Xie Xiaoyu returned to his stone room. Before he could meditate, someone came to worship him from outside.
That person was Su Mingcheng who had just separated.
As soon as he entered the stone room, Captain Su asked in a low voice: "Brother, I'm afraid you don't know who wants to cause trouble for you, right?"
"It's a middle-aged scribe who never leaves his hand, shouldn't he be right?" Xie Xiaoyu had already guessed.
He thought of two possibilities.
The first possibility is that someone wants to seize that section of the mine tunnel.
If this was a new mining area, the possibility would be greater, but this is an old mining area, and the miners who stay here are all without background. How could a helmsman at the lobby come to trouble him?
The second possibility is that his enemies hired someone to deal with him.
"After he came to Tianbao Prefecture, he offended three groups of people. When he got off the ship, he once turned a person into a eunuch. Before coming here, he offended a bald man, and finally it was the scribe.
The first person is a member of a small gang, which is basically excluded. The second person is the leader of a small gang, which is somewhat possible, but compared with the third person, the possibility is much smaller.
Su Mingcheng smiled bitterly. He originally wanted to tip off the information and sell a favor, but he didn't expect that this person had already guessed it.
"Can you let me know what's the grudge between you two?" He just wants to make a match, which can be regarded as a favor.
"There is no grudge, I just saved their lives." Xie Xiaoyu said calmly.
Su Mingcheng couldn't say anything, and he was secretly glad that he didn't interact too closely with that group of people.
The most shameful things for people in the world are three things - bullying teachers and destroying ancestors, betraying friends for glory, and being ungrateful.
Su Mingcheng considers himself not a good person, but he cannot do such despicable things.
"It's a waste for such a person to live. Do you want me to" Su Mingcheng made a killing gesture.
"I will deal with those ungrateful people." A cold breath came out from between Xie Xiaoyu's teeth.
Captain Su shuddered, and he was glad that he stopped quickly.
Unable to make the other party owe a favor, the helmsman gritted his teeth and took out a box from his sleeve.
"I'm here to ask for your advice." He gently opened the box, and inside was a scroll.
The scroll was made of fine yellow silk, with an ebony shaft in the middle. On the side facing him were written several large characters - "Shifang Dao Zang? The True Interpretation of Sword Talisman".
Xie Xiaoyu was shocked when he saw these names.
He originally thought that what Captain Su inherited was something like the Wild Fox Zen, but he didn¡¯t expect that it was the authentic Xuanmen sect.
He took a breath of air and carefully picked up the Taoist book.
He didn¡¯t dare to open it. He read the big words first.
To be able to call it Taoist canon, one must collect countless Taoist scriptures, combine them with the top Taoist sects, and go through two or three generations of revision and compilation.
The two words "Ten Directions" in front are also very special. They represent heaven, earth, east, south, west, north, life, death, past and future.
This "True Interpretation of Sword Talismans" should be a chapter of "The Taoist Canon of the Ten Directions".
"The eight characters are all written in Yunzhuan. At first glance, they are just characters, but when you look at them carefully, you feel that they are ever-changing, as if they contain endless mysteries.
He slowly unfolded the scroll.
The text inside is also written in Yunzhuan, which is difficult to read and complicated. But as long as he can understand it, he will definitely feel enlightened.
Xie Xiaoyu looked at it blankly. He looked at it very carefully. His face was sometimes happy, sometimes distressed, sometimes as if he had some enlightenment, and sometimes frowning.
Su Mingcheng stood aside with his hands down. He didn't read the scriptures. He could recite the words on them backwards and forwards. What he paid attention to was Xie Xiaoyu's face.
Xie Xiaoyu is definitely not the first person he has asked for advice. He has already let five people read this Taoist book before. But no one else's performance was as exciting.
It took a long time before Xie Xiaoyu came back to her senses. The initial indifference on her face was no longer there, but a bit more respectful.
"When I was in the sect, I heard about this book "The Taoist Canon of the Ten Directions".
This Taoist canon is an astonishing classic compiled by the Tianyi and Taihe sects, which united twenty-six Taoist sects 17,000 years ago, and took more than a hundred years to compile.
