It is not a quiet room carved on the cliff, which can be regarded as a real cultivation cave. Each cave on Wufu Hill has springs, some are natural, and some are led from the rock formations by artificial means. The so-called caves are of course not only
It's a cave, with a cliff behind it and an open-air courtyard in front. The courtyard wall is actually carved into the mountain rock.
On one side of the courtyard is a natural rock. There is a spring on the rock, and there is a pool with springs below. The pool is divided into three layers, which can be used for bathing, washing utensils, and diverting water for irrigation. The cave chosen by Huwa has three connected springs in the courtyard.
The pond is on the right; on the left is a small garden, about five feet in diameter, where you can plant flowers, plants, fruits, vegetables or elixirs according to your own preferences.
There is a strange tree growing next to the spring pool. The main trunk is about three feet high, and the spread crown above looks like a crouching tiger. This tree is the famous Fiber fir on Wufu Hill. Although it is in the cold zone of the plateau, it grows only year-round.
There are lush foliage in all seasons.
The needles of the fir are flat, about one finger long, shaped like a small sword, and even the veins and texture are like the patterns on the sword. The new leaves it grows in spring are light green, and in summer they are emerald green.
After winter, it turns blue-black again. Every spring, after the new tender green leaves sprout, the old blue-black leaves gradually fall off.
Huwa had seen this kind of fir tree in the deep mountains and dense forests outside, but rarely encountered it. He was also very interested in the leaves with a very special shape. He once picked them off and studied them, and found that they could be used as
It is a treasure of heaven and earth for refining weapons. However, it is very laborious and extremely difficult to succeed in completely refining the physical properties of ordinary sword leaves.
Huwa was the first to choose the cave, and everyone followed him in to visit. Hanxiong looked at the lush canopy of the fir tree and said: "There happens to be a tree crown spread here, covering the largest spring pool. If
If you bathe in the spring, you won’t be able to see anyone standing on the mountain.”
Everyone was amused by him. Uncle Jin Rong smiled and introduced: "Actually, there is one such fir tree in the courtyard of every cave, and it is planted next to the spring pool. If it dies unexpectedly, the elders in the sect will also die.
I will transplant another one. But the use Hanxiong mentioned is the first time I have heard of it, so maybe it makes sense."
Xiaojun asked: "This fir tree is planted in every cave courtyard. Does it have any special use?"
Uncle Jin Rong nodded and said: "Yes, it is very useful for practicing the four secret techniques on Wufu Qiu, sword control, sword refining, sword formation, and sword talismans. For most disciples
, it’s even essential.”
Spring had begun at this time, and many blue-black sword leaves fell in the spring water and on the ground. Master Jin Rong waved his hand, and used the method of controlling objects to roll up nine sword leaves at the same time, circling in the air like flying swords.
. A formation vaguely evolved. He flicked his fingers again, the sword leaves fell again, and explained it to everyone again.
The green-black leaves of the lengjian fir that just fall every year are also a kind of natural and earthly treasure that can be used to refine weapons, but their quality is not good and they are easily damaged during refining. Even if they are made into treasures or magic weapons, their power is very small.
It's basically not very useful in battles. But on the other hand, it has very important value. It's better in numbers.
Disciples of Wu Fu Qiu used fallen leaves to refine flying swords. Although they were almost always damaged, they could practice repeatedly and become familiar with and master the art of sword refining.
After new leaves sprout every spring, not all the old blue and black leaves will fall off. There will always be a few sword leaves that continue to grow on the tree, gradually showing a metallic luster, and as the years go by, this luster will become more and more beautiful.
The more obvious it is, the purer its physical properties will be. This special sword leaf will fall off after about ten years, and will sink when it enters water. It will not rot in water.
If it does not fall into water but is scattered on the ground, its physical properties will remain unchanged for decades under the sun and rain, and it will lose its metallic luster and gradually decay after decades. This special sword leaf is more suitable for
Refining a treasure or magic weapon flying sword, although its power is not very great, it is very helpful in mastering Takefu Qiu's sword control skills. When it is sacrificed, it looks like a hovering flying needle.
Of course, the art of sword control also requires years of practice, but the monk's flying sword is often very powerful when used at full strength. Although the cave is quite spacious, it is not big enough for the flying sword to attack randomly. Therefore, the disciples practice in the cave on weekdays.
Sword-controlling techniques will be performed with this magic weapon made from sword leaves to help them become more proficient in technique and have more refined skills.
As for another more important use of these sword leaves, Master Jin Rong has just shown it, which is to practice sword formations.
Sword formation is much more difficult to practice than ordinary sword control, and requires special magic weapons to perform. Before a magic weapon can be refined to display the magic power of sword formation, you can also use these sword leaves to simulate the practice of sword formation, just like Jin Rong
That's what Uncle Master did just now. On the other hand, a truly powerful sword array cannot be used in the cave. If the flying sword is sacrificed outside the cave, it may disturb other people in the mountain.
And those special sword leaves suitable for refining weapons have another very important purpose. Not only can they be refined into magical weapons individually, the leaves on the same tree have similar physical properties, and many leaves can also be fused and refined into the same weapon.
Magical weapons, and such a complete set of magical weapons is the basis for the magical power of the sword array.
