Volume 2 Divine Sword Guardian Chapter 118 The Four Great Sword Codex
After receiving the supplies, there was another benefit that surprised Qi An, that is, the new members of the Divine Sword Guard Reserve Battalion could choose one of the four great schools in the Sword King Mansion for enlightenment.
The so-called four great masters of the Sword King's Mansion are the four kinds of [Heavenly Knife], [Ba Knife], [Magic Knife] and [Ghost Knife], which are famous in Qingzhou and even the entire Daqian Dynasty.
However, Qi An then learned that the original four books were divided into three volumes, upper, middle and lower, and what Qi An could choose to learn was only the upper volume; as for the middle volume, after officially joining the Divine Sword Guard, it could be passed on; and the next volume, except for the disciples of the Liu clan, or close relatives, ordinary people could not see it, but if it was a person who made great contributions to the Divine Sword Guard, it could also be taught by exception.
Many people joined the Divine Sword Guard Reserve Camp, and did not expect to become an official member of the Divine Sword Guard, after all, the number of places is limited, and the real purpose is to come for these four sword magic books, especially those swordsmen who are good at using knives.
"Young man, have you thought about it?Which peerless school are you going to choose for enlightenment?" Old man Yan didn't make a corresponding introduction, just said the names of the four peerless schools, and then squinted at Qi An.
Because the fame of the four great masters of the Sword King Mansion is too great, as long as they are cultivators in Qingzhou, they all have a certain understanding of them, so there is no need to say much at all.
Qi An wanted to read all the four sword canons, but he could only choose one of them, which made Qi An a little entangled and hesitant.
Qi An had seen Murong Qing's [Heavenly Knife] and [Overlord Knife], and had also personally learned Li Changsheng's [Ghost Knife], but only the [Magic Knife] had no chance to see it, so Qi An thought for a while, and then resolutely replied: "I choose [Magic Knife]." ”
"Oh?" Old man Yan seemed to be a little surprised by Qi An's choice, although the four major sword classics have their own strengths, but there is still a big difference in popularity, usually there are more people who choose [Heavenly Knife] and [Overlord Knife], [Ghost Knife] is second, and [Magic Knife] is rarely cared for.
How so?
Because the [Magic Knife] is the most difficult to practice!
Among the four major sword classics, the [Magic Knife] has the heaviest murderous aura, the deepest aura, and those who are not extremely determined are often difficult to control, and one careless will backfire on itself, resulting in a madness.
Not only that, but cultivating the [Magic Knife] often affects one's own character, making it become perverse and violent, cruel and bloodthirsty, and become paranoid and impersonal, so if you are not the kind of person whose personality is extreme, you usually do not choose the [Magic Knife], but choose the other three.
As everyone knows, the four great sword techniques created by the Sword King have their own strengths, the [Heavenly Knife] is majestic and magnificent, the [Overlord Knife] is powerful and unparalleled, the [Magic Knife] is demonic and boundless, and the [Ghost Knife] is fluctuating and changeable, and it is extremely weird.
In other words, the [Heavenly Knife] is the royal way, the [Overlord Knife] is domineering, the [Magic Knife] is the Demon Dao, and the [Ghost Knife] is treacherous.
Everyone will consider according to their own personality and preferences when choosing, only Qi An, regardless of personality or preferences, chose [Magic Knife] only because he had never seen it and was curious.
Although Qi An majored in boxing, but the world's martial arts, the principles are the same, and when you practice to a high depth, it doesn't matter if you are boxing, palming, swordsmanship, swordsmanship, whether it is a gesture or picking flowers and flying leaves, all of them are techniques that can kill people.
"Are you sure you choose the [Magic Knife]?" Old Man Yan asked a rare one more time, because the young man in front of him had a hearty smile and a gentle demeanor, not like the kind of person with an extreme personality.
"Juniors are sure. Qi An replied respectfully.
"Okay, you wait!" Old man Yan threw down a sentence, turned around and went to the back room, and returned after a while, holding a heavy dark red book in his hand, and the four big characters "Magic Knife Scroll" were written on the cover, which was hundreds of pages.
Old man Yan handed the book in his hand to Qi An and advised: "The classics can't be taken away, you can only consult here, and return them to the old man after reading them." ”
Qi An bowed slightly and respectfully took the book.
And Kui Hong saw that Qi An chose the [Magic Knife] for cultivation, his tone became colder, and he said to him impatiently: "You come to me after reading the classics, I usually practice in the barracks, the stone house where I am is is in the southwest corner of the barracks area, it is not difficult to find, most of the stone houses have names engraved on the doors, for easy confirmation, you follow the name on the stone door, you can find it soon." ”
Qi An answered, and Kuihong left, while Old Man Yan ignored the two of them and continued to close his eyes on the rattan chair in the courtyard to recuperate. Qi An found a chair in the room and intently flipped through the classic book of "The Magic Knife Scroll" in his hand.
