Chapter 26, the Tang Mansion tries the sword

readx;? Dongli and the inner disciples of the Tang Mansion competed and competed, and it was scheduled for daylight the next day. On the evening of the www.biquge.info same day, Tong Dewei deliberately gathered all the disciples together for pre-game mobilization - "Although it is just a competition, not a life-and-death fight, and there is no reward for those who win, but you must not be neglected, and you must do your best......"

He said, don't think about saving face for the master's family, and don't worry about hurting people--there are a few of us who are not selfless to supervise the battle, with your little ability, can you really hurt the opponent hard? As soon as we see that the situation is not right, we will naturally come to the rescue. We must go all out to show the prestige and morale of our Dongli.

The fourth master Li Shijie will also come to watch the battle, if you work hard and play at a high level, he will see it in his eyes, it will be of great benefit to your future entry!

Zhang Luxin said, how do I feel like I am going to the National Games......

Early the next morning, Tong Dewei brought thirteen inner disciples to the Houfu campus. Zhang Lu's eyes swept away, and sure enough, Li Shijie and Tang Hou were sitting on the high platform to watch the battle, and Zhai Tong and Liu Xiaojie and other Tang Mansion masters were also guarding around. The inner disciples of the Tang Mansion arrived before them, and they were all gearing up and violent.

When the competition began, he didn't group them first, and he didn't draw lots first, Tong Dewei asked, "Who goes first?"

Liu Yan stepped forward first: "Disciple, please take your life!"

He can be regarded as an international student in Tang County, and now one side is the state of his parents and the other is the county where he studied abroad, so it is reasonable to ask to take the lead. Tong Dewei bowed slightly, and Liu Yan immediately jumped into the door and stood up: "In Xia Liu Yan, I just entered the room more than 100 days ago, please ask my colleagues in the Tang Mansion for guidance." ”

A person immediately jumped out from the opposite side, hugged his fists and saluted: "In Xia Du Rong, it is also the first time to enter the room, and I don't dare to give advice, just to learn." ”

After the two greeted each other, they immediately put on their own positions, and soon they were in one place. Liu Yan's long sword shook off, and it was all a faction of tricks - "Splitting Stone Sword Technique", and the other party mentioned a pair of mandarin ducks and mandarin ducks to fight back. It was the first time Zhang Lu had seen this kind of unpopular weapon—there were similar things on the earth, he had seen photos, but he had never seen a real demonstration—and he was watching it intently, figuring out the characteristics of Tang Mansion's martial arts.

Although I tried a competition with Tang Liyu, according to legend, Tang Liyu didn't play this move, but all from the worship and apprenticeship of the guest from the foreign school. Therefore, this is the first time that Zhang Lu has seen the authentic Tang Mansion martial arts.

The martial arts of the Tang Mansion pay attention to small maneuvers, short-handed combat, pay attention to fighting, and are also proficient in hidden weapons and poison. The rules have been announced a long time ago, the children of the Tang Mansion will not use poison, but they may send hidden weapons, and the two sides will be defeated by hitting three moves first or being forced out of the court. If there is no winner or loser in a fierce fight for two quarters of an hour, it will be considered a draw.

It's just that Liu Yan's major is the same as Zhang Lu's, it is the "Splitting Stone Sword Technique", focusing on attack and light defense, looking at the opponent's posture, it is also purely a faction of moves, so it is unlikely that it will last so long, whoever wins and who loses, will be able to quickly distinguish the superior. Sure enough, after about ten rounds, Du Rong gradually fell behind, so he deliberately sold a flaw, and the double Yue suddenly flew out. Liu Yan swung his long sword and dropped his twin axes, but in this moment of lightning, Du Rong's palm flipped over, and suddenly two sharps shot out......

This secret weapon is very urgent, and Zhang Lu's eyes are good, so he can roughly see that it is two cross-shaped darts, just like some kind of shuriken used by Japanese ninjas. Liu Yan was a little caught off guard, his sword was twisted, and he had already picked off a dart, but the second one was estimated to be unable to dodge, and he came straight to the door in front of him with the sound of the wind!

