Chapter 36: Never Flying Swords to Take Heads
It was drizzling outside, so we didn't have to dig a lake today.
Li Shiyin curled up on the sofa, leaning against the cushions, teasing Zhuifeng with a small bamboo stick.
Zhuifeng grew up very fast, almost changing every day. When he was picked up on a rainy night, he was as big as a kitten. Now, less than a week later, he is as big as an adult cat, and a very tough adult cat.
He chased the bamboo stick in Li Shiyin's hand, running from the sofa to the ground, and then jumping from the ground to the coffee table. He looked fierce, as if he had some hatred for the bamboo stick.
Li Shiyin pointed the bamboo stick everywhere, and Zhuifeng chased him everywhere. The man and the cat had a lot of fun.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the door of the living room was pushed open from the outside, and the wet wind blew in from outside. Li Shiyin looked over and saw Qin Ran, who was soaked all over, walking in from outside with a sword.
"Master, where have you been?" Li Shiyin asked.
She paused and turned back quickly, but the bamboo stick in her hand was caught by Zhuifeng. Zhuifeng clapped his two thick claws, opened his mouth and bit, and with a "snap" sound, he broke a section of the bamboo stick.
How fierce, she thought to herself, and threw the whole bamboo stick to Zhuifeng.
"Behind..." Qin Ran replied.
He put away the umbrella, took it outside to shake off the rain, and then brought it in and placed it by the door; he used his magic power to absorb all the rain on his clothes, condensed it into a ball in his hand, and threw it outside the door.
Li Shiyin watched and once again admired the master's control over magic power.
"Behind?" she asked.
"The cave is next to the waterfall..." Qin Ran closed the door and pointed to the back of the house. "The caves in Danfeng before are all over there. There are still some things left in the caves."
Li Shiyin had seen the caves on the back mountain from a distance, but had not been there yet. She nodded and saw the sword in Qin Ran's hand and said, "Is this the sword left by the predecessors?"
"Yes." Qin Ran came over and threw the sword in his hand to her casually, saying, "There are not many people in Danfeng who use swords. I tried my best to find a suitable one for you. It can barely be considered a low-grade magic weapon. You can use this sword to practice sensing objects."
Li Shiyin raised her hand to take the sword. The scabbard was black and heavy, weighing about seven or eight pounds. She pulled out half of the sword. The sword edge was cold and sharp, and there were gray spots on the sword body, just like the stars in the night sky.
The sword is a good sword, but...
"It's so delicate!" She said. The sword was too narrow, not her favorite style.
Closing the sword, she saw the name of the sword on the hilt, Qingxing, and asked, "Which female senior's sword is this?"
"I don't know either." Qin Ran poured a cup of hot water from the kitchen, stood in front of the sofa, and said to Li Shiyin, "You can find any sword to practice sword skills, but you can't control the sword, because you have to feel the object first to control the sword. It's strange to easily communicate with the sword."
Li Shiyin secretly glanced at Qin Ran, secretly thinking that the master's view of love is so pure.
She looked back at the Qingxing Sword. This sword is not only delicate, but also light... Although it weighs seven or eight pounds.
She shook her head and said, "I don't like this sword."
"If you don't like it, you can only bear with it for now. Pay attention. When you have learned the fighting method and the sword-controlling method, we will find someone to forge your natal sword."
Qin Ran said, holding the cup, "When the time comes, your natal sword will be forged according to the requirements of the Nine-turn Star Sword Technique."
Li Shiyin could still accept it for temporary use. She pouted and said, "Find someone to forge it specifically? Then I hope my natal sword can be heavier and more majestic."
"Well, according to your preference." Qin Ran drank the water and asked, "Which magic did you choose?"
"The Starlight Guide Technique." Li Shiyin replied.
Qin Ran nodded. This was not unexpected to him.
The Starlight Guide Technique, to be precise, is not a sword technique, but more like a magic technique to increase destructive power.
