At two o'clock the next morning, it was time for morning classes such as running morning exercises, and Liang Qingshan had just run ten steps when he heard footsteps behind him.

"Ma Qinghe!"

He shouted, but no one answered, and when he looked back, it was Chu Qingtai, the fourteenth junior brother.

"Fifth Senior Brother is early!" Qingtai greeted him.

"Fourteenth junior brother is early!" Aoyama responded.

Qingshan admired Qingtai's cleverness and quick thinking, while Qingtai admired Qingtai's high merit and strong law, and his uprightness. The two chatted while running, all the way, all the way, laughing all the way.

Only Ma Qinghe was alone, like a silent shadow, faintly following behind. He could have run two steps to catch up, but there was an inexplicable loneliness in his heart, which made him feel cold.

After coming back, the three of them washed together, and Ma Qinghe sprayed mouthwash water outside, but there was a fire of jealousy in his eyes. This made Chu Qingtai feel an anger that far exceeded the friendship between senior brothers and brothers, and suddenly felt a pressure that he had never felt before.

At the end of the hour, more than a dozen of the senior brothers and younger brothers went to the dining hall to have breakfast together, or Qingshan went to cook, Qinghe went to cook, and the two had a tacit understanding.

At three o'clock, Qingshan took the young boy to the "Zhizun Hall" to meet the head of the family.

"Qingshan, how has your exercises progressed recently?"

Liang Qingshan presented a yellow silk package, and after opening it, he took out a golden soft armor and presented it to the master with both hands.

"What a beautiful golden armor!" Li Qingtong watched from the side, secretly amazed in his heart, but his face was solemn.

"Returning to Master, this is a soft gold armor I have recently refined, please take a look. ”

Xuan Jizi checked it and said, "Well, the light and heavy are moderate, the softness and hardness are equal, not bad! How long has it been refining?"

"Two days!"

"Well, it's fine! ”

"When the sword flies, the disciple can follow the seventy-two peaks of Qingyang within one hour; he can drive things in the air, and he can also carry the sword like the wind within ten zhang; he can only refine the qi and transform the gods, and the qi is prosperous and cannot completely follow the gods; the inner self is refined, and the original body of the 'inner self' has not been refined to the two prosperity of the qi and the gods. Aoyama said, shaking his head in annoyance.

"These two problems are actually one problem, that is, a crux of the problem, do you know where your problem is?"

"The disciple has not yet participated in the understanding, and he still asks the master for advice. ”

"It's not enough to be silent, it's not completely self-forgetful, understand?"

"Thank you for your advice!"

The head turned his face and asked Li Qingtong: "Seventeen! What level do you think you have cultivated?"

Qingtong Zhengse said: "Back to the master, the second order has just been full, and the third order has not been cultivated." ”

Xuan Jizi said suspiciously: "Oh, your fourth senior brother said yesterday that you are already at the level of the fourth order?"

"That's the fourth senior brother raising love. After yesterday's confrontation with the fourth senior brother, I learned that my Qingyang Dao is really kung fu, broad and profound, and what my disciples have learned now is not as good as a dime, how dare I sit in the well and watch the sky, and be proud and complacent? In the future, I should guard against arrogance and rashness, study with an open mind, and study hard to live up to the expectations of my master. ”

Xuan Jizi's face showed a slight hint of joy, and said, "If you can recognize this, it means that you can still be saved." Okay, tell me about what you've learned since you entered the mountain, and what you have learned?"

Qingtong said: "Because of the 'swelling demon qi' in my body, coupled with the master's careful arrangement, the resurrection of the three pills, and the spell regulation, the internal qi has grown a little. Yesterday, after listening to the master's lecture on the 'Three Yuan and Ninth Order Cultivation Dafa', I went back to compare and introspect, and only then did I realize that at the beginning of entering the mountain, the fifth senior brother had completely taught me the exercises of the first and second orders. Since entering the mountain, it has been a year and a half, and the disciples are afraid of living up to the master's loving heart, and they dare not slack off for a day. ”

Xuan Jizi hurriedly asked, "Oh, have you already condensed into a pill?" This was a bit unexpected to him.

Qingtong said: "Yes. But that's recent. ”

Xuan Jizi said, "What exercises do you want to learn next?"

