"It's different. Without you as my training partner, I wouldn't have been able to suddenly realize it. I wouldn't have been able to realize that Master's words and deeds have already laid the foundation for me to understand the meaning of the sword in advance."
Xu Yan shook his head and spoke truthfully.
Without Xie Lingfeng's questions and sparring, his understanding would not have been touched, so Xie Lingfeng still deserves some credit for being able to comprehend the sword intention of mountains and rivers so quickly.
"Brother Xu, can I meet senior?"
Xie Lingfeng said with a look of fascination.
"I have to ask my master."
Xu Yan thought for a while and said.
"Then thank you very much, Brother Xu."
Xie Lingfeng said gratefully.
After a pause, he sighed, "I, Xie Lingfeng, thought I had outstanding talent in swordsmanship, but I never thought that I had never even entered the door of swordsmanship.
"Brother Xu, how can I make the sword's heart clear?"
The foundation for entering the art of swordsmanship is to have a clear heart of the sword.
Xie Lingfeng also wanted to realize that the sword's heart was transparent. As for the realm beyond the sword's heart being transparent, it was too far away for him.
It is an honor to be able to have a clear sword mind and enter the door of kendo in this life.
How can the sword’s heart be clear?
Xu Yan was startled for a moment. He didn't know how to teach Xie Lingfeng. After all, their cultivation methods were different.
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Yan felt that before the sword's heart became clear, the first thing was to improve his state of mind and make it clear.
"Master said, 'There is no woman in the heart, cultivation is like having gods.' This artistic conception is so profound that it breaks the shackles of my own mental state. It is precisely because I clearly understood the analogy of Master's sentence to the artistic conception that I have a solid foundation, and then I have
The foundation of the sword’s clear heart.
"So, if you want the sword's heart to be clear, you must first achieve 'no woman in your heart'. Only in such a state of mind, not to be disturbed by external objects, and to clarify yourself can you step into the sword's heart to be clear."
Thinking of this, Xu Yan asked: "Brother Xie, do you miss a woman?"
Although Xie Lingfeng is older than him, he is still in his prime of life and is most easily attracted to women. If he can avoid being tempted by women and can follow his heart, his state of mind will have the basis for understanding the sword and his heart.
Xie Lingfeng was stunned.
I asked about swordsmanship, but you said women?
This way of thinking is too exaggerated.
"Maybe... you have some thoughts... you will think about it, right?"
Xie Lingfeng didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"Brother Xie, the foundation of the sword's clear heart lies in a clear state of mind, that is, being able to control oneself without being disturbed by external objects.
"One of the prerequisites for entering the swordsmanship is to have no desire for women. Only in this way can there be hope."
Xu Yan said solemnly.
Xie Lingfeng continued to be confused, his eyes were a little dazed, and said: "You don't have a woman in your heart? Does that mean..."
He glanced down at the area below his lower abdomen.
"Brother Xie, you are wrong. The so-called 'having no heart for women' does not mean abandoning women. It is a state, a state of mind... To put it bluntly, if I am not moved by women, women's sex will not be enough to make me moved...
…
"It is a state of mind that controls one's self and clarifies one's heart."
Xu Yan hurriedly explained.
Lest Xie Lingfeng get a misunderstanding and directly cut his brother with a knife.
Xie Lingfeng's eyes were blank. What kind of state of mind is this? How to understand it?
It's so mysterious.
Having no woman in my heart does not mean abandoning women, but it also means controlling myself...
"Am I not suitable for practicing swordsmanship?"
Xie Lingfeng fell into self-doubt.
After a long while, he took a deep breath and said, "I wonder, Brother Xu, how can I achieve the state of mind that you said, 'There is no woman in my heart'?"
Xu Yan thought about it and realized that he had gone to Queen Qi's Palace to hone his mental state, and that's when he made a huge improvement.
So he said bluntly: "I went to Emperor Qi's harem to watch his beautiful concubines dancing and being graceful, so that I could hone my state of mind and finally achieve something."
"Thank you, Brother Xu, for your advice!"
Xie Lingfeng's eyes lit up and he solemnly thanked him.
"Thank you for being so polite, brother."
Xu Yan felt that he helped him understand the meaning of the sword in advance, and it was appropriate for him to give him some guidance on how to practice and improve his state of mind.
On this day, for Xie Lingfeng, it seemed as if a skylight had been opened and he saw the real world.
He had a glimpse of the mysteries of swordsmanship, but he couldn't get to the point.
The meaning of the sword is so mysterious.
How can one say that one has entered the gate of swordsmanship before he has understood the meaning of swordsmanship?
Leaving Xu Yan's residence and returning to the palace where he lived, Xie Lingfeng saw Hu Shan, still looking a little depressed, so he said: "Hu Shan, you should be happy. After learning the truth about martial arts, you should pursue the true martial arts!
"
Hu Shan gave a bitter smile and said: "Master, it's easy to say, but I still can't accept it!"
"Nothing is unacceptable."
Xie Lingfeng said with firm eyes: "I want to practice true martial arts, and I want to truly step into the door of swordsmanship."
