Chapter 95 The Sword of the Great River 5
On the fifth day of the flash flood, when the turbid river water was about to turn clear, the iron sword in Li Ye's hand was finally defeated by the gravel in the flood and broke into two pieces.
At this time, Li Ye could fight in the torrent for an hour without getting hurt.
The old ape looked at Li Ye who was walking back to the wooden shed carrying a broken sword, and said with a smile: "This is a sword made by a mortal after all. It cannot withstand the tempering of the breath of heaven and earth."
Li Ye looked at the broken sword in his hand, sighed, and murmured: "What should we do? Why don't we go into the water with a bamboo sword and fight for our lives?"
The old ape shook his head, took the broken sword from Li Ye's hand, pondered for a moment, and showed joy on his face. "You have mastered the trick of using the sword in flowing water. Next, you don't need to go to the river to practice.
, it’s time to change your physical body to another place.”
After speaking, he turned his head and looked in the direction of his cave.
Li Ye was stunned and blurted out: "Senior, you don't want me to practice in the cold pool next to the entrance of your cave, right? Only your bones and arms can withstand the erosion of that waterfall. Can I withstand it?"
"How do you know if you haven't tried it? You, the Poxu monk in the cave, also practiced there. Are you afraid because you are young?" The old ape wanted to anger Li Ye.
"If you want your physical body to withstand more pressure and think about higher achievements in the future, then conquer the water of the cold pool."
Li Ye led Xiaobai and followed the old ape from the shed on the cliff to the pool under the waterfall.
Looking at the flowing river water, Li Ye felt worried and looked at the old ape with a sad face: "If this junior continues like this, I will probably never be able to get out of this cold pool again!"
The old ape didn't speak, he just opened his old eyes and looked at him quietly.
Xiaobai knew that he had no business to speak, so he roared twice towards the pool.
Li Ye spread his hands, looked at the old ape and said, "This junior's sword has been broken. If I go into the pool empty-handed, I'm afraid that a gravel flying down from upstream will kill me."
The old ape seemed to have expected that he would say this, and without replying, he pushed hard with his feet and jumped into the pool with a bang. After a while, he emerged from the water again, holding a sword-like stone in his hand.
.
He handed the stone sword in his hand to Li Ye and said with a smile: "I didn't have a long sword back then, so I was just as worried as you. Later I touched this guy in the pond and tried it very skillfully, so I kept using it to repair it.
After practicing for several years, I put it back to its original place until I no longer practiced in the pool. Now, I will lend it to you for use."
Li Ye took the stone sword and felt his hand sink. He looked at the old ape and said, "Senior, this stone sword may weigh forty or fifty kilograms, right?"
The old ape smiled and said: "That's about right. This doesn't suit your wishes. Can you use this to practice your sword-wielding ability?"
Li Ye nodded and said: "That's exactly what I meant. Previously, my husband taught me how to practice lifting a heavy weight as if it were a heavy weight. Firstly, because I am thin and weak, and secondly, because I don't have an epee in my hand. Ru Ling just wanted to understand what it means to lift a heavy weight like a heavy one.
The sword intention."
"Senior, please come back. I want to try this light-weight sword intention alone. I am not in a hurry to go into the pond to practice." Li Ye cupped his fists towards the old ape and said.
The old ape looked at Li Ye and nodded: "It's good not to be impatient or impatient. I can't guide you in swordsmanship. You need to understand it on your own. I can only tell you that I didn't regard it as a sword when I first practiced it.
The sword, I just think of it as an object that can split the flow of water."
He turned around and asked Xiaobai to follow him away from the edge of the pond and toward the rock cliff where he lived.
Xiaobai looked back and glanced at it. Li Ye waved to it and said, "Go find something to eat and leave me alone."
He walked to the edge of the pool, sat cross-legged, raised the stone sword in his hand over his head, closed his eyes, and used his consciousness to perceive the flowing river water and the difference between the heavy sword in his hand and the previous iron sword.
Put your condensed consciousness outside and carefully experience the fierce water turbulence within five feet around you, the gravel caught in the water flow, the water droplets splashing in the air, and sit down deep on the ground.
Sand, gravel, water, and soil are all covered by his own consciousness.
