Elder Lan Fang threw Han Changsheng into the cave in Peach Blossom Valley, told him to find the exit by himself, and never made a sound again. Every night, he would drop some fruits and clean water. Han Changsheng could only rely on fruits to satisfy his hunger, not even meat. After eating a few meals, he felt that the turbid qi in his body had been exhausted, and he was so pure and ascetic that he could become a monk.
After confirming that Elder Lan Fang really wouldn't help him, and those gods were really unreliable, Han Changsheng could only rely on himself to find a way out.
Because these vines were extremely slippery and tough, his progress was not smooth, often two or three swords could cut off a vine. Not only that, but chopping vines also consumes a lot of physical energy. Often, one has to sit down and rest for a while after chopping a stick of incense, and the arms are also very sore.
Han Changsheng was in the cave, although no one reminded him of the specific time, but with the light from the cave, he also knew that a day had passed. There are only five days left until the old man Xuanji dies.
Han Changsheng was impatient, but he also knew that there was no use in being impatient. If he wanted to get out of here as soon as possible, he had to find a faster and more energy-saving method. So he slowed down, and while cutting the vines, he studied how to succeed once. After practicing for several hours, he found out the strength, strength and ingenuity of the sword, and he was able to cut off a vine with one sword. The moves learned during martial arts training in the past are useless, because the most labor-saving way to cut off vines must be unpretentious, and all fancy and confusing moves are a waste of energy for these dead creatures.
At night, Han Changsheng ate some fruit and began to rest. His results on the second day were much more beautiful than those on the first day. There was a large space around him, but compared to the countless vines around him, it was just a drop in the ocean.
Han Changsheng was so bored, he started shouting to the higher-ups again: "Hey, Elder Lanfang, I have made progress. You can see that I can cut vines with one sword. Should you let me out? I really am!" In a hurry!"
Elder Lan Fang's smiling voice came from above: "Good apprentice, this is just the beginning. If you are really in a hurry, find the exit quickly."
Hearing that Elder Lan Fang finally paid attention to him, Han Changsheng stood up stiffly, "Are you listening to me? You let me out first, and I'll come back after I change my name. I... I have a friend who is dying, and I Got to see him one last time before he dies! Really! I kid you not!"
There was no sound from above again.
Han Chang was so angry that he threw his sword: old man! Do you still have humanity? Didn't you hear me say you're going to die? !
No matter how much Han Changsheng yelled and scolded, Elder Lan Fang disappeared again.
Han Changsheng almost lost his temper. Before the sky was completely dark, Han Changsheng groped to get up, and began to chop the vines again.
The martial arts taught by Tianning is a collection of the masters of hundreds of martial arts schools in the world, not only swordsmanship, but also almost all weapons. For example, Luo Xin, the master of Dragon and Tiger Hall with the highest martial arts in Tianning Sect, there are almost no weapons in the world that he doesn't know how to use. He can master anything in his hands, even a piece of cloth can be turned into a sharp weapon for killing people. Lu Baibi and Lu Qingqian also use more than a dozen weapons. The weapon Lu Baibi likes to use is the meteor hammer, while Lu Qingqian's favorite weapon is the hidden weapon flying needle. As for Han Changsheng, he always thought it was enough to know how to fight, and there was no need to waste time learning so many weapons, so he only used the most common knives and swords. On this point, no one forced him. The old leader once said that if he can really use a weapon to the extent that he is invincible in the world, it will be more useful than his general knowledge of martial arts in the world.
When he was in Tianning School, Luo Xin once said that Han Changsheng's sword was too flimsy, because a large part of Han Changsheng's motivation to practice martial arts was to coax those guys around him who urged him to practice martial arts, so the moves were naturally more gorgeous. Although he has tried his best to restrain himself in front of Elder Lan Fang, but what kind of person Elder Lan Fang is, one can see through Han Changsheng's impetuous temperament from the way he subconsciously responds and the way he speaks and does things.
In fact, Han Changsheng could probably understand Elder Lan Fang's intentions. The reason why Lan Fang's sword is powerful is to pursue the true nature of the sword. All the glitz can be reduced to simplicity in the end, and no matter how gorgeous the moves are, they are composed of the most basic movements. And his process of dealing with these vines is the process of consolidating his basic moves.
Although he understands, he does not agree with this training method.
