Chapter 50: The Martial Arts Pavilion
When he came to Du Yuesong's side, before he could salute, Du Yuesong stretched out his right hand again and put it on Yu Feng's forehead, giving him a general understanding of his current physical condition. It has been almost a month since Yu Feng accepted Du Yuesong's suggestion and started to strengthen his body until today. The other disciples have made a lot of progress, and they have all learned some martial arts techniques to a greater or lesser extent, but they are only cultivating this technique of strengthening the body, and although they have some dissatisfaction in their hearts, they can't talk to the master. Since Du Yuesong arranged it like this, he must have his ideas.
After a while, Du Yuesong withdrew his right hand and nodded, seemingly satisfied. "It seems that so far, you have done your best and have not let me down. After so many days of training, have you ever felt any changes in your body, or how did you feel yourself?"
Yu Feng thought about it carefully and replied: "At first, when I went out to train every day, I always felt tired, tired, and unenergetic, but as the time went by, this feeling was reduced a lot. And now, when I run in the mountains every day, I am not as tired as before, and I can continue to do it until the end even if I don't take a break in the morning. ”
"I just checked your body, and your physique is indeed much stronger, and with this as a premise, if you learn the exercises, you will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort and make faster progress. According to your current situation, you can already study martial arts. Have you ever thought about what kind of martial arts you want to learn?"
Yu Feng remembered the time when he and Fang Wei studied various weapons, and remembered the scene when Du Yuesong and Geng Lin confronted him that day. "I remember that the master used a long sword, so naturally I also want to practice swordsmanship. ”
"I am good at using swords, but if you want to learn others, I can teach you what I can do. The main thing is to find a weapon that suits you, not just a liking. Du Yuesong thought for a while, and said to Yufeng, "That's it, find me another day, and I'll take you to the martial arts room to try out various weapons to choose the one that suits you." ”
Yu Feng nodded fiercely, Du Yuesong's idea was very much in line with his heart, it shouldn't take a few days for him to be able to practice martial arts.
Du Yuesong continued: "But before that, you should first learn the art of bare-handed fighting. Nowadays, the use of weapons has reached its peak, and fighting with weapons is definitely the best choice. However, on the battlefield, it is inevitable that there will be accidents that will make the weapon out of hand, and if it is at this time, how can he be killed with his bare hands. Also, when attacking in a hurry, it takes a certain amount of time to summon the weapon, although it is only a disguise, but the master's move is only in this thought. Therefore, the art of bare-handed combat is indispensable. Today, I will teach you this fighting technique first, and after you have tried to choose your weapon another day, you can practice it at the same time. However, remember that there are two things that cannot be cultivated alone, as well as this technique of strengthening the body and refining the body, all three of which are the foundation of martial arts cultivation, and they are indispensable, and they all need to be practiced on weekdays. ”
Yu Feng listened to these and wrote them down one by one. For Du Yuesong's instructions, he is still quite obedient, at least in his opinion, these are very reasonable.
For half a day, Yu Feng followed Du Yuesong, and in this pavilion, he learned two sets of bare-handed boxing, although this boxing technique is not very good in terms of practicality, but it is also a basic must-learn technique. Du Yuesong instructed to practice several times a day until he became proficient.
"The secret techniques of our clan's exercises, sorted out by our ancestors, are included in the two exercises of "Lingyuan Lu" and "Heavenly Spirit Techniques", the former is an ordinary exercise, and the latter is a high-level secret technique. The two classics contain more than 12,000 exercises, spiritual spells, and spells. What you are learning today is from two of the Spiritual Source Records. Saying that, Du Yuesong casually took out two bamboo rolls from the void and handed them to Yu Feng. "These two sets of boxing techniques are recorded on this bamboo scroll, which is the basic exercise, and it is not precious, so you can take it. If there is something you don't understand or forget, you can practice according to the records in this volume. ”
What Du Yuesong said, Yu Feng saw it in the book a few days ago. For the "Spirit Source Record" and "Heavenly Spirit Technique", he is full of mystery in his eyes. The exercise books stored in the library are also from the "Lingyuan Lu". Among the high-level secret method bamboo scrolls placed on the fourth floor, some of them are from the "Heavenly Spirit Technique", but there are not many of them, and they are the most low-level.
Yu Feng stretched out his hand to take the bamboo scrolls, although they were just ordinary introductory exercise bamboo scrolls, he still put them away with great preciousness. After all, this was the first exercise he learned, and he still attached great importance to it.
"For so long, people may come here every morning to rest, but few people come here during the day. If you are practicing the exercises, you can come to this pavilion, and if I have free time, I will come here often and give you some guidance. Du Yuesong looked at all corners of the pavilion and said to Yu Feng again.
"I think this pavilion seems to have been around for a long time, the style is a little old, and the colors are a lot darker, so it's no wonder that no one comes here on weekdays. When Yu Feng came here to rest every day, he also made a little observation of this pavilion. Although this pavilion is old, it is extremely sturdy, otherwise it would not still stand here after so many spring and autumn periods.
