Chapter 153: Sword Trial
"When I go out, stay at the door, and don't call anyone to disturb me for an hour." After Bai Ze put down the dishes and chopsticks and finished eating, the "guards" who followed Old Man Wei in immediately approached to clean up, and as soon as he walked out, the voice of the old man came from behind him.
The man answered, turned his head and went out, and when the door was pulled shut from the outside, Old Man Wei suddenly brought back a rectangular box from the corridor at the door, then opened it and took out two swords from inside, took one for himself, and handed the other to Bai Ze.
"Old man, this is to instruct me in swordsmanship?" Bai Ze's heart moved, and he was immediately happy.
After such a incident, Wei Tianzi was still hospitalized, and I thought that Mr. Wei would never be in the mood again, "arguing with himself", and then wanting to study other people's Wudang sword scores, but I was afraid that it would be postponed indefinitely.
But I didn't want this old man to talk and talk, and he didn't delay at all, and brought the sword to the hospital ward. No wonder the guard stopped when he came in just now.
"We who practice swords, rely on the hands and feet, if you can't think about it from time to time and indulge yourself thoroughly, then don't think about practicing a good sword. Since the injuries on your body are no longer serious, I will come to talk to you about my swordsmanship. Old Man Wei stroked the long sword in his hand, and there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes as he spoke: "However, before that, I still have to make some things clear to you." ”
"What?" Bai Ze couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this.
"When I was a teenager, I was fortunate to meet Yang Kuishan once in Tianjin, and his master was the sword immortal Li Jinglin, and he told me a truth, 'In addition to the basic skills, swordsmanship still has to be fought in actual combat after all, and the best actual combat is to test the sword with people'."
"Take someone to test the sword ......." Bai Ze's brows frowned in the middle, and then he remembered some of the words that Mu Dao had said at the beginning, and immediately nodded: "In fact, after swordsmanship and boxing are practiced to a certain level, the principles in them are all the same. When I first practiced swords, I was shaking the sword, and then I could learn to stand on the pile to practice qi and the most basic four mother swords, until finally I was leaving, and the Taoist who taught me swordsmanship was willing to teach me the real killing method, and as soon as I got started, I used the acupuncture bronze man that completely imitated the human body. The purpose is to put people first, so that I can remember all the parts of the human body. ”
Old Man Wei listened quietly, and nodded from time to time: "Sword, murder weapon." Swordsmanship is originally the purest killing technique, my father's generation was killing people on the battlefield, I was looking for actual combat in special work, and if you want to practice swords, you can only find someone to try the sword. And the sword of my faction was originally practiced by two people, what do you think of the old man, how about I come to you as a sparring partner? ”
"You're going to test my sword?" When Bai Ze heard this, his heart moved, "Originally, I just wanted to take this old man's family heirloom sword book for a few days, and it would be good...... This old man has been practicing swords for decades, and in terms of skills alone, he is far above me, and if I can try my sword practice with him, it will be a great thing for me. ”
"Since you don't object, let's start here. As long as Tianzi is not discharged from the hospital for a day, I will accompany you to practice for a day! Old Man Wei saw Bai Ze's intentions, and his face was full of smiles.
"This ...... I do not quite understand......! Bai Ze is not a stupid person, and after a turn of his mind, he realized the strangeness in this matter. Although Old Man Wei is a "warm intestine of the ancient way", he is sympathetic to the younger generations, and he can't bear to lose the family swordsmanship in his own generation, but borrowing sword books is already the limit, how can he still treat Bai Ze such an outsider so "wholeheartedly".
You must know that a master trying a sword is not just as simple as a sparring partner. Everything must start from actual combat, except for life and death, everything else is no different from actual combat, just try a game, it is equivalent to fighting desperately with the opponent, the sword has no eyes, and you will be injured and see blood when you move.
This simply doesn't make sense.
