At the top of Lingjue, in the snow, a thin figure was wielding a knife.

A knife, a knife, another knife.

He only heard the wind whistling, but there was no half of the knife qi, he sweated profusely, and finally slashed out, and couldn't help but let out a long howl.

However, the whistling sound was also inaudible, and he knew that it was because his true qi was too low, so he inserted the rusty long knife into the snow, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and stood like this for half a pillar of incense before carrying the knife back to the house.

The incense burner burned charcoal, and it was extremely warm, and he sat on the bed and began to practice the Heavenly Clothes Heart Method.

The Heavenly Clothes Mind Method is the foundation of the cultivation of the Asano Sword Pavilion, and if any realm is ascended one by one, it is difficult to exert its due power without the support of a strong True Qi. Hundreds of years ago, in order to make it easy for disciples to combine the realm and the mental method, and achieve complementarity, the head of the Sword Pavilion deliberately classified the Tianyi mental method one by one, which was also divided into eight layers. If the realm has been reached but the mental method has not been broken through, there are not too many obstacles, if the realm has reached the realm of the fifth heavenly sword destroying clouds, but the mental method is still the third layer, then the true qi is too low to support the heavenly sword's cloud-destroying dao method to retract and release.

The head of the sect painstakingly divided the Tianyi Mind Method into eight layers, just so that the disciples under the sect can better understand their true qi, the Tianyi Mind Method has been passed down from Master Wei Jueyi, 1,300 years have passed, and it has long been integrated and has no defects.

Zhou Guican practiced hard and gradually, and after such hard work, he had already broken through the first layer three days later. He was so excited that he practiced wielding a knife at night, and so on.

Practicing the mind during the day, practicing drawing a knife at night, pulling out the snow with a knife, vaguely, is already quite powerful. If the realm is up, you need to understand the way of the sword, Zhou Guican began to practice drawing the sword, but forgot the way of the sword. But martial arts in the world, different paths lead to the same end, and the meaning of the sword may not be different from the sword intent. Zhou Guican hadn't thought about this yet, and he couldn't have thought that he was just practicing his mind and integrating it with the rusty knife.

On the seventh day, he was full of energy, and even though he slept only three hours a day, he did not feel tired at all.

Unfortunately, the rusty knife finally couldn't bear it anymore and broke into several pieces. His heart was gloomy, and he held the broken knife for a long time.

In the past few days, Xia Junge and Linglong have come to see him once, and they are both happy to see him cheer up. When the Green Lantern Fairy learned of this, he was relieved, and invited him to Nanyuan twice, but Zhou Guican refused to practice his mind. It's not that he doesn't want to see the Green Lantern Fairy, but if his true qi can't even reach the first layer, how can he have the face to meet the Green Lantern Master. And when he went to Mulin Town to pick up the ashes, he also put it aside for the time being, and devoted himself to cultivating the mental method.

If he was hungry, he would find something to eat in the snow and not eat with his brothers. Although the mountains are covered by heavy snow, there are also many wild beasts in the mountains, and they have never been hungry.

On the tenth day, he stood in the snow and slowly swung his sword.

Since there is no sword, draw the sword!

He draws his sword a thousand times a day, and in half a day, he can pull out an ordinary iron sword. Fortunately, there are not many other swords in the Sword Pavilion, but there are as many iron swords as a cow's hair, and there is also a house on Ling Jue Peak dedicated to placing long swords. Broken one, he took it again, and so on and so forth, and on the fifteenth day he had already drawn twenty-one iron swords. Early this morning, he stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the thousands of miles of ice below, full of spirit, and let out a long howl. The whistling sound continued endlessly, and it spread far away, and he knelt on the spot and muttered, "Master, the disciple has successfully cultivated the first layer of the mental method. ”

The first layer of the Tianyi Mind Method is to build a foundation for entry, and it is difficult to start at the beginning. He was already not well qualified, and he hadn't cultivated well for decades, but this foundation had already been laid. After such a half-month of hard practice, it is natural to easily break through the first layer of mental method, and I feel that the true qi in my body is endless, and I cut out with one palm, and the wind and thunder clouds move. The snow on the ground was splashing, faintly carrying energy, he jumped up, and pulled out his long sword on the ground, the speed was extremely fast, like a silver light steeply gone!

'Brush!', a half-man-high stone was cut in half, and the two stones rolled on the ground several times without a sound.

Zhou Guican danced a sword flower, and then glanced at the long sword, but found that it was broken again. Even though this ordinary iron sword can cut through boulders, it is only because of his true energy, not because of the strength of the iron sword.

Suddenly, someone behind him clapped his hands and said, "Senior Brother Zhou, good swordsmanship." ”

Zhou Guican hurriedly turned around and found that it was Linglong and Xia Junge, his face turned red, and he said, "Let the two senior sisters laugh." ”

"Don't laugh, don't laugh. Xia Junge grimaced.

Linglong was much more reserved, nodded and said: "Senior Brother Zhou, your sword is full of energy, and the speed is extremely fast, I have never seen it clearly, your sword has been chopped down." It's just that the sword of my Sword Pavilion has never used such a wide opening and closing force, and it should be a long sword. If Senior Brother Zhou realized this offensive sword path, it would really be an eye-opener for us. She said satisfactorily, which not only raised questions, but also affirmed Zhou Guican's sword momentum, which was exquisite on all sides.

