After eating, Linghu Heng patted his belly and said, "I'm so full! Big guy, your cooking skills are really good, but it's a pity that there is no meat." After hearing this, Wu Zhen didn't say anything, and put away the dishes with a naive smile.
After Linghu Heng asked for trouble, he paid attention to Wu Zhen's cultivation level. After all, he had entered the pill formation stage. Linghu Heng was not as vague about Wu Zhen's realm as before. He could still see it if he looked carefully.
There is a clue.
He didn't know it, but he was shocked when he saw it. Linghu Heng found out that Wu Zhen had already reached the Great Perfection of the middle stage of pill formation, and was only one step away from entering the late stage of pill formation! The early stage, middle stage, and late stage in one realm,
Although it is not as difficult as advancing, it is not that easy. There are still barriers to cultivation. If it can be broken, it will be a matter of course; if it cannot be broken, then it is delusional to want to enter the later stage. Barriers to cultivation are different from disasters, and disasters are about things.
The most important thing is the cultivation of the state of mind. If the state of mind is not good enough, you will only ask for trouble if you force yourself to overcome the calamity; and the cultivation of barriers is about understanding. If you have a sudden enlightenment, you will naturally improve your cultivation. If you cannot understand, you can only stand still.
Stagnant. This was the case with the old man when he was choosing his disciples. Even though the years passed by, he could only stop at the middle stage of becoming a god. It has been like this for the past two years, not moving forward. It can be seen that even if they are both in the pill formation stage, they are still in the middle stage of spiritual transformation.
There are also high and low levels of spiritual power. Everyone's understanding is different, and the progress of cultivation is naturally different. Even if you have more spiritual power through cultivation, if your understanding is not enough, there will be no qualitative change. At this time, Linghu Heng is absolutely
Wu Zhen will not be Wu Zhen's opponent. Once they fight, Wu Zhen can defeat Linghu Heng within ten moves. Maybe you will say that Wu Zhen has been practicing swordsmanship for so long, so it is normal that Linghu Heng cannot beat him.
. Admittedly, this is one aspect, but it is more of a gap in realm, which cannot be bridged by one move or another.
So how did Wu Zhen break through the barrier of cultivation? This still has to be attributed to his simple nature and ignorance of worldly affairs. Naturally, he has no distracting thoughts, and he will be one or two steps faster than others in understanding the Taoist principles. And the teaching methods of the old Taoist priests
It also played a big role. If other disciples heard the master just saying formulas without explanation, they would definitely think that the master was hiding something secret, and naturally there would be resentment in their hearts. But Wu Zhen was different. He would do whatever the old Taoist told him to do.
I never ask why. It is precisely because of this that I can understand the essence of the formula alone, instead of just listening to the lecture. What I get is the experience of the master without any opinions of my own. The old Taoist does this just because he wants his disciples to have the knowledge.
One's own understanding, exercise one's own understanding, and laugh at those disciples who don't understand why they think that the master is hiding his secrets and does not teach his true skills. It is really a waste of the hard work of the old Taoist priest. According to the method of the old Taoist priest, you may be confused when you first start practicing.
It's difficult, but once you step over the threshold, you'll be like a fish leaping over the dragon's gate, and the path to cultivation will be smooth all the way.
Linghu Heng's situation was different from that of Wu Zhen. He only thought that the old Taoist priest was deliberately making things difficult, which aroused his strong desire to win. He was unwilling to bow his head and admit defeat to the old Taoist priest, but he managed to get through it and realized something.
The truth. After entering the most difficult level, for Linghu Heng, the problem of cultivation no longer existed, and what remained was how to improve his cultivation.
Knowing that Wu Zhen's cultivation still far exceeded his own, Linghu Heng's newly raised complacency was ruthlessly hit. He stood up slowly and walked to the bed again. He knew that if he didn't
Even Wu Zhen couldn't keep up with his efforts. Although Linghu Heng didn't like boring training, his competitive spirit was like a prairie fire. Linghu Heng couldn't stand even a little bit. In order not to lose to others, he still persevered.
