Tianci sat on the stone platform and carefully studied the sword floating in front of him. The sword was three feet and three inches long (one meter per meter), the blade was two feet and three inches long (77 cm), the hilt was one foot long (33 cm), and it had double-edged edges with six sides.
, the whole body is translucent, and there are two water lines flowing faintly in the spine of the sword; the water lines come out from the white dragon's mouth, and enter from the black dragon's mouth, going round and round, up and down.
The root of the sword is swallowed, and at the dragon's mouth, there are faint lines that cannot be seen clearly, as if they are two ancient characters.
The four dragon whiskers are intertwined with each other to form two alternating black and white sword grids (guards), which curve and extend forward along the blade.
The black and white dragon bodies are intertwined and intertwined, forming a sharp-edged sword hilt that can be held with both hands.
The middle of the hilt is slightly raised, and through the black and white dragon body, a round crystal bead is looming, which is the sword's eye (eye nail).
At the head of the sword, black and white dragon tails are intertwined, and a heart-shaped hole is curled inside, which is where the sword spike is hung.
The sword body is made of unknown material. It is neither copper nor iron, nor gold nor jade. It is transparent and clear, but extremely sharp. It can easily split rocks, break hair, and cut iron like mud.
The black and white double dragons on the hilt are lifelike. When you hold it lightly, a cool feeling goes straight to your brain. It is neither gold nor wood, and no material can be seen. It looks like two real dragons.
The most amazing thing is:
Every morning, facing the rising sun on the horizon, the sword body can be clearly seen, as if it is a transparent and sharp crystal. Various strange patterns are carved on the sword body. Although the sword body can be clearly seen, there is no shadow behind the sword.
;
In the evening, the sun sets in the west, and with the sunset, the sword body is almost completely transparent and disappears, but a clear shadow of the sword is left behind.
In the morning, there is form but no shadow; in the evening, there is shadow but no shadow.
Every night, when the stars shine, it seems like there are countless stars and moonlight gathering towards this sword.
Tianci has been studying this sword carefully for more than ten days. The more he looks at it, the more he feels that this sword is magical. Every detail and every pattern is ingenious and natural. It is definitely not an ordinary thing in the world. Tianci stared at the sword while touching his chin and thinking.
:
"I have to find a set of swordsmanship to practice later. Such a good sword cannot be left idle!"
Ignoring the sword suspended in front of me, I picked up the three pieces of milky white jade in my hand and looked at it carefully. At that time, the sword scabbard turned into powder, leaving only these three pieces of jade of different sizes: one was about ten centimeters long, flat and round,
The hollow and transparent piece should be the mouth of the scabbard; one piece is about five centimeters long, also flat, round, hollow and transparent, and should be the sword guard in the middle of the scabbard; the last piece is about the same size as the head of the scabbard, except that one end is rounded and slightly pointed.
Hollow but not transparent, it is the sword mark on the top of the scabbard.
"We already have the scabbard, sword guard, and sword mark, but we still need to make a scabbard! For such a beautiful sword, the scabbard cannot be careless!~"
Tianci thought for a while, then picked up the Dragon Subduing Wood next to it. The blue-gray eight-edge bark was wrapped in a dark red wooden heart:
"The color matches perfectly, but the eight-sided dragon subduing wood is not a vulgar thing. It has been with me for so long. Isn't it a pity to split it into a scabbard?!"
Looking at the sword suspended in front of him and the Dragon Subduing Wood in his hand, Tianci couldn't make up his mind for a moment.
Putting down the falling dragon wood and continuing the sword ahead, Tianci suddenly remembered that his senior brother Jingyong Zhenren once said:
"Immortal magic weapons usually require identification of their owners. Some require special exercises and spell operations to identify their owners, and some require blood sacrifices to identify their owners..."
Tianci immediately stretched out his hand to hold the sword, and lightly swiped the middle finger of his right hand. The jade-hard right hand finger was cut open; blood flowed out and dripped on the sword. The sword did not react at all, and then moved towards the dragon's head and mouth, the sword
A few drops of blood were dripped on the handle, dragon beard, and dragon tail, but the sword still didn't respond. Tianci was a little disappointed, but unwilling to give in, he looked up and down the sword carefully. When he saw the bulge in the middle of the hilt, the crystal surrounded by the belly of the two dragons
When the ball hit the ball, an idea flashed in Tianci's mind. He laid the sword horizontally and controlled his middle finger. The blood flowed into the sword eye and crystal ball along the gap in the dragon's belly. The moment the blood touched the crystal ball, the white light of the sword flourished, shining in all directions, completely destroying Tianci.
