Chapter 30: Asking the Water Nine Swords
Liu Chen, who returned to his room, did not hold the lamp, but lay on the bed with his clothes, holding the Qiushui Sword in his arms, always vigilant for any movement outside the house.
He knew that his situation was very troublesome now, and there were more and more people who recognized his identity, and Emperor Gongsun You was an extremely unstable factor, these royal children were too selfish, and they couldn't tell when they would sell Liu Chen for their own interests.
Now he can only borrow the power of the man in black, no matter what he said is true or not, his strength is definitely very convincing to Liu Chen, combined with the kindness he showed to himself, Liu Chen made up his mind to pay attention to the days after this, before he has no ability to protect himself, he must be well attached to the man in black, that is his biggest reliance on surviving in danger.
For those tasks, no matter what, he has to complete them beautifully, the experience of the rivers and lakes tells him that if you don't pay, there will be no return, if you want the people in black to value yourself more, then every time you want to do a task, you have to continue to prove your ability, and the reliance of the people in black is the foundation of his foothold in that mysterious organization.
After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Chen did not feel sleepy, at this moment, there are not many people in the student dormitory area of the entire academy, everyone goes out, enters the palace, and on the first day of the new year, it is very deserted. And this coldness will continue for a long time, it is this kind of coldness that makes people panic in the bottom of their hearts, so that Liu Chen understands that he doesn't even have a place to go, Kyushu is big, but there is nowhere to be home. He really wanted to go out to the little monk and ask them if the affairs of the palace had been settled, but he was afraid that when he went out, he would be caught by Langya Wei and the masters of the inquisition, so that he would die without a place to be buried.
The moonlit treetops, the night breeze was slightly cool, and he had nothing to do, so he had to try to relax his mood, and slowly took out the leather silk that Liu Shayun had left for him from his arms.
Glancing at the Listening to the Mountain Sutra that was less than a hundred words, Liu Chen's gaze fell on the huge question water trick, and on the question water trick, the highest level of martial arts of the Sword Pavilion - the Nine Swords of Asking Water.
"The sword is unsheathed, and the momentum is like wind and thunder!"
"The first sword, the white ape roars at the beginning of the sun!"
"The second sword, the koi leaps over the Yangtze River!"
On the question of water, the practice method of the first two swords of the nine swords of the water is recorded in detail, and as for the seven swords in the back, it is just a sentence, and it is briefly explained, which are: "Life, gorgeous summer flowers, autumn is strong, extinguished, human sword, heart sword, ten thousand swords return to the sect!"
When Liu Chen read it clearly, he knew that before the human level, he couldn't learn the seven swords behind the Nine Swords of Asking Shui at all, because these seven sword moves were all comprehended by himself, that is to say, every swordsman who learned to ask the Nine Swords of Shui was different from each other, and the same work.
"It is worthy of the evolution of the Book of Heaven, this swordsmanship is really exquisite!" Liu Chen was immersed in the world of the swordsmanship of asking water, and he couldn't extricate himself for a long time.
Seeing the rise, Liu Chen took off his coat, picked up the ironwood sword equipped by the academy, came to the small courtyard alone, and began to practice by himself according to the description of asking the water trick.
This practice actually made Liu Chen more and more frightened, the simplest starting style, he practiced it very jerky, swinging the sword and swinging the sword, the sword in his hand couldn't swing at all, but it was a person, and it was not light.
"I still have to go to the man in black to teach me!" Liu Chen secretly made a decision, then withdrew the long sword, and stood there quietly to breathe, the drill just now had made him feel tired for a while, no wonder he saw Wu Tong standing there with a knife every day, sweating profusely without moving, this top martial art, it consumes physical strength to learn, fortunately, he has practiced moving mountains every day, otherwise he couldn't hold on to it just now.
The man in black didn't have much time left for him, around the Qingming Festival, the freshmen were about to be admitted to the hospital, at that time, he had to at least cultivate to the first grade of qi refining, otherwise, he was not sure at all about killing the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites.
