Chapter 146 Trying to figure out the subtleties of Kendo
Zhang Wenfeng sat cross-legged on the edge of the boulder. The mist and spiritual energy were thick, covering him completely. The spiritual spring below was the central spiritual energy driver for the operation of the mountain guarding formation. The formation relied on the spiritual spring to accumulate the power to pull the heaven and earth.
Similarly, the longer the time passes, the higher the quality of the spiritual spring will improve.
He released his spiritual consciousness and dipped into the turbulent water below, in this way he could feel the various wonderful and subtle changes in the formation's operation.
Countless chaotic and disorderly sounds, with no trace to be found, appeared faintly in his ears like whispers.
Sometimes it's light, sometimes it's heavy, sometimes it's slow, sometimes it's urgent.
Occasionally, there would be noisy and harsh sounds that suddenly sounded in subtle places, making it difficult for him to fall asleep.
Zhang Wenfeng was not impatient either. He recited the "Tai Shang Shu Sutra of Constant Peace" silently over and over again. The noise gradually disappeared, the distractions stayed away, and it was extremely slow and difficult to achieve a peaceful state of mind.
His consciousness penetrated more than a foot deep into the water and drifted along with the water waves.
I don't know how much time passed, but I got caught up in the soft and soothing sound of running water, and finally I was immersed in it.
The formation moves invisible, and the mist rolls away with the autumn wind.
The power of heaven and earth followed the situation, was pulled in, and slowly settled in the formation pillars everywhere.
In the clearing in the forest to the east, Yue Anyan used his skills to weaken the fog enough that he could vaguely see the muddy ground. The old cripple, the second senior brother, Wei Xingde and two boys built a wall, talked and laughed and went up the mountain to have lunch.
Everyone sat down in the dining hall, only to realize that only the temple owner had not arrived.
The donkey appeared on time with the cub on its back, looked around, grinned and nodded frequently at the old lame man sitting opposite the door, indicating in a smart way: Drink!
"As a donkey, you have to drink wine with every meal. If it weren't for the Taoist family's big business, how could they afford to support it? And they don't have to grind flour to work, so they eat better than I do."
The old cripple kept scolding him, lifted the wine jar on the ground, and poured a bowl for the donkey, being careful not to spill the wine.
He never leaves this matter to others, and takes care of the donkey himself.
He was always very sarcastic towards the donkey who fought side by side through adversity, but he was actually very protective of him, for fear that the donkey would starve. In less than a month, he raised the donkey to be fat, strong, round buttocks, smooth and smooth.
Second Senior Brother and Yue Anyan laughed.
Yue Anyan stood up and went to the door. He sent a message and asked, "Where is the master of the temple?"
The donkey used its hoofs on the eaves and ground, and pulled out two crooked characters: "Enter meditation."
Under Yue Anyan's careful instruction, the donkey has been able to recognize and write many commonly used characters. The first thing it learned to write was the word "Guanzhu". The complexity of the word "Guanzhu" really troubled its donkey's hooves for a long time.
Yue Anyan knew it by heart, wiped off the writing with his foot, returned to the dining hall and sat down, saying: "Let's start eating. The master is practicing and won't go up the mountain for a while. Sister-in-law Wei, sit down and eat together. You have worked hard to cook."
, you don’t have to eat alone in the kitchen, we don’t have that rule.”
"Yes, there are so many people and everyone is eating at the table."
The old lame man also said that he brought a bowl of wine to the donkey, turned around and put it on the ground beside his chair, and patted the donkey lovingly when he came into the room and rubbed his shoulders. The donkey would make him happy.
The young badger quickly jumped to the ground, leaned over to the bowl and took a sip. The spicy sorghum wine made it bark a few times, "Uh-huh," and climbed onto the donkey's back with its mouth still open.
The old cripple laughed loudly, cursed a few words, and turned back to clink bowls with Wei Xingde for a drink.
He was very happy to have someone drink with him and listen to him recount ancient times.
In the afternoon, Wei Xingde, his second senior brother, and Lao Zizi mixed the white sand and mud and continued to build the blue brick wall.
Adults and children are busy and all participate in building the house.
It often rains these days and the sky is gloomy. I am worried that it will snow and become heavy, so I have to rush to work. Even the doors, windows and wooden beams are purchased nearby, and are brought along with the green bricks and tiles and piled in the forest.
Therefore, Wei Xingde, the carpenter, felt very sorry.
Yue Anyan and Sister-in-law Wei took the time to tidy up the rooms in the completed Qingzheng Villa on Aishan Mountain.
Been busy for several days.
