Chapter 7: The Sword Vein, Seven Stars
Next.
- "Senior sister, do you know what the intention of the Dan Chamber Dao is during the Dan period?"
Hou Ying pursed her lips, as if she didn't understand why he was asking this. But he quickly explained to him, "Knowing is knowing, but with my current level, I am still far from this step." The foundation was promoted to the Dan, and the dantian Lingding degraded and dissipated, leaving a few two according to the monk's fate and root bones. The rest were all naturalized into the Dan Chamber, breaking through the deeper shackles and forming a Dao intent surrounded by Dan Qi in the Dan Chamber. This so-called Dao meaning is based on the monk's own bloodline and divine consciousness, taking the form of his own mind and appearing in the Dan Chamber in the form of Dan Qi. ”
"The intention of the Tao is often extremely profound. Because there is no catastrophe for promotion during the foundation building period, a smooth transition requires a long period of meditation and extraordinary enlightenment. The Dao intent formed by the condensation of Dan Qi is a summary of the 'Dao intent' on the way of a person's cultivation. This meaning encompasses the will of the past, and also predicts the future to a certain extent. An ordinary scene, a person, and a thing can become the intention of the Tao, but the connotation is extremely profound, and ordinary people can only see through its surface, and it is difficult to peek into its deep meaning. ”
"The sects of the Heavenly Machine Dao Sect, like the Stargazing Sect within the Eight Great Sects, they have their own set of means to interpret the Dao meaning. This is also a university of the Heavenly Machine Daoist Sect. ”
"What's wrong?" asked Hou Ying suspiciously after explaining to him.
Xia Fanxing stood at the door of the bedroom and smiled, "No... It's nothing. I don't know about this, but I want to figure it out. To be honest, I'm still a little curious, what will your Dao will be like in the future, Senior Sister. ”
"Generally speaking, people who don't know the art of divination can't see things when they observe other people's intentions. The monk's understanding of his own way
It's often a lot deeper, but at most it's only scratching the surface. The formation of Dao will is the work of consciousness that cannot be excavated in the deepest part of the sea of consciousness, that is, the discovery of a person's deepest will. Hou Ying patiently explained to him, and said,
"Since the Seven Killing Dao Sect has been chosen, the divination doctrine of the Heavenly Machine Dao Law is basically lost. Go back and take a good look at what Senior Sister gave you today!"
——
In the afternoon, around the spiritual mountain, it was another day of calm that made him feel uneasy. Xia Fanxing walked on the way to the sect from Zhixuan Peak to the sect and remembered something.
He still remembered that day he was following his master in Chang'an West City, and then after seeing Su Qiao for the first time, Xin Heng used Su Qiao's soul jade before he left, and showed her in his sleep through subtle means, and the Dao spirit map in his Dan room.
He didn't have a specific concept of Taoism at that time, and he had recently read some related books, coupled with Senior Sister Hou's explanation yesterday, so he understood what he saw at that time.
The scene in her Dan room is still fresh in Xia Fanxing's memory. Thousands of cliffs, thousands of miles of waterfalls, breaking clouds and flying arrows, lifting the white tiger. The whole scene gave Xia Fanxing a very profound artistic conception, he couldn't understand what Su Qiao's Dao meant to express, but he felt unfathomable. Perhaps this is a kind of unconsciousness in the face of those who have truly attained enlightenment.
What's more, Su Qiao's glimpse of Dao intent gave Xia Fanxing a very natural and comfortable feeling.
Thinking about it, he walked to the door of the cultivation mansion. Xia Fanxing stopped suddenly, and Hou Ying's neutral voice came from inside, and Su Qiao said this to Hou Ying in a gentle voice.
"Sister Su, I feel like we've met before. Xia Fanxing was a little shy when he heard Hou Ying's voice outside the door. became more interested, eavesdropping on the conversation between the two of them.
