Chapter 115: Gong Jianqiu teaches kendo, and "Qiushui Sword" is in hand
After a few steps, there was a long and narrow stone staircase mountain road in front of me, and there was a stone monument erected next to the mountain road, on which there were two pen strokes showing the edge, as if using the sword to write the big characters: Emei.
Walk up the stone steps to the peak, and an ancient building appears with a plaque that reads: Welcome Hall.
There are also two middle-aged men with swords waiting here at the gate, and after being introduced by Gong Jianqiu, the two are the elders of Emei's outer gate.
Because of the closure of the mountain, the Emei faction still takes the traditional elite route, and there are not many people in the door, so they can specially send Gong Jianqiu and two outer door elders to receive Jiang You, which is already quite important to the young master of Yanluo.
Everyone greeted each other, entered the hall to drink tea, as soon as the tea soup entered, Jiang You felt that the fragrance was overflowing in the mouth, and the lower abdomen had a warm feeling, which should be the spiritual tea planted by the Emei faction itself in the mountains.
The sect stationed in the mountains, although far away from the city, is not conducive to the development and growth, but for the spiritual objects in the mountains and forests, it is considered to be close to the water, just like Yama, it is impossible to take out this precious spiritual tea, Yama has been trying to artificially plant spiritual things, but has not succeeded, until Jiang You brought back a few pieces of spiritual soil, only to open the minds of the planting personnel, spiritual planting is the logistics department this year's focus on the development of the project.
"It seems that I can communicate with the Emei faction in a while, and ask them about their experience in spiritual cultivation."
Jiang You thought in his heart.
At the tea table, the two outer elders were very silent, and Jiang You didn't take the initiative to ask, so they silently added tea to him there.
Jiang You is mainly talking to Gong Jianqiu.
Gong Jianqiu told Jiang You about the arrangements for him from the Emei faction, because the two met, she was responsible for teaching Jiang You's swordsmanship, and at the same time, Gong Jianqiu also made it clear that the core swordsmanship of the Emei faction could not be taught, and could only teach some introductory swordsmanship and understanding and cultivation methods in the way of the sword.
Jiang You didn't have any objection to this, it should have been so, if Emei came up with enthusiasm and took out his own core swordsmanship to teach Jiang You, he would have to wonder if Emei had any thoughts about Yama.
After drinking a pot of tea, the two elders retired, and Jiang You and Gong Jianqiu got up and continued to move forward.
Gong Jianqiu, as the host, introduced the Emei faction to him on the road, the Emei faction has a total of five peaks, the first is the welcome peak here, used to receive visiting guests, and after walking through the welcome peak, it is considered to have officially entered the Emei faction.
The second peak, for the Seeking Peak, is where the outer gate of Emei is located, after Jiang You walked to the Seeking Peak, he saw that the top of this mountain seemed to be flattened by a sword, the top of the mountain was extremely flat, the palace was lined up, there were few disciples inside, the disciples who met along the way were busy with their own things, there were two people in an open space to learn swordsmanship, the body was fluttering, the sword light was shining, and the characteristics of the swordsmanship were light and agile.
Some people sit on the edge of the cliff and cross their knees, breathing and breathing, and there are three or four people around a sword tablet with an axe and a sword, staring cross-legged, as if they are understanding the swordsmanship recorded in the sword tablet.
Gong Jianqiu said: "In the Dao Seeking Peak, there is no teacher, they are all Dao seekers, and only when they find their own sword path can they enter the inner door!" If you can't enter the inner door for three months, you will be cleared! ”
Jiang You couldn't help but smack his tongue, the high threshold of Emei can be seen, and he attaches great importance to the comprehension of his disciples, these disciples who can enter the outer gate are probably already extraordinary, but even so, there should be many disciples who will stumble in the outer gate, stay in Emei for three months, and regret going down the mountain.
After walking through the Seeking Peak, there is a large valley, a large number of spiritual plants are planted in the valley, and there are tea trees on the slopes on both sides, and the spiritual tea that Jiang You drinks comes from here.
Jiang You can take a look, the number of tea trees is very rare, and for Emei, the cultivation of spiritual tea is also extremely difficult, this tea should be very precious, and it is no longer something that money can measure.
There are many people wearing hats on their heads in the valley who are tending to the spirit tree.
