The literature is very diligent, and Zhang Xun has long been put into the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of the Xingwen Academy, so Zhang Xun doesn't have to bother to take care of it. The mundane matter is over, and Zhang Xun's family can cultivate with peace of mind. Zhang Xun and Xinlan, Xiaoxue, Bihe, and Yuchan have no problems in cultivating the inheritance skills of drunken Taoists until now, and they can rest assured that the four children of Zhang Xing, Zhang Qianwen, Zhang Xiuya, and Zhang Ming have embarked on the road of cultivation. After Zhang Xun and the four wives briefly explained some basic knowledge of cultivation to the four children, the family of nine entered the core of the secret realm. First of all, it is natural to let the four children feel the aura, perhaps because the children are young, they are only in their teens, this time only five days have passed, and the four children have completed the introduction of qi into the body, reaching the first level of qi refining. The eldest brother Zhang Xing is a golden fire twin spirit root and can be cultivated as a refiner; the second sister Zhang Qianwen is the earth spirit root; the third sister Zhang Xiuya is quite special, after the aura is introduced into the body, the aura turns into a sword, and it seems that she is going to take the road of sword cultivation; the fourth brother Zhang Ming has activated the special spirit root Lei Linggen, which is quite good, the attack power of thunder is the strongest among all the laws, and it has a natural restraint effect on ghost and evil cultivation.

Zhang Xun said to the four ladies: "Xinlan, Xiaoxue, Bihe, and Yuchan, you take the trouble to choose a child to take with them, so that they can avoid some detours." My husband was distracted by the search for seeds some time ago, and my cultivation has lagged behind you a lot, so I went to retreat to concentrate on cultivation, and first practiced my stunts before leaving the customs. Xin Lan said: "Then I'll take it! I refine the pill and his refining weapon must accurately control the fire, which is more appropriate." Xiaoxue said: "Then I'll take Xiuya! I still have some experience with a sword." Bihe said: "Then I'll take Qianwen with me! The defense of the soil lord is in line with my temperament." Yuchan said: "I don't have to choose, but Ming'er likes my little mother the most, it's okay, I'll take him!" Seeing that his four ladies had been chosen, Zhang Xun nodded and said: "Well! That's it" Then he hugged the four ladies affectionately one by one, and told the children to be obedient and practice hard and went into his own secret room to retreat.

Zhang Xun thought about it for a while, and it was better for him to practice his fists and feet first and then practice weapons for the three stunts. Practice Xiaoyao Boxing in the morning, practice lightning and thunder legs in the afternoon, and wait for these two stunts to be practiced to Xiaocheng, and then start to practice the Flowing Cloud Drifting Rain Sword. The divine sense entered the jade slip with the Xiaoyao Fist written on it, and Zhang Xun began to study this stunt. What is the meaning of carefree? Get rid of the shackles, be self-contained, and send and receive at will. Zhang Xun has practiced Taijiquan for many years, and is very familiar with how to practice boxing. If you are most familiar with Taijiquan, then you will first play Taijiquan out of the artistic conception of five points of leisure, and it is not too late to start practicing the boxing moves of Xiaoyaoquan after getting a glimpse of the door. The lightning and thunder legs pay attention to speed naturally, and there has always been a "martial arts in the world, only fast is not broken." ". If you want to be fast, you can only practice hard, constantly break through your limits, and practice millions of times for each action, until you don't have to think and judge, and your body will subconsciously and naturally make movements, and the speed will be faster. Zhang Xun is a person who does everything he thinks of, which is why Xin Lan gave birth to his first child and named the child Zhang Xing.

There is no time for cultivation, half a year has passed, and Zhang Xun can be said to have forgotten to sleep and eat. When you are hungry, take a pill of Bigudan, and when you are tired, sit cross-legged on the futon to recover a little, and then continue to practice. I don't know how many punches I hit every morning, I don't know how many legs I kicked out in the afternoon, and finally today, the Tai Chi boxing has five points of leisure, and the leg and foot movements whether it is a side kick, an upward kick, a downward pressure, a back kick, a knee hit, a flying kick, a slam kick, a leg sweep, and a chain of legs kicks have achieved the effect of lightning and thunder. Zhang Xun began to practice according to the moves of the stunt itself, and after half a year, Xiaoyao Fist and Lightning Thunder Leg finally practiced to a small level.

It's been a year of retreat, so I'm going out for a breath and seeing how the children are doing. Zhang Xun only saw the three ladies and three children outside, but didn't see Xin Lan and Zhang Xing, thinking about the two of them, one practicing pills and the other practicing weapons, he understood that the two of them must be in the secret room. Xiaoxue, Bihe, and Yuchan saw that their husbands were out of the customs, so they stepped forward and asked, "Husband, are you still cultivating well?" Zhang Xun said: "The two stunts have just been completed, so I came out to see you and the child." Do you know the situation between Xin Lan and Xing'er?" Xiao Xue said: "I know, Xing'er has already started to practice weapons now, and Sister Xin Lan is preparing to practice second-level pills in her alchemy room, planning to break through to the alchemist in one fell swoop." Zhang Xun said: "Now that the children also have the cultivation of the seventh layer of qi refining, you can let them cultivate by themselves, you continue to cultivate your own stunts, and strive to achieve great success." ”

Back in the secret room, Zhang Xun's divine sense entered the jade slip and looked at the sword technique of the Flowing Cloud Drifting Rain Sword. Zhang Xun remembered his perception of the rain when he was living in a leisurely manner, and after comparing it, he understood that the Flowing Cloud Drifting Rain Sword pays attention to the agility of the cloud and the elegance of the rain. The Flowing Cloud Drifting Rain Sword has six moves, two of which are at one level. The first two moves are the changes of the clouds, the middle two moves are the changes of the rain, and the last two moves are the changes of the combination of clouds and rain. There is a progressive relationship between sword moves, and the next move can only be practiced after the previous move can be practiced into three, which means that Zhang Xun can only practice one move at a time. The first move, the cloud and mountain fog cover, Zhang Xun's movements at the beginning looked very dull, knowing that he was still very unfamiliar with the changes in the clouds and the use of sword moves, there was no shortcut, only hard practice. A month later, Zhang Xun's cloud and mountain fog cover had a three-point smart meaning. Zhang Xun was not in a hurry to practice the second move, Yunhai Chaosheng, anyway, he planned to use three years to practice the Liuyun Drifting Rain Sword to Dacheng. , then simply practice the next move after one move, maybe the effect will be better.

