The Sword of Smiling and Proud

Chapter 9
In the past two years, Guan Yuan's Huashan Neigong practice has progressed quite quickly. The Huashan Qi in his dantian has gradually grown from the thickness of a hair to the thickness of a thumb, and it moves freely in the body, like an arm.

Guan Yuan has also done some replays himself. Firstly, it is due to Yuehua's refresh of the daily practice limit. One year of practicing by himself is equal to two years for others. , the twelve orthodox meridians and the eight extra meridians in his body are tough and broad, with deep roots. When the internal force is running, there is no trace of blockage, and the natural progress is rapid.

Suddenly one day, Yue Buqun summoned Guan Yuan and Linghu, saying that he wanted to take a martial arts exam and check the progress.

In that martial arts arena, all the Huashan swordsmanship was danced by Linghu, like a dragon playing a phoenix, like exploring the moon in the water, the shadow of the sword filled the sky, and the cold light suddenly appeared.

The meaning of Huashan swordsmanship is taken from the words "odd and dangerous" in Huashan, Huashan.The infinite scenery of Mount Hua is all in the word "odd" and "dangerous".Strangeness and danger often complement each other with beauty, so Huashan's swordsmanship is extraordinary, lofty and unsurpassed, and every move reveals the artistic conception of matching odd victories and seeking victory in danger.Linghu Chong's swordsmanship has already mastered the three flavors of Huashan's swordsmanship, and he has entered the room.

I saw that Linghu Chong was making a move of "Heavenly Squire Hanging Upside Down", which is an extremely dangerous move in Huashan's sword art. It uses the sword to stab from bottom to top. At this time, Linghu Chong's steps were slightly chaotic, and his center of gravity was three points, causing Jianfeng to bend by more than a finger.If this is a confrontation with an enemy, the opponent can seize the gap where Linghu Chong's foot is unstable and stab his vitals, which is extremely dangerous.

Yue Buqun was a little displeased to see him obsessed with swordsmanship every day, but seeing that the sword move was wrong due to wrong footwork this time, he let out a cold snort.

After Linghu Chong's demonstration was over, seeing his master's uneasy expression, he immediately felt uneasy.

Yue Buqun asked, "Chong'er, you are quite proficient in swordsmanship, how about passing on your internal skills to the teacher?"

"Uh, my disciple is dull, and I haven't gotten much internal strength recently." Linghu Chong didn't dare to lie and deceive, and answered truthfully.

Yue Buqun watched his set of sword skills, his complexion was ruddy, and he panted slightly, so he had confidence in his heart.Stretching out his hand, it was indeed as Linghu Chong said, that his internal strength was not as fast as his swordsmanship.

Guan Yuan thought to himself at the side, this is also related to Linghu Chong's extremely high talent in swordsmanship, learning sword is more effective with less effort.The swordsmanship cultivation base is running fast, but it seems that the improvement of internal strength is a bit stretched.Of course, Linghu Chong's natural nature likes to be active but not to be quiet, and his impetuous character also makes it difficult for him to cultivate inner strength and his progress is slow.

Yue Buqun was worried that if Linghu Chong continued to be so biased, he might follow the old path of Jianzong.Yue Buqun couldn't help worrying, and then strictly demanded that Linghu Chong must practice Qi for an hour every day, otherwise he was not allowed to rest.

Linghu Chong groaned secretly in his heart, so he had no choice but to agree.

When it was Guan Yuan's turn to test the school, since Yue Buqun hadn't taught him the Huashan Sword Art yet, he just asked him about his cultivation of Huashan Internal Kung Fu.

Guan Yuan's heart moved, and he said softly, "The disciple is bold."

Then he grew taller, took a deep breath, and blurted out a long cry.

Just listen to the whistling sound, the volume is not loud but the penetrating power is extremely strong. This sound is like a dragon singing in a big lake, a tiger roaring in a deep valley, and it is transmitted far away.Invisible sound waves surround the mountains, and it seems that the mist is vaguely shaken, and the sun can be seen.

The whistling sound lasted for about half a stick of incense, and then gradually stopped.There were still echoes coming from the valley. Looking back, Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan were stunned, speechless.

Yue Buqun had many surprises in his heart at this moment, he didn't want Guan Yuan's internal energy to be so advanced, this long howl was just a manifestation of Guan Yuan's internal energy.People who have practiced Qi since ancient times, when they have practiced to a certain level, they often make loud noises unconsciously.In later generations, there was a great Confucian Wang Yangming who practiced Qi in the barracks in the middle of the night, and suddenly let out a long roar, which shocked the entire army. This is a well-documented event in history.

Previously, he only knew that Guan Yuan was exceptionally talented in the field of internal energy, but he did not expect it to be so terrifying. After only two years of entry, he had already practiced Huashan internal energy to such an extent.

