Second update!

Seeing that Zhen Yuandao did not inquire in detail, Zhang Tong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then, while observing how Zhen Yuandao manipulated the flying sword, he carefully figured out the essence of swordsmanship, especially Zhen Yuandao's urging of the sword skills and the use of Lei Yin's sword skills.

Come out, many of its wonderful points are worth learning from.

Until the evening, Zhen Yuandao handed the flying sword to Zhang Tong again. This time Zhang Tong was not polite. He immediately raised the flying sword with a quick movement of his hands and feet, and then raised the flying sword without Zhen Yuandao's instructions.

The light was aimed at the Wanzai Stone Marrow, flew past it, and spun rapidly.

However, Zhang Tong still had an extra thought and deliberately suppressed the speed and power of the sword light in front of Zhen Yuandao, keeping it inferior to Zhen Yuandao's sword light.

But Zhang Tong didn't expect that he would be in trouble from the beginning. It turned out that when he saw Zhen Yuan Dao wielding the flying sword and constantly rotating around the stone marrow shell, it seemed that there was nothing difficult about it. When he used the flying sword to kill people, he always stopped him.

Circle is the most basic move in swordsmanship.

However, once he put it into practice, Zhang Tong was surprised to find that it was not easy to use this trick well! Especially the shell of the ten thousand-year-old stone marrow was extremely hard, and the sword light wrapped around it. The angle, strength, and direction only needed a few moments.

If you make any mistakes, you will be kicked away hard.

Zhang Tong tried several times, but all ended in failure. He couldn't help but be surprised. He took a breath of cold air and thought to himself: "It seems that I still thought of swordsmanship too simply! I thought I could rely on the Gourd Sword Technique."

, I can achieve success wherever I go. So far, I have been going smoothly without any setbacks, but it has made me feel arrogant without even realizing it.”

In fact, Zhang Tong had already noticed it. Since he got the Tiger Roaring Sword last time, he has become more and more impetuous. Even Zhen Yuandao doesn't pay much attention to it. He thinks that his sword skills are so good that he has already entered the palace.

, not equally comparable.

This moment gave Zhang Tong a wake-up call, which suddenly cleared his mind. He broke out in a cold sweat and thought to himself, "What's wrong with me? I've only achieved this, but I haven't reached the level of god refining yet."

Then things started to get thicker and thicker! Logically speaking, according to my character, this shouldn't be the case! Is this what people often call 'inner demons'? Unknowingly, internal demons breed, attract external demons to invade, and disturb the mind.

It’s devilish!”

Thinking of this, Zhang Tong suddenly felt even more frightened, because the inner demon is the common enemy of all monks. It is invisible and invisible. Once controlled by it, unconsciously, one will lose consciousness. When dealing with things unclear, no matter how high the cultivation level is, one must

It's also impossible to avoid.

In particular, the inner demon is born from the heart and is extremely difficult to guard against. As long as the belief is lost, it will breed. In addition to making the person insane, it can also attract external demons to come, invade the body, and devour the soul. Only the legend

Only by surviving the thunder tribulation and becoming a true immortal can karmic obstacles be completely eliminated, inner demons will not arise, and all tribulations will be immortal.

But now, Zhang Tong is still far away from that state, and he doesn't dare to think too much about it. Suddenly, he encounters inner demons, which makes him even more unprepared, and he doesn't know how to deal with it. Fortunately, he still has some concentration,

After a moment of panic, I calmed down and thought to myself: "Inner demons! Inner demons! Demons are born from the heart. As long as my inner mind does not move, it will be fine. Internal demons will not arise and external demons will not disturb me. Besides, I am cultivating now."

The reason is still low, even if inner demons are born, they won’t be too strong, and they were discovered early. Now that I have received enlightenment, I think it will be no longer a serious problem.”

While Zhang Tong was thinking and concentrating, he immediately felt deep and clear. There was neither great joy nor great sadness, and his heart was as flat as a lake. He knew that the sudden awakening just now had temporarily broken the demonic barriers in his heart.

Zhang Tong couldn't help but secretly rejoice. At the same time, he also noticed the importance of mental cultivation for the first time. Otherwise, no matter how high the cultivation level is, if the mental level is unstable, the internal demons will be controlled immediately in life. In the end, the external demons will invade, and the soul will be scattered, which is extremely miserable.

.

But Zhang Tong had no idea how to cultivate the mind, and Zhen Yuandao didn't tell him about it. Moreover, according to He Shandao's actions, he probably didn't care about the nature of the mind, otherwise he wouldn't act so unscrupulously.

In addition, most of Heshan Dao's spells are superficial, and he will die of old age before his inner demons break out, so there is no need to be prepared.

In the end, Zhang Tong thought about it, but there was no way to solve it once and for all. He simply changed his mind and secretly made up his mind: "Now that I have entered Taoism and practiced Buddhism, it is impossible to avoid the inner demons. There is no use worrying about gains and losses now. The only thing I can rely on now is

It’s the Gourd Sword Technique. Only by specializing in swordsmanship and understanding its true meaning, even if inner demons arise again in the future, you can kill them with the sharp sword intent in your chest!”

Once Zhang Tong made up his mind, he didn't think too much about it. Instead, he regained his composure, flew the sword, and persevered, circling the ten-thousand-year-old stone marrow. After being bounced away, he continued to do it all night long.

Finally, I had some experience, and I used the sword light in a decent way. Like a wheel of light, it circled around the stone shell quickly, and it took a long time before it was bounced away.

