Chapter 35: Swordsmanship
The training room of Tianxiang Academy, which is a venue similar to the Black Court Training Ground, is equipped with various cold weapons next to it, and there are all kinds of energy supplements in the freezer, which is convenient for the students who have completed training to replenish their nutrition in time.
It's just that it's smaller than the Black Court Training Ground in terms of size, but it's completely enough for Xiao Lin and Su He, and this is originally a place for a small number of people to practice together.
At this time, Su He and Xiao Lin were sitting cross-legged in the middle of the field, Liu Chen was huddled in a recliner not far away, holding a plate of nuts in his hand, and the old god was watching them.
"Is this really appropriate?" Xiao Lin turned his head and glanced at Liu Chen, who had a look of enjoyment.
"Focus. Suhe said with a serious face, "The next thing I'm going to tell you is very important, don't be distracted by external objects." ”
Xiao Lin saw that Su He's face was serious, and he also restrained his mind and sat upright, waiting for Su He to speak again.
"Before, I asked you to practice some basic swordsmanship, that is to lay the foundation, the ancient method is not like the elements, this is not an innate ability, it requires a lot of practice. Su He paused and said, "With the connection of the Yanlong Mountain Range and the training during this time, you can be regarded as a preliminary entry, and you can start your subsequent cultivation." ”
Xiao Lin nodded, if it had been earlier, he would definitely have felt that Su He was deliberately hitting him, so that he should not be too proud.
But after seeing an ancient duel in the dueling arena today, he understood that Su He didn't mean any exaggeration, he was indeed just barely getting started now, and he was still 108,000 miles away from the completion of the sword path.
"Kendo used to be the ancient method of the glorious continent, there have been countless schools, countless swordsmanship, one of the few avenues. Su He's eyes were a little confused, and he said while reminiscing, with some regret in his words, "It's just that in the current environment, the vast majority of swordsmanship has long been lost, and countless schools have been annihilated in the years and cannot be verified. ”
Xiao Lin heard the pain from Su He's tone, the regret of losing countless treasures, and he finally understood how obsessed Su He was with swords.
"It's infuriating to see the history of the four abilities just coming into the mainstream. Su He's eyes were on fire when he talked about that period of history, "This is the history that can never be found in the history books, those have long been erased, and someone is deliberately covering up this fact." ”
"What fact?" Xiao Lin looked at Su He's angry expression with some curiosity.
Su He took a deep breath, as if to suppress the anger in his chest, "In the years when the Capable were just rising, they frantically slaughtered ancient cultivators, burned the exercises that had been handed down since ancient times, and even erased the previous history of the Capable Ones. ”
"How come?" Xiao Lin was surprised, he would be skeptical of Su He's remarks, the four empires have existed since ancient times, and after the birth of human beings on this continent, there were gradually four empires, it can be said that the history of mankind is the history of the four empires, which is the understanding he has been instilled since he was a child.
"Where did you hear that? Xiao Lin still can't believe these remarks, this is simply subverting his worldview, there was a history before the four ancient empires, and that history was erased by life, causing people now to live in a mess?
"I can't be sure or prove the truth of the statement, but think about it. Su He's eyes were shining, and he stared at Xiao Lin fiercely, "If the history of the four empires is the history of the capable, then why is there an ancient law, since it is an ancient law, it must have existed before the ability." ”
"It may be that the four empires did not have the ability at the beginning, only the ancient law, and then the ability appeared, and the ancient law was suppressed, but it does not mean that there was a history before the four empires. Xiao Lin scratched his head, a little puzzled.
"Forget it, we'll discuss this matter later, it's a bit far-fetched. Su He didn't know how to explain this matter, so he simply skipped it first, "Let's continue the topic of swordsmanship just now, no matter what the history is, the loss of a large number of swordsmanship is a fact, and there are only a few schools and three major swordsmanship left on this continent today. ”
"The three major swordsmanship?" Xiao Lin tilted his head.
"These are the three strongest swordsmanship that have been recognized in the entire continent today. Su He's expression was solemn, as if he was praying an extremely sacred oath, "They are the Heart Sword Technique, the Ghost Sword Technique, and the Heavenly Sword Technique. ”
"Heart Sword, Ghost Sword, Heavenly Sword. Xiao Lin muttered softly, keeping these three swordsmanship in his heart, "Then what kind of swordsmanship are we." ”
"We practice the Heart Sword Technique. Su He's face was serious, "This is an unbelievable swordsmanship, and it cultivates mental strength. ”
"Mental strength?" Xiao Lin's head was a little confused, and Su He's mouth always came out of some terms that he had never heard before.
"There are a lot of forces in this world, and you will learn it in the cultivation of the elements in the future, so I won't be verbose. Su He went straight to the point, "I'm going to tell you mainly about the problem of mental power, which is the foundation of the existence of the heart sword. ”
Su He paused for a moment to ponder how to speak, and soon he continued: "Nine out of ten of the swordsmanship in the world is slow work and meticulous work, and it takes a lot of time to refine it, constantly polish its skills, and constantly improve the flaws in its movements in order to reach the realm of transformation, but the three major swordsmanship are different, they require extra strength. ”
"What kind of power? The mental power you just mentioned?"
