Li Jian sat cross-legged for a long time on a large rock beside the bamboo forest where he usually practiced. When he opened his eyes, he was ready to end his half-day practice.
Mu Xiufeng's monks practice swordsmanship, and they pay attention to the balance of movement and stillness. Needless to say, silence is to move the spiritual energy in the body according to the mental method based on the "Sword Code", and transform the absorbed spiritual energy of heaven and earth bit by bit. For his own sword energy.
The sword energy of a sword cultivator is completely different from the spiritual energy of ordinary monks when they drive the Five Elements spells. If the spiritual energy is regarded as muddy iron, the sword energy is the fine steel obtained by repeatedly melting and forging the muddy iron using the sword cultivator himself as the forge. .
This is also the reason why sword cultivators have few rivals among monks of the same level.
Since choosing this purple bamboo forest that day, Li Jian has never gone deep into this bamboo forest and only practices beside the forest. Today, he got interested for some reason and walked slowly into his bamboo forest with his hands behind his back.
In the forest, the new bamboo is still green, the old bamboo is purple, the bamboo bushes are covered with flowers and plants, and the bamboo leaves on the head are like a canopy, the scenery is elegant.
As he walked, Li Jian would tap his fingers on the tubes of the straight purple bamboos he passed by from time to time.
The sound of "tuk-tuk" kept ringing in the forest, occasionally frightening a few birds that were resting on the bamboo branches.
Deep in the bamboo forest, Li Jian heard the "buzzing" sound of bees again. When he selected this bamboo forest that day, he discovered that there were wild bees here, but he didn't take a closer look that day. Since he was here today, he simply left. Look closer.
Thinking of this, Li Jian walked towards the direction of the "buzzing" sound.
When he saw it clearly, Li Jian was shocked.
It was a mountain wall in a bamboo forest. The mountain wall was uneven, and among the pitted stone crevices, there were hanging pieces of bright yellow honeycomb that were almost the size of a wheel and as thick as a finger. They were so fierce. At first glance, I thought someone had drawn dense yellow lines all over this place. Those hives are densely packed with peaks and buzzing loudly. From time to time, sticky honey drips from the hives, exuding an alluring sweet fragrance.
Li Jian only knew that there were bees here, but he didn't expect that the bees were so big and there were so many hives. Seeing the drops of honey dripping on the rocks, Li Jian felt it was a pity. Being obsessed with food, he actually came up with the idea of wild honey.
This is a bamboo forest, and there are a lot of bamboos. Even if they are spiritual bamboos, just cut one and make a few bamboo tubes to connect it to the place where the honey drips. Maybe there will be several tubes of honey to enjoy tomorrow. If this honey It tastes good, so prepare more. It will also be a part of your heart to share it with some of your companions when you see it someday.
Li Jian did it as soon as he thought of it. He took out his spiritual sword, randomly found a thick purple bamboo and chopped it off. Then he used his spiritual sword to chop the whole bamboo into several bamboo tubes according to the bamboo joints, and then cut the bamboo joints. He cut it off and cut it into a lid, so that a bamboo tube containing honey was made. He took a few bamboo tubes and returned to the stone wall where the wild bees lived.
Spotting a few places where wild honey was dripping, Li Jian ducked in to place the bamboo tube, and then ducked out. Although he was not stung by wild bees, he still alerted the swarm. When he came out, there was a large swarm of wild bees. Buzzing towards him.
"Since I want to take your honey, I won't take your lives."
Li Jian thought about it and was about to leave quickly, but he didn't know that the swarm of wild bees was also very fast. He bounced through the forest several times but could not escape these menacing wild bees. As soon as he settled down, he was caught up by the swarm again. .
He flicked away a wild bee that stung him hard in front of his face with his fingers. "Then I'll play with you," he thought.
