Chapter 4 Challenges
It is said that after the unspiritual Taoist put down the rebellion of Luo Meng, Tie Ding, Sun Tian, and Hanan, he returned to his room, and suddenly, the unspiritual Taoist said to Chen Haoran: "Your swordsmanship today is indeed very powerful. "Also, your martial arts have indeed been practiced to seventy percent. Chen Haoran said: "Dad, I said that my martial arts are very powerful, but you just don't believe it." ”
The unspiritual man said, "Don't be complacent, I will test you regularly." Chen Haoran said: "I know Dad." The unspiritual man said, "What did you learn from the sword move I taught you?" Chen Haoran said: "Dad, I don't know why, it's just that when you use that sword move, isn't it connected to your sword light by a flash of lightning in the sky?"
The immortal Taoist said, "Yes, so what?" Chen Haoran said: "I don't know why, as soon as I saw your sword move, I found a sword momentum circling and flying in the air, and an old man with white eyebrows and white hair appeared in the sword momentum. The immortal said, "The old man with white eyebrows and white hair, that's a fairy." Chen Haoran said: "I don't know this, I only know that the old man with white eyebrows and white hair is hovering in the air and flying with a long sword." ”
The immortal Taoist said, "Then what happened?" Chen Haoran said: "I saw that the old man's long sword was in the air, and he had already changed one sword move into two moves. Chen Haoran continued: "After that, the old man changed countless tricks, which dazzled me. The immortal said: "Haha, that is indeed your fate, it seems that Ran'er has the favor of the gods." ”
Chen Haoran said: "I have the favor of the gods, why don't I know it?" The immortal said, "Then you have to feel it yourself." Chen Haoran said: "Dad, have you also been instructed by the gods?" The immortal said, "Of course, do you want to listen to my story?"
Chen Haoran said: "Okay, you just say it." The unspiritual man recalled. It turned out that twenty years ago, on a dark and windy night, although the Immortal Daoist was the head of the Tianshan Sect at that time, his swordsmanship had not yet been practiced. So he practiced his swordsmanship in the backyard every night.
This night, the unspiritual Taoist practiced swords in the backyard, and his wife, the Falling Flower Fairy, took a cloak and put it on the Unspiritual Daoist, and the Falling Flower Fairy said: "Husband, the weather has been getting cooler recently, you have to pay more attention to your body." The immortal said, "I know, Madame really takes care of me." The falling flower fairy said: "This is what I should do, you don't practice too late, rest early." The unspiritual man said, "I see." ”
So the falling flower fairy went back to the room to rest first. The non-spiritual Taoist concentrated, held his breath and calmed his breath, looked at the nose with his eyes, looked at the nose and the heart, united his mind and mind, and guarded the heavenly court, only to see that the non-spiritual Taoist suddenly came out of the top of his head at this time. After the white smoke passed, the long sword of the immortal Taoist circled, and a sword was as fast as a sword. A squeaky sound broke through the air.
I saw the sword qi piercing through the air, flashing a powerful light, and when the light passed, it returned to pitch black. The long sword of the immortal Taoist turned around and slashed out as fast as lightning, only to see the sword hovering in the air, flying and hitting the air. The immortal Taoist used a coiled dragon to walk around, stepped on the direction of the seven stars, and the long sword pierced out under his left hand, and at the same time dragged his right palm backwards, making a move to fly the dragon to the ground.
I saw the blade of the long sword swinging in the air, and at the same time, the palm power of the right palm swung in the air, and at the same time collided with the blade of the long sword in the left hand. I only heard a small sound in the air, and there was a slight sound after the sword qi and palm power were confronted. At the same time, the unspiritual people were recruited, and the sword was put into the sheath.
He deeply felt that he had played this move to the fullest, making the essence of the Tianshan Sect's swordsmanship come to the fullest. The unspiritual people felt that their trick was very powerful. can surpass his predecessors, and his own martial arts can also be practiced. And he laughed with satisfaction. Just as he was laughing, suddenly, a voice sounded in the woods in the distance.
