Chapter 11: The Little Sword Sutra
(The first guest escapes to appear, and the wider world slowly unfolds)
May 10, 395 in the Zhenwu calendar.
It has been eight months since Chen Zong entered the clan hall, and he has won the title of Chief King for the eighth time.
"Chen Zong, although I have been defeated to you every time, my blood and qi have been tempered four times, and tomorrow, I will become a martial artist, earlier than you. Although Chen Guzhan was defeated, he did not look discouraged, because he had long been used to it.
"Congratulations. Chen Zong smiled: "But you have to work harder, otherwise when I become a martial artist, I may be able to catch up with you." ”
"You don't have a chance. Chen Guzhan clenched his fists, full of confidence.
At the beginning, his blood qi refining was very slow, but after refining the first time, the second time was significantly faster, and the third time was faster, and now in eight months, he has completed the fourth tempering, and he has come to the top, better than Chen Fenghua and other people who came into contact with the Tiger Roar Jue earlier, and it can be regarded as talented, but he didn't know that Chen Zong was already refining the sixth blood qi at this time, and it was not far from completion.
Otherwise, his faith would not have been so abundant.
A jar of Tiger Yang Bone Strengthening Wine made Chen Zong's blood and qi refining progress improve a little.
"Within a month, I will definitely be able to complete the sixth tempering. Chen Zong was very sure.
May 13, 395 in the Zhenwu calendar.
In the courtyard of Chen Izumo.
"Chen Zong, from tomorrow onwards, you don't have to come again. Chen Izuyun's eyes fell on Chen Zong's face, and his tone was as light as water.
Chen Zong was puzzled.
"From tomorrow, I will leave the clan hall and go to the Qiyao Martial Academy. Chen Izuyun could see the confusion in Chen Zong's eyes, so he explained: "Yesterday, I participated in the battle of Fengwu City's outstanding people, won the top 100, and was admitted to the Qiyao Martial Academy. ”
Chen Zong immediately understood, but there were more questions.
What is Nanayao Martial Temple?
What is the battle of Fengwu City?
"Do you know how big this Eastern Continent is?" Chen Izuyun asked rhetorically, his tone was leisurely, and without waiting for Chen Zong to answer, he said to himself: "I don't know how big this Eastern Continent is, as far as I know, there are many martial cities on the land of the Eastern Continent, and Fengwu City is just one of them. The Fengwu City where we are located is close to the six martial cities of Jinmu, Water, Fire, Earth, and Thunder, forming a region called the Land of Qiyao, and the Qiyao Martial Academy is the largest force, dedicated to the cultivation of elite martial artists. ”
"Teaching, if you want to enter the Qiyao Martial Academy, do you want to participate in the battle of Fengwu City's outstanding people and enter the top hundred?" Chen Zong asked, his eyes were blazing, and his voice was like a sharp sword unsheathed, and the edge was amazing.
"Conditionally, the age must not exceed eighteen years old, if the cultivation is to reach the seventh layer of the Qi and Blood Realm, there is no need to compete, and it will be directly admitted, if the cultivation is less than the seventh layer of the Qi and Blood Realm, the participants will enter the top 100 in the battle of talents. Chen Izuyun said simply: "You are now carrying out the sixth blood qi refining, before the age of eighteen, even if you can't break through to the seventh layer of the qi and blood realm, you can reach the sixth layer, with your strength, you are enough to be included in the top 100 in the battle of talents." ”
"Teach, I'll go to the Qiyao Martial Academy as soon as possible. Chen Zong's tone was resolute.
"Okay, I'll wait for you in the Martial Academy. Chen Izuyun smiled, like a snow lotus blooming, beautiful: "In addition, from today on, you don't have to call me a teacher, you can call me by my name or cousin." ”
"Then I'll call you Sister Yun. Chen Zong also smiled.
"Chen Zong, you have to remember that in Fengwu City, our Chen family is not the only one. Chen Izumo Zhengse said: "In Fengwu City, there are three wealthy families and five families, our Chen family is only one of the five major families, in addition, there are many small families and small forces, as far as I know, this year, there are several geniuses among the three major families and the other four major families, some are not inferior to you, there are two or three, and even above you." ”
"Who are they?" Chen Zong not only did not feel afraid, but a trace of excitement appeared in his heart, and now he was invincible among the martial disciples of the Chen Family Hall.
"The three giants, Tang Junluo of the Tang family, Li Zhenshi of the Li family, and Zhao Wangcheng of the Zhao family, as far as I know, these three people are one year younger than you, but they have all quenched their blood and qi six times, and they are impacting the seventh time, although it is unknown whether they can succeed, they may become your big opponents. Chen Izuyun said that if this was heard by others, it would probably attract ridicule.
Who are those three?
Those three people are the children of the three wealthy families, with prominent status, extraordinary talents, and strong strength.
Who is Chen Zong?
It's just a kid from a tribe.
The contrast between the two sides is like that of a dragon and a snake.
But whether it is Chen Izumo or Chen Zong himself, he will not think that he is inferior to others, his noble birth is nothing, and his backwardness for a while is nothing.
"Cultivate well, don't be greedy for merit, I'll wait for you in the Qiyao Martial Academy. Chen Izuyun smiled, took out a silk book from his arms, and handed it to Chen Zong: "This book is obtained by my chance, and I am now giving it to you, hoping to inspire you to practice swords." ”
Chen Zong took it, and the thin black silk book still carried body temperature and a hint of girlish fragrance.
The cover of the book is black with three silver letters on it.
Little Sword Sutra!
These three words are dazzling and eye-catching!
It made Chen Zong feel that it was difficult to look at directly, as if the edge was restrained, and it was like a sharp sword out of its sheath.
"Okay, let's go back and read it again, and start today's training. Chen Izumo said.
