Chapter 11 Grind the gun before battle, read and nourish
Li Mingyue knew that someone from Taiqing Sect would come looking for him, but she didn't expect that it would be at this time, and the senior sister didn't seem to have any intention of interfering. She just told him the situation and returned to the room.
After Li Mingyue refined the dagger as a natal magic weapon, she could clearly feel some changes in her body. The breath that was not smooth at first was actually driven by the dagger, impacting the spiritual veins of the body, turning the originally damaged
The spiritual veins are repaired bit by bit.
As the spiritual veins were repaired, Li Mingyue's body also underwent earth-shaking changes. Under the influence of this dagger, the muscles and bones of his whole body slowly underwent transformation. Although he did not achieve the so-called rebirth, the progress made in this day alone
, it has surpassed Li Mingyue’s hard training in the past six months.
This discovery surprised Li Mingyue, and it also further proved that the following six realms, like the previous three realms, can be practiced at the same time and complement each other.
Li Mingyue had a feeling that the dagger would not only help him complete his rebirth, but also be of great help in Qi training. However, he had not yet come into contact with the last two realms, so it was unclear what effect it had.
"Yang Shu, a disciple of Zhang Qingyu, came to challenge Li Mingyue of Qingyuan Mountain. He only wanted to take revenge for personal reasons and had no involvement in the sect. He lives and dies according to his destiny!" A loud and deep voice came from the direction of the mountain gate.
Li Mingyue frowned and asked, "If I fight him, do I have any chance of winning?"
The woman in the bell said: "No."
Although Li Mingyue had expected it, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she heard such a direct answer, and then asked: "Can you still take action?"
The woman's answer in the bell was still simple and clear: "No."
Li Mingyue fell silent.
The woman in the bell asked: "What are you going to do?"
Li Mingyue did not answer, but asked: "If I don't go out, he won't call in, right?"
The woman in the bell replied: "It's possible."
"Yang Shu is here to avenge his master, please come out and fight!" The voice outside continued to shout.
Li Mingyue asked: "Is there any other way?"
The woman in the bell was silent for a while and said: "Unless you can refine the other two swords, but this will take time, and even if you defeat him, there will still be other Taiqing disciples. Unless you can refine the entire
Taiqingmen defeated him."
Li Mingyue said bitterly: "Even if I want to, I have to have the ability, right?"
He seemed to suddenly think of something and said doubtfully: "You mean..."
The woman in the bell said: "If you can find a magic weapon from the Dragon Clan and cultivate your own realm to the subtle realm, I can take action once."
Li Mingyue had a bitter look on her face. Not to mention the so-called dragon magic weapon, just cultivating to the subtle realm is not a simple matter. After these six months of experience, Li Mingyue really doesn't dare to be as confident as before.
Although there is only one level difference between the Subtle Realm and the Spiritual Light Mirror, the fourth and fifth realms have stuck Li Mingyue to death. Who knows what changes will happen in the seventh realm.
Soon, everyone knew that Yang Shu of Taiqing Sect was going to challenge Li Mingyue, so they all rushed towards Sanqing Temple. For a time, there was a sea of people in front of Sanqing Temple.
Li Mingyue finally asked: "How long does it take to refine two swords?"
"Three days."
Li Mingyue nodded, and then shouted outside: "It's not convenient now, come back in three days."
Everyone who came to watch the show with great interest frowned when they heard this sentence.
Doesn't this mean that they will come again in three days? And they may not be able to see it, because this matter will probably spread soon. There must be a lot of people coming to watch the battle, and most of them are strong men from the sect.
Or, I am afraid that there will no longer be a place for ordinary people like them in the entire Qingyuan Mountain.
In addition, although Qingyuan Mountain is not high, it still takes a while to climb up from the foot of the mountain. With this delay, the advantageous position has already been occupied by others.
So many people gave up the idea of watching the battle and left cursing.
Among the crowd, an old Confucian was panting and sitting on a stone, beating his knees.
A student asked: "Three days? What kind of medicine does Li Mingyue sell in his gourd? What can he do in three days?"
The old Confucian scholar smiled and said: "Three days is not a short time. You can do a lot of things, such as refining a powerful natal magic weapon, or leaving Qingyuan Mountain and running to the Five Kingdoms."
The students were stunned: "Sir, are you saying that Li Mingyue is going to run away?"
The old Confucian scholar smiled and shook his head, saying: "I just said that you can do it, but I didn't say that Li Mingyue would do it."
All the students immediately looked in admiration. The gentleman is a gentleman and his knowledge is great.
A student asked: "Sir, what should we do now? With something like this happening in Qingyuan Mountain, I'm afraid we won't have time to entertain us."
The old Confucian scholar said: "No problem, we are not here to cause trouble. We are just here to see the scenery of Qingyuan Mountain and feel the atmosphere of the place where the immortals live."
A student asked in confusion: "Didn't Sir, you said before that you wanted to come to Qingyuan Mountain to pick up something?"
The old Confucian scholar sighed and said quietly: "Now it seems that I can't take it away. No matter how good the object is, it will eventually die. Only when the object is used to its full potential can it have value."
All the students looked in admiration again.