This sound surprised the people of the Immortal Dao. Although the martial arts of the Immortal Daoist were not as good as those of the Shaolin School at that time, they were already a well-known generation of grandmasters in the martial arts. The unspiritual Taoist practiced swords in his own backyard, but he didn't want to be disturbed, how did he know that the voice had obviously appeared before he practiced swords.
I only heard the voice and said, "Hehe, Immortal Daoist, do you really think your swordsmanship is very powerful?" I only heard the man say, "Okay, then today I will let you see what a truly superb sword move is." I saw that the voice fell with him, and it had fallen in front of the unspiritual people as fast as lightning.
When the immortal Taoist looked at it, he saw an old man with white eyebrows and white hair standing in front of him, wearing a scarf on his head. I saw that this old man was in his seventies, with a kind face, and he definitely didn't look like a killer or a snooper. So the immortal Taoist said, "Who are you, and what are you doing when you come to our Tianshan Sect?" only to hear the man say, "You don't want to know who I am, you just need to see how your swordsmanship is." ”
The unspiritual man said, "Look at my swordsmanship, how do you see it?" I saw the man take out a mirror and say, "Look at the contents of your mirror." With that, the man handed the mirror to the unspiritual. The unspiritual Taoist continued, only to see a person wielding a long sword in the mirror, and the unspiritual Taoist took a closer look and realized that it was himself. This surprise surprised the unspiritual people very much.
The unspiritual Taoist then looked at himself in the mirror carefully, and saw that he was wielding a long sword in the mirror, which was exactly the same as the scene when he practiced the sword just now, but the long sword he swung out was tangible and intangible, and he was weak? Seeing this, the unspiritual Taoist thought in confusion: What the hell is this all about? Obviously, my swordsmanship in reality is very strong and powerful, but why does it become tangible and weak in this mirror?
So the immortal turned his gaze to the man, cast a puzzled look, and said, "What is this?" only to hear the man say, "This mirror is called the mirror of the light, and it can reflect your true ability." "Do you feel that the swordsmanship you are using in the mirror is tangible and intangible, and you are powerless?" the immortal Taoist said, "Yes, but this is impossible, my swordsmanship is one of the best in today's martial arts." ”
I only heard the man say, "Yes, don't you believe that your swordsmanship is not good?" Okay, then you can stab a sword and try it?" The unspiritual man said, "Do you want to challenge me?" I only heard the man say, "Yes, I want to challenge you, if you can defeat me in ten moves, then I will admit defeat." "But if you can't defeat me within ten moves, then you have to listen to me, how about it?" said the unspiritual man, "Okay, it's a word." Look at the moves. ”
After the immortal Taoist finished speaking, the long sword stretched out, and in a circle, it had already stabbed the man's chest and abdomen. I saw that the man did not fight back, but I saw him retreat sideways, with his left arm slashing forward and his right foot back. The god had unknowingly avoided a sword stabbed by the unspirited man. As soon as the immortal Taoist saw it, he immediately flipped his long sword upward, and at the same time stretched his left palm forward. Swift as lightning struck the man.
I saw that at the same time as the long sword of the immortal Taoist stabbed at that person, his left palm was originally stretched forward, but when he came to that person, his palm turned and became slow and dangerous. I only heard the wind whistling, and it had already fallen on the man's back in a reverse direction.
The unspiritual Taoist thought that this second trick could subdue the old man, but how did he know that the person didn't know how, when the unspiritual Taoist left palm wind hit the back, the person's body disappeared. And it disappeared without a trace. This surprise really surprised the Immortal Daoist.
So the unspiritual Daoist immediately jumped out of the battle range and waved his palm in front of him. He said to the air, "Are you a human or a ghost?" and only heard the man in the air say, "Haha, you don't have to know who I am, you just need to practice your swordsmanship." ”
The unspiritual Taoist said, "You have lost to me within ten moves, and you have to listen to whatever I say." Why do you want to go back on it?" the man said, "Yes, do you really think you hit me in the back with your second move?" When the immortal Taoist heard this, he immediately touched his backhand, feeling that he had a strong palm force on his back. Unexpectedly, I realized that it was the palm I slapped on the back of the person just now, and this surprise really made the immortal Taoist puzzled.
