Chapter 928 Passing the Sword
After more than an hour, more than a thousand sand beasts were killed.
Ye Qiuhe handed the Han Light Sword back to Cheng Ling and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Cheng. I want to learn the sword from you in the future!"
Cheng Ling was stunned and joined Junzi Peak. Although he was the third disciple of Junzi Immortal King, his ranking was very high. However, due to his cultivation and the order of entry, except for Shen Mengting and the deceased Yu Yumei, the other direct disciples all refer to him as senior brother and senior sister.
Ye Qiuhe ranked fourth under the Immortal King Yunmeng, and this was the first time he called him senior. However, he saw that the other people had no objections. Yin Luoyao and Chu Yulu nodded slightly, and they understood immediately.
In the world of monasticism, cultivation is the priority. His cultivation has reached the middle stage of Jiutian Xuanxian, only lower than Yin Luoyao and Chu Yulu. Coupled with his previous actions, he has already won the respect of everyone.
But what does it mean that she wants to learn the sword from herself? Could it be that he decided to learn swordsmanship because he was restricted by the rules of the world and could not exert the power of spells?
He pondered for a while and said: "Fifth Senior Sister, the way of swordsmanship is profound and profound. In my opinion, it is even superior to the way of law. If you are really just trying to get rid of a temporary predicament, it is impossible to achieve anything with such a mentality. Therefore, I advise you to still If you think twice, maybe kill some more sand beasts and you can release the spell!"
Yin Luoyao and Chu Yulu nodded secretly in their hearts. Cheng Ling's admiration for swordsmanship was very much what they wanted. Swordsmanship is not that easy to learn, and it took a lot of hard work to reach their current level. Even if Ye Qiuhe begged them, he might not reject it directly out of love, but he would never expect too much.
Cheng Ling's approach is very straightforward, telling you directly that you are not worthy of learning swordsmanship based on temporary enthusiasm. Kendo is not a joke, but a belief, a monastic belief. But when he said it, it was very tactful and not too uncomfortable.
The two people's impression of Cheng Ling has improved several levels!
Ye Qiuhe said: "Senior brother Cheng, don't worry, what I said is definitely not a joke, I will switch to kendo from now on!" Her tone was firm, and she also revealed a hint of stubbornness, which made people feel her belief.
Cheng Ling was startled and looked at Yin Luoyao unconsciously.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qiuhe said again: "I don't learn from the master, nor from the senior sister and second senior sister. I just want to learn the sword from you!"
Cheng Ling asked in surprise: "Why?"
"Intuition! I know that the little junior sister is learning swordsmanship from you. In just one year, her combat power has improved by leaps and bounds. Even the fifth junior sister who is a higher level cannot defeat her. I think this may be the charm of the swordsmanship you teach."
Cheng Ling opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment. His teaching method is indeed different from others. It focuses on the basics first and then varies from person to person.
Shen Mengting's Five Elements Sword Technique is very powerful, but the disadvantage is that her foundation is not solid enough. Although she relies on the power of her sword technique to surpass monks of the same realm, she will definitely suffer when she encounters someone who is at a higher realm than her. I had forced her to lay a solid foundation for more than a year, and the results were evident.
In fact, if she is given a few more years to practice the basic sword moves to become more proficient, she will reach the third level of swordsmanship and even be able to defeat her opponents across realms.
However, Cheng Ling hesitated as to what Ye Qiuhe wanted. Originally, he did not want to have anything to do with Junzifeng. This trip was just a coincidence. If he agreed to this matter, there would be another cause and effect, which was not what he wanted.
Seeing Cheng Ling's hesitation, Ye Qiuhe's expression changed slightly. She had summoned up the courage to speak out boldly. If the other party refused, she really didn't know how to face it. In just a few breaths, a layer of cold sweat broke out on my palms, and my lips were bitten!
Lu Xueqing couldn't bear it and said: "Senior Brother Cheng, just promise Fourth Senior Sister! She has the most stubborn temper and will not change her decision easily. She will definitely learn swordsmanship from you."
Cheng Ling turned to Ye Qiuhe and saw blood dripping from the corners of her mouth under her slightly pale face. After all, she couldn't bear to refuse and said, "That's it, I promise you!"
Ye Qiuhe was so happy that he immediately knelt down.
Cheng Ling hurriedly stopped her and said, "Although I promise to teach you how to practice swordsmanship, I don't dare to assume the title of master and apprentice. From now on, we should refer to each other as brothers and sisters!"
"Yes, Senior Brother Cheng!"
This matter was successfully resolved.
Yin Luoyao breathed a sigh of relief. Cheng Ling handled it very well. He agreed to the fourth sister and would not embarrass everyone. In fact, among the many junior brothers and sisters, the fourth sister has the highest understanding except the second sister, and has a very stubborn personality. The master often said that she has a ruthless streak in her body. She is ruthless to her enemies and even more ruthless to herself!
Now that she has decided to give up the practice of practicing swordsmanship, there will definitely be many ups and downs in the path of spiritual practice in the future. I hope she can persevere and Cheng Ling can teach her the best.
With the Ye Qiuhe matter settled, Cheng Ling turned his attention to the situation in front of him. He said: "Everyone, please work hard and collect all these corpses. I don't know how big this desert is and how long it will take to get out. The corpses of the sand beasts can be used as rations in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Tianfeng and Ye Qiuhe hurriedly started to collect them. Jin Yanrong and Lu Xueqing were still hesitant and asked: "Brother Cheng, do we really want to eat these sand beasts? They look too disgusting...!"
