Chapter 6: Eight Knives

After learning of this plan, all the strange people formed a team to destroy the Great Array and attack the Japanese Onmyoji. At that time, there was a team led by a master who was Xingzhongzi, who sabotaged the plans of the Japanese many times, and was finally ambushed during an operation. It is said that the battle was fought in the dark, when the Japanese laid a heavy bait in order to lure them into being deceived, using an evil jade stone of the level of a national treasure of Japan as bait to lure them into the battle, and at the same time dispatched many masters to participate in the war.

What I didn't expect was that Xingzhongzi's master's cultivation was really high at that time, and he killed many of the other party's great onmyoji by himself, but he was still outnumbered, and only Xingzhongzi's senior brother escaped proudly, and took away the ancient jade they used as bait.

Without this piece of ancient jade, even if they set up a large array, they would not be able to activate it, because this piece of ancient jade was the key to the activation of all large arrays. Xingzhongzi's senior brother returned to the Taoist temple with the ancient jade, told Xingzhongzi about it, and asked him to take good care of the ancient jade, which must not be lost or destroyed.

At that time, it was the final stage of the Anti-Japanese War, so the Japanese should have not found any traces of the ancient jade, so they were repulsed, and then the civil war broke out, and no one cared.

More than 60 years have passed, but I didn't expect the Japanese to find Xingzhongzi here again. That night, a Japanese master sneaked in here to investigate, and it happened that Xing Zhongzi was not there, so in order not to leak the news, Liu Haian chased and killed the other party alone, and the result was defeated. If Wang Xin hadn't appeared at that time, it is estimated that Liu Haian would have really become a lonely ghost.

Because of the person's escape, people often come to inquire these days, and the first few times they were beaten back by Xingzhongzi, but I didn't expect a master to appear the evening before yesterday, although he was defeated and stayed, but the other party also directly seriously injured Xingzhongzi. And leave a word, they already know that Gu Yu is here, and in thirty days, there will be a real master who will come to retrieve Gu Yu.

Originally, they had asked for help, but now in the domestic ability world, there are not many masters, and many of them are no longer concerned about the world, plus their master and apprentice do not have any master friends, which is a bit of a personal grudge.

In addition, the current situation is different, everything is international, and someone persuaded Xing Zhongzi to return the ancient jade, so why bother with so much trouble, so I don't expect a good help to appear at that time.

So I thought of Wang Xin, who I saw that night, with a master's demeanor, and hoped that he could help the villagers for the sake of the villagers.

Having said this, the fifth grandfather slapped the table angrily: "This is not lawless, Lao Tzu killed devils when he was young, and now he can still kill devils, three gold, if you dare not contribute, I will let your second grandfather come to you." ”

Wang Xin hurriedly comforted the fifth grandfather, saying that he would definitely contribute, and it was not easy to persuade the excited old man, the old man was not in good health, and if he was excited, he would have to do it.

Wang Xin said: "Grandpa Taoist, it's not that I don't want to help, the main thing is that I don't know anything, I just run faster and have more strength, and I really can't do anything else." ”

The fifth grandfather also came back to his senses and said: "Yes, my grandson is not only in better health, but he is naughty, I grew up watching him, I wanted to teach him something when I was a child, but I didn't learn anything, like a monkey cub, I couldn't be idle for a moment, why didn't I find out that he had this great ability?"

The old Taoist priest smiled slightly and said: "Since you don't say it, then I shouldn't have it, but I see that you are vigorous and vigorous, I have a set of knife techniques here that I want to teach you, can you learn it?"

Do you dare not learn, these two grandfathers are invited out, not for Gu Yu, at least it is a blood feud, if he dares not to learn, he will not be cleaned up by the fifth grandfather, of course he agreed.

It's noon, send the fifth grandfather back to the nursing home, and come to learn knife skills in the afternoon.

When I came to the courtyard of the independent gate, the old Taoist priest of Xingzhongzi was in a slightly better spirit, and took out a common anti-Japanese war knife on TV, and I don't know how to maintain it, but instead of rusting, it was still shining with cold light.

The old Taoist priest came to the courtyard with a knife and said solemnly: "This knife method is called ~ Eight knives to break the edge, there are eight styles, see me practice it for you, and at the same time there is a knife mantra:

Facing the big slashing blade,

Drop your hand and swing sideways to block your waist.

Sweep the autumn leaves with the wind,

Sweeping away thousands of enemies is inescapable.

