Chapter 37: The Long Road to Cultivation (1/3)
Kong Dai and Lu Qingyi obediently exercised in the morning.
Ren Okura had just recovered from his injuries and had not yet recovered, so he could only sit nearby and watch.
Today's Qingxumen, which has survived until now, if it hadn't met its predecessors, I'm afraid it would have already declined and disappeared. Where is the capital to recruit disciples?
Hey, the world is chaotic, let's take one step at a time.
Zuo Yushu sighed, and he didn't know how long he could last.
γ
After Jiang Lai returned to the room, he put his things away.
The ventilation pills had lost their effect, and they were all on the table, thinking about selling them for some money. To communicate with humans, currency is indispensable. Ventilation pills should sell for some money.
Books and other things were all placed under the bed and covered with rags.
Every time I finish reading a book, I devour and destroy it directly, leaving no trace.
The meditation mantra had already been memorized, and Jiang Lai took out the "Speaking Sword" and put it on the table.
He didn't immediately flip through the book and read it.
Instead, look at your whole body again.
"There is not much substantial breakthrough in the structure of the body, and the appearance is much smoother, and it is still in the third version of the human form. β
Jiang Lai defines the current pattern as the third version.
Strictly speaking, this version is still stuck in pronunciation.
If the whole body is exposed, it is still significantly different from humans.
"Since you can't get the demon's transformation method for the time being, let's try it according to your own ideas. β
Jiang Lai raised his arm.
Try to mobilize your energy.
Vitality generates heat in the soil.
At the same time, with the essence of the sun and the moon, the whole body dissipates heat.
This is the stupider method Jiang Lai can think of - "firing".
Firing is like firing ceramics, after all, Jiang Lai is a modern college student from the earth, and his concept is biased towards materialism. I want to use a more scientific method to shape the epidermis.
Sure enough, the color of the exterior is changing.
But...... The problems that arise are highlighted: first, the epidermis fired by heat is hard, and once the toughness is controlled, it will peel off; second, the color is too different from that of human skin, and some additives cannot be burned together.
After many experiments, Jiang Lai completely abandoned this plan.
This way, it is not very feasible.
"It's a bit ridiculous to explain the practice in a scientific way. Jiang laughed.
Fortunately, he still has two ways to choose, one is Huang Jing, and the other is the ability of the demon. Both of these are not available for the time being.
Jiang Lai sat down, picked up "Speaking Sword" and browsed and read.
In Taoist practice, the sword is one of its weapons.
The Daomen divides the cultivation of the sword into three extremes: one is the sword of the common people, which is the sword that ordinary people can use, and the ordinary people compare with each other; the sword of the princes, with a certain power of life and death, comes and goes without a trace; and the third is the sword of the Son of Heaven, which is the ultimate in the way of the sword, and the cultivation of the spire can control the life and death of people in the world.
Jiang Lai also thought that the types of swords would be divided into short swords and long swords, or similar to the mortal weapons and treasures in online novels. But I didn't expect the Daomen to divide the way of the sword in this way.
It's kind of interesting.
It's no wonder that the people of Qingxumen use swords.
The content of the sword is not about the essentials of swordsmanship, but simply introduces the idea of using the sword in the Daomen. It's a bit philosophical.
After reading this, Jiang Lai laughed.
The practice is too mysterious, and after reading it, you can only understand one or two of them.
γ
The sound of sword practice outside attracted Jiang Lai's attention.
Jiang Lai didn't continue to read, he felt bored, so he put down his book and walked outside.
In the mountain temple square, Lu Qingyi and Kong Dai's long swords fluttered, and the sword light was shining.
"Senior sister, swordsmanship has improved a lot recently!"
"Compared with my senior brother, it's still far behind. β
The discussion is over.
Lu Qingyi was defeated.
Jiang Lai appeared nearby, quietly watching.
He wasn't sure if his current body would be able to practice with a weapon in his hand like a human. According to Daomen's understanding of swordsmanship, weapons are only auxiliary, and it is the user who can really exert the power of the weapon. Through the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, the user can mobilize the vitality, and then he can bless the sword intent and perform more powerful swordsmanship.
If there are no Qi Jing Eight Veins, or even a dantian, how can you use swordsmanship?
I'm thinking about it.
Lu Qingyi walked slowly.
She was very bold and wanted to find out the true face of Jiang Lai.
However, Jiang Lai's clothes were tightly wrapped, and only a small part of his eyebrows could be seen.
She knew that her predecessor had been burned by the fire, and when she saw it, she didn't feel scared except for a slight surprise.
"Senior, you also know swords?"
This little girl's courage is commendable.
I dare to get so close to this posture.
"I don't understand. β
It's the truth.
Jiang Lai's understanding of swordsmanship is limited to the book "Speaking of Swords" that he has seen so far, and any skill is by no means something that can be explained clearly in a book.
Lu Qingyi sighed slightly:
"Swordsmanship needs to rely on the eight veins of the Qi Sutra to exert its power. It's a pity for my ...... Hey......"
Jiang Lai said loudly: "You haven't thought about changing weapons?"
"Change weapons? The Taoist school is best at swordsmanship. Although there are other weapons, when it comes to us small sects, we have no chance to touch and learn at all. β
"Do you like to practice?"
"I don't like it. β
This answer was unexpected.
Cultivation can make people strong, fly the eaves and walk the wall, hoe the strong and help the weak, and prolong life, why don't you like it?
Without waiting for Jiang Lai to ask, Lu Qingyi continued: "Cultivation is destined to be very boring, in addition to having to put in more effort than ordinary people, you also have to endure a lot of pain that ordinary people can't bear. β
I don't know if other people's cultivation is painful, but I'm not anyway. Jiang Lai thought to himself.
"What about the seniors?"
Jiang Lai wanted to say some righteous and generous words that stood up to the sky and the earth, and drew a sword to help each other when he saw injustice, but he felt that Taizhong Er was naΓ―ve, so he replied: "Live like a normal person......
"Huh?"
Normal people live the same.
There are many meanings in these words, and Lu Qingyi doesn't quite understand them. Is this difficulty very high?
Lu Qingyi couldn't help but compare himself with his predecessors.
Seemingly, the gap is huge.
The loneliness and loneliness endured by the predecessors who practiced in the deep mountains are comparable to ordinary people?
The predecessors were scorched by fire, their faces were completely ruined, and they were subjected to strange eyes, how can they be compared with ordinary people?
Compared with his predecessors, Lu Qingyi felt that the hardships he suffered were like children playing at home, which was not worth mentioning.
At this thought, Lu Qingyi was ashamed of himself.
"The words of my predecessors have made me feel empowered and benefited me a lot. Thank you, senior!" Lu Qingyi said suddenly.
β......β
What do I say that will benefit a lot?
Lu Qingyi finished his speech, drew his sword and jumped into the square, and said, "Senior brother, come again!"
Jiang Lai continued to observe their swordsmanship.
At this time.
Zuo Yushu also walked out of the mountain temple slowly, and when he saw the seniors observing from the sidelines, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned and walked up.
"I've seen ...... seniors"
Jiang Lai didn't look back.
Hearing this, Zuo Yushu's body was a little weaker.
Jiang Lai didn't expect that the side effects of the outbreak potential could last so long.
Zuo Yushu and Jiang Lai fought side by side in World War, his eyes fell on the entrance, and he sighed: "These children may have average talents, but they are the best moral I have ever seen." β
There was pride in his eyes.
Jiang Lai spoke:
"This set of swordsmanship has been used many times. Isn't there any other swordsmanship to learn?"
If there are only a few simple moves in swordsmanship, it is easy to find flaws in a short period of time.
