Xie Xuan wanted to teach Bai Ze to cultivate swords, and after Liu Ling found out, he told Xie Xuan that Chen Yuanfang had practiced from him and asked if he could teach him by the way. Xie Xuan didn't think about it and agreed.

In his opinion, this does not involve the orthodox inheritance between master and apprentice, teaching one is teaching, teaching two is also teaching, there is no difference.

"I need you to give them two swords, and tell them that in a day's time, I'm going to ask them a question. Xie Xuan told Liu Ling, "The question is: What is a sword?"

After saying that, he left Liuzhuang and went to Machi Town to lead the donkey, and by the way, he planned to use the bounty he earned to go to the most famous Xujia Tangji in the town to buy some candy for the children in the village.

Of course, perhaps only Bai Ze knows that this old man's drunkard does not mean to drink, but to look at the graceful posture of the Xu family's twenty-eight sister, which is his real purpose.

But it has nothing to do with him.

That night, Liu Ling pushed open the room where Bai Ze and Yuan Fang lived, gave them the two willow swords made of the willow branches of his body, and told the two of them what Xie Xuan said before leaving.

"A day later, Dao Zun will return to Liuzhuang and ask you the answer in your heart. Liu Ling's body had recovered five or six, and his face looked much better, so he said no more, and turned to leave.

"What is a sword?" Chen Yuanfang put the willow sword given by Liu Ling between his cross-legged knees, as if he understood or not, "Isn't this a sword?" He touched the green willow sword, a little confused.

"him so much. Bai Ze didn't care, he put Liu Jian down casually, fell asleep on the bed, "I'll talk about it tomorrow, anyway, the master won't be able to come back for a while." ”

Early the next morning, Tugen and Erdan from the next door came to Yuan Fang to pull weeds in the field, and after finishing their work, they went to the waterhole in the back mountain to take a bath. ”

The village chief went down to the ground early in the morning with a hoe, and Liu Ling was sitting at the stone table drinking tea in the courtyard.

"Grandpa Liu Ling, does the old immortal want to teach Brother Yuanfang to practice?" Caiyun, the most watery girl in the village, lay on the fence of the village chief's house, tilting her head and asked.

"Perhaps. Liu Ling said, seeing Bai Ze carrying the willow sword out of the door.

"From then on, Brother Yuan Fang can also be like those swordsmen in the story told by the village chief's grandfather, flying with the sword, going to the sky and the earth?" Caiyun asked again.

"It's up to him personally. Liu Ling said.

Bai Ze stood still in the courtyard and played with the willow sword, splitting and stabbing.

Laymen may think it is a little tasteful when they look at it, and the sword is sassy. But Liu Ling could see at a glance that Bai Ze's technique was very jerky, it was not the climate, and it was not even imposing.

"Little Immortal, are you practicing?" Caiyun looked at Bai Ze's tiger swordsmanship and asked him with some admiration.

"Don't call me a little fairy, call me little brother, I'll call you little sister. Bai Zeyun became a sword, looked at Caiyun and smiled, and said, "Look, isn't this much better?"

"Huh, it seems to be ...... too" Eight-year-old Xiao Caiyun was fooled by Bai Ze, and said glutinously: "Then little brother, are you practicing?"

"yes. Bai Ze said, "The master said that I am not as good as the sword, and I am thinking about how to be invincible with the sword." ”

"Okay, then I won't bother you, I'll come back to you at night!" Caiyun ran away, and the pigtails were flicked and cute.

Bai Ze played for three quarters of an hour, felt bored, thrust the willow sword into the ground, and also ran to the white stone table to sit down and drink tea, and asked Liu Ling: "Master Liu, I practiced sword just now, and I always thought about the one Liu Qianjian you and the master before, but why can't I use it?"

Liu Ling took a sip of tea and said, "Daozun's sword of the willow sword is three thousand qi, I don't understand how to use it." But my willow and a thousand swords, I can talk to you. ”

"Huh?" Bai Ze took a sip of bitter tea, stuck out his tongue, and put down the stoneware teacup.

