Chapter 10: Kendo. Heavenly mystery and righteousness
The two sword lights, one red and one blue, merged, intertwined, and separated in the air, and the crisp sound of the sword broke the silence before dawn, bringing a gust of fresh wind in the courtyard in the early morning. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The two figures dancing with the sword light swirled rapidly, bringing up the green leaves and flying flowers in the sky, and intertwined with the sword rainbow to form a beautiful picture.
The movements of the two swords are concise and concise, as smooth as water, as natural as the wind, reflecting a kind of beauty of rigidity and softness, and there is a mystery between advance and retreat, Zhang Chi, bounce, and movement, as if it is closely intertwined with everything between heaven and earth.
As the two figures of the ethereal and lifeless ghosts in the fierce battle suddenly condensed, the entities of me and Li Binglan appeared.
After a fierce fight, Li Binglan was pretty and red, her face was coated with a layer of luster with sweat, and a blue Luo Yi was soaked in sweat and clinged to her body, fully highlighting her proud breasts and perfect curves, with a sassy heroic posture and an elegant sword-holding posture, which constituted a unique charming charm, which made me lose my mind for a while in the battle.
Li Binglan and I are each wrapped in a layer of white air mass like fog and light - this is the light mask in light magic, its function is to protect us from being injured by the opponent's sword, and the other is to show different shades of red dots in the part of the external gravity solidification, representing the degree of possible injury in actual combat, this kind of magic is mainly used in the battle of swordsmen, used to test the strength of swordsmen. Of course, it is not possible for ordinary magicians to use a simulated mask that is sufficient to withstand high-intensity attack power, so the simulated mask is generally used in competitions below the level of the Great Swordsman, and it is rare to use it in the comparison of our superb swordsmen, which is more than Vivien's terrifying magic power.
At this time, Li Binglan smiled and said: "Alex, the speed of your swordsmanship progress has completely crossed your age limit, even if it is purely based on swordsmanship, you are about to enter the apotheosis realm of returning from reality to virtuality. However, if you continue to look around like this, and don't have to put all your mind into receiving my final blow, you will suffer!
My sister's posture with the sword is really graceful! In contrast, Alex's posture is like a turtle crawling! While watching the battle with Vivien, Garsha Ruri clapped and cheered for Li Binglan, and did not forget to tease me a few words.
If I'm like a tortoise, then you're my wife, and what are you? Won't you become a turtle woman? I smiled bitterly and said, I am afraid that there is only one person in the world who dares to compare my chic and calm sword-wielding posture to a turtle.
Are you ready, Alex? Li Binglan waved the divine sword qilin, took a pose, and said to me with a solemn face.
Let my wife test my husband's achievements in swordsmanship in the past four years!
I said it seriously, but I couldn't help but be aroused to win, and I pointed Weiming obliquely on the ground, and when my spirit was all condensed on the tip of the sword, the crimson tip of the sword suddenly flashed with strange light, and the soil on the ground also turned strangely.
Alex, you're a fool! Saying that you can't fight with a sword! Now it's a contest of sword skills, not brute force! Seeing the vision of the tip of my sword, Garsha Ruri immediately coaxed.
I'm sorry! I almost forgot! I said apologetically, immediately dissipating the sword fighting qi that had been unconsciously triggered by the battle intent.
No wonder you, originally sword skills and sword fighting qi were two in one, but now you have to be forcibly separated, it is inevitable that you will not get used to it. Li Binglan chuckled and said, I want to study your sword skills this time, the purpose is to let you understand the difference between the two, don't suppress the power of the sword fighting qi too much, and forget the cultivation of sword skills.
The two sides regained their concentration, leaned over to draw their swords, turned sideways towards each other, and remained motionless in their postures, as if they could reach the end of the earth, and the atmosphere in the field suddenly condensed, and a heavy invisible pressure enveloped the four directions.
Vivien and Gartha Ruri, who were watching from the sidelines, knew that the battle was not dangerous, but they were still nervous for no reason. This is because Li Binglan and I brought the onlooker's Civic into the spiritual enchantment we constructed when we used the Divine Sword.
After a long confrontation in the spiritual realm, but a brief period of momentum in the realm of reality, Li Binglan and I invariably changed from static to stillness, swinging our swords and slashing at each other!