The whole book is divided into forty-nine parts, numbered by Dayan, and divided into three thousand volumes, numbered by Three Thousand Dao, and each volume is divided into many volumes, for a total of 84,000 volumes, containing 84,000 hidden teachings. Each volume is divided into main text, true explanation and appendix.
The official scriptures record excerpts from the classics of various schools.The content of the article is profound but difficult to understand. That¡¯s why we have the true solution. The true interpretation is the interpretation and supplement of the canon. The appendix is ??the derived spells, talismans, elixirs, magic weapons and formations.
This book is all-encompassing and fascinating. Unfortunately, during the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth 10,000 years ago, none of the Taoist sects of Tianyi, Taihe, and Twenty-Four were spared, and this Taoist canon was lost. Nowadays, all major sects and imperial courts have collected them, but they are not complete. Among them, the royal secret collection has the largest collection, with a total of more than 6,700 chapters"
Xie Xiaoyu chatted.
Su Mingcheng was completely dumbfounded.
The five people I consulted before just speculated that "Shifang Tao Zang" was profound and might be a supreme classic. They also said that this was just one of the articles, not the main text, but an annotation, and the content in it was fragmented and incomplete. There is no way to practice at all. But no one can tell the origin of this true explanation.
Only now did he know that the "Third Directions Taoist Canon" had such a great origin. It was actually the supreme Taoist classic before the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth. The length of the entire Taoist Canon was even more astonishing, with forty-nine volumes, three thousand volumes, and eighty-four thousand volumes. Two hundred and fifty-two thousand articles. Each one was as enigmatic as the volume in his hand.
Just thinking about it made him faint.
When he was at the banquet just now, he had already seen how terrifying the sect was, but he didn't expect that the level of terror would be even higher.
¡°My little brother¡¯s sect must also have this Taoist collection, right?¡± Su Mingcheng asked with great expectation.
"Yes, but a low-level disciple like me, do you think you are qualified to access such supreme classics?" Xie Xiaoyu asked rhetorically.
Captain Su was choked to the point of being speechless. The more Xie Xiaoyu belittled himself, the more he felt ashamed, and he felt more and more embarrassed about those sects.
"Please let me show you a clear path." Captain Su considered whether he should kneel down.
"Isn't there a road in here?" Xie Xiaoyu pointed toward the scroll.
Captain Su was confused. The five people he consulted all gave him some advice, but they all asked him to give up his cultivation and practice other techniques. No one had ever told him that the answer was hidden in this true interpretation.
?????????????????????? What Xie Xiaoyu was pointing to was a sentence very close to the front, which said, the sword energy is sharp, so it can flow unimpeded, break the sky, cut the earth's axis
Su Mingcheng¡¯s brows were completely furrowed. He didn¡¯t understand what Xie Xiaoyu was referring to?
"You probably think this is nonsense, right? Who doesn't know how sharp sword energy is? As for the following sentences, they must be exaggerations." Xie Xiaoyu asked with a smile, with a clear taste of contempt in his smile, like a well-educated The Confucian scholar looked at an illiterate man.
Su Mingcheng¡¯s face turned red with embarrassment, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. People had already pointed out the key to him, but he still couldn¡¯t figure it out.
Xie Xiaoyu knew that he could not stretch the sail too far, as the heat was already enough. He explained: "In ancient Taoist books, Tianque is often used to refer to the Zifu, and Dishu is used to refer to Rendu Xuanguan. Breaking the Tianque is to open the Zifu and communicate with others. Heaven and Earth, Zhan Di Shu connects the central axis and penetrates the sky. In this way, the first two sentences can be understood. I am afraid it refers to converting the true energy in the body into sword energy. The sword energy is hard and sharp, so it can Unobstructed.¡±
Xie Xiaoyu paused for a moment, unfolded the scroll, then clicked on a few places, and continued: "In the following, we no longer mention 'zhen qi' or 'sword qi', but only use the word 'qi', which obviously refers to both. "Sword Qi, you didn't understand the previous sentence, so according to your own understanding, you took some of the words 'Qi' in it as true Qi, which is totally wrong."
Captain Su's eyes widened. When Xie Xiaoyu explained it like this, he found that this technique had completely changed.
