Chapter 396: The master must be lonely
Two days later, Li Ruohai's body finally fully recovered, and he left the inn and Daze Town with Zhou Wenluo, and then continued to travel in the northwest direction.
Zhou Wenluo didn't know Li Ruohai's purpose, but at this moment, he was someone's apprentice, so naturally wherever the master went, he would follow.
To be honest, the geographical environment and weather in the ancient Great Northwest are really not something ordinary people can stay in.
As they gradually deepened, Zhou Wenluo and Li Ruohai completely entered a desert area with barren yellow sand, Zhou Wenluo's face was a little painful due to the cold wind, and the sand and dust in the sky blew his eyes even more, and even as soon as he breathed, the ubiquitous sand and dust drilled into my mouth or nostrils.
Fortunately, Zhou Wenluo did not stay in the desert and suffer when he was taught hell training, otherwise Zhou Wenluo, who was born in the south of the federation and has been living in the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, really couldn't stand this harsh environment in the northwest.
Compared with Zhou Wenluo, Li Ruohai of the old rivers and lakes is much stronger, and he has already formed a transparent and invisible wall of qi with internal strength around him, and the cold wind and sand and dust in the sky cannot enter within a foot of him at all.
After Zhou Wenluo saw it, he naturally followed suit, Jiuyang's true qi formed a protective cover of eyelids to protect him tightly, half a foot thick, which shows how strong the true qi of Jiuyang Divine Skill is in this logistics divine skill, but it is a pity that it was used by Zhou Wenluo to shelter him from the wind and sand.
Such a harsh environment still didn't stop Li Ruohai, he took Zhou Wenluo deeper and deeper into the desert, and later, the howling cold wind became more and more cold, like countless blades twisting and cutting in the air, if you don't use true qi, every time you walk, even with Zhou Wenluo's physical strength, it is a little difficult.
The sand and dust in the sky are even thicker in the air. If you don't use the True Qi Mask to block it. I'm afraid I can't even open my eyes. But Rao is like this, and he can't see at all outside Sanzhang, so Zhou Wenluo can only use his divine sense to explore the way.
When he arrived at this ghost place, Li Ruohai finally stopped. With an indifferent face, he said bluntly without a trace of emotion: "I have already passed on the Liaoyuan Heart Method to you, and in the future, you will practice the basic marksmanship and the Liaoyuan Heart Method here!" One day you can do it without protecting your body's true qi, and you can still hold on here for an hour. If you don't let a piece of dust get on your body, then your marksmanship and fire-proof heart skills will be a little small. ”
No way? Don't let a single piece of dust get on you?
Zhou Wenluo looked at the yellow sand and dust flying in the sky with the wind outside the True Qi shield in front of him, and was a little dumbfounded, do you want to be so perverted? When he first started cultivating the Heaven and Earth Net, he was taught to destroy the dodging divine beast sparrow, which was not so exaggerated?
"You only have six months to be a teacher, don't let the master down."
Li Ruohai looked at Zhou Wenluo's mouth that had not been closed for a long time, suddenly sighed, and said lightly.
Zhou Wen was shocked when he heard this, and after raising his head and seeing the expectant gaze in the other party's eyes, his spine suddenly straightened, "Yes." Master, the apprentice will do his best! ”
A spear is a long-handled stabbing weapon. It evolved from the ancient weapon spear, so it was also called the spear in the ancient population.
Therefore, the first problem Zhou Wenluo faced after starting to practice basic marksmanship was to adapt to the length of the gun, which was much longer than the knife.
In some TV images, the generals and warriors who use long weapons look majestic, but in fact, if you really want to use them, long weapons are definitely much more difficult to use and difficult to learn than short weapons such as swords.
Especially guns, after all, everyone knows that the tip of the gun is a "point", and like other long weapons such as Daguan knives, maces, and long axes, they all have a large killing surface, and the emphasis is on a "face", which is much easier to use than a gun.
Therefore, this also causes the gun technique to be difficult to learn and difficult to master in the eighteen kinds of martial arts, and there are moon sticks, year knives, and guns for a lifetime.
There is no standard data on the length of the gun, but in general, it is about the height of the human body standing upright and the arm stretched up, and the thickness of the gun barrel varies according to the gender and age of the user.
