How did this guy know about the Blood Sea Method?
Her mind suddenly turned, and she immediately recalled that the other party had mentioned the Blood Sea Method in her previous life... She almost forgot that there were people in the world who knew the Blood Sea Method.
And the magic she used in Jianchang City seemed to have been recognized by this person.
The girl pursed her lips and her fingertips subconsciously touched the hilt of the sword at her waist.
When Xi Heng heard this question, his first thought was to silence the person.
But the next moment, she realized that she could not beat the other party, so she put her finger down.
Seeing Guo Zhengwo's half-closed eyes, Xi Heng knew that he could not hide anything even if he lied - warriors can detect the other party's thoughts through subtle movements, and it is difficult to deceive.
"I did it," she admitted.
Guo Zhengwo nodded, untied the bag on his back, and took out a book with an old and simple cover:
"Please take it and copy it, and return it here in three days. Try not to let others read it."
"Eh?"
Xi Heng didn't expect the other party to have such an attitude, and couldn't help asking: "The entire martial arts world is looking for the blood demon, you have no hostility towards me?"
If the roles were reversed, she would definitely draw her sword.
This kind of unreasonable kindness made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Your Highness is the princess of the Great Zhao. It is your duty to kill the Tianliang rebels. Although you used evil methods to create a horrifying scene, this is a matter between the court and the rebels. What reason do I have to interfere?"
The other party shook his head: "I just want to know who has the Blood Sea Technique now."
"Oh..." Xi Heng probably understood.
"But, Your Highness, please do not let this evil magic change your mind and lead you to cruel and killing people. You must keep in your heart the ambition of world peace that you just mentioned, otherwise there will be retribution in the end." The other party said in a serious tone.
Xi Heng was not so serious. He nodded casually, then took the Jingtao Sword Technique from the other party and opened it to take a look.
The pale moonlight shone on the old hemp paper of the book. The girl read the words at a glance. After just a few pages, she had more ideas in her mind.
This "Bi Bo Jing Tao Sword Technique" is no longer a fragmentary set of moves like the Qimie Sword Technique. Several levels of mental techniques and moves are all complete. It is also not as difficult to understand as the Heluo Yulong Sword Technique, which requires knowledge of astrology, mathematics, etc. to understand.
"The Jingtao Sword Technique emphasizes the word 'layering'," the old man beside him explained casually:
"The swordsman's strength is stacked one on top of another, and the more he swings the sword, the stronger it becomes. It is not like other sword techniques where every move bursts out with strength, but it can retain the energy and strength within the moves, so that it overlaps into a force of ten thousand pounds. The momentum is as turbulent as a tidal wave, like a huge wave washing away the sand, one layer after another, so it is named 'Blue Waves'."
"When the sword moves are stacked, even a strong person who has practiced physical body horizontal training can't take it head-on."
Xi Heng nodded and quickly flipped through a dozen pages. She found out that this sword technique was extremely powerful. It also emphasized skill and speed, and even had many defensive moves. Compared with the Bloodline Sword Technique, it had almost no flaws. She even wanted to start over from scratch.
However, the sword intent of this sword technique is very different from the Bloodline Sword Technique. If I practice it again, I will probably die from the evil spirit and blood attacking my heart. I don't know how many times I will have to die before I can practice it completely again...
Moreover, after the reconstruction, his sword intent was damaged and had to be re-cultivated. Xi Heng did not want to give up his current blood-line sword intent, so he still planned to follow the original plan.
A few minutes later, she slowly closed the secret book in her hand and simply thanked the old man beside her.
"You are welcome, Princess." Guo Zhengwo took a half step back and said, "I will not disturb you any more. I will say goodbye here today."
Xi Heng had just nodded when he saw the other person's figure flash by, quickly leaping to the eaves of a tiled house nearby, and then turning into a gray streak and disappearing in an instant.
"This Qinggong is really fast...it's worthy of being called Huajin."
The girl turned around and looked at the secret book in her hand, and asked, "When can I become a Hua Jin?"
"Let's go back."
Xi Heng also jumped high, leaving behind a silent and dilapidated courtyard.
In the yard, a dozen children felt relieved when they saw her finally leave.
The three bodies on the ground were still bleeding, and most of the children looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
Only the young child who was just called Yun Gou'er, who was only two or three years old, looked at the place where the two flying warriors disappeared, with obvious envy in his eyes.
He stretched out his soft little hands and grabbed at the air again and again.
……
Xi Heng returned to the restaurant and, under the guidance of the owner, came to the room he had booked for three days.
He walked past the round table, round stools, mirror table and basin, and sat on the long desk behind the open window. He placed the martial arts secret book he brought back on the desk and opened it.
Three hours passed after sitting there.
"So that's how it is...it's really exquisite." Xi Heng read it several times and couldn't help but sigh.
This "Bi Bo Jing Tao Sword Technique" is obviously more complete and useful than the vague fragments of the "Qianmie Sword Technique".
There are five levels of swordsmanship, including two levels of obvious force, two levels of dark force, and one level of transformation force.
