Chapter XVII
Fang Zhongdao: "Didn't the predecessors say that there are all ownerless swords here, why does this one have a master again?" ”
The Taoist grabbed the beard on the side of his mouth and pulled it, tilted his head and said, "Yes, why can't you suck it in?" "I was puzzled by the giant wooden sword.
Fang Zhongdao: "Is it the predecessor's method that is not very bright, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't." But even if it's not very bright, as long as you do it occasionally, it's amazing. ”
When the Taoist heard Fang Zhong say that this method is not bright, I am afraid that this rare person of appreciation will be lost, so he dragged it hard in a hurry, tore off two more sparse beards, shook his head and said: "My method has been tried and tested, how can it not be bright." All the swords that I can't open are either discarded swords, or the swords that have been formed through the veins have been formed and rejected by me. That's what this sword is. ”
Fang Zhong pointed to the wooden sword and said, "Senior, this method can only be used on the sword of the ownerless, like this sword of the owner, it will not work, right?" ”
The man lowered his head and said, "This is indeed a small flaw in my method. ”
Fang Zhong carefully observed the wooden sword, and found that in addition to the word 'Qian' engraved on one side of the sword body, and the word 'Kun' engraved on the reverse side, he reached out and held the hilt of the sword again, and with a luck, hey, raised it again. The man glared and said, "Good strength." Although Fang Zhong took it, this sword was too big and heavy, and he couldn't do it for half a minute, how could he practice the sword, so he had to put it back on the sword stand, and said in disappointment: "Even if it's a good sword with a vein, it's useless if I can't use it, if it's smaller, it's a pity." ”
The Taoist stayed for a while, and said earnestly: "Although my method is only useful for the masterless sword, it can be regarded as a different way, it is better to cultivate it slowly." You...... Are you still learning? "I'm afraid that Fang Zhong thinks that this method is too flawed, and he doesn't want to learn it anymore, and even looks down on him.
Fang Zhong said with a smile: "If the predecessors are willing to teach, the disciples are willing to learn." ”
The Taoist was overjoyed, and pulled Fang Zhong and said, "Let's find another sword to try." "Leave this row of wooden swords, and go to the front row instead. Fang Zhong carried the small wooden sword that had opened the veins in his hand, and looked back at the strange giant wooden sword, although he was a little reluctant, but he had no ability to use it, so he could only give up for the time being.
The two of them came to the row of sword racks made of fine iron. The Taoist pointed to these swords: "There are all kinds of swords here, such as raw, cooked, cold, warm, etc., although the sword quality and muscles are different, the veins are similar. I'll pick a good one for you. He looked at the sword stand and touched it, took out a long sword, and brought it to Fang Zhong's eyes. The body of this sword is like a puddle of autumn water, bright and connoisseurship, the gauntlet is wound with a little gold wire, and the end of the hilt is hollowed out and embedded in an ordinary jasper, which is a good sword that can be used for appreciation, although it is not as luxurious as the gold and silver swords behind, it is also considered to be of the upper grade in the ordinary sword.
Fang Zhong likes simplicity, and he is very pessimistic about things that wear gold and silver, and he doesn't like it except for the sword body, so he didn't like it before, and asked, "Is this sword good?" ”
The man said, "Can I pick one?" You see this sword body, smooth and straight, without the slightest impurity, the muscles and bones and sword quality are excellent, and what is even better is that I feel that this sword is a talent that can be made, the veins are very easy to smooth, and it is naturally handy to use. ”
Fang Zhong only cared about that human method, and he was still second to the sword, so he nodded and said, "Then pick this one." Please try the method of the sword vein again. ”
The Taoist took the sword in his hand with great interest, stretched out his other hand, and said, "Qi is condensed in the palm." Fang Zhong hurriedly stretched out his palm as well, and the qi flowed along his arm and wrist to his palm. A white mist came out of the Daoist's hand, but Fang Zhong's breath was held in the palm of his hand, but he couldn't rush out, and with another urge, with a snort, a ball of real fire burned from the palm of his hand. Fang Zhong hurriedly shook his hand and extinguished the fire. The Taoist smiled and said: "Don't worry, you put out the fire but you are still lucky, won't you be able to come out." Fang Zhong thought about it and did it again, but as soon as the fire in this palm was extinguished, the true qi just couldn't come out, and even tried it a few times, shaking his head and saying angrily: "I only heard that those who have cultivated to a high level can separate their essence and qi, and they can do it as lowly as me, how can they do it?" ”
The Taoist retracted his palm, clenched it into a fist, and the qi was also wrapped in his palm, and said, "Is your cultivation high or my cultivation high?" ”
Fang Zhongdao: "Naturally, the cultivation of the predecessors is high. Suddenly, I thought it was wrong, the true qi of the Taoist was not as good as mine, and it seemed that my cultivation was higher, and he said: "It's because the seniors have more experience." ”
The Taoist smiled: "Experience can be learned, you see! "Spread out your palm, that air mass is still in your palm." That's what I learned from this handshake. Fang Zhongqi said: "Between a hand? "Master the fist, slow down the luck, and feel the true qi slowly gather in the palm. Fang Zhong was overjoyed, it turned out that this method of movement could make the true qi stay in the palm of his hand. He also learned the Tao, slowly opened his palm, but as soon as he let go, part of the true qi returned to his body, and part of it stayed in his palm for a while, and it disappeared without a trace.
The Taoist said: "This matter is not urgent, you can do it with more practice." "Turn the air mass in the palm of your hand into the shape of a chick, and pour it into the sword body. Fang Zhong remembered that he was going to use this sword, and as soon as he urged his true qi, a chick came out, which was really a joke, and he hurriedly said: "Senior, please change your tricks." ”
The Taoist shook his head and said, "I won't be complicated, you don't want chickens, so what do you want?" I'll only be round. ”
Fang Zhong hesitated: "This ...... This ...... "originally wanted him to make a sword-shaped tiger or something, but this senior master said that it would only be round, so it was really difficult."
Seeing that Fang Zhong didn't say anything, the Taoist made up his mind and said, "You don't want chickens, I'll help you transform and see what it looks like." "I closed my eyes, contemplated my luck, and after a while I saw sweat on my forehead, which seemed to be very hard, and the chicks in the palm of my hand were big and small, and then two heads were longer, and gradually one head moved to the other, and the appearance was strange.
At this critical juncture, someone shouted: "Lai Pi Zhang, what are you doing!?" ”
Fang Zhong and the Daoist were both taken aback, the true qi in the Daoist's hand was about to disperse, and he didn't care what it looked like, as soon as the sword was closed, the ball of true qi merged into the sword body. The Taoist threw away his sword and sat down. Just this change, he was so tired that he just wanted to lie on the ground and rest.
Someone rushed over to take a look at it, and said angrily: "Lai Pi Zhang, you actually destroyed another sword." He kicked the priest in the shoulder and knocked him to the ground. The man shouted, "Kill me, kill me." ”
Fang Zhong was shocked: "Senior brother, why are you beating him?" ”
