Wang Er knelt down solemnly, and respectfully kowtowed to the dead wood branch nine times.

Mo Chou saw that Wang Er had finished kowtowing, and he carefully rewrapped the branch, put it back in his arms, and continued: "The rules in the door, you need to remember, if you dare to violate the rules of the door, you don't need people in the door to kill you, you yourself will suffer from it, do you understand?" ”

Wang Er saw that Mo Chou's eyes were murderous and terrifying, and he only felt that the blood in his whole body was solidified, and he replied resignedly: "Yes, I remember!" ”

Mo Chou said: "You should say that the disciple should remember. ”

Wang Er said: "Yes, disciple remember. ”

Mo Chou slowly sat down on another futon and said, "The rules in the door, one, don't kill indiscriminately, two, don't commit adultery, three, don't steal, four......"

Mo Chou said the rules of the door, and after he finished speaking, he asked Wang Er to repeat it again, until Wang Er recited the word well, then he stopped, and said: "There are thousands of people who practice martial arts in the world, countless!" On the rivers and lakes, as long as you do it with people, you are fighting with your life, and if you stab it with a sword, you are gambling on life and death! ”

Mo Chou said again: "Bet on your own life, but also on the life and death of your enemies!" If you stab out with a sword, the stab is a minute slower, and the stab is an inch off, then you will die on the spot! Whether you have practiced for three years or thirty years, you will become a cold corpse! Let me ask you, everyone is one head, two hands, and fighting with others, why do you think that only you can kill others, but others can't kill you? ”

Wang Er thought about it carefully and said, "I think it's because our Deadwood Sect has excellent swordsmanship, fast stabbing and accurate stabbing, and no one else is our opponent!" ”

Mo Chou couldn't help but smile when he heard this answer, and said: "What you said is not entirely right, on the rivers and lakes, there are many capable people!" There are endless masters from all walks of life! Like strange weapons, swords and arrows, tricks, poisons, and mechanisms, all of them are things that can kill people! Therefore, walking the rivers and lakes is not invincible just by relying on swordsmanship! The reason why our Deadwood Sect is so clever is just two words - fine - sincerity! ”

Wang Er didn't listen to the clouds and mountains and mist, and said very incomprehensibly: "The disciple doesn't understand what the master means, and he asks the master to make it clear." ”

Mo Chou did not reprimand Wang Er for not even understanding such a simple truth, but continued: "Jing, it means that the swordsmanship and moves you have learned are practiced like instinct, every move, every advance and retreat, all are sword moves, the enemy stabs with a sword, you don't even think about it, you can use the long sword to automatically counterattack!" Even in your sleep, if someone sneaks up on you, you have to be able to fight back with a sword in your sleep! If the enemy stabs you with a sword, you are still thinking about which move should I use to fight back? Before you even think about it, you're already a corpse! ”

Wang Er was a little shocked, and said with some disbelief: "Can you fight back with a sword in your sleep?" Could it be that he knew in advance that someone was coming to sneak attack, so he was pretending to be asleep in advance? ”

Mo Chou laughed, shook his head and said, "Although your root organ is not good, your brain is very smart!" But you're wrong, sleep is real sleep, if people sleep from time to time, and don't sleep for many years, unless it's the Great Luo Jin Immortal in the sky, otherwise if mortals like us don't sleep well every day and are depressed, how can we do tricks with people? ”

Mo Chou said, got up and walked out of the cave, and after a while, he broke a branch from outside the cave and came back.

He held the branch in his hand, pulled out the long sword at his waist with his backhand and handed it to Wang Er.

Wang Er didn't know why, so he took the long sword handed over by his master.

Mo Chou turned his back to Wang Er and ordered, "You do everything you can to stab me." ”

Wang Er was a little frightened, and thought to himself: "Even if the master is superb in swordsmanship, he can't see how I use the sword at all, if I really stab the master, what can I do?" ”

But since Master told him to stab, he had to get a stab!

Wang Er held up his long sword and slowly stabbed at Mo Chou's back shoulder.

Unexpectedly, before he handed out the long sword, he suddenly felt a huge shock in his arm, only to hear a crisp sound of 'dang', and the long sword in his hand had already been hit by a strong force!