Then Su Qiao's soft laughter lasted for a while, lowered his voice, and said to Hou Ying, "I know." But we're not going to talk about that today. ”
Although her voice was small, Xia Fanxing also heard it. But Hou Ying's puzzled voice was a little uncontrollable, "Why? Sister Su, we didn't have a very good relationship at that time... I'm curious to know why you suddenly left the sect at that time... Didn't say goodbye. ”
Su Qiao still smiled, but Xia Fanxing obviously heard some bitterness. There seemed to be something unspeakable, and Su Qiao's response was still very gentle, just like Hou Ying on the other side was still the little girl who once showed her the way. However, there was some toughness, "I know... I get it. But Qiqi, don't talk about this today, okay? Didn't you say that you and your Senior Brother Xia had something to come to me? In the future, we can still ...... as before when we have the chance."
Qiqi?Is this Hou Ying's nickname?But despite what Su Qiao said, Hou Ying was obviously still a little unwilling, "But, Su..."
At this time, the open door of the cultivation mansion was knocked twice. Su Qiao and Hou Ying turned their heads and saw Xia Fanxing standing outside the door, with a hasty smile, "Ah... Sister, you're here so early. It's all because Uncle Luo was too serious, and he told him for a long time before letting me out. Hey, Mr. Su, I've met Mr. Su. ”
Xia Fanxing knocked on the door in time to come in, temporarily relieving Su Qiao's embarrassing situation. Seeing this, Hou Ying stopped dwelling on the topic just now for the time being. Su Qiao invited him in and asked softly, "Fanxing, what are you going to let me see?"
Xia Fanxing glanced at Hou Ying, and Su Qiao said empathetically, "It's okay, Qiqi said that the two of you came to me together is fine." Let me look at your question first, and then talk about anything else. ”
Su Qiao made no secret of his nickname for Hou Ying, which made him a little strange. However, Xia Fanxing couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth when she saw Senior Sister hear Su Qiao call herself. I don't know what story is in this nickname.
He pulled out a book from the wide pocket of his robe, which had been slightly yellowed. This is the lowest grade of the two books given to him by the old man of the sea. After a cursory look at him, it was probably only applicable to the level of mortal martial arts. Because there is no mention of anything about aura, sword veins or anything like that.
He put the sword book in Su Qiao's hand, glanced at the two of them, and then told the origin of this sword book.
Hou Ying trusted Su Qiao so much, Xia Fanxing didn't plan to hide anything from her. But the whole thing omitted the cause and effect, and he didn't even say the name of the Weaving Cloud Temple, and purely replaced it with "that Taoist Temple". This was because he didn't want to talk about things like the Heavenly Lack Sect.
“... However, the Taoist Elder of that Taoist Temple was cunning and gave me two books of the lowest grade. Now what I'm showing you is probably some ordinary sword styles that mortals can cultivate. But I think Mr. Su, your swordsmanship attainments should be far beyond ordinary people, and Master also recognizes you very much. So I'd like you to help me see if there's something about it that could be seen in a small way?"
Su Qiao took the sword book and sat on a meditation platform. She turned the pages very quickly, because perhaps the standard of the book was indeed a little lower, and in the eyes of a person like her, who was very skilled in swordsmanship, she could guess the sentence in its entirety when she saw the first word of each sentence.
Halfway through the page, though, her hand slowed down. She just wanted to turn the middle page, but she seemed to find something she didn't understand. And this is not a mistake in the description of the sword. Look at her look... It seems that she really can't understand something...
Su Qiao cocked his orchid fingers, looked at the page for a long time, and counted it - "one ....."
Xia Fanxing and Hou Ying both looked strange. Xia Fanxing stood behind Su Qiao and stretched his neck, wanting to see what made Su Qiao wonder. After all, he has simply read the entire sword book once, it should be the most basic thing?
But after Su Qiao finished counting a number, she put down the page she was holding. At this time, she also fell into a very serious realm, and did not notice the slightest movement of Xia Fanxing. Su Qiao continued to flip down at a slow pace. Until they finished the score, the two heard her count a total of "five".
