Chapter 99: Tricks and the problem of turning swords into strings
Originally, the woman in white planned to stay for a few days before leaving, because she could not convince herself that Li Xiuyuan was Li Ye.
He didn't expect that his daughter would want to play the piano with Li Xiuyuan and Li on a whim. He also didn't expect that Nangong Ruyu was also a genius at playing the piano. She just studied with Li Xiuyuan for one night and got started.
In the days that followed, she either pestered her to learn piano with Li Xiuyuan, or pestered her master to teach her piano music.
In her opinion, her daughter's efforts in spiritual practice were as serious as her eyes.
In desperation, the woman in white had no choice but to live together in Wangyue Stream, killing time day by day.
Fortunately, Li Xiuyuan and his master didn't mind the trouble. As long as Nangong Ruyu asked, the master and the disciple would answer all questions and fulfilled their duties as masters.
Seeing that summer was coming to an end, Nangong Ruyu, who was unwilling to be lonely, not only practiced the piano, but also pestered Li Xiuyuan to practice swordsmanship with him.
Only this time, Li Xiuyuan didn't go as she expected and looked at her with worry.
After pondering for a long time, Li Xiuyuan looked at Nangong Ruyu and said slowly: "I don't know how to use swordsmanship? My swordsmanship is for killing people. How can I practice it with you?"
"Didn't Master teach you swordsmanship? Then how do you fight with others? How do you protect yourself when you are in danger?"
Naturally, Nangong Ruyu would not believe Li Xiuyuan's statement.
Li Xiuyuan thought about his battle with the bandits at the foot of the mountain and the killer at Wangyue Stream. He couldn't help but feel speechless. He looked at her and replied, "No, I just can't. You can ask the teacher."
"Gugu! Did you say that the teacher never taught Li Xiuyuan sword moves? He only knows how to kill people?"
Qing Ying, who was lying aside, opened his eyes, looked at the two of them and smiled.
"Just try two moves!" How could Nangong Ruyu believe it?
Li Xiuyuan frowned slightly, but his face was calm, and he said calmly: "I don't have a sword, do you have one?"
"You don't have a sword? Do you believe what you said?" Nangong Ruyu was angry.
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and smiled: "My sword is for killing people, not for competition. Why don't you go find a piece of bamboo for me."
"Master, let me see your sword. If it doesn't work, I'll ask my mother to give you a better one."
Nangong Ruyu looked at him and smiled. She really didn't lack swords.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said quietly: "No need, the one in front of me is very good, I don't want to change the sword." After saying that, he took out the iron sword and gently placed it on the table in front of him.
Nangong Ruyu was stunned, then reached out to take Li Xiuyuan's iron sword, looked at the rusty sword and asked, "How long has it been since you used it? The rust on it has already grown."
Qingying said with a smile: "These things can't be removed. If you don't believe me, just give them a try."
Li Xiuyuan reached out to take the iron sword and shook his head gently: "This sword killed eight bandits and beheaded eighteen killers... It is not suitable for competition."
The implication is very clear, this is a murder weapon, not a prop for a competition.
"I can't see that Master's iron is so powerful." Nangong Ruyu looked at him with a strange expression.
"This was left to me by my master! I won't replace it." Li Xiuyuan frowned, as if he was unwilling to answer the question about the iron sword.
Nangong Ruyu lowered her head and smiled, then raised her head and replied: "I have a wooden sword here. I can lend it to the master. Let's have a try, okay?"
Seeing that he couldn't hide, Li Xiuyuan had no choice but to whisper: "Here comes the sword!"
Nangong Ruyu waved his hand, and something heavily wrapped appeared in front of Qingying's eyes. The silk cloth wrapped on it was peeled off layer by layer, and finally a black-handled wooden sword was revealed.
Nangong Ruyu stared into Li Xiuyuan's eyes and murmured: "My master from the Five Regions personally made this for my master back then, and the master later gave it to me..."
After saying this, she continued: "I'm going to hit a branch. Master uses this wooden sword. Let's try two moves!"
Li Xiuyuan grabbed the wooden sword on the table, and felt that the tentacles were warm and cool, but when he held it in his hand, he had a feeling of flesh and blood connected, as if he had known each other before.
