Chapter 2 Ghost Valley Kendo
The side hall of the ghost valley, the ancestral hall of the patriarch.
Rows of wooden tablets are neatly placed on sandalwood offering tables, and three pillars of fine incense are inserted in each of the three three-legged incense burners, and smoke curls up.
Kneeling below, looking at the names on the tablet, Wei Zhuang couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart. Wang Xu, the patriarch of Guigu, Pang Juan, the famous general of Xingwei, and Sun Bin, a master of the art of war; Su Qin, the prime minister of the Six Kingdoms, and Zhang Yi, the famous minister of Qin. Maybe one day later, after I die, I can enjoy the incense sacrifice side by side like them, which is exciting to think about.
watched the master make a series of respectful worship actions, burned incense, prayed, and then read the rules and regulations of the Guigu sect to himself, and finally took out the name of the sect and added his name. I saw that at the end of the old bamboo slip, the two small characters of 'Weizhuang' were engraved in seal script. Wei Zhuang also saw that the word 'Gai Nie' was engraved in front of his name.
"For 700 years, behind the rise and fall of every country and every dynasty, there has been a common name - Guigu. Mr. Guigu has only accepted two disciples in his life, and for a hundred years, one is vertical, one is horizontal, and the winner between the two is a new generation of Guiguzi. Although the strength of Guiguzi in the past dynasties is one person, it is stronger than a million divisions, and the princes are afraid when they are angry, and they live in peace. Three years later, there is only one of you who can step out of the Guigu Valley as a descendant of the Guigu Valley, and change the fate of the world on behalf of the Guigu faction. ”
Master Guiguzi looked at Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie, who were kneeling on the futon with respectful faces, and said with a serious expression.
"Master, please rest assured, Senior Brother and I will definitely live up to your expectations and let the reputation of the Guigu Sect spread all over the world and be praised by thousands of people."
Wei Zhuang said firmly, his eyes full of confidence.
Gai Nie didn't speak, but nodded with the same solemn expression, with a clear attitude.
……
Returning to the resting courtyard from the ancestral hall, Wei Zhuang sat down at the stone table under the locust tree in the courtyard, and reached out and took out two thick volumes of beautifully crafted silk books from the sleeves of his sackcloth.
The closed silk book is spread out about a meter long and twenty centimeters wide. Unfold the first volume of the silk book, and at the beginning of the place is written the four small characters of "Basic Sword Technique".
"Basic Sword Technique"? Is there any mistake, shouldn't it be "Swordsmanship"? "Basic Sword Technique" This kind of rotten street goods almost everyone has practiced, Wei Zhuang practiced sword at the age of five, and when he was seven years old, he couldn't look down on this ordinary sword trick, how could the Guigu faction collect this kind of thing and use it as a inheritance. Wei Zhuang felt that this "Basic Sword Technique" could not be as ordinary as it seemed.
Wei Zhuang didn't believe it and carefully read it from beginning to end, full of words and pictures describing the ordinary "Basic Sword Technique", but it was a detailed explanation of the force, position, posture and luck of breathing and breathing, and the back was a villain holding a long sword to do this basic sword posture.
The first volume is "Basic Sword Technique", but what about the second volume? Anxiously opening the second volume, Wei Zhuang took a look at it, and finally exhaled softly.
"Horizontal Sword Technique", sure enough, the Guigu faction has been inherited for nearly a thousand years, and it always has some secret techniques at the bottom of the box, and what I am going to learn is this secret technique. However, at the beginning of the second volume, there was a paragraph written that made Wei Zhuang want to vomit blood: "Basic Sword Technique" 100,000 times before you can start practicing this swordsmanship, remember, remember.
100,000 times? When will you get in touch with the alluring "Horizontal Swordsmanship", just thinking about it makes people's scalps tingle.
Wei Zhuang had a heartbeat and didn't practice, but when he thought that his senior brother Gai Nie must have done it, how could he be inferior to him. A small failure is painful, but you can't lose at the starting line.
So Wei Zhuang made up his mind and began to practice from scratch, picking up the "Basic Sword Technique" and reading it.
"Basic Sword Technique" first introduces the sword. Martial arts is the most oriental and the most subtle art, the bloodiest and the most elegant. The sword is the best representative of martial arts.
The sword is classical, artistic, known as the head of a hundred soldiers, more benevolent and righteous, and has the style of a gentleman. The composition of the sword includes: the hilt (the head, the handle, the grid), the body (jaw, spine, blade, blade), and the scabbard. A good sword can be said to be the second life of a swordsman.
Then introduce the basic action techniques of the sword, with stabs, hooks, hanging, points, picks, stabs, teasing, splitting, exercises, requiring the sword to walk, with the sword, the application to achieve the sword and the body, the body and the qi and, the qi and the body.
Wei Zhuang looked at the knowledge that almost every swordsman could say, but there were few people who really did this. The more basic things are, the more they have to ask questions, which are summarized by the common practice of countless generations of ancestors like a big wave of sand, and they are tempered by thousands of times.
Swordsmanship pays attention to fast, accurate, and ruthless, and the hook, hanging, pointing, picking, splitting, and stabbing in the basic swordsmanship are even more so, requiring a fatal blow and a blow to make the enemy lose combat effectiveness.