Scalp continued to practice, not to mention the scene of being beaten by a group that day was still vivid in his mind. How could Linghu Heng swallow this breath without taking revenge?
Under such pressure, Linghu Heng began to practice hard again. Almost the whole day, Linghu Heng spent it in meditation with his eyes closed, and the spiritual power of the Green Bamboo Forest gradually gathered outside Linghu Heng's hut, forming a
An extremely spectacular scene.
Unconsciously, another two months passed. Linghu Heng finally stabilized his state at the early stage of elixir formation, then slowly opened his eyes, got up and walked outside the house. As soon as he opened the door, Linghu Heng saw the old Taoist priest holding the
Sitting on a big rock not far from the door, Linghu Heng consolidated his realm and was naturally in a good mood. He greeted the old Taoist priest: "Good morning, old Taoist priest!"
Taoist Taoist Silence opened his closed eyes, glanced at Linghu Heng, and said calmly: "From today on, I will teach you how to practice swordsmanship."
Linghu Heng couldn't believe his ears and said: "Old Taoist priest, are you saying you want to teach me how to practice swordsmanship?" No wonder Linghu Heng was so surprised. Others started practicing swordsmanship after just one year, for fear that they would fall behind.
The old Taoist priest never said a word, he just said that he was not good at cultivation and could not practice well. Linghu Heng naturally thought that it was the old Taoist priest who deliberately made things difficult, but he was so competitive, how could he bow to the old Taoist priest?
Since then, he has never mentioned it again. Who would have thought that the old Taoist priest would actually ask Linghu Heng to practice sword practice today? This was really beyond Linghu Heng's expectation.
Wu Zhen also listened and said happily: "Junior brother, have you forgotten? Today is your third year in the sect!" Linghu Heng was stunned. He really didn't expect that three years have passed like this.
, Wu Zhen continued: "I also started practicing swordplay in the third year. Master didn't lie to you. If you practice swordplay too early, it will be in vain and ineffective." Linghu Heng rolled his eyes at him, but he didn't.
say.
The Taoist Master of Silence looked at Wu Zhen and said, "A Zhen, bring me my 'Bi Yue' sword." Wu Zhen said respectfully, "Yes, Master." He immediately turned around and went into the house and brought a sword
The cyan sword in Wu Zhen's hand seemed unwilling to be left alone, faintly exuding bursts of majesty. Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Silence said: "Just practice with this sword."
Linghu Heng took the sword, but unexpectedly his hand sank, and the fairy sword almost fell to the ground. Linghu Heng awkwardly held up the "Blue Moon" sword, thinking: "What kind of sword is this? It's so heavy!"
The Taoist Taoist of Silence ignored him and said to himself: "The 'Biyue' sword is the sword I wore when I was young. I don't use it anymore. I passed it on to you. I hope you won't lose the reputation of this sword! The original version of the 'Biyue' sword"
Weighing fifty-six kilograms, it is made of cold iron from the West Sea, and with the blessing of the formation, it already weighs two hundred and thirty-six kilograms."
Linghu Heng secretly smacked his tongue after hearing this, and thought to himself: "Oh my goodness, it actually weighs more than two hundred kilograms!" The Taoist Taoist of Silence ignored his surprise, picked up a broom, and said: "Now I will pass it on to you.
I will send you the basic sword technique, the Thirteen Styles of the Ancient Sword!" After saying that, he started to dance. Linghu Heng quickly calmed down his mind and started to look at it seriously. Taoist Taoist Taoist Silence was afraid that Linghu Heng wouldn't be able to learn it, so he let it go the first time.
It was very slow, but the second time it was a little faster, and the third time it was already at normal speed. Fortunately, Linghu Heng was born with a photographic memory, and after studying seriously, he also memorized the thirteen ancient sword styles one by one. This
The Thirteen Styles of the Ancient Sword, although it is called the Thirteen Styles, has hundreds of variations. If it weren't for Linghu Heng's abnormal memory, he would not be able to remember them all at once.
