Chapter 198: Cultivating both life and soul, and mastering swordsmanship quickly
Refreshing!

Li Rui strode open the door with his head held high, an air of victory emanating from him.

"If you can't beat Jiang Linxian, can't you kill Gao Zhen?"

Not bad.

In his dream, he killed Gao Zhen, who was already dead, more than twenty times.

no way.

Dreams can only simulate the masters you have seen.

People cannot dream beyond their own cognition.

Li Rui had seen Ning Zhongtian and Gao Zhen, two sixth-grade masters, take action before, and he knew Gao Zhen better, so he became the best target.

"Three hours of enlightenment and one hour of actual combat, this is just right."

To create your own martial arts, besides racking your brains and thinking hard, you also need to supplement it with actual combat.

exactly.

There is both of these in the dream.

After practicing all night yesterday, Li Rui already had some vague ideas.

"To cultivate both the body and soul is the right path!"

This principle has actually been discussed in the Taoist scriptures that Li Rui studied.

Cultivate both nature and life, the so-called nature and life.

"Nature, the nature of the people, the nature of life, in ancient times, was all life, not from women, not from the heart, but was changed by later generations, and is the basis of life."

"What is nature? It is the original true nature, the one spirit that shines brightly. What is destiny? It is the innate essence, the one energy that lingers."

Therefore, to cultivate both nature and life is to cultivate both the spirit and the body.

To put it simply, you cannot just think about cultivating Qi, you also need to train your body. Otherwise, if your Qi is strong but your body is weak, your spirit and form will become unbalanced, making it difficult to achieve great success.

It is impossible to become a great immortal just by sitting still and cultivating true qi, especially in an age when spiritual energy is exhausted.

There are no longer those old Taoist priests living in the deep mountains, whose fists are so heavy and whose bodies are full of muscular muscles when they take off their clothes.

The way is:
“No matter how you realize the true nature, you will inevitably abandon the body and return to the body; when will you also practice the great medicine and suddenly transcend the leakless and become a true person?”

This is the reason.

Li Rui first cultivated his life and then his nature. Now he has finally gained enlightenment and is cultivating both his life and nature.

Some people may ask why not practice both sex and life from the beginning.

Easier said than done.

Practicing martial arts does not mean you will truly understand it just because your master tells you or explains the techniques. Even if you tell yourself that you understand, you actually still don’t understand. Only when you practice and realize it yourself, can you truly understand it.

Just like Li Rui shared his insights into martial arts with his three disciples every day.

But those insights are ultimately his, not Liang He and the other two's. Ultimately, one has to figure them out on his own.

Li Rui also had to comprehend the realm step by step in order to transform what he learned in the book into his own.

"The Tao can be Tao, but it is very Tao; the name can be named, but it is very famous."

In fact, our ancestors have already explained the truth, but cultivation still depends on the individual.

Li Rui picked up the unsharpened standard long sword that he used for morning exercises and which was leaning against a big tree in the garden.

In an instant, the knife flashed.

The fine, dense, and overlapping knife nets instantly wrapped Li Rui tightly, making it impossible to get through.

Several people in the room heard the noise outside.

They all pushed the door open and walked out.

"Master, this sword technique."

Liang He and the other two all knew martial arts, so they could naturally see how powerful Li Rui's swordsmanship was.

Staring with eyes wide open.

Every move and every style can be changed as desired.

They are all martial artists of certain rank now, and they all practice swordplay, so naturally they can see some advanced swordplay techniques.

But I heard Li Rui murmur in a low voice:

"Not enough, not enough, not enough!"

The strong wind suddenly stopped.

The long sword stopped when it was ordered to stop, and all the movements depended on Li Rui's thoughts.

The three of Lianghe looked at each other.

"Isn't that enough?"

Master is truly invincible!

The three of them admired Li Rui even more at once.

Li Rui closed his eyes, stood quietly with the knife in his hand, and recalled Gao Zhen's swordsmanship in his mind, especially the sword net.

Gao Zhen was killed by him, but that doesn't mean Gao Zhen's martial arts have no merits.

At least the swordsmanship is worth Li Rui's study.

The Gao family is famous for their swordsmanship. Li Rui was able to kill Gao Zhen because he used his aura to suppress him. In terms of moves alone, he is actually not as good as Gao Zhen.

we can even say.

Bai Yuan Pi Dao's swordsmanship is considered top-notch in Huaqing Sect, but if you look at the Yu Kingdom, it can only be considered average.

Since we are cultivating both inside and outside, the external skills naturally cannot be neglected.

"Practice your sword!"

Outside the official road, there is an official pavilion.

The two teams stood outside the reception pavilion, clearly separated from each other with a gap three feet long in between.

Cao Wei and Zhuang Renhe were the team leaders, standing on the left and right respectively.

Behind him were officials from Anning Guard and Qinghe County Yamen.

"Master Zhuang is really well-informed."

Cao Wei looked at Zhuang Renhe with a smile.

Zhuang Renhe laughed and said, "Master Cao, you are too kind. It's just that I have an old relationship with Shenbing Villa. My old friend told me about it, so I had to come. I didn't expect to run into Master Cao."

Having said that, he had no intention of giving in.

"Old friend"

Cao Wei stopped talking, but his expression did not look good.

He and Zhuang Renhe had worked together for a period of time, but that was because they had a common enemy, Jiang Linxian.

But apart from Jiang Linxian, he and Zhuang Renhe actually had no friendship at all.

It's just a show in officialdom.

The relationship between the lieutenant general and the military officer is not good, but in fact, the relationship between him and the local county magistrate, prefectural magistrate, and even state magistrate cannot be very good.

This was the result of a deliberate design by the imperial court.

If the three parties were to get along harmoniously, it would make the imperial court uneasy.

