Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Sword in the Painting

Yang Ning pondered for a moment, carefully wrapped the flute in black silk again, and put it in the drawer of the dresser, and then arrived in a room opposite. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He thought there was something in this room, but when he entered, he found that it was empty, except for a wooden board in the corner, and a pile of hay piled up on the side.

He walked over and found that in the corner of the wall, there were two brushes and an inkstone, and the ink in the inkstone had already condensed.

He was strange in his heart, secretly thinking that there was a woman living here back then, could it be that this ink inkstone was also left by that woman?

Eyes swept, suddenly found a yellowed paper on the ground, picked up and looked, the paper was very broken, but there seemed to be a picture painted on it, this paper was incomplete, and I couldn't see what was painted on it, I was wondering, but I saw that there seemed to be half a piece of paper exposed under the haystack, and then I removed the hay, only to see that there was a lot of paper messed up in it.

Yang Ning picked up a relatively complete piece of paper, got up and leaned to the window, and took a closer look through the moonlight, and found that there was really a picture of a villain painted on it.

The painter is actually not very good, but it can be clearly seen that the villain in the painting seems to be holding a long sword in his hand, obliquely upward, his legs are slightly bent, and his movements are quite strange.

Yang Ning was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that the woman who lived in this courtyard actually knew swordsmanship?

This picture is clearly a rather peculiar sword move.

He turned sharply, went over and removed all the hay, and then picked up all the papers scattered in the ground, and there were forty or fifty sheets of paper, a thick pile.

Among them, there are more than ten broken sheets, but most of them are still very intact, but they are old and yellow, Yang Ning held this pile of papers, went out of the door, and sat on the threshold in front of the door, he was not worried about being seen, the people of the entire old mansion regarded this courtyard as a ghost house, and no one dared to approach, let alone someone would suddenly come in over the wall.

He looked through them one by one, and sure enough, on these papers, there were sword moves.

The villains on the paper are drawn very casually, just roughly outlining the hands and feet, that is, the long sword in the hand, and it is only a thin long line, but for the moves of the long sword, it is quite expressive.

Except for a few pictures of the people in the painting, most of the movements are strange, some are lying on the ground, some are lying on the ground, some are squatting on the ground, or jumping or jumping, and the changes in sword moves are also strange.

In addition to practicing hand-to-hand combat before Yang Ning crossed, he naturally also practiced using weapons to shoot, although he had never touched this kind of long sword, but the stick was still used, both of which were long blades, although there was a big difference in tricks, but there were still similarities in many places.

But many of the moves in the picture are beyond the scope of what he is familiar with.

He even felt that some moves were impossible to make, completely violating the laws of body movement, such as one of the moves was holding the sword in his right hand, but his right hand was raised above his head, and the long sword was wrapped around his back, obliquely to the left crotch, this action looked extremely awkward, normal swordsmanship, it is impossible to make such a nonsensical move, and in Yang Ning's opinion, such a move does not seem to be able to form any lethality to the enemy.

He suddenly thought that there is a kind of swordsmanship that is not used to hurt the enemy, but for performance, many noble families, there will be a lot of dancing girls in the house, although many dances are to show the softness of women, but there are still some dances that are very special, sword dance is one of them.

This kind of dance also shows its strength and fierceness in the femininity of women, with a sword dance, a combination of rigidity and softness, and has a unique sense of beauty.

However, after all, the sword dance was created for dance, and it only emphasized the peculiarity and beauty of the movements, but had no practical value.

When Yang Ning saw this strange sword move, and the fact that there was a woman living in this house, he immediately thought that these pictures might be a set of sword dances, or maybe the woman was lonely and bored here, so he drew this set of sword dances in his free time.

He thought about it for a while, picked up a wooden stick in the courtyard, imitated the action just now, and raised his right hand high above the top, learning to wrap the wooden stick from the top of his head to his back, and the end of the stick leaned towards his left crotch.

When he put on this pose, Yang Ning felt like a fool, shook his head and smiled bitterly, thinking that he was a big man, if this was a sword dance, if it was a woman's dance, the flexibility of a woman's body might be able to express this posture extremely beautifully, and he was a big man, and he couldn't show beauty anyway.

He dropped the stick, sat down again, looked at a few more, and suddenly frowned, realizing a problem.

Looking at the painting on this picture, it is full of strength, and although it is a very casual sketch, the brush stroke reveals a free and uninhibited meaning.

Yang Ning couldn't help frowning.