"You know, I'm Willow. Liu Ling said, "When I handed out a sword, a thousand willow branches sent sword qi together, so it looked like a willow and a thousand swords." ”

"So that's the case!" Bai Ze suddenly realized, "I understand, it's sword qi." That Liu Ye, I just used the sword, and I also wanted to bring out the sword qi, but although the true qi in the body can be roughly mobilized to the hand holding the sword, why can't the true qi come out of the body, attach to the sword, and be cut out by me with a sword?"

"This requires you to cultivate and ascend to the other side. Liu Ling said, "Bitter Sea Realm cultivator, Zhenyuan is trapped in the Bitter Sea and cannot be released from the body. ”

"Is there any other way?" Bai Ze asked.

"There is no other way. Liu Ling shook his head.

"Okay. Bai Ze got up, picked up the willow sword, and was about to go out.

"Where is Xiaoyou going?" asked Liu Ling.

"Houshan Waterfall, I'm going there to think about the question asked by the master!" Bai Ze didn't look back, and walked away.

In the mountains behind Liuzhuang, in the clear pool, Bai Ze has been standing for a whole hour. He looked at the willow sword in his hand, listened to the murmuring of the waterfall, and kept in his mind Liu Ling's words: If you don't go to the other side, the sword qi will not succeed.

The Nine Heavens of the Sea of Suffering, one day higher and one day higher, are trapped in many places, imprisoning the true yuan in this body. If you don't cross the sea of bitterness and reach the other side, your true qi can't release the outside world.

But what if this sword is a part of my body?

Bai Ze's eyes suddenly brightened.

"Yes! If the sword is one with me, then why can't Zhenyuan arrive?" Bai Ze figured this out and laughed, "Today, I want to break the flying spring with a sword!"

But the road is like this, easier said than done. Liu Jian's sword, not limbs, how can it be connected to the body?

Bai Ze danced the sword in the waterhole, and he was always unable to do it. In a restless mood, a sword deflected, slashing to the right leg, and blood was immediately dripping.

"Hiss!" Bai Ze took a breath, and saw that the pool of blood and water merged with the pool of water, and he screamed when he landed, like thunder, and the spiritual platform was transparent in an instant, "There is! It is not my body, it is attached to the blood, under the induction of the mind, is it not a new limb other than my limbs?!"

Bai Ze was not worried but happy, smeared the blood all over the willow sword, then tore off a piece of his clothes and bandaged the wound simply.

He closed his eyes and concentrated, clenched the willow sword, and his mind was there, pulling the pure yang true qi in his right hand, but it still didn't work!

Now, Bai Ze was in a peaceful state of mind, knowing that this matter was not easy, so he climbed onto the big bluestone, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and meditated, trying to sense the blood left on his willow sword.

The mysterious world suddenly appeared in front of him, the Yang Qi mass hung high in the sky, and the five elements of water and gas turned around, and the four were colorful, like a dream.

Bai Ze looked for his arm and looked at it, and sure enough, on the willow sword of the five elements of wood, there was the breath of his body's blood.

In this way, as long as the mind goes, the mind can be linked to the bloodline. If he succeeds, Liu Jian is a part of his body, and the true qi around his body, how can he not be exported from his body?

Bai Ze tried to sense the blood of the willow sword, but he didn't know if he didn't try, and he was startled when he tried it!

It turned out that the qi was all over his body, and Bai Ze's flesh and blood were already attached to a meager true qi.

In this way, the two-phase induction, Bai Zeqi walked to Ren Du, guided the Yang Sutra, looked for his right arm and came out, and the pure Yang True Qi on the Liu Sword was connected with each other!

"Flying Immortal Sword!" Bai Ze opened his eyes and pointed out with a sword in the air.

See you there!

What the true qi did was really like a needle, a trace of sword qi soared out of the air, flew out three inches, and then disappeared without a trace.

"It's done?!" Bai Ze was stunned at first, then laughed three times, jumped up, and nailed the willow sword into the bluestone casually, wanting to run back to Liuzhuang immediately, telling Liu Ling that even if it is not the other side, the sword qi can still be achieved!

