The tree was about the size of a bowl, and was much bigger than the surrounding trees. After the master hit it with his sword, it really broke into pieces. The most important thing was that the master looked like a skinny old man. Even an adult with a sharp machete would have to chop for a while to cut the tree. The master actually broke the tree with just one chop. If it hit a person, it would make a crackling sound.
"How is it?" The master smiled and said, "There is no bad Taoism, it just depends on the person who uses it and the way it is used. This sword finger talisman may look insignificant, but if it is combined with the copper coin sword, as long as the Taoism is profound, it can also be a very powerful skill."
"Master handsome, I want to learn this." I was shocked by the master's move and immediately asked the master: "How do you do this?"
The master threw the copper coin sword in his hand towards me and said: "Use the sword finger charm to wrap the blade of the copper coin sword first. With your talent, I estimate that you can wrap the blade in four or five days of practice, and you can chop down a small tree as thick as a finger in a month."
The master's words seemed to be a bit sarcastic. I also know that my own talent is poor. I laughed, but it doesn't matter. The move just now was really powerful. It can even break such a big tree. If I go out to fight with others in the future, holding a glowing sword in my hand, I can break the hands and feet of others when I touch them. How cool
I took the copper coin sword and tried it. I had learned the sword finger symbol before, but I didn't practice it much at that time. I felt it was useless. I held the copper coin sword tightly with my right hand and chanted: "Hurry up and obey the order."
A little milky white light appeared on my finger. This was the sword finger talisman. I tried hard to expand the light to cover the sword, but the milky white light didn't move at all. I tried hard but it was useless.
"Don't use brute force, idiot. How can brute force work? Close your eyes and feel the 'qi' around you. Breathe slowly and try to integrate yourself into the 'qi' and then control the 'qi'." The master's voice rang in my ears. I quickly closed my eyes and sensed the qi around me.
This "qi" is not the energy in those novels, but the airflow. Fengshui bureau is based on the airflow. Drawing talismans is also to add the power of "qi" to the talismans, because only "qi" can harm ghosts or other invisible things such as evil spirits. Yang qi, yin qi, evil qi, and corpse qi are all kinds of qi.
I closed my eyes and felt a lot of air flowing through my fingers. I breathed slowly and calmly, trying to control the air in my hands as the master said.
This process sounds a bit like a novel about cultivating immortals, but it is actually two completely different things. This Qi is not that mysterious.
Gradually, the airflow slowly spread upwards towards the copper coin sword in my hand, but it was not enough. It only spread halfway. No matter how hard I tried, it refused to spread upwards.
"Okay, that's good. You continue to practice here. When your Qi can spread through this copper coin sword, you can chop down a peach tree with one strike. Then you can come to me and I will teach you something else." After the master finished speaking, he pounded his shoulder and said, "Just do it slowly. I'm old and my physical strength is not good enough. I'm going to go back and sleep first."
After the master finished speaking, he walked towards the house with his hands behind his back. I looked at the master's back and smiled foolishly, then continued to try with the copper coin sword. Although it didn't sound difficult verbally, it was very painful and very difficult. I just stood there in a daze with the copper coin sword in my hand. I didn't dare to go out to practice during the day. I would only go out secretly at night to practice and sleep at home during the day.
It took me three full days to master the basics. And it's not something I can do as I please. I can only gather the energy when I put my whole body and soul into it. If I lose focus, the energy will dissipate. It's a huge difference from my master's relaxed and casual demeanor. But even so, I was still happy for a while.
Then I took the copper coin sword and chopped the tree. I finally understood why the master prepared so many copper coin swords. Although the copper coin swords were tied very firmly, the tree I chopped was mainly because I used the copper coin sword to chop it. If the sword finger symbol was not controlled well, the copper coin sword would be broken up at once. Moreover, every time I chopped the tree, it was very tiring. The main reason was that I was too focused and mentally exhausted.
It can be said that I have never practiced so hard. I used to practice Taoism casually. I would draw two talismans when I had nothing to do. At that time, I felt that drawing talismans was tiring. But compared with the tree-chopping work I am doing now, it is much better. It is not on the same plane at all.
On the morning of the seventh day, I finally chopped off a peach tree that was not much thicker than my thumb. Of course, I was still very excited, even though that sword had used up all my strength.
"It took me seven days to master the sword finger talisman." The master looked at the peach tree I had chopped down, then looked at the seventeen copper coin swords I had broken on the ground, and finally nodded: "It's really hard for you."
"Hehe, as long as you work hard, you can grind an iron rod into a needle." I smiled. I have a feeling that my sword finger talisman is going to be awesome. Although I can only chop off a thumb-sized tree now, if this sword hits a person's forehead, he will either die or have a concussion. I'm already very satisfied.
The master nodded and said to me: "Next, I will teach you the second thing. This thing is much more difficult than the sword finger talisman."
"What?" I asked
"Draw talismans in the air," said the master. He was shocked, then he spread his legs and took a horse stance, bit his index and middle fingers on his right hand, then stopped his hands in the air and actually drew talismans. The blood did not fall to the ground in the air, but condensed in the air. I remember that a long time ago, I saw Li Shigao also use this trick. The master's speed was getting faster and faster. Finally, he drew a talisman in the air in front of him that was one meter long and one foot wide. Then the master shouted loudly, made a strange seal with his hands, and chanted: "Hurry up and obey the order." Then the talisman turned into a beam of light and hit a peach tree in front. With a bang, the peach tree was smashed to pieces.
My eyes widened when I saw this. This is a tree. It is not uncommon for Taoist priests to use talismans to fight ghosts. But how awesome is it to be able to use a talisman to smash a tree? And he even drew the talisman out of thin air. This is no less cool than Yan Chixia's: The Infinite Universe and the Universe Borrowing Methods
