Kou Zhong got up from the ground, patted the dirt on his body and complained, "The master is playing tricks on us again, and every time he has to let me and Xiaoling fall a few times, it's too bad." “

Dugu Feng snorted coldly and said, "You are embarrassed to say that the sword is like a knife, and the strength is heavy when the sword is moved, and the momentum is enough, but there is no trace of swordsmanship." Have you forgotten all the basics of swordsmanship that I told you? ”

Kou Zhong couldn't help but feel embarrassed, scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "What the master taught me is that I always feel that the sword is light and fluttering, and the stabbing is not strong enough, so it is not as refreshing as a sword to slash." A dozen of the joy is forgotten. ”

Dugu Feng frowned slightly when he heard this, Kou Zhong used a knife in the original book, but he didn't expect to show this tendency now. Although with Kou Zhong's qualifications, if you learn swords under her guidance, you can become a generation of masters, but at most your achievements will stop at ordinary innate masters. Every grandmaster-level master must find his own path, such as her grandmother You Chuhong, who also abandoned the sword and staff when she was about 60 years old and created her own cloak and staff method to become a grandmaster-level master. A person can only hope to reach the top if he takes the path that suits him best, and if he barely takes the path that is not suitable for him, he will only become more and more mediocre. If he forced Kou Zhong to learn swords, it would be a bit of a waste of his talent for using swords. Thinking of this, Dugufeng changed some of his original thoughts.

Dugu Feng thought about it, let go of Kou Zhong and turned to Xu Ziling: "Xiaoling's swordsmanship is good, but as a swordsman, the only thing you can trust is the long sword in your hand, the so-called unity of human sword is to treat the sword as a part of your body, and the sword is an extension of your body and will." You end up throwing your sword and punching, and although the opportunity is good, this kind of behavior is seriously unqualified as a swordsman. Although the swordsman does not require that the sword is in the person and the sword is dead, but once the sword is out, there must be nothing other than the sword. If you don't even believe in the sword in your hand, then what kind of swordsman are you doing. ”

Xu Ziling was very convinced by Dugufeng's words, although he was more talented in using swords, but he preferred the feeling of freedom with empty hands, and he always used foreign objects when using weapons, and subconsciously felt that he was not as reliable as his own hands. Therefore, he nodded and said, "What the master taught me is that I was wrong." ”

Dugu Feng smiled slightly: "It's not your fault." Although you are very talented, your temperament is not suitable for the use of swords, and I am wasting your talents by forcing you to use swords. Xiaoling, do you prefer to be empty-handed? ”

Xu Ziling nodded when he heard this: "Yes, I think it's better to be empty-handed, and the speed of the shot will always be a little faster than with a sword, and the control will be more satisfactory." ”

For Xu Ziling's kung fu, Dugu Feng, who has seen the legend of the Tang Dynasty Shuanglong, is naturally clear, and Xu Ziling's nine-character mantra in the original book is a very impressive martial arts, but Dugufeng does not plan to let him learn the nine-character mantra of Buddhism, not to mention that the compatibility between Xu Ziling's temperament and Taoist thought is far more than that of Buddhist thought, and learning Taoist martial arts is more effective with half the effort. And in detail, Taoism also has a set of nine-character mantras, Dugu Feng once heard the master talk about it, it is said to be a set of Taoist secret qi forbidden techniques, which is very wonderful, but the master said that it was not compatible with her heart, so he did not pass on her. Thinking of this, Dugu Feng couldn't help but glance at Xu Ziling again, Xu Ziling was born with the intention of being out of the dust, and his personality was like an idle cloud and wild crane, he was simply a natural disciple of the Daomen, if the master saw it, I am afraid that he would be as happy as Daoxin saw Hongren!

