Time passes by every second.
There are more and more chess pieces on the board.
Black and white are everywhere, each forming a formation, and the air is filled with murderous aura!
Xiao Chen and Mr. Linghu were both staring at the chessboard. Every time a piece was placed, they had to consider the overall situation and dared not be careless!
The chess game has reached this point where it is very easy to lose the whole game with just one wrong move!
After a long while, Mr. Linghu paused holding the white piece's hand and smiled bitterly.
He slowly put the white piece back and looked up at Xiao Chen: "I lost."
"hehe."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"What kind of formation is this?"
Mr. Linghu looked at the black pieces on the chessboard and asked.
"Nine-Gate Dragon Locking Formation. Look, nine gates are formed here. When the ninth gate is formed, it will be the Nine Nines returning to One, and the Dragon Locking Formation will be completed!"
Xiao Chen did not hide it and explained to Mr. Linghu.
"oh?"
Old Mr. Linghu looked at it carefully, showing his experience, it really is the Nine Gates!
"Nine-Gate Dragon Locking Formation? Why haven't I heard of it before?"
"Haha, this is from an ancient book. I can't be careless when playing chess with you, so I set up the formation."
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"I see."
Mr. Linghu took another look and was immediately convinced.
"Put this chess game aside for now and let me study it further?"
"Haha, Mr. Linghu, go ahead and study. If you have any questions, just call me and ask me."
Xiao Chen chuckled.
"good."
Mr. Linghu nodded, picked up the tea and took a sip.
"You all should go out first."
"Yes, Master."
The two apprentices nodded and retreated.
"I need to go out too?"
When the God of Fire saw Mr. Linghu looking at him, he asked with a shameless face.
"Do you need me to throw you out?"
Mr. Linghu looked at the God of Fire and asked with a smile.
"Uh, no need, I can go out by myself."
The God of Fire shuddered, shook his head, stood up and left.
Although he wanted to learn some skills secretly, after all, he had witnessed the power of sword wielding last time.
But now it seems that if I don’t leave, I will really fall into disgrace!
Xiao Chen was also slightly excited. Was he going to pass on the sword-wielding technique to him?
"Give me the knife."
After the God of Fire also left, Mr. Linghu said to Xiao Chen.
"good."
Xiao Chen nodded and handed the Xuanyuan Sword to Mr. Linghu.
As soon as Mr. Linghu got the sword in his hand, his whole aura changed suddenly, like a precious sword being unsheathed!
It even gives people the illusion that there is nothing left in the world and only this knife is left!
"Friend Xiao, do you know the art of controlling a sword?"
Mr. Linghu looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"have no idea."
Xiao Chen shook his head. He had never heard of it before.
"The art of controlling a sword is not so much about controlling the sword with the hand as it is about controlling the sword with the mind, and the mind is what gives rise to the heart..."
Mr. Linghu said slowly.
Xiao Chen listened carefully, pondered, and felt as if a new door had been opened.
"Man and sword become one, you know that, right?"
Old Mr. Linghu waved the Xuanyuan Sword and asked.
"Yes, I know."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"The first step in sword control is to achieve unity between man and sword..."
"What?"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen was a little surprised.
Because the state of unity between man and sword is too difficult to achieve, even he cannot reach it.
Occasionally, I might get into this state when my brain suddenly becomes tense, but as I said, this is only when my brain suddenly becomes tense.
Normally, he cannot combine man and sword into one!
What kind of person is one with the sword?
Those who can reach the state of unity between man and sword are all famous swordsmen in the world!
For example, the Sword God Xue Chunqiu!
"I know you can't achieve it. Just practice slowly. One day, you will reach this level and perform the sword-controlling technique."
Mr. Linghu looked at Xiao Chen, smiled and said.
"Well, sometimes... I can also become one with the sword."
Xiao Chen hesitated and said.
"Also?"
Mr. Linghu looked a little surprised.
"Well, if I have a brain attack sometimes, I can become one with the sword, but... how should I put it, I want to find that feeling, but I can't find it, but I get into it inadvertently."
Xiao Chen scratched his head and said.
“…”
Listening to Xiao Chen's words, Mr. Linghu was a little speechless. What did it mean that if you occasionally have a brain glitch, you can still become one with the sword? Then what was this like for them? Did they always have brain glitch?
However, he still couldn't hide his surprise. How old is this kid, and yet he has reached the threshold of unity between man and sword?
Could it be that this kid is also a knife genius?
"Mr. Linghu, what do you think is going on?"
Xiao Chen looked at Mr. Linghu and asked.
"You have just touched the threshold of the unity of man and sword. I went through this process myself back then... You need to experience it carefully before you can cross this threshold and achieve true unity of man and sword."
Mr. Linghu said slowly.
"Yeah, I will."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Haha, it seems that the sword-controlling technique is really passed on to you, and it is really the right person."
Old Mr. Linghu smiled and swung the Xuanyuan Sword.
"Listen carefully, thoughts come from the heart, and strength comes from the mind..."
