Chapter 4338 Chapter 4340 [Cihang Sword Code]
That night, Xiang Nan secretly used the time converter and came to Cihang Jingzhai's Sutra Collection Pavilion alone. He hoped to find Cihang Jingzhai's secret book "Cihang Sword Code".
The "Cihang Sword Code" in the original novel is a martial art created by Dini, the founder of Cihang Jingzhai, after reading the "Random Thoughts on the Demonic Way" written by Xie Tiao, the first evil emperor of the Demon Sect.
Therefore, it can be said that Cihang Jingzhai and Momen are actually from the same lineage.
It is said that practicing the "Cihang Sword Code" can be the same as practicing the "Illustrated Book of the God of War", "Secret of Immortality", "Heavenly Demon Strategy", etc., and can achieve the state of shattering the void and ascending in the daytime.
But it is a pity that "Random Thoughts on the Magic Way" was written by Xie Tiaokan in the "Illustrated Records of the God of War" left behind by his predecessors. Compared with seeing "The God of War Catalog" directly, it is already a discount.
Dini also realized the "Cihang Sword Code" on the basis of "Random Thoughts on the Magic Way", which was further discounted from the original "Illustrated Book of the God of War".
Therefore, although "Cihang Sword Code" is ranked among the four great magical arts together with "Illustration of the God of War", "Secret of Immortality", and "Heavenly Demon Strategy", it is actually a little behind.
Cihang Jingzhai's disciples have never been able to break the void and soar in the daytime.
The origin of the drama version of "Cihang Sword Code" is not clearly stated.
But it's not too powerful in terms of power.
Even if Master Fei Xuan reaches the highest level of "Cihang Sword Code" and combined with the strength of Xu Ziling and the two, she is still no match for the evil king Shi Zhixuan who has mastered "The Seal of Immortality".
Of course, since Shi Zhixuan's "Seal of Immortality" is too evil, Xiang Nan really doesn't want to practice it, so "Cihang Sword Code" is a good substitute.
…
After Xiang Nan arrived at the Sutra Pavilion, he saw that the Sutra Pavilion was heavily guarded.
In addition to Master Yiyun who is guarding the gate of the Sutra Pavilion, there are many disciples guarding each floor. In addition, there are also mechanisms inside to firmly preserve the classic secrets.
But Xiang Nan is not afraid. On the one hand, he has the ability to escape from the earth and the body illusion spell, so he will not be seen at all. On the other hand, he is also a master of traps. Even if there are many traps in the Sutra Pavilion, it is difficult to prevent them. Live his.
Therefore, when Xiang Nan entered the Sutra Pavilion, it was almost like entering a deserted place.
I saw that there were indeed many books collected in the Sutra Pavilion, but most of them were Buddhist classics.
Although Cihang Jingzhai is not a nunnery, it is like a monk, eating fast, chanting Buddha's name, and meditating, so Buddhist scriptures are naturally indispensable.
In addition to Buddhist scriptures, there are also medical books, historical books, Confucian and Taoist classics, etc.
In fact, during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the merger of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism had already begun to take shape. Although Cihang Jingzhai burns incense and worships Buddha, it is not a nunnery. It is not surprising that it has Taoist and Confucian classics.
However, these books are not what Xiang Nan wants. What he wants is Cihang Jingzhai's martial arts secrets.
Therefore, after Xiang Nan searched the Sutra Pavilion to no avail, he finally decided to use his "clairvoyance" to take a good look at the Sutra Pavilion. Check to see if there are any secret rooms, secret boxes or secret doors that you haven't discovered yet.
After looking at it this way, Xiang Nan finally discovered something.
It turns out that Cihang Jingzhai’s martial arts secrets were hidden in the futon where Master Yiyun meditated.
And no one would have thought that when they broke into the Sutra Pavilion to grab the secret book, the secret book was actually in the futon at the entrance of the Sutra Pavilion.
This is dark under the lamp. …
Xiang Nan then waved his hand, and Master Yiyun suddenly stood up and walked out.
