"People who practice martial arts have always been called strong men in the world, those who have achieved both internal and external skills are called knights, and those who practice Xuan Gong and develop Gang Qi are called Sanren. When it comes to Sanren, there seems to be no difference in realm, only the strength of the battle, and one's own cultivation We have reached the end, just waiting for a sword and embarking on the road of swordsman. But not everyone has the inspiration to be a swordsman. Although Xuan Gong is becoming more and more perfect now, the possibility of inspiring inspiration after practice is getting higher and higher. , but after all, there are still people who do not have this fate. Who would be willing to stop moving forward after practicing to such an extent? The path of upward exploration of martial arts will never stop."
"This is how the Tiangang, which is located above the pure Gang, was born. The Tiangang is mixed into the Gang Qi with the power of nature, and merges into one. The person who becomes the Tiangang is called the Master of Wu."
"There are all kinds of natural phenomena in heaven and earth, and there are tens of millions of kinds of Tiangang in theory. There are frosts and cold, scorching heat and flames, and natural thunder and lightning. But these are rare and cannot be tolerated by Gang Qi. Nowadays, it is recognized that it is best to integrate Gang Qi. This is Yin qi and yang qi. That is, the essence of the sun and the moon, so Tiangang is also called Yin and Yang evil. Among them, yin qi is particularly strong in the devil's cave, and its texture is easy to mix with Gang qi. Someone has long summarized a set of fixed methods, so the Yin evil spirit in Jianghu is The most.”
Tang Zhao and Jiang Shenyi nodded after hearing this. It would be better for the Fu Sword Master to explain it - it is to mix the wind and fire materials into the fire material of Gang Qi. Forcibly mixing is not difficult for a swordsmith, but if a warrior is not a swordsmith, the compatibility of natural Qi and Gang Qi will be extremely tested. The two qi of yin and yang are the most inclusive, yang qi is widely distributed and yin qi has a high concentration, so it has always been the most popular.
Among them, Yin Qi is easier to collect than Yang Qi. If the Yin Qi was not taken from the Demon Cave with a little "incorrectness", Lord Yin Sha could have unified the human world.
However, it is not difficult for Fu Sword Master to mix the Tiangang, especially Tang Zhao has mastered the sword-making technique, and the Gang Qi he cultivates has its own nature and direction, so it is a matter of course to master the Yangsha Tiangang.
But Tang Zhao didn't care. The reason why he has been practicing martial arts diligently is to protect himself before becoming a swordsman. Talisman sword masters, especially junior and intermediate level talisman sword masters, are greatly lacking in combat convenience. It can be said that ordinary magic weapons cannot be fought without martial arts. But he still wanted to become a swordsman after all, so instead of spending all the energy to find Yang Qi and practice Tiangang, it was better to forge a sword quickly.
Jiang Shenyi, on the other hand, was very interested. He seemed to be averse to swordsmen, and he did not seriously learn the art of sword-making. Apart from playing with his pair of wings, he practiced martial arts and had the intention of practicing Tiangang. But he definitely doesn't like the Yin Qi, and most likely wants to look for the Wind and Thunder Qi.
"With Gang Qi, the warrior can defend against frontal attacks with swordsmanship. With the Tiangang mixed with the power of nature, the warrior can attack the swordsman. But once the distance is opened, the warrior has no power to fight back against the swordsman. My Zi Zi Gang is Add some extra means to the warriors.”
"The so-called Zi Zi Gang is to mix the spiritual will into the Gang Qi, so that the Gang Qi can leave the body and even stay in the outside world for a long time, and still remain under control. This idea is not surprising. Come to think of it, there are also genius masters in our predecessors. How could we not think of it? It's just the spirit It’s hard to survive for a long time after leaving the body. So I think the flaw of the predecessors was that they valued the spirit and underestimated the will. The will is stronger than the spirit and more stable than the emotion. The inspiration for my method comes from obsession.”
Tang Zhao said "Ah" and felt enlightened.