In addition, there is a gun tassel, the length is not less than 20 cm, this thing is not handsome, but it can play a role in confusing and blocking the enemy's line of sight during combat.
In terms of basic marksmanship, there are generally actions such as piercing, stabbing, tart, slashing, winding, ringing, blocking, taking, pounced, pointing, dialing, dancing flowers, etc., which are very cumbersome and difficult to learn, even if Zhou Wen scratches his head even if he skims it.
Fortunately, Li Ruohai knew that Zhou Wenluo was a rookie, so he didn't ask too much, but just asked him to practice the three actions of blocking, taking, and piercing, which are the most basic movements of spearmanship, and the main practice is to pierce the word.
In fact, the spear is also a thorn in another sense, pay attention to be fair and fast, straight out, straight in, force to the tip of the gun, so that the gun pierces a line, the gun is like a hidden dragon out of the water, into (shrinking, receiving) the gun is like a tiger into the hole.
There are also the upper level, the middle level, and the lower level, with the middle level as the key method, so there is a saying that "the middle flat gun, the king of the gun, one of the most difficult to stop".
Compared with the sharp attack of the gun, the two actions of blocking and taking are the methods of blocking and defending, and the action should not be big in a circle, so as to prevent the opponent from taking advantage of the situation.
It can be said that practicing guns is actually really a difficult thing, but Zhou Wenluo's character also has a good advantage, that is, after recognizing one thing, even if it is difficult and hard, it must be done well.
And he also has a lot of advantages.
When practicing guns, the body method requires flexibility and changeability, a large range of activities, and the footwork should be light, fast and steady, so there is a saying that "open the step like the wind, steal the step like a nail", the waist and legs, the strength of the arm and wrist and the gun should be integrated, and the tip of the gun should be strong.
It is difficult for ordinary beginners to do this in this regard, but Zhou Wenluo has learned several body techniques are all in the world, the body is extremely flexible, and he has practiced knife techniques hard, there are always similarities, but it is also very helpful to practice.
In addition to the basic marksmanship, Zhou Wenluo is to practice the Liaoyuan Mind Method, as the internal strength of the Liaoyuan Marksmanship, the quality of the Liaoyuan Mind Method can be said to be by no means low, although it cannot be compared with the majestic masculinity of the Jiuyang Divine Skill, but it is not inferior in quality.
The reason why I say this is because the Liaoyuan heart method can be said to be a success and a failure, it is completely based on the Liaoyuan marksmanship, and the characteristics are the same as the marksmanship, domineering, cold, like a bamboo, there is no return, with the Liaoyuan marksmanship is naturally a match made in heaven. But if it is only the external strength of the internal power, it is naturally more extreme. It is not as broad as Jiuyang's divine skills.
But in general. Liaoyuan Mental Method, like Jiuyang Divine Skill, is a masculine and domineering internal skill, Zhou Wen has a little experience in Jiuyang Divine Skill, and it is naturally twice the result with half the effort when cultivating.
Practice basic marksmanship during the day. Cultivating the Liaoyuan Mind Method at night, Zhou Wenluo's cultivation schedule is like this, as for the real Liaoyuan Marksmanship, according to Li Ruohai, he is far from being qualified to cultivate. After all, I haven't learned the basic marksmanship well, and if I want to learn the world's top Liaoyuan marksmanship, isn't it, and if you want to use the Liaoyuan marksmanship flexibly, you must at least cultivate the Liaoyuan Mind Technique to the innate level, so what Zhou Wenluo can do now is to continue to practice boringly day by day.
And this cultivation is more than a month, and in this more than a month, Zhou Wenluo has been cultivating day and night, except for eating, the rest of the time is spent on cultivation. That's right, I didn't even sleep once. When you are sleepy, you will automatically settle down and practice the original heart method.
It is precisely under such hard work that it only took more than a month for Zhou Wenluo to cultivate the basic marksmanship and the Liaoyuan Mind Method to a certain extent, which is completely unable to be the same as the rookie appearance more than a month ago.
"Wen Luo, your diligence is beyond the imagination of the teacher."
