Volume I, Chapter 18
I don't know how long it took, Wan Yanfu woke up slowly, and found that he was lying in the place where Tu Bailong was locked, with a faint pain in his head, he reached out and patted his head gently, only to hear the sound of "clanging" and dragging the chain, and only felt that his wrist was like a falling weight, and then he suddenly realized: It turned out that once upon a time, his hands and feet had been firmly locked by four iron chains.
Wan Yanfu was taken aback and called: "Brother Tu!" When you look closely, where is the shadow of slaying a hundred dragons?
After Yan Fu, I wondered now. I remembered that I was dizzy because I smelled the flowers. The floral scent must be poisonous. I once remembered that Tu Bailong said that he was captured because he smelled the fragrance of flowers. It seems that it must be the ghost of the golden knife and horse. Now that Brother Tu has suddenly disappeared, where has he gone? Was he poisoned by the post supervisor? Think about it, there is also this possibility, when the post supervisor arrested Brother Tu with a drug stun and imprisoned here, most likely just to force him to teach himself the "Jade Void Eighteen Swords". Who knew that twenty years had passed, but he still hadn't learned half a trick, so he hurt Brother Tu in a fit of anger......
Thinking of this, and thinking of the days when I got along with Tu Bailong, I didn't feel a sour nose and almost burst into tears. But what he couldn't understand was that the Golden Sword Horse Ti Prison Cadre imprisoned Tu Bailong for the purpose of trying to force him to teach swordsmanship, but he was useless, so why did he also capture himself and imprison him here? This is puzzling.
Now it's good that I've been chained up. Before, there was a little hope that when the time came, I might be able to climb out of the hole where the food was delivered and escaped. Now even this glimmer of life is gone...... This...... What should I do about this? Could it be true that I can only wait for death in this square inch of land? In this dark underground stone chamber, although my body is not dead, how is it different from death? Brother Tu used to stay here willingly, because he still had a breath of faith in his heart, hoping that one day he could meet the person he liked and explain the mystery in his heart to him...... And what about me? What can I hope for? Who will let me out...... In an instant, he thought a lot in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more desperate he became, and the more he thought about it, the more sad he felt. The heart said, "It is better to live in such a way than to die." “
After all, he is a young man, and he is the heir of the former emperor of the Dajin Kingdom, and he has never been so wronged in his life. I don't feel sadness coming from it, I cry for a while when I think about it, and I cry for a while and think about it for a while. For a while, I remembered that I was favored in the palace when I was a child, and I wanted wind and rain and rain; for a while, I remembered that my father and mother died on the day of the city's destruction, and for a while, I remembered my uncle's earnest teaching and high hopes for me...... Nearly collapsed.
Thinking about it, he suddenly lifted his right palm and wanted to slap it on the top of his head. If you get this palm, as long as you shoot it on the "Baihui Acupoint", you will die a hundred times, and everything in the world will be liberated.
But then I thought, am I just dead? When I die, there is nothing, my uncle's life and death are unknown, and the whereabouts of the treasure map are unknown...... If I die like this, how can I be worthy of my ancestors and ancestors? How can I repay the hatred of the country and the family...... Thinking like this, this palm can no longer be slapped.
He secretly said in his heart: "The ancients of the Western Zhou Dynasty Jichang endured the humiliation of the food, and the king of Yue Goujian lay down and tasted the gall...... All of them are for the sake of the country, and the plan is to be developed later. There is a saying: 'Heaven will descend on the people, and they will strain their muscles and bones, and starve their bodies and skins.' Tang Xuanzang has gone through 9981 hardships in order to seek the truth, and what is the tribulation I have endured? As long as there is a breath left, I should live bravely, so that I can shoulder the heavy weapon of the country and the high hope of rejuvenating the nation. “
Thinking about it in this way, Wanyanfu's mood calmed down a lot, not only dispelled the idea of suicide in order to seek liberation, but also the pride in his chest suddenly grew, and the desire to survive became stronger and stronger.
After he calmed down, he began to think of a way out again. Since he was taught the "Dark Sight Method" by Tu Bailong, his eyesight has greatly increased, and he can see things as usual in this stone room.
Wan Yanfu revisited the stone room. The four walls of the stone chamber, including the roof and the floor, are made of hard boulders, which are almost impeccable, and it is absolutely impossible to find an escape from them. The only place to get out is through the hole where the food is delivered. However, no matter how you escape, the first thing to do now is to get rid of the chains and shackles on your hands and feet.
It is obviously impossible to break the chains by one's own strength. What do you think, the high martial arts and internal strength of the slaughtering hundred dragons, although they are unparalleled in the world, but they are really rare in the world. Otherwise, how can such worldly masters be locked?
