He sat cross-legged on a yellow futon, calmed his breath and calmed his mind, and soon entered a state of concentration. His heart was clear, his body was soft and comfortable, his eyes were bright, and he didn't know the passage of time.
With a thought in his mind, he began to visualize the pictures of gods and gods illuminating scriptures.
But at first glance, the light quickly faded away, and a group of darkness came up, spread quickly, and filled the air. In the blink of an eye, I was plunged into darkness that was so dark that I couldn't even see my fingers.
In this darkness, his mind felt like it was stuck in a quagmire, his thoughts were stagnant, and his feelings had become dull, as if time had gone backwards, back to the time when Zen practice had not yet been accomplished.
His concentration is so deep that his fearful thoughts are eliminated immediately throughout his life. His mind is as motionless as if he were sitting in the sky looking down at all living beings. He has no fear of life and death, and naturally has no fear of anything.
He only looked at the darkness indifferently, and looked at the abnormal situation in front of him with cold eyes, as if watching the floating clouds in the sky, sure that they would float away.
I don’t know how many years have passed, and I don’t know how long it has been.
He seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, his thoughts were fixed, he was in a trance, without any thoughts, and he let time pass by and let nature take its course.
As if a moment had passed, and an eternity had passed, the darkness began to fade away, and a soft bright light appeared. It was first a small ball like candlelight, slowly expanded, and then spread, and his whole body was like being bathed in sunlight.
It's like the heaven and earth were first formed, all things began to emerge, and thoughts began to rotate.
Li Muchan opened his eyes, sighed, and shook his head helplessly. He guessed wrong. It was useless to meditate on the Divine Illumination Sutra at noon.
There was no nectar falling, and no image could even be seen.
He frowned and pondered. The Sutra of Observing Heaven, Humans and Gods is indeed profound and difficult to fathom. Now he can only visualize the bright moon, lake water, and lotus flowers. He doesn't know how he can visualize human beings.
I can only practice for about half an hour every day, and the rest of the time is useless. It's really annoying, but also helpless.
He looked at the sky, got rid of distracting thoughts, and used his spirit to guide his energy, which circulated for two days. Suddenly, his body felt warm, as if he was soaking in a hot spring.
After untying his fingerprints, he slowly stood up, holding on to the vermilion railing and looking down at the quiet garden, and breathed a long sigh of relief. The woods were lush, dotted with rockeries, and interspersed with streams. The mountains, water, and forests were perfectly combined, elegant and exquisite.
The talent of the third girl, Mei Songwan, is indeed quite good. She is not as good as myself. Being able to practice in this quiet garden is really a great enjoyment. The status of Tianshu Academy is really different.
Early morning at Tianshu Academy
"good!"
"Not bad, this trick works great!"
"Wonderful! Wonderful! How wonderful!"
Shouts came from the courtyard, loud and cheerful, and from time to time there were clapping and applause.
Under the large locust tree in the courtyard, the sun shines slantingly on Yu Chiming. He is wearing a royal blue outfit, and his round figure is somewhat heroic.
He was leaning against the big locust tree, slapping his hands incessantly, his round face full of smiles.
Not far in front of him, swords flashed and jingled from time to time, and the two were fighting.
Cheng Xiaofeng stood beside him, also wearing a sapphire blue outfit, with his arms folded, smiling and nodding from time to time, showing an expression of admiration.
There were two people in the field, one was He Nanshan and the other was Li Muchan. Their swords were flashing, and they were going back and forth. The fight was inextricable, and there was no distinction between superior and inferior.
Li Muchan's expression was calm and his every move was simple and unpretentious. He Nanshan's sword power was surging like a huge wave.
Li Muchan's sword moves are simple and simple, and he uses the Twelve Plum Blossom Swords. Compared with He Nanshan's Zhenhai Sword, it pales in comparison. In terms of the exquisiteness of the moves, there is a real difference.
He Nanshan's sword power was so powerful that the air seemed to turn into a tide, stirred up by the sword power and surging, trying to drown Li Muchan.
But Li Muchan's sword is simple and simple, like a rock. No matter how wind blows or the waves hit it, I will stand firm and unmoving.