Li Ruohai, who had also been practicing beside him for more than a month, saw all this in his eyes, and after seeing him cultivate Xiaocheng, he finally nodded with satisfaction, took out a secret book from his arms and handed it to Zhou Wenluo, "You can almost learn Liaoyuan marksmanship now."
Although my fireless marksmanship is called a hundred strikes, there is no fixed move in it, and what you have to do is to be able to move without being limited to the form, move at will, and send it at will, turning one shot into ten thousand guns, turning ten thousand guns into no guns, turning no guns into one shot, ever-changing, without beginning and no end! ”
Zhou Wen nodded slightly, he knew that what Li Ruohai was talking about at this moment was the gun intent of Liaoyuan marksmanship, and he obviously couldn't do it now, and he could only listen to it, but he believed that one day in the future, he would definitely do it.
That night, Zhou Wenluo finally didn't practice in the desert anymore, and could go back to the inn in a nearby town to sleep and rest.
It's just that he still didn't rest, but watched Liaoyuan marksmanship over and over again more than a dozen times, and spent almost the whole night studying and observing.
As Li Ruohai said, the set of 100 strikes he created sounds like a hundred moves, but in fact, there are no various moves like other martial arts, and his 100 strikes are actually better than a hundred actions to make a gun.
These 100 postures and movements of the gun are all selected by Li Ruohai after decades of gun training, and the movements are studied to a perfect angle in all directions, reaching a peak in the skills of gunmanship.
The real power of Liaoyuan marksmanship is the effect achieved by these movements that have reached the pinnacle of skill, combined with the power of Liaoyuan Zhenjin.
That's why Li Ruohai asked Zhou Wenluo at the beginning that since he wanted to learn Liaoyuan marksmanship, he must learn Liaoyuan True Strength, and later when he started to practice, he earnestly told Zhou Wenluo that he must first cultivate Liaoyuan True Strength.
It's because there is no Liaoyuan True Strength Cooperation, Liaoyuan Hundred Blows are just some very good-looking and pleasing posture movements, but with Liaoyuan True Strength, Li Ruohai's Liaoyuan Marksmanship, even Pang Ban, who has never been injured and is almost invincible, cannot be spared.
The next morning, Zhou Wenluo got up early, and as soon as he opened the door, he found that Li Ruohai was even more than him, and was already waiting for him outside his door.
"Let's go!" Seeing Zhou Wenluo, Li Ruohai didn't say much, and simply spit out a word neatly to signal Zhou Wenluo to follow, then turned around and went downstairs.
"Where are you going, master?" Zhou Wenluo asked while following downstairs.
"Find a place where you can practice your marksmanship." Li Ruohai still said without looking back.
Zhou Wen nodded slightly, although he had only rested for one night and was about to start cultivating again, he had no complaints, because martial arts are not just a matter of looking at them, only if you keep becoming proficient and understanding martial arts, completely familiarizing yourself with it, comprehending it, and mastering it, so that it can become a martial art that belongs to you.
At this time, practice makes perfect you can subconsciously make the best choice when encountering danger, of course, actual combat is also very important, to challenge some opponents whose strength is similar to their own, or even higher than their own, so as to accumulate combat experience and maintain their own state.
walked out of the inn and went to the stable to bring out the 'hoof swallow'. At the suggestion of Li Ruohai. Zhou Wenluo also sat up. Slowly walked out of the town, and after going up to the official road, Li Ruohai slammed the horse's belly and said "whew". The 'Hoof Swallow' strode forward.
This run lasted for a day, and the hoof and swallow were worthy of the gods, the speed was fast, and the body was full. In the evening, the master and apprentice finally came to a small town in the northwest, and after the town, the weather was harsh and the environment was treacherous, and the desert was even worse than the desert that Zhou Wenluo had stayed in before.
I heard that in the heart of the great desert here, there are not only bad weather conditions, but also groups of desert horse thieves, killing and robbing, doing all kinds of evil, and all of them are strong, if there are caravans or travelers who meet them. Even large-scale caravans are dangerous. If there is no competition between masters, it is entirely possible that it will be a one-sided slaughter.
Zhou Wenluo followed Li Ruohai into this small town worthy of the name of Huangsha Town, and after finding an inn to live in, Li Ruohai said: "Have a good rest tonight, tomorrow we will go into the desert, and you won't have a good night's sleep at that time!" ”
From the next day, in the cold wind of hunting, in the sand and dust in the sky, and in the depths of the desert, there was always a red figure wrapped around his body like a flame breath, waving the spear in his hand in the yellow sand.
