Chapter 189 Ming Wang Sword
"drink!"

Fu Qingzhou took a big step forward, and swung his long sword from bottom to top, then he took another step back, and the long sword came back around his head...

At this moment, he was practicing his sword skills in Fa Nu's courtyard.

"good."

Fa Nu nodded slightly with satisfaction: "You have only learned this set of mountain-cutting sword for two or three days, but you can use it so smoothly. Your swordsmanship talent is really good."

Fu Qingzhou stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile: "After all, he used to be a pig butcher, so he is more skilled in wielding a knife."

"It seems that your basics are pretty solid."

Fa Nu said, raising his Nine Rings Sword to his shoulder: "Then you can practice my sword skills."

Fu Qingzhou's eyes lit up with joy: "Thank you, Senior Brother!"

"My sword technique is called Ming Wang Sword."

Fa Nu said as he strode to the middle of the courtyard and stood still. He then glanced at Fu Qingzhou beside him and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Stand further away."

Fu Qingzhou let out an "oh" and quickly retreated to the wall.

"The Ming Wang Sword is one of the four great sword techniques in the Jinchan Temple."

Fa Nu said calmly, "This sword technique was taught to me by Grandmaster Hui Jue himself. It has helped me kill countless enemies over the past ten years without fail... The so-called Ming Wang Sword has the meaning of cutting off karma, destroying evil, eliminating sin, and destroying demons. The more profound the Buddhist teachings, the more fierce the sword's power. You can learn its form first, and then cultivate its meaning."

Fu Qingzhou nodded slightly at the side, but sneered in his heart.

You evil monks... do you still have Buddhism?
"Watch carefully... The first move, the Unmovable Pluto Blade!"

Fa roared in anger, and his thin body suddenly stepped backwards, breaking the bluestone bricks.

The nine-ring broadsword was raised in his hand, but it did not fly. Instead, he held it diagonally in front of his body in a somewhat strange posture.

The simple monk's robe on his body fluttered in the wind, and the air around the blade seemed to be slightly stagnant and distorted.

Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly.

He could tell without the Smoker's explanation... this was a defensive move.

Fanu maintained that posture and smiled at him: "Come on, cut me."

Fu Qingzhou's forehead was covered with cold sweat. "No way, Senior Brother, this move of yours is obviously to wait for others to attack. If I strike you with my sword, won't you strike me back and kill me?"

"Just chop me when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Fa glared at him angrily: "How can I kill you?"

Fu Qingzhou gave a dry laugh.

What else can I do? Go ahead.

Frankly speaking, this somewhat abstract knife technique can only be understood through experience by oneself.

If Fa'nu really suddenly doesn't want to acknowledge me as his younger brother anymore, and starts to attack people without following any moral principles, with my current strength... it might be a little difficult for me to escape unscathed, but it would be no problem for me to slip away.

So he raised the long sword in his hand, his eyes darkened, and he took a step forward and chopped forward!

The long sword fell, but when it was about to reach half an inch in front of Fa Nu, the blade seemed to sink into a quagmire, blocking its movement.

Not only that, Fu Qingzhou's body seemed to be tightly pinched by the surrounding air, making it difficult for him to move!

He was shocked - this was not some kind of spell to immobilize or control the body, but it was achieved purely by releasing true energy!

"Once the Unmovable Pluto Sword is used, the area within a few inches of your body will become the underworld!"

Fa Nu roared: "Everyone who comes will die!"

The next moment, a hellish fire seemed to ignite in front of Fu Qingzhou's eyes.

Of course, that was not Hellfire, but the light reflected from the swing of the Nine-ringed Sword. However, that light was a fusion of the wrath of a tiger or a lion, the true essence burning like black fire, and the sword evil that was so terrifying that it went straight to the heart and soul...

The Yiran and Qiran secrets in his body couldn't help but ignite, trying to fight back!
"Press it! Press it quickly!"

The voice of the smoker roared in his mind: "Don't show your face!" In this split second, Fu Qingzhou forcibly suppressed his body's instinctive reaction. He did not retreat, did not dodge, and did not burst out with powerful strength to fight against it.