Especially at the end, before dawn, Zhang Tong took advantage of Zhen Yuandao to sleep for a while and secretly pushed the sword technique to the limit. In an instant, the herring sword suddenly accelerated, more than twice as fast as when Zhen Yuandao used it, and there was a sound of breaking through the air.

, like wind and thunder.

Zhang Tong was immediately startled and stopped quickly. He couldn't help being surprised and happy, and secretly thought to himself: "Practice the sword! Practice the sword! Sure enough, the word 'practice' is still there! With the same simple move, Cao Zongfei

The sword has been moved forward, and now when I use it, it feels like an antelope hanging its horns, lifting the weight with ease. In the rush of sending and receiving, it is all done according to my heart, and it is not as stiff as before. And I have only practiced for one day.

, according to Master, it will take at least three years to open this ten thousand-year-old stone marrow. If by then, you still don’t know what you can do with this simple ‘one circle’!”

Zhang Tong thought for a while, and became more and more interested. He simply fired the flying sword again and continued to kill it around the stone marrow shell. Less than a moment later, Zhen Yuandao also woke up and found that Zhang Tong was

After working hard, I was very pleased. I was more generous and rewarded him with a bottle of Qi-reviving elixir before taking the flying sword.

In fact, Zhang Tong was far from exhausted at this time. Firstly, it was because he did not constantly activate the flying sword like Zhen Yuandao. Secondly, the sword Qi cultivated by Zhang Tong was more condensed and purer than ordinary Qi. Although

In comparison, his total amount of Qi is less than one-third of Zhen Yuandao's, but in actual use, it is longer and more durable.

But at the moment, Zhang Tong couldn't reveal it. He took the bottle of elixir, thanked him hurriedly, and then stepped aside. While meditating and adjusting his breath, he reorganized what he had gained last night, and took some time to do so.

, and another acupoint was opened.

Later in the evening, Zhang Tong followed the steps and continued to manipulate the flying sword, rotating around the ten thousand-year-old stone marrow. At first, he was not tired of it, but as time went by, he finally felt boring, so he had some other lively thoughts, thinking: "I

Blindly manipulating the flying sword to revolve around the stone marrow like this can hone the fine control of the flying sword, but it has little other benefit. Instead, it is better to regard the stone marrow as the target and use the moves of Leiyin Sword Technique.

Wouldn’t it be better!”

The more Zhang Tong thought about it, the more he realized that it should be like this, and that his sword skills had always been his shortcomings, so he just took this opportunity to hone them. When he made up his mind, he immediately acted vigorously and resolutely, taking advantage of the situation and using the sword light to kill the sixty-four

The Leiyin Sword Technique was used.

I saw the light of the sword flying, like a dragon or a snake, sometimes flashing, sometimes leaping, flying up and down around the ten thousand years of stone marrow. Wait for the completion of the exercise once, then start all over again, tossing and turning, back and forth. When encountering something,

Where there is stagnation, you have to study hard until the light of the sword is as smooth as a mountain spring.

In the blink of an eye, another seven or eight months passed. Zhang Tong followed Zhen Yuandao in this cave, using flying swords day and night to wear away the shell of the ten thousand-year-old stone marrow. With the combined efforts of about two people, and practice makes perfect, the actual progress was better than expected.

Even faster, one-fifth of the stone shell has been removed. At this rate, if we continue, it will not take three or four years to penetrate it.

Zhang Tong, in particular, has benefited a lot. When he first arrived, although he could activate the flying sword, he could only control it within a hundred feet of the surrounding area. Once he exceeded the range, he would lose control. Now after months of training, he

His swordsmanship has also improved several times. Not only has he mastered all the moves of Leiyin Swordsmanship, but he can also drive the sword light away from five to six hundred feet away, doubling his attack range.

The only flaw is that he still hasn't perfected the fourth level of Little Zhou Tian, ​​because Zhang Tong has been focusing on swordsmanship during this period, so he spends most of his time practicing swordsmanship, leaving only a very small amount of time to accumulate energy and charge acupoints. Moreover,

At the fourth level of Little Zhoutian, the acupuncture points were getting closer and closer to the vital point. He did not dare to act too hastily. He could only slowly use up the erosion. It took nearly a month to barely open an acupuncture point. Now at the fourth level of Little Zhoutian

Of the thirty acupuncture points, only twenty-five were opened, and five more failed to be opened.

Fortunately, Zhang Tong did not act too hastily. Since the last encounter with his inner demon, his temperament has become more settled. Although he is still far from reaching the state of "not being happy with things and not being sad with yourself", but

It also has a more casual and natural flavor than before.

Turning to Zhen Yuan, he found that the progress was beyond expectations. Instead of being happy, he became even more impetuous, blindly seeking speed and urgency, and was unwilling to delay even a moment. His already dark and thin face became even more haggard and his eyes were dizzy.

Not as good as before.

Zhang Tong saw this and knew that Zhen Yuandao might have given birth to inner demons because of his obsession. He wanted to give him some advice, but he was scolded by Zhen Yuandao twice after mentioning it. He had no choice but to endure it for the time being and hope that Zhen Yuandao would

A journey from afar can lead to enlightenment.

Unexpectedly, the situation not only did not get better, but intensified. Just yesterday afternoon, Zhen Yuandao had exhausted his true energy, but he still wanted to push the flying sword to hold on because of his obsession. Finally, his body could not bear it anymore and he suffered the backlash of his true energy.

He fainted on the spot and later vomited blood. (To be continued...)
