"His Royal Highness, battle qi is contained in the blood vessels of the human body, and the circulation of a hexagram or pentagram is outlined in the human body through the nodes. The most basic key to practicing battle qi is to speed up or slow down the blood circulation, so that it Generate a sense of qi, so that people who have awakened fighting qi can gain explosive speed, strength, endurance, and resistance to blows.
My method of cultivation, as your godmother said, should belong to a method practiced by ancient oriental monks. Unfortunately, it is only a fragment, and I have no way of knowing what will happen in the future. As recorded in the history books, after the end of the age of Dharma and the dark millennium, there are too few complete materials that can survive. We rely more on the classics found in some ruins to speculate and imagine the great magic civilization .
Dou Qi runs in the blood, and my cultivation method goes deeper into the body than Dou Qi. For example, Her Royal Highness should know the internal organs of the human body, right? Just like fighting qi outlines the blood circulation of a six-pointed star, my way of cultivation is to imagine an outline of the internal organs, and then use fighting energy to run along this outline. Therefore, compared with fighting qi, the internal force I cultivate is more inside the body. "
"Why do you cultivate internal strength? It's a long story. I left home to study in Morente City when I was fourteen. The family lost contact. I was only seventeen years old and I had to live, so I became a mercenary. Why, am I surprised? I, a quasi-noble, would become a lowly mercenary... "
"Your Highness, you don't have to apologize. It's okay. I don't mind. I was alone and had no one to rely on. I could only support myself and earn tuition fees. It was a bit difficult during that time, but I survived The only problem is that I can't find a high-level fighting energy that matches my attributes. At that time, I didn't know that the fighting energy passed down in my family was of the blood attribute. , you will not be able to advance to the Baiyan rank. It was really hopeless during that time."
"When I first arrived in Morente City, I went to the market and bought half a worn-out book. The main reason was that the book had a diagram of the structure of the human body, which was very similar to the pattern of fighting qi, but it didn't have the structure of a hexagram. I was also curious to buy it. I got it down, looked at it and threw it on the bookshelf. Because I couldn’t find a high-level grudge that matched my attributes, I was very troubled. One night I was so angry that I threw all the books on the bookshelf on the ground, and then go to bed.
When I woke up in the middle of the night, I felt that I shouldn't be so angry, so I went to sort out the books on the floor. I didn't light a candle, so I put the books back on the shelf one by one under the moonlight. When I picked up the old half-volume book, I suddenly found that under the moonlight, there seemed to be interlayers on the page where the human body structure was drawn, so I cut open the animal skin paper, and there was a thin piece of paper inside. silk. The painting on it is a bald monk, and the writing next to it is the way of cultivation... "
"His Royal Highness, you know that at that time I was worried that I could not advance to the rank of fighting qi. I couldn't restrain my curiosity when I saw this kind of cultivation method, so I tried it. As a result, my fighting qi stayed at the black iron rank forever, but the cultivation of internal strength was not enough. It went well. But I have practiced all the cultivation methods on the silk to the end, and I don't know what will happen next, what level I will practice... "
Lorist looked at Princess Sylvia. She was really satisfied with the story she heard. A little boy left home to go to such a distant place and lost contact with his family. It is a good story with a happy ending to have an adventure at such a desperate moment.
The last time I heard Princess Sylvia's godmother talking to herself, she believed that Lorist's so-called internal force should be a way of cultivation for ancient monks. Lorist's mind was wide open, yes, why didn't he push his own practice of Jinshuijue to this? As Lorist has repeatedly defeated powerful enemies, although others don't ask, they are still full of curiosity about what Lorist is practicing. It is really good to use the monk's cultivation method as an excuse.
As a result, the adventure described in a popular knight novel on the bad street was freshly baked, and it became the reality version of Lorist. On the contrary, Princess Sylvia firmly believed in what Lorist said, after all, there was no need for Lorist to lie to her.
Lorist immediately decided that he would not change this statement in the future. At this time, Princess Sylvia asked another question, what is the main difference between fighting spirit and internal strength
"It should be the external performance and internal explosion..." Lorist replied after thinking for a while.
"Your Highness, since the silver level of battle qi, people have been accustomed to using battle qi to generate sword light on their weapons to increase the power and damage of weapons." Lorist got off his horse and walked to a big rock by the side of the road: " Like this rock, can you break it in two with one sword, Your Highness the Princess?"