In his spiritual consciousness, he transformed himself into holding a sword like a dragon. The sword light was displayed in the pond, and the ferocious waterfall was like a swimming dragon galloping around wantonly.
Protecting his body with his "Phaseless Dharma Body", the heavy sword in his hand tears the pond water with the power of his physical body. The random swordsmanship that does not contain any true energy contains terrifying and unpredictable power.
Li Ye used it for a long time, and even the swimming dragons transformed into water droplets in the air completely disappeared, leaving only an ordinary stone sword.
The sword swings, but it becomes more and more unpredictable. Sometimes it is slow, sometimes it is fast, and sometimes it is faster than the flowing water, but it is as light as a heavy weight.
Practitioners usually practice by breaking the elixir and transforming into a baby. Because the spirit of pregnancy and nourishment reaches a high enough level, the spirit can touch the heaven and earth, the consciousness can be released, and the unity of heaven and man can be achieved.
Only a few practitioners in the Nascent Soul Realm can achieve this.
Only when one reaches the unity of heaven and man can one understand the way of heaven. Over time, one day, one's heart will finally realize and understand a hint of the meaning of heaven. Then this hint of meaning of heaven can be turned into sword intention.
When Li Ye was building the foundation, he had already comprehended the world and developed his own spiritual consciousness.
He used an iron sword to carve scriptures on the stone wall behind the wooden house, then practiced swordsmanship with Mu Mu's Feiye, and then fought between life and death with the power of his spiritual consciousness in a fierce mountain torrent.
His life was hanging in a sword. Under these extreme opportunities, in a special state where his mind was completely free, he mastered the sword's intention.
A kind of sword intention that only belongs to him.
Withdrawing his spiritual consciousness, Li Ye laughed loudly, took off his linen clothes, put away his shoes, held his heavy sword, and walked step by step towards the splashing pool.
With heavy steps, he walked to the middle of the pool. The rushing water hit his thin body, and with a bang he was thrown to the ground on the rocks in the cold pool. Bone-piercing pain spread throughout his body.
Now turn on the fifth level of the "Phaseless Dharmakaya", the Danyuan Qi in the Dantian rapidly circulates in the twelve main meridians, protecting the meridians of the whole body, let go of the consciousness, and swing the sword into the flowing water.
And go.
The stone sword was blocked by the water flow and was much slower than when he swung the iron sword in the mountain torrent. However, due to the reaction force of the water flow, the speed of retracting the stone sword was much faster.
Li Ye was startled, and a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind. At this moment, he forgot to understand the broken stones and branches carried by the water flow. He just kept waving the stone epee in his hand, slashing at the turbulent water above his head.
go.
Ten times...a hundred times...a thousand times I slashed out the heavy sword in my hand. No matter what was carried in the turbulence on its head, I only slashed out the heavy sword in my hand.
I can defeat ten thousand enemies with one force. No matter how many troops there are, I can defeat them with just one sword strike.
Gradually, he felt that the stone sword in his hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds. It became heavier and heavier, and he could hardly hold it anymore, and he wanted to let go.
He finally realized what it means to be extremely heavy and to lift things lightly.
When he was about to give up, there was a slight change in the essence of his Dantian, and a new wave of true energy gathered in his meridians, allowing his arm that could hardly hold the heavy sword to gain strength.
It turns out that in this turbulent pool, the cultivation of the true energy in the body, the impact on the Dantian meridians... is an all-round improvement, especially when he has just broken through to the second level of the Golden Elixir, his all-round improvement makes Li Ye even more...
Immerse yourself in it.
After persisting for nearly half an hour, he finally lost his strength and let the rapid waterfall rush out of the pool and float to the shore of the cold pool.
He got up like a dead dog and lay on his back on the pebbles on the shore. Although all the energy in his body had been exhausted, his heart couldn't help but feel happy.
I thought back then that I could practice in this turbulent pool with the skills that Po Xu monk had practiced in Fangcun Mountain and the skills that the old ape had practiced for hundreds of years. Now, with the second level of seven-year-old golden elixir, I could actually practice in this mountain torrent.
Having resisted tenaciously for half an hour in the turbulence that just passed by is indeed something one can be proud of.
