In Muxiu Peak, not far from the Purple Bamboo Forest where Li Jian lives, there is a quiet and elegant courtyard, which is the residence of Yun Xi, a disciple of Sword Nun. Yun Xi has always wanted to become a disciple of Fairy Lengyue of Mu Xiufeng, but unexpectedly, But he was not liked by Fairy Lengyue, so he was rejected.
In fact, with the strength of the Yun family behind Yunxi and the influence of the Yun family in the Five Spirits Sect, it would not be difficult for her to join the disciples of any other senior Mu Xiufeng. However, Yunxi also has a stubborn temper. Because of his extraordinary talent, the elders in his family loved him very much. He never got anything he wanted, so his character became a bit more unruly. Unexpectedly, she hit a snag with Fairy Lengyue, which greatly frustrated her. So while feeling uncomfortable, she also made up her mind to let Fairy Lengyue accept her as her disciple. As for what she could learn from Fairy Lengyue, It seems that only when Fairy Leng Yue admits that she is her disciple in public can the suffocating breath in her chest dissipate.
With this kind of mentality that was almost revengeful, Yunxi stayed in Mu Xiufeng. Later, she learned from others that Fairy Lengyue actually had a favorable eye for a boy named Li Jian who was chosen by the best in the world. After wanting to accept him as his disciple, he was even more annoyed. I heard that Fairy Lengyue was blocked by other seniors at that time, so she planned to wait until the boy passed the fifth level before accepting a disciple.
Yunxi had a very high self-esteem and did not believe that the boy named Li was any better than her. Especially since Li Jian had already chosen a beautiful purple bamboo forest, and she was very fond of that forest. Unexpectedly, He was also taken over by Li Jian, which made her even more angry towards Li Jian.
In fact, she had been very sensitive about her apprenticeship. Since Fairy Lengyue was not willing to accept her, why did she have to hang herself from a tree? There are many other seniors in Mu Xiufeng. It is not difficult for me to choose a senior who is highly respected and profound in cultivation, and let the family help with the operation and management. It is not difficult to become a disciple. In the future, when I am successful in cultivation, I will do a few more It was such a big event to reveal her face and become a famous female sword cultivator, let Fairy Leng Yue regret it! But then again, it seems that the time required to do this is not short, and it is still not possible at the moment. But now that it is known that Fairy Lengyue has the idea of accepting a disciple for that boy Li Jian, if she wants to become another disciple at this time, The senior's disciples seemed to be really inferior to Li Jian.
No, hum! Whether or not to worship Fairy Lengyue is no longer a top priority. The most important thing now, no, in the future, is that before Li Jian officially becomes the disciple of Fairy Lengyue, he has to prove to everyone in the sect that he is better than that. Li Jian didn't know how many times he would be stronger, and then, humph, he would become a disciple of other Mu Xiufeng seniors, and let Fairy Lengyue know that a disciple like me would only regret it if he missed it!
With such a small thought in mind, Yunxi also deliberately approached a girl named Ling Yue frequently to show her kindness and make friends with her, for no other reason than because Ling Yue's master was Fairy Leng Yue. , Ling Yue, who was not very experienced in the world, actually became friends with Yun Xi who talked about everything, and unknowingly became Yun Xi's spy around Fairy Leng Yue.
However, Yunxi still knows what is fundamental and does not dare to relax at all in his daily practice and is extremely diligent and hardworking.
It was close to noon that day. Yunxi, who was a little bored practicing alone, suddenly thought of Li Jian who lived nearby while taking a break and drinking tea. He secretly thought that he had lived here for so long and that Li Jian had only seen him once from a distance. , I'm bored today, why not sneak over and have a look, firstly, to take a closer look at what kind of person that boy Li Jian is, and secondly, to see how that boy practices.
Thinking of this, Yunxi could no longer hold back, put down the tea cup, stood up, and left her yard.
She didn't fly very high along the way, just shuttled between the branches. After all, she was going to spy on others, so it was better to keep it secret.
