Chapter 7: Speaking of the Sword (I)
For more than ten years, although Meng Fan's main energy has been on creating his own martial arts, the ten hours he spent in the space inside the Ding every day were not all reading Taoist scriptures, and swordsmanship practice was also his daily homework.
For more than ten years, Meng Fan had already practiced all the swordsmanship of the Huashan faction, such as the Xiyi Sword, the Yangwu Sword, the Chaoyang Yiqi Sword, and even Ning Zhongze's Jade Girl Nineteen Style. But to this day, Meng Fan is most familiar with the basic swordsmanship of the Huashan School.
At this moment, seeing Linghu Chong's invitation to the sword, Meng Fan smiled indifferently, casually pulled out the matching sword next to the stone table, pulled out a sword flower, and said with a smile: "I'm in a good mood today, I'll accompany you to learn a thing or two!"
On the other side, as soon as Linghu Chongfu saw Meng Fan draw his sword, he immediately shouted excitedly: "That master and nephew have offended!"
As he spoke, the long sword in his hand stabbed out obliquely, this move is the "Baiyun Out of Xiu" in Huashan's basic swordsmanship, although the move is simple, but after the stab, there are three changes followed.
Seeing this, Meng Fan's face remained indifferent, only to see that with a turn of his wrist, the long sword was circled diagonally from the bottom to the top, and suddenly the sword shadow flickered, connecting into a piece, and coincidentally blocked the subsequent changes of Linghu Chong's sword moves.
This move is called "Qingshan Faint", and it is also a move in the basic swordsmanship of Huashan, this move is out, it is difficult to distinguish between virtual and real, so that Hu Chong's "Baiyun out of Xiu" can not continue, and can only change the move halfway, so that a style of "Feng Laiyi".
This trick has not changed much, and the essence is in its majestic momentum, let you be virtual and real, and I will crush it from the front.
Ling Hu Chong was able to come up with a sword move to crack Meng Fan's swordsmanship in an instant, and he could use it in time, and his swordsmanship had already been introduced. And at this moment, a hint of smugness flashed in his own eyes, as if he was proud of his swordsmanship.
However, although Ling Hu Chong's idea is good, it will inevitably not be realized, as soon as his sword moves change, Meng Fan's moves also change, almost at the moment when Ling Hu Chong just used "You Feng Laiyi", his long sword shook and stabbed out.
This thorn is unswerving, and the wind and bones are outstanding, and it is the "pine welcome" in the basic sword move.
You are crushed head-on, and I am not afraid.
Seeing this move, Ling Hu Chong's face changed, and he had to change his move again at the moment. However, no matter how he changed his tactics to attack, he was found by Meng Fan one by one, and then cracked it, and even, sometimes before he could use the sword move, he was forced back by Meng Fan's sword intentionally or unintentionally.
Gradually, Ling Hu Chong's expression became more and more solemn, and after a while, his sword momentum suddenly changed, and the light sword technique spread out like a cloud of water.
"Xiyi Sword!" Meng Fan's eyes lit up, and he already recognized Ling Hu Chong's swordsmanship.
If you don't see it, you can't see it, and if you don't hear it, you can't say it. Xiyi's swordsmanship is light and changeable, and it is the top swordsmanship of the Huashan School. This set of swordsmanship is self-contained, and it is indeed much more sophisticated than basic swordsmanship, with a perfect connection of one move and one style, and very few flaws.
Ling Hu Chong's talent is extraordinary, Xiyi's swordsmanship was made by him, it seems that he has already practiced well, as soon as this sword came out, his pressure was suddenly greatly reduced, and his confidence increased a lot.
However, all of this was meaningless to Meng Fan, no matter what angle and in what way Ling Hu Chong's long sword attacked, he could easily grasp the flaws and crack them one by one, and it was the same set of basic swordsmanship from beginning to end.