The movements of each other's figures without any acceleration have been transformed into electric light and flying rainbows, which completely violates physical inertia - I saw that the long swords in the hands of both sides turned into dozens of red or blue lights as dazzling as stars, and the lightning shot at each other's figures, and when they approached each other's clothes, the stars disappeared! Instead, there are two blue rainbows and red rainbows that pass through the sky!
Like a streamer, Changhong suddenly froze in the air - the unicorn and the unknown finally joined!
In the afterglow of the sword ringing, the sword lights on both sides were staggered, but I had a very strange feeling - my name was swept out horizontally, and the unicorn in Li Binglan's hand was a straight line with long thorns, but it did not swing the unicorn away as I imagined, but the unicorn suddenly slid away, and then lost the body of the unicorn sword body in front of my eyes!
Li Binglan and I made a mistake, and in the electric light, the two sides exchanged directions.
I put down my right hand with my sword, waved the beads of sweat on my face with my sleeve, and said with a chic smile: I am defeated!
A red dot appeared on the pseudomimetic mask on Libinglan's right shoulder, and the same spot appeared on the heart of my left breast. If calculated in actual combat, Li Binglan only suffered a small injury, but I was hit in a fatal part, so I can only raise my hand to admit it.
Purely in terms of sword skills, Li Binglan is indeed above me, this is an indisputable fact - both sides move the right body of the sword to the enemy, under normal circumstances, the left chest and heart are not likely to be stabbed by the opponent face to face with a long sword in a straight line attack, unless both sides are facing each other, and at the same time hit the opponent's body with a sword, or when fighting with bare hands, attack with both hands at the same time, this situation will occur. But Lybingranche did it—and I was so impressed by this strange skill that I was willing to bow down.
Li Binglan put down the unicorn, took the white towel handed over by Vivian, walked to me, carefully wiped the sweat on my face for me, and then tidied up the messy placket for me before taking care of herself.
While wiping the sweat from her face, she said to me seriously: Alex! In actual combat, sword skills and sword fighting qi are inseparable, and your magic and sword fighting qi are different but homogeneous, so your sword fighting qi is no longer a pure fighting spirit concept in the general sense, it can be called magic sword fighting qi. With your powerful magic sword fighting qi that is unparalleled in the world, you can completely make up for the slight gap between me and me in sword skills, so if I am in a real battle, I will not be able to defeat you at all, and even as long as your sword qi is displayed, my sword momentum will immediately be scattered and defeated. For example, in the last blow just now, if you were supplemented by a disproportionately powerful magic sword fighting qi, it would be impossible for my qilin to penetrate it at all, and it can even be said that there is no sword master in the world who can find this kind of gap from your sword qi deployment head-on. The sword battle supplemented by sword fighting spirit is the real competition, but it has lost the meaning of my battle with you this time.
Swordsmanship is form, sword qi is quality, perhaps the former is the surface, the latter is the inside - the form and quality are complementary to each other, the surface and the inside must go hand in hand, not one side. Although sword qi is the essence and key of sword dao, it is the decisive factor, and sword skills are only subordinate and stubble, but if the sword fighting spirit of both sides is equal, the advantages and disadvantages of sword skills are of decisive significance. Alex, as you conquer the world, you will continue to face more and more powerful opponents, such as those like Ka Miao. Therefore, while improving your magic sword fighting spirit, you should further strengthen your swordsmanship skills, especially if you are not currently able to control your magical powers! Compared to your sword fighting strength, your sword skills still have a long way to go before they reach the Heavenly Mystery Divine Righteousness Realm! In the past, you focused on the cultivation of Qi and neglected the practice of art, but now you should strive to work the cultivation of art!
In fact, in terms of swordsmanship alone, you are also close to the level of the Sword Master, and if it was four years ago, I would not have been able to beat you in this regard. I don't know how you've managed to do it in the past four years! I'm afraid that in addition to being gifted, I will have to go through inhuman tempering! If you can reach this state in a short period of time, I am afraid that you are the first person in eternal times! And your magic sword fighting spirit and incredible magical strength can only be described as breathtaking! Alex, what changes have you experienced in the year of the Lost Forest?
