Half a day of getting along made Zhou Zixiu have a very good impression of this Chu Guanning, from the Nine Great Dynasties to the two abysses and four seas, he can talk eloquently, erudite, humble, and almost all the praise words that can be used on the literati can be applied to this young city lord.

The old butler sitting on the side looked at the young man who was chatting and laughing with his young master in amazement, although his own young master always got acquainted with some young talents, he had never talked to a person who didn't seem to understand customs for so long as he did today.

Obviously, this young master can't pick up a lot of topics from the young master or even don't understand them at all, if it were normal, Chu Guanning would have ignored it and read his own books, but today it is unusual, and sometimes he will lead some topics to ask Zhou Zixiu's opinion, what can he think, an illiterate martial artist of the Zhou Wu Dynasty!

At dusk, the spirit drove to a vacant place not far from the official road: "Brother Zhou, let's camp here tonight, we can arrive in Nanxiang City tomorrow night, and the nearest train will depart early the day after tomorrow." ”

Zhou Zixiu asked puzzledly: "Brother Chu, why don't you go a little more, there is Banda City in front." ”

"Brother Zhou smiled, I had a marriage contract with the daughter of the city lord of Banda City, which is not very convenient. Chu Guanning, who had always been calm, smiled a little awkwardly.

Zhou Zixiu didn't ask much about this kind of thing, and set up a camp with Gao Yang.

At night, Tang Tang disappeared again, this situation was no surprise to everyone, Zhou Zixiu sat alone not far away to keep vigil, and saw Chu Guanning coming over: "You still haven't slept so late?"

"I'm used to it, I usually fall asleep in the middle of the night. Chu Guanning smiled, "To be honest, Brother Zhou, I envy you spirit masters, especially those like you, who have all the skills, fight with swords in all directions, and take care of injustices if you want to, and live freely and happily." ”

"Envy us?" Zhou Zixiu smiled, and glanced at him with both hands behind his back: "There is a saying in my hometown that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, if I can, I just want to be an ordinary person, stay there, do the work I like, and one day I will meet a beloved girl, she may not be good-looking, but she can join hands with me to grow old, we will have two children, and blow their past into a myth in front of them." You see, the life I aspire to is as simple as that. ”

"As for Brother Guanning, you," Zhou Zixiu shook his head and looked up at the endless starry sky, "Where you can't be happy, it's just that you have something hidden in your heart." ”

Chu Guanning smiled and didn't speak, and also raised his head to look at the sky.

After a long time, he spoke: "Brother Zhou, don't you think it's ridiculous for a person like me to think about these things?"

"What kind of person?" Zhou Zixiu said.

"The so-called young city lord of a small border town, has no background and no connections, and he can't even cultivate because he doesn't have a sacrificial spirit in his body, if it weren't for the fact that my younger brother is still young, I'm afraid I don't have the identity of the young city lord, I can only read books every day and deal with some trivial things. Chu Guanning said with a smile.

"What's so ridiculous about this, the so-called heroes don't ask where they come from, there has never been a shortage of people in history who were born reckless but can shake the earth. Zhou Zixiu said, "What's more, there are always some fools in this world who don't care about the ridicule of others." ”

"Brother Zhou has a point. Chu Guanning said, "What is Brother Zhou coming to Daning for this time, is it convenient to tell me?"

"Go to the Baihua Hall to meet a friend. ”

Chu Guanning nodded: "It's not early, I'll go rest first." ”

Before returning to the tent, Chu Guanning glanced back at Zhou Zixiu, who was looking at the starry sky, and when he said that he had seen a friend, although he behaved casually, Chu Guanning still saw the change in his eyes.

In the driving space, Zhou Zixiu finally waited for the long-overdue teaching.

"Swordsmanship is also essentially a type of combat technique, so before learning swordsmanship, you need to understand combat skills first. "The most primitive form of the so-called combat technique is the use of the aura in the body, and after a long period of development, countless branches and schools have been produced, and skills with unique properties have been produced, which are called combat skills!"

"Unlike magic, which mobilizes the elements between heaven and earth, the initial combat skills are more dependent on their own tempering, so you need to adapt to the control of aura that is different from magic, such as the combat method in which you infuse the aura on the sword to increase sharpness and endurance. ”

Zhou Zixiu sat cross-legged on the mirror lake, his right arm resting on his knee to support his cheek, this method of use was still because there was no combat technique Gao Yang taught him in the Feng Shui Treasure Record, and later he began to write the driver, and became a demon master, so he did not learn further techniques: "What is the sword heart they said about in the stone path? Why does Brother Yang have me but not? If the sword technique is only one of the combat techniques, why emphasize these, as long as the technique can be tempered to maturity for a short time?"

