After taking a sip of spiritual tea to moisten his throat, Yun Tianhong said: "When you came to Meishan, except for Xiao Die'er and Qing Ming, you haven't said anything about yourself."
"Although I can't help you with your cultivation, you are about to leave. If you have anything to ask, you might as well tell me and see if I can help you."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this, then took out a thin bamboo sword and started playing with it in his hand.
Said: "Junior wants to know, if I forge a flying sword, how can I make it fly back to me after I slash it out?"
In the second battle in the Shura Heaven Realm, he used the flying sword from the East China Sea. In the end, he borrowed the power of Ksitigarbha and the power of heaven and earth to make the flying sword return to him.
From now on, Crow will stay with Xiao Die'er, and no one will help him find the missing flying sword.
Everything must be solved by himself.
Before leaving Meishan, he had to understand the reason behind this. Otherwise, he would have no choice but to ask the master who saw Shenlong disappear.
Yun Tianhong nodded, and finally, the young man in front of him took that step.
In order to take this step, she had to practice hard for many years. How much effort did the young man in front of her spend? Just ten years.
Ten years later, the young man was no longer satisfied with materializing the sword, but wanted to make the flying sword capable of killing enemies and return it to his own hands.
After thinking for a moment, he said: "Before that, let's talk about the way of heaven."
"You can imagine yourself as him, and you will understand the principle of flying swords when you perceive the world covered by your spiritual consciousness. Just like when your mind moves, you can see Wang Qiang chanting sutras on Xuefeng Mountain."
"Then learn from this principle to capture the traces of the flying sword. Imagine that you are a Tao with a radius of ten or dozens of miles. You want to bind everything in this world."
"Observe these traces carefully and understand them, then find the trace you want, and then try to control it with your thoughts. Thoughts are just what the world calls it, but to you it is divine consciousness."
Found traces? Understand the trajectory of the flying sword?
Li Xiuyuan thought of the flying sword slashed by Shura Tianyu Taoyuan, and thought that the flying sword was like lightning, and he didn't even think about catching the trajectory.
He was so shocked that he couldn't speak. It turned out that he should have paid attention to the traces of the flying sword at that time.
Seeing Li Xiuyuan's shocked expression, Yun Tianhong frowned.
He picked up the bamboo sword from his hand and said softly: "Look carefully."
After saying that, she waved her hand and the bamboo sword flew out of her hand like electricity and flew towards the sky outside the window. However, Li Xiuyuan did not see the trajectory of the bamboo sword clearly at all, let alone catch it.
Shaking his head gently, Li Xiuyuan said nothing.
Yun Tianhong sighed, waited for the bamboo sword to fly back, and said again: "Let's see."
This time, the bamboo sword cut out from her fingers staggered and flew into the sky as if she was drunk.
For the first time, Li Xiuyuan's condensed consciousness caught the flying sword in the air. Like flying flowers in the wind, it flew lightly into the sky, and then slowly flew back.
The flying sword flew high into the sky and was about to lose control. It was as if a big hand grabbed it from the sky and brought it back to the window of the main hall.
At that moment, he said in a daze: "Senior slowed down, and I could barely see the flying sword like flying flowers and catch its traces. Can I control him with just my thoughts?"
After saying this, Li Xiuyuan subconsciously turned his head and looked at the sky outside the window, wondering if he had to learn this sword intention from scratch like on the Snow Mountain of the Tang Dynasty?
Yun Tianhong smiled and said, "You can use a leaf first to make it fly slower and closer to you."
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said with a wry smile: "As a young man learning archery, my husband told me that the highest level of archery is how far the heart can see and how far the arrow can shoot."
"But I didn't expect that one day, I would have to practice in reverse and find a way to find the sword that I had already slashed between heaven and earth, and let it fly back obediently. It would be so troublesome."
In his opinion, even the gentleman in Xinghua Valley did not expect such a day.
I am afraid that only a master above the Nine Heavens will slowly ponder such troublesome and complicated matters in endless years.
Yun Tianhong continued: "As for using your consciousness to control the flying sword, it is more troublesome than shooting the iron arrow. Your iron arrow can explode or even burn, but the flying sword cannot be damaged."
Sighing, Li Xiuyuan smiled bitterly and said: "I seem to understand a little bit. What I want to cultivate now is not strength, but the mastery and control of my spiritual consciousness?"
Yun Tianhong chuckled when he heard this and said, "You are so smart."
Li Xiuyuan suddenly felt frustrated, thinking that in the next countless years, he was afraid that he would no longer be able to use this flying sword.
At least until his eyes recovered, before he could slash the bamboo sword in his hand and fly back.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan laughed: "Well, at least I won't be bored in the days to come. I can continue to practice hard like I practiced swordsmanship back then."
Yun Tianhong didn't expect that he would let go of his entanglements in a blink of an eye and decide to start from the beginning. He couldn't help but be stunned.
If people in the world hear this, they will probably feel like they have fallen from the sky into the abyss.
Li Xiuyuan only struggled for a moment and figured it out.
So he continued: "In that case, just wrap the snowflakes around your fingers like before. This is much simpler than that."
"Yes, that is the biggest trouble I encounter in my practice."
Thinking of the scene on the Snow Mountain of Datang, Li Xiuyuan showed a proud smile on his face.
