Volume 1: The Beginning of the Storm Chapter 7: The Treasury of Exercises
After finishing speaking, Ye Xiao fell into deep thought. He felt that in the dark, there seemed to be a voice in his head that kept shouting the words "practice kendo"! This voice became louder and louder, and his mind was full of this voice. This thought, more and more intense, so strong that the mind is completely occupied by this thought.
"Xiao'er decided to practice kendo!"
With a light in his eyes, Ye Xiao no longer hesitated to say categorically: "I want to enter the Gongfa library to choose a sword book, and really set foot on the way of the sword, and I hope that my father can complete it!"
"Well, since you're so determined, I'll agree. Ye Xiao's decision was not made on a whim or in a sloppy manner, it was obviously well thought out. This made Ling Tianhao quite appreciative, and he was allowed to enter the Ling Family Martial Arts Library immediately.
Ling Tianhao handed Ye Xiao a token engraved with the word "Ling": "This token is the order of the head of my Ling family. With it, you will be able to enter the Ling family's family practice library. ”
"Thank you, Daddy. ”
His decision was able to get Ling Tianhao's approval and support. For Ye Xiao, this is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation, and it is also the strongest driving force to push him forward.
"Daddy, since this is the case, Xue Yao also has to go to the Gongfa Library. Hearing that Ye Xiao was going to the Gongfa Library, Ling Xueyao hurriedly asked to go with her.
"You girl, you only know how to play every day. Cultivation has always stopped at the Ten Levels of the Mortal Spirit Realm, when will it be able to break through to the Mysterious Spirit Realm?"
"My daughter is not in a hurry, and neither am you, Dad. When I come back, I will definitely hurry up my cultivation and strive to break through to the Xuanling Realm as soon as possible. ”
"Okay, you can go with Xiao'er, and you can choose a suitable martial art for advancing to the Xuanling Realm in the future. Ling Tianhao finally compromised. No matter how indifferent he is in front of outsiders, no matter how strict he is with others, in front of his own daughter, this strictness does not work at all. Every time, I am extremely pampered and compromised.
"Thank you, Dad. Ling Xueyao let out a happy breath and pulled Ye Xiao out of the door, walking towards the location of the Ling family's martial arts library. Looking at the two of them with such harmonious and beautiful backs, Ling Tianhao smiled with relief.
Ling Xueyao was a little younger than Ye Xiao, but her cultivation had already reached the realm of the Mortal Spirit Realm, and it was only a matter of time before she broke through the confinement of the mortal spirit and advanced to the Mysterious Spirit Realm.
She had such an achievement in her early fifteens, and she was also known as the first genius of the Ling family in hundreds of years. With such a demonic cultivation speed, no one in the Ling family could match it.
"After practicing swordsmanship, you can really be regarded as a sword cultivator. Brother Xiao is finally about to fulfill his childhood wish. Ling Xueyao was full of joy at the fact that Ye Xiao would finally embark on the way of the sword.
Becoming a sword cultivator has been my dream since I was a child. But what I yearn for the most is still the path of martial arts that is impossible to step into, the spiritual power realm that is impossible to touch, the spiritual power that is impossible to use, and the martial artist who cannot become. But seeing Ling Xueyao's innocent smile, how could Ye Xiao bear to say these thoughts? Stretched out his hand, touched Ling Xueyao's little head dotingly, and felt very emotional in his heart.
"The head of the family order! I have seen Young Master Xiao and Miss Xue Yao. ”
At the door of the Ling family's Gongfa library, Ye Xiao showed Ling Tianhao's family master's order to the Ling family's disciples who were guarding the Gongfa library. The disciple was genuinely frightened and hurriedly let the two of them in.
The Ling family is worthy of being a big family in Canglan, and the Gongfa Library occupies an entire courtyard, and the interior is even more unique.
On the shelves, there are various grades and types of martial arts, and there are countless of them.
Mortal martial arts, Xuanpin martial arts, spiritual martial arts, sword spectrum, knife spectrum, gun spectrum, fist spectrum...... Everything that should be, everything that is there. What a martial arts world!
The two walked around the rows of tall bookshelves. Ling Xueyao's eyes widened, refusing to let go of any word written on them.
"Mortal martial arts, Xuanpin martial arts...... Found it, Xuanpin martial arts, here. ”
Ling Xueyao carefully looked at the martial arts on display and found the Xuanpin martial arts series she needed: "Brother Xiao, I'll start choosing first, the bookshelf where the sword book is placed is in that area. ”
Ling Xueyao waved her hand at Ye Xiao and went to choose a Xuanpin martial art that was about to belong to her.
Although she also wanted to choose with Ye Xiao, choosing martial arts was also a kind of chance, and others couldn't help much. And I don't know anything about kendo, so even if I go, I can't help. After all, whether it is suitable or not, I know by myself, and in the end, I still need to rely on Ye Xiao himself.
Ye Xiao walked in the direction that Ling Xueyao pointed out and came to the place where the bookshelf where the sword book was displayed.
Compared with the various martial arts displayed over there, the sword scores placed here are obviously pitiful. Many of the sword books look a little shabby, and some are even covered with spots, which should have been stored for many years.
In the past, martial artists not only paid attention to the cultivation of spiritual power, but also attached great importance to the minor training of kendo, sword and gun path. But in the eyes of the world, martial arts are the great way, and they pay less and less attention to other ways. Most martial artists focus on spiritual power cultivation, and few martial artists spend time delving into anything other than martial arts.