After crossing the mountain ridge, she saw a clear river at the foot of the mountain. She knew that she could find the purple bamboo forest by walking along the direction of the river.
Sure enough, after flying for a while, she found the hillside covered with purple bamboo.
There were no conspicuous houses here, only a bamboo hut near the river. She scanned the bamboo forest again, but could not find any place for people to live. It seemed that Li Jian lived in this simple bamboo hut. Now that I'm in the dormitory, I can't help but feel a little contempt in my heart. Huh, he is indeed a kid from this world who has never seen the world. Are people living in such a place?
Then she saw Li Jian.
Li Jian was standing in the open space outside the bamboo forest, using what seemed to be a starting position in some kind of swordsmanship. However, his whole body was motionless, and it wasn't until Yunxi took a closer look that he discovered that Li Jian was holding the hand. What he was holding was not a spiritual sword. It seemed to be a bamboo branch that had just been broken off from the forest. He saw Li Jian stretching his right hand forward. The bamboo branch in his hand was pointing straight forward. It seemed that he was using bamboo as a sword. His left hand was drooping, and he was also holding it in his left hand. A slightly shorter bamboo branch, the whole person is motionless, which is very strange.
Yunxi became curious when she saw this, so she quietly hid in the branches and leaves of a tree, looking through the branches and leaves to see what Li Jian was going to do.
Li Jian didn't know what he was thinking. He just kept standing still like that. He looked at it for a while. Just when Yun Xi was almost impatient, he suddenly saw Li Jian's figure moving, but his hands didn't change. , but it was all done on the legs. He stabbed forward lightly, and then withdrew his right hand. The bamboo branch on his left hand also stabbed out, diagonally pointing down, and then the bamboo branch on his right hand followed the direction of the bamboo branch on his left hand. Just a swipe passed by, and after the bamboo branch on the right hand passed by, the bamboo branch on the left hand underwent many changes under the pull of the wrist.
In this way, Li Jian's figure began to practice one move after another at a slow speed. As his figure turned around, Yun Xi also saw Li Jian's appearance clearly.
He can be considered a heroic person. Yunxi watched Li Jian's tall and straight figure turning around. She had excellent eyesight and stared at Li Jian with good eyes. Her appearance was far from elegant and handsome, and her features were Jian has a bit of sharpness after experiencing killings, but he can only be regarded as an ordinary appearance, especially when he dances around with bamboo branches like this, it seems a bit like a naughty child. I really don’t know what Fairy Leng Yue is interested in. What's wrong with Li Jian?
At this time, Li Jian was almost completely immersed in memories of the past.
Li Jian lost his father when he was young, and has been following his second uncle Li Tiankai every day since he can remember. Li Tiankai liked to play with guns and sticks, which deeply affected Li Jian at that time. Not only that, Li Tiankai also liked to find people to compete with each other. If he won, it wouldn't matter. He would just give him some money and send him away. But if If he loses, Li Tiankai will be overjoyed. He will definitely take the person to his house, give him wine, money, and warm hospitality, and beg him to teach him a few tricks.
Firstly, the Li family was the generals of the Liang Kingdom and held military power. Secondly, Li Tiankai also followed all the etiquette, so Li Tiankai could always learn some skills. As time passed, some poor warriors and swordsmen who were short of money came to visit Li Tiankai to practice martial arts. At this time, Li Jian was also present, so it was an eye-opener.
One of them, Li Jian, left a deep impression on him. That person did not come to the door on his own initiative, but Li Tiankai went there because of his reputation. As a result, he did not want to fight with him. In desperation, Li Tiankai continued to use words to provoke the person, forcing him to He got excited, drew his sword and fought with Li Tiankai. The man used two swords. As a result, Li Tiankai was defeated after less than half a cup of tea. Later, Li Tiankai took the initiative to admit defeat and admit his mistake, and strongly invited the man When Li Jian was a guest at his house, he saw the man completely demonstrate the technique of double swords.
