Chapter 582: Heart and Eyes

Every day was uneventful. I inspected the formations in the valley with Xie Yunhan, then stabbed ten monks with spiritual patterns, and then practiced sword skills with Xia Liang.

What goes around comes around.

If it weren't for the revenge that the fox demon mentioned before, this kind of life would be really good.

Nine days later, all the monks in the valley had received tattoos, and they were all royal guard tattoos. During this period, Lu Ye was in awe...

After finishing what he was doing, Lu Ye found Xia Liang and prepared to practice sword skills with him.

However, Xia Liang said: "In terms of basics, I have taught you everything that can be taught to you. The rest needs to be understood slowly by yourself in a life-and-death struggle. Simple teaching is no longer of much use."

After all, there are only so many basics of swordsmanship. Xia Liang has taught Lu Ye everything he can in these ten days. There really is nothing left to teach Lu Ye.

The most important thing about improving swordsmanship is not teaching, but the accumulation and sublimation in actual combats. The swordsmanship mastered by each person also needs to be slowly honed and refined in bloody battles.

After more than ten days, Lu Ye can feel that his sword skills have improved a lot. His foundation is more solid than before, and his understanding of sword skills has also reached a higher level.

It can be said that based on this alone, his strength has increased by at least 10%, which is undoubtedly a huge gain.

So even though he had a lot of grievances with Xia Liang, just based on his teachings these days, Lu Ye also bowed seriously: "Thank you, fellow Daoist Xia!"

I just don’t know how Xia Liang would react if he had the chance to get rid of the fox demon’s mind control.

He originally wanted to kill Lu Ye, but by mistake, he taught Lu Ye a lot of sword skills.

"I can't teach you basic things, but what I want to teach you today is something else." With that said, Xia Liang took out his long knife from his storage bag, assumed a posture, and closed his eyes. , said: "Attack me!"

Looking at his appearance, he seemed to want to show off something. Lu Ye did not hesitate, put his hand on the handle of the knife, swayed, and rushed towards Xia Liang. He unsheathed the long knife and struck it down with one blow, while keeping a close eye on him. Follow Xia Liang's movements.

When the Panshan Sword was less than a foot away from Xia Liang, Xia Liang suddenly moved. He raised the long sword in his hand, and with the last move, he blocked the Panshan Sword.

Lu Ye couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Xia Liang was at the ninth level of Yunhe, and he was only at the fourth level. There was a huge gap in their cultivation strength. Lu Ye was not surprised that he could block his attack.

What surprised him was that Xia Liang seemed to be able to see his attack even though his eyes were closed.

With the help of the force of the counter-shock, Lu Yepiao retreated.

"Come again!" Xia Liang greeted.

Lu Ye rushed forward again, this time he did not choose to cut, but stabbed straight. Compared with the more powerful slash, such a straight stab was undoubtedly much more concealed.

This guy can block his own slash with his eyes closed, and it can be said that he can judge his position by listening to the sound. How can he block this concealed direct thrust?

To Lu Ye's surprise, still half a foot away, the long knife in Xia Liang's hand suddenly moved, and he gently deflected the Panshan knife. At the same time, he tilted his head and let the Panshan knife stab into the empty space against his neck.

Lu Ye was greatly surprised.

"Come again!"

Lu Ye took action for the third time...

But the result was without exception. Every time when the attack was half a foot away from Xia Liang, he suddenly took action to block the attack.

Although Lu Ye didn't use all his strength, it was still incredible to him that Xia Liang could do this with his eyes closed.

After attacking more than a dozen times, Xia Liang's clothes were not even touched.

He then opened his eyes, looked at Lu Ye and said, "Do you understand?"

"Perception?"

"Mind's eye!"

"Mind's eye?"

"What you see with the naked eye may not be true, but what you see with the mind's eye will never be false." Xia Liang taught earnestly, "This is not a sword skill, but it is a auxiliary skill that is useful to all military cultivators. Secret skill, you said perception, which is not entirely wrong. Most soldiers have their own perception of danger when fighting with others, but the inner eye is based on perception, which is beyond perception. Secret Technique."

After a pause, he continued: "The monks we come into contact with now are all in the Yunhe realm. The speed of the sword may not be too fast, and the naked eye can catch it, but as the cultivation level improves, one day, many strong people will take action. The speed is difficult for the naked eye to detect. How will you respond at that time? If you rely solely on your own perception, you may not have time to react. But if you can cultivate the secret technique of the mind's eye, it will be different. I can't see, and with the long sword in my hand, the enemy can't even think of getting close. The secret technique of the mind's eye is unique to my Kuangdao sect. It is similar to the sword heart of the Beixuan Sword Sect. My attainments in this secret technique are also wonderful. He is just a beginner, so he can only defend against attacks within half a foot."

Lu Ye suddenly realized, no wonder that every time he attacked, Xia Liang only reacted when he was about half a foot away. It turned out that this secret technique had a range.

He asked with great interest: "How to practice?"

