There is no nail in the mountain, and the white horse has passed through the gap, and two years have passed.

Ji Yan is fifteen years old this year, with a long body, a thin body containing great strength, but his temperament is restrained, and he is just a young man full of heroism in the crowd, inconspicuous.

The mountain peaks are isolated, and in the two spring and autumn seasons, Ji Yan saw how many births, old ages, sickness and death in the mountains, the cycle of heaven, everything was dull, and everything seemed like yesterday.

A tall figure in the abandoned dojo, accompanied by fallen leaves, practiced swords in the mountains. The sword style is ordinary, but the moves are coherent, flowing smoothly, each sword seems to have been immersed for many years, if there is a master next to him, he will be able to see that each sword of Ji Yan has a little rhyme flowing, implying the rules of heaven and earth.

Luo Qiushui made a detailed observation of Ji Yan in the first three months, and this son had excellent understanding and was diligent and practical. In three months, he can do the sword at will, like an arm and a finger, and in the sparring with Luo Xingxi, he instinctively responded with the sword several times, which shows that his foundation is solid, and there is a trace of sword intent in three months, and he is also a rare genius on the way to sword cultivation. When the three-month period was approaching, Luo Qiushui just left a sword book in the bamboo building where Ji Yan lived-"Sky Splitting Sword Technique".

The Heaven Splitting Sword Technique is one of the mastery of the Jade Void of Tianzhu Peak, paying attention to borrowing the momentum, borrowing the momentum of the sky, the power of the earth and the momentum of people, the stronger the power borrowed, the more earth-shattering the power contained in the sword. The Heaven Splitting Sword Technique is composed of nine styles, from front to back, they are Cave Void, Infinite Void, Burning Sun, Ice, Earth Split, Wind Surge, Thunder, Starfall, and Destruction. These nine styles each have countless sword moves, but the pursuit of change, no dead moves, improvisation, more emphasis on each style of sword intent, these nine types of sword moves because of the characteristics of the sword intent named, swordsmanship to the time of perfection, a moment of destruction of mountains and reclamation, omnipotent.

In the first year of practicing swordsmanship, Ji Yan continued to comprehend every move and potential of the Heaven Splitting Sword Technique, and used his previous experience to comprehend the sword intent, but the first type of void was incomprehensible. The sword was not completely unsheathed, how could it cause damage? Ji Yan was puzzled, and finally had no choice but to ask his master for advice. I saw Luo Qiushui standing at the bottom of a small hill, the bamboo sword was ready to go in the scabbard, his eyes were condensed, meaning the hill, the invisible sword momentum was condensed, the left hand held the scabbard, the thumb nudged the sword spine, the sword body was slowly pushed out, the right hand was at the moment of drawing the sword, there was a muffled sound in front of the mountain, and a fan-shaped match suddenly appeared in front of the hill, instantly crossing the hill, roaring and collapsing, the mountain stone rolled down, and half of the mountain had been flattened, and at this time Luo Qiushui's sword had just been pulled out to prepare for the splitting sword.

Ji Yan looked at the scene in front of him, the sword light appeared in front of the hill a few feet away from the master, the distance was so far, the speed was so fast, there was indeed an illusion of breaking through the void and appearing in an instant. Luo Qiushui put away the sword, did not interrupt Ji Yan's understanding, and after half a pillar of incense, he said slowly: "The first style is the starting style, and then the nine sword styles can be fired in an instant, thunder strikes; ”

"Master, this Void Sword Intent is to condense and compress the accumulated sword momentum, and then erupt in an instant, the disciple's mind is scattered, how can he practice this terrifying sword intent. Ji Yan looked at his level hill and didn't know how to reach such a state.

"The sword intent is not in a hurry, any sword needs to be moved by the mind, day and night. It is not easy for you to use two or three of these sword intents in three years, and you will go to the waterfall behind the forest every day, and when you draw your sword, you can take advantage of the situation to split the waterfall, and the first sword intent will be initially mastered. Luo Qiushui threw the bamboo sword to Ji Yan and went down the mountain.

