During the past two years, in addition to treating illnesses and saving lives, and fighting duels, Xiang Nan was also studying the magic sword secret manual passed down by Lin Guozhi.
The magic sword technique is divided into sixty-four styles in total, and each style has one hundred and eight variations of moves. Each move is a set of moves, closely linked to the chain, ever-changing, strange and ruthless, and invincible to anyone who blocks it.
Lin Guozhi relied on this sword technique to defeat all the invincible opponents in the world; after A Fei learned this sword technique, he soon became a top master, so that Li Xunhuan could only dodge, but could not resist.
In comparison, Li Xunhuan was able to fight with Guo Songyang, who ranked fourth in the weapons list, even if they didn't use flying knives.
Therefore, Xiang Nan believes that once this set of sword skills is mastered, its power will not be inferior to the Xuan Bing Divine Palm, Qian Kun's First Finger and other unique skills.
It’s just that it’s not easy to practice this sword technique.
First, to practice this sword technique, you need to nourish the sword with blood. Lin Guozhi's magic sword is called the magic sword for this reason.
If you want the sword to be more powerful, you must keep killing people. The more people you kill and the more powerful you kill, the stronger the magic sword will be. Such practice is really evil, so it is called the magic sword.
Lin Guozhi once relied on this sword to defeat invincible opponents in the world. It was quite powerful. As a result, he killed many martial arts colleagues and caused a lot of hatred, so that the Demon Sword Sect was destroyed.
Second, to practice the magic sword, one must be a virgin. Once it passes through human affairs, the power of the magic sword will be greatly reduced.
It is precisely because of these two reasons that although Xiang Nan had obtained the magic sword secret manual from Lin Shiyin from the beginning, he never started practicing it.
He can neither kill people like hemp and nourish his sword with blood, nor will he choose to be a spinster all his life just to practice martial arts.
However, he has always admired the power of the magic sword, so over the years he has been constantly thinking of ways to solve the two major problems in practicing the magic sword.
…
The so-called hard work pays off.
After several years of exploration, Xiang Nan finally found a way to overcome the two major difficulties in practicing the magic sword.
The reason why the magic knife needs to feed on human blood is actually not because the magic knife can **** human blood, but because through constant killing, the person holding the knife will gradually lose their humanity and fall into the devil's path.
A knife is a knife, and there is no distinction between good and evil. But people are different. The more ruthless and unfaithful the person is, the more ruthless, sinister and ruthless his attacks will be, and the more powerful he will be able to exert the power of the magic sword.
In the end, man and sword become one, man is the sword, and the sword is the man. Man becomes the slave of the sword, and the sword becomes the soul of the man. At this level, there are few opponents in the world.
In the novel "The Sentimental Swordsman, the Ruthless Sword", when Shangguan Jinhong and Li Xunhuan were fighting and discussing the realm of martial arts, they both believed that they had realized that "without a sword in the hand, but with a sword in the heart" is the pinnacle of martial arts. "Sword" does not only refer to swords, but refers to all weapons in general.
But Tianji old man Sun Baifa said that they were still far away from the peak of martial arts.
“There is no sword in the hand, but there is a sword in the heart” is not the highest state. On the next level, there are also "There is no sword in the hand, there is no sword in the heart", "I am the sword, the sword is me", which barely touches the edge of the peak.
The pinnacle of martial arts is "no one has a self, and things and myself are forgotten." This has reached the realm of immortals and Buddhas, enough to be invincible in the world.
It can be seen that the realm described in Gu Long’s martial arts novels is several levels higher than the realm described in Jin Yong’s martial arts novels.
In Jin Yong’s martial arts novels, the highest realm is the swordless realm of being alone and seeking defeat. As for the swordless state, in Gu Long's martial arts novels, it is still far from the highest state.
However, there is no direct connection between realm and actual combat.
Xiang Nan's current state can actually barely reach the highest state of "no one has me, everything and I are forgotten". After all, he inherited Li Mubai’s monastic realm and was just a little bit close to passing away eternally and attaining Taoism and liberation.
But that is a state that can only be achieved through seclusion and hard work. When it's time to compete with others, life and death are on the line, and it's inevitable to have a sense of gain and loss, and it won't be so empty.
Hence, the state he can achieve in a real martial arts competition is, as Li Xunhuan said, "There is no sword in the hand, but there is a sword in the heart."
And controlling the magic sword in such a state, although it cannot bring out the full power of the magic sword, it is enough to rarely encounter opponents.
…
As for the fact that the magic sword requires a virgin body, it is because the magic sword has strange magic. When used, people will gradually enter the devil's path, which will give rise to all kinds of charming and evil thoughts.
If you are a virgin and have not been treated by anyone, you can still suppress evil thoughts. But if it lasts for a long time and has evil thoughts, it will burn the body and make it difficult to control itself.
It is somewhat similar to the "Holy Fire Order Divine Skill" practiced by Zhang Wuji and the "Blue Sea Tide Music" created by Huang Yaoshi.
The reason why the Demon Sword got its name is partly due to this.
However, Xiang Nan also has a way to overcome this difficulty.
As long as you use the magic sword, you can bring your heart back to its original state and cut off your desires.
Achieving this point is not difficult for Xiang Nan.
Once he learned the Quanzhen sect's inner strength, it had a very good effect on calming the mind and calming the soul. When you practice to a high level, you will not hear or see the thunder and lightning, the water and the landslide.
Secondly, he has a demon pestle to protect himself. This treasure also has the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind, which can help him get rid of selfish thoughts;
Three times, he learned the magical power of "Requiem for the Soul" from the Five Thunder Hall in Longhu Mountain. This is a magical power at the level of cultivating immortals, it is really no small matter. No matter how confused and confused you are, you can still find peace in a moment by using this magical power.
In the past four years, he has learned a lot of ancient seals and spells in the world of "The Holy Gambler", among which the nine Taoist spells also have the effect of calming the mind and concentration.
With so many abilities to get rid of distracting thoughts, Xiang Nan is naturally able to use the magic sword.
After learning the magic sword, his strength also increased a bit.
…
In the past few years, Long Xiaoyun's reputation has become more and more famous.
Not only did he act chivalrously, **** the strong and help the weak, and help those in need, many scum in the world died under his sword. Such as the flower-picking thief Miao Langjun Hua Feng, the murderous Kantung Five Tigers, the Shaolin traitor Monk Tietan, the smiling poisonous man Zhuge Huai, etc.
And make friends and build good relationships. Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Huashan, Beggar Clan, Renyi Villa, Wuzheng Villa, Toubi Villa, Jinxiu Villa and many other famous sects and martial arts families have become good friends with him.
As a result, Long Xiaoyun's reputation became more and more famous, and his status in the world became higher and higher. Everyone in the martial arts community respectfully called him "Fourth Master Long".
Although his martial arts is not very high, he has already achieved a huge reputation in the world, which is no worse than his reputation as Xiao Li Feidao.
When Xiang Nan learned about this, he also secretly admired Long Xiaoyun's ability to pretend.
He is obviously full of intrigues, male thieves and female prostitutes, but he can still pretend to be sanctimonious and benevolent. He is indeed a good actor.