However, for Ye Xiao, who was unable to cultivate spiritual power, it was not a good thing that he could have a lot of time to practice swordsmanship.
Ye Xiao began to carefully look at the sword book on the shelf. Next to each scroll, there are annotations left by the elders of the family who have cultivated this martial art.
The sword technique of opening the mountain, using the sword with force, in order to achieve the effect of opening the mountain and splitting stones. A sword blasts out, the force is great, and it can shatter mountains and rivers. It is suitable for sword cultivation that cultivates both the physical body, and sword cultivation that uses heavy swords.
Divide the waves of swordsmanship, overcome rigidity with softness, and pay attention to precise control of the sword in your hand.
Wind swordsmanship, win with speed, pay attention to the speed and accuracy of the sword. It is better to practice with the body.
......
Although the number of sword scores is not as good as martial arts, it is still quite a lot. But Ye Xiao screened it layer by layer, one by one, and did not find the swordsmanship he wanted, and he was found in a few short layers.
How can this be good? Ye Xiao couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
A few swordsmanship had special requirements and were not suitable for him, while others felt that they were usually useless and did not want to learn them. There are so many sword books in the Gongfa library, and I hesitated for a long time, but I couldn't choose any of them. He didn't know if he was asking too much, or if there was something else?
Forget it, the blind cat touches the dead mouse, and you can choose one randomly. Ye Xiao gradually lost his patience and became restless. However, this idea was quickly rejected by him.
The most important thing in cultivation is to guard against arrogance and rashness. In order to let him enter the Gong Fa Library, Ling Tianhao even took out a precious family master order. How can I be worthy of my father's high hopes for me in such a state and hasty thoughts?
After clearing his mind, Ye Xiao decided to choose again.
It's just that at the moment when he just raised his head again, the corner of his eye seemed to be attracted by an inconspicuous thing.
The area where the bookshelf is located is where the scrolls that record the body are located.
A remote corner where the two areas intersect is so dark and inconspicuous that even light can reach very little. On the wall in that gray corner, there seemed to be something inconspicuous.
It was a gray bamboo frame hanging on the wall.
Ye Xiao couldn't help but be curious, he didn't seem to have seen a bamboo frame of this style before. Did you not pay much attention to it before?
His eyes were firmly fixed on it, and the throbbing in his heart was still difficult to subside. The bookshelf seemed to have a magical power that drew him in, making it difficult for him to divert his attention, and even desperate to go and find out.
Ye Xiao put down his raised hand and walked towards the bamboo frame on the wall.
The bamboo frame is already covered with dust, almost blending in with the gray environment, and it seems that it has long been forgotten by the world. If it weren't for Ye Xiao who happened to raise his head, it would have been really difficult to discover its existence.
On the old bamboo shelf, there is only one book scroll. The surface of the scroll has long been covered with dust, obscuring its original appearance.
The bamboo frame is located in the middle of nowhere, and the scroll is also hung separately here. Ye Xiao didn't understand the meaning, could it be that this scroll had any special origin?
Ye Xiao took a step closer, intending to observe from a closer distance. It stands to reason that all the books that are stored in the Ling family's Gongfa library should have annotations written by their predecessors on the side. But next to this lonely scroll, there is nothing.
In this small space, there are only two dusty objects: a bamboo frame and a scroll.
Ye Xiao pondered whether to take it off. After struggling for a long time, he still couldn't bear his curiosity and reached out to take the scroll down. Brushing off the dust on the cover with his sleeve, Ye Xiao saw the four big characters on it clearly: Bafang Sword Steps.
Bafang Sword Step, Bafang, Sword Step, One of its own legal martial arts, this name is also direct.
Being placed like this, Ye Xiao felt more and more that there was something abnormal about this Bafang Sword Step. There is definitely a hidden reason for being placed here. Being discovered by oneself shows that there is an indissoluble bond between it and itself, and maybe there is a great opportunity hidden in it.
Ye Xiao only hesitated for a moment, and then decided to take the Bafang Sword Step as his choice. Now that he had made his choice, he was ready to leave the Gongfa Library.
"Why are you not interested in anything else, but choose the Bafang Sword Step?" the old man was a little curious. ”
A voice behind him whispered. Ye Xiao turned around and found an old man in a gray robe standing behind him at some point.
Around the old man's waist, a token engraved with the word "library" was tied. The word "library" represents the library of exercises. And this gray-robed old man, needless to say, was the elder of the Ling family in charge of the Gongfa Library.
Ye Xiao had heard Ling Tianhao tell that the elder who guarded the Gongfa Library was a famous martial idiot of the Ling family, who locked himself in the Gongfa Library all year round to study or innovate martial arts. Except for matters related to the transmission of gong, he was indifferent to other major and minor matters of the Ling family.
"What attracts you to these eight-sided sword steps?"
The old man was also a little strange. From the moment Ye Xiao walked into the Gongfa library to the present, everything he did was in his perception. After wandering for a long time in several rows where the sword scores were placed, Ye Xiao finally hesitated, but because of this, he accidentally discovered the inconspicuous eight-sided sword step on the wall. He saw all of this.
"Junior courage, may I ask the elder, what is the difference between these eight-sided sword steps?"
Judging from the old man's words, the Bafang Sword Step is indeed unusual, at least not comparable to the ordinary sword books placed on the bookshelf.
Obviously asking Ye Xiao, the elder was asked by him, and the old man also smiled helplessly: "That's it, since you little baby wants to inquire, the old man will briefly introduce you to one or two." ”