Since I didn't want to hurt the lives of these wild bees, I naturally couldn't use the spiritual sword, so I quickly cut off a newly grown green bamboo from beside me, and chopped off the branches, leaves and small slanting branches on the top of the bamboo. Zhi shaped it into the shape of a bamboo stick, put away the spiritual sword, and used the bamboo stick as a sword to face the swarm.
The swarm was not very large at first, and each one relied on its flying agility to drive away Li Jian, the uninvited guest, from the bamboo forest. One by one, they kept attacking Li Jian's head, face, hands and other exposed parts. Get rid of stings everywhere.
At this time, Li Jian used the tip of the green bamboo in his hand as the tip of his sword and stabbed at the incoming wild bee. It couldn't be said to be a stab, but a point. Whenever the green bamboo was about to hit the wild bee, Li Jian stopped it. With such force, the front end of the green bamboo only lightly hit the wild bee, knocking it back. The knocked-back wild bee just flapped its wings to stabilize itself, and then rushed toward Li Jian angrily.
Li Jian was said to be extremely talented. He had extremely strong senses. Whenever there were wild bees rushing towards him, he could tell where they were, which one would rush straight towards him, and which one without looking at him. He would only stab the back of his hand or his head and face diagonally, wondering which one would come first and which one would come later. He would dance the green bamboos in his hand back and forth, and make a "buzzing" sound airtightly. The unkind wild bees used green bamboo to knock them out one by one. The wild bees that were knocked out were all in a state of panic, but none of them fell into the grass after being hit and could not fly again.
However, as time went on, more and more swarms of bees arrived, like a large buzzing black cloud that gradually enveloped Li Jian.
Li Jian's expression gradually calmed down from the relaxed and carefree look at the beginning, and finally became serious. For no other reason than the bee swarm was too thick, like a black mist rising in the bamboo forest.
At this time, Li Jian's right arm holding the green bamboo was almost blurred, and the green bamboo also dimly lit up. Li Jian's body was surrounded by a green light as thick as a long sword, and the black swarm of bees only hit it. Everyone on that green light was immediately bounced away, and then a black swarm of bees kept squeezing over. At this time, Li Jian also noticed that there were some giant black bees as big as eggs behind the swarm, which were rapidly approaching him.
No, if this continues, I don’t know when it will end. Li Jian thought, and found an opportunity. With the green bamboo in his hand, he found a weak point in the bee swarm to break through, and the person followed the green light and emerged from the bee swarm. , and then immediately used the art of controlling the air to rise into the air, quickly turning a few turns above the bamboo forest, and finally got rid of the entanglement of the swarm.
The black swarm of bees lost Li Jian's position and buzzed in the bamboo forest for a while before slowly returning to the mountain wall.
Li Jian returned to his bamboo hut. However, the fierce battle with the swarm just now made him extremely happy.
When the bees were swarming just now, he gradually couldn't support it with his physical strength alone, so he unconsciously penetrated the sword energy in his body into the green bamboo in his hand. At first, he was worried that the section of green bamboo would not be able to withstand his sword energy and collapse. Knowing that the green bamboo is really a special kind of spiritual bamboo, it not only withstands his sword energy, but also uses it very smoothly.
When using swordsmanship to fight the swarm of bees, Li Jian also used caution. If he didn't, he was afraid that the wild bees would be torn to pieces by the sword energy immediately after being hit by the green bamboo. At that time, Li Jian had to use all the sword energy in his body to dance the green bamboo tightly to prevent a wild bee from stinging him, and he also had to control the strength of the sword energy so as not to injure the life of a wild bee.
This is the first time Li Jian has tried this kind of fighting method that requires both letting go and attacking with all his strength. At this time, he feels a little tired. You must know that he has been practicing in Muxiufeng for more than two months. In addition to starting to practice Yukong, Except for the one risk-taking accident that nearly exhausted his spiritual power during the operation, this was the first time that he felt tired.