Yue Buqun nodded to express his satisfaction, but Ning Zhong did not hide his excitement and praised Guan Yuan repeatedly.

"Chong'er, as a senior brother, your sect is based on internal strength training. You should set an example, so that you can lead all the senior brothers to move forward." Yue Buqun reprimanded.

Linghu Chong had just recovered from the shock, and agreed embarrassingly.

"Second senior brother, you are really powerful. Does your throat hurt when you call me that?" Yue Lingshan still spoke with childishness.

During this school exam, Yue Buqun had both joys and sorrows. The joy was that the second disciple's progress was much faster than expected, but the worry was that the eldest disciple would go down the old path of Jianzong if he didn't make corrections.Linghu Chong was raised by Yue Buqun and his wife since they were young, and they have a deep relationship, while Yue Buqun and Ning Zhong are only angry with him, but not disappointed for him.In the next few days, he strictly supervised Linghu Chong's qi training and worked tirelessly every day.

Linghu Chong was not interested in inner strength training at first, but seeing that the second junior brother had only been a beginner for two years, his inner strength cultivation had already surpassed his own, felt ashamed, and worked harder.It also looks much better than before.

One day after evening class, Yue Buqun took the two disciples and explained to them the major realms of inner strength cultivation. Yue Lingshan also moved a futon, and took Ningzhong to listen.

"This Huashan School's internal strength training, you should be diligent, and you will see your strength over time."

"Huashan disciples should start from sitting in meditation and feel the dantian. If there is a faint sense of heat, which can circulate throughout the body, this is a sign of the introduction of inner strength."

"Daddy, I've been meditating for half a month, when can I start?" Yue Lingshan asked from the side.

"Don't mess around. If you fall asleep before you fall asleep, that's not called practicing." Ning Zhong nodded his daughter's forehead.

"Cough cough, as the power grows, if you can open up the twelve meridians of the whole body, there will be no hindrance in the transfer of internal energy to the big and small circles. This is a small achievement of the kung fu. When it is small, the power of the internal kung fu will naturally appear. Light kung fu, body skills, sword skills With the blessing of internal energy, the fists and feet are greatly increased. Yuan'er is currently in this state, Chong'er, you still have enough Shaoyang gallbladder meridian, you have not yet opened up, you still have to work hard."

Linghu Chong nodded repeatedly.

"After a small achievement, the internal force will gradually become pure and free from impurities. My Huashan internal force is peaceful, long-lasting and long-lasting, and the speed of returning energy is also one of the best in the rivers and lakes. Internal energy training is the creation of heaven and earth, absorbing the energy of heaven and earth into the body. When you practice daily and reach the [-] great celestial circles, you will be able to achieve perfection, and the internal forces of your whole body will be condensed into one body, endlessly, and all changes will return to the original."

"At this time, it is regarded as a great achievement in Qi training. When the time comes, I will arrange advanced mental methods for you according to each of your physique."

"Daddy, it's really unbearable to meditate and do exercises every day. Is there any quick way?" Yue Lingshan asked.

"Hmph, if you don't work hard every day, you just think about crooked ways."

"Hee hee, I asked for senior brother." The little girl betrayed Linghu Chong in the blink of an eye.

"Haste makes waste, you must keep this principle in mind. There are some quick-fix methods that have been circulated in the Jianghu, but they all have to pay a certain price. I heard that there was a hero in the previous dynasty, most of whom lived in waterfalls and sea tides. Cultivation, the realm of internal strength grows rapidly, but this method is fierce and domineering, and it hurts the meridians too much. It is impossible for people with extraordinary talents to do it. Even if it is done, it will hurt Shouyuan. Practicing kung fu is not worth the gain, and it is your own body that will be damaged, and once you lose control, you will be easily poisoned and die." Having said this, Yue Buqun paused,
"Of course, if you can find some treasures of heaven and earth, reconcile dragons and tigers, overcome obstacles, and take them, you will naturally increase your cultivation level. But these are all illusory opportunities that cannot be met."

"The heart method of our school is passed down from the Taoist classics. It pays attention to a step-by-step process, and both internal and external cultivation, and finally achieves the unity of heaven and man, and the state of mixed yuan. If you persist in practicing for three to fifty years, not to mention eternal youth, you will be free from all diseases. There are still invasions. It is rumored that there was a Quanzhen Patriarch in the early years, when his inner strength was perfected, all the white hair on his head turned black, almost a miracle."

After listening to Yue Buqun's explanation, Guan Yuan couldn't help thinking of the story of Yang Guo in The Legend of Condor Heroes. At that time, he ate a lot of the gall of the strange golden snake, which greatly improved his internal strength. I don't know if he can still find it now.And the big snake blood that Guo Jing drank when he was young, and the manggu Zhu clam that Duan Yu subdued, they are all considered as treasures of heaven and earth.