"These people are disciples who are also cultivating miscellaneous paths in the inner gate, and they have taken on related tasks."
Emei classified all cultivation paths other than the way of the sword as miscellaneous paths.
After walking out of the valley, I saw a towering mountain in front of me, and the white clouds only floated to the mountainside.
From time to time, there are various colors of sword light flashing in the mountains, it seems that the flying of the sword is no longer a rare thing in the inner gate, and the poor Chiyun Imperial Sword Realm is hard to beg, but in front of the Emei of the Qi Sect, the Imperial Sword Realm, the excellent inner disciple can reach it.
That's the horror of the lineage!
Gong Jianqiu took Jiang You to visit all the way, in addition to the hospitality gift, he also wanted to show off his muscles for Yan Luo through Jiang You's eyes, showing the heritage of the sect, it seems that Emei has the intention of cooperating with Yan Luo.
Jiang You thought in his heart.
"This is where the inner gate is, Sword Peak."
Gong Jianqiu turned his direction at this time, and did not lead Jiang You into the inner gate, this place seems to be the core of Emei, it is inconvenient for guests to visit, and he took Jiang You all the way to the mountain called Tibetan Sword Peak.
On the edge of the cliff at the top of the hill, there is a villa built in a modern style, and a third of the building is directly cantilevered into the cliff, and it is difficult to imagine such a building in the middle of the mountain.
This is the residence where Emei entertained Jiang You, and there was an old man dressed in black standing at the door, who was responsible for Jiang You's daily life, and all the living needs of the old man were just to tell the old man.
At this time, it was not early, and Gong Jianqiu and Jiang You agreed that they would officially start learning kendo at six o'clock tomorrow.
Then he said goodbye to Jiang You and jumped directly from the cliff, and the sword turned into a sword light and flew into the sea of clouds, where he was gone.
The old man took the reins from Jiang You's hand, tied the donkey to the tree outside the door, and then entered the room with Jiang You.
Although the exterior of the building is modern style, the interior decoration is antique and extremely luxurious, and it was specially built by Emei to receive guests with high status.
As soon as Jiang You entered the door, he was attracted by the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, and when he walked to the window, there was a sea of clouds outside the window, and the soft sunset sprinkled into the room, and a round of red sunset sank on the sea of clouds, and a rose-colored sea of clouds churned in the mountain breeze.
The old man saw Jiang You enjoying the beautiful scenery in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, so he moved a wooden case and placed it in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, first placing a white porcelain vase in the upper left corner of the wooden case, and a plum blossom at the mouth of the bottle was particularly delicate in the orange-red sunset.
Then the old man put dinner for Jiang You, the dinner was not very rich, it was all some exquisite dishes that were very well presented, although the amount was not much, but they were all cooked with demon beast meat and spirit plants.
Jiang Youpan sat on the futon in front of the wooden case, smelling the fragrance of flowers, watching the sun sink into the sea of clouds little by little with the passage of time, and tasting the food.
I have to say that although Emei was not very grand when she received Jiang You, the arrangement was still very proper.
After all, in addition to representing himself, Jiang You also represents Yama, and snubbing Jiang You is the same as snubbing Yama, and it is not allowed to be ignored by the top management of Emei.
Jiang You ate very slowly, and when he finished eating and drank the last sip of plum wine, there was already a dark curtain in front of him.
The old man walked up to Jiang You and told him that he wouldn't bother Jiang You, go back to the maid's room first, and when Jiang You had something to order, just press the shouting button on the coffee table in the living room.
The best service staff will keep their presence to a minimum, but he will always be there for you when you need him.
Jiang You first went out to check on the donkey, the donkey was beautifully buried in eating the food in the trough, and Jiang You didn't look up when he came.
When the beast eats, it is very serious, and it will never stop eating unless it is a major incident.
Jiang You kicked the donkey with a smile, "This beast knows how to eat!" ”
Then Jiang You went back to the bedroom, bathed and washed away the dust on the road for the past few days, and then entered his daily cultivation.