Zhang Xun felt that it was better to practice swords in an open space, and his perception of the changes in clouds and rain was far from enough, so he left the secret room. For the next four months, Zhang Xun practiced swords next to the spiritual spring in the core area of the secret realm. In fine weather, Zhang Xun was under the daylight during the day, and at night under the moonlight, while practicing his sword while absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon. When encountering cloudy and rainy weather, Zhang Xun carefully observed the changes of clouds and rain, and once he found it, he immediately waved his sword to verify right and wrong, and whether it was right or wrong, he had to think about it to analyze the reasons and summarize the gains and losses. The sky lives up to the painstaking people, and under Zhang Xun's continuous practice, he is becoming more and more handy with this trick of cloud and mountain fog cover. The agility of the sword moves became deeper and deeper, and finally reached the end of the fifth month of the sword moves.

It is said that Zhang Xun should start practicing the second trick, Yun Hai Chaosheng, but his Virgo's pursuit of perfection complex in his previous life was reflected again at this time. Zhang Xun always felt that he had not brought out the power of this cloud mountain fog cover, and even the agility of the sword move itself was not shown to the extreme. Zhang Xun knew that there was consummation above Dacheng, but he felt that his current Dacheng was still lacking. Zhang Xun pondered for a long time, what was missing? Zhang Xun summed up before the imperial examination that year, and his biggest problem was that there was a large amount of inheritance, but there was no famous teacher to guide him. Wen Dao was like this back then, and now that he has cultivated it, this problem still bothers Zhang Xun. Zhang Xun complained to himself after thinking about it: "If you don't learn swords and guns, you have to learn swords." Zhang Xun laughed loudly, he was so stupid! Yes, he practiced swords, not swords and guns, and in the Flowing Clouds and Rains Sword, he only paid attention to the Flowing Clouds and Rain, but ignored the sword itself. Zhang Xun knew at this moment why he felt that the previous sword move was empty. Either holding a sword in his hand is a swordsman, not to mention the very ethereal and traceless realm of the unity of man and sword, at least you must have a sword in your heart. Zhang Xun knew that his current comprehension of the sword was still far behind, and in the eyes of a real swordsman, he would not be in the stream at all.

Whether it is the agility of the flowing clouds or the elegance of the rain, they are all for the sword in the sword moves. Zhang Xun's five months of hard training ended up just abandoning the basics. The sword, the king of the soldiers, is also the king of the royal road, Zhang Xun is no stranger, but the sword is the king of weapons, does not mean that the royal road is the way of the sword. Don't talk about kendo sword intent, in terms of sword, Zhang Xun is far inferior to his daughter Zhang Xiuya. Zhang Xiuya is a one-of-a-kind natural sword cultivator, and when she induces qi into her body and turns her aura into a sword shape in her body, she already has a clear sword heart.

If you want to have a sword heart, you must aspire to become a sword cultivator. This is not a casual decision, and it will directly affect the direction of the future path of cultivation. Zhang Xun didn't practice for three days and three nights in a row (cultivation is meaningless), so he sat by the spiritual spring and quietly thought about how he should choose. In the end, Zhang Xun decided to take the road of sword cultivation by himself, but ordinary sword cultivation is often either a sword idiot or a sword slave, and the Dao heart is controlled by the sword; Of course, the sword technique and sword moves are mainly sword-based, and the rest is for the sword, but if the path is all around the sword, isn't it a big joke?

Zhang Xun suddenly had a hint of enlightenment and a deeper understanding of the relationship between civil and military. The text carries the road, and the military escorts. If there is no literature without martial arts, no matter how profound the Tao is, it can only be a flower in the moon and water in the mirror; if there is only martial arts and no literature, that is the journey of a reckless man, even if there is a great cause for a thousand years, it is not significant! History has proved that walking on one leg will not work, and the Great Song Dynasty and Mongolia in China in the previous life are the most vivid examples. The culture of the Great Song Dynasty is not prosperous, and the economy is not prosperous, but because Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of the Song Dynasty, released the military power with a cup of wine, and admired literature and suppressed the military, the war of the Song Dynasty never stopped. Which of the Liao, Jin, Western Xia, and Mongolia did not regard the rich Great Song Dynasty as a fat sheep?" The culture of the Chinese nation has evolved over thousands of years, and it was created in the era of the Zhao and Song dynasties. Speaking of Mongolia, Temujin's iron horsemen all set foot in Europe, and Temujin was revered by his people as Genghis Khan, but what about it? Westerners call it the Yellow Peril, but a passer-by who plagued Europe; less than 100 years after the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Song Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang restored the Han dynasty. The Han and Tang dynasties were both civil and military, so the evaluation at home and abroad was much higher than that of the Song and Ming dynasties. Past experience, if not forgotten, is a guide for the future.. Zhang Xun has strengthened his belief that neither civil nor military can be abandoned, and only by complementing each other can we achieve positive results.
