Chapter 15: Practicing Swordsmanship
"Three-fold waves? Did I make a three-fold wave just now? Xiao Buli still stood on the ground in disbelief, looking at the sword in his hand and the beard scattered on the ground.
As an ordinary person who has never been exposed to swordsmanship, he has never heard of this trick, but it still sounds like a little bit of a river and lake. Holding a sword flower and carrying the sword behind his back, Xiao Buli hurriedly went over to compensate the old man.
Speaking of which, this is the first time he has competed with someone for a sword, although it almost caused a tragedy, but I have to say that it is really quite exciting, no wonder so many people like to carry knives and cut people.
After taking a sip of tea, the old man seemed to have eased up, holding his waist bone with one hand, shook his head and said, "Old man, these arms and legs are not as neat as they were back then," After speaking, he pointed to Xiao Buli, who was standing aside with a look of shame, "But you kid is not honest enough, look at your posture and have practiced for a few years, how can you say that you have never learned?" ”
Xiao Buli couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was also thinking in his heart, not only the old man was puzzled, he was more confused than the old man, maybe the old man just felt that what she said was not true, but he could always find a name for lying to put himself on, what about himself? But I really know my catties, from childhood to adulthood, not to mention martial arts, because of the relationship between playing games every day, even the physical fitness is worse than others.
"Yes," Xiao Buxing secretly wondered, "Why does it seem like you've really practiced before?" "I didn't refute the old man's words, could it be that I was a natural martial arts wizard? Thinking back to the move and style just now, he felt that he instantly became mysterious, could it be that swordsmanship, not games, is my strongest talent?
Bang Shao looked at the old and young people's unfocused conversation and hurriedly stepped forward to relieve Xiao Buli: "Old man, I have known Brother Xiao for so many years, I dare to guarantee that he has no martial arts skills, really, don't say any swordsmanship, I will help him in the fight at that time." Otherwise, she would have been hacked to death. ”
The old man rubbed his waist, he didn't really think that Xiao Buli was lying, from the initial panic to slowly playing some ways, he could see that this kid should not be lying, besides, there must be a reason for lying, telling such a lie with an old man who has never met before, is it just to embarrass himself in front of his grandson? When I heard my grandson's explanation to myself, I believed it in my heart.
"So you're self-taught?" The old man believed it in his heart, and his tone naturally eased. "I see that the sword moves you used just now are simple and direct, there is nothing clever at all, but they are also extremely concise, if they are used in actual combat, they must be more practical than those fancy swordsmanship, but I didn't expect to be used by you, if you look at it this way, you are really a rare martial arts wizard." Give him a genius hat, and it's not ugly for him to lose.
"Huh?" Hearing this, Xiao Buli was stunned, I'm a genius? Is that really the case? It turns out that I am a genius in martial arts? I really went down the wrong path before. But think about it carefully, my genius realm is really tight, if the swordsmanship thing is placed in ancient times, it may still be useful, but in modern times, unless you can dodge guns like the Matrix, otherwise it is really useless.
Although he thought so, there was no change in expression on his face, the old man saw it, and couldn't help but secretly wonder, his grandson's friend is a person in the city, but it is not commensurate with his age, but with his experience for so many years, he is already aware of Xiao Buli's psychological changes, knowing that this junior does not value swordsmanship as much as himself, he opened his mouth and said: "Indeed, swordsmanship as a combat skill has little practical value, but it is still very good to use it to strengthen the body and cultivate oneself. Improving one's own strength is not only the ability to protect oneself, but also greatly improves one's self-confidence and courage, which is why I insist on letting you practice swordsmanship. ”
The second half of the sentence said that Bang Shao was less, and after listening to his grandfather's words, Bang Shao thought to himself, this is not good, and it is still very good to use land when he practices swordsmanship and fights with others. But he didn't dare to say this, and immediately had a solemn expression and a deep understanding, and nodded twice at Xiao Buli.
The old man was obviously very satisfied with this performance.
Xiao Buli nodded slightly after hearing this, what the old man said made a lot of sense, not to mention that Yiduo is not pressing, and there must be benefits to practicing more in the future, so his posture immediately lowered a little.
"Of course, if you want to go further, I can teach you the basics of getting started." When the old man said this, he was a little surprised by Bang Shao, his grandfather has always regarded himself as very high, coupled with his own prominent family affairs, few people can get into the eyes of the old man, and now listening to the old man's words, he wants to be closer to Xiao Bu's relationship. But Xiao Buli understands it, before this morning, there were only games in Xiao Buli's world, and it was too difficult for him to learn swordsmanship, and Xiao Buli knew this person, although he was very indifferent to everything on weekdays, in fact, there was a peculiar arrogance in his bones, and Bang Shao was really afraid that the two of them would pinch up for apprenticeship after a while.
Peeking at it, Xiao Buli really didn't react to his grandfather's words accordingly, and he was stunned there alone, not knowing what to think. The old man didn't urge, and took a sip from the teacup. Time seemed to freeze for a moment.
