The first spell that Zhu Youxiang taught Xu Yan was "Sword Mang". On a blank piece of paper, she wrote a hundred-word luck formula for Xu Yan and asked Xu Yan to refer to it carefully.

Looking at the awkward classical Chinese and more than a dozen complex acupuncture point names on the formula, Xu Yan's head suddenly became two.

He cried with a sad face: "This, Xuan Yun, is there no other simpler formula? What are the things written on it, such as Yuanchi, Zifu, Neiguan, Daling, Zhongchong, Laogong, and the Yin Pericardial Sutra, they know me, but I don't know them!"

Zhu Youxiang smiled faintly, Xu Yan's performance was actually expected by her.

Xu Yan is ashamed that he can't understand the mantra, in fact, even in the holy sword gate of the Ming Dynasty, there are not many disciples who can understand the mantra of the spell, when the master teaches this spell, he should let the disciples recite the mantra first, in fact, it is just symbolic, in order to show that he does not forget the inheritance, it is just like everyone has to spend a class or two to learn the basic knowledge of the computer before learning the computer, including the development history of the computer, know what is the two into what is von Neumann and the like, but in fact, these things have nothing to do with the use of the computer, do not learn these basic knowledge directly on the computer, you can still make the computer yo-yo now, Zhu Youxiang's formula,It's about the same as the basic knowledge of these computers.,It doesn't seem to be much of a hindrance to learn it or not.。

But that being said, you can't do that. Although Zhu Youxiang didn't understand the formula, it didn't prevent her from looking at Xu Yan with disdain, and emphasized the importance of the basic theory to Xu Yan, stating that this formula is very important, if you want to practice the skill to the highest and deepest realm, you must understand the mystery of the formula, and any idea of trying to be opportunistic will not work!

Back then, the senior brother who taught Zhu Youxiang the exercises also trained Zhu Youxiang in this way, and afterwards, Zhu Youxiang learned that the senior brother couldn't understand the mantra at all.

Xu Yan was trained to droop his head, he didn't dare to say a word, and blinked pitifully.

Seeing that Xu Yan was almost trained, Zhu Youxiang was greatly addicted to the master, and she nodded with satisfaction: "Since the son can't understand the mantra for the time being, now that he is in a hurry, I have to use some simple methods to teach the son to use the sword, but the son remembers, this is just a simple way to obey the power in a hurry, and the real practice still depends on comprehending this mantra!"

Of course, Zhu Youxiang would not tell Xu Yan, in fact, Zhu Youxiang, who had relied on this "simple way of doing things in a hurry" to teach the exercises for hundreds of years, was very suspicious, even if it was his own master with the title of Sword Saint, he might not be able to understand this mantra, but she didn't dare to ask.

Compared to the esoteric complexity of the formula, the simple method is really much simpler. Zhu Youxiang walked behind Xu Yan, gently pressed against Xu Yan's back with a palm, and she said in a deep voice: "Childe, don't resist, memorize the running route of the aura with your heart~"

In an instant, Xu Yan could feel that a hot current of heat passed from Zhu Youxiang's palm behind his back to his back, and the warm current quickly introduced into Xu Yan's dantian, and then rose from the dantian, straight into the chest, abdomen, shoulders and back, and then went down the arm, and finally condensed between the index finger and thumb of Xu Yan's right hand

Zhu Youxiang snorted: "Childe, remember the line of Fang Cai, keep your mind and mind, and reach the good spirit, Childe, you can use the sword!"

Even if Zhu Youxiang didn't say it, Xu Yan could also feel it, his hands were filled with a warm flow of heat, and there was a vast white light between his index finger and middle finger.

Looking at the inch-long pillar of white light, Xu Yan's heart was a little dazed, and he looked up at Zhu Youxiang: "Xuan Yun, this ...... Is that the sword?"

Zhu Youxiang said with great certainty: "That's right, this is Jianmang!"

"But, Xuan Yun, I see that your sword is so long" Xu Yan gestured with his hand to a length of about one meter, and then, he looked at the sword that was only about an inch, and said with a bitter face: "Moreover, your sword can still be released and launched, while my sword is only a short ......."