The spirit is a kind of quality material, which Tang Zhao has also studied, but there are a series of similar materials surrounding the spirit, such as emotions, consciousness, thinking, desires... and so on. There are endless possibilities for subdividing these materials, and you can even engage in a specialized subject and study it for a lifetime.
Swordsmiths are also divided into subdivisions, and one can study infinitely in a small field. Xue Laiyi did not research in this direction, while Tang Zhao was still in the stage of extensive learning and could not be called "research" in any field. After listening to the words, he immediately realized the subtle mystery.
He couldn't help but think: Being able to distinguish the subtleties of mental will and emotion on his own has touched the realm of the Talisman Sword Master. If Mr. Zhang were a swordsmith, he would be very powerful.
In this way, Zhang Rong rode a little donkey on the dirt road in the countryside and taught him all the various cultivation methods of his world-famous "Zi Zi Gang".
Tang Zhao and Jiang Shenyi listened carefully and occasionally asked questions they didn't understand, and Zhang Rong also answered them carefully. The two young men are both geniuses with outstanding understanding. They can draw inferences from one case and draw parallels from another. Zhang Rong is a genius who is almost gifted from heaven. The two of them are famous teachers and apprentices. As the saying goes, they learn from each other happily, and they teach happily. They just feel that they met too late.
The three of them walked slowly for a day and rested at the inn at night. The two of them helped Zhang Rong serve tea and water with disciple's ceremony. We were on the road again the next morning, still walking and talking. Later, what he taught from Zaigang was almost the same, and he started to talk about astronomy, geography, and human relations in various places, and he was still very speculative. Tang Zhao even thought that it would be nice to talk about Jianzhou along the way.
However, there is always a feast that never ends.
On the morning of the third day, Zhang Rong asked the postman at the post station, "Isn't it only a day's journey from Zhaocheng?"
The postman was startled and said: "You want to go to Zuocheng, but you can't go there. The road ahead is cut off, and the road in the direction of Zuocheng is blocked. No one can pass, so you can take a detour."
Zhang Rong frowned, and Tang Zhao and Jiang Shenyi also paid attention. Zhaocheng was also their only way to go south.
Jiang Shenyi asked: "What, is there a flood ahead? Are rocks collapsing?"
The postman shook his head and said: "This cannot be said. There is an official document, posted outside. Everything that can be said is written on it, and I will not say what cannot be said."
When the three of them arrived at the inn, they saw a notice posted saying that the road ahead was closed and passers-by were not allowed to go to Chaocheng. They had to take a detour. Violators would be severely punished.
Look at the signature, it was freshly released yesterday.
This is extremely unfortunate.
Tang Zhao glanced at it and understood in his heart, he whispered: "Sir, it's okay not to go ahead."
Zhang Rong asked with his eyes open. Tang Zhao pointed to the seal of the official document underneath and said, "It's the seal of the Procuratorate."
Now even Jiang Shenyi understood and said: "Damn disaster."
There is danger ahead, so the roads and the city are closed, isolating the inside and outside. This is a routine operation. Tang Zhao experienced it once, but that time he was unaware and somehow slipped into the blockade, which led to a series of events. Now Tang Zhao is naturally different from what he used to be, and he immediately wakes up.
Jiang Shenyi said: "Since the road has been closed, it is definitely not a matter of one or two ferocious beasts or one or two phantoms. It is probably the arrival of the devil's cave. I have never seen the devil's cave come."
Tang Zhao said: "I've seen it once."
That time changed his destiny. But he has only seen it once so far. Not to mention the time he spent studying in Jiugao Mountain, he achieved some success in his studies in the past year. Occasionally when he went down the mountain, he contacted the District Inspection Department in Chuncheng and went on a mission as a casual member of the District Inspection Department. The evil in Jichun City is not serious, there are not many tasks, most of them are to clear out the fierce beasts, and deal with one or two phantoms against the sky. I have never seen such a big battle in the Demon Cave.