The old ape standing on the cave looked at Li Ye lying by the pool, and his heart was very complicated. He originally thought that Li Ye would go in and stay for a while before running out, but he didn't expect that he actually persisted for a long time.
hours.
At that moment, he bowed his body, jumped off the cliff, and came to the edge of the pool. He picked up Li Ye who was lying on the shore with one hand, picked up his clothes and shoes on the ground with the other, and turned around and walked towards the waterfall.
Xiao Bai on the stone cliff was nibbling some fruit when he saw the old ape carrying Li Ye up the mountain. He also ran down the stone platform and towards the woods on the mountain.
The old ape carried Li Ye, who was like a dead dog, back to the shed in the woods, and threw him on the deck chair. He looked at him and said, "I really didn't expect you to be able to persist for so long. It's a miracle."
Li Ye, who was lying on the bamboo chair, changed into a comfortable position and did not immediately reply to Lao Yuan's words.
The warm sunshine slanted in and shone on his armor-clad body.
"I'm having a great time today. I want to roast some meat to entertain you. Xiaobai, take advantage of the nice weather to catch a pheasant to entertain your senior." Li Ye turned over so that the sun could shine on the other side of his body.
"I have to prepare it in advance, marinate it and bake it carefully for you to eat at night."
Xiaobai roared twice, expressing strong protest against Li Ye. However, it was also a foodie. With a sway of its head, it jumped out of the shed and ran towards the slope opposite the mountain stream.
After resting for a long time with his eyes closed, Li Ye reluctantly opened his eyes, looked at the old ape lying on the bamboo chair and said: "It is really not easy to practice in this pool of water, it is ten times more difficult than practicing in the river. Junior, this
It's just fighting with your life, it's not something that practitioners do."
The lying old ape turned over and turned his back to the sunlight streaming in from outside the shed. "At your age, you have the opportunity to practice in this turbulent snow water. How many people in the world can do that?"
Li Ye nodded feebly, touched the countless red dots on his body and said, "There are too many gravels trapped in the water. If it weren't for the special skills practiced by this junior, he would have died long ago."
"Fortunately, by chance, I actually realized a glimmer of sword intention. Although it is still in its infancy, I have already figured out the way. I can continue to practice according to this method in the future."
"You actually understood the meaning of the sword? How is this possible? How long have you been practicing swordsmanship? You didn't even conquer this pool of water, and you realized the meaning of the sword?" The old ape raised his head, and he was shocked.
"Speaking of which, you may not believe it. I originally wanted to conquer the pool in this waterfall, but while fighting the river water, I suddenly thought of why I wanted to conquer it. As long as it can't conquer me."
"The gentleness in the river is like my Mu Mu's little hands; the coldness in the river is like my husband's seriousness; the fierceness in the pool of the waterfall is like Shura in the endless hell."
"It's just that whether it's gentle water or ferocious water, in front of me, I only need to cut it off with one sword, as long as the sword cuts off the current."
"No matter how long I practice and how high my skills are, I will never be able to completely cut off the water of this river. I just need to cut it off when I want to cut it off. This is my sword intention."
Li Ye's own sword of the river, Ruoshui Sword Intent.
The old ape suddenly sat up from the bamboo chair, looked at Li Ye with clear eyes, and murmured: "How is it possible? I have been thinking about how to conquer the pool under the waterfall all my life, but I always
It can only be a moment of conquest, but it can never be as good as I want."
"It turns out that the problem lies here. The so-called conquest only needs to be noticed when my heart comes to it. Why should I care whether it is always for my use? How can the power of heaven and earth be conquered by all living beings like us?"
"Hahahaha! I didn't expect that I have been practicing hard all my life, but I am not as capable of understanding as young as Mr. Xiao. It is true that there is a before and after for entering the Tao, and there is no fixed time for enlightenment. God's will! God's will."
"It's a blessing for the old ape to meet the little gentleman!" The old ape sighed again.
"Meeting the old gentleman is also a blessing that this junior has cultivated for three lifetimes!" Li Ye replied respectfully.
One person and one ape are not good teachers and helpful friends, but they are better than good teachers and helpful friends.
Li Ye's falling leaf sword technique has not been able to carve even a single stroke on the falling leaves to this day, but he has understood his own sword intention.
