Chapter 163: Forging a Sword Soul
"Uh...... What are the three can'ts? ”
I was stunned and immediately asked the Void Elder.
"No, those who are low in this sword technique cannot cultivate, otherwise they will damage the meridians and self-destruct the Dao karma, your cultivation has reached the fifth level of the mixed yuan exercise, not to mention compared with the demon lords of the world, there are many cultivators in the world, I am afraid that there are very few people who can compare with you, so your cultivation barely meets the requirements. The so-called sword soul, simply put, is the spiritual root of the sword, not rooted in the spiritual root, the cultivation of swordsmanship is like a rootless duckweed, you can only learn a flower shelf, fight and kill OK, these two can't, you don't have it, three can't, this swordsmanship, for the world's highest swordsmanship, equipped with the blade, must also be a treasure of heaven and earth, ordinary swords, can not meet the requirements, can not play the true power of the Nine Veins Dao sword! ”
After the old man finished speaking, he glanced at me lightly, and then said: "You only possess the first condition at present, and the third condition can barely be replaced by the lightning strike wooden sword, if you encounter a better sword in the future, it will fill this vacancy." ”
"Void Elder, the second condition, if you want to cultivate the way of the sword, you must first cast the sword soul, how can I make up for this condition?"
I nodded, and then asked again.
"Well, if you want to practice the way of the sword, you must first cast the sword soul, this is the mystery of the sword technique passed down in ancient times, what you want to practice is the supreme sword technique in the world, you must first take root in the spirit and cast the sword soul, otherwise you can't succeed. There is a saying in swordsmanship, the sword, for the transformation also, one into two, two into three, three is all things, the sword is the way, the road is the sword, so it is called the way of the sword. The world is strong, only the sword can be broken, but the sword is the strongest thing, this thing is soft and wonderful to resist it, so as to combine rigidity and softness, and make the world greater! ”
Void Elder lightly talked about the mystery of the sword, but I didn't seem to understand it, but the Void Elder didn't seem to care whether I understood it or not, but continued: "The Nine Veins Dao Sword, the eight veins of the strange meridian that secretly fit the human body, the nine veins have one more vein, this vein is placed between the invisible and the tangible, the mind, the thoughts, the spontaneous, the gestures, are all in the way of the sword, this is the purpose of the Nine Veins of the sword." Now the old decay has passed on your Nine Veins Dao Sword's mental method, and you use this mental method to refine the sword soul, and if the sword soul is completed, you can practice this sword technique! ”
"Void Old, the ...... of refining the sword soul"
I just wanted to ask how to refine the sword soul, I still don't know much about the doorway, but at this moment, I only heard that the Void Elder had already transmitted the sound into my heart, and the obscure secret words of the mind slowly appeared in my heart, there were a total of nine sentences before and after, but I couldn't understand what each sentence meant. After a while, seeing that the Void Elder had finished transmitting the voice, I immediately asked, "Void Old, why can't I understand a word of this kendo method?" ”
"You don't need to understand it now, even if you understand the literal meaning, but you can't comprehend the mystery, you need to sit quietly and comprehend, and at the same time cultivate and cast the sword soul, to achieve the integration of sword qi and body and mind, once the spiritual root of the sword is cast, the foundation of the Nine Veins Dao Sword will also be laid."
After speaking, the old man slowly got out of bed, put on his shoes and walked to the door with a wine gourd.
But seeing that the virtual old man was leaving, I immediately called out to the virtual old man, and couldn't help asking: "The virtual old, then I ...... Shouldn't you look for a quiet room, or somewhere in a cave to forge a sword soul? Is it possible to cultivate here casually? ”
"If you want to make sure that your heart doesn't follow all fate, what's wrong here? If your mind can calm down, even if you sit on the stage, you can still practice kendo. I'm done drinking the old wine, and I'm going to go drinking...... By the way, if you kid can't forge a sword soul, can't leave this room, can't eat, and can only drink three bowls of water a day, you know? ”
After speaking, he opened the door and walked out, leaving me sitting in a chair in a daze.
"What if I go to the latrine?"
"Hold on!"
"Uh......"
After getting the reply from the virtual elder, I was stunned, okay, just hold it. Standing up helplessly, I came to the edge of the bed and sat down, then took off my shoes, meditated cross-legged, gradually, the nine sentences of the heart on the sea, and slowly emerged, so, I began to chant silently: "The avenue returns to the yuan, and the sword rushes to the nine tricks...... Aren't the nine tricks the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth the tricks? No, this nine tricks, presumably not the nine tricks, the nine tricks are leaks, if the qi runs away with the nine tricks, the sword soul that casts a fart, well, the Taoist has clouds, the nine tricks, it is the first three fields, the last three levels, plus the three tricks, merged into the nine tricks, maybe this is the nine tricks that the nine tricks referred to by the nine tricks of the sword chong! ”
These nine orifices, one is the top acupoint, the location is in the Baihui acupoint, the second is the meaning acupoint, the position is in the Tianmu, that is, the position of the center of the eyebrows, the third is the divine aperture, the position is in the jade pillow acupoint, the position is the position of the back of the head, the fourth is the Jiang Palace, the position is in the middle of the Jizhong acupoint, the fifth is the spine aperone, the position is at the junction of the back arms, that is, the empty orifice in the middle of the shoulder blades, and the front of the Jizhong acupoint, the sixth is the life gate, the seventh is the qi sea aperture, the eighth is the tail lull acupoint, and the ninth is the perineal acupoint. The first three fields mentioned in it are summarized as the first three dantians, the upper dantian, the middle dantian, the lower dantian, and the last three passes, that is, the finger tail Lu pass, the spine pass, and the jade pillow pass, and the three orifices are respectively the yin orifices, the yang orifices, and the middle palace orifices, which add up to a total of nine orifices.
