Chapter 10: Edgeworth
"Not bad. Mo Huai's current skills are very rare among teenagers, but they are nothing among the heroes of the world. If you want to use such skills to resist the Zongji Sect, you are undoubtedly a fool's dream!"
Qin Zheng couldn't help but pause when he heard this, and Shen Mohuai shouted, "Master, is there no way?"
"What's the way?"
Shen Mohuai said: "It's the way to break through this limit." ”
"There's no way, but why bother?"
Shen Mohuai was stunned and said, "Why bother?"
"Not bad. If you talk about learning swords, with his qualifications, it is impossible to achieve great achievements in this life. But in the world, not only sword learners can reach the top of the world. If he can't learn the sword, can't he learn anything else?"
Qin Zheng perked up when he heard these words, and Shi Li said, "Please ask the seniors to guide the maze!"
The people in the cabin were silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Your father and son, your surname is Xuan, right?"
Qin Wei was so frightened when he heard this, but Qin Zheng replied bluntly: "Yes!"
"That's it. ”
Qin Zheng's heart moved, and he asked, "The seniors have seen and heard a lot, do you know why the Zongji Sect wants to hunt down and kill our Xuan family?"
The person in the cabin sighed, "You don't know?"
Qin Zheng said: "The younger generation is stupid, and the younger generation doesn't know." Please also ask the seniors to show me. ”
The cabin man sneered and said, "You don't know, but your father must know that I don't need to do this for me." ”
Qin Zheng glanced at Qin Wei, Qin Wei sighed, and motioned for him not to ask this question on such an occasion. Qin Zheng reluctantly suppressed his curiosity and asked, "The senior suddenly mentioned our family name, but it has something to do with the path that is suitable for my cultivation?"
The people in the cabin sighed twice, as if admiring: "Not bad." Your understanding is indeed very good. After a pause, he said: "I see that your eyes are very correct and your heart is very strong, but since you were a child, you have practiced the secret of Taoism "Health Master"?"
Qin Zheng said: "Yes! This is a kung fu passed down from my ancestors, but the true qi practiced by this kung fu is not strong, and it is useless, just because this is the legal system that my family passed down from my ancestors, so I don't dare to throw it away." ”
It turned out that Qin Zheng's family was originally a big family, and the family history was very deep, but it was hunted down by the Zongji Sect for several generations, and all kinds of Xuanwu classics were lost, and only one "The Theory of Health Preservation and Sparseness" remained intact. This book is developed from the article "Health Master" in the seven articles of "Zhuangzi", the exercises recorded above are to awaken a congenital true qi in the sea of qi, to supervise the pulse upward, to nourish the body, clear the mind, to forge the spirit, practice to the depths can make the body function and the body of the true qi to achieve the ultimate balance, in terms of the cultivation of spiritual power is also the world's first-class method, but the true qi practiced by this skill, in terms of texture, can not support all kinds of high and high martial arts.
Shen Mohuai's master listened to Qin Zheng's words, but sneered: "It's useless? Who said it's useless? When your Xuan family was in its heyday, its momentum and strength were enough to compete with the top famous factions in the world, and this "Health Master" is the general outline of your Xuan family's family studies, but you don't know it when you are in Baoshan." If you find a path that suits you in the future, you will know the benefits of this effort. ”
When Qin Zheng heard that his family was in its heyday, it was enough to compete with the top famous sects in the world, and his heart was shocked, and he asked, "Senior is saying that my cultivation path should be found from here?"
The person in the cabin did not answer him directly: "What to do, it is your own business, and it has nothing to do with me." I don't want to be your master, let alone your benefactor. If you can achieve something in the future, I don't mind being your opponent. Hmph......" Her tone has been cold, but when she said this, she was a little expectant: "...... But I don't think it's very slim. I've said so much today, so let's end our fate. If it is dark today, it will help your father and son to escape. I will not keep you. ”
Qin Wei and Qin Zheng were quite abrupt when they heard her say this, but his father and son knew that it would be difficult for her to take it back once the other party's words were spoken, not to mention that they didn't want to beg bitterly. At that moment, they saluted together and prepared to disembark. The people in the cabin returned the salute behind the curtain, and sure enough, they didn't pretend to be benefactors at all.
Shen Mohuai suddenly said, "Master, I'll give them a ride." ”
The occupants were neither for nor against. Shen Mohuai took Qin Zheng's hand and came outside the cabin and asked, "Where are you going to go next?"
