Chapter 3 Craftsmen and Masters
Meng Chuan carefully reads biography stories. Some of them are biography written by a large family for a certain ancestor, and promote their ancestors! Some are biographies that are really famous and spontaneously written by the people. Even some of the most famous gods and demons have dozens of versions of biography stories. There are also biography written by the sects for gods and demons. The most exaggerated ones are written by gods and demons themselves, hoping that the younger generation will remember his deeds.
"These biographical stories are mainly about telling stories and are useful to me in my practice. Sometimes I only have a few sentences in one book. Even a biographical story doesn't find any usefulness."
"And, some of these stories are highly credible, some are less credible. They also need to be classified."
After all, Meng Chuan is a child of the God and Demon family. After being taught by the Jinghu Taoist System, he has a solid foundation and has achieved great success in his top sword techniques. He is only one step away from the "unity of unity".
Have such a foundation...
It is better to distinguish which ones are useful from the biographical stories.
"If you practice swords without any care, you are just a slave of the sword. If you practice swords with your heart, you will become the master of the sword." Meng Chuan saw a sentence that the Northern Sword Emperor had pointed out to his younger generation in the biography story.
Meng Chuan stared at this sentence and thought: "The Emperor of the Northland Sword, the junior who was directed by the Emperor of the Leakage Realm, was also a powerful person in the Leakage Realm. That junior had at least reached the level of unity at that time. It should be considered to be attentive to practice normally. But the Emperor of the Northland Sword also said this... Obviously, in his opinion, the sword skills of the Leakage Realm Stronger is still not attentive to practice enough."
...
Meng Chuan continued to look at the biography of gods and demons.
Occasionally, the words or even deeds left by a god and demon will arouse some speculations from Meng Chuan.
To ordinary people, it is just a story.
In the eyes of those who are interested, you can see some reasons why the gods and demons are powerful.
"One move will be fresh and you can eat all over the world. Just killing enemies is just one move, as long as you practice the strongest move, it is enough. What's the use of practicing those messy things?" This is a biography story, a conversation between a powerful god and demon "Demon Sword" Wei Feng and his disciple three thousand years ago. A total of fifteen versions of the biography story about the magic sword Wei Feng were found on the Dongning Mansion market.
There are all similar words: "One move is fresh, you can eat everything, killing enemies with just one move, and just practice the strongest move is enough."
Meng Chuan also recorded it.
In addition to biographical stories, Meng Chuan also attaches great importance to the family motto of some famous gods and demons.
Family precepts are left to the younger generations by gods and demons, and are generally considered extremely important by gods and demons.
The more records were recorded, Meng Chuan was also secretly shocked.
"Learn from the top, you can only get it; learning it is the best, and the strongest gods and demons in history. This is true! But biography stories are all just a little bit. If you don't have a deep enough foundation, you will easily go wrong." Meng Chuan understood this because he saw the family mottos of many families, and attached great importance to the basics of cultivation.
Everyone clearly ordered that family disciples must enter the Taoist temple and carry out complete systematic practice.
Because the Taoist temple... is the oldest sect in the world, "Yuanchu Mountain", established in every big city of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The teaching system of the Taoist temple was formulated by Yuanchu Mountain. Only by practicing in the Taoist temple can one have a solid foundation.
Of course, it is just the basis of teaching. Meng Chuan's sword technique is only one step away from the first level. After seven years of cultivation in the Taoist temple, he taught him everything he should teach. What he needs is to explore by himself.
"My foundation is enough, and what I need now is the last step of breakthrough."
"A lot of the records I have recorded this day have inspired me."
"But, there is no hurry. I will read all these books briefly and then organize them. Only when some of the principles of practice, at least three gods and demons have said it, can it be more trustworthy."
...
Day after day.
The more Meng Chuan collects, the more integrated it is. Combined with some of the "iron laws of practice" in Jinghu Taoist Temple, those are some of the practice rules set by Yuanchu Mountain.
The combination of the two allows Meng Chuan to understand more.
"alright."
In the evening, Meng Chuan looked at his notes in front of him and smiled.
"These five days are more important than the five years of my practice." Meng Chuan looked at the notes in front of him excitedly. He had a clearer understanding of practice.
The first point of practice is that the foundation is extremely important, just like the foundation of a house. Entering the Taoist temple to practice complete is the best choice.
Second, the number of times is very important. No matter how many dreams you have, you can't compare to practicing ten thousand times! Draw your sword ten thousand times a day, and practice "Blood Shadow Thorn" ten thousand times a day. Similar words have been said by all twelve gods and demons.
The third one is to eat everything with one move! It has similarities with the second one. Killing an enemy is just one move, and one move is to the extreme. It is useful for practicing ten more powerful killer moves.
Article 4: Cultivation is indeed hard. If you endure the hardships and grit your teeth to practice, you will be just a craftsman! Only by truly enjoying it, obsessing it with it, and carefully thinking about the secrets of each move can you become a master.
Meng Chuan also understood the true meaning of the Northern Sword Emperor's sentence "If you practice swords without any care, you are just a slave of the sword. If you practice swords with your heart, you will become the master of the sword." Ordinary practitioners seem to practice hard and earnestly, but this is not really a heart. You are really interested in swordsmanship... You are really enjoying swordsmanship, obsessed with swordsmanship, throwing away all external objects, and completely obsessed with it. Only by being so crazy can you achieve great achievements and become a master. Otherwise, you are just a craftsman.
