Hou Zi was introduced to Jianfu's outer pavilion. It was in a wealthy area in Jincheng. The environment was elegant and pleasant, and it was not far from Jianfu. Of course, the only thing that made him complain was that until now, he didn't know about this sword.
Which area does the government refer to?
The outer buildings are all single-person courtyards. This is not a luxury, but the profession of monks attaches great importance to personal privacy. It is impossible to coexist with others in the practice life. This has nothing to do with realm.
The road, in the final analysis, is walked alone.
The yard is not big enough for sword fighting; there are two rooms for practicing and meditating. It can be seen that the Quanzhen Sect is very practical in this regard. Apart from maintaining the basic requirements for practitioners, there are no other furnishings. With him in Anhe
The accommodation conditions at the Shendu Gym are completely incomparable.
You know, here he is a quasi-disciple; in the capital of God, he is a prisoner waiting for crime. Can you also see the difference in financial resources between the two parties?
It was already dark when I checked in, the surrounding courtyards were silent, and no one was paying attention. It was just another person who wanted to join the sect and obtain resources for practice.
Hou Zi was very satisfied. At this point, he had accomplished what Taoist Chongling told him. All that was left was how to improve himself. This was the only issue he had to consider at the moment.
After finishing evening classes, he took out the bamboo slip given to him by Taoist Wang. This thing should also be his standard option after he started to get started. Now it is just one month ahead of schedule, so it is not a violation.
When monks reach the Qi Entraining Realm, they can come into contact with the real methods of the world of cultivation. For Taoist sects, they can try various basic spells. For demonic sects like Quanzhen Sect, sword striking is the main direction.
Of course, it is not absolute. In fact, every Taoist disciple carries a long sword and learns the most basic self-defense swordsmanship. The Quanzhen Demon Sect does not just ignore spells. It is inevitable for everyone to master a few small spells. Again, the same sentence
The words have different emphasis, but they are not absolute.
The true meaning of the direction of magic is that there is a master and a second order.
The three sets of swordsmanship are [Purge Zhongjun Sword], [Yanhui Thirteen Slashes], and [Cross Quick Sword].
He is also considered a master of swordsmanship, and his first impression of these three sets of swordsmanship is that they are inexplicably fierce.
It is not at all a Taoist swordsmanship such as Tai Chi Sword, Bagua Sword, Seven Star Sword, Wandering Dragon Sword, etc. that can be used for both practical combat and health maintenance. It is indeed a demon sect, even the basic swordsmanship has ordinary characteristics, with the sole purpose of killing people.
He is no stranger to swordsmanship. In fact, every cultivator is no stranger to swords. As far as weapons are concerned, the sword is the undisputed number one weapon in the world of cultivation. Swords account for 90%, and other weapons combined account for 90%.
One percent is the actual situation in the world of cultivation.
He is able to defeat the enemy and shows his dignity. He travels all over the mountains and has no choice but to carry a sword. He can't carry a machete or a sledgehammer, right? What does it look like!
The sword can be popularized because it is elegant and goes well with spiritual practice; but in Quanzhen Sect, there is no elegance at all, but its fierceness is endlessly exploited.
Is this going astray? Or is it on the right track? No one knows.
Hou Zi was good at swordsmanship not because he was devoted to swords, but because he was an inevitable choice of a criminal family. To subdue bandits and murderers, swords were not suitable, and swords were more shocking. This was the tradition of Gongmen.
Of course, these so-called traditions are only for the people. In the world of cultivation, tradition is another matter.
He is no stranger to swords. The difference between the two is just the focus of weapons and the focus of use. Everyone with sword skills can certainly use swords, and sword masters can certainly use swords. There is no essential difference.
Unless he changed to a long spear, he would have to start from scratch. He was secretly glad that the Quanzhen Sect was not a demon body sect. If he replaced it with a big spear, a big fork and a big stick, he would really have to kill someone.
Below Tongxuan, mastering weapons is very important. At this time, they cannot use spells without restriction, their mana is limited, and their methods are poor. Weapons are needed to make up for the gaps in battles. The lower the level, the more so.
For example, in Hou Zi's current Qi-entraining stage, if he fights, he will focus on weapons, and occasionally use magic spells; when it comes to the Bigu Linking Bridge stage, he may focus on spells, and occasionally use a move to split Huashan?
Probably so.
His sword was given to him by some of the elders in Jiangyou. It was not a magic weapon, but a top-quality ordinary weapon. The bookworm boasted about it and even wrote a poem about it. He praised it so much that it was like nothing in the sky or on the earth. He thought he was a fool.
?
It is still buried underground, because wine will naturally mellow when buried underground, and a sword will inevitably rust when buried underground; a truly good sword must contain special precious materials that are only available in the world of cultivation, and that is another price, which a few poor people in Jiangyou can't bear to part with.
The only thing that satisfied him about this sword was the weight. It was a heavy sword, which was more suitable for him who was used to the weight of the sword. If it was too light and he was not used to it, it always felt like he was catching a straw.
He was not in a hurry to practice moves. Things like moves were something that only beginners would value, and were not the main point.
The key point is, straight thrust, downward chop, reverse lift... When you do this basic movement thousands of times every day and become proficient in it, looking at the moves is just the icing on the cake.
Your opponent is not just a piece of wood. How can he still allow you to follow a routine? Everything needs to be adaptable. He is accomplished in swordsmanship. He is very experienced in this area and does not need anyone to teach him.
The biggest difficulty for him is how to attach the weak spiritual power in his body to the sword. This is the biggest difference between a monk's sword and a mortal's sword.
It is difficult to control the spiritual power in the Qi-entraining realm, because the Dantian is empty, and all the spiritual energy is used to nourish the flesh, blood and bones of the body. It is not easy to control it, which requires him to constantly adapt.
He still had to break through the entrainment period as soon as possible, otherwise he would be in danger when he went out and his strength would be worrying; he knew very well that his future opponents would no longer be those ordinary mortals, their opponents had changed.
After experiencing the initial slight discomfort, he quickly became familiar with the stabbing method of the sword. This is the advantage of those who often handle swords. The rest is a matter of proficiency. There is no other way but to practice diligently.
But he is not yet able to swing the sword tens of millions of times, bringing the Qi with him every time. He can only swing it a hundred times before the Qi is exhausted. This is a gap in his foundation. The long sword cannot emit sword energy, not even an inch.
In the future, we can only keep the energy flowing in the sword to make the sword sharper and stronger.
Everything must start from the basics.
He also knows that with his strength, he may be a lucky guy in the eyes of his neighbors, so he rarely goes out or makes casual visits. The world is very snobbish, so why go out and feel uncomfortable?
For several days in a row, I spent most of my time in this small courtyard replenishing myself, ignoring this new city, and working hard to complete primitive accumulation.
At twenty-three years old, time is really tight. Otherwise, how can we deal with the ups and downs in the future?
...The wind and dust of heaven and earth are like three-foot swords, and the years of rivers and lakes are a poem. From now on, I am waiting for the return journey, and the beauty is in turmoil.
