Chapter 32: Nine Swords

On the morning of this day, Li Zexuan was practicing swords on the lawn of the West Courtyard, yes, he was practicing swords.

Lingxu Zhenren not only taught him the internal strength and body method, of course, he also taught him swordsmanship, Taoist swordsmanship is quite complex, there are many strong heirloom swordsmanship, but Lingxu Zhenren is afraid that he will be greedy and chew too much, so he only taught him a swordsmanship, which is what Li Zexuan is practicing now, called Taixuan Nine Swords.

The Nine Swords does not refer to the nine swords, but this set of swordsmanship contains nine serial sword moves. The Taixuan Nine Swords are the supreme sword technique derived from Li Zexuan's internal strength.

When it is cast, the nine moves are in a row, like a storm, and the nine moves are connected, endless, and people are overwhelmed. And each move will superimpose the power of the next move, and under the superposition of layers of power, the last move will be accompanied by a thunderous sound when the sword is released, and the speed will be like lightning, which is difficult to resist.

After Li Zexuan obtained the memory of this body, he pondered this set of swordsmanship in his heart for several days. As a modern person, Li Zexuan used to scoff at these internal swordsmanship and the like, but after obtaining the memory of his predecessor, and then looking at this swordsmanship, he naturally had some enlightenment in his heart, and this feeling was very magical.

The nine swords of Taixuan are: one sword riding the wind, two swords shocking, three swords stepping on snow, four swords breaking the waves, five swords breaking the dust, six swords flowing clouds, seven swords phantom, eight swords returning to the sect, and nine swords running thunder.

The nine strokes of the sword technique match the nine levels of the Taixuan Sutra, with Li Zexuan's current skills, he can only use the first five moves of the Taixuan Nine Swords, but this is already very powerful, according to his master, with his current cultivation, the younger generation in the rivers and lakes is still unmatched, unless he meets a hermit master like his master, in other cases, his life is still worry-free.

Lingxu Zhenren had already practiced to the ninth sword thunder before his death, according to him, under the nine swords in a row, even the great master master could only hold hatred, but the nine swords were out in a row, the consumption was huge, and after the sword move was released, he basically collapsed.

At present, the generally recognized strength levels on the rivers and lakes are divided into: Qi Induction, Body Forging, Qi Transformation, Grandmaster, and Grand Grandmaster. According to his master's introduction, today, there are only three great grandmasters, of course, his master is one of them, and he is also a top existence, and the other two are Shaolin abbot Xuankong and Turkic national master Wu Tribulation.

As for the number of grandmasters, there is no clear record, but his master estimates that there are dozens of grandmasters in the world.

In my memory, the current martial arts are not as exaggerated as those written in modern Xiuzhen novels, even if they are great grandmasters and masters, their lifespan cannot be extended by hundreds of years, at most, they are not easy to get sick. Although his master has been the Grand Master for many years, he can't escape birth, old age, sickness and death, and he has already passed away at the age of one hundred and twenty-five.

In short, martial arts can only make people more powerful and more vigorous, and they will not let people break away from the category of people and become immortals, they are just stronger than ordinary people, but even the great grandmasters are not willing to fight with a small army.

Moreover, the Great Grandmaster is not an invincible existence, the gap between the Great Grandmaster and the Grandmaster is not very large, if a Great Grandmaster is besieged by a dozen or so Grandmaster masters, he will still die.

Li Zexuan's predecessor had reached the fifth layer of the Taixuan Sutra a year ago, and he was now a master at the peak of Qi Transformation, and when he reached the sixth layer of the Taixuan Sutra, he would be able to enter the ranks of grandmasters.

The Taixuan Sutra has ten layers, but the Taixuan Nine Swords only have nine sword moves, and the predecessor in his memory also asked him why his master was. Lingxu Zhenren only said that there has not been a character who has trained the Taixuan Sutra to the tenth level in the thousand-year history of the Daomen, so there are only Taixuan Nine Swords at present.

At this time, in the west courtyard, Li Zexuan's body shape changed, and the five major sword moves of riding the wind, shocking the flood, stepping on the snow, breaking the waves, and cutting the dust were used one after another, and the grass clippings on his side were flying, and even the peach blossoms that had just bloomed on the two peach trees next to him were swept by the strong wind brought by his sword qi.

"Wow, my brother is so powerful, Lan'er also has to learn swords!" Lan'er saw her brother flying around in the field, with swords shining brightly, like a generation of peerless sword immortals, jumping and jumping there excitedly, shouting that she would also learn this handsome swordsmanship.

Xiaohe and Xiaoxi were also watching from the side, they knew that the young master would be able to do martial arts, but they didn't expect it to be so powerful, especially the fluttering heroic posture of the young master when he danced the sword, it was so handsome, and the two of them suddenly felt their hearts beating.

After practicing these five swordsmanship, Li Zexuan also sweated slightly, took the silk scarf handed over by Xiaoxi, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and then said to Lan'er: "Lan'er, practicing is very hard, do you really want to learn?"

Li Zexuan didn't want to teach his sister martial arts, because it was too troublesome, this girl was obviously three minutes of enthusiasm, and to practice martial arts to his point, he had to endure a lot of hardships, and he was reluctant to let his sister suffer.

"Well, Lan'er has to learn, Lan'er is not afraid of hardship." Lan'er seemed to nod very firmly, she had just been fascinated by her brother's handsome swordsmanship, and she really wanted to learn this swordsmanship.

"But to learn this kung fu, you have to get up and stand on the pile every morning at three watches, and you have to continue to practice regardless of the harsh winter and heat, and then our cute little Lan'er will be tanned into a black girl, Lan'er, do you still want to learn?" Li Zexuan said distressedly.

