Hu Youde sharpened a wooden knife about the size of a real knife out of hardwood.

"The knife is the courage of a hundred soldiers, and it is also the most common weapon on the battlefield. ”

Hu Youde held the wooden knife horizontally and said in a deep voice: "Chivalry practices swords, and soldiers practice swords." Knife, since it is the courage of a hundred soldiers, should be bold and domineering. With the momentum of going and not returning, those who stand in my way will die. ”

Hu Youde paused for a moment, and said with a straight face: "On the battlefield, those who are afraid of death will die the fastest." The battlefield requires the most courage, and it is also the most suitable for the use of knives. ”

Lei Shaoxuan was born in Jiangmen, and he has been exposed to it since he was a child, so he is naturally no stranger to it. It's just that he was nurtured by his mother and didn't like to practice martial arts, when Gongsun Lie asked him to practice martial arts, he always excused himself, and now when he was at the moment of life and death, he settled down to learn.

Hu Youde was born in the army and has outstanding martial arts. What he learns is a martial art in the army, which is simple and practical, but if he wants to master it, he needs to work hard.

"In the army, all the soldiers and soldiers have learned the sword technique, but there are few outstanding people, why can't they practice at home? How to practice at home? There is a person who only practices the sword technique in the army, and only relies on the sword technique in the army, rises as a soldier, fights invincible opponents in the army, and repeatedly performs miraculous feats. He is your maternal grandfather, General Gongsun. ”

Thinking of Gongsun Lie, Hu Youde sighed a little in his heart: "General Gongsun once said that the soldiers practice swordsmanship for an hour every day, he gets up from morning to late at night, practices diligently and does not fall, and then gets the guidance of a famous teacher, and finally becomes everyone." Those who practice swords are said to be proficient, and Gongsun General Swordsmanship can be described as exquisite, or the way of the knife - the way of the sword. ”

Tao, the highest meaning.

Lei Shaoxuan couldn't help but be fascinated when he heard this, and he was stunned for a while.

"In the battle of the bitter sea, death row prisoners fight against death row prisoners, soldiers fight against soldiers, and the martial arts of death row prisoners will not be too outstanding. ”

Hu Youde was afraid that Lei Shaoxuan would be afraid, so he deliberately said: "As long as you practice the sword technique in the army and are proficient in the sword technique, you can kill the enemy and protect yourself." ”

"The enemy army also uses death row prisoners to go to the battlefield?" Lei Shaoxuan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in surprise.

"Yes. Hu Youde sighed slightly, and then said: "After years of fighting, the number of men has decreased sharply, and it is difficult to recruit soldiers, and most of the prisoners have been exiled to the border to atone for their crimes. Most of them are farmers and homeless people, and there are few outstanding martial arts masters, of course, there are occasional martial arts masters, so they must not be careless. ”

Hope rose in Lei Shaoxuan's heart.

......

Ma Shaoteng motioned to the sergeant to untie Lei Shaoxuan's chains, stared at Lei Shaoxuan, and said solemnly: "Lei Shaoxuan, do you know that you are a death row prisoner?"

Lei Shaoxuan was stunned, bowed his head and said yes.

Ma Shaoteng stiffened his face and said coldly: "Your mother let Hu Youde accompany her, but it doesn't actually meet the rules of prisoner escort, and we have never allowed it." However, the road is facing the sky, each side of the road, and he follows the escort team by himself, but we can't control it. ”

raised his eyebrows, and said in a changed tone: "I think he has long been suspected of plotting against him!"

Lei Shaoxuan was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Ma Shaoteng in confusion, feeling uneasy.

Ma Shaoteng said with a straight face: "Whether he is plotting against you to help you escape from prison, or whether he will stop by the bitter sea to travel and walk with the escort team, it is up to you." ”

Ma Shaoteng looked straight at Lei Shaoxuan, and Lei Shaoxuan seemed to have an understanding.

"If you want to practice knives, I can help you untie the chains, if you run away or make trouble, Hu Youde is trying to help you escape from prison, and your mother is also assisting death row prisoners to escape, which is a capital crime. You must not run away and make trouble, implicating your mother, Hu Youde, and your younger brother and sister. ”

Ma Shaoteng's tone softened, and said: "If you keep to yourself and reach the bitter sea smoothly, Hu Youde is not plotting against you, but going to the bitter sea alone to do business, and walking with the prisoners along the way, remember!"

"I know, I won't run away if I die!" Lei Shaoxuan woke up and said gratefully.

For the sake of his mother, it was impossible for him to run away no matter what.

Among the knife techniques, there are splitting, piercing, chopping, teasing, and chopping...... and so on, but during the escort, he was walking all the time, and he couldn't stop practicing all the knife techniques.

Fighting on the battlefield, opening and closing, many knife techniques are rarely used, Hu Youde deliberately let Lei Shaoxuan only practice splitting, piercing, chopping, and flirting..... and other basic movements.

Lei Shaoxuan knew in his heart that if he was exiled to the bitter sea, he would probably go and never return, and he would be buried in a foreign land.

However, with the wooden knife in his hand, a kind of dark summoning suddenly rose in his heart, as if the knife was born with it, and a glimmer of hope filled his heart.

The feeling of despair still lingered, and I still felt lost in my heart, holding the knife in my hand, but a bright light flashed in my chaotic mind, illuminating the way forward.

At night, holding the wooden knife, he slept very soundly for the first time, as if holding hope and strength.

Chop, pierce, chop, tease, chop...... Lei Shaoxuan kept repeating, swinging the knife thousands of times a day.

When practicing the knife, most of the prisoners saw it as a lively one, and the big man sneered: "What tricks do you play before you die?"

Slowly, fewer people are paying attention.

