Every morning at Youtanqi's station, you can see Zhang Yan holding a wooden sword and making gestures outside the tent. At first glance, it looks like a child playing house. There are many people who sneered after seeing it.
But no one ran to Zhang Yan to shout. But now Zhang Yan's reputation as "a lineage of miscellaneous scholars" has become very loud in Yubei Mountain Fortress, but many people still regard him as a madman, thinking that he is half mad, if not completely mad.
But there are also sharp-eyed people. For example, those warriors who have done some research on sword fighting techniques have discovered that Zhang Yan's endless practice of movements every day is definitely not some crazy kid's play, but a not simple sword fighting technique, and it is consistent with Most of the sword techniques are different in number. They are not the open and closed path. They are more delicate and agile, and have an inexplicable aura of awe.
Many warriors are curious about why Zhang Yan practices swordsmanship. He obviously has no talent for martial arts.
When I asked, I was speechless.
"Ah? My sword dance is just to strengthen my body and stretch my legs."
What can you do?
I also hope to learn this sword technique. If you ask Zhang Yan, you won't be able to ask, and the other person's identity is from a mysterious miscellaneous school. There may be many rules in it, and I'm afraid it won't be easy to teach outsiders. So they all chose to watch silently from the side. You ran out to practice sword practice. It’s okay for me to watch, right?
It's a pity that what Zhang Yan practiced was "Qi-inducing Sword Technique", which is an authentic Taoist method. The sword moves in it are just superficial. The real core is the word "Qi-inducing". Outsiders who don't know how to practice can't learn Qi-inducing. The moves are just superficial, Zhang Yan doesn't need to care about this.
Even as his cultivation level improved, Zhang Yan's martial arts cultivation in the Wild Sky Realm and the martial arts cultivation and Shinto he brought from the earth were not the same path at all. They were very different.
Zhang Yan has already witnessed the tyranny of martial arts cultivators this year. It can be said that warriors in the Body Tempering Realm are actually not very intuitively different from ordinary soldiers except for being more flexible, stronger, and more capable of resisting blows and injuries. But once the martial arts cultivator enters the Kaiyuan realm, it will be completely different.
Just like Qin Hao, whom Zhang Yan is most familiar with, he is a warrior in the middle stage of the Kaiyuan Realm. He has internal energy, can carry thousands of pounds of strength with every move he makes, and can also display powerful combat skills.
In Zhang Yan's view, the so-called power of combat skills is essentially the same as the means of magic, and what they evoke is actually the power of heaven and earth. It just behaves differently. The power of combat skills is mainly a means of attracting the power of heaven and earth to strengthen oneself. The principle of magic is to induce the power of heaven and earth, with oneself as a supporting role to guide.
Therefore, Zhang Yan is not qualified to evaluate who is stronger in martial arts, martial arts, or Shinto cultivation. He even felt that this kind of comparison was unnecessary because the methods themselves were different.
For example, as far as Zhang Yan has seen so far, the methods of martial arts are almost all based on the word "武". They are mostly used for physical strengthening and fighting, and there are very few other things. But Taoist magic is different. Even a novice like Zhang Yan has many methods that are not used in battle.
"Five Elements Qi Shield" and "Qi Guiding Sword Technique" are Zhang Yan's means of self-protection. Now that almost a year has passed, he has mastered these two methods and can definitely use them, not to mention breaking into houses. So he felt at ease and wanted to choose another method.
This time, Zhang Yan is not only focusing on "preserving survival" but also satisfying his curiosity.
Since I was a child, I followed my master to read various classics and miscellaneous books in Longhu Mountain. What I heard and saw was the glory and magic of the legendary era. At the same time, the most curious thing is the "other side of the world" that is said to be invisible to the "naked eye." After Zhang Yan settled down and improved his cultivation, he could no longer hold back his thoughts.
Although the tower in Wanxiang Pearl still only has one level open to Zhang Yan, the magic methods in it are like stars, and it is easy to choose the method Zhang Yan wants: "Yin Yang Pupil Technique"!
As a Chinese who grew up with legends about gods and monsters, how could Zhang Yan not be interested in Yin Yang Eyes?
Since "Yin Yang Pupil Technique" is on the first floor of the Wanxiang Pearl Tower, it means that it is not actually a very advanced magic method, it is just at the entry level.
Perhaps for monks, distinguishing humans and ghosts at a glance and seeing yin and yang at a glance are basic methods, so they are not considered advanced.
After Zhang Yan lightly touched the golden ball representing "Yin Yang Pupil Technique", his consciousness returned to his body, and all the methods and tips about "Yin Yang Pupil Technique" were in his mind. He just needed to start practicing according to these messages.
"Yin Yang Pupil Technique" is indeed not difficult. Even after Zhang Yan carefully studied it, he felt that it was much simpler than "Five Elements Qi Shield" and "Qi Guiding Sword Technique".
But after practicing for three days in a row, Zhang Yan didn't feel anything else except that it went smoothly.
According to "Yin-Yang Pupil Technique", the spiritual energy is gathered in the eyes, and then the yang energy and yin energy are gradually screened out using specific techniques. Finally, it is added in front of the line of sight like a filter, and you can see in the eyes what is normally invisible to the naked eye. The evil things you see are commonly known as ghosts.
"As described in "Yin-Yang Eyes", I should have opened the "Yin-Yang Eyes" now. Why haven't I seen anything evil no matter day or night?"
Zhang Yan didn't believe in gods and ghosts when he was on Earth before, even though he himself had benefited a lot from the theory of gods and ghosts. But later when he arrived in the Wild Sky Territory, he realized that he had thought simply before. Now he believes it, but he is not afraid, because there is the mighty Dragon and Tiger Mountain Sect behind him, and he is also a member of the Taoist sect, so how can he be afraid of this?
In the entire Yubei Mountain Fortress, people die almost every day. Over the years, there is not a single ghost! ?
The only thing that made Zhang Yan realize that his yin and yang eyes were not working was that although he couldn't see ghosts, he could see souls. The souls of those soldiers who died in the wounded barracks under the city wall would float out after death, but they would soon melt away like snow.
After death, the soul comes out. It should return to heaven and earth, but it is hindered by the six desires and seven emotions, creates evil obstacles, resists the laws of heaven and earth, is trapped and obsessed by obsession, and enters the ghost realm to disturb the world...
Zhang Yan did not believe that these soldiers who died on the battlefield were mentally peaceful and had no worries, and could all "return to heaven and earth" safely. He clearly saw many people's souls looking ferocious and unwilling after death, but they still disappeared, which seemed to be different from the description of ghosts in Longhu Mountain Gate.
After thinking about it, Zhang Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with Longhushan's "Yin Yang Pupil Technique". The only reason why he didn't see ghosts was that the place he was in was unusual.
"The fortress is a place for military strategists. The evil aura is soaring to the sky, and the aura of the army is extremely strong. Is it possible that it is because of these reasons that evil things cannot be born here?" Zhang Yan had a guess in his mind.
