Volume 10: Fuyao Chapter 8: Born with Sword Bones
Lu Qingshan did not show up directly, but continued to watch the sword fight between his two disciples from a distance.
——Perhaps the two of them are young, their cultivation is not high, their sword moves are not proficient, and they are just rough embryos.
But as they drew their swords, the spirit of sword cultivators was growing.
Then they can be called sword cultivators.
The sword practitioners would duel with each other.
The first and the fifteenth tried their best to advance with swords in hand, confronting each other.
The sound of swords clashing echoed like wind chimes.
In comparison, sister Lin Chuyi's moves appear to be more powerful, her techniques are more unrestrained, and she dares to fight harder.
As for her younger sister Lin Shiwu, she paid more attention to the refinement of her moves and their placement.
One gravity, one heavy skill.
This is also in line with their temperament.
My sister is an outgoing person in the first grade of Chuyi, and she is very generous and graceful in her dealings with others.
As for her younger sister, Fifteen, she is relatively more introverted and quiet.
Lu Qingshan was also unable to judge which of the two people's choices and preferences were higher or lower, stronger or weaker.
Kendo is inclusive.
All roads lead to heaven.
What suits you is the best.
But for now, gravity is obviously more advantageous than heavy skills.
——When children fight, the one with greater strength usually wins.
So, after dozens of breaths, Lin Shiwu, whose postures and movements became increasingly stiff due to exhaustion, was finally defeated by his sister Lin Chuyi's powerful sword. The iron sword slipped out of his hand and fell to the ground with a buzzing sound.
Fifteen's hand holding the sword felt numb and a little painful, and his eyes were filled with tears, but he held it back and didn't make a sound.
Although sister Lin Chuyi won, it was obviously very exhausting. She was breathing heavily, with big beads of sweat flowing down her forehead.
"Very good, very good. Under my guidance, both of you have made great progress. When Xiao Shanzi comes back, he will definitely look upon you with new eyes. Who knows, if he is in a good mood, he may even make you full disciples from nominal disciples."
When the fair King of the Rat of the West saw this scene, he put his paws behind his back, nodded his little head, and made a serious expression at the right time, pointing and saying.
"Chuyi won again this time, but don't get too complacent. Everyone has moments of glory, don't take one moment as forever."
"Although Fifteen lost again this time, don't be too sad. There is no such thing as a sky-covering thing in this world. There is always something that can conquer something else. You just happened to be restrained by your sister."
"Thank you, Uncle Xishu~" The two little girls, who seemed exhausted, nodded their heads with all their might and said in a tender voice.
The King of the West Rat was very satisfied.
She had been humble and subservient to Lu Qingshan for so many years, swallowing her anger and constantly comforting herself with the belief that "things change over time".
But the result is that Lu Qingshan is more vicious than a monster, and his strength increases at an absurd speed.
It's almost to the point that even an ambitious creature like it has gradually given up struggling and is prepared to be a "mouse" for the rest of its life.
Who would have thought that fortune is actually changing?
Lu Qingshan did not come back, but he sent back two little disciples.
It stood up all of a sudden.
If I can't bully you, can I still bully your disciples?
Acting like an elder, the Western Rat King was proud and satisfied with Lin Chuyi and Lin Shiwu who kept pointing fingers at him.
It was just about to continue "saying a few more words", but all the words in its heart came to an abrupt halt at this moment.
It widened its small pair of rat eyes, and immediately raised its paws from behind its back to the front of its body, clasping them tightly together, looking nervous and awkward.
"Lu Qingshan, why... are you back? When did you come back..."
What it really cared about was whether Lu Qingshan heard its word "Xiaoshanzi".
The two little girls, who were already exhausted, immediately brightened their eyes when they heard what the King of the Western Rat said, and then became a little nervous.
But no matter what, their first reaction was to immediately turn around and look behind them.
There, Lu Qingshan's figure appeared, just standing there looking at them, his expression calm, with an extremely free and easy temperament.
"Master." The two of them bowed quickly and said obediently.
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, then asked, "Who taught you the sword moves you just performed?"
Hearing Lu Qingshan's question, the two little girls' sweaty and dusty faces immediately showed nervous expressions, and they were about to cry.
Sister Lin Chuyi nervously replied: "Master, it's not someone else who taught us..."
"It wasn't taught by someone else?" Lu Qingshan raised his eyebrows, extremely surprised, "Then what was it?"
Lin Chuyi became even more embarrassed, fearing that Lu Qingshan would not believe her, and quickly said, "About half a month ago, when my sister and I were practicing martial arts, I suddenly heard a voice in my ears, and then a door appeared in front of me..."
Before she finished her words, Lu Qingshan's eyes flashed with great surprise, "You also saw the scenery of Tianmen?"