"It's a pity that the official scriptures are missing. If I'm not wrong, the official scriptures must have cultivated a natal sword talisman, and then used the talisman as a seed to be nourished in the Zi Mansion. When fighting with others, it is not to use this sword talisman. Dao's natal sword talisman fights with people, but makes another sword talisman, so there is no need to worry about the natal sword talisman being damaged." Xie Xiaoyu expressed his guess.
What he said at this moment was 70% true and 30% false.
He didn¡¯t explain that sentence randomly, but judging from the context, even if you don¡¯t convert, you should be able to practice and convert it into sword energy, but the effect will be better.
Seeing that Captain Su's expression was changing and he seemed to be hesitant, Xie Xiaoyu reached out and asked, "You must have better sword talismans in your hand, right?"
Captain Su was suddenly awakened. He didn't know what Xie Xiaoyu was going to do, so he woodenly took out a few wedge-shaped flakes that contained five colors and dense spiritual energy from his sleeves.
Xie Xiaoyu¡¯s eyes were a little bright, this was indeed a talisman. It was written by beating Taibai gold essence into foil and using cinnabar and Tianchen gold sand mixed with the blood of spiritual beasts as ink.
Each sword talisman is expensive to make.
"I didn't expect that you are a master of making talismans." Xie Xiaoyu praised. He is also good at making talismans, so he can tell at a glance the quality of these sword talismans.
"This was passed down to me by my master, who also passed it down from the previous generation. When he gave it to me, he once warned me that it must not be used lightly unless it is absolutely necessary. Use one less than one of these things." Su Mingcheng fell. He was also honest and told the origins of these sword talismans.
"Can you lend me one? Once I step into Xuanmen, I can make this kind of talisman, and I will give you ten in return." Xie Xiaoyu didn't want to take advantage of anyone.
"Whatever you say, just take it." Su Mingcheng said nonchalantly, exchanging a sword talisman for an expert friend, this deal is definitely feasible, and he also wanted to see if Xie Xiaoyu wanted to take this sword talisman. What's the use?
"Can I borrow this Taoist book for a few days? I am also a swordsman, and this method of using talismans as swords is also of great use to me." Xie Xiaoyu said frankly.
He is not afraid that Captain Su will not lend it to him. Anyone who hears his explanation just now will be doubtful. If he puts it to the test now, the other party will definitely get what he wants.
"Don't say a few days, a few months will be fine." Captain Su said happily. His reaction was just as Xie Xiaoyu expected: "I won't bother you anymore." After saying that, he cupped his hands and walked out backwards. Stone chamber.
The stone door fell slowly and closed with a bang. Xie Xiaoyu closed the stone door for the first time after building this stone chamber. Normally, he would just put a ban on the entrance of the cave to prevent people from breaking in casually.
Sitting cross-legged on the futon, he felt funny when he thought of Captain Su's frightened and respectful manner when he left.
Another fool was deceived by him.
¡°Half of what he just said was a lie, and the other half was his conjecture.
He determined that "Ten Directions Taoist Canon" was written before the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth. The reason was very simple. There was a thick catalog in the Sutra Pavilion, which listed the names of all Taoist classics after the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth. This "Ten Directions" was not included in it. Fang Daozang".
But judging from this "True Interpretation of Sword and Talisman", "Ten Directions Taoist Canon" is definitely a Taoist canon, and it is an all-encompassing masterpiece.
So it¡¯s probably something from before the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth.
The two sects Tianyi and Taihe were specially chosen by him. They do exist, and they were indeed the top sects before the great catastrophe. However, they were completely destroyed in the Great Tribulation, and all inheritances were cut off. None of the sects that emerged after the Great Tribulation were related to them.
But there was one thing he did not lie to the helmsman.
He really wants to drive this sword talisman into Zifu and turn it into his natal sword talisman.
He has taken this path in the sect. He is absolutely rich in experience and will definitely get twice the result with half the effort in practice.
"The True Interpretation of Sword Talismans" also mentioned that any sword cultivation method can be compatible with it and there will never be any conflict.
But these are all side details, the key point is that he can control the sword talisman now.
The so-called sword talisman is to replace "sword" with "talisman".
