Cultivating Immortality, Starts with Green Plum

Chapter 261 Grass Character Technique (4000 words, two in one)

Xu Ming came to Wanhua Valley again.

But this time, Xu Ming came to Wanhua Valley not to visit, but to stay.

When Xu Ming walked into Wanhua Valley, Qin Qingwan was already waiting for Xu Ming in the Valley.

It seems that Qin Qingwan had already known that Xu Ming was going to live in Wanhua Valley.

"You can live here for the next few days." Wang Xuan brought Xu Ming to a newly built wooden house.

There is a table and a quilt inside.

It seems that Wang Xuan did not let Xu Ming live in Wanhua Valley because Xia Donghua came to find Xu Ming, but Wang Xuan had such a plan in the first place.

Otherwise, this wooden house would not have been built in advance, and household items would not have been placed inside.

"Excuse me, Senior." Xu Ming bowed, but he still felt something was wrong. "Senior, how about I live outside the Wanhua Valley?"

There are only two women in Wanhua Valley, Qingwan and Wangxuan. Now that there is a man like me, I am afraid it will be bad for their reputation.

If I live outside Wanhua Valley, Xia He won't dare to do anything wrong to me, and it can also avoid inconvenience for both parties.

"Outside of the Wanhua Valley, there are many disciples coming and going. If you live there, you will attract criticism. You might even be called a pervert.

You can just live in the valley.

Not to mention that no other disciples will come to Wanhua Valley, and few people will know about it in the next few days.

And even if someone knew, what would happen?

In the Tianxuan Sect, few people dare to say bad things about me."

Wang Xuan spoke calmly, his tone revealing dominance.

"Sorry to bother you then."

Since Elder Wang Xuan has said so, it would seem a bit hypocritical if I refuse.

"Let's go, Qingwan."

Wang Xuan nodded, said no more, turned around and walked out of the wooden house.

"My master and I have some things to deal with, so I'll just treat this place as my own home."

Qin Qingwan looked at Xu Ming reluctantly and seemed to want to stay with Xu Ming, but she had no choice but to follow her master.

Xu Ming guessed that Wang Xuan should have taken Qing Wan to practice.

Xu Ming put away his luggage and sat in the wooden house for a while.

Xu Ming wanted to reduce going out as much as possible to avoid inconvenience.

But Xu Ming thought again, he was not a rude person, so why should he feel so guilty?

No one else noticed anything, but I made it seem like I had other intentions.

Xu Ming also walked out of the wooden house, intending to take a good look at the Wanhua Valley and see where Qingwan had lived for all these years.

I have to say that Wanhua Valley is very large. Although it is surrounded by mountains on all sides, it does not give people a claustrophobic feeling.

The sea of ​​flowers is endless and seems to be isolated from the world.

Xu Ming walked around everywhere, and his mood became more and more peaceful. As he walked, Xu Ming even inexplicably entered a state of enlightenment.

Xu Ming suddenly had an idea in his mind. He wanted to practice sword.

Xu Ming drew out the Jiuxiao Yunlei Sword and danced with the sword at will.

It's amazing to say that Xu Ming is a sword cultivator, but he has never received any systematic sword training from beginning to end, and has not even learned complete sword techniques.

The only thing Xu Ming had was the Bingyang Sword Technique from the Wanjian Sect, but although the Bingyang Sword Technique was called a sword technique, it was actually a sword formula.

Then Xu Ming imitated Beihai's Qinghai sword moves.

Then there is the sword that Xu Cang taught Xu Ming.

"The sword follows the heart, and the mind moves as it wishes."

When Xu Ming put away his sword, a female voice that was so calm and natural that it blended into the nature was heard from the other side.

Xu Ming turned around and saw Wang Xuan standing not far away.

"Senior." Xu Ming held the sword and bowed.

"Your swordsmanship is very strange, scattered and pieced together, without any system. Who is your master? Why did he teach you like this?" Wang Xuan asked.

Xu Ming smiled and said, "Strictly speaking, I don't have a master. I learned everything by myself. The old man did teach me a sword move."

"No wonder."

Wang Xuan nodded, then stretched out his white and tender palm towards Xu Ming.

Xu Ming was stunned for a moment, then he realized that Wang Xuan wanted the sword in his hand.

Xu Ming stepped forward and placed the Jiuxiao Yunlei Sword in Wangxuan’s hand.

"Although I am a Taoist practitioner, I also know a little about swordsmanship. If you are willing to listen, I will explain it to you and you can use it as a reference." Wang Xuan asked Xu Ming for his opinion.

Xu Ming bowed and said, "Thank you, senior. I am willing to listen attentively."