In front of the mountain gate, Yang Shu of Taiqing Gate frowned slightly when he heard Li Mingyue's answer, but he didn't say anything more. Instead, he found a seat around and sat down. Judging from his posture, he wanted to wait here.
Three days.
By this time, most of the people who came to watch the show had left, and only the old Confucian scholar and his group of students were left.
The old Confucian scholar also found a place to sit down. He must have calmed down and looked a little energetic.
When all the students saw the old Confucian scholar's expression, they immediately took their seats and waited for the teacher to start his lecture.
Yang Shu just took one look at the actions of this group of people, then closed his eyes and waited patiently.
The old Confucian scholar glanced at Yang Shu, then at Sanqing Temple, and finally focused on those students and asked: "Does any of you know why we study?"
Soon some students raised their hands and said: "Be clear about things and know right from wrong."
The old Confucian scholar smiled and nodded, and continued to ask: "What else?"
The student thought for a while and shook his head. The old Confucian scholar then looked at the other students. Most of the students were thinking, and then some people stood up to answer.
No matter what the answer was, the old Confucian scholar just smiled and nodded, neither saying it was wrong nor correct. After no students answered, the old Confucian scholar stroked his beard and said with a smile: "You know why others say that scholars have
Are you bookish?"
Everyone shook their heads.
The old Confucian scholar smiled and said: "What you said before is not wrong. Understanding things and knowing right and wrong are just the principles in the book. As for 'establishing a heart for the heaven and earth, establishing a destiny for the people, inheriting the unique knowledge for the saints, and creating peace for all generations.
'This is just the thought in the book, and it is the beautiful vision of all readers. Reading is actually just nourishing Qi, some people say it is awe-inspiring Qi, some people say it is scholarly Qi..."
At this point, he paused and continued: "Whether it is an awe-inspiring tone or a scholarly tone, it is precisely because of this tone that I, a Confucian disciple, can face the enemy's swords without changing his expression, and can resolutely die in the face of national calamity. Therefore, the true meaning of studying is
The intention is to cultivate this tone. Of course, there are also people who ignore this tone, so they rely on learning something in books to disrupt the government and bring disaster to the country and the people. Such people cannot be regarded as true scholars because they do not have this tone, or in other words
Their tone has gone astray."
Everyone listened carefully and took notes attentively.
The old Confucian scholar continued: "Of course, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Therefore, although some people have not read the books, they still have this tone. Therefore, although they are not scholars, they are better than the scholars. This is also the reason. You must understand
We have to walk and see the world, because the truth in the book remains unchanged, but the world is changing all the time. Only by traveling through mountains and rivers, seeing all the suffering in the world, and experiencing all kinds of injustices can we straighten out the tone in our hearts. Practicing is actually the same.
In the same way, as the saying goes, 'If you are separated from the suffering of the human world, it is difficult to understand the way of the world. If you are separated from the joy of transcending the world, it is difficult to understand the way of liberation.'"
At this moment, Yang Shu, who had closed his eyes and waited, suddenly opened his eyes. There was a strange light in his eyes, but he quickly closed his eyes again, and the strange light disappeared.
In Sanqing Temple, Li Mingyue suddenly realized that the breath in his spiritual veins suddenly became much smoother, and the Haoran sword seemed to resonate with his body, exuding a gleaming brilliance.
Su Qingfeng only paused for a moment, then quickly recovered and continued her practice.
Outside Sanqing Temple, after the old Confucian scholar finished speaking, he suddenly let out a long sigh, his tone seemed a bit helpless, and whispered: "It's a pity that everyone in the world has obsessions. If you can't let go of your obsessions, how can you be calm? I can't do that."
If you are calm, how can you understand the true meaning of this tone? But if you have no obsession, then..."
He shook his head and did not continue. Instead, he changed the topic and continued to tell the students the famous truth.
At this time, Li Mingyue had already followed his heart and began to refine the Haoran Sword. But this time, despite the help of the woman in the bell, the refining was not as easy as refining the dagger before, and the refining process was painful.
It is also far better than before. The key is to remain absolutely awake during the entire process and clearly feel the heartbreaking pain.
Time passed little by little, and the entire refining process was painful and long, but Li Mingyue could only grit his teeth and persist, because at this time, he had no other choice.
By the time the Haoran Sword was completely refined, Li Mingyue's face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, and his clothes were completely soaked with sweat.
The pain was unbearable, but the rewards were worth the hard work. With the integration of the Haoran Sword, Li Mingyue's body also underwent earth-shaking changes, and it seemed to have a majestic appearance, especially when the two natal objects interacted with each other in the body.
Li Mingyue's physique has been greatly improved in just a few days.
"Time is running out." Just when Li Mingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief, a woman's voice suddenly sounded from the bell.
Li Mingyue also didn't expect that the refining took two full days. In other words, he only had one day left to refine the next natal magic weapon.
There were two swords left in front of him, the Buddhist sword King Kong and the Taoist sword Sanqing. So which sword to refine became a problem.
Finally, he picked up the Buddha Sword King Kong, not because of anything else, but compared to Sanqing, the King Kong as a whole was much smaller, so he felt that it would be easier to refine it, after all, time was tight.
But even so, Li Mingyue's pupils were still filled with deep fear, and the heartbreaking pain made him want to retreat for the first time.
