Chapter 74 The Taoist's Surprise

The breath in the body slowly circulated, and the meridians in the body were constantly opened up according to the third part of "The Fragments of Ten Thousand Swords". Feeling the slight tingling sensation when the meridians were opened up, Li Chuyi gradually fell into deep thought.

The name of the first part of the exercise is called "Holding the Sword", and the third part is called "Using the Sword". She didn't feel anything when she practiced the "Holding the Sword" before, but as she practiced the third part, she was surprised to find that some of the contents of the first of the ten articles of "The Book of Dao" that she practiced freely were secretly consistent with it.

At first he thought it was his own illusion, but as he continued to practice, he became more and more certain that his feeling was correct. The breath in his body seemed to be omnipotent, and he touched many of the difficulties and bottlenecks specially marked when opening up the meridians in the "Using the Sword" chapter, without any feeling of thresholds and bottlenecks. And some of the states of mind and perceptions mentioned in the "Using the Sword" chapter that need to be coordinated with it, he was able to faintly understand the essence of it.

Li Chuyi was very sure that he had never practiced swordsmanship before. He only used the animal skin sword he got from the Wuyang Tomb as a pathfinder. He usually used the wooden sword to draw talismans to drive away ghosts and make money. He could understand the state of mind and perception that he had gained through years of study, constant practice and application, as if he had been practicing this way.

This kind of thing that can no longer be described as genius made him puzzled.

As the progress of his practice progressed, he finally found the reason. All this was due to the "Taoism Canon", or to be precise, the first chapter of it.

The first chapter of the "Taoism Canon" has a total of five chapters. He only understood a small part of it before, and could practice less than 20% of the content in the first chapter. And it was this 20% of the content that made his practice like a fish in water and progressed rapidly.

After the Taoist taught the "Taoism Canon" to Li Chuyi, he never gave any guidance, but only checked his progress on time. Li Chuyi, who could only study on his own, racked his brains in the face of these ten incomprehensible things. He disassembled and studied the contents word by word, and constantly read the only encyclopedic "Qian Kun Bai Wu" at hand for comparison and verification. He relied on his own understanding and imagination, and practiced to the current level by guessing.

Among his imaginations, there are many bizarre pictures and scenes, such as his rapid rise to fame, his unification of the world, his invincibility, and his finding his lost parents.

What Li Chuyi didn't know was that under the influence of the scriptures in the "Dao Dian", his thoughts were transformed into meditations that only monks would practice when they practiced their minds to comprehend the Dao. Unlike monks who usually practiced one Dao, his meditations were extremely complicated and frequent.

When ordinary monks meditate, in order to prevent the invasion of the inner demons and make themselves go astray, the monks will abandon distracting thoughts when meditating, put all their minds on their own Dao, and concentrate on comprehending. After the perception is over, they will spend a long time digesting and grinding their meditation results before they can meditate again. And meditation like Li Chuyi is actually a dreamlike meditation. Other cultivators dare not even think about it, let alone hear about it. Because this is not the cultivation of the state of mind, this is pure death.

I don’t know whether the Taoist knew the result intentionally or didn’t know it at all. Anyway, the Taoist never mentioned it, let alone cared about Li Chuyi. And Li Chuyi succeeded so strangely, and he has been meditating in a confused way for so many years, so that he now has a very effective state of mind, which he himself doesn’t even know.

And he who had mistakenly entered the dark land before, with thousands of holes all over his body and wanted to die, actually survived. In addition to his strong desire to survive and a stable heart of Taoism, there is also the credit of his excellent state of mind. You know, in order to understand the "Taoism Canon", Li Chuyi had imagined his own death more than once, either vigorous or silent, among all kinds of **, thousands of holes are just one of them.

Today, these unintentional gains were manifested for the first time. Although Li Chuyi had not practiced some of the state of mind mentioned in the sword movement chapter, he had thought about it, and it was imprinted in his soul by the "Taoism Canon".

Li Chuyi, who had some guesses, could only sigh at the magic of the "Taoism Canon". He couldn't help but think of what the Taoist said to him when they parted. At that time, the Taoist told him to practice the "Taoism Canon" well, because these magical scriptures would bring him unexpected surprises.