Hu Shan was startled, as if he saw the young master again, pursuing the way of swordsmanship at Jianzun Cliff.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
"Hu Shan, do you know the meaning of the sword? Today, I know what the true way of the sword is."
Xie Lingfeng exhaled and said.
"Sword Intent?"
Hu Shan murmured.
Xie Lingfeng told what happened today that Xu Yan realized the sword intention, and finally said: "The sword intention of mountains and rivers is really powerful!"
Hu Shan could not calm down for a long time.
…
Xu Yan finally understood the meaning of the sword, and decided to return to Yunshan County to break through the innate realm.
Before leaving, he gave guidance to Guo Rongshan and others on their cultivation.
On this day, Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan saw each other off.
"Brother Xie, if my master is willing to see you, I will send a message to my grandpa and ask him to inform you!"
Xu Yan cupped his hands and said.
"Thank you so much, Brother Xu!"
Xie Lingfeng said gratefully.
He wanted to visit Xu Yan's master, the mysterious reclusive master.
This is an opportunity!
Must grasp!
"Farewell!"
Xu Yangong cupped his hands, turned and left.
Yunshan County.
Meng Chong was studying the Eight Diagrams. The more he studied, the more mysterious he became. He always felt that he had some understanding, but he could never grasp the key points.
"Don't rush it."
Meng Chong took a deep breath to calm his impatient heart.
Li Xuan paid attention to Meng Chong for a few days and stopped paying attention. With Meng Chong's talent, he would definitely be able to understand something.
Suddenly, golden finger feedback appeared.
"Your disciple Xu Yan has comprehended the Sword Intent of Mountains and Rivers, and your Sword Intent of Mountains and Rivers has become a great success!"
Boom!
The sword intention came to mind, as if I was born with the sword intention.
The sword intention of mountains and rivers!
Li Xuan was immediately overjoyed, "What a good disciple, you have already understood the meaning of the sword before you have broken through the innate realm. You really have the appearance of a sword god!"
The great cause of martial arts has taken another big step forward.
In the blink of an eye, an inexplicable aura enveloped the small courtyard, as if the mountains and rivers were all in the small courtyard. It had an endless meaning, but also lurked to be fierce and ruthless.
Shi Er, who was practicing, suddenly felt as if he had entered a mountain and river.
How insignificant is oneself.
The mountains and rivers seemed ruthless, as if they could bury the common people, and he was being buried by the mountains and rivers.
"what happened?"
Shi Er was shocked.
"I want to get out!"
He wanted to struggle, but was unable to move. In the end, he gritted his teeth and continued to use his skills to temper his bones.
"I want to become stronger. The faster I become stronger, the faster I can get out of here!"
With this belief in his heart, Shi Er was refining his bones like crazy.
In a daze, he felt as if he was being eroded by mountains and rivers, but because of his tenacious resistance, the speed of bone refining increased greatly, and the speed of engulfment by mountains and rivers continued to weaken.
Overjoyed, I practiced even harder.
Li Xuan glanced at Shi Er silently. He just used the Mountain and River Sword Intent and pressed it a little, which actually greatly increased the speed of Shi Er's bone refining.
"Sword intent can temper oneself, from the physical body to the spiritual one."
Li Xuan fell into deep thought.
Wait for Xu Yan to come back and give him a reminder so that his apprentice can continue to develop the wonderful use of sword intention.
Shi Er woke up from the state of being enveloped by mountains and rivers. He was shocked to find that he had actually tempered copper bones!
Unconsciously, the tempering of the iron bones was completed in a short period of time.
At this moment, he understood something.
"Thank you, Lord!"
He saluted Li Xuan respectfully.
"Well, practice hard and get started as soon as possible."
Li Xuan nodded.
Xu Yan is back.
"Master!"
Xu Yan saluted respectfully.
"Okay! Okay! Disciple, if you can understand the meaning of the sword before you break through, all your hard work as a master will be in vain!"
Li Xuan looked pleased.
"As expected! Master has been teaching me through words and deeds from the very beginning, laying the foundation for me to understand the meaning of the sword."
When Xu Yan heard this, he was immediately moved.
"Thank you Master!"
"Disciple, the sword's intention is mysterious. You can refine yourself. It's not just about killing enemies and winning. You have to learn more about it."
Li Xuan said solemnly.
"Yes, Master!"
Xu Yan was thoughtful, he had not yet fully understood the essence of the sword's meaning.
Master is reminding himself that sword intention is not only used to fight enemies!
"It's time for you to break through to the innate realm."
"This disciple will be able to achieve a breakthrough in the next few days."
"Go, settle down, and break through the innate realm. Only by breaking through the innate realm can we truly transcend the mortal world and truly enter the path of martial arts.
"The Qi and Blood Realm can only be regarded as opening the door to martial arts."
Li Xuan said seriously.
"Disciple understands!"
Xu Yan bowed and saluted.
Outside Yunshan County, Meng Chong is still practicing the Bagua, comprehending the wonderful principles of the Bagua, and comprehending the body skills.
Xu Yan's figure appeared, and he was surprised when he looked at Meng Chong who was engaging in gossip.