Qing Tong's eyes rolled and said, "The disciple wants to learn the sword." ”

Qingshan said: "You have learned the qi sword, what is the use of learning the sword? Master, shouldn't Seventeen learn to drive things in the air and refine the weapon to drive treasures?"

Qingtong said: "The disciple fought against the fourth senior brother's qi sword yesterday, and I felt that although I could use the qi sword, I lacked the swordsmanship to adapt, and my sharpness was greatly reduced. So I thought that I should start with the basic swordsmanship, so I wanted to start from the third level and go down step by step, as Master preached yesterday. ”

Xuan Jizi sighed: "Seventeen said it well today! But it is the way to cultivate the truth only if it is based on action, down-to-earth, step-by-step, not greedy, not risky, not arrogant or discouraged." Do you remember?"

Qingtong's face flushed slightly, and he said, "The master has taught you a lesson! Disciples should keep it in mind!"

Xuan Jizi said: "It's good if you understand! As a teacher, I will start teaching you Qingyang Sword Technique tomorrow." The two of you will come back tomorrow morning! By the way, call Qinghuo Qingjiang over with you. ”

At three o'clock on the third day, the four of them came to the "Zhizun Hall" on time.

"Twelve, how is your sword refining?" asked Xuanjizi.

"I'm working hard!" Zhong Qinghuo said tremblingly.

"Lao Jiu! What about you? refining and refining qi can form a fetus?"

"Back to the master, the inner dan has been married, and the fetus has not yet been completed. Xu Qingjiang bowed his head and replied.

"You two have to work hard! Seventeen is going to catch up!"

"Seventeenth Senior Brother, that's a divine talent, how can we compare?" Zhong Qinghuo said with a pout.

"Seventeen is a little better qualified. But people with better qualifications are nothing more than practicing faster, with average qualifications, maybe slower, but the end and goal are the same, the story of the tortoise and rabbit race is the most reasonable in the world, you two, don't be arrogant. Xuan Jizi taught earnestly.

"What the master taught, the disciple kept it in mind!" Qinghuo Qingjiang replied in unison.

Xuan Jizi then said: "Today I will start teaching the seventeen basic swordsmanship, you go over there and take a sword from each other, and then practice from the beginning, and learn from the past." ”

"Yes!" the two replied in unison.

"The sword is the ancestor of the short soldier, the weapon of close combat, because it is light to carry, quick to use, and wears the look, so it is a necessary weapon for the world's vertical and horizontal battlefields and fighting and self-defense. But its Taoist art is profound, there are many kinds of swordsmanship, only there are twenty or thirty kinds of commonly used, thorn splitting and hanging lifting, cloud wiping frame with twisting, point collapse and pick wrist flowers, interception and slashing sweep. I'll start by picking out a few of the simplest demos for you. ”

Xuan Jizi rehearsed as he spoke.

"It's called a stabbing sword. This trick is called sword splitting. This trick is called a sword. This move is called Broken Sword. This trick is called a sword-flirting. This trick is called hanging sword. Do you see it?"

"See clearly!" said Qingtong in a loud voice.

"Then you do it again. The sword and the arm should be in a straight line. Splitting the sword, the arm shaft is bent to extended. Point the sword, stand the sword and raise the wrist, and reach the tip of the sword. Collapse the sword, sink the wrist to be powerful, and reach the tip of the sword. Pick up the sword, from the bottom up, close to the arc, force to reach the front of the sword body. Hanging sword, standing sword close to hanging out, force to the front of the sword. ”

Xuan Jizi watched the four disciples practice while correcting their deficiencies.

Next, he taught the six moves of cloud sword, wiping sword, cutting sword, cutting sword, frame sword, and piercing the sword, and connected these twelve moves together, with sword fingers on the basis of swordsmanship, plus some footwork, jumping, balance, rotation and other actions, synthesized two swordsmanship routines, and demonstrated them to the four people.

