Chapter 38: The Extreme
The house was crowded and slightly crowded, and the fire was burning and steaming.
Chen Tang felt a little hot, so he went outside to take a breath.
When the cold wind blows, the pores open, and there is a feeling of refreshment.
Chen Tang picked up a wooden stick in the courtyard and repeatedly practiced the eight-style basic knife technique, as familiar as possible.
No matter how well he practiced the Tiger Fist, even if he cultivated to the copper skin, he was still flesh and blood, and he couldn't catch the white blade empty-handed.
The so-called knife has no trace, but when the other party does not exert force.
If the opponent slashes at him with all his strength, if he can't dodge, he will still bleed and be wounded.
Mastering a weapon as soon as possible can also better protect oneself.
Mei Yingxue didn't stay long, then got up and said goodbye.
When I came to the courtyard, I saw Chen Tang, who was using a stick as a knife and gesturing in mid-air, and couldn't help but sigh lightly.
Even if he encountered such a predicament and suffered such a catastrophe, he still did not give up, and he was still thinking about practicing martial arts in his heart.
This kind of will and determination to practice martial arts is not much higher than mine.
But this knife technique looks so simple, even if you practice it for a few years, what's the use?
What's more, his body is still ......
I begged my father to see if I could pass on the family heirloom plum blossom pile gong to him, maybe it could help him nourish his body.
If it can be restored to the previous five or sixty percent, it will be a blessing.
Mei Yingxue was preoccupied, nodded and smiled with Chen Tang, said goodbye and left.
The fat old man didn't show off just now, but was killed by Chen Tang's words, and he was still sulking in the house.
Qing Mu sent Mei Yingxue away and returned to the house.
Zhiwei stood in the courtyard, watching Chen Tang practicing his sword skills, his eyes were shining, and he seemed to be very interested.
"You want to practice martial arts, right?"
Chen Tang noticed Zhiwei's expression, and said with a smile: "You take care of your injuries first, take care of your body, eat fat, and then practice martial arts when you have a foundation." ”
Zhiwei has a lot of new and old injuries on his body, he can't eat enough all the year round, he is skinny, his body is weak, and now he can't even work, let alone practice martial arts.
"Hmm."
Zhiwei nodded vigorously.
I didn't know what to think, Zhiwei looked hesitant, hung his head and hesitated for a long time before he looked up and said, "Brother Tang, in fact, I also know how to use swordsmanship." Do you want to learn, I can teach you. ”
"Oh?"
Chen Tang looked at Zhiwei's serious and tangled appearance, felt funny in his heart, and asked, "You have been lost with your family since you were a child, where did you learn the swordsmanship?" ”
Zhiwei showed a confused look, thought for a long time, and then said: "At that time, I was not lost, I saw a person at home, I can't remember the appearance of that person, but I remember that he smiled very kindly, and played with me with a chopstick for a long time." ”
"Later, when I was having dinner with my family, I played with that chopstick, just like when I played with that person. When my mother saw this, she was shocked and asked me where I learned this swordsmanship. ”
"At that time, I knew that it was a swordsmanship."
Chen Tang was originally not interested in the swordsmanship in Zhiwei's mouth.
But when I heard this paragraph, I was curious.
Zhiwei said: "Over the years, although I have been wandering, as long as I have time, I will find a branch and play a few times. I can't remember the man, but I still remember the swordsmanship clearly. ”
"Come, let me see what your swordsmanship is famous for."
Chen Tang said with a smile, picked up a branch in the yard and handed it to Zhiwei.
If there is nothing to do left and right, just play casually with Zhiwei and relax.
Zhiwei held a branch in his hand, crossed his chest, and set up a shelf.
"Not bad, not bad."
Chen Tang nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "With a sword in hand, it is really extraordinary." ”
Zhiwei heard that Chen Tang was making fun of her, and laughed along.
"You make a move."
Chen Tang waited for a long time, but Zhiwei still stood still, and couldn't help urging.
Zhiwei's cheeks flushed, and he said, "Brother Tang, I won't attack, this swordsmanship can only be defended." ”
"Haha, that's simple, I'll attack, be careful!"