He just stood there like a rookie, staring with wide eyes at the nine-ring broadsword coming towards him.

With a humming sound, the blade stopped just an inch in front of him.

The sword energy and the strong wind made his hair fly wildly, and his clothes rustled. Along with a sound that made people's teeth ache, countless criss-crossing sword marks appeared on the ground behind Fu Qingzhou!
It was not until this moment that the cold sweat on Fu Qingzhou's forehead completely seeped out.

The Nine-ringed Sword was gently retracted, and Fa Nu narrowed his eyes and revealed a slightly smug smile: "How is it?"

Fu Qingzhou took a few seconds to catch his breath and smiled bitterly: "Brother, how can I learn this?"

"Huh, what can't I learn?"

Fa Nu sneered, "I use my true energy, and you use your inner breath, but the essence is the same - who says swordsmanship must be about jumping around and chopping? Once you learn this, one move will be enough for you to conquer the world!"

This is true. This move of not moving the Pluto Sword alone is more advanced than any other sword, saber or stick technique Fu Qingzhou had seen before.

It truly utilizes all one's skills to the extreme, and is an extremely advanced move that cannot be learned by just watching it a few times.

If I were to make an analogy, it would be like using one's own Wind-Deceiving Shadow-Arrow. One needs to truly learn how to use the internal energy to cultivate oneself and practice it over and over again.

"Next, I will teach you how to circulate your inner energy and how to control your sword... but these are not the most important things."

Fa Nu said in a deep voice: "It's the murderous aura you just felt!"

"The Unmovable Hades Blade is about striking first after being struck. Wherever the aura around you reaches is the underworld. When you use this blade, you must regard anyone who dares to violate your own territory as an enemy of life and death! Once the blade is drawn, it is a fight of life and death, there is no such thing as sparring!"

"This first move is also the essence of the Ming Wang Sword. Only by mastering this move can you learn the following four moves. Don't underestimate it!"

Fu Qingzhou nodded and listened seriously.

Although he knew that everyone in this temple was his mortal enemy, the sword technique was real and it would be a waste not to learn it.

This is only the first move of the Ming Wang Sword...

Before the Fanyin Temple was destroyed, would I have the chance to learn the next few moves?

Well...or maybe one day when I find an opportunity I can sneak into the Sutra Repository and see if there is this set of sword skills there?
"okay."

After Fa Nu taught Fu Qingzhou the formula for the first move of the Unmovable Hades Blade word for word, he said calmly: "You practice it by yourself first, I will watch from the side and give you some pointers."

Fu Qingzhou nodded, wiped the sweat off his face, raised his knife and walked to the center of the field.

This way of operating internal energy was not particularly difficult for him, but it was by no means a simple matter.

As for the saying "the higher the Buddhist teachings, the more sophisticated the swordsmanship"...

Just listen.

What kind of Buddhism does Fa Nu have? Hasn’t he just mastered this sword technique to perfection?

The sun was setting, and Fu Qingzhou practiced the Unmovable Pluto Sword over and over again, occasionally asking Fa Nu for advice on some puzzles.

"Huh... so tiring, so difficult."

After failing to use his sword skills again, he sighed and sat down on the ground.

At this time, Fa Nu was very patient with his "young junior fellow student" and smiled: "If you can learn this sword in one or two hours, then I don't need to live. I practiced hard for three days and three nights before I could barely master this sword."

Fu Qingzhou sat on the ground, wiping his sweat, and asked, "Brother, you said before that there is an even more powerful Blood Sea Robe Kung Fu in the temple? Is it true that after practicing that Kung Fu, I can learn to use a knife faster? If I become a monk, can I enter the Sutra Library to learn this Kung Fu?"

This topic was so natural that Fa Nu had no doubt at all. He laughed and said, "It's not that easy. You have to practice the Golden Body and Bronze Bone Skill to the highest level before you can learn the Blood Sea Cassock Skill. By then, you must be at least at the peak of the sixth level."

"When that time comes, the abbot will take you to the Sutra Library to practice without you having to tell him."

Fu Qingzhou nodded as if he understood something and grinned at him: "Then I must work harder and learn this technique as quickly as possible."
