Chapter 41: Fingers

Pei Ye watched with pity as the descendant of the Cuiyu Sword Sect left the martial field, and pressed his mind to itch his skills.

Today, Pei Ye reported to the sect leader, no longer cultivated according to the schedule, and went to the tree to ponder the Qingming two styles by himself. It just so happens that Zhang Dingyun is not there, Chang Yue and Zhang Junxue can combine sparring.

To be honest, after trying in the morning, Pei Li felt as if he was trapped by these two types of swords again.

From "learning" to "using", it seems that there is a deeper gap than "can't" to "can't".

He had thought that after mastering these two types of swords in one go, he would be able to find the trick to building momentum in actual combat with a little more familiarity, but now he began to wonder if this trick really existed.

In the face of a strong enemy, it is necessary to tolerate mistakes, and now you have to tie your hands and feet, trying to build up momentum under the fierce offensive of the opponent - this is an impossible thing to do.

Pei Li originally thought that there would be an answer to this question in this style of sword, but now it seems that there is not.

But since they have designed such a sword. Pei Ye frowned and thought, for the first time he was a little suspicious of his kendo talent.

For the next whole day, Pei Ye was fighting these two types of swords.

Although he used a "tricky" way to learn these two types of swords, it was only because the shortcut that belonged to him was there. When it comes to solid practice, young people never lack the patience and perseverance to fail and try again and again.

Once, twice, ten, hundred, thousand

Pei Li had almost entered the realm of selflessness, and there were only these two types of swords in his eyes in his eyes, and he felt that he was rapidly becoming familiar with it, and the sound was becoming clearer and clearer.

But the trick never appeared.

It wasn't until a sword stabbed out and there was no longer a flash on the sword that Pei Ye found that the surrounding body had been shrouded in darkness.

The martial arts hall has long since ended.

In the corner, a steaming woman swings the stone lock back into place.

"What time is it?" Pei Li asked.

"It's time."

Pei Ye looked at the sword in his hand and was a little silent.

He firmly believes that swordsmanship with the ability to defeat the strong with the weak must be able to be used in front of strong enemies. It's a basic logic.

Of course, there is also the kind of explosive swordsmanship that relies on magic weapons or the protection of others to accumulate power, but this sword is obviously not, Pei Ye can feel that the sword writer is trying his best to compress the time of accumulation, and he is also trying to liberate the body when he is accumulating.

He put a lot of effort into this place so that the sword-wielder could use it to withstand the enemy's attacks.

He took such great pains to let this sword pierce the throat of a strong enemy.

How can it not be used?

Zhang Junxue looked at the frowning young man, and said in a muffled voice, "Do you want to practice with you?" ”

As soon as Pei Ye turned his head, a woman who was almost the same size as himself stood aside, her forehead wet and sticking to her eyebrows, beads of sweat sliding down her face.

"No need." Pei Ye frowned slightly, "You really have to be appropriate." ”

"It's fine." Zhang Junxue said two more words rarely, "I am strong and not easy to break." ”

She slung the broadsword on her back and walked away with heavy steps.

Pei Ye didn't leave, he raised his sword again.

This time, he set his sights on the "parry" he had comprehendedβ€”perhaps he could only solve the problem from here.

Pei Ye turned to the state of his body at that time, and wanted to reproduce the state of withstanding external forces but not breaking the work, and still gaining momentum.

It's actually a more difficult path, but at least it works.

Pei Ye did not wait for tomorrow, because this realization requires a quiet environment even more.

At this time, in the dead of night, Zhang Junxue had already left the martial arts, only the stars were shining and the wind was blowing, and the bright moon was in the distance. Pei Ye stood still with his sword, slowly mobilizing his body, trying to return to that time.

When his breathing was completely calm, Pei Li's arm was lightly extended, and he used to [spread his wings] again, trying to find that flawless moment.

It didn't work out.

Pei Ye was not discouraged, and he spent the whole day trying to get through the road designed by others, and later suspected that it was blocked; Although he is walking the path of sheep's intestines, it really exists in his body, and he is sure that he can reach the realm.

It's another attempt to calm down again and again, and it tries again and again. But unlike just now, Pei Li gradually felt that the realm he was pursuing was real, and it left traces in his body.

It is not the realm of "Cicada Sword", but the realm of "sword" is rising.

Pei Ye didn't know when he had closed his eyes, chasing it in the flow of muscle strength and true qi, and so on for an unknown number of times, until he collected his sword again and returned to the stand

Pei Ye really felt sleepiness welling up.

There is indeed no rest today.

Pei Ye stopped his movements, planning to deal with it under this tree for one night.

