Chapter 122: The Mystery of the Way of the Sword
Xiao Feng unconsciously looked shocked on his face!
"Who are you, how do you know that my master is Shan Yu?" he asked, his surprised face full of incredulity.
Yi Huan didn't show too much expression because of his surprise, his face still didn't change, and he said slowly: "Every swordsman has his specific footwork and sword moves, forming a family school. I have studied with your master, Mr. Shan, so I know the characteristics of his moves. Judging by your moves, who else could it be if it wasn't his student?"
Shan Yu, when he was solving the case of Chu Jue in Huicheng in Lingnan, the owner of the Xuanling Sword before Chu Jue was Shan Yu. This person is the second-ranked swordsman in Huicheng, with a superb sword edge, and can kill people invisibly! When Yi Huan was still a nameless junior, he had a dispute with a bully, and Shan Yu once came to help, and also taught Yi Huan, that is, Murong Fu, who had never been invisible, some kendo tricks.
It was during those days that Yi Huan had a little understanding of swordsmanship. Speaking of which, Shan Yu can also be regarded as his first teacher on the road of martial arts!
"It turns out that you have crossed paths with my master, and my master has always been cautious in making friends, so it seems that you must be a reliable gentleman. Under Xiao Feng, I'm deeply sorry for what happened to Fang Cai!" Xiao Feng put away his sword and bowed.
Swordsmen practice the way of the sword. In the way of the sword, there is majesty and benevolence. At this point, Xiao Feng still did a good job.
"What I just said is clear, and it is not a lie. Actually, your master, Shan Yu, has done just that. After Yi Huan finished speaking, he turned to ask: "Xiao Feng, think about it, your master, has he ever entrusted you with anything?"
Xiao Feng thought sideways for a while, and replied, "Master said that in terms of practicing kendo techniques, he needs to teach me, and he has already taught almost everything. As for the mental method and realm, I still need to figure it out for myself. β
Shan Yu pointed him in a direction, and later, he continued to be a lonely ranger. The time and space that came were empty, and the time that went was empty, and they did not bring anything with them, nor did they take anything with them. Not even a sword, not a scabbard, has not even been seen.
"Xiao Feng, it can be said that you swordsmen are obsessed with martial arts, not the soul path of our soul masters, so they don't have magical abilities like brilliant magic. However, if we refine our sword intent, the lethality we can bring is far more powerful than our soul technique!" Yi Huan said in a determined tone.
"But how is this possible? Sir, it's not that I don't believe what you say, it's just that our swordsmen, no matter how high our cultivation is, are just flesh and blood and an iron weapon. What kind of wind and waves can be rolled up?" Xiao Feng asked.
Yi Huan listened, and finally understood in his heart why Xiao Feng, as Shan Yu's apprentice, could never learn the essence of swordsmanship. Because his mind and realm have been completely bound by some things.
At this time, the rope that bound him must be untied in order to break through.
He turned to say, "Xiao Feng, when Mr. Shan Yu teaches his apprentices, he will let them remember their broken sword. Do you remember how many swords you've broken?"
He looked at Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng lowered his head and counted his fingers for a while, and finally understood.
"Sir, is that knife you broke before?" he asked.
Yi Huan shook his head: "You are practicing the way of the sword, so naturally you have to count the sword." β
Xiao Feng rechecked it and replied, "A total of six six thirty-six swords!"
Thirty-six swords,
This level is staggering enough. It can be seen that Xiao Feng's obsession with kendo is not inferior to Chu Jue back then. However, his strength is far less terrifying than Chu Jue.
Chu Jue can control the three successes of the Xuanling Sword. And Xiao Feng obviously doesn't even have the qualifications to be recognized by the Xuanling Sword Divine Sense!
What Chu Jue has is the comprehension of sword intent and his own extraordinary talent. And Xiao Feng has always been bound by some obsessions. Now if he wants to break through the bottleneck, I'm afraid there must be a way to get rid of these obsessions.
"Xiao Feng, do you know anything about the Yin King Book?" asked Yi Huan.
"I don't know. Xiao Feng replied.
He only learned that the Book of the Yin King could hook the soul of a mortal, making the mortal body a walking corpse, and after three days, there would be no life. At that time, when the ghost king Yu Che hooked the names of all the villagers in Lucheng in the book of the Yin King, he happened to be out on business, so he was spared.
However, when he returned, he found the home deserted and empty. Just when he wanted to find Bai Yan, who he had been responsible for protecting, he saw the scene where Bai Yan knelt down as a slave and handed over the Will of Light to the Ghost King!
How can he accept this!
"The Book of the Yin King can hook away people's souls, but as long as they can have the will of light, they can take back the souls of people who have been deliberately hooked on it. That's right, Bai Yan didn't know about this matter, so when she handed over the Will of Light, she didn't realize that the Ghost King wanted to ask her about her true intention to blackmail the Will of Light and the chips in her hand. Yi Huan said.
"Damn!" Xiao Feng slammed the ground. It could have been remedied, but the Will of Light was taken away from it, making everything irretrievable.