Du Yuesong smiled, "Speaking of this pavilion, I still have a memory." This pavilion is called Shangwu Pavilion, and it has been built for nearly 200 years. I heard that it was the person in charge of the Lushen training camp at that time, who often practiced with his disciples here, and specially ordered someone to build this pavilion so that everyone could rest here when they were practicing. At that time, the power of nature in this forest was very strong, and it was suitable for cultivation here, but today, it is not as strong as it was then. ”
Du Yuesong walked out of the pavilion, pointed to the blank space above, and said: "In the past, when I was still young, I also practiced here with my friends, and the plaque on this pavilion was accidentally knocked off when we were practicing. Looking back now, I was really stupid at that time, and I was going to hit the side, but I accidentally hit the plaque, and the plaque that had been loosened for too long fell like this. After that, if someone came to this pavilion, they no longer knew that this was the Shangwu Pavilion. ”
Listening to Du Yuesong's memories, Yu Feng also felt a little funny, and he laughed out loud without feeling it. He followed him out of the pavilion and looked at the empty space on it.
"After the plaque was laid, we felt that something was wrong, but the plaque had been broken in half, and we could no longer hang it, so we had to put it in the pavilion. Later, I don't know who completely broke the plaque, so we had to bury it in the ground outside the pavilion. Du Yuesong also smiled, "After so many years, I didn't expect this place to be the same." The pavilion is still strong here, and the plaque has always been this blank. ”
Du Yuesong's memory, although it is not a glorious history, is also a lingering memory in his heart. Hearing this, Yu Feng had a new understanding of this broken pavilion. Although the pavilion is dilapidated, this place is also a treasure.
Three days later, Yu Feng was called out again by Du Yuesong. He was taken to a building on the east side of the square, which was so spacious that it was a place to practice at a glance. In the four corners of the room, there are various weapons, which are very complete. All around, there are many disciples dancing and playing swords here to make contacts.
Listening to Du Yuesong, this is an indoor martial arts arena, and the surrounding walls are all made of relatively hard tungsten gold steel, and protective spells are cast to prevent disciples from accidentally destroying them when practicing martial arts here. However, this tungsten gold steel is not the hardest thing, if an ordinary disciple accidentally hits the wall, it will naturally withstand it, and if it is a strong attack, it will naturally collapse. Therefore, this place is just a place to practice, and it is by no means a place for masters to make moves.
Du Yuesong took Yu Feng to a corner, where all kinds of weapons were placed aside, but the people who came here to practice basically had their own handy weapons that they carried, but they didn't take them from here, so the weapons here were very complete.
"You go and pick these weapons and see which ones are more suitable for you and easier to control. Du Yuesong pointed to the various weapons placed on the wall, turned his head and said to Yu Feng in a commanding tone.
Yu Feng agreed, and stepped forward to check the weapons. He successively took out eight kinds of weapons, including swords, knives, axes, clubs, spears, halberds, and bows, and simply tried them one by one according to Du Yuesong's instructions. In the end, he found the sword, club, and bow to be relatively easy to use. When I used to be at home, I used to fiddle with my father's hunting bow and some wooden sticks at home when I had nothing to do, so I was very comfortable with these two. As for the sword, he had secretly studied some before, although only the fur of impracticality.
Du Yuesong nodded on the side, "It seems that that's all." Swordsmanship is relatively easy to get started, and there are relatively many types of swordsmanship records, so you can start with swordsmanship. If you are interested and able in the future, you can practice the art of sticks and the art of the far bow on your own. As he spoke, he took out two bamboo rolls again and handed them to Yu Feng. "When you get back, you can practice from this record. At this time, the basic swordsmanship content of our clan is a compulsory course for those who cultivate swords. If there is something you don't understand, you can come to my place and ask me for advice. If you learn this content thoroughly, you can also come to me to report, and after I pass the test, I will teach you more and deeper swordsmanship. ”
Yu Feng took the bamboo rolls and put them away with the same preciousness. At the same time, he replied: "The disciple has written it down, and the disciple will study and practice hard and strive to achieve it as soon as possible." ”
"It's been a month since the start of martial cultivation, and although you have just begun to learn all kinds of combat techniques, if you can follow my arrangement and cultivate diligently, you can also make rapid progress. However, as a teacher, you don't need to be quick in March, you can be steady and fast, and you can also use a year to let you learn from this Lushen Island. ”
"The disciple understands and will not fail to live up to the master's teachings. Yu Feng saluted respectfully, and then asked, "I don't know if the master has anything else to do, if not, the disciple will immediately rush back to the Xishan Shangwu Pavilion to practice." ”
Du Yuesong thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Wait, there is another thing I think I should explain to you at this time." His expression became a little serious as he spoke.