He said: "Back then, I was in the Snow Mountains of Datang trying to hold the snowflakes all over the sky between my fingers for a moment. I don't know how much effort it took."
"When I watched the crystal snowflakes flying between my fingers, how could others experience the joy of that moment? That was the first step to flying a sword, right?"
After a moment of confusion, Li Xiuyuan sighed: "I have already passed the most difficult part, and I will go through it again."
Yun Tianhong smiled slightly: "Your metaphor will embarrass many monks in the world."
Sighing softly several times in his heart, Yun Tianhong was thinking, how many people in the entire Xuanwu Shuanglu space can use lightning-like flying swords?
How many people can take back the flying sword that has been chopped off?
At least, no one can do it in the Holy Land of Snowfield and a group of elders on Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
Thinking of this, Yun Tianhong smiled and said: "Think about it, how you will feel when you are on the battlefield in the future, standing under a city wall hundreds of feet tall, and be able to kill the general on the city tower with one sword."
Li Xiuyuan nodded, thinking that was exactly what happened.
But then I think about it, right? So he continued to ask: "But flying swords are not omnipotent, right?"
"That's natural, otherwise wouldn't you be invincible?"
Yun Tianhong smiled and said: "Even if you are extremely talented and can slash lightning with a sword from several miles away, it's just that if your opponent has a spiritual consciousness as powerful as yours, or has a cultivation level higher than yours."
After a pause, Yun Tianhong sighed and said, "You will find that your flying sword is like a mud cow entering the sea."
Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly: "It seems that this can only be used as a surprise attack after all, and cannot be relied on too much."
Yun Tianhong also showed a look of regret on his face.
Said: "Returning to the previous principle, when you are stronger than the way of heaven in this world, when you rain down a bolt of lightning, it is a punishment from heaven, and your flying sword is invincible."
Li Xiuyuan was speechless when he heard this, thinking to himself, if I can be as good as the sky, why should I practice this flying sword so hard?
However, this was just what he was thinking in his heart, but he couldn't express it.
Otherwise, if Master finds out, he will scold him countless times, and scolding him is too high-minded.
After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said softly: "Back then, my sister and I practiced swordsmanship on the pine needles of Tianshan Mountain. Unexpectedly, many years later, I would have to practice it all over again."
After hearing what he said, Yun Tianhong couldn't help but smile and said, "That's just right. You can practice the techniques you used back then backwards."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself, is it possible that I can make the pine needles that fell from the tree fly back from the ground using my spiritual consciousness?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be frightened.
Unexpectedly, Yun Tianhong actually explained the most troublesome truth in the world to himself in the simplest language.
Isn’t his Talisman the only way to control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for his own use?
So if you switch to a flying sword, what you need to do is to use your spiritual consciousness to control the spiritual sword in your hand, and one day, you can even control everything in the world.
Only then did he understand that wanting to be on par with Heaven was not as simple as he said.
Sighing softly, Li Xiuyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Senior, do you have any other powerful skills that you can teach me?"
Tian Yunhong shook his head and said with a smile: "Now, it seems not."
...
It was raining lightly in the morning, and Li Xiuyuan rarely had a late sleep.
For the time being, he would put aside the matter of Feijian, and spend the rest of the time with Xiao Die'er and Crow.
News came from the old monk at Xuefeng Mountain that junior sister Sima Jingyun had returned to Baixue City long ago. Wang Qiang was practicing Buddhism freely and did not need his attention.
Xiaodie'er and Crow, who got up early, finished their homework before knocking on Li Xiuyuan's door.
Li Xiuyuan opened the door and took the two little guys to the garden outside the door.
Looking at the two of them, Li Xiuyuan felt deep reluctance in his heart, but he was helpless. His road was too difficult, and he couldn't drag Xiaodie'er to suffer.
Looking at the green grass in the garden, Li Xiuyuan found a short sapling with a few leaves.
He took a gentle breath and said with a smile: "I planted two peach trees in this garden, using the peach stones you had eaten in Lantian Town..."
"Ah! This is great."
Xiaodie'er lowered her head, looked at the saplings in the soil carefully, and exclaimed: "Master, will this little peach tree be able to bear spiritual peaches in the future?"
Li Xiuyuan did not come back immediately, but took her hand and came ten feet away, turned over the grass, and found another peach sapling.
Then he said to Crow: "The previous one belonged to your senior sister. This one needs you to take care of it and grow up. Can you do it?"
The separation was imminent, Li Xiuyuan thought about it again and again, and finally thought that this was not a solution.
Distracting the two of them and finding something to look forward to, a hopeful dream, may alleviate the pain of the upcoming separation.
Crow squatted beside the master, staring at the sapling less than three inches tall, and said with a smile: "Sister, we have something to do now, we have to do violence and catch insects."
Xiao Die'er nodded: "Master, don't worry, Xiao Die'er will definitely take care of them and bring them back to Ding'an City in the future."
Li Xiuyuan nodded and smiled slightly: "Everything in the world has its own spirituality. Whether you can grow into a spiritual peach or not, you only need to put in 70% of your efforts."
Crow nodded and asked: "I didn't expect that the master would cultivate saplings for us. It's really amazing."
Xiao Die'er looked at the saplings in the soil, thought for a moment and asked, "Master, are there still three points left?"
Li Xiuyuan stood up, patted the dirt on his hands, looked up at the sky and said quietly: "The remaining three points depends on God's will."
