Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 14 Shows you what a sword is
Apply what you have learned.

If you don't use it, no matter what you learn, it's just theory.

Talking about war on paper is nothing more than rhetoric.

Chen Jin has been practicing "Eight Swords of Yongzi" for some time, which is regarded as an introduction. During this period, he encountered many difficult problems and could not solve them.

Without the guidance of a master, it is tantamount to self-study, completely relying on self-exploration and visualization.

But visualization is not fantasy, too much fantasy, it is easy to get distracted, leading to delusions...

In a word, if you want to learn swordsmanship well, you must participate in actual combat.

But what about the opponent?

Chen Jin felt that the group of dead dogs was quite suitable.

What's more, you don't act alone, there is a Taoist priest by your side to take care of you, and you can advance or retreat.

Gu Leyou thought about it for a while, and agreed.On the one hand, he was already tired of being harassed by corpse dogs; on the other hand, he also wanted to see the sword that Chen Jin had learned:
"But you don't have a sword, how can you kill?"

Chen Jin raised the bamboo stick in Yang's hand: "I usually use wooden swords when practicing swords."

Gu Leyou: "..."

Is this a joke?
If it wasn't for witnessing Chen Jin's extraordinary reading and teaching the undead and ghosts last night, the Taoist priests would be angry.

It's not that Chen Jin was in a hurry, he couldn't conjure a sword out of thin air.

This time, it's time to get a real sword.

At noon, Gu Leyou left Yizhuang, went around the hills outside, and came back with two pheasants that had been slaughtered.

Then set it on fire in the open space outside the village, take out oil, salt and other seasonings, and roast it.

Judging by his proficiency, it is obvious that he often does this.

Unexpectedly, this Taoist priest is actually a skilled cook!
"There is no shop in front of Yizhuang, no store in the back of the village, and if you don't know how to make your own food, how can you starve to death?"

Gu Leyou said.

There are many birds and beasts in the wild mountains and forests, as long as you have the ability, you will never be hungry.Moreover, game meat is quite nutritious and suitable for people who practice martial arts.

After a while, the pheasant was roasted, and the aroma was tangy.

He took one and gave the other to Chen Jin: "Taste my craft."

Chen Jin was not hypocritical, thanked him, and ate the meat.

This pheasant is quite big, weighing three to four catties, and the average person would have to eat two meals to finish it.

But no matter Gu Leyou or Chen Jin, they were not ordinary people, and the wind swept away, and in the end there were only a pile of chicken skeletons left.

Gu Leyou looked at Chen Jin, and shouted: "Cheer up! You are a scholar, you suit my temperament. From now on, you will be my friend."

Chen Jin smiled slightly: "Okay."

After eating, take a rest, and the time will pass quickly.

At dusk, Gu Leyou unexpectedly hunted back a fat hare.

There is not only rabbit meat for dinner, but also wine.

The wine was packed in a yellow leather gourd. Gu Leyou said that it was a spirit wine brewed with elixir medicine, which was unusual.

When pouring the wine, the Taoist had a pained face: "Let's have a drink each, no more."

The wine glass is not big, but it is of jade quality.

As the caretaker of the Yizhuang here, Gu Leyou's quality of life is quite good, and he is a particular person.

Chen Jin took a sip of his wine, and the wine entered his throat and turned into a hot stream, making him feel comfortable.

It really is a good wine!
Looking at the yellow-skinned gourd again, his eyes became greedy.

The Taoist hurriedly hid the gourd behind his back: "I really don't have much left of this spiritual wine. I usually don't want to drink it. I just open the stopper and smell the wine. Today I met this friend, so I drank a glass."

Chen Jin thought of an interesting sentence, and laughed: "A lot? Not a lot."

"Not much!"

The Taoist laughed.

After finishing dinner, the two of them sat outside the gate of Yizhuang. Chen Jin's books and other things were placed in the room. The bamboo stick in his hand was round, about three feet long, thick at the top and pointed at the bottom, not like a sword, but more like a stick;

Gu Leyou sat cross-legged, with the sword placed on his lap, he twitched it lightly, and suddenly a cold light shone.

When Chen Jin saw it, he couldn't move his eyes away.

The sword is simple and thick, with two sides of the blade. I don't know what material it is made of. The blade is imprinted with complicated lines, like runes, with strands of light red, like blood.

"The name of this sword is 'Chiyue'. It is not an ordinary sword, but a magic sword."

"The magic sword?"

Chen Jin asked.

"Items that can penetrate thoughts and stimulate spells are collectively referred to as 'magic tools'. Magical tools can kill ghosts and gods, but ordinary weapons cannot."

Gu Leyou explained.

Chen Jin listened carefully and soon understood.In the landscape of his Niwan palace, the divine sword condensed from the "Ceremony of Merit" should belong to the magic weapon or the like.

It's a pity that it can't be used.

In reality, one has to forge a real sword with a substance through the method of visualization.

If good materials can be found and a powerful swordsmith can be hired, then the forged sword will also be a magic sword.

Gu Leyou said again: "It's not easy to obtain the magic sword, and it's even more difficult to sacrifice it. If it's not done properly, it will destroy the spiritual quality, lose the magic power, and become an ordinary weapon. I have already warmed up this Chiyue sword It took ten years to cultivate some spiritual quality."

Chen Jin: "..."

He found that regardless of martial arts or spiritual practice, "years" are always used as the unit.

If you want to take a shortcut, unless you open it.

For example, a traveler who has built a Confucian Temple.

Gu Leyou sighed: "The magic sword is powerful, but it is quite fragile. When used, it is easy to get dirty. It must be disposed of in time and cleaned."

Chen Jin heard the implication: "If you kill a corpse dog, you will also be defiled?"

"Yes, because corpse poison is one of the substances that defile the magic weapon."

Chen Jin was speechless: "This is like a pampered young lady. She can't be touched, knocked, or dirty."

Gu Leyou shrugged: "It is mainly a magic weapon that is in the stage of cultivation, and there are many taboos. It will be different when it is really refined."

"Since that's the case, it's best not to use your sword tonight, lest it be defiled and destroy your spiritual quality."

Chen Jin kindly advised.

The corner of Gu Leyou's mouth curled up: "I never planned to use a sword."

"Then you take it out?"

"Just for you to see, let you see what is called a sword!"

Complacent, Gu Leyou pushed the blade back into the sword case with a push.

Chen Jin: "..."

Want to hit someone.

During the conversation, night fell, the moon was light and the stars were sparse.

Gu Leyou looked up at the night sky, his face tightened: "Scholar, there are about 20 corpse dogs, and they come and go in groups at night. They are different from ordinary wild dogs. Not only are their claws contaminated with corpse poison, but they are also more cunning. Ferocious, know how to cooperate in siege. We will guard at the door, when the fight starts, if the momentum is not right, we will retreat into Yizhuang immediately."

Chen Jin nodded and said, "Okay."

Gu Leyou breathed out: "Now, while there is still some time, close your eyes and rest your mind. I'm afraid it will be very long tonight."

Time always passes faster than expected.

"Ring bell bell!"

"Ooooooooooo!"

The night wind blew the wind chimes under the eaves of Yizhuang Gate, and also the howling of dead dogs.

"The dead dogs are coming to eat people!"

The starling bird named "Xiaoba" opened its mouth and screamed, jumping around restlessly under the eaves.

Chen Jin looked up, and soon saw pairs of green eyes appearing around Yizhuang.

Dead dogs emerged and slowly surrounded them.

　Where to follow up?Newcomers are hard to mix!
