Volume 2 The Turmoil in the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 21 Schoolwork, Sheath and Spike
"Master, I just killed a demon thorn with the sword finger you taught!"
Tu Shi came back, saw Haiqing Zhenren retreating, and went to Yi Wuya to show off his achievements.
Yi Wuya asked about the situation and nodded with satisfaction: "You used your sword finger a little earlier than I expected." Indeed, after infusing true qi, human flesh and blood can also be as hard as steel, and can indeed be used as weapons and shields. β
"The human body is infinitely mysterious, so the martial arts created to exercise the human body are also broad and profound, and there is no place in the human body that cannot be attacked. Thousands of years of inheritance, finger kung fu has been carried forward, so far can be divided into two kinds, one to control the enemy, the other to kill the enemy. The enemy is the point point, not to mention it, the killer has eagle claws, two-finger Zen, and so on. How to control the enemy, and how to kill the enemy? In the final analysis, it depends on whether to fight or not to hit the enemy's dead end. For example, the five senses of a person are all places where true qi is difficult to transport, that is, places where kung fu cannot be practiced. I'm lucky enough to hit you in the eye, and you're blind if you don't die. Speaking of which, Master Zuo gestured to Tu Shi's face.
Don't do a demonstration in my face! Aren't you afraid of leaving a psychological shadow on me?
Ignoring Tu Shi, who had a stinky face, Yi Wuya said again: "I have investigated all martial arts in Baijiamen, removing the false and retaining the truth, and returning to the source, in fact, it is nothing more than three words: fast, accurate, and ruthless, compared to these three words, the routines are secondary." If you are faster than others, you will be able to strike first; If you are more accurate than others, you will be able to hit others; You are more ruthless than others, and you can beat people to death with one move. The combination of the three is invincible in the world. β
Summing up, it sums up this clichΓ©!
"You are sincere in swords, you can only walk the way of the sword in your life, and you can't learn other martial arts, so I don't teach you fist and foot kung fu, only teach you sword fingering. I only teach you internal strength, from the inside out, the lethality is not inferior to the outer kung fu, this is 'ruthless'; and then let you use the 'nine mouths and eight methods' as the routine, the accuracy is improved, this is 'accurate'. However, after all, the sword finger is separated from the real sword, and the fists and feet are not as fast as the sword, so the sword finger can only be an emergency strategy in hand-to-hand combat, and you should defeat the enemy before you have to fight the enemy hand-to-hand. β
"Understood." Tu Shi nodded. Instead of using your sword finger to hit thousands of damage points, you should never use your sword finger, because once you have to use your sword finger, it means that the situation is extremely dangerous. "So master, is there any other way to defend yourself besides the sword finger?"
"Yes, scabbard."
Unlike the sparkling swords in regular online games, which are fully effectual, in "Qiankun", the first thing people see is the scabbard, and they have to draw the sword to see the quality of the sword. The scabbard and sword are not one and the same, they count as a separate piece of equipment and are placed in the additional equipment slot (by the way, a character normally only has three additional equipment slots). The scabbard is generally sold with the sword, mostly leather, wood, metal and other materials, of course, if the original scabbard is damaged, you can buy a new scabbard, which does not affect the use of the sword. With the sword in its scabbard, it doesn't have to be equipped in your hand at all times, and it only takes a second to draw it when you are in combat mode, which is much faster than when it is pulled out of the storage bag.
What is the difference between having a scabbard and not having one? Quite simply, the scabbard is mainly used to protect the blade, and the durability of the sword without the scabbard decreases at a rate of one point per hour (this only occurs on light weapons such as daggers and swords, but not with heavy blunt weapons such as hammers and axes), and the decrease in durability will have a chain reaction, resulting in a decrease in attack power. In addition, there are some well-made scabbards that have additional effects, such as +5 charm when worn.
