Taiping Inn

"The 'Heavenly Sword' relies on 'Heaven's calculation' to anticipate the enemy's moves. The 'Demon Sword' can also anticipate the enemy's moves, but it has nothing to do with human calculation or Heaven's calculation." Xiao Shiyu said: "The 'Demon Sword' relies on intuition, and does not need to rely on any moves, but only relies on intuition and instinct to strike. However, there are still subtle differences between the two. It is said that after the 'Demon Sword' is cultivated to the extreme, it can easily detect the opponent's weaknesses and flaws, and strike directly at the vital points, which is the so-called 'vital point'. Unless it is truly cultivated to perfection, it is difficult to resist the 'Demon Sword'."

Zhou Shuning, who was listening, smacked his lips and said: "How can you practice to strike the sword based on intuition? Is it based on experience?"

Li Xuandu shook his head and said: "Definitely not based on experience. You must know that the 'Heavenly Sword' is still within the scope of human control of the sword, but the 'Demon Sword' is the opposite, it has become The sword controls people, which is close to the magic, no wonder it is called the 'magic sword'. "

Xiao Shiyu agreed: "Zifu is right, the 'magic sword' is indeed a method close to the magic. To practice the 'magic sword', it is difficult to say, but it is also easy to say. You have to take the blood of an ancient wild beast, and it seems that you also need to use the inner elixir of some monster to refine it into a pill. The blood of the wild beast changes the physique and enhances the instinct, and the pill refined with the inner elixir enhances the soul and changes the intuition. Only after this premise can you practice the subsequent exercises. "

Li Xuan heard it and said: "This set of exercises was created by Song Zheng. It seems that Song Zheng took the blood of the beast and the demon pill by chance, and obtained all kinds of magic, and then created the 'magic sword' by chance with these magic. However, Song Zheng did not practice the swordsmanship he imagined to the peak, at least he Instead of finding the weakness and vital point of my master, I was defeated by my master. ”

Xiao Shiyu nodded and said: "Indeed, the old sword god is known as the god of swordsmanship, and is indeed superior to the 'Heavenly Sword' and 'Demon Sword' at that time. And I heard that the 'Demon Sword' has various hidden dangers, which will change people's temperament. The deeper you practice, the greater the change in temperament will be, arrogant, greedy, violent and bloodthirsty. ”

Li Xuandu said: "All desires are not born out of thin air, but have always been hidden in the heart. The so-called magic skills, or external objects such as demon pills and beast blood, cannot create desires, but can only amplify desires. And the 'Taishang Wangqing Sutra' does not completely erase desires, but only shrinks all kinds of desires to the point where they are almost gone. ”

Li Xuandu had an idea, "If a person practices the 'Heavenly Sword' and the 'Demon Sword' at the same time, then What will be the result? "

Xiao Shiyu had obviously thought about this question a long time ago, and was not surprised. He answered: "If nothing unexpected happens, the two will form a balance, yin and yang will be harmonious, neither crazy nor indifferent. In other words, the hidden dangers of the two will be offset by each other. "

Li Xuandu said: "But in this way, there will be less extremes. Many martial arts swords take a biased approach. The key lies in the word "bias". If they are not biased and return to the right path, will they still have such great power? I think the hidden dangers are offset, and the power is offset. Whether it is the "Demon Blade" or the "Heavenly Blade", they are like the "Thirteen Swords of Taiyin". The power and hidden dangers are interdependent. I lost the inner demon of the "Thirteen Swords of Taiyin", and the "Thirteen Swords of Taiyin" became a flower stand. I think the same is true for these two. It is in line with the principle of giving up before gaining. "

Xiao Shiyu said: "Zifu's words make sense. Song Zheng also said something similar. He said that if a person who has been possessed by a demon does not put himself in a desperate situation and then survive, he will not be able to perceive the truth between the lines, and then it will not be a "Demon Blade". "

Zhou Shuning was surprised and asked, "Master, do you know that big devil?"

Shen Changsheng was also surprised. They didn't think Xiao Shiyu and Song Zheng had any affair, but their thinking was still at the stage of black and white, and there was no room for buffering and reconciliation. Since good and evil cannot coexist, how could Xiao Shiyu, who was a righteous person and always hated evil, have contact with the big devil in the evil way?

Xiao Shiyu's face was stiff for a moment, and she looked at Li Xuandu. She suddenly realized that she seemed to have said too much. She was not worried that the two children would see any clues, but she was worried that Li Xuandu. Li Xuandu was able to rise to a high position at such a young age, so he must have his own unique ways. Since he became the leader of the Taiping Sect, his various methods have proved that he is not bad-minded. These words are enough to make Li Xuandu aware of something.

However, to Xiao Shiyu's surprise, Li Xuandu seemed to be unaware of it. His face was calm. He didn't even look at her, but looked at Zhou Shuning and Shen Changsheng, and said softly: "Things in this world are not either this or that, but we must pay attention to the doctrine of the mean. The Art of War says: 'Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger.' So many things are not as simple as you think. It's not surprising that Sect Leader Xiao knows Song Zheng. I also know the Earth Master and the Saint King. Both of them have some favors for me. Am I a person of evil ways?"

Zhou Shuning hurriedly said: "Brother is certainly not a person of evil ways, and neither is Master. "

Since Zhou Shuning had spoken, Shen Changsheng could only nod.