Dugu Feng pondered for a moment, and said to Xu Ziling: "You and Xiao Zhong's talent is so good, it is rare to see it in a hundred years, since you like to be empty-handed, forcing you to learn swords, I am afraid that it will restrict your development." In this way, you don't have to learn swords from me in the future, I will pass on your kung fu! ”

Although Xu Ziling likes to use swords very much, he prefers the feeling of being empty-handed, and he is also very happy when he hears this: "I am willing to listen to the master's arrangement." ”

Dugu Feng said again: "Xiaoling, your heart is very suitable for Taoist martial arts. I happen to have a set of Taoist Taijiquan here, which was created by my brother Duguyun. It's just right for you, so let's learn this set of Tai Chi first! "In the previous life, when Dugu Feng went to college, there was an elective physical education class was Tai Chi, after coming to this world, out of a certain complex, with the Taoist martial arts he had learned, combined with the Tai Chi posture and concept he had learned in his previous life, he created the Dugu Feng version of Tai Chi, which was the signature martial arts carefully prepared by her for her Dugu Yun identity. It's just that she herself focused on kendo, and after her kendo cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, she gave up the development of her fists and feet. Since Xu Ziling is suitable for the development of fists and feet, Dugufeng is also very willing to teach him Taijiquan, and looks forward to him carrying forward Taijiquan and walking out of a path that she has not had the opportunity to walk.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were still on their second trip to hear Dugu Feng mention Dugu Yun, and Kou Zhong interjected curiously: "Tai Chi? What a majestic name, I don't know which one is more powerful than the Heart Sword Divine Technique? ”

Dugu Feng glanced at him, didn't answer him, and asked, "What do you think!" ”

Kou Zhong was glanced at by the master, only to feel like he was being pricked by needles all over his body, and hurriedly smiled: "If you want me to say, of course it's the Heart Sword Divine Technique." Master, isn't the martial arts you created powerful! ”

Dugufeng ignored his sycophants, but turned his head and asked Xu Ziling again: "What do you say?" ”

Xu Ziling thought for a while and said: "The master should mean that there is no strongest martial arts in the world, only the strongest people. No matter how good martial arts are, they can only exert their greatest power in the right person. The master asked me to abandon the sword and learn Tai Chi, which should be the same reason. ”

Dugu Feng nodded appreciatively, revealing a teachable look, and said, "Xiaoling, you are very suitable for learning Taoist martial arts. In addition to the family martial arts, half of what I have learned comes from Louguandao. After you return to Chang'an with me, I will take you to see my master, that is, your ancestor, and you can ask his old man to guide you in Taoist martial arts. ”

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were still hearing Dugu Feng mention their own teachers for the first time, and they were both unfamiliar and curious about the name Lou Guandao.

Seeing that Dugu Feng had already arranged for Xu Ziling, Kou Zhong hurriedly shouted: "Master, Xiaoling already has a suitable martial arts to learn, what about me?" ”

Dugu Feng glanced at him and said, "You go and get a knife." ”

Kou Zhong was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Sure enough, the master understands me, and he actually knows that he likes to use knives." He ran back to the room and got a knife out. He ran to Dugu Feng like a treasure, and said with his head held high: "Please give me advice." ”

Dugu Feng said: "Since you like to use knives, play two tricks for me first." ”

Kou Zhong knew that the master had the intention to test him, so he shook his spirit, pulled out the treasure knife in his hand, came to the center of the courtyard, gathered his mind, and used the heart of the angry sword to enter the mysterious realm of spiritual separation. According to the feeling gained from more than a dozen battles along the way, he danced to himself.

He danced this set of knife techniques is the most popular road on the rivers and lakes, but he has gone through more than a dozen battles, and he is immersed in the anger of seeing Xu Ziling seriously injured that day, and he is within reach, but he has no time to rescue.

"Splitting Huashan", "Sweeping Thousands of Troops", "Mount Tai Pressing the Top"...... These ordinary Jianghu moves, the more you use them, the more they are used, the more they dance, and when they are excited, a cold knife burst out on the blade.

Dugu Feng nodded secretly when he saw it, Kou Zhong really had the talent of a knife, some ordinary moves in the rivers and lakes, and actually gave him a battle array to fight, you can see that the knife strength forced on his blade is not that he deliberately instigated the internal strength to urge, but naturally burst out, to this extent, there is only one step away from comprehending the sword qi.

After watching it for a while, Dugu Feng stopped Kou Zhong, Kou Zhong was dancing excitedly, stopped when he heard the words, and said excitedly: "What does the master think of my knife skills?" ”

A smile escaped from the corner of Dugu Feng's mouth and said, "Very good." ”

Kou Zhong was about to cheer when he heard this, but he heard Dugu Feng say next: "It's just right to prune flowers and plants." ”

Kou Zhong was stunned when he heard this, but he saw that Qingxue Xu Ziling Duan Yucheng was snickering. Qingxue gently pointed to the flowers and plants in the yard at him, and Kou Zhong realized that he was excited about dancing just now, and the unintentional knife force actually stirred up the yard full of fallen leaves and flowers, and it was a mess everywhere.