After Jiang You refined the Dongwang Stone Tablet, because of the lack of other refining things, Gang Jin's cultivation had to be suspended first, at this time, his main cultivation was Changsheng Qi and spiritual power, these two are the fundamentals of the fundamental, Changsheng Qi repaired the deficit of his body, Jiang You After these few days of cultivation, as well as the recovery of seventy-seven eighty-eight, after tonight, he will be able to fully recover. When the spiritual power refines spiritual objects in the future, it directly determines the speed of one's progress, and the deeper oneself is, the more comfortable he will be in the future.
On the second day, after Jiang You finished collecting purple qi, the old man knew that Jiang You got up early today, and at five o'clock in the morning, when Jiang You had just come out of the bedroom, he had already arranged breakfast.
After Jiang You had breakfast, he boxed on the cliff to move his muscles, Jiang You's boxing at this time was no longer limited to the eight poles, among which Hong Boxing, Tai Chi and the tricks he had seen when he was the enemy were all at his fingertips.
To this is his understanding of the way of yin and yang, as his arm moves, the air around him begins to flow around him, the air begins to become viscous, and in the early morning, the mountains in the mountains are also wrapped around his arms, pulling out long white lines in the swing.
When Jiang You was boxing, Gong Jianqiu had already arrived, and when he saw Jiang You practicing boxing, he didn't bother him, and stood quietly by the side to watch.
Although Gong Jianqiu specializes in swordsmanship, Emei is a big faction, and the vision of his disciples in martial arts is also extremely broad.
At once, it was seen that Jiang You's attainments in boxing were already above the grandmaster, and there was no superiority in his hands, only whether it was appropriate and whether it was appropriate.
That's how it turns decay into magic.
After Jiang You finished practicing a set of boxing techniques, he raised his palm and pressed it, and discharged the cloud qi around him into the sea of clouds, "Let Gong Daoyou wait for a long time!" ”
"It's worth waiting for such a subtle punch to see it."
"Haha, my kendo is far from it, and I'll have to take care of it for a while!"
Jiang You's swordsmanship, Gong Jianqiu had also learned it, a good sword, in his hands is brutal to slash, or to take the domineering road of overwhelming people, the utensils in his hands are swords and a burning stick, and they do not give full play to the characteristics of swords.
However, Jiang You at this time is no longer what it used to be, to teach Jiang You, you also need to know Jiang You's swordsmanship level at this time before you can teach him according to his aptitude, let's take a thorough test first.
"Jiang Daoyou, let's use sword moves to learn one or two, so that I can clearly teach at that level."
"Okay, then it's ugly!"
Jiang You pulled out the Victory Evil Sword from his back, and the Victory Evil Sword had not yet recovered at this time, but there was still no loss to it by simply slashing with the sword body.
Gong Jianqiu also turned her wrist, a blue light flashed, and a blue long sword that exuded ice cold appeared in her hand.
After the two ended, Gong Jianqiu stood for a long time, didn't speak for a long time, was thinking, Jiang You touched his nose, didn't speak, and waited quietly.
I really haven't worked hard in the way of the sword, and it's also my weakness, everyone has their own strengths, and there's nothing to be ashamed of.
Gong Jianqiu finally spoke, "Actually, your martial arts cultivation has reached this point, it shouldn't be like this, in the final analysis, the way of swordsmanship, that is, the way of killing, many of the principles are the same as the fist method, the law of the sword, the heart, the hand, the eye, the step, the god, the rhyme, the force, the gong, the speed, the change, the virtual, the real, the soft, the rigid, the light, the heavy, the late." You can do it very easily, the reason why your swordsmanship has not improved for a long time, I think the problem lies in your concept! ”
Gong Jianqiu is worthy of being a disciple of the Emei faction, and as soon as he makes a move with Jiang You, he can find the most fundamental problem of Jiang You, he doesn't want to be Chiyun, he only knows what is wrong, and he doesn't know why he is wrong.
Jiang You was overjoyed when he heard this, thinking that he had really come to the right place, so he continued to listen to Gong Jianqiu.
"I think that there is a deviation in your understanding of the sword, and you want to use the sword to take the road of domineering, this kind of thinking is actually very common in the previous society, some, in film and television, often make some heavy swords and the like, something more bulky than a spear and halberd, it's simply ridiculous.
The reason why a sword is a sword is because of its lightness, making the sword bigger and heavier, and losing the characteristics of the sword, can it still be added as a sword? ”
"However, for my strength, the weight of the sword will not affect me at all!"
