The hanging clouds are soaring, and the flying dragons are showing off the five colors. (Please visit for mobile reading)
We stayed at the Xuanyun Guesthouse as a friend, eliminating the need for many cumbersome etiquettes, and not disturbing the several Taoist priests who were practicing pure practice on the mountain. We were accompanied by Yun Qiuhe for a day of sightseeing around the beautiful mountains and waters. On the morning of the 26th, Zhang Wenfeng followed
The host family came to Liuyunping, which has great scenery.
The sun was shining slantingly and the thin clouds were flowing. Six male and female disciples were divided into two rows, lined up and bowed in salute.
"Meet Taoist Zhang!"
"Everyone, please get up!"
Zhang Wenfeng smiled gently and returned the salute with cupped fists.
The advice was just a pretext. Yun Qiuhe wanted to keep him here for a few more days and find something for him to do.
"Actually, I don't recommend specializing in swordsmanship. The path is too difficult and difficult to follow."
Zhang Wenfeng's first sentence stunned the young disciples who were respectfully listening to the teachings.
Yun Qiuhe is now one of the several leading Taoist priests of Xuanyun Temple. He is calm and gentle without losing his majesty. He has a smile on his face as usual. Anyway, whatever Zhang Guanzhu said makes sense, he is in a high position, unique and can be successful.
I have never seen anyone’s fallacies, but they can win an argument with Zhang Guanzhu.
No matter how venomous your tongue is, it will always be deflated.
"A few days ago, I discussed this issue with Taoist priests Chen Shouzhong and He Guangjun. Taoist priests and I have similar ideas, that is, martial arts are used for Taoism and should not stick to any one pattern. The sword is just a way to practice Taoism. There is no need to stick to the sword for external means.
You must use a sword to practice, why can't you practice law, why can't you practice skills? In fact, you can do it. Of course, if you feel that your focus on sword practice has been distracted, and you want to concentrate on swordsmanship, that's fine. It's just a personal choice. There's nothing wrong with it. It's the path you choose.
Go on your own and persevere, and you will eventually gain something."
After Zhang Wenfeng finished speaking, the twelve disciples fell into deep thought.
This issue is often debated among disciples in Huaqi Realm and Jianwei Realm.
The words of the famous sword master made many disciples suddenly realize that they no longer insist that they must use swords to be called sword cultivators. Did they suggest practicing swordsmanship and magic together without seeing Zhang Guanzhu and Chen Daochang?
"Excuse me, Taoist Zhang, what do Taoist He Guangjun say?"
The young man with thick eyebrows who was first in line on the left, his body as straight as a sword, raised his hands and asked.
The three most famous sword masters in the Da'an Dynasty were Chen Shouzhong, Zhang Wenfeng and He Guangjun. Disciples who wanted to practice swordsmanship knew these three and used them as role models.
"He Daozhang insists on using the sword consistently, otherwise it would not be called sword cultivation."
Zhang Wenfeng smiled and replied: "You may not know that He Daochang's paintings of landscapes, insects and birds are very good."
The young man with thick eyebrows felt relieved, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Taoist Zhang, for clarifying my doubts."
Zhang Wenfeng asked: "What is your name?"
"Fengcheng Sword, I have met Daozhang Zhang."
The young man with thick eyebrows was meticulous in his courtesy. He had his own choice and would not change his mind easily just because the other party was famous or had high cultivation level.
Zhang Wenfeng nodded to remember this young man with a sword-like figure.
Some people are born swordsmen, and all other setbacks, dissuasion, and disturbances will only become the whetstone for their firm sword heart. He Guangjun said so and did the same.
Unexpectedly, I met a sword cultivator in Xuanyun Temple.
Zhang Wenfeng continued to discuss the sword: "The sword cultivates four realms: it is in harmony with the hand, it is in harmony with the body, it is in harmony with the will, and it is in harmony with the spirit. From my understanding, the first two realms are talking about the word "coherence". If you want to do your job well, you must first make it good.
When it comes to swords, you must first choose a sword that fits your hand, feels good, and is affordable to use. If it is too heavy, too light, too long, or too short, it is actually not conducive to using the sword. This is the initial fit.
If you want to achieve harmony with your hands, all you have to do is practice more.
But this calligraphy practice also involves the choice of swordsmanship that suits one's own knowledge. A swordsmanship move that suits your qualifications, no matter how crude it is, is willing to practice hard, for one year at most, and more relaxed, two years. If two
If you still can't reach the point of joining hands in the year, don't waste any more time and concentrate on practicing the Dharma."
Most of the six people who listened attentively showed a hint of bitterness.
They have practiced swordsmanship for more than two years. Perhaps according to what Zhang Daozhang said, they changed their swordsmanship practice and found a swordsmanship that matched their qualifications.