Yin Luoyao's eyes widened and she scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't forget that you have lost all your cultivation. When you are really hungry and can't stand it anymore, you can eat even the most ugly things. Why don't you do it now!"
At that moment, the two of them didn't dare to hesitate anymore and started to pack things up in a hurry.
Cheng Ling came to the edge of the barrier. He wanted to see if what he threw out of the storage ring would be helpful in the journey ahead.
Unexpectedly, at first glance, I was very discouraged. Apart from the two swords, there was only the black robe taken off from the man in black, some minerals and herbs, and a spear, but nothing else.
Wu Tianfeng was very happy and said: "Junior Brother Cheng, just give me that spear, it can just be used to kill the sand beast."
Cheng Ling nodded briefly and gave the spear to Wu Tianfeng. He looked at the herbs carefully and distributed them to everyone one by one when he saw that they were all edible. He told them to collect it carefully. There was a serious water shortage in the desert. At critical moments, they could rely on herbs to maintain moisture. There were only ores, which were nothing valuable, so they should simply abandon them.
There were ten sets of black robes left. I put one on myself, gave one to Wu Tianfeng, and wanted the other girls to wear the rest. Unexpectedly, they refused, and even Ye Qiuhe said with disgust: "Senior Brother Cheng, these black robes have been worn by others, I don't want them!"
Cheng Ling had no choice but to give up. In fact, the material of the black robe is very soft and has strong defense. It is very comfortable to wear in the desert as long as it is not sunny. But all the girls seemed to have mysophobia and refused to put them on.
He could only tear the black robe into strips, twist them into ropes and connect them, and tie as many sand beast corpses as possible to them and take them away together.
This delayed some time, and Cheng Ling quickly urged everyone to speed up and leave the place as soon as possible. The smell of blood on the sand beasts is likely to attract more beasts. There are only seven of them and their physical strength is limited. Once too many beasts come, it will be dangerous!
After a cup of tea, everyone finally finished cleaning up. Yin Luoyao asked: "Junior Brother Cheng, which direction should we go?"
Cheng Ling pondered for a while and said: "This should be the edge of the barrier. Those men in black will definitely not settle in such a harsh environment like the desert. Let's walk forward for a while. If we can see vegetation, it means we have chosen the right direction." .”
Yin Luoyao said: "Okay, then I'll ask Junior Brother Cheng to lead the way. The second sister will be in the middle, and I will hold the line at the rear."
Cheng Ling nodded. With such a configuration, the front, middle and back were taken into consideration. Presumably, any emergencies could be responded to in a timely manner.
He then said: "Senior Sister's arrangement is very good. Fourth Junior Sister, Third Senior Brother, you follow me!"
The two agreed, Cheng Ling stepped forward, and the seven people lined up in a long line, walking slowly towards the depths of the desert.
As Cheng Ling walked, he said to Ye Qiuhe behind him: "Fourth junior sister, pay attention to the changes in the sand dunes, sense the wind blowing in the desert, and tell me what you understand?"
Since he agreed to teach the other party the way of swordsmanship, Cheng Ling would not hide his secrets. This was one of the reasons why he asked Ye Qiuhe to follow him so that he could teach him the way of swordsmanship!
Ye Qiuhe immediately turned his attention to the sand dunes and the wind. After looking at them for a long time, he felt that they were all the same, nothing special, and he couldn't tell anything at all.
She was secretly ashamed and didn't dare to talk to Cheng Lingming. Instead, she put all her mind into understanding. Unconsciously, her steps became chaotic and began to deviate from the direction.
Cheng Ling was naturally concerned about her condition, and quickly pulled her back and said, "You are new to swordsmanship, so don't force it. Remember to tell me if you don't understand anything. If I know it, I will answer it. If you don't, I will answer it." We can meditate together, do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand!"
"Very good. In fact, the purpose of asking you to observe those sand dunes and sense the wind direction is not to let you understand any sword moves, but to see through the essence of things. Sand dunes are sand dunes, and wind is just a natural state. There is nothing strange about it. .”
"But their changes are not simple. For example, that sand dune was seen from a hundred feet away. At that time, the surface of the sand dune looked like a long snake, but now it looks like an eagle. Do you feel the same way? ?”
Ye Qiuhe nodded blankly, unable to understand anything for the moment.
Cheng Ling continued: "This shows that the essence of things remains unchanged. What changes is the angle and direction of observation. As long as it deviates slightly, it will be a thousand miles away. We should do the same with swords. The essence of sword moves remains unchanged, but with each change Depending on many factors such as the combat environment, opponents, number of enemies, etc., the way of using sword moves must be changed to achieve the best effect."
"If you want to learn the sword, you must first understand the sword, starting from the structure of the sword. The sword is an ancient holy item, the most noble and noble, and the evil spirits of humans and gods. First of all, let's talk about the common three-foot long sword, which usually consists of the sword body, It consists of the tip of the sword, the edge of the sword, the end of the sword, the spine of the sword, the blade of the sword, the sword grid, the hilt, the sword's head, the scabbard and the tassel."
"The main moves of the sword are chopping, slashing, collapsing, teasing, blocking, washing, cutting, stabbing, stirring, pressing, hanging, sweeping, etc. Its characteristics are a combination of hardness and softness, smooth breathing, lightness, vigor and grace... ...."
Cheng Ling spoke eloquently, describing the general outline of the kendo he learned from the golden pages and his own understanding over the years.
Ye Qiuhe was fascinated by what he heard, and even Chu Yulu and Yin Luoyao behind them looked surprised. He didn't say much, but every sentence pointed directly to the origin of swordsmanship, and the mystery contained in every word was profound and could be extended to many insights, which seemed endless!
