Chapter II. 230. Ancient Jade Sword Immortal
If you talk about Shan Qingquan's martial arts, although it is not as good as his dead third senior brother Lu Xiangyin, it is definitely not a cat or a dog who can live with him in a few moves. Moreover, once Li Le'an can find any way to completely heal the hidden wounds he has been trapped for many years in the future, no one can say what kind of situation Shan Qingquan will be like at that time.
And now this young man who calls himself Wei Gui, just from his figure and movements, it can be seen that even if this kid has worked hard and his swordsmanship is definitely not very good. To paraphrase the words commonly used by martial arts practitioners, it is this child's kung fu, 'not yet on the body'. Just follow his practice method, at most, you can practice a strong body and eat a few more bowls of rice every day; If you count on this kind of ability to fight the enemy, it is better to pull the sword with your backhand and wipe your neck, which will save others trouble.
Although it seems that this is the case with Shan Qingquan's experience in the rivers and lakes, the young master Wang who 'poked the stupid dog on the wall' was full of the four big characters 'determined to win' all over his face at this time.
In fact, Wang Xu's full confidence in 'Brother Wei Xian' is not for nothing.
This is because the daily courses taught by Sanbei Academy are derived from the six arts of a gentleman: etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics. Because Vice Dean Li Deng had traveled all over the world when he was young, and 'quality education' gradually sprouted in his heart, many kinds of small disciplines have been added to these six disciplines.
Wei Gui Wei Zizhong, who was pushed to the front of the stage, has loved swords since he was a child. Of course, he didn't know how to tell the quality, appearance, and purpose of each sword, and as long as he could see it, he thought he would try to buy it back into his own hands. This special hobby was also inherited from his father, Master Wei Quanwei, the supervisor of the Criminal Law Department.
It's all because in Wei Quan, when Lord Wei was young, the most convenient blade was also a sword.
Now Master Wei works in the Criminal Law Department, and it is also classified as a 'subordinate unit' of the Ministry of War that his grandmother is not close to and his uncle is not loved. And whether it is the private army of the Yan family's clan mansion or the Guo family army on Zhongshan Road, they don't even bird this small yamen who nominally manages military law and criminal law on weekdays.
If it weren't for the fact that he could still touch a little bit of the big and important civil cases, just relying on the meager and pitiful court officials, the officials of the Criminal Law Department from top to bottom would have starved the whole family to death.
It can also be said that the place of the Criminal Law Department is the 'trash can' of various departments of the imperial court. The cases they have access to are those that are easy to get into trouble and have no oil or water to fish.
The situation of the entire Criminal Law Department is so pitiful, not to mention that he Wei Quan is only a small prison department?
Therefore, strictly speaking, Wei Gui's child is not the son of an official eunuch, and in a place like Sanbei Academy, where the children of wealthy families are rampant, he naturally inherited his father's position and became the 'dog' of these children of the family.
But he didn't feel embarrassed himself. It's all because his family is ordinary, and he can only barely make ends meet on weekdays by relying on his father's meager income, so how can he have spare money for him to buy his beloved sword? However, since entering the Sanbei Academy, Wei Gui's life has been much better.
After the improvement of Prime Minister Li Cheng, the Three North Academies have added many other martial arts items to the 'shooting' subjects in the six arts, allowing students to choose on their own, and have achieved the purpose of teaching students according to their aptitude. And Wei Gui, who loves swords the most, naturally chose swordsmanship. Of course, the teacher of this discipline is not a peerless swordsman master, but an old dart master who has successfully 'retired safely'. It can be seen that the original intention of the Three North Academies is not to let these gentlemen become the top masters in the rivers and lakes at all.
To put it bluntly, this 'archery' discipline, in the eyes of the two deans, Ni and Li, is just a 'physical education class' to strengthen the body.
Whether it is ancient mythology or today's rumors, masters who are good at using swords abound. Moreover, no matter whether the blade is a long sword or a short sword, it looks so civil and military, and it is so elegant and chic when used.
Therefore, the number of scholars who choose to study swordsmanship subjects in Sanbei Academy is also the largest.
Enthusiasm will never be buried. Wu Gui easily got this opportunity, and he could follow the guidance of the 'famous teacher' and learn swordsmanship orthodoxically, how could this not make him feel excited and then work harder?
As a result, Wei Gui, who was already talented and enthusiastic, soon became the number one kendo master of Sanbei Academy. At the time of the annual assessment, it won the championship with a proud record of complete victory; also relied on his chic sword style, and won the reputation of 'ancient jade sword fairy'.
Of course, this resounding nickname is taken from the word 'gui' in his name.
With the 'Brilliant Swordsmanship' that far exceeded the 'average' of his classmates, this 'Ancient Jade Sword Immortal' also lived an extremely glorious life. Now, he has already become the personal 'bodyguard' of Wang Zhi, the president of the Sanbei Academy, and it is all thanks to the gold and silver things he occasionally 'gives', which can not only supplement his family, but also have spare money to buy all kinds of swords he likes.
It is the so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while. Since you have taken other people's money, you naturally have to help others. Hearing Senior Wang's call, Wei Gui reflexively stood up. Although this was the first time he had fought with someone outside the academy, with the earnest teachings of his teacher, he still did all the etiquette and waited for the other party to strike first.
