Li Ye, who was too drunk, had another hangover. When he rubbed his eyes and pushed open the door, it was already the second day of the New Year's Eve.
Chenshi.
Today, it snowed heavily in the sky over Fangcun Mountain.
Snowy days are suitable for sword practice.
After going into the kitchen to get some water and washing up, Li Ye took out the purple bamboo sword, waved it out with his left hand, and gently held a sword flower.
For sword practice, he still likes to use the bamboo sword he sharpened himself.
The bamboo sword has no moves, it can only cut through the wind and snow.
Whenever he uses this bamboo sword, he will think of Xiaobai, Old Ape and Old Wolf on Tianshan Mountain, and of that happy time.
From building the foundation to the golden elixir and then to the Nascent Soul, they were all completed on the Tianshan Mountains. He had too deep feelings for it.
He had promised the old ape that one day he would go to Tianshan again to see the descendants of the old ape and the old wolf.
I don't know since when, as long as Li Ye picked up the bamboo sword, he would close his eyes and sense the surrounding environment with his spiritual consciousness.
He has not practiced sword skills with his husband yet. In his opinion, as long as he can cut away the snowflakes in front of his eyes, it is a good swordsmanship.
After practicing with his left hand for half an hour, he switched the bamboo sword to his right hand, and the speed of swinging out with his right hand became even more agile.
Although he was unable to use the true energy power of the Nascent Soul Realm, with the strength of his physical body alone, he had already formed a spiral nest under the pear tree, and the spiral nest was filled with white snow falling from the sky.
Gradually, this white spiral becomes bigger and bigger...
The movement in the courtyard woke up Mr.
After he pushed it out, he looked at the swirling nests in the yard with a satisfied smile on his face.
The baby bird is finally about to fly high.
Li Hongxiu, who got up with him, put on her clothes and rubbed her eyes. She stood behind him and was about to scream, but the husband reached out and gently covered her mouth.
"Look, this is a rare sight." Mr. Bian had never seen Li Ye practicing his sword seriously in the snow, so he naturally wanted to admire it for a while longer.
After regaining consciousness, Li Hongxiu lay down behind her husband, bit his ear and asked, "When did this little guy become so powerful?"
The husband smiled, stroked her long hair and said, "Guess."
...
Next door to where Li Ye slept was the room where Tang Qiuyu, Mu Mu and Xia Wutong lived. Tang Qiuyu had already woken up when Li Ye opened the door.
At this time, she was sitting in front of the window, watching Li Ye first use the sword in his left hand, and then switch to the sword in his right hand... Her mouth opened wider and wider, and she felt more and more surprised.
Until now, she didn't know that Li Ye actually hid one hand and could actually use the sword with both hands.
You know, in the entire five realms, no practitioner can practice a two-handed sword.
Just training one hand requires all the effort of the practitioner. How can one have the energy to train the other hand?
When Li Ye changed the sword in his right hand, she slapped Xia Wutong awake.
The master and apprentice sat in front of the window, watching quietly as Li Ye wrapped the snowflakes in the sky into a white whirlwind until no one could be seen.
"Master, Li Ye is getting more and more powerful!" Xia Wutong whispered softly.
"Now you understand how people practice hard and hard, right? I heard from my husband that he is currently practicing Buddhist physical skills, but he didn't expect that his sword skills are also improving."
Tang Qiuyu sighed quietly, her own swordsmanship had not improved for a long time.
Xia Wutong glanced at Tang Qiuyu and whispered: "Master, why don't you talk to your junior brother later and see if he has any tips?"
...
While the master and apprentice were whispering softly, a soft "bang" sound came from the yard, but it was Li Ye who ended his sword practice and slashed away the flying snow in the sky with one sword.
The master and apprentice looked up from the window and saw Li Ye, wearing coarse linen clothes, standing under the tree.
Holding the sword in his right hand, it is like a picture scroll displayed in front of everyone.
At this time, Li Ye stood under the tree without moving. When he opened his eyes, he naturally looked at the snowflakes on the bamboo sword.
Qiu Shui Wuhen replaced it with a bamboo sword, and he wanted to know if the result would be the same.
The gentleman had already walked up to him, looked at the bamboo sword in his hand, smiled and asked, "How is it?"
Looking at Li Jin's husband, Li Ye couldn't help but grin again, handed the purple bamboo sword in his hand to his husband, and said with a smile: "It's alright, one sword with seven flowers."
Qiushui Wuhen replaced it with a bamboo sword, and it was still Wuhen's sword that chopped off seven snowflakes.
Xia Wutong, who was sitting under the window, covered her mouth and hugged Tang Qiuyu vigorously.
After a long while, he said blankly: "Seven snowflakes with one sword. He can actually chop down seven snowflakes with one sword?"
Tang Qiuyu patted her little hand and said softly: "It's not about cutting it down, but cutting it off! When I met him on Tianshan Mountain, he could kill three snowflakes with one sword."
After saying these words, he couldn't help but look at his precious disciple with distress: "You can use him as the goal of practice, but don't compare with him, he is a monster!"
Tang Qiuyu spat lightly.
The gentleman looked at the gradually melting snowflakes on the bamboo sword, turned around and asked, "I wonder if Mr. Tang is interested in trying to see how many snowflakes he can chop off with one sword?"
Tang Qiuyu was stunned, glanced at Xia Wutong who was in a daze, stood up and opened the door.
Looking at the master and apprentice under the pear tree, he smiled and said, "I don't want to compete with your evil apprentice. I already competed with you on Tianshan Mountain."
