From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 238 Yubao Grants the Sword
Yubao was dressed in green silk clothes and stood in front of Li Yang with a calm expression. Li Yang didn't know how to deal with this female Taoist who suddenly came to his house, and the atmosphere was silent for a while.

"Wow! You little girl has no moral principles and actually attacked me from behind. I don't accept this! Come again!"

Zhao Ziyao rolled down the stone steps, spat out the grass leaves in his mouth, climbed up, saw Yubao, roared, and rushed up again.

It was such a shame and humiliation for her to be a Hua country Xiantian and the number one protector of Baiyun Mountain, but she was chopped down the stone steps by a guy of the same age with two swords!
"Chong"

"boom"

Then there was the sound of a heavy object rolling down the stone steps.

Yubao held the wooden sword in his hand, feeling a little puzzled, and then cast an inquiring look at Li Yang.

"You cheated! I don't accept it, take my sword again!"

"Chong"

"boom"

After several charges, seeing that Zhao Ziyao would roll to the mountainside if she continued, Li Yang took action and stopped the fight between the two.

Rather than saying it was a competition, it was more like Yubao's one-sided crushing...

Zhao Ziyao climbed up the mountain again. This heartless and cheerful beast of Baiyun Mountain was obviously hit hard and walked towards the back of the mountain in a daze.

Li Yang tried hard to suppress his smile. This guy had been taking advantage of the body of the innate puppet since he came up the mountain. He usually spent his time sleeping or slacking off. He and Chi Yanhong couldn't bring themselves to punish him, so they just used Yu Bao's sword to spur him on.

"Friend Li, the people of you on Baiyun Mountain are indeed... tenacious."

Yubao thought about it for a long time and finally chose the word "tenacious".

"Hey, come with me first."

After spurring Zhao Ziyao, how to deal with Yubao is still a thorny problem.

The two of them entered the main hall in front of the mountain one after the other. Zhu Ling and Wang Xin, who had already rushed over from the back mountain, knew that Yu Bao was not a troublemaker but a friend of Li Yang, so they brewed some tea from the dining hall.

"Master Yubao, your sudden visit without informing the various forces in advance is really a bit abrupt."

"Why do I have to report it?" Yu Bao's eyes were clear, as if he had no idea about this at all. "The purpose of cultivating the Tao is to cultivate a heart of Tao. I have no room for improvement in Yuanjun Temple, so I came to you to discuss the scriptures. Isn't this normal?"

"But you are still the master of the sword. Shouldn't you be guarding the sword?"

Yubao shook his head: "When they need me, I will rush back. As the sword master, the sword is secondary, and improving myself is the main thing."

Well, Li Yang finally understood that Yu Bao was determined to discuss Taoism and preach the scriptures with him in Baiyun Mountain.

What's more troublesome is that with Yu Bao's strength, Yuanjun Temple can't keep an eye on her at all. There is also a bug that the mountain-locking formation cannot select. If she is determined to come to Baiyun Mountain, Li Yang has no way to solve it for the time being.

He contacted Yuanjun Temple again. Instructor Ma handed the phone to Yubao before he even noticed that Yubao had run out. Sure enough, Instructor Ma couldn't persuade Yubao to leave and was even gradually convinced by Yubao.

"Well, you can stay in the wing room in the front mountain first, and we can discuss the Dao and scriptures later."

Faced with this simple female Taoist who was devoted to seeking the Dharma, Li Yang couldn't bear to drive her off the mountain.

"Thank you."

Yubao bowed and then followed Zhu Ling obediently to get familiar with the wing room.
"Just think of it as a guest staying for a few days." Li Yang had no choice but to comfort himself in this way.

Back in Yuchan Palace, Chi Yanhong had already finished copying the "Danniao Yuqi Jue" that he had obtained from refining the sword pill that day, and was binding and annotating it very carefully.

Li Yang also calmed down and began to copy the "Bixu Yuqi Jue" obtained from Wang Shuhuan's sword pill.

The night was silent. Li Yang did not expect that the troubles brought by Yubao were not limited to this.

The next morning, it was still six in the morning. The foul air that had accumulated in the mountains all night had not yet dissipated. When the intake and exhalation of lunar energy ended and Li Yang was about to go to the dining hall to have some breakfast, he heard the sound of swords clanging from the yard in the distance.

From the gate, a female Taoist priest in a green robe was practicing swordplay in the middle of the courtyard.
Even if Li Yang did not practice swordsmanship, he could see that Yu Bao's swordsmanship was definitely top-notch.

As a wooden sword circulated, it followed the Qi flow throughout the body. The spirit, intention, Qi and strength were integrated. The breathing was precise and natural, the movements were both hard and soft. It was active but not frivolous, heavy but not dull. Combined with the Taoist robe on Yubao, Li Yang felt as if he had traveled back to ancient times to watch a female knight.

"Good morning, Mr. Li."

Yubao wiped the sweat from his forehead, put away his sword, stood up, and nodded to Li Yang.

Yubao is an extremely traditional Taoist priest. He performs morning classes, chants scriptures, practices swordplay and meditates every morning, and generally gets up around 4:30 every day.

"Master Yubao's swordsmanship is as graceful as a startled swan and as bright as a swimming dragon. It has the demeanor of a master. No one in Baiyun Mountain can match your swordsmanship."

Li Yang felt emotional, remembering his aborted plan to teach swordsmanship.

