Chapter 4: The Sword and the Man
After three months of training, Kong Ming finally sent out the first fighting spirit of his life, the fighting spirit only flew forward a little bit, from the training time and effect point of view, it is far inferior to the people who were captured as soldiers at the same time, they only need ten days to send out the fighting spirit, and it can reach more than one meter, the amount is enough, the warrior fighting spirit is worthy of being a good way for the warrior to get started. When I saw Kong Ming send out a fighting slash, the black wolf's eyes staring at Kong Ming finally changed a little, it was a kind of relief look, at that moment the black wolf exhaled a breath of relief, Kong Ming also had a trace of emotion in his heart after seeing it, but, after the training that day, Kong Ming finally knew why the black wolf had that expression, from seeing Kong Ming's first day of training, it turned out that he was making a bet with the wild fox to see when Kong Ming, the last molecule, would be able to practice his fighting spirit, he thought that it would not be more than a month at most, and then it was changed to one and a half months, two months, two and a half months, and finally after losing four times, he finally won onceIn this way, after losing forty silver coins, he finally won back ten silver coins, which allowed him to regain a little bit of confidence in betting. Of course, when Kong Ming sent out this first pitiful fighting slash, Kong Ming's sword swinging training was over, and he was the last person to end this training, because the other people had already been trained in sword skills, and they had already become a real warrior or a junior swordsman, or even higher than the level of an intermediate swordsman, after all, the foundation of people was different when they came in, and some people had this strength when they came in. (Swordsmen can be divided into one to nine levels, and they can also be called junior swordsmen, intermediate swordsmen, senior swordsmen, junior swordsmen, intermediate swordsmen, senior swordsmen, great swordsmen, sword masters, sword gods, corresponding to magicians) Of course, there are many people like Kong Ming who don't know anything about swordsmanship. But in the end, Kongming's body is the thinnest, even among his peers.
The next day, Kong Ming began to focus on practicing swordsmanship, saying that swordsmanship is actually due to the storage of fighting spirit, and can be released, so no one has performed swordsmanship into a routine, but only a simple posture and pace of cooperation, the upper body movements are only stabbing, splitting, picking, gridding, blocking, pull, and so on a few actions, and the lower body is the two legs to move in several directions, the upper and lower body of the cooperation constitutes all the content of the warrior's fighting spirit two-handed sword, of course, there are also some families have their own fighting spirit and special sword skills to cooperate, can more fully play a fighting ability. The military camp only has this kind of fighting spirit that is easy to learn and easy to play, and the facts have proved that it is effective, but it is at the expense of the later development, and in the short term it can form a team of swordsmen who know how to fight the spirit, so it is very popular with all kinds of armies, anyway, many people will die after a battle. Moreover, due to people's own reasons, people can train to become high-level swordsmen, and the time is very short, and the materials required are very small, and the results are fast, but the same mage needs more time and money, of course, the swordsman who goes up to the next level not only needs time, but also has to do with people's efforts and talents, many people often stop at high-level swordsmen for a lifetime, so there will be several high-level swordsmen in the general small village. Now Kong Ming is the same village of the old man in his fifties is learning swordsmanship, the old man himself is an intermediate swordsman, when he was young, he also worked in the army for more than ten years, and he is also a respected hunter in the village, hunting some low-level monsters near the village, together with a team of people, many are from the same village, and their swordsmanship and hunting have been more or less guided by the old man since childhood, after coming to the barracks, the black wolf saw that he had stayed in the army, and he was old, and it was impossible to train like ordinary people, so he handed over some training to him, and he was happy to be idle, there is a saying about what"There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure. "Everyone in the team called the old man an old headhunter. When everyone except Kong Ming learned the sword skills, Kong Ming could only face this old man who had always liked to talk alone.
"Boy, listen carefully, are you listening?" The old headhunter shouted at Kong Ming with a dark face, and Kong Ming also shouted at the old headhunter, "I'm listening, old headhunter, I'm listening carefully!" There is no way, these three months of depressed and depressed life, coupled with such an environment, forced a taciturn child like Kong Ming into a temperamental adult.