After the two fought for a hundred moves, Ling Hu Chong gradually felt struggling, and after a while, he suddenly withdrew his long sword and retreated seven or eight steps, ending this fight.
"Uncle Shi's swordsmanship is exquisite, and my nephew is really envious in my heart!" Ling Hu Chong put the sword back into the sheath, but his face was full of admiration. Meng Fan was only a few years older than him, and now he not only created a set of martial arts by himself, but even his swordsmanship was more than a step better than him.
"Linghu Chong, your talent is higher than mine, if you spend a small half of your daily time playing with Shan'er to practice swords, I'm afraid your swordsmanship will not be worse than mine. Meng Fan looked at Ling Hu Chong with a smile on his face and quipped again.
When Ling Hu Chong heard this, he scratched his head embarrassedly, a little, he came to Meng Fan's side in a few steps, and said flatteringly: "Uncle, look, I go up the cliff every day to bring you food, there is no merit and hard work, you have superb swordsmanship, and you are an elder, so you will instruct your nephew or two!"
In Ling Hu Chong's opinion, Meng Fan was able to crack all his swordsmanship with a set of basic swordsmanship, and he must have comprehended the mystery of superior swordsmanship, if Meng Fan could guide him, his swordsmanship would inevitably improve a lot.
At that time, at the end of the year, he will be able to give the master a big surprise, and maybe he will be praised by the master.
Meng Fan didn't know Ling Hu Chong's thoughts, he just thought that the other party simply loved sword practice, and he was not stingy to pass on his sword training experience to Ling Hu Chong, but if Ling Hu Chong's swordsmanship really improved because of this, I am afraid it may not be a good thing in Lao Yue, because Meng Fan's sword practice experience is very similar to that of the Sword Sect.
Meng Fan lived in an era of information network explosion in his previous life, and he didn't know how much he had seen about kendo, whether it was the division of the kendo realm or the method of practicing swords, it was a big piece on the Internet.
Especially the swordsmanship that can be called open in the world of Xiaoao - Dugu Nine Swords, the description and conjecture of it, a group of martial arts lovers are even more happy.
Although Meng Fan had never seen the Dugu Nine Swords, he also had his own cognitive opinions about it. In his opinion, Dugu Jiujian is the ultimate in swordsmanship, more precisely, it is not a set of swordsmanship, but a set of theories, theories with swords.
If you want to achieve this step, you must easily grasp the changes and connections between the sword moves.
However, it may not sound difficult, but it can be like climbing to the sky.
For example, when you fight with someone, you see the flaws in the opponent's sword moves, and you know what moves you can use to crack them, but because of the influence of the previous sword move, you suddenly find that you can't use the sword moves to crack at all.
To put it simply, it's like walking, the first foot you take the left leg, under normal circumstances, the next foot you should take the right leg, but because you have to avoid the roadblock in front of you, you can't take the right leg, you have to take the left leg, so can you still stand firm?
This involves the connection between sword moves, just like Meng Fan's best Huashan basic swordsmanship, although it has twelve styles, but when Meng Fan followed Lao Yue to learn this set of swordsmanship, he only learned a coherent routine.
But if we don't consider the coherence of the sword moves, how many order of the twelve sword moves should there be? And is there really only one coherent order in these sequences?
If you disassemble the twelve-style sword moves, you can set up groups of two, three, three, and four...... I'm afraid there are countless possibilities.
Moreover, all sword moves, whether simple or complex, subtle or ordinary, are composed of several basic actions such as splitting, stabbing, teasing, cutting, and picking.
Sometimes, when you crack an opponent's sword move, you don't need to perform a complete set of sword moves, maybe it's just one or two variations of the move, or even just a basic move.
But how do you extract these two variations from this one, and how do you connect those two variations to the previous one?
By extension, if all the changes in the basic swordsmanship are dismantled and then arranged and combined, I am afraid that I will not be able to sort out the changes in the basic swordsmanship for a lifetime.
In this way, there seems to be no end in sight. But is that really the case?
