Chapter 55: Smoke Willow Swordsmanship

Back in the martial arts, Bei Mingxuan examined the cultivation progress of the 9 disciples, and they all made great progress, and he was very satisfied. Xiao Hong deserves to be known as the genius of the Northern Immortal Family, and his skills have grown the fastest, and he has touched the barrier of the ground level; 5 people including Bei Yingfeng and Li Yirong have all reached the late stage of the Xuan Rank; and Hai Shaowei 3 people have also reached the early stage of the Xuan Rank because of the marrow washing skill of the Northern Xuan Xuan. The formation of the nine-person drill has made great progress, and Bei Mingxuan is very pleased, and after careful guidance, he left a batch of resources for them to cultivate. Gu Wu cultivation uses spiritual jade as the source of internal qi growth, and I am afraid that there is only one family in the North Ming Xuan throughout the ages, if it is known by the cultivators, it will definitely scold the North Ming Xuan for being a waste, and I don't understand the preciousness of these resources.

Bei Mingxuan remembered that he had been separated from Master Jue Ran for a few months, and the master invited him to talk about Zen together after returning to the martial arts. Running around and retreating and practicing has not yet been completed, so they hurriedly took Hai Ling, and the two drove straight to Yunlin Temple. As soon as the two of them reached the mountain gate, a monk who knew the guest had already walked up quickly.

The monk clasped his palms together and asked, "Are the two of you the elder couple of the Northern Underworld?"

Bei Mingxuan smiled back and said, "Master Buddhism is a god, I know that the two of us have come to visit? ”

The monk didn't say much, and respectfully led the two to Master Jueran's meditation room.

When I arrived at the door of the meditation room, a Buddha called inside the door: "Amitabha, Xiao Xuan is late, and the old monk has been in suspense for a long time." ”

Outside the North Darkness Xuanmen, he bowed and bowed: "The master is worried, the younger generation is afraid, and the vulgar people are complicated, please forgive the master." ”

Master Jue Ran laughed: "Come in and talk, the old man is here, it can be said that there is a fate." ”

The door of the meditation room opened without wind, and Bei Mingxuan and Hai Ling bowed in, and when they raised their eyes, they saw Master Jueran sitting cross-legged in the main seat, and Minister Guan Shanyue was sitting in the guest seat.

Bei Mingxuan stepped forward to salute: "The master is well, why is Minister Guan also at the master's place, I am really fortunate to have it." ”

Master Jue Ran said: "You really don't listen to what is going on outside the window, and you only concentrate on cultivating ancient martial arts! Mr. Guan has been transferred to serve as secretary of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee for more than two months, and Secretary Guan often comes to accompany me to talk about the scriptures and discuss the Fa, but you are nowhere to be seen. ”

It turned out that Guan Shanyue said that this was what he meant when he said that he would meet in Jiangnan, and Guan Shanyue's appointment as secretary of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee was naturally a step into the Politburo, which can be described as a high authority. After some congratulations, apologies, and humility, the guests and hosts sat down.

Master Jueran twisted his white beard in his hand, pointed to the two of them and said: "Xiao Xuan's skill has risen greatly, his lover is happy to have a phoenix fetus, and double happiness is coming, and the old monk will ask for a glass of water and wine to drink." ”

Bei Mingxuan knew that Master Jueran not only had ancient martial arts skills, but also a person who had attained the Tao and said, "Master, Ling'er was a little alarmed when she was pregnant, do you think this child is healthy?"