The two were in a stalemate for a while. Zhenhai's swordsmanship was so powerful and majestic that it seemed like it would defeat the Twelve Plum Blossom Swords at any time, but it was just a little off.
At every critical moment, Li Muchan's sword moves suddenly became faster, as fast as a bolt of lightning, and he was able to force He Nanshan back with just one strike and restore the situation.
This happened over and over again. Even though He Nanshan had a deep temper and was very angry, he was still a young man after all, and he was still annoyed. He suddenly withdrew his sword, stepped back, and hummed: "Fifth Junior Brother, let's stop here!"
Yu Chiming clapped his hands and laughed, overjoyed: "Haha, second senior brother, are you holding your breath?"
"Fourth Junior Brother, come and try?!" He Nanshan glanced at him and snorted angrily.
Yu Chiming shook his head: "I won't compete with him, it's so boring!"
Cheng Xiaofeng smiled so brightly that he said: "One move can be used all over the world. The fifth junior brother is extremely powerful. This sword is fast and fierce. It can be said that he is invincible!"
Li Muchan smiled, held a beautiful sword flower, returned the sword to its sheath, and said with a smile: "Second Senior Brother, I think my Twelve Plum Blossom Swords are not quite ready!"
"My good junior brother, can you please stop making sarcastic remarks?!" Yu Chiming chuckled and shook his head: "We are almost too embarrassed to see anyone."
Cheng Xiaofeng also shook his head and smiled.
He Nanshan sighed and smiled bitterly: "Fifth Junior Brother, I see, you don't need to practice the Twelve Plum Blossom Swords. The sword you just made is enough!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "I have no other abilities, I just have this strength."
He didn't use all his strength in that sword strike just now.
Yuchi Mingdao: "Fifth Junior Brother, your strength is so enviable! It's worth our twenty years of hard training!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Unfortunately, relying only on strength and not knowing the swordsmanship is just a target... I am not talented enough to practice swordsmanship, and my achievements will be limited after all."
Cheng Xiaofeng shook his head: "I can't see!...Look at these twelve plum blossom swords. Fifth Junior Brother, you can practice to this level in half a month, but we can't!"
"Not bad." He Nanshan slapped his forehead and said suddenly: "I remember when we practiced the Twelve Plum Blossom Swords, it took a full month!"
He looked at Li Muchan in amazement, and suddenly realized that this clumsy fifth junior brother was not as clumsy as he thought.
Unconsciously, he did better than the three of himself.
"Diligence can make up for clumsiness." Li Muchan said with a smile, looking honest and honest.
For more than half a month, Li Muchan's life has been extremely ordinary.
After dinner in the morning, I went to Meifu Tianshu Academy to practice swordsmanship with He Nanshan and three other people, and learned the Twelve Plum Blossom Swords from Jin Kaitai.
In the evening, he left Mei Mansion and returned to his home in Lijiacun. After dinner, he chatted and laughed with his family. When they went to bed, he returned to Chengjing Temple to practice the Observation of Heaven, Humans and Gods, and at the same time practiced sword skills.
He concentrated wholeheartedly, forgetting everything else, and had only one thought: to learn the Twelve Plum Blossom Swords, turn them into instincts, and then practice the Observation of Heaven and Human Spirits.
In the past half month, there has been no major progress in observing the Heavenly God and the Divine Illumination Sutra. It is just that my mind has become clearer, my senses have become sharper, and the world has become more vivid. It is not very useful for practicing swordsmanship, but my spirit is better.
The Twelve Plum Blossom Swords, he practices one sword every day. He practices the sword all the time, as if his body has transformed into a sword.
Now, half a month later, the Twelve Plum Blossom Swords have become his instinct, and he can execute the Twelve Plum Blossom Swords at will, without thinking.
He now practices swordsmanship and no longer practices alone, but competes with He Nanshan and the other three.
At this time, the wonderful power of Guantian Renshenzhao Sutra appeared. His thinking was like lightning, his speed was far faster than sword moves, and he could react to any moves made by the opponent.
