You are just making up the exercises, my disciple, have you really mastered them?

Chapter 77 As a teacher, I only preach but not the Dharma (please update)

 There was only a booklet and two spiritual crystals in the bag, and no other items.

Li Xuan looked disappointed.

 Xue Wuxin is a poor ghost.

I couldn't help cursing in my heart: "You are a demon cultivator. Isn't it normal for you to kill people and steal treasures? You are already fleeing to the frontier. Don't you plan to collect some treasures to use in the frontier?"

 “You are such a piece of trash, I’ve thrown your ashes away, it’s not unfair at all!”

 Looking at the bag, it was a very ordinary bag, not a storage bag or anything like that.

 Throw it aside casually.

“I don’t know if there are any treasures such as storage bags in the inner domain.”

I sighed in my heart, should I find an apprentice with a talent for refining weapons, compile a set of weapon refining methods for him, and let him understand them and refine things like storage bags?

“I don’t know how to refine weapons. Is it a bit difficult to compile it? I still need to go to the inner domain to find the weapon refining method in the inner domain and use it as a reference to make it perfect.

“Only in the inner realm can there be such a weapon-refining monster, right?”

Li Xuan thought about it in his heart.

However, after all, refining weapons does not make you stronger, so there is no urgency for the moment. We will wait until we can find such a monster in the future.

 Put away the spiritual crystal.

 Looking at the blood-red booklet.

Turning it over, four words came into view.

 “Blood Demon Sutra!”

 At first glance, it looks like a magic method.

But Li Xuan didn't care. He didn't want to practice these techniques, but just reference them to understand the martial arts in the inner realm.

 “This is actually a fragment of a book?”

Li Xuan was surprised.

The Blood Demon Classic is incomplete and part of it is lost, leaving it only a fragment.

Even though it was just a fragment, it actually allowed Xue Wuxin to cultivate to the master level, and even to the grand master level.

 So, with the complete Blood Demon Sutra, can one cultivate to the level of a great master?

Li Xuan looked through the Blood Demon Sutra, and it turned out that it was indeed a demonic method, which was based on swallowing the essence and blood, refining the essence and blood, and strengthening himself.

 The purer and more powerful the blood essence is, the greater the improvement will be.

 This is also the reason why Xue Wuxin is targeting Meng Chong.

It also records the special secret technique of the Blood Demon Sutra, the Blood Devouring Ghost Thread, which is used to swallow the essence and blood.

 “There are some ways.”

Li Xuan was surprised when he saw it, and the Blood Devil Sutra gave him some inspiration.

For example, the technique of swallowing essence and blood, and the blood-eating ghost thread.

Of course he won't make up exercises that swallow essence and blood, but he can use this as a reference to make up some more subtle and upright exercises.

“The new martial arts system is almost ready.”

 After reading the Blood Demon Sutra, Li Xuan had some thoughts in his mind.

In addition to physical martial arts, there is a new martial arts training system, but it is not perfect for the time being, it is just an idea.

 Furthermore, it is also necessary to find the right person to understand.

“The Blood Demon Sutra is a very powerful demonic technique in the inner realm, and Xue Wuxin is not a weakling among the masters... However, the Blood Demon Sutra is a Yin Xie type of technique, and it will be restrained by Qi and blood.”

The Qi and Blood Realm is as blazing as fire, which can restrain the evil energy of the Blood and Devil Sutra.

If fighting in the same realm, warriors who practice the Blood Devil Sutra will be restrained in every aspect.

“However, Qi and blood are also a great temptation for them.”

 Why does Xue Wuxin long for Meng Chong’s essence and blood?

 Why you long for Xu Yan’s essence and blood? It’s precisely because of this.

The blood essence of warriors in the Qi and Blood Realm is more vigorous and purer than those of warriors in the inner realm. It is a great medicine for the demon cultivators of the Blood Devil Sutra!

After reading through the Blood Demon Scripture, Li Xuan memorized the above content word for word.

 With a thought, the Blood Devil Sutra turns into powder and disappears.

This book of magic skills cannot be left behind naturally. If one day I am careless or forget it, and someone is found to have picked it up after leaving here, wouldn't it mean that a demon cultivator will appear?

Although Bianhuang cannot produce warriors, he can still improve his strength by devouring blood essence with the Blood Demon Meridian.

Although it is impossible to break through the upper limit in the frontier wilderness because of the disappearance of heaven and earth's spiritual energy, I am afraid that the strength can be improved to that of a fifth- and sixth-grade warrior in the inner realm.

 This is definitely not a good thing for the border areas.

 I have memorized this kind of technique, so of course I don't feel relieved until it is destroyed.

 …

 Outside Yunshan County, in the mountains and forests.

Li Xuan put one hand behind his back and looked at the sky in the distance.

Xu Yan held a sword and stood respectfully behind him.