After Taoist Taoist Silence finished the demonstration three times, he stopped demonstrating and said, "From now on, you can practice your sword during the day and practice at night." Linghu Heng nodded, and Taoist Taoist Silence also nodded. After putting down the broom, he went to himself
They left the bamboo house. Wu Zhen also went to fetch water for cooking, leaving Linghu Heng alone there thinking about the sword skills taught by the old Taoist priest. Linghu Heng was not surprised by the old Taoist priest's teachings.
Okay, you can figure out the rest by yourself.
Linghu Heng tried hard to recall the movements of the old Taoist priest just now. It was not until a complete set of sword techniques was formed in his mind that Linghu Heng slowly picked up the "Bi Yue" sword and started practicing. But after all, the "Bi Yue" sword was too heavy.
, less than half of the practice, Linghu Heng was already weak and unable to move. After Linghu Heng's tenacity to refuse to admit defeat came up, he gritted his teeth and finished practicing a set of thirteen ancient sword moves, but he was also exhausted and paralyzed.
, lay on the ground and rested for a long time before slowly lifting the sword and doing it a second time.
After more than a month of this, Linghu Heng finally got used to the weight of the "Bi Yue" sword, and his moves seemed to be normal. At this time, Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Sword Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Jian's "Biyue" Sword 1999 said.
Regarding Linghu Heng's problem, Linghu Heng also had a tough talk and said unconvinced: "What if I am too slow to strike and someone stabs me with a sword?" "If the sword is held so low, what if someone cuts my face?"
Do it!" There were endless words like this. Fortunately, the old Taoist priest was very patient and explained everything one by one, and ignored Linghu Heng's nonsense.
At this time, the old Taoist priest could get a glimpse of what he had learned in his mind. The swordsmanship of each school seemed to be what he had learned in his mind, and he could easily pick it up without any effort. Linghu Heng's ability to comprehend was also very powerful, and he could remember it as soon as it was explained.
You know, it often takes more than ten days to learn one sword style, but how can it be so troublesome for others to learn the thirteen styles of ancient swords? It takes one day to learn one style, and it only takes less than half a month to learn it. But the old Taoist priest is not just teaching it
Swordsmanship? Along with the experience of fighting enemies, swordsmanship from all schools are also taught together, and more importantly, Linghu Heng is taught to "comprehend" it on his own. This is not just the slightest difference from learning swordsmanship from others!
After more than half a year, Linghu Heng finally understood the introductory sword technique - the Thirteen Styles of the Ancient Sword. The old Taoist priest no longer needed to go around Linghu Heng to teach him every day, he only needed to practice it by himself. And Wu Zhen was also here
In half a year, he had broken through the barrier of cultivation and entered the late stage of pill formation. Linghu Heng was only jealous of this. In order to learn swordsmanship, he practiced at night and was thinking about swordsmanship. When he was not concentrating on practice, his cultivation progress had already been lost.
I have been pulled down a lot, and I have not yet reached the Great Consummation stage of the early stage of pill formation. I am still far from the middle stage of pill formation. How can I even talk about the late stage of pill formation!
Fortunately, Linghu Heng also knew that he was putting the cart before the horse and really started to practice swordsmanship during the day and spiritual power at night, so that he was on the right track.
Suddenly, a few months passed, winter turned to spring, and it was already Linghu Heng's fourth year in the Ancient Sword Sect. At this time, he had quietly grown taller, surpassing the Taoist Taoist of Silence, and was chasing Wu Zhen.
The momentum has increased. And his cultivation has reached the early stage of elixir formation, and he has become even more proficient in practicing the thirteen styles of the ancient sword.
On this day, Linghu Heng learned from Wu Zhen that the ancient sword sect’s five-year sword meeting was about to begin. Linghu Heng originally wanted to go up and show off his skills, but Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Silence refused to do so and just said that he
His cultivation level was not enough, and Wu Zhen was asked by him to attend the sword competition. Linghu Heng was unhappy about this for several days. However, Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Xi Jinping said he could take him to see him, and Linghu Heng's depressed mood improved a little.