"it is good."

Wang Xuan simply responded and waved his sleeves across the sword.

"The so-called sword art is nothing more than the three aspects of sword moves, sword energy, and sword intent.

Proficient sword moves can form sword energy, and strong sword energy can form sword intent.

Most people think that sword intent is the highest level of kendo.

These people think that sword intent is the most essential existence of kendo.

Most of these people just regard sword moves and sword energy as the stepping stones to sword intent, ignore them, and only focus on sword intent.

I can't say it's wrong.

But in my opinion, it is not entirely true.

Sword moves, sword energy, and sword intent are all at the same level.

There is no distinction between the three.

In the past, Wang Xiaoyu defeated three thousand golden men with his sword moves.

Jiang Luoyu suppressed the Demon Prison with sword energy for three hundred years.

Xu Cang fought against the four saints and five sect leaders with sword intent.

These people have all reached the pinnacle in the three levels of Kendo. They are unprecedented and unrivaled.

But Wang Xiaoyu's sword energy was weak and his sword intent was fragmented.

Jiang Luoyu’s sword intent is okay, but his sword moves are average.

Xu Cang’s swordsmanship was excellent enough, but he and Wang Xiaoyu exchanged thousands of sword moves but were neither of them stronger.

So is the sword intention really supreme?

Even old guy Xu Cang doesn’t dare to say that.”

Xu Ming listened carefully and asked a question he had thought of before:
"Then may I ask, Senior, when I was in the Three Stone Peaks, Xu Cang told me that I did not receive the complete sword path, which was a pity. If I start the sword path from scratch now, will it be in time?"

"It's too late."

Wang Xuan shook his head.

"I know what you're thinking about.

Indeed, every sword sect member has his own way, which is called the sword path. They have been honing their sword moves, sword energy, sword techniques and so on since childhood. Compared with ordinary people, their sword paths are much more complete.

Going up the sword path is the way of kendo.

But this is based on the premise that you have just started to enter the path of kendo.

And now, no matter what, you have already embarked on your own path and there is no turning back.

You have actually already embarked on the path of swordsmanship, but your path belongs only to you and is completely different from that of others.

All you can do is keep going.

Until one day, you feel that the path you are taking is feasible and you no longer question yourself. In the most objective sense, when the sword path you are taking can reach the avenue, then it can be called the sword path.

Do you understand what I said?"

Xu Ming thought about it seriously, then shook his head: "I only have a vague understanding."

Wang Xuan: "You should have only half understood it. If you could fully understand it, you wouldn't ask me this question, and I wouldn't tell you all this.

Anyway, in my opinion.

Your sword energy is sharp, and your sword intent has been strengthened by Xu Cang's sword, which is enough for now.

But your sword moves are not complete, this is your weak point.

I have a sword move that I learned from a cave in the northern wilderness. This sword technique has no name, so I gave it a name, called "Cao Zi Jue".

I feel that this Grass Character Technique is quite good, so I will teach it to you now.

I can only teach you once, so please watch carefully.

If you can’t learn it this time, it means that you are not meant to learn this Grass Skill.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xuan waved the sword in his hand.

Tao patterns appeared in Xu Ming's eyes.

Although Xu Ming is quite confident in his talent in kendo.

However, to be on the safe side, it is better to open the Dao Wen Eye. After all, you only have one chance.

Wang Xuan, wearing a white dress, danced with a sword, the sharpness of the sword moves blending together with the feminine beauty.

Every stab and every swing of Wang Xuan was just right. Her posture was both strong and soft, and the petals floating in the air looked more like a painting.

Xu Ming now understood why some emperors liked to watch beautiful women dancing with swords so much.

The fierceness of the sword and the gentleness of the woman are set off perfectly.

Every move of the "Cao Zi Jue" was reflected in Xu Ming's eyes.

Gradually, Xu Ming went from watching Wang Xuan dancing with the sword to a state where there was only the sword in Xu Ming's eyes, and no Wang Xuan.

Xu Ming was mesmerized.

Xu Ming has seen quite a few sword techniques.

But I have never seen such a unique sword technique before!
The sword skills wielded by Wang Xuan were extremely tenacious, as if even if the heaven and earth were in chaos, a blade of grass could break it apart.

It seems that everything can be used as a sword.

All the sword moves seemed to have returned to nothingness.

What was even more strange was that Xu Ming felt that he could clearly feel the sword energy, but when he tried to feel it carefully, the sword energy seemed to disappear without a trace.

Wang Xuan put away his sword and let out a breath.

Xu Ming's eyes returned to normal.

Wang Xuan asked, "Do you understand?"

Xu Ming: "I think you understand now."

