Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 575: There are mountains in the earth,
On the Sword Country ship.

The woman in a white cape and carrying a sword who walked onto the deck from the cabin looked like a young girl, but she exuded a sword-like aura. It was as if the whole person had transformed into a sharp sword, so sharp that people dared not look directly at it...

"What is the higher and greater realm that Pavilion Master is talking about?"

A woman carrying a sword asked curiously.

At this time, the eyes of several men and women carrying swords fell on the woman in the white cloak and carrying a sword, with some doubt in their eyes.

The woman in the white cape and carrying a sword looked at the dark forest in the rain and said, "Don't be stuck in things. Grass, wood, bamboo and stone can all be swords. It is the realm where having no sword is better than having one. It is also the supreme realm. The saint is probably someone who has reached this realm..."

"..."

The man and woman with swords on their backs frowned, seemingly puzzled.

"The realm of literary master is only the surface realm of canonization, not the true realm of canonization. The true realm of canonization is the realm of virtual sainthood." The woman in the white cloak and carrying a sword said, "The Supreme Dao Sutra says, 'Great brightness is like darkness, great virtue is like a valley, great whiteness is like humiliation, great generosity has no corners, great tools are unfinished, great sounds are rare, and great images are invisible.'"

"The Pavilion Master also reads the Holy Scriptures?"

The young man with a sword on his back was surprised.

“Why not?”

The woman in the white cape and carrying a sword said, her eyes falling on everyone, "Although we are all swordsmen, we also need to read and understand the truth, so as to unite heaven and earth into one."

After saying this, she rose into the air and walked towards the dark forest in the terrifying thunderstorm.

And at this time.

The ox cart had already arrived above the Nujiang River and was about to enter the dark forest.

However, Qing Mang felt an invisible resistance that made it difficult to move forward. Every step forward was extremely difficult, as if there was a mountain on its back.

"My Lord, there is something strange in this forest."

Qingmang Road.

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingyan walked out of the ox cart and stood in front of the dark forest. He vaguely felt a faint breath flowing in the forest.

It seemed that it was this aura that stopped the ox cart from moving forward.

"Nine Swords of the Sword Nation, see you, canonized."

A woman in a white cape and carrying a sword came in the rain and stood a few feet away to salute. No raindrops came close to her, as if the rain had eyes and avoided her one by one.

Feng Qingyan turned around to return the greeting, looked at her and said, "What do you want, young lady?"

"But canonization requires passing through this forest?"

The woman in the white cloak and sword said.

"Exactly."

Feng Qingyan said.

"Does Jiujian need to use the sword in his hand to clear a path for canonization?" Jiujian asked, emitting an unparalleled sharp aura, as if he had turned into a sharp sword.

"No need to trouble you, girl."

Feng Qingyan Road.

"How can we pass the canonization without a sword?"

Jiu Jian asked, his whole body still like a sword, always showing its sharp edge, "Legend has it that this forest is the Yunmeng Forest, and people in the world are not allowed to cross it."

"Since the world cannot be traveled through, how can the sword in the girl's hand be cut open?"

Feng Qingyan asked with a smile.

"The sword in Jiujian's hand can cut through everything, and naturally it can split the small Yunmeng Forest." Jiujian said, with a strong sword aura emanating from her body, as if she was swallowing up mountains and rivers. She just wanted to discuss swords and gentlemen with Fengsheng for a moment, and she had no other intentions.

"The sword in the girl's hand is indeed sharp, but it is too hard and will break easily."

Feng Qingyan shook his head.

"Since it is sharp, it can be cut with one sword, so how can it be broken?" Nine Swords said, "If the Cangsheng does not use the sword, how can he pass the Yunmeng Forest? He will only be trapped here and unable to move forward. If that's the case, why not use the sword?"

"No need."

Feng Qingyan looked at the Nine Swords, then bowed to Yunmenglin and said, "I am Feng Qingyan, and I would like to borrow Yunmenglin's passage. Please allow me to do so."

"Meet the canonization."

At this time, above Yunmeng Forest, three women in white came out from the rain and bowed respectfully to Feng Qingyan, "We are unaware of your presence, please forgive us, Your Majesty."

Feng Qingyan returned the gift.

"Feng Sheng, Your Majesty is not in Yunmengze right now and cannot come to greet us in person. I hope Feng Sheng can forgive me." One of the women in white said, and after they appeared, the dark clouds above Yunmeng Forest quickly retreated, and the lightning disappeared in an instant.

The sky cleared up, and the dark forest seemed to retreat to both sides, splitting into a wide path.

"Canonization please."

The three women in white saluted.

Feng Qingyan nodded, and then said to the somewhat stunned Jiu Jian: "Girl, do you know that there are mountains in the ground?"

“There are mountains in the ground?”

Jiujian frowned, not understanding what it meant.

When she was about to ask, she saw Feng Sheng had already stepped onto the ox cart. After Qing Mang looked up at her, he proudly stepped into the air.

And at this time.

The men and women with swords on their backs on the Sword Country’s ship all walked out from the rain, looking at the Nine Swords with some confusion, wondering what the Pavilion Master meant.

"Master, what is this?"

A woman with a sword on her back was puzzled and asked, "Why do we need to pave the way for canonization?"

"Do you know what it means to have mountains in the earth?"

Nine Swords asked.

"I don't know."

Several men and women carrying swords shook their heads.

"Can we find a scholar to ask?"

A young man with a sword on his back asked.

At this time, several scholars also came in from the air and said to Nine Swords: "Although the sword is indeed sharp, you still need to read more books. It seems that Nine Swords Girl still doesn't know where she was defeated?"

"What do you mean?"

Several men and women carrying swords frowned and looked at the scholars with some caution.

"Just now, the Nine Swords Lady was discussing swords with the Canonized Saint and the Gentleman, right?"

A scholar shook his head with a look of regret on his face, and said, "What a pity! If the Nine Swords Girl were to compete with us in a sword-fighting contest, I'm afraid we would all lose. But she has to compete with Feng Sheng in a sword-fighting contest. Isn't this just asking for humiliation?"

"What are you talking about?"

"What do you mean by self-humiliation?!"

Several men and women carrying swords glared at each other with displeased expressions.

"What is the meaning of mountains in the earth?"

Jiu Jian was also somewhat displeased and asked with a frown.

"There is a mountain in the earth, which represents humility. This is the Qian hexagram, the fifteenth hexagram in the Book of Changes."

A scholar with extraordinary temperament said calmly with a smile on his face, "The first six, a modest gentleman, uses it to cross a large river, auspicious. Xiang said: A modest gentleman is humble and self-disciplined. The second six, singing modestly, steadfast and auspicious. Xiang said: singing modestly and steadfastly is auspicious, and the heart is satisfied..."

"what for?"

Jiujian frowned and said.

"There is a mountain in the ground, which is the Qian hexagram. The Qian hexagram symbolizes humility and modesty. A gentleman with a humble character can succeed in everything, and he will be able to persevere in his practice of humility from beginning to end." The scholar explained, "And the Qian hexagram is the only one among the 64 hexagrams in the Book of Changes in which every line is auspicious."

"Do you know what this means?"

A scholar asked with a smile.

"What does it mean?"

A young man with a sword on his back asked with a frown.

"This means that a modest gentleman will be invincible in the world."

A scholar explained, looking at the Nine Swords with some sympathy, and said: "So, no matter when the girl makes a move, the gentleman is always in a lucky position. In fact, the canonization is also telling the girl that even the sharpest sword sometimes needs to retreat and give way, otherwise it will always break..."