“Disciple, you must remember that a master only teaches Taoism, not Dharma, so what I teach you as a master is the way of swordsmanship, not the technique of swordsmanship…”

Li Xuan raised his hand and folded a branch in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "As my teacher has repeatedly emphasized, practice lies in enlightenment and understanding the true meaning. The same is true for the way of swordsmanship. You should keep an eye on it."

 “Yes, Master!”

Xu Yan was excited.

Li Xuan pointed out a branch in his hand, and with a hiss, a burst of zhenqi shot out, shooting a hole directly in a big tree.

Xu Yan's eyes widened and he was shocked: "Master's swordsmanship... no, it's the way of swordsmanship, it's just powerful. Holding a branch in your hand and pointing at it, it's much more powerful than Xue Wuxin's sword energy."

After Li Xuan tried his hand, he began to wave the branch in his hand. The innate Qi was blessing the branch. It looked powerful, but in fact he was just making random gestures.

 It is all due to the extremely powerful innate Qi that he can show such a powerful and fierce momentum.

Of course, it cannot be said that the gestures are completely blind. Some sword moves such as cutting, stabbing, picking, crossing, and wiping are also danced in a decent manner.

After finishing the gesture with a crackling sound, Li Xuan put away the branches and asked in a deep voice: "Disciple, do you remember?"

Xu Yan nodded excitedly and said, "Master, I remember everything!"

 Have you remembered everything?

How can this be done?

Li Xuan lifted the branch again and said in a deep voice: "Disciple, look again, remember, what I teach to my master is the way of swordsmanship, not swordsmanship. You must understand its true meaning!"

As he spoke, he began to make gestures with the branches in his hands, but this time he danced slowly. The gestures he made this time were based on the shape of the Tai Chi sword in his previous life.

 The difference is that he uses the innate true energy to bless it.

It seems that he is dancing slowly, but it seems that a sword energy is forming around him. As he spins, the momentum is quite terrifying.

Xu Yan stared at it, but he was a little confused, why was it so slow?

 So slow, how to attack the enemy?

Li Xuan finished the gesture and asked again: "Disciple, do you remember it?"

 “Master, I remember everything!”

 “Where’s the one in front?”

  “Also remember.”

This apprentice has a really good memory, he can remember everything in one go.

 “Disciple, look again!”

 Li Xuan waved the branch again.

This time, the branches danced very fast, crackling and waving, and then stopped.

 “Can you remember it?”

Xu Yan was a little confused at this moment.

 Why are the sword moves different every time?

  “Remember…remember.”

Xu Yan nodded.

 “Where’s the one in front?”

 “Remember…I remember 90% of it!”

Xu Yan was suddenly startled.

He still remembered all the slow sword moves in front of him.

 But he only remembered 90% of the sword moves he performed for the first time, and he actually forgot a few sword moves!

 “Why did I forget?”

Xu Yan was very upset.

Li Xuan was overjoyed and said, "Okay, disciple, look at it again!" As he said this, he made another gesture!

Xu Yan was already confused: "I forgot, I didn't remember everything, but Master actually said yes?"

“Disciple, do you remember?”

Li Xuan put away the branches and asked.

 “I, I didn’t remember everything!”

Xu Yan had a look of shame on his face. He was distracted just now and didn't remember the sword move made by his master just now.

“Okay, okay, disciple, you are one step closer to understanding the art of swordsmanship!”

Li Xuan said happily.

What?

Xu Yan was confused. He couldn't remember the sword moves, so why was he one step closer to understanding the way of the sword?

 “That’s not right!

“I definitely didn’t understand the profound meaning of Master’s words.”

Xu Yan fell into deep thought, and his powerful brain supplement ability was coming into play.

“Master repeatedly emphasized that he only taught Taoism, not Dharma. What he taught me was swordsmanship, not swordsmanship...

“You want me to understand the true meaning and the way, not the sword skills, so what I have to do is not to memorize the sword moves.

 “But forget the sword moves!

“Don’t stick to the sword moves, don’t stick to the situation, understand it well, and do whatever you want...”

At this moment, Xu Yan felt that he understood the master's meaning.

 In his mind, he began to recall the sword moves that the master had just performed, fast, slow, swift, tricky...

 Gradually, the sword moves before and after overlapped and merged in his mind, and slowly it was like a new set of sword techniques appeared in his mind.

 “I want to learn to forget!”

 Xu Yan warned himself in his heart.

 “Master, I have forgotten half of it!”

Xu Yan opened his mouth and said.

"well!"

Li Xuan was overjoyed. This apprentice has entered a state of enlightenment, which is a good thing.

 It means that he has already taken a solid step towards understanding the way of swordsmanship.

Xu Yan is indeed talented in the way of swordsmanship, and he is also very evil.

 “Disciple, please look again!”

 Li Xuan started gesticulating again.

˜ ˜ is naturally different from the previous ones.

In fact, every time he made a gesture, he had carefully considered it. The first time was a similar sword technique and sword move, and the second time was a Tai Chi sword, walking slowly but stepping on Tai Chi.

The third time is swift, the fourth time is cunning, and the fifth time is completely chaotic.

