Chapter 9 - Practicing Swordsmanship

From Yu Ji's mouth, I learned that Nanhua was extremely good at swordsmanship, and once killed countless monsters with one person and one sword, and was the best among the earth immortals. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoLong Xiangtian was very happy to learn Nanhua's swordsmanship, after all, when he was a child, he had a dream of a swordsman, fantasizing about becoming a generation of swordsmen, acting chivalrous and righteous, but as he grew older, with the hustle and bustle of the city, that innocent heart was no longer there.

But now, he has come to another world, here, not only sword and martial arts, but also immortals and demons! This is a new beginning, it seems like a dream, but it is definitely not a dream, nor is it a game, and there is no chance to start over, so Long Xiangtian cherishes the opportunity to stay in this cloud fairyland, and does not dare to neglect his cultivation in the slightest.

"Xiangtian, how are you practicing the spells that Master Yu Ji taught you?" asked Nanhua.

"It's okay!" Long Xiangtian said with a smile.

Nanhua said solemnly: "It's okay, you have to practice diligently, don't be sloppy, don't think that you are the disciple of my three immortals in the clouds, in the world, there are countless young talents, they may not be born as good as you, they can get our professor, but their diligence and hard work will not lose you." ”

"Yes, yes, the disciple must practice diligently!" Long Xiangtian hurriedly said.

Master Nanhua is not as talkative as Master Yu Ji, but he can't be treated with a hippie smile anymore. Long Xiangtian thought to himself.

Nanhua said: "Xiangtian, in fact, there are many blades that can be used in this world, the main ones are knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hammers, bows and arrows, and hidden weapons and other weapons. ”

"Master Nanhua, I understand. Long Xiangtian said.

Nanhua said: "There is a way to practice for 30 years, 50 years for sword training, sword has to practice for a lifetime, the sword is the emperor of a hundred soldiers, it is easy to practice the sword, it is difficult to practice to the fullest, swordsmanship is the most varied of all martial arts, you can't become a sword without absolute talent, so Xiangtian you have to think clearly, whether to learn or not to learn, if you learn swordsmanship, if the future achievement is not high, it is a waste of time, those time is enough for you to improve many layers of realm." ”

"Master, the disciple is willing to learn!" Long Xiangtian said seriously.

Learn, a fool won't learn it, this is an immortal's swordsmanship! No matter whether his achievements are high or not in the future, the improvement of his realm is empty, and things like swordsmanship are mastered by himself! Long Xiangtian thought to himself.

"Okay, since you are willing to learn, then the master will come to teach you supreme swordsmanship!" Nanhua said as he threw a wooden sword to Long Xiangtian.

So Long Xiangtian followed Nanhua and began to practice swordsmanship.

Just like Yu Ji taught Long Xiangtian to practice spells, Nanhua taught Long Xiangtian swordsmanship and did not often instruct, after teaching the essentials and some matters to pay attention to, Nanhua demonstrated the swordsmanship, and let Long Xiangtian practice by himself, and in the first few days he came to correct Long Xiangtian's movements, and then he came once every dozens of days to check that Long Xiangtian's movements were not in place, and it seemed that they were all busy with something. But these are not important, what makes Long Xiangtian very strange is that Nanhua only teaches a few moves, just the simplest ones.

Chop, slash, stab, cut, slash.

Once Long Xiangtian couldn't help but ask Nanhua, Nanhua told him: "These are indeed the simplest and most basic swordsmanship, don't think that you can learn any exquisite swordsmanship from the beginning, now is the time to practice the foundation, thousands of tall buildings rise from the ground, the most important thing in cultivating swordsmanship is to consolidate the foundation." ”

Well, consolidate the foundation, I didn't expect this Gong to be another three years, every day kept chopping, chopping, stabbing, intercepting, chopping, just like reading in school when I was a child, it was as boring as studying, but Long Xiangtian still persevered, for Long Xiangtian, the benefits of practicing swords are real, and reading, but it is not so easy to see results, after all, looking for a job and not taking scores, but learning swords can make you stronger, plus you already like it, so Long Xiangtian is not a little lazy.

Practicing the sword, practicing the sword every day, just slashing simply, even if Long Xiangtian is already a monk, his body is ten times stronger than before, and there are times when he is weak and tired, but Long Xiangtian always insisted, his shoulder hurts, there is spiritual ointment to cure the pain, the palm is blistered, and there is spiritual water to rejuvenate.

Persistence, persistence, the masters are watching, but you can't embarrass the earthlings! Long Xiangtian thought like this, and after three years of hard training, he persevered like this.

During this period, Long Xiangtian went from practicing wooden swords, to practicing iron swords, to heavy swords, blunt swords, the swords used were getting heavier and heavier, but the speed of dancing swords was getting faster and faster, reaching the point where Nanhua said that lifting weights should be light, but Nanhua said that this is only a point that ordinary monks can reach.

On this day, Nanhua seemed very happy to see that Long Xiangtian was still practicing swords, and came over to Long Xiangtian and smiled: "Xiangtian, I have been practicing swords very hard in the past three years, and I am very pleased to be a teacher, and now your foundation has been initially solid, and you can learn sword moves!"

