The game starts with escaping from the famine and flipping the table

Flowers fall in the world, and I don't know how many years I have been wandering in the sky. Half an inch of autumn frost makes the mountains white, and three parts of spring rain make everything fresh. The wind at the winter solstice withers the old trees, and the moon shines on the green lotus in summer. There is no way to pick up the ties of gratitude and hatred, who says that immortality is immortality?

Su Xiaoya now finally understood why those high and mighty immortals would choose to step into the mortal world and experience disasters.

It turns out that all the experiences in this world have an indescribable effect on tempering one's state of mind.

A cultivator with a legacy will not simply be obsessed with when he can perfect his cultivation and enter the immortal gate, thus transcending the mortal world and becoming one of the immortals.

Find your true self among the mountains and rivers, and give your tired soul a place to rest safely; in the various life scenes of the world, experience the tranquility that transcends the troubles of this world, and temper your state of mind bit by bit, so that your state of mind will become more complete, without any gaps.

After this profound epiphany, Su Xiaoya was pleasantly surprised to find that the benefits she had gained were beyond her imagination.

The profound and unfathomable "Chaos Five Elements Sword Art". Although she has not yet fully comprehended the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, she has only just touched the surface. Some of her thoughts are even very confusing. There is always a hazy feeling of seeing flowers in the fog, which is not clear enough.

However, this superficial understanding also helped her comprehend the first sword moves of the Golden Sword Art, the Earth Sword Art, and the Water Sword Art.

She had only just begun to comprehend the sword moves, so naturally she had not yet reached the level of perfection. But being able to comprehend most of them already showed that she had excellent comprehension.

This was the biggest gain, and the most important thing was that her character had been greatly improved, as if she had been reborn, becoming more calm and resolute than before.

This leap in state of mind is by no means a small one, but is like reaching a new peak that is beyond the reach of others.

The importance of the state of mind to a cultivator is self-evident. As long as the state of mind has reached perfection, the breakthrough in cultivation can be achieved by focusing on accumulating enough spiritual power.

As for the ways to obtain spiritual power, they can be roughly divided into two types:

The first is to gradually accumulate it through hard practice day after day and year after year. Although this method is slow, it is stable and solid, and every bit of spiritual power can be firmly controlled by the practitioner;

The second is to use the power of various rare natural treasures and magical elixirs to achieve the rapid accumulation of spiritual power.

Compared to the accumulation of spiritual power, which has rules to follow and shortcuts to take, improving one's state of mind is an extremely difficult task.

Generally speaking, the improvement of one's state of mind depends on one's innate talent and acquired understanding on the one hand, and on the other hand it can only rely on coincidence, just like a blind man stumbling upon something by mistake, hoping for good fortune to hit upon him.

This level of difficulty is comparable to searching for a thin embroidery needle in the vast ocean, which is almost an impossible task.

However, what was surprising was that Su Xiaoya unexpectedly entered an extremely mysterious state of enlightenment by accident, and it lasted for three whole days and three nights!

You know, the longer the enlightenment time is, the more benefits you will gain. There is even a legend that one can achieve a breakthrough of three levels in one enlightenment.

Usually, moments of enlightenment are rare.

I have to say that Su Xiaoya is extremely lucky.

After a sudden enlightenment, Su Xiaoya not only broke through her cultivation level (although it was only a breakthrough in the Nascent Soul stage of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth), but also began to comprehend the profound and obscure great way of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and also grasped the essence of the swordsmanship in one go.

As time goes by, her understanding of the key points of swordsmanship becomes more profound and thorough, and her attainments in swordsmanship also rise steadily, and she will eventually reach a supreme level that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

Su Xiaoya will not waste such a good opportunity. She has to work harder while her mind is clear.

The seventh key to swordsmanship is to keep the sword at hand at all times.

The literal meaning is very vivid, just like a person's shadow that follows closely and cannot be separated from him for a moment.

The hand never leaves the sword, and the sword never leaves the body.