Swordsmanship also pays attention to the hands, eyes, body, law, and steps, and is like a shadow.
When swordsmanship is practiced to enter the country, the sword head, sword handle, sword grid, sword jaw, sword spine, sword blade, sword blade, and scabbard are all sharp weapons, all of which are killing tools.
While Wei Zhuang looked at these words and line drawings, he used his fingers instead of the sword to draw on the stone table, practicing one move at a time, like a beginner, practicing in a loop, like crazy, close to going crazy.
Wei Zhuang is not lacking in perseverance and perseverance, as a proton of the country imprisoned in the cold palace of South Korea, what kind of bullying and humiliation have not tasted, he has learned to forbear since he was a child, and he is not afraid of hardship, plus the super soul power brought by the two lives, the memory is amazing, he learns things quickly, and it is difficult to forget after learning.
Unconsciously, time passed like uncontrollable sand, dusk was late, and the sunset reflected his face red.
The "Basic Sword Technique" is not thick, nor is it very difficult to understand, plus Wei Zhuang has learned it in general before, and when he revisits it, he spends most of his time on the annotated breathing and breathing technique.
"Guigu Tuna Technique" - this is a supporting cultivation method of the basic sword technique, with its existence, the original ordinary sword technique will be transformed into magic, into an incredible and excellent work.
"Apply what you have learned, be clumsy, only fast and not broken, and return to the basics." This is a sentence written at the end of "Basic Sword Technique" that is full of deep meaning.
Wei Zhuang read this sentence again, and then glanced at the sunset in the distant sky that was about to disappear, got up and walked to the wooden bed in the house, still chewing on the meaning conveyed by these short sixteen words in his heart.
Applying what we have learned, linking theory with practice, what sword to use under what circumstances, how to use it, looking at the time, stressing the geographical advantage, and seeking harmony are the so-called specific analysis of specific situations.
It's like a clumsy coincidence.,It's said that swordsmanship can't just pursue gorgeousness.,The better the swordsmanship, the more ordinary.,Back to basics.,As long as the swordsmanship that can kill the enemy is a good swordsmanship.。
The world's martial arts, only fast is not broken. Wei Zhuang knew in his previous life that speed is power, and when speed reaches the extreme, it can break everything, even beyond the flow of time, but unfortunately this is only a relative concept, who can say that his speed is the fastest?
As for the final return to the basics, Wei Zhuang is a little uncertain, whether it is the simplification of swordsmanship, or the sword moves with the heart, the sword is born from the heart, and there are no tricks to win?
Thinking about it, Wei Zhuang, who was lying on the wooden bed, fell asleep in a chaotic thought. Perhaps, it is still too far away to think about these things now, or just grasp the present
The purple qi comes from the east, the golden crow rises, and the purple qi is full, which is the best time of the day to breathe and breathe. The "Ghost Valley Breathing Technique" is extremely magical, especially the pure yang purple qi, which can absorb the purple qi generated between heaven and earth and feed back to cultivators, warming and strengthening the muscles and veins.
Wei Zhuang, who has just entered the Guigu faction, the first thing he must practice is "Guigu Tuna Technique", which transforms his strength and condenses his quality. Sitting on the ground, his body relaxed, his hands naturally on his knees, his mouth and nose, his nose and his heart, and wisps of purple qi followed his breath and were absorbed by breathing. The Tao method is natural, and according to the specific posture summarized by the Guigu Patriarch, you can quickly exhale the purple qi from the east for your own use.
On the top of Yunmeng Mountain, there is a flat land, which is the place where the disciples of Guigu practice swordsmanship, which is called the Sword Training Platform.
Sword after sword stab, after the vomit Wei Zhuang continued to practice one move and one style, just such a simple and boring practice, out of the sword, put away the sword, tirelessly repeated, over and over again
"Xiao Zhuang! I'll call you that way from now on, I'm Ganie. Gai Nie, who passed by with a sword, said lightly.
"Senior brother, I will never forget that sword." Wei Zhuang, who was wielding sword moves, responded, his rhythm did not stop for a moment, and continued to practice his sword moves.
Gai Nie didn't respond, silently walked not far away and began to practice swordsmanship, one person and one sword, the sword moved with him, he danced with the sword, and practiced alone, as if he was the only one in heaven and earth.
didn't get a response, Wei Zhuang didn't feel ashamed, and continued to slash and stab with a sword, he recognized that practice makes perfect, no matter how simple the sword moves were practiced hundreds of times and thousands of times, there would be no obvious effect, and hundreds of thousands or even millions of times would definitely turn decay into magic.
What Wei Zhuang pursues is this kind of magical effect, because no matter how superb the swordsmanship, it is also based on the basic swordsmanship, the stronger the foundation, the stronger the foundation, the higher and more solid the house can be built.
Ten years of sharpening a sword, the frost blade has not been tried. Show the king today, who has injustice. The practice of swordsmanship is not an overnight thing, but a long-lasting durability of water drops. He believes that his efforts will not be in vain, and the sweat he has paid will one day be rewarded.
On the top of Yunmeng Mountain, the first sun shines on the forest, and the shadow of the sword appears.
Purple gas comes from the east, vertical and horizontal, and the hidden dragon lies in the abyss.
