Chapter 82: Yinfeng Sword (Second Update)
With Shi Xuan and Yu Ruoshui's cultivation, they were already immune to cold and heat. The cold they felt now was naturally caused by the cold wind blowing out of the cave.
When the cold wind reached the two of them, it no longer felt as cold as in the cave, but it still contained a lot of coldness. Even if you close your eyes, you will find that you can't tell where the wind came from. It was erratic and seemed to be blowing from any direction.
Yu Ruoshui rubbed his hands and smiled bitterly: "No wonder the two disciples just now were wearing so thick clothes. They would really freeze if they stayed here for a day."
Shi Xuan poked his head and looked at the entrance of the cold wind cave: "Should we try to temper our bodies with the cold wind that was blown out?"
"How is it possible? I heard that many outer disciples had thought about tempering their bodies with the cold wind that was blown out when they were on duty here, but the cold wind that left the cave and merged with the outside world, when it came to us, it no longer felt cold and cold, but was simply a little colder than winter."
Shi Xuan nodded, but still planned to give it a try. After all, other people's experience is other people's experience, which can only be used as a reference, not as a guide.
He closed his mind and concentrating, visualizing the Five Thunder Gods' True Form Diagram, and began to temper his body from the inside out. In the soul's feeling, the cold wind blew through his body, and the coldness in it invaded his skin, penetrated his meridians, and internal organs. Although it was not strong, it was very eye-catching under the soul's candlelight.
Through the connection established by the Five Thunder Gods' True Form Diagram, the soul commanded the internal organs to start moving, and finally found a way to eliminate the coldness. In the process of eliminating it, the places invaded by the coldness were also developing in a good direction.
After stopping a round of practice, Shi Xuanchang sighed. The effect of tempering the body was still stronger than before, and it was also very objective after a long time. Why did those outer disciples say that there was no effect?
When he opened his eyes, he saw Yu Ruoshui looking at him with curious eyes: "How is it, is there any effect?"
Shi Xuan told his feelings again, and Yu Ruoshui was also puzzled: "Then I'll try it." After that, he closed his eyes and began to visualize and practice.
Most of the exercises have methods to temper the body in the out-of-body stage, but they are not as profound as the Five-sided Thunder God True Form Diagram. However, this may be the reason why it is not mentioned in the "Baolu". This is common sense.
After a while, Yu Ruoshui finished practicing: "I practiced the fire-based exercises to fight against the cold, and the effect is better than other exercises. But even so, this effect is much worse than taking the Peiyuan Queti Pill, which tempers the body from the inside out. If I had practiced here, I would have accumulated merits and exchanged for one pill."
Shi Xuan understood the reason. There was no effect, just a comparison with the pill, but it was just right for him. This place was simply his own treasure land for practice. If this task could only be taken once every month, Shi Xuan would have hoped that Meng Yuchang would arrange this task for him every month.
Although Shi Xuan could also come to the cave to practice at ordinary times, he couldn't do so. If Meng Yuchang found out that he liked this place, he would probably not arrange this task for him. If you want to get it, you must give it up first.
"Sister Yu, just treat it as something better than nothing. Anyway, we have to be on duty here." Shi Xuan couldn't explain Qingyue's reasoning to Yu Ruoshui for the time being. He could only encourage her to practice first. When she saw the benefits of practicing with control over taking pills, she would naturally understand what to do.
Yu Ruoshui nodded: "It can only be like this."
People who practice Taoism all focus on practice. After Shi Xuan and Yu Ruoshui chatted for a few words, they began to practice.
It was not until noon that Shi Xuan opened his eyes and stood up to walk around after being tired of practicing, waiting for lunch to be delivered.
Looking back, Yu Ruoshui was still sitting cross-legged practicing, with a focused expression, and a different kind of charm. Although she was from a relatively wealthy family, her perseverance and hard work were also important factors in her being able to get to where she is now.
Shi Xuan walked around for a while, thinking of the Yinfeng Sword and Xinfeng Sword that he had not yet practiced. Suddenly, he had an idea. Isn't this the Yinfeng Cave? He had repeatedly failed to visualize the divine will of Yinfeng, so he could learn from it.
Shi Xuan immediately took action, and sat down again to visualize. The reason why he failed to practice Yin Feng Sword before was that he could not visualize Yin Feng's divine will. It was not that Yin Feng's divine will was difficult to visualize, but that it was necessary to visualize Yin Feng's divine will, which was harmful to the soul. Under the self-protection of the soul, it was naturally difficult to succeed.
After entering the visualization state, Shi Xuan was not in a hurry to visualize the divine will, but let go of his divine thoughts and felt the Yin Feng around him. He did not know where it came from or where it would go. It was ethereal and cold, which hurt the body. This was Yin Feng.
As Shi Xuan tried to figure out Yin Feng's divine will over and over again, the feeling of the external Yin Feng seemed to slowly move into his soul, blowing his soul to tremble.
At the moment when the soul's self-protection was activated, Shi Xuan integrated this soul power into the sword intent. In the visualization, a sword intent of cutting the wind was chopped out, which wrapped up Yin Feng's divine will and transformed into a Yin Feng sword intent that flew out of the soul.
The soul reflected back to the body, Shi Xuan moved his fingers, and a beam of light slashed at a huge rock on the opposite side. This light was ethereal and uncertain, coming and going without a trace. The huge rock was suddenly broken into several pieces. It was impossible to tell which part was hit by the sword. The stone in the cracks was decayed like powder by the cold power.
"Junior Brother Shi, this sword is so mysterious." It was Yu Ruoshui who was awakened by this sword.
