Chapter 3 The so-called swordsman
"You haven't left the town since you were a child, and you don't know anything about the outside world, right?" The first question of the shopkeeper attracted Hongyu's attention, what he wanted to know most was what kind of world this was, and he nodded quickly, looking overly curious.
"Wait, I don't know what your name is, what should I call you?" The shopkeeper was just about to speak, and Hong Yu suddenly thought that he didn't know how to call people, so he couldn't call him "hey", right?
"My name is Cook, you can call me Uncle Cook. Cook (who always calls him a shopkeeper and feels weird) gave him a deep look, and then said, "There is a spirit knife sleeping in everyone's body, and it is the embodiment of your will. ”
"Huh?" Hong Yu cried out in surprise when he heard the first sentence.
"Don't interrupt me", Cook didn't seem to be speaking to a child for the first time, and was not at all surprised by Hongyu's reaction, "Listen to me." Hongyu nodded and continued.
"Generally, at the age of six to ten, a person's sword will wake up from its deep sleep, which we call the spirit knife awakening. The person who awakens the spirit knife is a swordsman. Everyone has a spirit knife that belongs to them, and the abilities of the spirit knife are also strange! There will be no two identical knives in the world, just as there will be no two identical people. But not everyone's spirit sword can be awakened, in fact, the one who can awaken to become a swordsman is only one in a hundred people on average. At this point, Cook paused before adding, "I'll show you my spirit knife."
As he spoke, an ink-colored giant knife appeared in his right hand in the air.
What kind of knife is this, Hongyu never thought that the knife could be so big! The handle of the knife is about one foot long (one zhang is equal to ten feet, equal to one hundred inches, is equal to three .3 meters, and will not be repeated in the future), and the blade is five feet long, about five inches wide, and one inch thick! The tip of the knife is an inclined facet. The point is, why is this knife not edged?
As if seeing Hongyu's doubts, Cook introduced on the side: "The name of the knife has no edge, and it weighs five hundred pounds. It didn't have a blade, which I thought was strange at first, but it was only after a few battles that I came to understand the benefits of not having a blade. Under this terrifying weight, if you are chopped, you will be crushed directly into powder, not just cut it open. ”
What a scary knife!
"After every swordsman awakens his spirit knife, he will start cultivating, and what we have to cultivate is sword qi. With the improvement of realm cultivation, the power of the spirit knife will continue to increase, and more precisely, the true power of the spirit knife will be gradually released. The cultivation of the swordsman is divided into three stages: unraveling, sealing, and souling, the first stage is to release the shackles of the knife, the second stage is to break the seal of the knife, and the third stage is to release the soul of the knife. The highest level of the swordsman is to communicate with the soul of the knife and achieve the true unity of the human sword. Each major stage can be divided into three small stages, so there are a total of nine stages, which are the initial solution, the beginning solution, the ten thousand solutions, the peeping seal, the breaking of the seal, the opening of the seal, the condensation of the soul, the suppression of the soul, and the release of the soul"
"Look, the first stage is the three changes of the knife, and the three liberations can show the true form of the knife. As he spoke, he raised the knife above his head and shouted, "First solution!"
I saw that the blade of the knife quickly became larger, and after a while, it was doubled in size without the hilt changing, but it could still be held in the hand.
Then there was another low shout: "Beginning to solve!"
The blade began to change again, this time it didn't get bigger, but it became thicker!
Then Cook yelled, "Everything!"
Feather was staring at the knife in Cook's hand to see what else had changed, but the knife was gone. A dense shadow appeared on the ground, and when he looked up, the sky was full of enlarged versions of the giant knife! The tip of the knife was pointing downward, and if it was smashed down, many people would have to turn into pulp!
Hongyu, who was looking at the giant sword in the sky, suddenly felt a burst of pressure surging towards him from all directions, and large beads of sweat instantly soaked the clothes on his body! Fortunately, this pressure came and went quickly.
"What you just felt was domineering. After the swordsman reaches the soul condensing realm, the soul breath of the knife is released, and there is a chance to condense the domineering, the domineering suppression effect on the person who is not domineering is very obvious, and the high-level domineering also has a suppression effect on the low level, and it is difficult for the suppressed person to exert all his strength. As for whether you can comprehend domineering, on the one hand, it depends on luck, and on the other hand, it depends on the degree of understanding of the knife by the swordsman. ”
Recalling that terrifying aura, I couldn't help but shudder again!
