Chapter Eleven: The Enlightenment of the Highest Good

However, after Luo Yutang changed his strange sword technique, he still had no effect and could not break Yin Zhiping's defense. No matter how strange the part he used to shoot or how fierce the sword force was, he could never break the water-like sword curtain.

Shangshan Sword Technique is the introductory sword technique in Quanzhen Sword Technique. The entire set of sword techniques only defends but not attacks, without a single attack move. Yin Zhiping used this set of sword techniques in the past, and he would not practice this set of sword techniques even when practicing swords. The only few times he used from beginning to end before was when he was teaching Yang Guo to learn this set of sword techniques.

Today he was facing the enemy with Luo Yutang. He wanted to see how Luo Yutang's martial arts were, so he chose this set of superior swordsmanship that only defends but does not attack. In this battle today, it can be said that this is the first time he has officially used this set of swordsmanship to fight against the enemy.

After this envoy, Yin Zhiping discovered that this set of sword techniques is listed as the best defensive sword technique among Quanzhen sword techniques, which is not a phantom. In this actual defense battle, Yin Zhiping continued to use it and realized the beauty of this set of sword techniques and the principles contained in it.

As an introductory sword technique, there are not many tricks of the Supreme Sword Technique. When Yin Zhiping turned and turned twice, he gradually realized something and remembered the meaning of the naming and the origin of this sword technique.

"The highest good is like water, and water benefits all things without competing."

This set of sword techniques actually contains many characteristics of water, such as perseverance, broadness, flexibility, clumsiness, unity, etc.

The water is soft, but soft and bone-like. The nine-curved Yellow River, although the mountains are stacked, and the ambition of flowing east into the sea remains unchanged. The heroic and heroic steps change for a moment; the waves hit the reef, even if they are broken into pieces, they will never retreat. One wave after another, fighting bravely, and finally hit the reef and rocks with holes; the water dripping on the cliff day after day, year after year, is neither arrogant nor impatient, and falls down thousands of times, and the water dripping through the stone, and a hole is dug in the stubborn stone, so that it is soft and hard.

This is water's perseverance. In terms of swordsmanship, no matter how fierce the enemy's offensive is, it will be transformed by the perseverance of the sword. If one sword cannot be blocked, it will be blocked with thousands of swords; if one sword is broken, there will be thousands of swords to continue. The swords are always continuous, like the Yangtze River.

The sea embraces all rivers, and tolerance is great. Water is the most inclusive and can accommodate all things. This is the vastness of water. In terms of swordsmanship, it can accommodate all the enemy's attacks. No matter what weapons the enemy uses to attack, how strange and unpredictable the tricks will eventually be embraced by the vastness of water and cannot break the sword.

Water has no normal shape, is not restricted or rigid. Sometimes it is delicate, sometimes it is rough, sometimes it is charming, and sometimes it is unrestrained. It changes due to the times, with dewdrops formed at night, mist floating in the morning, and auspiciousness, the shade is covered with rain in summer, snow in winter, and it transforms into qi and condenses into ice. It changes according to the situation, soothing into streams, steep into waterfalls, deep into ponds, and vast into seas. It changes according to the tools, and when it encounters a round, it is round, and when it meets a square, it is square, straight as a carved line, and a curve can be used to rotate the dragon.

This is the flexibility and change of water. In terms of the use of swordsmanship, it is not to block the enemy's offensives by force and to fight head-on. Instead, it is to resolve the enemy's offensives in various changing ways. It is either detour, or tossing, moving due to opportunity, and moving. Let the enemy's strong attacks turn into invisible under the changes of thousands of twists and turns.

Water is the source of all things, and the largest and widest in the world is water. But water never shows off and even makes people ignore it. It flows down to wherever it is, and wherever it is, the deeper it is, the quieter it is. This is the conservativeness of water, and it is also in line with the Taoist inaction.

A drop of water has a very small effect, but thousands of drops, millions of drops, and billions of drops gather together and turn into an unstoppable momentum. It gathers into a river and sea, vast and vast, shaking the past and cleaning the present; riding on the wind, it will make waves rise, vigorously, and expelling the turbid and promote the clear. This is the unity and unity of water.

Water also has the characteristics of clear and clear observation, fairness and integrity. Confucius also said that water has five virtues. It has righteousness, courage, integrity, clarity and change.

The water flow must go downward, not reversely formed, or long, and must follow the principles, as if there is meaning. It flows hundreds of feet in the mountains without fear, so that it is brave. There is no unevenness in place, and there is no need to scrape it, so it is fair and upright. It is all holes and no gaps, but it is like being clear. Take it out and take it in, and all things are clean and clean, so they are good at changing.

In fact, water is not only these five virtues, it is vast and endless, like a Tao; it flows continuously and popularizes creatures, and it is a virtue; it must come from the source west, then it is like setting ambition. Water has these virtues, so a gentleman must observe when encountering water.

Of course, the virtues of these waters mentioned by Confucius, the ancestor of Confucianism, are not in the application and principles of swordsmanship, but in the principle of teaching people to be human. The children of Confucianism must have these kinds of virtues like water.

Quanzhen Buddhism emphasizes the unity of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, so the virtues of water that Confucius said are also included in the best sword techniques. Anyone who teaches disciples this set of sword techniques must first explain this set of principles, teaches disciples the principles of being human beings, and learns the virtues of water.

As for the perseverance, breadth, flexibility and other characteristics of water are also included in the mantras of the Supreme Sword Technique, but they are not as detailed as explained.

As an introductory sword technique, basically no one of the disciples of Quanzhen Sect pays attention to this sword technique. After learning it, they rarely use it. Except for the initial stage, there is no other sword technique to practice, few people will turn back to practice this introductory sword technique.

Yin Zhiping was the same before. If it weren't for teaching Yang Guo's introductory sword technique, he would have forgotten this set of good sword technique. Today, maybe I wouldn't remember to use this set of sword technique to fight the enemy. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have had this insight now.

In fact, the principles contained in the Supreme Sword Technique are all in the formulas of swordsmanship, but no one has ever thought about it, nor has anyone ever experienced such an introductory swordsmanship. The point of everyone's intention is to practice this swordsmanship as soon as possible so that they can pass the level early and learn more advanced and powerful swordsmanship. For such a swordsmanship that only defends but does not attack and has no power, everyone has no intention of it.

If Yin Zhiping had not had the intention of defending first but not attacking today, and would not have had this insight when he thought of using this sword technique to take on the enemy's battle.

At this time, he realized in his mind and understood the many principles contained in this set of sword techniques. He felt that his mind and sword were combined and he was more skillful in using it. Moreover, when he used it, his mind was clear and the spiritual platform was clear. The changes in the enemy's moves and the attacked parts were reflected in his heart without spending time deciding. The trajectory of each sword was clearly visible, and it seemed to slow down several times in his eyes. It would be too easy to block such an attack, and it would be unreasonable.

"This is the clear and clear characteristic of water, which illuminates all things and cannot escape."

Yin Zhipingwu saw it in his heart and thought to himself. He didn't expect that after understanding this set of excellent sword techniques, there was such a wonderful use. He couldn't help but feel happy and couldn't help but let out a long roar and turn the defense into an attack.

Water does not fight, but it is not impossible to fight. When the waves rise, its momentum is unstoppable.

Although Yin Zhiping taught Yang Guo to learn and use it before, and turned the defense moves of this set of swordsmanship into attack moves, it was just a simple use and had no power. At this time, he understood this set of swordsmanship and turned the defense into attack, it was like a big river in the Yangtze River, rolling waves and irresistible.
