Hou Ting remained silent, secretly alert in his heart. The smooth sailing in the past two years had given him the illusion of being invincible in the same realm, but today's battle only made him understand that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world.
When he really meets an elite disciple of the Dao Sect, his means are very poor, and he has no swordsmanship to display; and a very real problem in the practice world is, why should others face you in a real battle? Good for you?
This Taoist Amen is definitely not the most outstanding low-level disciple of the Wu Sect. Even in the Quanzhen Sect, the real elites are basically concentrated in Yujing City, and he has no chance to come into contact with him; he only dominates a small place in Yinling and controls the wind and rain. Just thinking that I am the best in the world is unacceptable.
This Taoist not only has great skills, but he also judges the situation very well, makes decisive choices, and can advance and retreat freely. There will not be only one such opponent. As he gradually deepens into the world of cultivation, such opponents are the mainstream, and he is now regarded as The battle is far from enough. It can only be said that he has reached a high level in terms of close range, but close range is not everything. As everyone's level becomes higher and higher, the middle and long distances are the key points of competition.
Constant self-reflection is the basis for a monk's continuous progress.
This night was wonderful.
Hou Zi did not focus on rushing, but found an inaccessible place nearby to meditate. He was so familiar with this place where he had lived for more than 20 years that he could touch anything he wanted to do with his eyes closed. a place.
Needless to say, he touched the gate of Zi Mansion and saw the gladiolus bud. This was the real realm. As for why it was such a plant, he was not surprised, because Jinxiu For all the monks in the mainland, the first thing that will appear in their purple mansions is this orchid grass form.
It's just that each flower enters each person's eye, and the Houzi looks like a sword, and other Taoism looks like something else; the Taoist monks look like jade, the Buddhist monks look like pagodas, and the Huncheng sect looks like bone plates that turn into blood. The teaching is regarded as the blood and soul, the dual cultivation is regarded as the connection, and so on.
In the future, as his realm gets higher and higher, this orchid grass will also grow. As for what it will grow into, that is decided by the respective Taoist traditions. For sword cultivators, the ultimate goal is a sword.
Once Gladiolus is completed, it is possible to understand the mysteries. Because the Dantian gathering has a foundation and a direction, only the spiritual power in the body can be transformed into mana. This is an important step in interfering with the Dantian.
What makes him happier than his improvement in realm is that he and Gu Jian have a mutual understanding. Even if it is still very weak now, starting this step is the most difficult. Once you have started, the only thing left is how to deepen the mutual understanding. In the end Achieve the sword consciousness to be able to control the sword freely.
There are countless possibilities.
A sword cultivator's sword knowledge is specific to a certain sword. It is usually the sword that is used most frequently, has been with its master for the longest time, kills the most people, and values it the most. It does not mean that if you know a sword, you can use it. Identifying swords; of course, with a beginning, it will be much easier for a monk to learn about other swords. This is a threshold. After passing this threshold, some illusory and mysterious things will become clear.
It's still not that the more you know swords, the better. A person's energy is limited after all. The more you know swords, the less time you will spend on each sword. For sword cultivators who pay special attention to concentration, the gains outweigh the losses. They are more willing to spend a lot of time on each sword. Maximize the potential of the sword, and then talk about other things.
When it comes to this, I am afraid that it is not something that can be achieved by the Tongxuan realm, but the Jindan or the major cultivation above the Jindan. They have a relatively longer lifespan to expand their abilities.
The iconic feature of a swordsman is the flying sword. To be able to use the flying sword, there are two basic conditions. The magic power of the Tongxuan realm produces sword consciousness. Therefore, Hou Zi now only has one condition, which will be helpful to his sword skills.
But the help is extremely limited.
Holding a sword does not require sword consciousness, because the monk's thoughts can be expressed by manipulating the sword with his hands; the significance of sword consciousness lies in letting go of the sword, when the sword flies out and becomes a flying sword.
But it's not like he can't do anything now. Before his realm reaches Tongxuan, he can deepen and consolidate his sword consciousness, and then he can refine his sword.
This is the most realistic level that a sword cultivator must go through. Every true sword cultivator actually spends most of their wealth on this. Together with their own sword, they jointly study how to change the performance of the sword. In this process
Of course, it is based on the opinions of human monks, but it is also inseparable from the consciousness of swords.
This kind of consciousness may not be expressed through language, but swordsmen can very clearly feel what kind of changes Jianqi likes and what he doesn't like? This is the conscious tendency of Jianqi starting from itself, without any emotion.
When the sword feels inappropriate, the monk must not insist on what he has seen, because the sword is telling you: you are on the way to destroy me.
Weapon refining is the basic skill of every real sword cultivator. At the very least, sword refining cannot be ambiguous. It will determine the quality of the flying sword to a certain extent. It is always good to start refining it earlier, so that you can slowly explore it.
, and in the process, the deepening of sword knowledge is completed.
It is a mutually reinforcing process, and it is also a resource-consuming process.
Hou Zi's wealth will probably fall on this, and this is a hurdle he cannot avoid; there is no way to have it both ways in the world of cultivation. Sword refining has a need for weapon-making materials, and the advanced level of Tao Xuan is in elixir.
There are requirements for medicine and other aspects, which are difficult to take into account. This is why the Quanzhen Sect does not encourage disciples to start exploring sword consciousness before they attain enlightenment.
So what if you develop sword consciousness? If you don't attain Tongxuan in your whole life, you will still be unable to escape the realm of mortals.
During the two years that Hou Zi entered the Quanzhen Sect, he basically arranged his practice according to the internal teachings of the Quanzhen Sect. This was the most satisfactory and the most helpless.
It is very important for a cultivator of his level to have someone to guide him, whether it is to worship a master or to hold regular lectures in Jincheng. He does not have the former, and he cannot go back to the latter. Therefore, the punishment of the three houses of Jincheng depends on him.
It sounds like an understatement, but in the cultivation system it is the most sinister secret move.
If you delay for a few years, you will slow down one step at a time, and eventually become a common man, unable to make waves again. This is his punishment for repeatedly taking advantage of bad people.
Fortunately, there were still two elders who gave him practical help, one was Taoist Chongling and the other was Master Yu Zhengxing.
It helped him understand a lot and avoid many detours.
After a few days of introspection, he clarified his current situation, which helped him arrange his future practice. The state of mind was first, then he practiced his sword sense, and finally he strengthened his combat skills. This was the best order, but here