I was silent for a moment before I said, "It was indeed an inhuman time...... Now that I think about it, I feel unbearable to look back on, and I don't know where to start......
Binglan held my hand and said bitterly: Alex! Although Binglan has not experienced it with you, she can understand your hardships, and Binglan empathizes......
At this time, Vivien seemed to recall that time, her eyes became dark, and Garsha Ruri felt the sad atmosphere, and her expression became melancholy.
But I laughed and said, "What about everyone?" Am I not alive and well now? At that time, although I had experienced nine deaths and nine lives, and I had lost most of the memories that Mr. Vitan had left me, I was able to restore some of the chrome prints...... And every time I am reborn, my strength grows exponentially! In addition, I have left behind enough power to fight the gods there, my ultimate helper! It's just that I can't bring them into the human world for the time being—that would be against the heavens and hurt the heavens, so I have to seal them up for now......
Binglan didn't ask me about the Lost Forest again, but continued to explain kendo: speed, line, angle, strength, time, light and darkness, psychology, etc., are the basic elements that make up swordsmanship, but it is not easy to blend these simple factors into Sinnoh's swordsmanship. For example, the trajectory of the sword light is nothing more than a straight line and a curve, but the cooperation of the straight line and the curve at different times and in different directions can derive thousands of different variations. How to grasp each sword accurately, so as to defeat the opponent in the fastest time, in the shortest distance, and consume the least physical energy, requires the accumulation of a lot of experience, has experienced a lot of tempered attempts, and even in the baptism of blood and fire to find out the trick.
The boundaries within the reach of the hand and eye are narrow, and only the range of the heart and eye can be far-reaching. The so-called essence of swordsmanship, controlling the sword with the heart and defeating the enemy with the god, is actually the ultimate improvement of swordsmanship skills at the experience level. For example, the sword I hit you with a time difference and a sudden change of line. Alex, you have a high level of understanding of swordsmanship, and your aesthetic swordsmanship is actually the result of a combination of these characteristics. However, on the one hand, you still focus too much on the use of power, and on the other hand, you pay too much attention to the formal beauty of swordsmanship.
Hearing Li Binglan's painstaking teachings, I had a feeling of sudden enlightenment in my heart, and nodded and said: I understand! In the past, I only focused on how to use magic sword fighting energy and magic to create beautiful and sharp effects, and my understanding of the beauty of swordsmanship only focused on the form and deviated from the essence. Starting from the formal beauty of the sword, this is only to obtain its shape, but not its spirit, and only stays on the extension of beauty; If you directly turn the idea of beauty into a tangible sword momentum, that is, use the divine will to dominate the sword momentum and capture the gap of the opponent, then you can truly obtain the soul of swordsmanship and grasp the connotation of beauty - this is the eye of the heart, that is, the soul of the sword! Binglan, thank you! You gave me a glimpse of the ultimate temple of swordsmanship!
Li Binglan nodded, and said with relief: When swordsmanship reaches a certain level, swordsmanship becomes a personalized thing, a manifestation of personal style. Therefore, each master of swordsmanship has his own unique style of sword-keeping, reflecting different swordsmanship philosophies and swordsmanship ideas, constituting a world of swordsmanship in the Shenglun Continent. But no matter what kind of swordsmanship, when it reaches a certain level, it is actually the same way, and it is all for the pursuit of the ultimate way to use the sword. Alex, your sword style is a combination of strength and beauty, and if you can fully integrate the basic elements of swordsmanship into your aesthetic thoughts, you will become a sword master who is unparalleled and invincible in the world!
Alex!
I was about to speak, but I was caught by Gasha's soft cry, and I saw her look at the sky with a horrified expression.
I, Libinglan, and Vivien all raised their heads and followed Gartha's gaze, only to see that a blue spiral-shaped vortex suddenly appeared in the sky, extending from the center to the outside, and the black dot in the center of the vortex expanded from small to large, and finally evolved into a huge dark cave.
The Door of Space! Li Binglan said in shock.
