Since it is decided that you want to learn from the old stone, no matter what you have experienced before, you can see it as a test for the old stone to accept apprentices, or it can be regarded as a foundation for ingenuity. As long as we are sure that we have made the right choice, we will move forward bravely and never turn back! Even if the clouds and mist are shrouded for a while, and we cannot see the distance clearly, if we persist, the clouds will eventually disperse.

No matter what, the boring years of cutting grass all day long have become a thing of the past, and in the end, Ye Heng was sincerely taught by the old stone. It's just that Ye Heng now thinks it's a meaningless waste of time, and as time passes, he suddenly realizes what a precious introductory precipitation this is for him who has just entered the martial arts.

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looking forward to being able to practice martial arts, Ye Heng's excitement was really indescribable. Although the old stone only taught the most basic sword skills, in Ye Heng's eyes, it was a peerless martial art, which should be cherished!

I thought back to the old stone's knife body method, the corresponding pace of movement, and the strength angle of the knife...... Ye Heng continued to imitate, tirelessly repeat the practice, constantly improve, and constantly improve. Here I have to sigh at the advantage of strong mental power, although the old stone has only practiced a few times, but Ye Heng looked at it very carefully, memorized it with great care, and practiced tirelessly, soon, these tricks were like engraved on his heart, and he couldn't forget it!

Ye Heng practiced one move at a time, to be familiar with it, to experience, and was completely immersed in the fun of practicing knives, he was so devoted to practicing that he forgot the time, forgot about his hunger, and even missed lunch.

The old stone didn't seem to care much about Ye Heng, he often deliberately wore a stinky face, and had to give a few words from time to time, but in fact, he loved him very much. This may be a common problem for most men, who obviously love to death in their hearts, but they just can't explain it in words, but choose to express it with actions. When the old stone found out that Ye Heng did not come to lunch, he was relieved at that time, and specially brought food to the place where Ye Heng practiced the knife to check, and saw from a distance that Ye Heng was still indulged in the practice of knife techniques, so he did not disturb, stared at Ye Heng lovingly, looked at it quietly for a long time, and then put the food in a conspicuous place and quietly retreated.

Although Chu Tianxiao had taught Ye Heng a set of "Haoyue Knife Technique" before, after all, it was too profound, Ye Heng could only practice the moves, and he couldn't experience the slightest subtlety, so he could only slowly figure it out in the future. However, the "Qiankun Wuji Knife" taught by the old stone is very different, as a basic knife technique, there are not many moves, the knife technique is simple, and the essence of the knife technique is exhausted, and it has not been practiced for a long time, Ye Heng felt faintly as if he had gained something, so he practiced diligently. Even at night, when I was sleeping, my hands were constantly dancing!

In just three days, Ye Heng has completely mastered this set of "Qiankun Wuji Knife"! This time it is a real mastery, which is completely different from the mastery of "Haoyue Knife Technique" that only knows its shape and does not understand its meaning! This time it can be said that he has a deep understanding of "Qiankun Wuji Knife", from the shift of the body's center of gravity, the coordination of steps and knife styles, to the changes in the connection of moves, and even the timing of the moves, there has been great progress. A set of knife techniques Ye Heng often practiced over and over again for more than an hour in one breath, the more he repeated the practice, the more he felt that he was still unfinished, and the more he felt that there was endless fun in it.

It's just that Ye Heng's strength is low now, and he can't use the spiritual power in his body. However, in terms of the understanding and application of the knife technique, Ye Heng, who has only practiced for three days, is stronger than many people in Fenghe Ranch who have practiced this knife technique for one or two years! The reason for this may be because Ye Heng was born to be a material for the knife maker, and his talent is due to his talent; perhaps it is the career of cutting horses and grass for more than half a year that makes him more profound than many people in his understanding of the characteristics of the knife, the use of the knife, and the knife.

Although Ye Heng has made great progress, and the results far exceed those of other beginners, the old stone still made him patient, practice more, experience more, think more, and seriously feel the difference between using a knife with one hand, the difference between the left and right hands, the change of strength when the move is connected, the cooperation between the person and the knife in the body movement, etc., and so on, after more than a month of training.

When Ye Heng's progress exceeded Lao Shi's expectations, he arranged the second step of learning. This time, he asked Ye Heng to combine breathing with knife style, retract the knife when he inhales, and take out the knife when he exhales, slowly experience the changes, and seriously think about the connection, even if Ye Heng's progress meets the requirements of the old stone, he still let Ye Heng stay up and practice for another two months, and then he began to give Ye Heng the third step of the cultivation content.