There are two levels of Ming Jin: 'Tornado Jin' and 'Whirlpool Jin'. The former is the method of layering strength that Guo Zhengwo just mentioned. After learning it, you can use a subtle order of blood flow to overlap the powerful strength and blood in the sword moves. Although some of it will leak out, as long as the moves continue, each move will become more and more powerful and rapid, and gradually become unstoppable.
If a warrior of the same level who is fighting against the Jingtao Sword Technique continues to defend and dodge according to common sense under the endless sword technique, there will be only two possible results in the end - either the Jingtao Sword Technique warrior's energy and blood will be used up, or he will be directly killed by the increasingly powerful force along the way.
"Faced with a Jingtao Sword warrior whose strength is almost the same, once we lose the initiative, we will definitely die..." Xi Heng saw.
The 'vortex force' that comes after is a clever force that uses the opponent's force to counter attack, just like Tai Chi. It can use less force to take on the enemy's moves between attack and defense, and use this force to counterattack. It is a very powerful defensive counterattack method.
After learning the dark power, there are two more things to learn: the 'vortex power' and the 'flowing power'. The former is a defensive move that can use borrowed power for defense. The more the opponent hits, the stronger your defense will be.
The Tangliu force is a soft force. In close combat, the sword is turned into a palm directly, and the enemy's meridians are broken with subtle hidden force. One hit can destroy the enemy's martial arts.
The final dripping force is an indestructible and powerful move. It gathers the accumulated power of the Jingtao sword technique into one point. With one blow, it can directly pierce through even a solid wall. It is the most terrifying killing move in the Jingtao sword technique. It is extremely fast and powerful, can be used at close or far distance, and is hard to defend against.
Generally, the outcome can be determined directly as soon as the water-dripping force is released.
Xi Heng took a look and couldn't help but sigh at the strength of this martial art.
This sword technique is probably one of the best among all the martial arts that use Hua Jin.
The Dragon Palm and Tiangang Boy's Kung Fu that she had read about before did not make her feel so out of reach.
The Bloodline Sword Technique that he had learned was really not on the same level as this Shocking Waves Sword Technique.
If a Ming Jin warrior of the Bloodline Sword were to fight a warrior of the Shocking Wave Sword in a one-on-one duel, the chance of winning might be less than 10%.
"However...these five kinds of strength are extremely complex and difficult to cultivate. To practice the first level, one needs to immerse oneself in the sea for several minutes. If one is not careful, one will drown."
"After that, you need to practice sword skills underwater. I'm afraid only one in a hundred people will be able to maintain a healthy body after completing the training." Xi Heng shook his head.
From this perspective, the Bloodline Sword, which can be practiced without any special training methods, does have some advantages.
Looking further ahead is the method of transforming strength in Jingtao Sword Technique - the warrior must combine the four forces in the body into one, and condense the most powerful dripping force in the cold sea water. When it is practiced, the dark force and the bright force in the body will naturally combine into one, and the protective strength will be achieved.
"The previous several kinds of strength are developed step by step, and finally slowly blended into the dripping water strength...and once the dripping water strength is developed, the transforming strength will be achieved. Maybe the dripping water strength is related to the transforming strength." Xi Heng whispered to himself, thinking slowly.
"Perhaps there is a special method of training strength in this Jingtao Sword Technique, which can gradually transform the bright and dark strength into the transformed strength, without having to rely on another internal force to forcibly gather it like other transformed strength martial arts."
"The surging force is to retain some of the force in the body, the vortex force is to borrow the enemy's force and hit it out, the trapped vortex force is to transform the received force into one's own defensive force, and the flowing force is to hit one's own force into the enemy's meridians, causing them to become unstable and expand and explode."
Xi Heng understood a little: "First, retain your own strength, and then receive the strength from the outside world... When the strength is completely controlled, no matter what kind of strength it is, it will be gathered into one point, and the dark and bright strengths will naturally overlap, and then you will achieve the transformation of strength."
"What a genius... Who created this martial art?"
Xi Heng turned to the last page, but did not see a name. The cover was after the martial arts.
"Tsk."
She read it again reluctantly. When she heard the night watchman's ringing outside at midnight, Xi Heng looked up at the bright moon in the sky, then folded the secret book in her hands and put it in a safe place.
Feeling a little sleepy, she went back to the basin, washed up briefly, and fell asleep.
……
Over the next three days, Xi Heng copied the sword-fighting secret book word for word, and ordered the few dishes in the restaurant every day. At the same time, he read the sword-fighting secret book over and over again until he had memorized it completely.
I got up, read and took notes, ate, read again and went to sleep. Three whole days passed like this.
On the last day, Xi Heng saw that it was getting dark. He pressed his swollen temples, then took the secret book and left the restaurant.
Not long after, she returned to the gate of the dilapidated courtyard, wearing a veiled hat, leaning against the wall, quietly waiting for the other party to come.
The group of children still lived in this small courtyard. From time to time, vague and childish shouts could be heard, as well as the hoarse voices of some old people. Xi Heng was far away and there were several walls between them, so he couldn't hear clearly what they were saying.
