Shang Mang said: "These Japanese warriors are different from ordinary Japanese warriors, their movements are extremely secretive, even if they suddenly appear in front of you, after a few rounds of fighting with them, if they are at a disadvantage, a ghost will flee after a ghost, as the saying goes, 'come without a trace, go without a trace', so it is very difficult to kill them." Only by finding out where they live can we know their details and then destroy them in one fell swoop. ”

Tai Hao nodded and said, "What Uncle Shi said is extremely true. ”

Shang Mang continued: "Nephew, Uncle Shi has handed over these eleven apprentices to you, hoping to help you completely eradicate the Japanese as soon as possible!" ”

Tai Hao respectfully saluted Shang Mang and said, "With the help of these senior brothers, why worry about the immortality of the widows, and thank my nephew for the trust of my uncle." ”

Shang Mang nodded with satisfaction and said to everyone present: "Okay, disciples, from today onwards, you will follow my nephew to fight against the Japanese. Remember, your target is the Japanese warriors, but don't act recklessly, and always be vigilant on the road to resist the Japanese. ”

Tai Hao said: "Follow my uncle's teachings!" ”

The eleven apprentices replied in unison, "Follow Master's teachings!" ”

Chaozi asked again, "Isn't the master going with the disciples?" ”

Shang Mang said: "Those two Japanese warriors already know that we are here, they will definitely come again, we must not give them a chance, today I wanted to test their true strength, but it also exposed the strength of the division." Because their moves are too evil, especially when they join forces with a man and a woman, every move and style are perfectly coordinated, so that the teacher has to deal with it carefully. If it weren't for my nephew's timely action, I'm afraid that the teacher would have to fight them for dozens of more rounds before he could barely defeat them. When we don't know how many samurai there are, we can't show them all our strength. ”

After hearing this, Tai Hao and Shang Mang's apprentices expressed their understanding and would act carefully.

Shang Mang continued: "During this period of time, I was a little tired from fighting against the warriors of the Japanese Kingdom, so I decided to leave for a while and find a secluded place to cultivate True Qi. When the teacher returns, it will also be the day when the Japanese are completely eliminated. Apprentices, the teacher has taught you the first four tricks of "Painting the Tiger by Cat", and today the teacher will give you the next five tricks, you can remember as much as you can, and whether you can learn it depends on your understanding. ”

After hearing this, the apprentices said that they would remember it carefully. Tai Hao said that he wanted to avoid it, and Shang Mang said to him: "Nephew, you don't have to avoid it, just watch from the sidelines, and see what is the difference between "Painting the Tiger by the Cat" and the "Snow Cat Fluttering Shadow" and "Idle Cat Listening to the Sea" routines you practiced. ”

Tai Hao smiled: "Uncle Shi is not afraid that I will learn "Drawing a Tiger by Cats"? ”

Shang Mang responded with a smile: "Isn't that what you want, if your understanding of martial arts is really so high, how can I stop you, and I didn't say that you can't learn "Drawing a Tiger with Cats", but you have learned too many martial arts moves, when you really use it, I'm afraid you can't adapt to the situation, a swordsman on the rivers and lakes will only practice swords seriously, and will not learn swords, a martial arts practitioner, as long as you can practice a martial arts to the point of perfection, you can become a generation of grandmasters, sometimes, martial arts will be more, but it will not be good. ”

Tai Hao said: "What Uncle Shi taught me is that my nephew should keep it in mind. ”

Shang Mang said to the apprentices: "Apprentices, you first beat the first four moves of "Painting the Tiger with Cats". ”

I saw that his eleven apprentices stood in a good position, holding Mo knives, and began to practice in a uniform manner.

Shang Mang stood in front of them and shouted the name of the move, and every time he shouted, the apprentices typed the corresponding movements of the move.

The first move of "Painting the Tiger by the Cat" is called "Living Dragon and Living Tiger", which is the basic move of the Mo knife, which produces great power by wielding the blade. In combat, the user can use this power to easily cut through enemy defenses.

The second trick of "Drawing a Tiger from a Cat" is called "Knocking the Mountain and Shaking the Tiger", which is a masterful offensive technique in which the user will draw a large arc in the air with a Mo knife and then slash down violently, usually targeting the body or head of an enemy.

The third move of "Drawing a Tiger by Cat" is called "Broken Jiao Thorn Tiger", which is a continuous attack move in which the user will quickly swing the Mo knife to attack the enemy continuously. This attack can make the enemy unable to resist, allowing for a quick victory.

The fourth move of "Drawing a Tiger by Cat" is called "Kaisheng Out of the Tiger", which is an extremely powerful attack move that the user will sweep straight forward with a Mo knife. Then slash from top left to bottom, then sweep to the left, and then jerk from bottom left to top right. This will make it difficult for the opponent to dodge or even be cut in half.

Shang Mang watched his apprentices finish practicing the first four moves, and he shouted loudly: "Yin Hai, bring the sword for the teacher!" ”

After Yin Hai sent Shang Mang's Mo knife, he began to teach the apprentices the next five tricks of "Painting a Tiger with a Cat". He dictated the names and movements of each move, and the eleven apprentices listened attentively, imitating them over and over again.

The fifth move in "Drawing a Tiger from a Cat" is called "Fear of Shu Like a Tiger", which is a defensive move in which the user places the Mo knife horizontally on his chest to fend off the attack of the attacker. This move is one of the easiest and most effective ways to defend because it does not cause physical damage and can have a certain confusing effect. When the enemy attacks again, he pulls out a circle of knife flowers in front of him, and then slashes downward.