Li Xuandu had invisibly turned the topic to the debate between good and evil, rather than just limiting it to Xiao Shiyu and Song Zheng, to help Xiao Shiyu cover up the past. Although Xiao Shiyu was impulsive and upright, not as smooth and flexible as Bai Xiushang, it did not mean that she was a fool. As the leader of the clan for so many years, she still had the necessary thoughts. She now understood that Li Xuandu knew about these past events, even if he didn't know all of them, he knew some of them. However, Li Xuandu had no intention of mentioning this matter, which made her a little unsure of Li Xuandu's intentions.

Li Xuandu continued: "In fact, whether it is the right path or the evil path, it is originally a family. Now it is related to the unity of Taoism. The title of evil path is not easy to use. It is still called the Five Sects of Liaodong, Five Sects of Northwest, or It is called Liaodong Daomen and Northwest Daomen. They are both people in the Daomen. There are disagreements and grudges, but at this critical moment, you can let them go for the time being. The Great Heavenly Master has already said that even those seven If a stubborn sect can wake up and return to the lost path, it will not be impossible to forgive his sins."

Zhou Shuning and Shen Changsheng looked at each other. There were some confusions and questions, but at this time, you can let go for the time being and nodded first.

Xiao Shiyu glanced at Li Xuandu deeply and said, "I went to the golden tent not long ago, but did I see Song Zheng?"

Li Xuan was a little surprised, "How did Master Xiao know that Song Zheng was hiding in the Jin Horde?"

Xiao Shiyu was silent for a moment and said, "After all, he is an enemy for many years. I have thought about killing Song Zheng more than once, and I still have the necessary understanding."

A smart lie is the truth and one false. A smarter one is the lie, but you don’t tell a single lie. You only tell a part of the truth, and let others think about it yourself. This is what Xiao Shiyu is like at this time. She really wants to kill Song Zheng, and it is more than once. This is the truth. The truth she didn't tell was that she hadn't made up her mind for a long time. Sometimes when things were about to come, she left.

However, to Shen Changsheng and Zhou Shuning, this is reasonable, which is in line with the inseparable relationship between good and evil, and more in line with Xiao Shiyu's image over the years.

Li Xuandu looked at Xiao Shiyu and said, "As Master Xiao expected, I did meet Song Zheng, and Dan Tai Yun. From the conversation between the two, we can see that Song Zheng's state is very delicate now. He separated part of his soul and turned himself into two people. So the Song Zheng I saw was actually an incomplete Song Zheng. He failed to witness the style of the "Demon Sword" back then, but only saw a mediocre person. people."

"Mediocre." Xiao Shiyu sighed, "That other half of Song Zheng."

Li Xuandu said, "First it fell into Dan Tai Yun's hands, and then the Earth Master took advantage of the battle with the national master and snatched it from Dan Tai Yun's subordinates. I wonder if the Earth Master returned the half to Song Zheng, but when I left the Jin tent, the Earth Master and Song Zheng had joined forces again. As a condition, the Earth Master may have handed over this step to Song Zheng. In other words, Song Zhengji is now It may have been reunited."

Xiao Shiyu whispered: "Break and stand."

Li Xuandu asked, "Is this what Song Zheng once said?"

A panic flashed across Xiao Shiyu's face, hesitated for a moment, and said, "That's right."

Li Xuandu said: "If so, it means that after Song Zheng returns to the same unity, he will be taken to a higher level."

Xiao Shiyu was shocked, and the palm under his sleeves clenched into a fist unconsciously, "Song Zheng was only one step away from the realm of heaven and man creation. If he went up to another level, wouldn't it be the realm of immortality?"

Li Xuandu nodded and said, "It is the realm of immortality. The 'Sky Sword' has begun to go into seclusion. The day when he comes out of seclusion is the time to reach immortality. So will the 'Demon Sword' be far away?"

Xiao Shiyu asked, "How sure is Zifu about this speculation?"

At this moment, Bai Xiushang walked into the house and said, "I think I have a lot of confidence, at least more than 50%.

Xiao Shiyu frowned, "According to Zifu, now it is a battle between the earth master and the saint king, which is one-on-one. If Song Zheng also enters the realm of immortality, it will become two-on-one, just based on Dan Taiyun One person's strength is absolutely impossible to defeat the two of them joining forces.”

Li Xuandu had already considered this issue and waved his hand and said, "Sect Master Xiao, don't worry. First, even if Song Zheng can enter the realm of immortality, it will not take a day or a night. It will take some time to prepare, and it will even be like the 'Sky Dao' If you retreat like this, this period will not be too short, so in a short period of time, the Earth Master will not change much from the Holy Lord. This is enough for us to promote and complete the peace talks."

Bai Xiushang and Xiao Shiyu both nodded in agreement.

Li Xuandu continued: "Second point, Dan Taiyun was not completely prepared for this. Long before she went to the grassland, she had sent Huangfu Yuxiu to Liaodong to want to form an alliance with the "Sky Dao", but at that time Tiandao is in seclusion, and because the situation is unclear, he did not see him. But now the situation is clear. At this time, Dan Taiyun went to see Tiandao in person, and Tiandao will not refuse, after all, the grassland is connected to Liaodong. , the change in the situation on the grassland is directly related to whether Liaodong can enter the pass. It is reasonable and even the "Tiandao" will not sit idly by and watch Dan Taiyun fail."