This unlucky guy is naturally Zhou Wenluo.
Under Li Ruohai's instructions, Zhou Wenluo began to practice his newly learned Liaoyuan marksmanship in the depths of the desert every day.
At the beginning, in the face of such a harsh weather environment, Zhou Wenluo's body protection true qi can be said to be open all the time, with his current cultivation strength, it is no problem to hike through the desert and reach the center of the desert, but if he does not open the body protection true qi to stay here day and night, it is really unbearable.
Constantly using the firewood marksmanship, every second, Zhou Wenluo would hit the spear in his hand more than ten times, which was much stronger than the first few times, but Zhou Wenluo was undoubtedly unable to block the sand and dust without revealing a grain of dust as Li Ruohai said.
Therefore, Zhou Wenluo still has to keep waving his gun.
At the same time, he also found that the continuous operation of Liaoyuan True Strength Protector and the use of Liaoyuan Marksmanship are also very helpful to the improvement of Liaoyuan True Strength, so that there is no need to deliberately practice internal strength, and Liaoyuan True Energy is also slowly growing, which is not much slower than practicing meditation and cultivation.
In this way, during the day, Zhou Wenluo practiced guns here, and at night, he still stayed here, the weather and temperature difference between day and night in the desert were very large, and the cold wind that kept blowing during the day disappeared at night, and the sand and dust in the sky also returned to dust, and the earth returned to the earth, and occasionally a gentle cool breeze blew up, and it couldn't blow the sand and dust on the ground.
However, the temperature at night is too low, afraid of more than ten degrees below zero, when the cool breeze blows over you, you will freeze from the soles of your feet to the top of your head, as if the flowing blood and beating heart are all frozen, as long as you take an awl, you will be torn apart.
At such a temperature, Zhou Wenluo's body protection true qi naturally cannot be recovered, because only in this way can he resist the biting cold.
However, as long as there is no wind blowing sand and dust in the sky, at least Zhou Wenluo can eat with peace of mind, and he doesn't have to worry about eating sand. Li Ruohai would leave here when Zhou Wenluo was cultivating during the day, and only when it was dark would his figure appear, and he would always bring Zhou Wenluo daily food at this time.
There is a lot of food, it is very rich, Zhou Wenluo can eat it all, and then he has to drink a jar of wine and a pot of fresh water, for a whole day, he is constantly practicing guns, not to mention physical exertion, water and rice are not eaten for more than ten hours, and the daily supplement is at this time, of course, he is trying to eat all the food of the day.
After eating, Zhou Wenluo has to move again to help digestion, the first choice is naturally to walk, but to use light skills to walk, at this time, his figure is like a ghost in the dark desert shuttle, beating, if there are outsiders at this moment, good eyesight, can only see a faint fiery red figure, slightly poor eyesight, and can not see anything.
This activity lasted for several hours, and it was not until late at night that Zhou Wenluo would calm down, meditating and running the true qi of the body at the same time, while nourishing his spirit.
All in all, since arriving here, Zhou Wenluo's life has been like this day after day, as mentioned above, boring, monotonous, lonely, hard, but quite regular.
Zhou Wenluo was also irritable and impatient, but more often than not, his heart calmed down again, because he understood a truth very well, the master was lonely.
The lonely is not necessarily the master, but the master must be lonely.
If you want to become a master, you must first endure loneliness, because to become a master, you have to keep practicing, in this way, you will become very lonely, if you can adapt to this loneliness, then you undoubtedly have the conditions to become a master, of course, some people are always full of adventures, good luck, or are born with extraordinary talents, such people, is not necessary and deserves to enjoy loneliness.
Zhou Wenluo is not lonely, because every day Li Ruohai will come to accompany him for a while, but he is indeed very lonely, because although he has suffered like this in the hell training he taught, it has actually been a long time, and in the last few months, even if it is hard and dangerous, he still has companions by his side.
But he still adapted to loneliness, because only in this way can he learn to practice Liaoyuan marksmanship as quickly as possible and improve his strength. (To be continued.) )