Jiang Shenyi was eager to try, and said: "I heard that there are many good things in the Demon Cave, various materials, and sword types. As for the sword types, since the Land Inspection Department has taken over, we must not have a share. The rest of the materials and so on Isn't it possible that we can't gain something?" He remembered that Tang Zhao seemed to have been trained by the Prosecution Department, and he probably didn't want to disrupt the order of the Prosecution Department, so he added: "I'm definitely not sneaking in, but I can follow to help. Fu Swordsman can be a lot of swordsmen. Maybe we can be used for things that we can’t do?”
Tang Zhao recalled the original situation. He didn't think there was any material produced in the devil's cave? I just remember the phantom that could be broken with just one poke and the demon that caused him to die once and finally turned into ashes. The magic cave later cut off the source and turned into a wave of floods. It was Xingji who dug a valley in place, diverted the water waves, and forcibly created a barrier lake to resolve the flood. The entire Xue Daxia Mansion was under the lake.
Anyway, in the end, everyone got nothing but injuries.
But at that time, he was not a Talisman Sword Master and didn't understand anything. Maybe he missed hundreds of millions?
After thinking about it, he shook his head and said: "Even if the local guard really needs Talisman Sword Masters, we can't catch up. The time and place of the arrival of the Demon Cave will be calculated by Qingtian Temple. Once the omen is calculated, the inspection department will be notified immediately and the ban will be arranged. Usually it will be one or two months in advance. Since the announcement was made today, the Demon Cave will be at least a month away, and the Mid-Spring Meeting will be over by then."
Jiang Shenyi was greatly disappointed, thought for a while, and said, "Can I ask for the specific time? Maybe we can catch up when we return?"
Tang Zhao said: "You can ask..."
But it doesn't mean much. The time when the Devil's Cave arrives cannot be changed. If you can catch up when you come back, just catch up. If you can't catch up, there's no point in asking. Tang Zhao was willing to help, even if he could do a little bit, but since he was not a swordsman, his role was probably that of Si Liyu. There is no difference if there is more of him or less of him. As for the Talisman Sword Master, they are mostly used for logistics and are not a big help.
While he was pondering, Zhang Rong sighed: "Two little friends, we are about to say goodbye."
Tang Zhao was startled and said, "Sir, could it be that you..."
Zhang Rong nodded and said, "I still want to go to Haocheng."
Tang Zhao stopped talking, and Zhang Rong said: "Zhang is not here to cause trouble, but I have a reason to go to Zhaocheng. I have a good rapport with these two friends. I think our fate is not over yet. This separation will lead to more troubles in the future." Goodbye day."
Tang Zhao sighed. He was also considered the official military attaché of the District Procuratorate and had the responsibility to prevent others from causing trouble to the District Procuratorate. However, Zhang Rong and Zhang Rong were both teachers and friends, and they stated that they were not malicious, and Tang Zhao had no intention of stopping him.
Just by looking at his sword, you can tell that Zhang Rong is a passionate person. Who knows what ties he has in Zhaocheng? Even if you are facing mountains of swords and seas of fire, you still have to move forward, right?
As a swordsman and martial arts master, Mr. Zhang, Tang Zhao couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.
Therefore, Tang Zhao just remained silent and said goodbye to him along with Jiang Shenyi.
Zhang Rong returned the gift, took the donkey over, and said with a smile: "Actually, my donkey is very good. I have been suffocating it these past few days. See you later, little friend." After saying that, he turned on the donkey and shouted, then The green donkey's hooves were like flying, and it ran forward like a wisp of smoke. It was faster than a horse, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Shenyi and Tang Zhao looked at each other, melancholy mixed with surprise, sad and a little funny. Jiang Shenyi smiled and said: "This donkey is not bad. I didn't see it. Mr. is not kind, he has such a divine mount, but Let’s buy two mortal donkeys to entertain us.”
Tang Zhao put aside his sadness and looked at the two mediocre donkeys tied to the shed, each worth twenty taels of silver. He suddenly became childlike and said, "We don't want such good donkeys, but we are Talisman Sword Masters."
Jiang Shenyi understood immediately, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Yes, we are magic sword masters who turn decay into magic."
The two of them looked at each other, and without saying anything, they each took out one of the donkey's hooves, took out their talisman training tools, and started tinkering with the donkey's hooves.