Qin Zheng glanced at his father, and Qin Wei said, "Brother Shen's master even knows our origins, so there is no need to hide it. Qin Zheng told Shen Mohuai that they were going to find Qingyangzi.
Shen Mohuai said: "Qingyangzi, my master has a high opinion of him, saying that he is a very knowledgeable person. I hope you all the best when you get to him. ”
Qin Wei said in his heart: "He knows Qingyangzi, but why doesn't he know Zongjimen?
Qin Zheng said: "Regardless of whether Qingyangzi accepts me or not, I will continue on this road." Just like your master said, if you can't go one way, there are other ways to go!"
Shen Mohuai said: "I'm relieved that you can think so." Looking at Qin Wei's sluggish appearance, he said, "You wait." He turned around and went back to the cabin, not knowing what he said to his master, but after a while he came out and said, "I begged Master to let me send you to Qingyangzi, but Master didn't object, only let me come back before dusk tomorrow." I've been to the valley mouth of Qingyangzi, and it's not too far from here, about 200 miles in terms of the distance from the sky, and there is enough time for me to send you there!"
Qin Zhengxin said: "What is the distance in the sky?"
Seeing Shen Mohuai take out a pill and give it to Qin Weidao, "Uncle, you take this pill first, it can support you to recover a little in three days." ”
Qin Wei said: "Thank you." "I don't doubt him, I took it, and soon I felt a warm current surging up from the dantian, and my spiritual strength was all uplifted.
Shen Mohuai pointed to the end and said, "Uncle, you let Yun Qing take you, and I will take Qin Zheng." With that, he went to appease Na Zhanmeng and let it accept Qin Wei. With a flutter of his wings and his back to Qin Wei, Shen Mohuai said happily: "Yun Qing has agreed! Remember to hold on to the horn bones that protrude from its back!"
Qin Wei just fell down, and then he felt that his feet were volleying, and Annihilation rose to the sky, hovering in the sky.
Qin Zheng stood at the bow of the boat and looked very envious, Shen Mohuai clenched Qin Zheng's hand and said, "Don't look at it! You have to keep your heart and mind in harmony with me, so that I won't have much trouble bringing you here." ”
Qin Zheng said: "The mind and spirit are one, and the inner breath is connected?"
Shen Mohuai said: "Not bad. Then he lost a warm current from the palm of his hand, and followed to teach Qin Zheng how to operate this air current, and when the qi veins of the two merged seamlessly, Shen Mohuai snorted lightly, took out a sword, and built an anti-gravity field between the person and the sword, Qin Zheng felt that his feet were empty, and the whole person was suspended in the air. Qin Zheng looked down and saw that it was a sword that was holding him, and exclaimed: "Imperial Sword Technique! You can also use Imperial Sword Technique!"
Shen Mohuai listened to Qin Zheng's words and said curiously: "What does 'also' mean?
Qin Zheng said: "No, I won't, but the masters of the Zongji Sect can! I used to think that they would be able to use swordsmanship." ”
Shen Mohuai said with a smile: "Although I haven't seen anyone else know this swordsmanship, my master is very stakes, and it's not strange that she will do anything." ”
Qin Zheng sighed: "Not bad. She is an old man with great powers. ”
Shen Mohuai was displeased when he heard this: "What old man, my master is very young!"
Qin Zheng was stunned and said, "Young?"
"Yes!" Shen Mohuai squinted his eyes and said, "She is the youngest and most beautiful woman I have ever seen!"
Shen Mohuai said, a circle, with Qin Zheng swept low across the river, and it didn't take long to sweep in front of Annihilation, leading the way, Annihilation's eyes were sharp, although he was dozens of zhang in the sky, he still saw Shen Mohuai's whereabouts clearly. Shen Mohuai flew by the sword at a low altitude, and Zhan Meng flapped his wings and flew high in the sky, three people and a bird flew for dozens of miles, stopping to rest in the middle, with Shen Mohuai's current skills, even if he ran out of hundreds of miles in one breath, he didn't need to rest, but although the flying speed of the sword was fast, it was extremely exhausting, not to mention that he also took a person, and he had to stop and breathe after flying for dozens of miles, and he would go on the road again after a quarter of an hour.
Halfway through, Qin Zheng asked Shen Mohuai about the principle of the Imperial Sword Divine Movement, and Shen Mohuai said: "Now that you and I are one, can you feel anything unusual about my sword at the moment?"
"Strange?" Qin Zheng indensed his senses, and after a while, he found that there was a fluctuation inside the sword, but it was not like the feeling after injecting internal breath into the weapon, but he felt that the sword itself had a fluctuation, and it sensed with Shen Mohuai's internal breath.
