"No, that's how I came, but it took a little longer." Shang Yun said, flipped the sword book to the middle and back parts, and handed it to Ming Qitian, "Please see this style from the sword master, I have been stuck here for more than a month, and I want to see how the sword master solves this move." ”

"Where's this sign?" After reading it, Ming Qitian still pondered for a while, then looked up and asked-it didn't take longer than just now.

"Stuck on the sword theory. In fact, even its sword intent has been understood, but I really can't figure it out-" Shang Yunning stepped forward and pointed to two sentences and said, "If you can't understand this sword principle, this style of sword can't be used." Master Ming, I've read thirteen sword classics these days, and even dabbled in history and mythology, but I still can't find a foothold here-"

"It's not a matter of reading."

"Huh?"

"You can learn this trick, but you can't do it like that. I don't have to understand this sword theory. The woman's eyes moved away from the book, looked at the slightly stunned man in front of her, and said, "If you can understand it, you can understand it first, and if you can learn what it looks like, you can learn it first, and then use this imperfect sword, use it more and look back at it, and after a long time, you will learn." ”

Shang Yunning's brown eyes fell on Ming Qitian's face, as if he was not very focused, and his mouth opened slightly with a slit - it was a slightly dazed expression.

"That's not what the sword lord said earlier. Solution, analysis, and understanding? Shang Yunning frowned slightly, "Master Ming, aren't we talking about 'learning'?" How did you get to 'use'? ”

This confusion is not difficult to understand, it is probably similar to taking a rare word to ask the teacher to write the meaning, but the teacher looks at it and says, you go and copy it first, and then use it to write an article.

For a while, he thought that this wise sword master was also confused.

"Because you can only learn by 'using'." Ming Qi Heavenly Dao.

"Why?" Shang Yunning was slightly stunned, for more than ten years, he had only completed the stage of "learning" after he had thoroughly understood and mastered a sword inside and out, which had almost become a forced habit, "Is this sword theory necessary to be realized in practice?" But since it is 'reason', it should be logically clear, if you want to understand it, isn't it 'meaning'? ”

"It's clear. It's just that Xia Worm is talking about ice, and I can't tell you about it. The woman's voice was calm, and everyone knew that the parable was not offensive.

"Oh" Shang Yunning nodded, "It turns out that it's a matter of knowledge, so which classics do I want to read-"

"It's not a matter of knowledge."

"Huh?"

"It's a matter of kendo talent."

“.”

It's a question of kendo talent.

The field was silent, only the clouds drifted lightly.

When this sentence is said to Shang Yunning, there is always a strange amusement, but if it comes out of Ming Qitian's mouth.

"Oh." The first to react was me, Shang Yunning nodded, and didn't seem to be affected too much, "Then I'll practice according to what the sword master said." ”

"Well, or. You can also try to continue 'learning', but don't think about reasoning in the book anymore, pick up the sword, practice a few more times, maybe the inspiration will come, and it will be opened. ”

"Emmanuel." Shang Yunning, who had been quietly and steadily advancing his sword path, was obviously not very interested in this method, "It would be too wasteful to hope for this indefinite thing, and even if there is a flash of inspiration today, this sword is fortunate to be met, what about the next move." ”

Ming Qitian bowed slightly: "That's right, normally speaking, the sword dismantling theory is the right way, but if the frequency of the spiritual light is high enough, it is also a way." ”

“.” Shang Yunning once again showed a slightly puzzled expression.

"It's just that there is indeed such a way to learn swords."

At this point, this round of sword questioning should have ended, but before Shang Yunning left the field, he couldn't help but ask one last question: "Ming Sword Master, is a person's kendo talent completely congenitally fixed?" ”

Ming Qitian tilted his head and smiled: "This is the problem of knowledge - Yun Lang has a "Three Thousand People Sword Fu Theory", which was given to Xianrentai to publish the world, and it was also sent to Xilong Dao for exhibition and reading twenty years ago, and your faction should have copied it." ”

Shang Yunning was a little surprised.

"According to this "Fu Commentary", this is not the case." Ming Qitian replied seriously, "A person's talent is not determined at birth, the growth process from childhood to adulthood is actually the process of talent formation, and teaching can affect its formation to a considerable extent." It's just that birth does almost determine the upper limit of the 'finished product'. ”

"Oh, I grew up in the Tianshan Mountains, and I started listening to swords at the age of three, which is probably the upper limit."

"Not really." The woman said, "The senior who wrote the "Fu Theory" said in the article that in fact, the change of talent is throughout the life of the swordsman. ”

"Oh?" This man's voice was not from Shang Yunning, but from outside the clouds.