He knows that the handwriting of men and women is actually very different, most of the women's strokes are delicate and serious, and the pen power is also quite soft, but these sword strokes are full of freehand and a sense of power, and the pen is very heavy, the brush is different from the fountain pen of later generations, the hair is a soft thing, if it is not full of its own strength, and can carry it freely, a little force, it will make the handwriting out of shape.

Although these portraits are free and freehand, they are not out of shape, the more Yang Ning looks at it, the more he feels like a man's handwriting, and his heart is strange, secretly thinking that there were once men living in this courtyard?

Gu Qinghan said that there used to be a woman, one thing is certain, the former owner of this courtyard must be a woman, even if someone serves here, it can only be a maid and a servant, it is impossible for a man to serve here, what does it matter if the man is the mistress of this courtyard?

While pondering, he flipped through the paper, and it didn't take long for a flash of inspiration in his mind to find a pattern in this pile of drawing paper.

Of these dozens of pieces of drawing paper, seven or eight were lying on the ground, and five or six were squatting on the ground, and the sword moves of the long sword he saw before were not only one, one of them was quite similar to that one, and the right hand was raised above the top, but the long sword did not go around the head backwards, but obliquely to the left front, and the left hand was raised with one palm, sticking to his forehead.

He groaned slightly, and then sorted dozens of pieces of drawing paper, put them all together, and put them together with similar sword moves, and sorted them out for a while, but they were divided into six piles.

His intuition told him that these sword moves were extremely strange, and they were by no means as simple as sword dances, but he was afraid that there was something strange in them.

Although there were also broken papers, Yang Ning still tried his best to restore them, but he couldn't recover them, so he could only judge them based on some residual images.

After dividing into six piles, Yang Ning saw that the few pieces of drawing paper lying on the ground were the most complete and not broken, so he carefully looked at the eight pieces of drawing paper.

When he sorted it out, he had actually seen that the sword moves of these eight pieces of drawing paper were obviously divided into front and back, forming a whole, but there was no number on the picture quality, and there was no indication of which one to start with.

While thinking, while sorting out the order of the eight pieces of paper, the easiest to judge of these eight pieces of paper is the first one, lying on the ground, holding a piece in his right hand, the tip of the sword is slightly raised, and there is not much movement, but it is easy to judge that it is a starting hand.

Yang Ning has practiced fighting, one thing he knows very well is that sometimes the most important thing in a set of kung fu is the first move of the starting style, only if there is no mistake in the starting style, the subsequent move routines can be played, on the contrary, once there is a mistake from the beginning, then the next second move will naturally have a deviation, so it will be wrong all the way.

determined the first move, Yang Ning felt quite difficult when sorting out the moves behind, just because every subsequent move was very strange, and the number of paths was not a sword move that ordinary people could think of, one of which was to raise the left leg slightly, and the long sword actually passed under the leg, obliquely upward, and the posture was extremely strange.

He hopes to find the connection in the picture quality, for example, there is a very natural transition from this move to the next, but the only thing that these eight strokes lie down is that the body is lying down, and it is really difficult to find any connection in the move.

Yang Ning ran over and picked up the wooden stick, lay down on the steps in front of the door, first held the wooden stick according to the starting hand style, thought of the other seven pictures of the action, thought about it, there was no move that could come out naturally like this, he closed his eyes, meditated, a long time passed, suddenly his arm was raised, his wrist turned left, and without waiting for the wooden stick to touch his body, he suddenly pulled it down, and the whole action was like drawing a Wu hook.

He opened his eyes, looked up slightly at his movements, and saw that the long stick in his hand was almost straight with his right leg, only slightly off, and hurriedly sat up, looked at the drawing paper, and saw that one of the drawings was his own movement, but the long sword on the drawing was parallel to his right leg.

Although there was a slight deviation, Yang Ning was still a little excited in his heart, secretly thinking that he had been pondering for a long time, but finally came up with a conversion between the two moves, although he didn't know if it was right or not, but at least he still made an attempt, this action conversion seems simple, but if you can't go deep into it, thinking about how to better fit the hand and the sword, you may not be able to do it.

In fact, Yang Ning didn't know whether the moves on these drawing papers had any value at this time, or if someone deliberately drew these strange movements to kill the boredom, and even the people who drew these pictures might not be able to make these actions, but Yang Ning thought that this courtyard was weird and mysterious, and it was full of mystery in itself.

He inadvertently got the Liuhe Divine Skill from the hands of Mu Shenjun before, and obtained the Getaway from the skeleton, all of which were obtained by accident, the Liuhe Divine Skill needless to say, but the Getaway is magical and mysterious, since he had good luck before, this time these drawing papers, if it is really a swordsmanship, it would be a great pity to abandon it and miss it.