Seeing the dart approaching the end of his nose, Liu Yan instinctively closed his eyes. At this moment, suddenly the dart turned in the air, flew out sideways, and fell into the hands of a certain Tang Mansion worshipper who was fighting more than ten steps on the side, and then the enshrinement shouted: "Liu Yan defeated this move." ”

When Liu Yan heard this, he opened his eyes, and he didn't know what was going on, he only knew that the needle didn't prick him, but he had already lost a move. was about to shake his spirits and fight again with his sword - the opponent's Shuangyue took off, and this time he had a great chance of winning - but Tong Dewei jumped into the arena and pressed his shoulder: "Our side loses - if it is a real battle and no one rescues, even if Liu Yan does not die, he is seriously injured, just this defeat, the situation will be determined, why wait for two more moves?"

Just start with this and continue to compete one game after another. Zhang Lu watched the battle from the sidelines, and gradually figured out several rules: first, corresponding to every inner disciple of Dongli, the Tang Mansion had pre-arranged opponents of similar rank. It is estimated that this party has already opened a list of participants and the level of each person last night and handed it over to the Tang Mansion, which is regarded as a respect for the landlord, and the Tang Mansion has also lined up the corresponding candidates for the competition on its own side.

In other words, the Tang Mansion does not take advantage of you, but it does not deliberately send too weak opponents, so as not to make the game one-sided and lackluster.

Secondly, Dongli's disciples can do their best, but the Tang Mansion has given up the means of using poison, and can barely be regarded as binding one arm, theoretically speaking, the Tang Mansion will lose more when two people of the same level fight. It's just that the level is a level, the actual combat power and on-the-spot performance, and it is not only the level that determines the winner or loser, the Tang Mansion occupies the convenience of the home field, and the Dongli disciples fight away, which also balances the balance of victory and defeat to a certain extent.

Overall, in seven consecutive games, in addition to Liu Yan, who played at the beginning, there was also a Dongli disciple who lost, and a pair of opponents really fought for two quarters of an hour, and got a draw, with a basic score of 4:2, and Dongli had the upper hand. According to Zhang Lu's judgment, this is not because his own strength is relatively strong, but the result of the Tang Mansion's deliberate release of water - anyway, we don't care if we win or lose, you are guests from afar, so what if you win? Don't let people laugh at my Tang Mansion's little family.

In the eighth game, it was finally Zhang Lu's turn, he was calm in his heart, and jumped into the room: "In the next Zhang Lu, enter the room." ”

In fact, Tang Liyu had already said that Zhang Lu already had the level of peeping at the early stage of the Ao, so he pondered that the opposite side also came out to enter the room according to the rules, even if it was the peak of entering the room, he would definitely win. Although the Tang Mansion has a variety of moves, and the hidden weapon is relatively difficult to stop, but it is a small level away, and there is no reason for him to be defeated.

Who Cheng wanted to jump out of the opposite side and arched his hand towards him: "Tang Tingyu, peep at Ao Dacheng." ”

Zhang Lu was blindsided on the spot...... I'm relying on this wrong person, right? The front is all room entry to room, peep to voyeur, and often even the small level is exactly the same-for example, against Liu Yan, it is Du Rong, who is also a newcomer to the room-how did the rules change when I come here? Not only is the other party's level higher than his own, but also a whole level higher......

When he turned his head to look back, he saw that his companions were also stunned, but Tong Dewei was expressionless, just nodded slightly to himself, which meant: It's okay, let's go.

Zhang Luxin said that Tong Dewei wrote his rank wrong? Or did he deliberately suppress the level, but he failed to escape Tong Dewei's eyes? Even then, he should send a newcomer to fight with him, and make a great success, what is this called?

But since Tong Dewei has expressed his position, it is difficult for him to find the referee to protest, and he can't just throw his sword and abstain. At the moment, gritting his teeth, he said that he would lose if he was defeated, or maybe the Tang Mansion had lost too much, so he deliberately wanted to save one or two games to save his face from being ugly. Lao Tzu is so unlucky, it's just that it has nothing to do with life and death, find a way to play at the level, don't lose too ugly.

Turning around, the long sword was unsheathed, and when he put himself in a good position, he saw that the other party also drew a pair of weapons from his waist. The weapons used by the disciples of the Tang Mansion are not just the same as mandarin ducks, there are a lot of fancies, some of them have never even appeared on the earth, the only thing in common: one is a short weapon, and the other is that they are all in pairs.

This Tang Tingyu used a pair of ** vertebrae, Zhang Lu has seen it on earth, but it is not in the hands of martial arts heroes, but in the hands of traditional Chinese medicine masseurs...... Generally speaking, this thing resembles a "ding" figure, but the top is not a horizontal, but a skimm, about half a foot long, one end is thick and blunt, the other end is sharp, and it is slightly raised upward;

Tang Tingyu hit the ** vertebrae with one hand, and the specific grip is to hold the upper end of the skimming handle, the blunt head is facing the thumb, the sharp end is facing the direction of the little finger, and the vertebral body is poking out from between the index and middle fingers.

