inside me. A force has revived, and it wants to replace me. I am not immortal, I am just a container for it!"
"Fortunately, I have cultivated the sword heart at the critical moment. It has kept me awake and has been helping me suppress the monster in my body all these years. Just every other For a period of time, I would still go crazy and lose control of myself. In order to prevent myself from turning into a butcher who killed indiscriminately, I took the initiative to destroy my natal flying sword and imprisoned myself here.”
After what the Eight-Armed Sword Ape said, Liang Yan was shocked to the extreme.
Because the content in its words was too bizarre, Liang Yan would never have believed it if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.
"Painted Moon Water Infinite Lifespan Container."
Liang Yan quickly digested the information revealed by the Eight-Armed Sword Ape, and suddenly felt that the danger level of the Thousand Machine Demonic Tower was far beyond the limit. More than I imagined.
Looking back now, the top ten geniuses are willing to enter this place, it is really the ignorant who are fearless
The Eight-Armed Sword Ape glanced at him, as if he guessed his inner thoughts, and shook his head He shook his head and said: "It's useless. Once you enter this level, you can't go back again." There is no way to get in or out from the fourth floor. If you want to get out of here, you must get past the guard on the fifth floor. That guard is selfless. Even if Tianji Pavilion is destroyed, he will still perform his duties and you have to defeat him. , is almost impossible.”
"I can't look back anymore?" Liang Yan murmured.
In fact, he had already expected that this floor was a huge maze, and it was constantly changing. There was no way back at all.
The "Prison of Beasts" is the "prison" of monsters and the "prison" of intruders like them.
"It seems that there is only one way for me to go, and that is to defeat the guards on the fifth floor!" Liang Yan did not panic because of this, but became more determined.
“Well, this is the only way you can save yourself, I hope you can do it.”
The eight-armed sword ape nodded, and then continued: "But before that, I want to use my last time to take you to experience the mystery of the sword's mind."
As soon as he finished speaking, the demon ape's eyes It opened wide, and a powerful spiritual power burst out from its body, and it came to Liang Yan in an instant.
Although Liang Yan was a little surprised, he quickly realized that the other party was not malicious, but had something to show to him.
After realizing the demon ape's intention, Liang Yan also closed his eyes, silently let go of his consciousness, and entered the demon ape's spiritual thoughts
Tick!
A drop of water fell into the river, causing ripples. The two figures reflected in the ripples were Liang Yan and the Eight-Armed Sword Ape.
"This is my sword heart world." The eight-armed sword ape said slowly.
Liang Yan nodded silently and looked around. He saw the vast expanse of the sky and the earth. Everything was extremely clear. From the mountains and rivers to the small textures on the flowers, plants and trees, everything could be seen clearly.
“Look there.”
The Eight-Armed Sword Ape spoke again, but his finger pointed at the river below the two of them.
Liang Yan looked in the direction he pointed and found that there were water bubbles of different sizes under the calm water surface of the river, and he was actually reflected inside one of the water bubbles.
"Huh?"
Liang Yan's face showed a look of interest, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked carefully into the inside of the blister.
Not only him, but also the Eight-Armed Sword Ape.
One man and one demon were fighting fiercely, and the moves they used were very familiar. They were clearly replays of the sword fight between the two sides just now.
At that time, he had completely suppressed the eight-armed sword ape. Three sword pills were shot out at the same time, attacking the opponent's three flaws. It could be said that it was a fatal situation.
But then, the Eight-Armed Sword Ape calmly cracked his own killing move.
Liang Yan now looked at it from the perspective of the demon ape, and found that his moves were surprisingly slow, so slow that just raising his hand seemed to take a cup of tea.
It is precisely for this reason that from the moment Liang Yan raised his hand, the Eight-Armed Sword Ape already knew how he was going to move and move his sword next.
"Is this your Divine Ape Sword Heart?" Liang Yan seemed to understand something.
"Yes, it seems that you have understood that 'Shen Monkey Kenshin' can slow down the opponent's movements, see clearly the operation of spiritual power, and allow me to counterattack in the shortest time."
