Ling Wu Ji suddenly said.
Although he did not point it out explicitly, Zhao Suyi understood what he meant and nodded.
But Ling Wuji habitually sneered: "But in my opinion, even if you can use the Holy Grail's wish to go back to that time, you may not be able to maintain a pure state of mind at that time. If you replace that 'you' with the you who has made the choice now, how can you say that the current 'you' can return to your state of mind after continuing to choose to hide from the world? But if you just want to stop your then self from going down the mountain, then what is the difference between what you did and the 'Monkey Heart' that you derived at that time?"
Ling Wu Ji also knew that his words were too hurtful, so he immediately prepared all the relevant defensive spells in secret to prevent the other party from getting angry and attacking him, and he would not be able to react in time.
But the woman in white who looked like a fairy in the clouds was just standing gracefully on the edge of the rooftop. Under the cold moonlight, behind her was a galaxy formed by the brilliant night light. She just looked at Ling Wuji quietly, without any sign of being angry. She just stood there, and Ling Wuji felt that she was as thin as a piece of paper, which would blow away in the wind at any time and disappear into the sky.
But Ling Wu Ji was very clear that the other party had already made his choice.
Now that she has made her choice, she is definitely not someone who can escape from the world and be untainted by the mundane world again.
One cannot step into the same river twice.
Ling Wuji was well aware of this fact.
So although he misses the past and may regret some of his decisions, he will never let himself indulge in the past. Although he will not be like what Nagase said in "Norwegian Wood", "Don't sympathize with yourself, sympathizing with yourself is the act of despicable cowards", he does not think he is very strong and decisive, and it doesn't matter if he is a coward occasionally. It's just that since he has made the decision, it only proves that he was just like that at the time.
But it is a bit too ridiculous to deny his past self with his present self.
"Yes, one cannot step into the same river twice. The foreign language does have some philosophical meaning."
When Ling Wuji heard her say that, he was also surprised for a moment.
"how?"
"In your time, the lands of Wu and Yue, as well as Chu, were generally considered barbaric by the people of the Central Plains, right?"
There was something else he kept in his mind. Even if that place was not a barbarian land, you, a savage who was born in the deep forest and grew up in an uninhabited wilderness - that's not right. Since she had a surname, her background must not be that low. But hearing her, a person from a marginal land, say barbarians still made him feel a strange sense of incongruity. Of course, he was not a reverse nationalist, but seeing that in ancient times there were people at the bottom of the contempt chain looking down on those further down, he felt a bit like the contempt chain he had seen people divide into game players on the Internet before.
Zhao Suyi didn't know how to respond for a moment after being bullied by him, and her face turned slightly red. Only then did Ling Wuji feel that she still had some popularity, and was not completely a god or a swordsman who was only interested in swords.
However, he shook his head and continued to study the Liuhe Sword Technique given to him by the system.
But he really had no idea.
This sword technique is really a bit too mysterious.
In the past, he could use the Taoist techniques given by the system as he saw them, but it was essentially because he knew how to apply formulas. He was still a problem solver after all. Lie Zi's Wind Controlling Technique completed all the conditions after he entered the Yin God level, so he was able to deduce related applications. The Pot Technique was because he had the foundation of Qigong, Mo Zi's Five Elements Technique was also because of his foundation in the Five Elements Technique, and the Dragon Slaying Technique was because he felt something in his heart...
In fact, the Dragon Slaying Technique is a useless technique, simply because it is inevitable that "Taoism will split the world", and the Dragon Slaying Technique only accelerates or alienates this process, and this is where its uselessness lies. The "Riding Six Dragons at a Time" in the Liuhe Sword Technique is clearly a reversal of this process, and it is a process of tracing back to the "purity of heaven and earth" from the Taoism that has been split or distorted.
“It’s easy to say.”
But this is basically what any practitioner has to do.
Even if one reaches the realm of a true person, one may not be able to do this well.
"I say, do you really not want to learn my swordsmanship?"
