Liang Yan felt happy when he heard this. After all, although this place was full of spiritual energy, he didn't want to stay here forever. He still had a glimmer of hope and wanted to find a way to escape from the underworld.
"Uncle, how long will it take for such an opportunity to appear?"
"I can't say for sure." Gu Zhiyu shook his head and said: "I have been trapped here for no more than twenty years. During this period, there were a total of two such opportunities, and the last time was just two years ago."
"So this disciple will have to stay here for at least seven or eight years."
Gu Zhiyu saw that he looked a little depressed and couldn't help but smile: "There are many monks in Hell who have not found a way out for so many years, so why are you in a hurry? In fact, your first priority now is to improve your own strength, otherwise even if you find a way out,
If you don't know how to escape from Hell, others may take advantage of you because of your lack of strength."
After hearing this, Liang Yan's face became solemn, and his irritable mood gradually returned to calm. He saluted Gu Zhiyu and said:
"Thank you for your teaching, uncle!"
"Um"
Gu Zhiyu nodded with satisfaction and said: "This place is full of spiritual energy. You can practice here with peace of mind. If you have any questions about the sword, you can ask me at any time."
Liang Yan readily agreed to this. He had always been on the road of swordsmanship as Yu Yu alone. Now that he finally met a senior swordsman who was also a master of his sect, he naturally wanted to ask for more advice.
In the following days, Liang Yan lived in the bamboo forest and began to practice with concentration.
There is abundant spiritual energy here, the environment is quiet, and you don’t have to worry about the disturbances from the outside world. It is indeed an excellent place for cultivation.
Liang Yan is also a person who has no distractions. Coupled with his supreme Taoist foundation, his cultivation will naturally advance by leaps and bounds.
On this day, Liang Yan was practicing swordsmanship in the bamboo forest when he suddenly heard a cough from behind him.
He hurriedly put away his sword skills, turned around and saw Gu Zhiyu holding a bamboo pole, frowning slightly, standing not far from him.
"Uncle Gu, what a joke!" Liang Yan said, cupping his hands.
Gu Zhiyu shook his head and did not answer. Instead, he took a step forward and pushed the bamboo pole in his hand forward.
With just this push, the sword intent on the bamboo pole suddenly burst out, and it was in front of Liang Yan in an instant.
"It's this move again, such a fast sword!"
He only had time to think about it before the bamboo pole was already in front of his neck, leaving him no time to think.
Liang Yan had no choice but to use the "Dispersion Method" of Xinwu Deyi Technique to slightly dissipate the sword radiance on the bamboo pole. At the same time, he pinched the sword skills in his right hand sharply, tilted the Mayfly Sword upwards, and connected with the sword.
The bamboo poles collided together.
There was a crisp sound, and the bamboo pole was cut into two pieces by the Mayfly Sword, and Liang Yan also took dozens of steps back before taking a breath.
Although he had only passed one move, his face was already dripping with sweat, which shows how much pressure Gu Zhiyu brought!
When Gu Zhiyu saw that the bamboo pole was broken, his expression did not change at all. With a move of his left hand, he took another bamboo pole from the nearby bamboo forest.
Whoosh!
This time the bamboo pole moved faster and faster, and a white sword light bloomed from it, faintly trying to pierce the darkness above the bamboo forest and illuminate the turbid world.
Although he knew that this was just an ordinary sparring match and that the other party could not really kill him, Liang Yan was always frightened every time he faced Gu Zhiyu's sword moves.
Because the sword move is ruthless and a murderous move. Although Gu Zhiyu can control it freely, the murderous intention brought by the sword light is not fake at all.
"go!"
Liang Yan suppressed the panic in his heart, and with a change of sword technique in his hand, the mayfly sword galloped out, turning into a green horse that was hundreds of feet long, like a long river of sword energy.
When Gu Zhiyu saw this scene, his frown did not relax. Instead, he shook his head slightly.
The sword technique in his hand also changed, and the bamboo pole shot up through the air and pierced straight into the long blue river.
The two swords intersected, and in just a few breaths, the Mayfly Sword Gang completely shattered, and countless green streams of light scattered down, as if there was a heavy rain.
"Your sword moves are strong but not nimble enough. Wood-type swordsmanship is not about fighting bravely and ruthlessly. It must be nimble and free, and it must be endless and endless to achieve superior swordsmanship." Gu Zhiyu's face was serious.
said.