"Let go Slowing down the opponent's movements and seeing clearly the movement of spiritual power, is this the mystery of the sword's mind?" Liang Yan had a hint of envy in his eyes.
The power of Kenshin is indeed extraordinary. Just now, the Eight-Armed Sword Monkey has completely seen through his own moves. However, it was seriously injured and did not have a flying sword in its hand. If there was a flying sword in hand, it might have been killed. I killed myself several times.
Looking at the faint look of envy in Liang Yan's eyes, the Eight-Armed Sword Ape shook his head and said slowly: "'The Divine Ape Sword Heart' is just the sword heart of our Eight-Armed Sword Ape clan. , after you human monks break through, the sword hearts you obtain are different. They are stronger swords than ours. There are more than one kind of heart, the key depends on how you realize it."
Liang Yan heard this statement for the first time and couldn't help but ask: "Is everyone's sword heart different? So how many types of swords are there? Which one is the strongest? ”
"This question of yours stumps me." The Eight-Armed Sword Ape said with a smile: "The way of swordsmanship is a nearly lost method. Sword cultivators who can cultivate to the state of sword mind are even rarer. I have only seen the old ape in my life. Over two People, their sword hearts are: 'Fixless Sword Heart' and 'Transparent Sword Heart'. As for the others, I don't know."
Liang Yan heard the words of the Eight-Armed Sword Ape, and the same thing happened. Feeling deeply, he nodded slightly.
Looking back on the past, since he started practicing swordsmanship, he has encountered very few swordsmen. At the beginning, when I was in the two realms of Establishment and Juyuan, I could still meet some so-called "proud men of heaven" and "geniuses of swordsmanship". However, after I reached the Jindan realm and Tongxuan realm, I met only a handful of sword cultivators. However, he has never met a sword cultivator in the Tribulation Realm since then.
Of course, the eight-armed sword ape in front of you can be counted as one. It's a pity that its natal flying sword has been destroyed and its body is severely injured. It may not be able to exert one-tenth of its power as it was in its heyday.
So along the way of swordsmanship, he has always been walking alone. If it were not a coincidence that he obtained the secret book of the skills of the senior swordsman, no matter how talented Liang Yan was, he would have wasted his time.
"The human continent is vast, and there are many masters! I believe that there are many masters of swordsmanship in this world. In this Antarctic Continent alone, there are countless types of sword hearts." Liang Yan expressed his opinion.
"Maybe." The Eight-Armed Sword Ape shrugged and said indifferently: "Old Ape, I have been imprisoned here for how many years. I can't even remember it. Even if the outside world has become more kendo Daxing, what does it have to do with me?”
“Hey, I’m off topic!”
The Eight-Armed Sword Ape suddenly thought of something, stretched out his hand and slapped his forehead. Se said solemnly:
"Bringing you to my Sword Heart world is not only to let you experience the mystery of the Sword Heart state in advance, but also to warn you that using multiple flying swords will cause the Sword Heart to collapse. When you break through the sword mind in the future, you will definitely go crazy. The only way is to keep only one of the flying swords from now on and discard all the other flying swords!"
"What did you say?" Liang Yan's face changed slightly after hearing this.
He practices the "Shadowless Sword Sutra" and can control multiple natal flying swords. It has always been a powerful killing move, but today someone told him that if he wanted to take another step forward, he must give it up. Drop most of the flying swords.
Although he didn't want to believe this fact, by observing the sword heart world of the Eight-Armed Sword Ape, Liang Yan could vaguely feel that the other party did not lie to him.
The reason why this demon ape brought himself here is to tell himself this truth.
Liang Yan was conflicted to the extreme. The flying swords in Taixu Gourd, whether it was the Purple Thunder Tianyin Sword, the Black Lotus Sword or the Dingguang Sword, had all been carefully refined by him. They were the best of the best, called He was unwilling to give up any of them.
Moreover, after practicing the "Phaseless Sword Sutra" for so many years, Liang Yan has long been accustomed to controlling multiple flying swords at the same time. When four sword pills are combined together, the power exerted is more than doubled?
To ask him to give up three of the sword pills now is tantamount to cutting off his arms!
"Is there no other way?" Liang Yan asked unwillingly.
