The most important thing in knife skills is the essentials of chopping, slicing, whittling, and picking!
Xiang Shaoyun was slowly practicing these basic movements without very deliberately pursuing any sword skills.
He kept waving, and every movement was very casual and smooth, looking natural!
But a true expert can tell that these movements are still a little tired and not perfect!
"The sword moves with me, and my body moves at will. The sword is like my body. My body and mind are one, and I can do whatever I want..." Xiang Shaoyun kept comprehending the essence of wielding the sword in his mind, trying his best to integrate the Overlord Zhantian Sword into his body and become a sword. A part of his body can reach the state he wants.
It's a pity that even if he understands this method, he still can't get into that feeling.
It's not that the Overlord Battle Sky Sword doesn't fit well with him, but that there is always a layer of fog that blocks his direction, preventing him from truly entering that state.
Xiang Shaoyun has been practicing swordsmanship for three consecutive days. Even if he has retrained the most basic movements, he still hasn't gained much.
In the past three days, Luo Yong Chengdu occasionally came to see Xiang Shaoyun. He found that Xiang Shaoyun was practicing swordsmanship, so he didn't say anything more.
Anyway, the elimination of Red Wolf Village cannot be done in a moment. There are still three months to squander it slowly!
On this day, Luo Yongcheng personally brought some good wine and food, and it seemed that he planned to have a good drink with Xiang Shaoyun.
"Brother Xiang, this is the Qingzhu wine brewed by our Qingzhu Academy. I guarantee you'll want to drink it after you drink it!" Luo Yongcheng became more and more intimate with Xiang Shaoyun.
A young genius like Xiang Shaoyun may not be able to become a king in the future as long as he is given room to grow. This must be something Luo Yongcheng takes seriously.
Xiang Shaoyun let go of the knife and drank Luo Yongcheng's wine. He immediately felt like a clear spring flowing in his body, and he couldn't help but praise "Good wine!"
This is indeed a rare wine. It is brewed from the morning dew of green bamboo leaves and green bamboo shoot buds. It may not be strong enough, but it is delicious and refreshing, and can eliminate all fatigue and irritation!
Xiang Shaoyun has been studying the sword for three days, but has achieved nothing. He is feeling irritable in his heart, and this green bamboo wine just happened to help him wash away this feeling, making him feel relaxed again.
"As long as you like it, many people think this wine is weak, but who knows the beauty of this wine!" Luo Yongcheng said with a smile.
"The most important thing about drinking is a state of mind. Those who are tired and worried drink strong wine. As the saying goes, drinking to relieve sorrow is not a strong drink. How can it relieve sorrow? As for light wine, it is drunk by those who are dry and upset. , it can adjust your mood, soothe your mind, and relax your nerves; compared to the two, light wine is more suitable for me now, thank you Brother Luo!" Xiang Shaoyun responded lightly while tasting the wine.
Now, he understands that enlightening the sword is not something that happens overnight, but requires accumulation over time and continuous understanding of the sword technique to achieve success.
He has only been practicing for about a year, and the time he has practiced swordsmanship is even shorter. It is somewhat imaginative to think that he can realize the unity of man and sword in just a few days!
"Haha, I didn't expect Brother Xiang to be a wine connoisseur. I really couldn't tell!" Luo Yongcheng said with a hearty smile.
So, the two of them started eating and drinking.
When the food and wine were about to run out, Luo Yongcheng cut to the chase and asked, "Brother Xiang, I see you have been honing your knife skills these past few days. I wonder if you have gained anything?"
Xiang Shaoyun shook his head lightly and smiled bitterly and said, "It can't be that easy! I originally thought that if I had perfected my sword skills, I would go find trouble in the Red Wolf Village, but now it seems unrealistic. I will set out to kill the thieves tomorrow!".
"This matter is not urgent. In fact, the reason I came here this time is to give my brother an opportunity!" Luo Yongcheng said seriously.
"Oh, there are such benefits?" Xiang Shaoyun said in surprise.
Opportunity, that is the benefit that any warrior longs for, but it is not easy to meet the opportunity!
He had to wonder what Luo Yongcheng’s purpose was!
"Brother Xiang removed the Red Wolf Village for our Qingzhu Town to benefit our Qingzhu Town. There's nothing I can't do to make this brother better, but whether I can get this opportunity depends on my understanding!" Luo Yongcheng said and paused. After a moment, he said, "There is a 'Forest of Swords' in our Qingzhu Academy. A peerless swordsman once stayed there, and he left behind the knowledge of his swordsmanship. I believe it is the best place for me to learn swordsmanship!" ".
"There is such a good place!" Xiang Shaoyun said with joy.
The intention of the sword is a more subtle state, and the integration of man and sword is the subtle stage of the intention of the sword; there is also a deeper entry stage, which is the realm of sword control, which is a way to use thoughts to kill enemies with a sword. and the realm of flying swords; as for the last stage, it is the realm of swordlessness, which is a state where the sword is everywhere in every word and deed, that is, the body is the sword and the sword is the body!
Xiang Shaoyun didn't know what kind of swordsman's sword intention was left in this sword forest, but it was indeed the best place for him to learn the sword.
"Yes, it's a pity that although this sword forest is good, in my Qingzhu Academy, one generation after another of disciples have not been able to understand the meaning of the sword, and now it is just a deserted place!" Luo Yongcheng sighed lightly.
"Where is this sword forest? Please ask Brother Luo to help you!" Xiang Shaoyun said impatiently.
"Haha, if I tell you, I will take you there naturally, but..." Luo Yongcheng said with a smile.
"It's just what, you say!" Xiang Shaoyun asked, and he secretly said in his heart, "Sure enough, the pie is not in vain!".
"If you can understand the meaning of the sword, I want you to teach the essence of it to my disciples at Qingzhu Academy!" Luo Yongcheng made the condition.
To teach the essence, doesn't it mean that Xiang Shaoyun is required to teach the feelings he has comprehended
These requirements are quite harsh. After all, no one wants to teach them what they have worked so hard to acquire, right
But Xiang Shaoyun nodded and agreed without thinking, "I promise you this!".
As long as he can understand the meaning of the sword, there's nothing wrong with teaching it!
"Exciting! Then come with me!" Luo Yongcheng praised.
So, Luo Yongcheng took Xiang Shaoyun to the sword forest of Qingzhu Academy.
This sword forest is located behind Qingzhu Academy, where the bamboo forest is lush and green, making it look extremely peaceful.
There are disciples from Qingzhu Academy walking around here from time to time. They all like to come here to practice, and they hope to one day understand the meaning of the sword!
When these disciples saw Luo Yongcheng coming, they all saluted and greeted him. At the same time, they were curious about Xiang Shaoyun who was following him.
"The forest of swords is right there!" After passing the small bamboo forest, Luo Yongcheng pointed forward and said.