When Xiao Chen saw him start talking again, he quickly focused his attention and listened carefully, fearing that he might have missed something.
It took about ten minutes for Mr. Linghu to finish explaining to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen seemed to understand something, but when he carefully felt it, he couldn't feel it.
"Take your time, you still have a long way to go."
After Mr. Linghu taught him the art of wielding a sword, he couldn't help but feel more intimate with Xiao Chen, as if he was looking at his junior.
After all, the art of wielding a sword was a secret that he was planning to pass on to his last disciple.
But now, the disciple did not pass it on, but passed it on to Xiao Chen.
"Thank you, Mr. Linghu."
Xiao Chen nodded, stood up straight, bent over, and said respectfully.
"Haha, you're welcome. You won this."
Mr. Linghu waved his hands, but he felt quite relieved.
"When you get back, think about it more. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me."
"good."
Xiao Chen nodded, and felt a little more friendly towards Mr. Linghu.
He could see that this sword-wielding technique was very precious.
"Mr. Linghu, why did you teach me the sword-wielding technique?"
Xiao Chen hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask.
"Haha, it's not me who lost, but you who won?"
Mr. Linghu said with a smile.
"No, this shouldn't be the reason. The sword-controlling technique is extremely precious..."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Haha, let's call it a good relationship! Okay, don't ask any more questions. You just need to promise me one thing, and that's all."
Mr. Linghu waved his hand.
"You say."
"Don't let the sword-wielding technique be passed on to others."
"Please rest assured, I will never tell anyone."
"Well, that'll do."
Mr. Linghu smiled and nodded.
"Okay, I'll return the knife to you. I need to study this Nine-Gate Dragon Locking Formation."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen understood that Mr. Linghu was going to see him off.
"Well, take your time to study it. Next time I come, I will write out the chess formation for you for the Nine-Gate Dragon Locking Formation."
"Haha, okay."
Mr. Linghu's eyes lit up and he nodded with a smile.
"But is this convenient?"
"It's not inconvenient at all. You even taught me such a precious sword-wielding technique."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Okay, I'll wait."
Mr. Linghu nodded.
"Mr. Linghu, I'll take my leave now."
Xiao Chen said to Mr. Linghu.
"Um."
Mr. Linghu nodded and looked at the Nine-Gate Dragon Locking Formation on the chessboard.
Xiao Chen left the house and came outside.
"Vulcan, let's go."
"Leaving now?"
The Fire God was stunned.
"What else? You stay for dinner?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"Well, let's go together."
The God of Fire shook his head, said hello to his two disciples, and left.
When he heard the car going away, Mr. Linghu, who was studying the chess game, slowly raised his head.
He glanced outside, picked up the cold tea and took a sip.
"I have taught this kid the art of wielding a sword. I have finally repaid the favor I owe you... Sha Po Lang, just consider it a good deed."
Mr. Linghu put down his teacup and talked slowly to himself.
In Knight XV, Vulcan held up the Xuanyuan Sword and looked at Xiao Chen: "Did Mr. Linghu really teach you the sword-controlling technique?"
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Then can I learn it?"
Kagami asked, his eyes sparkling.
"No, he has said that it cannot be spread outside."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"All right."
When Vulcan heard this, he knew there was no hope.
"Where's the knife? What are you going to do with it?"
"Send it to Longmen Inn."
Xiao Chen thought about it and said.
"oh."
The God of Fire nodded. Anyway, he had no thoughts about the Xuanyuan Sword anymore.
"By the way, Vulcan, have you paid attention to the Western Church in recent days?"
Xiao Chen thought of something and asked.
"I've been paying attention, but it seems that there is no movement for the time being... I feel that... Hey, what's the saying in your Chinese language? It's about to rain heavily, but it's very quiet..."
Kagami said with some difficulty.
“The calm before the storm.”
Xiao Chen rolled his eyes and said something.
"Oh, yes, that's the sentence, the calm before the storm... The Light Church and the Dark Church suffered too much loss this time, especially the Dark Church, which had five Huajin masters and the Black Blood Wand. They can't just let it go like this."
The Fire God said in a deep voice.
"Fuck, I think I've become bolder since coming to China! If it were in the past, I would definitely not provoke the Church of Light or the Church of Darkness!"
"Haha, are you so afraid of them?"
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Of course, they are two huge monsters!"
Kagami nodded.
"However, I feel pretty good about the huge losses suffered by the Holy See of Light and the Holy See of Darkness this time. I rarely heard of them suffering losses before!"
"Then wait until they send someone again, and kill them."
"No, I'm timid, you should do this."
"Well, that's fine. We are in the same boat. If I die, you must die too."
“Fuck!”
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the Fire God glared and couldn't help but curse.
"Haha, calm down."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Vulcan, keep your eyes on the Western Church... Also, is your intelligence network abroad still intact? Help me check some more stuff."
"What?"
"Creature."
"Cyborg?"
The Vulcan was startled.
"Why are you checking this?"