This is the first time that Qi An has really come into contact with the four great masters of the Sword King's Mansion, although he has received three kinds of [Heavenly Sword] [Overlord Knife] [Ghost Knife] from Murong Qing and Li Changsheng before, but seeing others use it, and watching the classics in person, are completely different things, one is the stealing of the leopard in the tube, and the other is the guidance and teaching of the formal norms, and the effect is thousands of times different.
[Magic Knife], as its name suggests, is a top-level mastery full of magic and frenzied killing, which includes a set of cultivation techniques, a kind of supernatural secret art, and a unique sword technique.
That's right, in the whole "Magic Knife Volume", in addition to the supporting exercises and secret techniques, there is only one knife technique, and the exercises and secret techniques are just for the sake of this knife technique.
If Qi An's knowledge is more extensive, he will understand that among the four great sword techniques created by the Sword King, there are one hundred and eight styles of [Ghost Knife], thirty-six styles of [Heavenly Knife], nine styles of [Overlord Knife], and only three styles of [Magic Knife].
The upper, middle, and lower three volumes, each volume has only one type of knife technique, namely: the Demon Dance, the Shura Demon Prison, and the Demon God Descending.
The "Magic Knife Scroll" that Qi An watched, there was only one move, "Dancing with Demons", and the supporting exercises were called [Magic Knife Heart Method], and the supporting secret technique was called [Soul Eater].
Cultivating the [Demon Sword Heart Method] can convert the true qi in the body into demonic qi, and demonic qi is actually a type of true qi, but the attribute is very unique, and it does not belong to any kind of natural elemental attribute, and its characteristic is that it can disturb people's minds.
Demonic qi is a very rare kind of alien true qi, through long-term cultivation, demonic qi will also be like true qi, more and more condensed and majestic, and at this time it is more dangerous, because demonic qi can not only affect the minds of others, but also affect one's own mind, so the deeper the cultivation of the [Demon Sword Mental Method], the more dangerous it is, if it is not for the perseverance far beyond ordinary people, it is likely to be unable to escape the invasion of demonic qi, which will affect the temperament, cruelty and murder, and at worst, go insane and fall into madness.
This is also an important reason why the cultivators of the [Demon Knife] are extremely rare.
[Soul Eater] is also quite peculiar, it is both a combat secret technique and a cultivation secret technique, and it consumes very little when casting.
During the battle, the [Soul Eater] can quietly absorb the opponent's fear and increase the power of its own demonic energy, and after the battle, the [Soul Eater] can also absorb the spiritual resentment of the deceased when the soul is scattered, so as to supplement the consumption of demonic energy, and even directly improve the demonic qi cultivation, but this will make the demonic qi mixed with the resentment and will of others, causing the demonic qi to become mixed and impure, and the risk of demonic energy invading the brain is greatly increased. Cultivation is steady, so few people do this, and most of them use [Soul Devouring Technique] to replenish the loss of demonic qi and improve the ability to fight for a long time.
Finally finished reading the entire "Magic Knife Volume", Qi An exhaled a long breath, and secretly admired in his heart: It is worthy of the mastery created by the Sword King, it is unique, and it is a different way, just the first volume, it is much more clever than those supernatural powers included in the library of the Backing Mountain Branch, just like the difference between cloud and mud!
Most of the martial arts and techniques announced by the Qianqing Academy are relatively common, and they are naturally not very clever, and the truly powerful supernatural powers are all the secret inheritances of various sects and sects, and they will not be shown easily.
There are also levels of martial arts, which are determined by the highest realm that they can cultivate, such as the body refining exercise [King Kong is not bad], at most it can only be cultivated to the peak of the condensation realm, then it is the condensation realm exercise;
But what Qi An has obtained so far is only the [Magic Knife] upper volume, if there is no middle volume and the second volume, he can only cultivate until the early stage of the God Refining Realm, once he is promoted to the God Refining Realm, he must find a way to get the [Demon Knife] middle volume, so that he can continue to cultivate and improve.
[Magic Knife] is different from ordinary cultivation exercises or martial arts, it has both mental formulas, a style of martial arts, and even a secret technique that is specially used together, and it is difficult to classify it as one of the categories of exercises, martial arts, and secret arts.
Like this kind of wide-ranging and relatively comprehensive secret canon, they are all extremely high-level superb learning, such as the [Seven Absolute Sword Techniques], but Qi An only obtained the cultivation method from his father's mouth, but none of the specific martial arts moves and corresponding supporting secret techniques were known.
Similarly, the [Seven Absolute Sword Technique] that Qi An knows is also incomplete, only the first half, at most you can cultivate to the Rongyuan Realm, if you want to continue to improve with the [Seven Absolute Sword Technique], you must go to Zhongzhou and find a way to worship the Seven Absolute Sword Gate to become its disciple, so as to obtain the follow-up inheritance.
Cultivation cannot ascend to the sky in one step, it can only be gradual and slowly accumulated, things that are too far away do not need to be entangled for the time being, the most important thing at present is to learn the [Magic Knife] to roll up, patiently cultivate to the peak of condensation, and strive to turn from the reserve camp to a regular and become a real divine sword guard.