Under the veil, Wang Xuan's lips curled up, and she looked so beautiful that she was not human. Unfortunately, Xu Ming couldn't see it: "Then how much do you remember?"

Xu Ming thought about it carefully, but was surprised to find that he could not remember anything about the sword moves just now.
"I don't remember any of the sword moves you used just now," said Xu Ming.

"Good." Wang Xuan threw the long sword to Xu Ming, "Dance with the sword as you like, show me."

Xu Ming held the long sword in his hand and really couldn't remember the sword moves he had just made.

But since Wang Xuan said so, Xu Ming just did as he was told.

But when Xu Ming danced out the first sword at will, a strong sense of familiarity swept through Xu Ming's heart.

Then, Xu Ming swung out the second sword, the third sword, and the fourth sword.
Xu Ming knew that he was reproducing the "Cao Character Technique" from before!
Xu Ming held the Jiuxiao Yunlei Sword and waved it in front of Yu Wangxuan.

Watching the long sword in Xu Ming's hand changing in various ways, the sword intent and sword energy dissolving into the soil, Wang Xuan's eyes flashed with surprise.

No wonder he was able to learn the sword technique that Xu Cang taught him.

He is truly a genius.
One stick of incense later, when Xu Ming was about to use the complete Grass Character Technique, he felt something in his heart and his sword kept shaking.

Xu Ming swung out with a sword.

An invisible sword energy broke through the magic circle and split a distant mountain into two halves.

Before Xu Ming could be surprised at his previous sword strike, Wang Xuan took a branch, turned it into a sword, and swung it towards Xu Ming.

Several invisible swords stabbed at Xu Ming.

Xu Ming's mind moved slightly, and the long sword in his hand kept waving. Xu Ming did not use any sword energy or sword intent, just the ordinary Cao Zi Jue sword moves.

Some of the invisible swords were broken by Xu Ming, some were picked up by Xu Ming, and some were even lightly touched by Xu Ming, and the invisible swords stabbed towards Wang Xuan.

Three breaths later, the flowers and plants around Xu Ming shattered to the ground, and petals flew all over the sky. Without using any spiritual power, Xu Ming resolved the opponent's moves one by one.

Xu Ming looked at the sword in his hand in surprise.

Even Xu Ming didn't react to what he had done.

This feeling is really weird but good.
"This is a sword move."

Seeing Xu Ming's puzzled expression, Wang Xuan explained to Xu Ming.

“The most important point of the Grass Art is to become natural.

How to become natural?

It is to forget yourself.

Forgot the sword moves.

If you look at it and forget it, then you will know it.

Now, your sword-fighting skills include the Bingyang Sword Technique. Although the Bingyang Sword Technique is called a sword technique, it is only a mental method, because the sword moves of the Bingyang Sword Technique have been lost.

This sword technique is quite good and is the foundation. All disciples of the Wanjian Sect above the inner sect level must learn it.

You can use this sword technique.

Your sword moves include the grass technique.

Your sword intent is the one that Xu Cang taught you.

From now on, this is your way of swordsmanship.

How to perfect it, how to integrate all of this, how to discard and absorb, how to move forward, that is your own business, I can't teach you too much."

Xu Ming bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for your teachings, Senior."

"It's not me who bestows the Dharma, this is your opportunity."

Wang Xuan turned and left.

"Everything in the world has cause and effect. There are as many effects as there are causes. No one owes anyone anything.

Qingwan won't see you these days.

It's not that I asked Qingwan not to see you, but she wanted to go into seclusion."

As Wang Xuan's voice faded away, her figure disappeared from Xu Ming's sight.

And this was also the last time Xu Ming saw Wang Xuan in these two days.

After that, Xu Ming's three meals a day were delivered to him by Xiaohua Xiaocao.

Xu Ming didn't look at Qingwan again during these two days.

Two days later, Xu Ming was meditating in the sea of ​​flowers. A spiritual flower ran towards him, and then patted Xu Ming's knees with its tender leaves:
"Xu Ming, Xu Ming, wake up, wake up.
The Zixia Ceremony is about to begin! You should hurry up and join in.”

[I have revised this chapter again and again, but it still feels a bit bland, but I feel like I have to write it.

To be honest, I feel the pace is a bit slow.

I originally planned to finish it with around 2 million words, but now it's already 600,000 words, and a lot of it has not been written yet. There are still various plots to come.
I feel like I don't have a good grasp of the rhythm, I need to speed it up, but I'm afraid it will break down if it's too fast.
After thinking for a long time, I decided to start on September 9nd! I want to do 2 yuan a day for a month! If I don’t do it, my hemorrhoids will relapse! 】