So the immortal immediately knelt down and said, "Immortals, immortals, I know that you must have come to save me, so please ask the immortals to pass on my swordsmanship." Although I know that my swordsmanship is very good now, for the Shaolin faction, I feel that I have not been able to defeat him. ”
I only heard the man in the air say: "Okay, seeing that you are so sincere to be taught, I will pass on your 12-style swordsmanship, but you have to remember that you must not use these 12-style swordsmanship unless necessary, you know?" The immortal Daoist immediately said respectfully: "Thank you for the guidance of the immortals, I will remember it in my heart." The man said, "Yes." ”
So the man waved his long sleeves, and saw a long sword in the air. I saw that the man took a wrong step in the air, backhanded horizontally, and then lifted his breath from the depths, only to see the sword light fly up on its own in the air, and I saw that the man's long sleeves floated, and the long sword returned to his hand.
I only heard the man say, "You have to remember this trick, it is called Ling Bo wasted." The sword energy lies in the heart, not in the form. "Why did you have a form before? It's because you can't practice the sword with your heart, you know?" The immortal said, "I know, the immortals, please teach me again." ”
I saw that man's long sword waved in the air, and the sword light swayed like a galaxy flying, and I saw the long sword circling and flying in the air, hitting dozens of sword flowers as fast as lightning. I saw that the man's sleeve waved, and I saw dozens of sword flowers in the air and immediately turned back into a long sword.
I only heard the man say: "This trick is called one, that is, the swordsmanship is to change from fake to real, and you have to practice it until you can make something out of nothing." I saw that the man's long sword flew out again, and the long sword was silent and still in the air. Suddenly, the man let out a loud cry. The sword shattered in the air.
The immortal said, "Immortal, what kind of move is this?" The man said, "This move is called shattering and flying ashes." It is to feel the shock of the moment when the long sword shatters in the still space, and at the same time use your own power to make the long sword heal, understand?" said the immortal Taoist, "I see. ”
I saw that the man put away his long sword, and his hand was empty, and suddenly, the sky was full of dark clouds, and the wind was fierce, and the man jumped up, and his hands were actually stuck into the clouds in the sky. When he stretched out his hand, there was an extra long sword.
The man said, "This move is called the Fierce Long Sword, which is to ask you to pay attention to the true qi in your body, if your true qi is not pure, then it is impossible to give birth to a long sword in the void." The man's long sword suddenly stretched forward, and it had already come to the unspiritual Daoist, and the unspiritual Daoist was shocked and immediately took out his sword to resist. When he resisted, the man's sword was gone.
The man said, "This trick is called Void and Reality, and it requires you to gain insight into the enemy's sword moves before the sword qi in the sky is formed. The unspiritual man said, "Taught." The man suddenly stretched out his long sword downward, and the sword trick was already pointed at the throat of the unspiritual Taoist. The man said, "This is a surprise." You're going to have to concentrate on the duel. ”
The man's long sword was given to the unspiritual Taoist with his backhand, and the unspiritual Taoist followed, how do you know what, the man suddenly flicked it, and the sword that the unspiritual Taoist took returned to the man's hand. The man said, "This trick is called single deployment." ”
That man continued to teach the supreme in the world, laid down the heavenly net, and changed the color of the wind and clouds to the unspiritual Taoists. The unspiritual people are deeply rejoicing. So he said, "Immortal, who are you?" I only heard the old man say: "I am Taishang Laojun, and I am here this time to pass on your martial arts, but you don't want to tell anyone about my appearance." Also, after that you have a son, and you have to tell him about me. He will be blessed. After speaking, Taishang Laojun left in a burst of smoke.
When the immortal Taoist told Chen Haoran about this memory, Chen Haoran immediately remembered that day when he was hit by an electric light, Taishang Laojun wanted him to go to heaven, and he had a bottle on his body. Don't talk to your father about this matter. I only heard the unspiritual Taoist say: "You are so talented now, it must be related to Taishang Laojun, you have to cherish it." Chen Haoran said: "The child knows." ”