Wan Yanfu carefully looked at the iron chains and shackles on his hands and feet, and there was nothing he could do. Ambition vanished in an instant. It seems that there is no key to unlocking the lock, or some kind of iron and clay, indestructible blade, and there is no way to do it.
Wan Yanfu looked at the stone wall along the chain, wanting to see if there was any possibility of pulling the chain out of the stone wall. But he saw the iron chain go out through the middle of the great stone, and it connected to the left and right. It turned out that what locked his left and right hands and feet was actually two complete iron chains, and if he wanted to pull the iron chains out of the stone wall, unless he was willing to cut off one of his hands and feet, there was no other way.
It was only at this time that Wan Yanfu truly realized the taste of despair, and he couldn't do anything but sit and wait to die.
He hated and annoyed in his heart, suddenly roared, and hit the stone wall with a palm, making a dull thought of "porphyry", under the tentacles, only to feel that the stone wall was uneven, as if there were handwriting or patterns. Surprised, take a closer look. Sure enough, the stone wall behind him was covered in words and patterns. After careful identification, I saw that the left side was engraved with several slightly larger words of "Jade Void Eighteen Swords", and the strokes were thick and round, thinking that someone was engraving them with his fingers.
Needless to say, this must have been carved by Tu Bailong.
Wanyan Fu was surprised and delighted. What is surprising is that Tu Bailong is really miraculous, and he can carve words on the solid stone; It turned out that he had already carved the "Jade Void Eighteen Swords" swordsmanship secret on the stone wall, and reminded himself in words.
Wan Yan Fu looked back along the handwriting, and the next line of words was engraved: the first style, the sword style. Behind it are paradoxically carved some small figures with long swords in their hands, in different postures. Presumably, it is a diagram of the change of gestures in the "sword style" attack and defense.
After that, there is the second type of "horizontal sword pose", the third type "sword cutting pose", and the fourth type "sword pushing pose...... The approximate order is: starting, horizontal, intercepting, pushing, breaking, dragging, going, spinning, twisting, splitting, teasing, sealing, blocking, piercing, breaking, bumping, kicking, chopping, etc., a total of 18 styles, which corresponds to the name of "Yuxu Eighteen Swords". Behind each type is a drawing of a detailed explanation of the way to castrate, which is very complex and changeable.
Wan Yanfu was not in the mood to practice swords and martial arts at this time, but he couldn't help but watch it when he was bored. Later, I got used to it, so I drew a gourd and practiced according to the moves of the villain in the picture. There was nothing else in the stone chamber, nothing to replace the sword. I had to clench my fists lightly, imagining that I had a long sword in my hand, and practiced it repeatedly one action at a time, and it didn't take long for him to learn the first style of "sword style".
After finishing the face and recovering the pole, he was excited, so he immediately practiced the second style."
This second style is called "horizontal sword style". As the name suggests, horizontal means opposite to vertical and vertical. It's a defensive move. But this Jade Void Eighteen Swords is very different from the swordsmanship of ordinary factions, although it seems to be a defensive move on the surface, it is actually a defensive and offensive attack, both offensive and defensive, which makes people unable to guard against it. The horizontal guard contains 12 tricks to keep the word, and there are 12 tricks to attack the word. It's just that these twelve attack tricks are all swords that go sideways, and there is no vertical chopping or straight stabbing. From an outsider's point of view, it can only be regarded as a defensive word, that is, a biased oblique cut and a horizontal chop, which is mainly used to prevent the enemy from attacking.
After learning the first two styles, Wanyan Fu has been well versed in the essentials, and then when practicing the next sixteen sword styles, he will be handy, and in a few days, he will be the world's best "Jade Void Eighteen Swords" practice skillfully, as long as the mind is turning, the sword style is coming, and there is no hesitation.
After Yan Fu learned the "Jade Void Eighteen Swords", he had nothing to do, and he suddenly felt empty in his heart. As soon as this person is bored, his thoughts become more and more. Cheng Ri thought about the east and west, and suddenly thought of his uncle, and then thought of the Khitan princess Yelufei, and suddenly thought of the little girl named Hua Dan'er...... Among them, there is no one who thinks about it the most, the Khitan princess Yelufei. Handsome eyes, smiling, icy muscles like snow, and glamorous, this is the true portrayal of Princess Feifei, and she is also the first young woman to be favored since she was sensible. I just thought that Yelu Fei was a Khitan princess, ranked among the powerful, and although she was born in the royal family, she existed in name only, and she was so downcast, how could she be compared with her?
