Volume 1 The Orchid of the Mountains Chapter 95 The Sword of the Great River V
On the fifth day of the flash flood, when the turbid river was about to turn clear, the iron sword in Li Ye's hand was finally defeated by the rubble in the flood and broke into two.
At this time, Li Ye could already fight in the torrent for an hour without getting hurt.
The old ape looked at Li Ye, who walked back to the wooden shed with a broken sword, and said with a smile: "After all, this is a sword forged by mortals, and it can't withstand the tempering of this heaven and earth breath." ”
Li Ye looked at the broken sword in his hand, sighed, and muttered, "Then what should I do?
The old ape shook his head, took the broken sword in Li Ye's hand, pondered for a moment, and showed joy on his face. "You've mastered the art of wielding swords in flowing water, and now you don't have to go to the river to practice, it's time to change places and hone your physical body. ”
After speaking, he turned his head and looked in the direction of his cave.
Li Ye was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Senior, don't you want me to go to the cold pool on the edge of your cave to practice? You are a bronze bone and iron arm to withstand the washing of that waterfall, can I withstand it?"
"You haven't tried it, how do you know? Your Broken Void Monk in the cave also practiced there back then, are you scared because of your young age?" the old ape wanted to provoke Li Ye.
"If you want to put more pressure on your physical body, and think about higher achievements in the future, then conquer the cold pool. ”
Li Ye led Xiaobai to follow the old ape, from the shed on the cliff to the waterhole under the waterfall.
Looking at the rushing river, Li Ye became worried, and looked at the old ape with a bitter face: "If the younger generation goes down like this, it is estimated that he will never be able to wade through this cold pool and turbulence!"
The old ape didn't speak, but just opened a pair of old eyes and looked at him quietly.
Xiaobai knew that he didn't have the right to speak, so he roared twice at the pool.
Li Ye spread out his hands, looked at the old ape and said: "The junior's sword has been broken, so I go to the pond empty-handed, I am afraid that a gravel flying down the upstream will kill me." ”
The old ape seemed to have expected him to say this, and did not reply, but with a strong foot, he jumped into the pool with a "bang", and after a while he came out of the water again, carrying a sword-like stone in his hand.
He handed the stone sword in his hand to Li Ye, and said with a smile: "I didn't have a long sword back then, and I was as worried as you, but then I touched this guy in the pool, and I tried it very well, so I kept holding it and practicing for a few years, until I no longer entered the pool to practice, and then put it back in its original place." Now, lend it to you. ”
Li Ye took the stone sword, felt a sinking in his hand, looked at the old ape and said, "I'm afraid that this stone sword weighs forty or fifty pounds, right?"
The old ape smiled: "Almost, this is not what you want, you can use this to practice the sword intent of lifting weights?"
Li Ye nodded and said, "That's exactly what I mean, my husband taught me to learn to practice lifting lightly, firstly because I am thin and weak, and secondly, because I don't have a heavy sword in my hand. ”
"Senior, please go back, I want to try this weightless sword intent alone, and I don't rush down to the pool to practice first. Li Ye hugged his fist towards the old ape.
The old ape looked at Li Ye and nodded, "It's not in a hurry, it's good." I can't guide you in swordsmanship, you need to understand it yourself. All I can tell you is that when I first practiced, I didn't think of it as a sword, I just used it as an object that could split the flow of water. ”
turned around, called Xiaobai to leave the edge of the pool with him, and walked towards the stone cliff where he lived.
Xiao Bai looked back, Li Ye waved his hand to it, and said, "Go find something to eat, leave me alone." ”
He walked to the edge of the pool, sat cross-legged, raised the stone sword in his hand on his head, closed his eyes, and used his divine sense to perceive the river flowing down, and the difference between the heavy sword in his hand and the iron sword before.
Externalize the condensed divine consciousness, carefully experience the fierce water turbulence around you, the gravel sandwiched in the water, the splashing water droplets in the air, and the sand, water, and soil deep in the ground where you sit down, all of which are shrouded by your own divine consciousness.
In his divine sense, he conjured himself to hold a sword like a dragon, the sword light was unleashed in the pool water, and the fierce waterfall was like a swimming dragon rushing around.
