The path of cultivation is difficult and bumpy, and the most important thing is to maintain the mind of the practitioner. Once one loses one's mind in the process of cultivation, it is a trivial matter to go mad and fall into the devil's path, and thus fall into the demonic path, which will surely bring disaster to the Pure Land. Therefore, the mind is a barrier that must be held on the path of cultivation.

Ma Yan finally walked out of the school with his sword, and when he passed by Xu Changfeng, he seemed to want to say something to him, but when the words came to his mouth, he stuffed them back.

Even if Xu Changfeng can sit in the same school with him just now, the gap between the two will only get bigger and bigger, and they are not the same person after all.

Ma Yan left, and there was no sound in the empty school, only the sound of the clanging bell of the sword test was faintly heard on the sword training field, which was Xu Changfeng's heart.

Xu Changfeng suddenly felt that someone was looking at him behind him, subconsciously looked back, and exclaimed, "Uncle Shi......"

"Cultivation is a cruel path, your situation is very special, this path will be more difficult for you than anyone else, even if you just want to learn the sword, do you still want to persevere?"

Su Yongqiu stared at Xu Changfeng and asked. He didn't talk about it, looking at the entire prosperous dynasty, there were only a handful of cultivators who could reach the pinnacle, without talent and chance, even if he worked hard all his life, it would be difficult to reach a high-level cultivation!

A glint flashed in the young man's clear eyes, and he said with a determined look: "Yes!"

Su Yongqiu nodded, his face did not change slightly, and he whispered, "You come with me." ”

As he spoke, he took Xu Changfeng around the sword training ground and came to a four-cornered tower, three stories high, and a talisman was pasted on every window on the floor, obviously leaving a prohibition in it. You can only enter through the main entrance, otherwise you will suffer backlash. In front of the tower, a teacher in a dark blue robe was guarded, and a dark blue sword hung behind him

"Senior Su. When the teacher saw Su Yongqiu coming, he greeted respectfully.

"This is a new student, I brought him to practice the Sword Sutra. Su Yongqiu said in a low voice.

When he said this, the blue-robed teacher looked at Xu Changfeng in surprise, but he didn't say much, and opened the door lock fluently.

The tower had clearly been around for some years, and an ancient smell rushed through the door, with a faint scent of books.

Xu Changfeng recalled what Long Yuxin had said before, this should be the library of the Qingzhu Sword Academy.

The two of them walked into the library and the door was closed by Jiaoxi. The first floor of the tower is very large, and there are more than a dozen bookshelves full of books, and there are countless books.

"This is the sword scripture collected by the Qingzhu Sword Academy for many years, and there are also teaching guards on the second floor, and what is stored in it is the cultivation exercises. As for the third floor......"

Su Yongqiu clicked and took Xu Changfeng to browse the sword scriptures on the bookshelf.

Xu Changfeng carefully swept the names of each sword scripture, "Bailan Sword Sutra", "Fire Sword Sutra", "Remnant Snow Sword Sutra", "Turning the Sea Sword Sutra", ......

These sword sutra exercises are all inventory left by the Qingzhu Sword Academy, but they are not casual to come in and comprehend, each student in addition to cultivation and promotion, only five times a year to enter the library to participate in the sword sutra. If you still want to come in, then you can only complete the tasks issued by the academy in exchange for the qualification to enter the pavilion.

"It is very likely that a cultivator will comprehend dozens of sword sutras in his lifetime, but only one or two will he really specialize. As the saying goes, if you are greedy and chew more, it is best to suit yourself. Su Yongqiu explained as he walked.

"Right for you?"

Xu Changfeng didn't quite understand what this uncle meant by what he said.

"Let me first tell you what the path of cultivation is, after all, these sword scriptures were originally created by cultivators. Su Yongqiu said, "At the beginning of cultivation, the aura of heaven and earth is introduced into the meridians around the body to temper the body. When the quantitative changes of the body's refining continue to accumulate and reach the node of qualitative change, the body will change, and this state is also known as the marrow refining body. Therefore, the marrow washing realm is the first level of cultivation. ”

"After the body is cleansed by the aura, the brain, eyesight, perception, and physical strength will be improved to a certain extent, so that the body will have a sharper mind and intelligent intelligence than ordinary people. The Sword Sutra is a special sword book that records sword skills, and each Sword Sutra has a complete system, which can be roughly divided into one to four. ”