Zhao Suyi stood aside, observed for a moment, looked at the young man with strange eyes, and said.
In her opinion, this person has a sharp tongue and has such accomplishments at such a young age. Although his swordsmanship relies entirely on his accumulated skills, he is definitely not a narrow-minded person. People with narrow-minded vision would never say such words. His character is so sharp and his swordsmanship will surely improve by leaps and bounds. However, a master of swordsmanship like herself is standing in front of him, but he turns a deaf ear to her and just ponders his swordsmanship. Is he so sure that his swordsmanship inheritance can surpass his own?
Although her swordsmanship has not yet reached that supreme level, it is not far away. In any case, it is better to ask me for advice than to work alone, right?
It wasn't that Ling Wuji had no interest in her swordsmanship at all.
But he said: "Your swordsmanship is actually related to your state of mind, right?"
"The best swordsmanship in the world is all like this."
Ling Wuji agreed with this statement and nodded, saying, "But if you insist, it's not that I can't use your swordsmanship."
However, to use the Tiandun sword technique, he would first have to cut off all emotions and emotions, just like he did to Huangye Zonglian, or even worse. After all, he had set several bottom lines for himself at that time, and to use the sword technique of this man's level, he would probably have to delete several bottom lines, or even leave only one.
"Oh?"
Volume 4: Where is Penglai: Chapter 16: My Heart and Heaven’s Heart
Zhao Suyi had never seen such a young man.
Of course, from Ling Wuji's point of view, after she came down the mountain, she was just teaching the soldiers swordsmanship in Wuyue. It is estimated that the only outstanding person she has ever seen in her life is a scumbag like Fan Li. Of course, if he had to say it, he didn't think he could compare to a person like Fan Li who left his name in history, and he also felt that he was not as bad as Fan Li in terms of relationships between men and women...
That's going too far.
All in all, rationally speaking, Zhao Suyi just thought that Ling Wuji was bragging, but she also vaguely felt that Ling Wuji could really do it.
But he would use a method that she could hardly imagine.
Ling Wuji had no intention of being a riddle teller, so he directly explained the "Tiandun Sword Technique" and all the ideas related to it. He even asked her that if she really wanted to enter that supreme realm, maybe she could do it in one fell swoop with the help of the Tiandun Sword Technique, and he could also teach it to her without reservation.
"Want to learn?"
He seemed to be taking the initiative.
Zhao Suyi was disturbed by his words and didn't know how to react for a moment. She just said "I'll think about it" and left the rooftop of Ling Wuji's residence. Ling Wuji looked at her back and smiled smugly for a while, then shook his head: "It's just a waste of words."
But when he saw the figure in white disappearing into the night, Ling Wuji suddenly remembered a poem, and he couldn't help but hum it softly in the night wind: "The sky is connected to the waves of clouds and the morning mist, the Milky Way is about to turn and the sails are dancing. It's as if my soul is returning to the emperor's place. I hear the voice of the sky, earnestly asking me where I am going.
“I lament the long journey and the setting sun, how can I learn to be an immortal without the help of a real person? The phoenix is soaring in the sky. When the wind stops, I will take my boat to the three mountains.”[1]
After reciting to the empty night, Ling Wu Ji raised the sword in his hand and tapped lightly on the emerald green sword. Then a clear sword chant came from the ancient sword. In this moment of complete silence, he suddenly thought that he had summarized so many Taoist techniques given to him by the system, and it seemed that there was one that he had missed.
Although the art of sex is actually nothing more than erotic pictures.
But the so-called Su Nu Yin-Yang technique seems to be quite promising?
But Ling Wuji thought about it and decided not to take it seriously. He didn't want to make the relationship between men and women more confusing for the time being. He wasn't at the end of his rope. Besides, where could he find four people other than Arisa from the Shrine to complete the task?
Although strictly speaking, Asagami Fujino is now his girlfriend.
And if I must say...