This is the secret technique unique to the Crazy Sword Sect, and it cannot be practiced except by the elite disciples of the Crazy Sword Sect. If Lu Ye had not fallen into the Valley of the Fox Immortals this time, Lu Ye would never have been able to touch this thing.

Suddenly he remembered that when he was chasing Xia Liang and fighting with him, the opponent's defense really gave him a feeling of impregnability. If Xia Liang hadn't been too seriously injured at that time, he wouldn't have been able to defeat him with this secret technique of mind and eye. how is he.

Xia Liang showed a look of reminiscence: "When I first practiced this secret technique, I was under the care of my elders, fighting against different numbers of monsters, and my eyes were blindfolded. So if you really want to practice this secret technique, you have to experience it yourself and use your own body to remember the feeling of the crisis. Over time, with more times, it will come naturally. We don't have this condition here. You can practice it again when you have the chance in the future."

Lu Ye nodded slightly.

With Zhou Yuntian's previous instructions, Xia Liang would never attack Lu Ye, so even if Lu Ye wanted to practice this secret technique, Xia Liang would not be his sparring partner.

"Remember one thing, the use of the heart eye secret technique is based on one's own perception. The stronger a person's perception is, the easier it is to practice successfully."

"I understand."

The strength of perception depends on the mind, and the strength of the mind is closely related to the soul.

In short, the stronger the soul of the cultivator, the easier it is to practice this secret technique, and the soul... is Lu Ye's strong point.

After bidding farewell to Xia Liang, Lu Ye returned to his house, activated the formation, and asked Yiyi to be on guard nearby, and then he took out the Xiguo core from the storage space.

There is indeed no condition for practicing the secret art of the heart and eyes in the Fox Fairy Valley, because there is no suitable sparring partner, but the Xiguo core in Lu Ye's hand can provide him with the best practice environment.

In the past, when he entered the mirage realm, he desperately killed the monsters in it to hone his swordsmanship, but as his cultivation gradually improved, the number of times he entered the mirage realm gradually decreased.

First, every time he entered the mirage realm, he would consume merits, and second, he usually had no lack of experience in fighting with people, so he didn't need to enter the mirage realm to hone his skills.

But now, if he wants to practice the secret art of the heart and eyes, the mirage realm is undoubtedly the best choice.

Spending a hundred merits, pushing open the door, Lu Ye walked into the mirage realm, stood still, and closed his eyes.

Just as he was ready, the nearby fog suddenly rolled, and a figure rushed out from it, rushing towards him.

The power of this figure was only that of a fourth-level cultivator in Yunhe, which was equal to Lu Ye's cultivation. He was wrapped in mist, and his appearance could not be seen clearly, and his gender could not be distinguished.

On weekdays, when encountering such an enemy, Lu Ye could chop him down with one knife.

But now his eyes were closed, and Lu Ye could only judge the enemy's movements through his own perception and some sounds, which was undoubtedly a huge test for him.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew in his face, and Lu Ye followed his instinct, unsheathed his long sword, and slashed with one knife.

However, this knife did not hit anything, but he felt a pain in his abdomen, and was injured by the opponent.

Another strong wind came, Lu Ye turned around, and the Panshan knife slashed out sideways, but still failed to make a contribution, and he felt pain in his body again.

A moment later, on the second floor, Lu Ye opened his eyes, and a stabbing pain came from his mind, which made his eyes jump.

An enemy with the same cultivation as him, a guy who could be chopped down with one knife on weekdays, but after he closed his eyes, it took less than a cup of tea to kill him out of the mirage!

How could Lu Ye bear this?

Come again!

After another cup of tea, Lu Ye opened his eyes again.

Come again!

After repeating this for more than ten times, Lu Ye's face turned pale.

Even though his soul was strong, dying from the mirage once or twice did not have any special impact on him, but too many times in a short period of time made him unable to bear it.

At this moment, he felt a splitting headache, as if his whole head was about to explode. This feeling was only experienced a few times when he first got the Xiguo core. Since his soul became stronger, he has never experienced it again.

However, dying more than ten times in a row was not without gain. With his eyes closed, he could hold on longer and longer under the enemy's hands, and even blocked the enemy's attacks accurately several times.

Xia Liang said that practicing this secret art of the mind and eyes requires personal experience, and using the body to remember the various feelings when the crisis comes. Therefore, every time the enemy in the mirage attacked, Lu Ye was perceiving with his heart, judging the landing point of the enemy's attack, and feeling the crisis born in his body.

Xia Liang was under the care of his elders, fighting against different numbers of monsters, and slowly practiced this secret technique successfully.

Compared with his practice method, Lu Ye undoubtedly has more advantages, because he is in the mirage, even if he is killed, there is not much loss, so the experience remembered by the body is undoubtedly more unforgettable.

Moreover, Lu Ye's mind is much stronger than that of the cultivators of the same level, which is also an advantage for him.

He didn't know how much time Xia Liang spent practicing this secret technique, but he was sure that he would practice this secret technique much faster than him.