"Well, then listen carefully," the old headhunter shouted again, but his voice quickly slowed down, "the boy sit down. After speaking, he sat on the ground by himself, Kong Ming looked at him suspiciously, looked left and right, whether the black wolf was around here, and then wanted to sit but didn't dare to sit, the old headhunter looked at Kong Ming's situation, but he didn't feel strange, "If you are told to sit, you will sit, I will take care of anything." Kong Ming sat down nervously, still a little uneasy, looked left and right again, and then suddenly saw the black wolf on the side of the training ground glaring at him, he subconsciously bounced up, but before he got up, he was hit on the shoulder by a sword spine, and the whole person was beaten down again, it was a sword hit by the old headhunter, but Kong Ming did not look at the person who attacked him, his eyes were still looking at the black wolf in horror, only to see that the black wolf was just laughing, and there was no intention of coming to intervene, Kong Ming then put his mind at ease, sat down cross-legged, looked at the weathered face of the old headhunter suspiciously, and wondered why the old headhunter would not come to intervene if the black wolf sat like thisThe old headhunter didn't answer the little doubt in his heart for Kong Ming, "Kong Ming, I grew up watching you, you tell me seriously, what is a sword?"
"Sword?" Kong Ming picked up the long sword in his hand, placed it flat on his knee, stroked it with his hand, and then asked in a puzzled voice, "Isn't this a sword?"
"Hehe, Kong Ming, this is just a kind of sword, as for what a sword is? I can't say clearly, I only know that the sword is also spiritual. Can I tell you a story?" After all, Kong Ming is a teenager, and when he heard the story, his ears were seriously pricked up, although this story Kong Ming listened to many times next to the old headhunter since he was a child, and moreover, in this barracks, the old headhunter would tell them the same story every time he had free time, but like today, the old headhunter told this story to Kong Ming very strictly, and Kong Ming still felt very surprised, the same story, the same beginning. "At that time, I was still young, I had just finished ten years of military service, and I joined the mercenary union with a high-level swordsman, becoming a mercenary, and I joined a mercenary group, which is now the famous Iron Hand Mercenary Group, and now it is an A-level mercenary group, at that time, the Iron Hand Mercenary Group was just an ordinary D-class mercenary group, and there were very few members in the group, only more than a hundred people. On that occasion we were on a mission to escort a nobleman from Kari to the capital of the Empire, and on the way we met a sword god. At the beginning, Kong Ming didn't know how many times he had listened to it, but in order to rest or be a little lazy, he still pretended to be very interested, and listened to the old headhunter continue his topic. "When we met him, he was camping in a wood, our regiment commander recognized him, and then we knew that he was a sword god, and he and our regiment commander were old acquaintances, as if he was a friend of the regiment commander's father, and he once instructed the regiment commander in swordsmanship, and when the regiment commander asked him again about cultivation, we were fortunate to be allowed to sit on the sidelines, and I can still remember what he said at that time, and even I remember his every move. When he explained swordsmanship to the regiment commander, he said that if any of us can understand the meaning of this sentence, then his swordsmanship will make great progress, otherwise no matter how hard a person tries, it is impossible to reach the peak of swordsmanship. Sword is nature', he asked us to bring this sentence to all the people who may meet who like swordsmanship, and I left the Iron Hand Mercenary Regiment after that time, returned to the village, and realized this sentence, but there has been no progress, and all I can do now is to say it to everyone who likes swordsmanship, remember that sentence, if you can realize it one day, then your swordsmanship will get a qualitative leap, not like me can only stop at this stage, unable to advance. Remember?"
"Hmm, have you memorized 'the sword is nature'? It's easy to remember, is this sentence difficult to understand? Why haven't you understood it after thinking about it for so many years? Isn't it just a few words?" Kong Ming asked suspiciously.
"Haha, if it's so easy to understand, the world doesn't just have a dozen sword gods, but a large flock, just like sheep. I don't know what this means, because I've been thinking about this sentence all the time, and I still haven't understood the meaning of this sentence for decades, so don't ask me, I just know that he said it at the end, it's a kind of realm. Don't ask me what it is, I don't know. Seeing that Kong Ming opened his mouth to ask, the old headhunter hurriedly said. Kong Ming didn't fight in one place, he didn't know how many times he heard the old headhunter say this, he just wanted the old headhunter not to say it again, that knew that he provoked such a sentence, he knew that the old headhunter would definitely pretend to be mysterious next, sure enough, the old headhunter saw that Kong Ming didn't speak, and he was really satisfied, and whispered mysteriously: "Do you know who that sword god is?" Kong Ming looked left and right very cooperatively, lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "Who?"