"Do you think something is wrong? Want to ask why I'm doing this? Bai Ze's reaction now seemed to have been expected, Old Man Wei suddenly laughed, and he didn't hide it, only stretched out two fingers, and said solemnly, "First, Tianzi is my lifeline, if you save her, it is equivalent to saving me, this is the best reward I can give you." Second, in my life, although I have practiced swords, and I have killed many people because of this, I am not in the rivers and lakes, and there are some things that I can't do with my current identity and status. So I hope to form a good relationship with you through this matter, and those who hurt Tianzi must be punished. It's as simple as that. ”
"You already know?" Bai Ze asked quietly.
"It's pretty much what I guessed. Although they are going for you, the cause of the incident is still here in Tianzi, I have already stepped down from above, although there are still some relationships and old friends, but most of them are also in the security bureau, and I can't interfere in political matters casually. However, since the little rabbit cub of the Zhang family dares to be so unscrupulous, then my old man will not let it go easily, if you are willing, then I will create some opportunities for you at a certain time and place ....... Of course, this kind of thing is all up to you, I won't force you, as long as you can endure it and not retaliate, then it's only because I haven't said these things to you. ”
Old Man Wei sat at the head of the bed, smiled, and did not hide his purpose at all when he spoke.
Okay, that's it. Bai Ze nodded. Zhang Peixuan didn't intend to let it go, but this person was born in a powerful family, and he was surrounded by huge forces, so he could mobilize a large number of gunmen and weapons, and under normal circumstances, it was not too simple to kill.
But Old Man Wei is different from him, this old man has a special background, even if he is idle at home, he is a lot older, but his influence is not small, I don't know how many people in the Central Security Bureau are his subordinates in the past, and the cadres he promoted, with him coming forward to create opportunities in secret, it is much easier for Bai Ze to kill Zhang Peixuan.
"In that case, let's get down to business and don't delay our efforts." Old Man Wei saw Bai Ze's refreshment, and his heart was also relieved, he had tried the sword with Bai Ze and partnered, and he already knew Bai Ze's power, otherwise he wouldn't have seen Hunt Xinxi take the initiative to take out his family heirloom sword book to show the other party.
However, after experiencing yesterday's incident, many aspects of information continued to be collected into his hands, and he repeatedly took out the pictures of the scene to observe and analyze, and he realized that he still greatly underestimated Bai Ze's strength.
That's a whole formation of elite mercenaries and two master-level Southern Boxing masters, such a force, put in some backward areas abroad, can even start a small-scale war. can survive under the siege of these people, or almost annihilate the other party's record, I'm afraid that no one will believe it when I say it.
Old Man Wei had personally experienced the war before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it was because of this that he truly understood Bai Ze's terribleness.
"Bai Ze, your boxing skills are ten times better than mine, I think you have really stepped into the realm of the inner master, and then you turn to learn swords from here, your own foundation is already first-class, and practicing is naturally twice the result with half the effort, and the progress is fast. And the Wudang sword I practiced is actually not magical, in the final analysis, it is just a way of yin and yang, yang is rigid, yin is soft. If you practice swordsmanship well, it is nothing more than four words like an arm, you don't understand this truth, a sword is a sword, a person is a person, and practicing a lifetime can only be regarded as a 'sword dance'. The swordsmanship of the Wudang School originated from Taoism, began with Tai Chi, and took the road of integrating yin and yang, rigidity and softness. ”
"Negative yin and embrace yang, and use rigidity with softness." Bai Ze pondered the meaning of this sentence carefully, but the more he thought about it, the tighter his brows wrinkled.
All things are negative yin and embrace yang, impulsive and think that it is harmonious, this is the Taoist Tai Chi thought, the most primitive Tai Chi is from this, and the use of softness, which seems to be in the boxing method can not be equated with the so-called "soft to overcome the rigid" to explain.
…………………… Bai Ze is a master of boxing, and he is very proficient, as soon as he hears these eight words, he immediately thinks of the world-famous "Taijiquan", but if he wants to put this sentence in swordsmanship, he always feels a little puzzled. Mu Dao people passed on his swordsmanship, although he also claimed to be an inner family, but it originated from the pre-Qin, and later began in Wudang The inner family fist sword is very different, and it corroborates each other, although there are some gains, but the diaphragm in the middle is really not small, how can he fully comprehend it for a while.