When he heard the word 'cutting grass', Ye Heng couldn't help but have black lines on his head, as if horse grass was about to grow on the top of his head.

The old stone ignored Ye Heng's mood and reaction, and after arranging the content of the practice and telling him the specific requirements, he didn't make a demonstration, turned around and left. In fact, the requirement is very simple, that is, you can use any move in "Qiankun Infinite Knife" to cut the grass growing on the grassland into an inch. This may seem like a simple requirement, but it's actually difficult. The black line on Ye Heng's head suddenly disappeared, and his expression became very excited.

You think, the grass is all over the earth in June, it is the season when the grass is fertile and the water is beautiful, the grass dances softly with the wind, the soft is not strong, a knife goes down, the grass swings with the knife, not to mention cutting it into an inch, it is very good to be able to cut it. After a morning of hard work, Ye Heng kept swinging his knife, but judging from the results, all his efforts seemed to be a blind toss. Look at the ground there are some cut horse grass, but the appearance is really not good-looking, the length is different, and the cut marks are uneven, this result makes Ye Heng very annoyed.

Falling to the grass in a dejected manner, Ye Heng fell into deep thought.

How could this be?

In the past, when cutting horse grass, it was to hold the grass in one hand, wave the knife in the other hand, and cut it inch by inch, the reason why it was easy to break was because there was a fixed hand, but now the situation is different, so to achieve the same effect, the method must be different!

Now the first step to do is to cut neatly, not neatly, how can it be that every knife is an inch? But to achieve this goal, what should be done?

Ye Heng stared at the grass in front of him and fell into deep thought.

A light breeze blew, and the grass swayed with the wind, waving layers of blue waves. Suddenly, Ye Heng's heart moved, as if he had grasped something! Although the wind blew the grass, no matter how the grass shook, it was still where it had grown. Yes, the roots of the grass do not move, and the earth is like a big hand, holding the grass tightly. Then, as long as you start practicing from a place close to the ground, it is easy to cut it off and make it neat, and after you are proficient, gradually move upward, first practice from the bottom up, and then familiarize yourself with it from the top down, and finally you can perfectly master the method of cutting grass from anywhere to cut an inch!

However, the grass grows vertically, and not all moves can be used to cut the grass, only the style of cutting the mountains and rivers is the most suitable! So, Ye Heng kept repeating the horizontal breaking of the mountains and rivers, stride, sink the waist, raise the knife, cut horizontally, and the action was done in one go, the knife flashed, and the grass immediately fell.

Seeing the success of one move, Ye Heng swept away his decadence and was full of energy! Repeating this move constantly, large patches of grass kept falling, exhausting all his strength in one breath, until he had no strength to hold the knife, Ye Heng stopped. Looking back at his results, his originally happy expression suddenly froze.

I saw the grass cut behind me, different heights, uneven, like a scarred face with pimples, that is called a miserable!

"It seems that I care too much about the length of 'one inch', and I only care about the present, but do not focus on the overall situation, and I fall to the bottom. Because the earth is uneven, the terrain is undulating, there is a ditch in the middle, and the distance is only one inch along the terrain, and the length is standard, but the cut marks on the ground are uneven, how can it be cut flat when you look at it?" After observing for a while, Ye Heng found the problem.

It seems that great wisdom is nurtured in ordinary things, and in everything we do, we must pay attention to the small details, and we cannot make it big or stick to the rules. I understood the problem, and after the next round of practice, the effect was much better.

Under such concentrated practice, the time of the day passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the sun set, Ye Heng put a large bundle of cut grass on his back, and looked from a distance, only to see a pile of grass like a hill slowly moving forward. Returning to his residence with a tired body, Ye Heng sent the grass to the ten BMWs he fed every day. The horses were also very happy to see him coming, and kept arching their heads in his arms and rubbing their necks against his body. Ye Heng fed the grass into their mouths one by one, stroking their smooth and shiny fur, his heart was indescribably happy, and the fatigue of the day was forgotten cleanly.

Seven days later, when Ye Heng looked back again at the grassland that had been swept away by the "Broken Mountains and Rivers", he finally showed a knowing smile! I saw that the grass behind him was as smooth as a mirror, and the knife marks on each grass were as smooth as the knife surface.

It can be seen that Ye Heng is so familiar with the use of the style of cutting mountains and rivers, and successfully solves the problem of angle and height when the knife is released, so that the cut marks can fully conform to the changes in the terrain and terrain, and only then can such a perfect result be obtained.