Mo Chou shouted murderously: "Pick it up, stab hard, if you don't use the next sword, you will die!" ”

Wang Er was taken aback, hurriedly picked up the long sword, calmed down, used all his strength, and stabbed Mo Chou in the heart with a fierce sword!

When the long sword was handed to Mo Chou about two feet behind, Wang Er still didn't see what was going on this time, and felt a huge shock in his hand, and the long sword flew out again!

Mo Chou didn't look back, and said sternly: "Pick it up and stab it again!" ”

Wang Er was completely shocked by his master's swordsmanship, and he once again stabbed out with all his strength, but the long sword in his hand still couldn't pierce two feet behind the master.

Master's back looks like a pair of eyes!

There were many stabs, and Wang Er was surprised to find that whether he was a horizontal stab, a vertical stab, or an oblique stab, the master, who had never turned back, could always accurately hit the same position on the spine of the long sword with a wooden stick!

I don't know how many swords were stabbed, Wang Er was so tired that he couldn't even lift the long sword, his whole body was sweating like rain, and he was panting!

Mo Chou finally turned around and asked, "Do you know why you can't stab me no matter what?" ”

Wang Er shook his head while panting loudly, "The disciple really doesn't know. ”

Mo Chou said: "It's just a sincere word." ”

Mo Chou motioned for Wang Er to sit on another futon and said, "People, born with Dao bodies, are gifted, born by innate qi, and are gifted with supernatural powers!" However, since people are born, they have been subjected to the acquired spirit, and because of the distractions in their hearts, their spirituality has gradually disappeared in the depths of their hearts, and their talents have been lost! ”

Mo Chou inserted the long sword back into the scabbard, and then said: "The Dead Wood Divine Skill is a kind of Divine Skill that goes against the sky!" The profundity of this practice can be reversed from the acquired to the innate place! But to practice this kung fu, you must always keep one word - sincerity! ”

"If your mind is not sincere, your heart is not strong, your inner qi is devoured, you go crazy, if you don't die, you will be crazy, if you are not crazy, you must keep this in mind!"

Wang Er nodded and said, "Disciple, remember!" ”

Mo Chou said: "If you do it with others, you have to see life and death, and when you see life and death, there is an extraordinary way, if you want to kill people first, kill yourself first!" ”

Wang Er waited for a long time, and when he saw that Mo Chou no longer spoke, he said in confusion: "Please also ask Master to make it clear!" ”

Mo Chou said: "This dead wood magic skill, although it is a peerless internal skill that is unique in ten thousand, but the method is different, you come with me!" ”

Wang Er followed Mo Chou and walked several miles outside the cave until he came to a dead tree.

Mo Chou said: "Look at this tree. ”

Wang Er looked at it carefully, and saw that the branches of this big tree were as thick as a basin, and he thought that this tree was an extremely leafy and vigorous tree before it withered!

But now the tree is dead entirely, and the trunk has burst open several gaps of great length and width because of dryness!

Mo Chou said: "This kung fu is called the Dead Wood Divine Skill, which is what the ancestor learned from the dead trees!" You look at this big tree, it looks like it's dead, but it's not, you look here. ”

Mo Chou pointed to the root of the dead tree.

Wang Er looked down and saw that the dead tree was close to the trunk of the root, and many young seedlings had grown lushly.

Wang Er asked, "What does Master mean that this tree is not dead?" ”

Mo Chou said: "The life of trees is actually divided into inside and outside, and it is divided into two sets!" This dead tree looks lifeless from the outside, it's dead! But it's actually full of life inside, containing infinite life force! ”

Wang Er only felt that the lightning flashed in front of him, and the dead tree had been cut off by the master with a sword!

The dry trunk of the tree slowly fell, and on the exposed stump, there was a green liquid slowly pouring out!