"Raise your hands with your feet, turn your waist and swing your arms, squat and turn around, lunge straight stab, turn back and split, lunge flat, lunge left tease, raise your knees and slash, turn back and stab, hang the sword straight stab, stab the sword in a virtual step, more than nine to one. ”

"Raise your hands with your feet, turn your waist and swing your arms, step flat with your arms, hang your sword and split down, take the sword in front of you, raise your knees and cut them off, lift your knees and stab them straight, turn around and collapse flat, rest your arms, raise your knees and lower your knees, and return one after nine. ”

......

"The sword has one tip and two edges, and the sword should be used at the tip of the sword, flat for piercing, and standing for thorns. Therefore, when practicing swords, we should concentrate our consciousness on the tip of the sword. To practice the sword well, the body must be spiritual, and the strength needs to be mastered well, and there must be rigidity and softness, and rigidity and softness are combined. The first strength of the swordsmanship to shake the wrist, the wrist strength must be rigid and not stiff, soft and can not be loosened, master the skill of throwing the wrist, and make the strength penetrate the tip of the sword. In this way, you can use it freely and give full play to your swordsmanship. ”

......

Li Qingtong experienced it with his heart and gradually mastered the essentials of this move.

"Let's practice these today!seventeen!" Xuan Jizi shouted.

"The disciple is here!"

"In addition to the normal morning exercises and evening classes in the past few days, you should not practice anything else during the day, and concentrate on learning and practicing this sword technique. Practice one move at a time and slowly, don't try to be fast. It is necessary to experience it with your heart while practicing. ”

"Disciple remember!"

"Come back in three days!"

Three days later, at three o'clock, the four of them came to the "Zhizun Hall" again.

Genjizi then went on to teach swordsmanship.

"Our Qingyang swordsmanship, characterized by both fast and slow, rigid and soft, when practicing, the sword is required to go with the body, with the sword, and the form and the meaning must be combined, the meaning and the qi are combined, and the qi is in harmony with the gods. In the Liuhe, it also needs hands, eyes, body, law, and steps. Qingyang swordsmanship, quiet like a civet cat to wait for a mouse, like a dragon out of the water, in motion, the hand is divided into yin and yang, the body is hidden in the gossip, stepping on the nine palaces, the inner is in line with its qi, and the outside is in its shape, it is the treasure of my Qingyang Mountain, the secret law. ”

"Qingyang swordsmanship has a total of eight sets of sixty-four moves, and today I will teach the first set - 'Plum Blossom Sword'. 'Plum Blossom Sword' is the most basic set of swordsmanship in Qingyang swordsmanship, Qingyang Sword's sword moves and sword sense are embodied in it, and the ever-changing essence of Qingyang Sword can also be fully displayed, so although this set is the basic swordsmanship, it is known as 'Plum Blossom Ever-changing'. Therefore, you should practice with your heart, experience with your heart, practice more and think more, and practice makes perfect. By the way, two days ago, you also watched the three moves performed by your fourth senior brother with an air sword, right? Today, I will show you a full set with a real sword. Qingshan, take my sword. ”

The disciples are so excited! Qingjiang and Qinghuo's swordsmanship were all taught by the fifth senior brother on behalf of the teacher, and they have never seen the master refining the sword, let alone the master's sword! What does it look like?

I saw the fifth senior brother Liang Qingshan enter the inner room and walk out with a yellow wooden sword box, and when he opened it, it was a wooden sword. The three of them felt lost, and their eyes darkened.

"Don't underestimate this wooden sword!" Xuan Jizi saw the confusion of his disciples, so he began to talk again. "The avenue is simple, the big is rigid and soft, and the big weapon is invisible, after you become a first-class swordsman, even if you hold a branch, you can have the courage to be a husband and a man. ”

"Aoyama, draw your sword. Xuan Jizi held the wooden sword in his hand and said to Aoyama.

Seeing a sword light, Liang Qingshan already had a sword in his hand. He made a move of raising his hands on his feet and waited for the enemy to meet him.

"A sword Hanmei!" Xuan Jizi sang, the sword came out with him, only to see the sword piercing the sword, sitting on the plate and spreading his arms, stepping up to catch the sword, Ding Bu pointed forward, and the tip of the sword had reached Qingshan's abdomen. Qingshan was in a hurry, and hurriedly came up with a move "Bamboo Shadow Horizontal", wanting to pick up the master's sword.