Surrounded, Tianci suddenly felt dizzy, and blood flowed rapidly along his fingers towards the sword. The sword in his hand was like a hungry beast, devouring the blood crazily, even unable to stop it at all.
I don’t know how long it took, but my hazy consciousness gradually woke up, and the sword in my hand returned to its original appearance. However, the originally vague water line in the sword body now turned into a red line, and the sword eye in the hilt·
The crystal beads also turned blood red. Tianci moved his right hand slightly, and the sword rose up, as if the sword had become a part of his body.
Consciousness entered the sword along the palm of his hand, Tianci suddenly stirred, and a paragraph of text, light and shadow clearly appeared in Tianci's mind:
"Chengying?! It turns out this sword is called Chengying!"
Upon closer inspection, the light, shadow, and words reflected in my mind turned out to be the sword's secrets and sword techniques.
The more I look at it, the happier I am. Apart from a simple fire control technique, Tianci now lacks offensive and defensive skills.
Chengying, one of the legendary ancient divine swords, is now lucky enough to obtain this divine sword, and it also has the following skills:
"Very good!"
He suddenly stood up happily, wishing he could learn the sword skills immediately. However, Tianci, who had just stood up, suddenly saw darkness in his eyes, and his body fell straight backwards.
Excessive bleeding.
Two days later, Tianci slowly opened his eyes, looked at the stars in the sky, tried hard to regain consciousness, and slowly sat up:
"Misfortune lies on the back of blessing, and fortune lies on the back of misfortune! As expected! People, don't get carried away."
While shaking his tired body, he talked to himself.
Meditate and pranayama.
After his physical strength recovered, Tianci began to study Chengying Sword Technique carefully.
According to the text and light and shadow records, Chengying Sword Technique is divided into two parts: nine levels of sword techniques and thirteen styles of sword techniques.
There are nine levels of sword art in total. According to Tianci's current situation, he can barely practice the first level.
There are thirteen sword techniques in total: strike, stab, split, block, draw, bring, lift, cut, point, press, collapse, stir, and wash.
There are nine levels of sword tactics, one level is stronger than the next; there are only thirteen sword techniques, and each style has four to five variations. According to the different methods of spiritual power operation of each level of sword techniques, the power of the thirteen sword techniques,
The effects also vary.
In other words, the most important thing about the Shadow Sword is the improvement of the user's own realm, that is, the control of spiritual power. The stronger the control, the stronger the power of the sword.
The nine levels and thirteen postures seem simple, but if you study them carefully, you will find:
'It is as skillful as it is clumsy, its swordsmanship is infinitely variable, extremely strange, and extremely powerful.'
According to the sword formula, the sword can be divided into three forms, and the functions of each form are different:
There is form but no shadow, there is shadow but no shadow.
The visible and invisible destroys the visible, the invisible and the shadow destroys the spirit of nothingness. Form and shadow merge into one, and both form and spirit are destroyed.
The first two forms can be easily switched and used as long as the sword recognizes its master. The form of 'returning to nature through the integration of form and shadow' requires the sword skills to be practiced. It depends on each person's opportunity.
Tianci flew down to the lake, held the sword, and waved lightly at a small tree. The small tree was chopped in half! He switched forms and chopped at another small tree. The small tree was intact, but the small tree was chopped to the upper part.
The first half quickly withered and died, while the lower half remained intact.
"I see!"
Tianci immediately practiced the thirteen postures of light and shadow slowly. The trajectory of the sword posture seemed simple, but it was extremely consuming. The more he practiced, the more extraordinary the sword technique became.
Practice swordsmanship, learn swordsmanship, and confirm each other.
A month later, Tianci sat cross-legged on the stone platform, carefully pondering and recalling the spiritual energy movement of each move. After more than a month of continuous practice, he finally mastered the secret of the spiritual energy movement of the first layer, the Thirteen Forms of Chengying.
Slowly opening his eyes, he looked at the sword floating in front of him with joy. He turned around and picked up the eight-sided dragon-subduing wood next to him, controlled the shadow-bearing sword, and slashed at the dragon-subduing wood without hesitation...
Soon after, a dark red wooden scabbard was suspended next to the sword Chengying. The milky white jade sheath head, sword guard, and sword mark were embedded into it, and a perfect scabbard was officially completed.
Sheathing the sword, they looked seamless and perfect, as if they were born for each other.
Tianci admired his masterpiece with great satisfaction. After a moment, he held the sword and slowly flew out of the mountain.
It's time to go home and take a look.
According to previous phone calls and text messages, Miss Mu Yi has been waiting for him at home for a long time.