Mo Chou continued: "Human beings are born with Dao bodies! Everything in the world is born like a human! In fact, human life is divided into inside and outside! However, secular people often only focus on the outside, not on the inside, and do not understand the way of self-cultivation and the unity of nature and man. After practicing the Deadwood Divine Skill for a long time, you will naturally be able to understand the key to the transformation of heaven and man! To practice this kung fu, you must first abstain from sex, anger, joy, worry, sorrow, shock, and sorrow! As long as it is too much of a physical attrition, it is forbidden to do so! But that's not to say you can't, but it's not too deep, it's not too heavy, it's not too heavy! Otherwise, the power of the Dead Wood Divine Skill will be like a boat sailing against the current, not advancing but retreating, do you understand? ”

Wang Er took note of it and said, "Disciple, remember." ”

Mo Chou said: "To practice this skill, you must first respond to Tianyuan externally, adjust the five qi internally, breathe and breathe, introvert the divine light, gather the dantian, and then practice the refinement of the qi, practice the qi and transform the spirit, practice the spirit against the void, practice the void and the Tao, after the success, then it sleeps without dreams, its feeling is worry-free, its food is unwilling, its breath is deep, no death is not life, no void is not ying, it is called - real people!" ”

Wang Er didn't understand, and said, "The disciple doesn't understand, please make it clear to the master." ”

Mo Chou said: "If you are too happy, you will have a heart meridian, if you are too angry, you will have a liver meridian, if you are too frightened, if you are too sad, if you are too sad, you will have a closed stomach, if you are too sad, you will have a closed kidney meridian, and if you are too worried, you will have a stomach meridian, in addition to the twelve meridians, there are eight strange meridians, the whole human body runs through the whole body by the meridians, the meridians swing with the heart, and move with the body. ”

"So if you want to practice the sword, practice first, if you want to practice, first strengthen the body, if you want to strengthen the body, first cultivate the mind!"

Mo Chou explained in detail at what time every day, how to breathe, how to meditate after breathing, and how to practice the secret meditation skills of the Dead Wood Sect, and stipulated to Wang Er that he must practice the exercises from that hour to that hour every day!

Practicing the exercises is much simpler, that is, up and down the mountain, back and forth a few times!

Mo Chou also talked about the dangerous places of the mountain, how to exert force, and how to easily cross it.

Wang Er all carefully remembered it in his heart, and seeing that Mo Chou had already finished speaking, and said that as long as he practiced according to this method and practiced for three years, his kung fu would be successful, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, and asked, "Master, the disciple has something unknown!" ”

Mo Chou seemed to be able to read minds, and said, "You want to ask, why didn't you teach you to practice swordsmanship?" ”

Wang Er said: "Exactly." ”

Mo Chou said: "The sword technique is just the law, and the person who uses the sword is the technique!" If you teach you swordsmanship now, once you practice it into a habit, your future achievements in swordsmanship will be very limited! Don't say that becoming a top master in swordsmanship is to meet some bastard masters on the rivers and lakes, I'm afraid you will also lose a lot! ”

Wang Erdao: "The disciple understands, what the master means is that when the disciple's body is strong, he will practice swordsmanship, and then ...... That's it. ”

Wang Er originally wanted to say an idiom, but after all, the culture was limited, and he couldn't think of what idiom to say, so he couldn't help but pause in the middle of the conversation.

Mo Chou said: "It's a matter of course, that's right, but it's not right." ”

Mo Chou stood up and walked in the cave for a while before he said slowly: "The deadwood magic is unparalleled in the world!" But there is a great difficulty, because a tree is a tree after all, and it is different from people, so when this set of kung fu is practiced for about three years, there is a pass, which is extremely dangerous, if the heart of the Tao is not strong, or the mind is not pure, or the evil spirit, or the fierce and ruthless, etc., as long as the selfish distractions are too heavy, it will definitely go mad! Once you go mad, if you don't die, you will be paralyzed! If you don't be paralyzed, you're crazy! If you're not crazy, you're crazy! But if you can get through it! The magic of dead wood will be reborn day by day, and there will be no obstacles again! ”

Wang Er was taken aback and said, "That...... The disciple ......"

Mo Chou shook his head and said, "Don't be too afraid, as long as your thoughts are mellow and clear, and your heart is as solid as iron, there is no obstacle to the pass!" And as long as you pass this pass, practicing swordsmanship is as easy as a snap! You don't have to worry, just study hard every day! ”

Wang Er had no choice but to reply, "Yes, the disciple obeys." ”