"Look back and smile!" Xuan Jizi allowed his sharp sword to touch his wooden sword, and then shouted the second move, stepped back and raised his sword, turned around and went down independently, and then pointed at the opponent's lower abdomen. Aoyama hurriedly retreated and turned sideways, dodging his master's second sword.

"Sweep a thousand armies!" I saw Xuan Jizi retreat and pierce the sword finger and sweep the sword on foot. I had to jump and dodge the master's third move.

"Plum blossom tree!" Aoyama jumped fast, but Genjizi's sword became faster, sweeping and turning into vertical slashes, slashing at his own head from above. Qingshan couldn't dodge anymore, so he could only raise his hand to stand his sword and use his own sword to block the master's wooden sword.

"Two goals!" Xuan Jizi used a wooden sword, how could he touch him, just as he was setting up the sword, a cloud above his head swirled back, stretched out his arm and stabbed straight at Qingshan's belly again. Aoyama had no choice but to take two steps back.

"Red apricots out of the wall!" After taking two steps back and not standing firmly, he saw Xuan Jizi striding forward, sinking his wrist and exerting force, and the tip of the sword suddenly collapsed, reaching his heart. Qingshan has a "sword swirling cloud cover", spinning out a sword cloud, wanting to unscrew the master's wooden sword, so as to protect himself.

"A thousand plums are blooming!" Xuan Jizi's wrist spun sharply, the sword flower flew, and the point collapsed, the virtual reality was like an illusion, like a thousand plum blossoms, rushing towards his eyes, face and body, and he couldn't help but look panicked.

"A wisp of fragrance!" At the moment when Qingshan panicked, he suddenly felt that his white turban was picked open by the master's sword, and a strand of black hair suddenly spread out and fluttered in front of his forehead. The tip of Shizun's sword had stopped firmly above his head.

The three of them suddenly erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Qingshan returned the sword to the sheath, and bowed to the master: "Thank you for the mercy of the master's sword!"

Then he turned to face the three junior disciples and said in a loud voice: "You may only see it, this last move is to leave my head under the sword." In fact, before this, there were three times when the master was merciful under the sword, and if the master used a real sword instead of a wooden sword, I would have died three times ago. ”

"Qingshan!" Xuan Jizi shouted with a solemn face.

"Disciple is here!" Qingshan hurriedly stood solemnly.

"The other seven sets of swordsmanship will be taught by you on behalf of the teacher, passing the sword is like passing the fist, and passing one set in ten days. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me. In the middle, I will also ask, consider and inspect at any time, and don't be slow to relax. ”

"The disciple will not dare! The disciple will strictly obey the teacher's orders!"

"Seventeen, in the days to come, we must follow the three senior brothers to study hard every day, experience every move with your heart, guard against arrogance and rashness, and don't be greedy for merit. These eight sets of swordsmanship will be passed on in three months, and they will be practiced in six months. ”

"Disciple keep in mind the teachings of the master!" Li Qingtong said respectfully.

"Qingjiang, Qinghuo, you two must not be presumptuous. Qingjiang's light skills are unique among the disciples on the mountain, which can be called a must; Qinghuo's 'Thunder God Hammer' is smashed with one punch, and even your fifth senior brother does not dare to take it hard. These are your strengths. Continue to work hard, persevere, guard against arrogance and rashness, and you will eventually become a great tool. ”

Qingjiang Sheng Qinghuo didn't expect that the master rarely passed on kung fu, but he still knew the two of them so well, and he paid so much attention to them, and couldn't help but be moved in his heart. The two shouted in unison:

"The disciples will keep in mind the teachings of the master! Practice three dogs in summer! Practice three nines in winter! Work hard! Live up to the high expectations of the master!"

"Qingshan, don't just care about them, relax your own exercises. ”

"Disciple won't. Aoyama said softly.

"Has Seventeen been to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion?" Xuan Jizi changed his words.

"No, according to the canon, he doesn't have the right to go to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to read these Taoist scriptures. Aoyama replied for Qingtong.

"That's fine. These days, I will focus on teaching him swordsmanship, and you will take him to open up when it is almost over, and let him open his eyes, so as not to have the feeling of sitting in a well and watching the sky in the future. ”

"Disciple obeys!"
