Hou Zi went down to the first floor and said respectfully to the old cultivator who was basking in the sun with his eyes closed: "Old senior, how many swordsmanship books on the third floor can you take at most at one time?"
The old repairman didn't raise his head or open his eyes, "There's no limit! But do you think it's appropriate to take them all? Can you practice it? Those things won't give birth to babies if you take them back! Just take three or five books at a time, and come back after practicing.
Change, as long as you don’t die, these things will always be yours. What do you mean you are greedy for, and you will stop living after learning?”
Hou Zi hid his face and walked away. These words were too true. The Hidden Sword Pavilion was right here and he wouldn't run away on his own.
Returning to the third floor, I picked three sets of swordsmanship without hesitation, [Slaying Chains], [Sword without Return], and [Short Thrust].
He did not choose randomly. Just like the three sets of swordsmanship handed over to him by Wang Taoist, these six sets of swordsmanship all have one characteristic: they will move forward indomitably and will not stop until death!
The swordsmanship system has its own characteristics. During the sword fight with that sword spirit, he deeply understood one thing: Don't seek perfection first, seek perfection first, pursue extremes in a certain aspect to the end, and then turn around.
Just like what is said in Sword Jue, the art of fencing is the art of balance. If you find balance in speed, weight, movement and stillness, virtuality and reality, you will achieve great success in swordsmanship.
But there is a question of order. Learn quickly first, then learn slowly, and the order cannot be wrong. Otherwise, learning slowly first will endanger others. How stupid!
In the same way, you must first learn to be serious and then learn to be light, first learn to move and then learn to be still, first learn to be practical and then learn to be imaginary. If you do it the other way around, it will become a showpiece on the stage, which is only useful but not useful!
The foundations of these six sets of swordsmanship are fast, heavy, dynamic, solid, ruthless, spicy, black, and fierce...Wang Daoren is indeed a Quanzhen disciple. The swordsmanship he chose is very practical and is the most practical swordsmanship for novices.
After you have mastered these swordsmanship skills thoroughly, the softness of Tai Chi, the emptiness of three-point light and shadow, and the tranquility of Kunwu are the truly expert ways to practice swordsmanship.
This process will be very long, so monks can only choose a few sets of swordsmanship to practice. No one will live in killing forever, wandering between life and death every day, and no matter how lucky they are, they can't resist jumping into a river and getting their shoes wet.
But he is different, he has such an opportunity!
There are very few people who really focus entirely on these sword skills. They have a better, more practical and longer-range choice - magic!
This is a question of trade-offs, how to maximize combat effectiveness. Instead of practicing swordsmanship to a spiritual state, it is better to combine swordsmanship with magic. After all, not everyone has the talent for swords.
Hou Zi didn't know if he had any talent for swordsmanship, but he had a perfect environment to practice his swordsmanship. Wouldn't it be a pity not to use it?
He is a pragmatist. So far, the way to achieve the greatest combat effectiveness is to infinitely improve his sword skills. It's that simple.
If the Soul Realm is more suitable for the application of spells, he will choose spells without hesitation, he is so snobbish.
As for magic, he didn't even look at it. He was afraid that after watching it, he would be tempted to practice it and then follow the popular path.
According to his intuition, he must do things absolutely, otherwise there will be no future!
Moreover, time is limited, how can there be time to practice dual cultivation of magic and sword? In the end, it will just be a nondescript cultivation, being able to do everything with both hands and not being good at anything.
Deep in his heart, he still had a small selfish thought, that is, since he came to the Quanzhen Demon Sect, of course he had to learn what they were good at; as for spells, no matter how powerful the Quanzhen magic sect was, could it be as good as the Taoist sect? Wait for him.
After persisting for several years and completing the low-lying mission, wouldn't it be nice to go back to Anhe Daomen and have plenty of time to learn advanced spells?
It was a perfect plan, but the only thing he didn't expect was that he might fall into the sword pit and never get up again.
It took him three hours to complete his first skill selection in the Quanzhen Sect Hidden Sword Pavilion. This time was relatively long among all new disciples; the foundation was too weak, the realm was too low, and the time spent in practice was too long.
short.
When I came out of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, I met another acquaintance, Gu Weixin; he was with several other Taoists. He had probably finished his work and was about to leave.
He was very happy to see Hou Zi and looked very affectionate, "Junior Brother Hou, I knew you would definitely enter Quanzhen, and it turned out to be true."
Hou Ting didn't mind contacting these people. He also wanted to understand that the relationship between fellow villagers is an objective fact. Since you can't get rid of it, you can only let nature take its course, instead of avoiding it like a snake or a scorpion, which will arouse suspicion.
.
He said politely: "Senior Brother Gu, from now on I will be a cultivator in the same sect, so I need you to take good care of me."
Gu Weixin laughed loudly, "Come on, come on, let me introduce some senior brothers An He to Junior Brother Hou. We are all strangers in a foreign land, so we should move around more and support each other."
Gongchengyi, Tao Ji, and Wanshouqi are all people from Anhe who admire the style of Quanzhen Religion. Of course, only you know the truth or falsehood of this;
In this world of cultivation, cultivation is difficult, the road becomes narrower as you go up, resources are limited, and there are obstacles everywhere. It is especially difficult for casual cultivation; there is no one to belong to, future achievements are not guaranteed, and Anhe Dao Sect is not that easy to enter. They are no better than swordsmen.
Courageous, but preaching heart...
Therefore, the actual situation is that monks who are not favored by Quan Zhen in Shan Kingdom will go to Anhe to try their luck, and minor cultivators who are not favored by Anhe Taoism will go to Yan Kingdom to look for opportunities. This can be regarded as a kind of talent flow for cultivators;
Part of them are forced to make a living as a cultivator. If you say how loyal they are to the sect, it's a joke.
Loyalty requires a process, contact, adaptation, integration, sublimation... and finally the sect becomes a home.
The Quanzhen Sect also understands this very well, so it will also observe the experiences of these monks and change people's beliefs over time until they become a true Quanzhen Sword Cultivator.
"Junior Brother Hou, a few of us and I are looking for a restaurant to practice for Senior Brother Gong, why don't we go together?"
Hou Zi was surprised, "Practice it? Didn't you say that the specific allocation will be assigned after one month? It's only been a few days..."
Gu Weixin saw that several of his fellow disciples looked a little embarrassed. He knew that they were not familiar with Hou Zi, and they were a little dissatisfied with him for inviting people into the drinking party for no reason. For monks, it doesn't matter what they eat or drink, but who they get together with?
When you meet a close friend, a thousand glasses of wine is too little, and a word of caution is too much. On occasions like this, it is only natural for very familiar friends to suddenly join a stranger, even a fellow villager. Among the new disciples this time, fellow An He
But it's not just these few.
"Junior Brother Hou's roots are in the Duwei Mansion..."
Gongcheng Yi and the others suddenly realized that in the Quanzhen Sect, having a friend from the Duwei Mansion was very useful, and they might be able to help a lot at some time. The Internal Security Department of the Quanzhen Sect, even if they had just joined the sect, would not accept this.
It is also thunderous,
How can one always follow the right path in spiritual practice? A horse will not be fat if it does not eat grass at night, and a person will not be rich if he does not have external wealth. Who can guarantee that he will not commit any crimes in the future?
The few people immediately became very enthusiastic and could not help but hug each other and headed towards the most famous restaurant in Jincheng.
Exactly,
... No one has passed by the Maoyu, and the thorns are closed all day long. Happiness is born in the wine, and the luxury and leisure are seen in the situation. Friends count bamboo poles and draw pictures of thousands of mountains. How can I return home in the end? Don't think about returning to the world.