Several groups of green-skinned scoundrels from the town and nearby villages also broke into the formation. They were trapped in the edge of the forest, spinning in circles like headless flies. Their eyes were filled with mist, and they didn't know where to go.
spirit.
The companions outside the formation, seeing that the situation was not good, hurriedly ran to the fork in the official road up the mountain and shouted loudly.
The second senior brother couldn't bear the trouble and made several trips, throwing those ignorant guys out of the battle and giving them a severe warning.
After many people spread exaggerated claims, within half a day, the area around Xianlingguan has become quite mysterious.
It was dark, and Zhang Wenfeng woke up from the sudden transition between day and night when the array was running on its own. He was stunned for a long time before he realized that it was already night. As he sat there, he didn't realize that time had passed.
After half a day of immersed thought and understanding, he gained a lot more understanding of the subtle manipulation of the formation.
At the same time, it allowed him to vaguely touch the original operation of the yin and yang power of heaven and earth.
He used the Yuan Qi that was lost in the Feihua style to meditate near the center of the formation. He had already fully recovered and his cultivation level had improved a lot.
If he were a true formation master, he would gain even more.
Standing up floatingly, he glanced around at the white mist. This place is a treasure land, and a bamboo building for cultivation must be built as soon as possible so that both the second senior brother and Yue Anyan can enjoy the convenience of cultivation.
Lunch was useless and he didn't feel hungry.
Walking on the rocks, the mist formed by the formation could not block his view of the creator.
"Friend Zhong Dao, I would like to ask you, is there anything to say about 'joining hands' in swordsmanship?"
When he was sparring with He Guangjun, he used the Flying Style. He Guangjun said that his swordsmanship had initially reached the point of being in harmony with the hand. He didn't know what he meant. He didn't see this statement in the classics, but he just felt that it was related to the state of swordsmanship.
Zhong Wenyong sent a message and replied: "These are the four realms of sword practice, which are 'in harmony with the hand', 'in harmony with the body', 'in harmony with the mind', and 'in harmony with the spirit'. More than two thousand years ago, the sword
Those crazy people only practice swords, not magic. They cultivate human swords and merge them into one.
Later, I found that no matter how advanced my swordsmanship was, it would be in vain if my lifespan was not enough, so I combined the skills of the monks to come up with some tricks.
Don't believe everything that person says. He is a sword cultivator and believes in breaking all laws with one sword.
In fact, the reverse is also true. Swordsmanship can be defeated by any method, and there are many benefits to knowing it. Why don't you just use magic to block him for a moment? If you are specialized in a spell, he won't be able to take advantage."
Zhang Wenfeng nodded slightly. This was reasonable, and he had to admit that sword cultivators were powerful in close combat.
"Friend Zhong Dao, do you know the training methods of sword cultivation?"
"I know a little, but not much. I used to have two sword cultivator friends. When I communicated with them, I heard them say that the basic training of sword cultivator is very boring. They usually choose a common sword style, such as flat thrust,
You have to practice three to five thousand times day after day, and you must not let up all the year round. You must practice to gain insights. Even if you practice advanced swordsmanship in the future, you must continue to practice the basic skills.
Sword practitioners practice swordsmanship, while monks practice swordsmanship. There is a big difference between the two. One focuses on technique and the other focuses on method.
Competing with sword cultivators is the same as dealing with martial arts cultivators. The best way is to keep a distance and attack with the advantage of spells."
Zhong Wenyong answered all questions with great detail.
Zhang Wenfeng recalled He Guangjun's simple flat thrust, and the sword's charm was perfect. Even if he was at the same level of cultivation as him, he tried his best to get over it.
It’s really awesome!
How about he also try to practice simple flat thorns in addition to his daily homework and practice?
He Guangjun said that he has good swordsmanship talent.
In fact, he knows what his talent is.
Perhaps, if he has practiced more basic sword skills and accumulated enough, he can be touched when he enters a quiet state of mind while chanting sutras, and then he can realize a powerful sword skill? A unique move like Feihua Style.
He paced and thought, walked towards the mountain, and asked for advice:
"Friend Zhong Dao, please tell me, what do 'in harmony with the hand' and 'in harmony with the body' mean?"
"'He hand' is the customary name for sword cultivators. In fact, it should be called 'Sword and hand'. The key point is to develop the sense of the sword, so that the sword can be used like an arm and the fingers, and the energy circulates in the sword and does not stay in the object, even if it is ordinary.
Swords can also exert great power..."
"'Integration with the body' is the second level of sword cultivation. It is not easy to practice 'in harmony with the sword'. You have to understand the sword's intention, sharpen your state of mind, and find out the connection between the energy, yourself, and the sword's intention.
Balance, combined to form a new force, if you are not careful, it is easy to go astray..."