The old headhunter was greatly satisfied with Kong Ming's reaction, "That's the sword god Li Feiyang, that's the number one sword god in the Huayuan Empire." ”
Kong Ming is a young man who grew up in a mountain village, and he knows so many things outside, so the ghost knows what he Li Feiyang is, but he still nodded very seriously, indicating that he knew that there was a sword god who ranked first. When the old headhunter said this, his face was full of pride and pride. The whole person was immersed in a kind of glorious memories, Kong Ming didn't bother him, Kong Ming himself was happy to be idle for a few minutes, after all, it was a little bit to be a little lazy, and it was a minute to be able to rest for a minute. After a while, the old headhunter woke up from his memories, "Speaking of which?"
"Sword God Li Feiyang. ”
"Oh, remember that sentence, the commander of the Iron Hand Regiment and the few swordsmen who were there at that time broke through the swordsman's pass and reached the level of the swordsmaster, the swordsman is already a level that we can't reach in our lifetime, you are still young, you still have a chance, but you must first survive this war. As soon as the words changed, the old headhunter began to say to Kong Ming sternly, "The next thing I want to tell you is the capital to survive the war, and it is also the reliance on which you can grow up, except for it, you have no chance of surviving on the battlefield, it is very simple, but it is very practical, and the sword skills can be divided into stabbing, splitting, picking, gridding, blocking, Pull and other six movements, and then with some basic steps to form the swordsman's sword skills, these basic sword skills are generations of soldiers on the battlefield, the usual life and death duel formed, which eliminated a lot of impractical actions, only these few simple and easy to learn practical sword skills, there are many very beautiful and practical sword skills in the world, that is some people designed to match a certain attribute of the fighting spirit, this kind of sword skills with the fighting spirit is usually some large families will have. But as a soldier, you only need to do what I give you on the battlefield, and fancy sword skills will only bring death, remember that. Seeing Kong Ming nodded, the old headhunter continued: " Thorn is to hold the sword with both hands in front of the enemy in a straight line, with the fastest speed, the enemy is stabbed to death, stabbing is the most basic means of attack, however, the weakness of the stab is also very obvious, once the sword stabs the enemy or stabs the enemy after being caught by the enemy with his hand or some other things, then you will be at the moment when the sword retreats no matter how short your time is, it will be a blank spot on your defense; Pick is the position of both hands in a certain area of activity, the use of the length of the sword to provoke the action of the sword, when the strength of the tip of the sword is relatively small, so it is suitable for attacking the opponent with weak defense; grid is to take the initiative to use the sword to open the opponent's weapon or to the side, to avoid the opponent to attack themselves; and block is a passive defense, that is, to block the opponent's attack with the sword, we must pay attention to one point, that is, we must have a proper angle with the opponent's weapon, otherwise the long sword will be easily split by the opponent, and we usually block when we will move a small distance along the opponent's attack route, the opponent's instantaneous attack is weakened as much as possible in a small period of time, so that we can block the opponent's explosive attack as much as possible, so that the block has a little bit of unloading meaning; These actions should be based on the fighting spirit, and the strong fighting spirit can give full play to their effects, without the fighting spirit as the basis, their attack power is not much, and each level of the fighting spirit will be several times stronger than the previous level, so in heads-up, the difference in the level almost determines a qiē, but for a master, it is also very common to succeed in the challenge of leapfrogging, after all, people's weaknesses are very obvious, as long as they attack those weaknesses, even the sword god and the law god are also going to die. In the same level of fighting, the proficiency of sword skills determines the victory or defeat, so Kong Ming, you must learn these most basic sword skills, which can not only improve your sword skill proficiency level, but also greatly help to improve your fighting spirit, after all, this is also a way to improve your fighting spirit. Remember what I said?"
Seeing Kong Ming nodded, the old headhunter stood up, Kong Ming also stood up, the old headhunter held the sword in both hands, stabbed, split, picked, gridded, blocked, and pulled with the pace of moving in all directions, demonstrating one move at a time, and those who have already learned to do the same, Kong Ming also followed, after making a few moves, the old headhunter stopped, specifically instructed Kong Ming's movements, and constantly corrected Kong Ming's wrong movements, so as not to deform Ming's actions. In the next month, Kong Ming not only learned these sword skills, but also made great progress in fighting qi, and also learned the most basic methods of using fighting qi, such as the protective shield of fighting qi, the release of fighting qi slashing, etc., because everyone else has reached the basic requirements of warriors, so the old headhunter has almost become Kong Ming's full-time coach, and the black wolf no longer interferes in Kong Ming's training. And Kong Ming is also training desperately under the life and death experience of the old headhunter, there is no way, there is a sword hanging above his head that he doesn't know when he fell, and he can't do it, so he can only do this in order to survive.