"Stars, another one, is it a sequel to this one?" A quarter of an hour's reading time is not a short time for a monk who can completely glance at ten lines. As soon as Su Qiao finished reading, before the two of them could speak, he immediately asked Xia Fanxing.
Xia Fanxing recalled the content of the other book, "No. I've seen that the contents of that sword book can already be used for low-level monks to cultivate. So, there should be little connection between the two. ”
Su Qiao nodded solemnly, was silent for a moment, and said, "Although this sword spectrum is designed for mortals, it is true that most of the content in the front is common sense to us. However, from the middle page, I finally saw some details that were very different from other swordsmanship. As she spoke, she flipped the sword book back to the middle page and showed it to the two of them.
This page is about a move in the "beginner version" of the Star Weaving Swordsmanship. Leave aside the moves that connect to it before and after. On this page, there is a single action drawn - the cultivator bows his head backwards, holds the sword close to the dantian in one hand, and stands steady with his legs in a horse stride. Hou Ying, who never practiced swords, could see it, and couldn't help but rush to say, "This, it should be a defensive posture, right?"
"That's right. Qiqi is still so smart. Su Qiao smiled and praised Hou Ying, but set his eyes on Xia Fanxing.
Xia Fanxing looked at it carefully again and said, "This is nothing special. Dodge front and back attacks in this position, and place the sword-wielding hand on this part to prepare for the next move. The following action must be to use the abdomen to bounce up. Because when someone stabs with a sword, the other party will definitely not be able to control his body and continue to rush forward. After dodging the opponent's sword, use the strength of the abdomen to bounce the upper body up, so that the swordsman is in a very good position to exert power, thus dealing a fatal blow to the enemy. This is indeed an ordinary move. ”
Xia Fanxing scratched his head. His analysis was detailed, and Su Qiao nodded, with a mysterious smile on his face. "It's really an ordinary defensive move. But what inspired me was the man in this picture, who pressed his other hand on his femur. If you follow conventional thinking, this is to maintain the balance under this action. But here, we have to note that he is holding a sword in his left hand and holding his right femur with his right hand. The sword wielder is not important, the important thing is the bone hand. To be precise, it should be a point acupuncture hand. ”
"If this was not intentional on the part of the person who wrote this sword book at the time, I don't believe it after I have just come to those conclusions. ”
"So...?" Xia Fanxing was confused when he heard this, and spread his hands.
"This set of swordsmanship is rooted in a unique sword vein structure. There are many types of sword veins in the world, but the Zhongrong acupoint, which is the main acupoint of the sword vein, is generally generated on the left side. There are also very few Zhongrong veins on the right side of the body. The sword veins derived from this category are very rare, and they are definitely partial doors. But the power of unpopular things is generally not low. Su Qiao talked eloquently.
"Wait... Wait, wait!" Xia Fanxing hurriedly interrupted her, "Mr. Su, I'm sorry to interrupt you." I have a very shallow understanding of the sword vein, with all due respect, I really don't understand what you just said..... What are you talking about, what is this Zhongrong Pulse?"
Su Qiao glanced at him helplessly, and first asked Hou Yingdao, "Doesn't Qiqi know?"
Hou Ying shook her head gently. In fact, she was even more confused just now, even more confused than Xia Fanxing.
"Then you two will listen. It's my first lesson since I came here!" Su Qiao suddenly became interested and began to explain the knowledge of the sword vein to them in detail. This is said to mean that half an hour has passed. I have to say that Su Qiao is gentle and very patient. Hou Ying, who somehow became a junior and younger brother's companion, had little understanding of kendo, so it was difficult to understand Su Qiao's words, and Su Qiao patiently explained it to her a few times. Only then will they be able to thoroughly understand the specific concepts of the Middle Fusion Vein and the Sword Vein.
