Chapter 16: The Years in the Mountains

Except for morning classes, Changning spent most of his time hiding in his small courtyard to silently consolidate his realm.

Stepping into the realm of one step is equivalent to passing the so-called enlightenment of a cultivator, and he already has the qualifications to go to the Sword Pavilion to select his favorite Taoist scriptures for reference. In the Sword Pavilion, it is the people who choose the Taoist scriptures, and the Taoist classics who choose the heirs. Some Taoist canons are extremely active, and almost every few years they will sense new disciples and leave behind the inheritance, while some Taoist canons have always been silent, I don't know if they have not been able to wait for the successor who agrees, or they are still angry about the defeat of the year.

Zong Wuliang also left two sword intents back then. One guarded the top floor of the Sword Pavilion, and the sword intent in the building was subdued. This sword intent is not for inheritance, but as the last sword of the Sword Shrine Protector Sect, with the Sword Shrine Mountain Protection Sword Formation, the power can be called ten straight steps.

Over the years, this sword intent has been sleeping on the top floor of the Sword Pavilion, and occasionally there are disciples who climb to the top to admire, and even some people have tried to understand the sword from it, but all of them have found nothing.

The other one has been simplified and has become the basic sword technique that every disciple must learn at the beginning, that is, the river tracing sword technique demonstrated by Zhan Lu. At first glance, the meaning of this set of sword tricks is extremely simple, and one thousand and twenty-four words can be recited once read through, and one step can be practiced according to the rules, and at most two or three steps away, the inner meaning can be comprehended. It seems that it is only the lowest grade of the Dao canon, but whenever the cultivation reaches certain key nodes, the disciples of the Sword Shrine can always get different understandings from this set of basic sword techniques, which is confirmed by their own gains, and can often help to open up the joints and go further.

The reason why the disciples of the Sword Shrine have the confidence to receive the world's sword recipes and Taoist scriptures is that they only use these sword recipes as an auxiliary and try to break out of their own ways all the time, and they rely on this river tracing sword technique.

Changning's biggest experience is naturally this sword trick.

Walking like a dragon out of the water, quiet as a pine standing, thunder breaks through the sky when attacking, and punctuality is as solid as a rock.

The sword moves are not complicated, and there are few swings, but they are hooked, wiped, pointed, picked, chopped, split, and stabbed in a number of basic sword styles. As the saying goes, there are many swordsmanship in the world, and the thousands of changes when facing the enemy are all derived from these basic sword styles.

What's even more mysterious is that when a set of swordsmanship is completed and re-deduced, Fang Cai's sword intent does not stop, but is further added to the moves of this deduction, layer upon layer, like a big river flowing endlessly, stacking waves and waves, and the momentum attracted by Changning imitating the rhythm of Zhan Lu when swinging the forging hammer that day, the same ancestry and origin.

The disciples of the sword mound fought against the enemy, and because of the amazing killing power of the sword cultivator, they usually knew three or five moves. But if someone thinks about dragging out these three or five moves and slowly trying to figure it out, then they will be hit by the layers of sword intent that follows and completely doubt their lives.

With Changning's current cultivation, the Dao power will be consumed when the river tracing sword technique is deduced to the third time, and at the same time, the Dao power counterattack will also make Changning's muscles and bones sore, and the sword in his hand will become heavier and heavier.

Between swallowing and spitting, the sword intent tempers the spiritual will, and also tempers the skin, flesh, muscles and bones.

One step of forging skin, two steps of pure bones, three steps of washing the marrow, step by step, and then you can shed the shell, enter the realm, and become an immortal.

However, Changning didn't think so far at the moment, mainly following the wishes of his parents, and everything was based on physical fitness.

However, despite thinking so, Changning's cultivation was not sloppy at all. The coursework assigned by Uncle Zhan Lu can be called harsh, but not once did he not complete it wholeheartedly and seriously, as long as he has free time, he almost does not rest, just repeats the boring practice of deduction, meditation, deduction, meditation over and over again, even the group of sword maniacs who are obsessed with kendo have to sigh and admire.

This is also one of the reasons why he is very young and has only been in the door for a short time, but he is extremely favored by other disciples in the door.

From time to time, the elder brothers and sisters of the forging hall who entered the hall early came to visit this junior brother who was the last to enter, and they would always carry the snacks they bought from nearby towns after returning from the inspection. Although the water of the river is turbid, it is extremely sweet after clarification, and it is particularly fragrant to boil tea or cook rice. The towns along the river are famous for their sweets.

Changning didn't have any return gifts, but he learned good dishes from his mother, which can always attract people's appetites. Every time the brothers and sisters bring snacks over, they will always bring some extra ingredients, and Changning is happy to cook and cook to entertain their classmates. At this time, Changning was stirring in the temporarily separated kitchen, and the small courtyard was full of aroma and laughter, so it was not lively.

If there is a regret, it is only on the wine brought back by Brother Vigu.

The senior brothers drank together, and occasionally Senior Sister Lu and Senior Sister Chi also joined in together.

When Changning was at home, his mother was very strict, and even his father didn't necessarily have wine to drink, let alone him. Although he doesn't mix wine, but watching the senior brothers swallow the sun and the moon, after all, he is still a teenager, how can he not be curious, stretch out his hand to beg for wine and want to taste what it tastes like, but he will always be scolded by Senior Sister Chi with a smile, "What kind of wine do children drink", so that even Senior Brother Tao, who is the earliest beginner here, is not easy to abduct Changning to drink.