His "Phaseless Law Body" protects his body, and the heavy sword in his hand tears the pool with the power of his body, and the random swordsmanship that does not contain any true yuan contains terrifying power.
Li Ye cast it casually for a long time, and even those swimming dragons that were turned into water droplets in the air completely disappeared, leaving only an ordinary stone sword.
The blade of the sword swung more and more unpredictable, sometimes slow, sometimes fast, faster than the rushing water, but as light as a weight.
Cultivators' cultivation is generally to break the pill and turn into a baby, because the spirit of pregnancy and cultivation reaches a high enough level to achieve the divine sense of heaven and earth, the release of divine consciousness, and the unity of heaven and man.
This is only a few cultivators in the Yuan Infant Realm.
Only by achieving the unity of heaven and man can we comprehend the way of heaven, accumulate over time, and finally one day, the heart has an understanding and understands a trace of the meaning of the way of heaven. In this way, this trace of heavenly dao meaning can be turned into sword intent.
When Li Ye was building the foundation, he had already comprehended heaven and earth and gave birth to his own divine consciousness.
He carved scriptures with an iron sword on the stone wall behind the wooden house, then practiced swords with Mu Mu's flying leaves, and fought between life and death with the power of divine consciousness in the fierce torrent.
His life hung in a sword, and under these extreme opportunities, in the special state of his mind completely free, he mastered the sword intent.
A sword intent that belongs only to him.
Retracting the divine consciousness he had released, Li Ye laughed, took off the linen clothes on his body, put away his shoes, held the heavy sword, and walked step by step towards the splashing pool.
With heavy steps, he walked to the middle of the pool, and the rushing river hit his thin body, and with a thud he fell to the ground on the stones in the cold pool, and there was a piercing pain all over his body.
At the moment, the fifth center of gravity method of the "Phaseless Dharma Body" was moved, and the Danyuan True Qi in the dantian ran rapidly in the twelve righteous meridians, protecting the meridians of the whole body, letting go of the divine sense, and swinging the sword towards the flowing water.
The stone sword was blocked by the flow of water, which was much slower than the speed at which he swung it in the torrent with his iron sword, but because of the reaction force of the water flow, the speed of retracting the stone sword was much faster.
Li Ye was stunned, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and at this moment he forgot to comprehend the broken stones and branches entrained by the water, and just kept swinging the stone heavy sword in his hand and slashing towards the turbulence on his head.
Ten ...... 100 times...... A thousand times to cut out the heavy sword in my hand, no matter what is in the turbulence on its head, I only cut out the heavy sword in my hand, one force to break ten thousand laws, one force to reduce ten will, no matter how many troops it is, I only need to cut out a sword, I can break it.
Gradually, he felt that the stone sword in his hand was as heavy as ten thousand catties, getting heavier and heavier, and he could barely hold it, and he wanted to get rid of it.
He finally realized what it means to be extremely heavy and lightweight.
When he was about to give up, the Dantian is Dan Yuan changed slightly, and a new true qi gathered into the meridians, making his arm that was almost unable to hold the heavy sword gain strength.
It turns out that in this turbulent pool of water, the cultivation of the true element in the body has an impact on the dantian meridians...... It is an all-round improvement, especially when he has just broken through to the double of Jindan, and his all-round sense of improvement makes Li Ye immersed in it.
After persevering for nearly half an hour, he finally lost his strength and let the turbulent waterfall rush out of the waterhole and float to the shore of the cold pool.
Got up like a dead dog, lying on the pebbles on the shore with his back to the sky, although the true qi in his body had been completely consumed, his heart could not stop rejoicing.
I think that I used the skill of the broken monk to practice in Fangcun Mountain, and the skill of the old ape to practice in this turbulent pool of water for hundreds of years, and now I am actually in the double realm of the seven-year-old Jindan, and I have resisted tenaciously for half an hour in the turbulence just after this mountain torrent, which is indeed a capital that can be proud.
The old ape standing on the top of the cave looked at Li Ye lying on the edge of the pool, and his heart was also very complicated, he thought that Li Ye would be unable to help but run out after staying for a while, but he didn't expect him to hold on for half an hour.