Sword cultivators often inject their own breath into the weapon to achieve the effect of striking out the "sword qi" and maximize the power of the weapon. And this breath infused with weapons can only achieve the best effect after being tempered in the body. At the beginning, people who practice swords don't know how to refine it into sword qi, so the effect is often poor.
In fact, the "instrument breath" that can be used to quench the breath and become a weapon is through a vein called the Zhongrong Vein. There is no such pulse on the acupuncture point map of the human body. Its origin is very unique. Near the left and right sides of the human femur, there are two major acupuncture points: Futu Cave and Chongmen Cave.
The meaning of the Chongmen acupoint is that it can make the spleen meridian qi and blood impact the abdominal dantian here, while the Futu acupoint has the theory of treating numbness and soreness in the legs and feet.
The reason why the Zhongrong vein was formed was through such a step. In the monk's continuous attempts, the right Chongmen acupoint formed a certain connection with the Qi Sea acupoint under the umbilicus. Because the dantian breath is dispersed into the blood from the four major acupoints under the umbilicus, through some specific sword vein recipes, the breath can be urged, so that the chongmen and the two acupoints of the qi sea under the dantian branch are blended.
Similarly, on the other side, the left side of the rabbit acupoint was gradually able to form some kind of fusion with the Guan Yuan acupoint under the umbilicus during the cultivation process. After a certain amount of cultivation, the Zhongrong Pulse will form closer to the second acupoint of the lower body. But it will only appear on one side alone, that is, the Zhongrong vein finally formed by the two veins is an artificial acupoint vein pinned on the Chongmen or Futu's hole. What surprised them even more was that this thing was called a sword vein!
After the fusion vein appeared, the aura was transformed into sword qi, and it was even easier. The type and level of the sword vein are only related to the sword vein technique practiced by the monk. Moreover, once it appears, the growth rate is very slow, and it is almost impossible to turn into other kinds of sword veins. Therefore, it is very important to get started and get started.
"Actually, it's not just swords, it's also about other weapons. Therefore, you might as well change the name of the sword vein to the 'instrument vein'. But in order to form a vein, you generally need to spend enough time with your weapon, and the weapon must have a certain spirituality. Regarding the cultivation of the sword vein technique, it can be divided into very detailed and profound. But the more you want to learn, the higher the level of the weapon. ”
"After the completion of the vein, it is the next step to be more mysterious and test the knowledge of the machine spirit. Forget it, I've said so much, you two don't necessarily understand it yet. While Su Qiao was talking, Xia Fanxing had already brought back a pot of tea from an alchemy mansion where a teacher was lecturing. At this time, she happily finished the knowledge that the listener could faint, took a sip of tea comfortably, and picked up Xia Fanxing's sword book.
However, Xia Fanxing completely understood. Hou Ying's comprehension ability is also very strong, but because the concept of swordsmanship is not mature, he still knows nothing. After listening to Su Qiao's words, he suddenly spoke, "So, do you think that this action is beginning to allude to a unique sword vein structure? The sword veins formed by the Left Chong Gate and the Qi Sea Cave under the umbilicus over time are relatively common, right?"
"That's right, basically all the sword vein recipes are based on the right sword vein. And the left sword veins formed by the Futu Cave and Guan Yuan Cave are really rare and rare.
If this action was purely accidental, then I also found some hints about the two acupuncture points later. Although I can't think of why that Taoist temple wants a low-grade sword spectrum designed like this, I very much doubt that this Taoist temple has a set of research on sword veins.
Therefore, I think that the advanced chapter of this set of sword books is very likely to record some tips about the left sword vein. ”
Xia Fanxing recalled the extremely powerful sword formation on the sword perch that day. At that time, he was shocked by this arrangement of swords. Unexpectedly, after Su Qiao's explanation and analysis, Zhiyun Guan originally had a deeper hidden hand, and it was very likely that Chonghai would have studied this extremely rare left sword vein cultivation method in Su Qiao's mouth!