With the connection of the last part of the meridians, a slightly more complicated circulation appeared in his body based on the previous meridian circulation, and the breath with a wisp of black line began to circulate slowly along this new circulation. As the meridians continued to circulate, Li Chuyi felt that for the first time he could truly control the breath in his body, instead of using it randomly like a blind man touching an elephant as before, and his magic power began to become organized.

Although Li Chuyi was very sorry that he could not fly, he was still very happy to have mastered a new skill. Just like getting a new toy, Li Chuyi couldn't help but want to try it out.

Putting the book back on the bookshelf, Li Chuyi came to the yard. Taking out the animal skin long sword from the storage bag, recalling the sword technique that matched it before, Li Chuyi began to dance.

Silently running the "Ten Thousand Swords Art Fragments", he activated his mana as shown in the sword manual. Feeling that his momentum had reached its peak, Li Chuyi immediately opened his eyes, waved his hand and threw it out, and began to perform the first move of the sword.

As the first move was performed, the long sword instantly turned into a cold light, and flew into the sky with a "whoosh", and fell to the ground with a "clang" half a day later. The shining sword reflected the stunned Li Chuyi.

"No way?!" Li Chuyi was stunned. He thought of various results, but he never expected that the sword would slip out of his hand as soon as it was used, and it was directly cut into a "flying sword" in another sense.

Looking around and seeing that no one saw it, Li Chuyi blushed and ran over to pick up the long sword.

"Well, it should be my hand slipped. Yes, my hand slipped. How could I, a big man, not even catch the sword?"

Thinking so in his heart, Li Chuyi re-positioned his posture, used his power to raise his breath, and then threw it out.

Whoosh~~~

Clang~~~~

The result was the same, as if it was replayed.

Li Chuyi picked up the long sword with gritted teeth, and he did not believe in evil, and he took up his stance again and danced.

As a result, the tranquility of the courtyard was broken by bursts of iron-making sounds. The long sword turned into a flying sword, flying out at various strange angles, either shooting straight or circling, with bursts of landing sounds, and once it almost stabbed the door of the main house where Ye Zhichen was meditating.

Holding the long sword, Li Chuyi sat on the ground, puzzled. Logically speaking, he had cultivated the mental method, so the sword method should not be a problem. You know, even the long sword that was described in the sword movement chapter to stimulate a thin layer of sword energy, he could do it. But why, why did the long sword fly out of his hand without obeying as soon as he danced according to the sword method?

"Don't you understand?"

A familiar magnetic voice sounded behind him, and looking back, it was Ye Zhichen.

Ye Zhichen stood there, looking at him indifferently, while Xue Qing beside him looked at him with some surprise and amusement, covering her face with her bare hands and laughing.

Li Chuyi's chubby face turned red, and he quickly stood up.

"Ahem, I was a little distracted just now, thinking about other things, so I lost my grip, it was a mistake, purely a mistake."

"Oh?" Ye Zhichen raised his eyebrows and nodded, "Then, let me see if you can use it again."

"Ah? Come again? Or another day?" Li Chuyi was naturally unwilling.

Hearing this, Ye Zhichen nodded indifferently and said, "Oh, you are afraid. That's it."

"Who is afraid? Who is afraid? I have even played with the void for a while, so why am I afraid to practice sword for you?" Li Chuyi was unwilling at once.

"Then practice for me to see." Ye Zhichen said indifferently.

"Practice if you want!"

After saying that, he glanced at Xue Qing who was still laughing, and Li Chuyi, who felt that he must not lose face, walked back to the courtyard with the long sword in his hand. After standing still, Li Chuyi looked at the two people who were looking at him, and then he hesitated for a moment, and took a few steps back. He was afraid that he would hurt them if he made another mistake. This made Xue Qing laugh like a silver bell, and Li Chuyi's face turned red. He didn't dare to look at them.

After feeling far enough away, Li Chuyi stood still again. He stabilized his mind, meditated on the most basic sword-holding chapter over there, and then he used his energy to raise his breath, shook the long sword, and began to dance.