"I'll try." Princess Sylvia also got off her horse, came to the big rock and drew out her sword. With a flash of fighting spirit, the golden sword flashed, and the sword cut the big rock into two halves.
Lorist also drew out his sword: "From this point of view, there is no difference between battle qi and internal force. The main reason is that battle qi can produce sword light, but internal force cannot do this. However, using internal force on the sword, the result is different. It makes no difference."
Lorist's sword fell, like a knife cutting tofu, and half of the big rock was split into two pieces again.
"In terms of effect, the sword glow is more beautiful. But in terms of explosive power, the internal force should exceed the battle qi." Lorist picked up a fist-sized stone: "Your Highness, if you don't use a sword, you can use battle qi to get rid of it." Shatter this stone?"
Princess Sylvia thought about it, but shook her head.
Lorist clasped his palms together, with a stone in between, exerted his internal strength and pressed his hands, the stone in his palms suddenly turned into powder, and the stone dust fell down. Princess Silvia opened her beautiful eyes wide in surprise.
"That's what I feel. Internal strength is restrained and more explosive than battle qi." Lorist concluded.
Princess Sylvia nodded: "My godmother said that the ancient oriental monks paid more attention to the discovery of the potential of the human body, just like you said, introverted. Their martial arts are extremely simple, and the fighting spirit at that time It was not the same path, it was difficult to cultivate, and it was very difficult, so it was lost and lost in the years. It is also a kind of fate that you can get such a legacy of cultivation methods."
"Maybe, I didn't expect that the helpless actions at that time would have such consequences. I couldn't even cultivate my family's fighting spirit. That's why so many people look down on me. What are you arrogant about a black iron rank? Just like Your Royal Highness, you still asked me to go back and change the family's golden knight to compete with you..." Lorist laughed.
"You still said..." Princess Sylvia blushed, and said coquettishly: "You are a big liar, obviously the strength of a great swordsman, and you have the face to pretend to be Black Iron Step and me, a little golden swordsman Competing with swords is really thick-skinned, rascal..."
After getting along with Princess Sylvia for a long time, I realized that this 20-year-old golden swordsman is not an over-eyed and arrogant young lady, but a curious big baby. Her parents passed away when she was young, and she was deeply loved by her grandfather and nurse. After she grew up, she practiced fighting qi assiduously. She is like a flower blooming in a greenhouse. She is delicate and beautiful, but she has never experienced the storm outside. Curious about her experience, she kept asking questions about everything, although she was coquettish, in Lorist's eyes, Princess Sylvia was just a rich girl who didn't grow up.
It will take another day to arrive at the territory of the Kenmes family. In fact, this should be considered as well. However, since the Red River Valley Manor Castle was burned by the Norton family, the Kenmes family has given up this original Viscount territory and concentrated its energy on The eastern part of the Northland.
Along the way, Princess Sylvia always likes to pester Lorist, asking him to tell the story of his studying in Morente City and being a mercenary. Sometimes Lorist would irritate her, for example, the bad words of the second prince, commenting that his grandfather, the Grand Duke Feisabrun, was a warlord, which made Princess Sylvia go berserk, but there was nothing Lorist could do about it. , whether it is sword or speech, she is no match. But half a day later, Her Highness the Princess would come to Lorist's side again and ask to tell her a story.
Of course, Lorist also heard a lot of secrets from Princess Sylvia. For example, the great swordsman is also divided into four stages. Like the unlucky great swordsman Lu Yinsi who died under the super steel crossbow, he is only at the first level. He is lucky to become a great swordsman in this life, and he wants to be promoted to The second level is a dream.
The princess' wet nurse and current godmother Sandy is a second-level great swordsman. Like the princess's grandfather, Grand Duke Fesabrun is a third-level great swordsman, just like the only great swordsman named Jialinan left beside the second prince. Princess Sylvia proudly said that even though Lorist defeated her godmother, she was by no means her grandfather's match. Under his grandfather's sword, she guaranteed that she would not be able to make a hundred moves.
Lorist replied that it doesn't matter, he is still young and can live longer than her grandfather. When her grandfather is too old to hold a sword, she will go to her grandfather for a sword competition, and promise to defeat her grandfather with one move.
These words made Princess Sylvia so angry that she could only scold her for a long time. Lorist pretended he didn't hear it.