Because of this, he wanted to learn from it, but he also felt a little uncomfortable.
Old Man Wei's vision is so spicy, as soon as he saw Bai Ze silent, he knew what he was thinking, and he didn't shy away from it at the moment, and pointed out sharply: "After all, your boxing is from the outside in, and you start with the outside kung fu, which is a little different from the inner boxing as soon as you get started, and now the realm of your boxing is far above the swordsmanship, and when you practice the sword, you will be affected by instinct unconsciously." If you want to completely correct it, it will definitely take a while to get used to it. But don't be in a hurry, just take your time. I'll first communicate with you the swordsmanship principles I know, and after you listen to them, I will confirm them with myself and figure it out slowly. ”
"Negative yin and yang is Tai Chi, which runs through swordsmanship, talking about the change of yin and yang, talking about the strength of the sword, if you want to just use your mouth, but it is not easy to explain clearly, you can only be in the continuous practice, slowly experience, I can't help you too much. It's easy to say with the sentence Rou, for example! You know that there is a story in "Zhuangzi" about "Ku Ding Solving Cows", the beef is rough and thick, and a knife can't kill a few cows before it collapses, but there is a butcher who still uses a knife for many years and is still as sharp as new. ”
"I see!" Bai Ze's heart was clear, and he hurriedly nodded after being taught.
Sure enough, it is a true word, and a false transmission of ten thousand scriptures.
Old Man Wei paused, thought for a moment, and then said slowly: "Wudang's swordsmanship has three different truths. First, the top and bottom are connected, hand and brother, inside and outside. The outside is the hand, eye and body steps, and the inside is the essence and divine power, condensed into one, sincere in the middle and form outside. The second is not to leave. Don't lose it, don't top it. Don't forget, don't help. This is about the kung fu of luck, the person who practices the sword and the person fights, the most taboo is to use the sword as a knife, slash wildly, use the way of the sword, keep one mind, move with the waist, lead the momentum with the step, follow the strength of the other party, lead the other party's strength sword, look for opportunities, take advantage of the gap. The third is unintentional, it is sincere. It means that if you practice swords for a long time and use a sword, you will naturally shoot a sword, and you don't need to consider whether you have a good move, and you can have swords everywhere without a sword all over your body. ”
"You remember these truths, Wudang's fists and swords are connected, and after practicing for a long time, you will naturally understand. And these truths are inseparable, when practicing swords, you must take them all into account, to give you a categorical explanation, just for easy to explain. ”
Old man Wei was born before liberation, and he also went to private school when he was a child, so he still has a bit of the taste of literati in the old society.
However, the truths in these Wudang swordsmanship have been summed up by the masters of the past dynasties, at least pointing out a clear path for him, so that he will not have to grope for himself and have no basis.
If you want to attack jade with the stones of other mountains and enrich your swordsmanship, you can't just learn another swordsmanship. No matter how many swordsmanship you know, you can't integrate it well and become your own thing, it's just a number in the end.
"The sword walks lightly, holding the sword in one hand, and pinching the sword fingers with one hand, which can not only follow the shape in actual combat, point to people's acupoints, but also gather the mind, and always beware of the opponent's close attack and grappling. In my experience, when fighting or fighting swords, in addition to the body and footwork under the feet, the wrist has to move, at the beginning it is a false move, the sword flower is dazzling, shaking his eyes, there is no opportunity to create an opportunity, as long as the time comes, the false move will immediately turn into a real move, and the sword will be out in an instant, and it will go into the gap to hurt people. There is a change between the virtual and the real here, and the problem of grasping the fighter plane, if you want to master it, you must actually fight. ”
"Come on, let's try it first."
As soon as Old Man Wei spoke, he immediately raised his sword and took a few steps back, full of energy, his eyes were shining, he held the sword lightly with one hand, and pointed at it with the other, hiding it under his ribs.