Every day that follows, you can see a figure under the rocks of the waterfall, receiving the impact of water pressure, experiencing infinite pressure, transporting Buddha power to resist, moistening the sword body with Taoist vitality, ready to split the water curtain. This sword has been practiced for two years, and in his spare time, he continues to hone his swordsmanship and learn swordsmanship with his senior sister who often comes here to visit. The senior sister has arrived in the blink of an eye, and she is in her prime, standing tall and beautiful, green water and clouds, and hibiscus out of the water, so she will have the disaster of falling into the city, and she will come to Tianzhu Peak every three or five times to change clothes for her little junior brother, and she is extra attentive.

When there is no one at night, Ji Yan meditates in the forest, the surface of the golden Bodhi in the acupuncture points is vertical and horizontal, especially the one in the dantian, there is already the form of a thousand-eyed Bodhi, the sea of qi in each acupoint has already been condensed and grown, and his own unique way to capture the vitality with the soul The effect is remarkable, and the acupoints in the eyebrows are increasingly visible, and the condensed vitality in the inner often flashes golden brilliance, I don't know its effect. Ji Yan's more than two years of cultivation is quite effective, he is here behind closed doors, supplemented by a peerless master to teach, the way of the sword, plus more than ten years of Buddhism refining, five years of Taoism refining, through that period of accumulation, now thick accumulation, has reached the middle stage of foundation building, that incomparable vitality in the actual combat and the foundation building monks have a resistance power.

At the end of the second year, the Infinite Sword Intent had been realized by him. Wuji gives birth to poles, yin and yang poles, and the cycle of life and death is endless. Ji Yan experienced the tenacity of life under the waterfall, felt the vitality of all things in the mountains and forests, and watched the leaves fall and scatter, the flowers and plants withered, and recalled the terrible ghosts and ghosts he faced, and the fear of death. This sword intent was born at the moment of feeling life and death, Ji Yan faced the stretching woods, turned to the left, held the bamboo sword with the palm of his right hand upward, and rotated the blade of the sword with his right arm to the left. A cyan sword light flew out like a crescent moon, destroying and decaying, collapsing and castrating, it seemed to be no different from ordinary sword flowers, but it was always extending, reaching the end of the peak, and it was also when the sword intent was about to disappear, when he suddenly heard a shocking roar, "Boom!" A boulder on the cliff shattered, leaving a deep sword mark several zhang long on the mountain on the other side.

Ji Yan gasped for breath, unable to imagine that he would use up the vitality of various acupoints and perform the Infinite Sword Style, which would be so earth-shattering. If the Cave Void Sword Intent pays attention to fast and fierce and preemptive strikes, then the Infinite Sword Intent is fierce but endless, layered with force, and finally the combination of rigidity and softness will accumulate strength and explode instantly, just like the cycle of life and death, only on the edge of life and death can best breed infinite power. Ji Yan looked at the unconsciously stretched potholes and shattered towering ancient trees in front of him, and felt sorry in his heart, he actually learned from the empty master of the year, erected a Buddha palm, and recited his sin.

The sea of clouds slowly calmed down, and the air waves spread to the top of Zixia Peak, like a breeze blowing, but it was still mixed with a trace of earthy breath.

"Senior Brother Luo, the more I look at Ji Yan, the more I like it, it's no worse than those dolls who entered the mountain gate early, there was no such earth-shattering movement when you first showed the Wuji Sword Style, his vitality is about to reach the foundation building. ”

"Well, his cultivation method is different from others, he can only passively receive the vitality during the foundation building period, regardless of purity, and finally refine it in the body; Luo Qiushui also made a general comment on Ji Yan's cultivation in the past two years.

