"Remember, if you don't practice knives, you will end up empty. Learning martial arts is a delicate job, and sword skills and exercises must go hand in hand, otherwise no matter how good your sword talent is, if you don't have a set of top skills, it will be difficult to achieve success in the future. ”

In the humble cave, two people, one big and one small, stand opposite each other. Yan Xingguan took a copy of the "Knife Technique" that he had just written silently and the ink had not yet dried, and handed it to Meng Li while solemnly reminding him.

Meng Li's scribbled handwriting and ridiculous drawings turned out to be "The Complete Book of Sword Techniques", and asked Yan Xingguan, who had a serious face: "The exercises practiced by the master must be the ultimate exercises!"

Yan Xingguan said proudly: "The exercises I practice are naturally not bad, you just entered the martial arts today, and many things are not known, in fact, this sword method and exercises also have a supporting saying, such as the Ming Emperor Sword Sutra cultivated for the teacher, which is a combination of knife and exercises." Once it is extremely powerful, it is only slightly inferior to the Nine Divine Skills. ”

"Nine Divine Skills?" Meng Li was still a novice in the rivers and lakes at this time, and he had never heard of the nine divine skills and the eight major sects that were almost well-known.

Yan Xingguan waved his hand and said: "The common sense on the rivers and lakes, I will tell you slowly after being a teacher, and what we have to do now is to find a suitable exercise for you." ”

"Aren't you learning Master's exercises?" Meng Li wondered.

Yan Xingguan said: "My Ming Emperor Sword Sutra is the most rigid and yang exercise, and it is very domineering, with your weak bloodline now, you can't learn this root." ”

Meng Li's current situation is like a cracked ball, the greater the pressure, the higher the chance of bursting.

Hearing that he couldn't learn the Ming Emperor's Sword Sutra, Meng Li felt a little regretful, but he was quickly relieved.

"It doesn't matter, if the master can't learn the exercises, then learn other exercises, anyway, the top exercises are not only one of the Ming Emperor Sword Sutras. ”

"But that's all I have for the top exercises here. Yan Xingguan looked at Meng Li with both eyes, his eyes a little embarrassed.

Meng Li was stunned and said, "But Master, didn't you say that there are a lot of supreme sword techniques?"

"You also said that it is a knife technique, not a gongfu. Seeing Meng Li's increasingly speechless expression, Yan Xingguan shrugged, as if to say that it was not his fault.

"I ......" Meng Li, who wanted to cry without tears, hurriedly adjusted his mentality and said with a forced smile: "It's okay, anyway, there is still a top sword study." ”

Yan Xingguan touched his nose and said weakly in a mosquito-like voice: "You can't learn that!"

The short seven words fell on Meng Li's ears, but they were like lightning strikes.

"Why!" He asked desperately, this was different from what they had said before, why was it different! He looked at the other party with a suspicious gaze, and hesitated: "This top sword technique, you can't also only know the Ming Emperor Sword Scripture, right?"

"Fart! There are a lot of top sword techniques for the teacher's association!" How could Yan Xingguan, who had an excellent face, endure Meng Li's eyes, and argued: "In this world, there is no strongest sword technique, only the most suitable sword technique for yourself." The so-called top knife technique is all very subtle knife technique, if there is not enough understanding and accumulation of knife technique, how can it be displayed? Just like a child dancing a knife, even the knife can't dance, and it seems to be able to exert the power of the knife?

Meng Li didn't know why his master was called the Great Desert Swordsman. It is because after walking in the desert for many years, he has created a top knife technique with the meaning of wind and sand, this knife method is out, the wind and sand are all over the sky, pervasive, and the power is three points more powerful than other top knife techniques, the reason for this situation is because this knife method is created by him, which is most in line with his habit of using knives.

Meng Li held up the ordinary "Encyclopedia of Sword Techniques", and said with a sad face: "So I can only learn this?"

This "Encyclopedia of Knife Techniques" records just some of the most plain knife techniques, or chopping or chopping, straight and straight, without any variations at all, which is simpler than the "Integrated Knife Technique" that he often watches.

Yan Xingguan tapped lightly on his head and scolded: "What do you know, the simpler the knife technique, the more you have to experience it with your heart, and the tall buildings have to rise from the ground, don't you know such a simple truth?"

The real knife masters, after reaching a certain realm, do not stick to the profundity of the knife technique. Among the many masters of the rivers and lakes that Yan Xingguan knows, there is a master of making knives, who has been practicing flat knives for 20 years, and the simplest knife technique is handed out, and there is almost no difference between the top knife technique. If you practice the knife technique to this point, you can be regarded as practicing at home.

Meng Wei sighed secretly, but he also knew that his master was right, and the tall buildings rose from the ground, and now he didn't even take the first step, so he thought that he would be at the top of the mountain, and he would have a glimpse of the style of the highest apex in the world, which was indeed a bit of a fool's dream.