Tu Shi took off the iron sword hanging from his waist and looked at the scabbard. This scabbard is very ordinary, and it has no attributes to speak ofβhuh?
Scabbard: The most common scabbard that matches the iron sword, regardless of the style or price, it is suitable for idle rangers. Additional equipment, comes with 1 independent storage space (can only store sword weapons), physical attack 1-3. Weight 2, durability 97%, professional martial artist required, level 10 required.
Isn't the scabbard used to protect the sword? There is still attack power? Tu Shi asked Master Zuo, but Master Zuo raised Erlang's legs high, pillowed the back of his head with his hands, and said with a smile: "Think about it yourself." Niu Bi always examines you, and I can't suffer either! β
Others take more exams and you take fewer exams, is this also called a loss?! And I forget about the exam in school, and the exam in the game is a few meanings, game designers, do you want to move the test-oriented education into "Qiankun" and create an online game with Chinese characteristics?!
Tu Shi was helpless, and suddenly had an idea, and clicked on the "detailed attributes" option in the attributes.
Scabbard: [Material] Fir, [Other Material] Iron, [Length] 73cm, [Width] 9cm, [Height] 3cm, [Volume] 1971cmΒ³, [Weight] 1379.7g, [Density] 0.7g/ cmΒ³, [Condition] Slightly Damaged, [Maker] Unknown, [Remarks] Common.
The material is fir and iron...... Tu Shi looked at it again, the scabbard was painted with a layer of black lacquer, and the sheath and the sheath tail had a layer of iron skin, and the sheath tail was an oval tip, which looked like a blunt sword blade. He knew a little bit - this part can be used to poke people!
"What is this?"
Yi Wuya replied: "This is called the 'Sword Mark', which prevents the sheath tail from wearing, and of course, it can be used for attacks as you guessed." β
Tu Shi tried to play a few times, holding the scabbard in his left hand and drawing the sword in his right hand, then his left hand was like holding a wooden stick, although his defensive ability was not as good as a shield, but he could hold a small weapon, and of course he could also use it as a wooden sword to attack. It is true that the attack power of the scabbard is congenitally insufficient, but as long as the true qi is infused, it can still hurt the enemy, and there is no reason why the scabbard can't do what the sword finger can do.
Yi Wuya couldn't help laughing: "You also have a little spirituality in the way of the sword, and everything else is miserable." It's a pity that your sword is too low-grade and doesn't have a sword spike, otherwise you can demonstrate how to fight with a sword spike as a teacher. β
Tu Shi immediately shouted: "No, the sword spike is also useful?" β
The sword spike does not have a sword mark unpopular, as soon as the sword spike is spoken, everyone knows that it is the red or yellow silk thread decoration decorated behind the sword handle, and the left and right swaying when dancing the sword is quite eye-catching, but the use is limited to eye-catching. Now Yi Wuya said that Jian Sui can also fight, and Tu Shi is a thousand and ten thousand don't believe it.
So Master Zuo began to popularize science: "When the ancients fought with horses, the main battle weapon was a long weapon suitable for fighting in battle formations, and the spare weapon was a short weapon suitable for hand-to-hand combat, and the sword was one of the short weapons. If you get rid of your weapons on the battlefield, it's impossible to get off your horse and pick them up, right? Therefore, people often use leather ropes to tie the hilt of the sword to the saddle or wrist, and call the leather rope 'sword frontier'. β
"Xinjiang", through the "reins", can be known to have the meaning of "reins", indicating that the sword should be regarded as a martyr's envoy? It's a bit of a fit for their own ID "Yu Qingfeng".