In fact, Xiao Buli is not as struggling as he seems on the surface, nor is it like Bang Shao thought that he was going to have a fish with his grandfather, but at this moment he was thinking about one thing in his mind, is his swordsmanship talent really a gift from God? Why does it always feel a little unreal? Although he had explained it with genius before, he himself was a little incredulous when he heard the old man say this.
"Brother Xiao." At some point, Bang Shao had already turned to Xiao Buli's side, and reached out to gently pull him back to reality. If you can't make it, you can give a word, saying that the old man's side, a cup of tea has been drunk, but if this cup is put down, it will be too long, and it is said that the old man should not be able to hang his sleeves on his face and leave. But the old man rarely found someone who could play two tricks with him, and he was reluctant to give up like this, so he held the empty teacup with one hand, drank the air with the fragrance of tea in it, and was stunned. Bang Shao looked at his grandfather's arm, he felt tired and panicked, and he couldn't break it, otherwise he would tell the old man to put his face somewhere. Only then did he move over, stabbed Xiao Buli, and whispered Brother Xiao.
"Oh" Xiao Buli came back to his senses from his fugue, this is a good thing anyway, isn't it, a little sorry Chong Bang smiled less. Xiao Buli hugged his fists very indifferently, "In this way, I will officially worship under the old gentleman today, and the master is on the ......."
The old man's arm was almost numb, and when he heard this, he hurriedly came over to help: "It's easy to say, there's no need to apprentice, if we can, we'll make a New Year's friend and have time to talk." ”
Next to Bang Shaopetrified, you two forgot to make friends in the New Year, and I have to call grandpa in the future, right?
Xiao Buli hurriedly thanked him, and said some kind words such as not daring to climb high, and finally the two of them felt that the ink was too much, so they opened their posture and compared in the martial arts training ground in the old man's small garden.
Save the professor's heart, the old man did not hide his selfishness, every trick and style are explained wonderfully in place, one of them passed seriously, one learned quickly, in the morning, the two of them were already in the field You come and go, swords and snakes, bitter Bang Shao, drinking tea and eating melon seeds next to him, yawning for days.
Besides, Xiao Bu left, and the old man walked a little over, a little amazed in his heart, swordsmanship is really not simple, compared to his previous instinctive offensive and defensive blocking, the old man's understanding of swordsmanship is undoubtedly a hundred times stronger than him, a simple move, there are light and dark, there is virtual and real, there is a way forward, there is a retreat. The so-called advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, a clever swordsman, every move hides the killing opportunity, but it is not blindly attacking. His instinctive reaction before now seems to be a little crude and clumsy.
And Xiao Buli's comprehension also surprised the old man very much, it seems that he was born for swordsmanship, and Xiao Buli can learn the swordsmanship skills he teaches almost immediately, and he can understand it at all. Even if it is a move with a little hidden mystery, you can become proficient after using it a few times, and you can interpret the changes to the fullest, and you are very good at integrating them. After a while, Xiao Buli's swordsmanship level was greatly improved, and he was even faintly no longer under the old man, of course, this was also because the old man's swordsmanship itself was not very clever, but the foundation was better, which also benefited Xiao Buli a lot.
Under the repeated urging of the housekeeper and Bang Shao, an old man and a young man reluctantly put down the sword, went into the house to eat, and said no, and the dining table was not idle. The two of them laughed and stopped talking. However, occasionally, when the chopsticks collide when picking up vegetables, they have to block one or two before stopping. For a while, he was full of emotions and blinded Bang Shao's eyes.
Lunch at noon, and practice for about an hour in the afternoon, because it is the weekend, the Gu family rules have to come back to have a family meal together, the children and grandchildren of the Gu family drove luxury cars one by one, flew back, and went into the garden one after another to meet the old man, the two of them had to put down the long sword, the old man went to the front hall to talk, and told Bang Shao to treat this child well, and let Xiao Buli stay for dinner.
Bang Shaoxin can say it, this has become your friend.
Look at the time is not early, wait for the old man to leave, Xiao Buli will say goodbye to Bang Shao to leave, dinner or something, Xiao Buli knows that it is embarrassing to go with such a family by himself. Bang Shao didn't know how, although he thought about it with his toenails, he also knew that Xiao Buli would definitely scold his grandfather when he disappeared at the dinner table at night, so he had to agree and let the housekeeper arrange the driver.
Bang Shao was still a little reluctant: "Alas, I'm really embarrassed, boss, my grandfather is very stubborn, and he is used to being the head of the family, so he will inevitably be a little strong, but it makes you tired to play with him for a day." Bang Shao didn't think that anyone would really like to learn any swordsmanship, especially Xiao Buli, thinking that the other party was just taking care of his face and accompanying the old man to be happy.
Xiao Buli heard the meaning of his words, but he didn't explain much, just smiled indifferently. Bang Shaomu saw him leave the Gu family's compound, and then went back, scratching his head and trying to explain to his grandfather that his newly found toy ran away.