The Twelve Plum Blossom Swords become instincts. You don’t have to think about it. As long as the thought comes, you can use it naturally, just like ordinary people. When you want to take something, you don’t have to think about how to move your hand. As long as you think about it, your hand will naturally reach out.
Already.
Because of his proficiency, although the Twelve Plum Blossom Swords were simple, he used them extremely well, often turning decay into magic. He could still withstand the sword skills of He Nanshan and the others for a while.
"Fifth Junior Brother, I have an idea." Cheng Xiaofeng touched the corners of his eyebrows, thoughtfully.
Li Muchan said: "Third senior brother, please speak!"
Cheng Xiaofeng said: "Instead of working hard to practice the Twelve Plum Blossom Swords, why not practice the sword just now... That sword is fierce and fast. If you practice it well, it will be extremely powerful!"
"Not bad!... Not bad!" He Nanshan nodded.
He is fully aware of the power of this sword. The sword comes like lightning, and he has no other way but to dodge. The force of Yun on the sword is fierce and overbearing. Once it is forcefully connected, the tiger's mouth will be numb, and half of the body will be numb. If nothing happens,
The flow of internal energy was restored, and he was immediately defeated.
The magical power of these fifth junior brothers is astonishing and truly incredible.
"Fifth Junior Brother, can you use your inner strength for that sword?" Cheng Xiaofeng asked.
Li Muchan shook his head.
Although he has just mastered the Tianyuan Breathing Technique, his internal energy is endless, and his body's strength and speed have increased, he does not understand the use of internal energy.
The Twelve Plum Blossom Swordsmanship is just a basic sword technique, which is very superficial and does not involve the transfer of internal force.
Cheng Xiaofeng said: "It's a pity that you are practicing the Tianyuan Breathing Technique. If you practice other internal skills and mental techniques, this sword will be faster, harder and more powerful. The second senior brother is afraid that he will not be able to catch it!"
Li Muchan smiled and asked: "Then what mental method is best for me to practice?"
Cheng Xiaofeng said: "It all depends on your physique, Fifth Junior Brother..."Taiyang Zhenjing", "Taiyin Zhenjing", "Shaoyang Zhenjing", "Shaoyin Zhenjing", "Yangming Zhenjing", "
"Jueyin Zhenjing", every mental method is top-notch, our Tianshu Academy can directly practice it... If you practice any of these six mental methods, the power of your sword will be doubled. Except for senior brother, I'm afraid
No one can stop it!"
"Yeah, not bad." He Nanshan nodded.
Yu Chiming waved his hand and said in a rough voice: "Fifth Junior Brother, it's better not to practice the Tianyuan Breathing Technique of Nao Shizi, it will kill people!... I will go and ask the commander to pass on the "Sun Scripture" to you!"
"Thank you so much, Fourth Senior Brother." Li Muchan laughed and said, "I'll go talk to the commander myself."
Yu Chiming was anxious and was about to speak, but He Nanshan interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said with a smile: "...it's okay, the commander attaches great importance to the fifth junior brother, so words will be more effective."
Li Muchan smiled, thoughtfully.
What he wanted to learn most was not one of the six true sutras, but the magical power of indestructibility.
Since he knew his own weaknesses, he became more enthusiastic about the indestructible power of the Vajra. He used his strengths to avoid weaknesses. He wanted to overcome skill with clumsiness and defeat skill with force. The indestructible power of the Vajra was the most suitable.
He once asked Jin Kaitai how to learn the magical power of Vajra Indestructibility.
Jin Kaitai shook his head, this is not an easy task. Although no one has mastered this skill, after all, it is a secret skill of the Zhenfu and ordinary people cannot learn it.
The first is his life experience, which is not a problem for him. After all, he is the younger brother of Deputy Deacon Li, so he has no worries about loyalty.
The second is potential. He has already entered Tianshu Academy. Only by winning the top three in the competition can he learn the indestructible magic skill.
The four of them were talking when suddenly heavy footsteps sounded, and a young man walked in slowly, with a majestic and solemn demeanor. He stopped, glanced at everyone, and nodded gently: "Second Junior Brother, are you all here?"