Stride and provoke like thunder,

The chain of willows is cut obliquely.

Left and right protection by quick pick,

Move to the transposition of the protruding bayonet. ”

Lao Dao held the knife with both hands, and the mantra and body were unfolded at the same time, although the movement was slow, it made him have a tragic taste, and in a trance, Wang Xin seemed to see a soldier fighting on the battlefield.

After practicing again, the old Taoist priest coughed for a while, and he couldn't stand steadily, Liu Haian hurriedly stepped forward to help him sit down, it seems that the old Taoist priest was really injured.

Wang Xin is not a talented person, he only has a vague impression after reading it once, if he can really remember it once, he will not be a genius, and he will not be able to learn well in school.

It is estimated that he also knew this situation, and after Liu Hai'an settled down with his master, he handed over a wooden knife to Wang Xin and began to teach him one move at a time, and the old Taoist priest sat there and watched.

In the afternoon, no matter how stupid the person is, he also remembered these eight tricks, before leaving, the old Taoist priest said: "After you go back, you have to practice diligently, don't have pressure, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, even if I die, I will not let the Japanese take Gu Yu away." ”

I'll wipe ~ Big brother, are you comforting, even took out the death, how can there be no pressure, Wang Xin carried a wooden knife and rode a motorcycle depressed.

In this way, Wang Xin worked during the day, kept vigil at night, and practiced knife skills with a wooden knife when he was fine, but no matter how he practiced, he couldn't practice that kind of momentum, but it made the people around him think that he was stunned.

That night, Wang Xin kept vigil as usual, practicing his sword skills, and suddenly heard someone behind him: "Who taught you this Eight Blades, you practice like a ghost drawing talisman, and you are crooked." ”

When I turned my head, it turned out to be Uncle Li, not Uncle Li who shouted at him that day, but the grandfather of Li Dazhuang who sang with him. He is over eighty years old, his body is very tough, and the farm work is not delayed at all, it stands to reason that the old man generally does not come to the vigil, because the night is cool now, and the humidity on the mountain is still high, which is not good for the old man's health, so it has always been Li Dazhuang or his father who is on duty at night.

Wang Xin hurriedly called Grandpa Li, moved out of the bench for him to sit on, and then said: "It turns out that you always know this knife technique, and the one who taught me is the old Taoist priest of Xingzhongzi from the Folklore Office, if you let me practice, how do I feel that I can't practice!"

The old man lit a cigarette and said, "Nonsense, it's definitely not going to work, it's all crooked." ”

"Grandpa Li, since you know each other, you must understand, give me some pointers. ”

Wang Xin is good for this, if we don't understand, just ask, and we'll climb the pole.

"Nonsense, or I don't sleep at night and come here to talk to you, the person who taught you is also a fool, and he doesn't know this knife technique at all. If you continue to practice like this, it's just a showcase, it's useless. ”

"Grandpa Li, hurry up and talk about it, how do you practice?"

"Why should I tell you, haha~"

"Oops~ Aren't I your grandson, me and Brother Da Zhuang are more iron, you are his grandfather and my grandfather, how can this grandfather teach his grandson what he needs to do, don't you say?"

"Haha~ I just like your faceless energy, and you really teach your grandson. Come ~ I'll tell you, there is a trick to this knife technique, one split, two cuts, three presses, four strokes, first practice these four basic movements to be familiar with, and then practice this knife method to get twice the result with half the effort. ”

As he spoke, Old Man Li took Wang Xin's wooden knife and made four basic movements, clean and neat, so handsome!

After the demonstration, he threw the wooden knife to Wang Xin, found a tree and began to direct Wang Xin to practice these four movements.

Fortunately, these four movements are very simple, Wang Xin is not really stupid, he learned it quickly, and then the old man left a sentence and said: "Practice well!" and walked back to his orchard with his hands behind his back.

Wow~ I didn't expect this old man to be a hidden master, I only learned today, it seems that there are many unknown secrets under this calm world.

That night, Wang Xin had just arrived at the orchard, was chatting and farting in the group of classmates, asked a few people to turn on black pesticides, played a few mobile phones, ran out of electricity, plugged in the power bank, and came outside to start practicing the four basic actions.

Don't look at Wang Xin's overall hanging, but he really insists on practicing every day, at least three or four hours a day.

After practicing for a while, I went back to drink some water, and saw that there was an unread message on my phone, so I clicked on it and saw that it was sent by Liu Yuan.
