The shadow of the sword is horizontally oblique, the water is shallow, and the dark fragrance floats in the dusk of the moon.

Ye Xiao nodded, this battle benefited a lot.

Li Qing's boxing and knife skills are indeed exquisite, and Ye Xiao secretly admires the kind of grandmaster temperament that is mixed and refined.

But this is a gladiatorial arena after all, and Ye Xiao, who crawled over in the sea of corpses and blood, was extremely convinced that he would win the final game.

It's like he believes in the sword in his hand.

This sword is called Pure Yang!

Taken from Lu Zu, Lu Dongbin.

When it comes to Lu Dongbin, women and children in the land of China know it. In Wudang Mountain, Mount Tai, Qingcheng Mountain and other scenic spots, there are statues of Lu Dongbin enshrined. The statue is lifelike, and the sword on its back is particularly eye-catching. People call Lu Dongbin the Pure Yang Patriarch, call the sword he carries the Pure Yang Sword, and the swordsmanship he practices is the Pure Yang Sword Technique. That's exactly what happened. Lu Dongbin relied on the Pure Yang Sword all his life, relying on the Pure Yang Sword to perform chivalrous righteousness, so he deduced many popular myths and stories. Lu Dongbin is not a fictional mythological character, but a chivalrous Taoist with a well-documented history.

Turning over the history of China, especially the history of Taoism in China, it is not difficult for people to find that Lu Dongbin is a flesh-and-blood, vivid and important figure in the inheritance of Taoism. According to historical records, on July 28 of the first year of Song Xuanhe, Song Huizong issued an edict to grant Lu Dongbin as "Miaotong Zhenren". Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, issued an edict in the first month of the sixth year of the Yuan Dynasty to give Lu Dongbin as "pure yang performance and police."

Zhenjun".

In February of the third year of the reign of Yuan Wuzong, he issued an edict to give Lu Dongbin as "the emperor of pure yang performance and police". At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the "Lu Gong Ancestral Hall" dedicated to him appeared for the first time in Lu Dongbin's hometown, and later expanded to "Pure Yang Temple"; Beijing's "Baiyun Temple", "Lu Zu Pavilion"; Xi'an's 'Eight Immortals'; "Yongle Palace" in Shanxi; Henan's "Tianbao Palace", "Luzu Temple"; "Lu Zutang" in Hongqiao District, Tianjin; The "Lu Weng Temple" in Handan, Hebei! Wait a minute. Japanese Taoist scholars called Lu Dongbin "the ancestor of popular Taoism". All this shows that Lu Dongbin is a far-reaching and well-known Taoist patriarch.

And not the gods of folklore.

According to the "Dictionary of Chinese Celebrities of the Past Dynasties": "Lu Dongbin, Tang Jingzhaoren, name!, a rock, the word Dongbin." I like to wear a Huayang scarf, wear a yellow and white shirt, tie a big morning tapestry, and look like a Zhang Zifang. Xiantong Zhongji. Two county orders. The value of the yellow nest is chaotic and shifts

The family ends up in the south, and it is unpredictable. There is a poem by Lu Dongbin in Tang poems. alias Chunyangzi, also known as Huidaoren. It is one of the eight immortals, also known as Lu Zu. The history of the Song Dynasty also called Lu Dongbin a native of Guanxi, with swordsmanship, more than 100 years old and childish. Walking lightly, hundreds of miles in an instant, the world thinks it is a fairy.

In the book "Famous Ways of Chinese Dynasties", it is verified that Lu Dongbin "was born in the fourteenth year of the reign of Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty, and his birthplace is "Yongle County, Hezhong Prefecture", "his real name is Lu Shaoxian, and the word Shaoxian reflects his willingness to inherit the career of his ancestors". $ This is consistent with the references in books such as "Hundred Questions on Taoism" and "Taoism". In the book "Aspects of Taoist Culture" compiled by the Taoist Research Office of the Institute of World Religions of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, it is said that Lu Dongbin "is indeed the descendant of Lu Wei, a famous eunuch of the Tang Dynasty in the Wang clan in Hedong." % Some historical sources say that he has "phoenix eyes facing the sky, eyebrows into the sideburns, neck and cheeks, broad forehead and round body, straight nose, yellow and white complexion, and a black mole at the corner of his left eyebrow," "eight feet two inches long, light yellow smiling face, slight numbness, three mustaches, like to wear a Huayang scarf, and his appearance is very similar to Zhang Zhifang" This is consistent with the "Great Dictionary" that Lu "likes to wear a Huayang scarf, and the shape is similar to Zhang Zhifang". It is conceivable that Lu Dong Binsheng is tall, dignified, and extraordinary.

Lu always carries a sword and travels all over the world. Sometimes the sword is used as a pen to write poems. There is no record of Lü's personality in the history books, but from Lü's poems, we can get a glimpse of his resolute personality and hard-working spirit. He is in the "Poem of the Sword".

