The first level, give up life.
Lian Jin was cut off by Xiang Shaolong in a contest with Xiang Shaolong and became a waster. Lian Jin was once the chief swordsman under Zhao Mu, the Marquis of Julu, with superb sword skills and respected status, and was trusted by Zhao Mu, and other disciples also respected him. After being deposed by Xiang Shaolong, Lian Jin was immediately expelled from the Hou Mansion by Zhao Mu, and even the two unruly swordsmen who guarded the gate of the Hou Mansion dared to speak ill of Lian Jin and beat him up, after which Lian Jin was even more bullied. How could Lian Jin, who had once been beautiful and arrogant, accept the fact that he had become a waster, so he often borrowed wine to pour sorrow, like a walking dead. Until Lian Jin and Wu Tingfang inadvertently encountered the left-handed Excalibur Yan Yi, seeing that Yan Yi's left-handed sword could take people's lives and determine the life and death of people, Lian Jin saw hope, and even more firmly insisted on learning the left-handed sword technique from Yan Yi as a teacher. Learning the left-handed sword technique means that Lian Jin can regain his old glory and no longer be bullied and humiliated. Even Jin and Wu Tingfang followed all the way, served all the way, and yan Yi, who was about to destroy people's eyes when he was looked at by others, was also moved. As a psychologically twisted person, he naturally would not pass on his housekeeping skills to Lian Jin so easily, and lian Jin would be able to pass through the three levels he had set. Cliffs, below the rough sea, Yan Yi let Lian Jin jump down. Lian Jin did not hesitate, and jumped down to the bottom of the cliff. As a swordsman, only by abandoning life and death can you really exert your sword skills in the duel, which seems to be beyond reproach, and can also be seen as the persistent pursuit of the goal, even if you give up your life. For Lian Jin, he couldn't learn the left-handed sword technique, and it was better to live than to die, so this Guan Lian Jin did not hesitate and successfully passed the pass.
Life is precious, and the price of sword law is higher.
The second level is to give up dignity.
If people have no dignity, there is not much difference between living and dying. The second level of Yan Yi is to make Lian Jin give up his dignity: to persist in a stinking dung pit for a day and a night. For Lian Jin, the right hand has lost its dignity when it is abolished. As a swordsman, he lost his right hand with a sword, and was even worse than a natural wasteman, at least the natural waster would not experience a huge gap from high to low, but Lian Jin experienced it. Temporarily abandoning dignity is to live with dignity in the future, and Lian Jin's persistence in the dung pit day and night while abandoning dignity also strengthens his hatred for Xiang Shaolong. In his opinion, it was after all That Xiang Shaolong had destroyed his right hand that had caused him to suffer humiliation, and it was better to live than to die.
The shade and the scorching sun, leisure and torture, are another invisible test.
The third level is to give up love.
If a person can give up even love and righteousness, can he still be considered a human being? The third level of Yan Yi is to make Lian Jin abandon his feelings: let Lian Jin give up Wu Tingfang to Yan Yi for one night. After Lian Jin's right hand was abolished and he met Wu Tingfang, Wu Tingfang took good care of him, and saved Lian Jin's life in the process of climbing the cliff, preferring to die with Lian Jin rather than let go of the hand that grabbed Lian Jin. In the beginning of the TV series, Wu Tingfang likes Lian Jin, and later due to Lian Jin's behavior, Wu Tingfang's impression of him has changed greatly, and Xiang Shaolong has unconsciously entered Wu Tingfang's heart, plus Lian Jin's right hand was abolished, Wu Tingfang felt that he was ashamed of the former big brother Lian, so he followed all the way after meeting Lian Jin, hoping to help Lian Jin rekindle his fighting spirit. Wu Tingfang's inseparability is the only remaining warmth that Lian Jin feels in the humiliation, he originally had love for Wu Tingfang, and now he loves it even more deeply. When he heard Yan Yi's request for the third level, Lian Jin retreated, and he was reluctant to give up the person he loved deeply to others, even if he would always be a waste in the future. However, when Lian Jin and Wu Tingfang had dinner together before they separated, Wu Tingfang told Lian Jin her true feelings, she helped Lian Jin so much because of guilt, and the person she loved deeply was Xiang Shaolong. The love that Lian Jin thought was just his wishful thinking, and it was a misunderstanding caused by Wu Tingfang's behavior. This fact made even Jin's little remaining warmth disappear, so he poured Wu Tingfang a cup of tea that had already been medicated, gave her to Yan Yi, and learned the left-handed sword technique as he wished.
Loving someone is your own business, and it has nothing to do with whether the other person loves you or not.
After passing the three levels, Lian Jin was no longer Lian Jin, so the first thing he learned to do with his left hand sword technique was to kill Yan Yi with a sword, and started his own drilling camp journey in the name of Yan Yi, although the scenery was momentary, but it was a miserable end, and the family of three went to Huangquan together. It is good that people have pursuits, but if they give up what they should stick to in the process of pursuit, this pursuit will change its taste, and people will only have a skin left.