This thing is weird, hey, I don't know how to use it...... But no matter how it is used, since the top of the vertebral body is not open, it can be seen that it is not used to poke, but to fight - to fight the opponent's ** road. Zhang Luxin said that I am not afraid of fighting, Lao Tzu's ** position may not be the same as your martial artists in the Tianyuan World.

As the saying goes, "the difference is a millimeter, and the error is thousands of miles", Zhang Lu's ** is a little different from the people of Tianyuan, corresponding to some ** roads, and it may be staggered by one or two points. If the fist comes over, these two points are nothing, but although the top of the ** vertebrae is not sharp, it is also sharp, as long as it is staggered by one point, it will inevitably be ineffective.

Do you want to deliberately lure him to hit his own ** Dao, and then take advantage of the opportunity of his failure to hit, counterattack and win? If you think about it again, I'm afraid it won't be - if the opponent doesn't use force, as long as you hit, whether or not you close the ** road, the referee will count yourself as losing a move? If the opponent really uses his strength, he should obviously close his ** Dao, but the result is a failure, will people see that their qi is different? Even if they don't suspect that they are aliens, disembowel slice to do research, they are equivalent to exposing this hole card of self-defense.

If you want to fight against the mocking wind at the beginning, isn't it because the cold palm is difficult to penetrate your own ** road, so that the mocking wind misjudges, and you can't get out of it?

The head was still spinning, and Tang Tingyu over there snorted lightly, and his spine danced, and he had already rushed over. Zhang Lu made a decision: Whether he wins or loses, I can't let him hit me! The sword is long and short, and as long as you try your best to keep the enemy on the perimeter, you will be invincible.

After seven or eight rounds of fighting, Zhang Lu roughly figured out the number of ways to hit the ** vertebrae. This blade is really flowery, and it can not only hit ** with the tip, but also the blunt head on the skimming handle can also protect the hand, and the sharp end can also cut people, Zhang Lu was snatched into the side by him several times, and almost pulled the flower away from his wrist. As for fighting **, Zhang Lu specializes in defending this hand, and when he sees that the situation is not good, he transforms from "Splitting Stone Sword Technique" to "Rouyun Sword Technique" to cover the whole body, and from time to time the other party has a chance to get lucky.

Moreover, Zhang Lu's swordsmanship was fashionable and jerky at the beginning, and it gradually became mellow as he played, and there were few gaps to take advantage of. Since the battle against the mocking wind, for most of the year, Zhang Lu has not fought one-on-one with people in a serious way - in the Suyan world, it is a siege, killing Shang Fuyun and holding Guo Chongli hostage rely on promoting an unintentional sneak attack; he was forced to admit defeat after a few moves when he was right with Tang Liyu; he deliberately concealed his own strength in the daily competition in the Ming Dao Pavilion - this time he got the opportunity to fight, and he didn't have to keep his hand, so the sword experience value was "whooshing" and growing up!

He privately practiced the "Xuandong Silent Ran Exercises, breathing, pace and internal breath cooperated, for the use of swordsmanship is very helpful, in comparison, Tang Tingyu's martial arts skills are higher than him, but the internal strength is much worse. The Tianyuan world enters the Tao with martial arts, the goal is the "Dao", which is to break through the realm and ascend, and martial arts are just a means of cultivation. Zhang Lu believes that in other three-dimensional worlds, there may be pure cultivators, there are those who enter the Tao with witches, those who enter the Tao with Shinto, and maybe there are some people who enter the Tao with Confucianism, and those who enter the Tao with withered meditation......

Pure cultivation of immortals actually has something in common with the internal skills in the martial arts, but most of the major sects and mansions in the Tianyuan world are introduced to external attacks, because the innate endowment required to practice external skills is relatively low, and it is relatively simple to practice. Under normal circumstances, it takes fifteen or sixteen years for these big sects and big mansions to cultivate a disciple from the beginning to the mysteries - Zhang Lu is an exception, he has already entered the house when he entered the Dongli Hou Mansion - there are also some small sects that start from Qi training, so it will take more than twenty years to train a disciple to the peeping mystery level. It is true that after entering the realm of selflessness, it is necessary to practice internal strength, refine the body and mind, and gradually recede to an auxiliary position in external strength; starting from internal strength, the progress after selflessness may be faster, but the requirements for Bingfu are too high, and it is not easy to gather a large number of junior protégés, which makes it difficult for the sect to grow and prosper.