This is similar to the idea of ​​never leaving the saddle off the horse's back and never leaving the armor on the general's body. It simply means staying vigilant at all times and being able to quickly enter combat mode when encountering any abnormality.

The main feature is speed - the sword comes out like the wind, bloodthirsty and kills the throat.

When a swordsman draws his sword from its sheath, the power that bursts out instantly is like a thunderbolt, leaving the enemy no chance to breathe.

Whether it is a sudden attack in a split second or a long battle, the sword-wielder can rely on his superb mastery of swordsmanship and the tacit coordination between himself and the sword to give the opponent a fatal blow.

Such superb skills and fierce offensive will undoubtedly make the enemy defenseless and unable to resist.

As the saying goes, it takes ten years to sharpen a sword, and it will be sharp when it is unsheathed.

Every swordsman who is obsessed with kendo has great ambitions and desires to forge a unique and unrivaled sword.

To this end, many swordsmen have spent ten, twenty years or even longer, as well as endless effort and energy, to carefully polish the sword blank.

During this period, no matter whether it was extremely cold or hot, windy or rainy, the swordsman always stayed in front of his sword-making furnace and never slacked off for the slightest.

They will carefully select each piece of ore material and study its texture and quality attentively; they will repeatedly refine each casting process and strive to make the sword body flawless; they will constantly try various quenching methods just to make the sword body have indestructible hardness and flexibility.

This persistent pursuit of the sword has surpassed the imagination of ordinary people, and it also demonstrates the swordsman's unremitting pursuit of excellent quality deep in his heart.

When this sword, which embodies all the wisdom and hard work of the swordsman, appeared out of nowhere and was slowly drawn out of the scabbard, a cold light suddenly flashed, like a bright meteor across the night sky, dazzling people.

At this moment, the sword was flashing with dazzling light, and the blade was as sharp as frost. It could cut through steel with a slight swing.

This peerless divine weapon truly lives up to its reputation of "sharp as soon as it is unsheathed".

When a sword is unsheathed, it must be sharp. This is not only a sincere admiration for the sword's own indestructible and sharp properties, but also contains a profound philosophy of life.

It means that the swordsman who has gone through countless hardships and finally achieved success after countless trials and tribulations has finally ushered in his own glorious moment.

As Wang Chong, a famous thinker in the Eastern Han Dynasty, said in his book Lun Heng Bie Tong Pian:

"For those noble families who have studied swordsmanship, if they want to remain invincible in fierce and brutal battles, the most important thing is to inherit and carry forward the profound knowledge passed down by the Yue girl from Qucheng."

“When two equally matched opponents suddenly meet on a narrow road, one is agile and skillful, while the other is clumsy and crude, then there is no doubt that the one who will win in the end will be the one who has mastered the superb skills and clever tactics.”

The Yue girl mentioned here is none other than the famous Virgin Zhao.

Yuenu, a master swordsman during the Spring and Autumn Period, was a native of Yue. She helped the King of Yue train his soldiers in swordsmanship and defeat the State of Wu. The King of Yue called her the best swordsman at that time.

The "Wu Yue Chunqiu·Gou Jian Conspiracy Biography" records: There was a virgin in Yue (Zhao virgin), who came from Nanlin. The King of Yue sent an envoy to invite her and asked her about the sword. Her sword skills were natural. She lived in the mountains and forests, taught sword skills to soldiers, and helped the King of Yue Gou Jian to destroy Wu. The King of Yue said that "the sword of the Yue girl is better than any other in the world."

The King of Yue was full of curiosity about this mysterious woman, so he sent an envoy to hire her and ask her about swordsmanship.

The Yue girl went as agreed, and on the way she met an old man who called himself Yuan Gong.

Yuan Gongyan: I heard that you are good at swordsmanship, please give me some advice!

As soon as Yuan Gong asked to see Yue Nu's sword skills, without waiting for Yue Nu's answer, he picked up a dry bamboo in the forest, turned it into a sharp sword, and threw it at Yue Nu like a gust of wind.

