Chapter 16: The Theory of Sword Intent
Sword intent is something that is mysterious and mysterious, and it does exist, and it will have a huge impact on the combat power of kendo monks. Well, the latter is the real reason why the monks are concerned about it.
The modern martial arts cultivation system is a product of the great revival of martial arts six thousand years ago, but the sword intent is ancient, and its history can even be traced back to before the Great Destruction.
There have been attempts to fundamentally integrate the two systems from the basics, but they have failed. Because they found that the two ways of martial arts cultivation were completely different, and there was no possibility of integration at all.
Modern martial arts practice is based on weapons, but the sword intent in ancient times did not have too many requirements for the weapon itself, and some kendo masters could even hold branches as swords.
This is an extremely inconceivable thing in the eyes of modern monks. How can a twig be a sword? Well, even if it could, what was the point of that kind of sword? Can it be transformed into a twig spirit?
However, with the gradual development of martial arts practice, the similarities between the two ways of practice have gradually been discovered. People are starting to find that although the starting point is completely different, the end point of the two is getting closer and closer!
After reaching the Yuanying realm, the Purple Mansion could already withstand the pressure of the sword spirit leaving the body. And once the sword spirit separated from the body merged with the sword, people were surprised to find that the sword spirit at this time turned out to be a spiritual sword intent.
Different means to the same end!
"The principle of the road is as complex as it is simple, do you understand?" Lingxu Zhenren still looked at Chu He with a smile on his face.
Chu He shook his head honestly.
At this time, it was already half a month later, Chu He enjoyed his "most difficult time", set foot on the Golden Bird Peak for the first time, and met his future master, Lingxu Zhenren.
The apprenticeship ceremony is not very complicated, or it is not the same as in the Qianyang Martial Sect, and most people advocate simplicity. After bowing to the ancestor and meeting several other Jindan real people, Lingxu real people took him to his cave mansion.
After that, he had the above theory, which systematically explained the sword intent and its relationship with modern kendo practice, and told Chu He that he must understand the sword intent well.
Although Chu He couldn't quite understand Lingxu Zhenren's tirade, he could also understand his good intentions.
The other party knew that he had learned the knife before, and the monk who made the knife was not so particular, let alone the sword intent, so he was afraid that he would form a mindset and not take the sword intent seriously, and he would suffer a big loss in the future.
I have to say that Lingxu Zhenren's words made Chu He's impression of him a lot better. Although he had another purpose in accepting himself as an apprentice, the responsibility of a master did not fall behind in the slightest.
If...... It's better without those three people.
Chu He looked at his side a little speechlessly, there were three young people standing there, two men and one woman, who were the other three disciples of Lingxu Zhenren.
Lingxu Zhenren's voice slowly fell, but the three of them still maintained a fascinated look on their faces. With Chu He's acumen, he could naturally see that the three of them were not pretending or deliberately currying favor with Lingxu Zhenren, but were completely immersed in it from the heart.
This made Chu He quite distressed. Although he realized the sword intent of the early sun, it was formed by long-term practice, as well as the cheating indoctrination of the sword codex, and the opportunity of good luck.
As a traverser, Chu He still didn't know anything about the cultivation system on the mainland, let alone a more detailed kendo cultivation theory.
It was only at this time that Chu He understood that the characters in the novel, who were like game guides, were indeed an indispensable step for the protagonist to tell the protagonist about how this world was going as soon as they appeared......
It's a pity that reality is not a novel, and Chu He can't just ask Jin Dan what is going on with him, he can only go through the classics in the sect by himself.
However, those ancient classics are obscure, not to mention, and there is no such thing as a "practice encyclopedia", and it is still a fool's dream to quickly understand what practice is.
All in all, Chu He is at a loss, and he is a loss from being uneducated. The first lesson that Lingxu Zhenren gave him, he failed to comprehend the essence, but let those senior brothers take advantage of him.
This situation once annoyed Chu He, the reason was very simple, among the three fellow disciples, the only woman was Xu Wanqing, who had a close relationship with him, but had just turned her face.
While vowing to make up for those common sense things, Chu He took a deep breath and told Lingxu Zhenren that he understood. Anyway, I can't understand the back, but I can't cheapen Xu Wanqing's woman for nothing.
No matter what Chu He thinks, after all, he is playing a person who has just been "designed" by the other party, and can even be said to be abandoned, and he must behave stingy.
Chu He secretly glanced at Xu Wanqing, but found that she was also staring at herself, and her expression was a little unnatural. Seeing Chu He coming, Xu Wanqing hurriedly avoided her gaze.
Lingxu Zhenren naturally noticed the small movements of the two, and also knew the grievances between the two, so he could only sigh secretly and end the lecture.
"That's all for today. The smile on Lingxu Zhenren's face remained unchanged, and he casually ordered, "Wanqing, take your Senior Brother Chu down and find a cave to live in." ”
Xu Wanqing's expression froze, but she secretly complained in her heart.
She knew that Shizun was a good intention, and hoped that she would have a good talk with Chu He to resolve the misunderstanding between the two. However, after all, she did something wrong, but if she wanted to apologize to Chu Hedao, it was ......
Just when Xu Wanqing was entangled in her heart, Chu He had already spoken directly.
