Volume 1 The Worldly Rivers and Lakes Chapter 54 Pointing to the Swordsmanship
The old Taoist priest and the Lie Immortal Ascension Diagram are indistinguishable from each other, and he is the soul of this Immortal Ascension Diagram magic weapon. Li Qingxuan was shocked, looking at the old Taoist's gaze, which was slightly different, and he had mixed feelings, and then he was stunned. But the only thing that remains constant is the meaning of gratitude and respect. "It doesn't matter to you where I'm coming from, and you don't have to worry about it. The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "But you have been practicing recently, do you have any questions?" Li Qingxuan nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said: "In the past few days, the younger generations have practiced the exercises, figured out the exercises, and there are still many difficult doubts to solve, and I have to bother the seniors to solve my doubts. ”
The old Taoist priest nodded and said, "You say it one by one, I'll listen, and then explain it to you." Li Qingxuan said the doubts in his heart one by one, and the old Taoist priest listened quietly and explained from time to time. The old Taoist priest is mysterious and unpredictable, and his cultivation is unfathomable, so in the face of Li Qingxuan, a junior who has not yet started his cultivation, there is naturally no obstacle. Although there were only a few words, all the doubts that Li Qingxuan had had been in the past few days were dispelled. "Anything, being taught by the Master, and groping for it alone is indeed a bit far from it. ”
Li Qingxuan secretly said in his heart: "I have been troubled by these problems for many days, if there is no explanation from this senior, I don't know what year and month I will be troubled, but I am afraid that it will affect the future cultivation of the Great Dao." "A problem can be as short as a few days, as long as it is counted in years and months, and even a lifetime of hardship is afraid. "With the elders answering questions and answering doubts, the cultivation can run without hindrance, saving countless mental effort and time. ”
"It's no wonder that among the rivers and lakes, the disciples of the sect are better than the idle rangers, and the same must be true for those who cultivate the Dao. Not only are there the benefits of elders teaching and solving doubts and guiding the path of cultivation in practice, but also the sect has a profound heritage. The wealth and the law are very sufficient, and having a teacher as a backer is really far beyond the people who are scattered cultivators. The ancients said: 'Those who have not heard the Tao are in the law, and those who have heard the Tao are in wealth.' 'My own innate root apparatus is good, and the true Dao method has also begun to enter the path, as for wealth, couples, and land, it should be the most important thing in the future. ”
Thinking like this, Li Qingxuan couldn't help but think of Master Zhang Laodao again, and sighed secretly: "In the past, Master was groping alone, trapped in the Qi cultivation realm for decades, and it was precisely because there was no one to guide him that he couldn't find a way forward in his cultivation. If I meet this senior like this, how can Master regret it for the rest of his life?" After a while, Li Qingxuan's doubts in his heart were fully resolved, and his mouth suddenly opened. But there was another secret thing in his heart. It's about Jin Dan and Jian Maru, these two things have a lot to do with each other.
Jin Dan made his cultivation progress very fast, and there was still a little essence in it that was difficult to dissolve, which was unpredictable. And the sword pill is the means of the sword immortal, Li Qingxuan thought about his future means of facing the enemy on the road of cultivation, and he was afraid that he would have to rely on the sword pill. When he went to Chang'an, he asked for a jade sword, but these two things came from extraordinary backgrounds and were mysterious, and he couldn't make up his mind in his heart. According to his observations in the past few days, this old Taoist priest is a moral gentleman who can be trusted.
After Li Qingxuan thought about it carefully, he took out the silver paper of Jin Dan and the true chapter of Kendo enlightenment and asked the old Taoist priest for advice. At this moment, I heard the old Taoist priest say: "Generally speaking, most of the methods of cultivators can only be used in the realm above Kanli. But if you practice qi cultivation like you, you already have true qi in your body, and your strength is far superior to that of ordinary people, so I don't know if you have the means to defend yourself?" "I see that you have strong muscles and bones, and there are traces of practicing standing pile skills between walking, although you do not carry weapons, but you seem to have learned self-defense skills, and I see your arms swinging, which is quite meaningful. ”
"Have you ever learned any martial arts?" The old Taoist priest had a very high eyesight, and he could see the clues at a glance. He was interrupted by the old Taoist priest like this, so he had to suppress the matter of Jin Dan and Jian Pill first. He pondered for a moment and replied, "The junior once learned the martial arts kung fu of the Mortal Qingcheng Sect from the master and his old man. Later, I practiced a style of swordsmanship, first chopping incense, and then chopping soybeans, this type of swordsmanship was not taught by my master, but I learned it from a secret book. ”
"Oh?" This time, the old Taoist priest was very surprised, and said: "It is said that there are people in the world who tie some heavy objects to their legs and do not remove them for several years. Your method of practicing swordsmanship is like a way to hone basic martial arts among secular martial arts, but if it is only like this, it should only be regarded as practicing basic skills, and in the end, I am afraid that you will only practice one hand. ”
Li Qingxuan nodded and said: "That's right, although the younger generation has learned mortal martial arts, they are not afraid of mortal martial artists. If it is against the cultivators, it will be a little overwhelming. The old Taoist priest frowned and said: "That's right, mortal martial arts are really not enough to see cultivators, if you meet a changeable character, you will suffer." "The seniors said it very well. Li Qingxuan said bitterly: "The younger generation originally wanted to learn some cultivators' spells to defend themselves, but now that they have shrunk into inches and palm thunder, they can defend themselves, but they don't understand the means of sword immortals, and they are indeed a little regretful." ”
The old Taoist priest pondered for a moment and said, "If it's convenient, why don't you use it?" Li Qingxuan looked left and right, and said apologetically: "There is no sword in your hand, it is difficult to use it, please don't blame sir." "It's okay. The old Taoist priest waved his hand slightly, bent down, and drew a rectangle with four fingers wide and three feet long on the bluestone on the side, and then it was a beat. It was after this shot that he grabbed his hand on the bluestone and lifted a bluestone block four fingers wide and three feet long. The old Taoist priest shook the bluestone blocks, and the outer part fell off one after another, leaving only a three-foot long sword, and the whole body was bluestone. Li Qingxuan was very surprised when he watched it from the sidelines.