Liang Yan was standing there blankly at the moment, looking at the two flying swords floating above, his eyes full of doubts and confusion.
"Your sword is a hundred meters long, and it seems to be magnificent. It is easy to deal with some monks whose magical power is not as good as your own. But if you meet an opponent whose magical power is equal to yours, it will be easy for others to find flaws, and eventually defeat you.
The Jian Gang!"
When Liang Yan heard this, he suddenly realized: "Master, do you want me to compress the sword?"
"good!"
Gu Zhiyu nodded appreciatively and said: "If you can condense the sword to within ten feet without losing its own sword intent, then you can fight with my bamboo leaf sword. If you can,
Take a step further and condense the sword steel into a square inch, and you will not be far away from cultivating the sword pill!"
"I see, my disciple has learned the lesson!" Liang Yan bowed respectfully.
"No need!" Gu Zhiyu waved his hand and said, "Today I will give you some instruction on your swordsmanship, and use the sword move you created yourself, so that my uncle can take a look at it for you."
Liang Yan nodded, pinched the sword technique in his hand, and put the Mayfly Sword into his dantian. Then he patted the storage bag on his waist, and a purple electric light shot out from it.
"I'm sorry, uncle."
As soon as Liang Yan finished speaking, the Purple Thunder Tianyin Sword shot through the air, just like a mortal swordsman using thunder and lightning as his sword to cut a brilliant arc in mid-air.
Gu Zhiyu nodded slightly. With a wave of his hand, a strong wind blew up in the field. Countless bamboo leaves gathered towards him, turned into countless sharp blades, and struck with the Purple Thunder Tianyin Sword.
.
This time, Gu Zhiyu was very patient and did not defeat Liang Yan's sword moves as soon as he came up.
The two of them fought quickly, and the momentum was not very violent, but the area within a few miles was filled with their sword intent and sword energy. Even if a monk from the Juyuan Realm accidentally entered this place, he would probably be killed in an instant.
into powder.
Liang Yan tried his best and fought the man in front of him for more than twenty moves. In the end, a piece of bamboo leaf cut off the purple thunder on his sword, and he had to abandon the sword and admit defeat.
"Uncle, this sword technique is so weird. It's just a few bamboo leaves, why can't I chop them into pieces?" Liang Yan said with confusion on his face.
"This is the Taoist Xuanzong swordsmanship that I learned in Xianzhou, Antarctica. It's called 'Tai Qing Sword Ribbon'. These seem to be just ordinary bamboo leaves, but they have been turned into 'Sword Ribbons' by me. They are not like you."
The realm can be broken into pieces." Gu Zhiyu said calmly.
"There is also this kind of swordsmanship. Using the sword as a talisman and everything as a sword?" Liang Yan said thoughtfully.
"You kid, you're pretty good at it!" Gu Zhiyu laughed and said, "But the sword technique you created doesn't seem to be simple. In addition to our Yungang Sect's "Flying Thunder God Sword Technique", it seems that there are also
Is there a more profound swordsmanship in it?"
When Liang Yan arrived here, he didn't hide anything. He immediately raised his hand and said, "Master's guess is correct. This 'Three Jue Thunder Sword' technique was created by the disciple based on the three swordsmanship he learned."
After hearing this, Gu Zhiyu frowned slightly and said: "Swordsmanship can vary by a thousand miles, and the luck methods of different swordsmanship are also very different. How can you integrate them together?"
"this"
Faced with this problem, Liang Yan hesitated for a moment, but in the end he did not hide it, but chose to tell the truth: "Returning to the master, the reason why the disciple was able to comprehend the 'Three Jue Thunder Sword' is because of a
Swordsmanship."
"A sword technique?" Gu Zhiyu said in confusion: "You really confused me. What does a sword technique have to do with your own moves?"
"Because this swordsmanship has no sword moves, only sword intention, and the sword moves must be understood by yourself!"
"Is there such a swordsmanship?" Gu Zhiyu asked in surprise.
Liang Yan nodded. He did not choose to hide the Wuxiang Sword Sutra because Ning Bugui had never told him not to pass it on to others. He only asked him not to tell others that he learned the sword technique from the Evil Doctor Valley.
