Chapter 8: Speaking of the Sword (II)

As we all know, the vast majority of swordsmanship changes in this world are not easy to leave, so that the changes in swordsmanship have become traceable, if you can find out the rules of this, then all swordsmanship will become no secret at all.

Still, it's easier said than done. Otherwise, throughout the ages, there would not have been only one set of "Dugu Nine Swords".

Yes, in Meng Fan's view, "Dugu Nine Swords" is such a set of swordsmanship, it is the ultimate of swordsmanship, and it summarizes the laws of swordsmanship.

After this speculation, Meng Fan no longer practiced swordsmanship rigidly and dogmatically, but began to disassemble the sword moves and understand the law of change.

However, Meng Fan only really realized the difficulties after taking practical actions. This is like a jigsaw puzzle game in the previous life, if this set of swordsmanship rules is compared to a divided picture, and what he has to do is to restore this picture.

However, this picture is too fragmented, and even mixed with other fragments, and Meng Fan has never seen this picture, and there is not even a reference, and the difficulty of restoring it can be imagined.

After so many years, although Meng Fan has gained something, the restored pictures are far less than 10% of the original pictures, and there may even be errors. But even so, his swordsmanship was no worse than Yue Buqun.

Thinking of this, Meng Fan's heart moved, and he met Ling Hu Chong's expectant gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Ling Hu Chong, do you know the sword qi battle of this sect more than ten years ago?"

Ling Hu Chong looked stunned, and he didn't know why Meng Fan suddenly asked about it, but a few years ago, when Lao Yue taught a group of apprentices, he had mentioned the Sword Sect, and he naturally knew it.

At that moment, Ling Hu Chong nodded and replied: "My nephew has heard the master say this, at that time, because the Sword Sect entered the Demon Dao with the same sect, there was a major disagreement between this sect, and it was divided into two sects, Qi and Sword, and after the decisive battle, it was my Qi Sect that won the victory." ”

Meng Fan nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, the strength of my Huashan faction was greatly damaged in that battle, and the masters of the older generation were killed and wounded, and they have not been able to recover their former glory until today." ”

When Linghu Chong heard this, he sighed and was silent.

Meng Fan didn't care what the other party was thinking, his tone changed at the moment, and he smiled inexplicably: "Ling Hu Chong, do you know why the Sword Sect entered the Demon Dao?"

Ling Hu Chong's face was solemn, and he said: "The main purpose of this sect is to use qi to resist the sword, qi is the foundation, and the sword is the end, the predecessors of the Sword Sect do not cultivate internal strength, they only care about practicing the sword, and naturally they have entered the demon path!"

"Only care about practicing swords, not cultivating internal strength?" Meng Fan smiled softly, looked at Ling Hu Chong and asked, "Ling Hu Chong, according to the standards you said, you can see if you belong to the Sword Sect or the Qi Sect." ”

"Of course I belong to the gas ...... It's a sect!" Ling Hu Chong didn't think about it, and replied loudly, but before he finished speaking, his expression changed instantly, but he thought of his usual behavior, and his heart became a little empty.

He Ling Hu Chong is the eldest disciple of the Huashan faction, and his martial arts are naturally not weak, but seventy percent of his strength comes from swordsmanship, and his internal cultivation is mediocre. He is usually diligent in sword practice, and he doesn't like internal strength, according to the standards he himself said, where is he still a disciple of the Qi Sect, he is simply a disciple of the Sword Sect.

Meng Fan glanced at Ling Hu Chong with a smile, not caring about his weakness at all, "Ling Hu Chong, presumably your understanding of the two sects of Qi and Sword comes from the mouth of Senior Brother, but, do you know, in my opinion, the battle between Qi and Sword is a big joke at all!"

Let's not mention who is right and who is wrong, just because I like to practice swords, it is ridiculous to classify it as a demonic way. Just as the people of the rivers and lakes divide martial arts into good and evil, in fact, there is no distinction between good and evil in martial arts, and doesn't righteous martial arts kill people? Only the human heart is the human heart!

Therefore, in my opinion, qi is equivalent to a person's strength, and the sword is equivalent to his fighting skills.

Therefore, there is not only the saying of 'martial arts in the world, only fast is not broken', but also the saying of 'one force will drop ten meetings', and when taken together, the two complement each other. ”

Hearing Meng Fan's words, Hu Chong was instantly stunned, thinking of Lao Yue's usual words and deeds, he subconsciously wanted to refute Meng Fan and maintain the righteousness of the Qi Sect, but when he thought of his usual behavior, he couldn't say it anyway.

After struggling for a long time, Ling Hu Chong said in a low voice: "But the master once said that the disciples of the two sects of qi and sword, in the early stage, although the sword sect is slightly better, but in the middle stage, the two sects are comparable, and in the later stage, it is my qi sect that is far superior to the sword sect, so it seems that 'qi is the foundation, and the sword is the end' is not the principle of the right path?"

"Haha, although Senior Brother's words are true, but they are a bit one-sided, if success or failure is judged by strength, the strength of the Qi Sect disciples in the early stage is low, once there is a fight, it is easy to lose their lives, and their lives are gone, where is there the middle and late stages!"

Meng Fan laughed, and after speaking, his tone suddenly changed, and he looked at Ling Hu Chong and asked, "However, do you know why I have focused on creating internal skills for so many years, but I have not studied swordsmanship. ”

Ling Hu Chong thought about it, shook his head and said, "My nephew doesn't know!"

When Meng Fan heard this, he explained with a smile: "Hehe, although I think that sword qi complements each other, but the Sword Sect has too high requirements for talent, and without that talent, it is simply a fool's dream to learn superior swordsmanship."

Even if there are bottlenecks and obstacles, as long as you insist on not giving up and maintain your heart, you will eventually be able to enter the top ranks, which is why the top masters on the rivers and lakes are all advanced in internal strength.

In addition, internal strength can also enhance the physique, the deeper the internal strength, the longer the lifespan, but the practice of the sword is extremely consuming mental and physical strength, if the practice is excessive, it may also hurt the body, leaving a dark wound. ”

Speaking of this, Meng Fan remembered some athletes and boxers in his previous life, these people's lifespans are basically shorter than ordinary people, and those Taoist monks in China, because they are good at self-cultivation, not only get sick less, but also live longer than others.

Therefore, if it is chosen by Meng Fan, he will focus on sword training in the early stage, supplemented by qi training, first improve his strength, and then talk about internal strength, and then only need to lay the foundation for internal strength, and then work hard to practice internal strength after he has the power of self-preservation.

After listening to Meng Fan's remarks, Ling Hu Chong lost his opinion for a while, but after all, he was an open-minded person, and after a while, he left these behind.

At that moment, I saw Ling Hu Chong's eyes slip around, and he came to Meng Fan's side in three or two steps, and said with a smile: "My nephew is young, his knowledge is shallow, and he doesn't know any big truths, but there is always nothing wrong with following Uncle Shi to learn swordsmanship, presumably Uncle Shi will not hide his secrets." ”

When Meng Fan heard this, he glared at Ling Hu Chong, and scolded with a smile: "Cunning!" How can he not know the other party's thoughts, if something is wrong, everything is his uncle's top tank.

However, Meng Fan didn't care about his careful thoughts, at the moment, his right hand reached into his arms, pretending to take something, but he took out a thin book from the space inside the ding.

"Well, this is my usual sword practice experience, you can take it and see what you can gain, it's up to you!" With that, Meng Fan threw the book in his hand into Ling Hu Chong's arms.