Master Jue Ran asked suspiciously: "Is Xiao Xuan making a mystery?" Hai Ling cultivates the exercises, and you maintain it with internal qi, and the doll has not yet grown into a spiritual energy, and you actually ask me if I am healthy. ”

After congratulating the two of them, Guan Shanyue said: "Brother Beiming accepted the commission of General Qin, and he has not performed his duties after several months, so he is a little slack." ”

Bei Mingxuan touched his head and replied embarrassedly: "Secretary Guan didn't say that I left it behind, I have entrusted Senior Brother Fan with the training of special forces, he will regularly send people to the army to perform their duties, and ask Secretary Guan to explain it to me on my behalf." ”

Guan Shanyue and Master Jueran looked at each other and laughed, Guan Shanyue nodded at Bei Mingxuan: "My brother is really sincere, I will go to the army when I have time, and I will have more contact with these Qiu Eight Masters, and I will naturally get close to each other." You even left the head of Shushan and the Minghai Group behind, where would you use this instructor to restrain you. ”

Master Jue Ran said: "Xiao Xuan is sincere by nature, he values right and wrong, and he acts in the same way, he is the mainstay of Gu Wu, Long Xingyun, this old man forced you to enter the Dragon Pavilion, right?"

Bei Mingxuan said: "Yes." ”

Master Jue Ran said: "Your temperament is very suitable for this position, to maintain the justice of the ancient martial arts, to keep my Yanlong safe, my generation of ancient martial artists is duty-bound, although the old man is empty outside the clouds, but it is still his duty to subdue demons and eliminate demons." ”

Bei Mingxuan asked: "Master, the ancient martial arts sects have been fighting for each other since ancient times, and there is endless chaos, and this demonic theory must not be without cause." ”

Master Jue Ran glanced at Guan Shanyue, Guan Shanyue nodded and said, "My brother has been in retreat for several months, and I don't know that there have been new changes in Gu Wu. The Changting faction united more than a dozen sects to establish the Changting Alliance, and then expanded greatly, and the original Guwu sect in Xishu was greatly impacted. In the south, the Nangong family took advantage of the situation to unify the ancient martial arts sects and clans in the south. Masters in the league frequently appeared, and their actions were high-profile and flamboyant, which attracted the attention of the central government. The purpose of Gu Wu has always been to avoid the world, try not to contact with society, so as not to affect social stability, Chang Tingmeng recruited disciples on a large scale, regardless of the good and bad, and did not restrain the disciples, which caused a lot of pressure on the local government. ”

Master Jue Ran added: "I have already felt a demonic aura in Changting Mountain, and the traces of demons are looming, and now it seems that Ying Daopu's behavior is very unreasonable, there has never been an ancient martial arts sect that recruits children like this, and there is no sect or sect that can make a disciple's skill so fast. If things are abnormal, they are demons, and the Mingyue League is now very passive to deal with it, isn't Xiaoyou moved when he hears it?"

Bei Ming Xuan said: "There have been such changes in just a few months, and the younger generation really doesn't know about the deep mountain retreat. Ying Daopu intends to unify the ancient martial arts, but he is already in the middle of the Heavenly Rank, and if he enters the ancient martial arts realm again, he will be respected, does he still want to become an immortal?

Guan Shanyue said: "What is his intention, I have discussed with the master many times, but there is no result, it is just the expansion of personal ambition and desire for power, or if there is something else, I don't know." ”

Bei Mingxuan said: "If this is the case, the Bright Moon Alliance needs to take precautions, formulate a plan to deal with changes, and have a resolute attitude, and must not show weakness." ”

Master Jue Ran sighed: "The two of you came to talk about Zen, looking for a long day of tranquility, I don't want the tree to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and you can't be idle in the mortal world!"

Bei Mingxuan said: "The ancient way of the master is warm, and it is the bodhisattva's heart that saves the people from fire and water. ”

Guan Shanyue said: "The master is an ancient martial artist, and it is incumbent on him." ”

Master Jue Ran shook his head and said, "The two of you brag and puff each other, and the old monk lifts high and falls heavily. The world is empty and mediocre people disturb themselves, and if someone wants to be empty, why not return him to an empty one, which can be regarded as his original intention. ”

Both of them are smart people, nodding yes, the three of them chatted for a while, Guan Shanyue was busy saying goodbye first, and the North Xuan Dynasty sent off the guests.