Just like Qian Chao could never forget his reading, Li Jian could also remember the martial arts he had seen. The moves he was dancing while holding bamboo branches in both hands were exactly the double sword technique that that person demonstrated at his house. .
He accidentally touched the edge of a sword cultivation method without any teacher. How to use these two bamboo branches has been what Li Jian has been thinking about. He is accustomed to using one-handed swords, and he would be a little reluctant to give up a bamboo branch. After thinking hard for many days, an idea suddenly occurred to me, and I remembered the two-sword technique I had seen when I was young.
As soon as the past came to mind, he couldn't help but immerse himself in it. After some emotion, Li Jian cut off his thoughts and began to dance the bamboo branches one by one according to the appearance of the person in the memory.
That person once said that the method of using two swords actually coincides with the art of war. When the two armies confront each other, they "use the right combination to win by surprise." One sword sits in the middle of the army and arranges the troops, while the other sword surprises the troops. If you stick out, you can directly capture the enemy's chieftain. If you alternate between the right and wrong swords, there will be no disadvantage.
However, what made Li Jian feel a little awkward at this moment was that his two bamboo branches were one long and one short, and there still seemed to be a sense of obstruction between offense and defense, so he fumbled and practiced over and over again.
Yunxi had been hiding and watching for a long time, and the curiosity in his heart had long since turned into impatience. He secretly wondered what this person was doing. How could he be practicing? He was clearly playing. At most, he was just relaxing his muscles and bones. How could such a person be qualified? I have worked hard to plan, but if you look like you are now, I will make you look even more ugly when the time comes!
Thinking of this, Yunxi didn't want to read any more and quietly stood up and left.
The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind. Yunxi's quiet departure has long been seen by one person. In fact, not only when she left, but also when Yunxi sneaked over, that person also saw it clearly. Now Seeing her leaving, the man couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
This person is Fairy Lengyue. She is now willing to pass by the Purple Bamboo Forest when she goes to and from Muxiu Peak. The same is true today. She was also curious to see Li Jian like this, so she hid her body. She also knew that Li Jian had an amazing sense. In order to Without disturbing him, he also suppressed his whole body's aura just to see how Li Jian practices in his daily life.
Finally gone! Li Jian secretly said.
In fact, Li Jian noticed when Yun Xi sneaked into his purple bamboo forest. Not only that, Li Jian also knew that it was a woman who sneaked over. However, he didn't know anything about Yun Xi. He just felt that it was impolite to spy on others practicing. , but since she was a woman, she couldn't say anything, so she slowly danced the bamboo branches in her hands while pondering the essence of this double addition method in her heart.
Now that the peeping person is gone, I can let go and try what I just thought about. Thinking of this, Li Jian's whole body was filled with sword energy. The green color of the two bamboo branches in his hand gradually faded, and then glowed with a faint white sword light. His figure suddenly began to blur. After dancing for a while, it gradually became difficult to Determine whether the person is dancing the two sword lights, or whether the two sword lights are driving the person to rotate differently.
Seeing Li Jian's sudden behavior after Yun Xi left, Fairy Leng Yue knew that Li Jian must have known that Yun Xi was watching, and only waited for Yun Xi to leave before showing her true skills. She couldn't help but curl her lips slightly again.
But after laughing, Fairy Leng Yue stared at Li Jian below with a serious expression.
Li Jian was seen dancing like a windmill on the ground with the glowing bamboo branches in his hands. Behind the bamboo branches, the sword light was floating, and Li Jian's body seemed to be enveloped by a ball of light, dancing non-stop on the ground. There was a heavy sound of swords coming from below.
Fairy Lengyue is well-informed, and it seems that what Li Jian is doing is a set of two-sword techniques to defend against enemies. This kind of sword technique is often spread in the world. Anyone who can teach Li Jian such sword techniques must be a master in the world. However, there is no fixed swordsmanship in the world of cultivation. Spiritual swords and magic swords are psychic objects once they are refined, and they can come and go freely. When facing someone, in the blink of an eye, the sword edge is already close to the opponent's throat. , what kind of swordsmanship is needed there.