The sixth move of "Drawing a Tiger by Cat" is called "Tiger without Feathers", which is a flexible offensive technique in which the user draws a series of complex trajectories in the air with a Mo knife, making it impossible for the enemy to predict their next move.

The seventh move of "Drawing a Tiger from a Cat" is called "Smiling Tiger", which is a silent attack that uses the lightness and agility of the Mo Knife to approach and attack the enemy without them knowing.

The eighth move of "Drawing a Tiger by Cat" is called "One Forest and Two Tigers", which is a large-scale attack move in which the user concentrates all his strength to launch a fierce attack on the enemy at once.

The ninth move of "Drawing a Tiger with a Cat" is called "Hold the Snake and Ride the Tiger", which is the most powerful move of the Mo Knife, and the user will use all the strength of the body to launch a devastating impact on the enemy. This attack can easily destroy all obstacles, and is a crucial blow that can determine the outcome of the battle.

After the last move, Shang Mang put away the Mo knife and said to the apprentices: "Apprentices, this is the last five moves of "Painting the Tiger by the Cat", you must understand it with your heart!" ”

The apprentices responded in unison: "Master rest assured, the apprentices will definitely comprehend with their hearts!" ”

Tai Hao also carefully observed the various moves of "Painting the Tiger by the Cat", and he found that each move of "Painting the Tiger by the Cat" has its own mysteries, which need to be carefully figured out to truly master.

At this time, it was already late at night, and Shang Mang asked the apprentices to rest for one night, and he would follow Taihao to leave here early tomorrow morning.

That night, Tai Hao asked Shang Mang, "Uncle Shi, you said that when you leave here, where are you going to cultivate your true qi?" ”

Shang Mang said: "The rivers and lakes are so big that they have their own quiet places. ”

Tai Hao said: "Why don't Uncle Shi go to Wenchuan City with his nephew and brothers, so that my nephew can also take care of Uncle Shi." ”

Shang Mang said: "Nephew, you will have your own things to do, and it can be seen that you are a wizard who practices martial arts, and at the same time you are also a loyal person." None of my apprentices are like you. ”

Tai Hao said: "Speaking of those senior brothers, my nephew would like to ask my uncle, why doesn't my uncle's youngest apprentice, Yin Hai, practice with other senior brothers?" ”

Shang Mang said with a smile: "Yin Hai is a strange talent, although he is not good at words, and his temper is strange, but he is born with divine power, the Mo knife we use weighs fifteen catties, but he has to use a Mo knife weighing one hundred and fifty catties to brush it up to take advantage of it." In addition, when he practiced with his senior brother, he often got into fights over some trivial matters, and none of his senior brothers liked him, so from then on, I put him in charge of guarding this mansion and did not let him practice with his senior brother. ”

Tai Hao nodded and said: "A martial arts geek, he must also be a genius with a high level of understanding in martial arts, I really want to learn martial arts with this junior brother." ”

Shang Mang laughed and said: "I think it's better to forget it, it's best not to happen between senior brothers and sisters, if you have that time and energy, it's better to deal with those enemies." ”

Taihao responded: "What Uncle Shi said is, dare to ask when Uncle Shi will come back?" ”

Shang Mang said slowly: "When you wipe out all the Japanese invaders, it is also the day I return to this place, I have been fighting against the Japanese warriors for many years, but the number of Japanese warriors is increasing, but the local maritime merchants are colluding with those Japanese invaders, which has added a lot of difficulties to our struggle. Now it's time for the main force to fight against the Japanese warriors to be replaced by my apprentices, but if you can't solve something, you can come here and tell Yin Hai about the trouble you encountered, and he will find me. ”

Taihao said: "My nephew understands...... Uncle Shi must take care of his body! ”

Shang Mang smiled and nodded, then told Tai Hao a few words, and then rested.

The next day, just after dawn, Tai Hao and Shang Mang's eleven apprentices got up and found that Shang Mang had already left. Tai Hao asked Yin Hai, "Senior Brother Yin Hai, do you know when Uncle Yin left?" ”

Yin Hai just shook his head, indicating that he didn't know when the master left.

Tai Hao asked Yin Hai for his weapons back, and then led eleven brothers to bid farewell to Yin Hai and left the mansion in Dongbai Mountain.

Dongbai Mountain is about 400 miles away from Wenchuan City, and they found a horse farm at the bottom of the mountain, bought twelve horses, mounted them and began to hurry. At this time, the sun had risen very high, and a fish-belly white appeared in the eastern sky, and the sun illuminated the entire mountain forest brightly. At this time, they heard the "rustling" of leaves next to them, and suddenly a row of men in black blocked their way in front of them. Taihao tightened the leash of his horse and asked them, "Who are you, and what are you doing?" ”

The eleven brothers held the Mo knife in their hands, clenched the hilt, and prepared to fight. Shioko said to Taihao, "They are the samurai of the Wa Kingdom, and we have fought once before, but they have become stronger now. Brothers, get ready for battle! ”

Tai Hao saw that their appearance was indeed similar to the male warrior of the Japanese Kingdom that he had seen yesterday, and nodded, he knew that this battle was very crucial. He took a deep breath, mounted on his horse, held a long sword, and led his brothers and sisters to rush towards the enemy.

The swords of both sides staggered in the air, making a piercing metal crash. Tai Hao and his brothers fought bravely, constantly waving the weapons in their hands to force the enemy back.

However, the strength of the Japanese samurai was very strong, and they constantly attacked, leaving Taihao and his brothers in a bitter battle. Tai Hao felt that his strength was no longer enough to sustain the entire battle, and he had to use other martial arts moves to repel these Japanese warriors.