Normal people would be polite when hearing this, be modest and compliment the other party, but Yubao's brain circuit obviously didn't have this kind of thinking. "Indeed." Yubao nodded: "But it doesn't matter, I can teach swordsmanship in Baiyun Temple these few days, just as a reward for my food and lodging."

"?" Li Yang swore to God that he was just complaining.

However, it is a good thing to have a master like Yubao teaching swordsmanship. Li Yang thought about it for a moment and agreed.

Yubao was very proactive. After getting Li Yang's approval, he took Zhao Ziyao, Zhu Ling and Wang Xin to the yard to practice swordplay at noon that day.

Zhao Ziyao was reluctant at first, but after being badly abused yesterday, she locked herself in the room and practiced meditation. Finally, she was persuaded by Wang Xin's words "learn from the barbarians in order to defeat them" and started practicing sword.

There are many techniques in swordsmanship, including pulling, carrying, lifting, blocking, hitting, stabbing, pointing, collapsing, stirring, pressing, chopping, intercepting, washing, clouding, hanging, lifting, chopping, picking, wiping, cutting, stabbing, and circling.

Zhu Ling, Wang Xin and the other two had never been exposed to sword fighting before, so Yu Bao started training them from the most basic horse stance and these sword fighting routines.

Yubao held up the wooden sword and spoke at a steady pace, but his words seemed to be engraved directly into the four people's minds:

"These twenty-two words are the foundation of the foundation. Although the theories and summaries of various schools are different, the effects of the moves are basically the same. I will teach you one first: Slash!"

At this time, Yubao changed into a set of training clothes with a tight waist. As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step with his right foot and swung the sword horizontally to the left, with the height between his head and shoulders. The force reached behind the sword body, and a force rose from his feet and rushed to his waist and abdomen.

And starting from the right shoulder, the strength suddenly surged, flowing along the arm to the sword, and then twisting the waist and swinging the sword:

laugh!
Zhu Ling and Wang Xin suddenly covered their ears, with a look of slight pain on their faces.

When the sword was slashed out, it rubbed against the air and made a sharp explosion sound. One could even clearly see that the air flow was rushing around the wooden sword blade, forming a distortion phenomenon like a flame heat wave.

What the hell!

The three of them looked at Yubao, who had a thin figure, and couldn't believe that the sword was swung by this female Taoist who looked like she wasn't even an adult yet.

Zhao Ziyao's reaction was the strongest. She was very sure that Yu Bao didn't use any spiritual energy at all when he used the sword just now!
After a brief moment of exclamation, Wang Xin could no longer contain his excitement and impulse, and was already imagining his cool and awesome life dressed in white and carrying a sword.

"..."

Yubao put away his sword expressionlessly and asked, "Tell me, what did you see just now?"

What?
Wang Xin was stunned for a moment. After reading it, he was just daydreaming and didn't think about anything else. He stammered and couldn't say anything.

"Well, although you are slashing with the sword, the point of force is not in the right hand holding the sword, but in the hand, eye, body, method, and step. During the movement, step on the nine palaces, combine the qi inside and the form outside."

Surprisingly, Zhu Ling spoke first.

"Well, that's good. You've made some efforts." Yubao nodded.

Before this, she had already distributed the internal techniques and basic theoretical knowledge, and it seemed that Zhu Ling was the only one who prepared carefully.

Zhu Ling continued, "And when you put away your sword just now, your footwork was still not back, it should be called Tai Chi waist, Bagua step, and you were still moving on to the next move."

Yubao was slightly surprised. Although she was teaching basic sword moves, with her sword master cultivation, even ordinary sword moves had many shadows of sword techniques. It could be seen that the sword moves were not yet complete, which was already very impressive. She had a unique understanding and understanding of these moves.

"Not bad!"

Yubao imitated Instructor Ma's tone of praise and turned sideways to look at Zhao Ziyao.

"Awesome!" Zhao Ziyao gave a thumbs up.

Yubao nodded, handed the wooden swords prepared by Li Yang to the three people, and said:

"Sword chopping requires the sword to be held horizontally to the left, at a height between the head and the shoulder, with the force reaching the blade, and the arm bent and stretched straight.

It is especially important to bend and straighten your arms. When people fight, their bodies, hands and feet all have flexion and extension joints... If you make a mistake, your movements will inevitably become stiff and reveal your flaws. To practice sword fighting, you must first practice your hands, body, eyes, and feet. This is the hard work you have been doing in private. Okay, take your swords and practice slashing with the sword first!"

After that, the three little ones officially began their practice.

The three men were different. Wang Xin looked careless, but he was actually quite meticulous. Although his foundation was not that good, he was compensated for it by the Seven Auxiliary Brewing, and he quickly mastered the skills.

Zhao Ziyao was only interested in learning as soon as possible and regaining his reputation, so he was impatient and chopped around with the wooden sword.

Although Zhu Ling was quite insightful, he was extremely cautious in his behavior and did not dare to overstep the line. After practicing for an afternoon, he was not even as good as Wang Xin and showed obvious signs of imitation.

However, no one knew that after the class, the person who benefited the most was actually Li Yang who was observing from the side.

At first, Li Yang thought that his moves were all based on sword energy, and he didn't need to practice swordsmanship or other close combat techniques.

But when he saw that Yubao could chop the sword with one hand and make a loud noise, he realized something.
Even if you are using sword energy against the enemy, you still need certain footwork, body movements and force-generating techniques.

He carefully read the information distributed by Yubao, and in one afternoon, he had learned most of the twenty-two basic sword moves.