"No need. This matter is just a servant girl who doesn't know the way of the sword, so why bother Senior Sister Xu?"
As soon as Chu He's voice fell, Xu Wanqing's face suddenly sank. At first glance, there was nothing wrong with this, but when Chu He spoke, he deliberately emphasized the words "no kendo".
The most basic criterion is to incarnate a sword spirit or initially comprehend the sword intent, and if one of the two can be achieved, then the way of the sword can be expected.
It's a pity that Xu Wanqing hasn't been able to incarnate a sword spirit yet, and because of her experience when she was young, she hasn't yet comprehended the sword intent.
Chu He was scolding her around the corner.
Hearing the filthy words in Chu He's words, it was naturally not only Xu Wanqing, but also Lingxu Zhenren and the two senior brothers. So one of the strong men's face sank, and he was about to speak.
But the other tugged at his sleeve and shook his head slightly. The strong man frowned, glanced at the silent Lingxu real person again, and finally did not speak.
Of course, Chu He noticed the movements of the two, but he just smiled and didn't react.
According to the information provided by Lin Yuxiao, he had already guessed the identities of the two. The strong man who wants to speak should be Zhuang Zheng, the eldest disciple of Lingxu Zhenren, and the other is Xiao Yunhan, the second disciple.
Ignoring the reactions of the two, Chu He continued to look at Xu Wanqing, who was "insulted" by himself.
Although he wanted to watch Xu Wanqing's jokes, Chu He didn't do that in the end. According to the original character of Fourth Young Master Chu, he wanted to create an image of a straight man and hide his true thoughts.
There are many smart people in this world, but smart people can also make mistakes, and Chu He certainly hopes that his opponent will be confused. And the most contemptuous of smart people is not stupid people, but stupid people who are stronger than them.
Too many smart people are pretentious, and when they see a stunned person cultivating to a high level, what they notice is often not the other party's cultivation, but the other party's stunned.
Xu Wanqing is like this at this time. Although she felt a little guilty in her heart, it didn't mean that she would look at Chu He arrogantly, she had long been accustomed to the fawning of Fourth Young Master Chu.
She didn't have time to think about why Chu He would change from the original bad words to the sharp-tongued and even mean-spirited now.
Speaking of which, this is also a flaw in Chu He, after all, personality itself is difficult to disguise. But few people can perceive it except those who know him well.
At least Xu Wanqing didn't.
"Although Wanqing's qualifications are dull, she has not been able to achieve enlightenment so far, and she is worthy of the teachings of her master, but she is better than some people who don't know what the sword intent is. ”
Chu He smiled, he went around in a big circle to set Xu Wanqing, isn't that what he said?
"Senior Sister Xu has been at the peak for two months, right?" Chu He suddenly reversed his previous arrogance and said with a smile.
Xu Wanqing couldn't figure out what he wanted to do for a while, but she didn't want to weaken her momentum, so she nodded and said, "Yes, it's been two months and eleven days." ”
The smile on Chu He's face suddenly closed, and he said lightly: "Within two months, someone in Chu will definitely understand a sword intent, and then he won't be a person who doesn't know the way of the sword, what does Senior Sister think?"
As soon as the words fell, Zhuang Zheng on the side finally couldn't help it, and he couldn't care about Xiao Yunhan's persuasion, so he spoke with a calm face.
"Senior Brother Chu, you have to think about it carefully. As soon as the sword intent is said to be ethereal, no one dares to say how long it will take to understand the sword intent. ”
At first glance, this may sound like an admonition, but when combined with his tone, it gives people a sense of encouragement.
Chu He glanced at him indifferently, knowing that the other party was not used to seeing himself "bullying" Xu Wanqing, and his attitude was too arrogant. Zhuang Zheng is a well-known kind-hearted person, but being kind-hearted does not mean having no temper, especially when he encounters a "wonderful" like Chu He.
However, Chu He couldn't care about it so much, and wanted to take out the early yang sword intent openly, this was the best opportunity.
Under normal circumstances, the Chuyang Sword Technique was not a high-level sword technique, and it was not something that the Lingxu True Person could know, so he had no reason to learn this sword technique.
And the limited space in the sword canon, it would be a pity for him to really give up the sword soul that had been formed, as well as a sword technique that had been formed in the beginning of the sword intent.
Only when there is a time limit, can he shirk his unwillingness to waste time, give up the Chuyang Sword Technique that he has been practicing for half a month, and switch to the sword technique of the Spirit Void True Man.
Speaking of which, this time I have to slap Xu Wanqing in the face again. Thinking that every time he is in trouble, he has to design this childhood sweetheart, Chu He is also embarrassed......
"Senior brother, don't worry, if Chu can't do it, he will come to the door in person and apologize to Senior Sister Xu. Chu He didn't want to really turn his face with the senior brother, so he bowed his hand slightly.
"Who is rare about your apologies!" Hearing Chu He's unhurried words, Xu Wanqing finally couldn't suppress the anger in her heart, snorted coldly, and blurted out.
After saying that, she didn't care about the existence of Lingxu Zhenren and the two senior brothers, and left directly in anger.
Chu He was stunned for a moment, smiled noncommittally, and also said goodbye to the three of them, and walked out of the cave mansion of the Lingxu real person.
