The next morning.
Xuanwen Academy, back mountain.
It is said to be the back mountain, but it is actually a continuous mountain range, connected to the trial forest to the east.
In this mountain range, all the peaks are not too high, but there is one peak surrounded by clouds and mist all year round, which looks quite mysterious, so it is named "Xuanwu Peak".
Lin Ming's destination was the top of Xuanwu Peak.
His long hair is flowing freely around his shoulders. He is still wearing a white robe. On the robe, the silver-white silk edges outline faint patterns. He has a jade-blue embroidered belt around his waist. There is a warm white magatama hanging on the side of the belt. He has a pair of cloud-covering shoes at his feet. boots.
With an unhurried look on his face, Lin Ming climbed up the steps and followed the mountain road built with bluestones to reach the halfway point of the mountain.
Keng~buzz!
Keng~buzz!
Keng~buzz!
A strange sound came from not far away. Lin Ming walked towards the sound and saw a girl with short silver hair practicing her sword in the woods.
Her swordsmanship is quite special.
Draw the sword out of the sheath, slash, sheath the sword.
She repeated the same action again and again.
Under Lin Ming's naked eye observation, the girl's movements of drawing the sword were exactly the same every time.
Whether it is the timing, speed and distance of taking a step, the strength and angle of the falling step, or the gesture of sheathing the sword.
Exactly!
Like the most perfect and precise machine.
The girl did not use any spiritual energy and purely practiced swordsmanship with her physical body.
Her forehead was covered with crystal beads of sweat the size of rice grains, and her back was almost soaked. She had obviously been practicing for a long time.
Lin Ming stood 10 feet away, quietly observing the girl.
He did not approach rashly. Firstly, he did not want to disturb the girl's sword practice, and secondly, he did not want the other party to misunderstand that he had malicious intentions.
The girl did not stop practicing her sword because of Lin Ming's arrival. She seemed not to have any emotions at all, and remained the same as before - drawing the sword, slashing, and sheathing the sword.
Lin Ming couldn't see any more details with his naked eyes, so he simply used his inner eye.
At this time, he saw more and understood the power of the girl better.
Every time the girl draws or releases her sword, her body and mind are always integrated.
When you draw your sword, you must move. When you take an arrow step, the three-foot sword edge will also fly up. When you step down, the sword edge will inevitably cut to the end, as if there is an enemy there who has been killed by a sword.
"During the training, no one seemed to be alone, what a great swordsmanship!" Lin Ming couldn't help but praise him softly.
The girl was unmoved, drew her sword and stepped back. When she stood still, the three-foot sword was sheathed.
The sound of swords and footsteps merge into one!
Then, the girl continued to draw her sword.
With the blessing of the inner eye of the divine text with the word "Guan", Lin Ming understood even more that the girl's swordsmanship was unique.
The inner three are combined and the outer three are integrated into one, almost giving the impression of a man and a sword uniting into one.
Although the girl did not show any aura, it was impossible to judge her realm.
But Lin Ming guessed that the opponent would not be below the level of Miao Enlightenment.
Because the complete integration of body, mind and soul is a sign of the realm of Taihe.
The girl's every move seemed to have some rules that were unique to her.
Obviously, she is pursuing the path to break through the Taihe Realm.
It can never be the realm of spiritual inspiration or physical training, only the realm of wonderful enlightenment.
It was a very simple movement, but Lin Ming was fascinated by it.
His eyes didn't even fall on the girl's beautiful face, he was always focused on the hand, step and sword edge.
Time is like running water, slipping away quietly.
The girl's sword practice time is over.
A ray of sunshine hit her short silver hair, shining brightly.
She sheathed her sword, turned around, and looked at Lin Ming head on.
"I am Ge Qinghuang, who are you?"
Lin Ming smiled, "Lin Ming."
At this time, he saw Ge Qinghuang's face clearly - short silver-white hair reaching to the ears, an oval face, eyebrows like willow leaves, eyes like bright stars, a small nose, and a sweet mouth.
At first glance, she has a gentle and watery temperament, and there is wisdom between her brows.
Zhong Lingyuxiu... A compliment flashed through Lin Ming's mind.
However, Ge Qinghuang's beautiful face left a cross scar on his left cheek.
Light, not deep.
Lin Ming noticed his impoliteness and hurriedly looked away.
Ge Qinghuang didn't care, and stared at Lin Ming with piercing eyes, "Are you also a sword cultivator?"
Lin Ming was stunned and didn't understand how Ge Qinghuang could see it and how he could change the topic.
Lin Ming thought about it for a moment and felt that it was rude to call himself a swordsman in front of a young girl.