Zhu Youxiang looked at Xu Yan with disdain: "Childe, why don't you say it, you are only in the Qi Induction Period, but I am in the Foundation Building Period?" You have only been cultivating for a few days, but the idea of Childe compared to the Foundation Building Period is a bit arrogant. ”

Zhu Youxiang told Xu Yan that the sword in the qi induction period is indeed only more than an inch long, which is indeed very short and not easy to use, and this Zhu Youxiang also admits it. In order to make up for this shortcoming, or in order to save the aura consumption of using the sword, many predecessors used it through various weapon media, for example, many of the predecessors of the Sword Saint Gate attached the sword to the weapon, and attached the sword, sword, spear and even bow and arrow to the sword, which can exert several times the terrifying power.

Then, Zhu Youxiang taught Xu Yan several key points and keys about the sword technique, and Xu Yan suddenly understood it. Without Zhu Youxiang's teaching, he also used his sword decently.

Learning the first spell in his life, Xu Yan was excited and eager to try, like a primary school student when he got a new toy. He pointed east and west, and poked the table in the hotel with a sword, and saw that it was about to fall apart, Xu Yancai hurriedly stopped, although he was poked with a lot of holes, he could still cover it with a tablecloth. But if the table is really poked apart by yourself, it will be troublesome, and you will have to pay for it when you check out.

Zhu Youxiang watched Xu Yan toss beside him, pursed his lips and smiled, but he didn't interfere when he learned the first spell back then, he was also so excited, and cut off several big trees in the sect, provoking his uncle to chase him all over the hillside with a stick.

Xu Yan learned the "Sword Mang" spell as soon as he learned it, Zhu Youxiang was not surprised, she knew very well that it was not that Xu Yan was really that kind of genius who fell from the sky, the real reason was: "Sword Mang" This kind of primary spell is actually a very simple skill.

This is the way things are, if a mortal wants to use a sword, it is absolutely impossible, but for a monk like Xu Yan who is full of spiritual energy, he already contains a large amount of spiritual energy in his body, and what he lacks is nothing more than a method to use it. As long as he teaches him the method and pierces the layer of paper, Xu Yan uses this, there is really no obstacle The so-called sword is nothing more than the aura in the body is released into a sharp edge, in fact, it is just a kind of operation technique of the aura, and there is no need to study the esoteric mantra at all.

Zhu Youxiang thought: This is the so-called "false transmission of ten thousand volumes of scriptures, true transmission of one sentence", the key difficulty is often one or two sentences can be explained clearly, and it needs to be long and accumulated, most of which are fakes that fool people.

After Xu Yan became familiar with the use of the sword, Zhu Youxiang taught him the spell of the protective shield, which required much more complex skills, according to Zhu Youxiang's own experience, when she learned this spell by herself, it took her a full day just to understand the three-dimensional concept of "support point". However, this kind of obstacle is not an obstacle at all for Xu Yan, who has learned high mathematics and three-dimensional geometry.

According to the pattern just now, Zhu Youxiang exported the aura to swim in Xu Yan's body, teaching him the "luck trajectory" of the aura cover, at this time, Xu Yan had already realized that it was nothing more than the circulation of the aura between several meridians and then released, compared to the sword just now, it seemed that it was not difficult.

When Zhu Youxiang taught Xu Yan for the third time, Xu Yan was already able to use the "protective shield" spell decently.

Xu Yan felt that the protective shield spell was very different from the sword mang, when the "sword mang" came out, at least he could see a white pillar of light, but when the protective shield came out, Xu Yan really couldn't see anything, there was no colorful aperture, no dazzling halo or other abnormalities, Xu Yan looked around him, just like usual.

Xu Yan thought that he had failed to cast the spell, and he had a bitter face: "Xuan Yun, this, it doesn't seem to be right?"

Zhu Youxiang glanced at him, picked up a chair from his side, and slammed it on Xu Yan's head with lightning speed, Xu Yan only heard a "pop" sound, the chair was already broken, but he didn't feel it at all.

At this time, Xu Yan came to his senses: "Xuan Yun, it turns out that I have already successfully cast the spell? Why don't I feel anything at all, and I can't see anything abnormal?"