Su He nodded: "Mental power, as the name suggests, is the power of the mind, and most of the power of the heart swordsmanship depends on the power of the mind, and the stronger the heart power, the more powerful the swordsmanship." ”
"So it has nothing to do with the time of practice? Isn't it possible to become stronger soon?" Xiao Lin's eyes lit up, this kind of swordsmanship is good, it has nothing to do with the time of practice, as long as the heart is strong, it can burst out with great power at once.
"Don't be too happy, you're right, if a person's heart is strong, it is true that if a person has a strong heart, he can indeed burst out with more powerful power when he first comes into contact with the heart sword, but. Su He's words changed, "Your mental strength is not as easy as you think, and it is very likely that after ten or twenty years, your mental strength will still be in the same place, and there will be no progress." ”
Xiao Lin was stunned for a moment, and immediately didn't want to learn again, if he finally practiced for several years, and then didn't grow at all, then he really wanted to die.
"So how should I improve my mental strength?" Xiao Lin asked the most critical question.
"It's hard to improve. ”
"What?" Xiao Lin glared, "Then I won't learn it, this swordsmanship is too chicken." ”
"What's the hurry? Su He couldn't smile bitterly, he didn't teach others who wanted to learn such swordsmanship, Xiao Lin, this kid, said very freely and freely, "What I said is difficult, but it's not that it can't, if you can improve your mental strength, the power of this swordsmanship will not disappoint you, and as far as I know, only we are the only ones who have mastered such swordsmanship in the mainland today." ”
"I'm still more concerned about how to improve my mental strength?"
"Generally, there are two kinds, one is to practice the method of mental strength, which can increase the strength of mental strength, I will teach you this in a while, but the improvement is not large. "The other is experience, which is the fastest way to improve your mental strength. ”
"Experience, what is the experience?" Xiao Lin only felt that his head hurt, did Su He really teach him swordsmanship? He always felt unreliable, and some gods chattered.
"The things that make your mind fluctuate can improve your mental strength, why can those people who live for hundreds of years be calm in the face of anything, because they have experienced enough and their mental strength is strong enough. Su He further explained, "If you are taken as an example, the death of Senior Yun can make your mental strength much stronger all of a sudden. ”
Xiao Lin was stunned for a moment, Su He's words reminded him of Old Man Yun, his eyes dimmed, and his voice was a little low: "If that's the case, I'd rather my mental strength not improve." ”
Su He regretted it as soon as he said it, he was like slapping himself twice, recently it was hard to let Xiao Lin gradually come out of the shadow of the past, and the child would show a little smile on his face from time to time, but he returned to the original point with a word.
Liu Chen covered his head on the side and couldn't bear to look at it directly, Su He's emotional intelligence made him very anxious, he and Su He were close friends, so he also heard Xiao Lin's story, and as soon as Su He's words came out, he felt that something was going to happen.
However, Xiao Lin quickly eased up, and said in a flat tone: "I've said enough in the opening remarks, let's start teaching." ”
Su He coughed dryly a few times, and then began to teach Xiao Lin the swordsmanship and the method of cultivating mental strength, the name of the method is simple and clear, it is called "Heart Technique", which is a method that can slowly improve mental strength.
To Xiao Lin's surprise, there is no clear sword move in the heart swordsmanship, this is not an ordinary swordsmanship, but a kind of swordsmanship that controls other swordsmanship, it is no longer limited to ordinary moves, but controls a higher method and a higher level of the Tao with a transcendent attitude, and directly hits the essence of the way of the sword.
Xiao Lin was quickly immersed in the comprehension of the Heart Sword Technique, closing his eyes and constantly pondering what Su He told him, his brows furrowed.
Su He looked at Xiao Lin with flickering eyes, he was actually a little worried in his heart, he had already had the idea of teaching the Heart Sword Technique before, but he had been hesitating.
The level of heart swordsmanship is too high, this is the law of swordsmanship, and it is the rule of all sword moves, for Xiao Lin, this is simply like a book from heaven, after all, Xiao Lin's foundation is still too shallow.
The reason is very simple, if you stand on the top of the mountain, you can naturally feel the scenery at the top of the mountain, but if you are at the bottom of the mountain, even if others tell you the scenery of the mountain in detail, you will not be able to really feel the beauty.
Su He and Liu Chen quietly retreated, leaving Xiao Lin alone in the training room to continue to comprehend the Heart Sword Technique.
As soon as the two of them left, there was an imperceptible spatial fluctuation in the room, and a man dressed in white appeared behind Xiao Lin dressed as a scholar.
Xiao Lin's entire mind was immersed in the heart swordsmanship, and he was unaware of the appearance of the white-clothed scholar.
The white-clothed scholar looked at Xiao Lin, who was closing his eyes and comprehending swordsmanship, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I finally found it." ”
With that, the white palm slowly stretched out towards Xiao Lin and fell towards the top of Xiao Lin's head.
