Meng Chuan carefully read the biographical stories, some of which were written by big families for a certain ancestor to promote their ancestors! Some are really famous, biographical stories written spontaneously by the people. Even some of the most famous gods and demons have dozens of versions of biographical stories. There are also sects that actively write biographies for gods and demons. The most exaggerated one was written by the gods and demons himself, hoping to let the younger generation remember his deeds.
"These biographical stories are mainly storytelling, which are useful to my practice, and sometimes only a few sentences in a book. Even a biographical story, I didn't find anything useful."
"Furthermore, some of these stories are highly credible, and some are not. They also need to be classified."
After all, Meng Chuan is a child of the Shenmo family, and he has been taught systematically by the Jinghu Daoist Academy. His foundation is very solid, and he has practiced the top sword skills to the point of great success, and he is only a step away from the "Unity Realm".
With such a foundation...
It is more useful to distinguish which ones from biographical stories.
"Practice the sword without heart, you are just a slave to the sword. Practice the sword with your heart, and you will become the master of the sword." Meng Chuan saw a sentence in the biographical story that the Northland Sword Emperor pointed out to his younger generation.
Meng Chuan stared at this sentence, thinking: "The Sword Emperor of the Northland, the junior he pointed out was also a strong man in the flawless state. At that time, the junior's swordsmanship had at least reached the unity state. It should be regarded as hard work in normal practice. But Bei The Earth Sword Emperor also said this sentence... Obviously, in his opinion, the swordsmanship of the strong in the Leak-free Realm is still insufficient in cultivation."
…
Meng Chuan continued to read the biographies of gods and demons.
Occasionally, a few words or even a deed left by a certain god and demon will arouse some speculations by Meng Chuan.
To ordinary people it is just a story.
In the eyes of those who are interested, they can see some reasons why those gods and demons are powerful.
"One move is fresh, you can eat it all over the world. You only need one move to kill the enemy. As long as you practice the strongest move, it is enough. What's the use of practicing those messy ones." This is a biographical story written three thousand years ago. One of the conversations between Wei Feng, a powerful god and demon 'Magic Sword', and his disciples. A total of fifteen versions of the biography of Wei Feng, the Demon Sword, were found on the market in Dongning Prefecture.
Among them, there are words like "One move is fresh, it can be eaten all over the world, it only takes one move to kill the enemy, and it is enough to practice the strongest move." Similar words.
Meng Chuan also recorded it.
In addition to biographical stories, Meng Chuan also attaches great importance to the family mottos of some famous gods and demon families that have been handed down.
Family training is left by the gods and demons to the younger generations, and it is generally something that the gods and demons consider extremely important.
The more he recorded, Meng Chuan was secretly startled.
"If you learn from it, you can only learn from it; if you learn from it, you will be inferior. It is the strongest mythology in history. This is true! But the biographical stories are all scraps and pieces. If you don't have a deep enough foundation, you will be It's easy to go astray." Meng Chuan clearly understands this, because he has seen the family training of many families, and they attach great importance to the foundation of cultivation.
It is clearly ordered that the family disciples must enter the Taoist temple and carry out a complete system of cultivation.
Because the Taoist Temple... was established by the oldest sect in the world, 'Yuanchu Mountain', in every big city of the Zhou Dynasty. The teaching system of the Taoist Academy was formulated by Yuanchu Mountain. Only by cultivating in a monastery can one have a solid enough foundation.
Of course, it's just the basics of teaching. Meng Chuan's sword technique is just a step away. He has taught him everything that needs to be taught in the seven years of cultivation in the Taoist monastery. What he needs more is to explore by himself.
"My foundation is sufficient, what is needed now is the final breakthrough."
"A lot of the things I have recorded in my day have inspired me."
"However, there is no rush. I will briefly read these books, and then organize and merge them. Some principles of practice, at least three gods and demons have said it, so that they can be more trustworthy."
…
day after day.
The more Meng Chuan collects, the more he integrates. Combined with some "iron rules of practice" of Jinghu Taoist Temple, those are some practice rules set by Yuanchu Mountain.
The combination of the two made Meng Chuan understand more.
"alright."
In the evening, Meng Chuan looked at his notes in front of him and smiled.
"These five days are more important than my five years of practice." Meng Chuan looked at the notes in front of him a little excitedly, and he had a clearer understanding of practice.
The first rule of practice is that the foundation is extremely important, just like the foundation of a house. It is the best choice to enter a Taoist monastery for a complete practice.
Number two, frequency is very important. No matter how many fantasies you have in your head, it is not as good as practicing 10,000 times! Draw the sword ten thousand times every day, and practice "blood shadow stabbing" ten thousand times every day. Twelve gods and demons have said similar things.
Article 3, one trick, eat it all over the world! There are similarities with the second one. It really only takes one move to kill the enemy. If one move is cultivated to the extreme, it is more effective than ten more powerful killing moves.
Article 4: Cultivation is really hard, if you endure hardships and grind your teeth to practice, you are only a craftsman after all! Only by truly enjoying it, being obsessed with it, and carefully pondering the mystery of each move, can one become a master.
Meng Chuan also understood the true meaning of the Northern Sword Emperor's phrase "Practice the sword without care, you are just a slave to the sword. Practice the sword with your heart, and you will become the master of the sword." Ordinary practitioners seem to practice hard seriously, but this is not true yet Carefully. Really put your heart into it... really enjoy swordsmanship, be obsessed with swordsmanship, throw away all foreign things, and be completely addicted to it. Only by being so crazy can you have great achievements and become a master. Otherwise, it is just a craftsman.