It seems that there are many things in life, not to adapt the environment to your standards, but to change your standards to adapt to the changes in the environment, as long as you make changes, you can get the results you want.

If you successfully solve the problem of how to flatten the cut marks in the first step, you can solve the problem of the length of the second step. Ye Heng repeated the practice every day according to this method, and what changed, but the fracture of the grass was getting higher and higher, rising from the bottom to the middle, and the neck!

Three months later, Ye Heng's figure was still dancing wildly on the grass of Fenghe Ranch, only to see a figure dancing into a whirlwind, unable to see the figure clearly, flashing knife light as fast as lightning, flashing out a big light and shadow, the broken grass continued to fly into the sky with the rotation of light and shadow, for a long time, the figure stopped, the whirlwind stopped, the knife shadow closed, and the broken grass fell! Such a fast knife, such a neat grass, what a skillful knife technique, what a precise knife style to do!

Ye Heng looked at his masterpiece and nodded with satisfaction. Now Ye Heng has gradually matured, his skin has been sunburned into a healthy brownish yellow, and his exposed muscles are convex and concave, which is very strong. After adjusting his breathing, Ye Heng handed over the long knife to his left hand, and another whirlwind blew, and the knife light brought up like rain and broken grass, like a gust of wind swept over the flat grass just now, after the storm, Ye Heng's figure stood still again, and behind him was still a water-like grass, as if nothing had changed. It's just that after a closer look, I found that the current grass is a little lower than just now, not long or short, just one inch!

Turning back again, his eyes swept over the calm grass like water, Ye Heng adjusted his breathing, and the long knife continued to wave. The powerful and fierce is a two-handed dancing knife, the relatively light and agile is a one-handed swinging knife, the clockwise rotation is the right-handed knife, and the counterclockwise rotation is the left-handed knife. This went on and on, until there was only a short stalk of grass left, and Ye Hengfang began to rest, only to see that the flat grass was no longer green, and in the grass green, it had shown a faint gray and withered yellow, which was the last knife close to the ground.

The three months from June to September were the hottest time of the year on the grassland, and they were also the most difficult period! During these three months, Ye Heng practiced day after day, and never slackened. Under the scorching sun, Ye Heng did not stop, in the continuous heavy rain, Ye Heng did not stop, and when the lightning and thunder roared, Ye Heng still did not lazy. In these three months, due to weather reasons, Ye Heng practiced the most to cross the mountains and rivers.

Now that it is early autumn, the sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep! With the help of the wind, Ye Heng finally has a lot of opportunities to practice the other four styles. Depending on the wind, the angle at which the grass is bent is different, and the angle at which the knife is drawn is also different, so that the other four types can be used accordingly.

For Ye Heng, this is a rare opportunity to make up for his shortcomings, so during this time, he has been practicing even more frantically, and he can't wait to spend his time eating and sleeping on practicing swords!

Two months passed quickly, and it was late autumn, and the grass on the grassland had completely withered and yellowed. Ye Heng's gaze fell on the long knife as thin as a finger in his hand, a knife with such a appearance, I was afraid that I couldn't continue to call it a knife, so he smiled helplessly: "The third knife!"

Even if he is a good sword, he can't withstand his crazy use for at least six hours a day! In the past half a year, three of the good knives have been damaged, and it is conceivable how hard Ye Heng, who is mortal in the flesh, has gone through such arduous cultivation and sharpening! And this period of time is a precious experience for the whole process of life!

Of course, there is a reward for paying, and now Ye Heng, the use of "Qiankun Infinite Knife" has reached the realm of Xiaocheng, what is lacking is only the experience of fighting against the enemy, as long as he makes up for this lesson, his use of knife techniques is enough to reach the realm of Dacheng.

Another gain of Ye Heng is that he has now become a high-level martial artist. As the lowest and most basic class of martial artists, the division is very simple: lift 100 catties of heavy objects over the head with both hands, and go forward 100 meters for junior martial artists; lift 300 catties of heavy objects over the head with both hands, and go forward 100 meters for intermediate martial artists; lift 800 catties of heavy objects over the head with both hands, and go forward 100 meters for senior martial artists. Once you can lift a thousand pounds and move forward 300 meters, you can be promoted to a samurai!

Today's Ye Heng can lift a weight of 900 catties and move forward 300 meters, I have to say that although it has been a lot of work in the past half a year, it is indeed very hard. But there will be a reward for the effort, and judging from Ye Heng's current harvest, it is still very fruitful.
