Chapter 0012 Replacing Swords with Axes
Bai Liming left the miscellaneous courtyard and came to the street, Jinyang City was very lively, and it did not become deserted because it was morning, countless Xuan Xiu carried swords and swords, some were running for the task, some were looking for materials, and they were all in a state of hurry. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Jinyang City is not closed at night, for Xuan Xiu, there is not much difference between day and night, besides, Jinyang City is located in the hinterland of Jinyang Sect, if there are problems here, then the meaning of closing the city is not great, besides, there is a city lord in Jinyang City who is in charge of the Tribulation Level.
Crossing the streets, coming to the smelter, feeling the blazing temperature, watching the scattered sparks, listening to the deafening sound, all this is in full swing, everyone is working hard for the future.
Bai Liming walked through the rows of blacksmith shops and came to the backyard, where there were already outer disciples chopping wood.
There are a total of five people chopping firewood in the backyard of the smelter, except for Baili Ming, all of whom are outer disciples, they all use Xuaniron axes, and all of them are purple flame wood, and only Bai Liming is a miscellaneous disciple, and he is a black black wood.
"Boy, what's your name?Why did you come to the smelting ground to chop wood, do you also want to go to Lieyang Peak to learn refining weapons?" A burly outer disciple split a piece of purple flame wood in half, wiped the sweat from his head, and looked at Bai Liming.
"My name is Bai Liming, a miscellaneous disciple who just arrived, and my chopping wood here is a task arranged by Elder You of the Miscellaneous Servant Academy. Bai Li Ming said, he had already erected a piece of ebony wood in the place, and then the round axe split on it, the axe made of stainless steel, with a thick back and a thin blade, shaped like a crescent moon, extremely sharp, but only split a shallow gap.
"Baili, right, have you offended Elder You? If you don't offend him, how can you let you come here to chop wood, you must know that this job is the hardest and most tiring of the miscellaneous tasks, if you don't want to worship the Sun Peak to study, almost no one will take this task, and the merit points are pitiful." The burly man said.
"What do you call Senior Brother?" Bai Liming raised the black wood again and asked the man.
"My name is Tong Meng, and I have just become an outer disciple. Tong Meng said.
"I didn't offend Elder You, I came to chop wood because my body was too weak, and I mainly exercised my body. Bai Liming said.
"Elder Nayou is ruthless enough to you, it is estimated that after chopping firewood, he will let you continue to beat iron ingots, look at your small arms and legs, you can only practice to death, and you have time to boil. Tong Meng looked at Bai Liming's thin body and shook his head for a while, and casually split the purple flame wood in half.
"I'm not afraid of hardship, as long as I can gain strong strength, it's nothing to be tired and tired. Bai Liming's third axe split the black wood, and then put half of it on the ground and continued to chop.
"Everyone thinks so, but what can really become a high-level Xuan cultivator is one in ten thousand, it's not that you are willing to endure hardships, you will definitely be able to get ahead if you are willing to work hard, and you have to have a chance to do it, hey!" Tong Meng snorted and split a piece of purple flame wood again, he continued: "Fifty or sixty thousand miscellaneous disciples, only three thousand people can become outer disciples, and there are only five hundred inner disciples, it's too difficult, it's been three years since I came to Jinyang City, and I only became an outer disciple two months ago, and the time is pressing." โ
Seeing that Baili Ming was unclear, Tong Meng said again: " From the date of entering the sect, the miscellaneous disciples can only live in Jinyang City for ten years, and if they cannot become outer disciples within ten years, they can only leave; if they become outer disciples, they can live in Jinyang City for twenty years, and if they cannot become inner disciples within twenty years, they must leave; and if the inner disciple is not accepted as an in-house disciple by the elders, and he does not advance to the Ning Zhen level, then he can only live in Jinyang City for forty years, and if he is accepted by the elders, he can have ten more years, so you can see that everyone on the street is busy and in a hurry, because time is pressing๏ผโ
"That's what happened!"
It was the first time that Bai Liming had heard that there was a time limit for all the disciples in the sect, so it was no wonder that everyone he saw had a burning sense of urgency.
"Moreover, the sect also encourages competition among disciples, as long as it does not violate the rules of the sect, any means can be used, therefore, if you want to cultivate in peace and stability, it is impossible to do tasks in peace and earn merit points, you must always be vigilant against challenges from others, just like me, although I am now an outer disciple, if I am defeated or squeezed out of the top three thousand when I am Xiaobi, I will still be beaten back to the miscellaneous disciples, and I still have to start all over again. Tong Meng said.
"What's going on with the sect Xiaobi?" asked Baili Ming.
"The small comparison of the sect, it is the ranking competition between the miscellaneous disciples, the outer disciples, and the inner disciples every year, everyone wants to raise their rankings, and the small comparison of the sect is the big competition of the sect every five years, and the big competition of the sect is a major event in the sect, which is related to the ranking of each peak and each vein. Tong Meng said.
"When was the last time you had a small competition, and when was the big one?" asked Bai Liming.