"I said this is just a beginner-level combat skill. "You have to understand that you are a cultivator, not those tools that repeat the same work every day, and you are constantly improving, and the higher your strength, the more you will master more than you imagine." ”

"After reaching a certain realm, you will have your own perception of heaven and earth, your own exercises, your understanding of tempering your combat skills, and your understanding of swords. At that point, you'll need more than just technical training. "Shotai Road.

"At that time, what you needed was a heart towards the Tao, and you just didn't have this, not only for the sword, but also for the magic you have mastered now, you have a very high talent, and you have a mantra seal that others don't have, so that you can get in touch with the essence of magic more easily than others, but this can only make you walk more smoothly on the path of cultivation than others, as for whether you can really become a strong person standing between heaven and earth, it depends on whether you can find your own direction on the path of cultivation. ”

Yutai said: "Those who become the strong people in the heavens and all the worlds are not necessarily the ones who are extremely talented, the most important thing in this world is the people with great talents, but the cultivation of a picture also emphasizes a fate, maybe those people will not be able to find their own way in their lives, on the contrary, those who are not outstanding can move forward." ”

"They say you don't have a kenshin because you don't have an attachment to kendo. Tantai looked at him, "Maybe one day you can really find your own perception of the sword, and then you will have the sword heart." ”

Zhou Zixiu was silent, Shi Jing also said that he didn't have a sword heart, but he finally found his own sword, and Gao Yang's emotion for the sword was also a reflection of his sword heart.

"Okay, these are far away, with your current realm or honestly learn what you should learn, you can't chew it out if you are greedy, I will only teach you one trick now, it is called the Splitting Shadow Sword, also called the Splitting Sword or Splitting Shadow Sword, look at it!"

After saying that, there was already an extra long sword in his hand, and a sword stabbed out, and Zhou Zixiu saw that the light and shadow in front of him seemed to be divided into two halves by the blade, one side was dazzling, and the other was shrouded in darkness.

The next moment he seemed to see two swords!

Different directions, different angles, appear at the same time, slash forward!

"This ...... How did this happen!" Zhou Zixiu looked at everything that happened in front of him in a daze, and couldn't see how this sword was stabbed at all, why it could turn into two with one sword!

"The essence of the Splitting Shadow Sword lies in dividing and turning into words, separating a sword, and turning light and shadow into a sword. ”

Zhou Zixiu stood in Jinghu with a long sword in his hand, and the movements of Shantai kept coming to mind, and every movement was exquisite to almost perfection.

After a long time, Zhou Zixiu moved, holding Qingxuan's sword and stabbing out, his every movement was the same as that of Yutai, the sword was stabbed out, but there was no light and shadow, and it was not divided into two.

"Concentrate and imagine your sword piercing light and shadow and splitting it in two, the first weight of this sword is embodied in the word splitting. ”

Zhou Zixiu kept swords, but he still couldn't achieve the effect.

"Pay attention to the coordination of Reiki, and don't just think of Reiki as an appendage attached to the sword. The voice of the platform sounded at the right time.

"Imagine that your opponent is standing in front of you, he has a sword in his hand, he is very good at defense, and he can block every sword you have, what should you do?"

Zhou Zixiu was immersed in the driving space all night, taking out the sword, collecting the sword, meditating, and feeling, until Dongfang showed his belly, and he failed to succeed once.

Seeing Zhou Zixiu's unwilling appearance, Yutai smiled: "If you want to learn the Splitting Shadow Sword, you can't rush it, you can try to learn the first splitting light first, and then try the second Shadow." ”

"In addition, in terms of your use of aura, I suggest that you let Gao Yang teach you a few moves of his sword style, and have a good experience, although it may not be suitable, but you can more intuitively feel the difference between combat skills and magic. ”

Zhou Zixiu nodded, the Spectroscopic Shadow Sword technique taught by Yutai was obviously higher than some of the sword techniques in the small world, and it was indeed a little difficult for him, a halfway goods who did not have a solid foundation, to learn.

Consciousness exited the driving space, it was still early at this time, Gao Yang and the others were still in the tent, and after Zhou Zixiu played two sets of five bird plays by himself, he summoned the Xuanqing Sword from the driving space and started the daily compulsory classes.

Throwing away all distractions, each sword was very slow and the same as usual, and every movement was meticulous and extremely precise.

Jingle bell bell ~

Hearing this crisp string of bells, Zhou Zixiu knew that Tang Tang was back, and this little girl was not there all night.

"After watching you for so long, I always feel that your cultivation method is very strange. ”

"Hahaha, this is considered a morning exercise, I used to do tai chi every morning. Zhou Zixiu smiled, and the movement of his body did not stop.

"What level of exercise is Tai Chi?"

"It's not a level of exercise, it's just a kind of boxing method in my hometown, and later evolved a set of routines to strengthen the body, and I rely on that activity to move my muscles and bones every day. Zhou Zixiu said, "It's you, where have you been every night?"

Hearing his question, Tang Tang tilted his head and thought for a moment: "I went hunting." ”