Yukinoshita Haruno and Awashima Seri are not impossible...
Ling Wu Ji was too lazy to go deeper into this kind of issue, but he couldn't help thinking that maybe he should be more selfish. Although it was mentioned in "Zhuangzi: Happy Journey" that those who can "ride the righteousness of heaven and earth and control the debate of the six qi" are all "the most perfect man has no self, the divine man has no merit, and the sage has no name", Ling Wu Ji felt that it was another expression of the state of "Heaven and earth are born with me, and all things are one with me". The essence of the theory of equalizing all things is to treat oneself with heaven, earth and all things as a unified thing. But according to Ji Moyu's performance, she did not do that, and she was able to overwhelm Zhao Suyi. Why is that?
He flicked the ancient sword in his hand again and listened to the sword chanting again.
He did not sense any divinity from that man.
In other words, she did it as a pure human leader.
"A tyrant... is he absolutely selfish?" Ling Wuji suddenly muttered to himself, "'To make one's own heart the heart of heaven, and one's own sword the sword of heaven'?"
His voice flowed in the breeze of this summer night. For a moment, the air suddenly became gloomy, as if someone's will was expanding with the air, so the people in it couldn't help but look around, as if someone's whispers were ringing in their ears, and then the voice became more and more outrageous, just like the air condensed into water-like substance, drowning them like an ocean, making it difficult for them to breathe, see and hear, but then everything disappeared in an instant, as if it was just their illusion.
"Another piece of 'swordsmanship' that is a lie."
It was not until this time that Ling Wu Ji was finally able to glimpse the true meaning of the so-called "Six Harmonies". It was indeed as stated in the general principles of swordsmanship, it didn't matter which "Six Harmonies" they were, whether it was up and down, the four directions, yin and yang, wind and rain, light and darkness, they were essentially just the framework of the user's cognition of the world. The true essence of Six Harmonies swordsmanship was to integrate and control this framework with the absolute self and make the rules of this world operate according to his will, rather than the other way around, making the user obey this framework to transform the world.
To do this, first of all, we need to destroy this framework.
This is also in line with what he has always thought.
As the saying goes, "No destruction, no construction", a blank piece of paper is good for painting.
"However, at present, most of my soul is Yin, so the image that is materialized is actually 'water'?" Ling Wuji used the first sword he had comprehended in his excitement, and thought, "Then the first sword is 'Covering the Sea and Submerging the Waves'."
"And the second sword..."
After Ling Wu Ji opened his mind and used the first sword, he immediately thought of his attainments in the transformation of yin and yang, and immediately thought in the opposite direction of his previous thoughts. The Tai Chi diagram in front of him suddenly started to move at a high speed, but his second sword was abruptly stopped at the last stage. After all, his first sword purely caused an impact on the spiritual level, but the second sword was completely destructive on the material level, and this sword was not retracted in the end, so his long sword pointed into the air, and then an astonishing column of light rushed straight up to the stars, but it was fleeting, but it left an indelible mark in the sky.
Ling Wuji casually used the Sky Curtain Barrier to repair the gaps where the sword energy passed, and at the same time gave his second sword a name: "Let's call it 'Raising Fire to Burn the Sky'."
Although strictly speaking, his current two moves may not be comparable to Zhao Suyi's swordsmanship, Ling Wuji has already seen the direction in this regard. Although at this time, he keenly realized that he might not be able to control the "Raising Fire to Burn the Sky" at will. If he wants to control the "Riding Six Dragons", the required realm may not be enough for the Golden Core.
Note [1]: The entire poem is from Li Qingzhao’s “Fisherman’s Pride”. Later, a weight loss expert in “Asking the Mirror” changed “If you want to learn poetry, you don’t need to have amazing lines” to “If you want to learn to be an immortal, you don’t need to be saved by a real person”. It fits the meaning of this poem in a novel about cultivating immortals, although this book is not a novel about cultivating immortals.
Volume 4: Where is Penglai: Chapter 17: Notice
"It's just a useless sword technique..."
