Chapter 3: The Craftsman and the Grandmaster

Meng Chuan carefully read one biographical story after another, some of which were set up by big families for the sake of a certain ancestor, and publicized their own ancestors! Some of them were really well-known and spontaneously written by the people. Even some of the most famous gods and demons, there are dozens of versions of biographical stories. There are also biographies written by sects for gods and demons. The most exaggerated is written by the gods and demons themselves, wanting future generations to remember his deeds.

"These biographical stories, mainly storytelling, are useful for my practice, and sometimes they are just a few sentences in one book. Not even a biographical story was found useful. ”

"Moreover, some of these stories are more credible, and some are less credible. It also needs to be classified. ”

After all, Meng Chuan is a child of the God and Demon Family, and after the teaching of the Jinghu Daoist Academy, his foundation is very solid, and the top sword techniques have been cultivated to the point of Dacheng, and he is only one step away from the 'Unity Realm'.

There is such a foundation......

It is better to distinguish which ones are useful from the biographical stories.

"I don't have to practice swords, I'm just a slave of swords. Practice the sword carefully, and become the master of the sword. Meng Chuan saw a sentence in the biography that the Sword Emperor of the Northern Land pointed to his juniors.

Meng Chuan stared at this sentence and pondered: "The Northern Land Sword Emperor, the junior who pointed out was also a powerhouse in the Leakless Realm, and that junior's swordsmanship at that time had at least reached the Unity Realm. Ordinary cultivation should be regarded as attentive. But the Sword Emperor of the Northland also said such a sentence...... Obviously, the swordsmanship of a powerhouse in the Leakless Realm, in his opinion, cultivation is still not enough to be careful. ”

......

Meng Chuan continued to look at the biographies of gods and demons.

Occasionally, a few words left by a certain god and demon, or even a certain deed, would cause some speculation by Meng Chuan.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it is just a story.

In the eyes of those who have a heart, they can see some of the reasons why those gods and demons are powerful.

"One trick is fresh, eat all over the world. It only takes one move to kill the enemy, as long as you practice the strongest move, what is the use of practicing those messy ones. "This is one of the conversations between Wei Feng, a powerful god and demon 'Demon Knife' and his disciple three thousand years ago. The biographical story of the magic knife Wei Feng has been found in a total of fifteen versions on the market in Dongning Mansion.

Among them, there are "one trick is fresh, eat all over the world, only one move is needed to kill the enemy, as long as you practice the strongest move, it is enough." "Something like that.

Meng Chuan also recorded it.

In addition to biographical stories, Meng Chuan also attaches great importance to the family mottos of some well-known gods and demon families that have been circulated.

The family motto is left by the gods and demons to the younger generations, and it is generally something that the gods and demons think is extremely important.

The more records were recorded, Meng Chuan was also secretly frightened.

"Learn from it, you can only get it, and learn from it, and you can learn from it." and the strongest gods and demons in history. That's right! But biographical stories are all half-claws. If you don't have a deep enough foundation, it's easy to go astray. Meng Chuan understood this, because he saw that many family mottos attached great importance to the foundation of cultivation.

It was clearly ordered that the disciples of the family must enter the Daoist Academy and carry out a complete system of cultivation.

Because the Taoist temple ...... It is the oldest sect in the world, 'Yuan Chu Mountain', which was established in every big city of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the teaching system of the Taoist Academy was formulated by Yuan Chu Mountain. Only by practicing in a monastery can you have a solid foundation.

Of course, it is only the basis of teaching, Meng Chuan's sword technique is only one foot away from the unity realm, and the seven years of cultivation of the Taoist Academy have taught him everything that should be taught. He needs to figure it out more on his own.

"I have enough foundation, and what I need now is the last breakthrough. ”

"Many of the notes I have recorded on this day have inspired me. ”

"But there's no hurry. I read all these books briefly, and then sorted them out, and some of the principles of cultivation have been said by at least three gods and demons, so that they can be more credible. ”

......

Day after day.

The more Meng Chuan collects, the more he integrates. Combined with some 'iron laws of cultivation' of Jinghu Daoist Academy, those are some of the practice rules set by Yuan Chushan.

The combination of the two made Meng Chuan understand more.

"Alright. ”

In the evening, Meng Chuan looked at his notes in front of him and smiled.

"These five days are more important than my five years of practice. Meng Chuan looked at the notes in front of him with some excitement, and he had a clearer understanding of cultivation.

The first point of cultivation is that the foundation is extremely important, just like the foundation of the house, and it is the best choice to enter the monastery for complete practice.

Second, frequency is important. No matter how much the mind fantasizes, it can't compare to cultivating 10,000 times! Drawing the sword 10,000 times a day, practicing the 'Blood Shadow Thorn' 10,000 times a day, similar words, a full twelve gods and demons have said.

The third one, one move is fresh, eat all over the world! There are similarities with the second one, killing the enemy really only needs one move, and one move is cultivated to the extreme, which is more powerful than cultivating ten more powerful killing moves.

Fourth, cultivation is indeed arduous, and if you endure hardships and grit your teeth to cultivate, you will only be a craftsman after all! Only by truly enjoying it, obsessing with it, and carefully pondering the mystery of each move, can you become a grandmaster.

Meng Chuan also understood the sentence of the Sword Emperor of the Northland, "You don't have to practice swords, you are just a slave of the sword." Practice the sword carefully, and become the master of the sword. The true meaning of this is that ordinary cultivators seem to be very serious and diligent in their cultivation, but this is not really their intentions. Really attentive...... It is really enjoying swordsmanship, obsessing with swordsmanship, throwing away all external objects, completely indulging in it, so crazy, only then can there be great achievements and become a grandmaster. Otherwise, it's just a craftsman.