Jiang You had doubts in his heart, and he said it directly.
"This is also the crux of your problem, because you didn't practice kendo at the beginning, you have a certain strength, when you fight the enemy, you will always find the most efficient way, with the strength of the sword, you can naturally win easily, you can win with the sword, after throwing away the sword, you can already win, and it will even be more convenient, the sword in your hand, not help, but become the existence that restricts your strength, and it makes no difference to you if you replace the sword in your hand with anything.
But since you want to practice swordsmanship, you have to give full play to the characteristics that the sword has, and other weapons do not have, start from the most fundamental place, you want to plant peach blossoms, but the seeds are apricot tree seeds, and there will never be a day when the peach blossoms bloom, it is because you carry the sword with strength, ignoring the characteristics of the sword to go light, and fundamentally go the wrong way, and you will always linger at the door of the temple. ”
"That's how it works!"
Jiang You's comprehension is not weak at all, and after Gong Jianqiu's slight mention, he immediately knew his shortcomings.
The reason why he became a monk halfway through the house and practiced swords was entirely because he had the sword of defeating evil and awakened the sword qi of slaying demons, and this also happened to be an obstacle to his cultivation of swordsmanship.
When using the sword, the purpose is to induce the demon slaying sword qi, and the later victory sword has spirituality, Jiang You still uses the old method, simply and rudely using it as a more to promote the demon slaying sword qi, and the carrier of the sword flight is used, and it does not exert its due power at all.
Gong Jianqiu continued: "This can be seen very clearly from your attacks, most of your attacks are to force me to collide with you head-on, and then use your strength to cut off the sword in my hand, or knock it away, so as to achieve victory, this should be influenced by your Baji Fist's domineering, but the sword has never been domineering, it is the way of a big gun, a halberd, and a copper hammer, the sword is light and fast, you have also seen the battle between the two outer disciples on the Seeking Peak before, and their swords rarely collide." , When the aura is not revived, the blade is light and thin, no matter what kind of divine weapon, after the collision, the blade will be damaged, and the sword body is not suitable for collision.
I think the sword in your hand should not be ordinary, this is also the reason why you can swing and slash unscrupulously, anyway, it will not be broken, the most taboo thing about practicing swords is to use divine weapons as soon as you come up, that is, you are afraid of problems like yours. ”
Gong Jianqiu penetrated into Jiang You's analysis, and Jiang You also accepted it with an open mind.
After finding Jiang You's knot, Gong Jianqiu directly gave Jiang You an ordinary Qingfeng sword, and asked him to insert the Victory Sword back into the scabbard, and only use the Qingfeng Sword to fight her.
Jiang You had deliberately avoided his mistakes this time, but when Gong Jianqiu was forced to force him with a sword and put pressure on him, his long-term fighting habits still made him think about shaking him away with a sword.
Jiang You blocked it, and the long sword in his hand was suddenly broken into two.
The two of them don't use any strength to fight, and there is no blessing of yin and yang strength, which is the result.
Gong Jianqiu also turned around and withdrew his hand, giving Jiang You a look, as if to say, look, without the Victory Evil Sword, your fighting style will be difficult to move an inch.
Jiang You also discovered a very serious problem from this, that is, his fighting instincts are a set of extremely mature and efficient fighting methods formed through thousands of tempers.
However, fighting with the correct way of using the sword has a conflict with his original fighting style.
If you forcibly integrate in, you will have a hesitation in the future battle, and this hesitation will be too slow!
Isn't this a collection of sesame seeds and a loss of watermelon?
Jiang You truthfully informed Gong Jianqiu of the problems he found.
After all, Gong Jianqiu is a genius of many years of Changjiang You, and he has been immersed in cultivation for many years, and he has given an unbreakable view of Jiang You's problems, his fighting instinct is really powerful, but it is a good thing to have conflicts, this is the strength that can continue to progress, could it be that Jiang You's current fighting instinct is the most powerful, the most perfect, and the best one?
When Jiang You heard this, he had no obstacles in his heart, and immersed himself in the cultivation of swordsmanship.
Gong Jianqiu directly trained Jiang You in basic sword moves, fundamentally correcting his mistakes step by step.