Zhu Youxiang looked at him with disdain: "What kind of abnormality does Childe want? Do you want a multicolored halo on your head, or is it full of golden light?"

Zhu Youxiang saw through the essence of his vanity at a glance, and he laughed twice: "This...... It's not like that, it's just that I'm like this, and I can't feel it when I cast a spell if I succeed or if I don't. ”

"To feel, it's actually very simple to maintain the protective shield, which consumes aura. Xu Gongzi, you just need to feel the aura in your body to know. ”

Zhu Youxiang taught Xu Yan earnestly: "Childe, you have to know that the spell of the protective shield is a practical spell used to save lives, not a pickle tool used to show off.

In fact, the previous shield spell did have a layer of white light, and in order to remove this layer of white light, how much energy and effort did our predecessors of the Holy Sword Sect spend to improve this spell, remove that layer of white light, and become the current appearance without any abnormality. ”

"Ah, why is that?"

"Childe, what do you think, the protective shield is a spell used in battle, if you encounter the enemy, you put a few protective shields on your body, and the whole body is full of radiance, then the other party must not be vigilant immediately, knowing that you are going to do it immediately? Or, you have encountered an unknown object of friend or foe, and you put a few layers of protective shields on yourself for the sake of prudence, what do you think, what will the other party think at this time?"

Xu Yan suddenly said: "He probably thinks that I have no good intentions towards him and is ready to do it, or I feel that we are very distrustful of him and have been watching out for him, in this case, the atmosphere may be very unfriendly, that is, I am afraid that the things that could have been communicated and solved will have to be done...... Xuan Yun, what you mean, I probably understand. ”

Looking at Xu Yan as if he really understood, Zhu Youxiang nodded slightly: "It's good that Gongzi understands, the cultivation realm is very beautiful, but the cultivation realm is also very cruel." The relationship between us cultivators, many sects, is very delicate.

When encountering fellow believers from other sects, on the surface, everyone should behave peacefully and politely, but they must be vigilant in their hearts to prevent the other party from suddenly attacking them. At this time, secretly put a few protective shields on yourself, which is the most common prevention method we use.

However, this kind of precautionary measure can only be done in private, and must not be exposed, otherwise it is impolite behavior, which will embarrass everyone, and even damage the friendship between the two sects, and it also seems that my Holy Sword Sect is very undignified and ungraceful, this kind of thing is very delicate, I say so, and I can understand it when I think about it. ”

Xu Yan nodded again and again: "I understand, of course I understand!"

Such a delicate matter may be a little difficult for Westerners to understand, but Xu Yan and Zhu Youxiang are both thorough Orientals, and they can understand that this mode of thinking is often a matter of bleeding and losing face in the minds of Orientals. In order to defend the reputation of the association, several gangs fought and killed and injured dozens or hundreds of people for no reason, which is not unusual.

Zhu Youxiang continued: "Moreover, there is still a great disadvantage to the visible white light shield. ”

Xu Yan was surprised: "Are there any other disadvantages?"

First, if the protective shield is visible and glowing, then when fighting, the enemy can judge how many layers of protective shield you have on your body according to the brightness of the protective shield on your body, and can also judge the strength of your protective spell If the strength of the protection is controlled by the enemy, and the enemy knows the strength of your protection, then it is naturally very disadvantageous to fight. ”

This is something that is very easy to understand, Xu Yan nodded and said: "That's right, there are other disadvantages?"

"A lot of times, battles don't have to start in broad daylight, and they often end up fighting at night. During night battles, if the protective shield on the body is bright, it is equivalent to attracting the target of the enemy's spells, which is naturally very disadvantageous.

It is precisely because of many disadvantages that the seniors in our sect spent decades and finally improved this protective spell to be lightless, colorless and formless, but I didn't expect it to reach the mouth of the son, but I still feel that it is not as good as the original, if the seniors know about it, and hear the words of the child, how much emotion it should be!"

Hearing Zhu Youxiang's ridicule and sarcasm, Xu Yan's face turned red, and he folded his hands and begged for mercy: "Xuan Yun, I said the wrong thing, just let me go! I don't dare to talk nonsense anymore!"

Zhu Youxiang smiled: "Childe, you should practice as soon as possible!" (To be continued.) )
