Chapter 336: Inheritance Seal (seeking the moon)(1/2)
"Next let's talk about what sword intent is."
"There are records in the classics of all the major sects. It is recorded in the Huangji Sword Sutra of the Emperor Sword Sect that sword intention is the understanding of the sword, which is close to the Tao."
"It is recorded in Ruoshui Palace's "Liu Shen Kendo" that sword meaning is the interpretation and understanding of the sword. This was written by the fairy Shui Shenliu a thousand years ago."
"My Wanjiang Pavilion's "Psychic Sword Codex" records that sword intention is a state. Understanding it is important, but it is not absolute."
"What these people say is extremely vague. If you follow what I said, sword intention is the degree of control over the sword, that is, proficiency."
"If you can control the sword to the point where you want it, then you can reach the threshold of the sword's will."
"Of course this is not easy. I will explain in detail how to practice sword practice later."
"..."
Many sect leaders looked at each other. Whether they would have imagined that Pavilion Master Yun had such an in-depth understanding of their sect's classics, the classics he listed were all widely circulated, even among the disciples of their own sect.
Won't turn over too much.
After all, to them, this kind of thing is nothing more than some ancient legacy that has been shelved on the shelf.
Perhaps these insights have not been discovered by them, so it is difficult for many sects to return to their grandeur a few generations ago.
Almost every generation is weaker than the previous generation, because they have not even completely inherited their own things, let alone reached a higher level.
So they were extremely shocked.
Pavilion Master Yun is actually very knowledgeable about everything in their sect. Since he can bring it up, it means that he has indeed read this ancient book.
And there is a deeper understanding, which makes them even more shocked.
They were even thinking that this person must have been living in the Sutra Pavilion. Otherwise, how could he know so many things and have his own understanding?
However, after he finished speaking, everyone felt a little enlightened. Now he only explained the root cause, but not the specific method, and everyone was waiting for him with great anticipation.
"Is the perception of the sword just a level of proficiency? I don't think this sentence is right." The Sword Emperor frowned slightly, "I have been practicing swords since I was a child, but I still have five problems after being exposed to the perception of the sword.
Yue, I have comprehended the first level of sword intention. If I can achieve the corresponding level by controlling the sword in my hand, then I don’t think there is any point in doing so."
"I came from my realization. What Pavilion Master Yun said might be the stupidest method?"
Yun Shu nodded slightly, not surprised by his doubts.
Because these people do have corresponding talents, and their understanding of swords is much stronger than ordinary people. They only need to be enlightened to come up with their own understanding.
But in this case, not everyone has such a talent.
Then he thought for a while and said, "For example, if you can swing a sword ten thousand times a day, if you can persist to this level, your understanding of the sword in your hand will become deeper and deeper, and you will be able to control the power in your hand."
"In this way, the understanding will be deepened, instead of simply relying on proficiency. The Sword Emperor said that this is the stupidest method, which is understandable. However, there is one thing. Most people will not go to the sword at all during the process of swinging it.
To feel the breath of meaning in it, I just do it based on instinct."
"If you want to reach a very high level, you need to feel it with your heart, because sword intention is not something that can be achieved overnight, but you accumulate a little every time you swing the sword, and you accumulate a little every time you think."
"There is a sword in the heart, but there is no sword outside the heart. In this case, the way of the sword is within oneself and does not need to be sought outside. Therefore, it is not a perception, but something generated in the heart."
"After you swing the sword ten thousand times, you can feel it slightly when you stop."
The Sword Emperor was slightly silent. He felt that his way and Pavilion Master Yun's way might not be the same thing.
What Pavilion Master Yun said is that after you are completely proficient, you can then generate it in yourself, or even it is already in your heart.
But he didn't think so.
He only felt that the understanding of the sword was an illusory thing. Once he understood it, he understood it. If he couldn't understand it, no matter how much he devoted, it would be in vain.
Yun Shu just smiled and said nothing.
He believed that the Sword Emperor would definitely know what he wanted to express after he finished speaking.
"Okay, then let's talk about how to practice swordsmanship."
Everything that followed directly subverted the Sword Emperor's cognition.
The meaning of the sword is not illusory, can everyone understand it?
As long as you work hard enough?
The Sword Emperor felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
He had never thought that the meaning of the sword would be so easy to convey to Pavilion Master Yun.
