Chapter 278: On the Dao
Ouyang Fei returned to the valley, everyone had already gotten up and were practicing in the morning, Yang Guo is now in seclusion, although there is less practice, but it is not completely unpracticed, every morning, he will still practice like everyone else, in order to keep his martial arts from decreasing.
Although the internal strength is congenital, even if you don't deliberately practice, the true qi will run on its own, endlessly, but if you don't practice martial arts for a long time, it will still become rusty.
Seeing Ouyang Fei returning to the valley with a big burden in his hand, everyone couldn't help but surround him curiously, it just so happened that their morning exercise was about the same, and Mo Chou was ready to go to fix breakfast.
"Uncle Ou, what is this?" Yang Ming asked curiously.
Ouyang Fei put the long sword back in its place, put the burden on the stone table, and said with a smile, "This is the breakfast I just bought in Xiangyang City in the morning, delicious and juicy soup dumplings, let's wash them and eat them!"
"Soup dumplings?" Yang Ming was overjoyed when he heard this, and he reached out to unpack his burden, but was patted on the back of his hand by Ouyang Fei, "Stinky boy, go wash your hands first, look at the sweat on your hands." ”
Yang Ming retracted his hand in a daze, turned around and ran in the direction of the water tank.
There is a stream not far from the sword mound, and there is a large water tank with a lid in the valley, and on weekdays, Mo Chou and Si Xiao go to the stream to fetch water, and fill the water tank, which can be used by their family for several days.
Yang Guo said with a smile, "It's really convenient for you to be a god's flying away, I want to go to Xiangyang City, and it will take half an hour to perform light skills with all my might, and you can go back and forth in tea time." ”
Ouyang Fei smiled and said, "Envy, then practice hard, don't think that as one of the five uniques, you are in the realm of the top masters in the rivers and lakes, and there are few opponents, so you have no motivation to forge ahead." ”
"With your current strength, you are still far from being able to fly to the heavens and the earth! Your current realm is only the innate realm, and there is still the Tao after the innate realm, and there is still the Holy Realm after the Tao. ”
"After you enter the Tao with martial arts and become transcendent, it will not be difficult to fly to the heavens and the earth. ”
"Oh?" Yang Guo's eyes lit up, it was the first time he had heard Ouyang Fei talk about the martial arts realm, and he said with great interest at the moment, "Tell me carefully, what is entering the Dao, and how can it be regarded as a saint?"
Ouyang Fei waved his hand and said, "You better go wash first, and let's talk after breakfast." ”
"Oh!"
After everyone had washed it, Mo Chou made a pot of egg drop soup as quickly as possible, and then everyone began to eat steamed buns with egg drop soup.
Because he was worried about Ouyang Fei's theory of "Dao", Yang Guo finished eating quickly, and when Xiaolongnu saw this, she only ate a few and gave up, letting Mo Chou and Sixiao go to another table to eat.
However, they have always attached great importance to Ouyang Fei's "lectures", so they stood behind Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo to listen.
The Condor went out early in the morning to hunt, not in the valley, besides, it was a big bird, it was useless to listen to it, and the way of animals and humans were completely different things.
"Brother Ou, since I and Long'er are congenital, I don't know what to do next, you can tell Brother Wei quickly, so that Brother Wei can know the way forward. ”
Ouyang Fei nodded, and said, "Actually, the day after tomorrow is innate, and he has already stepped into another broader world, but he is only in the innate realm, but he has just stepped into the door of martial arts, which can be regarded as the foundation of the 'Dao'." ”
"The so-called martial arts into the Tao is to let you understand the nature of heaven and earth, combine what you have learned, and understand your own 'Tao'. ”
"Some people enter the Tao with a sword, some people enter the Tao with love, some people enter the Tao with killing, and some people enter the Tao with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and so on. ”
"Take Dugu's predecessor as an example, he entered the Tao with a sword, and his comprehension of the way of the sword can be divided into four realms. ”
Yang Guo said puzzledly, "I know the four realms of Dugu's predecessors! They are sharp swords, software, heavy swords and wooden swords, and I have now reached the same realm as grass, trees, bamboos and stones, all of which can be equal to swords, but ......"
Ouyang Fei smiled and shook his head, "You misunderstood, the four realms you said can't be called realms at all, they can only be said to be four stages. ”
In other words, these four stages are only in the realm of ordinary martial arts, and you are just in the state of the peak of ordinary martial arts, although you are only one step away from entering the Tao, but it is not easy to take this step. ”
Yang Guo suddenly, so it was, and asked humbly at the moment, "Then what do you ......mean by the four realms?"
Ouyang Feilang said, "The four realms of Dugu's predecessors are 'there is a sword in his hand, but there is no sword in his heart', which is the realm where his sharp sword and soft sword are located. ”
"After that, 'there is a sword in his hand, and there is a sword in his heart', which is the realm of his heavy sword and wooden sword. ”
"Further, it is 'no sword in the hand, there is a sword in the heart', this is the so-called grass, wood, bamboo and stone, all can be swords. ”
"And in the end, if you want to truly enter the Tao with a sword, you must realize that 'there is no sword in your hand, and there is no sword in your heart'. ”
Yang Guo was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously, "There is no sword in your hand, and there is no sword in your heart, where is the sword?"
"That's a good question. Ouyang Fei smiled and said, "There is no sword in my hand, and there is no sword in my heart, but it is the highest state of swordsmanship, just because after reaching this realm, the sword is a person, and a person is a sword, which is the real 'unity of man and sword'." ”
"When you reach this realm, you don't need to use swordsmanship and sword moves with people, and your whole body is entangled by the sharp sword energy. ”
Yang Guo's heart swayed when he heard it, and he could defeat his opponent with one look, what kind of transcendent realm was that?
Although Xiaolongnu has always cared little about the world, she is also fascinated by the realm described by Ouyang Fei, not to mention Mo Chou and Sixiao.
Ouyang Fei continued, "Of course, the way of the sword is not just like this, there are three thousand avenues, and everyone's path is different, but they are just the same way. ”
"Just like the way of the sword, Dugu's predecessors pursued a pure sword, a sharp sword, an incomparable sword, and an extremely gentle sword. ”
"Uh...... Swords also have gentleness, aren't weapons just for killing?"
Yang Guo was stunned, but heard Ouyang Fei laugh and said, "That's why you are still in the realm of mortal martial arts, the sword can be used to kill, can't it be used to save people? ”
"I know that a person can be extremely affectionate, so he can be extremely capable of the sword, so he can be regarded as entering the Tao with a sword, or it can be said to enter the Tao with affection, oh! Don't ask me who that person is, that person is also a person from the Tang Dynasty, you must not know. ”
Yang Guo rolled his eyes speechlessly, but after hearing Ouyang Fei say so much, he also had a lot of ideas in his heart, and most importantly, at least he knew how to go in the future.