Many of the disciples who were listening were also reviewing their "knowledge," and when they heard this voice, they all let go of their hearts.

- 'It turns out that the Lord of the Leaf Pond has not read it either'

"Just like before it was formed, even when you are dying, learning a sword can still improve a person's kendo talent." The woman said slowly, "This improvement is very small and negligible, but it does exist, and it can make people break through the 'upper limit' that was determined at birth. ”

"In other words, if I learn the Mu Wang Sword, my talent will become even better?"

"In theory, that's so." The woman said, "This senior said that the quantity and quality of practicing swordsmanship are equally important to affect the degree of talent improvement, but Shang Fuyu estimates that it is difficult to feel this benefit, because it is written in the article that the better the talent, the less effective it will be - I have also learned some swordsmanship in the past few years, and I don't feel that the talent is better." This should be a window for the less talented. ”

"But in fact, if the talent is poor, it will be slow to learn swords, and it will be difficult to learn superior swordsmanship, and the talent will not be improved."

"That's right, so the world hasn't discovered this mechanism for a long time."

At this point, the first round of sword questioning was completely over, Yuding let out a clear sound again, Shang Yunning hugged the sword and saluted, and went down.

Today is the first day of the arrival of the sword master, Tianshan is extremely courteous, and Ming Qitian is also dedicated to teaching, it is the time to discuss the Tao and exchange its joy, and wait for tomorrow's salty pond meeting, it is inevitable that there will be more disputes between the superior and the inferior.

At this time, a disciple washed the sword for Ming Qitian with Tianchi water, and the second round was about to begin. Everyone eagerly looked at the white clothes in the field, looking forward to becoming the next one.

However, at this time, a shout sounded from the sidelines.

"Ming Sword Master!" Gu Yun waved the envelope in his hand, "I have a letter from you!" ”

Letter?

This sentence attracted more eyes than Ming Qitian's question just now. The disciples of the Tianshan Mountains also often receive letters from outside, family members or friends, but if you associate this common way of transmitting news with the Ming Sword Master, there seems to be a sense of disconnection.

I always feel that if the Sword Monarch wants to talk to his disciple, it is just a matter of opening his mouth, and if this letter doesn't come from the Sword Monarch Ming Sword Master, does it have other interactions?

But Gu Yun's armrest was indeed a letter, soft yellow paper, a little dirty, and a few lines of handwriting on the cover. He walked towards the field, and everyone's eyes followed him to Ming Qitian's face, and he saw that the sword master also showed some doubts.

Gu Yunfu first glanced at the expression of the woman in front of him, saluted and handed over the letter, and said with a smile: "I took it from the messenger on the way, and because I saw that she knew about the sword, I made it convenient for me to take it upon myself." ”

In fact, although the matter of asking the sword is not for outsiders, it is not a secret, for example, the sword Nanzong where Ming Qitian has just left, there are many disciples who know where this sword master is going next.

Because he was worried that the person who wrote the letter was inexplicable, Gu Yunfu first cleared the relationship.

Ming Qitian thanked him and took the envelope to look at it. The three columns of ink characters on the cover, Gu Yunfu, were about to memorize it, and as the sword master looked at it, they were:

"Tianshan Mountain Gate"

"Miss Ming personally opened (please submit it on behalf of the master of the Ming sword when the master of the sword comes to ask for the sword)"

"Pei Li"

When his eyes fell on this name, Gu Yunfu saw that the sword master's eyebrows were slightly raised, and his doubts disappeared.

Gu Yunfu thought that she was going to put it away first, but when she saw that the woman tore the envelope directly, she read the letter here.

This is a question at the sword meeting.

Does the name mean something in a hurry? Why do you send it so urgently?

Gu Yunfu turned his mind and looked at it with his hand, but the expression on the woman's face did not change, the letter was very short, she read it quickly, and then took out the pen and paper, and began to reply.

It turned out to be handwritten.

The disciples had some doubts on their faces—had the little jade sword of Yunlang Mountain run out?

Gu Yunfu had already stretched out his hand, intending to help the sword master go down the mountain to send it, but when he saw that the woman quickly finished writing, she stopped writing, took out a small sword, folded the letter and tied it.

Gu Yun withdrew his hand silently.

That makes a lot more sense. But it's still a little weird.

And no matter what thoughts were turning in everyone's minds, Ming Qitian didn't pay attention, she got the letter and immediately opened it because she was worried that something was going on - although Liuli didn't react; I replied immediately because I had no time to do today; As for handwriting, the woman's idea is actually simpler - since she doesn't know many words, it never hurts to read and write more.

After tying it, the woman flicked her fingers and watched the little sword turn into a streamer of light and go straight to the sky.

——

East Pond.