Ling Wu Ji said with some dissatisfaction.
But he actually knew very well that among warriors, the realm of grandmaster was on par with the Golden Core, and Zhao Suyi was definitely above the grandmaster, similar to the Nascent Soul or even the True Person among practitioners. It was simply wishful thinking for him to master the move "Riding Six Dragons" at the mere Golden Core level.
"So, should we still use 'yin and yang, wind and rain, darkness and brightness' as the six qi?"
Ling Wu Ji was a little hesitant.
Among the six so-called Qi, "Yin Yang" is definitely the one he understands the most. As for "Wind", he has Lie Zi's Wind Control Technique, so he doesn't have to limit himself to tricks. However, "Darkness and Brightness" could perhaps be changed to "Life and Death"...
"But no matter what, at least we don't have to burn our boats."
Although Ling Wuji felt that with Ji Moyu around, he would not go to that point.
But what if?
So Ling Wuji didn't have any confidence for a while.
Needless to say, this Holy Grail War is not just a fight between godslayers.
……
Although the Official History Compilation Committee refused to help Kusanagi Godou search for the holy relics at the beginning, after Ling Wuji rejected them and Lu Yinghua asked them for the Taia Sword and they had to give it to him, they keenly realized that Ling Wuji had no intention of reconciliation and was just waiting for the death of Kuni Changlu Dajue. After that person's death, there would definitely be a brief chaos on the mysterious side of Japan, and that would be the best time for Ling Wuji to take action.
But they didn't want to wait passively for Ling Wuji's trial.
Although there were indeed many capitulationists in the official history compilation committee.
But surrender is to preserve one's own advantages more decently, rather than being slaughtered and taken away at will by others.
Not to mention that Ling Wuji has already begun using VR games to infiltrate the secular side.
So they wanted to intervene in this Holy Grail War. Since they could not win Ling Wuji's favor, they could only try their best to reduce that man's advantages, or even kill him in the Holy Grail War.
And to do that, he can only strengthen his enemies.
Kusanagi Godou could barely be considered his enemy.
Although the Blantry family can barely be called a well-known family in the mysterious side, their foundation is not as good as the Official History Compilation Committee. The first thing the Official History Compilation Committee did was to use the Three Sacred Treasures of Japan, namely the Sword of Ame-no-Musukomo, the Mirror of the Eight-foot Mirror, and the Yasakani no Magatama. They wanted Kusanagi Godou to use the three sacred treasures to summon the three noble sons in Japanese mythology, but no one, including Susanoo, responded to Kusanagi Godou's call. Later, the Official History Compilation Committee did not give up, and even found sacred artifacts related to Izanagi and Izanami, but Kusanagi Godou still failed to successfully summon the two main gods. In desperation, the Official History Compilation Committee had to settle for the second best and found the holy relics of some famous generals or mythological figures in Japanese history, and Kusanagi Godou, with such a unique situation, finally summoned Sakata Kintoki.
As a Berserker.
For Kusanagi Godou, the blond berserker wearing sunglasses and always saying "golden" had a good compatibility with him. After having a very in-depth exchange with this servant who was obviously a berserker but had retained a high level of rationality, although he claimed to be a pacifist, the warlike blood in his body was constantly urging him to set off for Romania to find an equally matched opponent.
But before that, he still subconsciously wanted to see Ling Wuji's information.
For him now, Ling Wuji is the most dangerous opponent.
Even now, they are in a sense the same side.
People from the official history compilation committee also helped him collect some information.
Just as Sayamiya Xin was reporting to Kusanagi Godou, Ling Wuji's figure suddenly fell from the sky. The wind lingering around him was like thousands of sharp blades, which instantly opened a hole in the roof of the shrine. Smoke and dust scattered everywhere. He stood in the light falling from the hole, and there was even an atmosphere like an angel descending, which made the people who were originally sitting in the shrine feel like they were facing a great enemy.