What is the use of Elder Lan Fang asking him to cut these vines? These were all dead objects, but no one would stand still during the real fight and let him study from which angle it would be more appropriate to chop. He can cut all these vines with one sword, can he really have a breakthrough? Besides, he can only cut off one of these vines with a sword, and if he wants to be fast, he can only increase his speed... Wait! A sword can only cut one? Can he cut off multiple roots with one sword
With a thought in his mind, Han Changsheng began to try to change the way he used his sword. Naturally, he was unsuccessful at the beginning, so he kept trying. One sword cut could only break one, so he made a series of swinging sword movements, and cut off the vine on the right side at the same time. Turning around and pulling again, another vine fell to the ground...
In the beginning, almost one or two of his moves would be interrupted because the sword was rebounded or slipped away by the vines. Later, he could make three or four moves in a row, and then a dozen or so moves in a row... Han Changsheng's movements became more and more intense. faster. Before he had to cut those tough vines several times before he could cut them off, but now, those things are as fragile as paper in his eyes; before he could only break the vines by chopping, now whether he chops, stabs, or swings , any move can be done quickly and accurately, and it consumes less and less stamina, and the breath of vines that have been chopped for an hour will not be messed up.
Han Changsheng was immersed in it, and gradually, he even forgot the passage of time. It wasn't until it was so dark that he could hardly see anything that he realized that it was night again. This was the fourth night he had been trapped in the Peach Blossom Valley cave. In two days, the old man Xuanji will die.
The weird vines in the cave had already been cut in half by Han Changsheng, but he still couldn't find the way out.
Han Changsheng took a sip of water, rested for a while, and shouted to the top: "Old man, are you kidding me? Is there really an exit from this ghostly place?"
Elder Lan Fang's voice came down: "As a teacher, I never lie." After a pause, he said, "My good disciple, you are indeed extremely talented and have excellent understanding. It took fifteen days for my teacher to reach you. You only need five days to reach this realm."
It took Han Changsheng only four days to split half of the vines in the cave. According to his speed, he could clean up all the vines in the cave in less than ten days. It took a full twenty days to find the exit. From this point of view, at the age of nineteen, he is already better than Lan Fang, who was nearly 40 years old fifty years ago.
Han Changsheng looked around in the darkness and smiled wryly. Only the last two days are left, can he still catch up
"Hey!" Han Changsheng raised his head and called, "Old man, come chat with me."
At night, he couldn't see his surroundings clearly, so it was difficult to split vines. He stayed in this ghost place alone, Elder Lan Fang was haunted, and he talked to him more than a dozen words in four days, but he couldn't find another person to chat with him, he was almost bored to death.
"What do you want to talk about?" Elder Lan Fang seemed to be in a good mood tonight, so he started talking to Han Changsheng.
"How old were you when you joined Yuehua Sect?"
Lan Fang said: "I started apprenticeship when I was twelve years old, and it has been seventy-six years now."
Han Changsheng stuck out his tongue, seventy-six years, that is really long enough. He said: "After staying for so long, do you know everything about the Yuehua faction?"
Lan Fang smiled and said, "I know better than you. Why, what do you want to ask?"
Han Changsheng laughed and said, "I said, our Yuehua Sect is a famous and decent sect, and our disciples must also be upright gentlemen. Are there any exceptions?"
Lan Fang said: "What exception?"
Han Changsheng said: "For example, over the years, have one or two been kicked out of the sect? What is the reason?"
Elder Lan Fang asked with great interest; "Disciple, why are you asking about this?"
Han Changsheng said: "I'm just asking, I'm just curious."
There was no response from above for a while, and Han Changsheng was worried that Elder Lan Fang had disappeared again, and was about to call for someone, when suddenly Lan Fang's kind voice came: "Actually, the rules of our Yuehua sect are very strict. But if you take a wrong step, you will be in danger of being expelled from the school. However, in reality, it is not the case. You must know that if you are a ranger from the beginning, you have to know, or have It doesn't matter if he joins a sect and quits on his own, but if he has been expelled from a prestigious sect, no matter how good his martial arts are in the future, it will be difficult for him to stand up in front of the heroes of the rivers and lakes. Unless he can reverse his old case in the future, Prove that his character is not stained, otherwise, this person's life will be ruined. Therefore, we will not easily expel any disciple from the sect."
Han Changsheng was surprised and said: "The things written in the door regulations, could it be possible to scare people?"