Chen Tang chuckled, also held a branch, and slowly chopped down towards the top of Zhiwei's head according to the splitting style in the basic knife technique.
He was afraid of hurting Zhiwei, so his speed was not fast, and he didn't have much strength.
Zhiwei is still motionless.
It wasn't until Chen Tang's branch was about to be cut to the front door that Zhiwei took a step diagonally, his body was slightly sideways, his wrist turned, and the branch in his hand blocked the branch in front of him and turned sideways!
Chen Tang felt that the branch in his hand was a little out of control, and he stepped aside.
"Huh?"
Chen Tang looked surprised.
The power transmitted by Zhiwei's sword was a little greater than he imagined!
What's more, after he retracted the branches, he recalled Zhiwei's swordsmanship just now, and he actually had a feeling that he couldn't start and couldn't make a move!
No matter from what angle he slashes, chops, slashes, pierces, hangs, teases, wipes, points, and entangles, it seems that Zhiwei's sword will swing away and resist it.
For a while, Chen Tang was stunned.
"Your swordsmanship is indeed a bit interesting."
After a while, Chen Tang came back to his senses and exclaimed.
"Brother Tang, I'll teach you."
Zhiwei was recognized by Chen Tang, and he was also full of joy, and practiced this swordsmanship several times, until Chen Tang completely remembered it.
Chen Tang practiced for a while, left the house, and went straight to the Three Thousand Snow Ridge.
This descent was purely accidental.
He had revenge in mind, but he didn't act rashly and rashly went to find trouble with Cui Zhao.
According to Li Junqing and Mei Yingxue, he should be the strength of the nine grades, and he has a great chance of winning against Cui Zhao.
But after all, there are some discrepancies with the statement of the mountain guest, Chen Tang plans to go to the snow mountain to ask clearly, and by the way, bring the bow and knife on the snow mountain.
If it is really on the ninth grade, if you want to break through the realm, you have to practice the practice of forging bones.
Returning to the Three Thousand Snow Ridge again, Chen Tang is already familiar with the road.
Before dark, I have climbed to the top of the snow-capped mountain and see the mountain visitors again.
Xue Tuan'er pounced on him and haunted him with a whirring roar, as if to blame him for why he had been down the mountain for so long and came back.
"There was an accident going down the mountain, and I went back to Changze County again."
Chen Tang looked at the mountain guest and asked, "Senior, I asked two people at the bottom of the mountain, and they both said that my current cultivation has reached the ninth grade, and my cultivation has reached the copper skin realm. ”
"During this time, I did feel the bottleneck, and the growth of strength was extremely slow."
The mountain guest said: "According to the standards of Qianguo, you do have nine grades, but you have not yet reached my standards for you." ”
"Southern Xia is divided by borders, and Qianguo is distinguished by grades, which are similar to each other. Each grade of Qianguo is divided into upper and lower levels, but in fact, there is a third realm, which is called the extreme realm. ”
Chen Tang was puzzled: "Extreme Realm? ”
Yamanaka explained: "You can divide the nine products into small success, great completion and consummation, and the extreme realm corresponds to consummation. ”
Chen Tang was stunned, and then asked: "Then why was it only divided into upper and lower at the beginning, and not according to Xiaocheng, Dacheng, and Consummation?" ”
"Because the realm of perfection is too difficult to cultivate."
The guest in the mountain said: "If a normal person wastes too much time for the sake of cultivating perfection, the gain outweighs the loss. ”
"And you have the opportunity, you have the photo of entering the gods, and you have the milk of the mountain monarch and the tiger, the heavenly ginseng, and the monkey wine nourishment, if you can't cultivate to the extreme realm, it will be a waste of these treasures and your talent."
Chen Tang pondered, and then asked: "What are the characteristics or signs of the extreme realm of the nine products?" ”
The guest in the mountain said: "On the ninth grade, the corresponding copper skin and iron bone on the eighth grade are respectively, but if you cultivate to the extreme realm, you will transform again and cultivate ice muscle jade bones!" ”
"On the surface, your skin is no different from ordinary people, even fairer, as delicate as a baby, without any signs of martial arts. But in fact, this is the extreme realm, reaching the level of perfection of returning to the basics. ”
