Volume 1 Never with a Sword Chapter 30 Laying the Foundation

The two masters sat down facing each other, and Tu Shi stood nervously.

Haiqing Zhenren took the lead in the eager anticipation of the apprentice: "You may have regarded me as a liar at the beginning, or you may not have understood my methods of three attempts, I can only say that I can't take the apprentice lightly." There are many martial artists in the world, but there is no one in ten thousand, not because the Tao is difficult to learn, but because people's hearts are not sincere. The Taoist priest is evil, and the harm caused by the martial artist is greater. ”

Tu Shi nodded in understanding. is also killing, the master roared over with an ice, and dozens of soldiers swept through thousands of troops.

"The trial of illusion is the best way to see the heart of a stranger. What do you think would be the situation if I didn't make a fool of myself and preach in front of the public, 'Worship me as a teacher and live forever'? At that time, my disciples will be full of unscrupulous people! So not only me, but also more than a dozen masters at the same time hid their traces and secretly selected successors, just to select good seedlings who are sincere to the Tao. ”

It turns out that the people who set up stalls outside Yibei City yesterday are not all liars, but also high-ranking people? Tu Shi thought to herself, if she had accosted another "liar" at that time, what would she do now?

Haiqing Zhenren saw Tu Shi in a trance, and said: "There is an encounter between you and me, and you have no fate with them, success or failure, gain or loss, are all creation." It's yours and should be cherished, if it's not yours, it's useless to think about it. ”

"Let's get down to business." Yi Wuya took the tea that I didn't know who continued: "We discussed it last night, and we both thought you were a malleable talent. ”

Needless to say!

"Just as we all agree that extraordinary goods have extraordinary pricing, and extraordinary disciples should also be taught in extraordinary ways."

Uh-huh, and then what?

"He and I are each responsible for teaching you three skills."

Three plus three equals six, what, or six skills like others? Where does this reflect the advantages of dual professions? Tu Shi was a little disappointed, but quickly relieved. "Qiankun" is a very balanced game, of course, it will not be too preferential to one player, otherwise it will not be unfair to other players? Of course, the bad treatment of him will naturally be balanced on the other side, otherwise it will be unfair to him. Although the number of skills has not increased, the amount of only three skills for a master is too precious, in order to cultivate his "malleable talent" as much as possible, the two mentors will definitely provide the skills at the bottom of the box! Six practical skills are certainly better than the six good and bad skills of others!

"These three skills are important and are the foundation of your life. Neither martial arts nor Taoism is a castle in the air, and the stronger the foundation, the higher your future achievements will be. ”

Tu Shi wanted to look up to the sky and roar, "Hurry up and get to the point".

Yi Wuya got up, took the broken sword from the waist of Tu Shi, who was caught off guard, and returned the sword body, leaving the scabbard: "Do you like to use a sword?" ”

"Yes."

"Attack me." Yi Wuya raised his sword scabbard.

Tu Shi blinked before he understood, raised his sword and said, "Then I'm welcome." ”

"Wait, you're rude. It is right to talk to the elders of the sect and hold fists, but the blade of the sword should be facing downward, and it is also important to pay attention to whether the left hand is outside or the right hand is outside. Although my hundred families are small, they are also famous, and the etiquette must not be negligent. Saying contradictory words, Yi Wuya stepped forward and patiently helped the apprentice adjust his gestures, at this time he did not smile, and did have the appearance of being a master: "Do it again." ”

"Well, then you're welcome!"

Tu Shi stabbed Yi Wuya's left chest with a sword, and the other party raised his hand and separated it with a scabbard. No matter how Tu Shi tried, Yi Wuya followed up, as if adults were teasing children. Even a beginner like Tu Shi can perceive that the gap between the levels of the two sides is too big. Every sword was expected by Yi Wuya, which made Tu Shi a little ashamed, but Yi Wuya smiled and shouted to stop Tu Shi: "Niu Bi has a good eye, you really have qualifications, and it is a martial arts qualification rather than a Taoist qualification!" ”

Haiqing Zhenren watched silently, not bothering to pay attention to him at all.

"But my attack was completely ineffective." Tu Shi was haunted.

"That's just because you met me. You must have gone through a lot of hard training before coming to Beicheng, the timing and direction of your attack are just right, and you can always detect the flaws exposed by the other party. The reason why you have not succeeded with a sword is because all the flaws you see are deliberately revealed by me, and every sword you have cannot jump out of my mind. ”

I see! Tu Shi was greatly touched: "It's so amazing! Sure enough, it's different from fighting people, and the beast won't deliberately show flaws. So how do you know if the flaw is real or fake? ”

"You have to observe the flow of energy, and see where the other party is using bright energy and where is dark energy. Martial arts have both virtual and real, tricks, and killer moves, and many times the tricks are followed by killer moves, because the enemy who shoots is the easiest to kill. However, this is just entering the house, the real extreme powerhouse has a lot of strength, there is no difference between tricks and killing moves, and there are almost no flaws in the perfection of his skills. ”

Tu Shi was fascinated and tried to imagine: "So two extreme powerhouses will fight against each other for a long time without winning or losing?" A reveals a flaw to induce B to attack, B attacks and then reveals a flaw to induce A to counterattack, and A counterattacks again...... It's a hassle. ”

"So it's very likely that both sides will stand motionless, and when one of them shows a flaw, the winner will be determined in an instant."

Damn, isn't this a bridge in the ancient dragon martial arts movie? The two of them stood on the top of the Forbidden City and pretended to blow the wind, and the one with relatively thin clothes must not be able to hold it and show its flaws first.