"Yes. Chen Zong put the little sword in his arms and put it away.
Soon, at the end of the day's training, Chen Zong said goodbye to Chen Izuyun, a little reluctant.
After months of getting along, almost daily contact, and dedicated teaching, the two are as close as sisters and brothers, and now they are going to separate, and it will be difficult to see each other for at least a few years, and it is inevitable that they will be reluctant.
But the two of them are both decisive, they didn't drag the mud and water, and they all know that today's separation is for a better reunion in the future.
After returning to the house and washing, he sat comfortably on the bed and picked up the silk album given by Chen Izumo.
"Little Sword Sutra"!
The three silver words are still dazzling.
As if a pilgrimage-like heart, Chen Zong opened the cover slowly and softly, his eyes fell on the top of the page, and the vigorous and powerful words of the three pen dragons and snakes jumped into his eyes.
Sword Prologue!
His gaze shifted downward, and his essence flickered.
"Sword, blade of edge. ”
"Hold a sword, do not decorate, just to protect yourself and kill the enemy. ”
"Sword practice is not about eating and drinking, you can't be so casual, it's not about walking and chatting, you can't be so idle. ”
"With the sword in hand, you need to be sincere, between the straight and the right, be fearless, and overcome all obstacles. ”
"Draw the sword, be decisive, and draw the sword, without the slightest hesitation. ”
......
The sharp and compelling font composed one concise and powerful sentence after another, which made Chen Zong's heart beat wildly inexplicably, and his left hand unconsciously touched the iron sword placed beside him, and he had the urge to draw the sword out of its sheath.
Looking at those words, Chen Zong seemed to see a peerless swordsman wielding a sword and carving words.
After reading the sword preface, the second part, called the basic sword method, is also the basic eighteen styles taught by Chen Izuyun, after a few months of cultivation, Chen Zong has already cultivated the basic eighteen styles to the point where the sword moves at will, but after reading it carefully, he still has a slight understanding.
The third chapter is called the Four Tips of Swordsmanship.
"There are four tips for swordsmanship: fast, accurate, steady, and ruthless!"
"Only fast can surprise and attack its unpreparedness, which is unguardable. ”
"Only accurately, can be out of the hundred, never offset. ”
"Only when you are stable can you not miss a hand, and you can play it with ease. ”
"Only by being ruthless can you kill the enemy and overcome obstacles. ”
Looking at it again, it is more intuitive than Chen Izuyun's verbal teachings, and the touch is more intense, but at present, Chen Zong is only cultivating the three-character trick, and the ruthless character trick has not really been practiced.
Read carefully, there is also an explanation and training method of the four-character formula, turn to the last one, and there is a paragraph in the lower right corner - Xuan Bingzi!
"Xuan Bingzi?"
"Who is this?"
"No matter who you are, if you can write such a small sword scripture, you must be a master of swordsmanship. Chen Zong's heart swelled with a trace of admiration.
On the second day, Chen Zong still came to the courtyard of Chen Izumo, but the gate of the courtyard was closed, and after standing in front of the door for a long time, Chen Zong turned around and left, and he secretly decided that one day, he would also live in this courtyard.
May 20, 395 in the Zhenwu calendar.
A corner of the martial arts training ground.
"Chen Zong, take the knife. ”
The sword flashed and turned into a continuous trend, as if the waterfall was slashing and slashing.
Faster, faster, faster, more fierce!
Chen Zong took out his sword, and the swordsmanship of the Three Perfection Realms was performed alternately in an instant, and under the continuous transformation, he failed to shatter Chen Fenghua's sword light, but was forced to retreat a few steps.
Chen Fenghua continued to draw out his sword, and the serial sword technique of the consummation realm was endless, like the waves of the sea, wave after wave, Chen Zong kept swinging his sword, but he could only keep retreating.
After forcing Chen Zong back ten steps, Chen Fenghua's sword light converged and put his knife into the sheath.
"Hahahaha, Chen Zong, I finally knocked you back. Chen Fenghua was full of smiles, and it was difficult to see his usual calm appearance.
"Congratulations. Chen Zong was not frustrated in the slightest, but said with a smile, from Chen Fenghua's sword split, he could see that the other party's cultivation had broken through, reached the fourth layer of the Qi and Blood Realm, and became a martial artist.
Only in this way can Chen Fenghua exert the power of a thousand catties and make the power of the chain knife technique stronger.
"Chen Zong, cultivate hard and strive to break through as soon as possible. Chen Fenghua patted Chen Zong's shoulder and said in an old-fashioned manner, quite proud.
There was no way, he was full of confidence at that time, but he was defeated by Chen Zong's sword eight times in a row, and the blow was not small, and now he became a martial artist one step earlier than Chen Zong, and the sourness in his heart could not be expressed.
May 25, 395 in the Zhenwu calendar.
Chen Yong, who always has a straight face, and Chen Ying, who has sharp eyes, came together.
"Congratulations. Chen Zong was the first to speak, and from the complexion and aura of the two of them, Chen Zong judged that the two of them had broken through, reached the fourth layer of the Qi and Blood Realm, and became martial artists.
"Hmph, Chen Zong, I'm one step ahead of you. Chen Yingjiao snorted.
"Finally better than you once. Chen Yong said with a smile.
Then, they departed.
Chen Zong couldn't help but be speechless, how badly these four people were hit by themselves, as soon as they broke through, they immediately came to find themselves to have a look.
"You have all refined your blood and qi four times to break through, and although I am one step slower, I can temper it at least six times, and at that time, I will still be able to defeat you. Chen Zong thought of the scene when he defeated the four of them again in the future, and couldn't help but smile.
"It's almost over, I have a hunch that it won't be long before my blood qi will be able to complete the sixth quenching. ”