However, he still sat down and listened patiently.
"First of all, you have to understand what sword intention you want to capture, and then expand on the insights of previous generations. When you have completed all the techniques and insights you can collect, you must practice at least ten kinds.
Or you can just look for the insights from the predecessors. This kind of insights is free of charge. Practice according to what they said, then go back and swing the sword ten thousand times a day again. Don’t think about anything. You have to know,
Your own sword intention is in your own heart, and you need to inspire it yourself. After a month, you will be able to understand what this sword intention is."
"This is the easiest way to understand the meaning of the sword."
The Sword Emperor looked at him blankly, wasn't this a trick?
Is it possible to mix other people's insights and then practice your own pure swordsmanship? This also requires a lot of perseverance, right?
He didn't believe anyone could do this.
However, this cycle should not be long. If possible, he would like to find someone to test it.
"Of course, this is the way to find the sword's intention. So how to practice after you find the sword's intention? It's still the same method as before, continue to look for the insights of the predecessors, and then return to your own heart."
"You must make bold choices and verify carefully."
"No matter whether the path you are taking is correct or not, if you are determined on a path, then keep going. The same is true for cultivation."
"Knowledge is the beginning of action, and action is the completion of knowledge."
"Only by uniting knowledge and action and believing in your own heart can you reach a higher state."
When the Sword Emperor heard this, he slightly raised his eyebrows.
He understood, he really understood.
If he still doesn't understand after talking to this extent, then he may be really stupid.
This is a method that draws on the strengths of others and then becomes its own brand.
The insights of predecessors must be the core part of them. If you absorb this part, you will draw your own conclusion. Whether this conclusion is correct or not, it will be the path you want to take in the future.
You don't even need a conclusion. After learning from others and swinging the sword ten thousand times, you can even find the conclusion that suits you best, and then you can go on without hesitation. Even if you are wrong, you can still find your own way.
This is to initially condense the sword intention.
After the sword intent is condensed, it continues to be viewed extensively, and then constantly revised. Of course, this correction is to widen at a certain point and then narrow again, and then continue to widen, repeating the reincarnation.
In this way, the path you take will always be the most correct.
At least it's correct for myself.
If nothing else, it requires you to make a lot of choices.
The protagonist of Yun Pavilion is a person who completely believes in himself and must believe that the path he is taking is the most correct. This is indeed the most orthodox method.
Instead of being like them, they just have enlightenment when they understand it. It is because other people's understanding of the sword inspired their own understanding of the sword, or they have been practicing for a long time and their understanding is sufficient, so they have an understanding.
He felt that Pavilion Master Yun's experience might not be suitable for everyone. It was suitable for both the most talented and the most stupid.
Because both of them can unswervingly do what he said and have extremely high understanding. If they do this, the achievements they can achieve will definitely be extremely high.
If you have low or no understanding, you can still do this. Of course, there are no controllable factors in what you can achieve in the end.
As for forming your own insights in the end, it will take some time to refine them, and the advantage of doing so may be that you won't get carried away.
Otherwise, if you listen to too many opinions, you may be hesitant, so it is a good choice to take some time to settle.
The Sword Emperor had already reached this point in his own swordsmanship, and Yun Shu provided him with a new method, which he thought he could try.
The advantage of this may be that the upper limit is extremely high!
And it also focuses on believing in oneself.
Didn't he say that there is no sword in his heart?
Everything is based on absorbing the insights of the predecessors, and the insights of the predecessors are only reference, only oneself is the real one.
Thinking of this, he was slightly shocked. How much Pavilion Master Yun believed in him!
I gave up everything just to find my own path, and this path is still being modified and adjusted, but the core remains unchanged.
Because the core is your own heart!
So now he somewhat understands why Pavilion Master Yun is able to reach this state now, because he is really able to achieve complete self-confidence, which is self-confidence deep in his bones.
He should absolutely believe in himself!
I don’t think it’s strange that Pavilion Master Yun can reach this level.
This kind of cultivation insight is indeed the basis for his cultivation process. Well, now we are waiting for Pavilion Master Yun to go crazy.
Because his cultivation speed is so fast, and he believes in himself so stubbornly, it would be strange if he didn't become obsessed.
Yun Shu didn't pay attention to what he was thinking.
To be continued...