The old Taoist priest was able to condense a stone sword in this way, as if there was a stone sword hidden in the bluestone. Although he was a little surprised, he quickly came back to his senses, took the long sword, and only felt that it was extremely handful, and the hilt of the sword was extremely close to the palm of his hand, and the grip was excellent. He shook it and praised, "What a good sword!" "You come to attack me." When the old Taoist priest heard him say this, he was also interested, and then slapped it with a palm.
This palm seems simple and ordinary, but Li Qingxuan's complexion changed slightly, and he felt that his breath was suffocated, and the light flashed in front of him, and this palm was already slapped in front of him. He didn't have any extra thoughts in his heart, he just waved the stone sword forward, just like he usually chops fragrant soybeans, and his heart was calm. This sword is not muddy and watery, but it has an inexplicable charm. Although this sword is very wonderful, he is only practicing qi cultivation, and his power is naturally not earth-shattering, just ordinary. But in the eyes of the old Taoist, this sword was completely different.
The old Taoist priest's pupils shrank slightly, his expression was solemn, and he slashed down into the old Taoist's palm with a sword. The stone sword was broken in two, and the old Taoist priest was unharmed. The old Taoist priest sighed: "What an extraordinary swordsmanship. "In fact, this sword is not very powerful, and it can be easily broken. But with his vision, he has already seen through a deeper level. When he reached the level of an old Taoist priest, his vision was extremely high, and what he saw was no longer the surface, but all things in heaven and earth, as well as the origin of Taoism.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this sword is simple and ordinary. But in his eyes, this sword didn't carry the slightest breath, but it split the void and cut through the air, as if it wanted to cut all things in heaven and earth. Although this sword seemed to be powerless, he knew in his heart that if Li Qingxuan cultivated to his level, he would definitely be able to cut through the void, cut all things, and break through the heavens and ten thousand laws. Li Qingxuan looked at the old Taoist priest and looked forward to his evaluation.
"This style of swordsmanship is somewhat similar to the way of the talisman. The old Taoist priest said with a smile: "This sword seems to coincide with a certain trajectory between heaven and earth, but it has an inexplicable charm, and its power is also a few points higher." If a cultivator with the same True Qi cultivation fights you with a sword, and the two swords fight each other, you will inevitably win. The old Taoist priest pondered the charm of the previous sword, and said to himself: "This sword is in line with the trajectory of heaven and earth, and there is some taste of the finishing touch." Li Qingxuan listened to his high evaluation, and was a little overjoyed, but when he heard this, he asked suspiciously: "The finishing touch?"
"There is such a sentence in your master's notebook, which can explain your sword in detail. The old Taoist priest stroked his beard and said, "The shouting above the wasteland is loud and loud from afar, and the cry in the snow-capped mountains will cause landslides and cracks." "The charm of your sword is like a cry in a snowy mountain, which can cause landslides and cracks. The old Taoist priest praised: "In the future, when you cultivate to a high level, there will be snow-capped mountains everywhere between heaven and earth, and this sword is the cry that caused the landslide and the earth to crack." ”
"Heaven and earth are full of snow-capped mountains, and a sword is just like a roar in the snow. The old Taoist priest said: "This sword path is unknown, it is really a big voice, and the elephant is invisible." Li Qingxuan was pleasantly surprised, and her mood was difficult to calm down. At this moment, he only thinks about the true chapter of kendo. The true chapter of kendo is already so unfathomable, so what about the true kendo?
"If you have patience, just practice this sword, and don't learn the rest of the sword moves, lest what you have learned be mixed up, and you will lose the charm of this sword. The old Taoist priest said: "Daoist Zhang has a unique eye, he can see through the essence of many cultivations, and he must also see through the changes in your sword. Did he tell you not to learn the rest of the sword moves?" Li Qingxuan was even more shocked this time, and nodded and said, "Master, he used to give such instructions. ”
"Zhang Daoren is really a genius, it's a pity that the time is not good, otherwise the immortals are hopeful, it's a pity. The old Taoist priest was full of regret and said: "Such a genius, if he was born in the blessed land of the cave and knew how to practice since he was a child, he would definitely be able to soar to become an immortal in this life." It's a pity...... "It's a blessed land again?" Li Qingxuan had a guess in his heart. At this time, the old Taoist priest looked up and said, "It's not early, do you still have any questions?" ”
Li Qingxuan pondered for a moment, bowed slightly and said: "Recently, I have often heard Mr. mention the four words of Dongtian Blessed Land, may I ask Sir, Dongtian Blessed Land is the place where the immortals live in the Taoist classics, which is different from the mortal world and becomes another heaven and earth?" ”
"You're mistaken. The old Taoist priest shook his head slightly and said: "Regarding the matter of the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land, it has been inherited for a long time, and I am thinking about how to sort out the words and talk to you in detail." "In ancient times, the human race co-lord Yu ascended the throne as the emperor, Yu divided the world into Kyushu, so that the princes of Kyushu contributed bronze, cast Jiuding, symbolizing Kyushu, the famous mountains and rivers of Kyushu in China, strange things engraved in the body of Jiuding, and Jiuding concentrated in Pingyang, the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty. Later, the heavens and the earth were turbulent......" The old Taoist priest spoke in a flat voice.