She knew Li Jian's background. She had learned martial arts when she was young, so she must be good at this swordsmanship. She originally thought it was inappropriate for Li Jian to practice like this, but after watching it for a while, she found that Li Jian's swordsmanship gradually became scattered, but his body The shape and sword intent gradually became apparent.
Li Jian's figure is free and fast, coming and going like lightning. He seems to have no rules when advancing and retreating, but he can send and receive freely. Fairy Leng Yue can't help but secretly compare the Li Jian in front of her with herself who was at the second level of Qi refining not long ago. Comparing, comparing, she felt that she did not have such a body technique when she was on the second level of Qi refining.
This is one of them.
The second is that although Li Jian's swordsmanship seems much more scattered than at first, during the dance, the two bamboo branches, one is the master and the other is the servant, the master and slave alternate in an instant, and even in an instant. The master and servant changed several times. She had a unique vision and could judge which bamboo branch was dominant based on the use of Li Jian's sword energy. The dominant one was naturally where the sword energy in the whole body was. This change surprised her the most. She did not expect that Li Jian He is already so proficient in the use of sword energy. If not, this change would not be completed in an instant.
It seems that what Li Jian practiced was actually a close-up technique, Fairy Leng Yue thought to herself.
When ordinary monks use spiritual swords, they usually hurt people with flying swords. The same is true for sword cultivators. However, sword cultivators only practice this sword throughout their lives, so their power is far beyond that of ordinary cultivators. However, there are also some sword cultivators who are good at body skills and are good at fighting close to their opponents. When ordinary cultivators encounter danger, they are used to standing at a distance and defeating their opponents. However, if they encounter a flying sword that misses the stab, they will specifically surround them. People who are chopping away by themselves will definitely be frightened and helpless and just want to run away.
I also thought that when I saw this child facing the swarm of wild bees in the past, he would use the end of the bamboo branch to tap the wild bees to repel them. At that time, I just thought that he was honing his sword skills, but now that I think about it, I should have seen it at that time. His style is mainly close-range. It seems that if he accepts this child as his disciple in the future, he will have to focus more on body skills when giving guidance. This style of sword cultivation requires distance skills. Only extraordinary monks can do it, which is the most difficult to deal with. Of course, it is also more difficult to practice.
Thinking of this, Fairy Lengyue felt that she had gained something from what she saw today, so she thought about going back. However, not far away, her heart suddenly moved, and she turned back to look at Li Jian.
In the distance, Li Jian was still waving his hands and flashing, and two sword lights in his hands surrounded him.
I had seen this child dancing with a bamboo branch as a sword, so I had preconceived the idea and never paid attention to it. Now it seems that the two spiritual bamboos in the child's hands are like two spiritual swords. Could it be... Fairy Lengyue thought for a while in the air, and finally thought of a more obscure one among the sword cultivation methods, that is, one that uses spiritual trees as its roots. There are very few people who practice the sword cultivation method. Among the sword cultivation peers like Mu Xiufeng, I have not heard of anyone who knows this. I only vaguely heard that several seniors have used this method to practice. However, thinking of this Fairy Lengyue looked in the direction of Yuhu Mountain, but what was surprising was that even if the senior who knew this method was still alive, he was probably still on Yuhu Mountain. How did this child know this method?
When he thought of this, Li Jian below was also dancing to the end of his sword dance. He stretched his hands forward, and the two bamboo branches were like two spiritual swords. Then his hands suddenly parted, and the sword light flashed, facing A piece of rock was cut neatly.
Fairy Lengyue looked at the secret passage and saw that she was not wrong. The child was indeed using that method, but he had just practiced it recently and was not proficient and powerful. But how did he learn this? Could it be that, like the previous sword move, he had learned it by himself? Or, thinking of this, Fairy Lengyue thought of the child who used this spiritual bamboo to fight with the wild bees every day. Well, maybe he realized it on his own during that, it was very possible! If this is true, then Li Jian is a rare child, and his future achievements will be truly limitless.
