Chapter 75 Do you understand?

Afraid of being too fast and unable to control himself, Li Chuyi deliberately used his sword technique very slowly. As time passed little by little, it took him a long time to complete the first move.

Seeing Li Chuyi's funny slow motion, Xue Qing laughed even harder, while Ye Zhichen next to her also frowned.

"Are you under a immobilizing spell? Are you practicing sword practice? Even a turtle is several times faster than you!"

Ye Zhichen's sarcasm and Xue Qing's laughter reached his ears. Li Chuyi's face turned even redder, and he felt even more dissatisfied. Gritting his teeth, he speeded up the second move. As soon as he raised his hand, the long sword swung disobediently. It flew straight into the sky with a "swish" sound, and then fell straight down. Li Chuyi was so frightened that he jumped away and evaded again and again. .

With a soft sound of "chi", the long sword was stuck straight on the ground, and bursts of soft moans came out along with the slightly trembling sword body, as if it was also laughing at him.

Looking blankly at the long sword on the ground, Li Chuyi murmured: "Why?"

Looking at the stunned Li Chuyi, Xue Qing no longer smiled, but looked at him with pity.

Ye Zhichen next to him frowned, looked at Li Chuyi and said quietly: "Can't you understand?"

Li Chuyi turned to look at Ye Zhichen, silent for a while, and shook his head slightly.

"Watch."

Before the sound could dissipate, Ye Zhichen suddenly moved and turned into a silhouette floating into the courtyard. He grabbed the long sword stuck on the ground and began to dance.

As he used the sword technique, Li Chuyi discovered that what Ye Zhichen was performing was the "Fragment of Ten Thousand Swords Technique" that he had just used. And unlike Li Chuyi's clumsy performance of either crawling or losing his hand, Ye Zhichen's sword moves were smooth and flowing, without any sense of sloppiness, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

The long sword in Ye Zhichen's hand seemed to be no longer a long sword, but a part of himself, his arms, his legs and feet, and his body. The long sword was like an elf, dancing gracefully with Ye Zhichen's movements. Under the sunlight, the bright sword blade bloomed with beautiful brilliance. The "chichi" sound that cuts through the air, as well as the streaks of dust brought up when passing over the ground, all show the murderous intent hidden in this beauty.

Looking at Ye Zhichen at this time, Xue Qing couldn't help but reveal a trace of obsession in her eyes, and Li Chuyi was even more stunned. Although he is dressed in coarse linen clothes and has a messy beard on his face, he looks like a middle-aged man. But once he holds the sword in his hand, like now, Ye Zhichen will immediately transform into another person, a One can't help but be fascinated by and impressed by him. And his enemies will be terrified when they see him holding a sword in his hand.

Looking at Ye Zhichen, Li Chuyi found that he was not using any skills, but was just using his own strength to perform sword moves. Even so, the long sword still left countless sword shadows in the air for some unknown reason, as if Ye Zhichen suddenly had countless hands and swords wielding them at the same time, even without touching the ground. , leaving sword marks on the ground.

If Ye Zhichen was able to use his magic power at the same time, wouldn't it be...

What surprised him even more was that Ye Zhichen was obviously very fast, but the sword shadows all over the sky didn't feel chaotic at all. Instead, they were well organized, making people feel very organized, and he could clearly identify the trajectory of his movement. .

The more Li Chuyi thought about it, the more frightened he became. He never thought that just an ordinary sword dance could produce such power. Before, he thought that mastering the mental method was equivalent to mastering the essence, but now he realized that he was still far behind. He even didn't understand what swordsmanship was at all.

At this time, Li Chuyi finally understood why Ye Zhichen's Taoist title could be honored as Sword Saint.

After using the last move, Ye Zhichen lightly held the sword flower, sheathed the sword and stood up. The long sword pointed diagonally towards the ground shook slightly, making bursts of soft moans. This was not Li Chuyi's mocking hum, but the overwhelming joy as if he had finally met a close friend.

After looking at Xue Qing, who was full of intoxication, Ye Zhichen turned to look at Li Chuyi. His face was not red and he was not out of breath, as if he had not moved at all. He asked calmly: "Do you understand?"

Li Chuyi nodded silently, then shook his head.

Seeing Li Chuyi's strange behavior, Ye Zhichen's lips flashed with a smile, and he asked calmly: "You nod and shake your head, what do you mean?"

"I nodded to say that I understand my shortcomings. I thought that as long as you learn the mental method of swordsmanship, you can do whatever you want, but after watching you perform it, I found that this is not the case. Even without the cooperation of the mental method, simple swordsmanship can be used at will. It can also contain such power. Moreover, although I have mastered the mental method of "The Fragment of Ten Thousand Swords", I still cannot use a complete set of sword techniques, which also illustrates this problem. Before, I thought about swordsmanship. It’s too shallow and simple.”

"As for me shaking my head, it's because I don't understand why this is happening. How can I use swordsmanship as smoothly and smoothly as you do?"

Li Chuyi explained.

Listening to Li Chuyi's answer, Ye Zhichen laughed happily. Looking at Li Chuyi carefully, his eyes gradually showed appreciation and a hint of surprise.

