Chapter 8: Sword Cultivation
He Lang's qigong practice is actually stagnant, he is currently in a saturated state of the fifth layer of aura, but he can't break through to the sixth layer no matter what.
"Brother Jing, do you know why it's only a little bit close, but you can't break through?" After He Lang meditated for a long time that day, there was still no sign of a breakthrough, and then asked the teacher.
"Exercises and techniques complement each other, if you want to break through one of them, you must borrow from each other, otherwise it is not easy to break through any practice. ”
"Brother Jing means that the sword technique is a spell?" He Lang seemed to confirm.
"Exactly!"
He Lang is also very yearning for sword practice, he has a book of sword recipes handed down by the He family, which was brought to him by his father He Manpeng on the day he left Hejiazhuang, but after he read it, he was confused and didn't know the essentials.
In the sword technique, a large part of the previous practice chapters are explained in a single sword style, and He Lang has also tried to practice it a few times, but it is anticlimactic.
In fact, he prefers to run through all kinds of swordsmanship, and the effect of dancing in one go is not only pleasing to the eye, but also really enjoyable.
He also knew that this kind of thinking was presumptuous, just like a baby who wants to run before learning to walk, and there is no foundation for a building. Therefore, I kept it all the time, and I didn't deliberately practice it.
It is also acceptable for him to practice step by step according to the sword technique, but the current conditions are not allowed.
There is a saying in the sword technique: If you want to comprehend the subtlety of each sword style, you need to meditate and meditate in an ethereal place.
In the past few days, He Lang has mainly looked at the sword technique, and asked Brother Jing for advice at any time if he didn't understand, and through understanding, he knew a lot of things that he didn't know before.
Before, He Lang believed that practicing swords is dancing swords, and the sword moves are just embellishments, and the key is to see whether the swordsmanship is exquisite.
Now, He Lang has realized more of the essence.
In the sword technique, the trajectory of each sword move is subdivided into three steps: the first start, the second sliding step, and the third closing step.
Of course, these three steps are easy to say, but they are fatal to practice.
The standard of practice for each step is limited to three days and three nights, and the moves in these three days and three nights cannot be scattered, let alone deviate from the standard by a fraction. It is more important not to fall down due to fatigue, or to rest for a while, if you are tired in less than three days and three nights, then you must recalculate.
Sounds extremely harsh.
This is not only a test of the endurance of the cultivator, but also a test of physical strength, and each of the sixteen styles of the sword technique is like this, and the project can be described as huge.
And this is only the initial stage of sword practice, and from then on, each sword style has to run through three steps, and the goal is to practice with the real thing.
The real thing mentioned here is actually a living thing, and it is far from enough to talk about it on paper, but to swing the sword freely in various situations, and temper the sword qi with the aura of the living thing, and finally condense into a sword gang.
The so-called sword cultivation, one refers to the monks who practice swordsmanship, and the other alludes to what Jian Gang refers to, both of which are Shura purgatory.
And the sword cultivator, killing a lot, when he can really condense Gang, he is full of murderous energy, and he goes against the original heart of the cultivator, if he can't control his inner demons, he often ends up going mad, and the ashes are annihilated and cannot end well.
There are also a lot of sword cultivators, in order to suppress the heart demon tribulation, and finally escape into the demon path. And the Demon Sword Cultivation has an innate fatal flaw, this defect is that every twenty years the Heart Demon Tribulation will reappear, its pain is like burning the heart, and every time it attacks, the pain of the next Heart Burning is several times greater than the previous one, and almost no one can suppress the heart-burning pain of the fourth Heart Demon Tribulation.
Therefore, sword cultivation is difficult to practice, and it is even more because most cultivators do not dare to practice.
So far, there are very few cultivators who have truly ascended with pure sword cultivation. And many who call themselves sword cultivators can only be regarded as miscellaneous cultivators, that is, pseudo-sword cultivators. They use swords as sharp weapons, and sword-style sword moves are also superb, and even with sword qi, those who have reached the peak have also condensed into sword gangs.
But the main difference is that every time a pure sword cultivator ascends to the great realm, he crosses the tribulation with the qi of the sword, and the process of crossing the tribulation is extremely dangerous, and the people who can pass the tribulation are all those with good qualifications, understanding, and muscles. And once the tribulation is successful, the sword cultivation in the small realm will be invincible, and there will be even the best in the sword cultivation, and even the opponent can be killed in seconds by leaping to the big realm, and it is precisely because of this that many cultivators take risks and walk on the tip of the sword.
The pseudo-sword cultivator, on the other hand, can survive the tribulation with a more gentle nature exercise.
From this, it can be seen that every step of true sword cultivation is extremely dangerous. The cultivation process of many sword cultivators will be stuck in the Great Perfection period before the tribulation, and one card will be decades, hundreds of years, or even eternal life. And these sword cultivators almost all took the initiative to choose to be stuck, because they had no confidence in breaking through the tribulation.
Because the blade of Jian Gang is very fierce, eight or nine out of ten sword cultivators will insist on not passing through the whole process of the tribulation and fall in the outright killing intent of Jian Gang. Among them, there are many talented sword cultivators.
Now He Lang was in awe of the real sword cultivation.
And the idea of becoming a real sword cultivator also began to take root in He Lang's psychology.
However, Brother Jing said that it is still too early to decide whether to develop in the direction of sword cultivation, if you can condense into a sword gang before building a foundation, you will have the opportunity to choose the path of sword cultivation.
"Brother Jing, you know so much about sword practice, are you a sword cultivator?" He Lang actually just asked casually.
"Exactly, the road of sword cultivation is dangerous, I advise you to think about it more. ”
When He Lang heard that Brother Jing was a sword cultivator, his blood boiled all over his body.
What He Lang is currently thinking about is that becoming a sword cultivator is still unattainable, and mastering those moves on the sword technique is the fundamental.
Not wanting to think about this, Brother Jing immediately gave him full praise for his idea of knowing the current affairs so well.
Although the combat power of sword cultivation is extremely high, He Lang feels that he is a little afraid to compliment the bloody sword training process, he has lived in a peaceful world for more than 30 years, and he has never had blood on his hands, and the biggest obstacle to becoming a sword cultivator is to overcome killing, and even killing.
"Brother Jing, why can't most sword cultivators succeed in the tribulation, no matter how well prepared they are?"
"The main reason is that before the sword cultivation ascended, it was still a mortal body, and it couldn't resist the blade of the sword gang. This sword blade is not to mention the mortal body, it is the immortal body, if it is not practiced into the immortal body of Vajra, it is easy to be seriously injured. ”
"Can the King Kong Immortal Body only be cultivated by immortals?" He Lang became more and more interested in this sword cultivation profession, but fortunately, although Brother Jing was cold, he still liked to be a competent tutor.
"Not really, but those who practice this King Kong immortal body have to endure what ordinary people can't bear, and it is not that they can be practiced by enduring, and they can only be achieved by chance. ”
He Lang felt that these were indeed far from him, he was currently only a small fifth layer of Qi training, and if these five layers could be broken through, he would be happy for a long time, and the immortal body would still be out of reach.
The road to cultivating immortals is difficult, and he has always known that there are many masters in Hejiazhuang, and throughout their lives, their cultivation has not broken through to build a foundation.
But at present, He Lang's goal is to build a foundation in the short term and turn back to avenge the annihilation.
