Chapter 19: Footwork, Getting Started!

Coming to the bottom of the waterfall, Gu Yan untied the knot on his chest and prepared to remove the knife on his back.

"Bang-" The big knife smashed on the stones in the water, causing splashes and gravel to shoot out in all directions.

"It's so heavy!" Raising the knife again, Gu Yan exerted his strength to eat milk as soon as he came, and as soon as the tip of the knife left the water, there was another loud bang. A knife smashed down, and the entire blade buzzed so loudly that Gu Yan's hand holding the handle of the knife was numb, and the person almost fell out.

Once it didn't work, he tried a few more times, but it still didn't work. "What can I do if I practice knife skills, but I can't even lift the knife?" Gu Yan suddenly panicked.

"Whether you practice knives or swords, you must pay attention to the next game and know how to unload. At this time, the ancient opening on the shore reminded.

"Unloading?" Gu Yan didn't understand, and asked directly, "Dare to ask Master, what is unloading?"

"Unloading, in general, is to save effort. There are many methods, such as the use of force in four or two thousand catties, and the method of dispersing force throughout the body. I said this only to give you some hints, and you want to go specifically. The ancient, apparently reluctant to say more, meditated alone with his eyes closed on the shore.

"Master, I still want to know what the name of this knife of mine is?"

"Drink blood. After waiting for a long time, the old man spit out the two words.

"Drink blood? However, it is also a good match. In the future, I, Gu Yan, will use it to drink all the evil blood in the world. Looking at the blood-drinking knife in his hand, Gu Yan muttered silently in his heart.

But how do you lift the knife now?

Gu Yan carefully recalled what the master had just said about the method of unloading the force, and pondered it repeatedly. How to use force to play with force?

At first, he still couldn't find where to start, frowning and thinking.

"By the way, didn't Master Zun also say that you should pay attention to your efforts?" Thinking of this, after thinking for a while, Gu Yan quickly figured it out. "When the master said this, he was just reminding me that I had to achieve the effect of unloading the whole body through the stability of the lower plate before I could lift the blood-drinking knife. ”

Spread your legs apart, squat into a horse step, keep your body as straight as possible, and exhale deeply. Gripping the hilt with both hands, "Ahh The blood-drinking knife was then raised, and at this time, Gu Yan's face turned red, and the green tendons on his arms burst out. Then his feet were a little more out of the way, and his knees were bent even more.

The divine consciousness has been sensing the antiquity of the external situation, and at this time he opened his eyes again, looked at Gu Yan, and said, "'Cutting, cutting, chopping, cutting, slashing, stabbing, guillotine' are the basic moves of some knives, and I will demonstrate them for you one by one, you have to look at them." ”

After speaking, the divine consciousness grabbed a tree branch. Gu Yi used his knife as a substitute for the knife, practicing the basic moves on the side, and Gu Yan on the side also put down the blood-drinking knife in his hand and watched intently.

Soon, a set of moves was rehearsed. The ancient threw away the branch in his hand. "As you can see, some moves may seem useless, but I ask you to practice them all, plan ahead, and there are some moves that can be useful once in a while. Again, it's the basics!"

"Yes. Gu Yan replied respectfully.

"Okay, it's getting late, you practice for a while, and we should go back. ”

"Drink--hum-" Soon after, a sound of dancing knives sounded.

The sound of knives slashed through the air, colliding with the whirring wind.

Gu Yan's face was oozing water continuously, and he couldn't tell whether it was sweat or river water.

The days passed so fast, and in the blink of an eye, a month passed.

"Huh-" On the other side of the river of the Imperial Order, a figure took a deep breath, "It's been a month, I seem to have practiced this footwork to a bottleneck, see what the master can think of." ”

Whoosh, an afterimage swept by, and after more than a dozen breaths, Gu Yan appeared on the other side of the riverbank. Slowly walked to the ancient side, bowed down and asked, "Master, I recently found that my Ghost Shadow Trace Step, no matter how hard I tried, it was difficult to progress, and it was always maintained at the thirteenth breath, and the disciple begged the master to help me think of a way." ”

Opening his eyes, Gu frowned, "There is such a thing." Let me think. A few minutes passed, and he smiled and nodded, "Well, it should be." You come with me. ”

I don't talk much about it. He got up and lived in the cloud ring and walked towards the periphery, and Gu Yan hurriedly followed.