Looking at Li Chuyi, Ye Zhichen smiled and said: "You are able to realize your own shortcomings and dare to admit your own shallowness and narrow-mindedness. This is very rare and I appreciate it very much. As for you wanting to be like me, The only way is to practice hard. Start with the basics, become familiar with every movement of swordsmanship, and master it until it becomes your instinct. Techniques are just a combination of several basic movements such as stabbing, chopping, lifting, hanging, clouding, pressing, pulling, collapsing, and cutting. The order of the combination, the angle and the strength are different, and there are differences in reality and reality. There are various sword techniques. To be able to perform these movements in one go depends on the appropriate mental skills. In short, only by practicing hard can you achieve greatness."

Listening to Ye Zhichen's narration, Li Chuyi couldn't help but think of the "Swordsmanship Essentials" that he had never been interested in before. When I read it before, I didn't feel that there was anything special about this book. It only talked about basic movements, and there was no powerful swordsmanship or powerful mental skills. But now when I heard Ye Zhichen talk about it, I realized that I was really too good at it. I have underestimated this book, or in other words, I have underestimated the importance of the basics.

It’s not Li Chuyi’s fault. He has followed Taoist priests since he was a child and was taught ten scriptures in the "Tao Canon" which are like a heavenly book. He has been practicing like a sheep and has never studied systematically. Even Taoist skills were taught by him through hard work. In addition, Taoist priests need an assistant to cooperate with him in "making money by doing things", so he taught him a few tricks. Although there are some spells in the "Tao Canon" that can be learned, almost all of them can only be practiced after each chapter has been revised to an almost complete level. Moreover, those spells, like other scriptures, are confusing and confusing. , I don’t know the power and effectiveness.

Silently thinking about Ye Zhichen's words, Li Chuyi suddenly asked: "I still don't know something. We are monks. In the past, when I saw my master using his sword, he would directly fly out to hit the enemy's head with one sword, or use a burst of sword energy. Why do we still need to learn Lao Shizi's sword skills to cut the opponent in half? At first, I thought that only low-level sword skills would be matched by sword skills, but in the past few days, I have read many of your collections. Sword manual, I found that both high-level and low-level sword skills have two parts: mental skills and sword skills. I don’t understand why monks still need to learn sword skills when they rely on flying swords and sword energy.”

Hearing this, Ye Zhichen shook his head and said, "You are wrong."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Li Chuyi to speak, Ye Zhichen made a slight gesture to Xue Qing. When Xue Qing nodded in understanding, he slashed out with his sword. Suddenly, a sword energy flew out and went straight to Xue Qing. When Xue Qing saw the sword energy coming, she didn't panic. She just turned her body slightly to let it pass.

Seeing this, Ye Zhichen ignored the surprised Li Chuyi and swung his sword again. Suddenly, a second sword energy that seemed to be exactly the same as before appeared and ran towards Xue Qing as before.

Facing this sword energy that seemed to have no change, Xue Qing frowned slightly. Before the sword energy came, her body swayed a few times, erratic from left to right, making people wonder where she was going. It wasn't until the sword energy came upon her that she moved slightly and stepped aside. But this time, although the sword energy was also given away, it was not completely dodged like before. Instead, the end of the sword was lightly swiped at Xue Qing's body, so that Xue Qing still had to take action and touch it lightly after dodging. The Dao Sword Qi was completely dodged and no damage was suffered.

"Senior Brother Ye is good at swordsmanship, and Junior Sister is ashamed of himself." Xue Qing turned her beautiful eyes and gave a slight salute in praise.

"Junior sister, please don't be humble. It's just to let this kid see clearly. Otherwise, how can the mere sword energy touch the junior sister at all." Ye Zhichen bowed in return.

Seeing Li Chuyi's confused look, Ye Zhichen smiled slightly and explained: "The first sword is according to what you said. It is a sword strike that goes straight to the enemy's head. And the second sword is It integrates swordsmanship skills into it. It seems to be as straight as the first sword, but in fact there are many changes that you can't see now, making it difficult for the opponent to distinguish, until it is impossible to dodge, or cannot dodge them all. As for the result, you see. Here we are. So, do you understand?”

After scratching his head, Li Chuyi looked at Ye Zhichen and said naively: "I don't understand."

Ye Zhichen couldn't help but feel angry, while Xue Qing covered her mouth and smiled softly. They couldn't help but feel in their hearts that this child was indeed too bearish.

"However, although I don't understand it now, I know the importance of the foundation. I will practice it carefully in the future, and I would like to ask Uncle Ye for more guidance." Li Chu straightened his face and gave Ye Zhichen a respectful salute.

Ye Zhichen nodded with satisfaction and said quietly: "As long as you are willing, I will naturally teach you. Tomorrow morning, wait for me in the courtyard, and I will start teaching you how to practice swordsmanship."

Li Chuyi hurriedly bowed in response.

Looking at Ye Zhichen who showed satisfaction in his indifference, and looking at Li Chuyi who looked respectful but secretly winked at her while Ye Zhichen was not paying attention, Xue Qing couldn't help but smile.

She was really happy for these two men, and at the same time, she was also happy from the bottom of her heart that she could see this scene.

Thinking of what she said to Ye Zhichen before, "Treat him like a father," Xue Qing couldn't help but blush slightly. She thought to herself that at this moment, and with herself here, wouldn't it be like a family of three? ?

The three people, each with their own thoughts, dragged out three long shadows under the sunset.

Like, like a family.