Putting away the giant knife, Cook looked at Hongyu and said, "If the first stage is the liberation of the blade, then the second stage is the liberation of the soul of the sword. Break the seal of the spirit sword soul step by step. The third stage is to condense the sword soul, and then completely release it, so that you can communicate with the sword guest's mind. In addition to the spirit knife and domineering, there are two other points that are also crucial, namely the sword qi attribute and the physique. Everyone's innate attributes are different, and the sword qi they cultivate has different attributes, which are water, fire, wind, earth, light, darkness, and time. Most swordsmen are in the first four attributes, light and dark attributes are much rarer, as for the time attribute, I have only heard of it, and I have never seen or heard of anyone who has a time attribute. I'll talk to you about the problem of attribute restraint later, but now let's talk about the problem of physique. For a swordsman, this is the most basic and crucial. Without a good physique, you can't carry too much sword energy, and your achievements are naturally limited. In general, the evaluation of a swordsman's strength should be viewed from four aspects, namely sword, qi, tyrant, and body."
Hongyu listened to it like a fascination!
As a knife lover, come to a world of knives and see a wide variety of knives, and what could be more exciting!
Cook noticed the heat in Hongyu's eyes, nodded with satisfaction, and secretly said in his heart that he was worthy of being his descendant.
After listening to Cook's introduction, he remembered the ink-colored giant knife he saw before, and asked, "Uncle Cook, I just saw that your knife is black, are you a dark attribute?"
"yes, dark attributes. The little guy is good, I didn't tell you about the color corresponding to the attributes of the sword qi. The sword energy of the fire attribute is orange, the sword qi of the water attribute is blue, the wind attribute is cyan, the earth attribute is yellow, the light attribute is gold, and the dark attribute is black. I haven't seen the time property, but I've heard that it's colorless or transparent."
"Seven attributes, I don't know what attribute I am" said as he stretched out his hand, holding up a ball of air, and said with a serious face: "There is no color, I am a time attribute!"
"-!" Cook looked at the living treasure in front of him speechlessly, and was speechless for a while, if he was a short-tempered fire-attribute swordsman, hehe.
"Okay, having said all that, you should have a general understanding, did the old gentleman teach you anything before leaving?" Speaking of the old man, Cook was obviously a little depressed.
"There are three knives, there is nothing else" Hong Yu felt a pain in his heart, but his face did not show anything, but his smile was gone.
"Brute three knives, what is that?"
"I'll show you," he said, picking up the knife and making three movements, slashing horizontally, vertically, and diagonally. It doesn't drag mud and water at all, just like nature.
Cook stared at the three stabs in front of him in a daze, as if he had been struck by lightning! He couldn't believe that this was actually performed by a child who was less than six years old. These three swords, like flowing water, do not have the slightest condensation! At least they have to break the seal to achieve such a realm, right?
"Uncle Cook, what's wrong with you?" Hongyu asked after swinging the three knives, turned around, and noticed Cook's strange appearance.
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Cook shook his head, "It's okay."
"Your name is Hongyu?"
"yes"
"Then I'll call you Xiao Yu."
Although "good" felt a chill in his heart, he was forced to accept the title reluctantly due to the current situation of his body.
"Your spirit knife hasn't awakened yet, and it can't teach you to practice sword qi, so let's do it, you can still practice those three swords, practice well. If you have time, go out for a walk, and have a long experience, and staying at home every day is not conducive to awakening the spirit knife. With that, he left.
Originally, it didn't matter Hongyu, but as soon as he heard that it was not conducive to the awakening of the spirit knife, he immediately seemed to be a different person. After listening to him talk so much and looking at his knife again, I couldn't help but think, "What is my spirit knife?" I couldn't suppress the desire in my heart anymore, and I picked up the knife and was about to go out, but when I walked to the door, I suddenly thought of a serious question: "Where to go?"
But instead of going back, he went straight to the grocery store and bought a map. I always wanted to buy it before, but when I asked about the price, it was quite expensive, and I didn't need it urgently, so I didn't buy it. This time I had to walk around, and a map was essential.
Unfold the map to see the terrain around the town at a glance. There is actually a mountain range here, you might as well go in and take a look, maybe you can pick up peerless martial arts, practice a skill, become a general, marry an imperial princess, and go to the peak of life!
Thinking like this, he tightened the knife in his hand, took the map into his arms, and walked in the direction of the town, and the blood made him forget that his body was only a five-and-a-half-year-old child, and he didn't bring dry food, flint or other necessary tools in the field, so he carried a knife. Striped out of the house. (Don't think about it, people still have to wear clothes!)
Turn right out of the town and you'll find the way up the mountain.
Full of thirst for the sword, Hongyu finally embarks on his journey. In the words of later critics, it is the wheel of history that begins to move slowly!