"Junior brother's understanding of the Bagua seems to be somewhat different from mine? Could it be that my junior brother's understanding is wrong?
"No! If junior brother understands something wrong, how can master not correct it?"
Thinking of this, Xu Yan couldn't help but think deeply.
"Everyone's understanding of the wonderful principles of Bagua is different. Maybe we can confirm each other and gain more insights."
Meng Chong stopped and said happily: "Senior brother, you are back."
"Junior brother, are you meditating on body skills?"
"Yes, but junior brother is stupid and has not yet understood!"
Meng Chong touched his bald head, looking a little ashamed.
"There is no rush to understand the techniques. The mysteries of the Eight Diagrams have different insights. After I break through the innate realm, we can discuss it with each other and exchange our insights. We will definitely gain different results."
Xu Yan patted Meng Chong on the shoulder and said.
"good!"
Meng Chong nodded.
After exchanging pleasantries with Meng Chong, Xu Yan left the forest and came to the hillside not far away.
Sit cross-legged and calm yourself.
Prepare to break through the innate realm.
He has already understood the techniques of the Xiantian realm.
Breakthrough is not a problem.
Three days later.
Xu Yan took a deep breath and began to circulate his qi and blood, condensing them continuously. As the qi and blood condensed, the jade bones shone brightly.
"Qi and blood are condensed into innate true energy, which connects the bridge of heaven and earth, swallows the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and opens up the Dantian Qi sea..."
Xu Yan stimulated his energy and blood, condensing it while penetrating the Heaven and Earth Bridge, and a roaring sound resounded in his body.
A mysterious feeling came to my mind.
His intuition told him that if the Heaven and Earth Bridge was connected, he would be able to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and inhale and practice spiritual energy.
Boom!
The Heaven and Earth Bridge is being connected bit by bit under the impact of Qi and blood, and there seems to be a shining avenue in the body that is being formed.
"This is the Bridge of Heaven and Earth? A bridge that connects heaven and earth by itself."
Xu Yan was excited.
Boom!
Qi and blood continued to impact, and the bridge of heaven and earth opened up bit by bit, but not at a fast speed. As the bridge of heaven and earth began to connect, qi and blood continued to condense, and began to show signs of transformation.
The jade bones all over his body are exuding brilliance at this moment.
"Master said that sword intention can temper oneself, not only to fight against the enemy..."
Xu Yan suddenly remembered his master's words.
As soon as he thought, the sword intention emerged.
"The sword intention blends into the blood, penetrates the bridge of heaven and earth, and blends into the jade bone..."
Within Xu Yan's body, the Mountain and River Sword Intent was flowing. As the Sword Intent entered his Qi and blood, it seemed as if some kind of transformation was taking place in an instant.
On the flawless jade bone, as the sword's intention flows, mysterious lines gradually emerge. The thin, flawless lines seem to depict mountains and rivers.
Xu Yan, who was immersed in the breakthrough, was running his sword intent, condensing his energy and blood, and connecting the heaven and earth bridge. He was still unaware of some kind of transformation that had occurred within himself.
Boom!
After the sword intention was integrated into the blood, the speed of the bridge between heaven and earth gradually increased.
On the Heaven and Earth Bridge, the shadow of the sword seemed to appear.
At a certain moment, Xu Yan had a flash of inspiration: "If the sword intention is integrated into the qi and blood, then if I condense the qi and blood into the Dragon Subduing Palm, and use the Dragon Subduing Palm to penetrate the bridge of heaven and earth, wouldn't it be faster?"
Just do it if you think of it.
Boom!
The energy and blood suddenly turned into a giant dragon, roaring and constantly attacking the Heaven and Earth Bridge. As the dragon penetrated the Heaven and Earth Bridge, gradually, a dragon shape seemed to appear on the Heaven and Earth Bridge.
It seems that there is a giant dragon lying on the bridge of heaven and earth!
The sword intention merged into the energy and blood, and the energy and blood turned into a giant dragon. At this moment, the Dragon Subduing Palm seemed to have undergone some changes.
Xu Yan had some realizations in his mind.
Boom!
The Heaven and Earth Bridge continues to connect, getting bigger and wider.
The qi and blood gradually took on the form of innate true qi. In its purity, it contained a great power, like the power of a true dragon.
It also contains sharp edges and is endless, like mountains and rivers.
The jade bones shine brightly, and the mountains and rivers are depicted on the flawless jade bones, showing the image of flawless mountains and rivers.
At a certain moment, a dragon's roar seemed to resound within his body, and the giant dragon circled around him, disappearing into the jade bones, as if a real dragon was hiding in the mountains and rivers.
The Heaven and Earth Bridge was also connected at this moment.
Boom!
The qi and blood suddenly transformed and turned into innate true qi.
At this moment, Xu Yan only felt that his senses were transformed, as if the world had become clearer.
He seemed to have merged into the world.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was sensed.
The violent spiritual energy rolled in as he swallowed, passed through the Heaven and Earth Bridge, and poured into the Dantian Qi Sea.
Boom!
Dantian vibrated, as if the world was created. Under the impact of spiritual energy, the prototype of Dantian Qi Sea appeared.
