Chapter 156: Fragments
Xiao Cheng had long wanted to find an opportunity to make friends with Chen Youniao. Although he didn't know why the other party came to ask for advice about magic swords, he felt that this "asking for advice" must be enclosed in quotation marks.
To describe it as "inquiry", that's pretty much it.
In terms of cultivation, Xiao Cheng has no hope of making a breakthrough, but he has learned a lot about swordsmanship, and now it comes in handy.
"Brother Chen, there is nothing to hide about the experience and methods of training and training the magic sword. This method has its own differences among various schools and sects. There are more popular among the people, and there are advantages and disadvantages. Where I am located is From the outside of the dojo, the techniques I learned are superficial, so please forgive me if I don’t explain them well.”
When he heard about the drama, Chen Youniao laughed and said: "Brother Xiao is too modest. The sage said: If three of us are walking together, there must be my teacher. But there is no harm in saying so."
Xiao Cheng: "..."
He had never heard such words before, and he had a vague feeling that this should be the meaning of Confucian scriptures.
Is this viewer still a scholar?
At that moment, Xiao Cheng didn't want to ask any more questions, so he started to talk freely, describing his experience of the magic sword.
These insights are all gleaned from classics and have never been put into practice.
I feel so weak about myself, how can I really think of myself as a "teacher"?
However, for Chen Youniao, the feeling is very different. He really lacks relevant knowledge points and lacks basic foundation.
Along the way, he has been studying very hard to fill in the gaps, but in this world, cultivation resources are basically monopolized. A layman has no way to get in, not even a chance to peek under the door.
Chen Youniao chose to be the master of Izumo Temple. In addition to wanting a place for spiritual practice, he also wanted to browse the collection of classics in the Taoist temple and gain insights. Unfortunately, most of the books in the Taoist temple were Taoist theories. , general talk, lackluster practicality.
Come to think of it, how could a local Taoist temple have a unique secret book?
So far, Chen Youniao has benefited the most from asking Chi Yangsheng for advice, but the time was short and the questions were mainly about the talismans.
The secret of swordsmanship is another system, and Chi Yangsheng himself is not good at it.
Xiao Cheng's strength is average, but his basic knowledge is very solid. This is exactly what Chen Youniao needs.
This said, it took nearly an hour.
The treasure in Xiao Cheng's stomach was almost empty, so he stopped, found an excuse, ran out, and returned to the room.
His wife Su Wan was inside, looking restless.
Regarding Chen Youniao, Xiao Cheng told her when she returned home. She had the impression that she was a mysterious expert with unknown origins.
Today, this expert came suddenly, bringing with him an indescribable sense of oppression.
In the arena, strangers often represent danger.
The order and stability in Xianyi Town are only relative, not foolproof.
Seeing her husband back, Su Wan breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Why did he come to visit?"
Xiao Chengchang kept it short and spoke briefly.
After listening to this, Su Wan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, feeling that such a thing was against common sense and very abnormal.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
Xiao Cheng muttered: "The Jade Talisman Order is true and cannot be faked. Moreover, he has also been to the Taoist temple in the town. In addition, he got acquainted with Taoist Priest Luo Yun, and the gourd treasures are all real. There is no need for people to do these things. Why are you here to fool me? What do we have that is worthy of his plot?"
Su Wan nodded: "Brother, in your opinion, what kind of person is he?"
Xiao Cheng thought for a while and replied: "He is a calm and trustworthy person, and he is worth making friends with."
Su Wan blinked: "In that case, why don't you take out the remaining scrolls at home and show them to him?"
Xiao Cheng was startled: "Are you serious?"
Su Wan said slowly: "We can't understand that thing and have no use for it. We hide it at home and just use it as a decoration. If we give it to him, we might be able to form a good relationship. This is an opportunity."
After hearing this, Xiao Cheng's eyes lit up: "Yes, Brother Chen has been kind to me for saving my life. Even if it is to repay the kindness, it should be done like this. Then I will take it, Wan'er, you go and cook and prepare the food, and cook the soul."
Dried fish and animal meat, I want to have a good drink with Brother Chen."
After telling his wife, he took out something from a hidden compartment in the room and took it to the hall.
Chen Youniao sat there, drinking tea and digesting the experiences and insights Xiao Cheng told, feeling that he had learned a lot.
This visit was worth it.
Xiao Cheng put the square box in his hand on the table: "Brother Chen, please take a look at this."
"This is?"
Chen Youniao hesitated for a moment, then opened it and saw that there was a scroll inside the box. It seemed to be old and clumsy.
Xiao Cheng explained: "Eight years ago, not long after I came to Yunmeng, I obtained this object during an expedition. It was a sword technique about the magical power of the sword, called "This Heart Sword". Unfortunately, I only got one picture.
Fragments."
Chen Youniao looked at him: "This thing is not ordinary, it must be a treasure, how can I see it?"
Xiao Cheng smiled bitterly and said: "I can't understand the magical power of the sword at all, and I can't learn it. What's the use of holding it? Brother Chen happened to be visiting, so I just wanted to do it as a favor. Besides, I had to leave the scraps. Is it useful?
It’s hard to say, just take a look first.”
Chen Youniao's eyes flashed, so he stretched out his hands and looked slowly.
Xiao Cheng didn't dare to disturb him, so he simply stood up gently and left to help his wife with lunch.
The kitchen is in the corner of the yard. It's not big, but it has all the stoves, pots and pans.
In order to entertain Chen Youniao, the two of them took out the best ingredients at home, including two dried spirit fish and a piece of spirit animal meat weighing half a kilogram.
For them, these are very good things. They are reluctant to eat them at ordinary times, and they often sell them. During holidays, they only eat them once or twice.
Su Wan asked in a low voice: "Brother, do you think he can read the remaining scrolls?"
Xiao Cheng replied: "It should be possible. Being able to control the magic sword means that you have become a god. You also understand that once you become a god, it will be a different world."
Su Wan is also from the Qingcheng Sword Sect, so she naturally understands the concept of transforming into gods. In the first level of "refining energy and transforming into qi", humans are still humans; but when she reaches the second level of "refining qi and transforming into gods", it means "
"Inhuman".
Those who eat Qi are blessed with gods and longevity.
She said with envy: "But he looks so young, he seems to be in his early twenties..."
Xiao Chengyi shrugged: "When you reach the realm, your age will become blurred. I heard that the Tao Lord who lived for hundreds of years just looked like a handsome young man."
Su Wan couldn't help but stick out her tongue, showing a bit of naughty character. Then she thought of something, and her expression became sad: "Brother, it's me who has caused trouble for you. If you hadn't been distracted to take care of me, you might have become sick too.
God’s opportunity.”
Xiao Chengdao: "Wan'er, you are saying these things again. Your hand is disabled because of me. If I abandon it, wouldn't I become a wolf-hearted person? Besides, I am self-aware, how can I cross that threshold?
But our son, by combining the strengths of you and me, will definitely achieve great things in the future."
As he said that, he stretched out his hand to touch Su Wan's belly.
Su Wan is pregnant, but it is only more than two months old, so it is not obvious yet.
She couldn't help but said angrily: "How can I know that I am a son when I haven't even given birth to him yet?"
Xiao Cheng chuckled and said: "This is how it feels..."
Just as they were talking, the two of them suddenly felt a cold breath, and their bodies froze subconsciously. At this moment, they seemed to see countless sharp swords.
These countless sharp swords shrouded the entire mansion.
Xiao Cheng's expression changed greatly: "Brother Chen, this is Brother Chen's sword intention."
The next moment, the sharp and cold aura was restrained and turned invisible.