Later, the sword evolved from a practical weapon to a ceremonial weapon, and gradually withdrew from the stage of war. However, after all, the sword spike has its roots, and there is still actual combat significance, there is a swordsmanship in the army that is to replace the sword with the sword spike, and after spreading the rivers and lakes, it is called 'Changsui Sword'. The sword spike of the long spike sword is more than three feet long, the body moves with the step, the sword walks with the body, the spike dances with the sword, the swordsmanship is to wear the hand sword to hold the spike and throw the spike, the action is light and agile, chic and elegant, which is pleasing to the eye. β
Tu Shi looked sideways. Master, your words are inconsistent, the front said that the sword spike is still very practical, but the back does not mention the usefulness of the long spike sword? Anyway, I definitely don't want this kind of sword. "The Long Spike Sword is indeed very special, but this kind of special is not conducive to combat."
Yi Wuya showed a teasing smile of "you are so stupid": "You don't understand this." In actual combat, Changsui can disturb the opponent's line of sight, which is to disturb the enemy; It can also wrap around the opponent's weapon, which is to defeat the enemy; You can also wrap your hand around your hand, and use the sword as a throwing weapon to fly out, and hit six feet long with a short of three feet, which is to kill the enemy. Harassing the enemy, subduing the enemy, and killing the enemy, this has three changes, which is more than enough for a swordsmanship. β
"Huh? ......" Tu Shi is still skeptical. For some reason, just by imagining the dancing of the long spike sword, he thought it was an old lady playing in the park.
Yi Wuya patiently taught this disciple who was not enlightened: "I took the Changsui Sword as an example, didn't I force you to hit people with the sword spike - a good sword blade doesn't need to run to use the sword spike, isn't this putting the cart before the horse?!" I want to tell you that there are a lot of humble objects that can be used in combat in ways you can't imagine, such as the spike, the scabbard, and the hilt. When it comes to life and death, you must remember that you can use what you have at hand, and you can do it as you please, and if you stick to the rules, you will not be far from death. As long as the true qi is infused, a stone is enough to become a secret weapon to smash the head, and a branch is a divine weapon. The master can hurt people with leaves and flying flowers, because there is no sword in his hand, and he has a sword in his heart. β
"Can I understand that although I don't have a sword in my hand, I can use the scabbard as a sword?" Tu Shi said as he took the sheathed sword and poked the air a few times.
"......" Yi Wuya sighed in an old-fashioned manner: "Alas...... You're not wrong at all, but I always feel that something isn't right...... I'll say it in a way you can understand! Before the move, you have to have the intention in your heart before you can make a move, and this idea that makes you use the scabbard as a sword is actually the so-called 'sword intent'. With the sword intent, everything in the world is your envoy. β
In other words, the sword intent is the "Nine Mouths and Eight Methods", that is, swordsmanship! After going around for a long time, it turns out that sword intent is equal to swordsmanship!
"Of course, if you destroy the sword, it is actually a use of the sword, but do you have to destroy the sword? Is there another way to destroy the sword without destroying the sword, but also to destroy the demon thorn viscera in an instant? β
Master Zuo stretched out a finger and pointed it on the tabletop, with the finger as the center point, the desktop instantly cracked a long and narrow gap, as if it had been slashed by a knife. This seemingly careless hand made Tu Shi's eyes straighten.
This is not a sword finger, the sword finger can poke a hole in the table after infusing true qi, but it definitely can't do a single split! It's too much, too much, too unreasonable!!
Under the agitation of his heart, Tu Shi couldn't help but pour his true qi into the sword, only to hear a pop, the sheath tail exploded to shreds, sawdust flew, and the sword mark that originally stuck to the sheath tail hit the door and bounced to the ground, deliberately making a crisp sound, making Tu Shi even more embarrassed.
Yi Wuya raised his face: "Can't control your true anger? Give me a hundred times to go out and practice the sword, and I will see if you still have so much true qi to squander after you finish practicing. β
Tu Shi obediently accepted the order, and suddenly turned his head when he went out: "Master, I still have a question." β
"Say."
"You said that a master can hurt people with a flying flower, so why do you need a magic weapon?"
"Look, you don't understand again."
Master Zuo smiled: "With a divine weapon in my hand, I can kill immortals." β