But after a stick of incense, a kind-looking old man came out from the tile-roofed house in the courtyard, leading many children and talking and laughing with them.
"Grandpa, you always say that you want to be a good person, but how do you become a good person?" a child asked.
"When interacting with others, every word and every action should be beneficial to others, and then you are a good person...Good people are admired like phoenixes and treasured like ginseng. They will be blessed by heaven and earth and obeyed by ghosts and gods. Only then can good people enjoy many blessings."
Guo Zheng reached out and rubbed the child's head, speaking softly.
His attitude towards these mentally retarded children was many times better than his attitude towards anyone else.
Outside the courtyard, Xi Heng listened and shook her head slightly. She felt that no matter what era, good people were more likely to be wronged than bad people.
This is especially true in today's chaotic world.
The children in this yard today can’t even solve the problem of eating and sleeping every day and don’t know how to survive. Yet this old man wants to teach them to do good deeds. That is really a bit pedantic.
Although she thought so in her heart, these were all unimportant things to her, so Xi Heng ignored them.
When she saw Guo Zhengwo approaching, she appeared from the courtyard gate and took out the secret book of Jingtao swordsmanship from the package around her waist.
"Mr. Guo, I'm here to return this book as agreed." Xi Heng handed over the old book in his hand.
The other party nodded and took it, put the book into the bag on his waist, and asked, "Where are you going next, Your Highness?"
"After that?" Xi Heng thought for a moment and said:
"After reading Jingtao Sword Technique, I have some new ideas for deducing the Bloodline Sword Technique, but it is not perfect yet. I should continue to look for other Huajin martial arts...Does Mr. Guo have any suggestions?"
"It's not really a suggestion, but I have an old acquaintance in Jinghong Sword Sect, her name is Liu Feiyi, she also tried to deduce martial arts in the past, maybe she can help Your Highness."
Xi Heng had heard of the reputation of Jinghong Sword and knew that this was a major sect standing on the top of a mountain, representing one of the righteous martial arts sects.
However, she didn't have a good impression of this sword school.
In the third life, Zhang Luoyi, who came to find her with the jade pendant, was the foreign leader of the Jinghong Sword Sect and had opposed her twice.
Moreover, during the time Xi Heng had been with Senior Sister Hong Miao, he had also learned some stories about the Bloodline Sword Sect.
Among the martial arts sects that finally joined forces to attack the Bloodline Sword Sect, there was the Jinghong Sword Sect.
"If there is a chance, I'll go there." Xi Heng simply responded.
"Where will Mr. Guo go from now on?"
“Hehe…” Guo Zhengwo stroked his dry white beard and replied, “I have decided to accept this child named Yun Xiao as my apprentice. He is talented, has a good physique, and has a sincere heart. He is truly excellent… In the future, I will retire to a small bamboo hut in the nameless mountain, go fishing and grow vegetables every day, and teach my apprentice.”
"Congratulations, senior." Xi Heng clasped his fists casually and said, "See you in the future."
"See you in the rivers and lakes?" The other party laughed a few times and said, "My life span is short. The next time Her Highness meets the princess, it may not be me but my little disciple."
"Senior is open-minded." The girl simply agreed and then left.
The old man in the courtyard looked at her back as she disappeared into the darkness. His smile gradually faded and he looked thoughtful:
"This person has a strong murderous aura, which is also mixed with the royal dragon aura... If he can become a king in the future, he will definitely do something great."
"There is still some hope for Great Zhao now."
……
The next day, Xi Heng checked out of the hotel and left. He got on a brown horse and walked out of Jinshi with a copy of the sword technique.
It is easy to enter the city, but it is quite difficult to leave the city.
The guards at the city gate asked what they had done in the past few days, and then took out a few wanted warrants and asked if they had seen these people. They also asked for a few taels of silver before allowing them to leave.
If Xi Heng herself had not been completely focused on practicing the Red Line Sword Technique and was unwilling to pay attention to these trivial matters, she would have drawn her sword and killed all the guards at the city gate who were checking around, and then rode away on her horse.
Xi Heng pouted and left Jinshi, planning not to come to this shabby place again.
As long as Tianliang occupies the city, the city will not be well.
"Let's go back to Jiangning first..."
While riding on the horse, the girl kept holding a copy of the Jingtao Sword Technique and looking at it intently, continuing to interpret the method of training strength in it.
“To practice Jin, you need to immerse your body and mind in water, and slowly draw back the Jin in a state where the power is blocked… In this way, you will gradually understand the operation of Jin.”
"The purpose of this practice is to control strength, just like muscle strength. It is not exclusive to a single martial art. Any martial artist can practice it."
The ascetic monk from the Bone Refining Forest that I met when I was assassinating General Tianliang with my senior sister was a person who specialized in muscle and bone strength.
Although Xi Heng's Red Line Sword focuses on sword techniques, he can also use the strength of bones and muscles and the Jingtao Sword's power training method as a supplementary training, which can increase his own strength several times and make the use of strength more sophisticated.
"If there is a method to transform strength in the Bone Tempering Forest, it must be based on the strength of the tendons and bones... There is obviously more than one way to improve the strength of transformation."
