There are more and more chess pieces on the chessboard.
Black and white are vertical and horizontal, each forming a formation, filled with murderous intent!
Xiao Chen and Mr. Linghu both stared at the chessboard. Every time a piece fell, they had to look at the overall situation and didn't dare to neglect it!
With the chess game at its current stage, it is easy to make one wrong move and lose the whole game!
For a long time, Mr. Linghu held Bai Zi's hand and paused, showing a wry smile.
He slowly put Baizi back and looked up at Xiao Chen: "I lost."
"hehe."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"What formation is this?"
Mr. Linghu looked at the black stones on the chessboard and asked.
"Nine Gates Locking Dragon Formation, you see, nine gates are formed here. When the ninth gate is formed, that is when the nine and nine are unified, and the Dragon Locking Formation is completed!"
Xiao Chen didn't hold it back and explained to Mr. Linghu.
"oh?"
Mr. Linghu looked at it carefully, showing his experience, it was really the Nine Gates!
"Nine-door Locking Dragon Formation? Why haven't I heard of it before?"
"Haha, this is from an ancient book. I don't dare to be careless when playing chess with you, so I made a formation."
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"I see."
Mr. Linghu looked at it again and was convinced.
"Put this chess game aside for now and let me study it later?"
"Haha, Mr. Linghu, just do your research. If you don't understand anything, just call me and ask me."
Xiao Chen chuckled.
"good."
Mr. Linghu nodded, picked up the tea and took a sip.
"You all should go out first."
"Yes, Master."
The two apprentices nodded first and retreated.
"Do I need to go out too?"
Seeing Mr. Linghu looking at him, Vulcan asked with a shy face.
"Do you need me to throw you out?"
Mr. Linghu looked at Vulcan and asked with a smile.
"Uh, no need, I can just go out by myself."
Vulcan was shocked, shook his head, stood up and left.
Although he wanted to learn something secretly, after all, he had seen the power of sword control last time.
But now it seems that if I don’t leave, I will really fall into disgrace!
Xiao Chen was also faintly excited. Are you going to teach him the skill of controlling the sword?
"Give me the knife."
After the Vulcan also went out, Mr. Linghu said to Xiao Chen.
"good."
Xiao Chen nodded and handed the Xuanyuan knife to Mr. Linghu.
As soon as Mr. Linghu took the sword, his whole aura suddenly changed, like a sword being unsheathed!
It even gives people the illusion that there is nothing left in the world except this knife!
"Little friend Xiao, do you know how to control the sword?"
Mr. Linghu looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"have no idea."
Xiao Chen shook his head, he had never heard of it before.
"The art of controlling a sword is not so much about controlling the sword with your hands as it is about controlling the sword with your thoughts, and when you think, you have the mind..."
Mr. Linghu said slowly.
Xiao Chen listened carefully and pondered, feeling as if a new door had opened.
"The man and the sword become one, you know that, right?"
Mr. Linghu waved the Xuanyuan knife and asked.
"Yeah. I know."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"The first step in mastering the art of swordsmanship is to unite man and sword..."
"What?"
Xiao Chen was a little surprised when he heard this.
Because the state of combining man and sword is so difficult that even he can't achieve it.
Occasionally, if your brain twitches, you may enter this state, but as we said, this is only when your brain twitches.
Normally, he can't combine man and sword!
What kind of person is a man and a sword?
Those who can achieve the state of integrating man and sword are all famous swordsmen in the world!
For example, the sword god Xue Chunqiu!
"I know you can't reach it, so practice slowly. One day, you will step into this realm and then use the skill of controlling the sword."
Mr. Linghu looked at Xiao Chen, smiled and said.
"Well, occasionally... I can become one with my sword."
Xiao Chen hesitated and said.
"can also?"
Mr. Linghu looked a little surprised.
"Well, if you occasionally have a mental twitch, you can become one with the knife, but you have to...how to put it, I want to look for that feeling, but I can't find it, but I inadvertently enter it again."
Xiao Chen scratched his head and said.
"..."
Listening to Xiao Chen's words, Mr. Linghu was a little speechless. What do you mean, if your brain twitches occasionally, you can become one with the sword? Then what do they mean? Are your brains twitching all the time?
However, he still couldn't hide his surprise. How old is this kid to be able to touch the threshold of the union of man and knife?
Could it be that this kid is still a wizard with a knife?
"Mr. Linghu, what do you think this is?"
Xiao Chen looked at Mr. Linghu and asked.
"You have touched the threshold of the union of man and knife. I also went through this process back then... You have to experience it carefully before you can cross this threshold and achieve the true union of man and knife."
Mr. Linghu said slowly.
"Yeah, I will."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Haha, it seems that the skill of controlling the sword was passed on to you, which is really the right person."
Mr. Linghu smiled and waved the Xuanyuan knife.
"Listen carefully, thoughts come from the heart, power comes from the mind..."
