Relating Yearning with Sword - C56

Shi Yun felt that he had lost all face from practicing the White Elder’s sword techniques. Throwing away the sword in his hand, he walked up to the White Elder and said, “Don’t you have something new to teach me?”

“Of course.” Elder Bai raised his head to look at him, his voice full of disappointment. “It’s just that if you can’t even practice this set of sword technique, then you don’t need to practice the rest.”

“Are you saying that this set of sword technique is the shallowest?”

“Not bad, this is the basic beginner sword technique.” Elder Bai shook his head and said, “You shouldn’t have taken the time to practice it, but who taught you that you didn’t build a good foundation back then …”

Sighing, he murmured, “Speaking of which, it’s your father’s fault. He should spend more time on you … “Now …”

“Is it too late now?” Shi Yun said.

“It is indeed a little late …”

“You … “Nonsense!” Shi Yun was getting a little angry.

Shi Yun shouted and flashed in front of Elder Bai’s eyes. He looked like he was about to hit someone, but under Elder Bai’s emotionless eyes, he slowly lowered his raised hand.

“Hmph …” Shi Yun coldly smiled and said, “This is all your fault. If you had taught me earlier, I would have been fine today.”

“Master, please show me the way. I’ll do it on my own …” Elder Bai sighed. His eyes narrowed into slits. “…” “It seems like you can only end your achievements here …”

“No …”

Shi Yun picked up his sword from the ground in a panic. He was obviously a little flustered. He was extremely ambitious and was not willing to give up just like that.

“You have to teach me… What you promised my dad, you can’t forget, come, come … “Let’s train a bit more …” Shi Yun said.

“I’m not training today, let’s end it here!”

Elder Bai’s expression was cold as he raised his head to look at the moon in the sky.

“You’re right, when your father was about to die, I promised him that I would pass on my ability to you.”

“But why did you change your mind?”

“I haven’t changed.” Elder Bai shook his head coldly and said, “The one who changed is you …”

“It’s me?” Shi Yun said.

“Your heart is too frivolous, not too pragmatic.” Elder Bai snorted and slowly said, “Although you have good roots and you’re smart, you’re not solid enough. These are the taboos of a martial artist. I’ve already said this several times, but you haven’t changed one bit.”

Shi Yun bitterly sighed and sat down on a stone drum.

“What do you want me to do? Humph … I know that you do not plan to teach me, but because you promised my father and because you are too embarrassed to go back on your words, I know that you do not plan to teach me, but because you promised my father, you are too embarrassed to go back on your words.

“This child, you actually had such a sharp mouth … “How infuriating.”

Elder Bai was so angry that he was puffing at his beard. However, the latter part of his words stung him, causing him to be in high spirits.

“From your tone, it seems like you’ve suffered a loss to someone else.”

“How could there be?” Shi Yun said.

“Oh!” “No wonder.” Elder Bai said, “I’m curious, why would you think of looking for me to practice the sword again … Did your brother send someone to look for you? ”

“No …” “No.” Shi Yun said.

Shi Yun shook his head dejectedly, “If it really is my boss, then there is nothing good to be angry about. Instead, it is an unknown person …” Hmph hmph, in my opinion, this person is extremely powerful. Even if you were to fight against him, you might not necessarily be able to defeat him. Humph! Didn’t you always say that as long as you can learn half of your abilities, it would be extremely rare? ”

Hearing this, Elder Bai seemed to be a bit annoyed, and said angrily: “I’m not wrong, because you didn’t even learn twenty percent of my kung fu. However, tell me what’s going on with this person. ”

Shi Yun shook his head and said with a cold smile, “Don’t look down on me either. I have seen through this person’s background. It’s just that he doesn’t want to admit it.”

Thus, he told her about his visit to Wu Yuxue that night, and how he lost the match against his sword. After listening to the story, Elder Bai actually shut his eyes without saying a word, as if he was thinking about something.

Shi Yun said, “Because the sword technique he displayed was very similar to Yan Qingfeng’s Flying Swallow Technique, he probably came from the ‘Yan’ sect, but he refused to admit it. “You once told me that ‘Swallow School’ doesn’t accept disciples with another surname, and only passes them down as’ Yan ‘. But this person’s surname is Wu.”