Bai Ze also stood up and pushed the hospital bed back. His ward was a high-level ward of the military hospital, with a large area, and as soon as the bed was removed, there was an open space of more than ten or twenty square meters in the middle, which was enough for the two of them to test their swords.
"You haven't learned the sword yet, this time I'll attack first, you take a good look!" Seeing Bai Ze's figure standing still, Old Man Wei immediately swung his sword and brushed! Brush! Brush! Three swords in a row.
The old man didn't move under his feet, but with a flick of his wrist, the sword light in the ward immediately flashed, and the silver light was dazzling, and with a shake of his hand, he turned out three sword flowers with the size of a bowl, almost sealing all the space in front of Bai Ze. People have to look at it.
Bai Ze has also practiced swordsmanship so far, and knows that the virtual reality in swordsmanship is not a change, you think it is false, and if you don't resist, it will become real in a blink of an eye. If you think it's real, and you rush out of the sword, you may suddenly become virtual and powerless. So when I saw the dazzling sword flower in front of him, I didn't want to think about it, holding the sword was a stab, and it was a move in his eyebrow sword nine potential stabbing method to stab into the body.
The human sword is like a whole, every movement moves, the shot is accurate and fast, and the sword to the sword is used to accurately stab the long sword in the hand of the old man Wei, but at the moment when the tips of the two sides collide, there was a soft sound, and the old man Wei suddenly took a small step to the left side under his feet, and at the same time twisted his waist, short cloth, around the body, the sword stood in the blink of an eye in his hand, and the swords of the two people staggered in the air, making a piercing sound of scraping.
Bai Ze's sword missed, the strength in his hand was loosened, and his body couldn't help leaning forward, but he didn't want Old Man Wei's body to twist, he suddenly started and turned over, and the sword light flashed, and he wrapped the sword in his hand and stirred it around, Bai Ze was twisted by this, his wrist shook, and he actually had some uncontrollable trends.
With a sword!
Start with a turn-over belt, and wrap the silk up close!
As soon as the move was successful, Old Man Wei still didn't stop, the whole person's body seemed to be attached to the sword in an instant, and in an instant it changed from one-handed holding to two-handed holding, the tip of the sword was only one step ahead, the immortal pointed the way, and the next moment it was accurately pointed in front of Bai Ze's throat.
A little cold, like a meteor in the dark night, Bai Ze's complexion changed, and he immediately let go of his hand and threw his sword, his two hands slammed together in the middle, and with a snap, he just caught the tip of Old Man Wei's sword in front of his throat.
Old Man Wei's face also changed, his wrist flicked, he pulled back, the sword was clamped, and he didn't move at all: "I already knew that you would definitely abandon the sword and use your fist in the end." This also shows that what I just told you is not wrong. Your boxing skills are so good that they have affected your swordsmanship, and if you want to improve, you have to forget about your fists and feet for a while when practicing swords. ”
"I'll try to see it!!" Bai Ze immediately smiled bitterly, this time the fight was not quite the same as the previous battle when they used to refer to the sword in the big theater, after all, there is a big difference between having a sword and not having a sword in the hands of a real swordsman. "The old man's swordsmanship is really powerful, in terms of skill alone, I am too much worse than you, last time I tried the sword with you, I can refer to the sword and go back and forth a few times, but this time I can't even change my moves, I'm really ashamed."
Indeed, Old Man Wei's kung fu is all on a sword, there is a sword without a sword has a huge impact, this time it is just a try, there is no real thing, otherwise as long as the old man's speed just now is a little faster, Bai Ze abandons the sword and uses his fist is useless, as long as people turn their hands slightly and the blade turns, they can break his "empty hand into the white blade".
If there is another "divine weapon", sharp enough, only one sword can be strangled down, even if Bai Ze has an iron cloth shirt to protect his body, and he is invulnerable, he can also abolish his two hands in an instant.
This is where swordsmanship is more terrifying than boxing.
"Old man, with your move just now, your body is attached to the sword, and it seems that you have become one with the sword?" Bai Ze frowned and asked in surprise.
At the same time, comparing this sword with the memory of the wooden man, he felt that something was not right.