"Then Master, what kind of exercises should apprentices learn?" Maybe it was really because Yan Xing was well-informed, and what he said inadvertently made Meng Li suddenly realize, and unconsciously, his senses for his master had completely changed, not only admiring but also being convinced.

Yan Xingguan said: "When choosing exercises, of course, we must also focus on suitability. To be honest, with your current situation, you won't be able to learn the slightly better exercises, because the faster the exercises can stimulate the true qi, the greater the damage to your bloodline, and you won't be able to live for a few years. ”

"Master, I'm too miserable, right!" Meng Li wanted to cry without tears, if the good exercises were not learned, then he could only learn the bad ones, even if this was the case, how could cultivation be guaranteed?

"It's okay! It's okay!" Yan Xingguan waved his hand and said easily: "There is no way to be endless, but I know a technique that can just solve your current embarrassment." ”

"What kind of exercises, how powerful is it?" Meng Li said impatiently.

Yan Xingguan said: "A very simple exercise, the speed of cultivation is extremely fast, as for the power...... It depends on your creation. ”

For some reason, when he said this, Meng Li actually noticed a strange look on his face.

"Extremely simple exercises, Master, you're not cheating me, are you?"

Yan Xingguan snorted lightly and said, "If you don't say that you kid is ignorant, there are thousands of exercises in this world, and it is inevitable that there will be some special exercises." For example, the exercises I intend to teach you are easy to use, quick to achieve, extremely malleable, and compatible with all exercises. ”

Hearing that there was still hope for improvement, Meng Li breathed a sigh of relief and said with relief: "Since this is the case, then I will learn this exercise." By the way, Master, what is the name of this simple and easy-to-use exercise? If it is a domineering name, then it is the best, and it can be said in the future to be more majestic, just like Master, your Minghuang Sword Sutra, it sounds very powerful. ”

Yan Xingguan, who was poked in the itchy spot, patted Meng Li's shoulder and laughed, "It's still my apprentice who has vision! ”

"Yes, I know. Meng Li himself was also very excited, and asked with a smile: "So what is the name of this exercise that Master wants to pass on to me?"

Yan Xingguan's expression was straight, and he said solemnly: "Because this exercise is simple and easy to learn, it has the word 'simple', and the speed of entering the country by practicing this exercise is far faster than that of ordinary exercises, so that cultivators do not need to worry about it, and they can be able to climb the realm naturally, so there is also the word 'lazy'." ”

"Simple...... Slack off...... Gong?" Listening to Yan Xingguan's explanation, Meng Li instinctively nodded in agreement, but when he listened to it, he heard that something was wrong.

Simple lazy work, this name, it's really a bit unbelievable!

"That's right, the exercises I want to pass on to you are simple and lazy. ”

"Forgive the apprentice for taking the liberty of asking, was this name chosen by the master?" Seeing his master's teachable smug expression, Meng Li couldn't cry or laugh, this name might as well be a little simpler, just call it lazy work!

Yan Xingguan said proudly: "Although this exercise method was not created by the teacher, this name is indeed taken by the teacher, how is it, is it a profound image?"

"Master, the apprentice has a suggestion, I don't know if I should talk about it!" Seeing Yan Xingguan's complacent look, Meng Xingguan sighed secretly.

Yan Xingguan said vigilantly: "If you want to change the name of this exercise, I advise you not to mention it." ”

Meng Li asked with a hint of luck, "What will happen if you ask?"

Yan Xingguan turned his five fingers into claws, grabbed lightly on the stone wall, like grasping tofu, buckled a piece from above, and rubbed it gently, and the stone turned into powder and slowly flowed down from his fingertips.

"What do you think?" he smiled lightly, his smile revealing an evil intent, living up to the name of the little devil.

Meng Li was frightened by Yan Xingguan's methods, closed his mouth, and became a turtle with a shrunken head.

Yan Xingguan was very satisfied with his performance, laughed, and took out a palm-sized jade from his arms.

"Take it!" he handed the jade bi to Meng Li, his expression complicated.

Meng Li looked at the jade bi in Yan Xingguan's hand, and said shyly: "The apprentice hasn't given the apprentice a gift to the master yet, and the master has given such a precious thing to the apprentice, how can the apprentice have the face to accept it?

"You're thinking too much. Looking at Meng Li, who was ashamed and wanted to refuse to return the favor, Yan Xingguan rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "This jade bi records the simple lazy exercises, which are used for your cultivation. ”

"Oh, that's it, it turned out to be a misunderstanding!" For fear that the other party would change his hexagram, Meng Li hurriedly took the jade bi and carefully examined the simple lazy skills recorded on it.

The small jade bi, but tens of thousands of words are recorded, densely packed together, crowded with the front and back sides of the jade bi.
