On the seventh day of December, Lu Mansion, the back house of the courtyard

More than ten days have passed since the end of the confrontation between Sikong Xi and Cheng Bi.

At sunrise, it snowed heavily. Gu Jiannian today is the winter solstice, so he didn't let Sikong Xi get up in the dark to practice guns. He listened to the sometimes high-pitched and sometimes low-pitched snoring in the dormitory, and he couldn't help but lose his mind.

Two years ago, he had only been in the Lu Mansion for only a year, but he had already subdued all the gentlemen with his extraordinary force. Although he was expelled from the ancient clan on the surface, those gentlemen knew about his background, so no one dared to provoke him easily.

Since childhood, everyone has cowered at him, and every sentence and action seems to have been rehearsed after repeated consideration.

The Ancient Key got up and tossed open the compartment of the window. A cold wind poured straight into his body, and he slammed into him. Outside the window, the rows of attic pavilions seemed to be dressed in white and silver, and under the lonely sky, more than a dozen chickadees flew slowly, occasionally making a scream.

Behind him, Sikong Xi rolled over and stopped snoring.

"Don't lie down when you're awake." Gu Key closed the window, "We'll continue to practice later!" ”

Sikong Xi was silent, but Gu Jian was used to his tricks.

He turned around and pulled Sikong Xi's futon hard. Sikong Xi, who was wearing only a thin coat, screamed strangely.

"What are you doing!"

"Yo, are you up?" The ancient key tossed the mattress onto the desk.

"Begging for a beating!" Sikong Xi glared and snatched the quilt again.

"I really like to beg for beating, why don't you try it?" Gu Key squinted at him.

Sikong Xi snorted and chirped, and reluctantly put on his clothes, "What else can you do besides bully me!" ”

"Don't be unconvinced, except for bullying you, there are really few people in the entire standing guard who can beat me!"

Seeing the snow-white eyes outside the door, Sikong Xi was slightly stunned, subconsciously shrunk his neck, and his steps seemed to retreat. Gu Key glanced at him and pushed him out with his elbow.

"I'm out of the house, and I still want to go back to sleep?"

Gu Key walked over to the knife holder that was resting at the outer end of the courtyard, ripped off a long knife, and carried it behind his back.

"Go get one." He pointed to the knife holder.

Sikong Xi walked through three steps and two steps, stretched out his hand and pulled out the war knife that Lu Biao handed him, followed the ancient key out of the courtyard, and stopped at a distance from the middle house.

"Not going to school?" Sikong Xi was surprised.

"If you don't go, just practice here." Gu Jian held the knife in both hands, slightly straight, "What I want to teach you now is the most customary move, the horizontal knife immediately." ”

After speaking, he leaned forward sideways, and the blade of the knife vibrated slightly, pushing horizontally towards Sikong Xi like a fire burning a prairie fire.

Sikong Xi's face turned pale. This style is quite like breaking the dust in marksmanship, and there are many ways to dodge. But is that all there is to it? He pressed the handle of the knife with his left wrist and the bottom of the handle with his right hand, and also crossed the knife, trying to force the attack against the incoming stab with the broad back of the knife.

Gu Key smiled lowly, leaned forward with an arrow step, and the horizontal knife in mid-air instantly transformed into a slash. Sikong Xi was stunned for a moment, decisively turned his right leg sharply, and dodged with difficulty, and the war knife in his hand swept towards the ancient key.

But the ancient key was not in a hurry or slow, and when he saw that he couldn't get it, he changed his posture and leaned over to block.

"Boom!"

The two knives converged together, causing a huge collision sound, and Gu Jian immediately reacted, and quickly drew the knife to stir the war knife in Sikong Xi's hand, forcing him to withdraw his wrist sharply because he couldn't control the hilt.

only heard a scream, Sikong Xi fell to the ground and wailed, his wrist dislocated due to the inability to retreat.

"Why is it so hard to dismantle!" He let out a low roar at the Ancient Key.

"Don't be in a hurry to complain, this first form is not difficult to say, and it is not easy to learn to say that it is simple." Gu Key stepped forward and took Sikong Xi's hand and snapped his dislocated wrist back again.

"Then you don't need to be so vicious!" Sikong Xi bared his teeth, and he couldn't use his strength for a while.

"You can't say that, if I don't use a ruthless move, you must think that there is no need to learn this style." Gu Jian raised his knife again, "I can see it, you kid saw that I could protect you, so you relaxed your tempering. But have you ever thought that I can protect you for a while, and can I still protect you for a lifetime? And like you, maybe one day I'll pat my ass and walk away when I'm bored! ”

He stepped forward, and without waiting for Sikong Xi to prepare, he slashed again. Sikong Xi gritted his teeth, and the horizontal knife went to block in shock, but the strength of one hand could not be compared with the combination of two hands after all, and the knife fell to the ground again.