It is narrated like this: "If you want to be sharp, dare to work hard, open the box in the early morning. The spirit in his hand is three feet of ice, and there is a spiritual snake on the stone. "Lu cultivates superb swordsmanship and dares to endure the hard work of cultivation. As an unrestrained and unconcerned monk, he can get up in the early morning and practice swordsmanship in the cold wind and ice

The character of being strong and resolute and not afraid of hard work jumps on the paper, which is admirable.

The sword qi in Ye Xiao's hand was like frost, and he chanted softly.

"If you want to be sharp, dare to work hard, open the box in the early morning, and the jade dragon howls. The spirit in his hand is three feet of ice, and there is a spiritual snake on the stone. ”

The ordinary long sword in his hand spit out a three-foot green edge.

People have pursuits. Lu Dongbin's pursuit can be summed up by the word "chivalry". The purpose of his hard practice of swordsmanship, as he wrote in the second paragraph of the poem, was to make "the blood of treachery silently drain away, and the evil ointment will disappear now." Eliminate the injustices of the floating world, with

Er Xiang will go to the sky". Eliminate evil, kill the stubborn, and eliminate the injustices of the floating world, you can achieve the goal of "going to the nine heavens" to become a god and flying immortal. A chivalrous spirit swept between the lines.

"The thick eyebrows are like thunder, and when he hears that he is uneven, he will let go. When the sword is a guest for thousands of miles, don't go back to me. Pang Meidou erected the evil spirit, and took off thousands of miles into the air. The three-foot sword in the box on his back is for the sky and shows injustice."

Ye Xiao kept poems in his mouth, and the sword qi in his hand continued.

Li Qing narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "What a three-foot sword with a box on his back, it is a sign of injustice for the sky." ”

"This sword, Li Qing took it."

Tai Chi knife: chopping knife, chopping knife, sweeping knife, piercing knife, spatula!

The slasher is one of the main attack techniques. A horizontal slash with the blade facing left (right) or left (right) is a slash with a height between the head and shoulders. The force is applied to the waist and arms, the force reaches the blade, and the arms are straight. "Chop" is synonymous with "chop", but chop is a short hit. Blocking with a slash is different from a big slash. Therefore, the amplitude is small in motion. The force is compact, and the force reaches the front end of the blade.

Chopping the knife pointing forward and slashing downward. Chop, the blade of the knife suddenly downward, the force of the sharp fall for chopping, the blade of the chop. The chopping knife uses the blade from top to bottom to fold the object and cut it into two sections, like a sudden fall of the gate, chopping the enemy's head, shoulders, arms, and legs from top to bottom with inertial force, and pressing the back of the knife with the left palm to press it down. Chopping knives are chopped on the blade or head. Footwork can be done with either a bow or a lunge.

The sweeping knife is one of the main attack knife techniques. The blade is slashed to the left (right) or left (right) for a sweep. Armstrong blades. The sweeping knife has both the lower plate sweeping. There is also an upper sweep. The lower sweep is to cut the knee horizontally, and the upper disk sweep is to cut off the head and wipe the neck, such as the "sweeping thousands of troops" style. Rotary sweeps require rotation for one week or more.

There are two types of sweeping knives: positive and negative. The forehand from right to left is a forward sweep; The backhand from left to right is a countersweep. Generally, it is mostly combined with a rotating sweeping knife.

The stabbing knife is one of the main attack knife techniques. "The knife is pierced by the gun", which is mainly the tip of the knife stabbing forward. The force is applied to the waist and arms, the tip of the knife and the front foot are combined, and the arm and the knife are in a straight line. The body, arms, and knife are integrated. Piercing is synonymous with thorns. However, in the idiomatic expression, the knife and gun are "piercing", the sword is called "stabbing", and the stick is called "poking". There are three different height stabbing methods: upper, middle and lower. The tip of the upper piercing knife is high and the head is level. The flat knife is high and chest level. The lower piercing knife is knee-level. There is also a backward and downward pricking to the top of the foot. In addition, there are circle ties, positive ties, and reverse ties. Ring is done with the blade facing outwards and the back of the knife facing inward. The blade of the knife is placed flat, and the tip of the knife is pierced and poked; The positive piercing is with the back of the knife facing up. The blade is facing downwards and the straight arm is thrust forward; The reverse piercing is done with the back of the knife facing down and the blade facing up. Bend your arm and push forward. Take the lunge to match.

It is also just the simplest basic move, but it was used by Li Qing with extraordinary power, which is Li Qing's horror.

It can turn decay into magic!

However, it is still no match for Ye Xiao's sword!

Ye Xiao used all his essence and energy to slash out this sword pure yang, even if it was a law, it still couldn't be suppressed.

This is the spirit, sword heart, and spirit that Ye Xiao has practiced the sword for twenty years, even if it is suppressed by the law, it cannot stop the style of Ye Xiao's sword.

