Chapter 182 Kongtong Festival
The next day in Kongtong Mountain, Lin Han got up early as usual, pulled the non-smoking girl to the school of the Kongtong faction, and saw that there were already many Kongtong disciples conducting morning classes.
When the Kongtong disciples saw Lin Han coming, they all looked at them curiously, and those who had seen Lin Han or heard the news immediately explained to the fellow disciples next to them.
Lin Han smiled and nodded to everyone, saying hello, and then ignored it, and ordered Feiyan to practice a set of swordsmanship to take a look.
Since receiving the 'Broken Water Sword' presented by Lin Han, Qu Feiyan has also been very attentive in his swordsmanship, and after Lin Han's guidance, it can be regarded as making rapid progress, although it is still a step worse than Zhi Qiuli, but it is already far better than Yilin, Yue Lingshan and others.
Although he didn't specifically learn the short sword swordsmanship, with Lin Han's current eyesight, it is still more than enough to guide Qu Feiyan, as the so-called ever-changing is inseparable, as long as he masters the principles of martial arts, whether it is a long sword or a short sword, he can get started at will.
looked at Feiyan's swordsmanship carefully, pointed out the deficiencies and mistakes from time to time, and after a little guidance, she corrected it and praised it again, which immediately won a burst of laughter from Feiyan.
After some pointing, he motioned her to practice by herself, Lin Han unsheathed the tear-stained sword, and the cold and shining blade reflected the rising sword, and between the shadows and shadows, it immediately attracted a sound of envy and inhalation.
A group of Kongtong disciples looked at the standard long sword in their hands, and a sense of inferiority spontaneously arose, and they all looked back frequently, looking at the long sword in Lin Han's hand.
Ignoring the gaze of the Kongtong disciple, Lin Han devoted himself to swordsmanship. Unlike in the past, this time, Lin Han actually took out the basic sword technique once again to cultivate.
Just practiced one move at a time, and there was no subtle sword move in the process, just simple stabbing, teasing, cutting, pointing, and so on, as if these simple sword moves contained extremely profound truths.
Those Kongtong disciples wanted to see Lin Han's swordsmanship cultivation before, but they found that he was just a few simple movements, practicing quickly or slowly, after one time, and again again.
All the Kongtong disciples looked bored, they all shook their heads, ignored them anymore, and began to concentrate on the content of their morning class.
It was Qu Feiyan next to him who looked at Lin Han a little strangely. She originally thought that Lin Han dragged her to the school to practice because she wanted to give Kongtong disciples a deterrent, but she didn't think that Lin Han would behave so strangely.
However, relying on his strong confidence in Lin Han, Qu Feiyan understood that Lin Han must have his reason for doing this, and he couldn't understand it, because he hadn't reached that level yet, as long as he followed Brother Lin, he would understand one day. Thinking of this, Qu Feiyan couldn't help laughing.
So, what is Lin Han doing?
This has to start with the "Tai Chi Quan Sutra", after getting the Quan Sutra, Lin Han began to study it carefully, and along the way, he had some understanding of the theory of yin and yang.
However, these help is not as great as he imagined, the reason is because Lin Han was not born in the Wudang faction, and he is not the foundation of the Wudang method, although he has also studied Taoist classics such as "Daozang", but it is still a little difficult to understand yin and yang, let alone extend from the way of yin and yang to the way of ice and fire.
"Tai Chi Sutra" says: "Tai Chi is born without limits, the opportunity of movement and stillness, and the mother of yin and yang." If it moves, it is divided, and if it is still, it is combined. If you don't do it, you can stretch it out with the song. People just I say softly to go, I follow the back of people to say sticky. If you are in a hurry, you will respond urgently, and if you are slow, you will be slow, although there are many changes, and it is consistent. ”
According to Lin Han's understanding, for Taijiquan, the moving is yang, and the static is yin; The real is yang, and the virtual is yin; The attacker is yang, and the defender is yin; The rigid one is yang, and the soft one is yin.
Therefore, the essence of Tai Chi is the interplay between yin and yang, movement and static, and virtual and real. And the mystery lies in the eternal state of opening and closing. And this state must abide by the balance, that is, the principle of "no fault is not enough, and it will be stretched with the song".
So, since we can't directly comprehend yin and yang, can we start from the state of movement and stillness, and comprehend the harmony of yin and yang from the balance of movement and static?
Lin Han's intuition: To comprehend yin and yang with movement and stillness, and then to fuse ice and fire, this is the most correct path.
Therefore, these days, even if he is in a hurry, he is not willing to leave behind his homework every morning. Even in the inn, he must find an open space to re-practice his basic swordsmanship.
Different from a long time ago, this time to practice the basic swordsmanship, Lin Han did not add combos, but carried out one move and one style completely according to the map, if there is any difference, it is probably the speed of the sword, and it is really close to the quiet and moving like a rabbit.
At the time when the Black Wood Cliff besieged Dongfang Undefeated, Lin Han experienced an extremely important epiphany, and it was from that time that he truly discovered the benefits of defense.
However, an epiphany is an epiphany after all, and that state is not something that can be entered if you want to. For a person who usually focuses only on offense to suddenly switch to defense, he must be very awkward and uncomfortable.
Thinking that the Tai Chi theory had a great relationship with the Northern Xuanwu, Lin Han only felt that he had touched some thresholds.
Xuanwu is extremely a combination of turtles and snakes, turtles defend with carapaces, snakes bite the enemy with sharp teeth, Lin Han's attack will not be worse than Xuanwu, even in terms of defense, he also thought of an excellent way.
We all know that the offense based on one point is the strongest, so by the same token, is it just a matter of defending a little? In this way, the longsword can be used as a defensive weapon.