Fifth, the day progresses, the month changes, and the end is successful......

Article 6 ......

......

There are nine in total.

All of them have been mentioned by at least three gods and demons, and with Meng Chuan's knowledge, they also think it is very reasonable.

"Every day I practice knives for several hours, my whole body is tired, and no matter how tired I am, I grit my teeth and hold on. I used to think I was very serious, but obviously I wasn't 'attentive' enough. I should enjoy the knife technique, indulge in the knife technique, and carefully study every move. Meng Chuan felt that this was his biggest problem. Cultivation is a very tiring thing.

Usually he paints for an hour in the afternoon, this is his only luxury pleasure, it is a hobby that he has cultivated since childhood, in painting, the fatigue of cultivation will be forgotten, and his mind will be extremely calm.

In this way, he persevered year after year.

Now it seems that the mentality is wrong.

"I used to be like that, I seemed to be diligent and hardworking, but after all, I was a craftsman. Meng Chuan couldn't help it at all, put down the notes he had recorded, and went directly out of the study to the courtyard.

In the courtyard, he began to practice the top knife technique "Leaf Knife".

It's different from the past.

This time, only the first type of the deciduous knife 'knife drawing style', Meng Chuan left everything behind, and devoted his heart entirely to the knife technique, as if there was only the knife in his hand between heaven and earth! Immediately, out of the knife! Feel the silence when the knife is out of the sheath, feel the feeling of the knife cutting the 'wind', the knife technique is still the same set of knife techniques, but the mentality has changed, and the 'seeing' has also changed.

I chose Kuaidao since I was a child because Meng Chuan really likes it from the bottom of my heart. It's just that I became tired under the cultivation day after day, and that enthusiasm and love were consumed. And today, when his mentality changed, he felt the knife technique with all his heart again.

That love is awakening.

The knife is silently unsheathed.

The trajectory of the knife, like the traces of a painting, is so beautiful. He worked hard to make this trajectory more beautiful, and break through the 'wind' faster! A truly powerful sword technique is aesthetic, and Meng Chuan's sword technique is also approaching this level.

Meng Chuan tried the same move over and over again, trying to make the knife faster and quieter, and cutting through the 'wind' more quickly.

It took 50 consecutive performances to be considered fun.

"That's how you should cultivate!" Meng Chuan was excited, and followed him to perform the second 'Spiral Moon Style'.

......

On the second day after Meng Chuan integrated the practice notes, in an underground hall of the Yun family.

"Huhu~~~"

In the center of the main hall, a purple flame rises.

An old man with black hair sat cross-legged in the flames, unharmed.

"Dad, are you looking for me?" Yun Fu'an walked respectfully into the main hall, but he didn't dare to approach at all, he felt the heat wave coming from a distance, and the air was distorted.

"Fu An. The black-haired old man opened his eyes, his eyes calm, "I just got the news that the old woman of the Meng family was hit hard when she resisted the demon clan in Anhaiguan, I am afraid that she will not live long, and she should return to Dongning in the next few days." ”

Yun Fu'an was stunned: "Dad, are you talking about that Meng Xiangu?"

"That's her. ”

The black-haired old man nodded slightly.

"Could it be mistaken?" Yun Fu'an couldn't believe it, "It's not that Meng Xiangu is the best at probing, all the movements in the Ten Miles Land can't be hidden from her, she doesn't need to rush to the front, how can she suddenly be seriously injured?"

"You can't be wrong. The black-haired old man said coldly, "King An Hai has invited several wise doctors for her, but the old woman is too seriously injured and has no skills to recover." On the side of the Anhai Customs, this is no longer a secret! If she stops fighting and lives carefully, she will last for seven or eight years at most. If you fight desperately, I'm afraid you will live a shorter life. ”

"Seven or eight years at most?" Yun Fu'an couldn't help but say, "Without Meng Xiangu, won't the Meng family be finished?"

"The five great gods and demons of Dongning Mansion will soon become the four great gods and demons families. The black-haired old man nodded.

A family that thrives on gods and demons.

Similarly, without gods and demons, the family will become ordinary.

"Their Meng family is not qualified to occupy so many positions and benefits in Dongning. The black-haired old man said coldly, "By the way, the marriage contract between Qingping and the Meng family's boy named Meng Chuan, you also go to the Meng family, let them hand over the marriage book, and tear it up directly on ......the spot! Not worthy to marry us. ”

"Yes. Yun Fu'an said respectfully.

"But the old woman didn't have to be too ugly until she died. The black-haired old man closed his eyes.

Yun Fu'an quietly retired.

......

"What??," Yun Qingping looked at her father in astonishment.

Didn't you say yes? Why did you suddenly change your mind?

"Daddy just told you. Yun Fu'an smiled and said, "Today, I will go to the Meng family to help you break the marriage contract." ”

"Will this Meng family obediently hand over the marriage certificate?" Yun Qingping couldn't help but say.

"They'll hand it over obediently. Yun Fu'an said confidently, his father got the news from his friends, the Meng family must have known about the ancestors, these big families are self-aware, and stubborn resistance is also self-inflicted.

Yun Qingping said: "Dad, I want to dissolve the marriage contract, but I don't want to tear my face and ruin the harmony of the two families." Why don't you ask Uncle Meng to come over and discuss......"

"It doesn't have to be that much trouble. Yun Fu'an smiled, "Okay, leave this matter to me, you just have to wait for the good news at home." ”