"Really, Master Nanhua!" Long Xiangtian asked excitedly.

"Of course. Nanhua said with a smile.

Great, after three years of hard work, I can finally learn real swordsmanship! Long Xiangtian shouted, lying directly on the lawn, and smiled in his heart.

"Xiangtian, let me ask you, is there any invincible swordsmanship in this world?" Nanhua asked.

Long Xiangtian hurriedly stood up and replied: "Yes, there shouldn't be, if there is really any invincible swordsmanship, then wouldn't the person who knows that swordsmanship be invincible?"

Nanhua nodded and said: "It's good that you know, in fact, swordsmanship is not good or bad, strong or weak, it's just that the people who use it are different, a person who is a master of swordsmanship, even a simple slash, can also kill a person who makes exquisite swordsmanship, this is the gap in the realm, so now even if you teach you how powerful the swordsmanship is, if you can't stab others, it will be in vain to learn." ”

"Master Nanhua, what do you mean?" asked Long Xiangtian with uncertainty in his heart. He didn't know what Nanhua meant.

Nanhua said with a smile: "As a teacher, I just want to tell you that in fact, no matter what swordsmanship in this world, no matter how subtle it is, there is only one ultimate goal, that is, how to hit the other party, and the method of hitting the other party is not to swing the sword to split, slash, stab, slash, etc., and those exquisite moves, but the swordsmanship has not yet been completed, so you have to use sword moves to confuse the other party, so that the enemy can't tell where you want to attack." ”

Long Xiangtian suddenly realized, and thought to himself: No wonder Master Nanhua asked me to practice basic swordsmanship for three years, it turns out that this is the real supreme swordsmanship! Chop, slash, stab, intercept, slash, all changes are inseparable from their ancestors, no matter how exquisite swordsmanship evolves from these five styles, and I can't get rid of these five styles in the end.

Nanhua remembered: "A person who has not achieved swordsmanship, the five styles he uses are very crude, in the eyes of others, there are all kinds of flaws, and there are countless ways to avoid these simple moves, and then reflexively kill you." ”

"Ah, Master Nanhua, what should I do then?" Long Xiangtian hurriedly asked.

Nanhua smiled: "You just need the sword to be faster than others!"

"Faster than others?" Long Xiangtian felt as if he had heard such a speech somewhere, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly blurted out: "The world's martial arts, only fast is not broken!"

Nanhua praised: "This is exactly what Xiangtian said, the sword makes it fast, even if the other party sees clearly where your sword is attacking, but his reaction can't keep up, naturally he can't stop your attack, or, the other party throws a sword at you, but you are faster than him, you will naturally be one step ahead of him, and your sword is already on his body." ”

Long Xiangtian nodded, thinking that what Nanhua said was very reasonable.

"Therefore, the teacher wants to teach you the "Quick Sword Technique", so that you can make the sword faster. Nanhua said: "But it's not enough to be fast, you still have to be able to dodge the opponent's attack, so the teacher also has to teach you a set of footwork, so that you can be comfortable against the enemy." You listen, this is a set of footwork, but also a set of body method, called "Phantom Swimming Steps", as the name suggests, is to be like a phantom, wandering between square inches, the formula is as follows......"

In this way, Long Xiangtian began his fast sword cultivation again.

It's still a few moves, but it's not like standing still and practicing the sword as before, but moving up and down, moving quickly left and right, the sword is fast, the body is also fast, the figure is like light and electricity, and it can easily kill the enemy's life at every turn.

But the faster it is, the greater the resistance from the wind, the heavier the sword in his hand, the faster his body is fast, but his sword can't keep up, and when he reaches the enemy's side and then swings his sword, it will be slow, what should I do? Long Xiangtian thought to himself.

If the body is standing still, then the sword can be made extremely fast, but it can only be close to the body, and the upper body method, the range of activity is larger, but the resistance is much greater than the resistance of the wind when the sword is not used, the sword will swing up and down uncontrollably, such as into the water, it will naturally slow down, what if this resistance can be eliminated?

Long Xiangtian suddenly woke up and said, "That's right, use the Yuan Force of the Wind!"

I learned from Master Yu Ji how to use the Nine Genus Yuan Force, so I learned that the wind in this atmosphere is composed of the Yuan Force of the wind, and I can use the True Qi to control the Yuan Force of the wind, so that I can spread the Yuan Force of the Wind all over my body, so that I can cover my body with the power of the wind, and I can easily pass through the atmosphere without the resistance of the wind.

The power of wind is the same as the power of thunder, both of which are gathered together to exist instantaneously, similar to the power of thunder formed by the aggregation of yin and yang, the power of wind is formed by the change of hot and cold air, hot air is lighter than cold air, and the hot air will rise and squeeze the cold air in the sky, thus flowing and forming the wind.

Hey, since the Yuan Force of the Wind can be used in swordsmanship, can the Yuan Force of other attributes also be used? Long Xiangtian thought to himself.

In this way, Long Xiangtian pondered by himself and began his own swordsmanship cultivation process.