The girl dodged the attack like a ghost, and the sword in her hand danced like a snake, drawing brilliant sword lights and attacking Yuan Gong.

Yuan Gong was as light as a swallow. He jumped between the treetops and easily avoided the attack of the Yue woman.

Upon seeing this, the Yue girl's sword skills became even more fierce, and the force of her sword swept towards Yuan Gong like a violent storm.

However, Yuan Gong was not in a hurry. He used a dry bamboo as a sword and crossed it with the Yue girl's sword, making crisp collision sounds.

Suddenly, Yuan Gong leaped onto the treetop like a bird and instantly turned into a white ape.

The white ape was agile, moving like lightning through the woods, attacking Yue Nu from time to time. Yue Nu responded with her agile body movements and superb swordsmanship, and launched a thrilling battle with the white ape.

The white ape's attack was like a storm, while the Yue woman's defense was like an iron wall.

The two sides were going back and forth, refusing to give in to each other, and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while.

In the fierce battle, Yue Nu gradually figured out the attack pattern of the white ape. She seized an opportunity and stabbed the white ape's vital point with her sword like a rainbow. The white ape evaded the attack swiftly, but Yue Nu's sword followed it closely.

The white ape was forced to retreat again and again, with a hint of surprise in its eyes. The Yue girl took advantage of the victory and pursued it, with her sword becoming more and more fierce. The white ape finally revealed a flaw, and the Yue girl stabbed its arm with a sword.

The white ape felt the pain, wailed, turned around and ran away. The girl looked at its receding back, and a feeling of admiration welled up in her heart.

This battle with the white ape brought her new breakthrough in swordsmanship.

After that, there were no more setbacks along the way.

Arriving at the palace of King Yue, the King asked Lady Zhao about the subtleties of swordsmanship.

Maiden Zhao smiled slightly and said softly: "This sword art is very subtle and simple, but its meaning is profound and far-reaching."

"There are gates in the Dao, and there is also the difference between yin and yang. When the gate is opened, the yin energy declines and the yang energy prospers. When practicing hand-to-hand combat, one must enrich the spiritual power internally and show a calm demeanor externally."

"When facing the enemy, the seemingly gentle and virtuous woman is as fierce as if she is afraid of a tiger when she takes action."

"Deploy your formations and shapes, grasp the climate changes, and follow them with your mind. In the distance, it's like the scorching sun in the sky; attack quickly, just like a soaring tiger. Chasing the enemy's figure, it's like chasing the sun, the light is flickering and vaguely visible."

"Breathing in and out, moving naturally, unfettered by any laws or prohibitions. Whether galloping in all directions, following the trend or going against it, going straight or winding, I can handle it with ease, completely ignoring the voices of the outside world."

"One person who masters this art can defeat a hundred men, and a hundred men can defeat ten thousand. If Your Majesty wishes to give it a try, the results will be immediately apparent."

After hearing this, the King of Yue was overjoyed and immediately gave the girl a title, calling her Yue Girl. From then on, the name of Yue Girl spread throughout the world and she became a swordsman admired by everyone.

The swordsmanship of the Yue woman incorporates the profound philosophy of the Book of Changes, the exquisite thoughts of Laozi, and the strategic wisdom of the Art of War, and provides a comprehensive and in-depth discussion of the key points of fencing.

This is not just limited to the simple technical level, but also covers multiple dimensions from theory to practical operations, tactical application and even psychological state.

She clearly explains the dialectical relationships in swordsmanship that seem contradictory but complementary, such as:

The delicate balance between movement and stillness, the clever transition between fast and slow rhythms;

Flexible switching between offense and defense, and perfect coordination between feints and real moves;

The strategic choice under the comparison of strength and weakness, and the precise grasp of the timing of attack;

The coordination between internal mood and external actions, and different coping methods in adverse and favorable situations;

The close connection between breathing and the execution of moves, the high degree of unity between body shape changes and mental concentration, etc.