Fast and slow, there are no rules, and naturally you have to realize it.

 “Master, I forgot half of it!”

 Xu Yan spoke after reading.

 “Very good, look again!”

 Li Xuan continued to gesture.

 Next, he gestured several times in succession. Xu Yan was sometimes confused, sometimes thoughtful, and sometimes suddenly enlightened...

 In his mind, he reorganized all the sword moves, overlapping each other, merging with each other, or interweaving them again, over and over again.

 A set of sword techniques seemed to appear in his mind.

Li Xuan stood aside and watched his apprentice comprehend.

 The time is almost here.

 The compiled realm of swordsmanship should also be told to the apprentice, so that the apprentice can better understand the swordsmanship from it.

 If successful, this is another huge gain.

Xu Yan opened his eyes, with a slightly confused look in his eyes.

 He felt confused.

 A mess of sword moves were waving in my mind, and I couldn't find the direction at all.

The specious swordsmanship has never been able to take shape.

 He felt that he might have gone in the wrong direction.

At this moment, he has forgotten the swordsmanship taught by his master, and cannot remember at all how to perform the original swordsmanship.

 “Master, I forgot everything!”

Li Xuan said happily: "Well forgotten, well forgotten, disciple, you are not far away from understanding the way of swordsmanship!"

 Give the apprentice a tube of chicken blood.

Sure enough, when Xu Yan heard this, he immediately became energetic and his eyes lit up.

“Disciple, what I taught you is the way of swordsmanship. There are thousands of warriors in the world, but only a few can enter the way of swordsmanship. But if you want to enter the way of swordsmanship, you first need to break away from the category of swordsmanship.

“Don’t let yourself be imprisoned by swordsmanship and sword moves.”

Li Xuan turned sideways and raised his head. The mysterious aura on his body gave him a blessing, and his image as a master suddenly rose to an infinite level.

Xu Yan's body trembled and he said respectfully: "Master, please give me some guidance!"

“You can forget the sword skills and sword moves that my master just performed, which means that you are qualified in swordsmanship and will not be imprisoned by sword skills and sword moves.

“But it’s not enough!

“If you want to understand the way of the sword, if you want to enter the way of the sword, only those with a clear mind of the sword can step into the way of the sword.”

Li Xuan said in a deep voice.

 “The heart of the sword is clear?”

Xu Yan was shocked and asked respectfully: "Master, what does it mean that the sword's heart is clear?"

“The clear heart of the sword is the basic state of swordsmanship. Those with clear sword hearts are not limited to sword techniques and sword moves, and the heart of swordsmanship is clear.

“The heart of the sword is the clear heart of the sword, and transparency refers to any sword move or sword technique. It can be seen clearly at a glance, and the flaws, good and bad points of the sword technique can be seen at a glance.

“You can pick it from swordsmanship and sword moves at a glance, use them freely, and make them your own sword moves and sword skills.”

Li Xuan explained to Xu Yan the basics of practicing swordsmanship and the clear heart of the sword.

Xu Yan was shocked, "The clear heart of the sword means that the heart of the sword is clear. Transparency means that you can see the flaws, good and bad points of the sword technique at a glance, pick it up and use it as you like."

 In his mind, the scene of his master using his sword skills appeared.

Gradually, a set of swordsmanship that has not yet been formed emerged. I picked it out, overlapped, merged, and interspersed it.

If you can overlap and integrate them completely to form a set of sword techniques of your own, you can use them as you like.

 Is it true that the sword’s heart is clear?

He understood something clearly and said: "Master, the sword's heart is clear. Even though I have no sword skills or sword moves, other people's sword skills are my sword skills, and other people's sword moves are mine." Sword moves.

"The enemy's swordsmanship seems to be unobstructed and transparent in my eyes. I can easily see through his flaws and predict how his sword will strike..."

Li Xuan was overjoyed. Xu Yan was not far away from Mingwu's sword heart. The realm of swordsmanship he had made up was finally coming out.

“In layman’s terms, simply speaking, it’s like this. Being able to do this means that you have become a master of Kenshin Tongmei.”

Li Xuan nodded with a pleased tone.

“Master, I understand somewhat, but I don’t quite understand yet…”

 Xu Yan fell into deep thought.

“Disciple, the heart of the sword is clear, and you can only realize it by yourself. Once you realize it, you will start to understand it. If you don’t understand it, you will not understand it.”

Li Xuan said in a deep voice.

He doesn’t even have a clear sword mind. He just made it up. How to get started? What is the method? How does he know?

It all depends on the apprentice to use the monster's brain power and the monster's understanding to understand on his own.

“Disciple, first of all, the sword’s heart must be clear. Only when the sword’s heart is clear can it be clear, and a clear sword’s heart means that it is not restricted by sword techniques or sword moves.

 “You should realize it well, I believe you can realize it.”

After Li Xuan finished speaking, he left the mountain forest, leaving Xu Yan alone to slowly comprehend.