"Do you remember Bai Yan's appearance at that time? I think she must have injuries on her body, right?" asked Yi Huan.
Listening to Yi Huan's words, Xiao Feng thought about it, it seemed that yes, and the injuries on Bai Yan's body at that time were still very serious! Could it be that she had already fought to the death with the Ghost King before this?
"So, your misunderstanding of Bai Yan is too deep. Yi Huan said again.
"But even if she has already fought, she can't finally hand over the Will of Light! That is the treasure of the town that we in Lucheng guards! Such an important treasure, we are sworn to protect with our lives!" Xiao Feng said.
"I guess that's what Bai Yan thinks. Yi Huan suddenly changed his words, thinking for a while.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Feng didn't understand.
"Because the purpose of the Ghost King to take away the Will of Light, in addition to preventing anyone from attempting to modify the Book of the Yin King, there is also another purpose, which is to refine the Light Divine Sparrow in the Will of Light. If he can refine the Time Divine Sparrow, his strength will be greatly improved. Yi Huan said, "However, the premise of refining the Time Divine Sparrow is that there must be an inheritor who guards the will of light to sacrifice blood for him on a regular basis, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong in the refining process." And on the last day of refining, the Ghost King's body will become extremely weak. β
"You mean, Bai Yan often sacrificed his own blood for him in order to find an opportunity to kill the Ghost King completely?" Xiao Feng suddenly understood what Yi Huan meant at this moment.
According to what he said, Bai Yan is not stealing his life, but wants to avenge his fellow villagers!
"I'm afraid it's not just revenge, she also hopes to steal the Yin King Book out and save the lives of the people of Lucheng. Of course, Bai Yan's idea is still too naΓ―ve. She knew the weaknesses when refining, and so did the Ghost King
γ On that day, there will definitely be a demon clan master to protect him. With Bai Yan's current ability, there is no way to eliminate the ghost king who will be refined at that time. Yi Huan continued.
"What can I do then? In this case, wouldn't Bai Yan also be in danger?" Xiao Feng was anxious.
Only then did he know that Bai Yan was wronged, but at this time, Bai Yan was already in danger, and everything seemed irreparable.
"Actually, there is a way to get her out. Your help is needed, though. Yi Huan said.
"What can I help you?" Xiao Feng smiled and laughed at himself, he was just a half-hung swordsman, and the sword he came out of, Yi Huan's two fingers could be easily broken, let alone the ghost king. If he Xiao Feng goes, won't he hold people back?
"You are a swordsman who is specifically responsible for protecting the guardians of the Will of Light, how can it be that when it comes to a critical moment, you don't have your help?" Yi Huan said, "You think you are weak, but you haven't done what your master said." If you can do what your master asks, I'm afraid that even if I use ten percent of my soul power, I won't be able to stop a sword in your hand now. β
"What are you kidding? My sword intent can reach this realm? impossible," Xiao Feng shook his head and smiled helplessly, "Besides, what Master taught me back then, I have been practicing repeatedly every day, and I have never been lazy for a day." That's how high I thought a swordsman like me could reach. β
With that, he looked down at his sword and stopped talking.
"You are wrong, what your master taught you, there is one more thing that you have not been able to achieve. β
Yi Huan said, very sure.
"What my master taught me, why is my husband sure that I didn't do what he said?" Xiao Feng asked, "Could it be that my master has ever heard my master talk about this?"
"No, but I'm sure your master told you that to practice swordsmanship, you must break the wind and break the seventy-seven forty-nine swords, break the seventy-seven forty-nine swords with the masters, and have a peerless treasure to walk the world through three springs and autumns, a total of ninety-nine, in order to become a sword cultivator. Yi Huan said.
Xiao Feng lowered his head and thought, his master seems to have indeed taught himself that the comprehension of sword intent, when he was a beginner, he could not spare the sword, and in the middle stage, when the sword intent was mature, he must know how to protect the sword, and only by passing the tricks of the master can he break a sword with one move to force out a peerless master. And in the end, when the sword intent is clear, you must find a confidant of the sword intent, and then you can have a major cultivation.
In this way, it seems that I have indeed failed to meet Master's requirements.
"If you can even do what Mr. Shan Yu said, I'm afraid that the Ghost King will no longer be your opponent at this time. And I, I can't stop you even with a sword. The reason why you haven't comprehended the true power of the sword intent is because your Dao is still too shallow. Yi Huan said again.
Xiao Feng nodded approvingly. Indeed, I have been ignoring the true meaning of what Master taught me. It seems that it is not that the swordsman is incompetent, but that he is too young.
"But sir, what should I do to achieve my initial goal?" Xiao Feng asked.
Listening to Yi Huan's words, it seems that it is too difficult to make a breakthrough in the way of the sword. He also understands that now Bai Yan is in dire straits, if he really needs his own help to rescue Bai Yan and the people as Yi Huan said, then his time is running out.
"I can do it for you and help you learn kendo. But before I do it again, I have something to ask you. Yi Huan said.