It has to be said that it is almost a consensus among the world that the Sword of Yue Girl is unparalleled in the world.

Du Mu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote in a poem: "There is no other general in the world, the best hero in Guanxi. He taught me talismans from Huangshi Lao and swordsmanship from Baiyuan Weng."

Li Bai also wrote two poems to praise the unparalleled sword of Yue Girl.

One: "The murderous aura spreads across a thousand miles, and the sound of the army shakes the nine districts. The white ape is ashamed of his swordsmanship, and the yellow stone borrows the military talisman."

Second: "She learned swordsmanship from a virgin, and was as detached as a meteor. She would sacrifice her body to avenge her husband, and would not care about life even if she died."

According to incomplete statistics, there are nearly 34 poems in the Complete Tang Poems, and of them contain the word "Yue Nu".

In more than thirty poems, the poets interpreted and constructed the "Yue women" in their minds with relish.

The white blade shines on the white snow, and the heavens are moved by the sincerity. He takes two leaps every ten steps, and fights once after three shouts.

This shows the status of Yue women in the hearts of Tang Dynasty poets.

The "Wu Yue Chunqiu" also records the story of Yue Nv. Her swordsmanship is unparalleled, "as far away as the sun, as slanting as a flying rabbit, chasing shapes and shadows, as if the light is invisible, breathing back and forth, unable to be restrained by the law, going forward and backward, straight and backward, and unheard of."

And "Yuan Gong" is the white ape who practiced with the Yue girl in the bamboo forest, and was interpreted by later generations as the Yue girl's master.

Looking through the records, the Yue female sword master is the only one who can be defeated!

"The Thirty-Three Swordsmen", also known as "The Thirty-Three Swordsmen", is a famous woodblock print in ancient China.

The Yue girl - Zhao Chunu, is the first picture in "Thirty-three Swordsmen".

"The Picture of Thirty Swordsmen" is one of Ren Weichang's famous works. It was drawn based on "Tang and Song Dynasty Legendary Novels" and includes 33 swordsmen and 48 immortals.

Thirty-three swordsmen: Virgin Zhao, the bearded guest, the rope master, the woman in the car, the monk from Ruzhou, the old man from Jingxi inn, the old man from Lanling, Lu Sheng, Nie Yinniang, Jing Shisanniang, Hong Xian, the servant of Wang Jinghong, Kunlun Moler, the monk from Siming, Scholar Ding, the needlewoman, the gatekeeper of Xuanci Temple, Li Guishou, the wife of Jia, the old man on the river street of Weiyang, the walker in the temple, Li Sheng, Zhang Zhongding, the assassin from Xiuzhou, the wife of Zhang Xun, Pan Jian, the scholar from Hongzhou, the right hero, the man with the green scarf, the Taoist from Zibo, the chivalrous woman, the wife of Jie Xun, the Taoist with a horn scarf.

The 48 immortals: Nüji, Tao Hongjing, Lin Bu, Ren Guang, Chen Anshi, Laozi, Chen Tuan, Zhang Guo, Lan Caihe, Han Xiang, Dongfang Shuo, Zhang Liang, Cai Jing, Liu Gang, Guo Pu, Zhongli Quan, Mao Yujiang, Xu Chen, Qing Pingji, Huang Chuping, Ge Hong, Hu Gong, Wang Lie, Guang Chengzi, Wang Zijin, Zhang Daoling, Liu Zheng, Deng Boyuan, Xue Zhao, Guifu, Guan Lingyin, Qin Gao, Mei Fu, Ye Fashan, Huang Shigong, Tao Angong, Huang An, Wei Shuqing, Lingyang Ziming, Su Xian Gong, Xu Fu, Sun Deng, Xie Ziran, Chang'e, Xu Feiqiong, Lu Meiniang, Nong Yu, Luo Yu.

From this we can see that the swordsmanship of the Yue women is indisputably unparalleled in the eyes of the world.