"Half a year later is the date of Xiaobi, as for Dabi, it will be five years later, this time the big competition has just ended, and Senior Brother Liu Chenglong has become the first true disciple. Tong Meng glanced at Bai Liming and said, "You should prepare well in the past half a year, just don't fall too far behind, after all, you have just started to cultivate, and your body is still so weak." โ
Senior Brother Xie Tong reminded. "Baili Ming hugged his fists.
Then the few people stopped talking and began to concentrate on chopping wood, after all, this task was not easy for them.
It took a lot of effort for Baili Ming to split a piece of black wood into wooden strips, and it took only a little less time than yesterday, and the palm of his hand was ground red again, and the hot feeling appeared again.
"No, we can't go on like this!"
Bai Liming stopped and began to observe the movements of Tong Meng and the other four, he found that although Tong Meng and the others were using a dark iron axe, each person had a different feeling, Tong Meng gave people the feeling that he was holding a big knife in his hand, slashing hard, while the other three seemed to be using sword moves.
"Senior Brother Tong, I see how your chopping of wood looks like a knife move?" asked Bai Liming.
"Your kid's eyesight is quite good, you can even see that I make a knife," Tong Meng paused, and said: "Xuan Xiu is practicing all the time, just like now, although it is chopping wood, but it is also a kind of training in martial arts, and the action of chopping wood now is to use the moves in the sword technique of opening the mountain, you see the three of them, one is the wind chasing sword technique, the other is the chaotic wind breaking sword technique, and the last one is the big jade sword technique." โ
"I see!"
Bai Liming had a feeling that he was suddenly open, it was really a threesome that there must be my teacher, who would have thought that there were so many places to learn from the four ordinary outer disciples.
Tong Meng showed Baili Ming a few more times how to use an axe to use knife moves and sword moves, and after Baili Ming thanked him, he began to try.
The axe is suitable for chopping, the long sword is suitable for stabbing, if you want to use the axe to use the sword move, you must find a common point, and there are also chopping moves in the swordsmanship, and these moves can be used with an axe
The long sword is light and easy to break, but the slashing range is large and the force is ingenious, while the axe is heavy and the slashing range is small, and the force is more concentrated.
Baili Ming recalled the slashing moves in the Yuyang swordsmanship, and found that it was the most suitable to see the sun, so he held the axe in one hand, and recalled the essentials of the move to see the sun in his heart, and then the axe slashed out and landed on the ebony wood.
With a bang, Wu Xuanmu fell to the ground, there was only a shallow trace on it, and the hand axe also fell to the ground, and, due to the strong force of the shock, Bai Liming's wrist was faintly painful, and his first attempt failed.
Baili Ming picked up the axe, looked at the black wood on the ground, carefully recalled the moment of chopping, the trajectory drawn by the hand axe in the air appeared in his mind, the feeling of arm force appeared in his heart, and the phantom of an axe and a long sword appeared in front of him, constantly colliding, constantly fused, let him find the commonalities and differences between them.
"The long sword is the wrist force, and the power is infused into the entire sword body, while the hand axe is more about the arm force, and the power is condensed on the axe, so the force point is different, the force point is also different, and the way of operation is more different, try again. โ
Baili Ming erected the black wood again, and at the same time, with the axe in one hand, the arm was raised high, and then the body turned sharply, driving the arm, the hand axe fell quickly, and once again used to clear the clouds and see the sun, and the hand axe pulled out a semicircular arc in the air and slashed at the black wood.
Syllable!
The hand axe slashed at the ebony wood and entered the wood for three points, but Bai Liming's wrist had a feeling of contusion, which made him very uncomfortable.
"This is quite successful, but the force of the shock is too great, if it continues, before the ebony wood is finished, the wrist is estimated to be broken. โ
Bai Liming held the short handle of the hand axe with both hands, stood up and rehearsed a few times in the air to see the sun, and found the feeling little by little, at first, he felt that the hand axe was too short, and it was very incongruous to perform, but then he thought about it, whether it was a long sword or a hand axe, it was actually an extension of the arm, since the hand axe could be an extension of the arm, the arm could also be an extension of the hand axe, so that the whole arm and the hand axe were one.
Baili Ming danced again, and slashed twice, but the effect still did not satisfy him, he thought again, hand axes and long swords are tools invented by human beings to enhance lethality, since they are both tools, there is no difference between hand axes and long swords in essence, not only there is no difference between hand axes and long swords, but there is no difference between swords, guns, swords and axes, everything can be swords, and everything can be swords.
In this way, a hand axe is actually a long sword, and a long sword is a hand axe, just one has a handle and one has a blade, and the sword move does not need too many changes at all to be able to be performed with a hand axe.
Baili Ming held the hand axe again with both hands, this time, there was no hand axe in his eyes, there was just a long sword, he used it again, a long arc cut through the air, tearing the air, and made a whining sound, the axe blade cut into the ebony wood, like a tofu cut, easily split it in half.
