Chapter 36: Introduction to Sword Intent
Qin Lingtian sat here and cultivated hard every day, and time flowed, slipping by little by little.
Daily cultivation was lonely, but Qin Lingtian was happy to do it, whether it was the formation or the spiritual power, it was slowly growing.
An old voice came from the front, "Son, come in." ”
Qin Lingtian suddenly opened his eyes and found that at some point in front of him, a condensed void black hole had appeared.
Qin Lingtian patted the dust on his body and strode in.
"Little guy, what's your name?" The old man looked at Qin Lingtian kindly, with irrepressible excitement in his eyes.
Qin Lingtian was attracted as soon as he entered, he was in a bamboo forest, with several small houses made of bamboo, small bridges and flowing water, and there was leisure and elegance everywhere.
The old man was dressed in a blue cloth robe, and his gray hair was deeply wrinkled, and although it was twilight, his eyes were very calm. There is also a long sword behind him, and there is no hermit more than this.
The old man seemed to have not seen a newcomer for a long time, and his joy was overflowing.
Qin Lingtian bowed extremely humbly: "The kid's name is Qin Lingtian, he came here to break through, and I hope that my seniors will wish me out." ”
The old man's expression suddenly changed slightly, his words were displeased, and he said slowly to Qin Lingtian, "Do you know how many years I've been here? My soul has been here for too long, and I almost forgot what the outside world looks like. You don't have to think about going out, you can't get out here. ”
Qin Lingtian was speechless for a while, I didn't come here to accompany you, I have a task to complete.
Qin Lingtian didn't dare to anger this old man, here, Qin Lingtian was not even cannon fodder, anyone who had lived for an unknown number of years was someone who had lived for an unknown number of years, and strangling himself was similar to strangling an ant.
The old man looked at Qin Lingtian's ever-changing expression, sighed, and said lightly, "Come with me." ”
Directly took Qin Lingtian to a place not far from the bamboo forest, this place was extremely gloomy, Qin Lingtian could feel that there was a powerful force in it, very familiar. All the way to the depths of this place, that feeling intensified in Qin Lingtian's heart.
The old man stopped, and Qin Lingtian saw a black broken sword with a glowing glow inserted in front of a door in front of him, even though the hilt was rusty, the blade was still sharp.
A sword intent emanating from the black sword evoked Qin Lingtian's thoughts, and Qin Lingtian thought of the girl in black, and a resolute and serene appearance came to mind. Qin Lingtian couldn't help but feel a pain in his head, his face was full of bitterness, and the past was unbearable.
The old man smiled: "If I'm not mistaken, you haven't even held a sword now, let alone sword intent." Qin Lingtian also scratched in embarrassment.
The old man said leisurely: "Then you will definitely not be able to leave, the only way to get out of here is to pull out this sword, you must also feel it, to get out of this sword, you have to bear the sword intent in it, and this sword intent at least reaches the second level, how long do you think you will stay here?"
Qin Lingtian suspected that his ears had heard it wrong, wasn't he just a test of the Spirit Realm?
The sword intent is only five in total, and when it reaches two, isn't it a joke, especially someone like him who has never held a sword. When the old man saw Qin Lingtian's tangled expression, he was immediately in a good mood, and patted Qin Lingtian on the shoulder comfortingly.
Qin Lingtian knelt down on his legs without hesitation, and pleaded, "Ask my seniors to teach me swordsmanship!" looked at the old man with firm eyes, expecting the old man's affirmation.
The old man asked curiously, "How do you know that I can teach you?"
Qin Lingtian stiffened his head and said helplessly: "There must be no second person here, and I'm not sure, but you are definitely better than me." ”
The old man laughed after hearing this, and said heartily: "Boy, it is direct enough, and it is indeed suitable for playing with swords." Qin Lingtian felt awkward for a while after hearing this.
The old man's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and he slowly exhaled: "But, if I don't teach, won't you stay here in the future." ”
Qin Lingtian was indeed afraid that the old man would use this to blackmail him, but this was not Qin Lingtian's only choice, seeing the old man thinking like this, Qin Lingtian could also imagine it, after all, he had been here for so long, it was understandable to want to stay alone with him, but Qin Lingtian couldn't!
Qin Lingtian simply stood up directly, sat cross-legged against this sword and began to comprehend.
The old man was also stunned, why didn't this kid play cards according to common sense, and he begged himself again, maybe he would agree.
The old man shouted, "That's it, it's gone, how can someone teach you, you should at least have to apprentice to the teacher, and after serving me for a few years, I will teach you directly as soon as I am happy." Even if you're stupid, within three years, you'll definitely be able to get out. ”
Qin Lingtian ignored him, and let him talk alone for a long time.