This can be called the move of the Earth Immortal One Sword, and according to the Qingyang Sword Saint, it is already close

Dao.

Ye Xiao said with a smile: "My generation has practiced swords, and most of them yearn for that Lu Zu, one sword is a sword, and one sword is a sword for a lifetime." ”

So this sword, gambling on my Ye Xiao's twenty years of sword intent and sword qi.

Respect for that Lu Zu, respect for the freehand style of my generation of swordsmen.

Pure Yang!

"There is a difference between a sword and a sword. Dao sword, in and out of the invisible, killing traitors to remove the method of dispersion; The magic sword, the world can see it, and the people are governed by skills" Our understanding is that the so-called "Taoist sword" of the Lu family is to face the wicked, know it with reason, move it with emotion, and obey it with the law. We should educate and persuade the wicked with the spiritual and ideological reasoning of the "invisible" and persuade them to change their evil ways and stop doing evil. The so-called "magic sword" is to face the stubborn wicked people, resolutely kill them with flying swords and sharp blades, and eliminate all evils, so as to maintain the right path in the world and protect the interests of the people.

Lu Dongbin's "proficient swordsmanship to eliminate evil" sword has become Lu Dongbin's second life, walking, sitting and lying, inseparable.

There are statues of Lu carrying a sword in many Taoist temples in China, and the frontispiece of the book "Lu Zuzhi" is also painted with an embroidered image of Lu carrying a sword. He enriched and developed the "Heavenly Escape Sword Technique" in continuous practice. In the book "Taoism", it is said that he "changed his technique, for the first to break trouble, the second to cut off lust, and the third to break greed and hatred". From this obscure language, we can see that Lu Dongbin has supplemented, developed, and updated the Tiandun swordsmanship. The swordsmanship he practiced was no longer the "Datong Swordsmanship" when he entered the Dao, but the swordsmanship that he had updated and innovated on the basis of the "Tiandun Swordsmanship". Of course, Lu couldn't change the name of the "Heavenly Escape Sword Technique", and society didn't allow him to do that at that time. Therefore, there is a written record of Lu Dongbin's "changing swordsmanship" in the history books.

Like Lu Dongbin, a far-reaching, charitable and chivalrous "sword immortal", naturally has many followers and Taoist friends. Another Taoist patriarch, Chen Tuan, is one of them. According to "The History of the Song Dynasty: The Biography of Chen Tuo", Lu Zeng "counted the number of fasts". As a rising star of Taoism and a Taoist friend of the Lu family, Chen Jian will certainly not miss the opportunity to learn from Lu. As a result, Lu Dongbin's updated swordsmanship has been passed down from generation to generation among Taoists. In order to commemorate this master of swordsmanship, the Taoist disciples renamed the swordsmanship taught by Lu as "Pure Yang Swordsmanship". This is the origin of the development of the "Pure Yang Sword Technique" to this day.

And Ye Xiao's sword is the Dao sword.

The Pure Yang Sword comes.

One sword, five cuts.

Ye Xiaosheng.

[ps. There is also a saying in the rivers and lakes that the "Pure Yang Sword Technique" was developed on the basis of the "Heavenly Dun Sword Technique", and it is not made up. There are two reasons for this: First, in the Chinese martial arts, there is no "Heavenly Sword Technique". In the nationwide large-scale excavation and rescue of martial arts heritage, the "Tiandun Sword Technique" has not been excavated. Second, we can see the shadow of the "Heavenly Escape Sword Technique" from the name of the swordsmanship contained in the "Pure Yang Sword Spectrum". There is a common sense in the martial arts world. Whether it is boxing or equipment routines, its name is correspondingly consistent with the content of the routine. Such as "through the arm fist". Tong arm, the meaning of two arms connected. Its content is the action of communicating with the two arms, letting go of the long shot, and opening and closing. It fully shows the characteristics of "through arm"; "Qingping Swordsmanship": "Qingping" means floating away from duckweed, flickering east and west, unpredictable. It is in line with the characteristics of erratic swordsmanship, sound and unpredictable; "Bagua Sword Technique": The footwork routes in the routine are all in eight directions, highlighting the characteristics of resisting the enemy in all directions and attacking and defending strictly; The heaven of "Tian Dun" refers to the highest, wonderful, and unparalleled, and "Dun" means to escape, evade, and be invisible. Embodied in the routine, it is a clever dodge, hiding, and escaping action. And there are similar actions in the "Pure Yang Sword Technique", such as "Outer Door Sword", "Offering the Son in Ambush", "Whirlwind Sword", and "Deceitful Offering Copper Bridge" are all some quick dodging and hiding actions. It fully embodies the characteristics of "Tianyu". Amazingly, these movements have never appeared in any swordsmanship. Its movements are peculiar and rare, and they are by no means something that can be made up by future generations. Based on the above analysis, it can be determined that the blood relationship between the "Pure Yang Sword Technique" and the "Heavenly Dun Sword Technique" can be determined. 】
