It took a whole day until the sun set.

Chen Yuancai finally finished reading the "Hunyuan Sword Classic".

After reading this Sword Classic, Chen Yuan discovered that although this "Hunyuan Sword Classic" was about swordsmanship practiced by ordinary mortal swordsmen.

But it discusses in detail the principles of swordsmanship.

It includes jumping steps, eye training, hand training, body training, Jiugong Thirty-Six Postures and other processes.

In Chen Yuan's view, practicing the "Hunyuan Sword Classic" is actually divided into two steps:

Train yourself and your enemies.

Training oneself is the previous four processes.

Jump steps, train your eyes, train your hands, train your body...

To put it bluntly, it is all to train yourself, improve your dodge, eyesight, arm strength and physical fitness, so as to gain a greater advantage in fighting with the enemy.

Against the enemy, it is the Nine Palaces and Thirty-Six Forms at the back.

With the previous training process and the subsequent moves to defeat the enemy, as long as you practice carefully, you can basically defeat a strong enemy who is not too far behind.

"I can completely skip the process of training myself. I have already reached the threshold of elixir. Whether it is reflexes, eyesight, arm strength, or physical fitness, I have reached the limits of ordinary people, and even surpassed ordinary people. I only need to practice

Later, the Nine Palaces and Thirty-six moves will be enough."

After Chen Yuan read it, he thought about it for a long time.

Chen Yuan then prepared to practice the Nine Palaces and Thirty-Six Postures in the backyard according to the illustrations recorded in the "Hunyuan Sword Classic".

But then he discovered that he had no sword. He lacked a long sword to practice swordsmanship.

Except for the family dagger he carried in his arms, he had no other swords on him.

But although that small sword can be used for self-defense, it cannot be used for sword practice.

So Chen Yuan went to Changkongzi and asked if there was any place selling weapons nearby. If there weren't any, he could only go to Lujiang City, ten miles away, and buy it there.

Who knows, after Changkongzi heard that Chen Yuan needed a sword to practice swordsmanship, Changkongzi immediately said:

"Why spend that money? Taoist friends need to practice swordsmanship. I happen to have an iron sword in my room. It is an old Taoist sword that I brought with me for self-defense when I traveled around the world in the early years. The sword is a bit old. I hope you, Taoist friends, will not

Dislike it."

While talking, Chang Kongzi turned around and returned to his room.

The entire Luxian Temple is the layout of the front hall and the backyard.

In addition to the backyard where Chen Yuan lived, Chang Kongzi's room was in an inconspicuous small room on the left side of the main hall of Lu Xian Temple.

On the right is a kitchen that is also separated.

Without letting Chen Yuan wait for too long, Chang Kongzi took out a long sword from the room and walked up to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan took a look at the appearance of the long sword and couldn't help but complain:

"How old is this? I don't know how many years have passed, it can be called an antique."

I saw that the long sword that Chang Kongzi took out was a thin sword that was more than two feet long and three fingers wide with the scabbard.

When Chang Kongzi pulled out the long sword blade from the scabbard, which was coated with pulp and was dark in color, and it was unclear whether it was made of iron or wood, he saw that the entire long sword body was completely rusted.

Dark yellow.

From a distance, it looks more like a rusty iron bar than a sword.

Even the rusty dagger in Chen Yuan's arms is far from comparable.

"I'm sorry, fellow Taoist, I kept this long sword under the bed. I haven't used it for many years. I didn't expect it to be rusty to this extent. How about I help you go to Lujiang City to buy a new one?

Sword!"

Chang Kongzi's face turned red and he looked a little ashamed.

"There are blacksmith shops around Lu Xian Temple, but they can only do some work such as repairing farm tools, but they cannot make weapons."

Then Chang Kongzi added.

"No, just use this sword. Anyway, I'm just practicing swordsmanship. The new sword and the old sword have the same effect."

Chen Yuan doesn’t care.

Then he took the rusty sword from Chang Kongzi, walked to the middle of the backyard, and started practicing with the sword.

At the beginning, Chen Yuan, who had never practiced swordsmanship before, practiced the Nine Palaces and Thirty-Six Styles. As he practiced, he froze in place.

He forgot to recruit.

This is a common problem among novice swordsmen.

It was caused by the unfamiliarity with sword moves.

At first, he still needed to think of sword moves on the spot before he could continue to swing the sword in his hand.

However, with continuous practice, Chen Yuan's sword moves in the backyard began to become fluent.

Although the long sword in his hand was a rusty sword covered with rust, it was actually left behind by Chen Yuan's swing.

"Maybe this is the understanding of immortal disciples?"

Seeing Chen Yuan practicing with a rusty sword, and his sword skills were improving visibly with the naked eye, Chang Kongzi watched for a while, and after being amazed, he went about his own business.

Chen Yuan was left alone, practicing his sword in the backyard.

This practice lasted until late at night, when the moon and rabbit rose in the east.

Chen Yuan then discovered that at some point in the courtyard, there was a young scholar holding a peony folding fan, standing nearby, watching him practice swordplay with interest.

The other party never made a sound to disturb me, and he didn’t know how long he stood there.

"Master."

Chen Yuan then sheathed his sword and saluted Lu Yan who suddenly appeared.

"Are you practicing swordsmanship?"

Lu Yan asked.

"Yes, it's swordsmanship."

Chen Yuan nodded.

"Where did you find it?"

Lu Yan’s Wonderful Way.

"Master, today, the daughter of the prefect, Qin Jiangyue, came to my door. She insisted on repaying me for saving my life three years ago. Before leaving, she gave my disciple a copy of the "Hunyuan Sword Sutra". I felt that this

"The Hunyuan Sword Classic" had some effect on my disciple, so I started practicing it."

Chen Yuan explained.

"Qin Jiangyue, it's that girl."

After hearing what Chen Yuan said, Lu Yan thought for a moment and then remembered who the other party was.

"Although this "Hunyuan Sword Classic" is a mortal martial arts, it is somewhat interesting."

Lu Yan recalled what happened when Chen Yuan was practicing his sword just now.

"Do you have the original copy of the "Hunyuan Sword Sutra" with you?"

Lu Yan asked.

"Yes, Master."

Chen Yuan nodded, took out the "Hunyuan Sword Sutra" from his arms, and handed it to his master Lu Yan.

Lu Yan took it, read it roughly, and then looked at Chen Yuan: "Do you have paper and pen in the room? I will help you revise this "Hunyuan Sword Classic"."

When Chen Yuan heard this, he suddenly felt happy.

This is the "Hunyuan Sword Classic" which is a martial arts book for mortals. After Master Lu Yan changed it, wouldn't it turn into a real method of practicing swordsmanship?

Chen Yuan quickly said: "Yes, Master, please wait a moment."

Then he immediately ran to the front hall, looked for a long space, and asked for pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and placed them on the small table under the eaves.

Lu Yan sat under the eaves and stated to Chen Yuan before writing:

"I'm not teaching you any skills. I just saw that the "Hunyuan Sword Sutra" you practiced is too ordinary. If you take it out, it will ruin your reputation as a teacher. So I took action and put this "Hunyuan Sword Sutra"

"Give it a try."

Chen Yuan kept nodding: "Yes, yes, Master is right."

After explaining the reasons clearly, Lu Yan began to write.

I saw that Lu Yan made some modifications and annotations on the original "Hunyuan Sword Classic".

I also wrote three brand new scriptures, these three scriptures are:
Chapter completed!
