The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

Mitarashi Sword Tower stood in the light and shadow in front, holding a shining long sword.

But Li Muchen knew that the real danger did not come from the long sword of empty light, but from the sword intent coming from all directions and everywhere in the west.

This is not a real world, this is a world built by sword intent.

From the moment Mitarashi Sword Pavilion "draws the sword", the sword's intention envelopes everything.

In other words, Li Muchen is now in a sword, or in the "kendo" world of Mitarashi Sword Pavilion.

The Mitarashi Kenkaku in the light and shadow in front of me is not a real person, but the phantom of "I" made up of thoughts.

Li Muchen was shocked. This was the first time he encountered this way of drawing a sword.

When he was in Tiandu, he had heard that the lineage of sword immortals had a method of using the sword as their home and the sword as their world, integrating the body, mind, and sword into a world of their own.

Unexpectedly, in Japan, I would see a sword world similar to that of the Ancient Sword Immortal.

This infinite sword world also aroused Li Muchen's fighting spirit. During this period, he was also pursuing his own way, which was different from the way of heaven. Although he had taken a small step, he was still far away from the way of great success. .

This world formed by the sword's will is very inspiring for his own way.

He raised his arms, and the Xuanming Sword in his hand glowed with black light, creating a black area in the vast light in the west.

Li Muchen stood in the black realm, holding a black sword in his hand, like a god of war from the abyss.

"What a surprise! You are indeed an opponent worth fighting!"

The voice of Mitarashi Sword Pavilion came from the void.

In the distant light of nothingness, the phantom of the Mitarashi Sword Tower made of thoughts raised the long sword drawn from the light and slashed it diagonally.

A bright light flashed, and dazzling white filled the entire world constructed by Sword Intent.

When he swung his sword at Yushou Sword Pavilion, the sword in Li Muchen's hand also moved.

The sword energy slanted upward, facing the long sword of bright light.

Black and white intertwined in the void, just like the first encounter between the Yin and Yang worlds. Endless energy exploded, black and white intertwined, creating a dazzling light.

The annihilated energy of yin and yang formed a rotating abyss, which in turn sucked away the colored light.

The light gradually dissipated, and the world returned to its original appearance.

The two people stood face to face in the Feng'an Hall of the Spiritual Society, quiet and elegant, like two friends reunited after not seeing each other for a long time, with smiles on their faces, and there was no trace of the fact that they had just drawn their swords at each other and struck a shocking blow.

Not far away, the sword that gathered the souls of thousands of warriors was trembling, as if it couldn't hold back its lonely and ready heart.

"Bando Shuichi said that you created the Wu Nian Blade and your swordsmanship is unparalleled in Japan. It is indeed true. The world built by the sword just now is amazing!" Li Muchen said.

"You are not bad, you can actually build a new world in my thoughts. And..." Mitarashi Sword Pavilion glanced at the Xuanming Sword in Li Muchen's hand, "You have a very special aura about you, which is different from what I have seen. It’s completely different. I’m very confused, but also very pleased. You have confirmed some of my past conjectures.”

"What guess?"

"Some things that were naive when I was young, such as... Amaterasu may not be the true god, and the way of heaven may not be the true way..."

Mitarashi Kenkaku chuckled, as if recalling the unbearable embarrassing past.

Li Muchen was shocked: "Is this really what you thought when you were young?"

"Probably so. Anyway, it's been so long that I've even forgotten my age." Mitarashi Sword Tower shook his head, "At that time, I was focused on practicing swordsmanship and spent the whole day in a daze in the bamboo forest. I didn't think about all this. It's really How funny!”

"Without the guidance of a Master, it is really rare for you to have such understanding!"

Li Muchen truly admires the Mitsurugi Sword Pavilion.

I studied Taoism in Tiandu, worshiped Yunyangzi as my teacher, and had so many powerful senior brothers and sisters. After coming down the mountain, I had many adventures. It was not long ago that I realized that Tao is not Tao, and I had the idea of ​​creating my own Tao. .

As for the Mitarashi Sword Pavilion, in the Japanese samurai family, there is a paranoid brother like Mitarashi Zou, who can think of this while practicing swords in the bamboo forest. This understanding can no longer be summed up by the word "high".

"I also yearn for a wise master, but it's a pity that there is no wise master in Japan." Mitarashi Sword Pavilion said with a bitter smile, "I also thought about going to China, to the legendary Kunlun, to seek immortals and visit the Tao, but ah, I am a lazy person, lazy It got to the point where I didn’t want to do anything except practice swordsmanship. I didn’t even want to eat. It was simply a waste of life. But in order to survive, I ate so much when I was young. The world is really full of strange contradictions , I very much suspect that God deliberately teased us like this."

"But I'm also lucky. It can't be said that I don't have a 'Master'. More than a hundred years ago, I met a man and I saw his sword..."

Mitarashi Sword Pavilion's gaze passed over Li Muchen's shoulder, as if he had traveled through time and space and saw the distance.

"I still can't describe that sword. It has no power of thunder, no cold killing intent, no cold light and flames, and it doesn't even have the sharpness that a sword should have. But it is such a sword, ordinary, but it makes you feel , the whole world is ashes under his sword."

"I've been obsessed with kendo since that time. If I ever met a master, it was him." Mitarashi Kenkaku's gaze retracted, "I found that the entire Japanese Bushido has gone astray. They are all pursuing that idea. Strength, the power of the mind that pursues infinite concentration, is what kendo ninjas are like."

"However, you can't be obsessed with Tao! The more you focus on thoughts, the more they become obstacles to Tao. Only by getting rid of thoughts can you see the true meaning of Tao. The Tao is like this, the sword is like this, and the life is like this."

Li Muchen sighed in his heart, feeling that he had met Yushoujian Pavilion at a late date.

"So, you created your own Mindless Blade."

"Yes, Mindless Blade. I really can't think of a better name that would make Mr. Li laugh."

"But you still had thoughts just now. If you really didn't have thoughts, I should not be able to see your knife." Li Muchen said.

Mitarashi Sword Pavilion smiled and nodded: "It's true that I told you so much, you are indeed my soulmate. I can't bear to let you go, and I want to keep chatting with you like this! Do you know, in the past fifty years, I In total, I didn’t say as much as I did today.”

Li Muchen was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing.

Mitarashi Kenkaku probably thought it was funny too, and laughed loudly.

The two of them laughed like this for a while.

After laughing, Mitarashi Sword Pavilion said with a solemn expression: "I thought about it just now because I really wanted to see how you responded, and the fact that you became a small world in the world in my thoughts is really amazing to me. So next, come to me The realm of thoughtlessness..."

The next moment, he returned to the scene of facing the sword just now.

The Western Zhou Dynasty was full of glory.

The difference was that this time, Li Muchen couldn't see where the Mitarashi Sword Pavilion was.

There was no person, no condensed phantom, no long knife drawn from the light.

There are only sword intentions from all directions in the west, but I don’t know where they come from.

Li Muchen knew that this was the real Wu Nian Blade.

In a world without thoughts, where the enemy cannot be seen, how can one defeat this sword?