Zhou Guican said embarrassedly: "Senior Sister Linglong, I just practiced the long knife for eight days, and I got used to it unconsciously." ”

Linglong didn't think much about it, Xia Junge said: "Seeing you like this, it's also reassuring, come with us, Master wants to see you." ”

Zhou Guican has now reached the first level of Tianyi's mental method, and he also has his own sword, thinking that it is time to go to see the green lantern master. After being delayed for nearly 20 days, I had to go to Mulin Town quickly to inquire about the ashes.

He cleaned up and went to Nanyuan to meet the Green Lantern Fairy.

Seeing that Zhou Guican was so energetic, the green lantern fairy must have seen it, it was so good, and after some gossip, he went straight to the point.

This is the right topic, naturally going to Mulin Town to check the ashes.

The green lantern fairy said: "Your master said that this is home, it is the root, and the leaves must return to the roots." You are his disciple, it is up to you to carry out this matter, as for He Taiao, there is no need to worry. ”

Zhou Guican nodded yes.

The green lantern fairy said again: "If the evil mountain is secretly making trouble, it will not be difficult for you juniors, you just need to go to Woodland Town, and if you want to come and ask carefully, you can find out where the ashes are." If you encounter people from the Evil Mountain, don't force your ability, just pass the book on the flying talisman, although those evil clowns in the Evil Mountain are not very upright, but they attach great importance to their status. She finished speaking in one breath, afraid that Zhou Guican would not be able to remember, so she said a few more details.

Zhou Guican remembered them all and asked, "Uncle Qingdeng, you said that we are not the only ones who are going?"

The green lantern fairy smiled: "That's natural, you don't know the world, of course you need someone to accompany you, I arranged for your Senior Sister Xia and Senior Sister Linglong to accompany you." ”

Zhou Guican's heart was overjoyed, and he blurted out: "Thank you, uncle." "I don't hide that joy.

The arrangements were made, and early the next morning, I went down the mountain.

When I walked to the foot of the mountain, I saw someone chasing after me, who was originally a disciple of Daoyuan Zhenren, Cheng Bufei and Zhao Hongcui.

Although Xia Junge and Cheng Bufei have a bad heart, they have a good impression of each other after all, and they are also happy to see him coming. Linglong said: "I see, the two of them are also going to travel far away." ”

Seeing that the two of them came to Xia Junge's side with a burden on their backs, Cheng Bufei smiled and said, "Senior Sister Xiaojun, we will also go with you." ”

Zhao Hongcui met Linglong, and the two talked something.

Zhou Guican saw that there were many people, and there was a depressed feeling in his heart that came from nowhere, but it disappeared after a while, and when he saw Xia Junge and Cheng Bufei standing very close, he suddenly felt bad in his heart. How did he know that Cheng Bufei and Xia Junge had a good impression of each other, which was not something he could compare with these days. Cheng Bufei looked at Zhou Guican, and saw that although he was in excellent spirits, his body was thin and weak, and he was not as graceful as himself, and he thought that he was too worried before, how could Senior Sister Xia look at such a person?

Zhou Guican wanted to shout Senior Brother Cheng, but when he saw his eyes, he couldn't say anything for a while.

"It turns out that Senior Brother Cheng and Senior Sister Zhao were instructed by Daoyuan Master to go to Mulin Town with us. Xia Junge said to Zhou Guican in the middle.

Cheng Bufei laughed and said, "Yes, Senior Brother Zhou, I admire you." ”

Zhou Guican approached Xia Junge a little, and said with a smile when he heard this: "I have nothing to admire, just a lonely person." ”

Linglong and Zhao Hongcui walked together, and the five of them walked for a while, and rented five fine horses in the town at the foot of the mountain. Zhou Guican can't fly with a sword, and although Xia Junge can, his realm is too low to fly with a sword for a long time. Tianmang Mountain is not far from Asano, the horses are two hundred miles a day, and they can reach Mulin Town in about ten days.

Cheng Bufei gradually slowed down, parallel to Zhou Guican, he glared at Zhou Guican, and said, "Senior Brother Zhou, you have found the ashes, where do you want to go after the burial?"

Zhou Guican saw Xia Junge and the three of them galloping in front of him, and replied: "I have to cultivate hard and avenge my master." ”

Cheng Bufei snorted: "Revenge, do you know who the enemy is?"

Zhou Guican said: "I don't know, but I will always know." ”

Cheng Bufei stretched out his hand and patted Zhou Guican's shoulder, and said, "Senior Brother Zhou, I mean, after burying your master, leave the Asano Sword Pavilion." ”

"Why?" Zhou Guican was puzzled. Although he didn't have a good impression of Cheng Bufei, he couldn't talk about being unpleasant, and at this moment, when he heard that he was leaving Asano Sword Pavilion, his heart was suddenly unhappy.

Cheng Bufei smiled, pointed to the sky and said: "Look at that mountain, the trees are in the forest, and the rotten trees are withering." How much face did your master lose to the Asano Sword Pavilion, it was good for him to die, and it was crisp, but how long will we have to bear these infamy? You are his only disciple, for your own sake, or for your master's virtue, leave the Asano Sword Pavilion, the four seas are home, there is always a place to go. His face was cold, and he spoke without emotion.

When Zhou Guican heard him say Master, his face changed suddenly, and he said coldly: "What Master has done, Senior Brother is young, and he doesn't understand, as for where I go, I don't bother Senior Brother to worry about it!"

Cheng Bufei's face was gloomy, and he was obviously angry, and said in a low voice: "I think Senior Sister Xiaojun is good to you, do you really think that you are a character, hmph, it is not appropriate to deal with you too hastily, wait until you get to Mulin Town." ”