Guan Shanyue asked as he walked, "Can my brother's company go smoothly now?"

Bei Mingxuan didn't ask about the company's affairs for a long time, and said: "The company has always been taken care of by my father and father-in-law, I have already unloaded the burden, it should be normal, and I haven't heard anything at home." ”

Guan Shanyue said: "From the perspective of company development, it should be an opportunity, and large multinational enterprises in Nanyang are interested in investing. ”

Bei Mingxuan said: "The company is not short of funds. ”

Guan Shanyue said: "Maybe consider entering the Nanyang and Xijin markets, your core technology is leading after all, and you just pay attention to it if you don't mean anything else." In addition, General Qin's biggest expectation is for you to form a special forces, and the younger brother still has to put some effort into it. ”

Bei Mingxuan nodded in agreement, and the two waved goodbye.

Bei Mingxuan returned to the meditation room, and Hai Ling was discussing the efficacy of the pill with the master. Master Jue Ran believes that it is beneficial for the elixir to reconcile yin and yang and balance the five elements, and to use the essence of heaven and earth as a supplement to stimulate potential and replenish energy. But don't rely too much on pills, just like ripening watermelons, there are many melons, but there is less fragrance and sweetness that melons and fruits should have. You can't really grow up without grinding. Hai Ling thought so, she had been studying the pill for a while, and after studying the secret book of the Tiandanmen, she had a deep understanding that the medicine was just to help, and the indiscriminate use of it was to pull the seedlings to help it. This discussion was later confirmed among the children of the families of Bei Ming Xuan and Hai Ling, and some disciples were not determined to achieve speed, and took pills as the only way to improve their skills, creating a vain success and a weak successor. However, most of the children respect the ancestral teachings, are diligent in self-cultivation, and focus on their own cultivation, supplemented by the elixir left by their ancestors, and they have achieved great success.

When Master Jueran saw Bei Mingxuan coming back, he asked, "Xiao Xuan, what do you think of the pill?"

Beiming Xuan Screen: "The pill is an aid to cultivation, to help breakthroughs, to help improvement, and it is naturally not beneficial to use too much." ”

Jue Ran and Hai Ling both nodded, and Jue Ran said: "Judging by your complexion and strength, the early stage of the ground level has been stabilized, if you use this skill to add your divine weapons and wonderful skills to fight with Ying Daopu fairly, what do you think?"

Beiming Xuan Zhengse said: "It's still far from each other, unmatched, I'm afraid that even Huang Daohuang can't be beaten." ”

Jue Ran said: "I am relieved that you have such a cognition, the difference between the heavenly level and the earth level is not a difference in level, but a difference in essence. The internal power of your dantian is extremely pure, and it is not much better than us. Now your internal forces have begun to liquefy, so step into the ground. But you notice no, your meridians are still running in the gaseous internal qi, and your meridians can only withstand the gaseous internal qi. And even if the internal qi in the dantian is all converted into a liquid state and reaches the Great Perfection of the Ground Level, it will only increase the total amount of internal qi, and it can still be supplied and used in a gaseous state. But when it comes to the heavenly level, all the internal forces in the body exist in the form of liquid, and the meridians and dantian are all liquid internal qi, and the same move liquid internal force is incomparable with the gaseous internal force, so the combat power of the heavenly level and the great perfection of the earth level are also unmatched. ”

It was the first time that Bei Mingxuan had heard the Heavenly Rank Taidou talk about Gu Wu, and he had a deep understanding of what he said. You must know that he is an existence with a sea of consciousness, and the control of internal force by powerful spiritual power is not comparable to ordinary ancient martial arts cultivators. Moreover, because of the cultivation of Vajra Duel, the strength of his muscles and veins is also much higher than that of ancient martial arts cultivators of the same level, and it is conceivable that the improvement of his realm after having a goal can be imagined.