Elder Bai said, “Correct, how old is this person?”

“He’s not that old. He looks older than me, but it’s not that big of a deal.” Shi Yun said.

“An accent?”

“It sounds like it has a bit of a southern accent, but it’s not certain… “I’m not sure.” Shi Yun said.

Elder Bai snorted and asked: “How long has this been going on?”

“Only two or three days.” Shi Yun said.

“Alright!” Elder Bai said, “If you don’t fight, then we don’t know each other. Since you already know each other, then of course you will have dealings with him in the future. The next time he comes, I would like to see him.”

Shi Yun replied, “You think that he …”

Elder Bai slightly closed his eyes and opened them saying: “If he really is from the Yan Clan, then I am relieved. The Yan Clan is a Martial Forest Aristocrat Clan, their sect rules are extremely strict. In the past few decades, I have never heard of anyone causing any trouble. ”

Snorting lightly, she nodded, “I must meet this person …”

“Why?” Shi Yun said.

“You should know that there is more to it than reason.” Elder Bai muttered, “I will tell you again and again, if you don’t want to rebuild your father’s prestige back then, you must make friends. Such friends are not to be missed.”

Shi Yun snorted and said, “That will depend on him. What if he wants to oppose us?”

“…” Elder Bai gave a light snort. “For the sake of my sect’s future …” And only… However, that is the last resort. ”

Shi Yun smiled and said, “I’ve only heard those words after a long time. With your words, I’m relieved. You know that I’m still weak. If you don’t support me from behind, we’re done for.”

Elder Bai shook his head and said: “This is the last resort … “You know, that sword of mine has already been sealed for nearly thirty years. Now that I’m old, I definitely won’t do such a foolish thing …”

Saying that, he sighed again, “In the end, I only blame your father for dying too early …” “You brothers aren’t compatible with each other, and your abilities are weak as well. Even I, an old and useless one, have no choice but to put in all my effort …”

He looked at Shi Yun and heard the same old saying countless times, “I only want to impart this martial art and the unparalleled Unparalleled Sword Art to you, but you two brothers have failed …”

Shi Yun laughed coldly and said, “Here we go again … … “Are you annoyed?”

Elder Bai was helpless as he looked at him in disappointment. Indeed, there was nothing he could do.

After so many years had passed, he really didn’t know how many more years he could endure. How many more years would he have to live?

Every time he thought of this, Elder Bai would feel an indescribable sense of regret. He would subconsciously become even more agitated and impatient.

Of course, his regret and impatience were not for no reason. However, over the years, it had been a pity that no one had paid any attention to him, understood him, or even ignored his existence by the previous Beggar Clan leader who had passed away, as well as his two sons, the Shi Brothers.

Although Elder Bai gave off the impression that he was crazy, he was in fact a very meticulous person who hid his’ great wisdom ‘within his heart. Unfortunately, he gave others a’ crazy ‘impression first, so his existence was not taken seriously.

Elder Bai held his “perseverance” spirit firmly, which was why he seemed to be able to change Shi Yun in front of him. Thus, he placed all of his ardent desire onto Shi Yun.

So what if it was the truth?

Until one day, he suddenly felt that this stone cloud was no different from the others. His burning desire immediately turned into disappointment … However, the people around him seemed to ignore his existence. In comparison, Shi Yun was still the best. He could not be so ruthless as to keep him out of his thoughts forever.

He looked at the young man before him with eyes so close to reproach and despair that they forgave him for his superficial ignorance.

“Stone Yun… You still don’t believe what I’ve told you in the past? ”

Shi Yun was stunned at first, but soon after, he almost laughed out loud. However, he wasn’t willing to hurt his opponent too much.

If there was anything else about him, it was that he was a little more benevolent than most.

“I believe, I believe, that it’s good enough!” Shi Yun faintly smiled as he sized up the old man who had watched him grow up from his infancy. He really couldn’t bear to stab and injure him.

“You are one of the people with the highest level of sword arts in this world.”