The so-called space gate refers to the dark passage connecting different time and space, because the passage is an absolutely dark world, which can absorb all energy and light, so it was called a black hole in ancient times. Because it takes a lot of energy to open such a space-time gate, it is mainly a natural formation and the result of transmutation by natural forces - scientists in ancient times believed that black holes would only form when burned-out stars continued to collapse due to their own gravity.
And to create a spatial gate in an unnatural state, I am afraid that only the ten main gods among the gods and the god king have such ability. Of course, the space gate created by the gods is still very different from the black hole described in the ancient books, for example, the space gate does not attract the surrounding matter and energy into the space where it appears, but no light can penetrate through it.
At this time, we had the privilege of witnessing the legendary door of space open in front of us!
I saw a dazzling blue light suddenly burst out from the absolute darkness of the space gate, and then the unicorn beast's lightning light and head flew out of it, and then its vigorous and handsome white body - when the thunder department flew out of the space gate, the space gate continued to shrink until it disappeared, and the vision in the space also disappeared, and the sky returned to calm.
Legend has it that unicorns can fly in different parallel spaces, and it is not surprising that the thunder department, the king of mythical beasts, has this power, but legends are one thing, and witnessing them is another. After all, there is still a big psychological gap between people's acceptance of legends and acceptance of reality.
Since I arrived in the imperial capital, since I have no intention of flying with the Thunder Force, so as not to shock the world, and I do not need to use the Thunder Department as a horse, I have always allowed the Thunder Department to move freely during this time. The Thunder Ministry's own spirituality and wisdom are also beyond that of ordinary humans, we don't have to worry about its daily life and diet at all, plus it has great strength, and we don't need to worry about its safety, no one can hurt it at all.
Of course, because I have a mysterious spiritual connection to it, it will appear to me at any time when I need it, just summon it, and this is the first time it has appeared through a spatial portal after it has been missing for a while.
We were especially amazed that there was a man hunched on its back!
The arrogant and untamable Thunder is usually only tamed by me, and it is because of my relationship that I am kind to Vivien. I never thought that in this world, besides me, Lei Bu would be willing to be sent by others!
When I saw the man on the back of the thunderbolt, I was even more amazed - it was the mysterious Kamiao!
Yesterday I heard from Kasta that Ka Miao wanted to meet with me, but today Ka Miao appeared in front of me in such a surprising way!
Ka Miao separated from the thunder in the air and flew longitudinally, but the falling body suddenly violated the inherent law of gravitational acceleration from fast to slow, and finally landed on the ground like a feather.
The moment he tiptoed to the ground, the surrounding air currents rippled in a circle with his toes as the center, like the ripples of dragonflies on the surface of the water. This is a slight spillover of gravity-defying energy from Ka Miao's recovery.
Thunderbe stopped in front of me, folded his wings, hissed at me affectionately, then nodded at Kamiao, and walked over to me.
Ka Miao, dressed in white, still presents a perfect posture, the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger of his right hand lightly clasp the green jade flute, and his left hand flicks the crystal clear shoulder-length hair, so casually standing, but it is indescribably leisurely and elegant, majestic and heroic - peerless elegance and pride, ten thousand styles are born naturally, which makes people pleasing to the eye at the same time, they have to sigh at the miracle of the creator, and actually create such a character!
Ka Miao looked at me with a smile on his face, and said in his usual idle tone: "King of Meinster, we meet again!"
At this time, Ka Miao's temperament is cold and calm, lazy and casual, and her beautiful voice is like music and rhyme, surround the ears, not at all like the strange performance of that night, and there is no ambiguous look, returning to the impression I had when I first met him in the snowstorm, which made me suspect that Ka Miao that night was not the same person as Ka Miao today.
Alec's greetings to Mr. What a ghostly sir! I replied with a wry smile.
Alec, would you like to accompany me on a trip to another space?
Ka Miao chuckled, before I could answer, he had instantly crossed a space of several feet, appeared in front of me, grabbed my arm with his left hand, and then put the green jade flute in his right hand a little in the air, and countless beams of light burst out from the mouth of the flute, wrapping me and Ka Miao's bodies tightly like a ribbon of silk, forming a ball of light to drown us in it.
With the sudden disappearance of the ball of light, in the exclamations of Libinglan, Vivien, and Garsha Liuli, Ka Miao and I also disillusioned and disappeared in space at the same time.