Since it is rare to this extent, the cultivation power of the left sword vein must not be underestimated. It's just that... Such a mundane sect......
At this time, Hou Ying asked suspiciously, "Then, Sister Su, what did you mean by counting just now?"
Su Qiao smiled and said, "I'm afraid you have doubts about this." If you look closer, you're confused. To put it simply, I imagined a very remarkable set of swordsmanship from the latter part of the moves. ”
Xia Fanxing came out of his contemplation when he heard this, and immediately said, "Is it really so powerful?!!"
"Don't be in such a hurry. This kind of inference is really nothing. If every swordsman could practice the swordsmanship that he had come up with in his head, wouldn't the swordsmanship in the world be rampant? I just looked at it more seriously. So, through some ordinary moves later, I came up with a set of swordsmanship... But most of these things are impossible to practice. You'll understand it when you study swordsmanship in depth in the future. Inspiration is often plentiful, and action is scarce. ”
"But it can also prove one thing, that is, there is indeed something in this sword spectrum of yours. ”
"But... Even so, why did Sister Su count?" Hou Ying still asked very strangely.
"Alas, Qiqi, you are embarrassing me again. Forget it, I'll just say that. I broke down and fused the various moves in this spectrum, and imagined in my mind a set of powerful swordsmanship that could be used by monks. Then when I thought about the fifth form, I finished the book. So, there's no then. Su Qiao smiled bitterly, trying to speak in words that the two children could understand.
"The fifth form is gone..."Xia Fanxing muttered with some disappointment. But suddenly, the memories in the Weaving Cloud View suddenly came flooding back. A strong intuition told him that the person who impressed him the most on the sword perch at that time was codenamed "Wu"... By the way, there must be a connection between the two. The fifth sword of Weaving Stars, and the mysterious fifth disciple of Weaving Clouds... A very systematic idea suddenly appeared in Xia Fanxing's mind - perhaps, these ordinary sword styles were a template. A person like Su Qiao, who is proficient in kendo, can see the big from the small, and even deduce a few more advanced sword styles like her... And that person, too, saw the fifth form... In other words, the highest level in the Weaving Cloud View is the fifth form. Will there be a sixth ......
Xia Fanxing was still immersed in his own wonderful speculation, and Su Qiao spoke again, "I seem to be able to confirm it, according to the development of the first five styles, to complete a complete set of swordsmanship, there should be at least two more moves... But I was immediately out of inspiration. I don't know how to continue to complete the first five moves. But I feel very clear, there are two more moves at most. ”
Xia Fanxing and Hou Ying couldn't imagine what a wonderful and intelligent trend of thought bloomed in Su Qiao's mind just now. One can only marvel at this master who is proficient in one piece. Especially Xia Fanxing, the sense of shock is even stronger.
"Stars. ”
"So much I've just said... You should know what I'm going to tell you next. The cultivation of the left sword vein is very unpopular, if you start practicing this set of sword records now, if you don't go deep into the point of refining the left sword vein, it will be in vain. Moreover, even if that Taoist temple did have a record of cultivation of the left sword vein, it was not necessarily comparable to the traditional right sword vein. Because, on that unusual path, there are too few people who can help you. ”
Xia Fanxing nodded and said, "I understand." Thank you, sir, for helping me out. After listening to your words, I really don't plan to practice these two sword books anymore. It's a pure waste of time. However, just now you said that the inspiration was suddenly cut off, it seems that Mr. Su can still gain more knowledge on this. Why don't I send another more advanced sword book in two days, and you can see if you can deduce the next two moves. If you can really decipher this kind of swordsmanship... That's great! You say, right?"
Xia Fanxing is very sensible, and Su Qiao is not polite. Both of them knew that those two sets of sword scores were placed in Xia Fanxing, which was a pure waste. So she closed the sword, received it in her hand, and said with a light smile, "Don't call it any sir." Call me like Qiqi. ”