Puff, puff –
It wasn't that there was really such a voice, but that Qin Zheng was connected to Shen Mohuai's qi veins, and through Shen Mohuai, he sensed that there was a faint rhythm of heart creeping inside the sword!
"Oh my God, isn't this sword alive?"
When he discovered this mystery for the first time, he was truly amazed and had an indescribable joy in his heart.
"No, no," Shen Mohuai said, "A sword is a sword, how can there be life." ”
"But why do I feel like it's alive inside? ”
Shen Mohuai smiled slightly and said, "That's right, it's 'like' to live, but it's not really alive after all." Qin Zheng, have you ever seen an iron block after being struck by lightning?"
"Nope. ”
Shen Mohuai thought for a moment and said, "Then you have always seen the iron pot after being roasted red by the fire." ”
Qin Zheng couldn't help but smile: "How could I not have seen it." ”
Shen Mohuai continued: "We use the fire to roast the pot, and after roasting for a while, remove the fire, but the pot is still hot, why is this happening?"
Qin Zheng didn't think about it, so he said, "Because the heat of the fire is transferred to the iron pot." ”
"yes, that's it. Shen Mohuai said, "We martial arts practitioners practice swordsmanship, and after emitting sword qi through the sword, even if the hand leaves the sword, the sword itself will still have some sword qi remaining. As for how much sword qi the sword can keep for us and how long it lasts, it depends on the strength of the internal breath we infuse. In terms of nature, as well as the quality of the sword itself, ordinary steel, although it can also withstand our internal breath, but as soon as the human hand leaves, it will dissipate not long after, but there are some special substances in the world, after the internal breath is injected, it can still be retained for a considerable period of time, if this material is forged into a weapon, and then baked by a martial arts master with true qi, or by a master of Xuanmen to collect the energy of heaven and earth and inject into it, it may release a powerful power when facing the enemy, this kind of weapon, can be called a Xuanbing. ”
Qin Zheng nodded, his father Qin Wei had seven treasures, most of which had such qualities.
"Then the reason why this sword seems to have life is because it can preserve your internal breath?" Qin Zheng asked.
"It is true that my sword can preserve the injected power more than ordinary Qinggang swords, but the reason why it can give you such a wonderful sense is not because I infuse internal breath, but because I inject essence essence. And it is not an acquired turbidity essence, but an innate element essence. ”
Qin Zheng's heart moved, and he remembered what the senior said: "The principle of the Zongji Gate Imperial Sword is not an immortal technique, not even a mystical method, but a pure martial art. ”
Qin Zheng knew the difference between acquired turbidity essence and innate yuan essence, he had heard his father say that Taoism believes that the human body has three treasures of essence and spirit, and the three treasures are both different and combined into a unity, and they are all innate and acquired, the so-called acquired turbidity essence refers to the tangible and qualitative semen stored in the viscera, and the so-called innate essence of the essence refers to the intangible and substantial essence in the human body, which can only be sensed by martial arts masters or cultivators.
I only heard Shen Mohuai continue: "We martial arts students have spent our lives refining and refining qi, refining qi and refining essence, and looking for a way to burst out the strongest power between true essence and true qi. The sword is an extension of our body, ordinary swordsmen can only inject the afterglow into the weapon to enhance the lethality of the weapon, but the superior person with a sword that can condense energy without dispersing, can refine its own innate essence, and then try to store it in the sword, so that even if the sword leaves the hand, because the sword contains the essence of the swordsman, the innate true qi in the swordsman's body moves, and the sword will resonate with the master within a certain distance. Using this resonance, we can control the sword from the air, and even the Edgeworth. ”
Qin Zheng suddenly realized when he heard this, and then he understood the true meaning of the Zongji Gate's swordsmanship, at this time he and Shen Mohuai's qi veins were connected, Shen Mohuai sensed that he was excited, and his qi veins were surging, and he hurriedly shouted: "Steady, steady!" Now that you and I are one in one, if you are unstable, it will affect me. ”
Qin Zheng hurriedly collected his mind and asked again: "Then how to extract your own essence and inject it into the sword?"
Originally, it was a martial arts taboo to ask about the martial arts mysteries of other sects, but Shen Mohuai's master had never told him about this great precept, and Shen Mohuai did not have this concept in his heart, and he had no intention of hiding his selfishness from Qin Zheng, but said: "This is complicated, and I can't tell you clearly for a while." Alas, it's a pity that Master won't accept you as an apprentice, otherwise I would have had time to tell you slowly. ”