But after thinking about it, how can it be called sword qi like a needle? I'm afraid that it will be ridiculed by the master again.

"It's better to practice, wait for me to break the flying spring with a sword, and then go back to Liuzhuang!" made up his mind, Bai Ze wanted to make persistent efforts. But Fang wanted luck, and only then did he find that the dantian qi sea was already empty.

"Just luckily, I have felt that I have insufficient control over the true qi rotation, and between the transfers, there are many true qi scattered into the limbs. Bai Ze sat down cross-legged, settled, and practiced qi, "It seems that the path of cultivation is not limited to two or three intentions, and it is very important to stabilize the foundation." ”

Time is like flowing water, and night is approaching in a blink of an eye.

Bai Ze turned back to Liuzhuang from the back mountain, Xie Xuan had already returned, and distributed the candy to the children in the village, Caiyun got two, and was happily eating the candy, when he saw Bai Ze returning, he waved his hand vigorously, "Little brother, you are back!"

"Uh-huh!" Bai Ze didn't have time to pay attention to her, ran into the courtyard, and shouted at Xie Xuan: "Master, look at my sword!"

After that, Liu Jian pointed a finger in the air, and a finger-thick true air flow rushed out, flew out of the foot, and then dissipated between heaven and earth.

"How is this possible!?" Liu Ling was shocked, "Before reaching the other side, the true qi actually came out of the body!?"

The village chief in the courtyard, Chen Yuanfang, and Caiyun were taken aback by Liu Ling's sudden gaffe. Xie Xuan was stunned for a moment, seeing the wound on Bai Ze's leg and the remaining blood stains on the willow sword, he suddenly realized, the wine gourd "belled" at Bai Ze's head, and said: "Crooked and heretical! Although there is a gain, it has lost eight hundred, which is not worth mentioning!"

"Ouch!" Bai Ze was beaten by Xie Xuan and jumped three feet high.

"How can Xiaoyou release the true qi in his body in the Bitter Sea Realm?" Liu Ling was still puzzled and asked.

"He smeared his sword with blood, and the sword qi he released was nothing more than the true qi remaining in the blood. Xie Xuan snorted, "In this way, are you confronting a strong enemy, stabbing yourself with a sword first, and then confronting it?"

Bai Ze knew that he was at a loss, so he didn't dare to say more.

"I see. Liu Ling understood.

"That's it, this kind of self-destructive method, don't use it again. Xie Xuan sat on the stool next to the stone table in the courtyard and said, "Since you are all here, do you two have an answer to my question?"

Both nodded.

"So, Yuan Fang, you speak first. Xie Xuan looked at Chen Yuanfang.

"In my opinion, the sword is an artifact. Chen Yuanfang held the willow sword, stepped forward, and said: "Just like the hammer we hoe, it is a tool." ”

"Hmm. Xie Xuan just nodded, didn't ask more, didn't evaluate, couldn't see his attitude, "What about you?" he asked Bai Ze again.

"Master, I thought that the sword was my body, and my body was the sword. Bai Ze said.

"Oh?" Xie Xuan's eyes lit up, and he asked, "How can you see this solution?"

"I'll ask Master a question first. Bai Ze stuck the willow sword on the ground, his hands empty, "If you don't have a sword, can you cultivate a sword?"

"What do you think?" Xie Xuan smiled, took a sip of wine, and asked rhetorically.

"If there is a sword here, yes. Bai Ze pointed to his chest and paused word by word, "If you don't have a sword here, you can't." ”

"Wonderful!" Xie Xuan laughed, first pointing at Yuan Fang, "This son is suitable for cultivating the Imperial Sword and the like!" and pointed at Bai Ze again, "And you, suitable for the Qi Sword!"

"Dare to ask Daozun, which is better or worse?" asked Liu Ling.

"There is no such thing as good or bad. Xie Xuan said, "The imperial sword is holding a sword, and he uses a tangible sword to prove the Tao. And the qi sword is an invisible sword that cultivates the Tao, and uses the Haoran True Qi Sword to preach the Tao. So much for. ”