Learned there.
As for the "Shadowless Sword Sutra", he really has too many doubts. After all, he has not been involved in cultivation for a long time and has come into contact with very few senior sword cultivators. Now he finally met such a sect senior.
Naturally, I should seize the opportunity to ask him for advice.
Gu Zhiyu also became interested at this moment, and the two of them sat on the ground and began to study this sword technique.
Back then, when Ning Bugui performed magic in the mid-air with the rays of light in his sleeves, those runes and shadows fell into Ah-Dai's eyes as the "Mysterious Scripture of Ten Thousand Transformations", and in Liang Yan's eyes they fell into the "Shadowless Sword Scripture"
》.
Therefore, there is no mental formula in the "Shadowless Sword Sutra". Liang Yan could only describe the memory in his mind, and then Gu Zhiyu used the bamboo sword to deduce and test the sword.
Both of them are geniuses in the art of swordsmanship. Gu Zhiyu was born hundreds of years earlier than him, and he has learned the true meaning of the Xuanmen Sword Sect. Naturally, his vision of swordsmanship is much broader than his.
However, Liang Yan has been practicing "Tao Sword Classic" for more than 20 years, and some of his views on swordsmanship are also new, which sometimes makes Gu Zhiyu find everything new.
Both of them are swordsmaniacs, and they discussed this swordsmanship endlessly, without taking a break for more than ten days in a row.
As the discussion deepened, Liang Yan felt that he discovered a new world. Under Gu Zhiyu's explanation, many things he had not understood before were suddenly understood, and he vaguely understood the true meaning of this swordsmanship.
This swordsmanship deduction lasted for seventeen days. On the morning of the seventeenth day, Gu Zhiyu came back to his senses from his sword-mad state, and sighed with some emotion: "I didn't expect that there would be such a shocking thing.
His swordsmanship, if he hadn’t heard it with his own ears, Gu wouldn’t have believed it.”
Liang Yan's heart was not at peace either. When Ning Bugui preached, there was no formula and no one could explain it. With his state of mind, he could only understand the tip of the iceberg. Fortunately, he met Uncle Gu and he was able to understand this today.
Swordsmanship.
Although the teachings have not been passed on to Liu Er, the premise is that he can master this sword technique. Now he and Gu Zhiyu discuss swordsmanship together, and finally let him know the true meaning of "The No-Phase Sword Sutra".
"It turns out that there is a way to control multiple flying swords at the same time." Liang Yan still didn't finish his meaning and murmured to himself.
You must know that when practicing swordsmanship, human swordsmen almost always only practice one flying sword, because when fighting, they need to combine the body and the sword, and combine their own sword heart with the flying sword, so that they can go up to the sky and the earth, and kill people invisible.
However, if you are distracted and control multiple flying swords, you will not be able to exert the strongest state of the flying swords. Instead, you will easily be defeated by your opponent one by one. In the end, the gains outweigh the losses.
"The "Wuxian Sword Sutra" does the opposite. Other sword cultivators use their hearts to control their swords, but "The Wuxiang Sword Sutra" uses their swords to control their swords. Each sword can be regarded as an independent sword.
It’s incredible that a monk can control multiple flying swords!”
Gu Zhiyu sighed with emotion, and then said slowly: "In fact, each of the thirty-six changes in the sword technique can be evolved into a sword move. There are nine sword moves in total, corresponding to the nine flying swords.
Nine is the ultimate. When this sword technique is cultivated to the highest level, the nine swords become one. There is no self and no other. This is the formlessness!"
After hearing this, Liang Yan nodded and said: "Master's explanation made the disciple suddenly enlightened. It turns out that the "Shadowless Sword Sutra" is so mysterious. I really was in Baoshan before and didn't know it."
"Haha, I want to thank you!" Gu Zhiyu said with a smile: "Uncle, I have been a swordsman all my life, and all I want in my heart is to pursue a higher realm of swordsmanship. If you hadn't informed my uncle of this swordsmanship today, I would never have known it.
I didn’t know there was such swordsmanship in the world!”
Having said this, Gu Zhiyu seemed to have made a decision, patted Liang Yan on the shoulder and said: "Good nephew, I can't take advantage of you in vain, just come with me."
After saying these words, he stood up and walked towards the depths of the bamboo forest.