Elder Lan Fang said: "You can't say that, it's just that some favors are inevitably involved. For example, the school rules say that those who commit gambling will be expelled from the sect, but in the past few decades, the Yuehua faction has also arrested them. For three or five disciples who gamble in private, the worst punishment is to be removed from the rank of disciples and be reduced to lay disciples." The so-called lay disciples are only nominally in the Yuehua sect, although he did not expel him, he did Without a master who taught him martial arts, he is also not qualified to practice martial arts with everyone, so he can only do chores. "After a few months, the disciple who violated the ban left the Yuehua Sect on his own and became a loose person. Therefore, it is not considered that the Yuehua Sect expelled him from the sect."
Han Changsheng scratched his hair: "Then no one was driven away?"
Elder Lan Fang said: "Of course there is. If there is a serious loss in character, is it possible to keep him? I remember that a disciple of my generation was expelled from the teacher's school, and in the end he became a world leader. A notorious villain in the world, he died before he lived to be thirty."
Han Changsheng quickly asked, "Why was he driven away?"
Elder Lan Fang said: "When he disagreed with the other seniors, he drew his saber and killed that poor junior. With such a vicious heart, the justice of the world cannot tolerate him."
Han Changsheng was startled. So, the real sin is murder
Elder Lan Fang sighed: "You child, you are too impatient. Why, just because I have locked you up for these days, do you still want to defect from the sect?"
Han Changsheng hurriedly said: "Where is it, how can I do such a thing!" I just want to drive out the most powerful disciple here. This is the fate written by the dog god in the sky, regardless of Lao Tzu's business.
Lan Fang said: "Practice hard, you are not far from enlightenment. When you come out, the sword in your hand will be my gift to you, you can accept it." After finishing speaking , he disappeared again and never made a sound again.
It was late at night, and the lighting in the cave was not good, and it was even more difficult for a little bit of starlight and moonlight to penetrate. The whole cave was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers. However, Han Changsheng couldn't sleep. He has practiced to this level, cutting vines has become very easy for him, even because of the past few days of practice, all the stale air accumulated in his body has been emptied, and now his body is extremely light and full of vitality.
Since he couldn't sleep, Han Changsheng simply sat up, reached out and touched the vines in front of him, and then grabbed the sword Lan Fang gave him. Let's smear it for a while, and the sooner you finish the chopping, the sooner you can go out.
Since he couldn't see anything, Han Changsheng simply closed his eyes, exhaled slowly, and thought about how to draw the sword.
If these vines were regarded as enemies, at this moment, all around him were enemies, and what he had to do was to cut down all these enemies.
Han Changsheng hesitantly took out a sword, and chopped on the slippery vine. With the strength of the sword's return, Han Changsheng knew that the vine was not broken. This sword failed.
He took a deep breath, held the sword steady, drew the sword again, and finally cut off the vine.
Just as he made little progress during the day, in the dark, he also began to grope step by step to speed up his efficiency. He can't see, but he can hear. His sword can move the vines, and the vines are piled up layer by layer. If one moves, several will move at the same time, and he can identify the direction. He started to increase the combo again, one plant, two plants, three plants...
His movements became smoother and smoother. If someone could see the night scene clearly, Han Changsheng would be like a flying bird at this time, with a light and strong body, holding everything in his own hands.
Suddenly, he seemed to have a real epiphany. Although these vines are dead objects, the real enemy is not more difficult to deal with than them. In the process of speeding up his actions, Han Changsheng had completely abandoned those flashy swordsmanship. There was an empty space in his mind, and he was in it, surrounded by enemies. The enemy attacked him, he swung his sword, and fell the enemy...
Vines are not dead at all! Their shapes are changeable. If they want to cut off the vines, they have to pay attention to the angle and strength of their strikes. Even if they are a living person, they are nothing more than that. And the vines are so dense, as if there are enemies in all directions, Han Changsheng wants to cut down these vines at the fastest speed, which means that he needs to deal with these enemies in the shortest time. He is rehearsing in his mind, when he can really achieve satisfactory results, he will replace those vines with several enemies, no matter how dazzling moves the enemies use to confuse him, he can immediately find out the enemy's weakness and break.
His sword has indeed returned to simplicity. It is because of its simplicity that all kinds of moves can be cracked. When he understands what his purpose is and sees through what other people's purpose is, his sword intent reaches its peak, the sword moves with his heart, and his heart moves at will, he has the illusion that he has become a sword. Everything is under control.
Suddenly, Han Changsheng's feet were empty, and one foot stepped into a hollow. Han Changsheng was taken aback for a moment, and immediately squatted down to touch it. It was a hole that one person could pass through.
He finally found it! The exit to the ground of Peach Blossom Valley!
