"The eight-sided sword step was obtained by the ancestor of the Ling family in an experience and by chance. At that time, he must have thought it was a gift from heaven. However, when he enlightened this martial art, he found that he could only understand it cursoly, but in any case, it was difficult to figure out the most essential part of it, and he could not cultivate the Bafang Sword Step to perfection. ”

"Later, in the history of the Ling family, there were many demonic geniuses who tried to cultivate, but in the end, they were all like the ancestors, and they all ended in failure. After being passed down from generation to generation, this body martial art was gradually forgotten by the Ling family. Although the body method recorded in it is not of much value to them, it is after all a thing handed down by the ancestors, and it was later sealed in an inconspicuous place in the Gongfa library by a family master. The eight-sided sword step also gradually disappeared from people's sight. Even the heads of these generations of families were completely unaware that there was such a strange martial art hidden in the Gongfa library. ”

"Decades ago, the old man just took over the Gongfa library and unexpectedly learned that such a martial art still exists. I was so young and frivolous that I even tried to enlighten it, but in the end it took three years in vain, and I haven't seen anyone take it down from it since. ”

"I didn't expect to be found by your little baby today. I don't know if it's fate, or is it just that you're a little baby?"

It turns out that behind this Bafang Sword Step, there is still such a source hidden. No wonder it was placed in such an inconspicuous corner, and it turned out to be a useless martial art in the cognition of the ancestors of the past generations.

"So now, little baby, do you still want to choose it?" the old man asked, but the meaning of his words was obviously waiting for Ye Xiao to give up on his own.

Ye Xiao smiled indifferently. After decades of dust, Bafang Jianbu was born again, because of himself. It is undeniable that he really has a fate with these eight sword steps.

To comprehend martial arts, one relies on comprehension of talent, and the other relies on the realm of the Great Dao.

Some people are gifted and have excellent comprehension, and they can easily understand some of the martial arts they are exposed to.

The other is to climb to a certain height and reach a certain level on this avenue. When you stand tall, see far, and have a wider vision than before, your comprehension will also improve, and your perception of the avenue will also increase. At this time, I have the opportunity to comprehend the martial arts that were difficult to understand before.

I chose the way of the sword, no matter how thorny and bumpy the road ahead, I will go on rain or shine. Ye Xiao believed that one day he would be able to cross countless hurdles above the sword path and finally reach the peak. Although he just thinks about it, he doesn't know where he gets his confidence.

"Thank you seniors for telling the juniors about these things, but the juniors have already decided, so they choose this Bafang Sword Step. If you haven't tried it, how do you know if it will succeed?"

The old man smiled helplessly, he persuaded him for a long time, but Ye Xiao still stubbornly refused to look back. But this is Ye Xiao's own decision, and he has no right to interfere.

Now that he has completed the selection, Ye Xiao took the Bafang Sword Step and left the Gongfa Library.

"After so many years, the Bafang Sword Step has been taken away again, maybe it is God's arrangement. I hope this little baby can surprise me. Looking at Ye Xiao's back as he left, the old man muttered to himself.

Outside the exercise library, Ling Xueyao had been waiting for a long time: "Brother Xiao, why are you so slow, Xue Yao has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Seeing the slightly dissatisfied expression on the girl's face, Ye Xiao hurriedly waited with kind words, which made Ling Xueyao return her attention to the selected martial arts.

"Bafang Sword Step, haven't you heard of it, it's a body martial art?" Ling Xueyao looked at the thing in Ye Xiao's hand: "Hehe, Brother Xiao has to cultivate hard." After some time, Xue Yao will come to test you well. ”

"Speaking of me, you also have to strive to break through the confinement of mortal spirits as soon as possible. ”

"I know, I know, Brother Xiao is always like a little adult. Ling Xueyao responded with a grin. The girl's shy posture actually made Ye Xiao's cheeky face feel a little embarrassed.

After Ye Xiao returned to the small courtyard, the first thing he did was to impatiently begin to comprehend the eight-sided sword steps obtained in the Gongfa library. He wanted to see what was different about the fact that no one had been able to cultivate a successful martial art throughout the entire history of the Ling family.

The scroll was slowly opened.

On the first side of the page, a small gossip pattern is drawn. Qiankun is away from Kan Zhen Xun to Gen, and the eight directions of Tai Chi Bagua are clearly marked. In this set of body methods, there is the great truth of Tai Chi Bagua!

The eight-sided sword step, born with swordsmanship, was created by a sword cultivator who comprehended the meaning of kendo and had a sense of it. The posture recorded in it is even more exquisite. Eight directions, representing eight directions. The sword step is suitable for use with swordsmanship.

The Bafang Sword Step, as the name suggests, is based on Tai Chi Bagua. The eight directions divided into eight directions correspond to the eight ones in the gossip. Looking at the four roads, stepping in all directions, every step is inseparable from a direction in the gossip. In other words, every step a cultivator takes revolves around a gossip that exists on the ground in his thoughts.

The content in it completely attracted Ye Xiao, as if he had entered a completely new world. There is no sound or color, and all that remains is the principle of the Great Dao contained in the Eight Directions Sword Steps.