Thinking of this, I nodded slightly, it seems that the meaning of this sword rushing to the nine knots is to make the sword qi vertical and horizontal and the tricks of the whole body!
In this way, the sword qi and the eight veins of the Qi Jing can fit each other, so that the avenue returns to the source, and the sword rushes to the nine tricks...... I let out a deep sullen breath, the meaning of these sentences is really difficult to understand, just the first two sentences, I may not understand correctly, maybe I think wrong. But I think the previous explanation is very appropriate, and it should be understood in this way. In this way, I recited to the back again: "The body casts the Ding furnace, the sword soul is self-generated, the meridian is the Yuan, the yin and yang are corrected, the eight veins of the Qi Sutra are reversed, and the one Qi rushes into nothingness!" ”
The avenue returns to the Yuan, the sword rushes to the nine orifices, the body casts the Ding furnace, the sword soul is self-generated, the meridian is the Yuan, the yin and yang are corrected, the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, the reversal of the obedience, and the ...... Among them, there seem to be many contradictions, since yin and yang have been corrected, how can they be reversed? Eventually, I seemed to be in a state of complete confusion...... The meridian presumably refers to the Ren pulse and the Du pulse, yin and yang, which must be the yin and yang qi in the body...... The more I thought about it, the more unsmooth it became, and thinking about it, I let out a deep sulk again, and simply stopped thinking about it.
Since I mentioned earlier, the sword chong nine orifices, this sentence is easy to understand, that is to say, the sword qi is full of nine orifices, to put it simply, that is, luck takes the nine orifices as a week, which is similar to the small Zhou Tian cultivated by Taoists. However, the body casts the Ding Furnace, and the sword soul is self-generated...... I tried my best not to let myself think too much, starting from the most basic, gradually, the innate Qi slowly ran in the body, and walked for a week first, so that consciously or unconsciously comprehended the mysteries of these nine mental laws.
"Qi walks through the nine orifices, mixed elements are one, like the body is not the body, the qi and the body are combined, the body and the heart are combined, and the heart and the spirit are combined......"
I instinctively recited these words of consciousness in my heart, and then entered a realm of nothingness.
I don't know how long it took, when I sensed a spiritual qi contained in my body, my heart suddenly opened up, and it turned out that the so-called spiritual root and the so-called sword qi were the doorway to it. In a happy mood, he entered the state of cultivation again, and the spirit of the qi transformed at will, running in the nine orifices, and finally his mind stopped, that is, he stayed in the middle palace position, and the front and back two orifices and the upper and lower orifices, echoing each other from afar, the middle palace stopped, and cultivated again.
Gradually, when the agile qi became more and more full, I don't know when the opportunity came, I suddenly felt as if the middle palace had been knocked by something, and suddenly opened, and that agile qi was suddenly scattered in the position of the nine orifices. At this moment, I only felt extremely comfortable, slowly opened my eyes, waved my hand and pinched out the sword finger, and frowned, but I felt that a sword qi instantly hit out along the sword finger, and it was an invisible wave of qi, which forcibly cut the seat into two parts.
I was slightly stunned, could this be the sword qi and the soul of the sword? And that spiritual qi is also the body of the spiritual root. I feel like I succeeded. At this moment, when I think back to the meaning of those nine sentences, I seem to know it clearly. Smiling, I got up and got out of bed, ran to the door quickly, turned my head to look, but saw that there were no bowls around, I remember that Elder Xuxu said that during my casting of the sword soul, I was only allowed to drink water, and I was not allowed to eat food, and if I could not cast the sword soul, I could not go out of the door for half a step.
Now I didn't see Ling'er send water to drink, and I didn't go to the toilet, maybe my cultivation time is not long, thinking of this, I smiled proudly, immediately opened the door, and shouted: "Void old, I succeeded!" I did it! ”
"Be a big-headed ghost! What the hell is your name?! ”
Seeing the old man blowing his beard and staring at me, I immediately wilted, but I still couldn't help the joy in my heart, and said happily: "I have cast a sword soul, and it didn't take long, I didn't drink any water!" Ha ha! ”
I thought I would get praise from the virtual elder, but the virtual old man blew his beard and said with disdain: "Look at what you can bear, why don't you go to heaven?" It took five days and five nights to cast the sword soul, you must know that this is the most basic foundation for cultivating swordsmanship, it took you so long to lay a foundation, and you are embarrassed to scream there, hum! ”
"Huh? I used it for five days and five nights? But I think it's a short time! It's not an hour yet...... That's how I feel, maybe during the cultivation period, I reached the realm of selflessness, and I forgot the existence of time, but I didn't see Ling'er bring me water, Void Old, are you bluffing me? ”
I said it to the end, grinning.
"Brother Xianchu, it was Elder Xuan who deliberately said that, in fact, Elder Xuan didn't let me send you water to drink in the past few days, he said that if you really entered the state of cultivation, you don't need to drink water at all. Elder Xu's words are right, it did take you five days and five nights to forge a sword soul. But now it's okay, although it took a little longer, but it was still cast into a sword soul, Void Old, you can now teach Brother Xianchu the swordsmanship of the Nine Veins Dao Sword! ”
The more Ling'er talked, the more I couldn't hold my face, maybe Ling'er saw my embarrassment, immediately diverted the topic, and said happily to Xu'er.