Shi Xuan was in a good mood: "I just practiced the Yinfeng Sword in "The True Art of the Six Swords of Slashing the Wind", and I didn't expect it to be so powerful."
Yu Ruoshui looked at the boulder with envy: "What a good swordsmanship."
Remembering that Yu Ruoshui was a lover of swordsmanship, Shi Xuan took back the Wanxiang Shadowless Sword and said to her, "Senior Sister Yu, do you want to learn this swordsmanship?"
"Is it okay?" Yu Ruoshui said hesitantly. Kung Fu, sword skills, etc. are everyone's secrets.
In the Penglai sect, martial arts are not allowed to be taught privately. Firstly, it means that they are not allowed to be passed on to outsiders privately. Secondly, they are not allowed to be taught privately to people who are not qualified to practice. For example, the three major true teachings cannot be passed on privately to inner disciples, and the five major martial arts It cannot be passed on privately to outside disciples. As for those who are qualified to practice, the sect encourages exchanges and exchanges. However, some monks consider their unique skills to be a way to save their own lives and rarely communicate.
The sect's good deeds cannot be traded privately, but elixirs, exercises, spiritual stones, etc. can be given away privately, otherwise the family's children would not be able to redeem so many good deeds. Moreover, the elixirs, exercises, and spiritual stones traded privately can also be exchanged for good deeds. This does seem to be a major loophole in the sect's precepts, but Shi Xuan feels that there is some deep meaning in it.
"Of course it's no problem. If you feel sorry for me, Senior Sister Yu, you can choose one of your thirty-six sword skills in exchange." Shi Xuan didn't want Yu Ruoshui to leave any knot in his heart.
Yu Ruoshui thought for a moment and smiled: "Okay, that's it. Anyway, the sect advocates exchanges and exchanges among disciples. Later I will teach you the Yanyang Sword in the Thirty-Six Sword Techniques of Zhuri, although it is not as good as yours, Junior Brother Shi." The Lu Sword Technique is so powerful, but it has no other uses. "
So Shi Xuan slowly explained to Yu Ruoshui the visualization methods, moves, and insights of Yin Feng Sword. When Yu Ruoshui heard something he didn't understand, he immediately asked Shi Xuan without any hesitation.
During the teaching and learning process, Shi Xuan gained a deeper understanding of the Yin Feng Sword. He no longer needed to cross-legged and meditate before using the sword movement. Instead, he integrated this divine intention into the sword movement. From now on, every time the Yin Feng Sword movement is used, he will be able to use it. Nature affects the soul and brings this divine will into it, which can be truly used in actual combat.
After Yu Ruoshui failed twice, she finally succeeded in learning the Yin Feng Sword. She was extremely happy. Although she wanted to pretend to be calm, her two deep dimples betrayed her ruthlessly.
After that, Yu Ruoshui taught Shi Xuan Yanyang Sword. This sword technique is somewhat similar to the "Sun Sword" that Shi Xuan used to kill in the Middle Earth. However, it is only similar in results. In terms of application techniques, But there is a big difference.
"The Divine Sword of the Sun" uses a specially made sword and a special way to draw the sword, which amplifies the tiny light into a strong light to temporarily blind the enemy. The Sun Sword directly borrows the power of the True Fire of the Sun to create a dazzling light source like a small sun. By surprise, the opponent is likely to be completely blind, and the sword power also contains the scorching and violent divine will of the True Fire of the Sun. .
Because the real fire of the sun cannot be directly sensed during the out-of-body period, one can only visualize the divine will of the red sun and then integrate the divine will into the sword force. Shi Xuan also successfully learned this swordsmanship after several failures.
On this day, only eight or nine inner sect disciples entered the Yinfeng Cave to temper their bodies, so Shi Xuan and the others had a lot of leisure time. Apart from practicing, they only discussed and exchanged experiences in cultivation. It was dark before they knew it.
"I didn't expect that a day that I thought was going to be difficult actually passed so quickly." Yu Ruoshui stretched lazily unconsciously, showing off her charming aura, but when she came to her senses, she was filled with embarrassment. She was blushing, and her expression was very similar to that of her friend Zhou Dielan. She secretly complained in her heart about why she did such embarrassing actions without warning.
Shi Xuan pretended not to look sideways: "The sages often say that cultivating Taoism is not something done behind closed doors. It requires a lot of communication with fellow practitioners. Now it seems that this kind of communication has really gained a lot."
"Yes, but there are too many self-respecting monks in the monastic world now. Fortunately, there are open-minded people like Shi Xuan." After getting along for a day, Yu Ruoshui would occasionally call Shi Xuan directly by his name.
"Haha, does this count as Ruoshui, you are praising yourself in disguise." Shi Xuan did the same. He no longer called senior sister, senior sister, and then said with a solemn expression: "I have been observing for a day. This is the important place of the sect. Meng Yuchang and others People shouldn’t have the guts to come here to spy. They can just pretend to be tempered and then look at our miserable condition, so we are not afraid of others eavesdropping.”
Yu Ruoshui nodded: "At best, pretend to be miserable and let him see it, lest he think of more insidious ways."
"However, after I go back tonight, there should be some female monks who are familiar with Ruoshui to advise you. You must remember what I said, convey my complaints, and then pretend to be a little undecided, and wait until After they came to persuade me for seven or eight days in a row, you listened to their advice and distanced yourself from me." Shi Xuan carefully instructed Yu Ruoshui. She was used to being cared for by her family since she was a child and was not very good at cheating.
"Okay." Yu Ruoshui agreed helplessly.
