Every morning at Youtanqi's camp, you can see Zhang Yan holding a wooden sword and making gestures outside the tent. At first glance, it looks like a child playing house. After seeing it, I sneered in my heart.
There are not a few people.
But no one came to Zhang Yan to shout. However, now Zhang Yan's reputation as a "miscellaneous scholar" has become very loud in Yubei Mountain Fortress, but many people still treat him as a madman, thinking that even if he is not completely crazy, he is still a madman.
Half crazy.
But there are also sharp-eyed people. For example, those warriors who have done some research on sword fighting. They have discovered that Zhang Yan’s endless practice of movements every day is definitely not some crazy kid’s play, but a non-simple battle.
Technical swordsmanship is different from most swordsmanship methods. It does not follow the path of broad opening and closing. It is more delicate and agile, and it also has an inexplicable aura of awe.
Many martial artists are curious as to why Zhang Yan practices swordsmanship, since he clearly has no talent for martial arts.
When I asked, I was speechless.
"Ah? My sword dance is just to strengthen my body and stretch my legs."
What can you do?
I also wanted to learn this set of swordsmanship. I asked Zhang Yan, but he couldn't ask for it, and the other party's identity was from the mysterious miscellaneous school lineage. There might be many rules in it, and I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to teach outsiders easily. So they all chose to keep silent.
I'm watching from the side. You've already come out to practice your sword. It's okay for me to see, right?
It's a pity that what Zhang Yan practiced was "Qi-inducing Sword Art", which is an authentic Taoist method. The sword moves in it are just superficial. The real core is the word "Qi-inducing". Outsiders who don't know how to practice can't learn Qi-inducing.
The moves are just superficial, so Zhang Yan doesn't need to care about them.
Even with the improvement of his own cultivation, Zhang Yan's martial arts cultivation in the wilderness and the martial arts cultivation and Shinto he brought from the earth are not the same path at all, they are very different.
Zhang Yan has already seen the tyranny of martial arts cultivators this year. It can be said that warriors in the body tempering realm actually appear to be more flexible, stronger, and more capable of resisting blows and injuries. They are different from ordinary soldiers.
There is no very intuitive difference between pawns. But once a martial artist enters the Kaiyuan realm, it will be completely different.
Just like Qin Hao, whom Zhang Yan is most familiar with, he is a warrior in the middle stage of the Kaiyuan Realm. He has internal energy and energy, can carry a huge force with every move he makes, and can also display powerful combat skills.
In Zhang Yan's opinion, the so-called power of combat skills is essentially the same as the power of magic and means. It actually evokes the power of heaven and earth. It's just that the performance is different. The power of combat skills is mainly to attract the power of heaven and earth to strengthen one's own.
Means. The principle of magic is mainly to induce the power of heaven and earth, with oneself as a supporting role to guide.
Therefore, Zhang Yan is not qualified to evaluate who is stronger in martial arts, martial arts, or Shinto cultivation. He even feels that such a comparison is unnecessary because the methods are different.
For example, from what Zhang Yan has seen so far, the methods of martial arts are almost all based on the word "武". Most of them are used to strengthen the body and fight, and there are very few other aspects. However, Taoist magic is different.
Yes, even a novice like Zhang Yan has many methods that are not used in battle.
"Five Elements Qi Shield" and "Qi Guiding Sword Technique" are both Zhang Yan's methods of self-protection. Now, almost a year later, he has mastered these two methods and can definitely use them, not to mention entering a house. So,
He felt at ease and wanted to choose another method.
This time, Zhang Yan was not only focusing on "preserving survival" but also satisfying his curiosity.
Since I was a child, I have followed my master in reading various classics and miscellaneous books in Longhu Mountain. What I have seen and heard is the glory and magic of the legendary era. At the same time, what I am most curious about is the "other side of the world" that is said to be undiscoverable by the "naked eye."
.This kind of thought could no longer be suppressed after Zhang Yan settled down and improved his cultivation.
Although the tower in Wanxiang Pearl still only has one level open to Zhang Yan, the magic methods in it are like stars, and it is easy to choose the method Zhang Yan wants: "Yin Yang Pupil Technique"!
As a Chinese who grew up with legends about gods and monsters, how could Zhang Yan not be interested in Yin Yang Eyes?
Since "Yin Yang Pupil Technique" is on the first floor of the Wanxiang Pearl Tower, it means that it is not actually a very advanced magic method, it is just at the entry level.
Perhaps for monks, distinguishing humans and ghosts at a glance and seeing yin and yang at a glance are basic methods, so they are not considered advanced.
After Zhang Yan lightly touched the golden ball representing "Yin Yang Pupil Technique", his consciousness returned to his body, and all the methods and tips about "Yin Yang Pupil Technique" were in his mind. He just needed to start practicing according to these messages.
"Yin Yang Pupil Technique" is indeed not difficult. Even after Zhang Yan carefully studied it, he felt that it was much simpler than "Five Elements Qi Shield" and "Qi Guiding Sword Technique".
But after practicing for three days in a row, Zhang Yan didn't feel anything else except that it went smoothly.
According to "Yin-Yang Pupil Technique", the spiritual energy is gathered in the eyes, and then the yang energy and yin energy are gradually screened out using specific techniques. Finally, it is added in front of the line of sight like a filter, so that you can see in the eyes what is normally invisible to the naked eye.
The evil things you see are commonly known as ghosts.
"As described in "Yin-Yang Eyes", I should have opened the "Yin-Yang Eyes" now. Why haven't I seen anything evil no matter day or night?"
When he was on Earth, Zhang Yan didn't believe in gods and ghosts, even though he had benefited a lot from the theory of gods and ghosts. But later when he arrived in the Desolate Heaven Realm, he realized that he had thought simply before. Now he does, but he doesn't.
Not afraid, because there is the mighty Dragon and Tiger Mountain Sect behind him, and he is also a member of the Taoist sect, so how can he be afraid of these things?
In the entire Yubei Mountain Fortress, people die almost every day. Over the years, there is not a single ghost!?
The only thing that made Zhang Yan realize that his yin and yang eyes had not failed was that although he could not see ghosts, he could see souls. The souls of the soldiers who died in the wounded barracks under the city wall would float out after death, but
Soon it will melt away like snow.
After death, the soul comes out. It should return to heaven and earth, but it is hindered by the six desires and seven emotions, creates evil obstacles, resists the laws of heaven and earth, is trapped and confused by obsession, and enters the ghost realm to disturb the world...
Zhang Yan did not believe that these soldiers who died on the battlefield were mentally peaceful and had no worries, and could all "return to heaven and earth" safely. He clearly saw that the souls of many people died with ferocious and unwilling faces, but they still disappeared, as if
It is not similar to the description of ghosts in Longhu Mountain Gate.
After thinking about it, Zhang Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with Longhushan's "Yin Yang Pupil Technique". The only reason why he didn't see ghosts was that the place he was in was unusual.
"The fortress is a place for military strategists. The evil spirit is soaring to the sky, and the aura of the army is extremely strong. Is it possible that it is because of these reasons that evil things cannot be born here?" Zhang Yan had a guess in his mind.