However, as soon as he opened his eyes and turned around, a cyan figure was leaning quietly against the door, and he didn't know how long he had been looking.

Pei Ye was slightly startled, and when he recognized it, it was the Cui Yu descendant Li Yiqing in the morning.

Seeing Pei Ye looking over, Li Yiqing was also slightly startled, his body bounced up from the door wall, and he stood up and bowed with his fists: "Ah! I'm so sorry! Seeing you practicing swordsmanship at night, I forgot to avoid it for a while. ”

Pei Ye was stunned: "Oh, it's okay." ”

Li Yiqing raised his knees and crossed the threshold, stepped forward, hugged his fists again, turned his head and said curiously: "Is the young man from the martial arts hall?" ”

Pei Ye found that there were two temperaments in this girl, one was the sense of reliability when she said calmly and forcefully in the early morning, "The Cuiyu Sword Gate will always be", and there was a leader-like charm. The other is when she laughs with the female master, and now when she looks at Pei Li's sword with her eyes glazed, the girl's aura is almost overflowing.

Pei Li looked at the girl who came to her, in fact, her age was indeed not very large.

It should be said that it is the only two peers that Pei Li met after leaving Fenghuai.

"I'm a student of the Longmen class, and I saw Miss Li playing a sword in the morning."

"Huh?" Li Yiqing's eyes widened, "I'm sorry! I'm so clumsy! ”

"It's okay, I'm sitting in the back." Pei Li said, "Isn't Miss Li resting yet?" ”

"I have just finished practicing swords, dare to ask the name of the young man?"

"My name is Pei Li."

"Oh! Pei Shaoxia is lucky. Li Yiqing's eyes were like bright stars, "I don't know. What is the name of the swordsmanship that the young man has just practiced? ”

"Cicada Sword, what's wrong?"

"Cicada Sword." Li Yiqing slowly chewed the name a few times, pursed her lips and said, "Can you. How many times are you lucky enough to watch the young man? ”

She looked up at Pei Li, her eyes were full of hope, and the small wings in the corners of her eyes were a little shining under the moon.

Pei Ye pondered for a moment: "No." ”

β€œ.” The eye makeup doesn't seem to shine much anymore.

"Because Miss Li, you are too powerful." Pei Li explained with some embarrassment, "I think it should be the realm of five lives?" ”

"Yes."

"That's it, if I match you in the martial arts, I must go all out." Pei Ye said seriously, "The Cicada Bird Sword is my most powerful swordsmanship, if it is revealed to you, I will have another chance to win." ”

"Oh! I'm sorry, but I was too presumptuous. The girl remembered her rival and apologized.

In fact, she subconsciously never regarded these students in the Longmen class as opponents, and asking and showing "Jade Shadow" at this time came from this somewhat proud mentality.

But I didn't want one of them to be such an opponent.

For a while, he actually felt a little bad for showing the "Jade Shadow" in front of him.

"Hmm. If there were other times, I would be willing to communicate with Miss Li. Pei Li said, "But this is the first time I have participated in an official martial arts competition, and I want to get a higher ranking as high as possible." ”

Li Yiqing nodded again and again to express his understanding, since he was an opponent at the same level, it was naturally inconvenient to reveal it, and apologized again: "It was me who was presumptuous." Is Shaoxia also in the realm of five lives? - I really forgive me for my short-sightedness, and I have never heard of the great name. ”

"No, I'm two-life."

β€œ.”

"I'm two lives." Pei Ye repeated, "But I was born three times before Wu Bi. ”

"Okay." Li Yiqing smiled politely.

"Then, don't disturb the young man's sword practice."

Pei Li was just about to nod, but suddenly remembered the girl's calm swordsmanship in the early morning, and suddenly felt a little reluctant, and said in a deep voice:

"Miss Li."

"Huh?"

"Dare to ask if 'Jade Shadow' is your most powerful swordsmanship?"

"You're a bit presumptuous with that."

"I'm sorry, I thought. Because the Cicada Sword is my most powerful swordsmanship, if Miss Li is willing to exchange and show your most powerful swordsmanship. That can be regarded as a level in the martial arts competition, and we can also enjoy the joy of talking about swords. ”

Li Yiqing's eyes lit up.

"How?" This time it was Pei Ye's turn to look at her hopefully.

Li Yiqing hesitated for a long time, but in the end, he nodded a little unresisted the temptation: "That's good."

She was really deeply impressed by the amazing kendo temperament that the boy had just revealed, so she leaned against the door and watched it for a long time so that she forgot the etiquette, and when the boy said that they were opponents, she didn't feel wrong at all.

