Chapter 14: Swordsmanship
Quietly listening to what the master said, Qin Fengming felt ups and downs in his heart, thinking that his two senior brothers were already elite disciples of Luoxia Valley.
"I also have a daughter, fifteen years old, and I'll let you know her later. Now I'm going to officially pass on your swordsmanship. I'll pass the first form to you first, and I'll look at it carefully. ”
After Master Zhang finished speaking, he put away the jiashi and slowly practiced one move at a time.
Qin Fengming looked at it seriously. With the movements of Hall Master Zhang, the arms of the body slowly began to dance.
Seeing that the master had finished practicing the first style, Qin Fengming immediately closed his eyes, silently thinking about his master's every move when he practiced martial arts just now, and unconsciously entered the realm of emptiness.
Although there are only thirteen styles in this set of swordsmanship, each style is divided into eight moves, and one move has eight variations. So it's very complicated.
Qin Fengming thought silently, his hands danced with it, and half an hour passed unconsciously. During this period, Hall Master Zhang just stood aside and looked at Qin Fengming with a smile on his face. There was no sound to interrupt it.
After a long while, Qin Fengming opened his eyes with an indifferent expression: "Master, this set of swordsmanship is very complicated, I want to ask the master to practice it again, okay?"
Hall Master Zhang didn't speak, lifted the sword, and slowly practiced the first style again. Qin Fengming looked at it seriously, and after reading it, he closed his eyes again and fell into deep thought again.
After a cup of tea, he opened his eyes, picked up a branch from the ground, and practiced one move at a time like a master just now.
After watching Qin Fengming finish practicing, Hall Master Zhang's face changed from the original joy, and slowly showed a look of surprise, and after a long time, there was excitement in his voice, and he said to the two people who appeared outside the courtyard gate at some point:
"Ah Wei, have you ever seen such a genius, I only practiced the first style of the Thirteen Floating Willows twice, and I can practice exactly the same. ”
Qin Fengming was about to ask the master for advice, when he saw that there were two more people at the scene, one was a beautiful woman about thirty years old, and the other was the girl he had met in the back mountain valley a few months ago.
I saw the beautiful woman step forward slowly, and said with a smile:
"I think back then, the master taught me to practice the first style, and it took me five days to practice before I could be completely connected. I didn't expect that this little disciple you were looking for could learn the first form so quickly, which is really surprising. ”
Qin Fengming stood dumbfounded, listening to the two masters' answers, not knowing what to call this beautiful woman.
Seeing him like this, Master Zhang remembered that he hadn't introduced him yet. So haha smiled: "Feng Ming, come here, come and see your senior sister and senior sister." ”
Pointing to the beautiful woman and the girl, he said, "This is my wife Liu Wei and my daughter Zhang Ruotong." ”
Qin Fengming hurriedly walked over, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said, "I've seen my master, my apprentice has kowtowed to you." The beautiful woman lifted him up with her hands. Looking at Qin Fengming, his face also showed a happy expression.
Qin Fengming walked up to the girl again, bowed down and saluted, "Little junior brother gives a salute to senior sister." ”
The girl smiled and said, "We met, you are the new disciple who spied on my sword practice that day." I didn't expect you to be my little brother. ”
Hall Master Zhang and Liu Wei and his wife were all stunned, and they were busy asking the reason, and listening to their daughter narrating the story, Hall Master Zhang smiled: "Feng Ming, did you want to learn sword after watching your senior sister practice swords?"
Qin Fengming's face turned red, and he didn't hide it: "Master, exactly, I saw my senior sister practicing swords that day, and it was very good-looking, so I went back and told you that I wanted to learn swords." ”
Looking at Qin Fengming, Hall Master Zhang lifted the long sword in his hand, handed it to him and said, "You use this sword, and then practice the first style just now." ”
Qin Fengming took the long sword, pinched the sword trick in his hand, and practiced one move at a time. At first, since he had never used a sword, his moves were very jerky, but later, his movements gradually became more elegant.
Qin Fengming finished practicing the first style, his face flushed, panting, and he looked at his master, waiting for his guidance.
Hall Master Zhang was about to speak, when he saw Shi Niang suddenly come over and say, "Your master has practiced again, I'll give you another drill to see what the difference is." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Hall Master Zhang to speak, he took out the long sword from his waist and danced.
Qin Fengming watched attentively, and saw that the master was practicing more lightly than the master, like a fairy flying among the flowers, although the practice was slow, but the artistic conception of the willows fluttering in the wind was fully revealed. Qin Fengming only really realized at this time why this set of swordsmanship is called the Thirteen Styles of Floating Willows.
Shi Niang had finished practicing the first style, and Qin Fengming was still immersed in the artistic conception just now. The girl called Ruotong walked over and tapped him on the shoulder before she came to her senses.
Seeing this, Master Zhang said: "Your master has been practicing this set of swordsmanship for more than 20 years, and the essence of it has long been known. That's what I can do if I'm a halfway monk. You can have a good understanding of your master's swordsmanship, which will be of great help to your future practice. ”
Qin Fengming replied respectfully: "Master's artistic conception is very profound, I can practice to the master-like realm, and I don't know when it will be completed?"
Hall Master Zhang immediately said with a displeased face: "How can martial arts training be achieved overnight, it takes decades of perseverance, and you can't be proud and lax. Be persistent. Do you understand?"
Qin Fengming immediately lost his color, and hurriedly said: "The disciple has been taught, and he will definitely study and practice hard to live up to the expectations of the master." ”
Hall Master Zhang nodded, his eyes full of the elder's loving feelings: "Today, I will pass you the first form, you go back and practice it well, and tomorrow you will practice the second form." Let's have breakfast here. ”
Qin Fengming didn't know how to answer, but the girl came over, took his hand and walked towards the courtyard. Qin Fengming looked at his wife, and when he saw that his wife smiled and nodded, he didn't say anything more.
Qin Fengming saw that what his master ate was not much different from what he ate in Bailian Hall, that is, ordinary meals.
After eating, and about to say goodbye to the master and master, Hall Master Zhang suddenly took the long sword just now, held the sword in his hand, and there was a trace of emotion in his voice:
"This sword is a peerless blade, but it is also extremely sharp, it was given by one of my old friends, and it is always with me, and I will give it to you today, although this sword is a little uncomfortable for you now, but it will definitely be used in the future, I hope you will treat it well." ”
As he spoke, he picked up the sword with both hands and handed it to Qin Fengming.