The gentleman smiled, looked up at the sky, and said, "The weather is nice today, do you want to try again?"
Tang Qiuyu shook his head, looked at Li Ye and asked with a smile: "I don't have any thoughts. I only care about my sword. I wonder if Li Ye has finished casting it for me?"
"It's snowing all over the sky, and you actually said the weather is nice. Husband, are you okay?" Li Hongxiu, who had finished dressing, walked out of the room.
The husband looked at Li Hongxiu who was approaching on snowflakes, shook his head, and said lightly: "I said the weather is nice, but that's not what you meant!"
When Tang Qiuyu and Li Hongxiu heard this, they both glanced at Mr. Li Ye.
Li Ye blushed and quickly replied: "Sir, what you mean is that snowy days are suitable for practicing swordsmanship."
The two women suddenly realized and stared at the husband hatefully.
The old man blushed, looked at the two women and smiled: "Wind, flowers, snow, and moon all have artistic conceptions. Understanding the meaning of the sword in the artistic conception is the best practice. It just depends on whether you are willing to put in the sweat and time. ."
After saying that, he returned the bamboo sword in his hand to Li Ye, and then walked towards the living room.
Li Hongxiu followed him and muttered: "My sister and I are both willing to learn. Isn't it too late for you to teach us now?"
Tang Qiuyu looked at Li Hongxiu, bit her lip and nodded.
The gentleman turned around, looked at the two women in front of him, laughed, pointed at Li Ye who was standing under the pear tree and said, "Don't you know when did I teach him how to practice swordsmanship?"
Hearing his husband talking about himself, Li Ye, who was thinking in a daze, patted the snow on his body and walked forward quickly.
"I just asked him to carve some words on the stone wall of Tianshan Mountain. Later, he and Mu Mu practiced together on the pine needles on the ground beside the wooden house."
"Then the two of them went to pick up some bamboo leaves to practice swordsmanship. They didn't carry any of this behind your back. You watched them grow up. As for later, he went to the depths of the Tianshan Mountains alone. Those encounters didn't even bother me. I don’t know anymore.”
The gentleman looked at the two women jokingly and opened the door to the living room with a smile.
Li Hongxiu was stunned. Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed true. When he was bored, he practiced with Li Ye and Mu Mu several times.
Tang Qiuyu didn't know much about Li Ye's past. When he heard about it again today, he realized that this swordsmanship was really the result of Li Ye's hard training for many years.
The four of them sat at the table. The husband lit the red clay stove on the table and put the kettle on.
He said calmly: "Everyone knows that jade cannot be used as a weapon if it is not carved, but the meaning of a sword cannot be achieved without practicing it. Not many people understand this truth. Some people have practiced swords all their lives and never understood the meaning of the sword until they are old. Doesn’t this explain the problem?”
"Husband, you are calling me stupid. You can scold me if you want. There is no need to beat around the bush."
Li Hongxiu rolled her eyes at her husband and sat down next to Tang Qiuyu.
The husband looked at her with stern eyes, knocked on the table lightly and said: "Although sword practice requires hard work, it requires understanding. Take the scriptures on which Ye'er practiced calligraphy as an example. In Ye'er's eyes, those It’s just scripture after scripture.”
"But if it were Mr. Tang, she could see the sword intent contained in it... It doesn't matter if she can't cultivate the sword intent. Being able to see other people's sword intent is also an improvement."
"Is this okay?" Li Hongxiu looked at him and asked blankly.
"Being able to understand other people's sword intentions into your own sword intentions is a kind of sublimation, the sublimation of sword intentions."
The gentleman looked at the two women in front of him and explained with a smile.
"Before, I only wanted to improve your realm as soon as possible, but I forgot to tell you these principles. It seems that you should practice swordsmanship with Ye'er in the future and understand your own sword intention from him."
"If you are not allowed to use your true energy, neither of you two can be Ye'er's opponent just by relying on your moves."
The gentleman said seriously, and for a moment he felt that the two women in front of him had to beat the drums hard.
Li Ye, who was sitting opposite Li Hongxiu, blushed at this moment. He looked at his husband and murmured: "Sir, my wife and Mr. Tang are both masters of the distraction realm!"
Unexpectedly, the teacher continued to strike: "What about the state of distraction? If you don't have your own sword moves and techniques, you will always be able to compete with practitioners who are lower than yourself. When you meet an outstanding practitioner of the same state, you will Just hiding."
Li Ye lowered his head and thought. Come to think of it, aren't the killers who ambushed him on the road a good example?
But he couldn't talk about these things.
This was the first time for Li Hongxiu to see her man speaking so harshly. Thinking back carefully, he had indeed been pampering him along the way, and he felt a sense of superiority invisibly.
Biting her lip, she replied softly: "It seems that my previous life was indeed too comfortable. I will have to practice harder in the future."
Tang Qiuyu looked at Li Ye and suddenly said: "In the days to come, we will practice sword practice with you, so don't bother us!"
"I told you that instead of cooking early in the morning and sitting here making tea and talking about the meaning of the sword, you might as well hurry up and prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. Later, we can all discuss the meaning of the wine together. That's the real thing."
While he was talking, Ouyang Dongli's thunderous voice sounded in the living room.
"Master, you are here, sit down and drink tea quickly, I will make porridge in a moment."
Li Ye saw Ouyang Dongli coming in and quickly stood up to greet him.
"Are you born in the year of the dog? It's not yet noon, and you came here early in the morning, and you don't want to let me sleep for a while."
Li Hongxiu looked at Ouyang Dongli, who was sitting carelessly, and curled his lips.