Rebellion is so easy.

Therefore, the secret guards of the imperial court would even count those local officials who were too close to the military officers. If they were too close, they would even be reprimanded by the emperor and immediately transferred.

He came to the reception pavilion early today to wait for the Divine Weapon Villa mentioned by Zhuang Renhe.

Shenbing Villa is a famous clan in Yunzhou.

He once even served as a general.

The current General Xue of the Annan Army was once a soldier led by the former general of Shenbing Villa. He has a close relationship with his superior, so Cao Wei naturally dare not neglect him.

Not everyone can be called a big shot.

At least Ming Guangzong and Qingfeng Villa are not qualified.

Only the Huaqing Sect can barely be considered a major sect.

The fame of Shenbing Villa in Yunzhou is even greater than that of Huaqing Sect.

Zhuang Renhe looked at Cao Wei and smiled: "Master Cao, why doesn't Master Jiang come?"

Cao Wei glanced at him and said, "Master Jiang is out on patrol, so why is Master Zhuang still concerned about the An Ning Guard?"

Zhuang Renhe laughed dryly.

Just as he was about to continue speaking, he saw a convoy approaching from a distance.

At first glance, I thought it was the Annan Army.

More than ten horses were all wearing heavy armor, and every step they took made the ground tremble.

Such a powerful heavy cavalry.

There are not many in Anningwei.

The heavy armor is made of magic iron, which is invulnerable to swords and spears, and is immune to water and fire. Once such a team charges on the battlefield, it can be as powerful as thousands of troops!
After a while.

Those heavily armored cavalrymen appeared in front of Cao Wei and Zhuang Renhe, guarding a giant chariot made entirely of black iron that shone coldly in the sun.

The giant chariot was made of at least several thousand kilograms of black iron, which caused thick grooves to form on the road surface.

Not to mention the cost, the craftsmanship alone is a huge expense.

No wonder it has to be pulled by eight demon horses.

"It's worthy of being called the Divine Weapon Villa."

In the entire Yunzhou, it is estimated that only the people in Shenbing Villa are willing to spend such a huge price to build this magnificent chariot.

From the word "divine weapon", it can be seen that Divine Weapon Villa is a rare martial arts sect that mainly focuses on forging weapons.

His achievement in weapon forging is unrivaled in Yunzhou.

It is even well-known throughout the entire Yu Kingdom. Nearly 30% of the weapons in Annan Town are made by Shenbing Villa.

Therefore, the relationship between the two sides is extremely close.

Like weapon forging and medicine refining, they are both highly profitable industries.

If we only compare family wealth, Shenbing Villa is even richer than Anning Mansion, and is regarded as the God of Wealth wherever he goes.

The heavy iron door creaked open and a strong middle-aged man with a sharp face and muscular body walked out of the carriage.

The middle-aged man glanced at Cao Wei and Zhuang Renhe:
"My Lords, I've been waiting for a long time."

Cao Wei and Zhuang Renhe laughed together: "Just arrived, please come in, Elder Shi!"

The middle-aged man in front of him was none other than Shi Zhou, the elder of Shenbing Villa.

A fifth-rank master can only be an elder.

Wow, look at the heritage of Shenbing Villa.

Shenbing Villa was originally located in Yunzhou and had close ties with Annan Town, so it obtained the approval of General Xue and became the first major clan to settle in Qinghe.

Shi Zhou smiled heartily: "I won't go home until I'm drunk tonight!"

talking.

He walked into the reception pavilion with Cao Wei and Zhuang Renhe.

The reception pavilion looks ordinary from the outside.

Once you walk in, you'll discover a whole new world.

The sky was filled with red curtains and lanterns hung high, illuminating the entire hall with a red glow that made people feel uneasy.

The zither player played music, and more than ten beautiful women danced in the center.

"Enjoy it, really enjoy it!"

Shi Zhou is not a pedantic person.

He comfortably hugged a beautiful girl's palm-sized waist and drank wine with a smile on his face.

Of course, he came to Qinghe with the mission of being the owner of Shenbing Villa.

If you want to get along well in Qinghe, you must have good relationships with Cao Wei and Zhuang Renhe.

Later in the night.

The three of them were then each supported by two girls and led into the inner room of the reception pavilion.

Just when the reception pavilion quieted down.

A slender and graceful figure appeared at the door of Zhuang Renhe's room.

A piece of paper was slipped through the crack in the door.

The man picked up the note.

"Jiang Linxian is out, leave quickly!"

An Ning Wei.

late at night.

All the lights in Li's house went out, and the house was shrouded in deep darkness.

Everyone fell into a deep sleep.

Li Ruihe was lying on the bed, his eyeballs moving regularly under his eyelids.

In a dream.

The clouds were misty and in the distance there were streaks of purple-gold light, making half of Li Rui's body look golden.

He sat cross-legged on a cloud with his eyes closed.

There was a faint flash of sword light all over his body, and the invisible sword intent surged, chopping the surrounding clouds and mist into pieces, and then gathering again, over and over again.

There was a knife on his knee.

It's not that it's hidden, it's just that it's so ordinary that it can't be more ordinary. You can see the standard barrier sword in any blacksmith shop.

gradually.

Li Rui's sword intent began to rise continuously, and he even muttered:

"The destiny goes against the universe, the swordsmanship is like a god, the dragon hides in the abyss, and the world is shocked when it roars."

"This sword is called the Wandering Dragon Six Cuts."

Just as he finished saying the word "kill", Li Rui's eyes suddenly opened, and the sword intent cut the clouds in front of him into two halves in an instant. There was a faint object in his pupils moving at the junction of black and white.

It’s Yinglong!

He slowly uttered a few words:

"The first move, Hidden Dragon, do not use it!"
