Chapter 195. kendo
Xun Yu didn't know martial arts, but in the few days he got along with Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun talked to him about a lot of martial arts skills, most of which was the mystery of swordsmanship.
Cao Pi was unwilling to fall behind his uncles in martial arts, so he decided to study hard, and on this day, the master and apprentice came to the open area outside the city of Xudu.
Xun Yu asked him to start with the basic moves of kendo - raise the sword!
Cao Pi sneered: "Teacher, although I am not a master, even children can raise a sword this way, isn't it a bit overkill to learn this?" ”
Xun Yu's face was expressionless, and he asked rhetorically, "How many hours can you give?" ”
Cao Pi was silent instantly.
To be honest, he himself had never been exposed to authentic swordsmanship, because he had been watching these big names fight before, so he didn't put his mind on learning swords!
Therefore, the length of time to raise the sword, I have never tried it.
Xun Yu put aside those ancient swordsmanship, let Xun Yu lift the long sword with one arm, and stand for a few hours first, the sword body could not be tilted, Xun Yu didn't know where to find a rope, and there was a small stone hanging at the tip of the sword.
Although Cao Pi had some kendo cultivation in his body, he couldn't let the teacher in front of him look down on him, so he immediately stood under the hot sunlight and lifted it for about half an hour, and finally the sword fell to the ground sonorously, but his arm couldn't bend back.
It turns out that the most basic sword practice is so difficult.
Xun Yu, who was a Wenchen, looked at Cao Pi, who couldn't bend his arms, and wanted to laugh all the time, but he still held back and kneaded Cao Pi's shoulders a little, and after a while, he finally returned to normal and got a little better.
For almost a long time, Cao Pi was raising his sword, and finally practiced to be able to lift his arms for a few hours without sore arms and stiff muscles.
Although Cao Pi cursed in his heart that this action was difficult to see and could not be ugly, he still sincerely admired the teacher, and after a while, Cao Pi noticed that he felt a little different when he held the long sword.
In the following days, Xun Yu just asked Cao Pi to do some simple movements of kendo!
Thorn, tease, split, chop, three groups a day, each group of four thousand.
Cao Pi didn't ask why, just did it.
Xun Yu was happy in his heart, although the kid in front of him was a little light and a little bastard, but the perseverance of this mind was the same as that of Sikong.
Cao Pi smelled the chicken and danced, and went to the side of the barracks to practice swords before dawn every day, working very hard, leaving at sunrise and returning at sunset, never without interruption.
When he returned to the barracks, Cao Pi, like these brothers, did not eat more than others because he practiced swords, and after a few days, Cao Pi's actions were approved by many people!
Xun Yu gradually realized that this young man has a willpower that others do not have, this kind of spirit of drilling the horns of the bull, not hitting the south wall and not giving up.
Cao Pi also began to admire the teacher's training method more and more, and the amount of practice every day was twice the amount prescribed by Xun Yu.
I'm not afraid of geniuses, and I'm most afraid of geniuses and think that I'm stupid birds fly first.
Xun Yu's deliberate difficulty was resolved by Cao Piyun lightly, thinking that the way of the sword was very difficult, so that he lost his way back, Xun Yu realized that Cao Pi didn't seem to want to take any shortcuts to reach the peak of swordsmanship.
Those who practice swords are most afraid of vases.
The sword moves are good-looking, and the dancing tigers are vigorous, and most of them are not as useful as this simple tricks.
It's good to be majestic, but if you really encounter the enemy, the flowery moves are copied, and maybe the enemy can be quietly resolved with just a simple killing move.
There is no trick to win, and what is said is true.
Cao Pi insisted as always, and this practice turned out to be a long time.
The originally fair and handsome skin was a little blackened, especially in the summer season, there would be many sunburns on the body of the drinking wind, and at night the pain was unbearable, Cao Pi gritted his teeth and insisted, keeping his mouth shut.
And the skin like a handsome scholar has also become extremely strong at this moment, and the unicorn arm is getting thicker and thicker, and the pimple flesh on the whole body begins to appear.
But Cao Pi knew that his swordsmanship had not entered the stream.
Xun Yu complained bitterly to him every day with Cao Cao's march, and he had to find time to practice swords at night and during the day, looking at Cao Pi with tough arms, he said slowly: "Practicing swords is like mountaineering, one step at a time, encountering ruggedness, it is inevitable to landslide, many people want to find a shortcut to the south, but what if you reach the peak, it is still just a decoration that can be broken with one blow, do you know the deep meaning?" ”
Cao Pi smiled: "Remember to be opportunistic!" ”
Four actions a day are inevitably boring, Cao Pi asked: "Teacher, the sword is the king of weapons, it is easy to get started, but it is not easy to practice to Dacheng, and now all the generals in Cao Mansion are studying swordsmanship, why do I still practice this extremely simple action?" ”
Xun Yu said with a smile: "Although these tricks are simple, but the sword skills in the world are varied, and then they are boasting, not still made up of these tricks, there is a sequence of smelling the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry, this is the truth in the sword!" ”
Practicing swords, no more than those sour and elegant people climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, of course, you have to find the truth.
The rope is sawed and the wood is broken, and the water drops are worn by the stone, maybe not only the practice of the sword, but also the word persistence is inseparable from doing anything.
I just don't know if the whimsical Cao Pi in front of me can survive until the day when the sword is completed.
In the twilight, two people climbed the mountain along a winding path.
Although the trees are no longer green, they do not affect the several green buildings.
Xun Yu stood at the peak, pointed to the waterfall like a Guanyin hanging bottle, and said: "From now on, you can carry out the next stage of practice, do you see the waterfall leading to the Taiye Pool, when the sword tenacity crosses the waterfall and the sword body is not bent at all, the foundation of your sword gate can be regarded as completed." ”
Cao Pi looked at the turbulent waterfall in front of him and kept silent, but his face was much more resolute.
A big moon in the sky is like a huge jade plate, and in the sky without the sun, he is the most powerful existence.
Xun Yu stepped on the bluestone slab and went down the mountain in the cold moonlight.
The cold wind was fierce, and the flying snow hit the handsome cheeks of the drinking wind, and the young man did not move, and the robe behind him flew up, which was extremely difficult to learn.
Cao Pi pulled out the sword rewarded by Qing Cao Cao, and played the common four tricks on the peak of the back mountain covered with heavy snow.
Sword moves are not comparable to sword skills and swordsmanship, there are no routines at all, there are only a few points to pay attention to, that is, the strength, angle, and accuracy of the sword.
The fluency of swordsmanship lies in the connection between the sword moves without pause, the sword should be fast, the sword body should be flat, and strive to be completed in one go, leaving no gap between the flow of sword momentum.
And after countless bloody battles in the rivers and lakes, there are no tricks to win, almost all sword techniques and swordsmanship, no matter how fast the sword is, but there is no sword move in the opponent's sword, how can it break the sword.
This is the way of the sword that Cao Pi wants to specialize!