Now, with the flipping through little by little, Ye Xiao has completed the entire book in a short period of time, and all the contents have a rough impression in his mind.

After comprehending step by step, Ye Xiao even found that he seemed to have found the hidden essence in it, and this eight-sided sword step did not seem to be as difficult as the elder said. In the Eight Directions Sword Step, which the masters of the previous generations and even the ancestors had judged to be difficult to cultivate, it seemed to be a little ...... in his eyes Easy?

Is it your own understanding posture that is wrong?

However, Ye Xiao didn't delve into this problem. After theory, there is practice. Practice is the criterion for testing theories.

Solemnly put away the scroll, Ye Xiao took a step. With the clear memory in my head, I moved in the direction described in the record.

It's just that the first practice is not so easy, and there will always be difficulties. Although I can understand it when I comprehend it, it is not as easy to use it as I imagined, and it seems to be a bit troublesome.

Ye Xiao felt a twist under his feet, stumbled in his steps, and almost fell.

Second......

Third ......

Fourth ......

In countless attempts, he began to become proficient and gradually grasped the essence of it.

One moment he was in the dry position, his body flickered, and the next moment, he appeared in the opposite Kun position like a dream. In the next moment, in another flash, Ye Xiao's figure appeared in the position of leaving the position again.

Front and back, left and right, east and west, north and south, eight directions.

The footsteps moved quickly, Ye Xiao's footwork became faster and faster, so fast that his figure gradually blurred, so fast that people couldn't accurately capture his position.

Whether it is a real body or a false afterimage is elusive to judge.

Ye Xiao slowly stopped.

In the cultivation just now, he personally experienced the subtleties of the Bafang Sword Step. Confused and incomprehensible movements, vague and uncertain figures, all of which are advantages in the face of the enemy. While performing the basic sword style, with the cooperation of the eight-sided sword step, Ye Xiao even boldly concluded that he could compete with ordinary martial artists.

In the second half of the night, Ye Xiao felt a hazy sleepiness, and then he stopped practicing. Because he didn't cultivate spiritual power, he still needed to rely on sleep to replenish his energy.

Early in the morning of the second day. A knock on the door pulled Ye Xiao back to reality from his sleep.

Sleepy-eyed and struggling to get up, Ye Xiao yawned several times in a row before he woke up slightly. The courtyard door opened with a creak, and he rubbed his sleepy eyes vigorously before he could see the person in front of him.

It was none other than Ling Xueyao, who was the most sticky to him.

"Why is Brother Xiao still sleeping a lot, Xue Yao has been cultivating for a while. Ling Xue Yaoyu crossed her hands on her waist and criticized Ye Xiao angrily.

"Ha~"

Ye Xiao yawned again: "Xue Yao, I'm not like you martial artists, I can recover my energy just by cultivating, I have to keep enough sleep." Last night, I didn't rest until the second half of the night when I had a firm grasp of the martial arts I chose. ”

"Oh, really?" Listening to Ye Xiao's words, a sly smile appeared on the corner of Ling Xueyao's mouth: "Since Brother Xiao is so diligent, Xue Yao wants to have a good relationship with you." ”

"What, talk to me! Miss, please spare me. ”

Ye Xiao will not be beaten in vain. Even if he has a preliminary reliance on the basic sword style and the eight-sided sword step now, Ling Xueyao's cultivation is a genuine mortal spirit realm.

Playing with her by yourself is no different from looking for a fight.

"I don't care, I'm going to fight with Brother Xiao. It's a big deal, I'll press it and fix it. Ling Xueyao didn't give up, and didn't let Ye Xiao leave at all.

Miss, it doesn't matter if you're there. Ye Xiao shouted silently in his heart, Ling Xueyao's temper was clear to him.

But after thinking about it, although she said that she was fighting, she would definitely not really hurt herself, and she suppressed her cultivation. This is a good opportunity to test the results of cultivation.

"That'...... Sister Xue Yao, you have to be merciful. ”

As soon as Ye Xiao's words fell, Ling Xueyao was impatient, and flashed in an instant. Qianying immediately disappeared in place, striking at Ye Xiao with lightning speed.

Miss...... Did you really suppress cultivation?

The so-called soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, anyway, with his strength, he can shoot with all his might.

Stepping on the eight-sided sword step, Ye Xiao dodged and moved his position. The change of direction allowed him to calmly avoid Ling Xueyao's swift attack.

"Huh?"

Ye Xiao calmly dissolved it without even using a sword, which was beyond Ling Xueyao's expectations. At that moment, the figure flashed again, and another offensive was launched.

However, the result was the same as before, Ye Xiao stepped on the eight-sided sword step and avoided it again.

This has been the case several times in a row, and all the offensives have been empty like bamboo baskets.

Ling Xueyao's pretty face was already full of surprise, but in addition to being surprised, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a sly smile, and then said with a straight face: "Since Brother Xiao is so powerful, then Xue Yao should also be serious." ”

Hearing her words, Ye Xiao suddenly felt a chill in his spine. A stream of spiritual power with a bone-piercing cold began to circulate and release from Ling Xueyao's body.

This little girl, she has used her spiritual power, it turns out that she was joking before?!