But the porter opposite him was still motionless at this time, but put the mouthwash cup in his hand on the bench, hugged his shoulders and tilted his head, and stood there looking at himself with interest.
It stands to reason that he is a student after all, and according to the etiquette of the rivers and lakes, he can't make a move before the elderly; But at this time, his words have been explained, and the posture has been laid out during the day, and the other party still has no intention of doing it! You can't just stare at each other and make eye contact with each other all the time, right? Otherwise...... I said to Senior Wang, 'The two of us have already used our minds...... but I guess Senior Wang can't believe it......
"Ahem...... Please advise ......"
This 'Ancient Jade Sword Immortal' didn't come up with any ideas for a while, so he could only ask for battle again with an embarrassed expression. Not to mention that his own heart was weak at this time, those classmates who were waiting to see him show his might, they didn't know what was going on, and looked at each other with inquiring eyes.
I always hear others say that the children of big families, the top ones are all born scene people! At this time, seeing that the situation was stalemate, Wang Zhi said at the right time:
"Since people don't dare to make the first move, junior brother, you can go and restrain him, don't block the way of your classmates. Remember, although this gatekeeper dog is not talented, after all, he is also a slave raised by his master, and he always has to leave some decent ones for the Prime Minister's Mansion. Just restrain it, don't hurt anyone. ”
"Yes!"
When Gu Yu Sword Immortal heard this, his heart suddenly settled: It will be easy to do it when there is a time to make a move!
He gently pulled the hilt of his sword with his left hand, and with the sound of gold and iron unsheathed, the figure of the 'Ancient Jade Sword Immortal' had already rushed out several steps away. The closer the two got, the more Wei Gui could see the look on Shan Qingquan's face...... He can't say what kind of expression it was, but he felt very similar to the look on his father's face when he was young, when he bowed in the courtyard with his father, and whenever he 'won a big victory'......
It is indeed not a comfortable thing to be looked at with the kind eyes of a father by someone who is not his own father. Wei Gui gritted his teeth, his body suddenly accelerated, and he secretly hated in his heart:
"Since you like to watch it, then you can show me clearly! I'll cut a sword on the head, and you'll have to dodge! If you hide, you'll have to tilt your head, right? As soon as you tilted your head, I was right next to your body, and as soon as I turned into your arms, the tip of the elbow of my right arm had already pounced on you...... I'm going to smash you out a ...... with a full face."
Thinking of this, the 'Ancient Jade Sword Immortal' only felt that he was really a martial arts genius that was rare to see in a hundred years, and he couldn't wait to call himself a good one, but unfortunately, the tricks he pondered were not effective, and half of it depended on whether others cooperated or not.
Just like him, he first set up a move in his heart, and then went to fight one by one, so is there still one who will not be beaten?
Facing the sword he cut off on the head, Shan Qingquan didn't even move his eyelids. Just from the way this kid uses his strength and the angle of the sword, it can be seen that this powerful but vain sword must be a trick with poor acting skills; Looking at his left foot that was kicking the ground and pointing obliquely to the side of his toes, Shan Qingquan had already figured out the number of his next move.
In good conscience, this child is not evil-sighted. Now his move, seeing that Shan Qingquan is defenseless and can't bear to hurt his life, he wants to give Shan Qingquan such an elbow on his face. If it is an ordinary person, under his elbow, he broke his nose and saw blood, and he will be completely honest......
Shan Qingquan thought in his heart that this child was kind by nature, and at the same time stretched out the two fingers of his right hand and pinched the sword trick; After that, he used half of his strength and struck the opponent's sword like lightning.
The sword of the 'Ancient Jade Sword Immortal', although it looked menacing, in fact, both sides understood that he didn't have much strength at all, it was just a deceptive trick......
It was too late to say that it was too fast, only to hear the crisp sound of 'pop', and under the knock of Shan Qingquan, the upper half of Wei Gui's plain sword was like a spinning top, spinning in mid-air and flying out in circles for a long distance......
Of course, the 'Ancient Jade Sword Immortal' who withstood the greatest strength was the same as the half-cut sword body that flew out, like a 'long spinning top' flying up in mid-air, turning sideways and rolling in mid-air...... The reason why Shan Qingquan's move was broken to such an extent was mainly because of his carefully planned move 'Spinning Elbow Strike', as early as when he had just taken out the sword, he had already adjusted his center of gravity and carried his strength to his waist...... Now that he has been intercepted by Shan Qingquan halfway, of course, he can only reap the consequences......
The two fought each other this time, and the winner was already divided between the lightning and the flint.
However, the insider sees the doorway, and of course knows that Shan Qingquan is teasing the children; But now these laymen who are watching the excitement are shouting loudly:
"Good! Good swordsmanship! Good body! See? Our Senior Brother Wei is worthy of being a recognized sword immortal in the Three North Academy! If you don't learn swordsmanship, you naturally don't understand, the real peerless sword immortals, but they all fly up and kill people! Have you seen it, Senior Brother Wei's swordsmanship is now considered to be practiced! ”