Article 5: The day goes on, the month changes, and finally the result is...
Article 6…
...
There are nine items in total.
All of them have been mentioned by at least three gods and demons, and with Meng Chuan's insight, they also think it is very reasonable.
"I practice knife for several hours every day. I am exhausted all over. No matter how tired I am, I grit my teeth and hold on. I used to think that I was very serious, but obviously I was not 'attentive' enough. I should enjoy sword techniques, indulge in sword techniques, and think carefully about every move." Meng Chuan felt that this was the biggest problem for me. Practicing was a very tiring thing.
Usually he paints for an hour in the afternoon. This is his only luxurious pleasure and a hobby he has raised in childhood. In painting, the fatigue of cultivation will be forgotten and the mind will be extremely calm.
In this way, he persisted year by year.
Now it seems that the mentality is wrong.
"I used to be like this, and I seemed to be hardworking, but I was a craftsman after all." Meng Chuan couldn't help it, put down the notes he recorded and went straight out of the study and went to the yard.
I began to practice the top knife technique "Leaf Desert Knife" in the yard.
Different from the past.
This time, only the first "Sword Drawing" of the leaf blade knife, Meng Chuan threw everything away, and his heart was completely used on the sword technique, as if there was only the sword in his hand in the world! Then, the sword was released! Feeling the silent moment when the sword was unsheathed, and feeling the feeling of the knife cutting the "wind". The sword technique was still the same set of sword techniques, but the mentality changed, and the "what you saw" changed.
I chose the fast knife since I was a child because Meng Chuan really liked it from the bottom of my heart. But after practicing day after day, he became tired, and his passionate love was eroded. Today, when his mentality changed and he felt the sword technique wholeheartedly again.
That love is awakening.
The knife was unsheathed silently.
The trajectory of the knife is like the traces of painting, so beautiful. He tried hard to make this trajectory more beautiful and break the "wind" faster! The truly powerful sword technique is beautiful, and Meng Chuan's sword technique is also approaching this level.
Meng Chuan tried the same move over and over again, trying to use the knife faster and silently, and cutting the "wind" faster and faster.
I performed it fifty times in a row before I could enjoy it.
"It's time to practice like this!" Meng Chuan was excited and followed him to perform the second 'Rotation Moon Stage'.
...
On the second day after Meng Chuan integrated his practice notes, he was in an underground hall of the Yun family.
“Huhuhu~~~”
In the center of the hall, purple flames rose.
A black-haired old man sat cross-legged in the flames without any injuries.
"Dad, are you looking for me?" Yun Fuan walked into the hall respectfully, but did not dare to get close. He felt a wave of heat coming from a distance and the air was twisting.
"Fu An." The old man with black hair opened his eyes and looked calm. "I just got the news that the old woman from the Meng family was severely injured when she resisted the demon clan at An Customs. She is afraid she won't live long and should have returned to Dongning in the past few days."
Yun Fuan was shocked: "Dad, are you talking about the fairy girl Meng?"
"It's her."
The old black-haired man nodded slightly.
"Will you make a mistake?" Yun Fu'an couldn't believe it, "It's not that Meng Xian Gu is the best at exploring. She can't hide all the movements of the ten miles away. She doesn't need to rush to the front, so why would she be seriously injured suddenly?"
"It's not wrong." The old man with black hair said coldly, "One King An Hai hired several skilled doctors for her. The old woman was too seriously injured and had no way to make things happen. It's no secret that she is at An Customs! If she stops fighting and is careful to survive, she will last for seven or eight years at most. If she fights desperately, she may live shorter."
"It will only last seven or eight years at most?" Yun Fu'an couldn't help but say, "Without the Fairy Meng, will the Meng family be over?"
"The five gods and demon families in Dongning Mansion will soon become four gods and demon families." The black-haired old man nodded and said.
A family flourishes because of gods and demons.
Similarly, without the gods and demons, the family will become ordinary.
"They're not qualified to occupy so many places in Dongning and so many benefits." The old man with black hair said coldly, "By the way, the engagement between Qingping and the Meng family named Meng Chuan, you can also go to the Meng family and ask them to hand over the marriage letter and fight them on the spot! The Meng family now... is not worthy of marrying us."
"Yes." Yun Fuan said respectfully.
"But before the old woman died, there was no need to do it too ugly." The black-haired old man closed his eyes after saying that.
Yun Fu'an quietly retreated.
...
"What? Resolute the engagement?" Yun Qingping looked at her father in shock.
Didn't you refuse to agree? Why did you suddenly change your words?
"Dad just told you." Yun Fuan smiled, "I will go to the Meng family today to help you terminate the engagement."
"Will the Meng family hand over the marriage letter obediently?" Yun Qingping couldn't help but say.
"They will hand it over." Yun Fu'an said confidently. His father got the news from his friends. The Meng family must have known about his ancestors for a long time. These big families are self-aware, and resisting stubbornly means being humiliated.
Yun Qingping said repeatedly: "Dad, I want to terminate the engagement, but I don't want to break up, which ruined the friendship between the two families. Otherwise, please come over and discuss..."
