Chapter 699: The Heart of the Sword is Unknown
“Elder Brother has not come out for a few days.”
In the Xuanmeng General Forum, several disciples walked past the library and turned to look at the locked door. A male disciple whispered: "The door is also locked, and we can't even send food in."
"Yes." Another female disciple said with emotion: "I'm really afraid that he is exhausted."< br>
They had no doubt that Hua Wuying was eating alone with those secret books.
"Senior Brother is going to chew up all the secret books and feed them to us."
Another disciple smiled bitterly: "Actually, we can do it ourselves... Why would he do this?"
< br>"If he doesn't come out tomorrow, let's call the door."
The female disciple just now said worriedly: "I'm really worried that something will happen to his health..."
"Elder brother himself I know it well.”
The male disciple who spoke first shook his head and said: "Let's hurry up and prepare for the Xuan Alliance Ceremony."
"The prefect is also very loyal. He has sent many people to patrol recently, and no one comes to make trouble anymore. "
"But I don't know why, I always feel that the officers and soldiers look at us a little fiercely..."
"Oh, soldiers are like this, don't think so much."< br>
The few people talked and gradually walked away.
In the library, Hua Wuying, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, opened his eyes, took a long breath, and looked helpless.
Compared with before, he is much thinner now, his cheeks are somewhat sunken, and a layer of stubble has grown on his chin, adding a bit of maturity and vicissitudes.
But when he opened his eyes, there was clearly a bright and sharp light in his pupils.
"How?"
Jiang Baichuan's voice came from the shadows in the corner: "Have you realized it?"
"No, Master." Hua Wuying said truthfully: "You said the sword's heart is clear, but I always feel that there is a layer of veil missing."
In these days, Jiang Baichuan has truly been devoted to him. Teach each other.
Of course, it’s not that Jiang Baichuan had something to hide from him before, but that Hua Wuying’s level is not high after all, and he can’t possibly understand it if he teaches too many and too deep things. As a good teacher , Jiang Baichuan knows what step by step means.
But for a while, he seemed to not care about this, and gave everything to Hua Wuying.
Hua Wuying felt something vaguely.
This crazy master seemed to suspect that he would die at any time and was eager to teach everything he had learned.
As for the sword manual, Jiang Baichuan worked hard every day to write down all the sword manuals that he had not had time to record in the library, including the sword shadow clone technique he learned from Ning Baimei, and the original sword manual. Ning Wushu promised him and gave him the Wuwu Sword.
The aspect of "Tao", which is the so-called "clear heart of the sword", has also been the focus of his teaching these days.
He told Hua Wuying that the real core of Zhijian Baishu is not "skill".
The so-called seeing mountains is mountains, seeing water is water, and knowing all kinds of sword skills requires being able to return to nature after reading thousands of sword manuals.
The basis of all this is to have a clear heart.
To put it simply - when drawing the sword, there should be no distracting thoughts.
No matter what kind of swordsmanship you use, no matter what enemy you face, no matter what you hold in your hand, it makes no difference to you.
There is only one thing you are really doing, and that is to draw the sword according to the only thought in your heart.
“It shouldn’t be.”
Jiang Baichuan walked out of the shadows and said in a deep voice: "Your eyes are sharp enough, and the sword intention on your body is sharp enough. Now, you are still capable of fighting even against a strong person in the eighth realm of martial arts. It is impossible to realize Less than. ”
He looks worse now than before.
He is much thinner than Hua Wuying, his face is gray and black, even like a skeleton. His whole person exudes an air of defeat, but it is also intimidating. Like an extremely powerful sick tiger.
"I really can't understand it."
Hua Wuying looked calm and said frankly: "Master, you said that the way of the sword means to move forward without anything in your eyes before you can use the sword. Use people as swords, use heaven and earth as swords...but I can't touch the meaning of "nothing in the eyes""
Jiang Baichuan frowned.
After a moment of silence, he said: "Show me the sword."
Hua Wuying did not refuse. He stood up from the sword manuals scattered on the ground and picked up the sword manuals on the ground. Long sword.
After taking a breath, he closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he unexpectedly released his sword, almost forming a substance, which made the surrounding air buzz!
The next moment, the long sword was handed to Jiang Baichuan.
The speed with which he drew his sword was too fast for the naked eye to catch.
This is an extremely simple sword, without any swordsmanship, any fancy, or even true energy infusion, it is just a sword. But Jiang Baichuan's eyes clearly showed dissatisfaction.
With a clang, the tip of the sword was caught between his fingers, making it difficult to move forward.
"You are right."
He said solemnly: "You can't do anything without seeing anything."
Hua Wuying put away his sword helplessly and sighed.
"You have too many distracting thoughts in your mind." Jiang Baichuan frowned and said, "What are you worried about?"
Hua Wuying gave a bitter smile, and his thoughts stopped.
Master is crazy.
Sometimes he loses his memory, and sometimes he seems to know everything. Sometimes he exudes an extremely violent aura, and sometimes he is as gentle as the master he used to be.
But most of the time, Master is like this. He has nothing in mind, doesn't know or care about anything in the outside world, has a bad temper, but seems to be very patient.
"Eldest Brother, Eldest Brother?"
At this moment, there was another knock on the door.
Hua Wuying shook his head slightly and was about to refuse - he didn't want to implicate other people, so naturally he didn't intend to tell anyone about Jiang Baichuan's visit, as he had done for the past few days.
He doesn't plan to do anything until he finds the perfect way to get the message out. It's too dangerous.
But at this moment, the person outside the door said: "This is Magistrate Wen, Magistrate Wen is looking for you!"
Prefect Wen?
Hua Wuying’s heart skipped a beat.
He knew that he probably had to go.
The date of the Xuanmeng Ceremony is getting closer and closer. As the prefect, Wen Renjun will definitely keep a close eye on him.
The other party said before that if Jiang Baichuan does not die, Luoyi Yamen will no longer protect Xuanmeng. Then before the ceremony, Xuanmeng will definitely be destroyed by those people who do not know the heights of the world and have despicable methods, but are very dangerous. Made a mess.
I have to go see him, but how can I convince the master...
Hua Wuying is still thinking about how to speak, but Jiang Baichuan has already shaken his head.
"It seems that the reason why your sword is unclear is here."
He said, turning around with a puff of sleeves: "Go, deal with everything, and then come back."
Hua Wu Ying was startled.
I thought it was the most troublesome thing, but it was just... solved?
Can you leave by yourself?
But...
His heart sank slightly and his eyes became complicated.
During these days, you don’t have to think too much about other things, and you don’t have to face all kinds of troubles. You only need to concentrate on practicing your sword. It is indeed the simplest and easiest thing in Hua Wuying’s life. A pure period of time.
Happy? Not exactly happy.
But, it’s very easy.
Moreover, the master who I thought had fallen into the devil's path appeared next to me again, patiently and carefully guiding me. It would be a lie to say that there was no comfort in my heart.
But as long as you step out of this door...
It will never be possible to come back.
He will also report Jiang Baichuan's presence to foreign officials.
These days are the last days between their master and apprentice.
"Elder brother?"
The person outside the door called again: "Are you okay? Do you need us to tell Magistrate Wen that you don't have time?"
"No!"
< br>Hua Wuying finally responded: "Go and tell the magistrate, I will be here right away."
"Hey, yes!" The junior brother outside the door responded, and the footsteps quickly faded away. .
At this time, Jiang Baichuan had slowly walked into the shadows, leaving only a vaguely visible outline.