- Such a sword, of course, is a dangerous opponent in martial arts.

The first level of attraction was the sword move in the boy's hand, the sword gave her a very subtle feeling, which made her itch a little unbearable, and she always wanted to use the next sword for the boy - obviously she didn't know what the next sword was.

The second layer is the sword realm of the boy himself, of course she recognizes the clumsy realm, and she herself is in the clumsy realm, but she has never seen the state of calming her body and climbing towards a certain mysterious realm at the same time.

The attraction to her from what the boy had just shown was actually much greater than the temptation of the "Jade Shadow" in her hand.

"Are we gentlemen's agreements?" The girl hesitated a little and said, "You want to exchange the strongest swordsmanship with each other?" ”

Pei Ye nodded.

"Okay." The girl took a deep breath, "The 'Jade Shadow' in the early morning is my initiative to show, so I won't count it." That's really not my strongest sword, my strongest is the four-style 'Yellow Emerald'. ”

"Mine is the Cicada Sword."

"But I'm just a rough talker, and I'm far from saying 'yes.'" Li Yiqing said.

"I'm only a little over halfway there."

"Okay, but," Li Yiqing said with some caution, "I can't show it to you directly. Could we have started with a more secure approach? ”

"What?"

"Well, the sword moves that the young man learned just now made me feel a little disturbed, so I wanted to take a look at it again, I don't know what the young man thinks if he wants to talk to me about the sword?"

"I think the jade shadow made by the girl in the early morning also touched me a little, or rather, I want to see the sword of your Emerald Feather Sword Gate." Pei Ye said honestly.

"That'll be fine." Li Yiqing nodded, "I don't want to hide it, I don't want to show this sword easily, can we first use the 'finger on the sword' way to learn, if you do have gains, then discuss in depth; ”

The approach sounds good, but

"What is 'Finger on the Sword', Miss Li?"

"Huh? You haven't played it? ”

"I didn't."

"That's it." Li Yiqing stretched out a hand and opened his five fingers in front of Pei Li, "'The hand is the heart, the five fingers are like the five limbs', the swordsmanship that our body has practiced can be reflected in another way on the hand, but it does not lose the original rhyme." This is a common game in our sword cultivation room, and it is also a way to learn without presumptuousness. ”

"Hmm." Pei Ye nodded repeatedly, "This is really good." ”

"So, you don't know how to play?" Li Yiqing was a little disappointed.

"I can learn."

"How can it be so fast, the hand must also have a familiar process in order to guide the swordsmanship in the body." The girl smiled helplessly.

"It's okay, I'm a fast learner, you teach me."

"Okay then." The girl thought about how to complete this exchange in a different way, and her hand had already taken off a small copper bar from her waist.

Pei Ye looked at it, but it was a small sword.

Look at the appearance of this sword.

"You see, this is the first form of the 'Jade Shadow'." The girl suddenly flipped her fingers, turned a beautiful flower pattern on her fingers, and then hooked the hilt of the sword on her tail finger, and the small sword crossed a fluttering arc and returned to the palm of her hand.

Pei Li's eyes lit up, this action was indeed not much similar to the jade shadow he saw in the early morning, but the feeling was almost the same.

"Can you teach me?"

The girl took another small wooden sword from her waist and handed it to him: "Actually, there is no trick, after you play it with your hands perfectly, what swordsmanship you want to use, you can take it out of shape, and you can come out of your hand." ”

Pei Ye took over this wooden sword, this sword is an ordinary style, but the sword grid is removed, and it is smoother. The wood is harder than expected, and it must have iron bars embedded in it.

According to the girl, there are two conditions to play this game, one is to be very proficient in the hand-to-hand movement of the little sword, and the other is to be very proficient in the swordsmanship that he knows physically and mentally.

In this way, it can be used from the body to the hands, and no one else can help with this process of transformation.

It can be seen that this game actually has a threshold that is not too high, but it is by no means low, and it has to be a connoisseur who is familiar with swords to not play, no wonder it is a game unique to sword cultivators.

"You're familiar with it a little more." Li Yiqing flipped the bronze sword strip in his hand dazzlingly, "When you are very proficient, you can try to use swordsmanship to enter it - this sword bar will be given to you, you can turn around more when you are fine, you have a good foundation, and it should be no problem in ten days and a half months." ”

Pei Ye looked at the girl's flipped fingers, lowered his head, and the wooden sword strip slowly rotated in his hand, gradually and quickly, about a dozen breaths, Pei Li's movements stopped, and a straight and light, three-luck sword stabbed out from between his fingers.

"This is the first type of the Cicada Sparrow Sword [Breaking Ground]." The boy laughed.