The two stopped at the entrance of a cave. "Yes, that's it. The ancient divine sense swept over and nodded with satisfaction, and then he turned to Gu Yan behind him and said, "There is a wolf's den there, you go and kill this group of wild wolves in it for me." ”

"Master, that's a pack of wolves. Gu Yan was obviously shocked, and he couldn't help blurting out this sentence.

"You don't need to say it, I know. Don't you want to improve? That's the best way to do it. Fighting, what you lack now is fighting, and only in battle, can you make great progress in your footwork and knife skills. ”

Immediately, he said, "Go ahead, take your sword and fight." But remember, even if you die, I won't do it. ”

The word "fight!" made Gu Yan's heart boil. Although he had not yet had a real battle, his heart was full of desire.

Only by growing up in battle can you truly gain experience;

Only through the watering of blood can we understand death and the preciousness of life;

Even if the failure is scarred. Because of the scars, it was a man's medal.

Lifting the blood-drinking knife, Gu Yan strode towards the cave.

As soon as he stepped into the wolf's den, the sound of his footsteps echoed through the cave.

"Damn. This voice suddenly woke up Gu Yan's previous pride. quickly calmed down, and scolded in his heart, he was too careless.

Woo -

This sound apparently alerted the wolves in the cave, and after a while, a wild wolf slowly walked out. I saw that there was still a little blood on the side of its mouth, and when it saw Gu Yan, it was stunned at first, after all, this is a wolf's den. This wolf is also cautious, walking around Gu Yan non-stop, sniffing Gu Yan's breath with its nose. After making sure that the person in front of it did not have the kind of aura that scared it, its wolf eyes suddenly lit up, revealing the fangs in its mouth, and opened its claws and pounced violently towards Gu Yan.

Gu Yan instinctively flashed, but the wolf was startled, the guy in front of him jumped at will, and he was a foot away.

Looking at Gu Yan again, it was the first time to face a wild wolf so closely, it was a little nervous and scared, but when the wolf really pounced on him, he suddenly realized that this was the moment of life and death, either kill the wolf himself, or the wolf eat himself.

This is the law of nature!

"Die!" Thinking of this, Gu Yan immediately swung the blood-drinking knife and slashed at the wild wolf with a fierce face. Wolf blood splattered, and a wolf's head rolled to the ground.

Woo-woo-woo

Bursts of wolf howls were heard, and the smell of blood in the air aroused their murderous nature.

"Strike first!" Without waiting for the wolves to come out, Gu Yan took the initiative to get in.

In the cave, at a glance, dense wild wolves gathered together, a little counting, nearly a hundred, under their mouths, are the corpses of small beasts, seeing this intruder, one by one raised the wolf's head, bared his teeth, and snorted hostilely from his mouth.

Gu Yan didn't care about these at this time, he picked up the blood-drinking knife, and pounced on the wolves and slashed at them. And one wild wolf after another also pounced on him.

Ahh

I saw him roaring and wielding a blood-drinking knife while constantly dodging the wolves that flew at him.

Poof, a wild wolf's paw landed on him, leaving a wound with no skin. And then another. And Gu Yan still tried his best to dodge.

Under such a battle, Gu Yan completely forgot to train his footwork, his sword technique, and he is now completely immersed in this battle, either you die or I die!

As time passed, Gu Yan was in a daze, and faintly found some tricks, and became more and more skilled at dodging. At first, the wolves could leave many wounds, but now, except for a few stronger wolves, the wolves could not hurt him at all.

In the blink of an eye, wolf heads fell to the ground, the number of wolves continued to weaken, and Gu Yan's physical strength was also constantly consumed. I saw that his face was pale at this time, and the dripping sweat had already soaked his clothes, but he was still gritting his teeth and persevering. Now the battle has become a contest of wills.

Bang -

As the last wolf head hit the ground, Gu Yan stuck the knife on the ground, supported himself, and walked out of the wolf's den step by step.

"Master... Master, I succeeded. After saying this sentence intermittently, he fell to the ground and fainted.

"Well, son, get some good sleep. "How can the ancients not know about the situation in the wolf's den.

As Gu Yan said before he fell into a coma, he, footwork, has been introduced!