There is a long road ahead, and there are several things to do every day: sleeping, walking, eating. Everyone is tired, where can they take care of others?

Every time they went to a resting place, most of the prisoners lay down and fell asleep, and although they were extremely tired, Hu Youde still insisted that Lei Shaoxuan stand for an hour before he could rest.

With a goal, Lei Shaoxuan slowly felt the meaning of life, and at the same time regretted that he didn't study well when his grandfather asked him to practice martial arts.

"If you don't practice martial arts, you will be empty when you get old. In addition to sword practice, you also need to practice internal skills. ”

Lei Shaoxuan's martial arts spirit is extremely high, and Hu Youde plays the railway while it is hot.

"General Gongsun likes to practice martial arts, and there have been a lot of secret books in the house, most of which have been confiscated into the official mansion. Fortunately, your mother was shrewd and secretly left this "Tiangang Zhou Tian Secret Sutra"

Hu Youde took out a book and handed it to Lei Shaoxuan.

At the beginning of the book, it is written: "People have five internal organs, which are regarded as the secrets of Zhou Tian, corresponding to the stars of Zhou Tian." The way of Zhou Tian is endless, and therefore, the practice is endless. ”

Lei Shaoxuan frowned slightly, and looked at Hu Youde for some reason.

Hu Youde smiled bitterly: "Young master, I was born as a soldier, and I don't know how to do internal skills. This sutra is a secret transmission in the house, where am I qualified to practice internal strength, and only the sect or family can inherit it. Among the people in this line, probably only the horse patrol school will. Mrs. said before leaving, "Tiangang Zhou Tian Secret Sutra" is peaceful, you can practice on your own, but you are not afraid of bad practice, probably your mother has no way to say so. However, this book is treasured by General Gongsun, and it is very precious and cannot be easily displayed. ”

Lei Shaoxuan watched it for a long time, and he didn't know where to start, so he came directly to Ma Shaoteng.

"You actually let people read the cheats so easily?" Ma Shaoteng stared at Lei Shaoxuan, a little surprised.

"If you can practice, it's called a cheatbook, and if you can't learn it, it's just a waste book. Lei Shaoxuan said disapprovingly.

"You don't know how precious the cheats are, so it's no wonder you say that! This cheat is not very profound, but it is also rare, and it is also valuable to me. ”

Ma Shaoteng said with emotion, and he had a good impression of Lei Shaoxuan's open-mindedness.

"I won't look at you in vain, I'll teach you how to get started, and then you can practice on your own. ”

Ma Shaoteng pondered for a moment, looked at Lei Shaoxuan and said, "In addition, although you practice swordsmanship, you don't know the essentials. ”

Lei Shaoxuan was slightly startled, bowed his head and said, "Please Uncle Ma...... Ma patrols the school for guidance. I wanted to call my uncle, but I felt that it was inappropriate, so I quickly changed my words.

Ma Shaoteng waved his hand and said: "You practice the sword technique in the army, open and close, there is no return, and you have the essence of the sword technique, but the practice method is fundamentally wrong." ”

Lei Shaoxuan was stunned.

Ma Shaoteng sighed slightly in his heart, such a young man was going to the battlefield.

"You are not yet an adult, you lack strength, and the first thing in a battlefield duel is not to kill the enemy, but to protect yourself. When practicing the knife, there must be no return, the knife is exhausted, you need to leave three points of spare strength, and dodge and swim at any time. ”

Lei Shaoxuan's heart lit up and woke up.

Ma Shaoteng lowered his voice and said slowly: "When the death row prisoners are fighting, most people just want to guard against the people around them, you wander in a small area, no one will deliberately chase you; Your strength is small, no matter how good your knife skills are, it is not easy to kill the enemy, but once you are entangled, you will definitely die. ”

Ma Shaoteng turned his face to Hu Youde and said, "You were born in the army and don't understand the rules of the death row camp. The army has its own robes to take care of the enemy, and the prisoners on death row only care for themselves, and no one will take care of you, but they will not chase and kill those who wander away. Therefore, not to entangle with the enemy, and to wander at any time is the way to survive. This is a sea of bitterness, and it can be reached in a few months. In just a few months, I can't practice knife skills well, so I have to practice knife skills while taking care of my body skills in order to survive. ”

Hu Youde suddenly realized and said gratefully: "Thank you Ma for your guidance." ”

Hu Youde is considered an elite soldier and an old fritter in the army, where he still doesn't understand what Ma Shaoteng means, Lei Shaoxuan also understands.

Death row prisoners fighting, no military rules and military discipline, selfish, in this case, Hu Youde had no choice but to quietly inculcate the skills of stealing and playing tricks against the enemy on the battlefield.

How to dodge and block the enemy with your own people, how to trap your own people in the enemy and save yourself......

Fighting in the army is bound by military discipline. Military orders are like a mountain, everyone is just a part of the team, if they want to dodge and flee for their lives, they can't escape the military law; they often know that they will die, and they must not retreat from the battle, avoid the battle, and ignore their friends, otherwise the team will not be vegetarian, and they will definitely die in the end.

Death row prisoners fight differently, no one restrains them from fighting, and everyone only cares about their own survival.

As a former soldier, Hu Youde sometimes felt ashamed of teaching these shady tricks, but as long as the young master could survive, it was worth it, Lei Shaoxuan was originally innocent and deserved to live.

Lei Shaoxuan doesn't have these concerns, and now Lei Shaoxuan has only one thought: to live.

Thinking of his mother's grief-stricken eyes and his sister's timid voice, Lei Shaoxuan's heart was like a knife, and he vowed to destroy all obstacles that stood in the way of his life.

Kill! Lei Shaoxuan swung his knife and slashed into the air.