Inducing starlight, as the name suggests, is to guide starlight to the sword to gain stronger combat power. This belongs to the close combat method.
This relatively tough close combat method is very suitable for Li Shiyin's personality.
As for close-range melee or long-range spellcasting, it is a personal character, there is no good or bad, he will not comment.
"Since it has been decided, then hurry up and practice..." Qin Ran said, "When you are done practicing, we will go down the mountain."
"Huh? Go down the mountain!?" Li Shiyin's eyes lit up, and she realized that she had to go down the mountain to find someone to forge a sword.
Going down the mountain, can she go to find her silly brother? Can she go home? !
"Yes, I am going down the mountain, but not to play, I am going to find someone to refine my own sword." Qin Ran ruthlessly extinguished Li Shiyin's fantasy.
Li Shiyin was instantly depressed and replied, "Oh!"
"It's raining today, so we don't need to dig a lake. It's a good time to practice sensing objects." Qin Ran sat on the coffee table, facing Li Shiyin, pointed at the sword in her hand, and said, "Don't waste time, let's start now!"
"Ah!" Li Shiyin sighed, pulled out the Qingxing Sword, and asked, "How to sense objects?"
"Sensing objects is the same as sensing qi." Qin Ran explained to Li Shiyin,
"Sensing qi is in the body, feeling the qi in the body, and then pushing the qi according to certain rules, and then starting to practice.
"Sensing objects is to feel the internal structure of objects, which makes it easier to infuse magic power into objects. Magic power operates inside objects, and people use it to control objects..."
As Qin Ran was talking, Zhuifeng, who was biting the bamboo strips frantically, came here chasing the bamboo strips.
One end of the bamboo strip hit the leg of the coffee table, and the other end was still bitten by Zhuifeng. He seemed to know nothing, biting the bamboo strips and continued to move forward, and the bamboo strips were squeezed and bent, and then...
“Snap!”
Zhuifeng opened his mouth and let go of the bamboo stick, which suddenly recovered and hit Qin Ran’s calf.
“Hiss…” Qin Ran gasped in pain and quickly looked down, seeing Zhuifeng chasing the bamboo stick and running over the coffee table like a cat.
“Hey? You little thing!” Qin Ran grabbed Zhuifeng angrily and slapped his innocent face lightly, then put him on the coffee table next to him, pointed at him and said, “Sit down!”
Zhuifeng seemed to know that he had made a mistake at this time, and sat down aggrievedly.
Qin Ran picked up the bamboo stick he was playing with, held one end like a sword, and held it across Li Shiyin’s eyes.
"Use your mind to find the internal law of the object, and then infuse the mana into it according to that law..." As he spoke, the mana was infused from his hand into the bamboo stick. He let go of his hand, and the bamboo stick floated in the air. "This is controlling objects!"
Li Shiyin understood, she nodded, held the Qingxing Sword to her forehead, closed her eyes, and looked for the law in the sword.
"Do you know what that law is?" Qin Ran continued,
"That is actually the formation! Everything has its own law, and that law is the formation. The eight extraordinary meridians, five internal organs, organs, hands and feet in the human body are arranged in the formation, and the road map of the exercises is the formation map. The mana is running in the body according to a certain formation law, and the mana is running in the sword according to a certain formation... For a flying sword, the weapon refiner will definitely set up a formation inside!"
Li Shiyin's mana is running in her body, coming out of the sea of consciousness and entering the Qingxing Sword.
After a moment, she let go of her hand, and the Qingxing Sword floated motionlessly.
The sensing of objects is completed!
"This is just a talent!" Qin Ran shook his head and sighed, he couldn't help but accept it.
He explained the deepest theory of flying swords to Li Shiyin in a simple way, but he was sure that Li Shiyin didn't understand it, but...
She could do it, and it was very simple to do it, this is called talent.
He looked down and saw Zhuifeng squatting next to him, looking seriously at the flying sword floating in front of Li Shiyin's forehead.