He put the sword blade against his forehead and felt it quietly for a long time before he softly replied: "What a sword!"
Qingying looked at Li Xiuyuan's expression and was stunned. Isn't this just a wooden sword? Is it that good?
At this time, Nangong Ruyu found a smooth tree branch and walked over. She stood under the tree and looked at Li Xiuyuan and said, "Master, let's fight with wooden swords so as not to harm our kindness."
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll play with you."
The master sitting aside looked at the woman in white and said with a smile: "This little guy is not easy to deal with."
The woman in white looked at Li Xiuyuan quietly, holding a wooden sword in his hand, but was speechless in his heart. Because he knew that Li Ye's weapon was an epee, but Li Xiuyuan in front of him was wielding an iron sword filled with iron swords.
.
From this point, she once again denied that Li Xiuyuan was Li Ye.
However, she had a good impression of Li Xiuyuan giving up using his iron sword to fight Nangong Ruyu.
After all, considering Li Xiuyuan's current blindness, either Nangong Ruyu hurt him, or he accidentally hurt his daughter.
She didn't believe that the guy in front of her was at the Nascent Soul realm.
Nangong Ruyu was seen holding a branch in his hand, and with his body like lightning, he stabbed Li Yeyuan in front of him with unparalleled speed, shouting: "Master, I'm here!"
Li Xiuyuan, who was holding the wooden sword in his hand, had a thought in his mind, and the consciousness he released immediately enveloped Nangong Ruyu.
He saw that Nangong Ruyu's sword moves were several times slower under his spiritual perception, and he could see the flaw in the opponent's swordsmanship with just one glance.
The purpose of Ruoshui Sword Intent is not only to see the opponent's weaknesses, but also to strengthen when strong, and to overcome steel with softness.
Any sword technique has flaws. If there are flaws, you can take advantage of them and break them with one sword.
I saw the branch in Nangong Ruyu's hand making a hissing sound. The branch turned into a long sword and made two cuts on Li Xiuyuan's clothes, each of which was a foot long.
However, in the next step, the branch in her hand stopped in mid-air. Under the exertion, the branch could not be pushed forward at all, and the wooden sword in Li Xiuyuan's hand was already pressed between her throat.
Nangong Ruyu was so angry that she stepped back! She immediately stepped back, changing her sword moves again, and transformed into thousands of sword light auras, slashing at Li Xiuyuan from all directions.
Although there were still flaws in her movements, these flaws disappeared in an instant, and countless sword energy was seen slashing towards Li Xiuyuan, who was less than two feet away from her.
However, at this time, Li Xiuyuan seemed to have seen through the essence of her sword move. He retracted the wooden sword in his hand and placed it across his chest, and then made a move that made Nangong Ruyu, the woman in white and Qingying look dumbfounded.
Li Xiuyuan, who saw green infuriating energy, jumped into the air with both feet, then stepped on his left foot and right foot, and made a vertical ladder in the air, avoiding Nangong Ruyu's fatal blow.
This is Li Xiuyuan's purpose, if you can't fight, run away.
Just when Nangong Ruyu changed his moves and raised his sword to pursue him, Li Xiuyuan flew over like a green eagle with spread wings in the air. Between the electric light and flint, the wooden sword was pressed against Nangong Ruyu's throat again.
Not even a hair’s breadth away!
The woman in white clothes under the eaves clapped her hands and shouted: "Yu'er, stop it, your sword skills are not as good as Li Xiuyuan's, don't compete."
The shocked woman in white finally understood what Li Xiuyuan said: My sword moves are for killing people, not for competition.
The master held his beard and smiled. He couldn't understand Li Xiuyuan's sword moves. This guy didn't seem to have any moves, but he was always able to strike from behind.
Thinking of this, Master looked at Nangong Ruyu and said with a smile: "You might as well learn the most basic sword moves. If you don't lay a good foundation, no matter how gorgeous the moves are, you will eventually be unable to defeat your opponent."
"How to practice? How to practice? You can't go under that waterfall, right? I won't go!"
Looking at the Master and Qingying, Nangong Ruyu frowned.
Li Xiuyuan lowered his head and thought for a while, then said quietly: "No need, you and Ying'er go find some pine needles and bamboo leaves, and I'll play with you." For some reason, Li Xiuyuan remembered this trick.