The master continued: "Although there have not been many people in the late stage of the ancient martial arts in the past dynasties, there have never been less than a hundred. Don't be surprised, the hermit masters are always unknown, even the five great families are by no means this strength on the surface. There are not a few sects that know this truth and leave secrets and secret techniques. If my Shushan Sect hadn't been in decline for a hundred years and a large number of exercise cheats were lost, you would have known this knowledge a long time ago. But why are there really few people in the Heavenly Rank, sometimes there is only one person in a generation, and now there are five Heavenly Rank who are already at the peak of the ancient martial arts. Because, in addition to continuous refining, refining, and compression, there must also be some opportunities. Just now I talked about the pill, what is the fate of the old dragon, I have no way of knowing, my fate is very simple, Yunlin Temple has passed down a pill since ancient times - the Heavenly Pill, and those who have reached the Great Perfection of the Earth Level can apply to take one, and the old man coincidentally applied to the last Heavenly Pill, and finally achieved the Heavenly Rank. Hailing Jingyan Dan has a Tiandan cheat, and you can try to develop a Tiandan. ”

Hai Ling said: "Master, there is no way to start without the pill, and there is no such pill in the Heavenly Pill cheats." ”

Jue Ran said: "I don't have a pill but I have a pill, but I don't have any research on pills, and the Tiandanmen has long been empty, and only you can be the one who is responsible for this." ”

After speaking, he took out a pale yellow old paper and handed it to Hai Ling, Hai Ling saw that there were more than ten names of herbs and accessories written on the paper, most of which were unheard of, but it was easy to find with a name, and it was not as clueless as before. Such a precious thing, Master Jue Ran did not hesitate to take it out, and Bei Mingxuan stood up in fear and thanked him.

Master Jue Ran said with a smile: "Mo Xie, Mo Xie, the old monk is selfish, the pill is extinct, and there is no alchemist, ask for a bargain, if Hai Ling is really successful, I want to ask you for three pills, which can be regarded as leaving an opportunity for future generations, but the kindness that Yunlin Temple gave me." ”

The two of them said in unison: "This is natural, dare not obey your fate." ”

Jue Ran said: "I watched the video of your competition with Ying Daopu, your sword is very big, can you lend me a look?"

Bei Mingxuan hurriedly took out the sword and handed it over respectfully. Jue Ran took it, but Jue Ran was heavy.

Bei Mingxuan explained: "When this sword enters the internal qi, the sword will occur, and it will be as light as nothing, and it will swing freely. ”

Jue Ran Yun internal qi input sword, with the purity of his heavenly rank internal qi, it still can't fully show the power of the Northern Immortal Xuan when he enters the internal qi. Jue Ran danced casually for a moment, put the sword into the sheath and returned it to Bei Mingxuan.

Master Jue Ran said: "This sword is extraordinary, and it fits your internal qi, and it is really designed for you. How long can you use your skills?"

Bei Ming Xuan replied: "Originally, it was only 15 minutes at the intermediate level, but now it should be no problem to cast it for 1 hour." ”

Jue Ran nodded: "I look at your swordsmanship, the sword momentum is round, like a seal, and the attack in the defense is not exactly the sword intent of Shushan." ”

Bei Ming Xuan said: "I practiced the essence of Tai level with Teacher Lu Feng, and I took advantage of the situation with skillful and strong, and added the artistic conception of Tai Chi to the Shushan swordsmanship. ”

Jue Ran said: "The Tai level is born of chaos, yin and yang and the combination of life is endless, and you have obtained the samadhi in it. Although this sword technique is good, it does not match your sword, this sword is light and full of spirit after entering the internal qi, and it is suitable for attack and not defense. Shushan swordsmanship has both offense and defense, and the artistic conception of Taiji is offensive and defensive. I have a set of swordsmanship, I have practiced it when I was a teenager, I haven't practiced it for decades, I'm afraid it's a little rusty, you are also a swordsman, and when I practice it, you can judge, Hai Ling can also figure it out carefully. ”

Where did the two of them not know the meaning of the master's sword, and thanked them: "Thank you master, the younger generation must understand it with your heart." ”

The three of them walked out of the meditation room and came to the pond in the meditation courtyard, and Jueran casually picked a young branch of the willow tree by the pond.