It can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
The young man with thick eyebrows and another young man in front of the row had a look of surprise on their faces. Daozhang Zhang was indeed worthy of his reputation. He told the illusory sword realm in simple and easy-to-understand language, making them feel the same.
They had changed several swordsmanships at first, practicing only a few moves they liked based on their feelings, and finally reached the preliminary swordsmanship level.
If they had listened to Zhang Guanzhu's lectures and guidance earlier, they could have saved a lot of time.
Zhang Wenfeng had a panoramic view of the expressions of the six disciples, looked at the thick-browed young man in front of him, and said: "Fengcheng Sword, you demonstrate the swordsmanship once, and I will give you some pointers."
It is impossible for him to teach all the valuable insights and experiences he has learned to strangers.
Being able to talk about some basics is already a sign of Yun Qiuhe's reputation.
"Yes, please give me some advice from Taoist Zhang!"
The young man with thick eyebrows raised his hand and said loudly, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and pulled out the sword from his waist.
He suddenly felt that the sword in his hand felt a little different. It seemed lighter and shorter. He had not realized it before. Listening to Daozhang Zhang's lectures had benefited him a lot. As a disciple of Huaqi Realm, the sect would not customize swords.
, but he can use the spiritual energy stones he saved to ask someone to make a sword suitable for him.
The other five people quickly moved to the side, leaving the place to Fengcheng Sword.
They were very envious that the boy could get personal guidance from Taoist Zhang.
Fengcheng Sword mustered up his energy and demonstrated the "Izumo Sword Technique" he was most familiar with every move. The sword was carried along with him, and the clearing of more than ten feet was filled with cold light and strong wind.
Zhang Wenfeng glanced at Yun Qiuhe beside him. He had seen Yun Qiuhe perform the Yun Sword Technique many times.
Yun Qiuhe smiled and nodded slightly, indicating that Fengcheng Jian was her new disciple.
After the thick-browed young man finished using a set of sword techniques, Zhang Wenfeng stretched out his hand and said "chi". A branch in the distance was cut off by a trace of invisible sword energy. He took it into his hand, wiped off the blade, broke it to the right length, and stepped forward.
Go and say: "You use the Izumo sword technique to attack. I'll lower myself to Huaqi Realm and only use one flat thrust. Come on."
"Yes, please give me some advice from Taoist Zhang!"
The young man with thick eyebrows did not dare to be careless, so he used his most proud trick "Yunjuan Yunshu". He used the sword light to create a ball of more than ten feet in size and attacked Zhang Daochang on the opposite side. With just one bump, he was reduced to Huaqi Realm cultivation level.
Zhang Daochang, can he keep the slender branches in his hands?
The branch in Zhang Wenfeng's hand trembled straight, and he thrust forward into the center of the sword light.
There were two "ding-dong" sounds, and the young man with thick eyebrows was stabbed in the chest. He quickly sheathed his sword and retreated.
Zhang Wenfeng smiled and said, "Come again!"
The young man with thick eyebrows changed into a simple "hanging clouds and opening the sky", shouting loudly and slashing with sword force. However, facing the unpredictable stab, the slender branches brushed the side of the sword body and rushed into the palace, so he had to retreat.
Several times in a row, he failed to execute a complete sword move.
Zhang Wenfeng stabbed the opponent's chest and robe again, and said through the voice: "It's compatible, we have to start simple! Do you understand?"
Fengcheng Jian staggered back with the sword in his hand, and received several stabs in succession. Although he was not injured, it was very painful. He recalled Zhang Daozhang's simple stab in his mind, and understood a little. He stood still thinking about it and forgot about it.
Salute and thank you.
"Okay, that's it for today."
Zhang Wenfeng put down the branch with a smile, turned around and looked towards the northeast forest.
"Zhang Guanzhu has a wonderful theory of swordsmanship. The word "fit" has profound meaning and can also be used in formations."
The one who came over was Jin Shanyan, a master of Xuanyun Guanzi Realm and the elder brother of Master Yun Qiuhe. They had known each other since they killed demons in the Qianluo Mountains.
At Yun Qiuhe's signal, the other disciples bowed silently and left, leaving only Fengcheng Jian, who was deep in thought.
Zhang Wenfeng went up to him and raised his hands: "A little insight made Taoist Master Jin laugh."
"Zhang Guanzhu, please go to Bamboo Formation Peak to have tea and talk about Taoism. Do you have some free time?"
Jin Shanyan returned the gift with his hands raised, and asked with a smile, with a hint of narrowness in his eyes, as he looked at Yun Qiuhe, "Qiuhe, please come with me if you have time."
Yun Qiuhe was afraid of his master but not of this uncle. He curled his lips and said: "Master, you are making no sense. Why do the guests I invite go to the Bamboo Formation Peak?" He walked forward and said to Master Zhang: "Let the master go today."
Uncle Pofei, we want to eat white jade cloud bamboo shoots and drink Liuyun spirit brew."