This is the method Li Ye used to practice swordsmanship with Mu Mu on the Tianshan Mountains. Although he has lost his memory now, the memory that has been integrated into his blood has never been able to shake off.
Pine needles? Bamboo leaves?
Although Nangong Ruyu had never practiced sword practice with Li Ye using pine needles, she had played many tricks with Xia Wutong using leaves against swords.
Thinking of this, he waved to Qing Ying and said with a smile: "Ying'er, let's go find pine needles and come back to practice sword practice with the master."
The green eagle, which became more playful, glanced at the Master, flapped its wings and flew towards the mountain stream, shouting happily: "Come after me, I will take you there."
The sun was getting higher, Li Xiuyuan returned to the eaves and picked up the hot tea poured by his master. He looked at the backs of Qingying and Nangong Ruyu with his flying consciousness, and listened to the faint sound of running water from the mountain waterfall, with a smile on his face.
.
As a practitioner who is about to enter the realm of distraction, one of his feet has already crossed that high threshold. He can break through to that realm at any time as long as he is willing, but he is not in a hurry right now.
Breaking through the realm a few days ago was no longer as uncomfortable as the last time. If you think about it carefully, it should be because your body has been completely integrated with the spiritual energy, and there is no longer any rejection, so you can successfully break through the second realm.
However, he still decided not to refine the remaining immortal spirit stones for the time being before breaking into the Dividing God Realm. He would keep them for later and use them when the Dividing God Realm impacts Po Xu Chong.
The master looked at Li Xiuyuan who was silent, thinking that he was still thinking about practicing swordsmanship. He looked at him and smiled and said: "I really can't help you with swordsmanship."
Li Xiuyuan, who was bowing his head in deep thought, was startled, raised his head and said with a smile: "Teacher, I was wondering what would happen when I break through and become distracted?"
The woman in white was shocked after hearing this, and wondered if she had really made a mistake? The guy in front of her was actually a Nascent Soul realm cultivator?
But how can a monk in the Nascent Soul Realm break through and cause earth-shattering phenomena?
The master looked at him and said with a smile: "What else can I do? Naturally, I will drop a few tribulation thunders to see if you can withstand it."
The woman in white looked at the master and the apprentice and asked: "Since you are still in the Nascent Soul realm, how can you just break through the realm and attract strange phenomena from the world? I'm afraid even the elders in the academy will find it strange, right?"
The woman in white was holding a cup of tea, looking at Li Xiuyuan and talking slowly.
"Are you talking about me? I'm sorry. I seemed to be in a dream that day. Because of the night before, I fell asleep and didn't wake up until around noon."
Li Xiuyuan looked up at the Master and continued: "
The master put down the tea cup, looked at Li Xiuyuan, shook his head, and said with a smile: "I don't know how you practice. You can break through the realm in your sleep. You don't even know the movement you caused!"
"Okay. I'll be more careful next time." Li Xiuyuan seemed to have remembered something, and couldn't help but feel dizzy when he looked at the two of them. If he went by what the woman in white told the master, he would really have to stay away from the crowd when breaking through in the future.
"Were you in a dream when you broke through that day?" The expression on the woman in white's face was a little exaggerated. She looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "You actually fell asleep after such an earth-shattering breakthrough?"
Li Xiuyuan frowned slightly, looked at her and said, "I went to bed first, and then I had a dream in the broken realm... I woke up like this in the afternoon. This is what the teacher told me."
The woman in white was speechless again and spread her hands to show her innocence.
After hearing Li Xiuyuan's words, the word monster naturally appeared in the mind of the woman in white. She looked down at the tea in her hand and wondered whether she should re-evaluate the young man in front of her.
"If the true energy is attached to the string... can it cause damage to my enemies?" Li Xiuyuan ignored the surprise of the woman in white, but asked the master seriously the question that had been buried in his heart.
The master pondered for a moment and nodded slowly: "Very few practitioners attach their own Qi to the strings, because the strings are different from the Qi of the sword and are easily disturbed by the outside world and others... Of course, if your
The true energy is powerful enough, and it is undoubtedly a terrifying means of attack."