He walked to the courtyard and said: "This sword technique is called "Smoke Lock Pond Willow", which is said to be absolute through the ages, and the old man is dull and does not know whether it is. ”

His middle fingers held the twigs between his fingers and swayed gently. At the beginning, it didn't seem to be practicing swordsmanship, but it seemed to be dancing, but when I was concentrating, I saw that the sword qi was vertical and horizontal, and the young branches and green leaves all emitted a thick sword aura. Master Jueran's figure was fluttering, and his hands were waving, and the sword qi around his body condensed into waves, emerging endlessly. Suddenly, the sword momentum changed, and the waves in the sky turned into a fog in the sky, and the willow branches and willow leaves loomed in the mist, not waving, but only swinging with the wind. Looking at Jue Ran with his hands behind his back at this time, the willow branches fluttered on their own, and the sword moved at will, and the fog suddenly parted, looking like an ink landscape painting in the south of the Yangtze River from a distance. The green willows, pond embankments, and the sword qi flew in the mist, surrounded by a pool of clear water, and there was a faint figure under the willow tree, with a gray robe and white beard and a bald head, vaguely Master Jueran.

Master Jue Ran stretched out his hand a little, and several willow leaves fluttered up on the branches, gently cutting a Taihu Lake stone by the pond into pieces, and then being blown away by the mist, turning into dust and drifting away with the wind. The sword light was stunned, and Jue Ran stood quietly in the field with willow branches between his fingers, as if he had never moved. The willow leaves on the willow branch fell off, and the two were surprised to see that the buds slowly grew on the branches.

Master Jue Ran said: "This branch used to be a sword, and the murderous aura was permeated as death, but now it spits out new shoots, and after a long time, it is planted in the willow shade, and it is still a willow branch that indicates life." ”

Bei Mingxuan closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, opened his eyes and clenched his fists and bowed to Master Jueran to thank him: "Thank you for the master's advice, the younger generation has benefited a lot." ”

Jue Ran said, "Oh, what a benefit? ”

Bei Mingxuan said: "Life and death, death and death, life and death, death and life, life and death, life and death, life and death, life is death, death is life, life is life, life is life, death is death." ”

The two looked at each other and laughed, Hai Ling was incomprehensible. Master Jueran's set of "Smoke Lock Pond Willow" swordsmanship opened the eyes of the two, especially Hai Ling, who only saw the appearance, and his intuition was incredible. Bei Mingxuan took out the sword and waved it in the courtyard, it was jerky at first, and soon the sword was ethereal, so that the sword was carried by his fingers, and the sword moved at will, and the sea spirit looked like a ball of sword light rotating and circling around Bei Mingxuan. Or like a breeze blowing waves, or like a hookah, or an embankment is eternal, or a strange soldier is protruding, and the sword is flying around the body.

This round of sword training lasted for an hour and a half, and Bei Ming Xuan was able to stand up. With his skills, he can only use all his strength to make the Qinglong Sword for an hour, and he can use the "Smoke Lock Pond Willow" sword technique so far, but he is full of energy and fatigue, and his skill consumption is only one-third. Therefore, there is no such thing as the best, only the most suitable technique.

The swordsmanship that Jue Ran passed on to Bei Mingxuan is only the essence and artistic conception, and the flow of sword moves is a fetter for people in their realm, as long as the artistic conception is there, it is a trick to wield it at will. This swordsmanship is a perfect match with the Qinglong Sword, which makes the combat power of the Northern Underworld Xuan soar, and it is not impossible to fight with the Heavenly Rank after more practice.
