Half-step Thousand Autumn Chronicles (II)
"How's the sword wu?" The old man's voice came from behind, and Yi Tianyun immediately got up and saw the old man coming slowly.
"Every time I recite the sword trick before I go out with the sword, I haven't slackened off for a month... The three stairs with can be coherent and no longer fall. Yi Tianyun looked at the old man respectfully and replied truthfully respectfully.
"Then how is your sword enlightenment? ”
The old man didn't seem to hear it, and asked again.
Yi Tianyun was stunned, figuring out the deep meaning of the old man's words.
"What is the purpose of teaching you sword skills for the teacher and letting you practice the most basic sword holding posture... Do you know?" the old man looked at Yi Tianyun's silent appearance, and suddenly became serious.
"Come, memorize the sword trick. ”
Yi Tianyun blurted out the obscure sword trick without thinking.
"It's a glance at the back, do you understand the back?" the old man stretched out his hand to pick up his sword from the table, "Stuck to rot, rigid appearance." Stupid apprentice, for the sake of the teacher, I ask you, what is this. ”
The glazed long sword flickered, and a finger-deep sword mark groove appeared on the ground out of thin air, cracking out several meters away silently.
"It's ...... The vitality of the monk?"
"So what?" said the old man beckoned to fetch a wooden branch and threw it at the sword mark.
There was a crisp click, and under the surprised gaze of the three people, the wooden branch cracked, and the section was smooth as if it had been cut by a sharp blade.
Yi Tianyun was speechless for a long time, this scene was simply incredible.
"What is the sword of enlightenment, what is the sword of enlightenment. It is ridiculous that only Yuan Qi can break through this three-foot distance. Yuan Qi is only your means, your foundation, but how to use it still depends on your ideas. The swordsman does not understand the sword intent, and no matter how beautiful the sword tricks are, they are all showmanship, and the spirit and form are indispensable. ”
"Did you feel holding a sword during the month?"
"Seemingly... It seems to be more proficient, and it feels like this sword is not as cold as before. ”
"Then tell me again, have you realized the sword intent?"
"Disciple no..."
The old man changed hands and grabbed the hilt of the sword, pinched the sword with one hand and pointed it in front of Yi Tianyun.
In the quiet courtyard, the wind is still howling, and it rises suddenly.
The sword intent is pressing, Yi Tianyun is like falling into an ice cave, as if he will be torn apart by this raging sword intent in the next moment, and this overwhelming sense of suffocation is consistent with the sword intent in the water and sky realm in the dream that day.
When Yi Tianyun came back to his senses, all feelings disappeared, the two people next to him were still laughing, and the old man in front of him was looking at him calmly.
"This is the sword intent, this is the sword intent mentioned in the sword technique. ”
The old man walked up to Yi Tianyun and sat down, motioning for Yi Tianyun to sit down as well.
"So what to do, you didn't do anything wrong, but your head is a little stupid. ”
The old man showed his face, the seriousness of the tense dissipated, and he put the sword back on the table and motioned for Yi Tianyun to sit down.
"Do you know why the teacher didn't teach you to refine qi, and even let you understand the sword without letting you open that piece of qi trick?"
"The disciple doesn't know..."
"You don't have that kind of expression, nothing else, just because of your stupid head. The old man teased, looking at Yi Tianyun's embarrassed appearance.
"As a teacher, if you start with refining qi first, with your mental nature, you will have to find out the sword intent at least after the seventh grade... But by that time, it would have been too late to comprehend these decades of sword intent. ”
"Stupid apprentice, as a teacher, I will first tell you about the monk's division of these exercises and secrets. People have strengths and weaknesses, and the exercises are naturally different. Regardless of whether the monks are north or south, they are divided into three, six, nine and so on according to this rank, regardless of the advantages and inferiors, only the power. From the most common, simplest, and least powerful Mortal Stage, it is followed by the True Stage, the Thousand Autumn Period, and finally the Enlightenment Stage, which transcends the realm of characters, for a total of four qualities, and then the upper, middle, and lower levels vary from place to place. Generally speaking, the pinnacle of the rank of the exercises in this state is the Qianqiu Period, and there are only a few people who hold them... How many steps do you think you can reach with this self-created sword intent for the teacher?"
Yi Tianyun clenched his fist and slowly knocked his knees, giving an answer that he thought was reliable.
"Master's sword intent can reach the true level?"
"Trust Master, think again. ”
"It's not a mortal order..."
The old man waved his hand and generously rewarded Yi Tianyun with a chestnut.
"Stupid apprentice, the sword intent of the teacher has glimpsed the mystery of the Qianqiu Age, how can you guess further and further behind!?"
Yi Tianyun covered his head and looked at the old man pitifully, and the two behind him slipped aside early when they saw this, for fear of harming themselves.