"If an ordinary person who has not washed the marrow reads the Sword Sutra, it must be as boring as reading a book from heaven. Because with their spiritual power, they can't comprehend all kinds of complicated sword scriptures. This is also the difference between the Sword Sutra and the ordinary Sword Book. ”

"And with the continuous accumulation of spiritual energy, the physique continues to strengthen to a certain level, and the cultivation can step into the second level, the condensation realm, also known as the condensation of qi and gathering spirits. At this time, the aura introduced by the meridians will be injected from the initial water droplets to water flows. And with the continuous accumulation of aura, there must be a way to guide the operation of aura in the body, and this is the exercise. ”

"There are many types of exercises, and different exercises have different attributes. For example, the practice of 'resisting the wind' practiced by the superintendent Si Mo Stopping the Wind can make him as light as a swallow and walk as the wind. There are also some water-based exercises that make the practitioner stronger on rainy days. Therefore, the exercises practiced should match the sword scriptures, if it is one yin and one yang, the two will conflict, and in serious cases, the practitioner can go mad. In the same way, the sword sutra is also very relevant to the mind of the practitioner. If a cultivator with a strong temperament is allowed to comprehend a sword sutra of feminine power, it will only backfire, and instead of advancing, it will retreat. ”

Hearing Su Yongqiu's overview, Xu Changfeng suddenly woke up, no wonder Wei Changting said that he would give himself a copy of the Superior Sword Sutra, but he couldn't understand it, it turned out to be this truth.

"Uncle Shi, if you haven't washed the marrow, you really can't comprehend the Sword Sutra?" Xu Changfeng hurriedly asked, this was the answer he desperately wanted to know in his heart.

"Not necessarily!" Su Yongqiu shook his head and said, "There are no absolutes, after all, it still depends on personal creation." If the opportunity comes, it will be like sailing along the river to ride the wind and waves. ”

In fact, throughout the thousands of years of history, there are precedents for ordinary people to participate in the Sword Sutra, but the probability is too small.

"I will say hello to Luo Jiaoxi, who is guarding the door, and allow you to consult the Sword Sutra here. Su Yongqiu looked at Xu Changfeng and said, "The sword scriptures here are all prohibited, and you must not take them out of the library pavilion, otherwise you will be counterattacked, and the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"The disciple understands. Xu Changfeng nodded.

"On the way to practice, the most important thing is the mind, and only what suits you is the best. ”

After Su Yongqiu finished speaking, he left the library pavilion, leaving Xu Changfeng alone in the huge library. In fact, there is one thing he doesn't say explicitly. The Sword Sutra is actually divided into the superior Sword Sutra and the ordinary Sword Sutra, both of which are available in the Library, as for which one Xu Changfeng will choose, it really depends on his chance.

Xu Changfeng looked at the sea of books in the sky and didn't know where to start for a while, one bird in hand is better than ten birds in the forest, he decided to take a random book and flip through it first, to find some feeling.

He walked quickly to a bookshelf and carefully removed the book from the Fire Sword Sutra.

Xu Changfeng opened the sword scripture with apprehension, and the first line of the opening chapter reads: Wildfires are inexhaustible, spring breeze blows and grows, those who practice swords should be like the vast grassland, the strong are not afraid, and they are reborn after defeat.

"What a strong man is not afraid!" Xu Changfeng just saw this line of words, and he fell in love with this sword scripture.

He then looked down, and this sword scripture was described in great detail, down to the point where every move, every style, every fractal, and every distraction was clearly described. Only when the god is one, can the sword be broken.

It wasn't until he saw the third page that he began to show a little melancholy, and the further he went, the more difficult it became to understand, the essence of the theory was too cumbersome, and he had already forgotten what he had said before.

It's not that Xu Changfeng is stupid, it's just that every word on the Sword Sutra contains truth, if you don't understand it word by word, how can you advance to the next realm?

The fourfold realm of the Sword Sutra is not just something that can be achieved after reading it.

Xu Changfeng put down the sword scripture in his hand, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little dazzled. The people who can write the Sword Sutra are all cultivators with a certain strength, and the words in it are also deeply full of sword intent, and if you read too much, you will inevitably feel unwell, not to mention that Xu Changfeng is just an ordinary person who has not yet washed the marrow?
