Chapter 004: Eighteen Mysterious Tombstones
The black sword tablet stands between heaven and earth, exuding an incomparably majestic momentum, suppressing the breath of heaven and earth.
Ji Tianxing saw that the black sword tablet was covered with traces of wind and frost and years etching, and it looked very ancient.
This sword tablet does not know how long it has passed, and it seems to have lived with heaven and earth, and has existed for eternity.
He looked up at the 10,000-foot-high sword tablet and saw that there were four mottled characters engraved on the sword tablet.
Each word has complex strokes, which seems to contain a sharp and unparalleled sword intent, and wants to tear the sky through the monument.
Ji Tianxing just glanced at it twice, and was suppressed by the sword intent contained in the four big characters, and there was a strong sense of awe in his heart.
Those four words were very mysterious and ancient, and they were not at all the words of this era, and he had never seen them at all.
But strangely, a hazy feeling arose in his mind and he recognized those four words.
Tomb of the Sword God!
"Tomb of the Sword God, this is a cemetery?"
Ji Tianxing was puzzled in his heart, and secretly thought: "No wonder it looks so desolate and gray, and it is full of death." ”
"However, I have only heard of some strong people calling themselves sword masters, and the number one sword powerhouse in Qingyun Country only dares to call themselves Sword Sects. ”
"Someone is actually called a sword god, so what kind of strength is he?"
Ji Tianxing couldn't understand what kind of title the Sword God was in the realm of strength.
But he could guess that the tomb of the Sword God was so majestic, and it must have been a top powerhouse beyond his imagination during his lifetime!
He withdrew his gaze from looking up at the sword monument and continued to float towards the sword monument.
A moment later, he came to the bottom of the sword monument and surveyed the wasteland around him.
I saw that on the wasteland on the left and right sides of the sword monument, there were more than a dozen pitch-black tombstones standing in a row.
Ji Tianxing counted it, and there were eighteen tombstones, nine on the left and right sides.
He walked over to the row of tombstones on the left and found that each one had ancient words engraved on it.
Some tablets have more characters, and the number is as many as hundreds.
Some of the tablets have fewer words, only one or two sentences, more than twenty words.
For Ji Tianxing, these ancient and mysterious words should be unfamiliar.
But he stared at the first tombstone for a while, and then a hazy feeling arose in his mind, and he actually recognized those complex and obscure words.
Looking at those ancient words, he couldn't help but read silently in his heart.
"The beginning of the way of the sword, the heart of the sword. ”
"The so-called sword heart is to temper the sword body and condense the sword heart. This path is extreme, and you can reach the realm of no sword in your hand, and the sword in your heart......"
Seeing this, Ji Tianxing couldn't help but stop, his heart was full of shock and incredulity.
These two sentences were something he had never heard before, and they were completely inconsistent with his cultivation experience and cognition, and even subversive!
He has been practicing the Ten Xuan Sword Technique handed down by his family since he was a child, and from the first day of sword practice, he has been practicing with a sword in his hand.
Not only him, but even the sword masters in Qingyun country have to use swords to perform swordsmanship.
Even, the number one kendo powerhouse in Qingyun Country, the Sword Sect Master, also never leaves his sword and practices hard day and night.
However, the text on this tombstone says that the first step in cultivating kendo is the realm of sword heart, and after practice, it can achieve the effect of no sword in the hand and a sword in the heart.
Isn't that?
If you don't have a sword in your hand, how can you practice it, and how can you use it?
Ji Tianxing subconsciously thought: "The words on this tombstone, eighty percent are whimsical and crazy words, which are completely inconsistent with the common sense of martial arts cultivation!"
However, he thought about it, this is the tomb of the Sword God, and the words on the tablet are very likely to have been left by the Sword God during his lifetime.
Even if it's not, it's definitely related to the Sword God.
So, with suspicion and curiosity, he continued to watch.
"The first layer of the way of the sword heart, self-destructing the dantian, taking its own essence as the root, supplemented by the vitality of heaven and earth, condensing the sword qi, and giving birth to the sword fetus in the body. ”
Ji Tianxing was a little dumbfounded, he only felt that these words had opened his eyes, and his cognition and three views for more than ten years had been subverted.
"My God! What kind of evil skill is this sword heart way? If you want to cultivate sword heart, you have to destroy the dantian first?"
"The dantian is the foundation of a martial artist's cultivation, it is more important than the root of life, who would destroy the dantian to practice this evil skill?
Thinking of this, Ji Tianxing was stunned for a moment, and a strange thought popped up in his mind.
"Huh! It is impossible for an ordinary martial artist to self-destruct his dantian to cultivate his sword heart, I am different!"
"My dantian has disappeared, it is impossible to reach the True Yuan Realm in this life, and I can only be a waste of the Body Refining Realm in this life...... Perhaps, I can try to practice?"
Ji Tianxing always felt that the way of the sword heart was contrary to common sense, did not conform to the common sense of martial arts, and was very likely to be an evil skill.
But he had been cornered, and if he wanted to recover his strength and take revenge on Ling Yunfei, he would not let go of any opportunity to make him stronger.
Next, he carefully read the words on the first tombstone, and after thinking about it for a while, he roughly understood.
"If I want to cultivate the way of the sword heart, I have to refine the body and transform the qi, use my own essence qi to cooperate with the heaven and earth yuan qi, condense it into sword qi, and then use the sword qi to give birth to a sword fetus in the body. ”
Ji Tianxing pondered it for a while, and felt that this cultivation method was very novel, and if he found something different, it might really be possible to succeed.
He memorized the words on the first tombstone and looked at the second tombstone.
There are few words on this tombstone, only more than 20 words, which record a route of meditation and cultivation.
He wrote down the more than twenty words of cultivation mantra and looked at the third, fourth, and fifth tombstones.
As a result, he found that the words on the tombstones in the back were becoming more and more esoteric.
Even if he could recognize the words on the tombstone, he couldn't read what the words meant.
He barely looked at it a few more times, and he felt exhausted and his mind became confused.
Ji Tianxing knew that his strength realm was too low, and he hadn't started to cultivate the way of the sword heart yet.
If you forcibly look at the profound and esoteric cultivation methods, you are likely to lose your mind, go mad and become crazy.
So, he quickly withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at the tombstones.
"If you are greedy and chew more, no matter whether the way of the sword heart is an evil skill or not, you must gradually cultivate and comprehend. ”
"I'll get out of here first, and then try the cultivation method of the first layer of the Sword Heart Dao. ”
As soon as the thought of leaving popped up in Ji Tianxing's heart, the mysterious space and the eighteen ancient tombstones immediately became illusory and blurred.
The next moment, Ji Tianxing's mind returned to his place and sobered up.
He sat up from the bed, opened his eyes and looked around, and found that he was still in the room.
Outside the window, night had fallen, and the lights were on.
He took a sip of tea from the teacup at the head of the bed, rubbed his eyebrows a little tiredly, and muttered in a low voice, "Why am I dreaming like I'm asleep?"
"I don't know, the tomb of the sword god and the eighteen tombstones, is it real or a dream?"
Ji Tianxing frowned and recalled, and the words on the first and second tablets clearly appeared in his mind again.
He hesitated and thought about it for a moment, then decided to take a risk and try to cultivate the way of Kenshin.