Because the goal is the "Tao", even if it is an external skill, it is not only for the purpose of fighting, but also to get close to nature and touch the law of heaven and earth. When Tong Dewei taught them swordsmanship, he said: "The sword stab is also straight, straight and fast, and it is easy to break the enemy." Zhang Luxin said that it is "the world's martial arts, unbreakable, only fast and unbroken", plus "the straight line between the two points is the closest".

However, Tong Dewei's next words surprised Zhang Lu, he said: "However, what is straight? What you see with your eyes may not be what you feel by your heart, what you feel with your heart may not be what you do with your sword, and what you do with your sword may not be what you do with heaven and earth." It is like the sun and the moon passing through the sky, seeing its curve, but the reversal is the principle of straightness - if it goes straight, it will be bad for heaven and earth. ”

What does Zhang Luxin mean by this? Could it be that the world knows non-Euclidean geometry?

Think about it, if you compare the Tianyuan world with the earth world, applied physics is far behind, but theoretical physics is far behind. The people of Tianyuan already know that the earth is the sphere, the moon orbits the earth, the earth orbits the sun, and the celestial systems such as stars, planets, and moons are all clear. Even in a sense, their understanding of the multidimensional universe is higher than that of the earth world.

In short, martial arts are born for the Tao and used for the Tao, so when the cultivation reaches a certain level, it can connect the heavens and the earth and quote the power of nature - but this is to quote nature, and its fundamental purpose is not to break the enemy, but to cleanse the body and mind. However, through different weapons and exercises, the comprehension of nature is different after all, and it is generally believed that fists and swords are long, and the rest of the blades, especially the Qimen blades, should wait for them. The Tang Mansion majored in Qimen Blades, and at the same time, people thought that it was basically difficult to hook up the hidden weapons of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, so it was also a peep at the Ao Rank, and Tang Tingyu's true Taoism was slightly lower than Zhang Lu's - of course, when it came to battles, that was another question.

It's just that Zhang Lu is not an ordinary disciple of Dongli's inner sect, and he already has a lot of experience in internal strength, so the sword line is smooth, and the internal breath runs naturally, complementing each other, and the power increases sharply. Tang Tingyu couldn't get the upper hand in more than 30 moves in a row, and he couldn't help but feel anxious: Why did you send me to fight a mystery-level person to fight a room......-entry level? If I can't take him, I'm too embarrassed! No, it looks like I'm going to have to do a trick!

At the moment, the double vertebrae unfolded, and it was a fierce attack, and Zhang Lu was forced to respond with the "Soft Cloud Sword Technique". After another battle, Tang Tingyu seemed to be unable to continue, and the offensive was frustrated, Zhang Lu was overjoyed, and counterattacked with the "Splitting Stone Sword Technique". But taking advantage of this opportunity, Tang Tingyu suddenly shook his hands, and saw several silver lights emanating from his sleeves, each taking a different trajectory, shooting at Zhang Lu's whole body.

Zhang Lu had been guarding against the other party's hidden weapon, but before the disciples of the Tang Mansion put the hidden weapon, they had to leave the blade in their hand first-or throw it, or temporarily merge it into one hand-otherwise you don't have a free hand, what kind of hidden weapon will you take? Who would have thought that this Tang Tingyu was still in his hand, but he could cast the hidden weapon-I don't know if it was purely by the power of the wrist, or if there was some mechanism in the sleeve-under the paralysis of carelessness, I couldn't help but follow his way.

Hurriedly dodged, and at the same time blocked with a counter-sword, only to hear the sound of "dangdang" endlessly, all kinds of hidden weapons were shot down to the ground by Zhang Lu one by one, but in a hurry, it was inevitable that there would be a leak, and a unique hidden weapon passed through the sword net and went straight to his face.

At this time, it is too late to dodge, and the sword is on the outside, and it is difficult to circle back to cover it. Zhang Luxin said that it would be finished-but this is good, without exposing the peculiarity of the qi vein, I can successfully fail, and I didn't keep my hand, I can fight dozens of times with a peep at the mysteries, although I am still honored! I don't know if the masters watching the battle next to me will have time to reach out to save them...... (To be continued.) )