Seeing that he started talking again, Xiao Chen quickly calmed down and listened carefully, for fear of missing something.
It took almost ten minutes for Mr. Linghu to finish explaining to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen seemed to understand something, but if he felt it carefully, he couldn't feel it.
"Take your time, you still have a long way to go."
Mr. Linghu taught him how to control the sword, and he couldn't help but feel a little more affectionate toward Xiao Chen, as if he were looking at his junior.
After all, the art of sword control is a secret that is not passed down, and he plans to pass it on to his disciples.
But now, the disciple did not pass it on, but it was passed on to Xiao Chen.
"Thank you, Mr. Linghu."
Xiao Chen nodded, stood up straight, bent over, and said respectfully.
"Haha, you're welcome, you won this."
Mr. Linghu waved his hands, feeling quite pleased in his heart.
"When you get back, think more about it. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."
"good."
Xiao Chen nodded, feeling a little more kind to Mr. Linghu in his heart.
He could see that this sword control skill was very precious.
"Mr. Linghu, why...why did you teach me the art of sword control?"
Xiao Chen hesitated and couldn't help but ask.
"Haha, I didn't lose, did you win?"
Mr. Linghu said with a smile.
"No, this shouldn't be the reason. Sword control skills are extremely precious..."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Haha, it's a good relationship! Okay, don't ask any more questions, you just need to promise me one thing."
Mr. Linghu waved his hand.
"You say."
"Don't spread the knowledge of sword control to outsiders."
"Please rest assured, I will never spread any rumors."
"Well, that's fine."
Mr. Linghu smiled and nodded.
"Okay, I'll return the knife to you. I have to study the Nine-door Locking Dragon Formation."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen understood that Mr. Linghu was about to see off guests.
"Well, you can study it slowly, and when I come next time, I will write out the chess composition of the Nine-door Locking Dragon Formation for you."
"Oh Well."
Mr. Linghu's eyes lit up, he smiled and nodded.
"But, is this convenient?"
"It's nothing inconvenient. You even taught me such a precious skill of wielding a sword."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Okay, then I'll wait."
Mr. Linghu nodded.
"Mr. Linghu, I'll take my leave now."
Xiao Chen said to Mr. Linghu.
"Um."
Mr. Linghu nodded and looked at the nine-door dragon lock formation on the chessboard.
Xiao Chen left the house and came outside.
"Vulcan, let's go."
"Leaving now?"
Vulcan was stunned.
"Otherwise? You stay for dinner?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"Well, let's go together."
Vulcan shook his head, said hello to his two apprentices, and left.
After hearing the car go away, Mr. Linghu, who was studying the chess game, slowly raised his head.
He looked outside, picked up the cold tea, and took a sip.
"I taught this boy the art of sword control. The favor I owe you can be considered repaid... Let's take it as a good favor by killing Po Lang."
Mr. Linghu put down his teacup and spoke slowly to himself.
In the fifteenth life of the Knight, the God of Fire held the Xuanyuan Sword and looked at Xiao Chen: "Did Mr. Linghu really teach you the art of controlling the sword?"
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Then can I learn?"
Vulcan's eyes lit up and he asked.
"No, he told me not to spread it outside."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"All right."
As soon as Vulcan heard this, he knew there was no chance.
"Where is this knife? What are you going to do?"
"Send it to Longmen Inn."
Xiao Chen thought for a while and said.
"oh."
Vulcan nodded, he had nothing to think about the Xuanyuan Sword anyway.
"By the way, Vulcan, have you paid attention to the Western Holy See in the past few days?"
Xiao Chen thought of something and asked.
"I've been paying attention, but there seems to be no movement for the time being... I feel like... Hey, how do you say that sentence in Chinese dialect? It's going to rain heavily, but it's very quiet..."
Vulcan said with some difficulty.
"The calm before the storm."
Xiao Chen rolled his eyes and said something.
"Oh, yes, that's it, the calm before the storm... The Holy See of Light and the Holy See of Darkness have suffered too much loss this time, especially the Dark Holy See, the five energy transformation masters, and the Black Blood Wand. It's impossible for them to just...
Forget it."
Vulcan said in a deep voice.
", I think I have become bolder since I came to China! If it were before, I would definitely not provoke the Holy See of Light and the Holy See of Darkness!"
"Haha, are you so afraid of them?"
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Of course, those are two behemoths!"
Vulcan nodded.
"However, I feel quite happy that the Holy See of Light and Holy See of Darkness suffered such heavy losses this time. I rarely heard of them suffering losses before!"
"Then when they send people again, you kill them."
"No, I'm timid, you should do this."
"Yeah, that's fine. Anyway, we are like grasshoppers on the same rope. If I die, you will die too."
"!"
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Vulcan glared and couldn't help but curse.
"Haha, calm down."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Vulcan, please continue to keep an eye on the Western Holy See... Also, your intelligence network abroad is intact, right? Help me check some more things."