Dugu Feng ignored Kou Zhong's embarrassment and said, "I see that you are imposing when you dance the sword, and you have a bit of a battlefield fighting taste, which is not suitable for Taoist exercises." It is suitable for the martial arts path of battlefield killing. I happen to have a set of 'Long March Knife Technique' here that is very suitable for you to learn. "Dugu Feng has tried a lot of ways before the success of the heart sword magic trick, and has also created a lot of semi-finished martial arts, this Long March knife method is a more successful work, although this set of knife techniques is named after Kou Zhong's knife method of the same name in the Tang Dynasty comics, but the actual heart method is taken from the broken mountains and rivers, the new artistic conception of the blood and fire revolution, the core is "only sacrifice more ambition, dare to call the sun and the moon for a new day" The will of the anti-sky revolution, strong is strong, but it is also inconsistent with Dugu Feng's character and was abandoned. Now it is suitable to teach Kou Zhong.

Kou Zhong listened excitedly and said, "Long March knife technique? I like this name, it sounds very powerful, master teach me quickly! ”

Dugu Feng smiled slightly: "This set of Long March sword techniques, like the master's heart sword magic technique, Xiaolingxue's Taijiquan, are all self-created exercises, except for my heart sword magic technique because I have been immersed in it for many years, it has reached the realm of perfection, the other two are not yet perfect, you need to constantly experience and supplement yourself, how much you can achieve in the future, it depends on your comprehension." Do you have faith? ”

Hearing that the Long March sword technique was not perfect, Kou Zhong was not discouraged, but said with full fighting spirit: "Master rest assured, we are confident." Master, didn't you say it, only the most suitable martial arts for yourself are your own, the martial arts of the predecessors are not all self-created, the master can create a set of heart sword magic tricks, we will naturally not embarrass the master, we must carry forward the martial arts passed on by the master. ”

Xu Ziling on the side also nodded vigorously, agreeing with Kou Zhong's words very much.

Dugu Feng admired the attitude of the two very much, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, my apprentice should have such ambition." In fact, if you follow in my footsteps, it is really a constraint on your development. However, I will also teach you all the seven tips of my heart sword, swordsmanship, fist technique, knife technique, there are many things to figure out, if one day you can completely digest and absorb my sword technique, create your own mind fist method, heart knife knife method, then martial arts can be regarded as a great achievement. ”

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling nodded vigorously together, and said solemnly: "We will definitely not disappoint the master." ”

After setting the path of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, Dugu Feng did not forget that he had another apprentice, and beckoned to Duan Yucheng: "Yucheng come here!" ”

When Duan Yucheng approached, Dugu Feng asked, "After listening to what I told your two senior brothers, what do you think?" ”

Duan Yucheng said: "The disciples are not as good as the two senior brothers. Originally, seeing that the two senior brothers were younger than him, he was still faintly unconvinced, but after watching the drills between them and the master, Duan Yucheng found that the strength of the two senior brothers was above him, especially the understanding shown by the two of them, which made Duan Yucheng even more admired.

Dugu Feng smiled: "Yucheng, you don't have to be arrogant. Although your two senior brothers stepped into the innate realm by chance, ascended to the sky in one step, and saved a lot of trouble, but in the end, the foundation is not solid. Your two senior brothers are superior in understanding, suitable for self-cultivation and self-realization, and find another way, but you are better at a solid foundation, a solid foundation, the most suitable for steady and steady progress, along the road of the predecessors to climb the steps, to the heights, the two are not superior, just to see whether it is suitable or not. As the saying goes, 'the master leads the door, and the cultivation is in yourself', your future achievements will depend on your own efforts and luck, and all I can do as a master is to teach karma and solve doubts, and you have to find your own way. ”

Duan Yucheng nodded, and said with a straight face: "Disciple understands. ”

Dugu Feng said again: "Your two senior brothers' martial arts paths are obviously different from mine, but they can't inherit my Heart Sword Divine Technique." You have a resolute personality, a smart person, and a good material for learning swords, so I can't say that it depends on you for the development of the heart sword magic trick of the teacher in the future. ”

Duan Yucheng was affirmed by Dugu Feng, he was very moved, and hurriedly said: "Master Xie's teachings, I will definitely live up to my master's high expectations." ”