After the attack, in the face of a counterattack, you only need to move the position of the long sword appropriately to resist the opponent's attack, then a long sword is no different from a shield.
In this extreme transition between attack and defense, the most important thing is balance, so that the attack is not more than one point and the defense is not less. In this way, it happens to coincide with the theory of movement and stillness in the Taijiquan Sutra.
What needs to be done is simply how to get that balance right. Lin Han's swordsmanship has always been based on practicality, mostly based on basic swordsmanship, plus combo and force skills.
Now, what he needs to do is to fully grasp the truth of basic swordsmanship. Among them, it is not only the attack principle that has been mastered before, but also the defense principle that needs to be mastered now, and then the offensive principle and the defense principle are perfectly combined to achieve the perfect balance of movement and static.
Immersed in the world of swordsmanship, Lin Han gradually forgot the time, and it was not until an hour later that he woke up from that kind of euphoria, and found that there were very few Kongtong disciples on the school ground. The remaining Kongtong disciples were gathered around Feiyan and Qiuli, pointing at Lin Han.
Bundled up the tear-stained sword, pinned it to his back, and said with a smile: "I don't know when you came over." ”
Shaking his head and handing a moist clean towel to Lin Han, Qiu Li smiled and said: "When I got up in the morning, I saw that you were not there, and after inquiring, I realized that you were working hard again, so I came over to take a look, just stood aside, and didn't dare to disturb you." ”
He handed her back the used towel, gently pinned the hair on her forehead, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
"......Huh," those Kongtong disciples laughed out loud in unison, "Senior Sister Li, when will you invite us to drink the wedding wine?" ”
"Go, go, go...... Nonsense. Qiuli said with a flushed face.
smiled at Qiu Li, and everyone turned their targets to Lin Han again, some asked when they would have a wedding wine, some called their brother-in-law directly, and some asked him for martial arts.
Lin Han was not in a hurry or impatient, and it took him more than half an hour to send these energetic little girls away.
At this moment, Yun Zhiming walked over from a distance and said with a smile: "These girls are very clingy, right?" ”
"It's okay, it's fun." Lin Han said with a smile.
Yun Zhiming nodded and said, "Master asked me to call you to breakfast, you must be a little hungry, right?" ”
Lin Han nodded, if it weren't for dealing with those female disciples, he would have just wanted to find Qiu to leave for breakfast.
After breakfast, I rested for an hour, and under the guidance of Yun Zhiming, accompanied by Qiuli and Feiyan, I came to the school field again.
At this time, the school was already full of people, including not only Kongtong disciples, but even the heads and elders of various branches of Kongtong, almost all of them had already arrived.
Seeing Lin Han coming, the head of the Divine Fist Sect immediately shouted: "Nephew Lin, I can look forward to you, today you have to teach this group of rabbit cubs a good lesson, so that they know that the sky is high and the earth is thick." ”
Lin Han was very helpless about this herd of cattle with a temperament comparable to Fei Bin, but fortunately, Yun Zhiming came over immediately to relieve the siege, otherwise he really didn't know what he would say.
Next, moving on to the topic, looking at those interested Kongtong disciples, Lin Han really couldn't arouse much interest.
The ten Kongtong disciples took turns to appear and fought with Lin Han one by one.
The martial arts of the Kongtong school are mainly soft, and the body, steps, and techniques are mostly formed by arcs and curves, which are somewhat similar to Tai Chi, and are mostly in the movement * defense.
There is stillness in the movement during the attack, and the stillness is extremely vivid, rigid and soft. It is mainly characterized by short, small, light and soft weapons, such as fans, thorns, Buddha, dust, sword rakes, five-element wheels, whip rods, etc.
Even the drunken eight immortals in the Divine Fist Gate, who are distinguished by their strength, also hit their eyes with skill, and the weak part of their necks are not allowed to rush and hit.
Among them, the most ferocious is the 'life-killing gate' of Xu Huaishan's faction, which is characterized by fierceness, deadly moves, frequent tricks, and no way to live. However, this kind of play, if it is strong in martial arts, of course, it is respected; If you just learn some fur, and you have to play this way, it will be very disgusting.
However, with the gap between Lin Han and them, even if they want to work hard, they don't have a chance.
Thirty moves, all of them are thirty moves, no one is an exception, everyone is defeated at thirty moves. At this time, if there is still someone who doesn't understand the gap with Lin Han, then he is really an idiot.
Those Kongtong disciples who had some thoughts about Qiu Li, and even hated Lin Han, were disheartened for a while, and they could no longer afford to stir up the idea of stirring up right and wrong.
Although it is very cool to abuse people, if the gap is too big, it will lose interest. Looking at everyone's eyes of envy or fear, Lin Han was very satisfied. After all, Songshan is going to form an alliance with Kongtong, and if the relationship is stiffened, it will be disadvantageous to both sides.
Seeing that Lin Han had cleaned up all the ten Kongtong disciples, the herd was also itching in his heart, and finally pestered Lin Han for a game.
This time, Lin Han did not defeat him, but accompanied him to the fullest, defended wholeheartedly, made the herd aggrieved, and after a hundred moves, he took the initiative not to fight.
The herd set a precedent, and there are countless blind followers behind it. There are so many people who accompany him to practice, and Lin Han does not refuse to come, and they all grind them down one by one with a defensive momentum.
In the end, except for Xu Huaishan's self-respecting identity, all the elders had partnered with Lin Han, and at the same time, he was tired enough.
The two sides were satisfied, this competition was over, supported by Qiu Li and Feiyan, and in the midst of laughter, Lin Han could be regarded as surviving this catastrophe.