However, although he was tired, he felt unusually relaxed. While meditating, Li Jian pondered over the "Sword Code" he had studied. It said that the practice of sword cultivation should be both active and still. This "quiet" is naturally meditating. Absorbing the circulating spiritual energy, it finally became his own sword energy, but how to "move" it, Li Jian never understood.
The "Sword Canon" only talks about the movements of sword cultivation. The intention comes from the heart, and the sword comes out from the breath. Between the mind and the heart, the sword changes, thunder and rain, and the mind changes with electricity. With a person controlling the sword, you can do whatever you want.
Regarding the above words, Li Jian had already vaguely understood some truths.
Opening her eyes, Li Jian looked at the green bamboo placed next to her. It was easy to use just now, so Li Jian was reluctant to throw it away. She was going to use it to trouble the bee swarm again, but just now she was holding the green bamboo in one hand. The left hand is empty. If both hands could be used, would the two green bamboos be able to sustain the swarm longer?
He stood up and casually found another young bamboo in the bamboo forest. He cut off the top leaves and twigs. It was suitable for holding in his left hand, but it was slightly shorter than the one on his right hand. He didn't care, and slowly Then he walked towards the mountain wall where the swarm of bees gathered.
This time he saw clearly where the giant bees as big as eggs came from. There were many holes on the purple bamboo near the mountain wall and under the bamboo joints. Those giant bees were living in them. Waiting for Li After Jane approached without concealment, the giant bees that had been alerted emerged from the purple bamboo one after another. They turned out to be a large black mass, buzzing loudly, and with the flapping of the wings of the giant bee, it seemed that they could A gust of wind blew in the bamboo forest. It seemed that these giant bees were the guards specially guarding the hive. This time, the ordinary wild bees did not gather, but this large group of giant bees rushed towards Li Jian like a dark cloud.
Li Jian immediately felt the difference between this giant bee and the ordinary wild bee.
First of all, the size of the giant bee is much larger than that of ordinary wild bees. When the bamboo stick is pointed at the giant bee, it is obvious that the power of the giant bee when it rushes is much greater. A curved rod can be seen under the belly of the giant bee. If one is stung by the black poisonous sting, even if he is a cultivator, he will probably be red and swollen, and he may need to find some medicine to cure it. Therefore, Li Jian must be more careful after confronting this giant bee.
In addition, the speed of this giant bee is not comparable to that of ordinary wild bees. It is so fast and changes much faster than ordinary wild bees. At first, Li Jian didn't pay attention. He almost got hit and even dodged several times in embarrassment. Yi Xuan was succeeded by the giant bee.
However, Li Jian quickly regained his composure and danced the green bamboo in his hand like flying, protecting his whole body so that the giant bees surrounding him could not succeed.
At the beginning, Li Jian still used the green bamboo in his right hand mainly, and the green bamboo in his left hand was not used for much purpose. It is no wonder that if it is not deliberately done, the left hand is not as convenient as the right hand. After discovering this, Li Jian deliberately used both hands together, even for a while. He only used his left hand for a while, and finally his right hand was able to protect most of his body. The rest was left to his left hand, which enveloped him in a ball of green light to prevent the giant bee from getting in.
This time, he went back and forth with the swarm of giant bees for nearly an hour, from the bamboo forest to the sky above the bamboo forest, and then fell back to the ground. I saw a big black ball beating in the forest, and there was a faint green light coming out of the black ball.
In the end, Li Jian felt that the spiritual energy in his body was exhausted, and the sword energy was exhausted. If he continued to use it up, he would be stung all over his head by these giant bees, so he found an opportunity to break through the swarm and escape as usual. Unexpectedly, this giant bee swarm But he kept pursuing him, and his speed was almost as fast as his air control skills. At one point, he almost surrounded Li Jian again, chasing Li Jian in a panic, and finally got rid of the entanglement of those giant bees.
Back in his bamboo hut, Li Jian felt extremely happy. He put two green bamboos on the table, drank some tea, and fell asleep on the couch. Two fights with bees today made him feel so... exhausted.