"Oh, it seems that these two orphans of Wujia Village are extraordinary, but they underestimated Ji Yan, and now with his strength, he can compete with the outstanding disciples of Zhufeng, junior brother, it seems that in a year's time, you are going to hit many people in the face of the sword mound sword selection" Yan Mingyuan always looks like a carefree scholar who is outside the matter, and even what he says is joking. "But aren't you worried that he is hiding something from you? After all, the tragedy in Wujia Village five years ago, Jinguang Temple has always been silent, I'm afraid there is something strange, you ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Luo Qiushui, walked down the mountain, and said indifferently: "He trusts me, I won't doubt him, after many years, do you think I am still the little junior brother who went to southern Xinjiang back then?"

Yan Mingyuan didn't say much more, shook his head and smiled bitterly, his left knee arched slightly, lying on his side on the cliff, looking at the full moon: It's still the bright moon of the year, but we are already different from each other under the moonlight.

......

Ji Yan sat under the rock, suddenly took out the Soul Devouring Bead, saw that there was no one in the four fields, and said to the bead: "Master Likong asked me to throw you away, but you have helped me several times, and the master also said that you have no evil thoughts now, do I still throw you?" The purple light flashed again, "Agree with me to throw you away?" Ji Yan saw that the bead was reacting, and then asked, and then there was no movement of the bead, "That...... Still following me?" waited for a moment, and a little ghost light came from it. Ji Yan took it in his arms, patted it with his own hands, and felt the coolness to his bones. "Well, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone, follow me!"

After a while, footsteps came from the mountains. "Come with me and teach your master the art of the sword. And he walked towards the mountain.

Ji Yan hurriedly followed, he didn't expect the master to teach him the method of the sword, great, he could finally fly into the sky and the earth like the legendary immortals, Ji Yan walked behind with excitement.

Grabbing Ji Yan's sword in the air, it fell into his hand, Luo Qiushui said to Ji Yan: "Listen, I'll only teach it once." ”

Ji Yan's eyes lit up slightly, and he listened carefully, for fear of missing a word.

"The sword is a foreign object, the mind is tied to it, the sword qi is condensed, the yuan is kept one, and the reciprocating cycle can be controlled. Luo Qiushui said, holding the sword and letting go of his hand, the bamboo sword floated in the air, his mind moved, the sword light pointed, flying and wandering.

"To teach you the sword not to leave your body for the teacher is to make sure that there is no distinction between the human sword, there is no sword in your hand, and there is a sword in your heart, which is what the sword cultivator wants. Luo Qiushui explained to Ji Yan seriously, just once. "Your cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building, although you can control the sword, but you can't fly with the sword, only the fairy sword treasure can achieve such divine power. With that, Luo Qiushui brushed his sleeves away.

Ji Yan stood quietly, thinking about the teachings of his master, the language was incisive, but the words were brilliant and enlightening, and he didn't know how the other Zhufeng Masters taught their disciples to control the sword.

Although the sword is a foreign object, it moves because of the heart. Ji Yan pulled up the bamboo sword that was inserted in the ground and drew a sword flower with his hand. The mind condensed on the bamboo sword, ran the Dao method, attached the vitality to the sword body, concentrated and held his breath, and gradually let go of his right hand, only to see the bamboo sword floating in the air, swaying slightly, but with Ji Yan's mind and vitality flowing, he still slowly flew towards the direction he wanted to go. Ji Yan was full of interest, controlling the bamboo sword to fly on the cliff, maybe it was the huge loss of vitality today, and it didn't take long for the flying sword to fall, but Ji Yan was still very satisfied.

In less than half a month, Ji Yan can skillfully control the sword, like an arm and a finger. He also tried to fly on the sword body, at first he was very nervous, but after stepping on it, the sword body sank suddenly, and his vitality was lost rapidly, and he fell off in a moment. He immediately understood that it was because the Yuan Qi cultivation had not been reached, so he no longer attached himself to it and stepped on his mind to control the sword.

"Ji Yan, the way of the sword is broad and profound, you have high qualifications and understanding, and you are indeed a material that can be made, but there is still a long way to go. Luo Qiushui looked at Ji Yan, who was practicing swords in the mountains, and muttered to himself.

"A year later, the sword mound chooses the sword?