The talisman is just a piece of paper, as light as nothing, so of course it is easy to use it. The flying sword is different. No matter how light it is, it is just a piece of metal.
Xie Xiaoyu unfolded the sword talisman very carefully, and smoothed the creases with her fingers.
After unfolding it, I realized that this piece of foil made of Taibai gold was half a foot long and three inches wide. There were three runes written in Yunzhuan on the front, and in the center was a large word "sword", which occupied most of the page. There are two small characters on the top and bottom. The top is "fly" and the bottom is "cut".
These three words are in one go and integrated. It can be seen that the person who made the talisman is extremely skilled and is definitely a master of talismans.
After admiring it for a while, Xie Xiaoyu carefully folded the talisman again.
This talisman was originally folded into the shape of a swallow-tailed dart, somewhat similar to a flying sword, but that was not what he wanted.
He folded the sword talisman again into the shape of a copper coin.
All things in the world are changing with each passing day, and so are the methods of cultivation. When this true interpretation of the sword talisman was written, sword pills and flying rings must not have been popular yet, and the technique of the imperial sword talisman in the true interpretation also seemed old and too grand. It was not as powerful as the current swordsmanship at all.
This is also the reason why he guessed that the "Daozang of the Ten Directions" was written before the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth. Before the Great Tribulation, all sects and sects generally believed that the Tao was more important than the Dharma, so the monks were all highly skilled in Taoism, but not good at fighting. So much so that together with the great catastrophe, large and small sects were wiped out one after another, and countless masters fell one after another. After the great catastrophe, although there was still a dispute between Taoism and law, practicality came first. The swordsmanship of famous and upright schools also contained murderous intent in its majesty, and it was a swordsmanship that killed people.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?With the sword talisman folded and the sword secret in his hand, he slapped it suddenly.
The white light of the sword talisman flashed, and it instantly hit the center of his eyebrows.
The center of the eyebrow is the portal of Zi Mansion. It was originally empty, with only a dense air spreading everywhere like a mist. But at this moment, there was a sword talisman shaped like a copper coin in the mist.
The a little closer to leave the sword symbol was sucked over, and in a blink of an eye, it became clear and transparent, but it was sharp and aggressive.
That is sword energy.
Xie Xiaoyu only felt that her pores were open and her whole body was warm, as if she had drank a cup of century-old brew.
This wonderful and indescribable feeling made him impatiently pull over another ball of dense air.
strands of true energy are transformed into sword energy, and sword energy gathers around the sword talisman, nourishing the sword talisman. The originally dim sword talisman emitted a faint light, and the light was colorful and ever-changing.
He took out a wisp of sword energy and circulated it in his body.
He immediately felt different from before.
In the past, all the Qi was transported, and there would be some stagnation. Now there is no stagnation at all. It is really as mentioned in the true explanation, completely unimpeded.
There is an itchy feeling wherever the sword energy passes, which is a bit more wonderful than the rumored sexual intercourse between men and women.
He couldn't help but mobilize more sword energy to circulate.
The moon rises and the moon sets, and the sun rises and sets.
I don¡¯t know how long it took, but Xie Xiaoyu woke up from this wonderful state, with a trace of intoxication still on his face.
Suddenly, a sharp pain like acupuncture came from all the veins in his limbs, making him wake up suddenly.
It hurts, it hurts so much, the place where I felt more comfortable just now is more painful now, like a pinprick, and it's a red-hot needle.
After thinking for a moment, he immediately understood what was going on.
There is no problem with the technique, the problem is that his meridians are not strong enough.
"If he had practiced this way from the beginning, while the sword energy in his body was accumulating, his meridians would also be strengthening. But now that he had suddenly converted his true energy into sword energy, his meridians would not be able to adapt.
When he thought of the dangerous place just now, he was frightened for a while.
In order to switch to the "Six Rules", his zhenqi was converted once, and most of it was lost. It was only equivalent to the zhenqi of a person at the third level of Qi training, but his meridians could withstand the zhenqi of the eighth level of Qi training. This Only then did he save his life.
The most urgent task is to find a way to strengthen the meridians.
There are many ways. He knows that several exercises have this effect. Unfortunately, distant water cannot save near fire.
If you want to achieve immediate results, you can only start with elixirs.