Princess Sylvia also said that the four stages of a great swordsman cannot be passed through age, but through epiphany. Just like the last time Lorist competed with her godmother Sandy, although her godmother lost, she gained a lot of inspiration. During this period of time, she stayed in the carriage all day because she was comprehending some feelings, so it was right Princess Sylvia's pestering of Lorist was also ignored.
It turned out that this was the case, and it was only then that Lorist realized that Princess Sylvia's godmother didn't feel ashamed of being defeated by his sword, so she refused to get out of the carriage after driving for eight days, but had an epiphany in the carriage.
Lorist smiled and said, "It's very difficult for Great Swordsman Sandy to learn something from my duel. Because she uses light and fast swordsmanship. When I found out, she adopted a strategy of being as immobile as a mountain." , using thick to light, precise to fast, it seems slow, but it just restrained her swordsmanship, so she suffered a disadvantage. If she wants to understand, I suggest her to feel the wind, whether it is light wind, light wind or strong wind Or Storm, as long as she understands the changes of the wind and feels the impermanence of the wind, then I believe she will understand and improve her swordsmanship to a higher level."
Princess Sylvia was stunned, and jumped up after a long time: "Thank you, Locke, I will tell her right away..."
…
The head of Kenmes had already been waiting at the border of the earldom. After meeting Princess Sylvia, he told Lorist a news. Just five days ago, the second prince led dozens of guards across the chain bridge. The destination should be The Eastern Wilderness Province of the Grand Duke Fesabrun. He suspected that the second prince might have borrowed troops from his father-in-law before returning to the north to take revenge.
Lorist said it doesn't matter, now that the four Northland families have formed an alliance, as long as the second prince dares to come, you block them at the chain bridge, within two days, our three major families will send troops to support, and we will never let the second prince back to the north.
With Patriarch Kenmes by her side, Princess Sylvia also paid attention to her behavior, she stopped looking for Lorist as before, and returned to the polite princess style again, which was rare for Lorist. Enjoyed a day of cleanliness.
The next day, Princess Sylvia and her party stepped on the chain bridge. After crossing the river, there was Makinohara Province. Lorist had already completed the task of escorting her. After bidding farewell to Princess Sylvia, he was going back to the family territory.
Princess Sylvia sat in the carriage sullenly, and her godmother Sandy Great Swordsman held her in her arms: "What's the matter, I'm a little tempted?"
"No way, godmother, I just think Earl Norton is different from other nobles, and the stories he tells are also very nice..." Princess Sylvia blushed.
"He is indeed a very strange person. I don't think I can see through him. Sylvia, have you checked his family's armed forces carefully? Most of them are black iron, and the rest are silver. Just pull out a team and yours. The guards are also comparable. Moreover, they are all veterans who have gone through bloody battles, and their murderous aura is heavy, which is stronger than your guards who have not experienced actual combat.
But what is strange to me is that here, there are such elite family soldiers, such excellent equipment, and they follow orders and prohibitions. It is comparable to the personal guards around your grandfather, but he has been nesting in the family territory. The Second Prince's 100,000 troops were wiped out in the First World War. If someone else had occupied the entire Northland long ago. But what did he do? He even signed an alliance agreement with the three families, and handed over the benefits that should have been exclusive to the Norton family to others!
I don't know what to say about his behavior, I can't say he is stupid, but he is definitely not ambitious. Now that the war is waiting, all the forces in the former empire are vigorously preparing for the war. In more than a year, the peace agreements signed between those kingdoms and duchies will expire, when troubled times will come, and wars will be everywhere. Even your grandfather is worried about the future of the family.
Your grandfather is a conceited person. If it wasn't for the soldiers of the border guards, he would not have supported the second prince, a wild wolf. The younger generation of the Feisabrun family has no outstanding talents except you. Your grandfather knows that he has offended many people, so he puts his hope of saving the family on you. An unambitious person like Earl Norton will never get into your grandfather's eyes, and he will never allow you to associate with him... "
Great Swordsman Sandy lovingly stroked Princess Sylvia's hair, but he sighed in his heart. This girl has been high-sighted since she was a child. How could this humble Earl Norton be remembered by her? This is a difficult matter. .
"Godmother, you talk nonsense, I don't want to associate with him, he is too hateful, he also speaks bad things about grandpa, saying that when grandpa is old and can't hold a sword, he will go to grandpa for a competition, and he can defeat grandpa with one move , that's so disgusting..." Princess Sylvia buried her face in the arms of the great swordsman Sandy, the two of them stopped talking, only the sound of the wheels rattling...
