“In the fourth realm, wooden swords have no companions.
If the heavy sword without edge belongs to the stage of lifting weight as if it were light, using internal strength, physical strength and the power of the heavy sword to suppress people with force, then the fourth stage is to lift people as if they were heavy and suppress people with force.
The light wooden sword can exert overwhelming power in your hand. With a wave of your hand, you can mobilize the power of heaven and earth and overwhelm people with its power.
I estimate that if you can practice swordsmanship to this level, you will basically be at the level of a martial arts master, and thousands of troops will treat you as nothing. "
“As for the fifth realm, the swordless realm.
This realm is just my guess.
In this state, the mind is no longer obsessed with whether or not there is a sword in the hand, nor is it obsessed with the technique of using the sword, but the practice of learning is natural and focused.
To put it simply, a sword can activate the power of heaven and earth, which is beyond human power to resist.
I don't know if the Grand Master can reach this level, but what is certain is that when he reaches this level, it is not an exaggeration to call him a land god. "
These five realms were finally summed up by Song Xuan based on his own experience in practice, combined with some records of warrior practice by Xuan Yiwei, and Dugu Qiufei's lifelong kendo experience in Jin Yong's novels.
Song Qian was stunned when she heard this, "Brother, did you really realize this yourself?"
"That's right, I'm not even innate now, I can only think of it as something I've figured out on my own. As for whether it's correct or not, I still need to continue to improve and correct it as my cultivation level improves.
Just listen to what I said. As for whether it is correct or not, you have to wait and explore on your own later.
The further you reach the later stages of your martial arts journey, the more you have to rely on yourself. Others’ experiences and insights may not be of much use to you. "
Song Qian exclaimed: "But it still sounds amazing."
"The most I can do is research how to break through to the innate realm, and then think about how to continue to improve my cultivation after being innate.
I didn’t expect that you would plan the path of swordsmanship to the level of a martial arts master!
Brother, I am becoming more and more confident that you will become the best in the world.
By the way, the five realms of swordsmanship, which realm are you in now? "
Song Xuan thought for a while and said: "The second realm at most. This realm pursues moves, and more importantly, the ultimate changes in moves. I lack a powerful swordsmanship now."
"Powerful swordsmanship..." Song Qian frowned, "This is indeed a bit difficult to achieve. You and I are not far away from breaking through to the innate realm. Ordinary swordsmanship is useless to us, and the most powerful swordsmanship in the world is Swordsmanship mostly has its owner.
Basically, it is in the hands of the imperial court and Jianghu factions, and it is not easy to obtain. "
She tapped her fingers on the table unconsciously, as if thinking about which soft persimmons she could pinch.
In the end, Song Qian said helplessly: "After much thought, the easiest thing to figure out is the evil-fighting swordsmanship in Lin Pingzhi's family.
But unfortunately, I watched Xiao Linzi practice swordsmanship a few days ago. This swordsmanship is not worthy of its reputation, and its reputation in the world has been exaggerated. "
Song Xuan shook his head, "It may not be exaggerated. It is more likely that there is something wrong with the training method of the descendants of the Lin family."
As a sword technique that can compete with the Dugu Nine Swords, the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique has almost reached the extreme in terms of techniques and changes in moves. Naturally, it is impossible to be weak.
Song Xuan, you have also been studying how to obtain top-level swordsmanship these days.
Now in front of him, the two swordsmanships that are easiest to master are the evil-proofing swordsmanship and the Dugu Nine Swordsmanship.
The sword technique to ward off evil is easy to learn, just take a trip to the old house of the Lin family.
However, to practice this sword technique, one needs to swing the sword from the palace, otherwise the body will continue to generate heat, generate lustful thoughts and evil fire, and it is easy to become possessed.
This fact really made Song Xuan murmur in his heart. He didn't know if his Pure Yang Wuji Boy's Skill could suppress the heat and evil fire in his body if he didn't practice it directly in the palace.
As for the Dugu Nine Swords, it is a little more difficult to obtain. You need to go to Mingzhou Shaanxi-Ganfu and go to Linghu Chong, the great disciple of the Huashan Sect.
I wonder if Linghu Chong has learned the Dugu Nine Swords from Feng Qingyang, the hidden boss of the Huashan Sect. If he has already learned it, it will be easier to operate.
With Linghu Chong's prodigal character, he would definitely not be able to stay in the mountains and would go down there whenever he had the chance.
As long as you plan well and find a suitable opportunity to tie up Linghu Chong, you can try to extract the formula of Dugu Nine Swords from him.
But it's hard to say whether it can be forced out.
Although Linghu Chong had no sense of responsibility regarding Huashan Sect matters and had a wild and unrestrained temperament that could not be restrained, he was sometimes extremely stubborn in keeping his promises.
This guy promised Feng Qingyang not to leak the Dugu Nine Swords. Song Xuan estimated that even if he tied him up or beat him to death, it would be difficult to get the sword secret from him.
Now, Song Xuan could only make two preparations for the time being.
It would be best if the Lin family's evil-proof swordsmanship could be practiced. If not, then he would have to use some shady means to find a breakthrough from Linghu Chong and try to plan the Dugu Nine Swords.
The brother and sister had a chat about their opinions on the art of swordsmanship, and at midnight, Song Qian left with still unfinished thoughts.
Song Xuan sat cross-legged on the bed, rarely practicing, but closed his eyes and thought about the future path.
.....
Three days later, the ship finally arrived at the boundary of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Prefectures, and the ship slowly sailed into the port of Yangzhou County.
I was lucky enough to encounter no pirates or bandits along the way. All the escorts on the ship, including Lin Pingzhi, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As soon as the ship docked, Lin Pingzhi began to direct the escorts to transport goods to the shore.
Song Xuan stood on the deck and looked around. After not noticing any danger, he immediately led Song Qian and Lin Daiyu to say goodbye to Lin Pingzhi, his little brother.
At the port dock, Song Xuan hired a carriage, and the three of them got into the carriage and left the dock amidst the sounds of the coachman driving the carriage.
It was early in the morning, and the road was still a bit foggy, but many people who got up early to work could already be seen outside Yangzhou County.
"Sir, where should we go first?"
After leaving the dock, the driver asked respectfully in a low voice.
Song Xuan glanced at Lin Daiyu, who was nervously looking forward to it, and said: "Go to the Yanyuan Yamen of Jiangzhe Prefecture first."
The Yanyuan Yamen of Jiangzhe Prefecture belongs to the highest salt affairs agency in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. The highest official position of this Yamen is called the Salt Patrol Censor.
Mingzhou Jiangzhe Prefecture has always been an important tax revenue center for the imperial court, and salt affairs have also been a matter of great importance to the emperors of the past dynasties. Those who can serve as salt patrol censors in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions are all highly trusted ministers of the emperor.
Lin Ruhai, the father of little cousin Lin Daiyu, is a minister whom the emperor values and trusts. Today, he is the salt inspector of Jiangzhe Prefecture, a third-rank official, and a proper local official.