He spoke with an air of calmness and authority.
"Elder brother!" The four of them rushed to greet him.
Yuchi Ming smiled brightly and stepped forward: "Elder brother, why are you back? Isn't it only ten days?"
The heroic young man showed a smile and said, "There was some trouble along the way and we had a fight."
His eyes fell on Li Muchan.
Li Muchan also looked at him. This young man was tall and tall, a head taller than himself, with a square face, two sword-shaped eyebrows slanting into his temples, his eyes sparkling like gems, his mouth square and his nose upright, showing no anger or authority.
He looks very young, but his demeanor is calm and steady, five or six years older than his age.
Li Muchan thought, this must be senior brother Zhao Yuzhen, he is indeed a talented person with extraordinary bearing.
The second senior brother He Nanshan is deep and restrained and has an excellent demeanor, the third senior brother Cheng Xiaofeng is as graceful as a crane, aloof and aloof, and the fourth senior brother is fierce on the outside and hot on the inside. Each has its own charm, but compared with this senior senior brother, they are all inferior.
Yuchi Ming hurriedly said: "Senior Brother, this is our new junior brother, his monastic name is Zhan Ran and his common name is Li Muchan!"
Li Muchan put his thoughts away and smiled happily: "I've met senior brother."
"Fifth Junior Brother, there is no need to be too polite. From now on we are a family." Zhao Yuzhen responded to the tithe and nodded lightly.
Li Muchan smiled slightly and nodded.
"I'm going to change my clothes first." Zhao Yuzhen said to the four of them, then turned and entered the room in the middle of the north.
Li Muchan watched him leave, thoughtfully. His steps were steady, following a unique rhythm, and there was a faint feeling of lightness. He was obviously very well cultivated.
Yu Chi Ming said: "Fifth Junior Brother, Senior Brother looks cold, but he is actually very good to us."
Li Muchan smiled and nodded.
Compared to the second senior brother and the other three, the eldest brother did seem cold, but his eyes were full of friendship and not hostile.
As he practiced the Observation of Heaven and the Divine Illumination Sutra, his five senses and six senses were already stronger than those of ordinary people. If the person opposite was hostile, he would be able to sense it immediately.
He Nanshan and Cheng Xiaofeng also comforted him. He Nanshan smiled and said: "Our senior brother is cold-faced and hot-hearted. We shoulder everything on one shoulder. The fifth junior brother will know about it in the future."
Yu Chiming laughed and said, "Elder brother is back, we don't have to be afraid of that stinky girl Gong Qingyun anymore!"
Cheng Xiaofeng nodded: "Senior Brother, since practicing the Shaoyang Sutra, his skills have improved by leaps and bounds. This time, he has made a lot of progress, and Gong Qingyun can't take advantage of him."
While the three of them were talking, Zhao Yuzhen changed into a sapphire blue gown and came out. Against the backdrop of the sapphire blue gown, his face was like a crown jewel and he was full of energy.
"Let's go over and talk." Zhao Yuzhen pointed to the verandah opposite.
The five people came to the verandah. There were chairs and beds between the pillars. He Nanshan, Cheng Xiaofeng and Zhao Yuzhen sat on the south side. Yu Chiming and Li Muchan sat on the north side. The five people sat opposite each other.
Zhao Yuzhen smiled and said: "Our Tianshu Academy has not had a newcomer for a long time. It is a great joy for the fifth junior brother to come in. Let's go to Chaoran Building tonight to celebrate."
"Thank you, Senior Brother." Li Muchan bowed as he titheed.
Zhao Yuzhen waved his hand: "As a family, we don't need to be so polite!"
"Yes." Li Muchan nodded lightly, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, looking honest and courteous.
He found this very interesting, as if he were hiding in the dark and seeing into people's hearts, which gave him a wonderful sense of transcendence and isolation.
"Senior brother, the fifth junior brother is a genius!" He Nanshan said.
"Oh——?" Zhao Yuzhen looked at him with a smile.
He knew that the second junior brother looked calm, elegant, and calm, but inside he was very arrogant, even more so than the third junior brother.