Therefore, Wufuqiu disciples usually have to use those special sword leaves to refine a complete set of magic weapons before they can display the real magical power of the sword formation. Master Jin Rong just used a few ordinary leaves to evolve the sword formation.
, not using the sword formation.
If a disciple practices and masters all the above-mentioned magical powers and spells proficiently, he will be equivalent to mastering the sword-controlling, sword-refining, and sword formation skills on Wufu Hill. This may seem very simple, but if you want to do it, you can do it.
too difficult
As long as Wufu Qiu's disciples have the cultivation level of the Four Realms, they can certainly use the magical power of sword control, but their skills and realms are different. However, not everyone may be good at refining flying swords. Some people who want to take advantage of flying swords often need to carry them with them.
It can be made with the help of fellow disciples, or it can be given by the elder. As for the technique of sword formation, it needs to be taught by the master alone.
There is also a secret teaching on Wufu Hill, which is the art of sword talismans. The basis of which is to practice the sword formation to at least a small level. The most commonly used material for making sword talismans is also the special sword leaf, and the technique is similar to refining a complete set.
A sword formation weapon, but what is finally made is not a magic weapon, but many needles are fused together to make a sword talisman.
In other words, you have to successfully practice all the three secret kung fu before you can master the art of sword and talisman. Even the cultivation of the five realms is a bit reluctant. If you are not careful in refining the weapon, it will be damaged, and it may also injure the refiner.
It is more difficult and dangerous for the wielder himself to refine a set of flying sword magic weapons. Therefore, the disciples use this less powerful sword leaf to master it first, and this is especially true for refining sword talismans.
Master Jin Rong didn't need to introduce these to the disciples who had just arrived at the main peak, but Huwa had the cultivation of the Five Realms, and Hanxiong pointed at this tree and talked nonsense, so he explained it specially.
Everyone was astonished that this large cultivation sect that has been inherited for five hundred years really has extraordinary heritage. Even a tree planted in the cave has so much exquisiteness. Hanxiong asked with a smile: "Uncle Jin Rong, Wufu Qiu."
Have you mastered all the four secret teachings mentioned above?"
Uncle Jin Rong rolled his eyes at him and said: "It has been more than forty years since I climbed the main peak, thirty years since I broke through the fourth realm, and now I am at the seventh level of the fifth realm. I remember that I had practiced in seclusion in the cave.
I am not proficient in the art of sword control, sword refining, and sword formation; as for the art of sword talisman, I am not proficient in it. Every secret teaching in Wufuqiu is extensive and profound. Most of the disciples in the mountain mainly practice the art of sword control.
.
Refining a sword takes a lot of hard work and energy, and practicing sword formations requires more talent. The elders of the past generations of Wufuqiu learned from the experience of craftsmen in the world in making artifacts, and usually organized their disciples to work together to create flying swords. As for the sword formations, they were combined with the art of battle formations.
It is often performed by multiple disciples holding swords in formation. The sword talisman is often only given by the elders to protect important disciples when they come down the mountain."
Everyone hurriedly saluted and said, "That's it. Thank you so much, uncle, for your advice!"
Uncle Jin Rong led everyone through the courtyard and into the cave. Its architecture was not only a cave dug into the cliff, but more than half of the front hall was outside the mountain, like a house built against the mountain.
The front doors, windows, walls and roof are all cut from natural boulders protruding from the mountain.
The main hall is very spacious and can usually be used to receive guests. There is also a side hall next to it, which can store various sundries. There are two meditation rooms, one large and one small, in the back. In that side hall, there is actually a martial arts stone shell refiner.
The treasure jar he made was about half a man tall. Han Xiong curiously opened the seal of the jar, and a strong aroma of wine immediately filled the air.
Everyone was surprised: "How come there is wine in this cave? There is more than half of the jar!"
Uncle Jin Rong, who had just made a serious face, smiled again: "Of course it was brewed by your seniors. The disciples of Wufuqiu have different talents and hobbies. It is not uncommon for someone to brew wine in the cave. This jar of wine should have been filled with a few bottles.
It has been ten years, and it has been well sealed with treasures. It is a gift for future disciples...Xiaolu, if you move out of this cave in the future, you can leave something for future generations."
Wufu Qiu is really an interesting place. Disciples practice in the cave, and when they go down the mountain or leave, they often leave some things as gifts to future generations, such as the fine wine in this cave. According to Master Jin Rong, this cave
No one has lived in the cave for nearly fifty years. The buildings are sealed and the courtyard is cleaned once a year. It was reopened today for Huwa.
Uncle Jin Rong added: "There is no canteen on the main peak. If you need to eat on weekdays, you should go back to Mojian Peak. The beds in the big house are also reserved for you, but you can bring everything to this cave. On weekdays,
You can also live here while practicing."
Dajun added: "A cave like this can accommodate more than one person!"
Uncle Jin Rong glanced at him and said: "I know what you are thinking. It is true that more than one person can live here. The cave is also a retreat for cultivation. You can come here as a guest, but if you want to stay in other people's caves for a long time and disturb others,
It’s not appropriate for cultivation... If the owner of the cave takes the initiative to invite you, I won’t mind your own business.” (To be continued...)