Maybe it's because the other person has put in the effort and he hasn't started working hard yet.
He shook his head and said: "Actually, I can't be considered a sword cultivator. It's just that I was lucky enough to understand the word 'sword' three days ago."
Ge Qinghuang's eyes lit up, "Can you let me see your 'sword' character?"
As she spoke, she waved her hand to summon her "sword" divine text.
Lin Ming: "..."
Too strange!
It is not the ink color of the human level, the silver of the earth level, the gold of the heaven level, nor the purple of the transcendent level.
Ge Qinghuang's divine text with the word "sword" is as blue as water and as blue as the sky!
If you want to describe it, it should be regarded as "the blue of the sky".
Lin Ming was a little dazed for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "What level of divine inscription is this?"
Ge Qinghuang replied: "Special divine inscriptions are transcendent-level divine inscriptions condensed by special means."
At this time, Lin Ming remembered that he had not yet displayed the divine inscription with the word "sword".
Lin Ming stretched out his hand and pointed it into a sword. A purple divine "sword" floated out from his fingertips.
Seeing Lin Ming's divine inscription with the word "sword", Ge Qinghuang was stunned for a moment, his beautiful eyes blinked slightly, and then he recovered.
"Your divine inscriptions are very powerful." She paused and then said, "This is the first time I have seen the divine inscriptions with the word 'sword' that are beyond the first level."
"Doesn't yours count?" Lin Ming asked.
Ge Qinghuang smiled, "It can't be completely calculated. My 'sword' divine script is condensed using a special method. Different from your innate purple energy divine script, your 'sword' divine script is also called Hongmeng divine script. The highest grade among many divine texts."
The topic ends here.
After all, the two met for the first time and would not continue to chat in depth.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
Lin Ming wanted to find the next topic and searched quickly in his mind.
Suddenly, Lin Ming had a thought—
Zhao Wusheng told him that he would introduce him to a friend who was better at fighting than him.
Hint is the cross scar on the face.
Lin Ming opened his mouth and was about to ask, but suddenly felt a little abrupt.
It doesn't seem right to use another woman to introduce the topic of the woman in front of you.
Moreover, what if Ge Qinghuang doesn't know Zhao Wusheng? That would be even more embarrassing!
He paused and caught a glimpse of Ge Qinghuang's ancient sword from the corner of his eye.
A flash of inspiration flashed across his mind, and Lin Ming hurriedly grabbed it, "Senior, may I ask, what kind of swordsmanship do you practice?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he felt a little regretful.
The relationship between the two is not close, so it is taboo to ask about martial arts and techniques rashly.
However, Ge Qinghuang didn't take it seriously and said openly:
"I practice sword-drawing. This is a martial art. It is recorded in a martial arts chart taught by an expert when I was young."
Sword-mad girl...Lin Ming: (◍•ᴗ•◍)
Being taught by an expert at an early age brings great blessings to heaven!
Lin Ming shook his head incomprehensibly, dispersing the unnecessary thoughts in his mind, and then said:
"The release of martial arts should require spiritual energy, but I saw that the senior sister just practiced the sword, and she did not regulate the spiritual energy in her body from the beginning to the end."
Ge Qinghuang smiled and looked at Lin Ming carefully.
"Junior is still in the realm of inspiration, and the focus of practice is still on divine writing. What is needed is good divine writing."
"When you reach the body training realm, you will focus on training your body. When you reach the completion of body training, you cannot easily reveal the divine inscriptions during battle, so as not to expose your true identity."
"At the same time, at this time, warriors can guide the power of divine texts in more clever ways."
"This method is called martial arts, and the items that record martial arts are collectively called martial arts diagrams."
Lin Ming nodded, "But Senior Sister did not use spiritual energy when practicing martial arts just now. Is this a special requirement for sword drawing?"
Ge Qinghuang shook his head slightly, "No, this is a training method I discovered, and it is applicable to any martial arts."
"However, it will be very uncomfortable at first, and you may not even be able to use the martial arts. But once you get used to it and become proficient, when you actually use the martial arts and add the power of divine words and spiritual energy, you will make a qualitative leap."
Lin Ming understood and nodded, "To put it simply, at the same level, the combat power is stronger."
Afterwards, the two chatted for a while about the general knowledge of martial arts, and then said goodbye to each other.
After taking just two steps, Lin Ming and Ge Qinghuang realized that each other was heading to the top of Xuanwu Peak.
"Mr. Bai invites you?" Ge Qinghuang asked.
Lin Ming nodded, "Yes."
"Together." Ge Qinghuang said.
Lin Ming smiled and said, "Okay, let's go together."