Li Muchan smiled sheepishly and said nothing. It would be better not to say anything at this time.
Yuchi Ming said happily: "Fifth Junior Brother is amazingly powerful, and Senior Brother you can't stop him!"
Zhao Yuzhen suddenly nodded and smiled: "Okay, with the fifth junior brother joining us, our Tianshu Academy's strength has greatly increased, and we can feel proud and proud!"
"No!" Yu Chiming nodded vigorously and immediately said with a serious face: "Elder brother, while you are not here, Gong Qingyun taught us a lesson again!"
Zhao Yuzhen's face suddenly sank, and he frowned slightly: "What's going on?!"
He frowned, and the atmosphere around him changed, and the air seemed a little thinner.
Yuchi Ming said bitterly: "Third senior brother and I taught two guys a lesson, but it turned out that they had something to do with the Yaoguang Academy, so Gong Qingyun took the opportunity to teach us a lesson."
Zhao Yuzhen's face was gloomy, his eyes were twinkling, and his brilliance was faint.
Li Muchan was secretly shocked. This senior brother's deep inner strength was clearly visible. According to the commander, this showed that the inner strength had already entered the palace.
Zhao Yuzhen looked sullen for a while, raised his head and hummed: "You guys don't have a long memory either!"
Yu Chiming grimaced and lowered his head. Cheng Xiaofeng touched the corners of his eyebrows and said nothing.
He Nanshan sighed: "Elder brother, even if we are obedient and don't cause trouble, Gong Qingyun will always find a way. It's only because our skills are inferior to others!"
"I don't care this time!" Zhao Yuzhen said in a deep voice, his eyes sweeping over the faces of the two people: "The disciples of the dignified Tianshu Academy were bullied by the Yaoguang Academy, and the face of our Tianshu Academy was completely lost.
Now, I have no shame in looking for her!"
"Elder brother..." He Nanshan whispered.
Zhao Yuzhen waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Second Junior Brother, you don't have to plead with them! ... I am a grown man, but I am embarrassed to meet a woman of the same rank!"
Yu Chiming curled his lips and whispered: "Gong Qingyun knows that you don't dare to do anything to her, so that's why you are so presumptuous!"
Zhao Yuzhen glared at him, and Yu Chiming immediately shut up and lowered his head.
Zhao Yuzhen hummed: "Third Junior Brother, Fourth Junior Brother, if you have the ability, you can practice martial arts well and earn back your face, then you can be considered a man!"
Seeing that Yu Chiming was about to open his mouth again, Zhao Yuzhen snorted, stopped him, and said with a stern face: "Fourth Junior Brother, are you going to complain about the Tianyuan Breathing Technique again?"
Yu Chiming chuckled and scratched his head in embarrassment.
Zhao Yuzhen said: "The Tianyuan Breathing Technique is indeed a superb technique. We cannot practice it well because we are not qualified enough, so we cannot blame the leader. You should have realized the benefits. Fourth Junior Brother, don't talk nonsense anymore!"
"Yes, senior brother." Yu Chiming lowered his head and nodded obediently.
Zhao Yuzhen waved his hand: "Okay, don't look so sad. I was outside this time and accidentally obtained a sword manual. You all come and take a closer look."
"What sword technique?!" Yu Chiming immediately raised his head and asked excitedly.
The air around him suddenly relaxed, and the faint pressure disappeared. Li Muchan secretly sighed that the power of this senior brother was really astonishing.
"Shadowless Sword Art." Zhao Yuzhen smiled and took out a booklet from his arms.
The booklet made of yellow silk cloth looks a bit old and is very thick, almost like a sword scabbard.
Yu Chiming and the other three were like hungry wolves seeing a sheep, their eyes were shining, and they stared at the yellow silk booklet, looking like they wanted to snatch it away.
Zhao Yuzhen handed it to He Nanshan and said with a smile: "I think it is not inferior to the swordsmanship we have practiced. Stones from other mountains can attack jade. It will be helpful to take a closer look."
He Nanshan took it carefully, opened it and looked at it very quickly. He kept nodding and praising: "Good swordsmanship! What a good swordsmanship!"