Being able to let Gong Jianqiu, one of Emei's best disciples, teach this most basic sword move by hand, which shows the weight of Jiang You's letter of recommendation.
Similarly, Gong Jianqiu has cultivated kendo to such an extent, and when he turns back, his understanding of basic sword moves is also extremely thorough, and his teaching of Jiang You is also required by the highest standards.
But Jiang You has the strength of martial arts, and his grasp of his own muscles and strength is also at the level of a grandmaster, and the basic palace Jianqiu said that the last time, the second time he can do it perfectly.
By dusk, Jiang You had already been able to use the Emei introductory swordsmanship that Gong Jianqiu had taught him to the extent that she was beyond reproach.
After that, Gong Jianqiu no longer continued to teach moves, but taught Jiang You his understanding of kendo.
This is what Jiang You values most during this visit.
He listened quietly, and when he encountered doubts, he asked questions directly, and Gong Jianqiu patiently explained them in detail.
In this way, Jiang You's sword path advanced by leaps and bounds in an extremely rapid manner.
"After all, your attainments in boxing are already very high, these things are not difficult for you, so you don't need to deliberately come to Emei to learn swords, what is the fundamental purpose of this time?"
Under the one-day teaching of the famous teacher and apprentice, Jiang You's kendo has already been introduced, and he has reached the state of entering the hall, Gong Jianqiu also knows that with the identity of Jiang You's young master of Yama, it is not difficult for him to obtain this kind of teaching, and this visit should have other purposes.
"I want to know how to practice sword qi!"
"Sure enough!" Gong Jianqiu smiled in his heart, Jiang You came up and asked about the core of Emei's lineage, originally this could not be spread to the outside world, but Emei was able to agree to Jiang You's visit, and there was a certain amount of preparation for this, and he still had to take out some real skills.
"Sword qi is actually cultivated by oneself, a special energy emitted by the sword, and other qi you cultivate in addition to the characteristics, the essence is actually no different, the sword qi cultivated by each person is different according to the method of cultivation, and the refining is not the same, among them, according to the degree of difficulty, there are also high and low, my Emei faction has a total of five instincts to refine the sword qi, but what can be taught to you is only the most ordinary exercises, this is already the limit of what Emei can do, I hope you don't mind!"
Jiang You's purpose in wanting to practice sword qi was to try to see if he could use it to awaken his supernatural powers: demon slaying sword qi, and he didn't care about the quality of being able to practice sword qi.
Gong Jianqiu immediately dictated the exercises, and after Jiang You remembered it in his heart, Gong Jianqiu left in the sunset.
In this way, Emei's teaching to Jiang You can be regarded as completely over, after all, Gong Jianqiu's time is extremely precious, and it is not easy to spare a day, in fact, Emei's requirements for her are only half a day, but because there are several feelings between the two, Gong Jianqiu still taught all day.
The exercise that Gong Jianqiu taught to Jiang You is called "Autumn Water Sword", this exercise has a total of seven layers, and when you cultivate to the seventh layer, you can cultivate the autumn water sword qi.
After Jiang You obtained the exercises, it stands to reason that his purpose in Emei has been achieved and he can leave, but he feels that the scenery of Emei is good, and he is the master of the Sword Dao Qi Sect, and the aura is also strong, so he plans to leave after practicing the sword qi here.
Emei didn't care about Jiang You's practice of living for a long time, after all, it was a large batch, so it would be a small family, and all kinds of treatment were not left behind.
In fact, Jiang You also has a meaning of waiting for Emei to cooperate with Yan Luo, when he entered the mountain before, he noticed this meaning, but Gong Jianqiu did not speak for a long time, if it was placed in the past, Jiang You would definitely feel that he would be wrong, and Emei did not mean this at all, but after he was nurtured by the old foxes of the Fifth Master and the Righteous Path Alliance, he would not think so.
After all, if Emei spoke first, he would fall into a passive situation, and it would be difficult to talk about cooperation after that, they just hinted that they wanted Jiang You to speak, so as to gain a certain right to speak.
Jiang You smiled, anyway, he practiced his sword here, and after practicing his sword qi, Emei still didn't speak, so it seems that the necessity of this kind of cooperation is not very great, and he just withdraws away.
After thinking clearly, Jiang You began to practice the "Autumn Water Sword" for a comfortable time.