A sword cultivator can only be considered a sword cultivator after he begins to cultivate his own innate sword.
Therefore, when Li Qiubai opened the Heavenly Gate for all the sword cultivators in the world, only sword cultivators above the Foundation Establishment Stage should be able to see the view of the Heavenly Gate.
How could Lin Chuyi and Lin Shiwu, both of them were just kids at the first level of Qi Refining, have seen it?
Lin Chuyi and Lin Shiwu both nodded their heads vigorously.
"Then, a little man suddenly appeared in our heads and kept practicing sword moves. We followed him and learned from him, so..." Lin Chuyi finally explained the whole situation.
A villain appears in your head practicing sword moves?
Is that so?
Could it be...
Lu Qingshan's heart moved and he vaguely guessed something.
The next moment, he released his spiritual sense, extending it to cover his two disciples, and then his spiritual sense probed down from the top of Lin Chuyi and Lin Shiwu's heads.
Two gentle light sources suddenly came into view.
In the light sources, there is a walnut-sized golden spiritual bone, on which the spiritual energy is brilliant and the divine mist is blooming, constantly overflowing.
These are the heavenly branches and earthly bones of the two of them.
There are two natural patterns on the bones.
However, originally both patterns were dull gray.
At this moment, several were already shining with golden light, emitting endless rhythm of Tao.
How could Lu Qingshan not understand what was happening? He slowly exhaled and withdrew his mind from their minds.
He looked at the two little girls who were looking at him nervously and smiled gently, "You two really made the right choice to choose the path of sword cultivation."
"Ah?" Lin Chuyi and Lin Shiwu raised their heads, confused.
"The secret technique engraved on your natural spirit bones is actually a sword diagram."
Spiritual bones can help people prove their truth, enlighten their minds, and increase their understanding.
In addition, the spirit bone also contains a supreme secret method, which after awakening, will become the innate magical power of the owner of the spirit bone.
The supreme secret technique on the spiritual bones of Lin Chuyi and Lin Shiwu is actually a sword technique in essence.
In other words, both of them were born with not only spiritual bones, but also sword bones.
The understanding enhanced by the spiritual bones is also reflected in the way of the sword to a large extent.
Although it is not as domineering and powerful as his natural sword style, it is definitely amazing.
"Your natural sword bones have given you two a strong understanding of the sword. You can be said to be natural sword practitioners. That's why you also saw Senior Li's sword..."
Lu Qingshan explained: "The two secrets of your spirit bones should have been awakened after you two reached a high enough level. But Senior Li's sword caused part of the secrets of your spirit bones to awaken earlier."
"The little man practicing sword moves in your mind is actually the symbol of your sword bone awakening. The sword moves you practiced are part of the remaining sword moves of your spirit bone."
It is just a fragment, but it has the rhythm of Taoism flowing through it.
It is conceivable that if it is fully awakened, how magical this sword bone secret technique will be.
What's even more terrifying is that the patterns on the Heavenly Branch Spirit Bone and the Earth Cover Spirit Bone actually fit together and can be combined into a complete picture of the Great Dao.
In other words, the sword moves of the two of them will be a combined sword move.
The future is limitless.
Lu Qingshan could imagine that, if nothing unexpected happened, there would definitely be a place for his two disciples in the sword-fighting world during the Tianyuan period.
"So, these are not sword moves taught to you by anyone, but sword moves that are born with you. You two just need to learn them well," Lu Qingshan said with a smile. "Since your spirit bones have awakened early, if I am right, as long as you fully master the sword moves that have been awakened, new sword moves will also be awakened."
"Until fully awakened."
"That is to say, the awakening time of the Spirit Bone Secret Sword will be advanced by you, rather than relying on fate."
"The level and grade of the Spirit Bone Secret Sword are extremely high, and its power is also extremely strong. It should be extremely difficult to comprehend and practice. But this is a natural secret sword that grows in your minds and belongs exclusively to the two of you. So for you, the difficulty of mastering this secret sword will be reduced by countless levels. And if you can master it at a low level, in addition to giving you two combat power far exceeding that of cultivators of the same level, it will also bring great benefits to your swordsmanship." Lu Qingshan explained patiently.
This is what it means to have a bird's-eye view.
When the Western Rat King heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched and he felt resentful.
"Is this possible? Is this possible?"
"Is there still justice?"
"Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are determined by heaven..."
"The sky is so unfair and doesn't like mice at all!"
Lu Qingshan, his apprentice and his master are a bunch of monsters!
Damn it!
On the contrary, I, who am actually a monster, am so simple compared to them that I don’t even look like a monster…
Didn’t we agree that if we are not one family, we won’t enter the same door?
Why am I so mediocre?
The King of Western Rat felt a little aggrieved.