"Huh?" Lan'er was a little hesitant, which girl doesn't love beauty, don't look at Lan'er is not even seven years old, but the little girl has begun to love beauty, and often asks Xiaoxi for advice on dressing up.

Hearing that the practice was so terrifying, and she had to tan her face, Lan'er flinched a little, although the swordsmanship was handsome, but the tanning became ugly, no matter how good the swordsmanship was, it was useless.

Seeing that Lan'er was a little retreating, Li Zexuan felt a little proud in his heart, and was about to turn around and go back to the room when he heard Lan'er shouting.

"No, stinky brother, you lie, you don't get up until the third pole of the mountain every morning, and you get up later than Lan'er! And brother, your face is so white, you haven't been tanned! After Lan'er reacted, she immediately pulled Li Zexuan and didn't let go.

Eh,, I didn't expect to be caught by my sister as a typical example of sleeping lazily, Li Zexuan was a little embarrassed, so he could only justify himself, lowered his body, looked at Lan'er's eyes, and tried his best to make his eyes more sincere, Li Zexuan brewed his feelings for a while, and said to Lan'er:

"Ahem, Lan'er, your brother and I belong to the kind of talented, amazing, once-in-a-century martial arts wizard, it only took eight years of hard work to learn this martial art, it is difficult for others to learn so fast like my brother.

As for why my brother hasn't been tanned in the past eight years, I can only say that there is a kind of skin that belongs to the natural beauty type, and I can't tan no matter how I tan it, you know? ”

Li Zexuan himself was a little embarrassed to continue, damn, I have never seen such shamelessness.

At this time, I saw Lan'er looking at Li Zexuan with a look of surprise, as if she knew him for the first time, her wide-eyed cute appearance was very cute, Lan'er endured it for a long time, and still said the words in her heart: "Brother, why are you so shameless?" Lan'er is embarrassed to be your sister. ”

……

There was silence all around, and then, "flutter" two coquettish laughter, Xiaohe, Xiaoxi saw that the young master failed to play treasure in front of Lan'er, and finally couldn't help laughing.

Li Zexuan received a 10,000-point crit in an instant, his old face darkened, he glared at the two little maids who were schadenfreude on the side, looked at Lan'er again, and said sadly: "It's heartbroken, little sister, brother, I usually treat you so well, you are so black to me, is it really good?" ”

Hearing her brother's inexplicable words, Lan'er looked confused, and was about to ask a question, when she saw Sanbao walking over to this side.

"Young master, the Cheng family is waiting for you in the front hall, saying that he is looking for you for something, and the master is accompanying you, so you can hurry over." San Bao came over and bowed to Li Zexuan.

Cheng Chumo? What are you doing with me? Do you want me to invite him to eat the nibbled chicken?

Thinking of the last time Shopkeeper Liu looked at Cheng Chumo's resentful eyes, Li Zexuan shuddered, hoping it wasn't like this.

"Lan'er, you go to play with Xiaohe and Xiaoxi, my brother has left beforehand." After Li Zexuan finished speaking to his sister, he turned around and rushed to the front hall.

……

PS: Regarding this book, Xia Ke wants to say that the main line of this book is still history, and the addition of a part of martial arts is just to make the protagonist better pretend to be in the Tang Dynasty. This book doesn't give the protagonist an anti-heaven system, so it's not too much effort to give it!

Besides, the Tang Dynasty originally had the atmosphere of the whole country's admiration for chivalry, from the Li Tang Dynasty to fight against the Sui, to the Li Shimin Xuanwumen Incident, and then to the Tang Dynasty's foreign wars, all of which were heroes of the rivers and lakes, and adding martial arts elements to this book is not nonsense.

This book will take history as the main line and depict the magnificence of history, which will also be interspersed with some chivalrous tenderness. Martial arts is not equal to fantasy, and there will be no nonsense such as calling for wind and rain and soaring in the day.

Ranger was a respected profession in the Tang Dynasty, without the ranger, it would be difficult for Li Tang to overthrow the Sui Dynasty, it would be difficult for Li Shimin to rely on a coup d'Γ©tat to ascend to the throne, and it would be difficult for the Tang Dynasty to win foreign wars in the later period. After the unification of the Tang Dynasty, rangers began to fight in the army to prove their worth, and many rangers embarked on the road of joining the army, making meritorious contributions, and receiving titles.

Chang'an is a heavy ranger, and Luoyang is rich and talented.

The jade sword floats on the clouds, and the golden saddle and the moon bow shines.

The cockfight crossed Weibei and went to the Kanto.

Sun Bin sees it from afar, and Guo Xie communicates with each other.

is not subject to a thousand golden knights, who will talk about thousands of miles.

The general went down to the heavens, and the captives rode into the clouds.

The beacon fire is like the moon at night, and the soldiers are full of rainbows.

rampant favoritism, negative feather far from Rong.

The dragon is dim and foggy, and the birds are swept in the cold wind.

Chase down the Hanhai swallow, and fight the Yin Mountain and the sky.

Come back and thank the Son of Heaven, how can he be like a horse.

Lu Zhaolin, one of the "Four Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty", is the most realistic portrayal of the Tang Dynasty rangers serving in the army to defend the country, reproducing the heroic scene of the rangers fighting for the border, fighting immediately, and not fearing death.

In addition to this, the ranger was also a symbolic spiritual icon in Tang Dynasty society. In the powerful and prosperous Tang Empire, the heroic spirit of advocating martial arts and courage coincides with the spirit of the times. Therefore, it is not surprising that there were many rangers in the Tang Dynasty, and it makes sense to include a martial arts element in this book.

As for the division of martial arts in this book, it is purely apocryphal, and you scholars should not be more serious than chivalry.
