Chapter 182: Guidance of Daoist Qingyun
In terms of sword practice, I really put a lot of effort into it. I didn’t rest in the scorching sun above my head. Others stopped and I was still practicing.
At this time, Master Qingyun walked out of the backyard and saw that I was still practicing, so he came to me to give advice. After correcting many problems, he said to me earnestly: "Xiaofan, you are just starting out, don't be too impatient. If you are anxious, you can't eat hot tofu. Sometimes you will drive yourself crazy."
I don’t want to do it either, but I became a monk halfway through and fell much behind others. If I don’t put in enough effort to learn and practice, when will I catch up with them?
I don’t want to let others protect me every time I encounter danger, and I don’t want Lin Keyao’s father to look down on me. I have to become stronger. At least, I have to have the confidence to stand in front of Lin Keyao’s father.
So I said to Master Qingyun: "Teacher, it's not a problem. Every time I feel upset, I will stop and recite the mantra of meditation and the scriptures you teach today."
Taoist Principal Qingyun nodded with satisfaction and said, "I haven't seen such a hardworking child for a long time. Come on, practice again, I'll help you see what needs adjustment."
After hearing what Master Qingyun said, I became happy and became more and more diligent in practicing swords.
After dancing the basic skills of sword skills taught today, Master Qingyun nodded and looked at me and said, "The sword's attack methods include: pulling, bringing, lifting, placing, hitting, stabbing, pointing, breaking, stirring, pressing, chopping, cutting, cutting, washing, cloud, hanging, snatching, chopping, picking, wiping, cutting, tying, circle, etc."
"You did a good job, practiced more basic skills and you will be able to master them quickly."
"But the cultural heritage of swordsmanship is very profound. There are many names and forms of swordsmanship. Only a single sword can be divided into short-spike swords and long-spike swords. From the perspective of sword path, it can be divided into: swordsmanship, swordsmanship, mullet swordsmanship, drunk swordsmanship and two-handed swordsmanship. Various swordsmanship styles are different. swordsmanship is strong in shape, strong in bones, dignified in style, one move, one ending style; swordsmanship is smooth and unobstructed, swings are elegant, and suddenly retracts, stops more and less; mullet swordsmanship are gentle and concise, and slowly continues; drunk swordsmanship, swings freely, and suddenly becomes drunk, and is like drunk, not drunk; swordsmanship with both hands hold swordsmanship, chop, chop, shoulder, and hang, and has agile body style and colorful."
"The peach wood sword we usually use can also dance the real sword intent as long as it is used properly. Whether it is the craft sword, the walking sword, the cotton sword, or the drunk sword, as long as you have no distractions and feel it with your heart, even if you hold it in your hand is not a sword, but a wooden stick, it can still produce a different effect."
"Teacher, there are too many of them, I can't understand them at all." I touched my head. It was interesting to practice swords. After Taoist Qingyun said this, I felt a headache.
Taoist Master Qingyun smiled and said, "It's better to do it once than to say it a hundred times. Xiaofan, you attack me with the wooden sword in your hand. I only use one hand to make a sword point and compete with you."
I looked at the peach wood sword in my hand, then looked at Taoist Qingyun, nodded and said, "That's going to offend, teacher!"
After saying that, I raised my sword and slashed at Taoist Qingyun.
I tried my best in speed, offensive, strength, and every aspect, but Taoist Qingyun was unmoved and stood there and didn't even hide.
When I slashed with a sword, I was about to slash Master Qingyun, I subconsciously wanted to stop, but Master Qingyun said coldly: "Xiaofan, don't stop, try your best to attack me."
Upon hearing this, I had to give up and pressed on it.
However, Master Qingyun raised his hand with a light finger and clamped the peach wood sword with his sword finger.
He left the peach wood sword and looked straight at me and said, "Come again!"
I nodded, pulled the sword and slashed from bottom to top, and Taoist Master Qingyun turned his body and avoided the attack.
I swung my sword and stabbed it again, and Taoist Master Qingyun took it all with ease.
After a while, I was panting and sweating.
Master Qingyun didn't feel tired at all, and he didn't even have a drop of sweat on his body.
He smiled and reached out to take away the peach wood sword from my hand, and said to me, "Now I'll attack you, you just need to avoid it."
"Okay" I stretched my arms and thought that I must perform well.
I looked at Taoist Qingyun attentively, and saw that his hand gently waved, and the peach wood sword shook over.
"So fast!!!"
Before I could see clearly, the peach wood sword had already appeared on my neck.
Taoist Master Qingyun did not attack me, and the peach wood sword was still a little far from my neck, but if he wanted to kill me, I would be dead in one go.
I took a breath of cold air and felt that Master Qingyun was hidden.
The old man who looked quite kind didn't expect that he would be so decisive when he took action without any delay.
"Come again!"
Taoist Master Qingyun looked at me and said.
"good!"
I nodded and prepared again.
I saw Taoist Master Qingyun pulling his sword again and stabbing me violently.
I hurriedly avoided, but I didn't expect that I could dodge it.
"Don't take it lightly." However, before I could be happy, Master Qingyun had already reminded me, and the sword in his hand stopped in front of me.
A little further forward, my eyes are gone.
Very fast speed.
Taoist Master Qingyun put away his sword, looked at me with a smile and said, "When facing evil spirits, they will not show mercy."
He threw the peach wood sword to me, and I took it and immediately bowed.
"Disciple remembers it in my heart."
"Okay, you practice first, and take a rest when you are tired." Taoist Qingyun patted my shoulder.
"Yeah," I nodded, recalling Taoist Qingyun's moves and moves in my mind.
After Taoist Qingyun left, I continued to practice swords. Feng Fangya ran over and looked at me and said, "Why are you doing so hard? There are not so many evil spirits in the world that you can catch you."
"Go and don't bother me." I turned my head and continued to practice, too lazy to pay attention to him.
Feng Fangya shook his head in a boring way: "You kid are just an idiot, and you will die sooner or later on the road to learning Taoism."
After practicing for several hours, I couldn't bear it anymore. I sat aside and drank some water. In the evening, I took a shower while no one was taking a shower, and then followed my senior brother in the front yard to clean.
They all came from Laoshan. While I followed them to sweep the floor, I asked them about their life in Laoshan.
These senior brothers are pretty good, and they don’t seem impatient with my problems, so they told me everything they know.
But they don't know much, but for me, this knowledge is enough.
I'm still far from them.
After sweeping the floor, practice the six-character formula, and then go to the Sutra Pavilion to meditate and recite the sutras.
I didn't eat it while eating. Feng Fangya saw that I was still meditating, so he went to the cafeteria to ask me for a few steamed buns. He didn't bring it to me until I left the Jing Pavilion and asked me to prepare some water to swallow it to fill my stomach.