“No, no …” “I did not say the word ‘one’.”

“Ah —” Shi Yun forced a laugh and nodded, “Yes yes yes …” Does this mean that there is no one else in this world who can surpass you in sword arts? ”

Elder Bai’s answer was actually yes.

“I think so,” the White Elder said humbly. “I was the first to use Constellation’s circulation method on my sword art.”

“Right, right …” Shi Yun said loudly, “You are also the first one to channel your Five Elements true qi into your sword technique.”

“Right.”

Elder Bai was excited, he could not be more excited than this: “You still remember?”

“Why don’t I remember? There are so many people who can distinguish between Yin and Yang. Of course, everyone knows. Men are the main Yang, while women are the main Yin. Do you even need to say that?” Shi Yun said.

The more Shi Yun spoke, the angrier he became. He almost stood up to leave.

It just so happened that Elder Bai’s childish seriousness kept him here.

“The Yin and Yang that I’m talking about are not the Yin and Yang between men and women … Lao Wan said, all things negative embrace Yang, men inherent in Yin, women also have Yang. Don’t you understand that? ”

Shi Yun shook his head and said, “I don’t understand it, and I don’t want to understand it. Even if I do, what can I do? What does all this have to do with martial arts and sword arts? ”

“It’s more than just swordsmanship?” Elder Bai said, “In this world, anything that you can see, touch, or even see, are all related to the Yin Yang Five Elements. Once you understand this knowledge, you will be omnipotent.”

“So you’re omnipotent?” Shi Yun said.

“I don’t have this cultivation experience yet, but you must believe that it is absolutely true. If you …”

Without waiting for him to finish, Shi Yun stood up and walked over to the side. Elder Bai had no choice but to stop him. He looked at him with infinite discouragement, shook his head, sighed lightly and stopped talking.

Shi Yun turned around and said with a wry smile, “Old Ancestor, I also beg you, please don’t talk about this to me anymore. I believe you have a stomach of strange knowledge, but it has nothing to do with reality …” Even though my father told me more than once that you are a prodigy in this world. However, what you taught me was extremely limited … Do I have to listen to your weird arguments before I can improve in terms of martial arts? ”

“That’s because your inner force and sword arts are not solid enough, and your mastery of literary secret arts is also not deep enough. This way, it will greatly hinder you from stepping into the domain of advanced martial arts.”

Elder Bai bitterly smiled and continued, “You should know that a true martial artist is adept at everything. Only when both sides are connected and used can one truly bring out the light.”

Pausing, he continued, “It’s a pity that not many martial artists understand this principle …” In the past, the founder of the Innate Everlasting School, Liu Wuxin, faced off against each other for three years, and finally understood this principle. He established a mental battle in his heart, and he achieved the unity of culture and martial arts.

Shi Yun shook his head and said, “That’s not necessarily true, right?”

“Hmph …” What do you know? ” The White Elder narrowed her long and thin eyes, seeming to be lost in thought.

“You mentioned the Yan Clan earlier. The current Sect Leader, Yan Zhuoyun, has endured the technique of ‘Heart and Care’ from his sect. After quietly living for ten years, he was able to comprehend his Yan Clan’s unique skill, ‘Seventy-two Hands Swallow Flying’. Hmph! Hmph!” It’s not just a coincidence. His brother, Yan Ziqing, has been training this sword technique for thirty years and yet, he is unable to fully comprehend it. Why is that so? ”

“Why?” Shi Yun said hesitantly, “I presume his aptitude and Innate Ability is not as good as his brother’s?”

“No …” “It’s not …” Elder Bai shook his white head and coldly said, “Comprehension…” That was because his perception was insufficient, so where did he get his perception from? Quiet down was also a great thing. The word ‘quiet’ was easy to say, but it wasn’t easy to carry out. When a person practiced, they could move while they were still. When there was movement when they were still, that was the same as being one with the movement. That was about it. This is the realm of ‘one with the world’ that I mentioned earlier. With this step, I will be able to control the power of the mind. “Hehe, that’s the only way to step into the first tier of martial arts.”

Shi Yun sighed and said, “I know, there’s no hope for me.”
