Chapter 16 Patterns

Fang Zhong was about to say this, pointing to the left and right sword frames and said, "Then please tell the seniors, which sword is better, and the disciple will take which one." ”

The man said proudly: "Whether the sword is good or not, you can't just look at the appearance, but also the texture." Some sword light drawings are beautiful but not strong, and they are useful for breaking them when they are struck; However, some swords are sturdy, but they are clumsy, heavy, and difficult to use, so it is better to take a large plate axe directly, so only those with high quality and comfortable use are good swords. ”

Fang Zhong said admiringly: "The senior is reasonable, but how can we judge that those swords are superior in quality and comfortable to use?" ”

The man said: "All good swords must have three points: the sword quality is uniform, the muscles and bones are sound, and the veins are smooth, just like one of the people who breathes and breathes in an orderly manner." The sword of the ownerless, although the muscles and bones are complete, but the veins are not smooth, and it cannot exert the due power of the sword, so it can only win with the quality of the sword; There is the sword of the Lord, it is like self-cultivation and qi training, Zhou Tian operates, and the original unsmooth vein is opened, and the sword has spirituality, and the more the sword master cultivates to a higher level, the more powerful this sword is, even beyond the limit of its sword quality. Of these three points, context is the most important. "The first time Fang Zhong heard that the sword also has a vein like a human being, seeing that he said that he was the Tao, he was even more admired.

Fang Zhong held the wooden sword in his hand and said, "Please take a look at the context of this sword, senior?" ”

The man took it with a smile, stroked it for a while, and said: "It's a pity that it's a wooden sword, although it has muscles and bones, the quality of the sword is poor. Holding the hilt of the sword with one hand, he closed his eyes, shook his luck twice, and then opened his eyes and said: "This is the sword of the ownerless, the veins are not smooth, and it is average." Stretched out his hand and handed it to Fang Zhong.

Fang Zhong said disappointedly: "That disciple has another handle, looking for one with a smooth vein." "Put the wooden sword back in the sword rack.

The man shook his head and said, "You don't have to look for it, the swords here are all ownerless swords, and the veins are not connected." ”

Fang Zhong was stunned and said, "It's all impossible?" ”

Daodaodao: "As soon as these swords are cast, they are put into the sword room for people to choose, and they have never been used, how can they be passed?" ”

Fang Zhongdao: "What about those swords that have passed?" ”

Dao said: "The sword that has been passed is either in the hands of the sword owner, or it has been collected, and it will never be placed in this sword room where there are ownerless swords." If you want to have a peerless sword, you don't rely on your own cultivation, you need someone else to give you a sword that has a good vein, and there is no other way. ”

Fang Zhong said: "I'm afraid that disciple only has one way to cultivate. He picked up the wooden sword again and said to himself, "But I don't know how the sword is connected?" ”

The man said: "Your true qi is so abundant, and the veins of the sword are very easy to understand." As long as you infuse your true qi into the sword body and run back and forth, this vein will be cleared sooner or later, but the future achievements of this sword depend on your own cultivation. ”

Fang Zhongxi said: "I see, it's okay!" Hey? How did the seniors know that the disciples were really full of energy. ”

The man smiled and said, "I hid behind this giant sword, and I wanted to hold down the giant sword to prevent you from seeing it, but I didn't expect that your strength was greater than mine, and you picked up the sword." Only then did Fang Zhong suddenly understand why he suddenly sank when he lifted the giant wooden sword, it turned out to be the result of his secret evil. The Taoist seemed to be a little embarrassed by his actions, and was eager to save face, and said: "Although you are full of true qi, it is not as clever as my method, if I come to open up the vein of the sword, it will be determined in an instant, and you can conjure up many tricks, this you will be absolutely inferior." ”

Fang Zhong said curiously, "Oh? Is there such a shortcut? ”

The Taoist said with a smile on his face: "This is a method that this Daoist Master has come up with after years of study, and it is not easy to show people." Having said that, he snatched the wooden sword in Fang Zhong's hand, pointed at Fang Zhong and said, "What should a good sword look like?" ”