As for Lin Chuyi and Lin Shiwu, they were confused and bewildered.
But they finally understood. First of all, the little man practicing sword moves that appeared in their minds was a good thing. Secondly, the master did not mean to blame them. Instead, he encouraged them to seriously learn the sword moves practiced by the little man.
That's enough.
So the two of them quickly responded crisply: "Master, we understand."
"Yeah." Lu Qingshan nodded in response, feeling a little emotional.
The Heavenly Branches and Earth Covering Spiritual Bones awakened early during the Qi Refining Period. The reason why this unprecedented great fortune happened to his two registered disciples, in addition to the fact that Li Qiubai's sword opened the Heavenly Gate, a large part of the reason was probably due to the death of Chang'an Sword Immortal.
In the world of cultivation, there often appears a cultivator who is so talented that in his era, he makes everyone else look dim.
Aside from the fact that the cultivator was too powerful, this was also because the luck of heaven and earth was limited, and the strong would always be strong. The stronger the cultivator, the greater the luck that gathered on him.
When good fortune is concentrated on one person, it will be difficult for others to succeed.
Just like in a river, there will only be one dragon, and the rest are just small fish and shrimps.
The destiny of the sword is not as small as a river, it can be said to be a vast ocean.
But at the same time, there are too many small fish that dilute the luck in the sword path.
From this perspective, the reason why there are only three sword immortals in Chang'an is not only because it is too difficult to become a sword immortal, but also because the vast ocean of swordsmanship can only accommodate three blue dragons!
After Li Qiubai died in Kaitianmen, he not only expanded the sea of swordsmanship to countless miles, but also returned all of his enormous swordsmanship energy to the ocean.
If the old does not go, the new will not come.
Lu Qingshan is a beneficiary, and so are Lin Chuyi and Lin Shiwu.
There is no doubt that in the Tianyuan year after Li Qiubai, the world of kendo will enter an era of prosperity with many new talents emerging.
A whale falls to the bottom of the sea and feeds the creatures of the dark world for fifteen years.
"Since you have already started learning sword, then as your master, I have to teach you a few sword skills." Lu Qingshan thought for a while and said again.
"Just watch."
Afterwards, he taught the first and fifteenth of the dozen or so rough outlines of sword moves.
There is Zhan Feng, Qi Jue, Xia Daoyun's thunderclap out of the blue, the courage of the green snake in his sword, the sweeping of the world by Manghuang Demon Lord, and even Li Qiubai's three swords. There is no distinction between high and low, and no hiding of private things.
For the two little kids who had just started learning kendo, Lu Qingshan chose to show them as many different aspects of kendo as possible.
Let them choose and experience.
In response to the two's request, Lu Qingshan only asked them to choose one or two they liked to practice, and he did not ask them to understand them in detail, as long as they could understand the meaning.
Chuyi was attracted by the sweeping power of Demon Lord Mangcang, while Shiwu liked the Green Snake in his sword.
"When a man has been away for three days, he should be looked at with new eyes." Everything was settled. Finally, Lu Qingshan put away the gentle smile on his face, looked expressionlessly at the Western Rat King beside him, and said coldly: "You have been very bold recently, haven't you?"
The King of the Rat of the West suddenly felt as if he had lost his parents and his heart was dead.
Sure enough, as expected, he heard the words "Xiao Shanzi"!
Lu Qingshan shook his head and said with a half-smile: "Since you are so brave, next time you leave the sect, you should come with me to see the world."
The King of the Western Rat felt a chill all over his body.
It was happy to go out, but in this situation, it always felt that there was something ill in Lu Qingshan's smile.
But does it dare to refuse?
I dare not.
So it finally nodded its head timidly and said aggrievedly, "Okay."
Society is a gamble with your life, and wealth and honor are decided by heaven... Every time Lu Qingshan goes out, his strength increases dramatically. It's because I don't go out enough that I'm left further and further behind!
The King of Western Rat comforted himself in his heart.
…
Hidden sword sheath.
There are not many monks in the Sword Sect, and even fewer monks coming and going in the Sword Sheath. It is not as lively as the Dharma Storage Pavilions of other top Taoist sects.
But this does not mean that the sword sheath hiding method of the Sword Sect is not as profound and mysterious as that of other Taoist sects.
Lu Qingshan went straight into the sheath.
When he was in the Refining Void stage, he came here once to hide his sword scabbard.
Only that time, he went straight for the inner sword technique, and ended up learning the two explosive sword techniques, "Mind's Eye" and "Falling Star".
This time, he came here for the outer sword technique.
Moreover, he no longer came here to learn one or two sword techniques, but wanted to learn all kinds of techniques so that he could apply what he had learned to other situations.
Li Qiubai once said that one must look at thousands of swords before he can recognize a weapon.
Nothing more than that.