When Gu Yunfu strode into the pavilion, Chu Xiao was sitting in front of the desk, frowning and pondering on the two pieces of paper.

This middle-aged man who was in charge of the chores of the Tianshan Mountains had a melancholy face, and in Gu Yunfu's memory, he never lowered his brows, his body seemed to be busy, and his brain seemed to be thinking forever.

"Lord Chu Chi." Gu Yunfu bowed his hand and took out the letter, "Disciple Shenjing came back from his resignation, and on the way, Senior Brother Yunsheng passed a book from Bowang and asked me to bring this letter from the post station. ”

"It's Yunfu, what is the scenery of Shenjing?" Chu Xiao didn't move, continued to look at the two pages in his hand, and said slowly.

"Look at the Tianshan Mountains. It's really a backwood. ”

"Hahaha, if that's the case, why do you want to resign."

"It's not my peace of mind."

Chu Xiao shook his head with a smile, finished reading the contents of the case paper during the chat, and stretched out his hand to say, "Take it and take a look." ”

Gu Yunfu handed over the white envelope that had been opened.

Chu Xiao unfolded the letterhead.

"Lord Chu Chi, Senior Brother Gu, respectfully,

Yunsheng has left Xilong Road since chasing this line, and it has been more than a month. As said, since then, to the east, it is far away from the shadow of the sword, washed the blood light, and entered the Shaolong Road, since the enemy has not encountered once.

It can be seen that this young man is indeed a dispensable line, and the enemy also thinks that it is difficult to chase and useless, so there is no need to waste energy.

However, the lost eastern harvest of Sangyu, this line finally stopped in Bowangzhou City, but it was not for nothing - here, there is also a soul pearl. ”

Chu Xiao raised his eyebrows and continued to look.

"On the night of August 13, I was chasing the trail outside the town of Yishan, and suddenly there was a smell of blood in the forest.

The murderer must have been trying to destroy the corpse, but I interrupted him.

There are two reasons for me to confirm the origin of the murderer: first, the deceased's eyes are unfocused, and his mind is incomplete, which is the work of the Soul Snatcher; Second, as soon as I leaned over in front of the corpse, a fire rose out of thin air, which was the true qi technique of the Happy Death Building.

The fire was supposed to burn the eyes of the deceased, but it was unsuccessful.

At this point, there are two things to consider:

First, why did the matter of Xilong spread for thousands of miles, and traces appeared in this small state.

Second, Hushan Jianmen lives between the mirror cedar mountains, why is there a place to escape and settle in this small state.

The above is for the Lord of Chu Chi to decide.

Another thing is what Yunsheng wanted to do in Bowang at this time - after investigation, the deceased's name was Cheng Jianghong, although I didn't recognize it, but it turned out to be a disciple of Tianshan two months ago. ”

Reading this, Chu Xiao raised his eyebrows again.

"Does the pool owner recognize this person?" Gu Yunfu case.

"Well, the handyman came up, he has a good mind and talent, and he is a late bloomer. It's a pity that I am determined to be in the career, and before leaving, I passed him a style of "Eight Horse Sword". ”

"Learned?"

"Got it."

Chu Xiao didn't look up and continued to read the letter.

"Lord Chu Chi said that Tianshan has wanted to enter Shaolong many times but couldn't, isn't this exactly the name sent to him?

When they met that night, the murderer was also Qisheng, and the disciple wanted to capture and kill this person, seize the magic weapon, and then ask the mountain gate to send an envoy here, inspect the Huan Death Building, and wash the revenge into the junior brother. ”

"Yunsheng always has a lot of ideas in this regard." Gu Yunfu said with a smile.

"It's a good thing, I thought about mentioning him as a deputy - it's a pity that although Yunsheng can take charge on his own, his cultivation is still poor." Chu Xiao said, continue to look.

The following is for Gu Yunfu.

"Senior Brother Gu, I suddenly met that person that night, and since I know his identity, he must have guessed about me, so I thought I would simply unveil the flag of 'Tianshan'.

Therefore, I asked you to come to the post station to take this letter openly and honestly.

The first is to reconfirm the identity of the murderer here, and the second is to check the deployment of his forces. In short, those startled 'snakes' on the road were handed over to the senior brother and the mountain gate to catch, whether they were investigated, how many ambushes, when and where, how many people were there, etc., should be carefully recorded, and reported to the master of Chuchi, you can take a peek at the leopard and launch something.

Don't worry about me, although my identity is revealed, my whereabouts will not be revealed, not to mention that even if he can find me, I can deal with a seven-life person.

Disciple, junior brother, Lu Yunsheng respectfully. ”

Chu Xiao closed the letter paper and groaned.