Fang Zhong said hesitantly: "A good sword should sharpen iron like clay, cut gold and jade, and not hurt a bit." ”

The Taoist shook his head and said, "Narrow-minded, that's just a rare sword at most." A really good sword should be above the quality of the sword, the edge is not revealed, the sword qi hurts people, and it is indestructible with a wave of the hand, relying not on the sword itself, but on the sword qi that is used by the sword. The sword has a small success, gathering qi like a bundle, hurting people within ten steps; The sword has a great achievement, the sword qi is like a rainbow, and it takes people's lives within a hundred steps; The sword is at the top, the sword qi is tangible and non-qualitative, if it is real and illusory, it can be long and short, it can be sent and received freely, and it is all under the sword qi. Only in this realm can it be said that it is a good sword. ”

Fang Zhongdao: "The seniors think that the difference between a good sword lies in the use of sword qi, but this is related to the level of cultivation, and there is no urgency. ”

The Taoist smiled: "If the sword network has been passed, a little luck can send out the sword qi, is it rare that you can't be in a hurry?" ”

Fang Zhongxi said: "Seniors have this kind of ability? The Taoist did not answer, holding a sword in one hand and palm up in the other, only to see a white mist slowly rising in the palm of his hand, accumulating thicker and thicker, and finally condensing into an air mass. Fang Zhong was surprised: "How did the seniors do this ability to condense their qi outside? That person's face turned red, and he had no time to talk to Fang Zhong, so he took care of himself and put the wooden sword across the air mass, a strange thing happened, and the air mass in his palm slowly disappeared into the sword body. Fang Zhong opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it.

The air mass disappeared, and the Taoist took a long breath and said, "Okay, this sword vein has been opened, and it can even emit sword qi." You take it and give it a try, it's not fake. ”

Fang Zhong took the wooden sword, and with a little luck, he felt that the true qi was descending, and poured into the sword body without hindrance, pointing the tip of the sword to the ground, and with a snap, an air mass emerged from the tip of the sword and hit the ground, breaking the paved green bricks twice. Fang Zhong said happily: "It's really feasible. The senior's skills are truly remarkable. ”

When the Taoist heard the compliment, his eyebrows immediately fluttered, the corners of his mouth grinned to the roots of his ears, revealing the roots of the two broken front teeth in his mouth, and his sparse and gray beard shook on both sides, and he was very happy, and it seemed that he didn't know how long he hadn't heard anyone praise him.

Fang Zhong said respectfully: "How did the senior's ability to condense qi and introduce the sword body from the outside did it? ”

The Taoist smiled and said, "Do you want to learn?" I'll tell you, don't tell anyone. Fang Zhong nodded, and the way was humane: "Actually, it's very simple, you gather the true qi in the palm of your hand and don't let it go, let it be controlled according to your intentions, arrange it into a shape, and put the other hand through the sword body, and then let the two touch, take advantage of the situation to connect the sword with yourself, Zhou Tian operates, this left-hand qi mass will naturally merge into the sword along the right-hand sword, isn't it simple?" ”

Fang Zhong was stunned and speechless.

The Taoist was stunned and said, "You are so stupid." I'll do it again for you. In a blink of an eye, he saw the giant wooden sword next to him, and said, "Pick a big one, so that you can see it more clearly." What should I do this time? Fang is the egg, and if there is an egg, there must be a chicken, so it will be turned into a *. "Came to the side of the giant sword, held the hilt of the sword with one hand, did not lift it, spread out the other hand, luck condensed, and the air mass surged, only this time it was not round, but a plush pointed beak, and a chick with a small appearance stood in the palm of his hand. The Taoist put his palm close to the body of the wooden sword, and the chick turned into the air mass just leaned against the body of the sword, and with a pop, the true qi scattered. The Taoist was shocked, threw the hilt of the sword and stepped back, almost fell, and pointed to the wooden sword and said, "This...... This sword has its owner, and it is placed here. ”