After figuring out this section, Liu Chen was full of energy, turned around and returned to the house, took out the mountain scripture and studied it, this mountain scripture is the foundation of all the sword techniques in the Sword Pavilion, and it is the method of refining qi, refining bones, and concentrating.
"I listen to the mountain, stand on the top of the sky, I am close to the mountain, like a dream, I Ling that mountain, climb high and look far away, I live in that mountain, and the mountain is one, and then heaven and man are one!" Looking at it, Liu Chen's brows couldn't help frowning, without him, he couldn't understand it.
"There was once a top-level mental method in front of me, but I didn't cherish it, if God gave me another chance to choose, I will definitely study hard and live up to the teachings of the Holy Ancestor!" This is the best portrayal of Liu Chen's heart now, the book is used to hate less, no wonder the Holy Ancestor said back then, learn martial arts first to be a man, to be a man first to read. It seems that the wise and great Holy Ancestor has already seen through everything.
"Sit cross-legged, breathe down dantian!" Just when Liu Chen was scratching his ears and cheeks in confusion, a low male voice sounded in his ears, Liu Chen was suddenly startled, turned around, but saw Liu Shayun, who was in green clothes and gray hair, sitting in front of his bed, looking at him with a smile.
"Sit down!" Liu Shayun spoke again, Liu Chen thought about it, and sat cross-legged on the bed according to his meaning, slowly closing his eyes.
"The mountain, that is, the human being, now, you regard yourself as the mountain, you listen, listen to the wind blowing through the mountain, to feel the wind, you can't hear it, you can't touch it, but you can feel it, feel it slowly approaching you, wrapping you, and then you slowly fly up, fly between heaven and earth, and merge with them, at this moment, you are the sky, you are the earth, everything in the sky and the earth, is you!"
Liu Shayun's voice was very soft, listening to Liu Chen's ears, it made him feel a burst of warmth, just when Liu Chen fell into that mysterious feeling, Liu Shayun stretched out his right hand, and his index finger lightly pointed at Liu Chen's dantian and said: "Feel here, let the breath between heaven and earth merge here!"
Liu Chen followed his words, slowly guiding the breath that was vague, and after a long time, his lower abdomen finally had a trace of warmth, and gradually, the warmth became stronger and stronger, and there was a faint burning pain, which made him frown.
"You take it, follow me!" Liu Shayun's fingers moved slowly, gently tapping the meridians of Liu Chen's body, only to hear him slowly open his mouth and summon: "Come here, I have mountain roots, stable as a rock! Come here again, I have a mountainside, and my strength runs through my whole body! Here, I have a mountain belly, and my successor is strong! I have mountains, which stretch endlessly! I am on the top of the mountain, smiling proudly!"
"This is a week, the power of heaven and earth travels through every key point of your body, and when it will no longer flow from your seven orifices, but return to your dantian, the qi refining will be completed!"
After a cycle, Liu Shayun withdrew his hand, Liu Chen also opened his eyes, at this moment, he was already sweating like rain, the fire-like qi of heaven and earth burned his body again, making him almost in pain, he could feel that he was refining qi for the first time, his tendons were too weak, and he couldn't bear the stay of the qi of heaven and earth at all.
"Thank you!" Liu Chen calmed down, clasped his fists, and bowed without humility or arrogance, no matter what the other party thought in his heart, but just now he was refining his qi, he still gave a lot of help, if there was no Liu Shayun's shot, according to his own hard exploration, this way of refining qi, I don't know how to wait until the year of the monkey.
"No, you said it yourself, I owe you!" Liu Shayun slowly stood up, looked around Liu Chen's room left and right, looked for a long time, and found that the teapot on the table was empty, and after a wry smile, he sat back opposite Liu Chen again and said, "The third uncle is here, don't you have a cup of tea?"