"I'll fight with you!" He roared and leaned over, grabbing the knife again, the blade stretched out horizontally, and pounced on the ancient key in a leaping slash pattern.

The ancient key turned the handle of the knife, squatted down with an arrow step, and easily dodged the knife momentum with only one tilt of his head, and at the same time, the handle of the knife rushed out and stabbed Sikong Xi in the abdomen.

"Come again!" Sikong Xi was in pain, but did not retreat, he forcibly raised his right wrist, which was still in pain, and held the knife in both hands to collapse his waist, driving the broadsword in his hand to slash over, and the knife instantly approached the ancient key.

Gu Jian was slightly stunned, leaned out of his left leg, and easily tripped Sikong Xi to the ground with a sweep of dust.

"Alright, that's it." He re-entered the courtyard, inserted the long knife into the knife holder, squatted down and helped Sikong Xi on the ground, "There is progress, at least you won't cower like a woman!" ”

"It's too bullying!" Sikong Xi roared.

"A small amount is not a gentleman, no poison is not a husband." Gu Key said, "If you want to really make you grow, you still have to use ruthless methods!" ”

He faintly noticed that there was a clear upsurge of anger behind him, and the long knife he put back was retracted.

"Good! Since you say so! Then I'll be ruthless again, I really don't believe in this evil! Sikong Xi suddenly broke away from his hands, picked up the knife again, leaned forward in a half-squat, and rushed towards the ancient key.

Gu Jian was stunned for a moment, and shook his head slightly, this kid's blood was surging, and he didn't know what was serious. He leaned forward, grabbed the blade of the knife with a knife posture, and then curled into a claw, grabbed Sikong Xi's wrist very trickily, and shook the knife in his hand with a fierce force.

"I'm impetuous, and I can't control my emotions!" Gu Jian scolded angrily and slapped Sikong Xi on the top of his head, "Are you still the one you used to call Hanako?" If you fight and go crazy, you will die! Do you really think I don't dare to use all my strength? ”

"After going into battle, who cares about those bullshit rules?" Sikong Xi sat on the ground with his ass.

"Training is training, going into battle is going into battle! Okay, since you want to beat me so much. Gu Key pulled him up, reached out and pulled out a short blade from his waist sheath, "Then don't rest, get up, and keep fighting!" ”

Sikong Xi staggered to his feet, holding the war knife with both hands and a little distracted.

Gu Jian took ten steps back steadily, and when Sikong Xi was ready, he sent out a starting message. He pulled out the short blade in his hand, first stabbed directly, and then instantly completed the action of slightly lifting and slashing, a majestic life stab, with absolute overwhelmingness, the blade against Sikong Xi's neck, leaving him no chance to take advantage of.

"If it's going into battle, now you're dead." Gu Key said coldly.

Sikong Xi was stunned for a long time, and the war knife in his hand slowly slipped to the ground.

"I'll practice!"

The ancient key was drawn and sheathed.

"Practice? Lao Tzu wants you to learn now! The ancient key stalked his neck, "The first horizontal knife is the most customary and the most effective!" When marching, the two sides are in battle, with arrows and horizontal swords, which can be attacked and defended! ”

After each of the words, the ancient key will make corresponding actions to demonstrate to Sikong Xi. Sikong Xi also imitated it in a similar way, squatting forward with a slight lunge, the light under his eyes was dim but there was a spirit.

But at this moment, the ancient key suddenly burst out, and the horizontal knife turned into an oblique slash in an instant, and he stopped an inch in front of Sikong Xi. Sikong Xi shuddered fiercely, the knife momentum that was close to the heart was dozens of times superior to Cheng Bi's three-legged cat's marksmanship!

The ancient key retracted the knife very quickly, and the next knife swept over.

Sikong Xi held the war knife fiercely in both hands, as if he was afraid that it would not fall to the ground again. The moves of "Horizontal Knife Immediately" are stacked, and the war knife in his hand vibrates slightly, blocking from the horizontal front, and steadily blocking the oblique slash of the ancient key.

Gu Jian nodded slightly, he just wanted to put away the knife and make the next move, but unexpectedly, there was still a back move after Sikong Xi parried! He was so frightened that he hurriedly grabbed the knife to hide, but found that it was too late, and the knife almost filled his body, making him unable to move!

I saw that Sikong Xi almost instantly completed the drawing of the knife and the back knife, as if he had pulled a full circle, and made a powerful twist, and the twisting momentum drove the war knife in his hand, which was terrifying! Then the knife from the lower right swept upwards. This move is completely capable of cutting off the ancient key that caught you off guard!

Gu Key hurriedly retreated, and fell to the ground, his upper body almost completely soaked with sweat, sticking to his underwear, making it slightly difficult for him to breathe.