The old man didn't expect Qin Lingtian to be so difficult, he didn't eat soft and hard, the old man couldn't bear it anymore, he gritted his teeth and said: "This is the lowest, it can't be lower, as long as you serve me for a year, I will teach you with all my strength after a year!"
Qin Lingtian said forcefully: "One month." ”
The old man suspected that there was something wrong with his ears this time, and the angry old man flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly, and turned his head away.
Qin Lingtian didn't stop him, the rest was just assistance, the most important thing was his own understanding, but this detour had to be taken, in a month's time, even if he didn't teach me, he could get started.
Qin Lingtian couldn't get too close to the sword at first, the sword intent contained in the sword was too powerful, even he was easily injured.
Qin Lingtian found a suitable place and began his cultivation, but behind him, the old man was observing him all the time.
It was not the first time Qin Lingtian had come into contact with sword intent, and he didn't feel anything terrible about sword intent, but instead felt that power warm from his heart.
Qin Lingtian pulled away the chaotic sword intent in the space, and every trace of sword intent was mixed with the perception of life. And Qin Lingtian felt sadness, loneliness, and longing in this sword...... Qin Lingtian casually grabbed a trace of sword intent and fell into it deeply......
In the weak sword intent, I seemed to see the picture of a person holding this sword, this person looked at the world, the sword intent was full of sky, without any gorgeous moves, a sword shattered mountains and rivers, as if the heavens and the earth were going to crawl under his feet, and suddenly swept towards himself with a sword......
When Qin Lingtian woke up, he was already sweating profusely and his whole body was soaked. Qin Lingtian still had palpitations when he thought about it, but Qin Lingtian's understanding of sword intent was even more profound.
Qin Lingtian continued to begin to capture the sword intent, followed by a trace of sword intent, a young man holding a sword in his hand, facing the fierce beast without flinching. The eyes are firm, the sword aura is compelling, and it moves as it wishes, leading, ringing, stabbing, spinning, resisting, gathering, and slashing in one go, and the beast falls to the ground with a bang.
Qin Lingtian was shocked, at such an age, with such an enemy, Qin Lingtian was also deeply admired.
Qin Lingtian didn't realize the sword intent again, and began to find a bamboo pole at random, imitating the young man just now, the faint aura was transported into the bamboo, the bamboo was like a sword, the hand and the sword were one, surrounding the upper body, turning back and stabbing, like a storm; dexterous jumping, wrapping around the sword's body; the sword handle was back, the mind and mind were one, the sword spirit gathered, and slashed!
The old man looked at Qin Lingtian, who was dancing with swords, his expression at this time did not have the playful attitude he had before, and he stood there with a serious face. Qin Lingtian kept looking away, starting again, using several sword moves back and forth, it was still not right, Qin Lingtian began to practice.
In the past twenty days, Qin Lingtian has been practicing back and forth, and now when he practiced, it was a world of difference compared to before, slow and fast, the heart was to the sword, and a set of sword moves was extremely smooth, but compared with the young man, Qin Lingtian always felt that something was missing, sword intent?
What is that. Qin Lingtian sat on the ground, thinking about the difference contained in the young man's sword, the young man's movements appeared in his mind over and over again, I don't know how long it took, Qin Lingtian lay on the ground with a wry smile, still without a clue.
Qin Lingtian felt that the wind here was very weak, the slight friction between the leaves and the air, and the grass flakes danced with the wind.
Qin Lingtian immediately thought of the usual words: the sword intent is to stand in the heart, to find in life, every grass and tree, all hidden in the form, the heart is formed, the intention is formed, and the sword is formed. Qin Lingtian listened attentively to his surroundings, the flowers bloomed silently, the leaves fell silently, floating by, standing in his heart.
The leaves move with the wind or the leaves help the wind, the faint grass still stands between heaven and earth despite the strong wind, but the dust flutters with the wind. Qin Lingtian seemed to pry open the door of another world, jumped up directly, and came again! Qin Lingtian danced, came to the wind, and returned with the wind.
Every move and style has a little more meaning than before, and the invisible sword qi of the slowly waving bamboo slashed across the trees, boulders, and a deep trace was engraved on it, the sword qi flew, surrounding Qin Lingtian, Qin Lingtian's heart was clear, the sword qi became more and more dense, and the things around Qin Lingtian shattered.
Suddenly, Qin Lingtian pointed straight ahead, the black broken sword in front of him seemed to be provoked, and the sword intent was pervasive, and he quickly struck directly at Qin Lingtian.
The old man watched quietly at this time, and he was a little nervous in his heart, this is a feeling that he hasn't felt for many years, and the old man is ready to make a move at any time.
Qin Lingtian was still indomitable, facing his hands together, he shouted angrily: "Kill!" The surrounding sword qi underwent a qualitative change, the sword intent condensed, and rushed away, "Bang!" Qin Lingtian held on for a few seconds before flying out.