Xiang Nan took the opportunity to cast a copying spell, made a copy of the futon, left it in place, and took away the original futon.
Follow him quietly back to the room, tear open the futon, and take out the two secret books collected in it. One of them is the "Bird Crossing Technique" passed down by Shi Feixuan before, and the other one is the secret book of Cihang Jingzhai Town Sect. Code "Cihang Sword Code".
It turns out that "Cihang Sword Code" itself already includes internal skills and sword techniques, while "Niaodu Shu" includes light skills and body techniques. These two are already extremely magical skills, so they don't need to practice other martial arts, they are enough to roam the world, and it is difficult to encounter opponents.
Xiang Nan had already been taught the "Bird Crossing Technique" by his master Fei Xuan, and now when he looked at the secret book, he found that she had indeed taught her everything and had not concealed it, so he was very grateful.
Later, Xiang Nan looked at the "Cihang Sword Code" and saw that there were thirteen chapters in the sword code, mainly focusing on the four-character mental methods of "quiet", "shou", "empty" and "nothing", emphasizing the intangible meaning. Drive the visible sword. The sword moves at will, the mind moves with the heart, and the sword's heart is clear, so it can go anywhere naturally.
Xiang Nan was also greatly inspired after reading it.
In fact, he can be regarded as an expert in swordsmanship. He knows many swordsmanship, such as Tai Chi swordsmanship, water-proofing swordsmanship, Xuantie swordsmanship, Dugu nine swordsmanship, Xuanfei swordsmanship, Xie family swordsmanship, and the fifteen deadly swordsmanship. etc.
In terms of swordsmanship, he can be called a peerless master.
But the strongest swordsmanship he practiced was Yan Shisan's "Fifteen Deadly Swords". This is a sword technique that is sure to kill with one move. Once the sword is thrust out, it will return only after seeing blood.
But "Fifteen Deadly Swords" still has moves, and the swordsmanship with moves will be cracked, so "Fifteen Deadly Swords" was eventually broken by both Xie Xiaofeng and Ding Peng.
Xiang Nan also knows that when you practice swordsmanship to the end, you will master your swordsmanship. It's just that sword moves are easy to practice, but sword intention is difficult to practice.
How many swordsmen spend their entire lives unable to develop their own sword intent, or even realize this realm.
Although Xiang Nan's internal strength has greatly improved since "Little Fish and Flowers" and "No. 1 in the World", and he has learned many high-level martial arts, he has stopped at swordsmanship for a long time.
So far, his swordsmanship is still in the realm of "no sword in hand and no sword in heart".
But Xiang Nan knew that this was not the highest level.
In the same way as Zen martial arts, according to the famous "Ten Cows Picture" of Zen Buddhism, the ten realms of practice are: finding cows, seeing traces, seeing cows, getting cows, herding cows, riding cows home, forgetting cows and saving people, and both people and cows. Forget, return to the original, and drop your hands in the trash.
The same is true for swordsmanship.
When a swordsman learns swordsmanship, he or she "finds the bull", and after getting started, he or she "sees the traces". To learn a sword skill is to "see the bull". To practice it thoroughly and to be able to use it at will is to "get the bull" and to be able to distinguish one from the other. To be clever, to bring forth the old and bring out the new is to "herd the cows", to have a successful family, to be able to conquer the world is to "ride the bull home".
When a general swordsman reaches this level, he is already unrivaled in the world.
And "forgetting the cow but saving the man" actually means "no sword in the hand, but there is a sword in the heart"; "forgetting both the man and the cow" means "no sword in the hand, but also no sword in the heart."
On top of that, there are two realms: "returning to one's origins" and "throwing one's hands down when one is in trouble".
Xiang Nan never realized it, but now after reading "Cihang Sword Code", he suddenly realized it.
The so-called "returning to the origin" means "vacuum without form", which is not the same as the "quietness, abidance, emptiness, and nothingness" advocated in "Cihang Sword Code", but at least it gave him a way to understand.
"That's it." Xiang Nan nodded, then put the two books back on the futon, restored the futon, and put it back in the Sutra Pavilion again.