"So, you really have qualifications, at least other adventurers are not as good as you." Back to the topic in time, Yi Wuya said: "The sword has nine mouths and eight laws. The 'Eight Methods' are the eight basic methods of swordsmanship, namely stabbing, teasing, chopping, collapsing, splitting, hooking, lifting, and wiping. ”

Tu Shi listened to it in a daze: "Don't say it too fast, I can't remember!" ”

"I don't expect you to remember it right away, after all, the swordsmanship is endless, and in addition to the eight methods, there are more swordsmanship, such as hanging, cloud, belt, twisting, gridding, interception, pumping, piercing, sweeping, blocking, cutting, pressing, etc., and some people have summarized the thirteen potentials of swordsmanship by simplifying them into complexity, of course, these are too difficult for you now."

Then don't say it early!

"In fact, you have already comprehended the 'Eight Laws'. Do you sometimes feel that attacking different parts of the enemy with different postures will cause different damage? This shows that you have come to know the importance of swordsmanship in actual combat. ”

Tu Shi felt that the mentor was too good, and he actually broke his unique experience in one word!

After a pause, Yi Wuya pointed to the sword again and said, "As for the 'Nine Mouths', you have also touched accordingly. The damage dealt by each part of the same sword is different. You may only have a vague concept of this, but Chinese ancient and modern swordsmanship has long summarized the 'nine mouths': the sword is a blade and two edges, with two mouths, two slashes, two wipes, two mouths, and one stab, a total of nine mouths, which are the nine parts of the sword that can cause damage. Knowing it will make it easier for you to use your sword more forcefully and accurately. ”

"How does the 'Nine Mouths' use the various parts of the sword, and how does the 'Eight Methods' use the sword, combined, is it necessary to use the appropriate attack method, and the most suitable part of the sword for this method, to cause the most damage to the enemy?"

"That's right, but it's missing." Yi Wuya stretched out his hand and pointed at his temple: "When you encounter different enemies, you also have to judge which way to use, and which part of the sword to attack." The world's swordsmanship is ever-changing, and it always revolves around the four words of 'Nine Mouths and Eight Laws', if you know the 'Eight Laws', you will naturally understand the 'Nine Mouths', and vice versa. But no matter how high the swordsmanship is, it is only on paper, and when you use the wrong sword move against the enemy, you are looking for death. ”

Looking at the first skill in the skill list, Tu Shi thought thoughtfully: "In the final analysis, it is still the word 'flaw'. ”

Yi Wuya squinted and smiled.

[Sword Mastery] Gain a 10% bonus on sword weapons. There is a 10% bonus to the maximum stamina and recovery speed.

Tu Shi tried to swing the iron sword, and found that the attack speed had increased, and it seemed that the attack speed was also affected by [Sword Mastery]. This skill is really foundational and very important.

Yi Wuya sat down, drank tea to moisten his throat, and Haiqing Zhenren stood up and said at the beginning: "I am an overseas cultivator, and I am only a shallow learner, and I don't pay attention to morality, but only teach you how to open up the meridians and absorb the aura of heaven and earth." The morality mentioned here should refer to the Tao Te Ching.

"Open up the meridians?" Tu Shi looked at Master Zuo Yi Wuya, could it be that he was referring to the eight veins of the Qi Jing and the two veins of Ren Du? That's too much martial arts fiction! It's so enjoyable!

"Exactly. The martial artists in the human world have practiced hard for many years to open up the meridians of the whole body, but it is just the starting point of our cultivators - a set of Zhou Tian. I'll teach you a set of methods first, and you can go through the meridians according to that. Haiqing Zhenren stepped forward and pointed to many big holes on Tu Shi's body. His fingers were long and powerful, and each blow made Tu Shi's whole body tremble, as if he was about to fall, but he could still stand firmly. As the number of percussions increased, every acupuncture point of Tu Shi was painful, and it was like a pulse beating and jumping. "Don't be nervous, the sign of the acupuncture is that the blood is unimpeded and the blood qi has reached the place. Concentrate on thinking, and the air is like a gale, destroying the withering and decaying. ”

Fantasy that there is a strong wind, I don't want to be okay, as soon as I think about it, those acupuncture points are no longer just painful, but like needle punctures, it seems that blood will rush out immediately. Of course, Tu Shi had long been prepared to endure hardships, and in one go, his true qi traveled all over his body, and hundreds of sharp pains flared up together, and he couldn't bear it anymore, and fell backwards. Haiqing Zhenren was facing Tu Shi, and he didn't know what method to use, so he walked around behind Tu Shi in one step, gently supported his back with his left hand, and stuffed a pill into his mouth with his right hand. The pill dissolved in the mouth, and the pain in the whole body was naturally alleviated, to the point that Tu Shi could accept it. However, although the pain decreased, Tu Shi's eyes darkened, and he quickly reached out and groped for the stone bench to sit down, shouting, "I'm dizzy!" "I was in a cold sweat all over my body, and I was nauseous and vomiting when the wind blew, which was extremely uncomfortable.

"Your meridians are widened, and the places where blood and qi have to flow will increase, and the supply of blood and qi in your head will be insufficient, so you will naturally be dizzy and weak. After you turn the aura of heaven and earth into true qi, you will be able to use your true qi as blood qi and exert strength that you can't normally use. The meridians are hidden in the body, such as gold and silver hidden in the deep mountains, and they cannot be excavated, so this force is called 'internal force'. ”

[Qi Training] gains a 10% bonus on Dao Techniques. There is a 10% bonus to the maximum amount of true energy and the recovery speed.