At that moment, he bowed his body, jumped off the stone cliff, and came to the edge of the pool. Picked up Li Ye lying on the shore with one hand, picked up his clothes and shoes on the ground with the other, and turned his head to walk towards the waterfall.
Xiaobai on the stone cliff was gnawing on the fruit, and when he saw the old ape carrying Li Ye to the mountain, he also ran down the stone platform and ran in the direction of the woods on the mountain.
The old ape carried Li Ye, who was like a dead dog, back to the shed in the woods, and threw it on the deck chair. Looking at him and saying, "I really didn't expect you to be able to hold out for so long, it's a miracle." ”
Li Ye, who was lying on the bamboo chair, changed to a comfortable posture and did not immediately reply to the old ape.
The warm sunlight spilled in obliquely, shining on his iron-clad body.
"Happy today, I want to barbecue a meat to eat, and treat you well. Xiaobai, taking advantage of the good weather, went to catch a pheasant to entertain the seniors. Li Ye turned over so that the sun could reach the other side of his body. "You have to prepare it in advance, marinate it and roast it carefully for you to eat in the evening. ”
Xiaobai roared twice, expressing a strong protest against Li Ye, but he was also a foodie himself, so he shook his head, swayed and jumped out of the shed, and ran towards the slope opposite the mountain stream.
After resting for a long time with his eyes closed, Li Ye barely opened his eyes, looked at the old ape lying on the bamboo chair and said, "It is really not easy to cultivate in this pool of water, and it is ten times more difficult than cultivating in the river." The younger generation is fighting there with their lives, where is what cultivators do. ”
The lying old ape rolled over and turned his back to the sunlight pouring in from outside the shed. "You have the opportunity to practice in this turbulent snow water at such an age, how many people in the world can?"
Li Ye nodded weakly, touched the countless red dots on his body and said: "There are too many gravels in this water, if it weren't for the special exercises practiced by the younger generations, they would have died a long time ago." ”
"Fortunately, by chance, I actually comprehended a trace of sword intent, although I am still only a child, but I have already touched the doorway, and I can continue to practice according to this method in the future. ”
"You actually comprehended the sword intent? How is this possible, how long have you been practicing the sword? You comprehended the sword intent without even conquering this pool of water?" the old ape raised his head, he was stunned.
"You may not believe it, but I was also thinking about conquering the pool of water in this waterfall, but in the midst of the desperate struggle with the river, it suddenly occurred to me why I should conquer it, as long as it can't conquer me. ”
"The gentleness in the river is like the little hands of my family, the coldness in the river is like the seriousness of my husband, and the fierceness in the waterhole is like the Shura of the infernal hell. ”
"It's just that whether it's a gentle stream or a fierce current, in front of me, I only need a sword to cut it off, as long as the sword passes through the stream. ”
"No matter how long I practice and how high my skills are, I will not be able to completely cut off the water of this great river. I just need to cut it off when I want to cut it, this is my sword intent. ”
The sword of the great river that belongs to Li Ye's own, Ruoshui Sword Intent.
The old ape sat up from the bamboo chair suddenly, looked at Li Ye with Ling Li's eyes, and muttered: "How is it possible, I have been thinking about how to conquer the pool under this waterfall all my life, but it can only be conquered for a moment, but it can never be as I want. ”
"It turns out that the problem is here, the so-called conquest is just for me to realize when my heart arrives, so why care if it has always been used by me?
"Hahahaha! I can't imagine that I have worked hard all my life, and I am not as young as Mr. Xiao's comprehension. When it is true that there are before and after entering the Tao, there is no time for enlightenment. Providence! Providence. ”
"To meet Mr. Xiao, it is really a blessing from the old ape's three lives!" the old ape sighed again.
"Having to meet the old gentleman is also a blessing from the cultivation of the younger generation!" Li Ye replied respectfully.
One person and one ape, not a mentor and a friend, but better than a mentor and friend.
Li Ye's fallen leaf swordsmanship has not been able to carve even a single stroke on the falling leaves to this day, but he has comprehended his own sword intent.
Just as he has not entered the Yuan Infant Realm, he has comprehended his own divine consciousness.