Article 5, the day advances, the month changes, and finally achieves...
Article 6...
…
There are nine articles in total.
All of them have been mentioned by at least three gods and demons, and with Meng Chuan's knowledge, they think it is very reasonable.
"I practice swordsmanship for several hours every day, and my whole body is exhausted. No matter how tired I am, I just gritted my teeth to support myself. I used to think that I was serious and hardworking, but obviously I was not 'hardworking' enough. I should enjoy the swordmanship and be addicted to it , Think carefully about every move." Meng Chuan felt that this was his biggest problem. Cultivation is very tiring.
Usually he paints for an hour in the afternoon. This is his only luxury and a hobby that he has cultivated since childhood. In painting, the fatigue of cultivation will be forgotten, and the mind will be extremely peaceful.
In this way, he persisted year after year.
Now it seems that the mentality is wrong.
"As I was before, it seems that I work hard, but I am a craftsman after all." Meng Chuan couldn't bear it at all, put down his notes, and went straight out of the study to the yard.
In the yard, he began to practice the top sword technique "Falling Leaf Knife".
Different from the past.
This time it was only the first move of the Fallen Leaf Knife, the "Drawing the Knife", Meng Chuan put everything behind him and focused his attention on the knife technique, as if the only thing in the world was the knife in his hand! Immediately, take out the knife! Feeling the silence when the knife is out of the sheath, feeling the feeling of the knife cutting through the 'wind', the knife technique is still the same set of knife techniques, but the mentality has changed, and the 'seeing' has also changed.
I chose Kuai Dao since I was a child because Meng Chuan really liked it from the bottom of his heart. It's just that he became exhausted under the day-to-day practice, and his enthusiasm and love were wiped out. But today when his mentality changed and he felt the saber technique with all his heart again.
That love is waking up.
The knife was unsheathed without a sound.
The trajectory of the knife is like the traces of painting, so beautiful. He tried his best to make this track more beautiful and break through the 'wind' faster! Really powerful swordsmanship is aesthetically pleasing, and Meng Chuan's swordsmanship is also approaching this level.
Meng Chuan tried the same trick over and over again, making the knife faster and more silently, and cutting the 'wind' faster and faster.
Only after performing it fifty times in a row can it be considered as enjoyable.
"That's the way to practice!" Meng Chuan was excited, and followed him to perform the second style 'Spinning Moon'.
…
On the second day after Meng Chuan integrated his practice notes, in an underground hall of the Yun family.
"Hoohoo~~~"
In the center of the main hall, there is a purple flame rising.
A black-haired old man sat cross-legged in the flames, unharmed.
"Father, are you looking for me?" Yun Fu'an walked into the hall respectfully, but he didn't dare to get close at all. He could feel the heat wave rushing towards his face from a long distance, and the air was distorting.
"Fu An." The black-haired old man opened his eyes with calm eyes, "I just got the news that the old lady of the Meng family was severely injured when she resisted the demon clan in Anhaiguan, and I'm afraid she won't live long. Will go back to Dongning."
Yun Fuan was extremely astonished: "Father, are you talking about that Xiangu Meng?"
"It's her."
The black-haired old man nodded slightly.
"Could it be a mistake?" Yun Fuan couldn't believe it. "It's not that Meng Xiangu is the best at scouting. She can't hide all the movements in the ten miles. She doesn't need to rush to the front. How could she be seriously injured?"
"It can't be wrong." The black-haired old man said coldly, "King Anhai invited several skilled doctors for her. The old woman was too seriously injured and could not recover. It is no secret at Anhai Customs! If she If you stop fighting and live carefully, you will last seven or eight years at most. If you fight desperately, your life will be even shorter."
"Seven or eight years at most?" Yun Fuan couldn't help but said, "Without Xiangu Meng, wouldn't the Meng family be over?"
"The five great demon families in Dongning Mansion will soon become the four major demon families." The black-haired old man nodded.
A family prospered because of gods and demons.
Similarly, without gods and demons, the family would become ordinary.
"Their Meng family is not qualified to occupy so many positions in Dongning, so many benefits." The black-haired old man said coldly, "By the way, the marriage contract between Qingping and the Meng family boy named Meng Chuan, you also Go to the Meng family, ask them to hand over the marriage certificate, and tear it up on the spot! Today's Meng family...is not worthy of marrying us."
"Yes." Yun Fu'an said respectfully.
"But before the old woman dies, there's no need to be too ugly." The black-haired old man closed his eyes after finishing speaking.
Yun Fu'an quietly resigned.
…
"What? Break the engagement?" Yun Qingping looked at her father in astonishment.
Don't you agree? Why did you suddenly change your mind
"Father just told you." Yun Fuan smiled and said, "Today I will go to Meng's house to help you break off the engagement."
"Will the Meng family obediently hand over the marriage certificate?" Yun Qingping couldn't help but ask.
"They will hand it over obediently." Yun Fu'an believed in himself. His father had received news from his friends. The Meng family must have known about their ancestors. .
Yun Qingping said repeatedly: "Father, I want to dissolve the engagement, but I don't want to tear myself apart and ruin the harmony between the two families. Or, please invite Uncle Meng to come over and discuss it..."
"It doesn't need to be so troublesome." Yun Fuan smiled, "Okay, leave this matter to me, and you can just wait for the good news at home."
